Chapter 298 Walking out of the mountains

Liuhe Village is a small village, with only a dozen households in total.Next to the village is a river that winds deep into the mountains.

On this day, the peace of the small village was broken, and a group of people came.

Some of these people were wearing official uniforms, some were wearing ordinary clothes, and almost all were young and middle-aged people.

"Call your chief." Huang Cheng said with a cold face.

He was originally a smiling tiger, but after three days he still hadn't found the master and Mr. Xin, which made him completely lose his patience.

The villagers who were asked had never seen such a big scene before. They didn't even dare to say anything and went to find the village chief.

After a while, an old man who looked past his sixties came over.

"The little old man has met the big old man." The old man bowed to Huang Cheng and others.

Huang Cheng glanced at Liu Captou.

Liu Captou spoke with a local accent and revealed his identity: "We are here from the county government. Three days ago to rescue the people affected by the disaster, two adults accidentally fell down the hillside and may have fallen into the river and were washed here. You can save them. Who did you meet? Or what discovery was made? If there are any clues, I will be grateful."

"No." The chief said without hesitation.

"Ask the villagers."

The head of the village said cautiously: "We only have a dozen families, and the whole village will know whose hen has laid a new egg..."

Liu Captou looked at Huang Cheng.

Huang Cheng's face was gloomy and his heart was irritable.

Something is really wrong.

There is a river at the bottom of the hillside. There is no sign of the master or Mr. Xin at the bottom of the hillside. They must have followed the water to this side.But after searching for so long, I still can’t find anyone——

Huang Cheng didn't want to think about what happened next.

"If you find anything, you must report it to the county government." Liu Captou told the chief.

The head of the district hurriedly agreed, and after Huang Cheng and others left, he sent a young man with bright ideas to go to the county seat to inquire about the situation.

The people looking for Xin You and He Qingxiao were not only themselves and people from the government, but also young people from Shanghe Village and Xiahe Village who organized themselves.

Unlike being submissive to people in the government, when facing these people, he dared to ask questions.

"Who are you looking for? We are looking for the savior of our two villages!"

"If it weren't for Mr. Xin, we in Shanghe Village would have been washed away by the flood."

"Are you from Shanghe Village? I heard that there was a flash flood over there, and the whole village was flooded. How did you escape?"

"Thanks to Mr. Xin! That day, the county master resettled the people from Xiahe Village to our village. Mr. Xin asked us to evacuate immediately, saying that the flood was coming soon. We were unwilling to leave at first, but not far out, the flood was really serious. It’s coming!”

"How did Mr. Xin know that the flood was coming?"

"I'm telling you, don't spread it everywhere."

Everyone who listened nodded.

"Master Xin, he is the reincarnation of an immortal..."

The immortal reincarnated and saved the people from fire and water.This kind of bizarre story with a mysterious color is always talked about and spreads quickly.

The news of Xinyou's accident was reported to Emperor Xingyuan immediately.

Emperor Xingyuan was discussing disaster relief matters with his ministers. After receiving the news, he overturned the tea cup and let the tea wet the memorial.

"Has anyone been found yet?"

"Replying to Your Majesty, the message was not available when it was sent."

"How did He Qingxiao do things!" Emperor Xingyuan complained with a dark face and said no more.

The emergency report was reported, and He Qingxiao jumped down to save people at that time, what else could he say?
It’s just that the child was too kind-hearted and devoted himself to serving the people, but he put himself in danger.The matter could no longer be discussed. Emperor Xingyuan looked at several ministers with a sullen face and said solemnly: "I want to go south personally to see what is going on."

As soon as these words came out, several ministers knelt down one after another: "Your Majesty, you must not do this. There is a flood in the south, and you are rich in gold. How can you be involved in the danger?"

Seeing that they could not be persuaded, the ministers changed directions: "Your Majesty, there are floods in the south, friction on the northern border, disaster management in various places, and so many things in the DPRK and China, all of which cannot be separated from you."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Thousands of people are your subjects and cannot live without your protection."

……

News spread that Emperor Xingyuan wanted to go south, and King Xiu heard about it and asked for an audience.

"What's the matter with you?" Emperor Xingyuan asked calmly, looking at his eldest son who was kneeling on the ground to salute.

"My son is willing to go south on behalf of his father to search for and rescue Xin Taizhao."

"Are you going?" Emperor Xingyuan frowned, a little surprised.

"Father, please rest assured that my son will do his best."

Seeing this, all the ministers spoke for King Xiu one after another.

It is better for the eldest prince to go than for the emperor to go in person.

Emperor Xingyuan thought for a long time and nodded.

King Xiu quickly set off for Baiyun County, and with the exception of a small number of guards from Prince Xiu's palace, most of the people he brought with him were Jinlin guards and soldiers from the Beijing camp.

The person chosen to lead these pro-army troops was, to the surprise of many, Bai Ying, the daughter of General Bai.

General Bai also took the initiative to ask for help and wanted to go south to look for Xin Daizhao. Due to poor health, his daughter went there on her behalf.

Although some ministers had objections to this, they could not shake Emperor Xingyuan's decision.

Thinking about the relationship between General Bai and Queen Xin, the ministers became more and more aware of the importance the emperor attached to Xin Daizhao.

Xin Daizhao personally went to pick up the coffin of the late empress and went to Beijing to suppress mountain bandits, destroy rebels, and rescue victims. His reputation among the people was immeasurable.If he can return safely, the situation in the DPRK and China may change drastically.

Different from the commotion outside, He Qingxiao carried Xin You on his back for three days before walking out of the rolling mountains. Fortunately, he found an Orion family. He rested for a few more days at the Orion's house. After Xin You's fever subsided and she could go to the ground, she was ready to leave.

"I've been bothering my eldest brother and aunt these past few days."

There are only two people in the Orion family, mother and son.It turns out that Brother Orion had a wife who had a difficult delivery a few years ago, and neither the adult nor the child could be saved.It is difficult for poor families to find a wife, so only mother and son are left to depend on each other.

He Qingxiao knew this all thanks to Mrs. Orion, who was particularly eloquent.

At this time, the aunt took Xin You's hand and told He Qingxiao: "Your wife is too thin and her bones are weak. She should make up for it when she gets home."

"Yes." Even though he had heard it many times, He Qingxiao still couldn't help but feel hot every time he heard the word "daughter-in-law."

But he has always been patient with his kind elders. Even if the aunt said the same thing over and over again, he would still listen patiently.

"Mom, please stop being so verbose, it makes people's ears grow calluses."

The aunt looked at her son and said, "Look at Xiao He, he has such a good temper. No wonder he has such a handsome wife."

Brother Orion was unconvinced and whispered: "Isn't that because Xiao He is also handsome?"

"What did you say?" The aunt raised her voice.

"I say you're right."

Xin You smiled: "Mom, brother, thank you for taking me in. I'll come see you when I get home and take care of myself."

"No, no, no, just live your life well." The aunt looked at the handsome couple who looked like golden boys and beautiful girls, and couldn't help but warn, "Xiao He, your wife is still young, so don't be in a hurry to have a baby..."

He Qingxiao's face was slightly red, but he couldn't ignore the aunt's earnest instructions: "Don't worry, aunt, we are not in a hurry to have a baby."

Xinyou lowered his head slightly.
