As the state where the capital city is located, the conditions for development in all aspects are naturally better than those in other regions.
In addition to the military power that can be seen everywhere, it is more about commerce and trade.
Many handicrafts from Huizhou first passed through Daxia and then flowed out, so there were still a lot of business trips between Huizhou and Xiazhou.
In addition, the terrain is relatively flat and there are many official roads.
At this time, Zhang Bao and the others were walking slowly on an official road.
There was only one carriage and a group of five people.
For the rest of the people, Zhang Bao had already asked them to disperse and go ahead to inquire about the situation.
Their identities generally do not arouse suspicion.
While Zhang Bao and the others were walking, a group of people suddenly chased them from behind.
"stop!"
This group of people came closer and blocked the path of Zhang Bao and his party.
"My lord, we are just doing some small business. An lord just checked it."
Zhang Bao said to the visitor.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
"Hurry up and open the carriage, let's see who's inside!"
The leader said to Zhang Bao very unhappy.
He took out a portrait from his pocket and looked at Zhang Bao.
The other people had already opened the door of the carriage without any explanation, looked inside, and then slammed the door.
"They're all women!"
"Let's go!"
Several people cursed and ran away into the distance.
Zhang Bao shook his head and watched a few people run away before continuing on the road.
This has been my journey all the way, I don’t know how many times, and along the way, I have witnessed a lot of indiscriminate killing of innocent people.
Many boys as old as the little emperor were killed without saying a word.
Thanks to Zhang Bao, he had made preparations in advance.
I expected that Cao Kang already had his own portrait.
There was no need to put on special makeup, he just deliberately left his beard on, and since he hadn't cleaned it up properly for so many days, he was basically unrecognizable and unrecognizable.
In the past, shaving was done with a knife.
There was nothing I could do, every time I kissed Xiaoyue, Xiaoyue would hum and twist her body to show her dissatisfaction.
Although when she was wearing stubble, if she kissed Su Xiaoyue somewhere, Xiaoyue would react even more, and even twitched several times.
But Su Xiaoyue would scrape it off with a knife every day, saying that men must pay attention to their appearance when they are outside.
But in the past few months since I have been out, how can I take care of these things?
In addition, I have been traveling a lot recently, and I am so tired that I am almost losing weight, and my appearance has changed a long time ago.
At first, Zhang Bao was a little worried when he was shown the portrait for the first time, but when Zhang Bao himself came over and took a look, he was completely relieved.
Not to mention that I have a beard now, even if I don't have a beard, it's hard to recognize.
The painters at this time were indeed not that magical.
As for Princess Yongtai, Zhang Bao used loess and pot ashes to plaster her face into a yellow-faced woman. Even her teeth were stained black, and she wore shabby coarse clothes.
Even the two fierce creatures were tightly wrapped in cloth at Zhang Bao's strong request.
At the beginning, Princess Yongtai almost suffocated to death!
I was so strangled that I couldn't breathe. I couldn't even pass Zhang Bao's test until it was almost invisible from the outside.
When it was time to rest at night, Princess Yongtai quickly let go, feeling a little bruised.
There is no way, Princess Yongtai is fair and beautiful, and coupled with these two dangerous things, if these soldiers see her, they will inevitably have some unreasonable thoughts, so it is better to be honest.
Zhang Bao would not dare to gamble on this kind of thing.
As for the little emperor, under the disguise of Princess Yongtai, he is completely a girl.
There are many pigtails on her head, and the clothes on her body were made overnight by the women's kitchen knife brigade, and then made with soil to make them look distressed, despite the emperor's strong resistance.
But after Zhang Bao took out the knife, he honestly let Princess Yongtai manipulate her with tears in her eyes.
As for the people in the women's kitchen knife brigade, there is no need to pretend, they originally look relatively safe.
Along the way, I met a lot of people asking questions, but basically they walked away after taking one look at them.
Cao Kang's order to them was to find a male doll about the same size as the emperor.
They would never have thought that the little girl with pink makeup and red face in the carriage just now was the emperor they were looking for...
Zhang Bao and the others were not in a hurry, they just walked slowly towards Huizhou.
…
Not long after we walked, it started to rain, and the rain didn't stop.
After Zhang Bao and the others traveled for many days, they finally entered Huizhou and couldn't stand it anymore, so they found an inn to stay.
It is very troublesome when driving on a rainy day.
Not only was the speed slow, but he often got stuck in mud pits.
For these roads now, even the official roads are all dirt roads.
It's usually fine when the weather is nice, but once it rains, it's basically muddy soup.
"Shopkeeper, how long will it continue to rain?"
Zhang Bao asked the innkeeper.
"Oh, this is hard to say."
"The rainy season now lasts for as little as one month and as long as two or three months."
"Even if it stops, it won't last long."
"How do you get on your way at this time?"
The shopkeeper asked Zhang Bao.
Under normal circumstances, when they go to Xiazhou for business trips from Huizhou, they always plan their time to avoid the rainy season.
Otherwise, a lot of goods would be in trouble during these rainy days.
"Aren't you planning to go to the capital? Who knew something happened there, so we were delayed for a long time."
"Originally, I should have come here long ago."
Zhang Bao smiled and said.
"Who says it's not the case? Recently, many soldiers and horses have come from Xiazhou, and I heard that many of them are from the capital!"
The shopkeeper nodded.
Their inn is at the junction of Xiazhou and Huizhou.
Naturally, you need to have more contact with these people.
"Yeah, I heard they were looking for someone, so they searched for us on the way."
Zhang Bao said to the shopkeeper.
I want to see what's going on now.
"Isn't it?"
"I heard they were looking for some kind of boy doll. A while ago, a lot of soldiers broke in. It was a good search!"
"It almost destroyed our inn."
"Those people are so fierce!"
The shopkeeper said with lingering fear.
"Well, then let's not delay and hurry up as soon as possible."
"Shopkeeper, prepare more dry food for us."
Zhang Bao handed over a piece of silver.
"Easy to say, easy to say!"
“It’s all ready-made here.”
"I'll have the waiter install it for you right away."
The shopkeeper immediately went to the back to make arrangements.
At this moment.
Suddenly several people wearing raincoats walked in from outside.
