More than 30 people accompanied him, in order to be fast, they all traveled lightly. Ru Sanshui became Jiang Heng's entourage, so he naturally had to accompany him all the way, so he didn't act alone.

This route is weighed by Rusanshui, three days of horseback, change the waterway, sail along the Yangtze River for one day, and then change the land route for two days, you can reach the south bank of Hongze Lake.

This section of the waterway happened to be missed from the edge of Guyi. If they didn't take the waterway, they would have to ride horses for two more days, and they couldn't spend that time.

If you miss it, you can miss it, even if she has the heart to return to her aunt, she is not in a hurry at this time.

After two days of turbulence, as expected, they changed the waterway when they arrived in Wuhu County, until the capital of the new dynasty, they changed to a land route, and they were not next to each other at all.

Ru Sanshui grew up in the land of fish and rice mountains and rivers, and is very familiar with the ferry.

But Jiang Heng didn't seem to be able to bear it, after all, he migrated from the north, and his face was not good all day.

Fortunately, the weather was sunny and windy, the boat sailed smoothly, and arrived at the imperial capital in the evening.

Ru Sanshui was the first to get off the boat, and turned around and hugged Jiang Heng, Jiang Heng did not accept it, and walked down the edge of the boat by himself.

The entourage led the horse down, Jiang Heng pulled up the reins of his own horse, and did not get on the horse, but walked a long way.

Ru Sanshui casually picked a weed leaf on the side of the road and put it in his mouth to chew, sighing: "It really feels better to be down-to-earth." ”

After walking a few steps, Jiang Heng's face was much better, he turned over and got on his horse, turned his head and saw Ru Sanshui chewing blades of grass like a hare, and asked, "What do you put in your mouth?"

Ru Sanshui felt that the taste was not tender, so he choked off the leaves and said with a smile: "It's just ghost needle grass, the young leaves are edible, and the medicine can also drive away liver fever, it's okay." ”

"Bai Zejun, does this cronie of yours know herbal medicine?" someone suddenly asked.

Jiang Heng looked at Ru Sanshui, Ru Sanshui thought for a while: "I don't understand, there are some commonly used ones, just know a little bit about it." ”

Jiang Heng: "Commonly used?"

Ru Sanshui: "Medicine, poison, those that can be used." But I still like to mash them the most, wipe the wild rabbit pheasant, and stuff the mushroom in the abdominal cavity, it's wonderful!"

Speaking of this, Ru Sanshui touched his stomach: "Oops, I'm hungry." ”

Jiang Heng scolded the horse softly and went forward: "Let's go, go into the city to find supper." But we don't stay in the shop, and you take turns resting on the boat during the day, so we'll take a break and then go on. ”

In fact, you don't have to eat for supper, it's important to hurry, the moonlight is good tonight, and it's suitable for borrowing light. But since Jiang Heng has spoken, Ru Sanshui is also a little interested in having a meal in the Imperial City.

The new capital is located in Yingtianfu, with a branch of Zhongshan Mountain in the north and the Qinhuai River in the south. The new emperor ascended the throne, and in the past two years, he has been building the imperial city and expanding the entire Yingtianfu City.

When I entered the city, I found a street where the night market was quite bustling. After tying up their horses, they sat down in a shop and ordered their own food or noodle soup.

Here they were dusting their clothes and dusting their shoes, and there were other guests dining over there, Jiang Heng waved his hand, signaling them to pay attention and not affect others.

Those guests should be local people, and they chatted without a word: "In order to build the city, the emperor mobilized hundreds of thousands of migrant workers from all over the country to move the three mountains to fill in the birds, and I don't know when this project will be completed." ”

"Whether the world rises or falls, there will always be the suffering of civilians. ”

"Be quiet, this kind of thing is easy to say casually, and be heard by others carefully. ”

Jiang Heng could also hear these words, and in the future, the voice would be quieter, and only Ru Sanshui could hear it clearly.

"If you want to benefit, probably only the Shen family, who is a big family, hoards wood and stones, and earns a sum of official money by building a new capital. ”

Someone said: "Those laborers are moving earth and rocks day and night to fill the lake, and I am watching from the side, and my heart is tired." These businessmen have no conscience, so they take care of their own development. ”

"You can't say that, after all, you will all be from the foot of the imperial city, how can you say that you have not benefited?"

The other seemed to be in business at home, and asked very dissatisfiedly: "What's the matter?"

At this point, there was a mess of noise behind him, and Ru Sanshui didn't bother to listen to it anymore.

Ru Sanshui remembered that when Shen Rongknee introduced himself before, he was particularly complacent and said that he was the Shen family of Yingtianfu, probably the Shen family that these traders said, and his business skills were really solid.

Xiao Er gradually brought up all the food, and even gave Jiang Heng a plate of cut duck on the table.

Jiang Heng picked up the plate: "Do you want to eat?"

Ru Sanshui probably knew what he meant: "I won't eat it, they work hard, give them a point." ”

Thirty people, each of them can probably eat a mouthful of meat, Rao is like this, Ru Sanshui also patiently gave each of them a little bit of the dishes.

Jiang Heng sat in place, and after thinking about it, he spoke loudly: "I haven't asked yet, what do you think of Ru Sanshui?"

Those people looked at each other, some of them understood, and hurriedly replied: "As long as Bai Zejun approves, they are all our brothers!"

Ru Sanshui sat down, shook his head, and whispered: "They are actually not convinced, why bother forcing them to say things against their hearts." ”

Jiang Heng is willing to think about her, and she is happy.

Jiang Heng also whispered: "There are some words that can only be understood when you say them." I'm not trying to get their attitude, I'm trying to make them understand my attitude. They do things so that they can be considerate. ”

Ru Sanshui's eyes lit up: "Thank you." ”

This night was all in a hurry, according to this calculation, it would probably arrive at the south bank of Hongze Lake half a day earlier than originally planned. But then they had to go around to the northwest shore.

When it was just dawn, they were still speeding on horseback. Ru Sanshui heard a crane chirp, looked up and looked, it was indeed a crane of a cake.

The crane followed them, hovering in the sky, and Ru Sanshui looked carefully through the light of the sky, and the cake was not on it, but only a crane.

Ru Sanshui slowed down and shouted, "Rest for a while." ”

Jiang Heng glanced at Ru Sanshui and stopped his horse: "It's time to let the horses rest, rest on the spot, and set off again at dawn." ”

The accompanying horses went to eat grass and drink, and Ru Sanshui walked alone to a rocky plateau.

The crane staggered down, holding a peach-pink brocade rope with a piece of letter paper tied to the end.

Ru Sanshui untied the brocade rope in disgust: "Why is this kid so particular, why can't you just find a rattan and tie it." ”

Ru Sanshui unfolded it and took a look, and there were only two words on the paper, "big murderer". Her expression became serious.

After letting the crane leave, Ru Sanshui returned to the team and explained to Jiang Heng: "This trip is a big murderer, don't continue to chase, I'll do it alone." ”

Someone passing by, hearing this, immediately replied, "We must follow you." ”

Others have also expressed their willingness to go along.

Ru Sanshui turned his head: "Didn't you say that when I was a brother, you didn't trust me so soon?"

"It's because you're a brother that you can't be left alone. ”

As soon as these words came out, Ru Sanshui's heart moved. Did they really treat her as their own? She seemed to be convinced.

Another day's trip, to the south bank of Hongze Lake, the weather is not good, cloudy and foggy, the sky is cloudy.

If they wanted to make a detour along the coast, it would take many hours, so they chose to find a boat to cross it. However, before they reached the lake, they did not see the water's edge, but they were trapped in a dense forest.
