After seeing Yongning off, Jiang Wan'er walked to the desk and sat down, letting out a long breath.
In fact, she was also reluctant to see Zhao Hao leave.
If it was before, when she was kidnapped, she didn't feel like this.
At that time, I was anxious.
Worry more.
Worried that Zhao Hao would not be able to come back alive, worried that Zhao Hao would be forced to surrender to the enemy.
I was worried that I would not be able to explain to Yongning, and I was also worried that I would not be able to explain to Zhao Wenxiang.
In short, it's all worry.
But I didn't take it seriously and there was no drastic emotional fluctuation.
Even though she had been frank with Zhao Hao, Zhao Hao had not yet entered her heart.
However, since Zhao Hao came back this time, the relationship between the two can be said to have heated up rapidly.
Zhao Hao has already entered her heart.
So, when Zhao Hao left at this moment, she also felt the same as Yongning.
But at this moment, no one could come to comfort her.
But, she is not an ordinary person. Faced with this sad emotion, Jiang Wan'er did not resist it. Instead, she tried to experience it and get closer to it.
So, she quickly adjusted and began to enjoy the feeling a little.
Enjoy this reluctance, enjoy this longing.
…
The carriage headed south.
In the carriage, Wang Mengyu and Zheng Zhiqian sat opposite Zhao Hao.
Wang Mengyu asked, "Brother Hao, so we are going to Qinzhou to build an iron smelting workshop?"
Zheng Zhiqian next to him rolled his eyes and said, "You finally understood. It's really not easy!"
Wang Mengyu immediately said angrily: "Can you blame me for this? No one told me this from the beginning to the end!"
Zheng Zhiqian waved his hands in disdain and said, "Alright, alright, listen to Brother Hao."
Zhao Hao shook his head: "Actually there's not much to say. The general situation is that we are going to build an iron smelting workshop there."
"But since I'm the one going, it means this workshop is different from previous ones."
"You will know the details when the time comes."
"You two should pay more attention this time. You have already made contributions in the papermaking workshop and the porcelain workshop."
"If I do well this time, I won't have to live under anyone's control anymore."
Wang Mengyu's eyes widened immediately and asked, "Brother Hao, does this include you?"
Zhao Hao immediately glared at him fiercely: "Get out of here!"
After saying that, Zhao Hao lay down, and Wang Mengyu and Zheng Zhiqian opened the car curtain and returned to their own car.
Not long after, another group of people quickly caught up from behind.
The convoy stopped and waited for a while, and a small group of people approached.
Then, a beautiful middle-aged woman slowly walked up.
Zhao Hao jumped out of the car, walked to the woman, took her arm, and led her to his car.
This woman is Zhuoya.
When the news was passed on to the imperial farm, not only Wang Mengyu and Zheng Zhiqian were notified, but also Zhuo Ya.
This is a woman who can endure hardships, so it is most appropriate to bring her along.
Moreover, this trip will be a long one, so it would be better to bring it with me.
As soon as she entered the carriage, Zhuo Ya threw herself into Zhao Hao's arms.
Zhao Hao stroked his back gently and said softly, "The environment in Qinzhou this time is quite harsh."
"Anyway, you've had a life of luxury in the past."
“It’s going to be hard this time.”
Zhuo Ya shook her head: "As long as I can serve you all the time, I am not afraid of any hardship."
Zhao Hao just smiled and pinched his face.
Zhuo Ya asked curiously, "Sir, what are you going to do on this trip?"
Zhao Hao nodded: "It is to do something important."
Seeing that Zhao Hao didn't want to go into details, she stopped asking.
Holding Zhuo Ya in his arms, Zhao Hao lifted the side curtain, looked at Qingniao and asked, "Miss Qingniao, Qinzhou and Tongshan are not too far apart."
"Can we change our route and go to Tongshan first?"
Bluebird was riding on a horse and turned to look at him.
"Sir, if we change the route to Tongshan, it will only take more than ten days. Is there something you want to do in Tongshan?"
"Nothing, I just want to take a look at those people."
"The team escorting the pension should have arrived at Tongshan by now. With this money, I believe the people will be able to live a better life."
"But I want to go and see it with my own eyes."
Qingniao's eyes moved, and he said, "His Majesty has ordered us to obey the Duke's orders in everything."
"If you really want to go, I will obey you."
Zhao Hao smiled softly and nodded when he heard this: "In that case, let's go to Tongshan first."
The road conditions of the official road were still good, and Zhao Hao's carriage had been modified by him, so the carriage was well padded.
Moreover, we have just started, so it is not too hard.
By midnight, they were already forty or fifty miles away from the capital.
After consulting Zhao Hao, Qingniao ordered the team to find an open space next to the pipeline and stop to rest.
Zhao Hao and Zhuo Ya also got off the carriage.
Wang Mengyu, Zheng Zhiqian, Wusong, Hongye, and a bluebird gathered around a campfire, had a simple meal, and then exercised for a while.
Then they returned to their own carriages to rest.
As soon as Zhao Hao lay down on his back, Zhuo Ya fell on top of him.
"Sir, how many days will it take to reach Qinzhou?"
Zhao Hao said, "According to the current speed, it will take about 20 days. If we ride a horse at full speed, it will take 14 or 15 days."
Zhuo Ya said: "It's so far, it's as far as from Chahan City to the Royal Court."
At this point, her eyes moved and she quickly said, "Sir, I'm sorry..."
Zhao Hao smiled and shook his head: "It's all in the past, don't take it to heart."
"Speaking of which, it's still farther from Chahan City to the Savage King's Court."
Zhuo Ya nodded: "Sir, do you know any famous places in Qinzhou?"
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "I'm really not sure. I just know that it's one of the two iron mines I work in."
"However, it is in the south after all, so the scenery should be pretty good, at least better than the Imperial Capital."
"Compared to your grassland, it's a completely different style."
Zhuo Ya said: "Indeed, I have never been to the south of the Central Plains. This time I can fully appreciate it."
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "When we get to Qinzhou, you can do whatever you want. I may not have much time to accompany you."
"So, you have to find something fun to do to pass the time."
Zhuo Ya said softly, "I won't interfere with what you do, young master."
Zhao Hao shook his head: "I'm not afraid of your influence, I'm just worried that you're too bored."
Zhuo Ya said, "No, compared to being in the Imperial Capital, I feel freer this time when I go to Qinzhou."
As she spoke, her hand slowly slid down.
