Finally the day came to set off.
Outside Su Jing's courtyard, all the supplies were loaded onto the carriage.
"Niu Yi, Niu Su, please close the doors and windows."
Su Jing stood at the door and shouted to Zhu Biao and Zhu Ru.
"It's all closed!"
"Everything is fine, Master Su."
The two replied excitedly.
"Okay, let's get in the car."
Su Jing nodded, and the two of them ran out quickly.
Then Su Jing took another look at the scene in the small courtyard, nodded slightly, and then closed the courtyard door.
There is no need to lock or anything.
Because there are still people who come over from time to time. The shopkeepers of Su Jing's properties will take turns to clean the yard when Su Jing leaves.
Although she knew it was flattery, Su Jing couldn't refuse.
You still have to let them do some things, otherwise you won't feel at ease.
Su Jing jumped lightly and sat on the frame in front of the carriage, then opened the curtain and looked at the two people sitting inside: "Sit tight, let's set off."
Snapped!
The riding whip was raised in the air and made a beautiful sound.
The carriage also moved slowly.
The appearance of the carriage is very simple, with no ornate decoration at all.
In Su Jing's words, you can hide wealth when you are away from home.
But the horse must be a good horse. After all, the cold winter months are coming, and such a weak horse cannot bear it.
Su Jing was not in a hurry, so her speed was not very fast.
Along the way, Gong Weilang followed him all the time and reported the real-time location to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"I just captured a few demons! I captured a few more demons!"
"Why are there so many monsters and monsters!"
…
Driving a bus is a boring thing, so Su Jing immediately started humming.
This theme song of "Journey to the West" is just right for traveling.
In the carriage, Zhu Biao and Zhu Ru sat quietly, listening to Su Jing's singing outside, and suddenly became curious.
"Master Su, what are you singing?"
Zhu Biao opened the door curtain and asked.
But as soon as the door curtain was opened, a cold wind rushed in.
cold!
It's so cold!
"Close the curtain!"
Su Jing said immediately.
He was fully armed before he sat in a carriage to drive the carriage. It must have been very cold this season in a carriage.
The door curtain suddenly opened, and the cold wind must have poured in directly.
"Niu Yi!"
Su Jing shouted loudly: "Did you see a bamboo tube on the top of the carriage?"
"Saw it!"
Zhu Biao replied loudly.
"Okay! Niu Yi, take off the bamboo tube, be careful not to get the rope attached to the bamboo tube tangled, and then put it to your ear."
Su Jing shouted again, and then took out a bamboo tube from her hand. There was a rope connected to the bamboo tube, and she entered the car along the gap in the door.
"Okay, Master Su!"
Zhu Biao also responded loudly and put his ears to the side of the bamboo tube.
"Niu Yi, can you hear my voice?"
Su Jing's clear voice came out of the bamboo tube, as if it was in her ears.
Zhu Biao was very surprised, he didn't expect it to be so clear.
"Don't be in a hurry to speak."
Su Jing's voice came again: "Now this bamboo tube is just a microphone. If you have something to say, just knock on the car door, and then I will know. Just speak to this bamboo tube."
"When you're done, remember to put the bamboo tube on your ear again."
"If you understand, then try it out."
Zhu Biao was a little surprised. Although it was just the simplest knowledge of sound transmission, it was indeed an area that he had not touched yet.
Zhu Biao knocked lightly on the car door, and then said to the bamboo tube: "Master Su, can you hear what the student is saying?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately put the bamboo tube on his ear.
Su Jing's voice came clearly again: "You can hear me clearly, you are quite bored in the carriage, right? I will tell you a book, just this story I sang."
Rushing, the road is the most boring time.
Su Jing herself didn't care, there were many ways to amuse Menzi.
However, both Zhu Biao and Zhu Rui were children, so Su Jing still had to think about it.
He didn't care about Zhu Biao's reply and started talking directly.
As a story he has told many times in front of the people of Lishui County, Su Jing still remembers "Journey to the West" relatively firmly.
Of course, it may be due to the system.
But none of this matters.
Su Jing started talking about Dongsheng Shenzhou, which was full of emotion and cadence, completely attracting Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi in the carriage.
This journey seems to have become less boring.
The passage of time seems to be impossible to perceive.
Time passed little by little, and the sky turned from early morning to noon.
"Xu~~~~~"
Su Jing pulled the reins, stopped the carriage, then opened the door curtain and said to the two of them: "Let's have lunch before leaving, and let the horses write too."
"Is it already noon?"
Zhu Biao was stunned. He and Zhu Zhu were leaning their ears against the bamboo tube.
But Su Jing is not surprised. After all, "Journey to the West" is an extremely tall monument in the popular field.
One of the four great classics is no joke.
"Okay, there's food right under your seats."
Su Jing said to the two of them.
The interior of this carriage was modified by Su Jing herself in order to maximize the use of space.
Everywhere is packed with stuff.
"Okay, Master Su."
Zhu Biao nodded, then moved away, opened the lid of the wooden board, and took out the food.
Braised beef and large steamed buns.
They are all good things to keep you hungry.
Su Jing was not in a hurry to eat, but found some fodder nearby and fed the horse.
In this long journey, the horse is the most important thing.
"My horse, my horse, eat more."
Su Jing was still murmuring for fodder.
Although I don’t know if the horse understands it, it’s better to say it than not say it at all.
"Master Su, let me feed you. I've finished eating."
Zhu Biao quickly wiped out the dry food in his hand, went directly to Su Jing, and picked up the fodder.
"Okay, then you come."
Su Jing nodded, came to the carriage, picked up the steamed buns and beef and started eating.
"Master Su, what will happen to Sun Wukong after he returns from his studies?"
Zhu Ru asked Su Jing.
Su Jing had already finished talking about Sun Wukong's learning experience in Xianyue Sanxing Cave all morning.
He was about to return to Huaguo Mountain, and Zhu Ru was very curious.
"Don't worry, the story has to be listened to slowly to be interesting."
Su Jing said with a smile.
The next plot is about making trouble in the Dragon Palace to obtain the Poseidon Needle, which is the climax.
"Okay, it's a pity that I can't go to Shandong with Master Su, otherwise I would have listened all the way."
Zhu Rui lost his way.
The appeal of Journey to the West is still great.
Su Jing smiled and patted Zhu Xi on the head and said: "Then I, the master, will make you a promise. After Yingtian Mansion puts you down, I won't talk about it anymore. I will continue talking about this when I come back from Shandong." Story, okay?”
"Okay, Master!"
Zhu Ru raised his head, his eyes lit up, and he even felt more energetic chewing beef.
When the horse has finished eating the fodder, the resting time is over.
The three of them set out again.
At this time, in the Forbidden City, Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma had left the palace early.
Su Jing wants to bring Zhu Biao and Zhu Zhu to Yingtian Mansion, but they cannot meet in the palace.
Unfortunately, Su Jing's progress was too slow.
"This Su Jing, why are you so ink-marked? She is obviously going to Shanxi to look for something, but why is she acting like she is out for fun?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked a little impatient, but he had temporarily put aside all major affairs in the court.
"Chongba, why are you in a hurry? Mr. Su is not alone. There is also Ru'er in the car."
Queen Ma said to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Rui was very young. If the carriage was going too fast, it would not be a good thing if the carriage and horses were bumpy.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little angry.
Mu Ying on the side could only watch this scene, pretending not to see it.
He is still very clear about the relationship between his adoptive father Zhu Yuanzhang and his adoptive mother Queen Ma.
In the entire Ming Dynasty, Empress Ma was the only one who could make Zhu Yuanzhang look like this.
Time passed little by little.
Zhu Yuanzhang left his palace early after lunch. His normal schedule changed, which naturally attracted the attention of the ministers.
However, the ministers can only guess.
They would never dare to inquire about Zhu Yuanzhang's whereabouts.
It was not until evening that Su Jing's carriage slowly arrived outside the gate of Yingtian Mansion.
"arrive."
Su Jing stopped the carriage and knocked on the door.
After all, Yingtian Mansion is the capital city, and it is about to close the city gate at night, so entry and exit are naturally more strict.
All people in the carriages must come out, and the carriages must be inspected to see if any dangerous items are carried.
In the Ming Dynasty, carrying a sword was nothing, but there were two things that were strictly prohibited.
One is armor.
Even if an ordinary person puts on armor, he can easily massacre people without suffering any danger.
This increase in combat power for ordinary people is really terrifying.
The other is a crossbow.
Crossbows are concealed and have long-range lethality, making them a very good weapon for assassination.
Yingtian Mansion is an imperial city, and security issues are particularly important. Naturally, weapons like this that can be used for long-distance sneak attacks cannot be brought along.
As for the firecracker, this thing is completely controlled by the military and cannot be obtained by ordinary people.
After Su Jing and the three carriages passed the inspection at the city gate, they successfully entered Yingtian Mansion.
Even though it was almost evening, the flow of people was still huge.
I can only say that it deserves to be a capital city!
"Niu Yi, where is your home? Where should I put you two? It doesn't look like I've been out, but in fact Ying Tianfu has been here before."
Su Jing asked Zhu Biao.
He didn't have any thoughts about Zhu Biao's family background in the hall, but he couldn't just drop him off at the gate of the city after he was delivered.
Zhu Biao did not answer, because not far away, he had seen a familiar figure.
"Mr. Su, please come this way."
Mu Ying walked quickly to Su Jing and directly guided Su Jing's carriage.
In the capital city, carriages cannot be set up and can only be guided by people in front.
"Mu Wenying, it's you."
When Su Jing saw Mu Ying, she recognized her immediately.
"Brother Mu."
Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi also shouted immediately.
Mu Ying nodded towards them, and then said: "The adoptive father and stepmother have been waiting for a long time, I will lead the way."
Su Jing was not surprised and said, "That would be troublesome."
Soon, the carriage stopped outside a house.
The plaque of Niufu is very conspicuous and the workmanship is very new. Needless to say, it must have just come out.
Pushing the door in, everything is new.
"Su Jing, you are finally here."
Zhu Yuanzhang came quickly and said to Su Jing.
Queen Ma on the side bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Su."
"Uncle, you are just too impatient. My travel speed has not changed. I think you should know the distance between Lishui County and Yingtian Mansion better than me."
Su Jing said with a smile.
This sentence not only answered Zhu Yuanzhang's question, but also pointed out that Su Jing knew that his whereabouts had always been known to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"snort."
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said nothing more.
"Come on, come on, Mr. Su, you have worked hard all the way. Come and have a cup of tea. The dinner has been prepared. You can go and eat after a short rest."
Queen Ma poured tea for Su Jing very enthusiastically.
The completely different attitudes of the couple still made Su Jing a little at a loss.
"Thank you ma'am."
Su Jing immediately thanked Queen Ma.
After a brief rest, he came to the living room.
There was no one else at the table, except for Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma, Mu Ying, and Su Jing, Zhu Biao, and Zhu Ru, a total of six people.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want everyone to know about this, but it wasn't time to reveal his identity yet.
After a burst of joy and laughter, the dinner was finished quickly.
Su Jing got straight to the point and said: "Uncle, I am going to Shandong. Where are your two sons? I will send them back first."
"The boss has already written to me, I know about it."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said. Zhu Biao on the side was a little nervous because he didn't know what his father was thinking.
He clearly remembered that Su Jing said she believed in him.
If something happened below, he would feel uneasy.
"How to say?"
Su Jing's question was rather ambiguous.
He also wanted to see Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude and whether he would relent easily.
The relationship between herself and Zhu Biao and Zhu Ji was still very harmonious. Su Jing also recognized Zhu Yuanzhang's various protections and surveillances.
Is it understandable?
But you can't just be watched, you also have to see what Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude is.
This is directly related to the question of where Su Jing will go next.
Everyone present was silent. Even Zhu Rui could feel that Su Jing's attitude was not a casual question.
Queen Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, feeling very nervous, but she did nothing.
At this time, what Su Jing wanted was Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude, and it would not be possible if he interfered.
However, at least Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude was asked before.
should be no problem.
"Of course that's not possible."
Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point.
The lively atmosphere during the meal disappeared instantly, as if it had never appeared before.
Even Queen Ma's heart skipped a beat.
"Then what does uncle want to do?"
Su Jing asked Zhu Yuanzhang, her expression still calm.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "You have to take my son Niu Yi with you. He has already written to me to beg me, and my adopted son. You taught him the Wolf Constitution and the Yuanyang Formation just to deal with the rogue bandits along the coast of Shandong. He is along the way." past."
As soon as these words came out, the situation suddenly changed!
