"I have finally waited for this day."
Gu Tianhe secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
After Chen Tong sets off, he can quietly evacuate and return to the capital.
As for assassinating His Majesty, the two armies faced each other.
These are trivial matters.
At least in his opinion, Gu Tianhe, they are not as important as the Palace of Eternal Life.
After all, the Palace of Eternal Life pursues immortality.
As long as you complete the tasks assigned by the organization, you will receive a reward elixir. After taking it, you will be promoted to the paradise world.
When he was first recruited by the organization, Gu Tianhe experienced the paradise world once.
It is truly a pure land.
There are cranes, ponds, mist, fairies, fine wine, and countless mountains of gold and silver...
There are only things you can’t think of, nothing that doesn’t exist there.
Even if you want the moon in the sky, Paradise can instantly create one for you, deliver it to you, put it in your hand, and let you play with it.
Ever since that time, Gu Tianhe had been completely devoted to the Palace of Eternal Life.
I dream of returning to the organization and becoming immortal.
Today, the task is finally completed.
Gu Tianhe was so happy in his heart that he had already begun to daydream about the happy days in the Paradise World.
At this time, A Dajian was extremely puzzled.
In order to reduce his target and reduce his sense of presence, he changed out of his eunuch uniform after setting off from Qingzhou City.
I was wearing a set of poor people's clothes. Not only were they thin, but they also had several holes in them.
The cloth bag was wrapped in rags.
He also held a dry branch and an old pottery bowl with almost only the bottom left in it.
Dressed like this, you can pass yourself off as a poor person.
No one would think of him as a rich man.
Can be a businessman.
After all, the cloth bag contains rags. You can go to the city to exchange for some copper coins and buy two taels of wheat.
You can also be a beggar.
There are three identities, which can be switched at any time when encountering problems.
Fortunately, we were not on horseback, but on foot.
Or walk quickly.
In this cold winter, I didn't feel cold at all. On the contrary, I was sweating all over.
However, now that they have reached Bianliang County, there is still no one blocking the way.
Could it be that he dressed up so much that those who blocked the road really regarded him as a common man?
Your eyesight isn't that bad, right?
If this is the case, then the soldiers in Yuzhou are really a mob.
That's it?
Still want to confront His Majesty?
It's like hitting an egg against a stone.
Of course, A Dajian didn't think too much and quickened his pace while he was not being discovered.
According to calculations, a normal walk from Qingzhou Prefecture to Yongzhou Jincheng would take nine days, but A Dajian was in a hurry and only slept about two hours a day. Almost all of the remaining time was spent on the journey.
As for the endurance issue.
Sorry, A Dajian is originally from a poor place.
He worked a lot since he was a child, which laid a solid foundation for his strong physical fitness.
After entering the palace, he had to do heavy work again.
There's nothing to say about endurance.
I remember that in those days, in order to enter the palace and find a good job, A Dajian walked from Jinzhu Village, Jinping County, Yunnan County, Yizhou and arrived in the capital.
It's much farther than this journey.
And every time when he is too tired to move his legs, Ah Dajian thinks about his future.
There was still a beam of light in the darkness.
The previous light was given by His Majesty.
Somewhat bleak.
After all, he had lived in the palace for so long and had never seen His Majesty, not even from a distance.
Now that light is given by Zhao Ping.
Like sunlight, it cannot be looked directly at, it is very dazzling.
Following Zhao Ping, the future will be a bright one.
Ah Dajian will become more and more powerful and walk faster and faster.
Also puzzled was Zhao Ping.
He took Ying Yi, Gao Meng and others into Bianliang County and successfully arrived at the top of the mountain where Lu Pin was.
There, only two bandits were left guarding the place.
Considered a housekeeper.
It was Shen Bao who followed Zhao Ping's advice.
After all, it is a cottage, there must be a hilltop, and that is their sphere of influence.
To others, mountains may be dangerous.
After all, there are raptors and beasts inside that can eat people and destroy crops.
But for Zhao Ping, mountains are treasures.
There are various rare vegetations in the outer layer. Many of these vegetations may have become extinct in previous lives.
Like a rubber tree.
It can be used to make tires, shoes, boats, etc., and has a wide range of uses.
Of course, rubber trees cannot grow in Henan County.
According to Zhao Ping, who is not familiar with history, the rubber tree should have been discovered by Indians in previous lives and is commonly known as the weeping tree.
Maybe there are other treasures on the hills of Henan County?
Even if there is nothing, just leaves and dead branches can be collected and used as firewood.
Wouldn't it be nice to boil water for cooking?
What's more, there are precious medicinal materials on the mountain.
Of course, the most important thing is the things inside the mountain, such as coal.
Zhao Ping didn't know if there were any minerals in Bianliang County.
But in his previous life, he had been to Zhengzhou and knew that there were many coal mines there.
Maybe if you are lucky, you can find another coal mine?
Even if there is nothing, there are still rocks on the mountain.
Mine it, get some limestone, get some quicklime and the like, you can use it too.
In short, it cannot be wasted.
According to what these two young men said, several waves of bandits from Bianliang County went to the state capital, followed Chen Tong's orders, and planned to rebel.
As for the person who intercepted the ambush, I have never heard of it.
The next day, Zhao Ping and the others left the village, headed west, passed through Henan County, and arrived at Shanyang County.
I also saw a different world.
In eastern and central Yuzhou, that is, Bianliang County and Henan County, all villages are almost empty.
Even if there are people, they are very few.
And most of them are old, weak, women and children.
However, when they arrived in Shanyang County in the west, the flow of people increased.
At least you can see the smoke from the village, and the city is guarded.
People come and go from time to time.
Almost everyone had a smile on their face.
It's like celebrating the new year.
No, it’s almost the Chinese New Year.
It is already the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year will be celebrated in less than a month.
However, after listening for a while, Zhao Ping realized the reason for their smiles - His Majesty led troops into Shanyang County.
The bandit suppression officially began.
Don’t you see, all the bandits in Shanyang County are gone.
Of course, it’s long gone.
Either he learns that His Majesty is personally campaigning against bandits and flees upon hearing the news.
Either they responded to the call of the King of Yuzhou and gathered in Bianliang County to wait for the rebellion.
Anyway, Li Yan led his troops to four bandit nests, but he didn't see a single bandit.
Except for seeing traces of people living there.
Nothing else was gained.
Even when the bandits left, they took away all the gold and silver.
What cannot be taken away must be burned or buried.
Li Yan was also quite depressed.
He once heard Xu Tianhua say that when Zhao Ping was suppressing bandits, if he destroyed a village, he could get free food, women, treasures, etc. from that village.
Why were there empty holes when it was his turn?
Forget it, let’s take a rest in Shanyang County first. I won’t be leading the team tomorrow.
Just send some manpower to check out those cottages.
If this is the case, then send someone to Jincheng to deliver a memorial, saying that he has wiped out the bandits in Shanyang County and is preparing to enter Henan County to suppress the bandits.
"Your Majesty is in Shanyang County?"
Ying Yi also heard the conversation of the common people and asked Zhao Ping: "Zhao Ping, can we go see His Majesty now?"
"cannot."
Zhao Ping shook his head.
"Why?"
Ying Yi frowned, "You set out from Xiping Village to go to Jincheng. Don't you want to meet His Majesty and tell him the news about Chen Tong's rebellion?"
"His Majesty is in Shanyang County now, why don't you go?"
"First of all, under what name do we go to see His Majesty?"
Zhao Ping asked rhetorically.
"Of course..."
Ying paused as soon as he spoke.
She suddenly realized that we were all ordinary people and had no qualifications to meet His Majesty.
Although Zhao Ping is an official, he is only a seventh-grade wine taster.
Moreover, he is a wine taster who can only brew acacia wine in Xiping Village, so he is no different from ordinary people.
He went to see His Majesty so rashly.
I'm afraid that I won't even be able to see His Majesty's face, and will be arrested by the people around His Majesty and sent to prison.
"Secondly, do you know where His Majesty is?"
Zhao Ping asked again.
"Isn't it in Shanyang County?"
Ying Yi said strangely: "We already know this from the conversations of the common people."
"hehe."
Zhao Ping chuckled and shook his head slowly.
"Probably not here."
"Otherwise, the army will not stop in Shanyang County."
"Having learned that there are no bandits in Shanyang County, His Majesty will definitely send his troops eastward towards Henan County."
"The army has not moved yet. It is obvious that His Majesty is not here."
"The person leading the team needs to ask His Majesty for instructions and get His Majesty's instructions before taking the next step."
When talking about this, Zhao Ping became more and more curious about Chen Xuan.
He also admired Guan Yongning even more.
Guan Yongning said before that His Majesty may have been pretending.
His Majesty is not unaware of the dirty deeds of those high-ranking officials in the capital, but is waiting for the opportunity to give them a fatal blow.
If you don't enter Yuzhou now, you should have guessed that Chen Tong would rebel.
To avoid being stabbed in the back by Chen Tong.
"So, let's rest in Shanyang County for a day, and then set off for Jincheng tomorrow."
Zhao Ping suggested: "If we can't see His Majesty there, it's not too late for us to turn back."
"After all, His Majesty wants to suppress the bandits, so the marching speed cannot be that fast."
"All right."
Yingyi didn’t force it.
Anyway, if she had a night's rest, she could take advantage of the darkness to sneak into the military camp and look for His Majesty.
I really can’t find it. I’ll go to Jincheng with Zhao Ping tomorrow.
If you find it, tell it on the spot to avoid His Majesty falling into a trap.
Of course, these words cannot be said to Zhao Ping.
Identity cannot be revealed.
