Dynasty Summons: Low-key Hegemony

Chapter 36
Three days later, they passed by another city, Jingze City in Lingjing Mansion. The city lord and various family lords greeted Li Yuan at the city gate.

"Well, this king is only doing it for the common people, but this king feels ashamed of his soldiers. They spent too much on the journey. They have contributed, but this king can't afford to reward them!"

In the city lord's mansion, there were singing and dancing, laughter and laughter. The local city lords and the heads of the families in the city gathered together to congratulate His Royal Highness King Chu on the arrival.

Facing the flattery of the various patriarchs in the lobby, Li Yuan on the right seat showed a very ashamed and worried expression.

The songs are no longer beautiful, and the dances are no longer good.

Hearing what His Royal Highness King Chu said, how could these patriarchs not know what he meant.

The first person to speak was City Lord Jingze on the left seat. He stood up and said respectfully:

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu cares about the common people. We are deeply moved. We have been worried about banditry in the vicinity. I never thought that His Royal Highness, apart from us, has a heart problem. The soldiers under His Royal Highness are teachers of benevolence and righteousness. How can they not be rewarded for meritorious deeds? The official is willing to subsidize His Highness 5 taels." silver!"

Li Yuan quickly took the big fat hand of the city lord of Jingze, and moved:
"City Lord Jingze understands righteousness, this king will definitely tell my father to praise the city lord!"

"Your Highness doesn't have to be like this!" City Master Jingze trembled and said hastily:
"His Royal Highness Chu has a long journey, and it is my dereliction of duty to make His Highness worry about banditry. How can we bother Your Highness with our waiting matters? I would like to add another 5 taels of silver, and a total of 10 taels of silver will be dedicated to Your Highness!"

"The righteousness of the city master!"

Li Yuan shouted.

Immediately, the Patriarch headed by the left immediately stood up and said:
"Thank you His Highness King Chu for suppressing bandits for us, and my family is willing to help Your Highness with 10 taels of silver!"

The head of the family on the right immediately stood up and said:

"His Royal Highness King Chu will take care of us, and my Huang family is willing to help His Highness with 10 taels of silver!"

Soon the Patriarchs behind them gritted their teeth and stood up one by one:
"I am willing to assist His Highness with 9 taels of silver!"

"I am also willing to help His Highness 9 taels of silver!"

"I am willing to assist His Highness with 8 taels of silver!"

…………

"I am willing to help Your Highness with 5000 taels of silver!"

………………

"I am willing to assist His Highness with 6 taels of silver!"

………………

"I am willing to assist His Highness with 5 taels of silver!"

…………

Li Yuan heard that the patriarchs below stood up one by one to help him in the order of their seats, and his depression disappeared, the wine became more fragrant, the song became more pleasant, and the dance became more beautiful.

Li Yuan raised his wine glass and praised everyone:
"I am very pleased to see all the righteous men today!"

Everyone stood up and raised their glasses respectfully:
"It is my honor to have a drink with His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

"Come on, let's play music and dance!"

………………

In the hot scene of singing and dancing in the city lord's mansion, on a large cottage seventy miles away from Jingze City, there has just been a big battle, and it is in a mess.

Many soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, and there was a bandit corpse on the ground.

Chu Qingyan's beautiful face was covered with a layer of plaster, making it look a bit sloppy.

"Report to Second Miss, this cottage is really rich, there are more than 20 taels of silver!"

Qingyan ran quickly and shouted happily to Chu Qingyan.

"Hey, okay, let the soldiers clean up the battlefield and rest for one night, tomorrow we will continue to clean up the cottage!"

When Chu Qingyan heard that she had earned more than 20 taels of silver, her eyes narrowed into crescents, her tender red lips slightly raised, revealing her flawless white teeth.

"Yes!"

Qingyan hurried up the mountain.

"Your Highness, what about these prisoners?"

asked a captain.

"The old way, those who are willing to join us must, and those who don't want to be killed!"

"Yes!"

"Second Miss, this is our next goal."

Qiuya picked up a simple map and pointed to a cottage road a hundred miles away.

"Okay, it will be there tomorrow."

When Chu Qingyan saw that she was going to have another sum of money, her smile deepened.

Hee hee, I didn't expect that, King Chu, Miss Ben has more and more money, and more and more people under her command!
Chu Qingyan turned her head and looked backwards. She hadn't paid attention to Li Yuan for a few days and had been suppressing bandits all the time. She thought that Li Yuan was still camping somewhere.

The next morning, Li Yuan took a group of well-fed soldiers to prepare to leave amidst the warm farewell of the city lord and the heads of various families.

"Thank you for your kindness and generosity, let me take some memories of this king!"

Li Yuan sighed to everyone in Jingze City.

"It's an honor for me to be able to meet with His Highness. I don't know when I will have such an opportunity?" City Master Jingze also sighed.

"That's right, His Majesty's heroic aura fascinates me!"

"I don't know when I will see Your Highness!"

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is wise and mighty......, woohoo!"

A group of patriarchs flattered and patted without money, and some eyes were moist, as if Li Yuan was his father.

These are caring, benevolent and righteous people. Li Yuan showed a sad look, and suddenly felt reluctant to part with them.

"Send you thousands of miles away, there will be a farewell, this king will miss you both!"

"We will miss His Highness too!"

……

"You gentlemen!"

……

"Your Highness!"

…………

Suddenly, a Patriarch was touched and said, "Why don't you stay a few more days, Your Highness!"

Li Yuan's eyes lit up, "Why don't I stay a few more days, don't worry!"

The city gate is quiet!
The eyes of each Patriarch stared at the Patriarch who just said something wrong like the eyes of dead fish.

The patriarch didn't expect Li Yuan to really answer his polite words, he was speechless, and said with a sneer:
"Your Highness understands the righteousness and needs to suppress the bandits. How can we delay?"

"That's right, His Royal Highness King Chu, let's go!"

"Respectfully send off His Royal Highness King Chu!" Patriarchs hurriedly said.

In this way, Li Yuan left in their warm farewell.

On the cottage, Chu Qingyan and the others were also ready to go, and rushed all the way to the next cottage location.

And Li Yuan continued to go to the next city after Zhou Wanting's introduction.

………………

In this way, after ten days in a row, Li Yuan, Chu Qingyan and his party have arrived at the border of Lingyang Mansion.

In the past ten days, Chu Qingyan marched quickly, setting up more than a dozen cottages along the way.

And Li Yuan walked slowly behind. Anyway, every time he arrived in a city, his team would lose one-third, or half of the people from time to time, and there were also the city lord and big dog who greeted him...

Wherever they went, all the local people knew that the king of Chu understood righteousness, was generous and benevolent, and even suppressed a bandit for them.

Some people didn't believe it at first, but they boldly went to the place where they had been robbed by bandits, only to find that the bandits really disappeared!

Then some "bold" people led a group of people to the cottage to have a look, and they found that the cottage was in ruins!
hiss!
His Royal Highness the King of Chu really understands righteousness, and I admire him!
Worship all the way!
