It was almost dark when they finally reached the farmyard.

Village Chief Zhao had received their call previously and had already arranged for food and accommodation.

Looking at the fragrant goose meat in the pot and the roasted bun at the side, Zeng Sanshui felt that he could finish 10 bowls of rice alone.

Zeng Sanshui picked up a piece of goose meat and placed it in his mouth. The rich fresh taste and the just right texture immediately captivated his taste buds.

Zeng Sanshui wolfed down the meat as if he had never eaten in his life.

After eating the meat, he gulped down a few more bowls of seafood soup. He touched his round stomach and recalled his question for Village Chief Zhao, who was eating with him, “I’ve also eaten many stewed goose in an iron pot. How is it that the one prepared here are more fragrant than the ones made by others!”

Village Chief Zhao smiled. “Our geese were raised by eating small fish and prawns and good ingredients. On a normal day, they even have vegetables and fruits as add-ons. If the meat is not good, it doesn’t make sense.”

“When cooking, we added the unique seasonings of our Carefree Kingdom. There is oyster sauce, soy sauce, and seasoning, so it will definitely be delicious!”

Zeng Sanshui knew nothing about cooking. In the past, as long as he could cook it and not die from eating it, it was enough.

This journey to the southern frontier in less than a month had made him become a picky eater.

There was too much delicious food.

Zeng Sanshui couldn’t help but say, “Then give me some seasoning. 1’11 bring it back and let my chef make it for me.”

With that, he thought of something and hurriedly asked, “Don’t tell me we have to pay taxes too?”

Village Chief Zhao laughed and said, “It’s not worth much. I can give it to the general. There’s no need to pay taxes.”

Lu Ye smiled too. “Unless you want to buy a few thousand bottles at once and bring them back.”

Why would Zeng Sanshui buy so many seasonings and bring them back? It was not a necessity, nor was it a particularly precious thing. He also smiled. “Thank you, old mister.”

It was obvious from Village Chief Zhao’s temperament that he was a very cultured person.

Village Chief Zhao shook his head. “General Zeng, you’re too polite. It’s already late. General, you can visit the greenhouse tomorrow.”

After eating and drinking his fill, Zeng Sanshui became a little sluggish. He nodded. “Alright.”

He wandered around the courtyard of the agricultural garden, looking at the big pumpkins on the vines, then at the beautiful koi fishes in the water. Bai Shining and his family were locked up in a room with a small window and eating a lunchbox with two meat and one vegetable dish.

After dinner, Bai Shining relieved himself on the simple bucket. Thinking of the room provided by the rest station, he felt that he was not even living like a person now.

He kicked the corner of the wall hatefully and jumped in pain. “b.a.s.t.a.r.d!!!”

Thinking that it was not far from the next time the poison acted up, he was burning with anxiety.

If Bai Wutong couldn’t even meet him, he would definitely die.

He had to think of a way to make these people believe that he was the biological father of the Great Empress.

Bai Shining shouted anxiously, “I’m your Great Empress’ biological father!”

When Village Chief Zhao heard this, he looked puzzled. He heard Lu Ye say, “We don’t have to care about the lunatic we caught halfway!”

Bai Shining shouted. Bai Xinshui also thought the same as him and also howled, “I’m the sister of your Great Empress!”

Jia Yuqin shouted, “I’m the Great Empress’s mother! You’re disregarding the influence of the royal family! It’s a capital crime!”

Village Chief Zhao immediately frowned. “There are so many lunatics.”

Lu Ye said, “I’ll get someone to take a look.”

After a while, footsteps came from outside the small house.

Bai Shining reached out his hand through the iron window. “I’m really the Great Empress’s biological father. As long as you let me go now, 1’11 let bygones be bygones. I’ll even let her reward you. If you don’t let me go, I’ll definitely not let you off.”

The soldier frowned and shouted, “Behave yourself. If you continue to make noise, 1’11 gag your mouths.”

Bai Shining was shocked. He could tell that the soldier was serious and immediately fell silent.

Bai Xinshui and Jia Yuqin, who were next door, were trembling in fear. If they had known that their situation would turn out like this after coming to the southern frontier, they would have fled halfway.

At the thought that even if they escaped, they would be caught by Emperor Ling Hui, they felt even more despair.

Now, they could only pray that they could meet Bai Wutong before they were locked up in the southern prison.

The next day, Zeng Sanshui was woken up early in the morning by the sound of people outside.

He sat up in bed and looked at the window. It was still dark.

Zeng Sanshui and Qu Yuanxian put on their clothes and came to the courtyard. They saw Village Chief Zhao carrying a hoe and preparing to go to the field.

When Village Chief Zhao saw him and Qu Yuanxian, he said with a smile, “Breakfast will take a while. Wait a moment.”

Hearing Village Chief Zhao’s kind and polite words, Qu Yuanxian had mixed feelings.

It was as if they had returned to Youjia Village and Village Chief Zhao was warmly inviting them to his house for dinner.

It seemed like nothing have changed, or everything might have changed.

After eating too much the previous night, Zeng Sanshui was not very hungry. “Are you going to the fields? Are you going into the greenhouse? I’ll go with you to take a look.”

Village Chief Zhao smiled and said, “Sure.”

Lan Jingbai followed with a hoe, looking like he wanted to help Village Chief Zhao.

Ziya quickly followed and even took the initiative to pick up the sickle. She looked very valiant.

Village Chief Zhao turned around, narrowed his eyes, and asked ambiguously, “Jingbai is about to start a family, right?”

Lan Jingbai immediately denied it. “No.” He glanced at Ziya, who seemed to be wagging a tail, and emphasized, “1 have nothing to do with her.”

Village Chief Zhao had the expression meaning to say, “Young man, do not be shy. They were all experienced people”. He suddenly asked, “Have you communicated with Muzhi? He’s sick and has a big cut on his waist.”

Before he could finish speaking, Lan Jingbai’s expression changed drastically. The hoe on his shoulder fell to the ground and he almost crushed Ziya’s foot behind him.

Seeing his frightened expression, Village Chief Zhao was about to say that he was fine and Doctor Gu said that it was some acute gastroenteritis and that he would be fine after it was removed. But Lan Jingbai had already disappeared like the wind.

Village Chief Zhao was stunned. When he reacted, he shouted, “Slow down, don’t fall!”

Ziya waved her sickle and chased after him. “Wait for me!”

Village Chief Zhao couldn’t help but laugh again. How good was Jingbai’s relationship with Muzhi? He didn’t even care about his sweetheart.

Lan Jingbai used his remaining rationality to apply for leave from Lu Ye. He mounted his horse and waved his whip. He forcefully shortened the one-day journey to half a day.

When he arrived at Carefree City, he could not ride horses anymore.

Lan Jingbai did not even bother to tie the reins and ran all the way to the Cui family’s villa.

Coincidentally, Cui Shiji and Madam Cui came out of the house.

Lan Jingbai knelt in front of them.

His messy bun, pale face, and heaving chest made one’s heart ache.

Cui Shiji subconsciously wanted to help him up. His hand was in midair, but his face turned cold and he retracted it.

“What are you doing here?”

Lan Jingbai’s rough voice said with difficulty, “Is… is Muzhi alright?”
