C16 (2/2)

He was thin and weak, and he was not well off in a carriage. The weather was hot, and since he was wearing a uniform, he naturally couldn't bear it any longer.

Zhu Hongzhao was also sleepy. After bidding farewell, he walked towards his own guest room.

He coincidentally met a group of people who were travelling together with him today. These people should be from the business trip to the north and seemed to belong to the Guo Family of Taiyuan. There were more than ten ox-carts, three guards, and more than ten riders.

Zhu Hongzhao is a humble person in life, like a learned and courteous scholar, well-bred. Retreating to the side, Zhang Xuan smiled innocently.

Opposite him were a pair of uncles and nieces, father and son. Both of them had an extraordinary appearance. The elder was short and thick, and the youngster was white and handsome. Both of them wore silk and jade clothing, most likely due to their status.

If you go out and do business for the money, you have to do less.

Both parties nodded and smiled at each other, bidding each other farewell.

The two of them walked past each other. Zhu Hongzhao blinked his eyes and smelled the blood. He frowned slightly as he turned around to take a look. The handsome youth turned his head as well. The two of them looked at each other for a moment before retracting their gazes.

Zhu Hongzhao took out a folded fan made of white paper and waved it to dispel the faint smell of blood. Then, he hurried downstairs and saw that a bunch of people were still eating and chatting. Zhu Hongzhao gave a look to Zhao Qi on the side table before leaving the relay station lobby.

Seeing the stuttering Chen Ce staring blankly at the moon in the yard, he turned his head to look at Zhu Hongzhao after hearing the sound of footsteps. His face tightened as he forced out a word: ”It's raining.”

”Tomorrow, there will be rain. There's a change in the moonlight. Be careful, luggage. ”

With that, Chen Ce left in a hurry. Zhu Hongzhao shook his head. This was really a weird teenager with mild autism.

Zhao Qi followed closely into the yard and heard Zhu Hongzhao say: ”Manager Zhao, prepare some warm food for my father and arrange for servant to carry down the books and luggage boxes from the ox-cart and place them in the lobby.”

Zhu Hongzhao is only a little kid now, but he has three days to transcribe thirteen books of heroic deeds, the will to change the name also engaged. From Zhao Qi's point of view, Zhu Hongzhao was no longer that naughty child, but a Young Lord.

Without asking the reason, he bowed in agreement. This was Zhu Hongzhao's prestige.

If his cheap older brother Zhu Honglin were to say these words, Zhao Qi would definitely ask him for the reason of carrying the box. It's a nuisance, moving down at night, moving up tomorrow morning when we leave. Although the ones who helped were servant, these servant were military men with the name of servant. It was not a problem for them to kill people with blades.

When Zhao Qi left, Zhu Hongzhao looked up at the moon and shrugged. Why didn't he see that this thing could be used as a weather forecast? She only remembered that in her previous life, when she was still in middle school, there was a text about seeing the weather, but she forgot it completely.

It was just as Chen Ce said, the sky had changed in the middle of the night.

Thick dark clouds covered the sky as several bolts of bright yellow lightning struck down. The whole sky was covered by a lightning web, which was mighty and shook Zhu Hongzhao out of his deep slumber.

It was just thunder. He turned around on the bed and wrapped himself up tightly with the blanket. It was going to rain, and it would be very cold in the middle of the night. In his daze, he did not forget to cover himself with the blanket.

Zhu Honglin, who was sleeping in the same room, was awakened by the sound of thunder. Streams of lightning illuminated the sky, and it also brightened up the room through the paper window. Shrinking into the blanket, Zhu Honglin's face was filled with fear.

Hurried footsteps sounded in the corridor, startling Hee Chong, who was sleeping soundly. He immediately put on his clothes with a knife and pushed open the door. The group of merchants saw the middle-aged man, the leader of the Guo family, walking down the stairs in his clothes and panic.

Immediately after, the candles in Zhu Yisu's room lit up, the lights in the surrounding rooms started to light up, and the eight servant s all stood up.

Zhu Honglin also lit up the candles in the room and walked to Zhu Hongzhao's window. He reached out to push his younger brother under the blanket. Feeling uneasy, he cried out, ”Erlang, Erlang?”

”It's just thunder, why is brother doing this?”

Zhu Hongzhao rolled to his feet, making Zhu Honglin blush. He went to the window and opened it. The village under the night sky was illuminated by the lightning, making it as bright as day. Looking through the window, he could see everything.

Suddenly, he shuddered and picked up the felt hat on the table, hurriedly saying, ”Brother, quickly head downstairs to the main hall, I'll go call my father.”

Dammit, there aren't any lightning rods these days.” Dammit, there aren't any lightning needles these days. In a small village with low buildings on average, this could be said to be a crane in a flock of chickens. Wasn't this asking for a thunderbolt?

Pushing the door open and seeing Hee Chong, Zhu Hongzhao then saw that the houses in the surrounding servant all had their lights lit up, and anxiously said: ”The relay stations are tall, I'm afraid there's a lightning strike!”
