Patrol's sweetheart baby
Chapter 29 The Lover
He sat up abruptly, "Hold, hold, hold, hold..."
The flirtatious peach blossom eyes raised slightly, and he said lazily, "What? Young master Tang used my lord's legs as pillows for a whole night, and after waking up, I still want to ask my lord for a hug?"
Suo, what the hell is Suo hugging!
Tang Xiaotang blushed, and for a long time, he choked out a few words, "Just, just, no, no!"
"Murder! Officers and soldiers beat someone!"
"Dead man! Dead man! Officers and soldiers beat him to death!"
"Killed! Officers and soldiers killed!"
"Laiqing, my son, my son! Who will save my son! Who will save my son!"
The women's mournful wails, the officers and soldiers' clangs, and the people's shouts all rang out.
It was only at this time that Tang Xiaotang noticed that the movement in the hall seemed a little unusual.
"F, what happened, what, what happened?"
He turned his head in a daze and looked at Xie Jinbai, only to see that the latter had gotten up at some point.
"Stay here, don't run around."
Xie Jinbai explained to Tang Xiaotang, and then to the back of the pillar, Qingluan, who had already woken up but had never been born, ordered, "Look at your son."
Qingluan was taken aback.
She has not made a sound since she woke up. When did this guy find out that she was awake?
"Hey……"
Tang Xiaotang was just about to get up from the ground to catch up, but he tripped over something under his feet.
"My lord, my lord, are you okay!"
Qingluan turned around the stone pillar, and saw her young master fell to the ground, and hurried over to help him up.
"I'm fine..."
Tang Xiaotang shook his head and stood up anxiously.
Looking up, Xie Jinbai was nowhere to be seen.
Tang Xiaotang kicked something beside his feet angrily to see what tripped him up.
Looking down, it turned out to be a thin quilt.
Thin quilt?
Why is there a thin quilt on his body?
Tang Xiaotang suddenly remembered that when he sat up, something seemed to have slipped from him, but he was still sleepy at the time, so he didn't care.
He also remembered that when he woke up, he hadn't seen anything like a quilt or clothes on that person's body to keep out the cold.
Tang Xiaotang stared blankly at the thin quilt on the ground.
So, last night, that person gave him his book?
"Why did the quilt fall to the floor?"
Qingluan followed the line of sight of her young master and saw the thin quilt at Tang Xiaotang's feet, she quickly bent down to pick up the quilt on the ground, and patted the dust on it, "This thin quilt should belong to that Xun Xun, We have to keep it well and return it when the time comes..."
Tang Xiaotang interrupted Qingluan, and said to Qingluan, "Qingluan, put the quilt away for me, I'll go and see what happened ahead."
Qingluan dissuaded, "Young master, you forgot, just now Master Xie asked you not to run around?"
"Are you my maidservant or his maidservant? How can you listen to him? Besides, if he can see what happened, why can't I go? Good Qingluan, wait for me here, I'll be there soon Come back, ah."
"Master, son!"
Qingluan wanted to catch up, but she was holding a thin quilt in her hand, and she had to salute to watch, she really couldn't get out, so she could only stamp anxiously on the spot, worried that she couldn't do it.
"My son! My son! What's wrong with you, don't scare my mother! Son, tell me! Is there a doctor, is there a doctor?! Please, please, help me Son, save my son!"
"Murder pays for life! Folks, today we will fight these dog officials!"
"Fight! Fight with them!"
The crowd was furious, and the people clamored, rushing towards the officers and soldiers holding spears like a tide.
There are hundreds of people in the palace, but only a dozen officers and soldiers.
Even though every officer and soldier held a spear in his hand, facing hundreds of people, and because the superior had issued an order not to hurt innocent people with his hands, they could only retreat passively and in embarrassment.
Soon, someone broke through the defense built by the officers and soldiers with spears.
Naturally, the officers and soldiers could not wait to die, so they had to forcefully drive the people away.
"stop!"
Seeing that the common people were about to have physical conflicts with the officers and soldiers, the scene fell into chaos, and a deep and dignified voice sounded.
Xie Jinbai in a blue and white shirt stepped out from the crowd.
"Who is this person?"
"So young."
"Not only young, but also very handsome."
"Handsome, could it be that this is...that, that Xie Xunyan?"
In the crowd, someone recognized Xie Jinbai as Xie Xunyan from Yingyang. He pointed at Xie Jinbai and said loudly, "Folks! He is the official Xie Gou from Yingyang! It's him! I think we live a good life. , Tossing us since yesterday, until now, still unwilling to let us go down the mountain! Not only that, those soldiers also killed people, folks, today we want him to give us an explanation no matter what!"
"Wow! It turns out that you are that dog officer surnamed Xie, who caused us people to be so troubled! Today, people were killed! We must give us an explanation!"
The soldiers were also anxious when they heard this, and one of them hurriedly walked in front of Xie Jinbai, clasped his fists and reported, "Master Xie, don't listen to these scoundrels spouting blood! We will follow the orders of the magistrate and you, and we don't dare to hurt the people at will. Our people have never encountered that young Confucian scholar at all, and the young Confucian scholar lay on the ground by himself! Please learn from me!"
Behind him, the rest of the officers and soldiers bowed and clasped their fists to report, "Please learn from me, my lord!"
"Excuse me, give me a break, give me a break!"
Tang Xiaotang squeezed through the crowd with difficulty and accidentally stepped on an old woman's foot.
"Hold, I'm sorry. Auntie, you, are you okay? I, I am not so... Auntie?"
Tang Xiaotang hurriedly apologized, but the aunt who was stepped on by him didn't respond at all.
Tang Xiaotang raised her head in confusion, but saw the aunt with red eyes staring at something.
The eyes are quite piercing.
Tang Xiaotang followed the aunt's gaze and saw Xie Jinbai standing among the crowd like a cypress and a crane at a glance.
Tang Xiaotang turned his head again, looked at the aunt beside him, and said doubtfully, "Auntie, you know..."
You guys, you beat someone to death and still don’t admit it, and you still slander us to celebrate that you fainted yourself!My old lady fights with you!
Tang Xiaotang hadn't finished speaking, and saw that the aunt who was still motionless just now, who was like a stone statue, suddenly ran towards Xie Jinbai.
Tang Xiaotang had a bad instinct.
"careful!"
He yelled in Xie Jinbai's direction.
Without even thinking about it, he rushed forward, hugged Xie Jinbai's waist with both hands desperately, and blocked him with his body.
Tang Xiaotang buried her face in Xie Jinbai's arms, and closed her eyes tightly out of fear.
However, the expected pain never came.
"Let go of me, you dog officials, let me go, let me go!"
The old woman's hoarse, hateful voice rang in her ears.
Ok?
Tang Xiaotang hesitantly and slowly raised his head from Xie Jinbai's arms, looked for the voice, and turned his face——
But seeing that the old woman was taken down by two officers and soldiers for some reason, she couldn't move at all at the moment, only her eyes were as red as blood, staring at them with hatred.
Because the woman kept abusing her, the officers and soldiers simply took a veil and stuffed it into her mouth.
"What happened... Nizi, what are you doing?!"
Tang Shimao heard that there were troubles in the front hall again, and some officers and soldiers accidentally beat people to death, so he didn't care much and rushed to the main hall in a hurry.
Who knows, when he came in from the main hall, he happened to see Tang Xiaotang hugging Xie Jinbai, and immediately became furious.
Tang Shimao stepped forward quickly, and said sharply, "Nizi, don't let go, Mr. Xie! How decent is it in the public?"
Tang Xiaotang trembled when he heard his father's voice. He didn't know why his father came over, and when he heard his father scolding him indiscriminately, he felt more and more aggrieved.
After discovering that the old woman had been subdued by the officers and soldiers, he was about to let go. He was taken aback by his father, so...
Tang Xiaotang let go of Xie Jinbai, lowered his head, but didn't speak.
Anyway, no matter how he explained, Dad would not listen.
Tang Shimao glared at his son with hatred, and apologized to Xie Jinbai, "Sorry, Xie Xunyan, the dog is rude. Please forgive me!"
Xie Jinbai said calmly, "Prefect Tang misunderstood."
Tang Shimao's eyes showed confusion.
Misunderstand?
What do you mean?
Xie Jinbai changed the subject, "Since the prefect Tang is here, we might as well discuss together how to resolve the matter between this aunt and her son."
The old lady Tang Shimao had just arrived, so she didn't understand the situation in front of her very well.
After receiving the news in advance, the yamen servant who came earlier stepped forward, leaned into the magistrate's ear, and talked to Tang Shi Maobei in detail.
When Tang Shimao heard that someone was dead, his face turned livid.
Sternly glanced at the officers and soldiers in front of him, Tang Shimao cursed, "Bastard! Didn't my lord say that you are not allowed to do anything to the people? Where is the Confucian scholar who suddenly fell to the ground? Why don't you hurry up and take me to see it?" look?"
The most urgent task is to find out the cause of the Confucian scholar's death.
This is consistent with Xie Jinbai's original plan.
If the old lady hadn't rushed out suddenly, he would have asked to see the Confucian scholar first.
The yamen servants led the way, and the people in the hall dispersed to make way.
A group of people came to the place where the Confucian scholar was lying.
Tang Shimao squatted down and sniffed the Confucian scholar himself.
Although the detected breath was weak, it was true that the person under him was still angry. Tang Shimao immediately shouted excitedly, "There is still energy! There is still air! Any of you, go and pour a bowl of water! Quick! "
Immediately, some people handed over water.
Tang Shimao carefully lifted the Confucian scholar and tried to feed water into the Confucian scholar's mouth.
"Cough cough cough..."
The Confucian scholar coughed weakly for a few times, and then weakly opened his eyes.
"Alive! Alive!" "Really alive!"
"No! No! No!"
The old woman saw her son coughing and opened his eyes with tears streaming from his eyes.
Poor mouth was stuffed with a veil, so he couldn't say anything.
"Let her go."
Xie Jinbai gave instructions to the two officers and soldiers who were escorting the woman.
The two officers and soldiers also let him go.
"Qing'er, Qing'er...mother's Qing'er."
The old woman rushed to the Confucian scholar, hugged her son who had been resurrected from the dead, and cried loudly.
It turned out that the hall was stuffy and hot. The Confucian scholar turned on the lamp last night and read the book all night. He was tired, and he didn't sleep all night. He was short of energy and blood. He couldn't breathe quickly, so he suddenly fainted on the ground.
The old woman was probably too flustered when the incident happened, she didn't check her son's breath carefully, and mistakenly thought that her son was dead, so there was a misunderstanding that the officers and soldiers beat him to death by mistake.
No matter what, it's good that no one is killed.
Just as Tang Shimao was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the officers and soldiers outside came to report in a panic, "My lord, it's not good! People from a nearby temple rushed out of the mountain temple and clashed with the officers and soldiers stationed on the mountain road. They must go down the mountain!"
Tang Shimao was taken aback, "What? Didn't all the major exits of the temple be guarded in turn? How did the people get out?"
The officer smiled wryly.
The military strength of the government office is only a few hundred people. These hundreds of people have to be sent to guard the entrances and exits of the major mountain roads, as well as the major temples and Taoist temples on the mountain. How can they be manned?
If only dozens of people want to go down the mountain, their people can even bluff and stop them.
But now more and more people are asking to go down the mountain, how can their manpower be able to?
Xie Jinbai asked the crux of the matter, "Where are the people who are about to go down the mountain gathered?"
Yes, now is not the time to get to the bottom of it.
Fearing that soldiers would kill or hurt people again, Tang Shimao hurriedly asked, "You lead the way ahead, and take my lord there quickly."
Tang Shimao hurriedly let the soldiers lead the way.
At this time it was still raining outside, the sky was not yet bright, and he was worried that the people would make trouble and hurt his father. Tang Xiaotang was worried, and saw his father followed the soldier out of the hall, so he hurriedly followed.
Before his legs had crossed the threshold of the main hall, someone grabbed him by the back collar.
A lazy voice sounded from behind, "Where are you going, young master?"
Tang Xiaotang pursed her lips.
Why does this person like to pick up people's back collars so much, "I, I don't, don't let go, don't worry, ah, father, I... I want, follow, follow, and have a look. Let me go. Xie Jinbai looked down at him, the tails of his long and narrow eyes raised slightly, "Your father wronged you indiscriminately, are you still worried about him?"
"Yes, I want you to take care of it!"
Tang Xiaotang angrily removed Xie Jinbai's hand holding his collar.
I don't know what this person ate on weekdays to grow up, his strength is surprisingly great, no matter how hard he exerts, he can't get away with it.
"You, let go, let me go, or I won't be able to catch up!"
Xie Jinbai took a deep look at Tang Xiaotang, and said quietly, "Come with me."
After finishing speaking, he took the lead in stepping over the threshold.
Tang Xiaotang was skeptical and followed.
When I stepped out of the threshold, I saw the oil-paper umbrella in the bucket by the corridor door, so I "borrowed" one.
He doesn't care if the bastard Xie gets wet or not!
snort!
Tang Xiaotang opened the umbrella and walked into the rain curtain, but when he saw Xie Jinbai who was waiting on the stairs in the corridor, he walked under his umbrella very naturally, his eyes widened immediately.
"you you……"
Xie Jin gave him a white look, "Doesn't it mean that if you don't catch up, you won't be able to keep up?"
Tang Xiaotang's knuckles holding the umbrella handle turned white.
He endures!
Led by soldiers, Tang Shimao left the mountain temple.
Sure enough, on a level ground on the main road leading down the mountain, there were many people wearing coir raincoats and holding torches, clamoring to go down the mountain, and some of them directly fought with the soldiers.
The magistrate Liu Lihuai and the judge Yang Yi are struggling.
Everyone felt that they were unlucky, and they were not the ones who gave the order to relocate the whole city. It was because Nadu Shuisi Langzhong lived next door to him, and there were people making trouble. He couldn't find the magistrate, so he put them together. Please come.
Right now I can't get away.
Liu Lihuai had sharp eyes, and when he saw Tang Shimao coming, he immediately raised his voice, "Folks, don't panic, don't panic, the magistrate is here, the magistrate is here!"
The people clamoring to go down the mountain heard that the magistrate was coming, so they immediately surrounded Tang Shimao.
"May I ask Mr. Tang, have we committed any crime? Why didn't you let us go down the mountain?"
"That's right! It is said that there will be floods! But look, look for yourself, look down the mountain from here, although there is fog blocking it, you can still tell whether Chun'an City has been flooded or not, right? Look for yourself, where is the flood?!"
"Master Tang, we all believed your words and stayed on this mountain all night. There is no one to take care of the cattle and sheep at home. My lord, please let us go down the mountain. My lord!"
"Folks, it's not that I don't want you to go down the mountain. It's actually that Dushui Si Jiancheng visited the Chizhang River on the spot. Due to the heavy rain for several days, the water level of the Chizhang River is far higher than in previous years, and the dam may burst. Folks, please Be patient for a while, and when the flood is over and everyone is safe, I will let everyone go back, okay?"
"Patience for now? We have endured all night, isn't it enough? How long do we need to endure?"
"Could it be that we can't go down the mountain if the flood doesn't come?"
"That's right! Could it be that we can't go down the mountain if the flood doesn't come? Folks, it doesn't make sense. It's impossible for the government to allow us to go down the mountain! Let's go down the mountain by ourselves!"
Tang Xiaotang followed Xie Jinbai to the mountain pass by taking a small path. Seeing his father surrounded by the people, he hurried forward.
"Stay here and don't move."
With his fingertips skillfully tapping the acupuncture points on Tang Xiaotang's body, Xie Jinbai confessed in a low voice before falling into the rain curtain.
Tang Xiaotang never expected that Xie Huaiyu would make such a move.
He tried to move his body, but he couldn't move at all. He was so angry that he shouted behind Xie Jinbai, "Hey, Xie Huai—"
The people are still clamoring to go down the mountain.
"Go! Let's go down—"
Before the word "mountain" was finished, a knife lay across the neck of the middle-aged man who had just spoken.
Under the banana tree, Tang Xiaotang's "Xie Huaiyu" stopped abruptly.
But seeing Xie Jinbai moving quickly, he drew a large knife from the waist of one of the soldiers, holding the handle of the knife, the sharp blade approached the troublemaker's neck, and his narrow eyes swept across the surroundings.
The smile that was always on his lips disappeared, his eyes were cold, and the heavy rain on his body inexplicably made him a little colder. At this time, he was like a cold-faced general who had been in battle for a long time, his voice was chilling, "Those who go down the mountain without authorization will be killed without mercy."
Tang Shimao was taken aback, fearing that this man would kill him without blinking an eye, "Thank you, thank you Xun, keep the man under the knife"
Xie Jinbai faced the crowd, "Is there anyone else who wants to go down the mountain?"
People are afraid of death.
If they can go down the mountain alive, no one wants to be a cold corpse in this mountain.
But there are so many of them!
Could it be that the officers and soldiers could kill all of them?
Having said that, no one wants to be that early bird.
For a while, the scene fell into a stalemate.
"Yo. It seems that Xie Xunyong can be worth a hundred by himself without the need of this king."
A clear and arrogant voice sounded.
Everyone looked for the reputation, but saw a handsome young man in a crimson dress with sleeves, appearing in front of everyone.
Behind him, apart from Xiao Zishu who was holding an umbrella for him, there were soldiers in armor and coir raincoats, occupying the entire hill windingly, with no end in sight.
King Ning!
King Ning finally came with his private soldiers!
Tang Shimao looked excited.
He took a few steps forward, bowed to King Ning and said, "Your Majesty Tang Shimao, I have met King Ning."
"I have seen King Ning."
Liu Lihuai, Yang Yi and other officials present also saluted King Ning.
"Get up. Get up."
Ji Yunfei waved her hands casually, put her hands behind her back, her beautiful phoenix eyes glanced disdainfully at the people in front of her, "Which one of you wants to go down the mountain? If you want to go down the mountain, just tell me. The gang of private soldiers under the king will send you off, okay?"
Chun'an lives in a remote corner, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and they don't pick up things on the road on weekdays. Occasionally, a murder case can cause heated discussions among the people in the city's streets and alleys. Never have you seen so many soldiers all armed in battle, and you were immediately frightened. up.
No one said a word.
Ji Yunfei changed the subject, "I'm not leaving, right? That's fine. I've been climbing the mountain for a long time, and now I'm thirsty. I plan to go to the temple on the mountain to rest my legs and drink tea or something. You guys What? Should I go back, or let me send someone to take you down the mountain?"
Ji Yunfei and Chun'an's reputation as a top dog is not built on.
In Chun'an City, who doesn't know that King Ning is brutal and murderous!
It is said that every once in a while, in the dead of night, the corpses of servants or servants who died of abuse are secretly carried out of Prince Ning's Mansion!
The people backed up, backed up again.
If it is said that just now people still thought that it was impossible for the government to kill them all just because they insisted on going down the mountain.
But what is in front of him is the evil god Ning Wang!
Saying that they sent private soldiers to send them down the mountain, don't "send" them to the underworld under the pretext of sending them down the mountain!
It is said that killing pays for life, but this King Ning is the elder brother of the current Holy Majesty, even if he really killed a few people and killed them, will the one sitting on the dragon chair in the capital still get to the bottom of it?
Otherwise, should we go back to the temple first?
Anyway, going back is just a squeeze and suffers some pain, but if you go down the mountain, you will really die.
Seeing that no one was clamoring to go down the mountain, Ji Yunfei was rather disappointed, "Are you really not going down the mountain? Okay, then I will go to the temple to drink saliva first. Remember to tell the people who are going down the mountain, I will send someone to You escort to the end."
After finishing speaking, he smiled, showing a pair of white teeth.
More people retreated, some of them even ran back to the temple on the mountain.
The smile on Ji Yunfei's face faded away.
What kind of broom star is he?
Back off when you see him, what do you mean?
As a result, the people saw the gloomy King Ning running faster.
"master."
Xiao Zishu handed over the cyan oil-paper umbrella to the soldiers behind Ji Yunfei, strode up to Xie Jinbai in the rain, and saluted with fists clasped.
Xie Jinbai had put the saber back into the scabbard of the soldier, "Thank you for your hard work this time."
Xiao Zishu looked solemn, "This is the job of the subordinate."
Xie Jinbai walked towards Ji Yunfei, cupped his hands and said, "On behalf of the people of Chun'an, I would like to thank King Ning for his generous loan of troops."
Tang Shimao and others also said in unison, "Thank you King Ning for borrowing troops!"
Ji Yunfei snorted coldly, folded her arms across her chest, "I'm thirsty, why don't you lead the way quickly, and invite me to the mountain temple to shelter from the rain and have a cup of hot tea?"
Xie Jinbai made a "please" gesture, "Prince Ning, please."
Seeing that Xie Jinbai was about to take King Ning up the mountain, Tang Xiaotang under the banana tree was in a hurry.
Xie Jinbai is a bastard, you must have forgotten him, right? !
Tang Xiaotang wanted to stop the man loudly and untie the acupoints for him, but he was also worried that his father would punish him in public if he knew he had sneaked out of the temple gate.
With her hands behind her back, Ji Yunfei went up the mountain side by side with Xie Jinbai.
The soldier holding the umbrella followed closely.
Tang Shimao, Xiao Zishu and others followed behind.
Ji Yunfei looked around casually, and inadvertently caught sight of Tang Xiaotang standing on a banana tree with an umbrella.
Ji Yunfei was not in a hurry to go up the mountain anymore, he changed direction and walked directly towards the banana tree where Tang Xiaotang was.
"Isn't this Mr. Tang? Why did you show up here alone? Oh, I see, you came to see...someone secretly, right?"
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Xie Jinbai with a smile.
Now, as long as he is not blind, he can know who the so-called "someone" he refers to.
After going through the various taverns a while ago, the storytellers in the taverns vividly told the "interesting anecdotes of the former dynasty" and "the story of the young master's proposal to marry" and so on. The people of Chun'an did not know that the prefect's young master came to Kyoto in Zhaohui Building Xie Xun is in charge of thanking your lord.
Ji Yunfei's voice is not low.
The officials are fine, but due to the presence of the superior Tang Shimao, even if they want to laugh, they can only hold back.
The common people did not have this "political awareness", and immediately started discussing it.
"Is this the young master of the prefect's family?"
"Didn't you say you were beaten by Xie Xun? Why don't you give up?"
"That's really infatuated."
"That's not true! Could it be that Xie Xun's heart is made of stone, and he really doesn't give the young master a chance at all?"
"Hey! When you said that, you forgot, the storyteller said it, and Xie Xunyong was with...then what, you understand?"
"Hey, I remember how there is a poem that often appears in the storybook, what is the heart, the bright moon, the ditch, what..."
"I know, I know, I just heard the girl on the boat sing a few days ago, it's 'My heart is for the bright moon, but the bright moon shines in the ditch', right? Right?"
"That's right, that's right! It's the same meaning as Luo Hua's intentional flow of water and ruthlessness!"
A sound of discussion, like raindrops, hit the face densely.
For Tang Xiaotang, it was a public execution. His face was red and white for a while, red and white interlaced.
And because he was tapped, he couldn't even walk away.
How can Tang Shimao hold on to the fact that his son-in-law is being discussed in public?
He couldn't vent his anger on the common people, so he could only direct all the pent-up anger in his chest at Tang Xiaotang, "Nizi! What are you still standing here for? Why don't you hurry back to the temple on the mountain? Don't you feel ashamed enough?"
Even though Tang Shimao kept his face down and lowered his voice, the question "I don't feel ashamed enough" was heard clearly in Tang Xiaotang's ears.
Rebellious son, shame on you.
It seems that these words are what Father said to him the most.
How could Tang Xiaotang not know that King Ning deliberately raised the volume?
Although the people's comments embarrass him, it is far less than Father's reprimand.
At this moment, Xiaotang would rather stand under the banana tree without being seen by anyone.
"Nizi, did you hear me talking to you?"
Holding an umbrella, Tang Xiaotang lowered his eyebrows and let the cold rain hit his face.
"Weimian came out with me."
Xie Jinbai walked over.
Tang Shimao was taken aback.
What, what?
Xie Jinbai stretched out his hand, and tapped Tang Xiaotang's body lightly with his fingertips.
Because I kept the same posture for too long, and because it was inconvenient last night, I didn't take any medicine, and my legs were a little bit unbearable at the moment.
Once the acupuncture points on his body were untied, Tang Xiaotang's legs became weak, and he couldn't even hold the oiled paper umbrella in his hand.
The oil-paper umbrella slipped from his hand, and he was about to fall to the ground.
"Tang'er!"
Tang Shimao finally noticed something was wrong with his son.
He subconsciously reached out to help.
Someone is one step ahead of him.
The bony hand grasped the umbrella handle that fell from Tang Xiaotang's hand in time, and put one hand around his waist to catch him firmly.
Tang Shimao hurriedly stepped forward and thanked his son, "Thank you for the patrol."
"Leave Tang'er to the old man."
Tang Shimao stretched out his hands.
Xie Jin didn't raise her eyebrows.
He looked down at the young master in his arms, "Can you go?"
Tang Xiaotang leaned on Xie Jinbai and shook her head with a pale face, "I, I seem to... have a leg problem, I have a leg problem."
Tang Shimao didn't care about the embarrassment that he stretched out his hand just now, but was in vain. He frowned and asked, "What happened to your leg? Didn't your mother say that your leg is much better?"
As a father, it is ironic that his eldest son's physical condition is only learned from his wife.
But Tang Shimao himself didn't seem to realize this.
Xie Jin glanced at Tang Shimao with white eyes.
Tang Shimao was a little bit dissatisfied, but he still didn't want to argue with Xie Jinbai in public, so he held back in the end.
Under the astonished eyes of everyone, Xie Jinbai handed the umbrella to Tang Xiaotang's hand, slammed it horizontally, and hugged him up.
Thinking that this person was going to carry him like last time, Tang Xiaotang took the umbrella tacitly.
Never thought that this person did not play his cards according to common sense this time.
The moment his body flew into the air, Tang Xiaotang yelled "ah", and instinctively wrapped his hands around the opponent's neck.
The common people stared wide-eyed and exclaimed "heh", "huh" and "ah".
Good guy!
Which song is this sung again?
Could it be that the young master has already successfully picked such a delicate flower as Xun Ya?
Several officials present were stunned, and some people didn't believe in evil, and raised their hands to rub their eyes.
Him, is he blind?
Only Tang Shimao frowned, his face was too green.
Tang'er's relationship with this Xie Xunyong, when did they get so close? !
Tang Xiaotang was so embarrassed when he heard the people's outspoken surprise, he wanted to find a crack to sneak in.
This person must have done it on purpose!
Deliberately embarrassing him in front of so many people!
With no ground to drill, Tang Xiaotang had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and buried his face into Xie Jinbai's neck, as if he could shut out all the startled comments around him.
Ji Yunfei and Xiao Zishu both looked like they had seen a ghost.
Ji Yunfei even asked Xiao Zishu directly, "Xiao Shitou, has your master been possessed by a ghost?"
Doesn't Xie Huaiyu like that little emperor?
Didn't he guard his body like a jade for the little emperor and go through all the ceremonies of a weak crown, but so far there is not even a maid in the room, a servant in the room or anything else?
Would you allow yourself to take the initiative to hug Tang Xiaotang?
Ji Yunfei looked up at the dark sky.
Is it really going to change?
How could Xiao Zishu's heart be less shocked than Ji Yunfei's at this time?
Among the people present, Xiao Zishu was the only one who saw how the master planned for that person, and how the two of them went from temptation to mutual affection step by step.
With so many people present, even if Tang Xiaotang really couldn't walk, the master could hand him over to anyone present at will.
Not to mention that Tang Shimao, the father, was also present!
But the master didn't.
He actually chose not to use human hands, but still hugged the person by the waist, which was too intimate!
If it was changed to before, the master would definitely not be able to do this!
Xiao Zishu still hasn't been able to understand why the master was so resolute in burning the letter that he sent that day, where he went that night, and why he came back covered in blood, just like the smile that was always on his lips in the past The meaning is gone.
It's like completely changing a person, like returning from hell, cold and unapproachable.
If it wasn't for the master returning to his flirtatious appearance with a three-point smile before saying a word the next day, he would have thought that the master who came back that night had been dumped.
But how can these be explained to outsiders?
King Ning couldn't offend him, so he could only say expressionlessly, "Never."
After all, he quickly followed his master.
"I haven't finished my question yet! Xiao Mutou, stop for me, stop!"
Ji Yunfei raised her foot to catch up.
The soldier who held the umbrella for him, and a group of officials had to hurriedly follow, fearing that this precious little prince might make a mistake.
The common people had nothing to watch and couldn't go down the mountain, so they had to walk up the mountain in twos and threes.
Ji Yunfei took a few quick steps and caught up with Xiao Zishu.
Putting a hand on Xiao Zishu's shoulder from behind, "Xiao Mutou, this king ordered you to stop, tell this king—"
Suddenly, the ground shook under his feet.
"What happened?"
"Why do I feel like the mountain is shaking?"
"It doesn't seem like it! I feel it too! This mountain is really shaking!"
"The mountain is shaking, the mountain is shaking!"
The people panicked and shouted.
Ji Yunfei frowned upon hearing this.
This mountain shakes it, what is it called?
Strange……
It's frustrating.
The mountain became more and more swaying, and it was difficult for Ji Yunfei to stand up.
Suddenly, he stepped on the ground and was about to fall down the mountain.
"wood!"
"My lord!"
"My lord, be careful!"
The crowd exclaimed.
Hearing the little prince's voice, Xiao Zishu turned his head suddenly. Seeing this dangerous situation, his eyes became serious, and he reached out to grab the belt behind Ji Yunfei's back, and with a strong lift of his arm, he brought him back.
Ji Yunfei was still in shock, he repeatedly slapped his chest, "Scared, scared me to death."
Hearing this, Xiao Zishu glanced at the young prince and thought, are you ever afraid?
Suddenly, the waist was hugged.
"what are you doing?"
Because I was so surprised, I even forgot my honorific name.
"What are you doing? What is it called? The mountain is still shaking, how can I go? We are both men, why are you being so coy? Hurry up and escort me up the mountain safely!"
To put it bluntly, Ji Yunfei was still terrified by the almost falling off the mountain just now, so she had to hug Xiao Zishu tightly to be at ease.
The mountain was still shaking, Xiao Zishu really didn't dare to let go, so he had to go up the mountain step by step with a body part like King Ning hanging on his body.
"Boom--"
"Long!"
First there were several muffled thunderclaps in the sky.
Xie Jinbai raised his head and looked towards the sky, "Cover your ears."
"What, what?"
Because it was still thundering, Tang Xiaotang didn't hear what Xie Jinbai said just now.
"That's too late."
Tang Xiaotang heard this sentence clearly.
But even if he heard clearly this time, he was still at a loss.
What, why is it too late?
Before Tang Xiaotang could react, suddenly, a deafening thunder exploded in his ears.
The thunderbolt was missing, and the mountains collapsed.
The sound was so loud that it seemed to split the whole world.
The mountain shook even more violently.
Tang Xiaotang was so frightened that his whole body trembled, his hands around Xie Jinbai's neck unconsciously tightened, and he buried his face deeply in his arms.
"God! The thunder just now was too scary!"
Ji Yunfei patted her chest in shock.
The timid people were frightened and called their father and mother.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Quick! Quick! Look down the mountain!"
Everyone looked down in shock again, only to see that the seemingly impregnable dam on the Chizhang River had burst at some point.
The river flowed backwards, galloping like a giant roaring water dragon, quickly engulfing the houses, streets, and even the entire Chun'an City near the Chizhang River.
But in the blink of an eye, Chun'an City was plunged into a turbid river.
no one on the mountain
The flirtatious peach blossom eyes raised slightly, and he said lazily, "What? Young master Tang used my lord's legs as pillows for a whole night, and after waking up, I still want to ask my lord for a hug?"
Suo, what the hell is Suo hugging!
Tang Xiaotang blushed, and for a long time, he choked out a few words, "Just, just, no, no!"
"Murder! Officers and soldiers beat someone!"
"Dead man! Dead man! Officers and soldiers beat him to death!"
"Killed! Officers and soldiers killed!"
"Laiqing, my son, my son! Who will save my son! Who will save my son!"
The women's mournful wails, the officers and soldiers' clangs, and the people's shouts all rang out.
It was only at this time that Tang Xiaotang noticed that the movement in the hall seemed a little unusual.
"F, what happened, what, what happened?"
He turned his head in a daze and looked at Xie Jinbai, only to see that the latter had gotten up at some point.
"Stay here, don't run around."
Xie Jinbai explained to Tang Xiaotang, and then to the back of the pillar, Qingluan, who had already woken up but had never been born, ordered, "Look at your son."
Qingluan was taken aback.
She has not made a sound since she woke up. When did this guy find out that she was awake?
"Hey……"
Tang Xiaotang was just about to get up from the ground to catch up, but he tripped over something under his feet.
"My lord, my lord, are you okay!"
Qingluan turned around the stone pillar, and saw her young master fell to the ground, and hurried over to help him up.
"I'm fine..."
Tang Xiaotang shook his head and stood up anxiously.
Looking up, Xie Jinbai was nowhere to be seen.
Tang Xiaotang kicked something beside his feet angrily to see what tripped him up.
Looking down, it turned out to be a thin quilt.
Thin quilt?
Why is there a thin quilt on his body?
Tang Xiaotang suddenly remembered that when he sat up, something seemed to have slipped from him, but he was still sleepy at the time, so he didn't care.
He also remembered that when he woke up, he hadn't seen anything like a quilt or clothes on that person's body to keep out the cold.
Tang Xiaotang stared blankly at the thin quilt on the ground.
So, last night, that person gave him his book?
"Why did the quilt fall to the floor?"
Qingluan followed the line of sight of her young master and saw the thin quilt at Tang Xiaotang's feet, she quickly bent down to pick up the quilt on the ground, and patted the dust on it, "This thin quilt should belong to that Xun Xun, We have to keep it well and return it when the time comes..."
Tang Xiaotang interrupted Qingluan, and said to Qingluan, "Qingluan, put the quilt away for me, I'll go and see what happened ahead."
Qingluan dissuaded, "Young master, you forgot, just now Master Xie asked you not to run around?"
"Are you my maidservant or his maidservant? How can you listen to him? Besides, if he can see what happened, why can't I go? Good Qingluan, wait for me here, I'll be there soon Come back, ah."
"Master, son!"
Qingluan wanted to catch up, but she was holding a thin quilt in her hand, and she had to salute to watch, she really couldn't get out, so she could only stamp anxiously on the spot, worried that she couldn't do it.
"My son! My son! What's wrong with you, don't scare my mother! Son, tell me! Is there a doctor, is there a doctor?! Please, please, help me Son, save my son!"
"Murder pays for life! Folks, today we will fight these dog officials!"
"Fight! Fight with them!"
The crowd was furious, and the people clamored, rushing towards the officers and soldiers holding spears like a tide.
There are hundreds of people in the palace, but only a dozen officers and soldiers.
Even though every officer and soldier held a spear in his hand, facing hundreds of people, and because the superior had issued an order not to hurt innocent people with his hands, they could only retreat passively and in embarrassment.
Soon, someone broke through the defense built by the officers and soldiers with spears.
Naturally, the officers and soldiers could not wait to die, so they had to forcefully drive the people away.
"stop!"
Seeing that the common people were about to have physical conflicts with the officers and soldiers, the scene fell into chaos, and a deep and dignified voice sounded.
Xie Jinbai in a blue and white shirt stepped out from the crowd.
"Who is this person?"
"So young."
"Not only young, but also very handsome."
"Handsome, could it be that this is...that, that Xie Xunyan?"
In the crowd, someone recognized Xie Jinbai as Xie Xunyan from Yingyang. He pointed at Xie Jinbai and said loudly, "Folks! He is the official Xie Gou from Yingyang! It's him! I think we live a good life. , Tossing us since yesterday, until now, still unwilling to let us go down the mountain! Not only that, those soldiers also killed people, folks, today we want him to give us an explanation no matter what!"
"Wow! It turns out that you are that dog officer surnamed Xie, who caused us people to be so troubled! Today, people were killed! We must give us an explanation!"
The soldiers were also anxious when they heard this, and one of them hurriedly walked in front of Xie Jinbai, clasped his fists and reported, "Master Xie, don't listen to these scoundrels spouting blood! We will follow the orders of the magistrate and you, and we don't dare to hurt the people at will. Our people have never encountered that young Confucian scholar at all, and the young Confucian scholar lay on the ground by himself! Please learn from me!"
Behind him, the rest of the officers and soldiers bowed and clasped their fists to report, "Please learn from me, my lord!"
"Excuse me, give me a break, give me a break!"
Tang Xiaotang squeezed through the crowd with difficulty and accidentally stepped on an old woman's foot.
"Hold, I'm sorry. Auntie, you, are you okay? I, I am not so... Auntie?"
Tang Xiaotang hurriedly apologized, but the aunt who was stepped on by him didn't respond at all.
Tang Xiaotang raised her head in confusion, but saw the aunt with red eyes staring at something.
The eyes are quite piercing.
Tang Xiaotang followed the aunt's gaze and saw Xie Jinbai standing among the crowd like a cypress and a crane at a glance.
Tang Xiaotang turned his head again, looked at the aunt beside him, and said doubtfully, "Auntie, you know..."
You guys, you beat someone to death and still don’t admit it, and you still slander us to celebrate that you fainted yourself!My old lady fights with you!
Tang Xiaotang hadn't finished speaking, and saw that the aunt who was still motionless just now, who was like a stone statue, suddenly ran towards Xie Jinbai.
Tang Xiaotang had a bad instinct.
"careful!"
He yelled in Xie Jinbai's direction.
Without even thinking about it, he rushed forward, hugged Xie Jinbai's waist with both hands desperately, and blocked him with his body.
Tang Xiaotang buried her face in Xie Jinbai's arms, and closed her eyes tightly out of fear.
However, the expected pain never came.
"Let go of me, you dog officials, let me go, let me go!"
The old woman's hoarse, hateful voice rang in her ears.
Ok?
Tang Xiaotang hesitantly and slowly raised his head from Xie Jinbai's arms, looked for the voice, and turned his face——
But seeing that the old woman was taken down by two officers and soldiers for some reason, she couldn't move at all at the moment, only her eyes were as red as blood, staring at them with hatred.
Because the woman kept abusing her, the officers and soldiers simply took a veil and stuffed it into her mouth.
"What happened... Nizi, what are you doing?!"
Tang Shimao heard that there were troubles in the front hall again, and some officers and soldiers accidentally beat people to death, so he didn't care much and rushed to the main hall in a hurry.
Who knows, when he came in from the main hall, he happened to see Tang Xiaotang hugging Xie Jinbai, and immediately became furious.
Tang Shimao stepped forward quickly, and said sharply, "Nizi, don't let go, Mr. Xie! How decent is it in the public?"
Tang Xiaotang trembled when he heard his father's voice. He didn't know why his father came over, and when he heard his father scolding him indiscriminately, he felt more and more aggrieved.
After discovering that the old woman had been subdued by the officers and soldiers, he was about to let go. He was taken aback by his father, so...
Tang Xiaotang let go of Xie Jinbai, lowered his head, but didn't speak.
Anyway, no matter how he explained, Dad would not listen.
Tang Shimao glared at his son with hatred, and apologized to Xie Jinbai, "Sorry, Xie Xunyan, the dog is rude. Please forgive me!"
Xie Jinbai said calmly, "Prefect Tang misunderstood."
Tang Shimao's eyes showed confusion.
Misunderstand?
What do you mean?
Xie Jinbai changed the subject, "Since the prefect Tang is here, we might as well discuss together how to resolve the matter between this aunt and her son."
The old lady Tang Shimao had just arrived, so she didn't understand the situation in front of her very well.
After receiving the news in advance, the yamen servant who came earlier stepped forward, leaned into the magistrate's ear, and talked to Tang Shi Maobei in detail.
When Tang Shimao heard that someone was dead, his face turned livid.
Sternly glanced at the officers and soldiers in front of him, Tang Shimao cursed, "Bastard! Didn't my lord say that you are not allowed to do anything to the people? Where is the Confucian scholar who suddenly fell to the ground? Why don't you hurry up and take me to see it?" look?"
The most urgent task is to find out the cause of the Confucian scholar's death.
This is consistent with Xie Jinbai's original plan.
If the old lady hadn't rushed out suddenly, he would have asked to see the Confucian scholar first.
The yamen servants led the way, and the people in the hall dispersed to make way.
A group of people came to the place where the Confucian scholar was lying.
Tang Shimao squatted down and sniffed the Confucian scholar himself.
Although the detected breath was weak, it was true that the person under him was still angry. Tang Shimao immediately shouted excitedly, "There is still energy! There is still air! Any of you, go and pour a bowl of water! Quick! "
Immediately, some people handed over water.
Tang Shimao carefully lifted the Confucian scholar and tried to feed water into the Confucian scholar's mouth.
"Cough cough cough..."
The Confucian scholar coughed weakly for a few times, and then weakly opened his eyes.
"Alive! Alive!" "Really alive!"
"No! No! No!"
The old woman saw her son coughing and opened his eyes with tears streaming from his eyes.
Poor mouth was stuffed with a veil, so he couldn't say anything.
"Let her go."
Xie Jinbai gave instructions to the two officers and soldiers who were escorting the woman.
The two officers and soldiers also let him go.
"Qing'er, Qing'er...mother's Qing'er."
The old woman rushed to the Confucian scholar, hugged her son who had been resurrected from the dead, and cried loudly.
It turned out that the hall was stuffy and hot. The Confucian scholar turned on the lamp last night and read the book all night. He was tired, and he didn't sleep all night. He was short of energy and blood. He couldn't breathe quickly, so he suddenly fainted on the ground.
The old woman was probably too flustered when the incident happened, she didn't check her son's breath carefully, and mistakenly thought that her son was dead, so there was a misunderstanding that the officers and soldiers beat him to death by mistake.
No matter what, it's good that no one is killed.
Just as Tang Shimao was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the officers and soldiers outside came to report in a panic, "My lord, it's not good! People from a nearby temple rushed out of the mountain temple and clashed with the officers and soldiers stationed on the mountain road. They must go down the mountain!"
Tang Shimao was taken aback, "What? Didn't all the major exits of the temple be guarded in turn? How did the people get out?"
The officer smiled wryly.
The military strength of the government office is only a few hundred people. These hundreds of people have to be sent to guard the entrances and exits of the major mountain roads, as well as the major temples and Taoist temples on the mountain. How can they be manned?
If only dozens of people want to go down the mountain, their people can even bluff and stop them.
But now more and more people are asking to go down the mountain, how can their manpower be able to?
Xie Jinbai asked the crux of the matter, "Where are the people who are about to go down the mountain gathered?"
Yes, now is not the time to get to the bottom of it.
Fearing that soldiers would kill or hurt people again, Tang Shimao hurriedly asked, "You lead the way ahead, and take my lord there quickly."
Tang Shimao hurriedly let the soldiers lead the way.
At this time it was still raining outside, the sky was not yet bright, and he was worried that the people would make trouble and hurt his father. Tang Xiaotang was worried, and saw his father followed the soldier out of the hall, so he hurriedly followed.
Before his legs had crossed the threshold of the main hall, someone grabbed him by the back collar.
A lazy voice sounded from behind, "Where are you going, young master?"
Tang Xiaotang pursed her lips.
Why does this person like to pick up people's back collars so much, "I, I don't, don't let go, don't worry, ah, father, I... I want, follow, follow, and have a look. Let me go. Xie Jinbai looked down at him, the tails of his long and narrow eyes raised slightly, "Your father wronged you indiscriminately, are you still worried about him?"
"Yes, I want you to take care of it!"
Tang Xiaotang angrily removed Xie Jinbai's hand holding his collar.
I don't know what this person ate on weekdays to grow up, his strength is surprisingly great, no matter how hard he exerts, he can't get away with it.
"You, let go, let me go, or I won't be able to catch up!"
Xie Jinbai took a deep look at Tang Xiaotang, and said quietly, "Come with me."
After finishing speaking, he took the lead in stepping over the threshold.
Tang Xiaotang was skeptical and followed.
When I stepped out of the threshold, I saw the oil-paper umbrella in the bucket by the corridor door, so I "borrowed" one.
He doesn't care if the bastard Xie gets wet or not!
snort!
Tang Xiaotang opened the umbrella and walked into the rain curtain, but when he saw Xie Jinbai who was waiting on the stairs in the corridor, he walked under his umbrella very naturally, his eyes widened immediately.
"you you……"
Xie Jin gave him a white look, "Doesn't it mean that if you don't catch up, you won't be able to keep up?"
Tang Xiaotang's knuckles holding the umbrella handle turned white.
He endures!
Led by soldiers, Tang Shimao left the mountain temple.
Sure enough, on a level ground on the main road leading down the mountain, there were many people wearing coir raincoats and holding torches, clamoring to go down the mountain, and some of them directly fought with the soldiers.
The magistrate Liu Lihuai and the judge Yang Yi are struggling.
Everyone felt that they were unlucky, and they were not the ones who gave the order to relocate the whole city. It was because Nadu Shuisi Langzhong lived next door to him, and there were people making trouble. He couldn't find the magistrate, so he put them together. Please come.
Right now I can't get away.
Liu Lihuai had sharp eyes, and when he saw Tang Shimao coming, he immediately raised his voice, "Folks, don't panic, don't panic, the magistrate is here, the magistrate is here!"
The people clamoring to go down the mountain heard that the magistrate was coming, so they immediately surrounded Tang Shimao.
"May I ask Mr. Tang, have we committed any crime? Why didn't you let us go down the mountain?"
"That's right! It is said that there will be floods! But look, look for yourself, look down the mountain from here, although there is fog blocking it, you can still tell whether Chun'an City has been flooded or not, right? Look for yourself, where is the flood?!"
"Master Tang, we all believed your words and stayed on this mountain all night. There is no one to take care of the cattle and sheep at home. My lord, please let us go down the mountain. My lord!"
"Folks, it's not that I don't want you to go down the mountain. It's actually that Dushui Si Jiancheng visited the Chizhang River on the spot. Due to the heavy rain for several days, the water level of the Chizhang River is far higher than in previous years, and the dam may burst. Folks, please Be patient for a while, and when the flood is over and everyone is safe, I will let everyone go back, okay?"
"Patience for now? We have endured all night, isn't it enough? How long do we need to endure?"
"Could it be that we can't go down the mountain if the flood doesn't come?"
"That's right! Could it be that we can't go down the mountain if the flood doesn't come? Folks, it doesn't make sense. It's impossible for the government to allow us to go down the mountain! Let's go down the mountain by ourselves!"
Tang Xiaotang followed Xie Jinbai to the mountain pass by taking a small path. Seeing his father surrounded by the people, he hurried forward.
"Stay here and don't move."
With his fingertips skillfully tapping the acupuncture points on Tang Xiaotang's body, Xie Jinbai confessed in a low voice before falling into the rain curtain.
Tang Xiaotang never expected that Xie Huaiyu would make such a move.
He tried to move his body, but he couldn't move at all. He was so angry that he shouted behind Xie Jinbai, "Hey, Xie Huai—"
The people are still clamoring to go down the mountain.
"Go! Let's go down—"
Before the word "mountain" was finished, a knife lay across the neck of the middle-aged man who had just spoken.
Under the banana tree, Tang Xiaotang's "Xie Huaiyu" stopped abruptly.
But seeing Xie Jinbai moving quickly, he drew a large knife from the waist of one of the soldiers, holding the handle of the knife, the sharp blade approached the troublemaker's neck, and his narrow eyes swept across the surroundings.
The smile that was always on his lips disappeared, his eyes were cold, and the heavy rain on his body inexplicably made him a little colder. At this time, he was like a cold-faced general who had been in battle for a long time, his voice was chilling, "Those who go down the mountain without authorization will be killed without mercy."
Tang Shimao was taken aback, fearing that this man would kill him without blinking an eye, "Thank you, thank you Xun, keep the man under the knife"
Xie Jinbai faced the crowd, "Is there anyone else who wants to go down the mountain?"
People are afraid of death.
If they can go down the mountain alive, no one wants to be a cold corpse in this mountain.
But there are so many of them!
Could it be that the officers and soldiers could kill all of them?
Having said that, no one wants to be that early bird.
For a while, the scene fell into a stalemate.
"Yo. It seems that Xie Xunyong can be worth a hundred by himself without the need of this king."
A clear and arrogant voice sounded.
Everyone looked for the reputation, but saw a handsome young man in a crimson dress with sleeves, appearing in front of everyone.
Behind him, apart from Xiao Zishu who was holding an umbrella for him, there were soldiers in armor and coir raincoats, occupying the entire hill windingly, with no end in sight.
King Ning!
King Ning finally came with his private soldiers!
Tang Shimao looked excited.
He took a few steps forward, bowed to King Ning and said, "Your Majesty Tang Shimao, I have met King Ning."
"I have seen King Ning."
Liu Lihuai, Yang Yi and other officials present also saluted King Ning.
"Get up. Get up."
Ji Yunfei waved her hands casually, put her hands behind her back, her beautiful phoenix eyes glanced disdainfully at the people in front of her, "Which one of you wants to go down the mountain? If you want to go down the mountain, just tell me. The gang of private soldiers under the king will send you off, okay?"
Chun'an lives in a remote corner, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and they don't pick up things on the road on weekdays. Occasionally, a murder case can cause heated discussions among the people in the city's streets and alleys. Never have you seen so many soldiers all armed in battle, and you were immediately frightened. up.
No one said a word.
Ji Yunfei changed the subject, "I'm not leaving, right? That's fine. I've been climbing the mountain for a long time, and now I'm thirsty. I plan to go to the temple on the mountain to rest my legs and drink tea or something. You guys What? Should I go back, or let me send someone to take you down the mountain?"
Ji Yunfei and Chun'an's reputation as a top dog is not built on.
In Chun'an City, who doesn't know that King Ning is brutal and murderous!
It is said that every once in a while, in the dead of night, the corpses of servants or servants who died of abuse are secretly carried out of Prince Ning's Mansion!
The people backed up, backed up again.
If it is said that just now people still thought that it was impossible for the government to kill them all just because they insisted on going down the mountain.
But what is in front of him is the evil god Ning Wang!
Saying that they sent private soldiers to send them down the mountain, don't "send" them to the underworld under the pretext of sending them down the mountain!
It is said that killing pays for life, but this King Ning is the elder brother of the current Holy Majesty, even if he really killed a few people and killed them, will the one sitting on the dragon chair in the capital still get to the bottom of it?
Otherwise, should we go back to the temple first?
Anyway, going back is just a squeeze and suffers some pain, but if you go down the mountain, you will really die.
Seeing that no one was clamoring to go down the mountain, Ji Yunfei was rather disappointed, "Are you really not going down the mountain? Okay, then I will go to the temple to drink saliva first. Remember to tell the people who are going down the mountain, I will send someone to You escort to the end."
After finishing speaking, he smiled, showing a pair of white teeth.
More people retreated, some of them even ran back to the temple on the mountain.
The smile on Ji Yunfei's face faded away.
What kind of broom star is he?
Back off when you see him, what do you mean?
As a result, the people saw the gloomy King Ning running faster.
"master."
Xiao Zishu handed over the cyan oil-paper umbrella to the soldiers behind Ji Yunfei, strode up to Xie Jinbai in the rain, and saluted with fists clasped.
Xie Jinbai had put the saber back into the scabbard of the soldier, "Thank you for your hard work this time."
Xiao Zishu looked solemn, "This is the job of the subordinate."
Xie Jinbai walked towards Ji Yunfei, cupped his hands and said, "On behalf of the people of Chun'an, I would like to thank King Ning for his generous loan of troops."
Tang Shimao and others also said in unison, "Thank you King Ning for borrowing troops!"
Ji Yunfei snorted coldly, folded her arms across her chest, "I'm thirsty, why don't you lead the way quickly, and invite me to the mountain temple to shelter from the rain and have a cup of hot tea?"
Xie Jinbai made a "please" gesture, "Prince Ning, please."
Seeing that Xie Jinbai was about to take King Ning up the mountain, Tang Xiaotang under the banana tree was in a hurry.
Xie Jinbai is a bastard, you must have forgotten him, right? !
Tang Xiaotang wanted to stop the man loudly and untie the acupoints for him, but he was also worried that his father would punish him in public if he knew he had sneaked out of the temple gate.
With her hands behind her back, Ji Yunfei went up the mountain side by side with Xie Jinbai.
The soldier holding the umbrella followed closely.
Tang Shimao, Xiao Zishu and others followed behind.
Ji Yunfei looked around casually, and inadvertently caught sight of Tang Xiaotang standing on a banana tree with an umbrella.
Ji Yunfei was not in a hurry to go up the mountain anymore, he changed direction and walked directly towards the banana tree where Tang Xiaotang was.
"Isn't this Mr. Tang? Why did you show up here alone? Oh, I see, you came to see...someone secretly, right?"
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Xie Jinbai with a smile.
Now, as long as he is not blind, he can know who the so-called "someone" he refers to.
After going through the various taverns a while ago, the storytellers in the taverns vividly told the "interesting anecdotes of the former dynasty" and "the story of the young master's proposal to marry" and so on. The people of Chun'an did not know that the prefect's young master came to Kyoto in Zhaohui Building Xie Xun is in charge of thanking your lord.
Ji Yunfei's voice is not low.
The officials are fine, but due to the presence of the superior Tang Shimao, even if they want to laugh, they can only hold back.
The common people did not have this "political awareness", and immediately started discussing it.
"Is this the young master of the prefect's family?"
"Didn't you say you were beaten by Xie Xun? Why don't you give up?"
"That's really infatuated."
"That's not true! Could it be that Xie Xun's heart is made of stone, and he really doesn't give the young master a chance at all?"
"Hey! When you said that, you forgot, the storyteller said it, and Xie Xunyong was with...then what, you understand?"
"Hey, I remember how there is a poem that often appears in the storybook, what is the heart, the bright moon, the ditch, what..."
"I know, I know, I just heard the girl on the boat sing a few days ago, it's 'My heart is for the bright moon, but the bright moon shines in the ditch', right? Right?"
"That's right, that's right! It's the same meaning as Luo Hua's intentional flow of water and ruthlessness!"
A sound of discussion, like raindrops, hit the face densely.
For Tang Xiaotang, it was a public execution. His face was red and white for a while, red and white interlaced.
And because he was tapped, he couldn't even walk away.
How can Tang Shimao hold on to the fact that his son-in-law is being discussed in public?
He couldn't vent his anger on the common people, so he could only direct all the pent-up anger in his chest at Tang Xiaotang, "Nizi! What are you still standing here for? Why don't you hurry back to the temple on the mountain? Don't you feel ashamed enough?"
Even though Tang Shimao kept his face down and lowered his voice, the question "I don't feel ashamed enough" was heard clearly in Tang Xiaotang's ears.
Rebellious son, shame on you.
It seems that these words are what Father said to him the most.
How could Tang Xiaotang not know that King Ning deliberately raised the volume?
Although the people's comments embarrass him, it is far less than Father's reprimand.
At this moment, Xiaotang would rather stand under the banana tree without being seen by anyone.
"Nizi, did you hear me talking to you?"
Holding an umbrella, Tang Xiaotang lowered his eyebrows and let the cold rain hit his face.
"Weimian came out with me."
Xie Jinbai walked over.
Tang Shimao was taken aback.
What, what?
Xie Jinbai stretched out his hand, and tapped Tang Xiaotang's body lightly with his fingertips.
Because I kept the same posture for too long, and because it was inconvenient last night, I didn't take any medicine, and my legs were a little bit unbearable at the moment.
Once the acupuncture points on his body were untied, Tang Xiaotang's legs became weak, and he couldn't even hold the oiled paper umbrella in his hand.
The oil-paper umbrella slipped from his hand, and he was about to fall to the ground.
"Tang'er!"
Tang Shimao finally noticed something was wrong with his son.
He subconsciously reached out to help.
Someone is one step ahead of him.
The bony hand grasped the umbrella handle that fell from Tang Xiaotang's hand in time, and put one hand around his waist to catch him firmly.
Tang Shimao hurriedly stepped forward and thanked his son, "Thank you for the patrol."
"Leave Tang'er to the old man."
Tang Shimao stretched out his hands.
Xie Jin didn't raise her eyebrows.
He looked down at the young master in his arms, "Can you go?"
Tang Xiaotang leaned on Xie Jinbai and shook her head with a pale face, "I, I seem to... have a leg problem, I have a leg problem."
Tang Shimao didn't care about the embarrassment that he stretched out his hand just now, but was in vain. He frowned and asked, "What happened to your leg? Didn't your mother say that your leg is much better?"
As a father, it is ironic that his eldest son's physical condition is only learned from his wife.
But Tang Shimao himself didn't seem to realize this.
Xie Jin glanced at Tang Shimao with white eyes.
Tang Shimao was a little bit dissatisfied, but he still didn't want to argue with Xie Jinbai in public, so he held back in the end.
Under the astonished eyes of everyone, Xie Jinbai handed the umbrella to Tang Xiaotang's hand, slammed it horizontally, and hugged him up.
Thinking that this person was going to carry him like last time, Tang Xiaotang took the umbrella tacitly.
Never thought that this person did not play his cards according to common sense this time.
The moment his body flew into the air, Tang Xiaotang yelled "ah", and instinctively wrapped his hands around the opponent's neck.
The common people stared wide-eyed and exclaimed "heh", "huh" and "ah".
Good guy!
Which song is this sung again?
Could it be that the young master has already successfully picked such a delicate flower as Xun Ya?
Several officials present were stunned, and some people didn't believe in evil, and raised their hands to rub their eyes.
Him, is he blind?
Only Tang Shimao frowned, his face was too green.
Tang'er's relationship with this Xie Xunyong, when did they get so close? !
Tang Xiaotang was so embarrassed when he heard the people's outspoken surprise, he wanted to find a crack to sneak in.
This person must have done it on purpose!
Deliberately embarrassing him in front of so many people!
With no ground to drill, Tang Xiaotang had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and buried his face into Xie Jinbai's neck, as if he could shut out all the startled comments around him.
Ji Yunfei and Xiao Zishu both looked like they had seen a ghost.
Ji Yunfei even asked Xiao Zishu directly, "Xiao Shitou, has your master been possessed by a ghost?"
Doesn't Xie Huaiyu like that little emperor?
Didn't he guard his body like a jade for the little emperor and go through all the ceremonies of a weak crown, but so far there is not even a maid in the room, a servant in the room or anything else?
Would you allow yourself to take the initiative to hug Tang Xiaotang?
Ji Yunfei looked up at the dark sky.
Is it really going to change?
How could Xiao Zishu's heart be less shocked than Ji Yunfei's at this time?
Among the people present, Xiao Zishu was the only one who saw how the master planned for that person, and how the two of them went from temptation to mutual affection step by step.
With so many people present, even if Tang Xiaotang really couldn't walk, the master could hand him over to anyone present at will.
Not to mention that Tang Shimao, the father, was also present!
But the master didn't.
He actually chose not to use human hands, but still hugged the person by the waist, which was too intimate!
If it was changed to before, the master would definitely not be able to do this!
Xiao Zishu still hasn't been able to understand why the master was so resolute in burning the letter that he sent that day, where he went that night, and why he came back covered in blood, just like the smile that was always on his lips in the past The meaning is gone.
It's like completely changing a person, like returning from hell, cold and unapproachable.
If it wasn't for the master returning to his flirtatious appearance with a three-point smile before saying a word the next day, he would have thought that the master who came back that night had been dumped.
But how can these be explained to outsiders?
King Ning couldn't offend him, so he could only say expressionlessly, "Never."
After all, he quickly followed his master.
"I haven't finished my question yet! Xiao Mutou, stop for me, stop!"
Ji Yunfei raised her foot to catch up.
The soldier who held the umbrella for him, and a group of officials had to hurriedly follow, fearing that this precious little prince might make a mistake.
The common people had nothing to watch and couldn't go down the mountain, so they had to walk up the mountain in twos and threes.
Ji Yunfei took a few quick steps and caught up with Xiao Zishu.
Putting a hand on Xiao Zishu's shoulder from behind, "Xiao Mutou, this king ordered you to stop, tell this king—"
Suddenly, the ground shook under his feet.
"What happened?"
"Why do I feel like the mountain is shaking?"
"It doesn't seem like it! I feel it too! This mountain is really shaking!"
"The mountain is shaking, the mountain is shaking!"
The people panicked and shouted.
Ji Yunfei frowned upon hearing this.
This mountain shakes it, what is it called?
Strange……
It's frustrating.
The mountain became more and more swaying, and it was difficult for Ji Yunfei to stand up.
Suddenly, he stepped on the ground and was about to fall down the mountain.
"wood!"
"My lord!"
"My lord, be careful!"
The crowd exclaimed.
Hearing the little prince's voice, Xiao Zishu turned his head suddenly. Seeing this dangerous situation, his eyes became serious, and he reached out to grab the belt behind Ji Yunfei's back, and with a strong lift of his arm, he brought him back.
Ji Yunfei was still in shock, he repeatedly slapped his chest, "Scared, scared me to death."
Hearing this, Xiao Zishu glanced at the young prince and thought, are you ever afraid?
Suddenly, the waist was hugged.
"what are you doing?"
Because I was so surprised, I even forgot my honorific name.
"What are you doing? What is it called? The mountain is still shaking, how can I go? We are both men, why are you being so coy? Hurry up and escort me up the mountain safely!"
To put it bluntly, Ji Yunfei was still terrified by the almost falling off the mountain just now, so she had to hug Xiao Zishu tightly to be at ease.
The mountain was still shaking, Xiao Zishu really didn't dare to let go, so he had to go up the mountain step by step with a body part like King Ning hanging on his body.
"Boom--"
"Long!"
First there were several muffled thunderclaps in the sky.
Xie Jinbai raised his head and looked towards the sky, "Cover your ears."
"What, what?"
Because it was still thundering, Tang Xiaotang didn't hear what Xie Jinbai said just now.
"That's too late."
Tang Xiaotang heard this sentence clearly.
But even if he heard clearly this time, he was still at a loss.
What, why is it too late?
Before Tang Xiaotang could react, suddenly, a deafening thunder exploded in his ears.
The thunderbolt was missing, and the mountains collapsed.
The sound was so loud that it seemed to split the whole world.
The mountain shook even more violently.
Tang Xiaotang was so frightened that his whole body trembled, his hands around Xie Jinbai's neck unconsciously tightened, and he buried his face deeply in his arms.
"God! The thunder just now was too scary!"
Ji Yunfei patted her chest in shock.
The timid people were frightened and called their father and mother.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Quick! Quick! Look down the mountain!"
Everyone looked down in shock again, only to see that the seemingly impregnable dam on the Chizhang River had burst at some point.
The river flowed backwards, galloping like a giant roaring water dragon, quickly engulfing the houses, streets, and even the entire Chun'an City near the Chizhang River.
But in the blink of an eye, Chun'an City was plunged into a turbid river.
no one on the mountain
