Chapter 358: Sure enough

He had no choice but to go forward with everyone.

I thought that after walking for a while, the first person to complain about being tired must be Princess Yan, but I didn't expect him to be out of breath, Princess Yan was still very calm and relaxed, and she couldn't see any signs of tiredness at all.

Obviously just two women, how can they have such good physical strength? City Lord Li moved his short and fat body forward with difficulty, and Princess Yan didn't say that he was tired, so he definitely couldn't speak, otherwise if it spread, people would think that he was a big man, and he couldn't even compare to two weak women.

"If City Lord Li is tired, you can take a break." Chu Ruoya found his tired state.

After hearing King Yan speak to himself, City Lord Li immediately denied what he said: "Xiaguan is fine, Xiaguan doesn't need to rest." He said through gritted teeth.

Chu Ruoyao knew that this Li City Lord was being reckless, and he didn't admit it, and after walking forward for a long time, he ordered everyone to take a break halfway, which gave City Lord Li a chance to breathe.

"City Lord, drink some water!" The servants who were traveling with City Lord Li hurriedly took out water from their baggage and gave him a drink.

After City Lord Li finished drinking, the whole person leaned on the trunk of the tree very tiredly. The last time he entered this village, he didn't feel that it was too far because of the carriage he was taking, and this time he had to walk this road himself, as if there was no end in sight.

"Let's go find a place to change your clothes! It was almost time to enter the village, it was impossible to go in such clothes, and not all the villagers knew about it. ”

After listening to the arrangement of Marshal Shen and Chu Ruoyao, everyone scattered with their clothes, and even Li Luobing's people found a place with relatively high grass and put the shabby clothes on their bodies.

When everyone gets together again, they realize how big the contrast is.

In the past, some people were not very well dressed, but they were wearing clean clothes, but now the clothes on their bodies look like they have been wearing for an unknown amount of time from the outside, which is very much in line with the appearance of the villagers.

"What do you think of everyone?" Marshal Shen asked.

His men felt that there was nothing abnormal about these clothes, and when they were on the battlefield, the soldiers' clothes might be even more tattered than this, and sometimes they would even be stained with mud and blood, compared to the battlefield, their clothes were much better now.

Li Chang looked at the people who had changed their clothes and nodded with great satisfaction.

"It's like, it's like. The grass people bet that if you weren't a villager in your village, you wouldn't have recognized your identity at all. ”

After the problem of clothes was solved, everyone walked for less than half an hour, and they had already seen the whole picture of the village.

Seeing that he was almost at the village, the chief stopped at the entrance of the village.

"If you enter the village for a while, you can go to the grass people's house first, and the grass people may need to talk about where you are going."

After everyone entered the village, they came to the house of the chief, only to find that there were already several people in the house.

"These are the villagers' houses that you are going to go to in a moment, and the grass people specially called them over. This is Uncle Li's house, this is Wang Erniang's house, this ......"

After the lieutenant chief introduced the identities of these villagers one by one, he sent Chu Ruoya and others to the homes of these villagers.

"Don't worry about anything, just wait for me to help you with the farm work." After seeing that these villagers were a little nervous, Chu Ruoyan opened her mouth to comfort.

Although Chu Ruoyan said this, where have the villagers who are used to staying in the village seen such a world? I've been trying to suppress the tension in my heart.

The lieutenant chief was also embarrassed when he saw such a situation, and he had already told these villagers about the matter in advance, but he didn't expect that it would be like this today.

"You ......" He was just about to say those two words, but Marshal Shen stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Alright, don't waste time here, let's all go back to our respective villagers' houses!"

Marshal Shen's words are still very weighty, although the villagers don't know City Lord Li, but they are no strangers to Marshal Shen, after all, Marshal Shen has been protecting the entire Chaoyang City.

After hearing his words, the villagers dispersed, and when they left, Chu Ruoyan came to Li Luobing's side and instructed her.

"When you go to the villagers' houses in a while, you can just act as usual like the villagers, and I will send someone to inform you if something happens."

Li Luobing nodded, knowing that their current identities could not see each other often, so he left with the same eldest lady.

After Aunt Zhao left, Li Luobing came to a low house, Aunt Zhao looked a little nervous, but she still pushed open the door enthusiastically and let the two in.

"Come in and sit!" Li Luobing smiled and nodded, Tong Qiaosu walked into the house, and while she sat down, she had been looking at the furnishings of this room, and it seemed that only Aunt Zhao lived here.

"Do you live here alone?" After looking around the whole house, Li Luobing didn't see that there were other men living in this house, and even the clothes were only Aunt Zhao's own.

Aunt Zhao nodded, poured a bowl of hot water for Li Luobing and Qiao Su, and then sat down at the table.

"Two years ago, my father-in-law died at the hands of the people of Northern Xinjiang, and we have no children or daughters, and we have been living alone since then."

As soon as she mentioned her father-in-law, Aunt Zhao was full of sadness, she really didn't want to recall the painful days a few years ago.

"When the people from Northern Xinjiang came to the village, they not only robbed our entire village of food, but also had to capture the young strong men in the village to act as strong men, and some people were unwilling to go, so they were killed on the spot, and my Xianggong was one of them."

When it came to this incident, Aunt Zhao was sad and had a little hatred, and she had always regarded the people of Northern Xinjiang as enemies in her heart, and every time the people of Northern Xinjiang came to the village, she wanted to rush to the front and die with them, but she was stopped by the surrounding villagers.

Li Luobing looked at the crying Aunt Zhao, she didn't know what to say, she could only try her best to comfort her, and after Li Luobing's patient persuasion, Aunt Zhao wiped her tears.

"I also know that after a few years, I should return to my normal life, but this matter has always been in my heart, and I always think that one day I can give this breath for my father-in-law."

As soon as Aunt Zhao opened the chatterbox, she couldn't stop at all, she was alone on weekdays, and there was no listener, finally Li Luobing and others came here, she seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.

After saying all the words, Aunt Zhao's nervousness about Li Luobing at the beginning disappeared, she took Li Luobing's hand in her hand and patted it gently, and looked at her with loving eyes.

"If I had children, I would be as old as you." She looked at Li Luobing, then at Qiao Su next to her, and spoke.

After hearing Aunt Zhao's words, Li Luobing's heart was moved.

When she was in the Li Mansion before, her feelings about her mother were very vague, not to mention her father, and later when she came to Yanwang Mansion, although Chu Ruoyi was dedicated to herself, but that feeling was completely different from her parents, but she didn't expect that today in Aunt Zhao, she once again experienced warmth.

"During this time, we are your daughter, and I am your eldest daughter," Li Luobing pointed to Qiaosu next to him after speaking, "She is your second daughter." ”

"How dare you do this? No, no, no. Aunt Zhao shook her head again and again and waved her hand, "You are all nobles, how can you do this to me as an old woman?" ”

"Where do we look like nobles now? And don't you want to avenge your minister? We came to this village to find out the law of the bandits in the northern Xinjiang, so that we can catch all these bandits and prevent them from harming these villagers again. ”

Li Luobing's every word touched Aunt Zhao's heart, she didn't say too much, just nodded frequently.

"So don't treat us as nobles, just treat us as your daughters." After Li Luobing's persuasion, Aunt Zhao finally accepted this matter.

The rest of the people also stayed well in the villagers' homes, going out early and returning late with the villagers all day, and seemed to have integrated into the life here.

It's just that for two or three days, no one from northern Xinjiang appeared, and seeing that the wheat was about to be harvested, everyone was privately discussing whether the people from northern Xinjiang would come this time.

"Your Highness, are you sure about this incident?"

Guo Dong opened his mouth and asked Chu Ruoyao, he came to this village with Chu Ruoyao this time, as for Yang Zhen and other secret guards, they were secretly sent by Chu Ruoyan on the periphery of the village, always paying attention to the movements of the northern frontier.

"This king just said that people from the north may come, but he is not sure about any event, if the north does not come to the village this season, it will be a good thing for the village, so we have a lot more time to prepare."

Chu Ruoyao's words made everyone who was a little impetuous in their hearts settle down.

Just as they were about to go out to work, a letter was handed over to Chu Ruoyi.

After reading the letter, Chu Ruoyan immediately ran to the chief's house.

"You go and inform everyone in the village, let those young children all hide in their homes and don't move, the others just work normally, in case the northern Xinjiang people send spies, and find out that the situation here is not right, they are likely to leave directly, so that they will no longer be able to catch them."

After listening to Chu Ruoyao's words, the lieutenant hurriedly trotted all the way to tell the people in the village the news, the village is not big. Soon the news that the bandits from the northern frontier were coming spread in the village, and everyone was normal on the surface, but in fact they had been discussing this matter in private.
