Chapter 213 Situ Jin Arrives at Dayangshu Village
Nanny Qin served many masters.
No matter whether a girl is married or not, no girl dares to say shamelessly that she will not marry a man from the royal family.
She knew from the Crown Princess' words that the Crown Prince could only marry her.
How is this possible? But Charlotte is a capable girl. She never lies.
It’s a pity that she is a girl, otherwise she would be a very lucky person.
In the evening, Charlotte saw Situ Jin and his friends were almost reaching a village.
This village is unremarkable.
There are more than fifty households, and every household has a male.
When Situ Jin and the secret guards arrived at the village.
A strong man came out to greet them.
He knelt on the ground and said, "Tian Heng respectfully welcomes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Charlotte looked at what was going on.
Isn't it a secret trip?
How do you know Situ Jin’s identity?
“This is Dayang Village, right?”
"Yes, Your Highness. The Emperor has sent someone to deliver a secret decree. Your humble servant Tianheng is here to respectfully welcome Your Highness."
Before Situ Jin left, his father told him to go to Dayang Village to find a man named Tian Heng. That's right.
"Yes. Father has mentioned you to me. We haven't had a good rest for a few days, so let's quickly arrange for the brothers to rest."
"Yes, Your Highness. It has been arranged long ago. Please follow me, Your Highness."
It turns out that Tian Heng is the secret guard beside the emperor.
He has been living in seclusion in Dayang Village for ten years.
Guarding the northern granary for the Mobei Kingdom.
There are fifty-five households in this village.
They are all soldiers who came from the border. They settled down here.
Became a guardian like Tianheng.
They earn their living here. Because it is a bitter and cold place, their life is extremely hard.
But they gritted their teeth and persevered through more than ten years.
They have land and three generations of their family have been soldiers.
No one left this desolate place because of the hardship of life.
The imperial grain must be replaced with new grain every three years.
Even in years of famine, they never used a single grain of food in the library.
Situ Jin feels proud and honored to have such a force.
What perseverance and loyalty.
Because it is difficult for outsiders to come in. The coastline is very long and is often covered with ice and snow every year.
It is also the weakest point. If there is an invasion from outside.
These soldiers couldn't stop it.
The recent increase in the number of spies has made the emperor worried.
Seeing that the emperor's son was about to get married, he had to fill this loophole before his son's wedding.
If the enemy didn't take advantage of the situation, not only would the wedding not be held, but it would also endanger several families who were exiled to the bitter cold.
They were all his important officials. He couldn't bear to part with them.
He hid it from Xia Luo because he was afraid that she would follow Situ Jin to suffer. He hid it from Xiao Dezi because he was afraid that Eunuch De would send people to protect the prince, which would let many people know the prince's whereabouts.
Eunuch De is a popular figure around the emperor.
His every move was monitored.
The place where Situ Jin lived was pretty good. It was warm inside.
But it’s also true that it’s cold outside.
He remembered that his father had told him to ask Tianheng to take out cotton clothes to keep the soldiers warm.
"Tian Heng, what's your last name?"
"My original name was Jing Tianheng. Later, the emperor said it was too complicated, so I called him Tianheng."
"Master Jing, my father said you have some cotton clothes here, please take them out and distribute them to each family. It's so cold, don't freeze when you go out."
"Your Highness, those are the things that the Emperor prepared for the soldiers who will go into battle and kill the enemy. You can't move them!"
"The mountains are covered in snow. It's so cold. How are your firewood preparations?"
"Your Highness, please prepare enough firewood for each household to burn until the beginning of next spring."
"That's good. As long as the house is warm, it's fine. What do you eat in winter?"
"Mix the sweet potatoes with some bran. Before it freezes, go to town and buy some mustard heads to make pickles to survive. Some families still have game. Stir-frying them will make you have some meat."
"You are the heroes of Mobei. Father told you to take out your cotton clothes. Just put the food in the granary. My subordinates will bring you supplies in a few days."
Even if Situ Jin wanted to give them food, it would be impossible for them to take it out.
That was the foundation of their protection for more than ten years.
He had no choice but to say that his people would deliver food in a few days.
There is so much rice, flour and various kinds of meat in the space.
Seeing their food and shelter, he felt mixed emotions.
While having dinner in the evening, he might have thought that the prince was coming.
I made some rabbit meat and shredded pork with mustard greens, boiled some sweet potatoes, and some solid steamed bread made of bran.
This is probably the best food.
Situ Jin thought that saving one hungry person could not save a hundred full people.
It’s true that they can make some money.
It is not acceptable for every household to stay in their warm houses.
Anyway, every family has enough firewood.
Then build a greenhouse and grow some vegetables. Raise some chickens, ducks, and fish. You can eat some yourself and sell some in town. This will be enough for the basic needs of life.
Every household can grow some vegetables in their house, enough for their own consumption.
At night, Situ Jin woke up from thirst.
Look, the secret guards are resting in the room outside the curtain.
He entered the space and drank the spiritual spring water.
"What's wrong? Are you hungry or thirsty? It's not easy to see you."
Xia Luo stood behind Situ Jin and almost choked Situ Jin's drink of water.
"Wife, you scared me to death. Have you been looking at me?"
"I was standing at the gate of the villa, and you went straight to the spiritual spring. I thought you woke up because you were hungry."
"The lives of the local people are so hard. We need to find a way to help them."
"Don't you already have brothers to support you?" Charlotte retorted.
"I don't have any brothers. I'm counting on my wife to support me."
"You are also the owner of this space, take whatever you want. I can't go there anyway."
"Wife, understand our father. He doesn't want you to go because he's afraid you'll suffer. The wedding day is coming soon, don't let anything get lost. Father doesn't know we have a space. I can't hide it from you even if I want to."
"Ah. Father is too worried. Being an emperor is not easy. Even if you take care of everything, there are still people who are not satisfied."
"That's right. I'm going to the Exiled Lands tomorrow. If I have a chance, I'll take some supplies with me so I don't have to worry about having brothers to support me."
"How many households are there over there?"
"Seven families were exiled recently, all of them were important officials. Thirteen families were exiled here before. They were rebellious officials and some people implicated by the fake prince. Oh! I remember, is the old Han family here?"
Situ Jin suddenly remembered that the fake prince and his family were also exiled to a bitter and cold place.
"Then you'd better change your appearance, otherwise that Han Po will rely on you. It will be difficult for you to leave then."
"Wife, since you have changed your face, you should come with me. I feel at ease with you around. Wear more clothes. If you feel cold, go into the space. If you feel hungry, go back to the manor to eat. Just come and accompany me for a while every day. It won't delay your etiquette learning."
What is this operation? Using space to move. This is really something special.
“Give me an identity.”
"You are my personal bodyguard. The secret guards never ask about these things. Tian Heng will not doubt it either."
"Then how will you contact Lord Tangang when you get to this bitter cold place?"
"There is a personal letter from the Emperor! I will give him a hint when the time comes. As the president of the Overwatch Council, he should be able to understand this clearly."
"That's settled then. I'm your delivery guy, your personal bodyguard. Sometimes I'll be here, sometimes I won't be there."
