Both Miantang and Bi Cao were shocked. It was hard to imagine that these people would react like this when they heard the wedding news.
Miantang was a little impatient, “Who said I would marry him… To assassinate?”
The cries of several brothers were silenced, and they just stared at Liu Miantang, unable to think of the reason why she wanted to marry Prince Huaiyang.
Lu Yi speak up first, “Did you get caught by him before and he took a fancy of you and forced you to marry him?”
Miantang felt that she could not conceal the fact that she lost her memory, so she simply said it out and didn’t let the “loyal” brothers continue to think nonsense again.
“He didn’t force me, but saved me…” Then Miantang said the past of being cut off of her hands and legs hamstrings by a traitor and thrown into the river.
The four brothers have been wondering why their boss seems to have no news for so long. When they knew the real reason, they cried and couldn’t bear to think about her loneliness when she was seriously injured and thrown into the water.
Lu Yi was also holding his fist and looked like he can’t wait to suffer on behalf of Miantang.
However, Miantang felt that some of these people did not understand the key points, so she reiterated again, “In short, it was Prince Huaiyang who saved me in time and treated me. Now I have forgotten all about the Mountain of Yang section, and I don’t know you very much…”
Lu Quan wiped his nose and choked, “No wonder when you saw us at the beginning, you were so alert and didn’t come to recognize us. It turned out that Prince Huaiyang has caused you to lose your memory. He first sent officers and soldiers to intercept you. Seeing you lose your memory, he pretended to be your husband. It’s really hateful! If I don’t kill him, Cui Xingzhou, I swear not to be a man!”
The other brothers also looked gloomy and seemed to agree with Lu Quan.
How are Liu Miantang and Cui Xingzhou’s matters so simple as they said?
However, their hatred for Prince Huaiyang was deeply rooted and could not be shaken for a while. They only believed that Prince Huaiyang had deceived their boss.
After all, putting aside the skills of their boss, she is really a beautiful lady, and it is normal for Prince Huaiyang to take a fancy to her.
Liu Miantang listened to Lu Quan’s words and felt that it would be disorder to go on like this, so she stood up and put on a strict face, and said, “Who told you that Prince Huaiyang had harmed me? I told you that it’s none of his business! It’s true that I want to marry him. I’m serious and good life. Don’t think about revenge for me anymore. When you recover from the injury, I will give you some money and you can live well yourself…”
After hearing this, the brothers were anxious again, so they just knelt and refused to get up, “You are our boss. We will not go anywhere. We will stay by your side. Besides, we are not short of money… When you went down the mountain, we kept a large amount of money!”
Although their boss was not greedy for the money of the Mountain of Yang East Palace, she can earn money herself. Even in those years, she has a lot of dividends. In the beginning, she was also afraid that eggs would be beaten in a basket.
So Miantang gave the land title deed and the account book and the silver note to the four brothers for safekeeping. For a long time, they didn’t dare to spend them carelessly. They kept them all for the big boss.
When Miantang looked at the account book submitted by Lu Yi and the silver recorded on it, she fell silent for a moment.
These days, she first found out that she was a bandit leader, and now she found that she had such a large amount of money, which was really frightening.
However, these people are very worthy of their tattoos. They are indeed loyal people. They clearly have huge wealth, but they are not greedy. It is really rare to have such a pure and virtuous person in the world.
Miantang can’t get rid of these loyal people, and it’s not good to leave them alone. She then said, “Well, you can keep the money for me. You can buy a house to live in in the State of Zhen. I also have a property shop in my hand. If you want, you can go to my shop to help. Now, although there are some illegal corrupt officials in the local area, you can’t start a rebel every time there’s a corrupt official, right? It’s very simple to set off temporary public anger, but it’s hard to benefit the citizens and let them live a good life. In the future, you should never do anything like the State of Dong riot again. ”
In fact, her words of persuading others to be good citizens are not very convincing for the people who are familiar with her. However, these people have always regarded Liu Miantang as their belief, and when their belief speaks, they naturally listen to what she wants.
She would let them stay, which was already a happy thing. As for the matter that their boss wants to marry Cui Xingzhou, it seems that she has been deceived by a traitor for a while. Their boss will repent one day. With their protection, their boss will not suffer!
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves and human voices came from the official road not far from the thatched hut suddenly.
Lu Quan went out and jumped up the hill to check the official road. He immediately got nervous and ran back and said in a tight voice, “Oh no! Here come the officers and soldiers!”
When he shouted, several people in the room immediately became nervous. They jumped up one by one, drew knives and clenched their fists, and looked like they were ready to fight any time.
Miantang asked, “Have you been seen by Prince Huaiyang or his subordinates?”
Lu Yi shook his head and said, “When the two armies met, we all had furnace oil to wipe our faces. When we were in the State of Dong, we also wore fake beards to change our appearance. They couldn’t recognize us…”
Miantang breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Then what are you being nervous about? Just relax. When the officers and soldiers leave, you can leave again…”
Unfortunately, the brothers have always been in a relationship like cats and mice with the officers and soldiers. As long as they hear the word “officers and soldiers”, they can’t relax. Even if Miantang asked them to calm down, they can’t help but be nervous.
But these officers and soldiers seem to have stopped walking. They have been grinding horses around here. The sound seems to be getting louder and louder.
Seeing someone coming towards the thatched house, Miantang couldn’t help but go out and have a look.
At this time, she saw the tall man walking quickly towards her.
His bun looks a little messy. She doesn’t know how many days has it not been combed. A few strands of hair hang down on the side of his face. It is more obvious that his eyebrows and long eyes have an inexplicable sense of killing, and his chin is more stubble, with an inexplicable sense of vicissitudes, which has reduced the usual refined and relegated spirit, but has added an exciting male charm.
Miantang recognized Cui Xingzhou at a glance and immediately ran toward him like a happy rabbit. But when she was halfway there, she suddenly remembered the people in the thatched house behind her, and hastily stopped her feet.
However, Cui Xingzhou also saw her and rushed towards her like an arrow with long legs, holding Liu Miantang tightly in his arms.
In recent days, Prince Sui has entrusted someone to negotiate with him, but most of the time, he said nothing about the trouble in the State of Zhen and seemed to be in no hurry to exchange people.
If it hadn’t been for the officers and soldiers he sent to the town to check whether there were any suspicious people and found Fan Hu and the other two Concubines, Cui Xingzhou would have thought Prince Sui was calm.
It turned out that it was not Prince Sui who procrastinated, but he did not catch Miantang and his mother at all.
But after checking all the villages and towns, he didn’t see Miantang and his mother. It can be seen that they hid much more secretly than the concubines.
Cui Xingzhou was afraid of undue delay may bring trouble. Worried that they might have accidents outside thus, he started to search the area before they come finding at him.
When he came here today, Cui Xingzhou’s men and horses were about to pass by, but Cui Xingzhou suddenly remembered that when he passed by here when he was hunting before, he found a hidden place to rest and take shelter from the rain, so he stopped the horses and turned around.
Unexpectedly, there were results. He happened to see Liu Miantang coming out of the thatched house. She seemed to be thinner. She was dressed in men’s clothes and her face was smeared like a dirty cat. But Cui Xingzhou felt sore in the eyes and feverish in his heart. She just wanted to hold her in his arms and never let go.
At this time, the brothers in the thatched house also saw their big boss being held in the arms of a tall and handsome man.
Lu Quan was in a hurry. He just wanted to punch this rude dude, but was pulled by Bi Cao and said, “Our lord has reunited with the county mayor. What’s your business? Don’t rush and get penalized!”
Lu Quan then fixed his eyes on them. The man was exactly like the handsome man in gold armor seen on the State of Dong battlefield.
But on the battlefield, Prince Huaiyang was wearing a helmet and gold armor, so he didn’t really see his face clearly. Now, he can see that he is even more handsome and tall than Young Master Ziyu. It’s no wonder he can charm the big boss and let her marry him regardless…
Lu Yi clenched his lips, looked at Miantang, who was unable to hide her joy and shyness and looked up at the handsome man holding her.
The affectionate love of those people can’t deceive people.
The big boss seems to have fallen in love with the wrong person…
Besides, Prince Huaiyang, holding his beloved baby tightly, warmed for a long time, then looked up and saw the boys standing in front of the thatched house with murderous eyes.
“Who are they?” Cui Xingzhou looked at them up and down quietly.
Miantang said calmly, “It’s a group of warm-hearted older brothers. I went down the mountain to search for food and met a rogue. It was these brothers who helped me out. One of them was injured because he saved me. So I just treated his wound. Just after the medicine was applied, you came…”
Cui Xingzhou took her hand and came to the hut.
Liu Miantang stood behind Cui Xingzhou, glared at the “loyalty and justice” group of brothers, but said gently, “This is Prince Huaiyang from the State of Zhen. They are not the bad guys. Don’t you hurry and greet him?”
Lu Yi knelt with a stern face and said, “Greetings to Prince Huaiyang…”
The other three brothers also lowered their heads under Liu Miantang’s stare, collected their sharp edges, knelt, and kowtowed.
Cui Xingzhou looked around the room quietly and saw that the needle and thread to sew up the skin were still there, and the smell of medicinal wine was full. It was clear that Miantang, a poor doctor, was practicing medicine again.
He asked them about their places of origin but heard that they had been living on the streets since childhood, and had no registered residence registration to settle down in.
Miantang chimed in at the right time and said, “The Old Princess Consort is washing up on the mountain. I think it’s time to pack up for the meeting. Your Highness should go to meet the Old Princess Consort quickly. She hasn’t been able to rest and took care of herself properly and fell sick these days. She is very frightened…”
