Another World Da Ming: I use a hundred lives to become holy

Chapter 449: Pinching

"Can't that gentleman come with us?"

"Sister, Lao Wu still needs to continue to treat him. Our carriage and rocking horse are not causing harm to others. Besides, if we continue to stay here, we will also cause chaos to Lao Wu."

"When did you become so considerate?"

The next day, the convoy set off as usual. Wang Ban explored the way forward, while Lao Zhu and the others continued to pretend.

In the carriage, Lao Zhu scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard Queen Ma say this.

"The three storyteller brothers have already agreed..."

In the end he could only think of this excuse.

"I said consider it for Lao Wu."

But who knew that Empress Ma didn't care about his second excuse at all, her face did not change, and she brought the topic back to Zhou Wang Zhu Zhi with a smile.

"we……"

Lao Zhu was really embarrassed at this time, but at the same time he was also relieved, as long as his sister believed it.

"Lao Wu, please go back quickly!"

Taking advantage of this conversation, he quickly reached out of the carriage and waved to Zhou Wang Zhu Xie, finally ending the topic.

"So where do we go next?"

Queen Ma ignored his cover-up actions, or she was also actively changing the topic.

"Go to the border between Nanhe and Xiangyang!"

"I heard that a market spanning thousands of miles has developed at the wharf there."

After discussing the purpose of the trip, Lao Zhu still couldn't relax, but he pretended to be relaxed, and with a smile on his face, he began to tell his sister how good this market was.

"I heard that it's prosperous there, but why did a market with a thousand-mile network develop for no reason?"

"It seems that our Emperor Shengwu is indeed a prosperous king."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

After getting along day and night, how could Lao Zhu and Xiao Jiujiu be able to deceive Queen Ma?

It's just that Lao Zhu has long been used to it, and so has Queen Ma.

……

The road was long and slow. During this period, their convoy finally passed a special place.

"It seems that this time, the group of Zhao family radicals in the prison that day did not secretly cause harm."

From Runing Mansion to Kaifeng and then to Nanhe.

In Runing Mansion, the people praised Shengwu and Zhao Mansion.

In Kaifeng Mansion, the people praised Sheng Wu and the King of Zhou.

Now when we reach Nanhe, the people praise all three.

Lao Zhu felt as if he was relieved, but at the same time, he felt a little disappointed for no reason.

Why do you feel this way?

Lao Zhu always felt like he was missing something.

Looking back at the motorcade, he saw the girls listening to books for fun again. One of the storytellers coughed, and his sister asked Yu'er to hand him some water.

These storytellers are quite loyal.

Looking further into the distance, he seemed to have seen the thousands-mile camp of the market, and the dim sky seemed to be reddened by the excitement below.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the harvest will be back this year. The general has just inspected the surrounding farmland and it has begun to bear fruit normally."

"What I saw in Runing Mansion is not a special case. There are also local officials leading old farmers on night patrols here to check the conditions in the fields."

Erhu finally reciprocated, and was scolded by Lao Zhu with a smile.

"Let's take a look!"

"Yeah!"

"This green ear is strong!"

"Who asked you to pinch the stem! Don't you dig up the roots? Do you know that when this rice plant grows, it may be a bowl of rice! You are not allowed to eat tonight!"

It turned out that Lao Zhu was looking down from the ears. First he was surprised at how solid the ears were, and then he wanted to see if the roots were solid, and he saw a pole.

It's because he didn't make it clear before, but it's definitely not his fault. After all, figuring out the meaning is the basis.

"Yes."

Erhu was confused at first, and then quickly admitted his mistake, sweating.

Naturally, it was not him who pinched the pole. He was personally determining whether there was any difference between Nan He and Runing. After all, this was the most important thing, but the fault was definitely his.

Fortunately, what I brought back was good news.

After Erhu admitted his mistake, he went down to continue his own defense work.

Blowing the wind filtered by the Nanhe River through the farmland, Erhu looked back at the center of the camp from time to time, and his wife Yu'er also looked at him from time to time.

There was no strange feeling in his heart.

But he was different from Emperor Zhu Chongba.

He felt like he knew where this strange feeling was.

Lao Zhu felt that his sister was a little strange, and everything around her seemed a little strange.

Erhu, the same thing.

He also felt that Yu'er seemed to be hiding something from herself, and the concern when they looked at each other was mixed with something else.

It's very strange, ranging from the entire Nanhe Chief Secretary to Nanhe Prefecture.

They went so smoothly.

It went so smoothly that I couldn't even imagine it.

All the unexpected things seemed to be expected.

Including the ignorance of his subordinates just now.

"General! It's all your subordinates' fault that you can't get close to my wife. You should punish your subordinates!"

At this time, Fanzi, the subordinate who had pinched the pole before, came to him through patrol.

Naturally, Erhu would not chill their hearts just because of this ignorance. After all, they had been in the palace for a long time.

He was imprisoned in a sky jail before, but he was finally released because of their efforts.

"You have stayed in the palace for a long time. It is the general who did not warn you in advance, but be careful not to do it again! If you do it again, you might lose your head!"

There still has to be some scolding, and then some relief.

"You are all close to this general, but don't live too comfortably."

"Go to the local hidden stakes and learn more! Find someone you have followed before..."

The moment the breeze blew across his face again, all the chaos in Erhu's head was suddenly blown away.

"Yes! General!"

"General! There is a team coming from behind!"

Just when Erhu realized that his subordinate was moved, the sentry stationed in the distance suddenly reported back.

Erhu quickly straightened up, put all his thoughts aside, and stepped forward with the knife in hand.

"How about being careful?"

"Back to the general, they seem to be villagers who are going to offer sacrifices somewhere ahead."

"Sacrifice at night? Is there any ancestral hall ahead? Why didn't you report it before?"

When Erhu heard this, his brows immediately wrinkled.

There is an ancestral hall in front. Now the emperor and empress are camping near here. Why didn't they report it before? It seems that these subordinates of mine really deserve punishment!

"Return to the general, no."

"After several explorations in the direction we are going, and sentries posted along the way, there is no ancestral hall ahead."

The reported whistle quickly explained.

"No?"

"Then what are these villagers doing?"

Erhu looked around, indeed he could see as far as the eye could see. Except for a few villages and the light of the market farther away, there was nothing else.

So what do these villagers who suddenly appear at night do?

The night wind turned cold, and Erhu felt a sense of solemnity in his heart. The hand holding the handle of the knife subconsciously moved down, and his thumb pushed out the sword in the scabbard.

"Stay alert!"

"A group of people keep their disguises and follow me!"

"Yes!"

Who are this group of people who suddenly appear in the middle of the night, and what are they trying to do?

Erhu glanced back at the tent where the flames had started to turn off and were preparing to rest, and then quietly led the team away.
