Chapter 11: "On the Way South"

As soon as the sun rose the next morning, Xiao Chenhao had already gotten up, and after "Chang Zuo" Xiao Chenhao got dressed, he called Chang Zai to come in and wait. Chang Zuo had risen an hour before the emperor got up.

"Bring hot water, I want to wash," Xiao Chenhao instructed Chang Zuo after putting on his shoes under Chang Zuo's service. Chang Zuo asked the innkeeper to bring in the hot water that he had prepared earlier. Xiao Chenhao didn't like to be served by someone when he was taking a bath, so he washed himself and let Chang Zuo tie his hair.

When the emperor went downstairs after washing, Ma Ping and the others had already cleaned up, and waited for the emperor to have breakfast, and then set off. Everyone was talking, and when they saw Xiao Chenhao coming down, they immediately stood and saluted, "Childe" Xiao Chenhao had already said that there was no need to be polite outside, but everyone was still not used to it, after all, this habit is difficult to change.

Xiao Chenhao waved his hand and asked everyone to sit down and said, "Today we will not take the dry road, but the water road" Zhu Jiang passed through Guang'an County and the counties and counties along the way until Dingzhou Mansion. Once the Dingzhou Mansion passed, it was the three provinces south of the Yangtze River.

Ma Ping instructed his subordinates Zhou Jinzhong and Song Wuyi to send the horses they rode to the post station, and when they came back, they could continue to ride, and Zhou Jinzhong and the two immediately stood up and saluted the emperor and walked out of the door.

Chang Zuo asked Xiao Er to bring breakfast up, and after Xiao Chenhao ate it, he instructed Ma Ping, "You and I, Chang Zuo and Liu An, Wang Chuan take a boat, and the others take a boat" Ma Ping was a little worried when he heard the emperor's words, "Son, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, your safety"

Xiao Chenhao looked at Ma Ping's worried face, interrupted Ma Ping, and couldn't help but ask, "This son is also good at martial arts, and there are dark ones."

Ma Ping then remembered that the emperor had studied under the general of the protector of the country, and his martial arts were not lower than his own, and there were secret guards by his side, so he couldn't help scratching his head when he thought of this. Ma Ping is usually a very shy person, but once he encounters danger, he instantly becomes a cold-blooded killer. Because the emperor's safety is related to the entire Daxuan.

Xiao Chenhao knew that Ma Ping was concerned about chaos, his identity was related to the future of Daxuan's people, and Ma Ping's concern was not to make a fuss, but to be the emperor's guard, and it was his responsibility to protect the emperor's safety.

When Ma Ping heard the emperor's words and thought of the secret guard, he immediately went to another table to order.

After a while, Song Jinzhong and the two came back, Xiao Chenhao asked the two to sit down quickly for breakfast, and he was talking to Chang Zuo and Ma Ping and the other two, and the two saw that the emperor was waiting for them, and couldn't help but speed up the meal.

Everyone on the side secretly looked at the emperor and thought in their hearts, although the emperor has a very cold personality and is decisive in killing, but I have to say that Xiao Chenhao is a bright monarch and a very enlightened person, and an emperor who will wait for his subordinates to dine is worthy of himself and everyone.

Xiao Chenhao didn't know what everyone was thinking, so he just asked Chang Zuodao, "Did I let you prepare the Longjing before the rain?" Du Zizhan, the general of the protector of the country, returned to his hometown Dingzhou Mansion to recuperate due to poor health, and the emperor planned to pass through Dingzhou Mansion to see the old general. The old general has been righteous and loyal all his life, and he just likes Longjing before the rain.

"Hui Gongzi and the slave have already been prepared" Chang Zuo replied, Xiao Chenhao nodded when he heard Chang Zuo's answer, and he still believed in Chang Zuo's ability to do things, so he skipped the matter.

After Song Jinzhong and the others finished eating, the group walked to the dock not far away. Along the way, Xiao Chenhao's turning back law was too high. The people on the street looked at Xiao Chenhao, who was like a jade, and discussed in a low voice, "This son looks like an immortal."

"Yes, yes, it's really like an immortal" Everyone listened to the comments of the surrounding people on Xiao Chenhao, and they were accustomed to it, who made their majesty look like a demon, but they didn't dare to say it, they could only say it in their hearts.

After arriving at the dock, Ma Ping rented three boats, Xiao Chenhao got on the first one, and after the emperor got on the boat, Ma Ping, Chang Zuo and the other two people followed on the boat, and the guards behind also got on the boat separately. Ma Ping instructed the boatman to "sail" and the group took a boat to the next place.
