In order not to attract attention, Ning Ze put on makeup and became a hawker, and did not ride a claw Huang Feidian, and switched to a flatbed carriage.

Hua Erniang walked with him and put on makeup to become a peasant woman.

He pulled a few boxes of small items that were essential for ordinary life in the car and headed south towards Dageng County, Chengzhou.

As Ning Ze's identity, there is no need to forge documents, but directly order a new identity. As long as you avoid important officials in various counties and counties, you will basically not be discovered.

I really do business along the way, passing through various cities, selling and replenishing goods, making it the same as it is.

From Huajun to Danjun, we went south and passed Tong and Ba, and finally entered Chengzhou's territory, making a little money.

Along the way, no one recognized this person who deliberately made his hair messy, blackened his face slightly, and dressed in simple common clothes, was the King of Danyang, who was powerful in the court and the emperor Ning Ze of the current dynasty.

After passing through various city gates, the new identity documents are particularly effective. Most people do not know Ning Ze who is arrogant. After all, there is no TV, newspaper, and no photography in this era. No one would have thought that the dignified man, the Danyang King, who is below one person, would be so bored that he pretended to be a hawker and ran around everywhere.

The public security of China is still good. Ningze's policy of benefiting the people will be implemented and most people will solve the problem of food and clothing. Life will be better and no one will rebel.

In addition, Ning Ze's reputation is not bad, and the morale of the army everywhere in the country is high. As long as there are riot bandits, they will be quickly calmed down.

Not to mention that in order to clear the Liang Kingdom's detailed base some time ago, some small thieves hid in the mountains and forests and dared not act rashly in order to avoid the limelight.

The only trouble is probably the weather.

Although Ningze can predict weather through various environmental conditions, it is not a modern society after all. It is often wilderness during the journey, and the extreme climate is quite troublesome.

For example, now, I have walked dozens of miles away from the previous village. In front of me, except for the bumpy yellow mud roads, there is endless wasteland and no trace of people can be seen.

Moreover, there is a plain terrain nearby, with sparse trees and flat terrain.

As we walked, heavy rain poured down. Relying on the oil umbrella on the truck could not protect the two of them from being wet.

There is no place to shelter from the rain nearby, and there is nothing we can do except continue to move forward in the rain.

Fortunately, when marching and fighting, it was very common to all kinds of extreme weather. The two of them drove and observed along the way. While rushing in the rain, they looked for the possibility of a shelter from the rain.

But there is no village or shop in front of the village, and there is no barren mountains and trees. The tallest tree on the way is only at the neck, and it has not even exceeded its basic height. How can it block the wind and rain?

It’s not okay to stop. The strong wind kept blowing behind, and the rain was coming slanted, and the oil umbrella could not resist it.

After half a day, the two of them had extremely heavy clothes, all of them were moisture, and their skin was even soaked.

"If I had known to dress up as a higher-ranking businessman, the carriage would not have been so wet." Ning Ze shook the reins with one hand, letting the horse continue running forward, while constantly wiping his face, wiped away a lot of rain to ensure his vision.

The main reason is that he dressed up as a big businessman is too attractive. When passing through cities in various places, he may attract local officials or be handed over to the mansion by officials.

He should try his best to avoid it and ensure that his whereabouts are kept confidential. It is more suitable for insignificant hawkers like now.

The climate in Chengzhou is too different from that in Jinzhou. If it had expected it would rain heavily here, it should have prepared defensive measures in advance.

Keep moving forward along the road. Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Hua Erniang was a little worried: "Prince, the rain doesn't seem to stop for a while. Once it gets dark, there is no way to light the torch and cannot rush to the road. What should I do?"

"I was negligent. I didn't expect that the weather in Chengzhou changed so quickly, and the rainfall was incomparable to Jinzhou!" Ning Ze shouted, "I can only continue to move forward, hoping to find a place to shelter from the rain as soon as possible!"

The rain was too heavy, and both of them had to shout and shout, otherwise they would not be able to hear it.

It was raining all night long, and at this unlucky moment, lightning and thunder began to roar.

The two of them are now in a high position. The most depressing thing is that they are in a smooth road wherever they look, without any cover. If they continue to rush, if they are unlucky, they will hit the lightning and cannot even hide.

There is nothing that Ning Ze carries with him, and it cannot change the situation at all.

In desperation, he could only be worried about the thunderstorm and accelerated, and the carriage was bumpy all the way.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, the road was getting darker and harder, the two of them were getting anxious, and they couldn't care about talking, and they didn't care about being soaked in the thunderstorm that they were desperately rushing to the road.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sky finally became completely gloomy and darkness came, but the heavy rain did not stop.

If it weren't for the lightning and thunder that could illuminate the road in an instant, I'm afraid the car would have deviated from the track long ago.

The more you move forward, the more anxious you are.

If this continues, I can only find a place to stop, be watered by heavy rain all night, and then bet on luck, hoping not to be struck by lightning.

At this moment, Hua Erniang suddenly saw a faint light in the distance and shouted at Ning Ze: "Prince! Is there a fire there?"

Following the direction she pointed, Ning Ze checked in the rain and saw a vague light that was blocked by rain in the darkness and was vaguely unaware of.

To be safe, avoid staying in thunderstorms and whipping the horse hard and letting it run at full speed.

When the carriage chased the flames and deviated from the avenue and arrived in a winding circle, it saw a yellow mud and black tiled building with no neighbors and a courtyard that was sitting alone in front of it.

Speaking of this situation, such a remote place, especially in extreme thunderstorms, it is easy to remind people of the haunted houses in horror movies.

There is a brighter fire in the house, so there should be someone.

Without caring about so much, Ning Ze parked the carriage outside the house and took Hua Erniang to the door and knocked wildly.

After a while, the door creaked and opened a crack. There was an old man in his fifties, fifty or sixty years old, looking alertly at the two people who were soaked all over and kept dripping water on the ground.

"Uncle!" Ning Ze said hurriedly, "We are passing by. There is no way to continue traveling in this kind of weather. Can we get into the house to shelter from the rain and change into wet clothes?"

The old man shook his head: "I am not convenient for reception, you can go!"

"Uncle, we have no place to go!" Ning Ze said, "I was soaked in the rain for an afternoon and I was almost unable to hold on. I can't find any shelter from the rain around, so I can only trouble you!"

"No, no!" the old man shook his head, "You guys go quickly!"

"Bold!" Hua Erniang was anxious, "Do you know..."

Seeing that she was about to tell her identity in a hurry, Ning Ze quickly stopped her and said in a reproachful tone: "Er Niang, if we are asking others for help when we go out, how can we be rude?"

When Hua Erniang heard what he said, she could only nod and reach out to wipe the rain on her face.

"Uncle, my friend is not polite, please don't be surprised!" Ning Ze reached out and took out his purse from his arms, "We can pay, just want to stay here for one night. I see you have several houses here, can you make a free one? The great kindness and virtue are in mind!"

The old man looked at Ning Ze, then at his purse, shook his head and said, "This is not an inn, and I don't want to entertain guests. Please leave!"

Seeing that he was not in trouble, Hua Erniang was a little angry and prepared to roll up her sleeves and move them.

Ning Ze quickly stopped him, thought for a while and said to the old man: "Uncle, I'm sorry for disturbing without authorization! It's just that the inner person is pregnant. If the body is not dry in time, once it is infected, it will be a corpse and two lives! Everyone has compassion, please help!"

When Hua Erniang heard this, she widened her eyes and looked at Ning Ze, thinking, why are you pregnant? I am still a big yellow girl!

The old man looked at Ning Ze, then Hua Erniang, with a hesitant expression. After thinking for a long time, he asked, "Can you work?"

"Ah?" Ning Ze was asked by his question, with a question mark on his face.

"I said, can you work?" The old man looked at Ning Ze, "If you want to be able to work, go to this house to help me do things. Your wife can rest in the cabin next to her."

"Yes, yes!" Ning Ze said hurriedly, afraid that he would change his mind, "Uncle, I can do any job."

"Okay! The carriage can be pulled into the shed, and you and your husband can go there to change into clean clothes." The old man finally felt soft-hearted.

"Thank you, uncle!" Ning Ze took out a handful of copper coins from his purse, "This room fee..."

"Forget the money, change your clothes quickly and help me do things!"

"Hey!" Ning Ze agreed, ran over and opened the box in the middle, took out the package containing clean clothes from it, and threw it directly to Hua Erniang, "You go into the house and change the wet clothes first, and I will pull the carriage closer to the shed."

This box is placed under an oil umbrella. Although it is wet with rain on the outside, it is still dry inside because it is wrapped with an oil cloth in advance.

Hua Erniang took the bag and hurried to the adjacent hut on the side. After entering, she closed the doors and windows.

Ning Ze pulled the carriage over, took out the car body under the shed, tied the wet horse, took off a bundle of stone for its grass to fill its stomach, and first took the fabric to wipe it dry.

Hua Erniang quickly wiped her body in the house, changed out of her wet clothes, and came to take care of the horse instead of Ning Ze.

Ning Ze quickly went into the house and took off his wet clothes, wiped his body dry, and changed into a cloth suit.

Finally, it was a little better. The old man took a handheld stove and placed it carefully in the house: "Let your wife roast the fire, there is a clean quilt over there."

"Thank you, uncle!" Ning Ze said gratefully, "I will remember your great kindness firmly. I will thank you very much in the future!"

"Don't go on the other day, I'll help me tonight."

"Hey!" Ning Ze agreed.

When the old man returned to the room just now, he turned to Hua Erniang: "You can stay here tonight and have a good rest. Quickly lay the quilt and be careful when using the stove."

"How can the prince do things and rest the subordinates?" Hua Erniang said, "It's better to rest here..."

"Now you and I are husband and wife. I just told the uncle that you are pregnant." Ning Ze smiled, "Besides, how can you let you live in the same room with a strange man? Although he is definitely not your opponent, it is not suitable! Stay honestly, did you hear it?"

"Here!"
