At this time, Gu Hong also followed closely behind him.

Although the temperature was still a little chilly at this time, the emperor's face showed an expression of enjoyment when he smelled the fragrance of rice emanating from the winter wheat fields.

The Taifu's face was filled with excitement, and he kept pointing at the winter wheat with golden ears in the field, and his tone was a little incoherent.

"This is truly the scene of the heyday of our Great Zhao!"

The emperor looked at the golden ears of wheat with their full grains, which made him feel even better. The fatigue brought by the long journey disappeared in an instant.

"It is a great achievement, and it also shows that our Great Zhao is becoming more and more glorious under the leadership of Your Majesty."

The Grand Tutor's face was filled with excitement. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it at all.

"Hahaha……"

After the emperor heard what the tutor said, he was immediately delighted.

“Who is it?”

When everyone was walking happily in the winter wheat field, suddenly Da Liu and Tong Youcai, a few others, came over from not far away with sticks in their hands.

When the emperor's guards saw this, they immediately protected them behind them.

“Don’t be rude!”

When Gu Hong saw this scene, he suddenly felt a headache!

Unexpectedly, Liu Da and his men would appear here at this time, and even raised their sticks towards the emperor.

"General?"

Da Liu and others also saw Gu Hong at this time, and each of them showed excitement on their faces. Then they realized something, threw the sticks in their hands aside, and ran over in a hurry.

"This is the soldier who was injured at the border."

When Gu Hong saw them coming, he said something to the emperor and then walked in front of the guards to prevent them from being hurt by mistake.

"oh?"

When the emperor heard him say this, he looked at these people seriously.

They all ran over here full of energy, they didn't look like they were seriously injured at all.

"General, you've been in the capital for almost a month! Does your wife know when you'll be back? Miss An An, Young Master Kang Kang, and Young Master Xiu Wen Xiu Wu would definitely be very happy if they knew!!!"

When Liu Da saw Gu Hong coming back, he was also excited.

"Alright, now's not the time to reminisce. Kneel down and greet the Imperial Envoy from the capital!"

Gu Hong spoke seriously, and everyone knelt down without any hesitation when they heard him say this.

"Sir, I hope you won't blame them for their embarrassing recklessness. They have always been dedicated to their duty and have been protecting this wheat field."

Gu Hong also knelt aside at this time.

I was afraid that the emperor would be angry and punish these people.

"Hahaha... It's okay! It's okay! They are not guilty of ignorance!" The emperor shook his head with a smile on his face, not caring at all about the unintentional actions of those people just now.

And my mood has become even better.

"Having said that, they are still meritorious officials! If it weren't for their dedicated efforts in protecting this piece of winter wheat, perhaps I wouldn't be able to witness this prosperous scene!"

The emperor did not call himself "I" at this moment. After all, he was traveling incognito, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

"Thank you, sir!"

These people have all been in the military camp and know what to do when they see the officials, so they are neither humble nor arrogant when they say this.

"Alright, when the Emperor sent us here this time, he said that he would reward us for our hard work. You guys should continue patrolling this winter wheat field."

Seeing that the emperor did not blame him, Gu Hong felt relieved.

It is said that serving the king is like serving a tiger, so he should be more vigilant.

It was the first time for these people to see such a nervous expression on Gu Hong's face, but he didn't say much. He then bowed to them and walked back to pick up the weapons he had just dropped and left.

"Is this the power you possess to control your subordinates? I didn't expect that they would still obey your orders after they had already left the barracks."

Of course, the emperor had no suspicion of Gu Hong, otherwise he would not have told him about the winter wheat.

"We were close friends in the military camp, and my wife cured them. They are also real men. They came here on their own accord, without anyone asking them to come."

Gu Hong looked at the backs of this group of people as they left, with an expression of extreme sadness on his face.

It is his blessing to have such a brother.

"Hey, General Gu, what you said is wrong! People are interdependent. If you hadn't taken care of them back then, these people might not be walking around the fields as freely and unrestrainedly as they are today."

The Grand Tutor also knew that most of the seriously injured soldiers would not have an easy time after returning from the battlefield, so the amount of compensation given to them by the court was not too low.

But most of them will be given to their families. Even if they don’t, some of the seriously injured ones have no way to take care of themselves, and those who are able to take care of themselves will be snatched away by others.

Although the court has repeatedly made these demands, the emperor is far away after all.

"Okay, let's stop talking about these things and continue to take a look inside!"

It was obvious that the emperor was in a very good mood at this moment.

As everyone was walking, they suddenly saw a very pretty figure in front of them. Although she was wearing coarse clothes, her exquisite figure could still be seen.

When Gu Hong saw this figure, he stopped in his tracks.

"Um?"

The emperor also noticed the strange look on Gu Hong's face. When he looked at the petite figure not far away, a look of understanding appeared on his face.

At this time, Shen Ningsi was holding a homemade quill pen in his hand, writing and drawing on the paper beside him, and observing the winter wheat in the field from time to time.

Suddenly she heard footsteps behind her.

Shen Ningsi was also very confused. If Da Liu and the others saw him here, they would definitely greet him in advance.

Thinking of this, she turned around very nervously.

Suddenly, Gu Hong appeared in her sight, and Shen Ningsi was stunned when she saw this scene.

"When did you come back?"

Thousands of words only uttered this one sentence.

“Just arrived!”

Although Gu Hong was very excited, he also knew that the emperor was right beside him.

So, try your best to control your emotions.

"Sisi, this is the imperial envoy sent by the Emperor, and this is the Prince's tutor!"

Gu Hong walked over at this time and introduced Shen Ningsi.

After listening to this, Shen Ningsi immediately bowed to these people.

The emperor looked at Shen Ningsi with a smile on his face at this time, and stretched out his hand to stroke his beard.

I didn't expect that the so-called village girl would be so beautiful and graceful.

And she also has a gentle and elegant temperament.

Even if she was said to be the legitimate daughter of a royal noble, the emperor would still believe it.

"Greetings, everyone! I'm sure you all value winter wheat. If there's anything you don't understand, I'll be happy to share it with you!"
