Chapter 291 Liu'an Prefecture

"The doctor stays behind."

Looking along the place where the sound came from, a rather gorgeously dressed figure came into view.

Wearing silk and satin, with a gray beard and hair, and a very ruddy complexion.

At first glance, he seems to be a pampered old man, but upon closer inspection, he does not seem to be too old.

Just like a person who is used to living a hard life, even if he starts to live a good life after vicissitudes, the traces left by the years cannot be covered up.

Just such a person suddenly called Zheng Xiong to stop.

Respecting the old and caring for the young is a traditional virtue, and Zheng Xiong was no exception. Seeing this, he stopped getting into the car and asked the visitor with his fists clasped.

"Old man, what's the matter?"

The visitor accepted the greeting from Zheng Xiong calmly, and didn't think it was inappropriate, so he waved his hand.

"The doctor is here, and there is a long way to welcome him. Please don't blame me if I'm not good enough."

Forehead!Do we know each other very well?
People from the county government are still here, do you need your representative?
Zheng Xiong was confused by this reply.

"Who are you! What can I ask for advice?"

"Nanxionghou is my cousin, my lord! His surname is Zhao and his name is Zhongfa. He is promoted by his fellow clansmen. Tian is the head of the clan, and he has received the grace of His Majesty to be the head of the county government."

"I don't dare to ask for advice. I have already ordered my family to prepare drinks. I come here to invite Lord Hou to show me my respect. I have no other meaning in coming to my house as a guest."

There are many people who are popular, and Zheng Xiong is also very helpless.

The person who came here was familiar with him, and he had a haughty tone, which made Zheng Xiong a little unhappy.

Nanxionghou himself doesn't know him, he is also a prince, and he is not afraid of him.

The visitor didn't know where his sense of superiority came from, as if he was also a prince, enough to sit on an equal footing with Zheng Xiong.

Zheng Xiong shook his head, not mentioning that he was just a cousin, even if Nan Xionghou himself was here, Zheng Xiong would not want to bully him.

They are all dead bones in the tomb.

"Oh, there's no need to eat, Ben Hou is in a hurry, next time!"

After finishing speaking, he pretended to leave, but the old man refused to let go.

"The doctor's words are wrong. Don't rush on the road at this moment. Eat and drink well, keep your energy up, and you may not miss the journey in another day."

"I also ask the doctor to give me a thin noodle, as a kindness of the landlord."

The corners of Zheng Xiong's mouth twitched, and he even got into a fight with himself, and he clearly refused, and he still insisted on specifying what's wrong.

He was not polite at the moment, expressed his position with actions, turned around and left, and said lightly.

"Farewell! No more delivery."

Zheng Xiong's merciless behavior made Zhao Zhongfa a little dazed, and watched Zheng Xiong get into the car.

For a long time, he seemed a little ashamed and displeased with Zheng Xiong's disrespectful behavior, so he vented his accumulated anger to the few people who complained underground.

"Come here, take the complainants back to the government office, how dare you disturb Lord Hou, take them back to the county government office, and beat them."

Zheng Xiong hadn't gone far, when he heard this sentence, the expression on his face also turned serious.

Pulling up the cloth on the carriage, looking directly at Zhao Zhongfa, he said angrily.

"I don't even want to pursue it, so do you need to do it for me?"

"Let them go, and promise not to trouble them in the future."

"Otherwise, when Benhou comes back, if these people are gone, see if Benhou will let you go."

One sentence caused such a huge reaction from Zheng Xiong, Zhao Zhongfa's blood also rose, and he had opinions on Zheng Xiong.

Fortunately, he was persuaded softly by the people in the county government, so he didn't take too much action and let him go obediently.

"Didn't you hear what Lord Hou said! Let him go."

Seeing that the tie was untied, Zheng Xiong didn't want to stay for a moment, and left with his family.

As for the few people who complained, they can only resign themselves to their fate, fulfill their promises at another time, and come back to have a look.

After another period of traveling, we finally arrived at the boundary of Lu'an Prefecture.

Just entering Lu'an Prefecture, the terrain is flat, and the road in the plains is very smooth.

But the further we went west, the smaller peaks gradually appeared, and it became more and more difficult to walk.

One Jinggang Mountain, one Dabie Mountain, the two mountains can be said to be the cradle of generals.

Lu'an Prefecture is west of the Dabie Mountains, with a vast plain, but the water flowing down from the Dabie Mountains is always attacking the people downstream.

This is also the reason why Han Yueer's family fled famine.

It was almost to the mountainous area now, and Han Yueer didn't stop, which made Zheng Xiong feel a little uneasy.

As the saying goes, there is no way to enter the forest, such a large forest brings a little more anxiety, so Zheng Xiong couldn't help asking.

"Mother, where is the place you mentioned? There are mountains ahead, we are not familiar with the place, we can't act rashly, we have to make a plan!"

Han Yue'er was timid because of her closeness to her hometown, and she was quite excited when she saw the high mountains.

After hearing what Zheng Xiong said, he calmed down a bit.

And Lao Zheng and Jia Shi also persuaded.

"You haven't come back for so many years. Things have changed. Xiong'er is right. Don't be in a hurry. Ask people to inquire first, and then make plans."

The two endured silently along the way, also in order to fulfill Zheng Xiong's filial piety as soon as possible. Although the arrangements were very good on the way, but they came all the way in a carriage, and they were already broken up.

Being physically and mentally exhausted, I also want to cultivate myself, so I also started to persuade.

The same is true for Han Yueer, but getting closer and closer to her hometown, she is inevitably excited.

He also felt guilty for Lao Zheng and Jia's suffering with him, so he nodded immediately.

"Blame me. I was too excited. You are right. Find a place to settle down first."

Hearing what Han Yueer said, several people breathed a sigh of relief, Zheng Xiong quickly adjusted his direction and headed towards the state capital.

Far away from the mountains and forests, Zheng Xiong relaxed a lot, the feeling of being like a light on his back was really uncomfortable.

The news of Zhizhou is very well-informed, and Zheng Xiong waited at the gate of the city early before he arrived near the city.

When Zheng Xiong's carriage arrived, he hurriedly brought the state government officials to salute Zheng Xiong.

The ceremonial guard sent by Lao Zhu was too ostentatious, and this was the case all the way. Zheng Xiong was used to this scene and didn't take it seriously.

After waving his hand to avoid everyone's salute, he went to the city under the leadership of Zhizhou.

After getting his parents settled, Zheng Xiong followed Zhizhou and others to the state government office.

Without meddling in others' business, Zheng Xiong directly explained his intention after taking the main seat.

"The Marquis came here today just to accompany my mother to find relatives."

"In the early years, my mother lived in Lu'an Prefecture, and there were three sisters in the family. Please show me and look for it."

"If I can find out, I will be very grateful."

"Don't dare. I am honored to do things for Lord Hou. This is a trivial matter. When clues are found, I will definitely report to Lord Hou."

The right to not use, expired and void.

Although he lost his official position, no one dared to underestimate a Marquis, so he showed a [-]-point attitude.

He would rather put aside the affairs of the state government for now, and try his best to search for Zheng Xiong.

Zheng Xiong specially went to the state government office to talk about this matter, and then waited for the news with peace of mind. A person's ability is limited, and Zheng Xiong doesn't want to waste his brains on things that can be done collectively.
