The lanterns along the roadside, the crowds of people coming and going, and the fireworks and firecrackers in the hands of the children created a very harmonious atmosphere.
For a time traveler, such a scene would undoubtedly make him feel comfortable.
Perhaps in such ancient societies, human relationships were more abundant, and people's aspirations for a better life were not so high.
For them, the greatest happiness is simply to have enough to eat and wear, and to avoid freezing in the cold winter.
Just like the owner sitting behind the stall, with a smile on his face and his hands warming by the fire, he sells some goods every day to earn a living for his family. The whole family lives happily and honestly, which is the greatest happiness in a person's life.
A smile unconsciously appeared on Zhu Yunwen's face. Suddenly, as if on a whim, he said to the shopkeeper:
Do you think this change is a good thing?
The boss was taken aback for a moment, probably not expecting what kind of change Zhu Yunwen was referring to.
But he quickly realized what was happening, looked at the fire beneath him, and said:
"Of course it's good. Who would dare to go out and sell goods in this weather before? Obviously not. Now that we have coal, my family doesn't have to suffer from the cold anymore, and I can go out and sell goods while staying warm and cozy."
To be honest, this Crown Prince is truly a good Crown Prince who works for the people. For the people of the world, having a good emperor, crown prince, and grandson is the greatest happiness.
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly, then said:
"I believe things will get better in the future; there is much more he can do than this."
The shop owner smiled and said:
"I hope so."
Zhu Yunwen nodded with satisfaction. He knew that how much he did was not important; what mattered was letting the people know that there was something useful for them, and that was enough.
Just like right now, a small piece of coal may seem insignificant, but the value it brings and the help it provides to the people are absolutely unimaginable.
Once the food problem for most of the people is solved, Zhu Yunwen will be able to worry less about people's livelihoods.
After all, the most important livelihood issues have been largely resolved.
Thinking of this, he turned around and left the stall with Zhao Qingzhu.
The two strolled through the bustling streets and even bought candied hawthorns.
I also had a bowl of hot wonton soup by the roadside.
This rare time alone allowed their feelings for each other to grow stronger without them even realizing it.
After eating and drinking their fill, although it was still early and there were many people on the street, Zhu Yuntong and his companions were a little tired from traveling during the day. So they decided to go back with Zhao Qingzhu to rest for a while.
Just as they were about to leave, a black figure suddenly leaped out from the bustling crowd.
The black figure moved with incredible speed, bursting out of the crowd and rapidly heading towards Zhu Yunwen.
In the dim light of the surrounding lanterns, the man in black held a long sword in his hand, its blade gleaming coldly, and thrust it precisely at Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen was unaware of this, but Zhao Qingzhu, standing beside him, frowned and gave a soft shout:
"careful……"
Then, with that seemingly soft and boneless little hand, she grasped Zhu Yunwen's hand and gently pulled it.
Zhu Yunwen took the opportunity to stand behind Zhu Zhaoqingzhu. Zhaoqingzhu stared at the black-clad man rushing towards her, her face suddenly turning serious. She took out the hairpin that Zhu Yunwen had just bought for her, pulled it out, and casually waved it.
The hairpin flew out like a powerful hidden weapon in an instant, and then struck the black-clad man's longsword with a clang.
The immense force caused the longsword to tremble violently and break in two.
The man in black was also thrown off balance by the immense force, tumbling through the air before crashing heavily to the ground.
Immediately afterward, the man in black got up, turned around and ran. Zhao Qingzhu did not dare to chase after him, but instead protected Zhu Yunwen and carefully looked around.
She worried that it was a diversionary tactic, and even more worried that there were more ambushes around.
Therefore, he never left Zhu Yunwen's side.
Zhu Yunwen remained calm upon seeing this. With Zhao Qingzhu, the legendary third-ranked expert, there were probably few people in the world who could do anything to him.
He also looked around. The surrounding people were in chaos because of the recent incident and quickly retreated.
They cleared a fairly large circle for Zhu Yuntong and Zhao Qingzhu, and then they looked at Zhao Qingzhu and Zhu Yuntong from all sides.
Sure enough, no matter what, people still think watching the excitement is more important.
Zhao Qingzhu's eyes were incredibly sharp at this moment. After scanning the surroundings, she said to Zhu Yunwen:
"There are some assassins hiding around, and they are quite strong. Young master, you must be careful and not leave my side."
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly and asked, "Can you handle it?"
Zhao Qingzhu smiled and said:
"There's no problem with that. I may not be able to do anything to them, but they won't get close to you."
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly, and then said:
"It seems I should learn a couple of self-defense skills from you, otherwise it would be too awkward to rely on you to protect me all the time."
Zhao Qingzhu chuckled: "Okay..."
However, at that moment, several hidden weapons shot out rapidly, heading straight for Zhu Yunwen's face.
Zhao Qingzhu frowned, pulled out a dagger from somewhere on his body, and with a vertical slash, knocked the three throwing knives directly to the ground.
At the same time, two more men in black leaped into the air from behind, wielding long swords and thrusting them diagonally at Zhu Yunwen.
