I traveled through time and space and encountered a famine, and I became a hermit.

The next morning, everyone went to pick up their borrowed items.

He fetched some water from Gu's house, returned to his own tent, put the casserole on a simple stove made of stones, made a fire and started cooking.

The two ladies of the Duan family were taken care of by two maids yesterday and then placed in the Gu residence. They have not woken up yet.

Duan Shuhuan naturally stayed at Gu's house at night.

After the banquet yesterday, Song Renjing found a reason to accompany Duan Shuhuan and lived with Duan Shuhuan in Gu's house.

The orphans also followed Lu Feng's example and huddled together. A few older ones cooked porridge for the children.

Gu Jia completed the three necessary daily tasks, passed by everyone, said hello, and went back.

"Hey, do you know who the leading man is?" A man with a square face and narrow eyes asked the people around him.

"I know this. I've heard that the Gu family calls him Master Wu. He must be the one who teaches Kung Fu." An enthusiastic young man replied.

"That's it, Master Wu? Is that true? I can't feel any internal energy in my whole body." said the square-faced man in surprise.

"That should be correct. I've seen it too. He's the one leading the training every morning." Another honest man responded.

After knowing what he wanted to know, the square-faced man went back to cook.

After dinner, Gu Dahe brought his daughter to the water mill alone and installed the stone mill.

Mr. Gu brought Gu Ji, Gu Dahai and Gu Dajiang to the tent area and gathered everyone.

Grandpa Gu said to everyone, "Everyone, from today on, my grandson Gu Ji will lead you to build the kiln factory. Please cooperate with us and we will try to move into the house as soon as possible."

After that, he motioned for Gu Ji to come forward and said, "Jier, tell us what to prepare and how to do it next."

"Okay, grandpa." Gu Ji responded and walked out and stood in front of the crowd.

He looked at everyone, bowed, and then said, "Dear villagers, I am Gu Ji, the eldest grandson of the Gu family. From now on, I will lead everyone to build a brick kiln and then build a house. Please take care of me."

"Master Gu, you're too polite! We would like to learn the technology of building kilns from you." someone shouted.

"Master Gu, we don't have any bricks and tiles right now, how are we going to build this?" Someone in the crowd asked again.

"Fellow villagers, we don't have a brick kiln yet, nor a single brick. But we can build a simple brick kiln with stones. Once the first batch of bricks are fired and a brick kiln is built, we can produce them in large quantities."

"Okay, we'll listen to Master Gu. We'll do whatever you say." Everyone expressed their support.

Gu Ji took out the planning map he had drawn these days and unfolded it for everyone to see. On it was a colorful painting.

"Ah, where is this?"

"Yeah, this looks quite familiar."

Everyone spoke in confusion.

"Don't worry, let me tell you, this painting shows what our valley will look like in the future..."

Next, Gu Ji explained the future plans for the valley to everyone, and everyone was excited.

After learning about the plan, everyone started to choose a location for the kiln factory. In order to facilitate the collection of firewood, it was built near the woods.

Then Gu Ji began to assign tasks to everyone. Some people were responsible for clearing weeds and rubble, some were responsible for digging the soil, some were responsible for finding stones, some were responsible for building brick kilns according to Gu Ji's requirements, some were responsible for mixing mud, and some were responsible for making tools.

Everyone took action and worked enthusiastically. The orphans also actively participated in the work, helping to pass tools and do some work within their ability.

While everyone in the valley was busy building the kiln factory, the rebel army also rushed back to the main city they occupied.

At the city gate, General Lu stopped his horse.

Pretending to be weak, he said to the cold man, "Ah, Brother Chen, I have done my best to be worthy of you. In order to prevent your fake prince's body from rotting, we have been galloping all the way these days. Now we have finally returned to our Dragon City and will see the Lord soon. You should think about how to explain it to the Lord."

After that, he immediately made a gesture of invitation and said, "Military Advisor Chen, please come in!"

The gloomy man's face became even colder, and his anger was almost uncontrollable. He suddenly got off the horse and quickly went to the mansion of the leader of the rebellion in the city.

After receiving the message, everyone entered the palace and came before the master they had mentioned.

I saw a man sitting on the main seat in the house. He was about fifty years old, with a pair of bright eyes and a slightly curly beard on his face.

The rebel soldier surnamed Lu and the military advisor surnamed Chen hurried forward, knelt down and saluted, saying, "Greetings, lord."

"You're back. How did things go?" the man asked in a dignified voice.

"My lord, I have done what you ordered to protect the military advisor and kidnap the emperor's grandson." The rebel soldier surnamed Lu spoke first.

"It's just that the military advisor didn't trust me. He insisted on taking care of the little grandson personally along the way, which caused the grandson to escape. He also caused me to suffer heavy losses, and only ten of my brothers were left. Moreover, the military advisor didn't allow me to arrest the little grandson. I beg you, lord, to do the justice for me and for my dead brothers." The rebel soldier surnamed Lu exaggerated.

The man called the Lord looked at the military advisor named Chen and said, "Military advisor, what's going on?"

Military Advisor Chen kowtowed and said, "My lord, the emperor's grandson was indeed guarded by my subordinates. When he passed by Weng County, the county magistrate led his men to try to stop him, but they were forced into a chaotic battle, which gave the emperor's grandson an opportunity to switch himself with the corpse."

"I did not stop him from arresting the little Huang Sun, but I stopped him from going down the tunnel to look for women for pleasure because he had not yet discovered that the Huang Sun had been swapped."

"As for the brothers who died in the battle, they died in the battle trying to kill the county magistrate who tried to stop us. We killed thousands of people with only thirty or so men. Weng County was completely burned down, and the women and children who escaped were also killed by us in the tunnels."

"Well, all the men of my Red Army are great. Give each of their families a reward of 1,000 taels of silver," the man said with a wave of his hand.

"On behalf of my brothers, I thank you for your reward." The rebel soldier surnamed Lu kowtowed and thanked him. Then he continued unwillingly, "My lord, the little grandson we captured with great effort finally escaped from the hands of Military Advisor Chen."

"My lord, this was indeed my mistake, but I can be sure that the little grandson was also smoked to death in the tunnel." Military Advisor Chen said.

"Military Advisor Chen, you can't determine the life or death of the little emperor's grandson based on your guesswork alone," General Lu questioned.

"General Lu, you may have forgotten that when I wanted to go back to look for confirmation, wasn't it you who refused to cooperate?"

"You..." General Lu was furious and pointed at Military Advisor Chen.

Military Advisor Chen ignored him and said, "My lord, the county magistrate locked the other gates to prevent us from leaving the city. We have been guarding the north gate, and no one has gone out. If the little emperor wanted to go out, he must have gone through the tunnel. So I infer that the little emperor must have been burned to death."

"My lord, I will send someone to Weng County to check. However, the most urgent thing is our next plan. It is not important now whether it is the real little grandson of the emperor. As long as people believe it, it is enough. Please make the decision, my lord."
