Xiazhou.
As the state where the capital is located, the conditions for development in all aspects are naturally better than those in other regions.
In addition to the military power that can be seen everywhere, it is more about commerce and trade.
Many handicrafts from Huizhou first passed through Daxia and then flowed out, so there were still a lot of business trips between Huizhou and Xiazhou.
In addition, the terrain is relatively flat and there are many official roads.
At this time, Zhang Bao and the others were walking slowly on an official road.
There was only one carriage and a group of five people.
For the rest of the people, Zhang Bao had already asked them to disperse and go ahead to inquire about the situation.
Their identities generally do not arouse suspicion.
While Zhang Bao and the others were walking, a group of people suddenly chased them from behind.
"stop!"
This group of people came closer and blocked the way of Zhang Bao and his party.
"My lord, we are just doing some small business. An lord just checked it out."
Zhang Bao said to the visitor.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
"Hurry up and open the carriage, let's see who's inside!"
The leader said to Zhang Bao very unhappy.
He took out a portrait from his pocket and looked at Zhang Bao.
The other people had already opened the door of the carriage without any explanation, looked inside, and then closed the door.
"They're all women!"
"let's go!"
Several people cursed and ran towards the distance.
Zhang Bao shook his head and watched a few people run away before continuing on the road.
This is the first time I have come along this journey, and I have seen a lot of indiscriminate killing of innocent people along the way.
Many boys as old as the little emperor killed him without saying a word.
Thanks to Zhang Bao, he had already prepared in advance.
I expected that Cao Kang already had his own portrait.
There was no need to put on special makeup, but the beard was deliberately left on. In addition, it had not been properly cleaned up for so many days, and it was basically unrecognizable.
In the past, shaving was done with a knife.
There is no way, every time when I kiss Xiaoyue, Xiaoyue will hum and twist her body to express her dissatisfaction.
Although when she was wearing stubble, if she kissed Su Xiaoyue somewhere, Xiaoyue would react even more, and even twitched several times.
But Su Xiaoyue would scrape it off with a knife every day, saying that men must pay attention to their appearance when they are outside.
But in the past few months since I've been out, how can I take care of this?
In addition, I have been traveling a lot recently, and I am so tired that I am almost losing weight, and my appearance has changed a long time ago.
At first, Zhang Bao was a little worried when he was shown the portrait for the first time, but when Zhang Bao himself came over and took a look, he was completely relieved.
Not to mention that he has a beard now, even if he doesn't have a beard, it would be difficult to recognize him.
The painter at this time is indeed not that magical.
As for Princess Yongtai, Zhang Bao used loess and pot ashes to plaster her face into a yellow-faced woman. Even her teeth were stained black, and she wore shabby coarse clothes.
Even the two fierce creatures were tightly wrapped in cloth at Zhang Bao's strong request.
At the beginning, I almost suffocated Princess Yongtai to death!
He was so strangled that he couldn't even breathe. It wasn't until he could barely see it from the outside that he passed Zhang Bao's level.
When it was time to rest at night, Princess Yongtai quickly let go, feeling a little bruised.
There is no way, Princess Yongtai is fair and beautiful, and coupled with these two dangerous things, if these soldiers see her, they will inevitably have some unreasonable thoughts, so it is better to be honest.
Zhang Bao didn't dare to gamble on this kind of thing.
As for the little emperor, under the disguise of Princess Yongtai, he is completely a girl.
There are many pigtails on her head, and the clothes on her body were made overnight by the women's kitchen knife brigade and then made distressed with soil, despite the emperor's strong resistance.
But after Zhang Bao took out the knife, he honestly let Princess Yongtai manipulate her with tears in her eyes.
As for the people in the women's kitchen knife brigade, there is no need to pretend, they originally look relatively safe.
Along the way, I met a lot of people asking questions, but they basically walked away after taking one look at them.
Cao Kang's order to them was to find a male doll about the same size as the emperor.
They would never have thought that the little girl with pink makeup and red face in the carriage just now was the emperor they were looking for...
Zhang Bao and the others were not in a hurry, they just walked slowly towards Huizhou.
…
Not long after walking, it started to rain, and the rain never stopped.
After Zhang Bao and the others traveled for many days, they finally entered Huizhou and couldn't stand it anymore, so they found an inn to stay.
It's very troublesome when you're traveling on a rainy day.
Not only is the speed slow, but he often gets stuck in mud pits.
For these roads now, even the official roads are all dirt roads.
It's usually okay when the weather is nice, but once it rains, it's basically muddy soup.
"Shopkeeper, how long will it continue to rain?"
Zhang Bao asked the owner of the inn.
"Oh, this is hard to say."
"Now during the rainy season, it lasts for as little as one month and as many as two or three months."
"Even if it stops, it won't stop for long."
"How do you get on your way at this time?"
The shopkeeper asked Zhang Bao.
Under normal circumstances, when they go to Xiazhou for business trips from Huizhou, they always plan their time to avoid the rainy season.
Otherwise, a lot of goods would be in trouble during these rainy days.
"Aren't you planning to go to the capital? Who knew something happened there, so we were delayed for a long time."
"Originally, I should have come here a long time ago."
Zhang Bao smiled and said.
"Who says it's not the case? Recently, many soldiers and horses have come from Xiazhou, and I heard that many of them are from the capital!"
The shopkeeper nodded.
Their inn is at the junction of Xiazhou and Huizhou.
It is natural to have more contact with these people.
"Yeah, I heard they were looking for someone, so they searched for us on the way."
Zhang Bao said to the shopkeeper.
I want to see what's going on now.
"Isn't it?"
"I heard they were looking for some kind of boy doll. A while ago, many soldiers broke in. It was a good search!"
"It almost destroyed our inn."
"Those people are so fierce!"
The shopkeeper said with lingering fear.
"Well, then let's not delay and hurry up as soon as possible."
"Shopkeeper, prepare more dry food for us."
Zhang Bao handed over a piece of silver.
"Easy to say, easy to say!"
“It’s all ready-made here.”
"I'll have the waiter install it for you right away."
The shopkeeper immediately went to the back to make arrangements.
At this moment.
Suddenly several people wearing raincoats walked in from outside.
