Madam Zheng had already heard the commotion outside. At this time, she saw these people rushing in to save her, and she only knew Liao Zhibing. She couldn't help but be surprised. "Mr. Liao, why are you here?"
"Old Chief, Chief and Wang Ye asked us to save you. There are many twists and turns, and it's hard to explain. Old Chief, please leave with us."
Madam Zheng was supported by Liao Zhibing and climbed out of the cage with difficulty.
She was covered in dirt and had been in the cage for too long. She couldn't even stretch her legs and feet. At this time, she couldn't even stand up.
The people were shocked. Huzi hurriedly squatted in front of Madam Zheng with his back facing her. "Old Madam, can I carry you out?"
"You are?"
"I'm Wang Ye and Wang Fei's bodyguard." Huzi had a dignified appearance and was very likable. At this time, when he smiled, he even revealed his sharp canine teeth. He looked like an innocent child who had not yet shed his childishness.
This kind of appearance was the easiest way for the elderly to let down their guard.
Madam Zheng's heart seemed to be wrapped in a hot spring. She was no longer pretentious and obediently let Huzi carry her.
They walked the route that Jing Zhe had already chosen when he was scouting. They avoided everyone's eyes and ears and took advantage of the fact that everyone in the yamen was resisting the attack of the refugees. They jumped over the wall in a deserted place in the backyard. They went through the back alley and directly ran two streets down to the carriage that Qin Yining had arranged here.
Bing Tang had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw a group of people carrying a person from afar, he knew that the rescue was successful. When he took a closer look, he saw that the little beggar carrying the Old Madam of Duke Ding was actually Huzi. His dirty face made Bing Tang laugh.
When Huzi saw Bing Tang laughing, he also laughed foolishly.
Seeing Huzi and Bing Tang like this, Jing Zhe was always by Qin Yining's side. He knew the relationship between them and couldn't help but laugh.
Madam Zheng also smiled when she saw the familiar Bing Tang.
The atmosphere changed from one of panic to one of joy and relaxation.
"Old Madam." Bing Tang bowed as he approached.
"Miss Tang, please dispense with the formalities." Madam Zheng smiled and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. How have you been?"
"Replying to Old Madam, Wangfei treats this servant like a sister. This servant is fine. Wangfei ordered this servant to wait here and check on your injuries as soon as possible. Old Madam, please get on the carriage first. "
Madam Zheng's heart warmed as if she had soaked in a hot spring for three days. She smiled and said, "It's hard for you to be so considerate."
"These days, Wangfei has been so worried that she can't eat or sleep. Ever since she went to the cloth shop and found out about you, she has gone crazy. Every day, all she can think about is how to save you. She doesn't even have the mood to take care of her two brothers. Now that you are safe, we can all be at ease. Princess Consort can also sleep peacefully. "
Bing Tang carefully supported Madam Zheng and helped her into the carriage with Huzi.
Bing Tang then entered the carriage and checked Madam Zheng's pulse to see if there were any injuries.
Outside the carriage, Jing Zhe and Liao Zhibing jumped onto the shafts and drove the carriage away. Huzi and Mu Jinghu looked at each other in tacit understanding and immediately rushed in the direction of Pang Xiao.
At this time, the yamen was already in a mess.
Pang Xiao protected Qin Yining and Master Zhong as they retreated from the battlefield. Within the encirclement of the army, Historian Gao and his subordinates were almost turned into clay figurines by the mud, horse dung, and cow dung thrown by the refugees.
Although they had sabers with them, they still needed time to draw their sabers before they could wield them!
The angry commoners vented all their anger and resentment on them. If it wasn't for the fact that there were too many people and it was inconvenient to surround them, and that the surrounding army made the refugees hesitate and retreat, they would have been beaten into minced meat long ago.
Pang Xiao and Qin Yining looked on coldly from the side. Seeing that most of the people's anger had been vented, Pang Xiao then hugged Qin Yining and urged his horse forward and raised the horse whip in his left hand high up.
The well-trained 1000 soldiers and 50 Jinghu Wei immediately jumped off their horses and stepped forward. They shouted in unison, "Stop!"
The sudden shout was extremely intimidating, causing the refugees who had vented a lot of their anger to be stunned on the spot. The mud in their hands even fell to the ground.
Historian Gao and his subordinates were finally able to get up in a sorry state. They used their sleeves to wipe the dirt on their faces and spat out a few mouthfuls of mud.
Historian Gao held his breath and shook off the dirt on his hands, then wiped his face. He then saw Pang Xiao sitting on the horse and angrily reprimanded him.
"Your Highness, you're a little too 'timely' in stopping them! Did you deliberately come here to laugh at us? "
Pang Xiao raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, "Did this guy become stupid from anger?"
"How dare you! Why aren't you kneeling when you see Wang Ye! "The Jinghu Wei shouted loudly.
Historian Gao was shocked again. He didn't want to kneel, but his status was there and he had no choice but to kneel.
Just as Historian Gao hesitantly knelt down, the refugees behind him were much more honest. They were directly frightened by the Jinghu Wei's shout and knelt down uniformly.
Pang Xiao looked helplessly at the pitiful refugees and said softly to Qin Yining who was in his arms with heartache and pity, "I didn't mean to scare them."
He then shouted, "Men, arrest Historian Gao and vent the anger of the commoners."
"Yes, sir!"
The Elite Tiger Guards responded in unison, and with lightning speed, they pinned Librarian Gao to the ground.
Librarian Gao was dumbfounded. He struggled to raise his head and roared, "No! You can't treat me like this! I am an official of the imperial court, I am the local historian! I enforce the law impartially and focus on doing Your Majesty's work. I didn't do anything wrong. How can you arrest me just because a group of poor beggars said something bad about me! I don't accept this! I don't accept this! "
"You don't accept this?" Pang Xiao carried Qin Yining and dismounted from the horse. He carefully put on Qin Yining's hood and cloak. Then, he leisurely used the horsewhip to strike his palm and walked towards Historian Gao who was pressed to the ground.
Historian Gao struggled to twist his neck and raise his head to look at Pang Xiao. But he only saw a pair of deerskin military boots.
The young general dressed in a scarlet cloak and black armor looked down with disdain, his handsome face even carrying a bit of a smile. However, no one dared to underestimate his anger at this time, because the pair of phoenix eyes under his sword-like eyebrows were already brewing a storm even colder than the coldest days of winter.
"Do you know who This King despises the most?" Pang Xiao waved his whip and Jinghu Wei released his grip on Historian Gao.
Pang Xiao lifted Historian Gao's chin with his boots and coldly patted Historian Gao's head with the tip of his whip. "The people he despises the most are cowards like you who bully the weak!"
Historian Gao's face was full of humiliation. He suppressed his anger and said, "I am an official of the imperial court. Wang Ye is treating me like this. Does he want to cause trouble in the old capital and make the Zhennan King unhappy?"
"I said you are a coward. Why did you turn around and bite your master so quickly?" Pang Xiao said in a low voice and then raised his voice to point at the refugees kneeling on the ground. "Although they are poor, although they don't have enough to eat or warm clothes to wear, they still have the courage of a man. They can't stand to see injustice. For their savior, they can raise their arms and cry out! Although their actions are a bit impulsive, but this is the strength of character of the people of Da Zhou. This King admires them. "
Pang Xiao's low voice was very penetrating. All the refugees heard it clearly. All the refugees couldn't help but become excited.
They didn't think that the legendary evil embryo who killed without blinking an eye was actually such a reasonable and courageous person.
Pang Xiao lowered his eyes to look at Historian Gao. "And you? You think you are the local tyrant. You bully the weak, bully men and women. For your useless son, how many families have you forced to break up? I'm afraid you can't even remember how many bad things you have done.
"Tatan is now invading our country's borders. The people in the north have lost their homes. You have the strength to not fight against the foreign enemy. Instead, you are a tyrant! Someone like you who only knows how to use your strength to bully the weak, how can you be called a man? Your balls should have been chopped off and fed to the dogs long ago! "
Pang Xiao had been in the army for many days. When he communicated with those rough men, he couldn't speak in a polite manner. Moreover, when speaking with those uneducated people, it was not a good idea to speak in a polite manner.
Therefore, Pang Xiao used the crudest and most straightforward words to express his views and attitude. He didn't give anyone the chance to misunderstand his actions and position.
"Well scolded!!"
"Wang Ye is wise!"
The emotions of the escapees were going through a thousand twists and turns. At first, they thought that Wang Ye had brought his troops to suppress them. They were already in despair. They thought that they wouldn't starve or freeze to death, but would be killed by the troops of their own country.
But things took a turn. This heroic Wang Ye was not the rumored evil spirit. He was actually a very reasonable person. He even stood on the same side as them!
Thinking about it carefully, when Da Zhou and the Yan dynasty were at war, Wang Ye was a general of Da Zhou. Naturally, he would not show any mercy to the Yan dynasty. That was because they stood on different sides.
But now, the two countries had become one country. Wang Ye treated them as if they were citizens of the same country. He would not bully the commoners. And the commoners didn't have to be afraid of a general who surrounded their own country!
Many of the commoners, who had a deep-rooted impression of Pang Xiao, came back to their senses at this moment. They were no longer afraid of him. Instead, they felt that it was a good thing that their country had such an awe-inspiring prince who was good at war.
The commoners immediately cheered and shouted, "Long live Wang Ye! Long live Wang Ye! "
Qin Yining stood beside the Jinghu Wei people. When he saw this scene, he couldn't help but smile.
Pang Xiao was a smart person. He always knew how to judge the situation. She did not discuss this matter with him, but the two of them had a natural tacit understanding. He could make use of this matter to not only rescue his grandmother, but also change the bad impression he had of the commoners. He could also build up his reputation.
In the old capital, what Pang Xiao needed the most was a positive evaluation and reputation.
