After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 395 He Comes Back

Su Miaozhen's hands were cold, and when she said this, her whole body was trembling.

Yao Shouning knew the seriousness of the matter from her reaction, so she suppressed her uneasiness and nodded:

"We will tell my grandfather about this when we go back later, so that he can prepare in advance."

Yao Wanning also said:
"Why don't we go back immediately."

She didn't want to leave Shendu City in the first place, but now that the city gate is sealed, it is also her destiny.

Yao Shouning was about to speak when suddenly there was a knocking sound outside, and then Yao Ruoyun's voice sounded:

"Wanning, Shouning, cousin, are you alright?"

When he asked, there was guilt and anxiety in his tone.

Before leaving, the grandfather handed over the three girls in the family to him, and he promised to protect the safety of the three younger sisters.

But they didn't know that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and they encountered these things when they were about to leave the city, which surprised the three of them.

Yao Ruoyun thought to herself at the time: The three girls were of the same age, and they were going to part soon, so they deliberately didn't arrange for anyone to get on the carriage, just to make room for the three younger sisters and let them say goodbye.

He also arranged for the seasoned and prudent Zheng Shi to drive the car, which made it even more foolproof. Unexpectedly, the accident that happened later disrupted his rhythm, and on the contrary, the three of them were almost in danger.

The guilt in his heart can be imagined.

"fine."

Yao Shouning responded, opened the window closed by Cheng Fuyun again, and poked his head out:

"The two sisters are fine, brother, how about you?"

"I'm fine—" He shook his head, seeing his sister sticking his head out, remembering the previous crisis, and nervously trying to block her:
"Shouning, don't come out, it's very chaotic outside, and now..."

"At this point, let's go back first."

It is impossible to go, Yao Wanning is destined to face the "River God".

Yao Ruoyun was very depressed, and responded in a low voice, and said:

"But, but these people..."

There are still many refugees around, but at this time, due to the evil name of Zhenmensi, they dare not move without authorization.

But when they saw the three carriages of Yao's family, they already had malicious intentions, and it was very likely that they would turn back and be surrounded by refugees.

Recently, the number of crimes committed by refugees has gradually increased. From the beginning of looting houses, they gradually became bolder, and there are even precedents of attacking large households.

The court was understaffed.

Emperor Shenqi's mind was no longer on maintaining law and order, but on fighting for power.

Even if the emperor is like this, the people below don't care about the lives of ordinary people. When the report is reported, the pressure will be lowered, and the officials of the Yamen are tired, so they assign the matter to the servants. Civilians, or randomly arresting people and committing crimes.

As a result, the chaos became cloudy, and no one was willing to actually handle the case. After the victims succeeded, seeing that the court was loose, they became more daring.

This is also a very headache for Yao Hui recently.

He looks lazy on the surface, but in fact he has his own principles in his heart, so he has been very busy recently. With Liu Bingzhou in charge at home, he simply handles the case with peace of mind. He didn't come to see his children out of the city today. Who would have expected such troubles to occur.

Now that the Yao family and his party have been targeted by refugees, if there is no escort, these people will be like extremely hungry hyenas, and I am afraid they will not disperse easily.

Thinking of this, Yao Ruoyun felt very headache, and said hesitantly:
"Why don't we send someone to send a letter to Dad first, and ask him to call some people over."

If it's just Yao Ruoyun and others being trapped, it's fine, losing some money is better than losing people.

But Yao Shouning, Yao Wanning and Su Miaozhen were also there, and Yao Shouning showed her face. She was beautiful and had already attracted the attention of these people, so Yao Ruoyun didn't dare to take risks.

Yao Shouning shook his head:
"Father is so busy that he may not be in the messenger office."

Even if there are people in the yamen, there are not enough manpower in the army and horses in the north of the city, even if Yao Hui can spare some manpower - Yao Shouning glanced around and saw the refugees around him staring at him.

These people have nothing, they are extremely ferocious, like extremely hungry beasts, I am afraid they will not withdraw their hands without seeing blood.

"Even if all the soldiers and horses from Beicheng come, it may not be a big deal."

She said:
"Let's wait here for a while." Seeing Yao Ruoyun's ashamed and disturbed expression, she waved to him.

Yao Ruoyun came over with his ear, and Yao Shouning said:
"I feel that there is no danger today. We will meet a savior. Brother, don't worry, it's really not possible. Let's wait for grandpa. As long as grandpa is here, there will be no major problems."

Her expression was calm and her tone was calm. At such a critical moment, Yao Ruoyun's extremely anxious heart was greatly relieved.

"Yeah." Yao Ruoyun breathed a sigh of relief as if she had found the backbone, but said regretfully:

"Next time, I will study hard and work harder. In the future, I hope to cultivate righteousness and protect you like my grandfather!"

He once again regretted that he was 'not working hard enough', so that he was powerless in the face of danger, and instead relied on his sister to comfort him.

When Yao Ruoyun was ashamed, Yao Shouning heard what he said, but a scene flashed in front of his eyes: Yao Ruoyun faced the evil spirits, raised one palm, and held a pen in one hand, writing quickly, as if shouting something.

The screen flashed by.

The future scene she captured disappeared, and Yao Ruoyun's dejected face appeared in front of her.

Yao Shouning pursed his lips and smiled:

"Brother, don't worry, you will succeed!"

Her words lifted Yao Ruoyun's spirit.Everyone in the Yao family knows Yao Shouning's extraordinary character. She said she must do what she said, and what she said would definitely come true.

Yao Ruoyun's eyes shone brightly, and she became excited all at once:
"Really?"

"Well! You will succeed, you will realize the essence of Confucianism and Taoism, and cultivate a noble spirit. You have Zhang Zuzu's Confucianism and Taoism to help you. One day, you will become a true Confucian scholar like your grandfather."

She nodded and spoke words of encouragement.

The more Yao Shouning said, the more brilliance in Yao Ruoyun's eyes became brighter, and his hesitant heart seemed to have finally found the direction of the goal, and he suddenly became at ease.

The encouragement of his sister is an endless motivation for him.

Although Yao Shouning already knew that her words had a certain power, she still underestimated herself.

The moment her voice fell, the previous scene reappeared in front of her eyes: Yao Ruoyun still had a demon in front of her, and he still maintained the action of writing a book in his palm, but a milky white brilliance appeared on the tip of his pen ——This is Yao Ruoyun who has truly awakened the power of Confucianism and Taoism.

"Brother—" she yelled out.

Yao Ruoyun's eyes were full of firmness, she clenched her fist and said:
"Shou Ning, I will definitely work hard, I will work harder!"

The illusion in front of him didn't disappear, Yao Ruoyun used the awe-inspiring righteousness as a hammer to suppress and smash the evil spirits in front of him.

The picture gradually disappeared, and Yao Ruojun in the phantom gradually merged with the person in front of him.

Yao Shouning looked at his elder brother in a daze, as if he had figured out something.

While the siblings were talking, Cheng Fuyun and others in the distance had already stood in front of the bulletin board.

As she had predicted, Cheng Fuyun asked someone to post a list, which emphasized four major events:

One: Emperor Shenqi was going to release the demonized person he had captured before, so that he could go home immediately.

Second: Coexist with evil spirits and set aside areas for evil spirits to live in.

The third: open the market of demons and evil spirits, and practice communication between humans and demons.

The last one is to arrest Chen Taiwei and arrest Taoist priests.

As soon as these four notices were issued, even the refugees around who didn't pay attention to the important affairs of the court were stunned.

Except for the first announcement, each of the following three court regulations caught people off guard.

During the 700 years under the rule of Daqing, except for the first hundred years or so, in the following time, the shadow of evil spirits has long since disappeared from the lives of ordinary people.

Most of the harm to monsters exists in the storybooks and history, and even later, many people, like Liu Shi back then, believed that monsters were just rumored existences.

What really made everyone realize that there are monsters was after Liu Bingzhou entered the city to manifest his holiness last year, and when the blood mosquito gu appeared in the world earlier, and when the gate of the border appeared.

Everyone knew that monsters really existed. Before many people could digest all this while trembling with fear, Emperor Shenqi actually issued a notice expressing his willingness to coexist with monsters.

In front of the bulletin board, everyone gathered around, and the people from Zhenmensi were explaining to everyone:
"Everyone, don't worry, the emperor has his own consideration when doing things."

"The rumors 700 years ago are just bluffs. If monsters are really so scary, how can humans fight against them?"

"The emperor's plan to coexist with the demon is also for the sake of the people of the world."

"Evil spirits are also life, and high-level monsters are also rational and can communicate with people."

"The opening of the market is also for the people of the world. We can trade with people, why can't we trade with demons?"

"You can buy or sell anything..."

"What? Chen Taiwei? This is just a traitor!"

"The emperor treated him with all kinds of courtesy, but this man was born rebellious, and he had a heart of disobedience for a long time, so he was not good for the emperor. Fortunately, he was rescued by the soldiers of the monster clan..."

……

Everyone gathered in front of the bulletin board to discuss, and Yao Ruoyun was very indignant when he heard this:
"Bullshit."

"The evil spirits do great harm. He is clearly insane. He only cares about his own selfishness and takes the lives of the world as a trifle." Yao Ruoyun cursed with a sullen face.

"And obviously it was his grandfather who saved his life." Su Miaozhen also answered in a low voice.

While talking, Yao Shouning's eyes lit up:
"coming."

"What?" Yao Wanning was taken aback for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, the ground 'boomed', and there was a trembling sound, clearly a large group of horses entered the city.

The movement here attracted the attention of everyone in front of the bulletin board, and the attention of Cheng Fuyun, who was holding the imperial decree and read it out in front of the bulletin board.

For some reason, he subconsciously looked in the direction of Yao's family, and then shouted loudly:

"The emperor has an order to close the city gate!"

He had already foreseen something bad, but it was still a step too late.

The city gate weighed over a thousand catties, and it was very difficult for several people to push it. How could it be closed in such a hurry?

Several soldiers pushed the city gate to close with difficulty, and a moment later, a group of black knights appeared in everyone's sight, and the leader held up a token and shouted:
"People from Dingguo Shenwu General's Mansion are not allowed to close the door!"

"Dingguo Shenwu General's Mansion?" Cheng Fuyun's expression darkened.

On the contrary, the members of the Yao family breathed a sigh of relief, and Yao Ruoyun was pleasantly surprised:

"Dingguo Shenwu General's Mansion?"

"Finally out of trouble." Yao Wanning also sighed.

Cheng Fuyun became anxious and shouted:
"close the door--"

As soon as he finished speaking, the people outside also heard the movement, and the horse team speeded up and reached under the city gate in an instant.

Before the door was closed, the soldiers who stayed behind saw the menacing black armor of the general's mansion, trembling in the ground, and felt timid if they dared to stop them.

Cheng Fuyun hurriedly shouted:

"Move the spikes and stop them—"

But it was too late, everyone was like headless chickens, and before they had time to move the stakes after hearing his words, the leader of the group, Hei Jia, had already arrived.

A small group of people rushed into the city, and the crooked wooden stakes were knocked away by the huge momentum. The first to enter the city flew off their horses, and pushed the closed gate back a little, so that the people who came later could enter the city.

There were about 50 or [-] people in this team, each of them was wearing black armor, surrounded by Lu Zhi who was in black clothes, and slowly entered the city.

Behind Shizi, several horses were pulling a cart, on which was tied an extremely large coffin.

The whole body of the coffin was pitch black, emitting bursts of cold air. Lu Zhi, who hadn't seen him for several months, rode on the side of the coffin, his expression condensed.

"Black iron wooden coffin! Mother is saved."

The moment Yao Shouning saw the coffin, his eyes turned hot and he let out a gasp.

After Liu was seriously injured, she had been waiting for the coffin to save her life.

The return of the eldest son not only solved the danger of Yao Shouning and others, but also brought her a glimmer of life.

The stone in Yao Shouning's heart fell to the ground, and only then did he have the time to look at the son.

"The prince seems to have lost weight—" she sighed inwardly.

Lu Zhi's cheeks were originally narrow and thin, but now they are smaller than a few months ago.

He wore a simple black samurai robe, perhaps because of the rush, and the weather was hot, so he only put on a moon white singlet.

The placket was slanted open, exposing the thin and straight collarbone, and the boy's shoulders pushed up the thin clothes.

Lu Zhi was in a bad mood right now, his long and delicate eyebrows were frowned, and his lips were tightly pursed:

"Who allowed you to close the door?"

He rode his horse around the wooden post blocking the road twice, and asked a question with a whip in his hand.

"The emperor has a decree—"

Someone murmured in response.

When Cheng Fuyun saw Lu Zhi, he subconsciously looked in the direction of Yao's carriage.

He also remembered the case last year, it happened that Lu Zhi went to the city and saved the Liu family.

From the looks of it, the eldest son of Dingguo Shenwu General's Mansion and the second lady of the Yao family were indeed destined to meet by chance in today's situation.

"My son, my son!"

When Yao Shouning saw Lu Zhi, he immediately called out to him.

Lu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and vaguely felt that he had an auditory hallucination.

He had been away for a long time, and after the accident happened in the Yao family that day, he immediately took orders to go to the capital, wholeheartedly trying to find enough Xuanyin wood as soon as possible to make a coffin to save Liu's life.

Yao Shouning's teary eyes at that time came to his mind. After collecting the materials and the moment the coffin was made, he rushed to Shangjing without stopping.

He didn't dare to rest much along the way. Fortunately, the pioneers sent out in advance had prepared horses at the various post stations, which made him return earlier than originally estimated.

She thought that after returning to the city as soon as possible, she would be able to see Yao Shouning and make her feel at ease, but she didn't expect that when she entered the city, she would be stopped by the soldiers guarding the gate.

What was even more frightening was that he seemed to have auditory hallucinations because of his desire to return home, and he actually heard Yao Shouning's voice calling him.
