Chapter 129 Ming Yuan, has it ever really been Ming Yuan (Part 2)
A pot of tea and some fruit is all Chaitino's hospitality is. Shopkeeper Mu Ying took a sip from the porcelain bowl. The hot tea with a slight medicinal aroma went straight into the heart, and the original heat was completely dissipated. It was magical.
"Mr. Da, you are sick, why, what?"
The second shopkeeper hesitated for a long time and muttered that Chaitino looked good now, but his hair and beard were much whiter than three months ago, which made him feel sad for a moment.
Chaitino looked at him and smiled:
"Don't think too much. It's just that you have figured out some things, understood some truths, and obeyed God's will. That's it."
"...If you know a lot and behave like this, it's better than being stupid."
The second shopkeeper grinned. Chai Tiannuo poured tea with him and said with a smile:
"But everyone has their own requirements. For me, if you hear the truth in the morning and die in the evening, that's the best."
"But unlike you, it would be nice to live a stable and long-term life, especially if my boss is pregnant, so old age is very attractive."
"Mr. Big, is it true?!"
The second shopkeeper looked at Mu Ying with surprise on his face. Mu Ying blinked and said slightly hesitantly:
"How many days late is my period, Mr. Da? I am indeed pregnant?"
Chaitino smiles again:
"In terms of medical skills, I can be considered a miraculous doctor. I will make some decoctions for you later. The medicinal materials produced in Taohua Mountain have extraordinary effects, but I have never thought of them before."
After saying that, he pointed to the tea cup, which was the medicinal tea prepared in his spare time.
The couple held hands, their faces full of surprise. For their age, having descendants to inherit the family is a great event.
Looking at the somewhat excited two people, Chai Tiannuo warned:
"Now is no better than in the past,
My boss has to settle down when he returns this time, and don’t follow the caravan all over the place anymore. If something happens, it will be too late to regret."
The second shopkeeper looked at his wife, he couldn't make the decision on such a matter. Mu Ying thought for a long time and nodded seriously. As a mother, you should be strong. Since you are pregnant, you can give up everything!
After returning that day, the affairs of the caravan were handed over to several stewards. Mu Ying and Yao Erlang settled in Tingdu. Within a hundred days, they went to Peach Blossom Mountain to ask Chai Tiannuo to name him.
Seeing his father, Chai Tiannuo, who came with him, he smiled happily. There were pains in the past, but family ties are still there after all. Letting go of the past and choosing to forgive will be a salvation for yourself and others.
"It's called Yao Yuanhui. One Yuan begins again and meets again in the end."
Time flies, five years have passed in a blink of an eye, and everyone is wondering, where has the saint gone?
He only returned briefly a few years ago for more than ten days and traveled again. Although people kept witnessing him, pilgrims could tell that most of them were false.
A great scholar lamented that the sage is like a hidden dragon, leaping across the vastness of the sky and the earth, and ordinary people cannot see him.
It was noon in March in Yangchun, and a group of people were running quickly on a mountain path overgrown with weeds.
At the head is a fifth-grade official wearing white trousers. He looks like he is at the peak of his life in his thirties.
The person supporting him was a rare young master, followed by seven guards holding waist knives. The faces of the group were full of fear, and they turned around and looked back from time to time, obviously they were in trouble.
The nine people ran for their lives along the narrow road to the halfway point of the mountain. When they couldn't hold on any longer, they sat under a tree and gasped for air.
"I really didn't expect that the administration of officials in our court would be so bad. I would dare to ram a boat and intercept him before he even appeared in court for a hundred miles. Is this the king's law? Is this the law of heaven?
!”
Tao Mingyuan, the fifth-ranking doctor of Sizheng, the official of the Shang Dynasty, beat his leg hard and said bitterly.
Since the late emperor passed away due to illness and the new emperor succeeded to the throne, the administration of the Shang Dynasty has been extremely bad in the past two years. Corrupt officials took advantage of the new emperor's young age and shallow foundation, and treated his subordinates as his own vegetable garden, trying to make money.
In just two years, the Shang Kingdom, which was originally peaceful and peaceful for the people, was in chaos. Countless people who could not survive flocked to Tingdu. The empress dowager couldn't bear it anymore and sent twenty-four imperial envoys to conduct a major examination with officials from across the country.
Those who meet the criteria will remain in office, and those who fail will be removed immediately!
At that time, the Minister of Civil Affairs said that the civil service in the world had collapsed, and everyone did not respect the imperial court and was almost independent. Acting like this would probably cause great disaster.
The empress dowager refused to listen and insisted on doing this. The Minister of War advised that two battalions of Yu Lin should be sent to guard each route, but the important officials in the court laughed.
No matter what, the world belongs to the human emperor, so I don’t believe that those greedy people dare to act like this!
At that time, Tao Mingyuan also felt that the Minister of War was a little too cautious. Although he was a junior official, he was deeply trusted by the Empress Dowager. After all, he was a student of the current saint. He and Shilin were also famous third sons of Haoran. There were no less than thousands of Haoran's sects in the central court.
Although I knew from my colleagues who were local officials that the situation in Shang Country was dangerous, I still didn’t believe that those greedy people dared to act like this!
The three imperial envoys went down the river together. The official ship was only a hundred miles away when a heavy ship loaded with sand and gravel collided with it. Immediately after, countless men in black jumped off. In less than half an hour, the other two imperial envoys did the same.
Ghost in the water.
Fortunately, the master was very capable, so he and a few guards fled ashore in an arrow boat. They wanted to return to the capital, but they were intercepted and killed by men in black all the way. They had to flee to the mountains, but they ended up here.
land.
"Xiao Shan, if you hadn't been by my side this time, my uncle would have died long ago. If I could return, I must thank Senior Brother Chen Shan and Senior Sister Wu Liang!"
Tao Mingyuan said with emotion.
The master's name is Chen Xiaoshan, and he is Chen Shan's nephew. As a fellow student, Tao Mingyuan knows his origin, and he is just like Chen Shan.
At first, Chen Shan was a little reluctant to ask Chen Xiaoshan to follow Tao Mingyuan because of the unstable political situation. After all, the master didn't have a child of 17 or 18, so it was Pu Wuliang and a big slap on the back of his head that made him agree.
After all, Pu Wuliang is the eldest in the same sect, and he is also a high-ranking immortal family. The junior brothers are really frightened, and only junior sister Nuonuo can control them. The others are just soft noodles in front of her, and she can rub them as much as she wants.
.
But after what happened in the past two days, Tao Mingyuan was so grateful that he couldn't describe it. After all, it was his senior sister who had thought carefully. After all, his hundreds of years of life were not in vain.
Chen Xiaoshan smiled shyly, then said seriously:
"Uncle Master, we still have to try to go to Tingdu, but none of the officials here dare to believe it. The two county and government offices along the way are all their people, and even the magicians have appeared, and the imperial envoys from other ways have
, I’m afraid the end will be miserable.”
Tao Mingyuan frowned when he heard this and sighed:
"If a country has no general, we, the literati, hate not having the power to support the heavens. I feel guilty when I think about the old emperor and the empress dowager!"
"My lord, you must not be ashamed. Let's first think about how to get through the hurdle in front of us. If the ball is dead, no matter how much we think about it, it will be useless."
One of the guards said, Tao Mingyuan grinned and frowned. Looking at the situation in front of him, the men in black were unable to protect themselves and had taken control of the surrounding areas of the capital. There was no way they could go back.
Seeing his appearance, Chen Xiaoshan said softly:
"Uncle, no
Let's go back to the academy. With Aunt Nuonuo as powerful as the immortal family, and with my uncle and Aunt Wuliang, we can attack with thousands of troops and horses, and it won't even take an hour or three."
"But with one of them to protect us, it won't be difficult for us to return to the capital."
