Sure enough, Concubine Tang was right, and everyone had just walked hundreds of miles in this dense forest when they heard the crisp sound of gongs and drums coming from all around.

I saw hundreds of bandits holding sticks and yellow scarves rushing out of the woods on both sides, shouting in unison and hugging Cheng Hao and several people in the center.

"Well, I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to live from now on, stay and buy road money! If you dare to pop out of your mouth, you can kill and bury it!"

I saw a man dressed as a leader, dressed in a black robe, with a bearded face, carrying a big axe on his shoulder, surrounded by dozens of cronies, and commanded Zhong Dahong who was driving the car with a smug face.

"Side quests, side quests, hurry up and come to side quests!"

However, Cheng Hao thought about it in his heart for a long time, and there was no information about triggering the side quest in his mind, which made him a little disappointed, it seems that if he wants to trigger the side quest, just these little thieves are not enough at all!

"Master, what should you do about this matter?" Zhong Dahong asked in a low voice through the curtain.

"If you are willing to surrender, you will be retained as a guard, if you are not willing to surrender, then kill them all!" A faint voice came from the carriage, and the side quest was not triggered, and Cheng Hao couldn't even think of getting off the car.

"No!"

Zhong Dahong responded, and then, the sound of a violent fight came, and after half a pillar of incense, Zhong Dahong, who was holding a black spear and was full of murderous energy, returned to the coachman's position again, raised his horsewhip, and hurried forward again.

The horses' hooves fluttered, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the dense forest, only the blood on the ground and the broken corpses showed that there had been a tragic battle here.

......

Half a month later, a majestic giant city appeared in Cheng Hao's field of vision.

This city is called Nanyang, which is a county town covering an area of 300,000 miles, although it cannot be compared with the kind of male city in Luoyang, but it is also a large city in the surrounding area.

This Nanyang is the hometown of the Empress Dowager He, and the He family's base is here, and this trip is dedicated to sparing hundreds of thousands of miles, just to come here to gather the strength of the He family and prepare for the future Jinglu Jianye.

"This Nanyang is under the rule of Liu Biao, Liu Biao is quite talented, why doesn't Your Majesty directly occupy Nanyang, and then take over the entire Jingzhou?"

"Jingzhou is a place where soldiers must fight, and occupying this place will inevitably attract the covetousness of princes from all walks of life, which is not conducive to long-term development in the future!"

Cheng Hao shook his head, although this place is quite rich and has many soldiers, but the location of this place is a little awkward, whether it is Yuan Shao or Cao Cao in the future, or the Sun family in Jiangdong, they are all eyeing Jingzhou, which is not very consistent with his farming strategy.

"Don't make a noise, let's quietly enter the city, and then go directly to He's house!"

Liu Biao is also an ambitious person, and there are also a few more capable generals at the level of red generals, if he learns that Cheng Hao, the former Son of Heaven, is here, will he have the idea of 'coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes', it is really hard to say.

For example, if the general trend is turbulent today, Cheng Hao doesn't have the heart to delay here, after gathering the He family's forces here, he is ready to rush directly to Jianye, and if there is a side task during the period, he will do it, and if he doesn't, forget it.

However, as soon as he entered Nanyang County, Cheng Hao's whole body suddenly stiffened, and then a smile appeared on his face, looking very good.

The side quest that had been unresponsive was finally triggered after entering Nanyang County.

"Side Mission One: Recruit for a limited time!"

"Nanyang County, Wolong's hermitage, within ten days, Wolong has a greater chance of appearing in Nanyang County, please find the host to recruit as soon as possible, if the recruitment is successful, there will be a Zhuge gift package!"

I'll go, recruit for a limited time, and Zhuge Tips Gift Package, isn't this Nima a routine of the Three Kingdoms online game?

Spit and complain, but Cheng Hao is really excited, Zhuge Kongming, he is definitely one of the most popular figures in the Three Kingdoms, he knows very well that after this time-limited recruitment time, there will be no chance to recruit Zhuge Liang in the future.

The opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, compared to Zhuge Liang, Cheng Hao doesn't care about the He family's family background.

The divine thoughts dispersed, and in an instant, Cheng Hao enveloped the hundreds of thousands of miles of Nanyang County, and after a while, a small thatched house suspected to be Zhuge Liang's hermitage appeared in his mind.

If it was the original plot of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang would probably still be a little kid at this time, but now it is the world of the Three Kingdoms, even if an old man comes out and says that he is Zhuge Liang, he will believe it.

"Da Hong, you take the Queen Mother and Concubine Tang to He's house, I have an urgent matter and need to go out, during this time, you stay in He's house, don't go out!"

Zhong Dahong naturally did not have any opinions on Cheng Hao's instructions, but the Empress Dowager He, seeing that her son was going out, became nervous at the moment.

However, without waiting for his cheap mother to speak, Cheng Hao's body shook directly, and the whole person turned into a golden rainbow light, flying towards the periphery of Nanyang County, and everyone felt that he was missing for a moment.

"This child, since he was abolished by Dong Zhuo, has become more and more unfathomable, and I, the queen mother, have become more and more unable to understand him!" Empress Dowager He sighed, along the way, she even had a faint fear of her son, and she didn't dare to refute his decision at all.

"Perhaps, this is the emperor's mental technique!" Concubine Tang said faintly, along the way, how could she not feel Cheng Hao's estrangement from her, because of this, she offered advice to her husband again and again, wanting to prove her worth, so as not to end up abandoned in the future.

"Alas, it's a pity, God doesn't bless me as a big man, if that Dong Zhuo old thief makes trouble a few years later, let my son grow up completely, then there will be no Dong Zhuo dog thief!"

In the sigh, Zhong Dahong, the commander of the Empress Dowager He, slowly drove towards the He family's station, this time, she just didn't want to be old-fashioned, but also to raise enough material wealth for her son, and prepare for recruiting troops and horses in the future!

......

Regarding the sigh between Empress Dowager He's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Cheng Hao naturally didn't have the heart to deal with it, at this time, he had already left the main city of Nanyang County and came to a small mountain village on the outskirts of the county.

It is said to be a small mountain village, in fact, there are only seven or eight villagers scattered around, Cheng Hao explored the suspected Zhuge Liang residence, built near the mountain, three thatched houses, a few geese in the yard, there are several acres of fertile land around the thatched house, and a few grapevines are entwined around the field, but now it is autumn, the vines have withered, and the dry branches and leaves are constantly swaying with the autumn wind.

"Zhuge Kongming, I'm here!"

Falling at the entrance of the village, Cheng Hao tidied up the robes on his body, and after feeling that there was nothing wrong, he walked among the mountain villages and walked towards the thatched hut where he couldn't even see his thoughts.
