Huang Shigong supported his old waist and climbed down from the wall, walked to the haystack, and pulled out the tricycle he had hidden.

I am old, I am old~

I climbed up the wall and almost couldn't get down.

The wheels rolled over the ground, making a squeaking sound that was particularly harsh in the quiet alley.

Huang Shigong rode a tricycle under the faint moonlight. He hunched his back, looked around vigilantly, and carefully avoided the patrolling yamen runners.

Finally, a quarter of an hour later, they arrived at the courtyard they had found in advance.

He stopped the car, carefully pushed it into a corner of the courtyard wall, covered it with a worn straw mat, and then walked to the gate of the courtyard.

He fumbled in his arms for a while, took out a somewhat worn key, and was about to open the door when suddenly, a chill came from behind.

Before he could react, a strong hand tightly blocked his mouth from behind, while another hand tightly strangled his arm.

"Hmm, hmm..." Huang Shigong's eyes widened and he made indistinct sounds.

what's the situation?

Who is harming him?

Could it be that boy?

How rude!

I really misjudged him!

Huang Shigong struggled with all his might, but he was old and could not match the young and strong.

What's more, there were four people coming to arrest him.

The four men cooperated well. One of them controlled Huang Shigong's mouth and arms, and the other three quickly stepped forward. One held down his hands, one locked his legs, and the remaining one surrounded them, ready to help at any time.

Huang Shigong twisted his body in vain and kicked his feet in the air, but he could not break free from the iron-like restraints.

Soon, with a muffled groan, one of them raised his palm and struck Huang Shigong on the back of the neck. Huang Shigong felt a black screen in front of his eyes and lost consciousness.

The four of them worked together to move him onto the tricycle, quickly tied him up with ropes, blocked Huang Shigong's mouth with a cloth, and then piled straw on the roof to try not to attract attention.

Among the four men, the leader, a tall man in black, had a stern look in his eyes. He whispered, "Keep the man under guard and take him to Xianyang immediately. I need to hurry back to Zhang Liang."

The other man in black nodded in understanding and said, "Okay, then be careful. If you are exposed, evacuate as soon as possible."

"Got it." The leader responded and turned around and disappeared into the night.

The remaining three people quickly pushed the tricycle to the entrance of the alley, looked around, and after confirming that there were no yamen runners, they quickly drove towards Xianyang.

The night is still deep.

The man in black climbed over several rooftops and quickly disappeared under the moonlight.

After seeing off Huang Shi Gong, Zhang Liang opened the military book and took a few glances at it. He was attracted by the contents and immersed in it.

It was the wild cat on the roadside that woke him up. He hurriedly put the military book in his arms and rushed to his destination.

It was not until dawn that he successfully returned. As soon as he entered the yard, he happened to run into Tiedan at the bedroom door.

Tiedan was dressed in black, his hair a little messy. He yawned and waved at Zhang Liang, "Master, where have you been?"

Zhang Liang didn't answer, but instead asked Tiedan, "Why are you up too?"

Tiedan continued to yawn, "I don't know if it was because I drank too much water yesterday, but I was woken up by the need to pee."

The two of them talked and went into the house together.

In the small house, there is a table against the wall, and there is a small door on the east and west sides, connecting the two bedrooms.

Zhang Liang hurried through the small door on the west side, leaving only a sentence: "Tiedan, sleep a little longer. You still have to work during the day."

Tiedan was still yawning and slowly moving towards the east.

Only after he entered the room did Shanzi and Yemao, who had their eyes closed on the bed, half-open their eyes and ask softly, "Is everything going well?"

"Um……"

A low response came from Tiedan's throat, and after the words fell, the whole house fell into silence again.

The rustling sound of undressing could be heard, and soon, the sound of snoring filled the entire bedroom.

In the west wing opposite them, Zhang Liang did not sleep. He lit a candle and read the new book eagerly.

Even Ganfu's deafening snoring did not affect his thoughts at all.

As the days go by, everything in the world is quietly changing.

Su Jinyue sat by the window of the carriage, looking at the scenery outside that was gradually becoming familiar yet unfamiliar, and ripples appeared in her heart.

This time, she came to her fiefdom county again. It had only been two years since she last left, but it felt like a long century.

The carriage slowly drove into the county town. Su Jinyue lifted the curtain and saw a prosperous scene everywhere she looked.

The streets that were once narrow and cramped are now spacious and clean, and the buildings on both sides of the streets are staggered and orderly. They are no longer the low and dilapidated ones in our memories, but have been replaced by pavilions with carved beams and painted rafters, flying eaves and brackets, showing their grandeur.

It is worthy of being her fiefdom county!

There should be such earth-shaking changes!

The carriage stopped beside a very busy street. Su Jinyue instructed Tan to buy all the street snacks for herself.

The food stalls along the street were bustling with people, shouting one after another, making it difficult for her to keep up.

"Ice bowl, the emperor's favorite ice bowl..."

"Meatballs, vegetarian meatballs, meatballs, please come in, sir~"

The shops on both sides of the street are lined up next to each other, with a wide variety of goods.

The freshly baked pastries are steaming, and the sweet fragrance fills the air, making people salivate.

Su Jinyue felt the lively atmosphere, took the snacks bought by Tan, and couldn't wait to stuff them into her mouth.

“Huh…hot…whoosh…delicious!”

"You guys eat too. Tell someone to buy some more. I'm treating you all today. You'll be full!"

Dan took the cold tea and handed it to Su Jinyue, and whispered: "Master, please drink slowly. Be careful of the heat. If you like it, ask the chef to learn how to make it and make it for you every day in the future."

Su Jinyue swallowed the meatballs in her mouth with a slurp. "This snack is only authentic if it's bought on the street. I'll buy some more for my family later."

"Okay, Master, don't worry, I will make arrangements."

The carriage continued to move forward and finally stopped not far from the charity school.

Su Jinyue opened the curtains and listened to the children's clear reading voices coming from the school, and her mood gradually calmed down.

She closed her eyes and recited quietly along with the children, word for word.

"Heaven is supreme, earth is humble; heaven and earth are in their proper place. Light and pure is heaven, heavy and turbid is earth. The sun, moon, and stars are the most beautiful things in heaven..."

"When rain comes, how do clouds rise? By the rising of water. When rain falls? By the rising of clouds..."

"Only the clear sky brings the rainbow, only the thunder of lightning strikes. It disperses into mist and condenses into hail. The sun wanes when it is at its zenith, and the moon wanes when it is full..."

It was Mr. Jiaofeng's "Mingwu Mengqiu" that she had talked about before.

Unexpectedly, it was taken by the Mohists, who modified it and put it into elementary school textbooks.
