After his inner voice was read, the little cannon fodder became the darling of the world

A smile appeared on Liu Ze's face.

"There is no news, but I feel that we won't have to wait too long."

"It won't take too long. Mother is worried about any changes."

"Don't worry, mother. As long as we stick to our duties, our father's words are as good as gold. He will not easily take back what he has said."

Concubine De nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes! My son, we must behave properly and don't make any mistakes. Your mother is counting on you."

Liu Ze held his mother's hand and patted her gently to comfort her.

"Don't worry, I stay at home reading books every day, and only go out to meet friends occasionally. I will restrain myself in everything and will not make any mistakes."

"That's good!"

In a carriage on an official road.

After Liu Hao and his party left the city, they walked slowly along the official road.

Nangong Jiu played with the doll on the cushion for a while, then fell asleep on the cushion.

Nangong Yunxue carefully covered her with a thin blanket.

Liu Hao took out the map from the secret room and unfolded it. The travel route was outlined in colors on it.

"Xue'er, this is the route we discussed last time. Take a look, is there anything that needs to be modified?"

Nangong Yunxue looked carefully along the outlined route, marked the distance on the map with her finger, and then pointed at a place.

“My mother said that she hadn’t seen my grandfather and uncle for several years, and that my grandfather was not in good health.

I wonder if we can turn around here and go to the border?"

Liu Hao looked at the place where her finger had rested and nodded affirmatively.

"Of course! We're just going on a trip, so apart from Jiu'er's fiefdom, we can go wherever we want.

At this rate we will reach Gongxian the day after tomorrow.

At that time, depending on Jiuer's wishes, we can stay in her two fiefdoms for a month."

"Well, you make the arrangements, and we'll just follow you."

Liu Hao smiled, put away the map, lifted the car curtain and looked out.

“There is a small market ahead, we can have a bite to eat at the market, walk faster in the afternoon, and settle in the next larger town in the evening.

If you feel sleepy, just lie down and take a rest. I specially modified the carriage so that you can lie down and take a rest on the road."

"I'm not sleepy now. Let's talk about it in the afternoon." Nangong Yunxue nodded in response.

Half an hour later.

When the group arrived at the market, Aqian had already prepared a restaurant in advance.

As soon as Liu Hao and others arrived, the dishes and rice were served on the table.

Nangong Jiu, who was lying in Liu Hao's arms, sniffed and opened his eyes as soon as he smelled the aroma of the food.

After seeing the dishes on the table clearly, he reached out and grabbed them: "Meat..."

Nangong Yunxue quickly held down her hand that was grabbing the food: "You can't eat this! Wait a minute, mother ordered some minced meat and egg custard for you."

Nangong Jiu, who didn't get any food, pouted and waved his chubby little hands, slapping the table loudly.

"Fatty..."

The shopkeeper brought the egg custard with a smile: "Here it is, the fragrant and tender egg custard with minced meat!

However, it is a little hot, my dear, please wait a while before eating, don’t burn yourself.”

Looking at the delicious minced meat and egg custard, Nangong Jiu couldn't help it and drooled from the corners of his mouth.

I secretly reached out to hold the bowl, but it was indeed a little hot, so I quickly retracted my hand, touched my ears, and blew on the egg custard with my mouth: "Huff, huff..."

Nangong Yunxue took the bowl with a smile: "Jiuer, before you went out, you were eating the snacks your great-grandmother gave you. You shouldn't be that hungry, right?"

Nangong Jiu pulled his clothes with both hands, wanting to show Nangong Xue his empty stomach.

"Okay, mother got it. Jiuer is hungry."

As he spoke, he scooped a spoonful of egg custard with a spoon, put it near his mouth to cool it down, and then fed it to Nangong Jiu's mouth.

fragrant! So delicious!

Nangong Jiu didn't have time to taste the egg custard properly before he swallowed it whole.

"Is it tasty?"

Nangong Jiu nodded and pointed at the minced meat: "Meat..."

"You, the word 'meat' is the most clear. Remember to chew it and be careful not to choke!"

Nangong Yunxue scooped a spoonful of minced meat and fed it into Nangong Jiu's mouth.

Nangong Jiu chewed the meat with his few remaining teeth. The more he chewed, the more delicious it became. He couldn't help but close his eyes and savor it with satisfaction.

Nangong Yunxue ate her meal while feeding Nangong Jiu.

Liu Hao held the baby in one hand and picked up food to feed Nangong Yunxue with the other hand.

"This dish tastes good, eat more..."

Nangong Yunxue also put some food into Liu Hao's bowl: "Eat quickly too!"

The shopkeeper looked at them and gently nudged his wife who was preparing food.

"They are such a happy family of three! The boy is handsome, the girl is beautiful, and the baby is plump, smart and cute!"

The shopkeeper's wife looked up and took a look: "It seems that they are indeed a good match!"

Here, everyone ate and drank their fill and continued on their journey.

Liu Hao ordered the secret guard who was driving the carriage, "Hurry up, or it will be dark before we reach the town."

The carriage galloped.

Nangong Yunxue looked at Liu Hao inquiringly: "I feel like you are very familiar with this journey."

Liu Hao smiled and looked out the window.

"Well, when I went out to look for you before, I walked this road back and forth several times, and I also went to Gong County and Yi County, but I returned disappointed every time.

This time, I have you by my side as I walk the old path again. I have two completely different feelings in my heart."

Nangong Yunxue looked at Liu Hao: "You must have suffered a lot to find me, right?"

“I didn’t suffer much, but every time I went there with high hopes, I returned disappointed.

But I don’t give up. As long as I get a little bit of news, I will rush to see what’s going on.”

Liu Hao recalled his past self and said with a smile: "I am very grateful for my efforts back then, which allowed me to be with you in this life."

Nangong Jiu clapped his hands happily when he heard this.

"Giggle...Dudu, Liang!"

Nangong Yunxue blushed slightly and tapped Nangong Jiu's forehead.

"It's Uncle, not Toot."

Liu Hao smiled and defended: "Jiu'er is only nine months old and has just started learning to speak, so it's normal that she can't speak clearly.

My mother said that I didn’t start learning to speak until I was one and a half years old.

Nangong Jiu laughed and drooled.

The carriage was shaking and Nangong Yunxue was drowsy.

"You and Jiu'er should take a nap. It will be almost time when you wake up. If the night market happens to be open, you can go shopping there in the evening.

A few years ago, when I went to the town, I went to the night market in the evening. ”

"Then I'll get some sleep."

"it is good!"

at dusk.

The group finally arrived at a small town called Qingshi.

What made Liu Hao a little strange was that there were no pedestrians on the street even before it got dark.

After checking into the inn that had been booked in advance, the innkeeper served the meal and reminded us.

"Sir, when it gets dark, this inn will be closed, so you should not go out again.

You must be tired after a day's journey, so wash up and rest early."

Liu Hao was very surprised.

"Boss, what happened in this town? Why is there no one on the street?"
