Tao Yao and Xi'er snuggled up to each other, worried and scared for half the night, and finally stayed up until dawn.

At dawn, the outside was quiet, and the fighting and shouting receded and became unusually quiet.

The two of them did not relax because of this, and always felt that it was really a little too quiet.

After glancing at each other, the two got up from their beds and quickly got dressed.

Just as he was about to go out to check on the situation, Tian Bo came and knocked on the door.

"Madam, the Khitan has withdrawn." Tian Bo's excited voice sounded outside.

Tao Yao and Xi'er were relieved and happy, and walked over quickly to open the door.

"Did the Khitan really retreat?" Tao Yao asked eagerly.

"It's true, Uze is back, he told me." Tian Bo smiled and nodded, very happy.

"Miss, it's really good, the Khitan has withdrawn." Xi'er held Tao Yao's hand tightly and breathed a sigh of relief.

Tao Yao was also very happy, and asked Tian Bodao: "What about the Wuze people?" ”

"Eat in the front yard, that kid is hungry." Tian Bo said with a smile.

Hearing this, Tao Yao hurriedly walked towards the front yard.

When she passed, Uze was eating.

But when he saw Tao Yao coming, he immediately got up, and there was still rice in his mouth that he hadn't had time to swallow, and his face and clothes were a little dirty, "Madam." ”

"You've worked hard, sit down." Tao Yao raised his hand and pressed it virtually.

Wu Ze was not polite, he sat down according to his words, and said vaguely: "Madame, wait a while, my subordinates will report the news of the Duke of Nations to you after eating this mouthful." ”

When Tao Yao heard this, he put his mind at ease, so it seems that Lu Jiuyuan should be fine.

Wu Ze clicked two or three times, and then finished the rice in the bowl, "Madam, don't worry, everything is fine with Guogong, but there are still some things in the army that need to be arranged, and Guogong will not come back until later."

Afraid that his wife would be worried, Guogong specially asked his subordinates to come back and report to you first. ”

Tao Yao nodded, this time he was completely relieved, but he was still curious: "What happened last night?" Why did the Khitan army suddenly attack the city? ”

Speaking of this matter, Wu Ze was particularly indignant, "The Khitan people are cunning, they know that the Guogong led troops to guard here, and it is not so easy to invade Dayan, so they used a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and wanted to transfer the Guogong and the main army away, but fortunately they were recognized by the Guogong and planned it."

So when the main Khitan army came to attack the city, I didn't expect that we would kill them and catch them off guard.

Last night, the Khitan army suffered numerous casualties, the Khitan general Aku hurriedly withdrew, and Guogong deliberately sent a team of soldiers and horses to pursue them. ”

Although Tao Yao didn't see it with his own eyes, he could imagine the scene.

Last night there must have been a fierce fight outside the city gates, and the blood flowed like a river, and it was terrible to see.

But fortunately, in the end, the Khitans did not come in, otherwise the people in the city would have suffered.

After calming down, Tao Yao asked, "Wu Ze, are you sure that Guogong will come back at noon?" ”

"I guess so." Uze wasn't quite sure either.

Tao Yao didn't care, she had to make a table of dishes to treat Lu Jiuyuan.

Even if he can't come back at noon, she can send it to him.

Thinking of this, she called Uncle Ueda and Xi'er to go to the market to buy vegetables.

Because of the Khitan people's trouble last night, the market opened late this morning, and when Tao Yao and others arrived, everyone came out of the stall.

After walking around, Tao Yao asked for two chickens, five catties of mutton, a pig's foot, and three fish.

When she was about to pay the money, the peddler suddenly asked, "Where is the girl?" ”

Without waiting for Tao Yao to speak, Xi'er had already said proudly, "We are from the General's Mansion." ”

"Ah, it's from the General's Mansion? We cannot take the money. The peddler excused himself.

Tao Yao looked puzzled, "Why?" ”

The peddler smiled: "The Khitans were all killed last night, if it weren't for Lu Guogong and the soldiers, where would we be able to do business now?"

Since you are from the general's house, all the food you buy from me is free. ”

Without waiting for Tao Yao to react, the other hawkers next to him who heard what the hawker said also echoed, "Yes, thanks to Lu Guogong, we can do well, since we are from the General's Mansion, we don't need silver for these dishes, the girl will take the dishes away directly." ”

"We don't want any more money."

Tao Yao was very moved when he heard this, but shook his head firmly, "We understand your kindness, but Lu Guogong and all the soldiers, it is their duty to protect the family and the country, and they are also very happy to protect everyone.

Otherwise, if the prince finds out, he will blame us. ”

"How can this work? Lu Guogong and the soldiers did their best to protect us, just a little food, how can we collect the money? That's so unconscionable. The vendors shook their heads and refused to take it.

"The girl is so good-looking, you, you shouldn't be Lu Guogong's wife, right?" At this time, a lady asked curiously.

Hearing this, the others also reacted, looked at Tao Yao eagerly, and discussed it enthusiastically, "Some time ago, I heard that Lu Guogong's wife came to the frontier to visit him, this girl was born so beautiful and extravagant, it must be Lu Guogong's wife." ”

Tao Yao was stunned for a moment, and when he didn't know whether to deny or admit it, Tian Bo walked over.

Those people immediately recognized Tian Bo and asked excitedly, "Tian Bo, this girl is Lu Guogong's wife?" ”

Tian Bo looked at Tao Yao, who was embarrassed, and said with a smile: "It is our Duchess of the country." ”

At this moment, all the hawkers were in an uproar, "It's really the Duchess of Lu Guo, this is too beautiful, like a fairy." ”

Hearing the movement, the people who came here to buy vegetables also looked at Tao Yao.

What's more, someone actually knelt down and kowtowed to Tao Yao on the spot, "Thanks to Lu Guogong this time, we can't see Lu Guogong, we can't express our gratitude to him, and it's the same to see his wife today, and ask my wife to accept our worship on behalf of Guogong." ”

Tao Yao was startled and hurriedly stopped, "Don't be like this, everyone, get up quickly!" ”

But where did they listen to her, some people took the lead in kneeling, and immediately more people also knelt and kowtowed.

Tao Yao had never encountered such a battle, and he was so frightened that he was at a loss.

"Don't be like this, scare our lady." Tian Bo obviously didn't expect the big guys to be so enthusiastic, so he could only shout at them to get up.

In the end, everyone got up, but they kept stuffing vegetables into Tao Yao's vegetable basket, and the master and servant couldn't stop it.

It wasn't until the vegetable basket brought by a few people couldn't fit it anymore that everyone gave up.

Looking at the several vegetable baskets that were full, Tao Yao and the three of them had a headache.

How do you bring this back?
