Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 381 The frightened guards
Su Jing saw Zhu Han's determination, but the more so, Su Jing felt that Zhu Han's challenge would be more and more difficult to complete.

Su Jing left without chatting with Zhu Fan for a few words.

After all, he is a well-known figure in Lishui County. If he communicates too much with Zhu Fan, it will easily cause misunderstandings and the difficulty of Zhu Fan's survival challenge will be greatly reduced.

Su Jing returned to the small courtyard and continued to prepare sulfuric acid solution. He was not sure how much he needed.

In the blink of an eye again, night is here.

Su Jing looked at the results of her busy work and was quite satisfied.

The dandelions on the ground have been exposed to the sun for another day, and their dryness has improved a lot, almost reaching the standards Su Jing needs.

"Not bad!"

Su Jing nodded and immediately started to pack it up.

The night has come. Not only is there no sunshine at night, but we still don’t know what the weather will be like tomorrow, let’s just say that there is heavy dew at night. We can’t just leave it like this.

After carefully packing up the dandelions, Su Jing's stomach growled.

hungry!

Su Jing didn't think much and went out directly.

However, he did not eat dinner at Jinling Hotel or eat snacks in Shaxian County. Instead, he bought a few meat pies and headed directly towards the dock.

As night fell, work on the docks stopped.

Zhu Fan had been tired for a day, and the work he did was less than half of that of other workers.

Just when he excitedly went to collect his salary, he was told that he would have to deposit one day's salary.

Zhu Fan was very angry and wanted to reason with him, but the other party would never reason with him.

It's just a kid and I don't care at all.

In this situation, Zhu Han's guards could not do anything. After all, Zhu Han's life safety was not threatened.

Helpless, Zhu Fan could only spend another copper plate to buy two steamed buns to satisfy his hunger. Normally, one steamed bun would be enough, but after a day's work, the consumption was too great, and one steamed bun was not enough to satisfy his hunger.

At noon, he also ate two steamed buns.

In order to save money, Zhu Fan didn't eat breakfast.

In other words, Zhu Fan ate four steamed buns on the first day for two cents.

His remaining capital was three cents.

If he didn't make money, he wouldn't even be able to survive the third day.

However, Zhu Fan now has no thought or energy to think about how to spend the remaining money.

In the palace, Zhu Fan, who never had to work, carried bags for a whole day.

It is already a very big challenge for him to have the perseverance to persevere.

He was still a prince before. Not to mention carrying bags, he even had someone to help carry the teacups.

The biggest fatigue is probably the time to learn the art of war and martial arts from several art of war masters.

However, Zhu Fan is not good at martial arts, and because he is smart, his training is mediocre.

At this moment, Zhu Han's skin was scratched, his whole body was exhausted, and his thoughts seemed to have stopped.

He just wanted to find a place to sit down and take a good rest.

It was a good choice on the steps in front of the store, but it was a pity that he was driven away by the waiter as soon as he sat down.

If someone wants to do business, how can they let him sit at the door?

After searching around, I only found a slightly flatter stone block by the river.

The position of yesterday is gone today.

Zhu Fan sat on the stone, dragging his tired body, looking at the pedestrians coming and going around him.

At night, the lights are bright.

It was still so noisy and joyful, and it seemed to be no different from what I saw yesterday.

But for Zhu Fan, what he saw was the real bottom.

Although Zhu Fan was not very efficient at work due to his young age and weak strength, he did not make any friends with his fellow workers.

But just by observing, he also learned about some of the conditions of his co-workers.

There are many situations where one person has to support a large family.

And their wages are pitifully low, carrying ten bags for only one penny!

The average worker can carry six hundred bags a day, which is sixty cents.

Sixty Wen is converted into steamed buns, which seems to be 120, which is quite a lot.

But they don't just care about their own mouths. They are old and young. Carrying bags all year round has caused many diseases in the body.

The price of a pair of medicines is dozens of yuan!

It would be unimaginable if something else happened to the family!
At this time, Zhu Fan had begun to understand what it meant to live hard.

However, Zhu Fan is still confident.

It's just a day's salary, and he will be paid tomorrow.

230 bags, which is 23 cents.

Zhu Fan kept every package in mind.

Because he had worked hard to carry each of these packages. If it weren't for the agreement with Su Jing, he would have given up long ago.

too tired!
It was completely different from what he imagined.

With this money, I can eat something good and take a bath.

It’s definitely not enough to eat too much, but at least you can replace the steamed buns with steamed buns.

However, a gust of night wind pulled Zhu Fan back from his thoughts.

The cold-proof effect of coarse linen clothes is really not good.

The cold wind by the river, carrying moisture, is really a bit cold.

In addition, Zhu Fan slept next to the bridge hole last night, and his body had already been cold.

I really can't stand it now.

However, Zhu Fan was not without any solution. He heard the workers chatting today and learned about a good place to go.

Under the base of the city wall is a pretty good shelter.

And even at night, it is easy to find a vacant seat, because Lishui County is very lively at night, and beggars will come out to beg.

If it's not too late, go there early to get a good spot.

Zhu Fan had no interest in being a beggar, although he knew that being a beggar would be much easier than carrying a bag during the day.

After all, he is the King of Jin. Even if he does not intend to use his previous identity, he must not be reduced to a beggar!
Relying on his own body to support himself is Zhu Fan's bottom line.

Soon, Zhu Fan came to the base of the city wall. There were indeed few people and only a few people there.

Zhu Fan did a simple search and soon found a good position and lay down directly.

Although I was still sleeping on the street, it was much better than yesterday. At least the wind was blocked.

In the distance, Su Jing has been following Zhu Fan. She watched Zhu Fan come here with a slight smile on her lips.

This is indeed a nice temporary place to stay, but that's just what it looks like.

Because this place is very nice, there are quite a lot of homeless people gathering here late at night.

They are all people living on the street, so it is possible for them to do anything.Moreover, such a place must have territorial ownership.

Su Jing carefully observed the surroundings and soon noticed the guards who were always protecting Zhu Fan.

After all, they had been monitored for a long time, so Su Jing knew quite well where these guards liked to stay.

Su Jing did not disturb Zhu Fan, but walked directly towards one of the protective guards.

He had anticipated that Zhu Fan might encounter some seemingly dangerous situations next.

If these guards would rush out whenever they saw the possibility of being punched, then this challenge would be meaningless.

As Su Jing continued to approach one of the guards, the guard became obviously nervous.

Even though they were Zhu Fan's bodyguards, both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Fan specifically warned them before coming not to disturb Su Jing.

Now Su Jing came directly to find him, but he could not violate his duty to protect Zhu Fan.

Given these two contradictions, I really don’t know what to do.

"Don't panic, it's okay. I'm looking for you, not you, so it doesn't count as disobeying orders."

Su Jing came to the guard and calmly comforted him.

Su Jing could probably guess some of the orders Lao Zhu gave them.

"Meet Uncle Ren Yuan."

The guard knelt down and saluted Su Jing.

Su Jing immediately said: "There's no need for this. I'm here. I want to discuss something with you."

The guard stood up and said: "Uncle Ren Yuan, please tell me, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Su Jing's order was also a very high priority order for them.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang now attaches great importance to Su Jing's life.

Su Jing smiled and said: "It's not necessary to go through fire and water, it's just a small matter. I'm just waiting for a while. Your Highness, King Jin, may encounter a little trouble. I hope you can stand by and watch for a while. I know you are protecting King Jin's safety." Yes, but as long as the knife is not used, I still hope you can exercise some restraint."

Stand idly by and watch Zhu Fan's safety!

As soon as Su Jing said these words, the guard in front of her was shocked.

"Uncle Renyuan, I'm afraid we can't do this. The safety of His Highness Prince Jin is our mission on this trip. Please don't make things difficult for us, Uncle Renyuan."

The guard's expression changed, and he answered Su Jing bravely.

Just kidding, Zhu Fan is in danger, how can he stand idly by?
If something goes wrong, then they will be punished by the Nine Clans!
Su Jing said: "I don't intend to embarrass you, and I understand your responsibilities, but there is an agreement between me and Prince Jin. Otherwise, why would Prince Jin live on the street? I must have warned you that you cannot provide I can’t help him in any way.”

The guard's face was extremely ugly. What Su Jing said was true.

Although he didn't know what the agreement between Su Jing and Zhu Fan was, it was obvious that this agreement was very important, otherwise Zhu Fan would not have been so firm at the time.

It's just that... Zhu Fan's safety is really a big deal.

"Uncle Ren Yuan, this matter..."

The guard hesitated in his words. This was not something he could agree to at all.

Su Jing pondered for a while and said: "It is indeed a bit embarrassing for you to just watch like this. If not, I will disguise you. When there are more people, you can sneak into King Jin's side. It's a simple pain of flesh and blood." , you can’t take action, you can only take action if your life is in danger, how about that?”

Su Jing understood the guard's worries.

It is indeed too much to let others ignore it with just one word. If something happens, I can't bear it for them.

When the guard heard Su Jing's suggestion, his expression softened a lot.

If he could disguise himself as Zhu Fan's side, the problem would be solved much faster.

We can also clearly understand the extent of the dangerous situation Su Jing mentioned.

However, this method only reduces the risk, but does not completely eliminate it.

Sometimes, accidents happen in unexpected places.

As Zhu Fan's guard, his duty is to nip in the cradle all hidden dangers and accidents that may threaten Zhu Fan's safety.

"Uncle Ren Yuan..."

"No, wait until I finish, I'll accompany you, that's okay."

Su Jing directly interrupted the guards and said that she also wanted to accompany them.

At this moment, the guard could only relent and said: "In that case, I will promise to Uncle Ren Yuan."

As a guard, he could still feel the weight of Su Jing's identity in the hearts of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and King Zhu Fan.

Su Jing has already done this, and if she continues to obstruct her, even if things are really not going well, she can continue to do it.

"Very good! Thank you very much. Don't worry, I also attach great importance to King Jin's safety. This time I made an agreement with him for three full days!"

Su Jing smiled and comforted.

As the night deepens, the lights of the bustling streets slowly dissipate, and the crowds are like ants, returning to where they came from.

The beggars also packed up their affairs and returned to their dens.

Among this group of beggars, there were five or six figures gathered together.

It was Su Jing and Zhu Fan's guards. Their disguises mainly consisted of changing their clothes, changing their hairstyle, and getting their faces dirty.

There is no difficulty in getting close to Zhu Fan, because Zhu Fan is already asleep, and his sleep is quite sweet.

After a tiring day, you can fall asleep as long as there is a piece of land.

"Hey! Wake up!"

In his sleep, Zhu Fan felt something on his face and reached out to grab it.

"You can't hear me, right?"

Then he felt a pain in his calf, and then he woke up.

When he opened his eyes, he saw two beggars standing in front of him.

Because it was dark at night, he couldn't see clearly what the two beggars looked like. They were just two beggars anyway.

"what happened?"

Zhu Fan asked, rubbing his calf where he was kicked.

"Go away, this is my bed, sir. Who asked you to occupy it?"

The beggar holding a stick in his hand said viciously.

Zhu Fan frowned, but he didn't say anything about why the bed was yours.

It can be seen clearly at a glance that the other party just wants to occupy this position.

"What if I don't let it?"

Zhu Fan asked rhetorically.

As Lao Zhu's son, even if he is not a martial artist, he still has a bloody temper.

You let me go and I'll go?
is it possible?

He was annoyed enough by being detained for a day's salary during the day, and now he couldn't sleep well at night, which made Zhu Fan very angry.

"Hahahaha!"

Another beggar smiled and said: "If you don't leave, don't regret it later."

As he said this, the beggar already made an attack stance and raised his right foot directly.

This made the guards on the side extremely anxious. The kick just now almost made them go berserk. If Su Jing hadn't stopped them, they would have knocked down the two beggars and sent them away.
