Chapter 793 Armored and Sharp

Ning Chen and others stayed in Xiuzhou for about six or seven days.

They ate pancakes and drank mutton soup, climbed Meirong Mountain, a famous mountain in Lingzhou, and went to temple fairs and many interesting places.

Emperor Xuan lived in the deep palace for a long time, and although he held supreme power, these were experiences he had never had before.

After having fun, Ning Chen and others headed to Xiuzhou again.

Xiuzhou is most famous for its embroidery.

But there are also many delicious ones, such as plum blossom cake, crabapple cake, and sugar porridge cake dumplings, all of which are famous.

For the safety of Emperor Xuan and General Chen, Ning Chen booked an inn when he arrived in Xiuzhou.

After a brief rest, Emperor Xuan couldn't hold himself back anymore and asked Ning Chen to take him out for a walk.

The streets were bustling with activity.

As Emperor Xuan walked, he picked up a piece of cake from the oil paper bag and took a bite. It was soft, waxy and sweet.

"It tastes exactly like what I remember!"

Emperor Xuan smiled broadly.

He came to Xiuzhou decades ago, when he was just a prince.

Since leaving the palace, Emperor Xuan has smiled more and more on his face.

Maybe the dragon chair is really a shackles and a restraint to him.

"This noodle dish looks good. I haven't eaten pasta for a few days. Let's all have a bowl."

"Shopkeeper, can I blow this candy by myself?"

"Okay, okay, it's so interesting... I'll reward you!"

Emperor Xuan was curious about everything he saw and wanted to try it out.

At the moment, I was watching the monkey play. I found it interesting and asked Ning Chen to reward him.

Ning Chen took out two copper coins and threw them into the monkey's money box.

Under the control of the monkey charmer, the monkey bowed and thanked Ning Chen and others.

Emperor Xuan felt that the monkey had human nature. If Ning Chen hadn't stopped him, he would have bought the monkey.

"Then give him more reward!"

Ning Chen was speechless, "Master, when you go out, don't expose your wealth.

Although this monkey is cute now, it won't be cute at all when it breaks into your room and steals your money bag while you are asleep! "

Emperor Xuan looked surprised, "Can it still steal things?"

Ning Chen nodded, "I know a monkey who stole a few peaches and was sentenced to five hundred years."

Emperor Xuan was shocked, "Five hundred years? What stupid judge judged this? I want to take off his black gauze hat."

"Uh... it was a matter of the previous dynasty!"

Emperor Xuan nodded slightly, "If it happened in the previous dynasty, it would be normal. The emperor in the previous dynasty was ignorant, hundreds of officials took power, and the people were in dire straits. It is not surprising that a monkey could be sentenced to five hundred years.

Ning Chen, do you know how to be a good emperor? "

Ning Chen said in his heart that I am not the emperor, how could I know? He shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

Emperor Xuan said: "Actually, being a good emperor does not depend on whether you open up new territories...but how your people live? I have always felt that the measure of an emperor is to let the people have enough to eat and live and work in peace and contentment. standard.

An emperor who has no people in his heart is definitely not a good emperor.

The emperor of the previous dynasty was fatuous and officials took power, and the people were almost ready to exchange their sons for food... When Emperor Taizu led his army into the imperial city, the soldiers of the previous dynasty personally opened the city gate to welcome him, and the people lined the streets to welcome him. "

Emperor Xuan smiled from ear to ear when he saw that Daxuan under his rule was so prosperous and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment!

After wandering around for more than two hours, Ning Chen felt a little tired, not to mention Emperor Xuan.

Everyone then returned to the inn to rest!

In the next few days, Emperor Xuan's footprints were left throughout Xiuzhou. They ate all the delicious food in Xiuzhou and visited places of interest.

Next stop, go to Yunzhou.

In fact, it doesn’t take much time to visit each state and county, most of the time is wasted on the road.

But it’s not a waste. There are many beautiful scenery and famous mountains and rivers along the way.

Time flies!

More than four months passed in a flash.

It was already the end of June when I left the capital, and now it's November, and the weather is already very cold.

In more than four months, they have only traveled to three states, because all the time was wasted on the road.

Regarding this matter, they were on their way to Fuzhou.

In fact, five days is enough time to get from Lingzhou to Fuzhou. They have now made a big circle.

...

In the early morning, Ning Chen got out of the tent.

The outside is covered in silver and has long turned into a world of ice and snow.

The sky was gloomy yesterday evening, and snowflakes started to fall in the evening.

Unexpectedly, when I woke up, the world was already covered in silver.

Ning Chen casually pinched a snowball and prepared to use it to hit the first person he saw.

Footsteps sounded!

A white shadow came from behind the tent.

It turned out to be Tantai Qingyue.

"Xiao Danzi, watch your move!"

Ning Chen first smashed the snowball in his hand, and then reminded Tantai Qingyue, this would not be considered a sneak attack!

Tantai Qingyue just raised her wrist, and the snowball she hit disappeared.

Ning Chen then discovered that Tantai Qingyue was holding a bowl in her hand, and she caught the snowball in the bowl.

"What are you doing with a bowl so early in the morning? We're not so poor that we have to beg for food, right?"

Ning Chen joked with a smile.

Tantai Qingyue came over and handed the bowl over.

Ning Chen looked at it and twitched the corners of his mouth. It was a bowl of porridge.

Tantai Qingyue said: "Drink it quickly while it's still warm."

Ning Chen glared at her. This woman clearly did it on purpose. She could have easily avoided the snowball, but she chose to catch it with a bowl. She said angrily: "You can keep it for yourself and drink it."

Tantai Qingyue hesitated for a moment and said, "Go and see General Chen. I think something is wrong with him."

Ning Chen was startled, "What happened to the old general?"

Tan Tai Qing Yue pointed in a direction and said, "When I got up in the morning, I saw General Chen standing over there in armor and holding a sharp weapon. I wonder what he was doing?"

Armored and holding a sharp weapon?

Ning Chen had a bad feeling in his heart and ran in the direction that Tan Tai Qing Yue said.

From a distance, Ning Chen saw General Chen standing on the edge of the cliff in armor and holding a sharp weapon.

Ning Chen's heart was hanging in his throat. Was the old general going to jump off the cliff?

"What's going on?"

Ning Chen asked several veterans who had been taking care of the old general.

Several veterans were so anxious that sweat broke out on their foreheads. They were relieved when they saw Ning Chen.

One of them said in a deep voice, "We don't know either. The old general got up in the morning and said that he missed the days of wearing armor and holding a sharp weapon, so he asked us to put on armor for him...After that, the old general stood there and asked us not to disturb him."

"You wait here, I'll go over and take a look."

Ning Chen approached General Chen with his hands and feet pinched.

General Chen leaned on a spear, looked back, and said with a smile: "What are you doing, little brat?"

Ning Chen scratched his head and laughed dryly: "I'm afraid that the old general will jump down?"

General Chen looked at him speechlessly.

Ning Chen walked over and looked at the armor on the old general. The armor was very old, and the gold paint on it was mottled and covered with knife marks.

"Old general, what is this armor?"

General Chen's eyes were dim: "This is the armor I wore in my last battle... It was also in that battle that I lost a leg and bid farewell to the battlefield.

In fact, I should have died on the battlefield at that time... The best destination for me is to die on the battlefield."
