Chapter 1533 Departure to East City

When Ye Zuozuo returned to the room, Li Hong had already returned. At this moment, he was lying on the bed with his shirt off and resting!

At this moment, after seeing her return, Li Hong immediately stood up and asked.

"Ye Zuozuo, where did you go just now!? Why did you take so long to come back!?"

Hearing Li Hong's words, Ye Zuozuo immediately laughed.

"I just went to the toilet, and after going to the toilet, I took a bath, so I came back so late."

"Take a bath!? Didn't you just say that if you don't take a bath, your body will smell masculine!?"

Li Hong spoke, with a bit of teasing in his tone.

Hearing this, Ye Zuozuo's face was embarrassed at first, and then grinned.

"Haha, although it's good to have a manly smell, I'm still worried that I'll suffocate you!? Otherwise, I won't be willing to wash off this manly smell!"

"Hahaha... Ye Zuo, you're so funny! But even if you stink, as a brother, I will never dislike you! I'm just worried that your future wife will dislike you, hahaha..."

After chatting and laughing with Li Hong, Ye Zuo was in a good mood.

Maybe because he was exhausted, he immediately fell asleep as soon as he lay on the bed.

...

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

After days of hard training, everyone had a tacit understanding.

So, today, under Huangpu Jue's reorganization, everyone started to set off and headed towards Dongcheng!

Dongcheng is far away from the capital, even if you ride a horse, it will take ten days.

Fortunately, this time, the people selected by Huangpu Jue personally have superb physical strength and are extraordinary guards.

So, everyone worked day and night, and after seven days, they finally arrived at the destination!

When riding on a tall horse, looking at everything in Dongcheng, Ye Zuozuo frowned.

Although she had heard that the bandits in Dongcheng were rampant, she didn't expect that they were so rampant!

Dongcheng is so large, although it is not as prosperous as the capital, the emperor's feet, but it is also a big city.

It stands to reason that such a big city must be bustling and thriving.

However, at this moment, looking around, I saw that the streets of Dongcheng were quiet.

Except for a few people walking out occasionally, it was like a dead city.

Quiet and desolate.

The faces of the common people here are all hesitant. They have to look back and look to the right every time they take a step, as if they are afraid that something terrible will happen.

Seeing the people here, their faces were hesitant, and people couldn't help but feel sad...

Looking around, the streets were deserted, so desolate, and full of mess, obviously it had experienced a looting before...

Seeing this, Ye Zuozuo frowned even more.

Li Hong, who was riding a horse beside her, looked at the situation around him, and his face was even more indignant.

"Dongcheng was originally a big city, very prosperous, but now it has become so destitute and chaotic. Those bandits are really hateful! They are simply not human!"

Ye Zuozuo naturally agreed with Li Hong's words, but she didn't say much.

Huang Pujue, who was in the lead, glanced around coldly, and then led them to the yamen.

When Ye Zuozuo and his group arrived at the so-called yamen, they were shocked again when they saw the scene at the gate of the yamen!

I saw that at the entrance of the huge yamen, the ground was in a mess, and the huge drum was also broken and fell to the ground.

Even the plaque of the yamen was broken and hung there precariously, swaying with the breeze...

If you don't know, you would think this is an unmanned charity cemetery!

Just as Ye Zuozuo thought so in his heart, he saw a guard following Huang Pujue, after looking at the surrounding environment, and then said to Huang Pujue respectfully.

"Your Majesty, I will go in and take a look."

"Yes."

Hearing the words of the visitor, Huang Pujue just nodded slightly, and then the guard quickly dismounted and walked into the yamen.

After a long time, several constables and a middle-aged man in official clothes rushed out of the yamen in a hurry.

When he saw Huang Pujue riding on a tall horse, the middle-aged man immediately fell to his knees.

"Dongcheng Prefect Dong Heng pays respect to the Second Prince, long live the Second Prince!"

As the middle-aged man said this, several constables knelt respectfully behind him.

Hearing Dong Heng's words, Huang Pujue frowned slightly, and then said in a deep voice.

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Second Prince!"

Hearing Huang Pujue's words, Dong Heng stood up respectfully from the ground.

However, his thin face was full of sorrow.

He looked very distressed.

No wonder!

After all, Dongcheng was so prosperous before, but now it has become so destitute. The rampant bandits are also his fault, and he cannot escape the blame!

Now, he even has to dispatch the Second Prince of Xiangling State. The matter is so serious that he, a small prefect, can't bear it! ?

But these were no longer what Ye Zuozuo should think about.

Now, she was just thinking about getting to Dongyue Mountain as soon as possible, charging into battle, and annihilating those heinous bandits one by one!

While Ye Zuozuo was thinking this in her heart, Huang Pujue had already followed Dong Heng into the meeting.

The others, led by Hongguang, walked towards the guest rooms.

These days, they basically rode on horses, traveling day and night, and even a strong body could not bear it.

So, after getting off the horse, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, and Ye Zuozuo was no exception!

Fortunately, although this place is not as good as the Second Prince's Mansion, there are many guest rooms. So now, she still lives with Li Hong.

What makes Ye Zuozuo happy most is that there is a bathtub in their room!

With this bathtub, she doesn't have to worry about the problem of taking a bath.

You know, she hasn't taken a good bath in recent days! She has been traveling day and night for a long time, and her body is already covered with dust, plus the sweat, sticky, and uncomfortable!

Now, Ye Zuozuo just wants to take a bath quickly and have a good rest.

While Li Hong was eating, Ye Zuozuo quickly fetched water, went into the room, filled the bathtub with water, and immediately closed the doors and windows tightly.

After a careful inspection, Ye Zuozuo took off her clothes and undressed after seeing that everything was safe.

When she soaked her whole body in the cold water, Ye Zuozuo felt as if she was reborn, so comfortable!

As soon as she opened her red lips, she couldn't help but sighed slightly.

She felt that for her now, nothing could make her feel more comfortable than taking a good bath!

Just when Ye Zuozuo felt comfortable, suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded from outside the door...

Hearing this, Ye Zuozuo was shocked!
