Chapter 244 Immortals are watching
Shopkeeper Niu found Qiao Mai, "Master, do we want to stockpile food?"
"No, let's take a look first, no matter how bad the beard is, he won't be able to defeat the Ming Dynasty, let him die!"
"Master, I don't know why, but after listening to you, my subordinates feel much more at ease."
"Do as you want to do business, don't worry"
"yes"
In August, the battle for Beiguan finally started. Hu Zi was very vicious and almost captured the city several times. If it wasn’t for those soldiers who defended desperately, Hu Zi would have already entered the pass.
Yuan Jiaqi never came back after the war, so he wrote a letter and sent it to his home.
Qiao Mai saw the raised eyebrows and asked her to help get some medicinal materials.
Well, you can have this. There are a lot of medicinal materials. She hired a lot of ox carts and horse-drawn carts in the town to transport the medicinal materials there non-stop.
Beiguan was fighting, and the injured were sent to She County. Yuan Jiaqi was the county magistrate, so he naturally had to take over.
It’s just such a poor county, and medicinal materials alone are a big expenditure.
Fortunately, there is Qiao Mai as a cheating device, otherwise, he really has nothing to do.
Qiao Mai sneaked a look at it at night. All the pharmacies and medical clinics in Shexian County have been requisitioned by the imperial court. Even the county government office and the county magistrate's house are full of wounded patients.
The tired doctor couldn't straighten his waist, which shows how heavy the casualties were.
Then she quietly went to Beiguan again, which was really unbelievable. After fighting for a month, the soldiers in Beiguan were almost wiped out.
The rest are old, weak, sick and disabled. This battle can no longer be fought.
She crossed the wall and went straight to Beard's camp.
I saw them lighting a bonfire, eating barbecue, drinking fine wine and laughing.
Qiao Mai's figure appeared in front of the tent, and immediately someone with a big knife surrounded her. Qiao Mai's coercion and a wave of air directly made these people fly backwards for more than ten meters.
The leader of the Hu people didn't eat or drink at this time. He stood up and looked Qiao Mai up and down.
"Who are you?"
"The one who can kill you"
"Hmph, the one who killed Lao Tzu hasn't been born yet"
As soon as Qiao Mai stretched out her palm, the big Hu leader was sucked over by her.
His palm was pinched on the neck, "Can it be killed?"
The others were all sober, and they were about to come up one by one, but they didn't even have a chance to get close, and they all flew out like the previous people.
The leader of the Hu people looked at Qiao Mai, "Your Excellency, you didn't come here to kill me, did you?"
"I can slaughter you Hu people, and make you extinct from Beiguan"
"You, who the **** are you?"
"The people of the Ming Dynasty, I don't want to see people die, so you are not allowed to use force against the Ming Dynasty within a hundred years."
"Huh, that position has always been occupied by those who can, why can't I?"
"Because you are unlucky, because I can kill you now, don't you believe it?"
Qiao Mai strangled his neck with one hand, and lifted the other lightly. A man who had just struggled to get up had his throat cut.
The people present were all terrified.
"Now do you believe what I said?"
"you"
"Within a hundred years, you are not allowed to attack the Ming Dynasty, otherwise, I will slaughter all your barbarians, and I will do what I say"
With such a light flick of Qiao Mai's slender wrist, the leader of the Hu people was thrown away.
After finishing speaking, Qiao Mai disappeared in a flash, and the barbarians were all stunned, "Brother, shall we fight tomorrow or not?"
"Naturally, yes, no more beatings, who of you can beat her?"
"I"
"It seems that what she said didn't sound like a joke. Really, we didn't bother with this matter a few days ago, and now we are about to attack, and this incident happened again."
"Okay, take the body of the third child, let's withdraw our troops now"
"Are you really afraid of her?"
"Do you dare to gamble with the lives of your family?"
"I"
Just like that, the Hu people actually retreated that night.
The soldiers at Beiguan wanted to come and die with the enemy the next day, but they didn’t expect to go up to the city wall and see, I’m so obedient.
What about the enemy? Where are the enemies?
Withdrawn overnight? It's unbelievable, it's clear that they are in sight of victory, what went wrong?
The fighting stopped in early September, for no apparent reason.
After the old emperor knew about this, he was also puzzled. Suddenly his eyes lit up. Could it be that fairy?
Is she protecting the Ming Dynasty? When the old emperor thought of this, his body surged with strong power.
Great, with such a god, why worry that the Ming Dynasty is not prosperous?
On the one hand, he had people arrange the disabled soldiers, on the other hand, he continued to dig the river channel, and he must not give up halfway, the gods are watching.
He was busy piously kneeling on the ground, clasped his hands together, prayed and thanked.
Qiao Mai felt a power lingering all over her body. She felt incredible. This kind of power made her very comfortable and enjoyable.
So he told Xiaoqing about this, and Xiaoqing circled around her excitedly. ,
"Master, this is the power of faith, someone has begun to believe in you"
"trust me?"
"right"
Qiao Mai thought for a while, it couldn't be the beard, hating herself is almost the same, the letter is ignored, if the old emperor is the only one who knows her existence in this world, did he accidentally gain the old emperor's faith?
Qiao Mai pursed her lips with disdain, Xiaoqing quickly explained to her,
"The power of faith can save the master a lot of detours on the way of cultivation, so you have to pay attention to it"
"let it go"
The war is over, and she doesn't have to transport herbs anymore. The old emperor gave the soldiers generous pensions, and those who could be resettled back home were sent home.
Those who died on the battlefield also sent money home.
The Yuan family made their own decisions, leaving behind a group of homeless and disabled soldiers, and sent people to build houses for them by the woods and let them guard the pine forest.
This time, hundreds of people were raised again, Qiao Mai sighed.
He is righteous, but he is the one who pays the money, which is called being poor and generous.
After returning, Yuan Jiaqi was still too embarrassed to tell Qiao Mai, but thinking of raising hundreds of people, he still had the cheek to say it.
"Miss, I arranged them all to the edge of the woods, and it doesn't cost much money"
"No need? It doesn't cost money to build a house? Or it doesn't cost money to eat, drink, and pay?"
"Yes, I'm sorry, my husband watched them fight for the country, and it became like that, I really can't bear it"
"Okay, it's already settled, so let's do it, let me know next time"
"OK"
The old emperor was really relieved after getting Yuan Jiaqi to contribute money and medicine for this battle, and decided to train him for a few more years.
Decreed to promote him to a fifth-rank official, temporarily in charge of Shexian County, and he was not allowed to leave without a transfer order.
To put it bluntly, he is still a county magistrate, but with a higher rank.
Tian Sanzhuang was angry for a long time after hearing this, and now it is even more difficult to take revenge on the Qiao family.
At the same time, he was also thankful that he was demobilized early and returned home, otherwise he would be the one missing arms and legs this time.
In March, his wife gave birth to a fat boy, and now he has no status in the family. He is ordered around by his wife every day, and he dare not have any opinions.
When did the other Tian family suffer from such uselessness?
But now he has to suffer again, the county magistrate can't afford to offend him, and seeing Qiao's house getting smaller and smaller, he feels as uncomfortable as a cat scratching.
I think back then, when Mrs. Qiao came to her house, she told her to face east but not west, and told her to scold her for not beating chickens. She was very obedient.
When the five-year soldier came back, everything was turned upside down, and he became a grandson.
If it weren't for his wife giving birth to a son, he really wanted to quit his official post and go home to farm, he was so aggrieved.
Whenever this happens, he thinks of Qiao Mai, how happy is her family life?
Eat well, dress well, and have status in the family. Now in the Acropolis, there is no one to provoke.
When will I be next to someone who is rich and powerful? At that time, we will also be ashamed!
I'm sorry, but the two chapters of today's update didn't work out, because I'm feeling sick all over, I almost have to write a leave note.
