C491 Go Home
Yao Fugui chuckled and said, "Consider yourself a kid who knows how to speak! Quickly give this old man a reward. One hundred taels of silver per person. Take a look at how many people they have in total, one, two, three... Eleven, a total of eleven. Oh, no, twelve. Hehe, thirteen. Don't be afraid, kid. I won't ask you to pay for it. I just want you to pay for me. 'I'll put it on your head. When the time comes, I'll just take it back.' Hurry up and get the banknotes! "
Wan Changqing hurriedly said, "Yes, I will go right now. What other instructions does your esteemed elder have?"
Yao Fugui was too lazy to look at Wan Changqing again. He waved at him and said impatiently, "Go, go. If there is anything, I will ask you to do it."
Wan Changqing quickly left, but Yao Fugui still said happily, "My wives, let's go home! Hehe!" After saying that, Yao Fugui finally moved his eyes away from the girls. He turned around and shouted, "Let's go home!" As he said that, Yao Fugui stretched out his hand and twisted Du Qi. After letting out a strange laugh, he walked towards the river with Du Qi in his arms. The girls, Ren Dongming, Qi Sha, and the others quickly followed behind them.
Occasionally, when they turned around to look, they would see twenty or thirty experts suddenly appear behind them. They stopped the rest of the people from advancing. Obviously, these people were the ones who had been secretly protecting Du Qi. When the men who were standing by the river bank saw Du Qi, Yao Fugui and the others coming over, they immediately stood on both sides of the river. They told Du Qi and the others to go straight to the river bank and board the ferry.
Du Qi saw that some of the people guarding at the riverside were disciples of the Camel Horse Gang, and some were martial arts masters that he did not know. The governor and garrison of Xiangyang had also brought their important members along with them to welcome Du Qi's return. Du Qi had wanted to greet the governor and the garrison. However, he was forcefully pulled by Yao Fugui to the ferry. Du Qi could only give a helpless bitter smile to Chen Kangtai, Zhang Yingju and the rest of the people in the governor's mansion. Chen Kangtai, Zhang Yingju, and the people on both sides looked as if they were being inspected by Du Qi.
Standing on the deck and looking around, they saw that the other ships were parked far away on the shore of the upper and lower reaches. The river surface that originally came and went was actually empty, and not even a shadow of a ship could be seen on the other side of the river.
As soon as Du Qi and the others boarded the ferry, the sailors who were ready to go let out a shocking shout. The ferry floated to the center of the river and sailed to the other side.
Seeing that Du Qi's ship had already set sail, the people who were waiting by the river to welcome him each boarded two warships. They followed behind Du Qi's ship, and the other ships were still parked at the riverside without any signs of setting sail. Seeing that they were about to reach the shore, the two warships behind Du Qi suddenly accelerated. Before Du Qi could reach the shore, fifty to sixty martial arts masters rushed out and stood on both sides of the road. They carried Du Qi and the others who just got off the ship and headed towards Xiangyang.
Not far in front of them, there were already people cleaning up the pedestrians on the road. It was only after Du Qi and the others had gone over that they returned to normal. Even if there were people who wanted to assassinate Du Qi, there was no chance at all. Under such strict security, if someone still wanted to harm Du Qi... It was definitely a wishful thinking.
Du Qi looked around and saw that other than the martial arts masters who were following him, it seemed like... A considerable number of people are secretly protecting him. Du Qi did not expect that so many people would be used to protect his own safety. Moreover, it was so grand. At that time, he could not help but feel a strong sense of gratitude. He secretly made up his mind to do his best to complete the Yellow Emperor's last will and maintain the orthodoxy of the world!
Since the start of the journey, Yao Fugui had been telling Du Qi everything he saw along the way, including which place had changed, which place was still the same, which place was the most unforgettable, which place was the most worth remembering, and so on and so forth.
When he heard Yao Fugui's rough words, and what he felt in his heart, Du Qi immediately felt very happy. He recalled what he had done with Yao Fugui in those places. Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Du Qi felt distant and warm at the same time. He felt even more emotional. He really wished he could get rid of everyone and relive his past life with Yao Fugui.
After entering the city, Yao Fugui seemed even more excited. He pulled Du Qi along and ran towards the Du Mansion. He said happily, "I didn't expect that so many of you would come back all of a sudden. I still haven't made enough preparations. However, if you squeeze a little, you can still barely make it. Hehe! Look, we're almost there! "
Du Qi looked towards the source of the sound and saw that the weeds and thorns in his house had long been cleared. There were no signs of disaster. There were three brand new houses next to the stone house he used to live in. Each house had six rows and five rooms, and there was a large door in the middle. There were two ear rooms on both sides of the hall, and the other areas had already been repaired and flat. The mansion was surrounded by fully armed soldiers to ensure Du Qi's safety.
Under Yao Fugui's pulling, Du Qi was about to step into the wall formed by the soldiers when he suddenly heard someone shouting from the bushes, "Kitten knife - repair scissors -"
Du Qi looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man in his forties. The thin man in ragged clothes carried a burden made of a long bench. A long whetstone was fixed at one end of the bench with an iron bar. There was a small iron bucket filled with clear water hanging on the foot of the bench. A small iron bucket was tied upside down to the mouth of the bucket. On the other end of the bucket was an old and worn cloth bag. It looked like it was filled with objects.
Seeing Du Qi looking at him, the man shouted again, "Kitten knife - repair scissors -" As if he was frightened, the burden on his shoulder suddenly fell. The man struggled for a while and finally did not let the burden fall to the ground. The man carried the burden again and seemed to want to squeeze towards Du Qi. However, he was stopped by two or three people. Seeing the man's movement, Du Qi could not help but have a thought. He suddenly stopped and was caught off guard. Yao Fugui actually staggered and turned around to knock Du Qi's head. He scolded, "You little bastard, you don't have eyes? Did you just come back and become a hoodlum and want to smash me to death? "
Du Qi quickly smiled and said, "Don't be angry, Uncle Gui, I didn't do it on purpose!"
Yao Fugui still did not give up and said, "It was not on purpose? Then you did it on purpose!"
Du Qi still smiled apologetically and said, "Uncle Gui, so many people are looking at you, old man. If you continue to make noise, it will hurt your image, old man. Do you want to teach this kid a lesson when we go back?"
Yao Fugui held back his laughter and pretended to be angry. He said, "You are quick to see the opportunity. It is good to admit your mistake. I will forgive you this time. If you do this again next time, I will not let you off lightly!"
Du Qi ignored Yao Fugui and called to the man who was sharpening the kitchen knife, "Uncle, is business good?"
