Chapter 155 Huang Zhuang(1/2)
Zhou E urged the horse to move forward and squinted her eyes at the two horses rushing towards her.
Li Ran stopped the horse and landed behind Zhou E. Seeing the two horses, they quickly rushed to a distance where they could see clearly.
Immediately, the two men looked about twenty years old. They looked like two brothers, and they were both in a mature robe.
In a blink of an eye, the two rushed a few feet away from Zhou E and stopped their horses.
The younger man looked not very friendly and saw Li Ran from Zhou E. The older man smiled and held the whip in one hand and bowed, "You are going the wrong way, right?"
"I took the wrong path. When I saw a village, I came here, took a drink of water, took a break, and asked for the way.
Is this the two Zhuangzi?" Zhou E also bowed and said carelessly.
"That's right." The older men looked at everyone one by one.
"We came from Cao County and were going to Jin County. We wanted to take a shortcut, but we didn't expect to get lost. Isn't this far from Jin County?"
Zhou E bowed her hand again and kept talking.
"Another one hundred miles away." The older man waved his whip and pointed towards Jinxian.
"That's good! Take a break, drink two cups of tea, and you'll be there in one breath.
These two horses are well raised! Our horses are hungry too. If there are barley and black beans, it is better to add a few chickens and two noble surnames?"
Zhou E was talking, as if she had just remembered it and asked casually.
"Don't let your surname be Huang." The older man still stood up against Zhou E and did not mean to turn around and take them into the village.
"Who is you from Huangzhuang?" Zhou E said oh and asked suddenly.
"Who are you?" the young man asked.
The older man raised his hand to signal the young man, and looked at Zhou E and Li Ran again, "Is it my father. How many of them came from the capital?"
"The Prince's Mansion in the Capital." Zhou E answered very readily.
The young man's face changed slightly, and the older man's face froze slightly. After a moment, he bowed and smiled: "Is it General Zhou? Please forgive me. There are many scattered soldiers in this area, and even women are not careless. This person is?"
The older man looked at Li Ran.
"My surname is Li." Li Ran replied with a smile.
"Our princess." Zhou E followed Li Ran's word Li and said with a smile.
"Dropping off the horse!"
The older man tapped the young man with a horse whip. The two of them got off the horse one after another. The young man bowed, stood up straight, looked at Li Ran, met Li Ran's gaze, immediately avoided, took two steps back, and stood behind the older man.
"I am the first son of Huangzhuang, named Boyuan. This is my younger brother, Bojun. I don't know if it's the princess who has arrived, but I'm just disrespectful.
Third brother, go and invite my dad out and welcome the princess!”
Huang Boyuan bowed a long time, smiled and accompanied the gift, and ordered Huang Bojun.
Huang Bojun didn't sound, and turned around and galloped away in the direction of his journey.
"Here, what do you call your father?" Li Ran didn't look at Huang Bojun who was galloping away, but just looked at Huang Boyuan and asked with a smile.
"My father is older and there are some people who are looking forward to it."
After a pause, Huang Boyuan added.
"In addition, the person who was in charge of the royal palace was also in charge, and most people in the countryside would respectfully call him."
"It should be very much." Li Ran smiled.
"Just get ahead, take a break, have a cup of tea, and you have to leave quickly."
Zhou E turned the horse whip, looking at Li Ran talking without caring about it.
"You can't ride, you can't run away. There are still more than a hundred miles to Jinxian County. If you don't hurry up, it will be troublesome if you can't get into the city when it gets dark. We don't even bring a tent.
This place is not like the capital, like the places like Cao County and Jin County. When it arrives at night, the city gate will be closed. Let me tell you, even if the prince arrives, he can't open the door!
But the prince must have arrived in Jinxian earlier than us. If the prince is in the city, the gate of this city will have to be opened as soon as you shout."
"Did the princess come from Cao County?" Huang Boyuan led his horse and walked in front of Li Ran, raised his head and asked with a smile.
"Hey, I didn't say that I just now, go from Cao County to Jin County, and take a shortcut to you."
Zhou E stared at Huang Boyuan, and why did you still ask?
"I thought it was General Zhou's words to cover up." Huang Boyuan smiled.
"Cover? What are you covering up? You are scared by the stragglers?
This area, further west... has to be dozens of miles? It is the boundary that can be patrolled there. This is the precise boundary of the imperial court.
In the territory of the court, what should I hide my identity as a princess? It’s too late to show off!
Besides, now, from Cao County to Jin County, go there, go there."
Zhou E's horse whip was pulled east and west.
"It's densely packed, all of them are the army of the court. Marquis Li is the vanguard and the prince is the head coach. The identity of the princess is still to be concealed in the imperial court area, and his own village is still needed?
You kid didn’t grow up, you were scared, right?”
"I was really frightened too much." Huang Boyuan smiled and admitted readily that he was really scared.
Li Ran smiled and listened to Zhou E's nonsense.
Zhou E was vigilant and nervous. She also felt that at least two brothers of Huang Boyuan were unusual in this Zhuangzi. They were extremely unwelcome and even hated her arrival.
Huang Boyuan led the horse to lead the way, talking while walking. He walked very slowly, and everyone followed him very slowly.
After walking out for only half a mile, Huangzhuang led a few men dressed in long-term workers and walked and ran to meet him.
Miao Zhong jumped off his horse and walked forward to Huangzhuang. "Old Huang."
"Manager Miao is here, I'll greet the princess first, let's talk." Huang Zhuang kept walking, explained to Miao Zhong, then went forward, and knelt on the ground facing Li Ran.
"Helping up quickly, there is no need to be too polite." Li Ran hurriedly signaled to Miao Zhong.
Zhou E didn't look at Huang Zhuang's head, but only glanced at Huang Boyuan.
Huang Boyuan threw the reins to a long-term worker, and before Miao Zhong, he picked up the head of Huangzhuang.
"We passed by here and came to take a look. It was busy farming now, and it was really disturbing."
Li Ran bowed immediately, extremely polite.
"The princess is so polite, she can't afford to disturb her.
The princess invited me, the princess came just right, and the grain had just been harvested from the field. I asked the prince and the princess for their blessings. This year, the weather was good and the harvest was good. It was just right for the princess to see the harvest."
Huang Zhuang bowed his head and gave in, walked in front of Li Ran's horse, and said with a smile while walking.
"I was going to ask Manager Miao to come over and explain to you. But now I missed it, it would be fine, just in person to explain to you."
Li Ran looked at Huangzhuang and smiled.
"You should know that the court is going to use troops to Shu. This battle may take one or two months, or one or two years. Our farm is between the two places and on the battlefield.
After rushing these days, I packed up the grain and distributed it to everyone, so that everyone could retreat to the east of Cao County, Jinxian, and avoid it.
I tell you that in an extraordinary time, it is most important to be able to take care of your life. Don’t bring too much outside of your body. You are the same. You don’t have to take care of the farm tools and even the plowing oxen. After the war, you can just add it."
"Yes!" Huang Zhuangtou nodded repeatedly, "This is the princess' grace. Everyone says that the princess is merciful... I thank you very much for the princess, and I also thank you for the pain in the village."
When the group entered the village, the husband of Huangzhuang and his wife were already waiting at the entrance of the village.
Li Ran and others got off the horse, and Zhou E kept complaining, carrying everyone's thorns and urging them to leave quickly.
Zijia and others, Huangzhuang's wife and several mothers talked softly about the princess' pickiness, and asked for the stove, copper pot and tea bowl. Wang Cui personally carried water out of the well, poured out a bucket, and then took out a bucket. He then picked up the third bucket of water to Zijia.
According to Ziqian's publicity, this is the princess's attention. The first two buckets of water are not clean, and it will only take until the third bucket of water.
When he was making tea, Li Ran asked in detail how many tenants there were in the village, how poor and rich, where they had relatives, and whether each family could leave.
After hesitating, he discussed with Huangzhuangtou whether to share the grain with the tenants or to pull the grain to Cao County or Jin County and sell it to them.
After discussing the tea, Li Ran could not make a decision, so hesitated and handed over the problem to Huangzhuang Head.
After drinking a cup of tea, Li Ran tossed and explained for a while and hurriedly left, only caring about others and not caring about things. With Zhou E's urging, she got on the horse and slowly walked out of the village with her horse.
After leaving the village, Zhou E looked around and said to Li Ran: "Let Wang Cui and the others protect you and return to Jinxian quickly. Zijia and the others follow me and walk slowly behind to see if there is any demon moth."
"Okay." Li Ran responded very quickly.
Ziqi hurriedly rushed forward a little while taking off the outermost clothes while signaling Li Ran, "I will change clothes with the princess."
"What is the difference between your clothes and the princess? A rough person like me can't tell you at all. What about peaches, you can change them."
Zhou E stretched out her horse whip and pointed the purple eggplant, indicating that the peach blossoms that had been following the thick mother.
Tao Nong smiled and urged her to step forward, handing Li Ran the thick gray dress on her body to Li Ran, "No need to take it off. If you wear it outside, I'll just wear this one inside. It's so hot that it's just cool."
Li Ran took the clothes and put them on, mixed them between Wang Cui and others, and rode forward.
Zhou E walked slowly while looking around vigilantly.
