”If we head north now, then that would be the remnants of the Swallow Mountain Range, and we would be too far away from the Huangzhuang. Could it be that the Emperor is really going somewhere?”

”That's right, I think so too. After all, the emperor and empress are proud and precious people. As their masters, they don't seem like people who would suffer.”

”What are you all saying? Why can't the Emperor suffer?” The people sent by the East Factory had been waiting for a long time. However, there were still no traces of the emperor and queen. This group of people headed towards the north, and only now after exiting the forest did they realize that the place where the Huangzhuang was located was indeed a treasure trove.

It turned out that the entire Huangzhuang area belonged to a basin. The fields where the Huangzhuang was located were coincidentally flat, and there were even small rivers flowing through them. Therefore, even after Cao Jixiang took over the land, the emperor did not give up.

Now, the people from East Factory finally understood why. Huangzhuang was facing a mountain, which was easy to defend but hard to attack. Also, the farmland was self-sufficient. It seemed that Cao Jiaxiang really had the suspicion that he was occupying the mountain as the king. But now, with the emperor gone, the territory of the Huangzhuang had caused a lot of trouble.

If the forest was dense, it meant that there were a lot of ferocious beasts and poisonous bugs. Therefore, the people of East Factory did not dare to rashly go find someone at night. On the contrary, at that time Zhang Siyan was brave, in order to protect the emperor, he had to choose a road at night to leave.

It could be said that with Zhang Siyan and Zhu Youtang's good luck, they would have to rely more on Zhang Siyan's conversations with the rural women.

Zhang Siyan had a photographic memory of his own, so when he arrived at Huangzhuang, all of Zhang Siyan's own abilities were used on him. It turned out that when he was in Zhang Mansion, the Lady Plum Stone had been training Zhang Siyan's skills intentionally or unintentionally. For example, the Records of Knowledge. For example, the ability to observe one's surroundings.

Lady Plum Stone only planned for his late husband's last wish to be inherited and to spread it far and wide. This way, Zhang Siyan had to have the ability to protect himself, so he could not die easily. Therefore, Lady Plum Stone asked Zhang Siyan to observe his surroundings whenever and whether there was any danger.

Zhang Siyan himself also needed to be more meticulous in his surrounding because of his identity and lack of trust. Thus, in this unfamiliar place like Huangzhuang, the Queen began to use her heart to prattle on.

Zhang Siyan found out a lot of things from the farmer's wife. For example, when they were not full, the men would go up the mountain to hunt. At this time, they had to pay attention to the direction they were heading towards.

The peasant woman talked to Zhang Siyan because she knew that Zhang Siyan's identity was noble and respected. He also felt that these noblemen only wanted to understand the lives of the villagers because they were bored. With her intuition, the peasant woman still said some deep words.

For example, the Huangzhuang's general director looked like a Maitreya Buddha, but she was actually a demon from hell. As for the dense forest around Huangzhuang, other than the north side, which was relatively flat, there was a gap in the north side so large animals did not like to go there.

Thus, this northern terrain was the safest. If there was a lack of food on a winter's day, everyone would go north. Poison snakes and fierce beasts were things that would never be safer because of this.

If others had heard these words before, they would have passed, but Zhang Siyan was not like that. When Zhang Siyan first brought the emperor to flee for his life, the first thing he thought of was fleeing towards the north. Thus, everyone thought that the most dangerous place in the entire Huangzhuang was where the emperor and empress weren't willing to return to. Instead, it was the most likely place.

It was also because of Zhang Siyan's ability that he managed to buy Zhu Youtang such a long time to escape.

”Well, no matter what you think of this place. But in my eyes, that's what we're going to do, north, south, east, and west. If the eunuch is in a hurry, you can afford to wait. ”

As expected, once Wei Shen was brought out, everyone subconsciously kept their mouths shut. Wei Shen had a lot of authority and for those who dared to refute him, he would always serve them with a heavy punishment. Everyone in the East Factory knew that if they offended the Wei Shen, they wouldn't be too far away from death.

The people of the imperial guards also heard the words of the people of the East Factory. Thinking back to what he had seen, the commander of the imperial guards didn't dare to let his guard down anymore. After doing a killing gesture, the silent battle in the forest began again.

”This area is filled with villages. His Majesty was injured and the Lord has mentioned it before.” If the Emperor wanted to heal his injuries, he would naturally have to stop with the Empress. Right now, all the villages within fifty miles were to be searched one by one. We must find the Empress and Her Majesty. ”

Right now, the imperial guards had 300 people following the 100 people, which was a huge advantage in numbers. Therefore, Su Luo had left a hundred people with his assistant to exterminate the remnants of the East Factory, while the other half went from house to house to look for people.

The palace's medicinal ingredients had always been excellent, so the things Zhu Youtang had brought with him were also the best. After using the best medicinal ingredients, Zhang Siyan meticulously took care of him. Therefore, the rate at which Zhu Youtang was recovering was also extremely fast.

The reason why he was still staying in the countryside was because Zhu Youtang still wanted to wait for the imperial guards to find him. It was just that Zhang Siyan's unintentional words had dispelled the emperor's thoughts.

”Why hasn't His Majesty forgotten to go to the capital?” After all, you've been away from the capital for too long. Furthermore, imperial guards did not come looking for us, could it be that there is actually a traitor within the imperial guards? ”

Zhu Youtang did not believe it, and did not want to think about it. If there was any doubt about imperial guards's loyalty to him, it would be doubt about Gu Jianzhi's loyalty to him. No matter what, the Emperor didn't want it.

So, for a time, the emperor did not pay attention to Zhang Siyan. In the evening, the two people at the table even inexplicably started a cold war. It was just that the emperor was unwilling to speak with Zhang Siyan unilaterally, while Zhang Siyan and the grandchildren of his eldest sister-in-law were fighting passionately with each other.

”Let's clean up.” After a sleepless night, the emperor was already determined to leave this place. Zhang Siyan's words were not wrong, now that he had fallen into trouble, a traitor had actually appeared in the imperial guards. He did not know this, but Zhang Siyan could only use his own martial power to protect him, and could not protect the second person.

Therefore, the emperor immediately gave an order to Zhang Siyan the next day, requesting him to set off.

At this time, Zhu Youtang had forgotten that he only had the title of Emperor, but didn't have the authority of an Emperor. However, Zhang Siyan didn't argue with the emperor. The emperor wasn't only his own wife.

Ever since Zhang Siyan found out the true identity of the emperor, he always treated the emperor as his wife. Because Zhang Siyan thought this, although the Emperor's words were orders, Zhang Siyan was still very happy to accept them.
