The team stopped and Zhuo Ya got into Zhao Hao's carriage.

Then keep moving forward.

Zhuo Ya fell directly on Zhao Hao and coiled around him like an octopus.

Zhao Hao gently stroked her jade back and smiled softly, "After leaving the Imperial Capital, I feel that you feel lighter."

Zhuoya didn't say anything. She rubbed her pretty face against his chest, then grabbed the prickly ash wood with her small hands.

Zhao Hao immediately took a breath of cold air: "What's wrong? Aren't you feeling unwell?"

Zhuo Ya said softly, "I left cleanly yesterday."

Zhao Hao was stunned. No wonder he was so proactive. It turned out he had just left.

However, he still patted her shoulder and whispered, "Let's wait until night. It's so early in the morning, don't exercise too much."

Zhuoya refused.

He moved slowly down and gently untied Zhao Hao's belt.

Then he started to play on his own.

Zhao Hao didn't expect that the other party would be so anxious.

There is really no other way but to let it happen.

In order to avoid going further, after it was over, Zhao Hao simply didn't sit in the car, but walked with Zhuo Ya.

The team's marching speed was also greatly increased.

At night, they simply rested for two hours, and then continued on their journey under the moonlight.

It is now October.

The weather is getting cooler.

Even though Qingshan is in the southwest and is hotter than the Imperial Capital, it is still very cold in November and December.

At that time, it was not so easy to mobilize troops to suppress bandits, so we could not delay too long on the road.

It was this way of traveling that half a month passed before the group entered Qingzhou.

Su Yong had already arrived.

And waited.

When he saw Zhao Hao, he immediately came up to introduce himself: "Sir, our troops are all here. According to your instructions, I have already deployed all the troops."

Zhao Hao nodded: "Brother Su, you did a great job. Do you have any specific news?"

Su Yong said quickly, "My Lord, just before you arrived, I did some research nearby."

"We got some specific information about Black Cloud Village."

"The old leader of Black Cloud Village is named Xie Laoqing. There are about three to four thousand people in the entire Black Cloud Village."

"In fact, there are not nearly 10,000 as rumored."

"However, it is rumored that Xie Laoqing has died, and the new leader of the village is his adopted daughter, Xie Ying."

Zhao Hao nodded and said, "The city of Sishui is just ahead. Let's go into the city to rest for a day, and then head to Shang'an."

Su Yong hurriedly said, "Sir, I have already arranged a place for you to stay. Please follow me!"

Having said that, he mounted his horse and led Zhao Hao and his party into the city.

After traveling for half a month, Zhao Hao was indeed quite tired.

Zhuoya, on the other hand, is much stronger than him.

His horsemanship is really bad.

My butt is almost broken into eight pieces.

After arriving at the lower room and taking a shower, Zhao Hao fell directly on the bed and fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already dark.

The cook also prepared the meal.

Zhao Hao and Zhuo Ya came over, sat down at the table, and waved to Su Yong.

"Brother Su, come over here and let's eat together!"

Su Yong quickly said, "Thank you, sir. I have already used it."

Hearing this, Zhao Hao didn't say anything and started eating with Zhuo Ya.

While we were eating, more news came back.

Zhao Hao took it and looked at it, and had a general idea in his mind.

The vanguard team arrived at Shang'an, the location of the Black Cloud Village's headquarters, three days ago and obtained comprehensive information.

The rumors were correct, the current leader of Heiyun Village was indeed Xie Ying, the adopted daughter of Xie Laoqing.

The headquarters of Heiyun Village is located in the mountains southwest of Shang'an City, about two hundred miles away from Shang'an City.

In order to obtain more accurate information, a team of dozens of people disguised themselves as hunters and went into the mountains according to Zhao Hao's previous plan.

Su Yong said: "Master, everything is going well. Once the exact news is delivered, we can proceed to the next step!"

Zhao Hao nodded and said, "Indeed, they are good. These people are indeed picked by Brother Su himself."

“Well-trained!”

Su Yong hurriedly said, "Sir, you are too kind!"

Although he spoke modestly, Su Yong was already very happy in his heart.

Because this opportunity is really rare for him.

As long as he completed this mission successfully, he would not only successfully establish a relationship with Zhao Hao, but also be able to show his face in front of Jiang Wan'er.

From now on, it will be more than just a commander of the imperial guards.

It is not impossible to rise rapidly to the top.

Therefore, he cherished this opportunity very much in his heart.

After dinner, Zhao Hao and Zhuo Ya returned to the room.

Along the way, neither of them took it seriously.

Zhuoya couldn't bear it anymore.

As soon as Zhao Hao sat down, he saw Zhuo Ya's eyes spitting fire, and then he sat aside.

She only heard her softly ask, "Sir, is this ok?"

Seeing her like this, Zhao Hao couldn't even think of refusing.

How could a man not be able to do that?

The two of them started practicing immediately.

At first, he felt some pain in his butt, but as his attention shifted, he forgot about it.

Not long after, Zhuoya's hoarse shouting was heard.

This is the independent courtyard.

If it were in an inn, I'm afraid there would have been a crowd of people outside the door, thinking that someone had been killed in the room.

After a night, Zhao Hao got up and walked out of the yard, and saw Wu Song and Su Yong waiting outside the yard.

Wusong is fine, I'm used to it.

But Su Yong's eyes when he looked at Zhao Hao were filled with infinite admiration.

He took a deep breath, and after holding back for a while, he finally spoke: "The whole Imperial Capital is talking about this duke's reputation. I thought it was just a rumor, and it might not be true."

"I just found out today that the rumors are really not false at all. It's really amazing!"

Zhao Hao was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he laughed and said, "Brother Su, you are too kind!"

Wu Song next to him said, "Sir, breakfast is ready!"

Zhao Hao nodded, and the three of them walked towards the dining room.

Zhao Hao waved his hand and said, "When you are out, there are no so many rules. Sit down and eat together!"

Su Yong couldn't help but ask, "Master, don't you want to wait for Miss Zhuo?"

Zhao Hao shook his head: "Let her sleep a little longer, we will set off later!"

It was past ten o'clock before Zhuoya finally packed up and walked out of the courtyard.

Compared with yesterday, she looked much more radiant at this moment.

However, there was an extra scarf around her neck.

After she had a simple meal, everyone continued on their way towards Shang'an City.

Sishui City is about 150 miles away from Shang'an City.

The scale of the two cities is completely incomparable.

Shang'an City is one of the largest cities in Qingzhou and its location is also very important.

This time, Zhao Hao did not walk too fast. He walked slowly and it took him two days to enter Shang'an City.
