When Zhang Bao returned to the side courtyard of Zheng Bao Salt Village, he saw Princess Yongtai coming out with a wooden basin to splash water.
"Mad!"
"It's all your fault!"
As soon as she saw Zhang Bao come in, Princess Yongtai became furious.
It turns out that when she put makeup on Princess Yongtai, her face was smeared with mud and her teeth were covered with burnt charcoal. Because her teeth were in her mouth, she was worried about being washed away by saliva, so Zhang Bao carried a set of makeup with him. It's a black wooden stick. If nothing happens, let Princess Yongtai bite it.
Unexpectedly, after such a long time, my teeth were dyed black...
Princess Yongtai is going crazy.
Now that he no longer has to hide his identity, Zhang Bao is also busy.
Princess Yongtai quietly loosened herself.
I can finally feel more comfortable every day.
Otherwise, it can only be untied when sleeping, and it will be extremely uncomfortable all day long.
But this tooth is finished.
Princess Yongtai didn't know how many times she rinsed her mouth, but it still wasn't clean. Princess Yongtai was about to collapse.
It was precisely because Zheng Shiqi saw the big black teeth that Princess Yongtai was directly classified as an ugly girl.
"Forehead……"
"Would you like to try it without salt?"
"Anyway, there is a lot of salt here now."
Zhang Bao smiled.
Before toothpaste existed, ancient people used salt to clean their teeth.
It's just that for people in Daxia now, it hasn't reached this time yet. Before Princess Yongtai, they used special tooth powder to do it.
This tooth powder was made from the masonry of the city wall.
The effect will be somewhat worse.
"With salt?"
"Isn't it salty..."
Princess Yongtai expressed doubts.
"You are stupid. I didn't let you eat it. After you wiped it with salt, you rinsed your mouth and spit it out!"
Zhang Bao was speechless.
The Princess Yongtai in front of her was like an idiot in life.
"You are stupid!"
"I hate you so much!"
Princess Yongtai rolled her eyes at Zhang Bao.
"You don't need to do it, we are leaving soon."
"Pack your things and leave early tomorrow morning to return to Hezhou!"
"As for you...continue to disguise yourself as a man!"
Zhang Bao said to Princess Yongtai with a smile.
"ah?"
"Leaving again so soon?"
"Aren't there still pursuers now?"
Princess Yongtai quickly ran over and asked.
The restraints have just been released. I haven't felt comfortable for a few days, and I have to tighten them again. Isn't this toying with people?
"The pursuers are basically fine."
"Now there are wars in Xiazhou, and Cao Kang has proclaimed himself emperor. Although there are still people chasing us, there are not as many people as before."
"Since we can escape until now, there will be no problems in the future."
"And the matters on Dongzhou's side have been dealt with, so there's no need for us to continue spending time on Dongzhou's side."
Zhang Bao said slowly.
"But……"
"It's nothing!"
"We will leave early tomorrow morning. If you don't want to leave, you can live here by yourself!"
After Zhang Bao finished speaking, he went in to make arrangements without looking back.
The angry Princess Yongtai stomped her feet behind her.
But there is no way.
If Zhang Bao really left her alone, Zhang Bao would be able to do it, but Princess Yongtai was really scared.
Early the next morning.
Zhang Bao and the others followed the Zheng family's salt team towards Hezhou.
This time, there is no need to detour to Liaozhou. The reason for the detour last time was because the entire Dongzhou was looking for Zhang Bao and the others.
And as of now.
Except for Zheng Shiqi and others who knew Zhang Bao's true whereabouts, not many people in the entire Zheng family knew.
Not to mention everyone else.
Zhang Bao and the others directly pretended to be salt merchants this time.
For the entire Dongzhou side.
Regardless of whether they are bandits or soldiers, they only rob salt merchants but do not kill them.
Killing the salt merchants is unnecessary. Instead, it will cut off the salt road, which will not do them any good.
Even they will not rob all the salt merchants, but will only collect part of the money in a symbolic way.
So this journey is relatively safe.
Although the salt merchants did not know Zhang Bao's true identity, the people who were brought along by Zheng Shiqi were naturally extraordinary.
I walked without any danger for more than half a month.
Finally we came to the state border between Hezhou and Dongzhou.
"Brother Zhang, after passing the entrance of the valley in front, you will reach Hezhou!"
"Where are you going? At that time, the big shopkeeper only said that he would take you to Hezhou, and he did not mention the specific place. We are going to Beihai County. Are you on the way?"
An old man in the lead asked Zhang Bao.
Along the way, I have become very familiar with Zhang Bao and the others.
Zhang Bao and those burly men did not regard themselves as outsiders along the way. When they encountered some difficult roads, they all helped together.
It was the young man holding the child who was a bit squeamish.
Not only did he not help along the way, but he also went to other places alone while peeing, which was really strange.
"Brother Mu, it just so happens that we also want to go to Beihai County, so we can continue to drop by."
Zhang Bao smiled.
Now that we have reached the state border, as long as we enter Hezhou and run freely, we can return to Sanhe County in a few days.
I can finally relax a little bit.
"Manager Mu, a checkpoint suddenly appeared in front of us."
"I see a lot of soldiers stationed there."
At this moment, a person from the front ran back and said.
"Oh, we're already here. It's okay. No need to make a fuss."
"Get the money ready."
"There were so many levels before, and now this soldier is not easy to raise."
Manager Mu didn't pay too much attention.
He has walked this salt road for decades and has never passed the checkpoint before. It must be that the military camp has been out of money recently, so he used this method to collect more money.
The so-called checkpoints and interrogations are fake, but making money is real.
Seeing that the checkpoint was getting closer and closer, Zhang Bao was a little surprised. Why would someone set up a checkpoint in this place? The Dongzhou generals and their troops should have too much to take care of themselves.
Besides, people who were running for Wu Zhuangyuan were specially asked to carry out raids here, so there shouldn't be people from Dongzhou.
Something strange.
"stop!"
"Blind?!"
"Didn't you see the grandpas' level?"
Just as the carriage in front was about to pass, it was stopped by two people.
