Before the prince set out, the emperor gave him a new identity, named Gu Mu, the nephew of Gu Yanyi. This time, he was accompanying Gu Yanyi.
The next morning, Gu Mu brought his team, who were also the people who protected him along the way, to Gu's house and met Gu Yanyi: "Hello, Uncle Gu."
Gu Yanyi was someone who knew the identity of the prince, and was instantly shocked: "Too, too... polite."
The prince was somewhat amused: "Uncle Gu, I am your nephew now, just treat me as an ordinary nephew, and call me Xiaomu. When you go out, you should also be more careful about your attitude."
Gu Yan was shocked for a moment: "Yes, I understand. Then Xiaomu, have you prepared everything?"
The prince nodded: "Everything is ready. The person accompanying me this time is Zhou Ziqian, my good friend."
Zhou Ziqian also stepped forward at this time and greeted Gu Yanyi: "Hello, Uncle Gu."
Gu Yanyi also glanced at Zhou Ziqian and found that he didn't know whose child this was, so he smiled and said, "Hello, hello, Ziqian, right? We have taken care of each other along the way."
Zhou Ziqian smiled shyly. Everyone was here. The reason for choosing him this time was because he was the grandson of the guard commander. He had practiced martial arts since he was a child and was quite capable. He could also take care of the prince.
Gu Yan took a look and saw that everyone was there, so he gave the order to take people over to meet up. When they arrived at the camp outside Beijing, they found that these people were already ready to go.
Food was transported to the camp in carts, and the laborers around them were replaced by professional soldiers, who guarded the food and headed towards Shanzhou City.
In Shanzhou City, Zheng Yiju searched almost the entire city, but still couldn't find those people. After worrying for a while, he heard the people below report back.
Those people did not leave Shanzhou City, but went to the town inside Shanzhou City. Zheng Yiju breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, there is a road to heaven but you don't take it, there is no door to hell but you insist on breaking in.
Yes, in Zheng Yiju's opinion, all those people outside Shanzhou City are already under his control. I just came forward to report and ask about it.
"How are the people over there doing?"
You have to know that there are probably five or six towns outside Shanzhou City, with a population of neither more nor less, about 50,000 to 60,000. They should have accumulated almost the same number by now.
After hearing Zheng Yiju's question, the people below reported back: "Well, two things happened. One is that the lives of the people in Shanye Town don't seem to be affected. Also, the head of Tianfeng Town is not one of ours."
Is this a problem? Of course it is, and it is still a big problem. Thinking of this, Zheng Yiju's mood was very bad: "Other places, there is no problem. Don't worry about Shanye Town for the time being. The main thing is Tianfeng Town. We must take the position of the boss."
"When the time comes, we can just create some disaster in Shanye Town and it will be over. As for the chief, if we listen to others, who will be our friend or foe? Who can tell?"
When the people below heard this, they immediately nodded and said, "Yes, I will convey it now."
In Tianfeng Town, Zheng Yiju's people received Zheng Yiju's answer very quickly, and they looked embarrassed. It's not that he didn't want to fight for the position of the leader, but he couldn't win.
"You can see that the people here all obey the orders of the great leader, and the food provided by the second leader is enough to make these short-sighted people obey."
The people sent here were speechless. "There is a big leader, why don't you just kill him secretly? Besides, this second leader has only one child, can she really be the master of the house? When all the food in your hands is eaten up, won't she be nothing?"
That's true, it makes sense. But how to kill the leader? I've thought about it before, but I just didn't succeed.
In other words, it was impossible to kill the chieftain by relying on the animals in the mountains. So the only way was to assassinate him. But who would do it? Who would be able to kill the chieftain without him being prepared
Thinking of this, he began to think. Zheng Yiju's subordinates were only here to pass on the message. Anyway, the message was passed on, and he didn't have to do anything.
The people on the other side were very angry. If it was so easy to kill the big leader, why would you come here to fart? Even if you want to do it, you need a chance. But there is no such opportunity that can be created.
As for how to create, of course, I asked the people above for help. With an idea, it is very simple to do things.
"Go back and tell the adults to send people to attack here. It doesn't need many people, more than 10,000 will be enough. Pretend to attack, and when you get here, obey our orders."
The messenger nodded and said, "Okay, I will go back and convey your request to the adults."
After watching the messenger leave, the man raised his head, looked ahead, and snorted, hoping that the person sent by the adults would be quick.
The man in front of him was none other than Captain Yan Feng. He had been standing there for a while when someone suddenly came over and patted Yan Feng on the shoulder: "Captain, the lookout has been built. Do you want to go take a look? The chief and the others are all here!"
Lookout? Yan Feng suddenly remembered that this was built under the suggestion of the second leader. It was a tall building with stairs going up directly, and a thatched house on top. He could see the surroundings in the house, and soon he came to the lookout.
He raised his head and looked around. As expected, he could see everything clearly. Even things not far outside Tianfeng Town could be seen. With this lookout tower, it seemed impossible to launch a sneak attack on Tianfeng Town.
“This observation tower is well built.”
Although he was praising, Yan Feng was actually a little depressed. With this lookout tower, it would be difficult to deceive the big leader.
Well, we'll talk about it later. The people in Tianfeng Town are still very happy that the lookout tower was successfully built. After Cao Suixin came, he has been concentrating on one thing, which is to find An An and Duo Duo's parents, but unfortunately he didn't find them.
She found Qian Jiujiu and said, "Master, can I keep these two with me?"
Qian Jiujiu looked at Cao Suixin. This man was extremely lucky. Since he wanted to stay, there must be something different about him. So he nodded and said, "Okay, if you want to stay, then stay."
Duoduo had been worried for the past few days, wondering when they would be driven away. She saw that there was no one to take care of the children here, and they had to pick up garbage to eat every day.
She didn't want to become like this with her brother at all. Moreover, her brother was like this, a man who often didn't talk. He would starve to death even if he went to pick up trash.
Seeing Cao Suixin coming, Duoduo immediately stepped forward and knelt down in front of Cao Suixin: "Sister Xin, please don't chase us away. Can you please keep us here?"
Cao Suixin smiled: "I didn't intend to drive you away. I have already told Master to stay. But from now on, you will be my maids and servants. Do you agree?"
At this time, it was already good to be kept by someone. As for being a maid, she still agreed to be a maid for Cao Suixin: "Thank you, Miss."
An An's big eyes flickered as she looked at Cao Sui Xin: "Sister."
A pair of small hands also grasped the sleeves of Cao Suixin's clothes, unwilling to hand over the lady. Duoduo's face changed, looking at Anan, not wanting to blame, but worried about Cao Suixin's blame.
It was Cao Suixin who spoke first: "You don't have to call me Miss, just call me Sister."
Duoduo nodded: "Okay, sister. What should we do next?"
What should I do next? Cao Suixin thought about it and felt that she couldn't do anything at her age. But others were working very hard.
"You don't have to do anything, just don't get into trouble."
In fact, they are not young anymore. People of the same age are looking for food in the mountains at this time!
The distance between the wooden house and Tianfeng Town is safe. After all, all the large beasts on this road have been cleared.
Cao Suixin thought about it, and took the siblings to find Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao, saying that he would go up the mountain to find food tomorrow and do something within his ability.
Qian Jiujiu was quite confident about Cao Suixin's luck. Naturally, he agreed: "Okay, then you guys should be careful along the way and let a few guards of the Kong generation accompany you."
So the next day, Cao Suixin took the two siblings and several guards up the mountain. Cao Suixin led An An, Duo Duo also carried a small backpack, and the guards carried a large backpack.
There were many people coming to the mountain to look for things, but they were all women, because the men were exercising now, and some were used for patrolling. There were four big men standing on the well-built watchtower, patrolling motionlessly.
When other people saw that there were newcomers coming up the mountain today, accompanied by guards, they couldn't help but look at them with disdain. They thought that such people came to the mountain just to have fun, so what good things could they find
Duoduo, a child who has been accustomed to other people's expressions since childhood, can understand the way those people look at them, but he did not say anything to Cao Suixin.
Cao Suixin didn't pay any attention to these people, but only paid attention to the things on the ground. Not long after he walked out, he found that there was no one in this area.
I was a little curious and looked around. It turned out that this was a wasteland. There seemed to be nothing but some dry things on the ground.
No wonder no one came to this piece of land, but her intuition told her that there was something on this open space, but she didn't know what it was.
A woman was already waving at her: "You guys, go up the mountain to the places with lush trees and weeds, maybe you can find something to eat. What can you find in the open space? Could it be that the food is buried underground?"
Being buried underground did serve as a reminder to her.
