Chapter 176
Mrs. Zhou likes mountains and fields, so her house is located in the suburbs, far away from the imperial palace.

Jiang Baoyu and the others' carriage walked for more than half a day before entering the main city area and on Shendu Avenue, but it stopped at the intersection.

"what happened?"

Mu Gui asked the coachman, and Jiang Baoyu couldn't help but open the window and look out.

I saw a large group of people blocking the front, and they were all heads. From Jiang Baoyu's height, he couldn't see clearly what happened on the main street.

Fortunately, the coachman saw clearly.

"My lord, the general is returning to court, and the streets are under martial law now."

Hearing this, Jiang Baoyu couldn't help but lifted the curtain of the carriage door and poked his head out, standing on the carriage board to watch the crowd.

I saw the sound of golden drums, roaring artillery fire, rows of brocade clothes, and bright flower hats.

Surrounded by the left and right chiefs, with swords, halberds and spears, a large group of people marched on the street.

In the middle of the team, two generals at the front and rear each escorted an eight-carried sedan chair with a golden roof, yellow cover and red curtain.

Because the curtain is rolled up, the people on the sedan chair can be seen at a glance.

That face of a playboy who almost fascinated the noble ladies of God City 20 years ago is still unabated, who else is Cui Baoyu's father?
Jiang Baoyu was not familiar with General Cui, but when she was a child, Uncle Yongfu often went to Cui's house, and occasionally took her with him a few times, that's how she and Cui Baoyu got to know each other.

Jiang Baoyu was very happy to see General Cui come back safely.

After all, General Cui is very powerful, and I am still alive, so it is impossible for Cui Baoyu, the only three-generation child of his family, to make any mistakes.

In the dark, she still misses Cui Baoyu a little bit, but they are far away now, and there is no way to catch a soldier to inquire about Cui Baoyu.

But she wasn't worried, even if she didn't ask, Yu Menglong and Qin Zilan would find a chance to tell her.

Qin Zilan passed the imperial examination back then, followed in his father's footsteps and entered the Imperial Academy, and now he is also a sixth-rank imperial servant.

In recent months, he has started to be responsible for the homework of the princes and princesses, but he can often be seen in the palace.

Thinking of this, Jiang Baoyu couldn't help feeling sorry for someone.

A dignified number one scholar in the same period, with a higher starting point than anyone else, was sent to Guangling to repair canals for three years. He was a talented man, but when he came back, the emperor punished him instead of rewarding him, and sent him to the military department that was most unsuitable for him.

What's more, he was only given the official position of Yuanwailang, who was lower than Qin Zilan, from the sixth rank.

Being a brother-in-law to the emperor really didn't bring any benefits.

I don't know if Shui Hanzhou will regret it when he thinks of the young man who gave up the easy job of reviewing in the Imperial Academy and went south to Guangling to do coolies without hesitation?

Jiang Baoyu was contemplating himself, but suddenly he heard the anger of a book boy beside him.

"How bold! The golden-roofed sedan chair is clearly reserved for the emperor, and the general is only a second-rank town army general, not even a prince. How dare you use the golden-topped sedan chair?"

Zhitong's words awakened Jiang Baoyu, and made her subconsciously look at the sedan chair that General Cui was sitting on. It was indeed a golden roof, but it was not quite the same as the emperor's golden roof.

Immediately, someone pulled the bookboy aside and blocked his mouth.

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't know! It's an orange roof, not a golden roof. The general contributed a lot to guarding Yanmen Pass. The emperor personally gave him an orange roof to drive a sedan chair to show his glory."

"Even if there is no problem with the golden roof, is it okay for eight people to carry the sedan chair? Officials above the third rank can only take a sedan chair carried by four people in the capital, and only eight people can carry it when they go out of Beijing. Only nobles can take it, is this also the emperor's license?"

"Naturally, it is the emperor's dispensation."

Immediately, another person explained: "The general was going to come back on horseback, but the emperor thought that he was injured and was afraid that the sedan chair would be unstable and would aggravate the injury, so he specially sent four more people to help the general carry the sedan chair."

As the man said, he pointed to the four bearers under the sedan chair who were obviously dressed differently from the others, and said, "Did you see that? Those four people were specially sent by the emperor, and I heard that they are still the imperial bearers."

When the people around heard this, they all felt the greatness of the emperor's grace, and marveled at the great general's grace.

"The Cui family deserves to be a meritorious service in the founding of the country, and now the Dingguo government can't compete with the Cui family, right?"

Hearing this, Jiang Baoyu frowned, feeling that there was no need to continue listening, so he shrank back into the carriage and sat down again.

"Ready?" Mu Gui asked with a faint smile.

Jiang Baoyu subconsciously nodded, fearing that she might misunderstand, he hurriedly explained: "I don't want to watch the fun, but the son of the general's family is my friend—"

"You don't have to explain this to me."

As Mu Gui said, he couldn't help turning his head to look at Jiang Baoyu. Seeing that her face was still calm, he kindly reminded him: "But since you are friends with Young Master Cui, why don't you find a chance to remind him that you are too sharp. It's not a good thing."

Mu Gui's intuition was always accurate, and Jiang Baoyu couldn't ignore it. He looked at Mu Gui and asked, "Your Excellency is talking about the golden chariot and bearers? I also listened to it just now, and said it was authorized by the emperor."

"Can the emperor give permission to do things that exceed the rules? That is, he, Cui Youxiong, any civil official in Dayan would not dare to follow the order and show off in public like this."

Mu Gui's words awakened Jiang Baoyu.

She had heard about the insidiousness of Emperor Zha from herself.

Suspicion is so heavy that even his own wife and children will not be spared, so how can he be so indulgent to General Cui who has no blood relationship?

It's nothing more than that this person still has value.

Thinking about it this way, the emperor personally went to the hunting mountain to hunt bears for General Cui a few days ago, which is clearly the rhythm of killing.

But Jiang Baoyu felt that it was not so easy for the Emperor Zha to deal with General Cui.

Although she is not familiar with General Cui, she has heard about the heroic deeds of General Cui from Cui Baoyu.

Don't look at her, Cui Baoyu, and Yu Menglong, who have been invincible in the God City in recent years, known as the top circle of the God City.

In fact, it was just General Cui and the rest of the tricks they played back then.

The great general was one of the top leaders in the dude circle back then, the kind of existence that the emperor wanted to play with him, but he didn't even bother to look at him.

For so many years, there was only one person who made the general suffer. Although Cui Baoyu would change the topic every time he talked about this person, there was this person anyway.

I heard that the reason why General Cui fought so hard was all because of his encouragement.

Every time he suffered a loss from this person, the general would lead his troops to the frontier to beat the people of Zhao to vent his anger, and after winning the battle, he would come back to suffer, so he led his troops to fight Zhao to vent his anger, and so on.

Now his rank from the second-rank town army's general is not hidden by his ancestors at all, it is all earned bit by bit by his own ability on the battlefield with real swords and guns.

"My old man said, I don't even want to be in his favor. If I want to enjoy his blessings, I have to suffer from him first!"

Every time Cui Baoyu said this, his eyes were shining brightly, with a look of admiration.

When Jiang Baoyu thought of this, he secretly rejoiced in his heart.

Good luck, Emperor Zha!
