Chapter 167. Part 32
Qi Xiang grinned grimly: "What's the matter with you wanting to take it by force? You lowly slaves, what can you do to me?"

Shan Tong and the others gritted their teeth in popularity, but there was nothing they could do.

Qixiang flicked his whip: "Say it quickly, will you give it?"

Zheng Yuansheng said: "I can give you the article. Get a pen and paper, and I'll write it to you right away."

Qixiang was dubious and asked someone to take a pen and paper.

Zheng Yuansheng slammed the shot put, and finished the writing very quickly.

Qixiang read in a low voice: "Changbai Mountain is the most majestic mountain in Shenzhou. It is majestic and majestic, standing on the bank of the Eastern Xinjiang. The peak is so high that it towers over the sky, its appearance is beautiful and the wilderness is beautiful, the heaven and the earth are designed, and it is praised in ancient and modern times. The beauty is infinite. The Tianchi is blue and the peaks are reflected, like a treasure mirror and inlaid. The clouds come and go, and the ripples open and extend. The Baihe rushes away, travels to Guangyuan and returns. Yan. Great article! The emperor will be delighted after reading it. Your name is Zheng Yuansheng, right? Very good and talented. I will reward you with a roast leg of lamb. Haha!"

Shan Tong watched him leave with a big smile, feeling aggrieved: "Yuan Sheng, did you let him exchange a roast leg of lamb for the article you wrote?"

"Otherwise, so what?" Zheng Yuansheng laughed at himself helplessly, "Having leg of lamb is better than having none."

Liu Qinglong was furious: "Why are you so short-sighted? This is an article you worked hard to conceive. Don't you hope to use this article to get the emperor's appreciation in exchange for your freedom, so that you can meet Tian Erya as soon as possible?"

"If the article cannot be delivered, it will be dark."

Liu Qinglong sighed: "It's a pity."

Shan Tong said: "There is no way to do this. I hope the emperor reads this article and can deduce that it was not written by Qixiang."

Zheng Yuansheng's mood was low: "I hope so."

Everyone comforted him: "Cheer up. The local officials know what kind of ink Qixiang has in his stomach. If you take a step back, just pretend they don't know. Qixiang will also show timidity when he meets his superiors."

"That's right! The emperor Shengming will definitely guess that the article was not written by Qixiang, and may send someone to investigate, and we may be saved by then."

Zheng Yuansheng frowned: "I hope everything will develop in a good direction! However, a mere article may not attract the emperor's attention to us. Let's find another way!"

"Wait and see, maybe there is news!"

Zheng Yuansheng knew that it was whimsical to get the emperor's pardon with an article, but he still couldn't help having fantasies, waiting eagerly for the result after the article was reported to the court.

Qixiang took Zheng Yuansheng's article and asked someone to report it to the general of Ningguta.

The general was very surprised after reading it, and announced him into the barracks: "You are not bad, you can write such a high-level article. Is this really written by you?"

"Yes."

"Okay, tell me, how did you come up with ideas? Can you write like a spring and write such a good article?"

Qixiang hesitated.

The general slapped the desk: "I see that you plagiarized other people's achievements and claimed credit. If you don't tell the truth, I will order you to be hit fifty times."

"My lord, please spare me." Qixiang thumped and knelt on the ground, "This article is gorgeous in words and neat in counterpoint. Regardless of whether it was written by a villain or not, it is a superb masterpiece. Why don't the general dedicate it to the emperor? Dragon heart is happy."

"You kid is really slick. The person who wrote this article must be very talented. You keep it for me. I will use it in the future."

Qixiang nodded: "Yes."

"It makes sense. Count your meritorious service and help you with a hundred taels of silver. Go down and receive the reward!"

"Thank you, sir." Qi Xiang was overjoyed, leaving the General's Mansion without mentioning that there was such a person as Zheng Yuansheng.

Zheng Yuansheng didn't know this, and was still waiting foolishly.He hoped that the article he conceived so hard could change his life, restore his freedom soon, and see Tian Erya.Daotian Erya, who had sworn to his companion, came to Ninggu Pagoda, but in fact, he was a little uncertain in his heart.After all, Ninggu Pagoda is too far away from Jiangnan.She came along the way, not very realistic.

When he missed Tian Erya, he didn't know that Tian Erya was also thinking about him in the village not far from him.

Tian Erya was busy mending clothes for the soldiers every day, and went out to inquire about Zheng Yuansheng's whereabouts in her spare time, but she was not familiar with the place here, so she always returned without success.Two months had passed in the blink of an eye, and she still hadn't found a word from Zheng Yuansheng, nor had she found a blacksmith shop to do odd jobs.Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and she wants to spend a lonely New Year in Ninggu Pagoda, she feels very aggrieved.

At this time, Tongbat came to Ninggu Tower in a hurry.He stood outside the barracks and begged to see his brother vigorously.

Some time ago, he cooperated with the local county magistrate in Northwest Karen to eradicate horse thieves.He wanted to get promoted, and showed off in front of Tian Erya, showing that he was not incompetent.

Tong Bak received a report from his subordinates that his younger brother wanted to see him, so he immediately lowered his face and asked someone to tell his younger brother that he would not see him, that he should not be complacent when he got a seventh-rank official position, and immediately returned to the northwest after a day off.

Tong Bat was dissatisfied, and asked his brother's entourage: "My brother really doesn't want to see me?"

"The young master said that the young master has to accumulate a lot of money and make a lot of contributions. It's not too late to come to him to continue the brotherhood."

"Understood. Where's my bodyguard Li Hu? I can't let me leave without seeing him."

"That can't be done. The villain immediately asked someone to call Li Hu over."

Seeing Li Hu, Tong Bat snorted, "You're fine! You haven't written to me these days. When you come to my brother's tent, don't you take me seriously?"

Li Hu said with a bitter face: "Master, it's not that I don't give you heart, but that the young master put me in the infantry camp as soon as I came." He narrated what happened after he arrived at the barracks that day.

Tong Ba was anxious: "Where's Tian Erya?"

"I don't know." Li Hu whispered, "The young master drove her away that day."

"What?" Tongbat panicked, Ningguta was a big and desolate place, and the soldiers stationed there were rude and barbaric.Moreover, this season is cold and freezing, and Tian Erya doesn't have much silver, so what should I do?He hurriedly searched nearby.

Although it had been several months, Tian Erya, a foreigner, was beaten with a bruised nose and a swollen face by a big rake, which still left an impression on many people who witnessed what happened.

When Tongbat came to ask with a portrait of Tian Erya disguised as a man, someone who witnessed the scene described the scene to him vividly.

When Tong Bat learned that Tian Erya was beaten horribly, he felt like tearing apart.He inquired everywhere about Tian Erya's whereabouts, but he didn't get any definite information.

Tong Bak learned that his younger brother had been resting in the military camp for more than a day and hadn't returned yet. He wandered on the street one after another, annoyed: "He is really helpless. I thought he was demoted to the Northwest, experienced some hardships, and became an adult. Sex. Unexpectedly, he is a depraved and prodigal son in his bones. Someone will tie him up and escort him back to the northwest."
