Traveling through an ancient military camp: Bao'er's survival song

Peng Zizheng left the palace after 1-3 PM.

After leaving the palace, he did not return to General De's mansion, but went to Pinglan Mountain in the far suburbs, where several generations of Luo family members were buried; it was the ancestral tomb of the Luo family.

He knelt before the graves of his grandmother and parents, murmuring, "Grandmother, Mother, can you tell Binghe who the enemy of my Luo family is? Your unfilial son has spent nearly ten years investigating and planning, all for naught... What should I do..."

The scroll the emperor showed him clearly recorded all of Wu Peng'en's itinerary from that day ten years ago. Just after noon, Wu Peng'en was summoned by the emperor to the Fengnong Altar to participate in the plowing ceremony. It was impossible for Wu Peng'en to have appeared at the Luo residence that night.

Peng Zizheng knelt until the sun was setting before staggering down the mountain. His outer robe was stained with mud and twigs, which he didn't bother to brush off. He walked aimlessly at the foot of the mountain. His warhorse followed behind him, silently accompanying its master.

There was a tavern by the roadside where ordinary people lived. Peng Zizheng paused for a moment, then went in and ordered ten jars of turbid wine. He didn't ask for any snacks, but just gulped down bowl after bowl of the turbid wine.

The tavern owner, seeing that the drunkard, who had already consumed eight or nine jars of wine, was tall and strong and dressed in fine clothes, feared he might cause trouble while drunk or even drink himself to death there. Seeing that it was getting late, he simply made an excuse that the tavern was closing and, with a forced smile, ushered this potential threat out.

A gust of cold wind jolted Peng Zizheng, who was drunk, back to his senses and he realized that he was walking down the road carrying a wine jar in each hand. He decided to keep drinking from the jar as he walked. As he drank, he felt the urge to urinate, so he threw the wine jar in the middle of the road, lifted his robe, pulled down his waistband, and urinated under the roots of a tree by the roadside.

Wu Suining, who had just finished applying makeup to the young lady of the Duke of Qi's family, was sitting in the carriage with her maids Qiu Guang and Leng Hua when she suddenly heard a cracking sound, followed by the neighing of horses and the jolting caused by the carriage stopping abruptly.

Qiu Guang lifted the carriage curtain and asked the driver, "Uncle Sun, what happened?"

Mr. Sun, who was in his forties, had a sturdy build and a round face: "I'm sorry to have disturbed you, Miss. He's a drunkard who broke a jar and startled the horse."

Qiu Guang curled his lip: "Why are there always these idle rascals?"

Wu Suining, who was in the car, did not want to stay any longer and instructed Uncle Sun, "Let's go around that road."

Uncle Sun shook the reins, guiding the horse around the broken pottery in the middle of the road. Just as he was about to whip the horse to go faster, he saw the drunkard who had been urinating by the roadside rush over, grab the horse's mane, and shout, his tongue thick with the smell of alcohol, "Who said I'm idle?"

Uncle Sun lashed out with his whip, threatening, "Are you tired of living, you filthy thing? You dare to stop the carriage of Grand Tutor Wu?"

Unexpectedly, the drunkard caught the whip that was being lashed out at him, chuckled, and then said incoherently, "Teacher Wu, what a coincidence! I apologize to you." With that, he grabbed the whip, threw Uncle Sun off the carriage, and strode forward to lift the curtain and get inside.

The fiery Qiu Guang slapped the head as soon as it peeked in, shouting, "Get out! This is the carriage of the eldest daughter of the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty. If you don't want to die, get out of here right now!"

Peng Zizheng shook his dizzy head, opened his drunken, hazy eyes, and, by the light of the full moon like a silver platter, saw two young women sitting inside the carriage. He pointed at the woman sitting in the center and said, "I know you. You're bullying me." With that, he grabbed the woman, jumped out of the carriage, and then mounted his warhorse, which had been following him, and galloped away.

Autumn light and cold painting scream.

Under the emperor's very nose, how could anyone dare to do that!

Leng Hua hurriedly instructed Uncle Sun: "Uncle Sun, quick, unload the carriage, you ride off and chase after them, Qiu Guang and I will go back to the manor to call for help!"
