Because they spent so much ti persuading Gu Ruxue it was already after lunch when they set off.
Li County was not located very far away, but it took them more than four hours to arrive at the outskirts of the capital and for them to have everything well arranged in Li County.
Junyi was riding on the wagon while he tried to calm himself down so that he would feel better.
As long as everything worked out well.
It was just a matter of ti before the Heir took the throne. When he completed the goal of being the strategist of the King, he would have nothing to worry about any more.
That was what Junyi was planning inwardly as the wagon continued forward…
It went straight into Li County after passing the border.
Li County was located close to the capital, so even though it was not that prosperous, it was still not a very poor place.
Due to the large casualty that happened at Li Village of Li County, every door was closed and few people were seen on the street. They were all scared.
However, whenever they passed by a street, so guard would announce the Heir’s arrival.
The announcent was said in a very loud voice and it echoed across Li County.
Zhou Huailing was very satisfied so he lifted the curtain as he said to Junyi, “Junyi, you are smart enough to have co up with such an idea of announcing my arrival. Now all the households inside the town will know about my brave arrival.”
“…”
“It is good that Pri Minister Chu isn’t here yet,” Zhou Huailing said proudly.
Junyi nodded with a smile. He actually did not think that the Heir should claim all the achievents of dealing with Li County, but for so reason, after the Heir heard about acquiring so of the civilians’ support, the Heir insisted that he wanted to be the only person who made the achievents.
He was feeling very helpless, but he had to leave it like that, since he failed to persuade him to do anything else.
Junyi laughed with a look of helplessness.
Hopefully, Pri Minister Chu would make a clear judgent rather than get affected by what happened at this mont.

When they arrived at the governntal office of Li County, it was still very early.
However, there were many officers waiting outside the gate to greet the Heir. Almost all the officers, together with their families, were out to greet the Heir’s arrival.
When Zhou Huailing got out of the wagon and saw the scene in front of him, he nodded with satisfaction. The officers of Li County did consider him soone important.
He showed a good smile on his face.
He patted the officers’ shoulders as he got off the wagon. He said, “Good.”
Having said this, he was about to walk into the building.
Seeing that the Heir was walking in, Junyi thought that the Heir was just keeping Princess Consort company until her room before he would co out again. So he said, “Heir, I will wait for you here, please co out as soon as possible after you see the Princess Consort off inside. Li Village is not very close, but hopefully we can arrive there before it turns dark and get everything arranged properly.”
Zhou Huailing looked at Junyi with a look of confusion.
He frowned. “Junyi, we are here for Li County, so we are staying at the office, not in the village, right?”
Junyi’s face changed. He reminded him with a small whisper. “Heir, we need to convince the civilians!”
Zhou Huailing gave an indifferent laugh. “Junyi…”
