Chapter 404 A Wasteful Trip
Several people followed the governor to the yamen.
Not long after, the food was served.
There are both meat dishes and vegetarian dishes.
The governor personally picked up the largest chicken legs and goose legs for the little dumpling.
"Thank you, Xunhubo!"
After politely thanking, the little dumpling held the meat and ate it with big mouthfuls of relish.
"Today is truly thanks to Lady Xiaojiu!" the Governor sighed with deep emotion. "If it weren't for her incredible magical powers that drove away the Red Moon Army, the Gansu and Ningxia counties would have fallen long ago."
Wang Changyang sighed, "Except for her, no one else has this ability. I heard that if Xiao Jiuer hadn't arrived in time, many people would have been slaughtered."
"Exactly." The governor still felt a little scared when he thought about it. "I was also controlled by the Red Moon Army. Fortunately, there were carrier pigeons from the Fan family, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. Speaking of which, I'm sorry to have troubled my mentor and everyone else!"
Wang Changyang said, "On this journey, I was extremely anxious at first, but Zen Master Huineng was always patient. Suddenly, I understood that the crisis in Ganning County must have been resolved by Xiao Jiuer, so later, I was no longer anxious."
"What?" Zen Master Huineng shook his head seriously. "Great scholar, you have misunderstood. I am slow because I am too old. I cannot run as fast as a young man like you."
Seventy-five-year-old young man Wang Changyang: "..."
The governor couldn't help but smile. "Master, you and everyone else have worked hard today. I have already had a place prepared for you to rest. Everyone, please rest early."
"I'm afraid I can't stay here overnight." Wang Changyang said, "There are still thousands of people from Heihe City on their way."
"Ah?" The governor was stunned. "Has everyone from Heihe City been dispatched?"
"Men and women are here." Wang Changyang patted the governor's shoulder. "If you are in trouble, they can't sit still."
The governor was deeply moved and said, "Students must work hard to govern the country, be diligent and care for the people, and live up to all the people!"
Wang Changyang nodded. "Master cannot stay here with you. The people of Heihe City all walk, which is much slower than us. After dinner, we must return immediately to meet them."
Luo Qiuyue put down her chopsticks and said, "Leave this matter to me. The great scholar and the two Zen masters can stay and rest."
"If you want to go back, let's go back together." Master Hongkong said, "After eating, let's ride on horseback together. I'm not tired anyway. I just don't know... Senior Brother, do you have any questions?"
"I have a question."
Zen Master Huineng glanced at Xiao Jiuer, who was munching on a chicken leg. "Xiao Jiuer, I'm so old and weak, I can't stand the bumps of riding a horse! I'm so tired!"
The little dumpling paused with his hands and mouth, "Big head, you sit on Jiaojiao, is that ok?"
"Yes! Yes!" Zen Master Huineng heard the answer he wanted, and his eyebrows almost flew up in joy. "Xiao Jiu'er is really smart. Riding a dragon is especially suitable for an old man like me who is barely surviving!"
The little girl glanced at his energetic face and said, "Big head, you are a monk, you can't lie!"
"It's okay. Zen Master Huineng just needs to go back and break the wooden fish tonight. The Buddha will forgive him." Luo Qiuyue said with deep understanding.
Wang Changyang silently put down his chopsticks. "I'm seventy-five this year. Although I'm not as old as Zen Master Huineng, I suddenly feel pain in my bones!"
"Big fish, you can also ride a dragon!"
"Okay! Okay!" Wang Changyang smiled while stroking his beard.
Master Hongkong coughed twice and was about to speak when Zen Master Huineng said, "Brother, monks don't tell lies. You just said you weren't tired and could ride back on horseback."
"I... am not tired, but I can't let the horse get tired with me."
It was the first time Master Hongkong lied, and his face turned purple.
Oh, Buddha! I'm guilty! But I really, really want to try riding a dragon!
After dinner, Xiao Jiuer summoned the black dragon and everyone prepared to set off.
"Uncle Xunhu, Yueyueguo will send me money! Please accept it for me!" Little Dumpling said worriedly.
"Uncle, I'll remember it, don't worry!" said the governor.
Several people sat on the dragon's back, and the black dragon took everyone off.
Not long after, we saw a large group of people marching with torches.
"We are here!" Little Dumpling shouted to everyone.
"It's Master Xiaojiu!" everyone said in surprise.
"Fellow villagers, let's return the way we came! We've made a wasted trip today!" Luo Qiuyue shouted. "By the time we arrived, the Red Moon Army had already been driven away by Xiao Jiuer! Ganning County is safe!"
"Really?" Everyone was overjoyed.
"Zun Da Zun Da!" The little dumpling pointed at himself proudly, "I'm one of them!"
"Okay! Then let's go back the same way! Master Xiaojiu, go back and inform everyone first, so they won't worry!"
The black dragon flew up again, and Xiao Jiuer suddenly remembered something.
"Anai, do Naobao and Daddy need my help?"
"No need." Luo Qiuyue touched her little head, "Your father and the peasant army also need to grow up. They will tell you when they need you."
"Okay!"
The black dragon quickly arrived at Heihe City carrying several people.
The villagers on duty discovered them and shouted happily: "Fellow villagers, Master Xiaojiu is back!"
The lights in every household soon came on and all the villagers ran out of their homes.
They didn't sleep at all because of worry.
"Yan Ping's mother, where are the others?" Everyone was very anxious.
Luo Qiuyue held the sleeping little girl in her arms and whispered, "Don't worry, everyone. They are already on their way back. It's just that we are faster."
"Are they okay? Are they injured?" the women looked anxious.
"What could have happened? There wasn't even a fight." Luo Qiuyue smiled and recounted what had happened.
The villagers stared at Xiao Jiuer in amazement, "So, this was all a wasted trip?"
Everyone looked at the little girl's sleeping face with pity.
"Master Xiaojiu knew that the villagers would not fight, so a baby took on the whole thing!"
"How can there be such a soft-hearted God in the world?"
The villagers were about to kneel down and worship as they spoke.
Luo Qiuyue quickly carried Xiao Jiuer and left, "Xiao Jiuer is sleepy, we'll go back first, you guys should go back and rest too."
The villagers nodded, "Let's go back and make something hot and wait for them to come back!"
The main force returned late at night.
Heihe City was noisy for a while, until the sky was slightly bright, and then it slowly quieted down.
Next, the villagers focused on building the military camp.
After this incident, they understood:
Some things are really not their business.
Three days later, shouts were heard at the city gate.
"Master Xiaojiu, the Red Moon Nation has sent you a gift!"
