The stall owners ran away, so naturally they couldn't spend the money.

The seventh lady took back the silver and said with a pity: "The chess piece looks pretty good, one or two silver should be worth it."

Zhu Houzhao: "..."

I was being deceived by someone. Is this girl really good in her mind?

Zhu Houzhao felt speechless and decided not to care.

I turned around and was about to leave, but I was stopped.

"Hey, this young master, thank you just now."

"Although I like the chess piece quite a bit."

Zhu Houzhao said speechlessly: "Since you like it, then go and buy it."

The seventh lady waved her hand and said with a smile: "Forget it, since she left, she would be in no way."

"Forget it if you don't have the chance."

"By the way, my name is Qi Niangzi, what are your name?"

Zhu Houzhao said vaguely: "This young master's surname is Zhu."

"Nothing is wrong, I'll leave first."

After saying that, he waved his hand and took the person away.

The seventh lady looked at his back and muttered, "Young Master Zhu..."

The maid who was standing beside him put the money away and said, "This young man is a good person."

"He helped us, and didn't ask us for compensation."

"But how did you know this young master, Seventh Lady?"

The seventh lady said with a smile: "I grabbed his wrong hand just now when I was watching the fun."

"But he wasn't angry either."

Maid: "So that's it."

But......

"These people from the Ming Dynasty always say something like 'men and women are not close to each other', and they are very pedantic."

"This young man seems to be different."

"I saw that you were deceived by the Seventh Lady, and I would not tell you if I took the initiative to help you. I looked pretty handsome."

"Hiss~"

The maid suddenly looked up and down at his lady.

"Seventh Lady, you are pretty. Could this young man fall in love with you?"

"So you didn't get angry when you grabbed his hand, and you took the initiative to help you."

The seventh lady was stunned by what she said.

"Look, have you fallen in love with me?"

I remembered that before Mr. Zhu left, he looked back, obviously looking at himself.

The seventh lady suddenly realized.

"Actually, that's how it is?"

She was embarrassed and played with her fingers around a strand of hair in front of her: "But he is from the Ming Dynasty."

"Forget it, we are like those chess pieces, and we are also destined to be together."

After saying that, the seventh lady looked at the direction where Zhu Houzhao disappeared.

......

After Zhu Houzhao left, she no longer had the mood to wander around.

He went back to the inn and listened to his subordinates reporting on the situation around him.

"Not long ago, a small group of Tatars attacked, and plundered outside the city and then withdrew."

"The Xuanfu walls are thick, so they didn't attack in so easily."

"But strangely, this small Tatar army didn't grab anything, and was willing to return empty-handed."

The Tartars came in and plundered, and they basically didn't leave in one day.

After all, it is impossible for them to find the right place in one go.

It takes at least a few days to leave.

If you can't grab anything, you will definitely have to stay for a while.

Zhu Houzhao nodded and asked someone to step down first.

Xuanfu is an important border defense center.

Zhu Houzhao's father, Emperor Hongzhi, was an architecture enthusiast himself.

He himself loves building things in the palace and the capital, but also loves building things on the border.

Over the years, the border has been using a contraction policy, focusing on defense.

Therefore, for more than ten years, the ranks of officials sent to the border have been construction leaders.

Everyone came to the frontier to build buildings.

They are nothing more than rectifying military affairs, strengthening the city walls, building bunkers, and then strengthening the city walls.

Such construction projects have been completed year after year.

The walls of these cities on the frontier cannot be opened even if the Tartars come with cannons.

Therefore, staying in the city is absolutely safe.

But in this way, you can't see anything.

Zhu Houzhao looked at the map in front of him, followed the route of the border and pointed to Datong.

"In just a few days, I can only walk along the Great Wall and see the border guards."

"It would be great if I could fight the Tartars..."

Zhu Houzhao was looking forward to it.

But he would definitely not get the command of the army if he hides his identity like this.

Even if you encounter Tartars, you can only fight in small troops.

There are not many people around me, so it is definitely okay to run, so I can't help but feel powerless when facing the battle.

Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao was a little indifferent.

I even want to go home.

"Forget it, go to Datong and go back."

Zhu Houzhao put away the map with some boredom.

Liu Jin, who was standing beside him, suddenly felt bad when he heard that he was going to Datong.

Yellow sand is flying everywhere outside the pass, which is really not a good place.

Moreover, when going from Xuanfu to Datong, Mongols would come in and threaten their safety at any time.

This is a fast pace, and I am full of eating yellow sand on the road.

Liu Jin said with a sad face: "My daughter is a daughter-in-law, these conditions are too difficult..."

Zhu Houzhao looked at him unhappily.

"If you don't want to go, I will allow you to go back to the capital by yourself."

"It's not your turn to be the leader for me!"

Although Liu Jin is loyal to protecting the Lord, he is really afraid of death.

I'm still very sensible in normal times.

But after coming out this time, I talked too much.

Moreover, Zhao Ce was with him, and Liu Jin kept persuading him.

When Liu Jin heard this, he quickly smiled and said, "I am also worried about my safety."

"But wherever I go, I will definitely follow you."

Zhu Houzhao didn't give him a good look: "Go down."

"You don't need to serve today."

Liu Jin didn't dare to say anything anymore, and lowered his head and stepped back.
