Chapter 383 On the Road

"He seems to say so." said the master.

"Who else in Qingyuan County is qualified to receive the imperial edict besides me?" County Magistrate Guo frowned.

County Magistrate Guo is the county magistrate of Qingyuan County, the highest-ranking person here. Even if His Majesty the Emperor has any edict to convey, he will only give it to him, and no one else is qualified at all.

But the eunuch just now was clearly rushing to announce the imperial edict, and after announcing the edict to himself, he left impatiently. What's going on?

"Sir, could it be that baron?" said the master after thinking for a while.

"Baron? Who?" County Magistrate Guo asked subconsciously, and then seemed to remember something, and said: "Are you talking about that reckless man Wu Fan?"

"Sir, you are wise." The master said respectfully.

"That man is just a reckless man. What edict can His Majesty convey to him?" County Magistrate Guo did not believe that the eunuch was going to read the imperial edict to Wu Fan.

"Although he is a reckless man, he is also a nobleman." County Magistrate Guo said.

"Just the lowest baron." Magistrate Guo said with contempt, but there was deep envy in his eyes. Even the lowest baron title was not something that everyone could obtain, at least he didn't have it.

"Yes, yes, your Excellency is right." The master didn't dare to say more, for fear of bringing bad luck to Magistrate Guo.

Although Magistrate Guo felt that it was impossible for Wu Fan to receive the imperial edict, he had some doubts in his heart. Moreover, he was very curious about the fact that someone in his territory could receive the imperial edict from His Majesty the Emperor, so he said to the master: "Go and investigate this matter. The eunuch came to read the imperial edict, and it is impossible for him to act secretly. His whereabouts should be easy to investigate. Go and see who received the imperial edict and find out the content of the imperial edict."

"Yes, your Excellency." The master replied. This was indeed not a difficult thing to investigate.

After being busy for a long time, Wu Fan finally prepared everything he wanted to take with him. Because the journey was long, and Luo Yue and Luo Yang were with him, plus he had to carry a lot of things, it was impossible to put everything in the backpack, so he had to put some things on the surface to show his appreciation. Therefore, Wu Fan bought a carriage directly from the grocery store. Then, the three of them set off with the farewell and instructions of Niu Er and others.

"Sir, how far is the imperial capital from us? Are there many people there? Is it fun? What does the emperor look like? There are rumors that he is the reincarnation of the dragon prince. Is it true?" Not long after the three of them set off, Luo Yang couldn't help but ask Wu Fan out of curiosity.

Luo Yang was not very old, and his temperament was the same as Xiao Liu, very lively, but he usually went out to do things alone or with Wang Bing. In order to make himself look more mature and stable, he rarely showed his lively side. Only when he returned to the Hermit Village to see his sister would he show his youthful nature.

Now, there were only him, his sister, and Wu Fan in the carriage. Needless to say, he had a good relationship with his sister, and Wu Fan was usually very kind to him, so he relaxed all of a sudden, just like those lively and active teenagers on Earth.

"Drive your carriage well, why are you talking so much, adults need to rest." Luo Yue scolded her brother in the carriage.

"It's okay, it's normal for children to be curious." Wu Fan, who was sitting next to Luo Yue, smiled and said, "But, Luo Yang, I can't answer your questions, because this is my first time to the imperial capital, and I don't know much about it. If you are curious, wait until you get there and take a good look for yourself."

Wu Fan didn't mind Luo Yang's performance, and even liked this unrestrained feeling. Luo Yue always treated him as a master, which sometimes made Wu Fan a little uncomfortable.

"Sir, how long will we stay in the imperial capital?" Luo Yang was a little bolder when he saw that Wu Fan had no intention of blaming him. As for his sister's scolding, he didn't take it to heart. He knew that his sister loved him the most and scolded him just because she was afraid that he would make Wu Fan unhappy.

"It's hard to say. It depends on what the emperor wants to talk to me about." Wu Fan said. He always felt that the old emperor asked him to come to Beijing not simply to discuss the fiefdom: "But I don't think we will stay too long."

The Hermit Village is undergoing a large-scale development, and the surrounding environment is not very safe. Wu Fan is always worried. After all, the Hermit Village is his base camp in this world, and it must not be lost. What's more, there are so many treasures and resources there, so he naturally can't give it up. Therefore, if there is nothing important in the imperial capital, he doesn't want to stay there for a long time.

"Sir, you have been tired recently. Let me rub your shoulders for you." Luo Yue said to Wu Fan.

"No, I'm fine." Wu Fan said.

"Sir, there's nothing to do in the carriage anyway, so it's always good to massage." Luo Yue insisted.

"This... okay." Wu Fan hesitated for a moment and agreed.

Seeing Wu Fan agreed, Luo Yue sat behind Wu Fan with a happy face, put her hands on Wu Fan's shoulders, and kneaded gently.

"Sir, is it comfortable? Just tell me when the strength is strong." Luo Yue said.

"The strength is just right, very comfortable." Wu Fan said.

Luo Yue's strength was indeed just right, kneading Wu Fan very comfortable, Wu Fan couldn't help but close his eyes and experience it carefully.

Wu Fan found that Luo Yue was really a versatile person, who could play with a big knife, kill the enemy, and do what the maids did. It was a wise choice to bring her around.

The carriage moved forward slowly, Luo Yang was driving the carriage outside, while Wu Fan was enjoying Luo Yue's massage inside the carriage.

When the sun was about to set, Wu Fan and his three companions entered Qingyuan County. The three planned to rest in the mansion in the county for one night and set off again tomorrow morning.

"Sir, you are here." When Wu Fan and his three companions arrived at the mansion, they received the news in advance that Sun Liang, Tang San and others had been waiting early.

"Yes." Wu Fan responded and walked into the mansion.

Compared with what he saw when he left the county last time, the mansion at this time had been cleaned up and renovated, and it had completely lost its original dilapidated atmosphere. The interior was fresh and grand, which made people feel comfortable when they looked at it, and they knew that this place was extraordinary.

It seems that Sun Liang, Zhou San and others have put a lot of effort in the renovation of the mansion.

"How is it here recently?" Wu Fan asked casually as he walked.

"Nothing serious happened. The county government and us basically don't interfere with each other. It's just that the people in the county seem to be a little panicked because of the refugees outside the city." Sun Liang said.

Don't have too much contact with the county government. This is what Wu Fan told Sun Liang and his friends. Wu Fan didn't like County Magistrate Guo and didn't want to have much interaction with him. It just so happened that the other party seemed to have the same idea as him, which also suited Wu Fan's wishes.
