Chapter 492: Meticulous work
Fortunately, Zhu Youlang's servants finally obtained permission to pass through the fort after laying down their weapons.
This fort is built on a dangerous mountain road, and if you can go around it without passing here, you don't know how long it will take.
It's just that without the sword in his hand, the army naturally can't be called an army.
Zhu Youlang and his entourage looked like a group of fleeing victims from a distance.
Zhu Youlang rode on a jujube red horse, his eyes full of exhaustion.
He really didn't understand how a good hand could be played like this by him.
Judging from the current situation, there is no difference between him and the lost dog, right?
But if you want to live, you have to agree to all the demands of the Annanes. Even if they threw out a meat bone, Zhu Youlang also had to follow.
After walking through the mountains, we finally came to the plains.
Zhu Youlang looked at it and found that the scene here was no different from Guangxi.
Paddy fields, farmers, cattle, shepherd boys.
Even the costumes and hair accessories are exactly the same, which makes Zhu Youlang feel like a world away.
It would be nice if he was still in Daming.
Faintly, he had some regrets. If he hadn't been carried away by power and rebelled, he should still be able to be the idle King Gui in peace now, right?
But now it's all impossible.
From the moment he raised his army, there was no turning back.
Even if the road ahead is a road of no return, he must continue to walk.
Zhu Youlang sighed, tightened the reins of his horse and continued to ride forward.
And just after Zhu Youlang and his party left the fort, the Annan general immediately sent his own soldiers to Thang Long to report the news.
He wanted to tell the king that the Ming army had been completely disarmed, and that there was no need to worry about them doing anything out of the ordinary.
A group of soldiers without weapons might as well be called Hanako!

Ah Niu got up early as usual, carried a wooden bucket and went to the town to fetch water.
Since the victims decided to settle here, they naturally had to think about everything.
With so many people gathered, drinking water is naturally a big problem.
Naturally, they could not always go to the city to fetch water, so they dug a well at the entrance of the town, and all water was drawn from here.
Ah Niu came to the entrance of the town with a wooden barrel, although it was still the morning light, but there were already many people in line.
Ah Niu frowned, but he was still at the end of the line.
He yawned and closed his eyes for a nap.
The cold winter morning was very cold, and everyone was shivering with cold.
Ah Niu doesn't let himself think about this, so he can feel a lot warmer.
The others are much worse off than others.
They shivered from the cold and let out one whining after another.
In the woods not far away, several Dongchang fans stared directly at these water fetchers.
"Boss, I think there's something strange about that man. It's so cold, but he's like he's nothing. And looking at the straight way he stands, he doesn't look like a fleeing victim, but I think he looks like a tartar. ”
"It's too early to tell. In my opinion, let's observe and observe. ”
"Okay. But chief, we have to be careful not to let this kid notice. ”
"Of course."
Dongchang's fan is very shady, so Ah Niu didn't notice it.
After a long time, when it was finally his turn, he went to the well to get water, and first put the empty bucket at the bottom of the well, then filled it and lifted it up with all his might.
In this way, he was satisfied with two full barrels, and he was satisfied with one bucket on each side and turned away.
Today, the town is much more orderly than it was when it was first formed, and everyone considers it home.
Ah Niu greeted some acquaintances as usual, and before he knew it, he had returned to the door of his home.
He lowered the barrel and pushed the door, but it didn't open.
Ah Niu couldn't help frowning.
He left too early and didn't lock the door. Is someone getting up now? Or was there someone here?
He immediately looked around vigilantly, and saw that no one was slightly relieved.
"Brother Liu, it's time to open the door. I am back. ”
Ah Niu stepped forward and knocked on the door, and not long after Liu He came to open the door.
"Ah Niu is back, I fetched two buckets of water this time, haha it's enough today."
Ah Niu smiled and said, "Let's go in and talk." ”
Liu He hurriedly let Ah Niu in.
Ah Niu entered the house and immediately locked the door, and said in a low voice: "Has anyone been here since I left?" ”
Liu He scratched his head and said, "No." What's wrong? ”
"We're being targeted. Someone is going to do something to us. ”
Liu He was startled and subconsciously took a step back.
"No, who cares about us victims."
Ah Niu smiled miserably: "That's not necessarily. Maybe people think we're Tartars. ”
Liu He snorted and laughed: "What are you talking about? Tartar's finesse? Why don't you say that we are the emperors of the Tartars? Will anyone believe in this kind of thing? ”
"I'm just kidding."
Newton paused, "But we're definitely being targeted." I don't know who is staring at us, or what their purpose is. So we'd better not act rashly now. ”
Ah Niu swallowed and foamed: "When I went to fetch water in the morning, I felt that the atmosphere was not quite right, and I always felt that someone was secretly watching me, and now I have confirmed this point of view." ”
Liu He was stunned for a moment and said, "Don't scare me." We are all good citizens, and we haven't done anything hurtful, why do people want to stare at me? I've never even eaten dead human flesh. ”
On their way from Beizhili to Shandong, many of them ate the bark of the tree and began to gnaw on the carrion on the corpses.
Liu He felt that it was too disgusting and endured it.
Later, those who had eaten the carrion died.
Liu He was even more glad of his original decision.
This must be that Lord Yama can't stand it anymore and takes those guys who eat human flesh away.
"This world doesn't want us to live."
Ah Niu spread his hands and made a look of indifference.
"But we don't want to go along with him, so we want to live a famous life."
Ah Niu's voice became colder and colder: "Brother Liu, you should be careful in the future, go out and observe more, and see if anyone is watching in the dark." ”
When Ah Niu said this, Liu He's heart was also a little drumming.
"Okay, then I'll keep an eye on it and take a second look."
Ah Niu smiled and nodded: "That's fine." ”
With that, he walked towards the makeshift room.
"Today, I'll boil sweet potato porridge for Brother Liu, steam mashed potatoes and eat it."
As soon as he heard the sweet potato porridge and mashed potatoes, Liu He naturally swallowed his saliva.
"Hey, your kid's skills are really good. If I really don't know how to cook, I really want to worship you as a teacher and let you teach me. ”
He followed Ah Niu to the room, looked at Ah Niu's skillful fire and pot, and said with a smile: "Now, I'll be cheeky and wait to eat ready-made." ”
