Seeing that Sun Rong was so anxious, the little maid did not dare to hide anything and said directly: "Madam, we don't know the specific whereabouts of the Protector. According to the guards, it seems that the Protector has gone to the Beishan area."
North Hill?
Sun Rong's mind was spinning rapidly and she said, "Help me prepare a carriage. I have something important to do to see the Protector!"
"yes!"
As soon as they heard that they were related to Su Chen, the two maids didn't dare to delay at all, and quickly went to arrange a carriage for Sun Rong and get some clothes to keep out the cold.
It is now the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the climate in the north is even colder.
Before setting off again, Su Chen specifically asked the two maids to take good care of Lotus Sun and not let her make any mistakes.
Therefore, the service of the two little maids cannot be said to be careless.
In addition to dressing Sun Rong in the warmest mink fur and brocade clothes, even a heater and warm blankets were placed in the carriage.
After everything was arranged, the two maids carefully helped Sun Rong get into the carriage.
Although Sun Rong had some foundation in martial arts, her body was still a little overwhelmed after last night's rain and clouds.
"Okay, let's go."
After getting on the carriage, the maid gave instructions to the carriage driver.
"drive!"
The driver pulled the reins, and the carriage moved slowly.
Along the way, Rong Sun looked distracted, and the two maids did not say a word, but just stayed with Rong Sun quietly.
Mom and Dad, everything will be fine...
After a while of calming down, Lotus Sun was no longer as panicked as she was at the beginning.
The reason why she was like this was entirely because she was frightened by some of Su Chen's words last night.
She clearly remembered that Su Chen said that this time all the remnants of the aristocratic families in Haizhou must be killed. If anyone dares to resist, they will be killed without mercy!
And now, nearly ten hours have passed since Su Chen issued the order last night, and the distance from here to the Haizhou Family headquarters is only one day at most.
In other words, after some time, Su Chen's guards will clash with the remaining aristocratic families in Haizhou...
Sun Rong was very clear about the strength of Su Chen's guards. They were all top-notch masters, and after being equipped with the latest armor developed by Su Chen, their combat effectiveness was even more astonishing.
The armed forces now owned by those aristocratic families are no different from chickens and dogs in front of these elite guards!
And several of his closest family members are now hiding with those aristocratic families in Haizhou. No one knows what kind of conflicts will occur by then. The safety of his parents and younger sister is not completely sure...
For a moment, Lotus Sun was in a trance, her beautiful eyes filled with worry.
"Hey, it seems like it's snowing."
Suddenly, the maid's exclamation came to Lotus Sun's ears, which pulled her back from her thoughts.
Snow?
Rong Sun opened the curtains of the carriage and saw white snowflakes falling.
"Snowing……"
…
At the same time, Chang'an City.
"Mom, look, it's snowing!"
On the street, a little girl said to her mother in surprise.
"Yes, it snowed so early this year?"
…
Yes, it's snowing.
Datang suddenly ushered in the first snow of the year, and everyone looked at the sky in surprise.
It started to snow not only in Guanzhou, but also in the entire Tang Dynasty.
According to the rules of previous years, it should not snow so early in Datang this year.
However, the reality is that snow has really started to fall all over the Tang Dynasty.
"Great! It's snowing! Is this the sign of auspicious snow that heralds a good harvest?"
For a time, the people in the Tang Dynasty were in high spirits and their faces were full of smiles.
Not only elsewhere, but also the people in Guanzhou showed smiles that they had not seen for a long time.
In the past two years, people's lives can be said to be prosperous and getting better day by day.
Originally, this year was supposed to be a rare bumper harvest year, but who could have expected that at the end of the year, such a huge locust plague would occur, catching everyone by surprise.
Although the locust plague has been effectively controlled under Su Chen's governance, the price is too high.
In the past six or seven years, more than 80% of the fields can no longer be cultivated!
Although Su Chen has promised them, even if the land is destroyed, they don't have to worry about their livelihood.
However, in this era where people are accustomed to working at sunrise and resting at sundown, it is still difficult for them to adapt to a sudden large-scale change in work habits.
At present, the arrival of this snow can be said to have brought a bit of comfort to the people's long-suppressed mood.
"This is God's blessing for me, the Tang Dynasty! With this snow, these damn locusts can finally stop for a while!"
…
"Snowing?"
In the dense forest, Su Chen suddenly stopped and reached out to catch a snowflake falling from the sky.
Su Chen was very surprised by this.
Based on his understanding of the climate during this period in the Tang Dynasty, even in an environment like the north, it would take more than a month for snow to fall this year.
But now it is only the end of the twelfth lunar month, but snowflakes are falling early.
"Could it be that God is helping me?"
Looking up at the sky, Su Chen couldn't help but smile knowingly.
This snow came just in time.
Although the arrival of snow will bring him some troubles in building an iron smelting workshop and mining mineral deposits, overall, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages!
Although desert locusts are tenacious and can withstand the scorching heat, they can no longer jump in the face of low temperatures.
Now, as long as this snow lasts for two or three days, the behavior of the desert locusts will be greatly restricted.
By then, the locust plague can be controlled even without the use of pesticide spraying!
Therefore, in addition to the destroyed fields in Guanzhou, the remaining fields in the north have been saved, and the people's livelihood next year will no longer be so tight.
"With the imperial court's current grain storage and grain production, it will be more than enough to supply Guanzhou next year!"
These days, Su Chen has been busy working on the lives of the people of Guanzhou next year.
But now it seems that he can finally relax.
The law!
And just when Su Chen was thinking to himself, there was a somewhat noisy sound of horse hooves.
"Be careful, it might be an assassin!"
In an instant, the guards immediately became alert and surrounded Su Chen.
However, when the guards saw that it was one of their own who had arrived, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Um?
Didn’t I ask you to stay at home?
But what happened?"
Su Chen was surprised when he saw that the person coming was the guard he had arranged at Guanzhou's residence.
