Chapter 43: Hiding one's weaknesses, winning the beauty and placing spies

"Xu~"

Sun Fengtian suddenly reined in his horse when he was still several feet away from Chu Yang and the others, dismounted, walked quickly to Chu Yang, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and saluted.

"I am Sun Fengtian, the county magistrate of Nanling City. I am here to see His Royal Highness the Third Prince. Your Royal Highness is a precious person and has come from afar. I am sorry that I failed to welcome you in person. I beg Your Highness to forgive me!"

"It's okay, but what I didn't expect is that you, a county magistrate, actually have the aura of a general. It's really rare."

Chu Yang said with a wry smile, after all, according to the official titles of the Great Zhou, Sun Fengtian was just a county magistrate.

But he called himself the city lord in front of Sima Yi, and his attire made him look more like a king who ruled a certain area.

"I have no choice. Bandits are rampant in Nanling City. I have no choice but to pick up my gun and mount my horse."

Sun Fengtian's humble attitude made Chu Yang sneer in his heart, but he remained calm and said lightly.

"You are too polite, Magistrate Sun. I came here just because I was passing by this precious place and wanted to rest for a while."

"Your Highness, you are joking. You are a wealthy man. It is an honor for me and the entire Nanling City to have you visit this small Nanling City!"

Sun Fengtian still maintained that humble attitude, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Chu Yang sneered in his heart, this Sun Fengtian is worthy of being the lord of a city. With such acting skills, it would be a pity if he didn't go to perform.

"Since Magistrate Sun is so kind, I will not refuse it."

Chu Yang nodded generously and dismounted.

Seeing this, Xing Daorong hurriedly stepped forward and helped Chu Yang get off the horse.

"Your Highness, please mount your horse. I have prepared some wine to welcome you!"

Seeing this, Sun Fengtian hurriedly called on the followers behind him to lead over a tall horse, and said with a smile on his face.

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble County Magistrate Sun."

Chu Yang did not refuse, and with the help of Xing Daorong, he climbed onto the horse.

Sun Fengtian also climbed onto his horse, then waved to his followers behind him, signaling them to lead the way.

The group of people marched towards Nanling City in a mighty procession.

along the way.

Sun Fengtian was trying to get close to Chu Yang, sometimes talking about the customs and culture of Nanling City, sometimes talking about the specialties and food of Nanling City. In short, he was trying to please Chu Yang in various ways.

Chu Yang dealt with it in a disjointed manner, but he was thinking about his own plan in his mind.

That is to let Xing Daorong stay in Nanling City.

soon.

The group arrived at the gate of Nanling City.

"Your Highness, please!"

Sun Fengtian dismounted and made a gesture of invitation to Chu Yang.

Chu Yang nodded, and with the help of Xing Daorong, he got off the horse.

"Your Highness, please come into the city!" Sun Fengtian made a gesture of invitation again.

Chu Yang smiled slightly and walked towards the city gate.

But just as he was about to step into the city gate, he suddenly stopped.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Sun Fengtian asked hurriedly upon seeing this.

"nothing."

Chu Yang shook his head and then strode in.

Seeing this, Sun Fengtian immediately understood what was going on.

Because he had received a letter from Wang Meng, which stated that Chu Yang came to Nanling City to marry Yang Yuhuan.

Now that he had not left the city to welcome Yang Yuhuan, it was normal for Chu Yang to be angry.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, please go into the mansion first. My cousin Yang Yuhuan will be here soon."

Chu Yang didn't say anything, just looked at Sun Fengtian coldly.

"Go quickly!" Xing Daorong shouted sternly.

"Yes Yes Yes."

Sun Fengtian nodded in agreement and quickly ordered his men to invite Yang Yuhuan into the city.

"Humph!"

Chu Yang snorted coldly, with the attitude of a good-for-nothing dandy, extremely arrogant.

Moreover, with the help of Xing Daorong, he climbed onto the horse and walked towards the city.

Sun Fengtian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and secretly felt lucky that Yang Yuhuan was in the city today.

Otherwise, today's incident would be difficult to resolve peacefully.

He quickly jumped on his horse and trotted behind Chu Yang, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

Entered the city gate.

Chu Yang looked at the scene in the city along the way and frowned secretly in his heart.

Although Nanling City has an important geographical location, the city is in a dilapidated state. The people are ragged, pale and thin, and it is obvious that they have been severely exploited by Sun Fengtian.

"Lord Sun, you have governed Nanling City very well."

Chu Yang's tone was cold, with a hint of sarcasm.

Sun Fengtian was startled, knowing that Chu Yang was trying to warn him, and quickly explained: "Your Highness, please understand. Nanling City is located in a remote area, the land is barren, and the people live in poverty. I..."

"enough!"

Chu Yang interrupted him impatiently, "I don't want to hear your explanation. You just need to remember that Mr. Wang Meng has already made it clear to you when I came to Nanling City this time. I hope you will take care of yourself."

"Yes, yes, I understand."

Sun Fengtian nodded and bowed repeatedly, but he was cursing in his heart.

This Chu Yang is such a difficult person to serve!

The group arrived in front of the City Lord's Mansion. Chu Yang dismounted, threw the reins to the guards behind him, and strode into the mansion.

Sun Fengtian hurriedly followed in and arranged for Chu Yang and others to stay.

"Your Highness, Miss Yang is already waiting in the living room."

Sun Fengtian bowed and said.

"Ah."

Chu Yang nodded, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the living room.

Sun Fengtian followed behind, feeling uneasy, wondering what this moody Seventh Prince would do after seeing Yang Yuhuan.

Passing through a moon-shaped door, Chu Yang walked straight into the living room.

His originally sloppy steps now revealed an innate nobility.

He glanced briefly and saw a woman in an emerald green skirt with her back to him in the hall. She had a graceful figure and long black hair cascading down like a waterfall. Her back alone was enough to make people fascinated.

"Cough cough..."

Sun Fengtian deliberately cleared his throat, breaking the silence in the hall, and said with an apologetic smile, "Your Highness, this is my cousin Yang Yuhuan."

Yang Yuhuan turned around slowly, revealing a delicate and charming face, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her eyes seemed to contain thousands of words.

She bowed towards Chu Yang and spoke softly.

"My humble self, Yang Yuhuan, greets His Majesty the Seventh Prince."

A playful smile appeared on Chu Yang's lips. This Yang Yuhuan was indeed as good as her reputation said. Her appearance and figure were both top-notch.

He nodded in a solemn manner, stood with his hands behind his back, and spoke lightly.

"No gift."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Yang Yuhuan opened her red lips slightly, her voice as clear and pleasant as an oriole.

Seeing this, Sun Fengtian hurriedly called out, "Come here, bring the tea!"

After that, he smiled at Chu Yang and said, "Your Highness, look at this..."

"Lord Sun, there is no need to be so polite. I came here today because I want to talk to Miss Yang alone. Is that convenient?"

Chu Yang interrupted him and stared at Yang Yuhuan with burning eyes.

This sudden request caught Sun Fengtian off guard. He was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at Yang Yuhuan.

Yang Yuhuan's face was calm, and it was hard to tell whether she was happy or angry. She just nodded slightly, which was considered as her agreement.

Seeing this, Sun Fengtian secretly groaned in his heart. This Seventh Prince was indeed not easy to deal with. He had created a difficult problem for him as soon as he arrived.

But now that things have come to this, he can only bite the bullet and agree.
