Chapter 121 Retrace the Difficult Road!
Xu Miaoyun crawled on Zhu Di's chest with a smile, tapped the corner of Zhu Di's lips with her index finger, and said softly, "Let me cook you a meal today, okay?"

This trip has been going back and forth for at least two months, and I'm afraid I won't be able to return until the end of November.

She wants to cook a meal herself.

Let Shiro eat the meal she made, and then set off.

Zhu Di held Xu Miaoyun's hand and said with a smile, "Let me do it. What if you smell smoke and vomit?"

Last night, I insisted on pulling him and washing his hair.

At this rate, he doesn't even want to leave.

"You help me cook the stove, and I will do it. The breakfast in the morning is light, and I won't vomit."

Seeing Xu Miaoyun's stubborn eyes, Zhu Di smiled and said, "Okay, let's get up!"

At the same time as the voice sounded, she hugged Xu Miaoyun and sat up.

Afterwards, he helped to cook the stove and Miao Yun cooked.

After a breakfast.

Xu Miaoyun came to the small table.

Wanting to open the bag and check it again, Zhu Di stretched out his hand to hold it down, and said with a smile: "Last night, you checked it several times, and you brought everything you need."

As he spoke, he picked up the man and placed him on the small table.

"Shiro..."

Uncle Ba's shout came from outside, Xu Miaoyun knew that she was about to leave, she put her arms around Zhu Di's neck, her legs tightly wrapped around Zhu Di's waist...

The kiss ends.

The two foreheads touched each other.

Zhu Di looked at Xu Miaoyun, who was blushing and panting, and joked with a smile: "In the past five days, I will change five inner linings, and when the ones I wear don't smell like me, if you feel uncomfortable, you can only smell the shoes."

puff!
Xu Miaoyun was immediately amused, and the mood of parting also eased a little.

Hugging Zhu Di tightly, he whispered: "Come back safely, my child and I are waiting for you at home."

Me and my child are waiting for you at home...

"Ok!"

Zhu Di smiled and nodded emphatically. In this era, these words gave him the most sense of belonging.

After talking, let go, smiled and straightened Xu Miaoyun's clothes, and her messy hair, and continued to joke: "Take care this time, don't be like last time, I heard from Eighth Aunt and the others that you didn't put on your shoes last time, I stepped on the heels of my shoes and ran out..."

"Don't say it!" Xu Miaoyun blushed and smiled coquettishly.

Can't help but think of the scene where she chased Zhu Di out when Zhu Di went to Jiangning County to serve in corvee last time.

Aunts, until now, they still make fun of her with this incident!
Zhu Di packed his burden and dry food for the road, walked to the wall, and carried the bow and quiver he had won from Sapphire on his back.

As for the sword, forget it.

Just hang it at home.

Many people know Sapphire's sword.

Take it out and use it, that is to tear off the face of sapphire directly, throw it on the ground and rub it.

As a human being, one cannot be without sharpness.

But you must not be like Sapphire, who is full of sharpness all the time.

It is the same principle to be a man and a sword with a sheath. When needed, show your edge, and hide it in the sheath to raise your edge on weekdays.It's a pity that Lan Yu works with swordsmen every day, but she doesn't understand this truth.

This kind of person can be famous for a while by chance and ability. If he can't wake up and make changes, he will definitely be in great trouble.

Before going out, Zhu Di turned around and exhorted: "You must take care of yourself, don't worry about me, I will definitely take care of yourself."

"Yeah." Xu Miaoyun controlled, and she was so sad that Shiro was worried about leaving before she left. She smiled and said, "Huizu went home yesterday, and I will come with Miaoyin today." , and the aunt in the village, with so many people, I will take care of myself."

Only then did Zhu Di open the door with confidence.

The courtyard was full of people.

Uncle Ba and the others.

Sending off aunts.

And the kids.

Bringing Miao Yun to the outside of the courtyard, Zhu Di smiled and said, "Aunt Eight, I'll leave it to you guys."

"Do not worry."

"Yes, Shiro, just put your mind at ease!"

……

Zhu Di looked at the children, "Don't be naughty, master will definitely bring everyone back safely."

Speak a few words with everyone.

Zhu Di turned his head and smiled at Ba Shu, "Ba Shu, let's go."

"Let's go!"

Uncle Eight yelled.

A group of big men, under the watchful eyes of old people, women, and children, set off...

When everyone was far away, a group of old people, women, and children seeing off could no longer bear it anymore and shouted loudly.

"My child's father, your health is important, don't ignore your health just to save money!"

"Lao Ba Yang, come back alive for my mother!"

"father……"

……

Zhu Di and the others turned around... Everyone seemed to be one person, smiling and waving as they walked forward.

Perhaps this is the commonality of being a man.

Leave the smile to the family and let them feel at ease.

……

When it was getting dark, we went to Jiangning County.

Jiang Jinzhong and Zhou Lang were already waiting outside the county seat by the official road.

After meeting, Zhou Lang said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu, I beg your lord to send me to go out with Mr. Zhu to experience the market. From birth to now, the farthest place I have been to is Jinling City not long ago."

The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion issued a corvee call-up order for military purposes.

The local government must send officials to accompany them.

Responsible for management.

If something goes wrong, the local government must first be held accountable.

This kind of errand, generally no one likes to do it.

Lu Yuan didn't say anything.

This time there are risks.

Jiang Jinzhong said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu, Zhou Lang really requested it. I also think he is the most suitable. Tuqiao Village is his parcel, and he gets along well with the folks in Tuqiao Village..."

Zhu Di looked at Zhou Lang and said with a smile, "Okay, then we'll set off. The time is a bit rushed, and we have to walk for a while at night."

"No problem!" Seeing that Zhu Di agreed, Zhou Lang immediately patted his chest with a smile.

Zhu Di and his party wiped the black and continued on their way.

Jiang Jinzhong shouted at the back, "Mr. Zhu, have a good trip!"

After the person walked away, he let go of the waving hand.

An old man in a Confucian shirt beside him murmured, "Young master, is Zhou Lang crazy? He is scrambling to go."

Jiang Jinzhong turned his head and glanced.

This old man is from Yuanzhi, his family, and he just came to Jiangning not long ago.

The examination began in the Yuan Dynasty and has been taking examinations. In the early years of Hongwu, it was only in the examination of scholar.

Not even him.

The family business has been ruined, and a new dynasty is established, and the land is distributed, but this old family member is unwilling to farm the land.

The fields are rented out, and the tenants cannot support a large family.

The scene has passed and the ground is fragmented.

The old father arranged for someone to come to him when he asked for it at home, and he would serve as an assistant to him, so as to make use of his spare heat, and his family would spend some money to help them live.

"You are always wrong!" Jiang Jinzhong said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu is not an ordinary person, Zhou Lang's choice is very correct."

"I dare to leave my words here. Going out this trip and gaining knowledge with Mr. Zhu will definitely benefit Zhou Lang a lot in the future!"

"The group of idiots in the county government usually want to curry favor with Mr. Zhu. Now they are afraid of the risk, so they dare not go. There is an old saying in our hometown, the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish! Look, these people In the future, they will become worse and worse than Zhou Lang, maybe, one day, when they see Zhou Lang, they will still have to smile, please!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help sneering.

First of all, a friend in need is a friend indeed.

Just relying on Zhou Lang's scrambling to go, Mr. Zhu will remember it in his heart.

Second, this trip is risky.

But for a group of ordinary people who wander around Jiangning without much knowledge, this trip is the best learning opportunity!

read more, walk more.

Alone, after traveling thousands of miles.

Even if you are illiterate, your ability will become stronger!
This is the wisdom written by ancestors in books and left to future generations!
In the past, Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was only as knowledgeable as Zhou Lang, and his official position was no more than the head of the pavilion. Speaking of it, he was not as good as Zhou Lang.

Why, such a person can become the final winner at the end of Qin.

Cultivated by the First Emperor!

At that time, the head of the pavilion had a task, which was to take the servants on long trips frequently.

These experiences had a profound impact on Gao Zu in the future.

If he is a pavilion chief without these previous experiences, even if he raises troops, he is at best a short-sighted Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.

……

The tenth day, the third watch.

The curfew is not over yet.

A group of people, wearing stars and wearing moons, are rushing on the road.

"Fourth brother, look quickly, there is a fire ahead, and the outline of the city wall, have you arrived at Jinling City?" At a certain moment, a sharp-eyed young man pointed to the front and shouted.

Everyone stopped and looked around.

Zhu Di observed for a while, then observed the surrounding terrain, and said with a smile: "We're here, everyone, let's rest here. It's not safe for a group of us to approach the city wall rashly during the curfew."

The defenders of the city, in this case, have the right to attack regardless of indiscriminate.

call!
"It's finally here!"

"worn out!"

……

Everyone discussed and sat down on the side of the road.

When Jiangning County was serving corvee, he dared to pinch him.

The edict of the Five Armies Commander's Mansion.

Zhu Di didn't dare to take the folks to do this.

Military law is ruthless!

If you take a breath late, the generals may kill people and sacrifice the flag to warn others.

Soon, the snoring sounded loudly.

Zhou Lang unscrewed the water bag and handed it to Zhu Di, "Mr. Zhu, I told the general manager that day that when we arrived at Jinling City, people from the county government and the village leaders should report to the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army."

"Okay." Zhu Di took a sip and handed the water bag to Zhou Lang, "Tomorrow morning, I will go to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies with you."

"Take the time to rest."

Zhou Lang nodded, and soon, the two also fell asleep.

……

They were not awakened until a horse and horse passed by on the road.

When he came to the gate of the city, Zhu Di looked at the crowd and said, "If you want to visit Jinling City, you can go in and take a stroll, but you must gather here before noon."

"Remember, Jinling City is no different than Jiangning County, where many dignitaries and dignitaries live."

"On the street, you must walk along..."

Zhu Di instructed carefully.

He knew very well that in Jinling City, there were a lot of people riding horses, and some of them would even rampage on the streets.

"Shiro, don't worry, I will take care of everyone."

Zhu Di smiled and nodded to Uncle Ba. Uncle Ba had seen a lot of markets, and Uncle Ba was there, which really reassured him a lot.

Then, a group of people entered the city.

Zhu Di and Zhou Lang went to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

……

Royal Palace.

Ending early.

Zhu Biao returned to the East Palace. As soon as he entered the study, Fang Xiaoru stepped forward to remind him, "Your Highness, Zhu Silang brought the villagers of Tuqiao Village to Jinling this morning."

"The fourth child is already here?" Zhu Biao just sat down, and when he heard about it, he got up in surprise.

As he said that, he walked out, and ordered as he walked: "Is the chicken, duck and fish you prepared ready?"

"Ready."

"Then you guys, just wait outside."

Fang Xiaoru walked a few steps quickly, caught up with Zhu Biao, and smiled wryly, "Your Highness, I won't go if I don't. The last time I ran to Tuqiao Village..."

Well, he was a little apprehensive.

After all, he ate other people's meals and cheated them.

This is the most unethical thing he has ever done.

In case King Yan is narrow-minded, remember?
(Zhu Di: I have a big heart, but I wrote it down in a notebook for you.)
Zhu Biao stopped in his tracks and said with a smile, "I met the fourth child today. If I have a chance, I'll make peace with you."

After saying that, Zhu Biao left with a smile.

"How do I feel, Your Highness is a little gloating." Fang Xiaoru stared suspiciously at Zhu Biao's back, no matter what, he felt that Zhu Biao's smile when he left was just gloating.

Zhu Biao went straight to Princess Chang's bedroom.

After getting started, he happily urged: "The fourth child is here, are you ready?"

Mrs. Chang came out from the inner hall, wearing a practice outfit, and asked with a smile: "With such a big fanfare, will the people of Tuqiao Village be aware of the clues?"

"We are condolences to the people who have been conscripted this time in the capacity of the crown prince and princess concubine. It's just a matter of seeing the fourth child." Zhu Biao corrected.

Chang's eyes rolled with a smile.

The husband has been the prince for several years.

This time, it was the first time that power was used for personal gain.

……

Outside the Yamen of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

A group of people gathered.

They are all representatives of corvee villages and county government recruited this time.

Those who are acquainted with each other get together and discuss in a low voice.

Their identities are not qualified to enter inside.

Three poles in the sun.

There was only one small official, full of lordship, who walked out slowly, and with the cooperation of several soldiers, he pasted the notice on the wall.

Turning around, he glanced at Zhu Di and the others in full swing, "Listen up, my lord will only speak once!"

"First of all, start tomorrow. Today you rest next to the camp of the Gyeonggi garrison outside the city. There is an empty camp over there."

……

"Tuqiao Village!"

"Wang Zhuang!"

……

Zhu Di, Zhou Lang and the village leaders who were named stood up.

The little official took out a document and said coldly: "You are going to escort a batch of military equipment, food and grass to the outside of the pass. The itinerary is: Yuguan, Lingbi, Baihegou, Dongchang, Dezhou, Jinan..."

Zhu Di was taken aback when he heard these place names...

The little official said something later, but he didn't hear it.

"Mr. Zhu." Zhou Lang pulled Zhu Di.

Zhu Di regained his senses.

"Mr. Zhu, our routes are allotted, we can go now."

Only then did Zhu Di hear that the clerk had already begun to announce other routes to Shanxi and Shaanxi.

"Let's go." After saying that, Zhu Di turned around and walked out.

Zhou Lang was puzzled when he saw Zhu Di was in a daze again, and worriedly asked: "Mr. Zhu, is there something wrong?"

what?
Zhu Di regained his senses and shook his head, "No, there's nothing wrong, I'm thinking about other things."

After all, he tried his best to cheer up.

The route announced by the clerk, from Beiping to Jinling City, is highly similar to the Jingnan route he is familiar with.

Almost exactly the same!
Take the difficult road again?
The "he" in history walked this road from Beiping, bleeding all the way, and entered Jinling City.

Now starting from Jinling, going north along the same road?

This historical coincidence shocked him.

'Historically,' I've traveled from Beiping to Jinling. This road was originally the official road, and it was the shortest road. Now it is reasonable for the imperial court to choose this road for transporting grain, grass and ordnance. '

Soon, Zhu Di used his military common sense to convince himself: This is not some kind of divine will.

call!
Zhou Lang had been observing secretly, seeing that Zhu Di had returned to his usual calm and self-confidence. Although he didn't understand what happened just now, he was relieved.
