In order not to be noticeable, Ning Ze disguised himself as a peddler, and instead of riding claws Huang Feidian, he used a flatbed carriage instead.

Hua Erniang walked with him and dressed up as a peasant woman.

The car pulled a few boxes of small items that are indispensable for ordinary life, and went all the way south, heading towards Dageng County, Chengzhou.

With Ning Ze's identity, there is no need to forge documents at all, and he directly orders to make a new identity, as long as he avoids important officials in various counties and counties, he will basically not be discovered.

Along the way, I really did business all the way, passing through various cities, walking to sell, replenish goods, and make it the same as the real thing.

From Huajun to Danjun, he went all the way south through Tong and Ba, and finally entered the boundary of Chengzhou, but he also made a little money.

Along the way, no one recognized this person who deliberately messed up his hair, slightly blackened his face, and wore plain cloth clothes, who was the king of Danyang who leaned towards the government and the opposition in Huaguo, and Ning Ze, the imperial husband of the dynasty.

After passing through various city gate checkpoints, the new identity documents are particularly useful, and ordinary people do not know Ning Ze, who is high above, after all, there is no TV, no newspaper, and no photography in this era. No one would have thought that the dignified man, the King of Danyang, who was above 10,000 people under one person, would be bored to such an extent that he would run around pretending to be a hawker.

Public order in China is still good, Ningze's policy of benefiting the people has been implemented, and the majority of the people have solved the problem of food and clothing. The days are good, and no one rebels.

In addition, Ning Zewei is famous, and the morale of the troops everywhere in the country is high, as long as there are thieves who cause chaos, they will be quickly pacified.

Not to mention that some time ago, in order to clear the Liang State as a stronghold, the patrol in Huaguo was strengthened, and some thieves obediently hid in the mountains and forests in order to avoid the limelight.

The only trouble is probably the weather.

Although Ningze can make weather predictions through various environmental conditions, after all, it is not a modern society, and it is often a wilderness during the journey, and the extreme climate is quite troublesome.

For example, now, after walking dozens of miles from the previous village, except for the potholed yellow mud road in front of me, there is wasteland as far as the eye can see, and there is not a trace of human population in sight.

And the nearby terrain is plain, with few trees and flat terrain.

As they walked, heavy rain poured down, and relying on the oil umbrella on the truck could not protect the two from being drenched.

There was no shelter from the rain nearby, so there was no way but to continue in the rain.

Fortunately, when marching and fighting, all kinds of extreme weather are also very accustomed, the two of them drove quickly, observed along the way, and hurried in the rain at the same time, looking for the possibility of sheltering from the rain.

It's just that you can't go to the front of the village and can't find the back of the store, the barren mountains and big trees can't be found, and the tallest tree on the way is only up to the neck, and even the basic height is not exceeded, how can you block the wind and rain?

It doesn't work, the wind keeps blowing behind, and the rain is slanting over, and the oil umbrella can't resist it at all.

After half a day, the clothes of the two were extremely heavy, full of moisture, and even their skin was soaked.

"I knew that if I pretended to be a businessman of higher status, the canopy carriage would not be drenched like this. Ning Ze flicked the reins with one hand and let the horses continue to run forward, while constantly wiping his face and wiping off a large amount of rain to ensure his vision.

The main thing is that pretending to be a big businessman is too eye-catching. Passing through various cities, it is possible to attract local officials, or be handed over by officials to the government.

He had to avoid it as much as possible to keep his whereabouts secret, as an insignificant hawker like the one he was doing was more appropriate.

The climate in Chengzhou is too different from that in Jinzhou, and if it had been expected to rain heavily here, it should have been prepared in advance.

Walking along the main road, seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Hua Erniang was a little worried: "Lord Wang, it seems that this rain will not stop for a while." Once it gets dark, you can't light the torches and you can't hurry. How's that good?"

"It's Lonely's negligence, I didn't expect the weather in Chengzhou to change so quickly, and the rainfall is incomparable to Jinzhou!" Ning Ze shouted, "I can only continue to move forward, hoping to find a place to shelter from the rain as soon as possible!"

The rain was so strong that both of them had to shout to speak, otherwise they couldn't hear it.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and at this unfortunate moment, lightning and thunder began.

At the moment, the two of them are on higher ground, and the most depressing thing is that there is a smooth road as far as the eye can see, and there is nothing to cover. If you continue to rush under such circumstances, if you are unlucky, a thunderbolt will come down directly, and you can't dodge.

There are no famous products that Ning Ze carries with him, and they can't change the situation at all.

In desperation, he could only speed up and run in the thunderstorm, and the carriage was bumpy all the way.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, and they gradually couldn't see the road clearly, the two of them became more and more anxious, and they couldn't care about talking, and they didn't care that they had already been drenched in soup, and they were desperately rushing in the thunderstorm.

I don't know how long it took, the sky finally fell completely overcast, and the darkness fell, but the heavy rain did not stop.

If it weren't for the lightning and thunder, it would have illuminated the road in an instant, and I am afraid that the car would have gone off track long ago.

The further you go, the more anxious you become.

If this continues, you can only find a random place to stop, be watered by heavy rain overnight, and then gamble on your luck, hoping not to be struck by lightning.

At this moment, Hua Erniang suddenly saw a faint light in the distance, and hurriedly shouted at Ning Ze: "Lord Wang!

Following the direction she pointed, Ning Ze braved the rain to check, and sure enough, he saw a faintly imperceptible light that was blocked by the rain in the dark.

To be on the safe side, avoid any further thunderstorms and whip the horse so hard that it runs at full speed.

When the carriage followed the firelight and deviated from the avenue, and arrived in a winding circle, he saw a yellow mud and black tile building with no neighbors and a courtyard sitting alone in front of it.

Speaking of which, such a remote place, especially during extreme thunderstorms, is easily reminiscent of a haunted house in a horror movie.

There was a bright fire in the house, and there should be people.

Caring about it so much, Ning Ze parked the carriage outside the house and took Hua Erniang to the door and knocked wildly.

After a while, the door creaked open, and inside was an old man of half a hundred beards, about fifty or sixty years old, who looked vigilantly at the two people who were soaking wet, and their clothes were constantly dripping water on the ground.

"Uncle!" Ning Ze hurriedly said, "We are passing by, we can't continue to travel in this weather, can we let us go into the house to shelter from the rain and change into wet clothes?"

The old man shook his head: "It's inconvenient for the old man to receive him, let's go!"

"Uncle, we have nowhere to go!" Ning Ze said, "It's raining all afternoon, and it's almost unbearable." I can't find any shelter from the rain around, so I can only trouble you!"

"No, no!" the old man shook his head, "You guys hurry up!"

"Bold!" Hua Erniang was anxious, "Do you know ......?"

Seeing that she was about to tell her identity in a hurry, Ning Ze hurriedly stopped her and said in a reproachful tone: "Erniang, how can we be rude when we go out and ask for others?"

When Hua Erniang heard him say this, she could only nod and reach out to wipe the rain on her face.

"Uncle, the inner man doesn't know how to be polite, please don't be surprised!" Ning Ze reached out and took out the money bag from his arms, "We can pay and just ask to stay here for one night." I see that you have several rooms here, can you spare one?

The old man looked at Ning Ze, then at the money bag in his hand, shook his head and said, "This is not an inn, and the old man doesn't want to entertain guests, please leave!"

Seeing that he didn't eat oil and salt, Hua Erniang was a little angry and was ready to roll up her sleeves and move roughly.

Ning Ze hurriedly stopped, thought for a moment and said to the old man: "Uncle, I'm really sorry for disturbing without permission! It's just that the inner person is pregnant, if you don't dry your body in time, once you get sick, you will be a corpse and two lives! Everyone has compassion, please help!"

When Hua Erniang heard this, she looked at Ning Ze with wide eyes, and said in her heart, Why are you pregnant? I'm still a big girl with yellow flowers!

The old man looked at Ning Ze, and then at Hua Erniang, his expression hesitated, and after thinking for a long time, he asked, "Can you work?"

"Huh?" Ning Ze was stopped by his question, with a question mark on his face.

"I said, can you work?" the old man looked at Ning Ze, "You have to be able to work, go to this house to help the old man do things." Your wife can go to the next cottage to rest. ”

"Yes, yes!" Ning Ze was afraid that he would change his hexagram, so he hurriedly said, "Uncle, I can do any job." ”

"Okay! The carriage can be pulled into the shed, and you husband and wife can go over there and change into clean clothes. The old man eventually relented.

"Thank you, uncle!" Ning Ze took out a handful of copper coins from his money bag, "This room fee ......"

"Forget the money, hurry up and change your clothes and help the old man do things!"

"Eh!" Ning Ze agreed, ran over to open the box in the middle, took out a package containing clean clothes from it, and threw it directly to Hua Erniang, "You go into the house to change your wet clothes, and I'll pull the carriage closer to the shed." ”

This box was placed under an oil umbrella, and although it was wet from the rain on the outside, it was still dry on the inside because it was wrapped in an oilcloth in advance.

Hua Erniang took the burden, hurriedly ran to the adjacent hut on the side, and closed the doors and windows after entering.

Ning Ze pulled the carriage over, unloaded the body under the shed, tied the soaked horse, took off a bundle of stone forage to fill its stomach, and took the cloth to dry it first.

Hua Erniang quickly dried herself in the house, changed out of her soaked clothes, and came over to take care of the horses instead of Ning Ze.

Ning Ze hurriedly went into the house to take off his wet clothes, dried his body, and changed into cloth clothes.

At last it was better, and the old man took a portable stove and carefully placed it in the house: "Let your wife bake the fire, there is a clean quilt over there." ”

"Thank you, uncle!" Ning Ze said gratefully, "I will keep in mind your great kindness, and he will be grateful in the future!"

"Don't be a hell of a day, help the old man tonight. ”

"Eh!" Ning Ze agreed.

When the old man returned to the room just now, he turned to Hua Erniang: "You can stay here tonight and have a good rest, hurry up and spread the quilt, and be careful when using the stove." ”

"How can there be a reason for the prince to do things and his subordinates to rest?" Hua Erniang said, "It's better for the prince to rest here......"

"Now you and I are husband and wife, I just told my uncle that you are pregnant. Ning Ze smiled, "Besides, how can you let you be in the same room with a strange man? Although he is definitely not your opponent, he is not suitable! Stay honest, do you hear?"

"Whoa!"
