"Phew~"

Seeing that the carriage was about to sink into it again, Junko hurriedly tightened the reins to stop the horse temporarily, and at the same time said bitterly to the people in the carriage:

"Master, this road to the salt field is a bit difficult, you can take care of it."

The next moment, the curtain of the car was lifted by a slender jade palm, and a handsome man in a dark robe walked out of it: "Get out of the car and walk over." ”

Junzi hesitated for a moment: "But this distance is still ......" The word "far" didn't come out, and it was instantly blocked back by the man's cold and cold eyes.

He jumped out of the carriage, leaving a man in charge of watching the carriage and horses, and followed his prince and walked over together.

Along the way, the road became more and more difficult, and Junzi couldn't help muttering: "I made so much money, why didn't the eldest princess spend money to repair the road, and I don't know how the salt was sent out on weekdays......"

Compared with Shunzi's disgust and incomprehension, Xiao Yinhan, who was irritable and dissatisfied, was indeed unexpectedly calm along the way.

Or, before he came, he already had expectations in his heart.

This place, unlike what he saw when he came, hasn't changed much.

Xiao Yinhan came to the salt farm today, using the identity of a foreign salt merchant, because he learned that the salt farm had changed hands, so he wanted to negotiate business with the new owner. The purpose is to understand the current situation of the salt works through a false identity.

Even though Shunzi complained in his heart, the prince did not speak, and no matter how bitter he was, he could only swallow it in his stomach.

The further back the road to the salt farm, the better it is, and the two of them are both martial arts practitioners, so they can also persevere.

"Look, there seems to be a person there!"

After walking for almost an hour, he finally saw a figure, and Junko couldn't help but get excited.

Seeing Xiao Yinhan nodding in agreement, he immediately ran over: "This father, ask for directions......

"Knock~"

However, before he finished speaking, the person in front of him turned his face to the ground and planted directly.

Junko was startled: "Hey, are you okay?" ”

While speaking, Xiao Yinhan, who was originally on the side, had already walked to the side, pressed a few times on the unconscious person, and frowned: "It seems that he is hungry and faint, feed him some water and wake him up." ”

Junzi was surprised when he heard this, but without any hesitation, he did what his prince said.

Fortunately, the old man was lucky, and after feeding him a few sips of water, he woke up in a daze.

"I—What's wrong with me?" And when he spoke, it was still in a weak tone.

Junzi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the prince said that he was hungry, so he generously handed him the dry food he had just in case:

"Daddy, you're starving, and we've seen you. Come on, eat something first, eh, eh, don't worry......"

When the two were talking, Xiao Yinhan stood on the side and looked at him-

The old man's face was old, and his whole person was skinny, looking like a refugee. Although the clothes on the body are shabby, you can still see the word "salt" written on them.

So......

"You're a saltman at the saltworks." He spoke, his voice cold and his tone was firm: "The salt workers don't work in the salt works, what are they doing here?" ”

The old man who was gobbling up was startled by the cold voice, and then he saw that there was a person standing behind Junko. He was startled and coughed violently: "Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Junko: It's worthy of being the prince of his family, just a word can kill a person!

muttering in his heart, Shunzi patted the old man on the back with his hand: "Dad, don't panic, my master is still a salt merchant, and he specially came to the salt field to buy salt......"

Under the flickering of Shunzi's eating and drinking, the old man seemed to believe the identity of the two.

And the two of them finally knew why he was here-

"The salt farm has not delivered food for a month, everyone has no food, and I can't stand the hunger, so I want to come out and dig some wild vegetables and go back to cook soup for everyone."

Following his words, I saw a few pitiful wild vegetables in his hand.

"I told you only when I saw how good you were." The old man leaned against the hillside, and his eyes, which were still numb just now, became nervous at the moment:

"This saltworks have been taken over by the ruthless King Rong, who likes to kill. Hurry up, be careful of being targeted, your life is gone! ”

Junko was still a little curious about what the old man was going to say, and then when he finished speaking, he fell up with all his hairs all over his body, and he wanted to pounce on him and cover his mouth and tell him not to say anything.

"You ...... nonsense"

"Let him speak."

There was a male voice around him who couldn't hear his emotions, but he could only hear him sad for a while hot and cold, just early spring, and the cold sweat was already soaking his back.

I beg you, say less!

But the old man who was a salt worker couldn't read his heart, and still said to himself: "...... King Rong even robbed his aunt's salt farm, and you rich businessmen had to rob all the money when he saw it. Let's go, don't come. ”

"Since King Rong is so terrifying, what will you do after he comes?"

Xiao Yinhan's words quieted the old man, and just when the two thought he wouldn't answer, he suddenly spoke:

"Come on, come on, big deal, all die."

One sentence made the faces of the two people present change slightly.

"Wang, Wang......" Junko wanted to say whether to arrest people.

The man on the side said without changing his face: "We're going to the salt field anyway, if Daddy doesn't mind, let us send you back." ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, looked at the water bag in his hand, and finally nodded: "Then, thank you......"

So, Junzi became the one who carried the man as he wished, and the old man was responsible for showing the way for the two.

Shunzi couldn't help muttering in her heart: Who would have thought that the prince of his family would have such a high tolerance for ordinary people.

If only you could be so good-tempered in the capital.

The place where the old man dug wild vegetables was not far from the salt farm, and it didn't take long for the three of them to arrive at the place.

Seeing outsiders coming in, the people in the salt farm were originally very vigilant, until they heard the old man say that it was the two of them who saved themselves, and the attitude of the salt workers was better.

The two walked around the salt pans and found that the environment here was even more miserable than they had imagined.

Most of the salt workers still live in thatched huts that leak everywhere, and the only row of tiled houses is said to have been lived by stewards.

And these days, the steward doesn't know where to go.

A young man in the old man's neighbor learned that Xiao Yinhan was a salt merchant who wanted to come to do business, and like the old man, he persuaded him to leave quickly and not come again.

The fear in his eyes is not fake.

Junzi stood on the side, and listened to everyone's slander of his prince again......

Ah, is it slander?

Actually, it doesn't count, most of them are quite true.

He didn't know whether to praise this group of people for being "brave" enough, or to sigh that his prince was powerful, and his reputation had spread so far.

I just don't know if this group of people will be scared to death on the spot when they know the true identity of the prince.

Thinking like this, he actually had a strange expectation.

"The number of people is not right." The cold words next to him made him come back to his senses in an instant: "Lord Wang, what did you say, what's wrong?" ”
