I Just Won't Play By The Book

292 Reunion (2)

After Jiang Beiran had led all the villagers out of the Tao Manor, Tao Fengxue stepped forward and cupped his hands at Tao Yangbo.””Father, are we really going to let them go like this? This is the first time. What if there’s a next time? This emperor…”

“There’s no need to say more.” Tao Yangbo waved his hand,” This little Emperor is in the heat of the moment, so there’s no need for us to stick our heads out in front of him. I’ll inform Sect Master Tang about this matter later, and he’ll be the one to decide.””

Tao Fengxue felt that it made sense. It was normal for the Tao family to not be able to deal with such a troublesome person who had the support of the leaders of the black and white forces. Wouldn’t it be much easier for them to deal with this big trouble by throwing it to the Thunder Sound Sect?

“Father is wise!” Tao Fengxue said in admiration.

Outside the city, Jiang Beiran had already led the villagers out. Muyao stepped forward and whispered,””Emperor, that Tao Yangbo agreed to our request so easily. Doesn’t that mean that we can easily release the other victims?”

Glancing at him, Jiang Beiran replied,”” Tao Yangbo just doesn’t want to get himself into trouble. Once we leave, he will definitely go to the Thunder Sound Sect and tell them about this. If it happens once or twice, the Thunder Sound Sect might turn a blind eye to it. But if it happens too many times, a clay man will still have a third degree of anger, let alone a sect leader.”

“Then…What should we do in the future?”

Jiang Beiran smiled but did not reply. He continued to lead the villagers toward Xinhe Village.

Looking at Jiang Beiran’s back, Muyao somehow felt a sense of security. She felt that as long as she believed in this man, everything would be fine.

Along the way, the villagers didn’t dare to speak. It wasn’t until they had arrived at the village gate that Kong Ergou, who had been following Jiang Beiran, mustered up his courage and asked,””You…Did you really save us?”

“Aren’t you already home?” Jiang Beiran smiled.

At this moment, the other villagers who had been ashen gradually regained their vitality. No matter what happened next, at least they had a chance to see their families.

So they knelt down and said,”Thank you, Lord Qingtian!” Thank you, Master Qingtian!”

“Don’t kneel. Go back quickly. Your family is waiting for you.”

“Sigh! Thank you, First Master! Thank you, First Master!”

“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” After kowtowing three times, the villagers stood up and ran in the direction of the village at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, as if they had completely forgotten the pain on their bodies.

In Xinhe Village, a group of women were lighting the firewood they had gathered. They put their palms together and bowed three times to a sack beside the fire.

“May the emperor live a long and healthy life, and be blessed like the East Sea.”

After praying, a woman was about to take out some food from her sack when she heard a familiar voice coming from afar.

“Rongfang!”

The woman’s hand paused. She looked at the others and asked,”Did you hear anything?”

Just as the women were about to reply,” I didn’t hear you,” they heard a flurry of shouts.

Hongmei!!

“Cui Hua!”

As the shouts became clearer, the women stood up in unison and looked at each other in disbelief.

“It seems to be my man?” Cui Hua said in shock.

“It’s my man! This voice is my man! It couldn’t be wrong! Da Gang!”

” Red Shirt!!!”

In an instant, all the women shouted and went out of the village, tears of excitement flowing down their faces.

Finally, as the shouts got closer and closer, the two groups of people running towards each other finally saw each other clearly.

“Tie Zhu!” Cui Hua recognized her man immediately. She cried and threw herself into his arms. Her hands hugged him tightly 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 was walking slowly behind the villagers, was full of emotions as he watched the scene unfold.” People in troubled times are not as peaceful as dogs. In this age of extremely strict social classes, the common people have no way of living at all.’

When the joy of reunion faded, the sharp-eyed Hongmei pointed at Jiang Beiran and shouted,””Your Majesty! It was the emperor who saved our men!”

Following the direction that Hongmei was pointing at, the others also turned to look at Jiang Beiran.

The women knelt down and thanked him, while the men were dumbfounded.

‘Emperor? That lord is the emperor?

The most important official that many of them had ever seen in their lives was the village chief. How would they know what the Emperor was like? Now that they knew that the Emperor had saved them, they could not believe it. After all, they had always thought that the Emperor was far away. Why would he come here to save them?

The woman who knew them tugged at them and said,”Quickly kneel down and thank the Emperor.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving my life!”

“No need to thank me.”

However, the villagers continued to kowtow, especially Kong Ergou. He kept feeling that something was pressing his head down on the ground. It could be said that every kowtow was powerful.

“Your Majesty…I…My man isn’t back yet. Is he at the back?”

At this moment, a woman who was kneeling in front of Jiang Beiran asked.

“All the men in the village are here. Those who haven’t returned… It’s gone.”

The woman was stunned at first, then she burst into tears and said,”Da Mao! Why is your life so bitter! Da Mao!”

While the woman was crying, the farmer walked over slowly and rubbed the woman’s head.”Sigh, woman, I’m sorry. I couldn’t hold on and couldn’t come back to hug you. In the future, you and Ergou will be fine. Tell him to quickly find a wife and give birth to a big fat boy to continue the Kong family’s lineage. I will still be your man in my next life.”

He turned around and kowtowed to Jiang Beiran.””Emperor, can I ask you to help me with one more thing?”

“Tell me.” Jiang Beiran nodded.

“Please help me tell my wife that I have bought the red rouge I promised her and hid it behind the bedside table. I was taken away before I could tell her.”

“Alright, I promise you.”

After agreeing, Jiang Beiran walked up to the woman and relayed her husband’s words to her.

The woman looked at Jiang Beiran in surprise. When she saw Jiang Beiran make a gesture to keep quiet, she fell to the ground and started crying again.

“Emperor, I must have done many good deeds in my life to meet such a good person like you. I will definitely be your slave in my next life! Wait for me! I will definitely come!”

Jiang Beiran smiled and nodded.” Alright, I’ll wait for you.”
