Before confiscating the house and going into exile, he emptied the enemy's warehouses and fled.

Chapter 289 Rewarding the Benefactor

Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Yanyan stayed on the grassland for almost a month.

The Nu Kingdom no longer exists. It only has four counties, which are directly in the hands of Xie Yong and Bao Keke.

Bao Keke said to Xie Yanyan: "Emperor Yan and Emperor Chen, you have finally come here, why don't you help us hold the wedding before you leave?"

Xie Yanyan said with a smile: “Second sister-in-law, it’s too hasty. You should prepare first, stabilize the situation first, fill the rice jars of the people, and then consider your own affairs!”

Enough seeds and food were left behind, as well as two princes, Xie Yong and Yu Shanhe, who stayed temporarily to help Bao Keke.

Bao Keke personally sent Xie Yanyan, Zhou Shaoyu, Xie Anfeng, and Xie Lingyu out of the grassland and to the border of Chang'an County.

In the original border town, Xie Yanyan originally planned to stay there for one night and then find a way to go to Xiliang for reorganization, but he didn't expect to meet an acquaintance.

They did not try to keep a low profile but found the post station first. When the county magistrate heard that the emperor was coming in person, he was very excited.

It turned out that this young county magistrate was an acquaintance from the capital.

He was sent here in the 20th year of Emperor Xuanwen's reign. His name was Zhang He. He was originally the fourth son of the Zhang family. When he was studying in the academy, he was a little rebellious because of his good family background and good grades.

At that time, someone said: "The husband of a county lady is called a county horse, the husband of a county lady is called a county horse, why isn't the husband of a princess called a male horse?"

Zhang He followed suit and made some random comments, which violated the royal taboo and he was almost beheaded.

It was Zhou Shaoyu who pestered Emperor Xuanwen and finally got him a vacancy in the northwest, and he came here to serve as a seventh-rank county magistrate.

In the blink of an eye, it has been seven or eight years.

After Emperor Xuanwen died, Emperor Murong Fenghuang did not do anything to the Zhang family. Everyone continued to do what they were supposed to do.

Murong Fenghuang is bloodthirsty, and the Zhang family doesn't ask him to go back. It is actually safer in remote areas.

Four emperors changed in the blink of an eye!
The conditions at the post station were not very good, so Zhang He begged them to stay at the government office.

"Emperor Yan, Emperor Chen, I have many ideas to report to your majesty."

Xie Yanyan and Zhou Shaoyu had no choice but to go back to the county government office with him, and Bao Keke followed curiously.

Zhou Shaoyu introduced Bao Keke's identity to Zhang He, and Zhang He said, "So you are the newly-appointed Prairie Pearl Prince? My apologies!"

Because they were from adjacent counties, the two had a lot of common topics.

I heard that the entire Nu Kingdom was abolished, and the area south of the Daqing Mountains belonged to Chang'an County, Xie Yong's fiefdom.

Zhang He was very happy: "From now on, we don't have to worry about the endless invasion of iron hooves anymore."

However, when they moved into the county government office, an old man came out and happened to meet Xie Yanyan's eyes. Both of them were a little surprised.

"Emperor Yan? Why are you here?"

"Mr. Chen? Why are you here?"

Zhang He asked curiously, "Ah? Do you know each other?"

Xie Yanyan pointed at Chen Chengyan and said, "The old man saved my second brother."

Zhang He immediately said, "Master Chen is very famous in this area, and the common people have all received his kindness."

During the conversation, I learned that Chen Chengyan and his granddaughter Chen Ruanruan had both gone down the mountain.

Chen Chengyan wants his granddaughter to find a suitable husband, while Chen Runrun wants to follow Xie Yanyan.

"Where's Ruan Ruan?"

"She went to the pharmacy to sit in the clinic."

Zhang He found a wife locally. His father-in-law couldn't stand the pain in his joints, so he asked Chen Chengyan to treat him.

Otherwise they wouldn't have met by chance.

When Chen Chengyan met Xie Yanyan and Xie Anfeng again, he didn't want to miss the chance to marry his granddaughter, so he begged Xie Anfeng on his knees, hoping to marry his children to his.

Bao Keke's eyes rolled around, but she knew she couldn't interrupt. Xie Anfeng said to Chen Chengyan, "Old man, I'm sorry, the Prince of Xiping has already been engaged to the Prince of Mingzhu, so I'm sorry I can't agree to your proposal."

Chen Chengyan slapped his thigh in regret and said, "I should have mentioned this to His Majesty last time. I didn't have the courage to do so last time, fearing that the Emperor and His Majesty would embarrass me and ask for a favor."

Xie Yanyan smiled and said, "Miss Ruanruan thinks so too?"

"She already had this idea when she was taking care of Prince Xiping, but how could the girl dare to bring it up?"

Bao Keke was very nervous. He saved her life? Shouldn't they be together?
Xie Yanyan said to Chen Chengyan: "Master Chen, Miss Ruanruan saved my second brother, so she is the benefactor of my family. If Master Chen and Miss Ruanruan don't mind, they can go back to Xiangyang with me. I have other arrangements."

Chen Chengyan felt a little headache when he thought about Chen Ruanruan following Xie Yanyan.

However, he didn't delay for too long, as Xie Yanyan had something to discuss with Zhang He.

Chen Chengyan saw that although Zhou Shaoyu was not wearing a dragon robe, he had an obvious relationship with Xie Yanyan. He had a strange guess: "Could it be that Emperor Chen also came out with him?"

Xie Yanyan turned to look at Lao Chen and said, "He is indeed the Emperor Chen."

Chen Chengyan was about to faint.

After Chen Ruanruan finished her session, she returned to the courtyard where the grandfather and grandson lived. Seeing that Old Chen had returned, Chen Ruanruan shouted happily, "Grandfather, how are your patients? I saw more than 30 patients in one go today."

Put a bunch of big coins on the table, and my grandfather's favorite roast chicken.

Lao Chen didn't eat either and said nothing.

"Grandfather, what's the matter with you?"

"This time, King Xiping went to the Nu Kingdom with Emperor Yan and found a wife."

Chen Ruanruan's originally happy face suddenly fell: "Are they getting engaged this time?"

"Yes, Prince Mingzhu also came along. I think that girl is a typical grassland girl, not gentle at all, but she has no bad intentions and is straightforward."

The grandparents and grandchildren felt that the chicken was no longer tasty.

However, Ruan Ruan soon smiled: "Grandfather, I said there is no need to rush, right? This shows that fate has not yet arrived."

Although she said she was not sad, Chen Ruanruan still cried with her head covered at night.

She really liked Xie Yong, but the Emperor Emeritus and Emperor Yan had said that they would not take concubines, only wives. She was a step late and missed the opportunity.

The next day, Xie Yanyan asked his guards to summon Chen Chengyan and his grandson to the county government office.

When Chen Chengyan and Chen Ruanruan saw Xie Yanyan again, they were overwhelmed with emotions and kowtowed three times and nine times.

Xie Yanyan said, "Stand up and take a seat. Mr. Chen, I called you here today to ask about your family background. Where did Miss Ruanruan's biological parents go?"

Chen Chengyan was embarrassed for a moment, but he still told the truth.

Chen Ruanruan's father, Chen Jingzong, studied medicine with Chen Chengyan. Like the two of them, he went down the mountain to see patients at every market to earn some money to support his family.

Later, he met Chen Ruanruan's mother, a peasant girl from the mountains. After giving birth to Ruanruan, they would have lived like this. But when Chen Jingzong went down the mountain to see a doctor, he met Guo Xiang, a lady from a wealthy family.

Miss Guo had a heart disease since birth and needed to take good care of herself. After receiving acupuncture treatment from Chen Jingzong, she felt much better and came to see Chen Jingzong every day.

The Guo family was wealthy, but the eldest wife had only one daughter, who was spoiled and treated like a pearl. Guo Xiang didn't like anyone else but Chen Jingzong.

There is no need to say much about what happened later. Chen Jingzong divorced Chen Ruanruan's mother and married into the Guo family.

Chen Ruanruan's mother was abandoned innocently and she was so depressed that she jumped into the river, leaving only the little girl Chen Ruanruan.

After Xie Yanyan and Zhou Shaoyu heard this, they were speechless for a long while. Bao Keke slammed the table and cursed, "This shameless and ungrateful person should be killed with a knife!"

Chen Runrun looked at the girl with thick eyebrows, big eyes and heroic appearance. She had a very likable personality!

Xie Yan looked at the grandfather and grandson for a moment, and said: "Old Chen and Miss Ruanruan saved my relatives, and they also saved the dying and the wounded in the local area. Their contributions are not small. In order to promote... Chen Ruanruan is named the Princess of Jingning County. The Jiuzhou Medical Clinic Chang'an County Branch is established here, and Old Chen is hired as the dean."

"Reward the Chen grandfather and grandson with ten thousand taels of silver and a thousand acres of land..."

Didn't he abandon his wife, daughter and father because he was greedy for wealth?
Let them be richer than the Guo family!
