Chapter 170 Part 35. Reunion after a long absence

Prince Su saw that the soldiers pulled the prisoners up from the swamp and threw them back on the boat, with a solemn expression: "These prisoners are risking their lives to fight the enemy for the country. We must rescue them and ensure that they are all alive."

"My lord, two prisoners have fallen into the swamp, and there is no one in sight."

Prince Su frowned.

Qixiang said: "My lord, it's their fate if they can't be saved. There is no way. The frozen soil in the swamp has been knocked open, and the miasma is gathering. We have to evacuate quickly."

Prince Su waved his hand: "Withdraw."

When Zheng Yuansheng woke up, he was very happy to find Shan Tong and Liu Qinglong by his side. When he learned that there were two fellow villagers who failed to get out of the swamp, his expression was sad.

Prince Su walked into the big tent, saw their sad expressions, and coughed lightly: "I know you are both very sad to lose two of your best friends. This king and the general have written to the imperial court to ask for credit for you."

Everyone bowed their heads in silence.

"In the memorial, I request that you be exonerated from your crimes, regain your freedom, and also pay tribute to the two prisoners who died."

Only then did everyone show some happy expressions: "Thank you, my lord."

Prince Su said: "You all performed very well. Before the imperial decree is issued, this king allows you to change your prison clothes and walk freely in the barracks without ankle chains."

Everyone was very pleasantly surprised: "Thank you, my lord."

Zheng Yuansheng couldn't hide his excitement, even if he didn't leave the barracks, it would be convenient for him to inquire about Tian Erya's news.

Prince Su pointed at him: "Boy surnamed Zheng, you are talented, courageous, and resourceful. That's right. This king is very optimistic about you. When the imperial decree arrives and frees you, how about staying under my command? "

Zheng Yuansheng was overjoyed: "Thank you, my lord, for your appreciation." He was wondering what Tian Erya was doing, how happy she would be if she could see her meritorious deeds.He also let Zaitian Erya know his ability, to make sure that she did not find the wrong husband.

Qixiang was itching his teeth with jealousy, envious of his good luck, but also wanted to punish him severely.

Tian Erya sewed clothes for them at the liaison office of the Qing soldiers. She was so busy that she seldom went out.After a long time, she felt that working here would delay her search for Zheng Yuansheng, so she quit her job altogether, purchased second-hand carts, stoves and bellows, and started forging scissors along the way.

On this day, she saw that the sky was gloomy and it was going to rain, so she hurriedly closed the stall.

Seeing it from afar, Yu Dachazi said to the man, "Take the umbrella and coir raincoat, and let's play tricks on that kid."

"Yes."

Tian Er's family just pushed the cart and was about to leave.

Yu Dachazi led people over: "It seems that you haven't left the village, and you are here to forge iron!"

"Master, I didn't show up on your site." Tian Erya backed down first, adhering to the principle of not causing trouble.

"It's a little far from my shop. Give me some scissors."

Tian Erya was surprised that he wanted to buy scissors, and quickly gave them to him: "The price I sell now is the same as the local ones, ninety yuan a pair."

Because the big rake looks decent, look at the scissors.

Bean-sized raindrops began to fall.Yu Dazai's buddy held an umbrella for him.

Tian Erya was in a hurry, and the linoleum cloth she was carrying was wrapped in her wedding dress, which could not cover the stove. When it rained, the fire in the stove was completely extinguished, and the charcoal of the car was also useless.She urged: "Master, do you want to buy scissors?"

"Buy, the blade of the scissors looks dull, sharpen it for me."

"It's already raining..."

Yu Dachazi said: "What's the matter with the rain? You are asked to sharpen your scissors, so hurry up. Customers are the first, don't you understand? Hurry up, or your business will be ruined."

Tian Erya had no choice but to sharpen the scissors for him.Raindrops were falling, soaking clothes and shoes.

Seeing her distressed look, Yu Dachazi smiled heartily, watched the rain fall on her feet, and waved his hands: "You are too slow, I won't buy it."

Tian Erya was drenched all over, angry and helpless, she drove the carriage in the rain to find a shelter from the wind.

It was at this time that Zheng Yuansheng, Shan Tong and others were driven out of the tent by Qixiang and went to dredge the ditches near Tunzi.

Under the torrential rain, Zheng Yuansheng and the others were exhausted and embarrassed.

Shan Tong scolded: "That bastard Qixiang, I won't do it sooner or later, but in this kind of horrible weather, my shoes are all wet and covered in mud, so I can't wear them at all."

Liu Qinglong said: "It's not his job to repair the ditches. I heard that he took advantage of the security chief and sent us to remove the sludge from the ditches. It's really not a thing."

"Don't talk about it. The man driving the carriage over there is watching us. It's raining so heavily, and I still want to watch the excitement." Shan Tong was disgusted.

Zheng Yuansheng was able to drop the hoe in his hand and looked over.

Tian Erya saw that the yamen servants were wearing coir raincoats and holding oil umbrellas to supervise the work of a group of people, who were thin and blue-clothed.She guessed that the group of people might be sent slaves, and wanted to see if there was Zheng Yuansheng among them, and identify them one by one.

The yamen servant also saw her and yelled, "What are you doing? It seems endless?"

Tian Erya took the horse and walked a few steps forward: "Master, can I take shelter from the rain here for a while?"

"Get out. Our government is working, what are you meddling with, a grassroots person? Get out of here quickly."

Tian Erya pulled Ma Yi and looked at the criminals reluctantly, preparing to leave.

"Ah?" Zheng Yuansheng called tentatively.

Shan Tong and the others were stunned, and looked at the driver in unison.

Tian Erya turned her head suddenly: "Is it Zheng Yuansheng? Where are you?"

Zheng Yuansheng walked over staggeringly: "Are you really Tian Erya?"

Tian Erya tossed her hat, revealing her beautiful hair, and wiped her beard vigorously: "I am Tian Erya. Zheng Yuansheng, I finally found you."

Zheng Yuansheng wept with joy: "You actually found this place from Jiangnan?"

Tian Erya held his hand tightly: "I originally planned to save more money and come to you after three years. However, I heard that you are in a dangerous situation in the deep mountains and old forests, so I can't sit still. I just came to you. Sure enough, you did not disappoint me, live well."

A yamen servant drove them away: "Zheng Yuansheng, hurry back to work."

Shan Tong pleaded: "Sir, they haven't seen each other for a long time, let them meet!"

"Shut up. Now is not the time for Lalang, work hard."

Zheng Yuansheng had no choice but reluctantly, watching Tian Erya push back and pick up the hoe to dig the mud.

Tian Erya saw that his hand that used to hold a pen was now picking up a hoe, her eyes were sour, and she smiled: "Yuan Sheng, I live in this village. I will come to see you often in the future. I have a My friend's name is Li Hu, and he is Lord Tongbat's bodyguard, and he is currently serving as a soldier in this barracks. If you can't get out, just ask him to deliver a letter to me, and he will help you."

"I remember." Zheng Yuansheng shouted.

The yamen servant yelled at Tian Erya: "Come on, don't waste your time here."
