The gentle breeze makes people feel refreshed all over.
Han Qing was riding on a big black horse, with Wang Wu, Zhang Fan and Liu Hong following closely behind him like shadows. Behind him, more than 80 veterans of the Zhenrong Army and more than 50 Zhao Yuan were brought into the army.
The carriage soldiers protected the five carriages airtight.
With such a large team, even the bandits who dominate the mountain are not willing to easily come and provoke them. However, not long after the carriage left Weizhou, hundreds of people rushed over on the official road ahead, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of people rushed towards it.
, the entire road was blocked.
"Alert—" Wu You shuddered in his heart and decisively raised his voice to give the order.
The carriage suddenly stopped, and the veterans of the Zhenrong Army drew their swords in their hands and quickly formed an array. Brothers Yuan Kun and Yuan Bao led the soldiers to quickly catch up to the front of the team, directly in front of Han Qing and on the left and right.
On the side, three human walls were built.
Han Qing not only wiped out the Chunyang Sect on Jingdong East Road, but also uprooted the two most powerful families on Jingdong East Road, the Yan family and the Yang family, by tracing the real culprit in Zhang Wengong's assassination case.
And no matter whether it is the Chunyang Sect or the Yan and Yang families, it is impossible for any remnant to slip through the net. Especially for the former, its leader is still missing, and many of the backbones of the sect are hiding incognito.
If these forces hear that Han Qing is about to return to Bianliang, gather a group of remnants, and set up an ambush along the way, a bloody battle will be inevitable.
"Everyone, don't be too nervous. Wang Wu, go to the front and see who he is. This place is only thirty or forty miles away from Qingzhou. Unless the thief is desperate, he will lead his troops to intercept me openly here." Among this team.
, the only person who was not nervous was Han Qing himself. He was seen building the awning first and looked forward a few times, and then quickly gave instructions.
"Yes, punishment!" Seeing Han Qing's composure, Wang Wu's pounding heart immediately soothed a lot. He agreed and rode towards the team blocking the road more than 200 paces ahead.
Only halfway through the rush, the thundering sound of drums could be heard in the air, "dong dong dong dong, dong dong dong..." The beating made people's blood boil.
Immediately afterwards, there was another burst of suona, "tick tock, tick tock...", cheerful and crisp, reaching into the sky.
Wang Wu was considered a veteran of the army and he immediately judged from the sound of drums and suonas that the group in front were not bandits and did not contain any hostility. Looking again, he saw that the group was slowly separating.
, several gray-haired old men, supported by their children and grandchildren, walked out tremblingly holding wooden trays.
"May I ask the military master, is there a Han Ti prison driver in front of you?" Next to the old man, there was a middle-aged man dressed as an official, who raised his hands and greeted Wang Wu loudly.
"Exactly, why are you blocking the way?" Wang Wu was confused by the question. He quickly reined in the reins and responded with a frown.
The official immediately looked behind Wang Wu, clasped his fists with his hands, and bowed his head to the ground, "Master Jun, I, the people of the twenty-eight villages in Changle, heard that Mr. Han was going back to Bianliang, so I specially prepared a small amount of wine to strengthen Mr. Han's trip.
Se. I wish Duke Han that he will be promoted step by step, and I will be honored by the Prime Minister and be granted the title of Marquis!"
"I wish Mr. Han a good promotion, and I wish you the honor of becoming a marquis!" A group of old men, leading more than two hundred villagers, repeated loudly. Although the voices were not neat, their true feelings were clear.
"This, this..." Wang Wu had never seen such a battle since he was a child, and he suddenly blushed and was at a loss.
The middle-aged official, who was also forced by his family elders for the first time, led the villagers to see off a senior official. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and added stammeringly, "I would like to ask the military master to do it for me."
Wait, report to Mr. Han. Although my place in Changle is a poor and remote place, the people have a conscience. Among the children that Mr. Han saved at the beginning, fifty-three are the children and grandchildren of my Changle people. I heard that Mr. Han has been promoted.
I specially prepared a cloth umbrella to wish him a smooth road ahead. A pair of boots to wish him a smooth career from now on!"
"I wish Han Gong a smooth and smooth road ahead!" A few old men took the lead, and the people shouted again. It was still not very neat, but Wang Wu's heart felt hot when he heard it.
"I remember, I remember, he is the general next to Han Tixing, the king of the capital. On the island, it was the small dark room he opened with his own hands that saved us." A young man suddenly jumped up,
Pointing at Wang Wu, he shouted with a trembling voice.
Although his actions were impolite, his gratitude was genuine. Immediately, a middle-aged man and woman next to the boy knelt down on the ground and saluted Wang Wu, "Thank you, General Wang, for saving my family. Little man."
I wish you good luck, and you and your wife will kowtow to General Wang."
"General Wang, little Li Shu..."
"General Wang, thank you for saving my daughter."
"General Wang, I wish you a high official position and a good horse to ride..."
"Wang Duju, you are a living Bodhisattva. You will definitely be able to become a general and a marquis in this life..."
…
Seventy-eight pairs of middle-aged men and women also recognized Wang Wu. They pulled the children to their knees and kowtowed to Wang Wu to thank him.
"I, my family is only in their early twenties, no, not an old man! I, I am not a general." In an instant, Wang Wu's heart seemed to be on fire, he murmured in response, and quickly turned his mount, "You guys, just a moment
Wait, I'm going to report. Stop shouting. My family is far away from where the punishment is due. If you shout now, he won't be able to hear you.'
After that, he pinched the horse's belly hard and "escaped" towards his own team as if he had suffered a defeat. After only a dozen steps, tears flowed down his face uncontrollably.
Counting from the day he entered Jinniu Village as an archer, he can be said to be an old man in the officialdom. He has seen people curse officials in private and cut off their children and grandchildren. He has seen people rejoice over the downfall of a certain official and even buy firecrackers and set them off in the street. However,
The grand scene of officials leaving their posts and the people taking the initiative to block the road to see them off has only been heard in dramas before. Before today, I had never had the opportunity to see it with my own eyes.
And he himself was among those being blocked by the common people today. He was also treated as a benefactor by many people with the Bai surname to pay homage to him.
'You must be a high-ranking official, ride a horse, be a general and a marquis, a living Bodhisattva...' Wang Wu assured that this was the most flattering flattery he had ever heard in half his life.
But what he did was just a small official's job, to snatch the children who had been kidnapped by the traffickers and return them to their families!
"Brother Wang, what's going on on the other side?"
"Brother Wang, Brother Wang, why are you crying?"
Suddenly, two concerned greetings came from the front, but it was Zhang Fan and Liu Hong. They were worried that Wang Wu would go exploring alone, so they came over to greet them.
"Wanmin, Wanmin Umbrella, Qingyun Boots!" Wang Wu raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and responded in a hoarse voice, his voice broken with excitement, "Wanmin Umbrella, they prepared Wanmin Umbrella and Qingyun Boots for our inspection.
.They still remember that we went to Furong Island and rescued those children. They called me General Wang and said that I was a living Bodhisattva. I, I didn’t expect it. I really never dreamed of it. How could I be so virtuous and capable? How dare I
To receive such honor, for once in my life, it is worth dying for me."
