Dawn of the Empire

Chapter 444 83 Temperance is not Huanwen-5

In the not-so-spacious courtyard, there were crowds of people everywhere, and there was a lot of noise and hustle and bustle.All the guests had come to join in the grand event, but they were making a lot of noise just now, no one expected that it would turn into such a scene.Seeing that Xia Mao'er's eyes were black and blue, Rao Zi still couldn't stop scolding.Xia Maoer clashed with all the guests just now with a few words, and as soon as he showed his weapon, he was surrounded by everyone. Fortunately, the guests also had a little friendship with Shisanlian Village, even though Xia Maoer was very aggressive, after being tied up , Did not suffer much flesh and blood.There are even some people who have secretly regretted it, but the more they can't step down, the more they refuse to accept this softness.

Just when he didn't know how to end, there was a voice shouting: "I saw Mr. Zhao coming!"Several people looked outside casually, and couldn't help but gasped. "It's true, Mr. Zhao came here in person!" The courtyard was suddenly quiet, "Really, let me see?"

Numerous gangsters flocked to the front yard, only to see Zhao Xingde's face was pale, wearing a green shirt, walking slowly.Many people rushed over to say hello.Liu Fa shouted loudly: "Mr. Zhao, I am Liu Fa of Lieyun Village, Yongxin County!" He saw Zhao Xingde cupped his hands from a distance, and the village master Liu swung the ghost knife with his right hand, and slapped the village with his left. Liao Tian, ​​the head of the middle school, "Did you see it? Mr. Zhao also knows that there is a number one person like me." "Yes, who doesn't know that Liu Da is a hero." Liao Tian hurriedly complimented.Liu Fa was even more proud, patted his shoulder and laughed loudly.When Zhao Xingde came close, many high-ranking people gave way to him one after another,

Zhao Xingde nodded to the Prime Minister to thank him, and he turned.Arching his hands with his right hand, he said with a slight smile: "The Liao army's southward invasion is imminent, and you all got up early in the morning to 'practice' martial arts. Worrying about state affairs like this is worthy of being a hero of our Song Dynasty." , as if he really didn't know what was going on, and said nonchalantly, "The people of Liao will be terrified when they hear the news. Zhao is very impressed."

Mr. Yuan Zhi praised it, and many careless people believed it, and said politely: "Where is it, hehe, where is it." Peng Man and Li You, the two leaders of Wuling Village in Jizhou, laughed and winked. On the contrary, it is not easy to explain the ins and outs of this matter to Zhao Xingde.Those who heard the implication, the sensible ones were secretly ashamed, and the arrogant ones disdain to distinguish between right and wrong.But seeing Zhao Xingde personally come out to persuade them, this fight is not likely to start.The tense atmosphere subconsciously subsided.

Luo Xianshi clasped his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao's award, it was all done by the people from Thirteen Lianhuan Village first, and we just played with them." Luo Xianshi is the village owner of Jingyi Village in Qianzhou. Among the group of heroes who came to the meeting, Wang and Lu Mingyu were only siblings.The so-called thief also has a way, when he greeted Zhao Xingde to talk, the surroundings also gave him three points, so as not to sweep his face and make trouble.However, as soon as Luo Xianshi finished speaking and Zhao Xingde hadn't answered, there was a loud shout from the ground.

"Your surname Luo, you fart!" Xia Mao'er blushed with excitement, "Obviously you guys killed it first, this is the place where my [-]th company destroyed the village, how can you make the decision?" He just heard Luo If Xianshi's words were not tied to the ground, he would almost jump up and argue with him.Luo Xianshi refused to lower his status to quarrel with him, and only sighed to Zhao Xingde: "It's all these bastards that caused some misunderstandings. Labor Mr. Zhao came in person, so it seems that us reckless people don't know the general idea. "

Zhao Xingde nodded, and said with a smile: "Since it's a misunderstanding, it's better to resolve the enemy than to end it. We still have to work together to fight against the Liao soldiers, so let's untie the Fourth Master Xia first." His tone slowed down a little, and he looked at Xia Mao'er He said, "It's better to let him go out and report to Lord Lu, so as to avoid further misunderstandings. If our southeast heroes fight each other, it will make the Liao thieves laugh at us."

The gangsters in the courtyard had no subordinates at all, and the people next to them glanced at each other, and then at Xia Maoer on the ground, but no one walked over for a while.Luo Xianshi stared at him: "Did you hear what Mr. Zhao said?" He shouted at his subordinates, "Quickly untie Xia Si's family." The people in Jingyi village quickly agreed, and rushed ahead of Du Chuijiao and others , Three times, five times and two times, untied the rope from Xia Maoer's body.Xia Mao'er suffered a loss, and didn't shout again, even Zhao Xingde didn't thank him, and went out with a sullen expression on his face.

"This stupid man," Luo Xianshi shook his head, and said to Zhao Xingde, "Mr. Zhao, don't blame Big Brother Lu for not teaching him well." He sighed with emotion, "If you know books and etiquette, who is a well-off family? Will they fall into the grass and turn into bandits? Even good citizens who were originally dutiful people, after staying in the grass for a long time, will no longer be able to talk about etiquette and become aggressive and ruthless. Otherwise, they will not be able to survive." Luo Xianshi finished speaking I was also surprised by these words.He is a man from a very deep city, but just being with Zhao Xingde, as if facing a crystal clear stream, makes people unknowingly put down their guard.Luo Xian was terrified, and asked again: "I don't know how the poisoned brothers are injured now?"

Last night, I performed a spell to save someone, but I don't know the result?Everyone was a little curious, and they couldn't help but keep quiet when they heard the words, and they leaned over to find out what happened.Zhao Xingde sighed before speaking.Everyone's heart sank, and some people even said in their hearts: There is no medicine to cure the venom of the cross-mountain snake. As expected, even Mr. Zhao can't help it.At this time, a stern voice suddenly came from behind the crowd.

"Don't bother the head of the family. Mr. Zhao's righteousness, he personally used the blood to expel the poison of several injured strong men last night. Although he has not recovered, he has always suppressed the poison." Lu Mingyu pushed through the crowd and walked in. , whispered, "It's a pity that Brother Pan in Qingshui Village has no luck to suffer from Mr. Zhao's blood, I'm afraid..." He sighed and didn't continue.

Hearing what he said, many guests from the rivers and lakes became more curious, and asked each other: "Using blood to detoxify? What's going on?" "Brother, I have little knowledge, does my brother know?" "Mr. Fate? Be good! Isn't that the same as Tang Monk's meat!" "Is this the magic of the holy religion?" There are various speculations.Later, several relatives and friends of the wounded also came over, and they roughly narrated the situation after asking all kinds of questions.The courtyard gradually became quiet, but instead, there were various exclamations.

Deng Yuanjue was also crowded in the crowd, and he could clearly hear the process of expelling poison with blood.

"Brother Deng, is what they said true? This Zhao, what kind of 'medicine' is sold in the gourd?" Zhong Xihe asked suspiciously.He is also a person who joined the Ming religion earlier, and he is used to pretending to be gods and ghosts, but he has never heard of using his own blood to drive away poison and save lives. Threatening, he lowered his voice and said, "Will the person who assassinated yesterday also be a brother in the sect? Do we want it?" He slashed down with his right hand diagonally, making a "kill" gesture.

"It's too strange to save people with blood, but I'm afraid it may be true." Deng Yuanjue was silent for a while, then sighed, "Although Junshi Zhao may not be a member of my holy religion, what he practiced was the way of saving the world and saving people." The doctrine says that snakes are creatures of evil and darkness. If his blood can really expel snake poison, it is also the will of the good god Ahura Mazda. We must not harm his life. Follow him and see what's going on." He had mixed feelings in his heart, seeing Zhong Xihe's confused face, he added, "Light will eventually drive out darkness."

"Yes!" Zhong Xihe nodded sharply.Most of the followers of Mingjiao are illiterate, and they are only very familiar with these superficial incisions.However, there are not many people who are as pious as Deng Yuanjue who have studied the doctrine deeply.On the contrary, people like Zhong Xihe, who can only memorize a few phrases by heart, often risk their lives for the sake of the holy religion when they get into trouble.After the fall of Fang La, the Ming Cult continued to be banned repeatedly, and it was precisely because of such illiterate but pious congregants.

This turmoil was about to pass without a sound.Now that he came here, Lu Mingyu took Zhao Xingde to the largest room in the guest courtyard, and just stepped into the door, but suddenly frowned, and saw the Eight Immortals Table, the desk, and The carved beds and other furniture disappeared, but instead, straw was spread all over the place, and there was almost no room for footsteps.

Seeing Lu Mingyu looking over with anger on his face, Luo Xianshi said coldly: "Luo has brought more than 500 brothers this time, and they are all first-class good men on land and water. The village master Lu kindly arranged this room for Luo. In the big house, many brothers from Jingyi can only live in thatched huts outside. Feeling sorry, Luo asked someone to move all the furniture outside, so more people can live in this house.” He paused, Bowing and cupping his hands, he said, "Boss Lu, please forgive me!" It sounded like Lu Mingyu was slapped in the face, his face was pale, he nodded and shook his head.

Zhao Xingde saw that the two heroes of the rivers and lakes refused to give in to each other, so he persuaded him: "Although the guest house is simple and simple, the sincerity of the village master Lu has not diminished. Since the water village is small, we might as well discuss how we can work together so that everyone can get there as soon as possible. Over there in Ezhou. The country is employing people, so it will definitely not treat heroes from all walks of life lightly."

"Won't you treat me poorly?" Xia Mao'er, who was following Lu Mingyu, was gasping for breath, and contradicted, "Now the officials have been taken away by Liao thieves. If we leave the foundation of this water village and go there, Who is in charge of eating and drinking? Recruiting security, recruiting security, either the government will beheaded to pretend to be meritorious, or he will be treated as a ghost by the town police! Killing and beating the Khitan bandits to death, the credit goes to the town police, and we must be sent to death!" Lu Mingyu saw him having a violent outburst, and was about to reprimand him. At this time, a villager hurried in and said: "Chief, an official ship is coming outside. The official said he was Chen Shaoyang from Ezhou, and he wanted to ask See Mr. Zhao Xingde."
