Although the streets of Hokyung are wide, Zhou Zheng is not the only one who escapes the flood. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The streets are full of people fleeing the floods, and their homes are the same as the Imperial Palace, they are flooded by the flooded water, and there is no way to live in them, God knows when the house will collapse, what if they are buried while they are still sleeping? So it's safer to escape, at least don't worry about whether the house will collapse.

In contrast, Zhou Zheng's situation is much better, at least there is a carriage for travel, and the people who flee around are the real victims, whether it is men, women, old or young, everyone has a big burden on their backs, which contains all the valuable items that they can take away from their homes, even pots and pans have to be carried on their bodies, the people with better conditions drive ox carts, and there is a family on the car, and the poor conditions are pushed by the middle-aged men in the family, and the family is sitting on the car, and the women carry huge burdens to help the men push the carts. The conditions were even worse for the men carrying the flat burdens, the baskets at both ends with the children and other belongings, and the women and the elderly followed the men, even their clothes were a little thin, and they walked slowly through the muddy rain on the ground.

Looking at the situation of the people fleeing outside the carriage, Zhou Zheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart and turned his head to look at the situation inside the carriage, the incense burner had already been lit with sandalwood and began to drift away, and the heavy fur inside expelled the cold, Zhou Xue sat opposite him and didn't know what book he was holding and watching, and under his feet was the naughty Xiaobai constantly playing with his tail, and there was no way to escape the flood.

There is a stark contrast between the inside and the outside, Zhou Zheng also sympathizes with the people outside, but he himself has no way, even though the education of the 21st century has taught Zhou Zheng what it means to give up a small family for everyone and help others is the foundation.

But kind-hearted people will have a little bit of selfishness, not to mention that Zhou Zheng is just a naked mortal, his own ability is extremely limited, and he is not a savior.

He is just an ordinary person with a special identity, what he can do at present is to take care of the people around him and live his own life.

After the carriage drove out of the tall city walls of Hokyo, the road conditions suddenly began to deteriorate, and there was only a thin layer of water on the road of the Imperial City, at most it was only about ankle and the road condition was also good, but all this changed after leaving Hokyo.

The muddy water on the road turned into yellow mud, and the situation in Hokyo was naturally better, as the streets inside the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty were paved with stone bricks, and the roads outside the city were made of mud.

In this era, the roads were basically all dirt roads, and all the potholes became when the rain washed away, and it was better in the city before, but now the speed of the horse-drawn carriage has also decreased a lot.

Suddenly, the carriage shook and then slammed it, and the little head that was reading the book made a close contact with the book directly, and even Xiaobai, who was playing with his tail, was startled, as if he had encountered something terrifying.

"Don't worry, the carriage should have gotten stuck in the mud."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Zheng braved the drizzle to get out of the carriage, jumped out of the carriage and came to the back of the carriage, only to see several guards of the imperial palace desperately pushing the carriage, but the carriage was stuck in the mud puddle, maybe too deep, and these guards did not push the carriage out with all their strength.

When these guards saw Zhou Zheng coming down, they immediately stopped what they were doing.

"Your Highness?"

Looking at these mud-stained guards, Zhou Zheng nodded and said

"You are all fortunate, so now there is not much distance from the Imperial Village, and when you arrive at the Imperial Village, everyone will take a good bath first, and everyone will be rewarded with a silver coin."

The coins of the Great Zhou Dynasty are divided into copper coins, silver coins, gold coins and dragon coins, and the ratio of each coin is one to one hundred, one hundred copper coins is equal to one silver coin, one hundred silver coins are equal to one gold coin, and one hundred gold coins are equal to one dragon coin.

For a family of three, one silver coin is enough to feed them for a month, two silver coins are enough for a good meal, three silver coins can even eat a meal of meat from time to time, and one silver coin is enough to make the guards happy.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward." The guards were also overjoyed to hear that there was a reward of a silver coin, but after only a moment of joy, the guards immediately froze again.

I saw that Zhou Zheng came to the back of the carriage, touched the carriage, and immediately put his hand on it and pushed it up.

"Your Highness not!"

The guards' words had just sounded, and Zhou Zheng had already pushed the carriage out of the mud pit with a relaxed face, and this scene immediately shocked these guards with Zhou Zheng's arm strength.

"I didn't expect that my strength has become so much in these days."

Zhou Zheng thought silently in his heart.

These guards couldn't push the carriage with great strength, and they only pushed the carriage up after a little force, and Zhou Zheng couldn't help but feel excited about his strength.

In the next section, Zhou Zheng has not been on the carriage but walked towards Huangzhuang with the guards, every time he encountered mud, he pushed the carriage with these guards, and invisibly Zhou Zheng felt that his relationship with these guards had been pulled in a lot, and later Lu Bu also joined in, which increased the speed of the carriage a lot, and the problem of the mud pit was negligible......

After the sky was dark, the outline of the Huangzhuang had already appeared in front of Zhou Zheng and the others, and after arriving at the Huangzhuang, regardless of Zhang Xuan, who was surprised, Zhou Zheng directly ordered Zhang Xuan to prepare a large amount of hot water for the group from the imperial palace to take a hot bath.

Taking a hot bath when it's cold and dirty is a pleasant enjoyment, after taking a hot bath, Zhou Zheng immediately felt that he was full of energy, without any sense of tiredness.

"Your Highness, Steward Zhang just sent someone here, I want to ask if you are free, if you are free, Steward Zhang wants to take you to visit the courtyard, and the farmers in the Zhuangzi also want to see Your Highness?"

Ye Da saw that after Zhou Zheng finished taking a bath, he immediately stepped forward and said.

"Hehe, this is a coincidence, I just wanted to visit this courtyard, I haven't had a good visit since I came last time, this time I have to take a good look, so let Steward Zhang come and take me to have a good look."

In Zhou Zheng's opinion, it was a kind of regret that he didn't take Huangzhuang around last time.
