Chapter 334 Traveling Together
The one who stopped the car was not someone else, but Xun Yuanbo.
"Master Xun?" Song Jingyun and Jiang Mixia were both very surprised.
"What heavenly master or not? Those are things of the past. The current emperor doesn't like the talk of ghosts, gods and fortune-telling. He even demolished the Qingxu Palace. How can I be considered a heavenly master? I'm just an old man." Xun Yuanbai pretended to be angry when he spoke, but he couldn't suppress the upturned corners of his mouth.
Who cares about the Heavenly Master or something like that?
He would rather be such a relaxed old man! "Then what are you doing here now, old man? Are you here to see us off?" Song Jingyun joked.
"Send it to you?" Xun Yuanbo raised his eyebrows, "How is that possible!"
As he spoke, he had already jumped onto the carriage and sat next to the driver, saying, "I plan to go with you."
"Come with us?" Song Jingyun and Jiang Mixia were surprised.
"Of course I will go with you." Xun Yuanbai scratched his ear. "I am an old man with no family, no relatives, and now I don't even have a Heavenly Master. All I have are some gold, silver and jewelry awarded by the new emperor, which I donated to repair the river. Now I am alone and have nowhere to stay, so naturally I have to follow you to beg for food."
"We are just a peasant family. I'm afraid we don't have enough food to feed you, and we may not even have enough house to live in." Song Jingyun smiled slyly.
"Don't worry, I'm well-read and I used to be a teacher. I can be a private school teacher in your Jiangjia Village and teach the children."
Xun Yuanbai said, "No matter how bad it is, I still have medical skills, and I am more than qualified to be a barefoot doctor. You will not suffer any loss if you keep me!"
He never eats white rice!
"It sounds like this deal is very cost-effective." Song Jingyun tilted his head, "In this case, let's reluctantly let Master Xun stay."
"Hurry up then." Xun Yuanbo urged the driver impatiently, "Hurry up, otherwise you won't be able to find a place to stay tonight."
The coachman cracked his whip, and the carriage moved slowly, followed by several other carriages behind.
The rotating wheels raised some dust, which floated in the air for a long time before falling to the ground.
On the city wall, the emperor and Jiang Jun stood side by side at attention, watching the carriages going farther and farther away in the sunlight.
After a long while, the emperor hesitated and said, "Tell me, is it inappropriate for me to agree to let him leave so easily?"
"Why is it inappropriate?" Jiang Junli was puzzled.
"You all say that Lord Song has great luck. I also often feel that Lord Song seems to have special abilities that others do not have. Whatever he decides to do must be right."
The emperor said solemnly, "If such a person with extraordinary abilities were placed by my side, he would probably be able to contribute a lot to the country."
"The emperor has just said that whatever Lord Song has determined must be correct. It is also right for him to resign and return home now. If the emperor forces it, something bad may happen." Jiang Junli said with a smile.
After a long time, the emperor smiled and nodded, "Yes, that's right. If that's the case, then let Lord Song go."
"Didn't Lord Song suggest earlier that the emperor should pay more attention to sea transportation? I have summoned the person in charge of this matter. Would the emperor like to listen to it?" Jiang Junli suggested.
"Let's go." The emperor put his hands behind his back and slowly walked down the stairs of the city wall.
