Chapter 805: Gatekeeper

This person turned out to be Zhao Shu!

Zhao Shu is not dead? !

When Zhao Shu saw Tang Li, he suddenly stood up and ran away stumblingly as if he had seen a scary person.

Tang Li and Wei Qing followed him and saw him run into a dilapidated temple.

There were several beggars lying in the dilapidated temple.

Zhao Shu ran over and angrily said, "Get out of here! I'm the emperor, why don't you kneel before me?"

"Hahaha, you are the emperor, and I am the emperor emeritus. Son, call me 'Dad' and let me hear it."

As he spoke to the beggars, he rushed towards Zhao Shu.

What followed was the sound of beating, and Zhao Shu, who had been arrogant just now, let out a sound like ghosts howling.

Zhao Shu went crazy.

Tang Li and Wei Qing looked for a while, then turned and left.

"Were you talking about Zhao Shu falling off a cliff?" Tang Li asked.

Wei Qing nodded: "He's lucky to still be alive."

However, Zhao Shu's survival could not change anything.

Whether he is a madman, a fool, or a normal person, it will not have any impact on Zhao Jingxuan's throne.

Zhao Shu's life was more torture than his death.

The prince who was once high and mighty and had the power to decide life and death over so many people eventually became an ant, and even a beggar could beat him up.

This is the best retribution for him.

Perhaps he had done so many evil things that Heaven felt that letting him off was too easy.

"Zhu Chunjiao and Zhao Shu have both gone crazy. This is God's retribution." Wei Qing said, obviously sharing the same idea as Tang Li.

Tang Bao and Mu Bao were silent. At this time, Tang Bao couldn't help but ask, "Mom, who was that person just now?"

"His name is Zhao Shu, and he's a big bad guy..." Tang Li picked up a few bad things Zhao Shu had done and said, "Tang Bao, we should sympathize with the truly pitiful people. People like Zhao Shu who deserve their punishment should be ignored. Sympathy should be used in the right place and not wasted."

After hearing what Zhao Shu had done, Tang Bao was furious. How could there be such a bad person?!

She didn't want to give him money at all, she just wanted to kick him a few times.

For Wei Qing and Tang Li, the matter of Zhao Shu was just a small episode on their journey.

The next morning, the group continued their journey.

From south to north, the weather is getting colder and the roads are becoming more and more difficult to travel.

Half a month later, the carriage could no longer move and had to change horses.

Tang Li and Wei Qing rode two separate horses, each carrying a baby.

When Mu Bao first learned to ride a horse, he still felt very curious. In his father's arms, he twisted his little body left and right. Fortunately, he was small, and even smaller in his father's arms, so this little movement did not affect his father's riding at all. Later, he became wilted and stayed still.

Tang Bao was as calm as ever, sitting obediently in Tang Li's arms, occasionally saying a few words to make Tang Li laugh.

"Wife, this is Langya Pass." Wei Qing suddenly said.

"Langya Pass?" Tang Li was a little surprised and didn't understand how her husband knew.

"Decades ago, this was a dangerous pass in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and my mother was stationed here." Wei Qing said.

He learned all this from his third uncle.

Before entering the palace, his mother was a female general on the battlefield and was stationed here.

The female general on the battlefield was dressed in fine clothes and rode a horse, but fate forced her to enter the palace, where she became a bird in a cage and lost her vitality.

His mother must have been very happy when she was in Langya Pass.

Therefore, Wei Qing was deeply impressed by Langya Pass.

The two men rode their horses to a high place, overlooking the mountains in the distance. Suddenly, they realized that there was once a woman standing here with a spear, showing the courage of a single woman blocking a thousand.

"Master, Madam." At this time, Fourteen came riding on a horse.

He had just gone to look for a place to rest for the night. In this desolate mountain wilderness, if there was a village, that would be the best. If not, he could only find a safe cave...

"I found the village. Walk there and there will be a small village with five or six households in about half an hour." Fourteen said.

Tangli was a little happy. This was a good thing for them. Sleeping in the villagers' homes was definitely better than in the cave.

Fourteen led the way in front, Tangli and Wei Qing followed on horseback. The mountain road behind was rugged and they couldn't ride horses, so they had to dismount and walk.

After a bumpy ride, we finally arrived at the small village.

There are no fields in this village deep in the mountains, so people make a living by hunting.

There are a lot of prey hanging at the door of every household.

There was someone at home in one of the houses, so Tang Li walked over and started talking to that person.

"Auntie, we are passing through here to visit relatives. Can we stay here for the night?"

The aunt looked at Tangli and saw that she had a kind face and a very pleasing appearance. Then she looked at the two children and saw that they were both very cute, which was enough to dilute the oppressive feeling brought by Wei Qing, so she agreed.

"Of course, I can, but there are too many of you and I only have one empty room in my house."

"Are there any other families where I can stay overnight?" Tang Li continued to ask.

The aunt went to help ask, and finally the family next door agreed to give them a room, and their problem of sleeping at night was solved.

This aunt has a large family. Her husband looks to be in his early forties. He has three sons, three daughters-in-law, two grandsons, and three granddaughters. The youngest grandson is two or three years old.

Those children all liked Tangbao very much and vied with each other to talk to her. Even if Tangbao was lazy and didn't want to talk to them, they would still take out their precious things to please her.

Silver was not needed in the deep mountains, so Tangli gave a sharp dagger as a thank you gift.

This sharp dagger is very practical for hunters.

This family is also very down-to-earth. They prepared a table full of meat, fried, roasted, and cooked in different ways, and it smelled delicious.

Mu Bao took a wild rabbit's leg and gnawed on it, until his little mouth was covered with oil.

Tangbao ate very politely, but also ate a lot of meat.

The aunt's husband kept silent at first, but after drinking some wine, he started talking about the past.

"Back then, there were a lot of bandits here. My grandfather and my father were both killed by bandits. My mother took me and hid in a cave. She didn't dare go out during the day and went out to find some food at night. One time, by chance, we were met by two bandits who wanted to humiliate my mother... I heard my mother's screams, so I ran over and fought with the bandits. However, the two of us were no match for the bandits. Just when the bandit's knife was about to hit me, another knife suddenly flew over and knocked the knife away."

"I'll never forget that scene. She descended from the sky like a fairy and killed all the bandits who had bullied my mother and me. I still remember what she said, 'I'm in charge of Langya Prison. No bandits will dare to bully you again.'"

The middle-aged man said, his eyes full of gratitude, and his eyes were a little red: "Since then, there have really been no bandits. She is the gatekeeper and our guardian angel."

The aunt, her son, daughter-in-law, and children had obviously heard this story countless times and had no special reaction.

Only Wei Qing was stunned. He looked at the middle-aged man and couldn't help asking, "The woman who saved you, is her surname Xiao?"
