By this time, Gu Hong had already sat opposite the emperor.

He was not as reserved as he was at the beginning. Although he had a very hot temper, the man in front of him was the emperor.

"Oh? I didn't expect that County Master Shen would be so talented?"

The emperor also showed an expression of surprise on his face.

"Hurry up and ask the waiter to bring up a portion of this watermelon for you to try." After the emperor said this, the eunuch immediately stood up and walked out. Not long after, the waiter came in with a few cans of watermelon.

These canned watermelons are contained in some porcelain jars specially customized by Shen Ningsi.

If it is packaged in a glass bottle, it will look more appetizing.

But at this moment, the waiter had already poured out the cans and placed them in a bowl.

These watermelons are cut into very even sizes, just enough for one bite.

Seeing this, the eunuch came over, took out a bowl and started eating, which was also considered as testing the poison.

When the emperor saw this scene, he did not stop it, but happily discussed with Gu Hong what Shen Ningsi had done.

After the eunuchs confirmed that the canned watermelons were not poisonous, the emperor took out a bowl slowly and began to eat it leisurely.

I couldn't help but exclaim in praise after just two bites.

Although the weather is not that hot at this time, it is still very appetizing to eat such cool and delicious watermelon after traveling for such a long time.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill in the inn, they took a carriage to Wanning Village.

Because although the imperial guards led by the emperor had changed their disguises, their aura could not be concealed at all, and they did not encounter any blind people along the way.

Gu Hong was also eager to return home at this time, and wanted to ask Zhao Xianxing to go back to the village to inform them first, but was stopped by the emperor.

"No, no, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. It would be pointless if you go back and tell the truth!"

The emperor smiled and shook his head. After spending more than half a month together, the relationship between the emperor and his subject had become much more harmonious.

The emperor had already spoken, and Gu Hong could not say anything more. Then the group slowly walked towards Wanning Village.

"Your Majesty, this is the fertile land you gave to Sisi!"

At this moment, everyone has arrived at Wanning Village, and Gu Hong pointed to the thousands of acres of fertile land not far away.

"Oh? The yellow with green is winter wheat?"

The emperor also saw the scene not far away at this time, and an expression of excitement immediately appeared on his face.

"Yes, to be on the safe side, Sisi planted a hundred acres of winter wheat."

Gu Hong said this seriously, and when he mentioned Shen Ningsi, even his brows were filled with pride.

"Very good, very good. You are indeed worthy of being the county lord I have appointed. Your mind is so delicate and insightful."

There was no dissatisfaction in the emperor's tone, but he spoke with praise.

"The houses here look quite unique!"

Suddenly, the emperor saw a row of houses built near the fertile fields. Their appearance was different from all the houses in Da Zhao, and a strange expression appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, these houses are all coated with a layer of cement. This cement is very strong. Once it solidifies, it will be as hard as stone. Even if such a house is used for one or two hundred years, it will not break down! This was also invented by my wife!"

Gu Hong explained seriously.

"It's as hard as stone and won't break even after one or two hundred years!" When the emperor heard him say this, a look of shock appeared on his face!

Then he thought of something and his breathing became rapid.

"If we use this material to build a bunker, wouldn't it be impregnable?"

"Yes, my people have already transported this material called cement to the border. According to the time calculation, it should have arrived by now!"

Gu Hong said this with a proud look on his face.

"Are the people living there from Wanning Village?"

At this time, the emperor saw several strong men coming out of the village, each holding a weapon in their hands, and walking towards the fertile fields.

"No, these are the soldiers who returned from the border after being injured!" Gu Hong explained patiently.

"General Gu, you said they were all soldiers returning from the border who were injured. If that's true, do you know the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

The Grand Tutor also had a serious expression on his face.

As we all know, there are only two kinds of people who can return from the border: one is the dead, and the other is the person with disabled hands and feet.

But these men are big and strong, and they walk with great energy, and they don’t look like they are disabled!

If it is really as Gu Hong said, then he must have lied about his injury. This is a crime of deceiving the emperor. No matter what kind of attack he makes, he will surely die!

"Yes, when they returned from the border, some of them were even despised by their families at home and starved to the point of being skin and bones. Fortunately, I sent people to find them, and they were healed by my wife. Now they are guarding the fertile fields and farming."

Of course, Gu Hong knew what the Grand Tutor meant by this sentence.

Gu Hong then casually explained that the injuries of these people had been registered by military doctors, and he was not worried about others investigating.

"Can the county lady heal illnesses?"

The emperor's face showed surprise again. He didn't expect that Shen Ningsi would give him surprises that were bigger than the last.

She was able to cure a disease that even military doctors were helpless to treat!

Such medical skills may not even be matched by the imperial doctors in the capital!

"No one believed it at first, but the facts are now before us. If Your Majesty still doesn't believe it, you can write to the military doctors at the border, or just ask the villagers of Wanning Village about the registered residence of these soldiers. Their villagers can verify it."

Gu Hong also had a very determined expression on his face.

"Very good, very good! This county lady has really surprised me time and time again. It's a pity that she's a girl. If she were a boy, she would definitely be able to do more for our Great Zhao."

The emperor's face once again showed shock. This was the first time someone had shocked him so much since he became the emperor!

"Let's go take a look at the winter wheat field!"

The emperor looked at the soldiers patrolling the winter wheat fields, and an excited expression appeared on his face, as if he didn't want to wait a moment longer.

"Don't you want to go back to the village and rest for a while?"

The Grand Tutor asked with a look of concern.

"No, but let Zhao first settle these more than one hundred Royal Guards and don't disturb the villagers."

The emperor suddenly thought of something, paused and spoke seriously.

After hearing the emperor's order, Zhao Xianxing immediately bowed and retreated, then led more than a hundred imperial guards away.

At the same time, the only ones left by the emperor's side were the Grand Tutor and four guards with superb martial arts skills.

After arranging all this, the emperor got off the carriage and the group slowly walked towards the winter wheat field.
