You Are Not In Exile, You Are Clearly Traveling!

Chapter 98 Favorability

When everyone heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and even showed a relaxed smile, not only because of Xie Yunshang's words, but also because of Xie Yunshang's attitude.

 After all, compared with the previous general, Xie Yunshang is much better.

 Not only does he look handsome, but he also has a good attitude.

They really needed to rest. First they went through the riots, and then they were forced to walk for several days and nights by Captain Sun without much rest. Then they experienced the attacks by bandits. At this time, they just wanted to find a place to rest. They were always worried and too tired. .

Seeing that everyone was hungry and thirsty, Xie Yunshang even distributed all the grains escorted by the government officials to everyone so that they could eat enough.

But other government officials did not dare to stop it. After all, it was originally food for prisoners. Even though it was meant to be eaten for a long time, Xie Yunshang used it all at once.

“Master Chen, is this what you eat on weekdays?” Xie Yunshang picked up the hard steamed buns, his face looked a little unsightly, and he felt a little sorry for Master Chen.

"Forehead…"

Mr. Chen touched his nose and felt a little embarrassed to tell him that in fact, they didn't eat this kind of food. They always liked spicy food.

 “Hey, Mr. Chen, you have suffered!”

Xie Yunshang felt guilty when he thought of this. If he had returned to the capital earlier, he might have been able to avoid Master Chen from being framed, and Master Chen would not have to suffer such hardship.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Chen, I will find a way to help you clear your grievances. I will guarantee it with my life!”

"never mind!"

Mr. Chen shook his head and said, "I accept your wishes. Your Majesty has made this matter clear and eloquent, and it cannot be changed. If you want to force the case to be overturned, I am afraid your life will be in danger!"

He actually guessed that Zhang Yiquan could be protected by His Majesty based on the minister behind him. There was obviously someone more important behind him.

 The identity of this person is self-evident.

 So, he knew very well that the identity of that person was so important, and his family was lucky to be alive now. If he thought about overturning the case again, he would probably anger His Majesty.

Not only that, it will also implicate those who want to overturn his verdict and plead for mercy on his behalf.

 “But, Mr. Chen…”

Xie Yunshang was a little anxious, "Mr. Chen, although I have never been to Nanman, it must be as bad as the frontier, or even worse..."

He has seen people who were exiled to the frontier. Many of them died before they reached the border, and even when they reached the frontier, they only had half their lives left.

Even if they still have half a life, they will not be happy when they get there. They will do all the dirty work.

 Laundry, cooking, plowing and farming.

Even when the enemy attacks, they will be used as cannon fodder to consume the enemy's strength.

Even if Xie Yunshang and his father would not mistreat prisoners like this, other soldiers would when they were away, and almost all soldiers believed that these prisoners should be treated like this.

 They were treated almost like prisoners.

 It is precisely because Xie Yunshang knew this that he wanted to avoid Master Chen from having such an experience.

Originally, he thought Master Chen was exiled to the border so that he could secretly take care of him, but who knew that he was actually exiled to the Southern Barbarian region where he had a narrow escape from death.

 This made him more determined to prevent Mr. Chen from being exiled to the Southern Barbarians.

Mr. Chen was deeply moved when he saw that he was thinking about his family so much. He didn't expect that his small act of kindness at that time would turn out to be... This also shows that his efforts to save people at that time were indeed worthwhile.

However, he did not save Xie Yunshang for any reward, and he did not want the innocent person to be implicated by him.

So he vaguely revealed that this matter was not simple, and even speculated on the identity of the person behind it.

Xie Yunshang frowned. No wonder his father said at the time that this matter was not simple, and that the Chen family's exile was the best outcome. At that time, he thought that his father did not want to spend a big price to take action...

Thinking about it now, if his father hinted that other generals would plead for Mr. Chen together, I am afraid that His Majesty would be more determined to get rid of Mr. Chen.

"I understand." He nodded, "I will be careful and will not act rashly until I find a perfect solution."

While a few people were chatting, they had already arrived at Pingyin County.

Xie Yunshang had already sent his men to the county seat to inform the county magistrate, so the county magistrate led his people to greet him at the city gate early.

 After all, the person who came was the famous General Pingwei.

 He is a small county magistrate, and General Pingwei's rank is higher than him by who knows how much, even if it is not a systematic one.

Besides, General Pingwei can inherit the title of Marquis Pingyuan even if he has no military exploits. In the past, he had no place to curry favor with him, but now that he finally met him, how could he not go up and curry favor with him.

So he transferred all the county government officials, opened the city gate, and welcomed General Pingwei.

Xie Yunshang and others saw the county magistrate from afar. Before they even got close, the county magistrate hurried over and saluted Xie Yunshang respectfully.

 “Xiaguan Pingyin County Magistrate Xu Yuan has met General Pingwei!”

 “Mr. Xu, you’re welcome!”

 General Ping Wei also returned the greeting with clasped fists and did not put on any airs.

“General, you’re welcome, just call me by my name!” Magistrate Xu said in fear.

"Master Xu is older than me. How can I call my elder by his first name? If my father hears this, wouldn't he be punished?"

"this…"

  Magistrate Xu’s face was helpless, but he was relieved in his heart. Although it was just a title, his character could be seen.

 Obviously, General Pingwei was easier to talk to than expected, which made Magistrate Xu, who wanted to curry favor with him, immediately overjoyed.

“These people have just experienced a bandit attack, please ask Magistrate Xu to make arrangements!”

  Xie Yunshang did not forget those behind him, and he did not treat them as prisoners.

"No problem!" Magistrate Xu nodded, and General Pingwei spoke. How could he refuse? Even if he couldn't owe him a favor, he could still gain his favor.

 “These are…”

Let his men settle the prisoners, and Magistrate Xu looked at Mr. Chen. After all, he came here with General Pingwei, so he was a little curious about his identity.

“This is Mr. Chen...for some reasons, so...” Xie Yunshang did not say much, but showed respect for Mr. Chen.

When Magistrate Xu saw this, he was a little surprised. He knew that General Pingwei called him "sir" just because of his age.

 But he could see that General Pingwei called him Master Chen not because of his age, but because he really respected him.

 So, this made Magistrate Xu more and more curious about Mr. Chen’s identity.

Looking at him, he is obviously an exiled prisoner. What relationship does he have with General Pingwei?

Could it be that General Pingwei appeared here this time because of him?

 But, didn’t I hear that General Pingwei was just passing by and accidentally saved the team that was attacked by bandits?

 In any case, since General Pingwei respected Lord Chen so much, Magistrate Xu felt that this was an opportunity. As long as he took good care of Lord Chen, he might be able to make General Pingwei have a better impression of him.

 Even if you don’t mention yourself in the future, maybe something happens to you, so after saying a few words, you can help yourself.
