Abandoned Prince: Summon the Sword God at the beginning

It is said that Situ Qingshan and others left the prosperous imperial capital and galloped on horseback on the straight official road. They ran for more than three hours and the sky began to darken.

"Sir, we need to find an inn to rest for a night before we leave."

Situ Qingshan followed suit, and he didn't want to risk his life like that, so he said, "Just listen to the big brothers, let's find a store!"

This is Qinglong Town. There are not many inns and not much to choose from. They just picked one at random and went through the check-in procedures.

They ordered some of the restaurant's signature dishes and chatted while eating. "Sir, I heard that your hometown is in Xijing?"

Situ Qingshan said: "That's not the case. I was born in Xijing. At that time, my father was the governor of Xijing. He still has a house there."

A dark-faced strong man among the accompanying soldiers said, "We will pass by Xijing when we go to Liangzhou. When we get to Xijing, you must show us your hospitality!"

Situ Qingshan smiled and said, "Of course. When you arrive in Xijing, all your expenses will be charged to my account."

The soldiers said, "Then we would like to thank Master Situ first."

Situ Qingshan was not a person who despised the poor and loved the rich. He got along well with these soldiers. The food they ordered was quickly finished, and he paid for a few side dishes himself.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they each went to their own rooms. There were three rooms for the fifteen soldiers, with five people in each room. Only Situ Qingshan had a private room.

The soldiers' primary responsibility is to protect Situ Qingshan. Their rooms are close to each other, so if there is an accident, they can take care of each other.

Nothing happened during the night, so the soldier got up early in the morning, ordered breakfast and sent it to Situ Qingshan. He found that the young master was still dreaming, so he woke him up.

Situ Qingshan was also a sensible person. After washing up, he had breakfast with the soldiers and continued on his way.

Nowadays, the political situation is in chaos, and the princes from all over the country are ready to make a move. However, recently the king of a different surname, Zhao Qingyun, was killed. The princes from all over the country guessed that it was a setup by the royal family, so they did not dare to act rashly.

The princes were all trying their best to win over the governor of the Eastern Capital, because Jiangnan was a land of fish and rice, with countless amounts of money and grain piled up. Whoever obtained the financial resources of Jiangnan would take the initiative.

At this time, in the official residence of the Eastern Capital, Jiangnan Province, a middle-aged man was meeting a guest. This man was none other than Situ Qingshan's uncle Shangguan Zuo, who served as the Eastern Capital Governor.

"Sir, my prince sent me here to greet the envoys who stayed behind, and also to ask for their support."

The visitor was an aide to Prince Fu, who was enfeoffed in Zhongzhou. Prince Fu was a descendant of Taizu’s sixth son, and he also wanted to experience the life of an emperor.

He knew that there would be a war between the Great Xia royal family and the Northern Sweeping Army. By then, he could take advantage of the situation and wait for them to be defeated. Then, wouldn't the world be his?

The Sweeping North Army was founded by the King of Sweeping North. Although his grandson is still alive, once this man raises his arm and calls for help, people from all over the world will respond. But even if he inherits the title of the King of Sweeping North, he is still a king of a different surname.

Prince Fu did not take the grandson of Prince Saobei seriously. In his opinion, the descendants of Taizu would be the ones who would be qualified to fight for the world in the future.

It was a nice thought. The envoys from Prince Fu were not the first group. Before this, envoys from other princes had already arrived and met with the envoys who stayed behind. Now, they were all accommodated in the inn in Dongdu.

Shangguan Zuo, the governor of Dongdu, was a cautious man. He did not reject the envoys from various vassal kings outright, but treated them all equally, settled them all in the inn, ordered his people to entertain them with good wine and food, and even sent girls from Qingfeng Tower to sleep with them. His hospitality was flawless.

Although the envoys from various families were helpless about Shangguan Zuo's unclear statement, there was no shortage of fine wine, delicious food and beautiful women here, and they lived a carefree life, seemingly unwilling to leave.
