Chapter 185: Helping Children Find Their Parents

Fei Ju was extremely depressed, he grabbed the task of escorting the escort just to get closer to Yang Yunhua, but Yang Yunhua hid in the carriage all day long and played leaf cards, he couldn't get in to talk to Yang Yunhua, so he had to report the road conditions next to the carriage every once in a while, hoping to attract Yang Yunhua's attention.

It's a pity that Yang Yunhua won the right and was happy, and she didn't dump this kid, but made the big loser Ma Xiuying impatient, and told him not to appear again if there was no big thing.

Fei Ju, who wanted to cry without tears, was quiet for a few days, and finally found another opportunity to appear next to the carriage again, "Madam, Hezhou is almost here." ”

"Ah!" the women put down the leaf cards and excitedly lifted the curtains. No matter how fun things are, they will get bored after playing for a long time, and they don't care if they win or lose when they play leaf cards, they just get used to passing the time with something in their hands.

At this time, it was almost evening, and the towering city wall of Hezhou loomed in the distance, Guo Ninglian excitedly urged: "Hurry up, go quickly, you will see the master soon!"

Ma Xiuying rubbed her shoulders and was about to make a joke, when she suddenly faintly heard crying on the side of the road, and immediately asked Fei Ju to find out the situation.

After a while, Fei Ju brought a child over and said, "Madam, it's a baby crying." ”

It was a boy of about ten years old, dressed in tatters, with a few flower marks on his dark and thin little face, his hair unkempt on his face, and a pair of black eyes that turned around in horror.

Ma Xiuying took out a peach and handed it to him, and kindly asked him his name and the reason for crying alone in the wild.

The child was hungry and panicked, and he took the peach and gnawed it regardless of the hair on it, and almost choked several times, he even swallowed the peach pit before answering that his name was Tiedan, and he was waiting for his father and mother here.

Ma Xiuying asked strangely: "What does your father and mother do? Why don't you go into the city to find it?" If the Yuan army was stationed in Hezhou before, the common people might not be able to enter the city casually, but now that Hezhou is under the command of Zhu Yuanzhang, Ma Xiuying knows that Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely treat these people well and will not make an order to prohibit the people from entering and leaving.

"My father is ...... in the barracks" Tie Dan secretly looked at Ma Xiuying, and saw that she looked sincere and dressed extraordinarily, maybe she was a noble person who was willing to help him sincerely, so he swallowed and said: "My mother is also in the barracks, and my father does not allow me to go to the barracks to find them." ”

Ma Xiuying didn't understand what she heard, so she had to ask Fei Ju, "Did the master order that no one should be allowed to visit his relatives in the barracks?"

Fei Ju scratched his scalp, "No." ”

Ma Xiuying smiled and said to Tiedan: "Child, come with us, I will take you to the barracks to meet your parents." The current military camp is the military camp of our Han people, and it will not be as harsh and harsh as when the Yuan people ruled. ”

"Really?" Tie Dan showed surprise on his face, he hadn't seen his parents for many days, the lady in front of him was amiable, she would definitely not lie to him, besides, he was a poor boy, what could these rich people deceive him.

"Really! Get in the car. Yang Yunhua jumped out of the carriage and made room for Tie Dan. The more she understood their experiences, the more sympathetic she was to their plight, and over time, she had already changed from impatience to extreme love, and when she saw this child, she couldn't help but want to take care of him.

"No, no, I just walk. Tie Dan looked at the carriage stiffly, then at the dirt on his body, and finally straightened his chest and clenched his fists, "Don't worry, I can keep up with the carriage." ”

Ma Xiuying was not reluctant, after all, there were Guo Ninglian and Li Qi'er in the carriage, she turned her head and ordered Fei Ju, "Take us to the barracks first." ”

Fei Juwei was puzzled: "Madame, don't you go back to the house first? I have already asked the soldiers to go and inform you, maybe the adults are already waiting for you in the house." ”

As soon as they heard this, everyone looked at each other, and Guo Ninglian and Li Qi'er stopped talking. The daughters and Zhu Yuanzhang have been separated for more than a month, and they all have a feeling that Xiao Biesheng is newly married, and they can't wait to see Zhu Yuanzhang for the first time. But the boy looked so pitiful, no matter how unbearable he was.

"Madam, you go back to the house first, and I will take him to the barracks. Yang Yunhua didn't dislike Tie Dan's dirty hands, and directly held his little hand.

Tie Dan heard that the identities of several people were not simple, and he suddenly didn't dare to gasp, and he was very restrained.

"Don't worry, the master is definitely not in the mansion now. Ma Xiuying smiled, "He, he just took over Hezhou, he must be very busy, how can he have time to stay at home obediently, maybe we can meet him when we go to the barracks." If you are tired, you and your sister-in-law will go back to the house first, and if you are not tired, you might as well pick up the master and go back to the house together. ”

Guo Ninglian and Li Qi'er suddenly realized, yes, once Zhu Yuanzhang is busy, he is often busy in the dark, in the end, it is Ma Xiuying who understands Zhu Yuanzhang, and now they no longer hesitate, and unanimously asked to go to the barracks.

Ma Xiuying asked Fei Ju and Yang Yunhua to escort the other family members back to their homes first, and then asked the coachman to drive the carriage to continue to the barracks.

Fei Ju was overjoyed that he finally had the opportunity to live alone with Yang Yunhua.

Yang Yunhua glanced at Ma Xiuying resentfully, very dissatisfied with her decision, and people also wanted to go to the barracks to take a look.

The barracks were stationed in the outer city, perhaps because they had just been recaptured from the Yuan army and were being reorganized, and the fences around the barracks were uneven, and even the pillars on the gate were missing. But the guards standing tall in front of the camp and the stern-looking patrolling soldiers were telling everyone that this place was heavily guarded and should not be underestimated.

The carriage stopped outside the camp, Ma Xiuying sent someone to explain the situation to the guards, and after asking, Zhu Yuanzhang was really still in the camp tent to discuss with the generals. When he heard that the family of the chief soldier had arrived, a clever soldier immediately went in to pay his respects.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked out with Xu Da and a few people, saw a group of wives and concubines, and asked in surprise: "Madam, why don't you go back to the house to rest?

"I met a child on the road and said that his father and mother were in the barracks, so I took him over first. What's more, Lian'er, they miss you too. Did you disturb your discussions?" Ma Xiuying smiled slightly, embarrassed to say that she also missed Zhu Yuanzhang.

"No, no, we just got ready to leave. Xu Da and the others hurriedly shook their heads, even if they didn't have any eyes, they wouldn't be boring at this time.

"Oh, what's your father's name?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked the name of Tiedan's father and told the soldiers to go to the barracks to find it. If it was usual, how could he let him deal with such a trivial matter personally, but he would see his three wives now, and he was in a happy mood, and he actually had the heart of becoming a beautiful person, and he wanted to see Tiedan's family reunion when his family was reunited.

Tie Dan knew that the nobleman who helped him turned out to be the family member of General Zhu of Hezhou, and he couldn't keep his mouth shut in surprise.

"If you're tired, let's go to my tent first. Zhu Yuanzhang took the three female dependents and Tie Dan to the camp tent, and Xu Da and the others took the opportunity to say goodbye and leave.

After waiting for a while, Tiedan's parents were brought by the soldiers, the two of them were covered with sweat, looked panicked, and immediately knelt down as soon as they entered the camp tent, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, "Lord Commander, the villain knows that he is wrong, spare the villain once." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang asked inexplicably, "What mistakes did you make?"

The two continued to kowtow like pounding garlic, and the red marks on their foreheads were about to bleed, "The villain should not hide the truth, and he should not deceive the adult." ”

"What truth? Speak clearly!" Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more impatient the more he listened, revealing his anger.

Zhu Yuanzhang's anger exploded in his ears like thunder, and the faces of the two became more and more pale, and it took a long time for Tiedan's father to stammered and told him what he was hiding.

It turned out that when Zhu Yuanzhang's troops recovered Hezhou, some generals took the women captive and took them to the barracks. Tiedan's mother was taken captive into the barracks on the day of the city's break, and Tiedan's father took advantage of the recruitment of soldiers to sneak into the barracks in order to find his wife, raising horses while looking for his wife. When he finally found his wife, he didn't dare to recognize him, so he had to be called brother and sister, and now he was suddenly taken to the camp by the soldiers, and the two were only discovered by hiding the relationship between husband and wife. The crime of deception may be beheaded, and the couple have long been frightened, and they dare to look around when they enter the camp, but they just keep begging for mercy.

"Dad, mother......" Tie Dan couldn't help crying, never imagined that he would come to see his father and mother to bring them such a big disaster. He didn't dare to beg the chief soldier who was wearing armor and full of anger, so he knelt in front of Ma Xiuying with a puff, "Madam, please spare my father, I will never come to the barracks to see them again......"

"Tie Dan!" The couple found out that their son was also in the tent, their faces changed drastically, they got up and rushed to Tie Dan, hugged him tightly and wept bitterly, crying and shouting: "My lord, please spare this child, our husband and wife are willing to confess." ”

"What howl? It's to make your family recognize each other, and make it look like you're dead. Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, and the joy of meeting relatives was made into a miasma by this family.

Ma Xiuying hurriedly persuaded: "Don't cry, if you cry again, you will really be punished." ”

"Adults won't kill us?" the couple looked up in disbelief.

Zhu Yuanzhang was like chasing flies, "Get out, get out." ”

Ma Xiuying took the opportunity to ask him to let Tiedan's family leave, so that the family could truly reunite.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, it was his generals who made a mistake, so he immediately assigned a personal soldier to deal with this matter.

With Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions, the people below naturally took special affairs, and soon the couple took their luggage out of the barracks, and the two of them were like dreaming, until the iron egg called repeatedly, and they woke up, making sure that they were not only not dead but also free, and the overjoyed family immediately hugged their heads and cried, and read Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying 10,000 times in their hearts.

In the camp tent, Li Qi'er had already obediently poured Zhu Yuanzhang a cup of hot tea, while Guo Ninglian was touching Zhu Yuanzhang's armor, and kept shouting, "Master is so majestic!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed amusedly, took off his armor and changed into civilian clothes, and said, "Madam, after such a long delay, everyone must be hungry, we will go back to the house after eating out today." ”

"Wait, sir, I have something to talk to you about. Ma Xiuying stopped everyone, and didn't look at the corners of Guo Ninglian's collapsed mouth and Zhu Yuanzhang's frowning brows, and said solemnly: "In the past, my father-in-law's troops had problems with military discipline, so the rule was not strict, and the military camp was chaotic, and now it seems that your troops also have problems." These soldiers breached the city and disturbed the people, collected money, and plundered women...... Where are they soldiers? They're like bandits. You drove out the Yuan people just to let the people live a good life, but in doing so, they have deepened the disaster of the people, you must restrain your subordinates, stop these bad acts as soon as possible, and strictly enforce military discipline, so that you can live up to the expectations of the people!

Madame is right. Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a long time, and instructed the soldiers to inform the secretary Li Shanchang, asking him to gather the generals, affirm discipline, and order the return of the married women in the army, so that many separated couples in the city could be reunited.

Xu Da listened to this order and said to Tang He with a smile: "As soon as Mrs. Ma arrives, the people of Hezhou will be blessed. ”

Tang He also smiled: "Mrs. Ma, this is making momentum for the big man." After the rectification of military discipline and the return of women, adults will become more and more popular with the people. ”

Xu Da was slightly stunned, I don't know when Tang He no longer calls Zhu Yuanzhang a big brother but an adult, should he change his words.
