Chapter 919 Am I dreaming?
Someone heard the noise and came over with a cardboard lantern.
He looked into the water and exclaimed in surprise, "There's someone in the water! Help! Someone's fallen into the water!"
"You're still an old man, hurry up and save him!"
There were many men who knew how to swim at the dock, and with this arrangement, someone quickly rescued the master to the dock.
Only then did Jiang Lianzhu see the face clearly, it was indeed Tan Tao!
He was dying, his body was swollen, and no one knew how long he had been in the water.
Jiang Lianzhu looked at the big turtle in the water again, and seemed to be relieved to see that Tan Tao was rescued. She turned around and paddled in the water, sank to the bottom, and left Shamen County.
…
Jiang Lianzhu withdrew her magical consciousness, and the people in the palace opened their eyes.
Liao Jiu asked from the side, "Wife, have you found any clues? Is there any sign of Yao?"
"I didn't find the Yao family, but I saw your teacher, Dean Tan Tao, in Shamen County!"
"What?" Liao Jiu was shocked.
Jiang Lianzhu told Liao Jiu what she saw in Shamen County.
Liao Jiu said, "How did my teacher end up in Shamen County? Didn't he go to Darong Country to give lectures with the War King?"
Speaking of this, Jiang Lianzhu recounted the entire story of her encounter with Tan Tao in the black market.
I had told these details to the fake Liao Jiu and Wang Laowu before, but hadn't had time to tell them to the real Liao Jiu. Now I told him everything from beginning to end.
Liao Jiu finally understood, "So he was teleported into the water by the old turtle in the black market? Then, he was rescued by a big turtle and sent back to land. No, I have to send someone to pick up my teacher..."
Jiang Lianzhu nodded. "Well, let's send someone reliable and hurry up. I see that the teacher is not in good condition and seems to be unconscious."
Liao Jiuyi thought, "How about this, I'll ride on the wind and go there myself, it's the fastest."
Jiang Lianzhu frowned. "No, your injuries haven't fully healed yet. I'll go! Have Chengfeng go with me. When the time comes, have Chengfeng carry the teacher back. Chengfeng and the others have taken the elixir now, so they can fly even faster. It will only take an hour or two to get to Shamen County."
It takes at most two or three hours to go there and back.
Liao Jiu disagreed. "I'm fine, wife, let's go together. Chengfeng told me that it has advanced after taking the elixir. It's faster than before and can even carry two people at the same time. I'll go and bring the teacher back. Tianya Academy can't be without a teacher."
Da'an Kingdom cannot do without Tan Tao.
Tan Tao was an intellectual leader in Da'an State and a well-known Confucian scholar. Such a talent could not be lost even if he had nothing to do with the couple.
The two of them went as soon as they said they would.
Erya was told about the palace matters and asked to take good care of her daughter and coax her to sleep first.
They went to Shamen County and came back.
Let the snow wolves guard the palace and protect the master's safety. The snow wolves nodded and stood ready.
After Jiang Lianzhu returned to the palace, she also praised them. When Jiang Lianzhu and her husband were away, the three snow wolves each protected their master and did a very good job. Now that they have been promoted, they are taller and stronger, and they can probably do even better.
With them around, I can at least face off against a warrior at the sixth level!
The Seventh Realm might be able to give it a try.
He is no worse than the masters of the imperial guards in the palace.
Their hearing and sense of smell are more sensitive than humans, and they are instinctively alert as animals. Crucially, they are also very connected with their masters and are more loyal. Jiang Lianzhu feels more at ease when she lets them protect Erbao and Nanbao.
Chengfeng Jifeng was already lying down, having come here on orders, without complaint, and following his master's instructions, he carried them on his back and flew away.
Shamen County, they are very familiar with it.
It’s an old map. You can fly over it with your eyes closed.
The speed was extremely fast. Just as Jiang Lianzhu expected, it took only more than an hour to reach Shamen County.
At this time, Tan Tao had been sent to the government office, and the government had invited a doctor to treat him.
As soon as Jiang Lianzhu and his wife's golden eagle came down, the county magistrate came out to greet it.
Who doesn’t know that the one who owns the golden eagle mount in Da’an Kingdom is the Regent and his wife!
After asking about the situation, they discovered that the half-dead man their captain had pulled out of the water was a big shot like Mount Tai in Tianya Academy of Da'an Kingdom.
The county magistrate blamed himself and quickly took Jiang Lianzhu and his wife to the backyard.
"My Lords Regents, I have failed in my duty! I failed to personally attend to Elder Dean Tan. Elder Dean Tan's reputation is legendary, and I have long been familiar with him. However, even when Elder Dean Tan was right before my eyes, I failed to recognize him. I truly deserve death. I have failed to recognize this great man and am ashamed to meet you, my Lords Regents... Please, please, we are in the courtyard in the west wing at the back."
Liao Jiu was serious and didn't say anything. He was the first to walk in front with a fast pace, which showed his mood.
Jiang Lianzhu walked behind, side by side with the old man from the county, taking care of him as he was old and it was late at night, so she was afraid that he would get too anxious.
Shamen County is still well-managed today, and this county magistrate has made an indelible contribution to this.
In the past, when Jiang Lianzhu and others were not in high positions, they would come to the county magistrate for help when they encountered difficulties. He did not make things difficult for them and handled everything in an impartial manner.
Furthermore, Tan Tao was not in danger of life. On the way here, she had seen that a doctor was treating him, and he was probably waking up now.
"You don't need to blame yourself. Even though you didn't know him, you were able to save him. You hired a doctor to treat him, saved his life, and sent someone to take care of him. That's already been enough. When Tan Tao wakes up, he won't care about these trivial matters. Dean Tan is a very free and easy person. He will definitely thank you for saving his life later. The good public security and morale of Shamen County are closely related to you, the fatherly official. The emperor has a clear mind, so you can rest assured."
Jiang Lianzhu spoke to comfort him.
The magistrate of Shamen County was flattered. If he had not been in a hurry to lead the way, he would have knelt down and thanked Jiang Lianzhu.
"I am terrified. I cannot take credit for anything that is within my responsibility!"
Liao Jiu walked in front, the county magistrate jogged after him, and Jiang Lianzhu walked neither too fast nor too slow, not falling behind.
They arrived at the backyard where Tan Tao was. The doctor had just left and the servants went to boil medicine for Tan Tao. Tan Tao slowly woke up.
He was lying on the bed, looking as if he had not yet recovered, with dull eyes and swollen and stiff limbs.
Seeing Liao Jiu and his wife coming, Tan Tao rubbed his eyes and looked like he couldn't believe it.
"Evil disciple? Lotus Pearl? Am I dreaming?"
Liao Jiu was relieved when he heard him speak. The teacher was still the same teacher.
It's just a little embarrassing.
The tone, the provocative look, and the mental state confirmed that it was undoubtedly him.
"Teacher, you're not dreaming. Lianzhu was under the moonlight and saw you stranded in Shamen County. We came all the way here to check on you. Did you run into bandits or something?"
Jiang Lianzhu stood beside Liao Jiu with a smile, looking at Tan Tao.
The county magistrate also bowed to Tan Tao, with an apologetic smile on his face. He wanted to speak, but did not dare to interrupt the regent who was talking about business.
