Chapter 220: Reunion
"Tick ......"
With Jiang Beiran's answer, the middle hall was unusually quiet except for the leaky pot that kept the time.
Tao Yangbo's face was a little ugly, after knowing the ins and outs of the matter from his son, he thought that he was polite enough, but the new emperor seemed to be determined to eat him today, and he was going to cut him.
In a flash of thought, Tao Yangbo glanced at the arrogant woman standing with a sword behind Jiang Beiran with his spare eyes.
'Huh!? ’
Tao Yangbo's eyes widened! When he entered the hall just now, his attention was all focused on Jiang Beiran, so he didn't pay attention to the woman behind him, but when he looked at it at this time, he realized that she was not the daughter of Yin Jianghong who was in the limelight at the Yingjie meeting of the Moon Occultation Sect back then!
As one of the stewards of the Thundering Sect that time, Tao Yangbo also went to participate in the Yingjie meeting, and a figure like Mu Yao who was in the limelight, he naturally remembered it in his heart.
'That devil actually sent his daughter to the emperor as a guard!? ’
Tao Yangbo's face suddenly became heavier, just now he was thinking that if this little emperor toasted and didn't eat and drink, then he wouldn't be soft, and he had to let this little emperor know that he was not the master of the Tao family.
But now that he knew that Yin Jianghong valued this little emperor so much, he was a little weak-hearted, and in the current situation in Fengzhou, he really didn't believe that Lei Mingzong would collide with Yin Jianghong head-on for him.
And he had heard the news before that this little emperor was personally selected by Sect Master Guan.
In other words, the depth of the background of the little emperor in front of him is likely to be greater than he imagined.
In the end, Tao Yangbo still relented, he was just a small family under the Thunder Ming Sect to collect resources, and he had a hard time with an emperor who might have the support of black and white forces?
He really doesn't have that qualification.
After analyzing all the pros and cons, Tao Yangbo said with a smile: "Of course, of course, since the emperor has opened Chrysostom, the old man should do it." ”
After speaking, he looked at Tao Yingfa and said, "Yingfa, go, bring all the villagers of Xinhe Village in the mine to the house." ”
Although he didn't understand why his father agreed to this matter so easily, Tao Yingfa immediately gave up his hand and said, "Yes, my son will go." ”
About two hours later, more than eighty men of different ages were brought back by Tao Yingfa, and these people all changed into new clothes, and although their faces were injured, they were all clean.
Obviously, Tao Yingfa understood that since his father had already given the emperor this face, he would simply give it to the end, and the province would be taken advantage of by the new emperor to get mad.
"Your Majesty, all the villagers of Xinhe Village you want are here." Tao Yingfa looked at Jiang Beiran and said.
Glancing at the ghost of the farmer who went straight to the crowd, Jiang Beiran asked, "What, are all the people in your village here?" ”
"It's all here! It's all here! Those who didn't come died in the mines, and those who were alive brought miles. ”
As he spoke, the farmer slowly stopped in front of a young man with a thin yellow face.
"baby! Attaboy! Daddy knows you can hold it! We've met a good emperor, and we're going home! I'm going home! Remember to take good care of your mother when you go back! I'm gone, you have to remember to help with the farm work in the field! Know no! ”
Looking at his unresponsive son, the farmer wiped a handful of tears, turned around and rushed back to Jiang Beiran, knelt down and kowtowed dozens of times.
"The emperor's great kindness! I can't forget even if I drink Meng Po soup! I will definitely be a cow and a horse for you in the next life! To repay your kindness! ”
Hearing that the farmer had also confirmed that the villagers of Xinhe Village were already here, Jiang Beiran turned his head and said to Tao Yangbo: "Consul Tao, I hope that such a misunderstanding will not happen again in the future." ”
"Haha, of course not, of course not." Tao Yangbo said with a smile.
"That's for the best."
After speaking, Jiang Beiran looked at the villagers and said, "You are free, come out with me, and I will take you home." ”
The villagers of Xinhe Village are actually still in a very dazed state, and just now, the big villain who has been high on weekdays suddenly ordered to untie their anklets and give them hot white steamed buns to eat.
Even after eating steamed buns, they were given a bath to wash the wounds on their bodies.
Many villagers can't help but wonder if this is the last meal when they take a bath.
They were terrified, but they did not dare to make any resistance, because they resisted, but the end was terrible.
So, with great trepidation, they followed the wicked into the city, ready to accept their fate.
But just when they thought they were going to suffer something greater, a person who called himself "I" told them......
"You're free, you can go home."
They couldn't believe it was true, so they stood still in place, not daring to take a single step.
Kong Ergou in the crowd was the same, he couldn't believe the facts in front of him at all, he only felt that there must be something more terrible waiting for them.
However, just as he was looking around with wide eyes, he suddenly felt a burst of force on his buttocks, and the whole person staggered out of the crowd and knelt in front of Jiang Beiran.
Kong Ergou, who instinctively protected his head, immediately curled up in a ball, trembling and said, "Don't beat me, I'll go with you, I'll go with you." ”
Helping Kong Ergou up from the ground, Jiang Beiran patted the gray on his body and said, "Go, go out with me." ”
After speaking, he grabbed Kong Ergou and went out of the Tao Mansion together.
Seeing this, the remaining men immediately spread their feet and chased after them after finding that the people in the yard had indeed not stopped Ergou.
When Jiang Beiran took all the villagers away from Tao Mansion, Tao Fengxue stepped forward and arched his hand towards Tao Yangbo and said, "Father, do you really let them leave like this?" Once like this, if there is a next time, this emperor ......"
"Needless to say." Tao Yangbo waved his hand, "This little emperor is on the rise, we don't need to be this bird, I will inform Sect Master Tang of this matter later, and let him decide when the time comes." ”
Tao Fengxue felt a lot of reason after hearing this, this kind of troublesome character with black and white leaders, it is normal for their Tao family to not be able to deal with it, and it is not more convenient to throw this big trouble to the Lei Ming Sect than to deal with it themselves?
"Father is wise!" Tao Fengxue said in admiration.
Outside the city, Jiang Beiran had already brought a group of villagers out, and then Mu Yao stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, then Tao Yangbo agreed to our request so easily, then wouldn't it be easy for us to liberate the persecuted people in other places?" ”
Glancing at her, Jiang Beiran replied: "That Tao Yangbo just doesn't want to get into this trouble, as soon as we leave, he will inevitably go to the Thundering Sect to tell him about it, once or twice, the Thundering Sect may still be able to turn a blind eye, but there are many times, and the clay man still has three points of fire, not to mention the sect master." ”
"That'...... What do we do next? ”
Jiang Beiran smiled slightly, did not answer, and continued to walk towards Xinhe Village with the villagers.
Looking at Jiang Beiran's back, Mu Yao inexplicably felt a sense of peace of mind, and there was a feeling in her heart that as long as she believed in the man in front of her, everything would get better.
Along the way, the villagers didn't dare to speak, until they really saw the village, and Kong Ergou, who was following Jiang Beiran, had the courage to ask, "Are you...... Did you really bring us back? ”
"Aren't you already home?" Jiang Beiran said with a smile.
At this moment, all the villagers who had been looking like ashes instantly regained their vitality, no matter what happened next, at least they still had a chance to see their families.
So they knelt down in unison and said, "Thank you, Lord Qingtian!" Thank you, Lord Qingtian!! ”
"Don't kneel, go back quickly, everyone in your family is waiting for you."
"Hey! Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! ”
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" After three knocks, the villagers stood up and ran in the direction of the village at a speed of 100 meters, as if they had completely forgotten the pain on their bodies.
In Xinhe Village, a group of women are lighting the firewood they have gathered, and they are bowing three times to a sack next to the fire with their hands folded.
"May the emperor live a long and healthy life, and be as blessed as the East China Sea."
After praying, a woman was about to take out the food from the sack when she heard a familiar voice coming from far away.
"Rongfang !!"
The woman's hand paused, looked at the other women, and asked, "Did you hear anything?" ”
A few women were just about to reply, "I didn't listen," when they heard a jumble of shouts rushing into their ears.
"Zhaodi !!"
"Red Plum !!"
"Emerald !!"
As the shouts grew clearer, the women stood up in unison and looked at each other in disbelief.
"It seems to be my man?" Cuihua said in great surprise.
"It's me! This voice is my man! You can't go wrong! Dagang !! ”
"!! in Red"
Suddenly, all the women shouted and went out of the village, tears of excitement streaming down their faces.
As the shouts got closer and closer, the two groups of people running towards each other finally saw each other clearly.
"Iron Pillar !!" Cuihua recognized her man for the first time, cried and threw herself into his arms, and hugged him tightly with both hands, as if she would disappear if she let go of him.
Then more people found their other half and hugged each other excitedly.
Jiang Beiran, who walked slowly behind the villagers, looked at this scene with emotion, "People in troubled times are not as good as Taiping dogs, in this era of extremely strict classes, the people have no life at all. ’
When the joy of reunion after a long absence slowly faded, the sharp-eyed Hongmei pointed to Jiang Beiran not far away and shouted: "Your Majesty! It was the emperor who rescued us men! ”
Following the direction that Hongmei was pointing, others also looked towards Jiang Beiran.
The women knelt down to thank them, while the men looked confused.
'Your Majesty!? That big man is the emperor!? ’
Many of them have seen the biggest official in their lives is the village chief, where do they know what the emperor looks like, and now they know that it was the emperor who saved them, all of them are unbelievable, after all, they have always felt that the emperor is far away in the sky, how could they come here to rescue them.
The mother-in-law, who knew them, pulled them vigorously and said, "Kneel down and thank the emperor." ”
The men knelt down in unison and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving your life! ”
"No need to thank me, let's go home."
But the villagers still knelt there and kowtowed, especially Kong Ergou, he always felt that something was pressing his head hard and knocking on the ground, and it could be said that every blow was loud.
"Your Majesty...... I...... My man hasn't come back yet, is it in the back? ”
At this time, a woman knelt all the way in front of Jiang Beiran and asked.
"The men in the village are here, and they haven't come back...... It's just gone. ”
The woman was stunned for a moment, and then cried loudly: "Da Mao!! Why are you so miserable!! Big hair!! ”
When the woman cried loudly, the farmer ghost shouted and walked over slowly, stretched out his hand and rubbed the woman's head and said: "Alas, mother-in-law, I'm sorry, I didn't hold on, I didn't come back alive to hug you, in the future, you and Ergou will be good, let him quickly find a daughter-in-law, give birth to a big fat boy, continue the incense of our Kong family, and I will be your man in the next life." ”
After speaking, he turned around and kowtowed to Jiang Beiran and said, "Your Majesty, can I ask you to do me another favor." ”
"Say it." Jiang Beiran nodded.
"You help me tell my mother-in-law, I promised her that the red rouge has been bought, and it is hidden behind the bedside table, and I was arrested before I could tell her."
"Okay."
After agreeing, Jiang Beiran walked up to the woman and relayed her man's words to her.
After hearing this, the woman first looked at Jiang Beiran with a surprised face, and when she saw Jiang Beiran make a silent gesture, she slammed her head on the ground and cried loudly again.
Seeing that his wish had been fulfilled, Kong Damao looked at Jiang Beiran and said: "Your Majesty, I must have done a few good things in my life to meet a good person like you, and I will definitely come to you as a cow and a horse in my next life!" Wait! I'm sure to come! ”
Jiang Beiran nodded with a smile after hearing this: "Okay, I'll wait for you to come." ”
Finally, with a simple smile, Kong Damao's figure slowly disappeared into the night.
Jiang Beiran didn't expect that he would "surpass" him, and suddenly felt that there was still such a thing as becoming a Buddha in this world?
After telling the villagers that there would be no more wicked people attacking their village, Jiang Beiran flew back to the palace with Mu Yao and them.
"It's late, let's all go back and rest."
"Yes." Deng Xianghan and Kong Qianqian saluted and walked towards the outside of the meditation hall, while Mu Yao stood still and did not move.
"Anything else?" Jiang Beiran looked at her and asked.
Looking at Jiang Beiran's face, Mu Yao suddenly felt a little heartbeat, and an indescribable feeling came to her heart.
"You...... You...... Me, me. After stammering for a long time, Mu Yao pinched her thigh before she finally calmed down and said, "I want to say that you are really a good emperor, hey!" Don't get me wrong! I'll just talk about the identity of the emperor, not you! ”
Jiang Beiran chuckled lightly and nodded: "Oh, thank you for the compliment, is there anything else?" ”
"If there's anything else I can help, you're welcome, I'll do my best to help you, no, no, not to help you! I will also help if someone else becomes the emperor! ”
"Okay, I know, go back and rest." After saying that, he turned around and walked to the dormitory.
Looking at the back of Jiang Beiran leaving, Mu Yao couldn't help but say in her heart.
'If Daddy is still around...... It would be good if the emperor was him. ’
