Flying Clouds in Another World

"There's nothing wrong with this marching permit! I'm just a little curious about what the little butcher who ordered the massacre of tens of thousands of barbarians looks like! I say, Master Liu, did you really give the order to massacre tens of thousands of barbarians? You look so scholarly, you don't look like one at all!"

While handing the token and the marching pass to the captain of the Iron Guard, the officer looked at Liu Feiyun with a strange expression.

"Little butcher!? Uh! Well, these barbarians really had it all their own fault. They slaughtered thousands of my people first, and I got excited for a while. I was impulsive and..."

"In a moment of anger! Haha! If it were me! After learning that they were slaughtering my people, I would do the same! When dealing with these barbarians, swords are better than reason. Let's not talk about this for now! Master Liu, your marching pass says that there are only three carriages of tribute, but you have twelve horses! What are the things loaded on the remaining carriages? There won't be any prohibited items!"

The officer initially agreed with and praised Liu Feiyun, but then he changed the subject and started speaking in an official tone.

"Ah! Sir! The other nine carts are loaded with some of my personal belongings, some gifts for my relatives in the city, some Anping specialties that are prepared to be sold in Changluo City, and two carts of books. If you don't believe it, you can check it out! I'm just afraid that it will take up some of your time. Wu Xin, quickly bring our list of belongings for your inspection!"

"Yes! Son!"

Wu Xin hurried forward and respectfully handed over three pieces of thin paper with both hands.

The officer took it casually and saw a piece of paper with only a few simple words written on it: several trucks of gifts, several trucks of goods, several trucks of books, etc. It was simply a lie. The officer's face immediately turned ugly and he was about to call for someone to check the trucks.

Wu Xin saw the opportunity quickly and said, "Don't worry, sir! The top one is just the general list, the two below are the detailed list of items!"

The officer suppressed his anger and flicked his fingers gently, only to see that the piece of paper in the middle was not a list of goods, but a gold note worth one hundred taels!

A hundred taels of gold note can be exchanged for one hundred taels of gold, or one thousand taels of silver.

The officer's brows relaxed immediately, and he smiled again, saying in a friendly manner: "Well! Since these are the prince's personal belongings, and there is a list of items as proof, there is no need to check! Firstly, with the loyalty of the Le Anbo Liu family to the empire, the prince would never bring prohibited items into the capital, and secondly, checking at this gate would really affect traffic! However, I still have to keep this list of items, so that I can register it later for the superiors to check!"

"That's right! This list was prepared for this matter, please keep it safe! I don't know, sir! Can we go into the city now?"

"Of course, of course! Haha! But after entering the city, don't forget to report to the Territory Office before going anywhere else! This is the rule of the court and cannot be violated! And! Speaking of which! I, Zhu, and your second uncle are colleagues! If the prince comes to the East Gate to play again in the future, if you encounter any problems, you can let me know! Uncle, I can help, and I will never refuse! Hahahaha!"

"In that case! I, the nephew, would like to thank Uncle Zhu in advance! I will definitely come to bother you when I have free time in the future! When the time comes, Uncle Zhu, please don't pretend that you don't know me and chase me away!"

"You kid! You're such a talker! Hurry up and leave! Don't keep the old count waiting anxiously! Someone, come! Let us pass!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll go ahead now! Goodbye! Everyone, pay attention! Let's go to the capital!"

The convoy started slowly again, ready to pass through the Qinglong main gate and officially enter Changluo City.

The convoy was lined up in a single column, with dozens of knights in front and twelve four-wheeled carriages behind, filing through the gate. The knights had already passed through the city gate, while the carriages behind were still outside the city gate.

The carriage was carrying too much and too heavy cargo, so it accelerated slowly.

This made the team behind them anxious, and one of them couldn't help but urge loudly: "You country bumpkins in front! Hurry up! You are stepping on ants! You have delayed my young marquis's journey, can you bear the responsibility?"

Bumpkin! Indeed, although Liu Feiyun's four-wheeled carriages have a large cargo capacity, they are not gorgeous at all. They look no different from ordinary trucks, except that they are longer, wider and bigger. They are as rustic as can be.

The three carriages in the rear convoy were so luxurious and extravagant that even the wheels were inlaid with gold and silver.

The walls of Changluo City were tall and thick, and the gates were naturally long and secluded. In addition, Liu Feiyun's team had already left a distance, and the secondary gate next to the main gate was also crowded with people, so Liu Feiyun, who was at the head of the team, naturally didn't hear the shouts of the latecomers. Besides, even if he heard it, he might not pay attention.

The drivers of the Liu family were actually boys and girls brought by Liu Feiyun from Huanming Valley, acting as ordinary guards and chores. Although the boy on the last carriage was unhappy, he remembered the precautions Liu Feiyun had mentioned, so he did not respond to the urging and accusations behind him, and continued to let the horses speed up slowly.

"Hey, you country bumpkins in front! Can you go faster? Are you turtles?" another person in the convoy behind shouted.

"What are you yelling for! Are you dogs? Do you know where this place is? How dare you make such a loud noise here? You are a bunch of bastards! I don't know where you are from! Do you have any tribute to pay to His Majesty? What! No! Why are you going through the main gate without tribute? Do ordinary nobles like you go through this main gate? Go to the side gate! Don't cause trouble for me here! If you keep dithering, I will tear down your carriages! That's right! Hey, you check these three carriages carefully to see if there are any prohibited items. If you find any, confiscate them all! Hurry up! Really, I am also a deputy brigade commander of the Imperial Guards, and I have to deal with these trivial matters all day long!"

The officer named Zhu changed his friendly attitude towards Liu Feiyun and scolded the people in the following convoy.

"Sir! Please don't be angry! My son is the legitimate son of the Marquis!" An old man in the convoy said with a smile.

"Marquis! Is being a marquis so great? Do you know where this place is! Tiandu Changluo! Forget about the marquis! There are a lot of dukes! And legitimate son! Does your legitimate son have a territory to inherit? Can he be called the prince? Can he bring his private army into Changluo City? He has none of these, and yet he dares to go through the Qinglong main gate!"

"This! That! Sir! Why is the team in front of us allowed? Judging from the size of their flags, it should be just an earl! Sir! Please be merciful and don't check our carriage! So as not to scare my little master!"

The old man could only smile awkwardly when seeing Deputy Brigade Commander Zhu's look that said, "Why should I tell you this?" He reluctantly took out a gold ingot weighing several taels from his bosom and stuffed it into Deputy Brigade Commander Zhu's hand.
