The sky is covered with heavy snow, and the earth has already been covered with a layer of silver, making it look particularly enchanting.

In the stormy sky, a motorcade was slowly moving forward on the snow-covered official road.

Four carriages and a dozen men on horseback, all wearing raincoats, long knives, and Fanyang felt hats on their heads, were distributed in front and behind the carriage.

In front of the carriage, there is a yellow gelding with clear ribs. Wang Zhong wears a Fanyang felt hat on his head. He does not wear gloves like others, but his hands are bare. On one side of the horse's back hangs a pair of iron bags wrapped in leather bags.

There is a cloth bag hanging on the waist and a large black cloak, which is made of black bear fur and is very warm.

"Third Master!" Yu Chuer rode from the front and came to Wang Zhong's side.

"What happened?" Wang Zhong asked.

Yu Chuer turned his horse's head and walked side by side with Wang Zhong, saying: "There is an inn five miles away!"

Wang Zhong raised his eyes to look at the somewhat gloomy sky, and said with emotion: "It seems that there is no need to sleep outdoors tonight."

"Notice, speed up, get to the inn as soon as possible, and have hot soup and rice as soon as possible!"

"No!" Yu Chuer accepted the order with his hand, and immediately started riding quickly.

"Uncle, how long does it take for us to arrive in Tokyo?" Wang Xu next to him turned to look at Wang Zhong and asked.

"Ten days and a half month!"

Wang Zhong didn't dare to be too sure. If he was alone, he would be able to reach Tokyo in five or six days by traveling light and fast, but he still had his family with him, so naturally he couldn't go any faster.

Arriving in Lu Di, Wang Zhong's memories of those decades in Maixiang Village appeared in Wang Zhong's mind unconsciously. The faces of Jiang Hongguo and his children also kept appearing, and it felt like he was revisiting his old place.

"How long will it take?" Wang Xu said with a droopy face.

Wang Zhong glanced at him and said calmly: "Can't you endure such a little hardship?"

Wang Xu felt a chill on his back and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no!"

"Hmph!" Wang Zhong snorted softly: "You kid, don't play tricks on me, or I'll throw you into the scout team!"

"Ah?" Wang Xu's face became increasingly ugly.

In fact, the character of Wang Xu is not bad. After all, since he can remember, Wang Zhong has always been taken by Wang Zhong to teach him personally. However, this boy is a bit lazy and has no ambition. However, ambition is not a thing, but ability is not.

Not learning, after all, not having a sword in your hand and having a sword without using it are completely different things.

Although this kid is not very happy, he does not dare to go against Wang Zhong. After all, Wang Zhong is not his mother, and Wang Zhong will not spoil him. If he is punished, it is a real punishment!

"Uncle! I haven't been lazy recently!" Wang Xu quickly explained.

"I know you're not lazy, otherwise do you think you can still ride a horse so leisurely?"

Wang Xu didn't dare to say anything more, turned his head hurriedly, and concentrated on his way.

Wang Zhongdao: "The terrain of Jingdong Road is complex and there are many dangerous mountains and forests. Therefore, there are many mountain bandits who occupy the mountains and forests and rob passing merchants. We are not many in number and we have many families with us. It is these bandits who are the best."

The goal."

"It's the New Year, don't those bandits and bandits want to celebrate the New Year?" Wang Xu asked.

Wang Zhongdao: "Since they are bandits, they naturally do not engage in production. They only engage in business without capital, with their heads tied to their belts. If they do not rob, how will they get the money and food to celebrate the New Year?"

Wang Xu nodded as if he understood: "Then why didn't the government send troops to suppress the bandits? Instead, they allowed them to loot?"

"When one group is wiped out, a new group will appear. Wildfires will never burn them out, but the spring breeze will blow them again!" Bandits are always forbidden. As long as people have greed in their hearts and want to get something for nothing, they will

There are bandits.

Today, they are bandits who gather in the mountains and forests, and water thieves who occupy the waterways. In the 20th century, they were ruthless bandits who robbed with guns. Even in the new century, it is not uncommon for people to make a living by sneaking and annihilating their children and grandchildren.

"Actually, not all of the bandits are bad people. Some of them are forced to do so. They have no choice but to go up the mountain and weed. After all, they are just trying to survive."

"Isn't this a peaceful and prosperous time? How come there are still people who are forced to go up the mountain and fall into the grass?" Wang Xu asked puzzledly.

"If it were truly a peaceful and prosperous time, Huaixi wouldn't have set off such a large-scale rebellion last year." Wang Zhong said.

Wang Xu was still confused: "Didn't my uncle say that it was the demons from the Maitreya religion who deceived the people and started the rebellion?"

Wang Zhong explained: "Of course, the Maitreya Cult is indispensable for this, but if it weren't for the local officials colluding with the local big business and exploiting the people too harshly, how could the people be easily deceived?"

"Unless they are strong men who are naturally fond of fighting and fighting, if they can live a peaceful life, who would be willing to put their heads in their belts and engage in rebellion."

"Just like you, if I didn't force you, would you be willing to study and practice martial arts?"

Wang Xu felt a little embarrassed when Wang Zhong looked at him, and quickly turned his head to avoid Wang Zhong's gaze, not daring to look at him.

······

Although I hurriedly hurried, I still couldn't get back to Bianjing before New Year's Eve.

When Wang Zhong and his party arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, it was already the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and they did not return to Bianjing until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

When they heard that Wang Zhong and his entourage had arrived outside their home, Minglan and Wang Qier hurried back to the Princess's Mansion from the Sheng family.

"Sister-in-law! Brother Xu!"

"Brothers and sisters!"

"Auntie!"

Wang Qier also hurried forward to say hello to her mother and younger brother.

"You girl, you are so bold. A girl is not afraid of losing her own life if she fights with others!" When they met, it was not the scene of love between mother and son that Wang Qier had expected, but the love between Wang and Li.

His remarks.

"Ah mother!" Wang Qier took hold of Mrs. Wang Li's hand and said coquettishly: "Isn't my daughter okay? Moreover, she was named princess by the late emperor. She is a proud ancestor and brings glory to our family!"

"That's because you are lucky! Who can guarantee that you will have such luck next time!" Wang Li said angrily.

"What is good luck!" Wang Qier immediately defended: "I was sure that rebelling against the king would not succeed, and I wanted to follow Uncle Gu to gain some credit, but I accidentally performed too well!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Humph!" Wang Li raised her hand as if to touch Wang Qier's ears: "You are still reasonable!"

Wang Qian'er was as nimble as a monkey. She immediately ran away, hid behind Minglan, and argued confidently: "My uncle said that if you take something or not, you will suffer the consequences. Moreover, the situation was critical at that time, and the official family

King He Huan is hiding in our village, if he really succeeds in rebelling against the king, our family will also be implicated!"

Mrs. Wang Li is also a talkative person. Although she blames Wang Qian'er on her lips, she is actually worried about Wang Qian'er's safety in her heart. She is afraid that she will be injured, and even more afraid that she will lose her life.

What Wang Li is most worried about is that this girl has become arrogant because of this incident. She doesn't know how much she weighs, and sooner or later she will get into trouble.

"My uncle said that if he is away, I will be the backbone of the Wang family. I definitely can't sit back and ignore the situation at that time."

Seeing the mother and daughter quarreling more and more, Minglan and Wang Xu hurriedly stepped forward to stop them. Wang Xu pulled Wang Qier, and Minglan pulled Wang Li, but they didn't expect a woman to come out next to them.

Mrs. Wang Li kept comforting her.

Minglan looked at this woman and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Sister Shulan?"

Shulan forced a smile and said, "Sister Minglan!"

"Sister Shulan, what is this?"

Minglan was a little confused. It was just Wang Li and Wang Xu. Why did Shulan also come to Bianjing with her? And instead of going to the Sheng family, she went directly to the princess's mansion. Could it be...

I have to say that Minglan is really smart. As soon as she saw Shulan appearing in the princess's mansion, she had a suspicion in her heart.

Shulan was a little embarrassed. After all, stealing a house while Minglan was away was really unspeakable, so the smile on her face was naturally a little forced.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang Li quickly pulled Minglan aside and explained, but by some combination of circumstances, Wang Qier escaped.

While Wang Qian'er next to her breathed a sigh of relief, on this side, listening to Wang Li's explanation, Minglan's eyes widened and she looked at Shulan in disbelief.

Shulan was very embarrassed. She felt that Minglan's gaze swept her away and she felt uncomfortable all over.

"Sister Minglan! I'm sorry! I..." Shulan wanted to explain, but the words came to her lips, but she didn't know how to say them. She said that she had liked it ever since Wang Zhong rescued the Sun family from the misery.

Fucked Wang Zhong?

Or are you talking about how you volunteered to take care of Wang Zhong when Wang Zhong was drunk, and then Wang Zhong treated him as his roommate and carried him to the bed?

Minglan looked at Shulan. After the shock, she soon regained her composure. After all, it was not uncommon for a man to have three wives and four concubines in this world. Minglan was already prepared in her heart, but Minglan did not expect that the first one would be herself.

My cousin Shulan, but thinking of Shulan's unfortunate past, Minglan could understand Shulan's heart. She walked up to Shulan and asked, "Do your uncle and aunt know about this?"

"The Lord has written a letter in his own hand, stating his father and mother!" Shulan said.

"In that case, my sister will stay at home first, and then go to the Sheng family to visit her grandmother, father and mother another day!" Minglan quickly corrected her identity as the eldest lady.

"It's just that I have to say something first. My sister used to be Minglan's cousin, but now that she has entered the Wang family, Minglan is the royal wife of the Wang family. If there are any shortcomings, I still need my sister to take care of it!"

When Shulan saw that Minglan was not a legitimate person and refused her entry, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and immediately expressed her position: "This is natural. In the future, sister, no, in the future, the eldest lady will be the master of the house. Shulan will obey the eldest lady's arrangements in everything!"

This happened so suddenly that even Minglan was a little confused for a moment, but Shulan's attitude was not bad, and Wang's family was small, so Minglan had already made plans to take concubines for Wang Chong in the future.

Prepare.

"Where are the officials? Why don't you see the officials?" Minglan looked left and right, but Wang Zhong was nowhere to be seen.

Mrs. Wang Li then said: "Uncle went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs! Let us come back first! I guess the time will be here soon!"

Although it was the annual holiday now, there were still people on duty at each yamen. Although Wang Zhong had returned from Quanzhou with a transfer order, he still had to go to the yamen to make a clear handover as soon as possible.

Minglan nodded, expressing understanding.
