Chapter 183 Entering the Territory of Shihanzhou
"Sister, did I perform well?" Shen Yunzheng rushed over and hugged Shen Yunyue's legs to curry favor with her.
"Yun Zheng is very powerful."
Shen Yunyue pinched the bun on the little guy's head.
Mo Yiran's heart relaxed. She was really afraid that the children would be beaten by others.
In the past, Mo Yiran felt that it was pitiful for everyone to be exiled together, and that as long as they did not fight or compete, they could live in peace.
Ever since she saw the He family trying to use wolves to kill them a few days ago, the little devil in her heart started to come online.
It turns out that just because you don’t fight or compete, it doesn’t mean others won’t fight or compete.
Seeing the He family members being beaten, I felt extremely happy.
Just now, when he rushed over, Mo Yiran grabbed He Luxue's mother and violently pulled her hair. Now her hands were still shaking with excitement.
Look at He Luxue's poisonous eyes.
She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and sneer smugly, stretching out her palm and pinching a few hairs between her nails.
Mo Yiran blew his hair away in disdain and said to Liu Xiaoyun happily:
"Sister-in-law, if something like this happens in the future, we should work together."
Liu Xiaoyun smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, do you understand Yunyue's difficulties?"
Mo Yiran:……
Her eyes were red and she sighed:
"My eyes and heart were once covered with cow dung."
"I will learn from you in the future."
Mo Yiran came to Shen Yunyue and Fu Xuanheng, moved his mouth but couldn't say anything.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Yunyue looked at her suspiciously, her expression suddenly turning cold. "Who hit you?"
"Your mother is also skilled in fighting. I'm just too timid to start." Mo Yiran glared at her angrily, "From now on, I will protect you."
Fu Xuanheng: ...? What's that wind blowing?
Shen Yunyue: ...not normal?
The two exchanged glances, indicating that they didn't understand.
"Mom, we have to hurry. Let's get on the carriage quickly." Shen Yunyue gently pulled Mo Yiran's sleeve.
"Oh, I understand."
It wasn't until Mo Yiran got on the carriage that he despised himself for not being able to even say a word of apology.
The He family was in chaos again.
Everyone hurriedly carried Old Man He Er onto the carriage, and called on his followers to dig a hole to bury Feng Bu.
The women of the family rushed to the carriage and applied ointment to the injured child.
After a busy period, the wheels of the carriage began to roll.
The driver, Da Niu, said outside, "Miss Yue, I saw that Feng Bu died without closing his eyes."
"snort."
Shen Yunyue snorted coldly. He had chosen his own path. Back then, the deposed Crown Princess had treated Feng Bu so well. Yet, Feng Bu still chose to side with Old Master He. Even if he regretted it before his death, what good would that do?
Da Niu said nothing more and concentrated on driving.
The journey from then on was peaceful.
Even He Luxue, who is always making trouble, seems like a transparent person.
Day after day.
That day, Shen Yunyue rubbed her waist which was a little sore from traveling for days.
I accidentally saw the three words "Shi Hanzhou" written on the boundary marker outside.
"Have we arrived at Shihanzhou?"
Shen Yunyue had an idea and wore less and less clothes these days.
I was so busy getting on the road that I didn't even bother to look around.
"We have entered the territory of Shihanzhou. It will take another three days to reach our destination." Fu Xuanheng closed the book he was reading.
"This place is close to the Southern Li Kingdom and the Western Xia Kingdom. The people in these two places are fierce and sturdy, while the people of the Great Zhou are relatively gentle.
Shihan Prefecture is the place most harassed by the Southern Li Kingdom and the Western Yu Kingdom."
Fu Xuanheng kept telling Shen Yunyue something.
Shen Yunyue listened with great interest.
"How do you know? It's not in the travel notes." Shen Yunyue couldn't help but look at him suspiciously.
Fu Xuanheng clenched his fist and pressed it under his nose.
He said with a wry smile:
“These are books that rarely appear on the market.”
"For example?"
"For example (the things I had to say about the royal families of various countries during my years as an envoy), (the bloody secrets of the aristocratic families you think of, which I know)
(The princess's marriage to a foreign country, and the difficult choice between her natal family and her husband's family)...” Fu Xuanheng's voice became lower and lower.
Shen Yunyue: .... Anyone who has read two books would not be able to come up with such a ridiculous and brainless name.
"Is this what you're reading? What could possibly support a young prince's love for reading such gossip-filled, gory, and secret books?"
"I've never seen a book title like this before." Fu Xuanheng raised his eyebrows and whispered. "The content is not bad, but it's a bit exaggerated.
But I can still see what is real.”
The tips of Fu Xuanheng's ears were red, and he rarely looked embarrassed.
Shen Yunfeng and the others all looked at them in confusion. What the hell were those books they were just talking about?
"Brother-in-law, can you lend it to me?" Shen Yunfeng asked embarrassedly.
I feel so ashamed when I hear the title of this book.
"No more. Those books were burned by my father. He said that I was ignorant and read some weird books all day long." Fu Xuanheng said calmly.
To be honest, those books are actually quite good.
It was a way of expression he had never seen before, easy to understand yet humorous and melodramatic.
Shen Yunyue always felt that something flashed through her mind, but she couldn't catch it.
Along one side of the official road was a wide river. Across the river were the Taiping Mountains, which were disputed by the Great Zhou Kingdom, Nanli Kingdom, and the Western Xia Kingdom.
The Taiping Mountains are located on the border of the Three Kingdoms and extend into the territory of the Three Kingdoms.
There are constant bandit problems here.
It has always been a place with poor mountains, bad water and dense miasma, even more terrifying than Lingnan.
Shen Yunyue lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the farmers working in the fields.
Each one is skinny and bony, working in the fields with an expressionless expression. Simple farm tools create the hope of a good harvest in the hands of these hardworking and simple farmers.
It is now the end of February.
Pink buds shyly emerge from the peach tree, and the breeze brings a burst of fragrance.
"The land here is not very fertile, so people naturally have a hard time." These days, Shen Yunyue uses her consciousness to enter the space to read books and learn acupuncture.
I also read some books on agriculture and engineering.
Fu Xuanheng looked outside through the car curtain, his deep eyes darkening.
"Shihan Prefecture is also a no-man's land. Here, whoever has the stronger fist has the final say." His words were filled with a sense of determination. "The governor of Shihan Prefecture is from an old and established family here."
"No Man's Land?"
Shen Yunyue raised her eyebrows and said, "It's better than being at the foot of the imperial city."
"I think so too." Fu Xuanheng stretched out his hand and twisted the jade ring on his finger.
Suddenly, his face turned serious.
His ears moved, and Fu Xuanheng said coldly:
"Someone is coming, quite a few of them. They are all on horseback."
As he spoke, Fu Xuanheng stuck his head out and said to Peng Scarface outside:
"Sir, someone is coming towards us. Is it friend or foe?"
"Hmph. If the enemy comes, we will fight him; if the water comes, we will block it with earth. No matter if they are enemies or friends." Scarface Peng has been running around for the past few months and his temper has become worse and worse.
"Monkey, tell everyone to be careful."
Having said that, Scarface Peng still roared.
The monkey patted the horse and ran forward, "Yes."
The monkey also shouted, and before he finished his words, an arrow flew through the air.
When the monkey heard the sound, he quickly lowered his head and dodged.
The arrow passed by his scalp and directly hit the roof of the Lu family's carriage behind him.
The Lu family was so scared that they screamed.
Then more than a dozen horses surrounded them, all of them were tall and strong.
The clothes worn by the people on horseback were no different from those worn by the common people of the Great Zhou, but there were still some subtle differences.
The leader had a long beard and eyes as big as copper bells.
He held a pair of large hammers in his hands, and his laughter was as lively as the gongs and drums at a meeting.
"Hahaha... It looks like there is something here. These horses are worth a lot of money." The bearded man hit hard with the hammer in both hands, and the buzzing sound was deafening.
Shu Bao and Liu Feifei's son was immediately frightened and burst into tears.
The two little guys, Shen Yunzheng and Fu Xuansheng, poked their heads out.
I saw the big hammer and compared it with my head.
Swallowed silently.
My goodness, that hammer is bigger than their heads.
Shen Yunzheng compared Fu Xuansheng's head and said with horror:
"Brother Xuansheng, if you get hit by a sledgehammer, you'll turn into the pancakes sold in town."
Fu Xuansheng nodded with a sad face, "You are the same as me, maybe even flatter than me."
The two of them said in unison, "It's over."
The monkey scratched his ears and stared at them unhappily. "Who are you? We are escorting exiled commoners to Shihan Prefecture under the Emperor's order."
"Hahaha. Boss, this skinny monkey said he was following the emperor's order." The black-faced man riding a black horse opposite smiled with contempt.
"Would I be afraid of your dog emperor?"
Monkey: .... Calling me a skinny monkey, is that polite of you?
"Aren't you the people of my Great Zhou?" The monkey clenched the machete in his hand.
The dark-faced man spat, "You skinny monkey, what good is it to be a citizen of your Great Zhou?"
"Will he be beheaded, have his property confiscated and be exiled at any time?"
Shen Yunyue: .... Wow, if I didn't hate the sound of hammers, I'd really like to applaud him and say he's absolutely right.
Fu Xuanheng:……
"I tell you. Leave the horses and the things on the carriage. If I'm in a good mood, I'll consider sparing your lives." Seeing the monkey's face darken, the black-faced man became more arrogant and wanton.
