Glory to the ancestors

After Rong Zhen showed the token, they didn't encounter any obstacles along the way, and the two of them walked directly into the southern border all the way.

The southern border is the southernmost edge of the Chu Kingdom, bordering the Yue Kingdom. Since the founding of the country, it has been controlled by Prince Pingnan, a branch of the royal family.

It is like spring all year round, rich in resources, and protected by the Pingnan Army. It has always been one of the most affluent places in the Chu Kingdom.

It can be said that Prince Pingnan was very far-sighted back then.

Rong Zhen and Han Yu walked side by side on the street, and a girl in thin clothes passed by them, smiling.

Han Yu glanced at them, then quickly looked away.

The girls smiled even more.

"Oh, am I ashamed?" Han Yu moved to Rong Zhen's side.

Rong Zhen glanced at him, "The customs in the southern region are rough, and women are so bold and unrestrained, it's normal."

Han Yu nodded reassuringly, "I hope they don't take me seriously."

"Do you think you are handsome, and they still care about you?" Rong Zhen looked at Han Yu with a smile, but he was just joking. Han Yu is not only handsome, but also has a good temperament. Meat's aristocratic sons are all eye-catching.

Han Yu thought that Rong Zhen was serious, so he patted his cheeks with both hands, covered his face and looked at Rong Zhen, "Am I ugly?"

Rong Zhen looked back at him, saw his lips pursed, felt moved, stretched out his finger and pinched the tip of Han Yu's nose, "It's usually ugly."

Han Yu was hit hard, but he cheered up immediately, "A real man doesn't rely on his face to make a living."

Rong Zhen smiled and saw a tavern on the side of the street, so he took Han Yu into it.

"Hey, what do you two want to eat?" The enthusiastic Xiao Er immediately greeted them and took them to sit down.

"First a pot of tea," Rong Zhen ordered, "and then a plate of sauced beef, and we'll see the rest."

"Okay!" Xiao Er replied loudly, and then talked to Rong Zhen, "Are you two from the north?"

Han Yu nodded, "How did you see that?"

"Look at the temperament," Xiaoer smiled happily, "Just the day before yesterday, a large group of officers and soldiers came from the capital, and they also came from the north."

"Did you tell me what you do?" Rong Zhen asked again.

"I don't know, it seems to be the imperial envoys sent by the court again." Xiao Er looked at Rong Zhen, "Why, the young master knows them well?"

"Because we are also from the capital." Rong Zhen nodded.

"That's a coincidence, but they started their journey yesterday, and they headed south. They are going to Pingnan Palace to announce the decree." Xiao Er smiled, "Where are you two?"

"Oh, we heard that there was a disaster in the southern border, so we wanted to see if we could do something to help." Rong Zhen said calmly.

But Han Yu, he didn't think about it at all, he just wondered, did he come here to do this?

"Oh, then you are really good people," Xiaoer sighed, they were already talking a lot in this industry, and when they heard Rongzhen say that, they immediately opened up, "Actually, no one was serious at first. The thing is, there are floods every year, but who knows, this time it is so serious, hundreds of households along the river have been affected, fortunately our prince rescued it in time."

"Prince Pingnan?"

"That's right, our lord really loves the people like a son. He took his head to the disaster area and opened a warehouse to distribute food. It is said that the imperial court didn't even give any money. We are also considered Chu people." Xiao Er said this He sighed again, "Hey, there are two more guests, I'll go and greet them first."

Seeing that Xiao Er ran away again, Rong Zhen felt that he was almost out of breath, "The imperial court allocated 30 taels of silver, and it is all his own credit here."

"What?" Han Yu was afraid that he heard it wrong, "30 taels?"

"That's not it," Rong Zhen exhaled, "It's still in my hands."

"Then why don't the people know about it?"

Rong Zhen smiled helplessly, "You really don't know anything," he was unwilling to explain to Han Yu, "Aren't you hungry after walking for so long?"

"Hungry." Han Yu swallowed when he saw the sauced beef in front of him.

Rong Zhen smiled, "You eat first."

Rong Zhen stood up, "I'll go out and have a look first, I think I saw a seller of candied haws."

"Hey, I like candied haws too!" Han Yu shouted.

Rong Zhen was stunned for a moment, then nodded, he walked out of the tavern, Yun Cang was already waiting for him outside.

"Grandpa, are you coming with us now?" Yun Cang asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry yet," Rong Zhen walked to a hidden place with Yun Cang, "how's the sweet-scented osmanthus?"

"Both young masters are safe."

"That's good, you tell Yang Jin to let him perform all the tricks, and I'll just watch beside him."

"clear."

"Also, let him live in my name when he arrives at Prince Pingnan's Mansion. I have my own way to see him."

"Okay," Yun Cang asked again, "Then me?"

"You still protect them both," Rong Zhen looked at him seriously, "they are more important than me."

Yun Cang lowered his head, "Understood, but my lord, I have already arranged some people to follow you, and they will never reveal their whereabouts. If you need anything, just call."

"I'm afraid you guys can't beat Han Yu alone?" Rong Zhen glanced at him, and secretly complained about his previous negligence.

Yun Cang didn't answer any more, just lowered his head.

"I don't blame you." Rong Zhen raised his eyes, "It's good that you didn't lose Yang Jin and the others."

It was even more unpleasant for Yun Cang to hear this.

"Where is Chuxi, what happened in the capital?"

"Chu Xi said in his last letter that Su Tang has been promoted to the Ministry of War according to your instructions, and now he is getting along well with the officials of the Ministry of War."

"Very good, he is a smart man, he should be able to understand my intentions, and it is a good thing for him to gain a firm foothold in the Ministry of War." Rong really wanted to speak, when a candied haws seller passed by him, "Wait a minute."

Yun Cang looked at him suspiciously.

Rong Zhen bought a bunch of candied haws, put them in his hands, and then said seriously, "Everything I ordered must be carried out exactly, understand?"

But Yun Cang couldn't be serious, he just felt that Rong Zhen's way of giving orders with candied haws was indescribably funny, so he lowered his head tightly.

"Okay, let's go."

These words were a kind of relief to Yun Cang, he disappeared immediately in a blink of an eye.

Only Rong Zhen walked back to Han Yu with this candied haws, and shook his head helplessly at Han Yu's face smiling like the sun.
