498 A tough battle ahead

Zhao Yuanji's eyes darkened, and he tightened his fingers to hold the information registration form tightly.

Gritting his teeth, he said: "Xu Youniang, it is indeed you!"

Not knowing what he was thinking of, Zhao Yuanji flipped back through the previous registration forms and his eyes fell on the two child registration forms. The more he looked at them, the more he felt something was wrong.

"The goddess came to her dream to give birth to her son. Could these two be the young masters of the temple?" Zhao Yuanji raised his eyebrows in disbelief. He recalled the behavior of Xu Yue's family and became more and more sure of his guess.

He didn't believe it at all that a goddess came into a dream to give birth to a child.

Xu Erniang has many mysterious methods, but he has been with her for so long and has never seen her conjure anything out of thin air.

Dreaming?

She told him that she meditates every day and never dreams at all!

These two young masters of the temple were either picked up by the Xu family, or they were her and others...

The two messenger soldiers suddenly felt a chill running down their spines. The young emperor standing in front of them was breathing significantly heavier, as if he was suppressing some negative emotion.

Also, who can remain calm about such a big thing as the miners' riot?

It is perfectly normal for Your Majesty to be angry.

Gongsun Zan hurried over and learned about the riot. He was angry at first, and then fell into a long silence.

It was Zhao Yuanji who ordered to send troops to Jizhou to support him, and issued a hunt order for Xu Yue and the two sons of gods. Anyone who could take Xu Yue's head would receive a reward of ten thousand liang!

He also asked Bohai County to send troops to Yuyang to see if the Jizhou riot could be suspended due to the loss of central command.

After Zhao Yuanji'an arranged the countermeasures, Gongsun Zan woke up from the silence and said:

"Your Majesty, these rioting miners are definitely not simple. We need to send someone down to investigate them carefully."

Zhao Yuanji nodded to express that he understood, and then paid businesslike attention to Gongsun Zan's health.

Gongsun Zan sneered and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am very good. You can rest assured."

However, the quick-acting Jiuxin Pills that Zhao Yuanji brought back were almost finished, and the next bottle could only be obtained from Youzhou.

Gongsun Zan often lamented that God was unfair to him, giving him high spirits in the first half of his life, but then dealt him a heavy blow just when he thought he was about to reach the top.

At this point, life took a turn for the worse, and it seemed that all the ambitions would stop there and never get closer.

It's just that if this is really the case, he won't be reconciled.

Rather than hiding in the North Palace and dying of illness, it is better to put on armor again and go into battle, use up the last drop of blood, and die on the battlefield!

"Go and get my knife!"

In the empty hall, Gongsun Zan's orders rang out,

The palace maids and servants looked at each other in surprise and hurriedly carried up the general's weapons.

Gongsun Zan pulled off the wind-proof cloak on his shoulders and picked up the long knife. At first it felt a little heavy, but then he gritted his teeth and persisted, and slowly started swinging it.

After that day, Gongsun Zan began to eat all kinds of supplementary foods and practiced sword practice for two hours every morning and evening, never stopping whether it was windy or raining.

Because he knew that there was still a tough battle waiting for him ahead.

And the opponent is the woman he once admired so much that she forced him to put down his identity and pay a visit to Xujiazhuang - Wang Pingping!

...

As the drizzle falls, the villagers, wearing coir raincoats and bamboo hats, are bending down in the fields to catch up with the spring rain and sow seeds.

What is grown is spring wheat, which is used to make the kingfisher’s favorite wheat cake.

Thinking that grandma can make a meal of wheat cakes during the harvest in autumn, the kingfisher is full of energy.

The troupe of Xu Yue and others also stayed in the village for five or six days. It rained for two days and could not perform for the villagers, so they went to the fields to plant wheat with the farmers.

This small mountain village is located in a remote place, far from the official road, and has little information. There are not many outsiders coming all year round.

The villagers were initially very repulsive towards outsiders.

But Xu Yue and others were hard-working and enthusiastic, so they always took the initiative to help with the work and performed for the villagers for free.

The simple villagers didn't know how to refuse, and because they accepted the kindness of others, they could no longer drive them out.

Therefore, even if the villagers had guessed that these people might be Xu Jiajun or came to the village to escape pursuit, they all remained silent.

News of the miners' riot outside was brought back by an old man who went to the city to sell firewood, and the originally quiet little village suddenly exploded.

"Which mine is rioting? How many mines are rioting? Will the child's father come back?"

Kingfisher's mother was planting wheat in the field a moment ago. When she heard the news about the miners' riot, she immediately ran back from the field and caught the old firewood seller and asked anxiously.

Xu Yue and Xu Dalang, who went to the fields with the Kingfisher family, looked at each other, picked up the brother and sister Xu Dongbei who were playing in the mud beside the field, and followed them to the foot of the big tree at the entrance of the village.

The villagers have surrounded the place tightly. Xu Yue and Xu Dalang can only stand on the big rock at the entrance of the village to see clearly what is happening under the big tree.

The old firewood seller was not very clear about what happened. He said: "I was going to the city yesterday to sell firewood. Before I entered the city, I saw the officials arresting people at the city gate, especially the brothers from the Huokang Gang. They were arrested as soon as they showed up.

Stay!"

"Why? Why did you arrest the brothers from the Huokang Gang?" Wang's grandfather asked nervously.

He has always been proud of his grandson, who is a direct disciple of three generations of the Huokang Clan. The whole village is envious of his family. Why is he suddenly being arrested by the officials?

The grandfather of the Wang family searched around and found Wang Er's figure, and hurriedly held him tightly, fearing that his grandson would be taken away by the officials accidentally.

The old firewood seller explained: "I heard from the officials that the reason why the miners rioted was instigated by the people from the Huokang Gang, so we wanted to arrest them."

"What about the miners in the mines?"

Kingfisher's mother said anxiously: "The child's father went out to work a month ago and was taken to the mine by a gang of sub-officers to work as a coolie. Our mothers still don't know whether he is dead or alive, and we don't know how to escape.

Is there any more!”

Kingfisher's mother grabbed the old firewood seller's arm and asked:

"Uncle, have you ever seen the miners arrested by the officials?"

The old man looked embarrassed, "I saw the officers arresting people outside the city from a distance, so I didn't dare to enter the city. I threw a cart full of firewood outside the city, giving the officers an advantage in vain. I was afraid that if I couldn't run fast with the firewood, I would be killed by them.

Catch them and charge them up."

"Everyone knows the behavior of those officials. It would be great if I could come back. How dare I go and see who they have arrested."

As he spoke, he saw Kingfisher Girl was so anxious that she was about to cry, and several men in the village who had been taken away were also crying out loud. The old man hurriedly reassured her:

"But don't worry too much. Let's think on the bright side. The miners are rioting. The man who was captured in our village might be able to escape during the chaos. Let's wait a few days and Kingfisher's father may come back on his own.

?”

Hearing what the old man said, Kingfisher's eyes shone brightly, she looked at the other women in the village who had lost their men, got up and ran towards the path leading to the official road.

She thought that if the child's father came back, he would be able to see him at a glance.
