back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 433 Secret Protection
Han Feng'er was walking back to Chang'an City. If she had the strength of her feet, she would be able to return to the orphanage in less than a quarter of an hour on weekdays.But today's Han Feng'er was full of worries, and her steps became heavy accordingly.

It was afternoon, and there were not many pedestrians on the official road.The two galloping roads were set up beside the official road, and a long carriage, which was completely different from ordinary carriages, came galloping under the pull of two horses.Because there is a galloping path, unexpectedly the horse will automatically go astray.It's just that this speed is faster than walking, far inferior to ordinary carriages.If it is a single horse, the speed is much faster, but the passenger capacity is reduced again.

Han Feng'er knew that the strange rails and carriages were all invented by the man in the palace.Under the love of the house and the darkness, Han Feng'er temporarily put aside her worries and stopped to watch.Until the carriage went away, Han Feng'er still had that young and frail figure in her mind.

"Han Fenger, Han Fenger, don't you want to marry a hero? How can a little emperor fascinate you?" Han Fenger scolded herself in her heart for not being able to live up to expectations, but she knew that Lu Chengqi's figure was astonished. The eyes, and the thoughtful expression are all imprinted in her mind one by one, and I'm afraid they won't be able to erase them in this life.

Han Feng'er was immersed in her own memories, before she could continue walking, the sound of rumbling horseshoes and the sound of armor rubbing came from behind, as if an army had passed by.

After all, he is a martial arts practitioner, even if he was distracted, Han Fenger immediately came to his senses.Turning around, he quickly dodged to the side of the official road. Looking back, he saw a group of imperial guards in sharp armor, walking along the official road in the direction of Chang'an City.

The farmers on the official road and the common people who were traveling, when they saw the army approaching, they hurried out of the way.Some even hid far away, and all retreated to the field ridges beside the official road.Some children hid behind the adults, looking curiously at the imposing Forbidden Army.There are more than 3000 people in the forbidden army, and they walk in twos, and the ranks are very long.

Han Feng'er became suspicious: "I haven't heard of any war. Why did these forbidden troops go to Chang'an? Could it be the rebels?"

This thought flashed by again.This team of imperial guards has bright armor and strong body, and they can be seen as elites at a glance.The most confusing thing is the dragon flag in the Chinese army.Han Feng'er remembered that since the little emperor came to power, this dragon flag had been hanging on the Xuande Building. Over time, not to mention the people of Chang'an City, through the publication of "Dashun People's Daily", this dragon flag had already penetrated into the hearts of the people of Dashun.If it was a rebel army, how could it be possible to hold high the dragon flag symbolizing Dashun?
Han Feng'er was worried, and followed the imperial army all the way into Chang'an City.It was found that the imperial army was divided into two parts, one half was guarded in Chang'an City, and the other half went to the Xuande Gate outside the palace, facing the outside and forming a procession.Because it was close to the palace, Han Feng'er couldn't stay too long, otherwise he would be caught as an enemy spy.I heard that not long ago, the Supervision Department used this method to arrest many spies from Khitan, Korea, and Japan.What became of these spies, no one knows.

Han Feng'er returned to the orphanage with doubts.Before stepping into the orphanage, he heard the sound of reading in the courtyard.As soon as he entered the orphanage, he turned around a small garden, and a gentle voice came from behind: "Sister Han, why did you go back so long today?"

Han Feng'er was startled, looked back, and said in a low voice: "Mother, I..."

Zhou Zhiruo came out from the gazebo in the garden, and said with a smile, "It must be something at home? If there is something to be done at home, you don't have to come to the orphanage every day. Even if I don't come, send a few servants, Just send a few Hongxiapei (both Shiyu and Hongxiapei are called palace maids, this is the name of a woman when she first entered the official position). In addition to Mr. Zhuge and others, it should not be a problem to take care of these children."

After hearing this, Han Feng'er hesitated for a long time before saying: "Mother, Feng'er's family really has something to do, and I need to go away for a few days. One month later, it will be my father's memorial day. His old man's tomb is in Shuzhou's hometown. Feng'er I'm afraid it will take more than a month to go back..."

Zhou Zhiruo took her hand and said softly: "As a woman, you should be filial to your parents. I, Dashun, govern the country with filial piety, how can I tie you up here, Sister Han? Take it easy, everything here I am here."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, after Feng'er pays homage to her father, she will travel day and night to return to Chang'an..." Han Feng'er was a little touched, such a queen is really considerate.At the same time, I couldn't help feeling sour in my heart. After all, it was the man's first wife, who was the queen of the court.Only a scholarly family can cultivate such a woman.Thinking about it this way, Han Feng'er couldn't help feeling a little more inferior.

"Not busy, not busy, please take your time, Sister Han. The orphanage is already in order at this time, so don't worry about it. Wait, where is your hometown?" Speaking of this, Zhou Zhiruo suddenly remembered something.

Han Feng'er blurted out: "In Shuzhou, what's the matter, ma'am?"

Although Zhou Zhiruo is in charge of all the Huangzhuang in the world, as a woman, she is born a little confused about geography, and she has never been out of Jingzhao Mansion, and she has mostly heard of the various state capitals in Dashun.

"Which road mansion is Shuzhou in?"

"Mother, Shuzhou is on Huainan West Road." Although Han Feng'er didn't understand what Zhou Zhiruo wanted to say, she still answered honestly.

Zhou Zhiruo continued to ask: "Sister Han, your martial arts are so high, you must have been to many places. Is Huainan West Road far from Kuizhou Road?"

"Huai Niangniang, Huainan West Road and Kuizhou Road are still separated by Jinghu North Road. Even the farthest distance is only more than two thousand miles away."

"Then how far is Shuzhou and Kuizhou?"

Han Feng'er said honestly: "There are about two thousand miles of water."

Zhou Zhiruo was a little surprised: "It's so far away?"

Han Feng'er laughed and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know. Although there are more than two thousand miles between Shuzhou and Kuizhou, if you travel by water, it will take more than a month. If you travel by land and water, you can reach it in half a month. And from Kuizhou It doesn’t take more than three days to reach Shuzhou from Zhouzhou. This is because Kuizhou is on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and Shuzhou is on the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Going upstream requires a boatman to pull a boat, and it will always take some time.”

"So that's how it is!" Zhou Zhiruo suddenly realized, and said in shock, "It turns out that the waterway is so convenient, no wonder His Majesty insisted on digging a canal against all opinions."

This is a major national matter, and Han Feng'er dare not intervene at will.She accidentally heard the news that Lu Chengqi was going to dig a canal, and she was even more admirable.

"Sister Han, I have something to ask you." Zhou Zhiruo said solemnly.

Han Feng'er was stunned for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, it's okay to say, Feng'er will try her best to do it."

"I want Sister Han to help me secretly protect someone." Zhou Zhiruo looked at Han Feng'er sincerely, waiting for her to nod.
