Chapter 921: Wife protects him!
But the smug look on his face betrayed him. "Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning! This old man has inspired many opportunities, not just this one. I didn't ask for their blessings to fulfill them. They all happened on their own. This big turtle today just has a deep connection with me. It's all the result of my past life's cultivation."
Liao Jiu also admired Tan Tao in this regard.
As expected of a big shot, everyone has his own field, is knowledgeable and well-educated. Improvisational speaking is Tan Tao's field. The Confucian school has a long history and must have its unique charm.
Unfortunately, he did not inherit his teacher's legacy and embarked on the path of a warrior.
The Confucian school was unable to enter.
"Teacher, you have survived a great disaster, and you will surely have good fortune in the future. We are here to take you back to the capital. If you are fine, would you like to come with us now, or rest in Shamen County for a few more days?"
Tan Tao asked, "Where's that big turtle?"
Jiang Lianzhu searched and found that she was already within the scope of Shamen County and could not find it.
"It must have gone back into the sea."
"Okay!" Tan Tao felt very regretful, but he was a free and easy person. He believed that meeting someone by chance was a matter of fate. His fate with the big turtle was over, but it didn't matter. It was all fate, and separation and reunion were predestined.
Then, Tan Tao said hatefully, "Lianzhu, tell me what happened to you guys in the black market after I was taken away... Is your father, that old bastard Xuan Zhan, back now?"
Jiang Lianzhu briefly told him what happened next.
Tan Tao praised Jiang Lianzhu for her prowess, then scolded Xuan Zhan again. Finally, he talked about Silangjun...
"My evil disciple! Si Langjun is so outstanding! Even if I am your teacher, I have to praise Si Langjun in front of you. Among the four adopted sons of that old bastard Xuan Zhan, Si Langjun is the one that pleases me the most, and he loves us Lianzhu so much. My evil disciple, I was worried about you before, but now that you have advanced to the eighth level of martial arts, your teacher is a little relieved..."
When Liao Jiu heard this, he pulled Jiang Lianzhu outside and said, "Wife, I remember that we still have things to do at the Six Gates. Let's go back first and let the teacher rest here for a few days."
Tan Tao chased after him, "Don't be like this, evil disciple, evil disciple, I just said it casually, hey, don't go! I have something to say to Lianzhu, Lianzhu, next time you meet that old turtle monster, you must avenge me. The city lord, that old turtle monster, is really outrageous. The first time, he sealed me in the painting, and the second time, he directly sent me to the group of sea beasts. He is not a human being, no, not a monster..."
Jiang Lianzhu turned around and asked, "Can I beat him?"
"You can't beat me now, but I believe you will be able to beat me in the future. Help me get revenge. If I don't get my revenge, I won't accept it..."
"Since the teacher thinks highly of me, that's fine."
Liao Jiu didn't even turn his head, snorted coldly, and pulled his wife away.
What did Tan Tao mean? He told his wife to help him get revenge, but he didn't want his help? He just looked down on him! He wasn't as strong as his wife!
Forget it, I’m definitely not as strong as my wife.
His wife's advancement was fast and easy, unlike him, who always achieved his goals at a huge cost, especially this time, when he almost lost his life. If it weren't for his wife's wisdom and bravery, he would have been dead.
This made him unable to disobey.
Think about it from another perspective: it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t have a strong wife. The fact that he can find a strong wife is also his ability, isn’t it?
If the wife is strong, then she will protect him!
What's wrong? It's not illegal!
After the couple learned about the situation, they left Tan Tao alone in Shamen County to recuperate and returned to the capital first.
It also saves the trouble of persuading Chengfeng to take an extra outsider on his ride.
Currently, the two golden eagles can only accept two couples and three cubs riding them, and they resist anyone else.
Anyway, there is still half a month before the Chinese New Year. After Tan Tao recuperates in Shamen County, he doesn't need to ride a horse or a carriage. He can go back and forth quickly by himself. He can shorten the distance to an inch and is an expert in traveling.
***
A few days after Jiang Lianzhu went back, Tan Tao returned to the capital.
Jiang Lianzhu released her consciousness and went to Tianya Academy to take a look. Tan Tao looked lively and energetic.
After he came back, he started giving a lecture in the academy. He gave a lecture on the black market based on his adventures during this trip. He told a story of true and false, and from time to time added some life insights and great truths, and quoted from classics. The students listened with great interest and said it was very exciting.
As soon as Tan Tao started teaching, Tianya Academy was packed. Not only were there students from the same school, but half of them were celebrities from the capital, or outer disciples of Confucianism. It was an unprecedented grand occasion.
It directly increases the atmosphere as the year draws to a close.
Everyone in the capital city can spend a happy and peaceful New Year.
This year was a particularly exciting one for the Kingdom of Da'an. First, there were natural disasters and man-made disasters, with refugees surging in droves. Then there was chaos in Baihua Tower, the previous emperor passed away, and the young emperor took the throne. Then there was a water monster that ate people, and the coalition forces of five countries invaded. Later, the third princess married a foreign princess. All good things took time, and finally the Kingdom of Da'an was safe and sound, and its national strength was even greater than before.
Dean Tan Tao of Tianya Academy has been away studying for a year. Now he has returned in high spirits. His lectures are even more popular, and the old scholar seems more mysterious than before.
These are all blessings for the country of Da'an and are also a good omen.
As the year drew to a close, Liao Jiu's health had almost recovered and his realm had stabilized, and everyone was happy.
Jiang Lianzhu and his wife no longer do everything by themselves like they did before. Dabao has been trained when they are not around, and can handle things without the two of them being in charge.
During the past six months, Dabao has cultivated a lot of confidants.
The Da'an Kingdom was well-organized from top to bottom.
At the end of the year, the court would take a few days off, and even the emperor, no matter how busy he was, would need to rest. This year's reunion dinner was more lively than last year.
Last year, Jiang Lianzhu and his wife celebrated the New Year with their three cubs, plus Zhan Wang, Liao Changming, and Mrs. Zhou.
This year, not only that, Dabao also invited the eldest princess and the second princess.
The royal family was dwindling, and Dabao had promised the late emperor to take care of the princesses, and he actually did it.
It’s a pity that the King of War has not returned yet, so an important relative is missing.
The reunion banquet was held in Fengyang Palace.
Erya is now a female official, directing the palace servants to run around and serve dishes.
The reunion dinner was extremely sumptuous. Erya arranged various dishes according to everyone's tastes. In front of Nanbao were all her favorite meatballs, in front of Erbao were all his favorite spicy dishes, in front of Jiang Lianzhu were all kinds of fish, and in front of Dabao were mostly light food...
Dabao sat in the first seat, with Liao Jiu and his wife and family on his left, and the eldest princess and the second princess on his right.
Liao Changming was still in prison and had not been released. Madam Zhou came into the palace alone and sat next to Liao Jiu, next to Nanbao. Erbao was next to Dabao, followed by Jiang Lianzhu, then Nanbao, Madam Zhou, and Liao Jiu, who was at the very bottom.
