It's not a big deal for a prince to flirt with women, provided he can come back alive.
"General," Yu Xinou hesitated.
He suddenly changed the subject, "Have you heard that Misty County has been a lot more lively recently?"
"It's inexplicable," Lu Fuhai was a little absent-minded and scolded him angrily, "Just say what you want to say!"
Mist County is so far away from Baekje. He has been busy looking for Chen Xiuzhu and he doesn't have clairvoyance and ears. How can he know what's going on there?
"This general is thinking about how to capture Dongjing Island, and I have no intention of playing riddles with you here."
"Yes!" Yu Xinou nodded quickly.
"General, I heard that the north-south post road in Misty County will be opened soon. It will connect to Qingshi County, which is rich in iron ore."
"So?" Lu Fuhai was confused and couldn't react for a while, "What does this have to do with our East China Sea barrier?"
cough.
Yu Xinou coughed and had to speak more clearly.
"General, when His Highness King Qi's reputation rose in the past, many civil servants and military generals secretly attached themselves to him."
"No matter what His Majesty wants to do, someone will always speak for him or help him; even if he accidentally makes a mistake, someone will intercede for him in front of His Majesty or take responsibility for him."
Lu Fuhai nodded.
When Yu Xin'ou saw that the general had listened, he couldn't help but feel refreshed.
"Now His Highness is neither alive nor dead, and this has been going on for several months. Those important ministers have long been disheartened. Even in such an important place as Qingshi County, no one is running errands for His Highness to ask for directions."
"My subordinates have received news that the people entering and leaving the Laiwu County Sheriff's Mansion now are people from other princes or princes. As for His Highness Prince Qi, except for his maternal ancestors, there is basically no one left."
Yu Xinou stopped talking and said no more.
well.
After Lu Fuhai heard this, his heart felt cold.
As the saying goes, a good horse never turns back, and a good bow never turns back.
Even if Chen Xiuzhu can be found safely in time, the situation in Yunchui will be very different. Those civilian and military generals who turned around and left were unlikely to turn around and return to his side.
Of course, even if they wanted to turn back, Chen Xiuzhu probably wouldn't dare to believe them anymore.
"Your Highness, are you alive or dead? Where are you now?" Lu Fuhai looked at the sky and muttered to himself.
————
Two hundred miles north of the capital of Baekje.
Pingtuo Village.
Chen Xiuzhu was wearing shabby clothes and was hoeing the ground with a stone hoe.
The muddy water had splashed all over his head and face, and his palms were heavily calloused.
However, Chen Xiuzhu didn't seem to notice all this and was still working hard.
Because if he doesn't work more while the weather is warm, once it snows heavily, his family may freeze to death in this deserted village.
It's just that this land is barren and there are a lot of rocks in it, so it's not easy to hoe.
Chen Xiuzhu had been hoeing for a long time, but he didn't open much area. However, his hands and feet were already weak and he had to stop and rest.
Whoosh.
He panted heavily while looking around at this remote village.
"Pingtuo Village!"
Chen Xiuzhu does not understand Baekje.
He just repeated the name of the village from the villagers' mouth, without knowing the meaning of the name.
Pingda actually means the corner of the mountain in Baekje language.
How did you get here?
Chen Xiuzhu was a little distracted.
At the end of July, it was stormy throughout Baekje.
He was hiding in the boudoir of a girl in Baekje Royal City, holding the beauty, listening to the sound of rain, drinking wine, and living a leisurely and sweet life.
I don't know why, but the sound of howling wind and rain suddenly made a particularly clear "cha ke" sound.
There was a corridor outside the girl's boudoir, and one of the withered flowers had its corner bent by the wind and flew towards the young couple.
Chen Xiuzhu has learned martial arts. Although his martial arts skills are not very high, it is still not a problem to avoid such attacks.
But now that he was drunk and still holding the delicate girl in his arms, he didn't react.
boom!
A dull voice sounded.
He raised his horn and smashed the two people who were making love under the window.
Nima.
Chen Xiuzhu cursed.
Before he passed out, he only saw the earth in front of him turning upside down, and he fell headlong into the small lake outside the girl's boudoir.
When he woke up, he found that his whole body was sore and his back was aching, and he was floating forward with the rushing water.
The surrounding area is no longer the girl's boudoir, or even the capital of Baekje, but a strange mountain forest.
Chen Xiuzhu finally touched a dead tree and finally stopped.
After waiting for a long time, he finally saw an old farmer cutting wood rushing on his way in the wind and rain, and quickly called for help.
The old farmer was a kind man. When he saw that Chen Xiuzhu was seriously injured and had severe cold, he fished him out of the water and took him home.
"Excuse me, old man," Chen Xiuzhu asked whenever he woke up, "where is this place? How far is it from the capital of Baekje? How should I get there?"
It's just that as a member of the Yunchui royal family, he naturally doesn't know how to learn the language of barbarian tribes like Baekje.
The old farmer named Guan Dashan had been digging land near the village all his life. He had never left Pingtuo Village and he couldn't understand Yun Chui's language.
The two of them were at odds with each other, trying their best to figure things out, but they still couldn't communicate.
In the end, Chen Xiuzhu had no choice but to give up.
Less than half a month later, when the storm subsided, he could finally get out of bed and walk around.
Although his body had not fully recovered, Chen Xiuzhu knew that his disappearance would definitely cause an uproar, so he quickly thanked Guan Dashan and his family of three and said goodbye.
But no matter which direction he chose after leaving the village, there seemed to be no way.
And not long after walking, you can hear the roar of wild beasts in the mountains, and even see venomous snakes swimming in the woods.
Chen Xiuzhu cherished his life and had no choice but to retreat.
"This young master," Guan Dashan comforted him, "you have no way to guide you, and you can't walk if you can't walk. If you are caught by the government, you will be thrown into prison, or you will be beheaded as a spy of the Japanese pirates."
"Why don't you stay and help us grow food first."
"When the grain is ripe, the landlord will send his henchmen to collect the rent. Although they are hated by everyone, they have traveled far and wide and have seen a lot. Maybe someone can understand your language. When the time comes, ask them to take you there and you will go. That’s the place.”
His daughter Guan Xiaocao was even more delighted.
Pingtuo Village is too small and the environment is remote and closed.
This is the first time the girl has met a man from outside the village when she has grown up.
Except for Chen Xiulan, the fat man, all the men of the Chen royal family are handsome and handsome.
The girl took care of Chen Xiuzhu for half a month, and she had already made a secret promise.
But Chen Xiuzhu couldn't find a way out, and no one could understand him even if he said it. He was full of anger.
Somehow, one night, the two of them ended up together.
Guan Dashan was furious when he found out.
He could see that Chen Xiuzhu was different from them and would leave the village sooner or later.
Although I don’t want my daughter to just end up with an outsider who can’t even speak Baekje. But now that the matter has come to this, he can only allow the two of them to come and get married.
As for Chen Xiuzhu, good luck is not good luck, but bad luck is good luck.
When he was in Xingji City, he had been married to the princess for so long, but he didn't see Princess Qi getting pregnant.
After arriving in the capital of Baekje, he secretly interacted with other girls, but has not seen any movement so far.
But in this remote Pingtuo village, he hit the nail on the head.
It didn't take long for Guan Xiaocao's belly to swell at a visible speed.
Chen Xiuzhu is still a very responsible man, although he has always wanted to go out and Hui Yunchui will continue to be his prince.
But for the sake of his children, no matter how unhappy he is, he has to work in the fields to support his family.
So there was the beginning.
In his wild thoughts, Chen Xiuzhu sighed, stood up, and was about to pick up the hoe and continue working.
Sudden
Jingle bell, jingle bell…
The crisp copper bell rang.
"Bronze bell?"
Pingtuo Village is desolate. The villagers have no time to eat. Where can the sound of copper bells come from?
Chen Xiuzhu perked up and quickly looked for fame.
In the dense forest not far away, a bright and familiar flag suddenly appeared.
