The Ordinary Man's Guide to Fast Travel

Chapter 155 The Son is a Villain 24

The madman Zhou Chunxi was lucky and it took him half a year to reach Huangwu City.

It wasn't that he was lucky, but that under Wanqi Xiao's governance and with the help of his cultivation, there were broad official roads connecting all parts of the country.

In addition, the laws are relatively complete, and in many areas people can leave their doors open at night without anyone breaking in.

Zhou Chunxi was talking nonsense all the way, and some officials wanted to rescue him, but they all thought he was a madman.

But whenever these officials were about to take action, Zhou Chunxi would always remain conscious.

Only he himself knows whether he is really crazy or just pretending to be crazy.

He would rather be crazy.

The Zhou family stole the world, but they were unable to govern it better than the Wanqi family.

It is not necessarily better, even though it is extremely difficult to maintain all of this.

His only obsession now is not to see the white dragon in the mountain, but to see the imperial capital of Huangwu City.

If remote areas are so prosperous and peaceful, what is the imperial capital like?

He finally arrived at Huangwu City. The prosperity of this imperial city was beyond Zhou Chunxi's imagination.

The city gate stands majestically, with exquisite dragon patterns carved on it, demonstrating the majesty of the royal family.

On both sides of the city gate, soldiers dressed in iron armor and holding spears watched the pedestrians coming in and out vigilantly.

Walking into the city gate, Zhou Chunxi was first shocked by the wide streets in front of him.

There are shops on both sides of the street, selling a wide variety of goods, from silk, porcelain to jewelry and medicinal materials.

The vendors shouted enthusiastically, trying to attract the attention of passers-by.

Pedestrians shuttled through the streets, some strolling leisurely, while others hurried on their way, forming a vivid picture of the city.

On the streets, various means of transportation such as horse-drawn carriages, ox-drawn carts, and sedan chairs shuttled back and forth, making the streets very busy and bustling.

Zhou Chunxi noticed that the vehicles were driving in an orderly manner without any congestion or chaos.

After asking for directions, I found out that under Wanqi Xiao's governance, the traffic regulations of Huangwu City were strictly enforced, ensuring smooth traffic in the city.

In addition to the bustling commercial district, Huangwu City also has many magnificent buildings.

The palace complex stands tall and majestic, magnificent and golden, demonstrating the royal dignity and authority.

Temples, schools, clinics, etc. are also available, providing convenient services for the people.

Zhou Chunxi walked on the streets of Huangwu City, feeling the prosperity and vitality of this imperial city.

He saw the citizens living and working in peace and contentment, and also saw the brilliant achievements the city had made under Wanqi Xiao's governance.

If Wanqi Xiao was just a prince like him, he would still be jealous.

But looking at Huangwu City developing into this state, he could only feel timid.

With the remaining power of their Zhou family, they can’t win, right?

Even if we fight, we can’t defend it, right?

Zhou Chunxi sat on a stone pier on the street, watching people coming and going, feeling a little confused for a moment.

If he can't do these, what can he do?

"Hey, you can't sit here, you're blocking my way!"

A somewhat hoarse female voice yelled at Zhou Chunxi, and he turned his head to look.

"It's you?"

"It's you?"

The two of them spoke at the same time.

Even if Zhou Chunxi turned into ashes, Su Tianer felt that she would definitely recognize him. The one with the darkest hair must be Zhou Chunxi!

When Wanqi Xiao led his men to attack the imperial city, Zhou Chunxi abandoned her and ran away.

Now she can see him here, he is simply asking her to beat him up!

"I'm going to take you to see the officials. You're a remnant of the previous dynasty. You must be here to be a spy!"

Zhou Chunxi quickly covered her mouth, but people on the street immediately started yelling at him.

"What are you doing? What on earth do you want to do? How can you do this to a woman in the street!"

"Catch him quickly, is he trying to traffic people?"

"What is this person trying to do?"

Zhou Chunxi was quickly caught by the people on the street. He quickly explained: "I am her husband, I am not a human trafficker, and I didn't mean to hit her!"

"You say he is my husband, so he is my husband? Is there anything you can prove it?"

It seemed like he really couldn't produce any proof. He had burned their marriage certificate a long time ago, so where was the proof?

"He is not my husband! I don't have a husband!"

Su Tianer, who was rescued by everyone, screamed loudly.

"Look, he has already said that you are not her husband. You must see the official immediately!"

Zhou Chunxi's expression changed immediately. He looked at Su Tianer with a hint of pleading. In the past, whenever others looked at Su Tianer with this expression, she would soften her heart and forgive everything others did.

If it were in the past, this would be the thing he despised and hated the most, but now, he had to make the same expression.

Su Tian'er is still the same Su Tian'er. When she saw Zhou Chunxi begging like this, she felt a little soft-hearted.

In the past, this was His Royal Highness the Emperor's grandson, who was high and mighty. How could he have such an expression?

"If you don't want to see the official, that's fine. Then tell us why you came to this place?"

Su Tianer still wanted to find some excuses for him. If he went to see the official with his identity, he might be executed.

"I...Tian'er, I missed you! That's why I came all the way to you!"

This sounds very high-sounding, but Su Tianer, such a fool, actually believed it.

The people standing by, like spectators watching the fun, also started to make a noise.

"Are you a former couple? Why are you still in this mood?"

"Lady, if you don't know him, just tell us. If he's lying, we'll send him to the authorities, and the judge will definitely make the decision for you!"

The people have a lot of trust in officials. In their view, officials must be honest and fair.

Su Tianer finally declined everyone's offer to stand up for him. Zhou Chunxi looked so pitiful now, so she decided to wait until they were alone to ask him what happened.

Anyway, the country is safe under Wanqi Xiao's governance, so she is not afraid of anything.

This man...is his ex-husband after all.

After dispersing the crowd, Su Tianer took Zhou Chunxi to her residence.

She lives alone now. After all, she has been married before, and she can't marry an ordinary person.

But if you want to find a better one, you can't find it at all.

Now, there are only a few people in the royal family. She can't marry Wanqi Xiao, nor can she marry Wanqi Fufeng.

Zhou Chunxi looked at the house in front of him.

From the outside, Su Tianer's residence is a quaint courtyard with blue bricks, gray tiles, wooden doors and windows, exuding a faint woody fragrance.

Although the yard is not big, it is exquisitely laid out. There are several pots of green plants in the corners, adding a bit of vitality to this small space.

Walking into the house, Zhou Chunxi saw a simple and tidy one-bedroom and one-living room layout.

This was the first time he had seen this new design, and he guessed that it might have been created by the current Empress Dowager Zhao Yao.

He heard people say on the way that many buildings in Huangwu City were built by this queen mother.

Although the room is not big, every inch of space has been cleverly utilized, making it both comfortable and beautiful.

There is a rectangular wooden table against the wall in the living room, on which are placed a few books and an exquisite porcelain pot.

There is a landscape painting hanging on the wall, with delicate brushwork and profound artistic conception.

There is a comfortable rattan chair in the corner, as if inviting people to sit down and rest.

Through the living room is a bedroom.

The bedroom is also simply and elegantly decorated. A large wooden bed is placed against the wall. The sheets and quilts are plain white, giving people a refreshing feeling.

There are two small wooden cabinets at the head of the bed, on which are placed some daily necessities.

Next to the window is a desk with an oil lamp and a few pages of paper on it. It is obviously where Su Tianer usually reads and writes.

Although the room is not big, every detail reveals the owner's care and taste.

"I didn't expect that you'd be doing well after leaving me."
