When Xiaowu heard this, he ran to the man and asked, "What did you say?"

"Someone is coming to our side. We are only about five kilometers away from the foot of the mountain."

When Elder Chen heard this, he quickly looked at Xiao Wu and said, "Go and call your senior brother."

After hearing this, Xiaowu turned around and went to find Leng Huaiyi, then walked towards the foot of the mountain.

Leng Huaiyi came to the foot of the mountain and looked at Old Chen: "Master, are you here to steal food?"

Old Chen shook his head. "I don't know. They said a group of people came."

Leng Huaiyi nodded, "Then I will arrange for people to prepare weapons and set up an ambush in advance."

Elder Chen nodded, "Okay, Xiaowu, take your senior brother to have a look, and make some changes if there's anything wrong."

Before, these things were all taught to Xiaowu by Old Chen, but to be honest, Old Chen’s martial arts were okay, but his military strategy was definitely not as good as Leng Huaiyi’s.

Now that Leng Huaiyi is here, Old Chen has simply become a hands-off boss.

Even Xiaowu has now been handed over to Leng Huaiyi, under the pretext of improving the relationship between fellow disciples.

After everyone adjusted their positions, a group of people came from a distance. Leng Huaiyi looked at the number of people in the distance and looked at everyone, "Don't do anything yet, they don't look like people who are here to steal food."

Xiao Wu looked into the distance and nodded, "Yes, there were more than a hundred people when they were robbing food before, but now it seems that there are only 20 to 30 people, and there are women among them."

As they got closer, Leng Huaiyi finally saw the figure of the person coming.

Looking at Old Chen, he said excitedly: "Master, it seems to be my father and others."

As soon as these words were spoken, Old Chen also became excited. He hurriedly took a few steps forward, but because of his age, he could not see clearly.

"Huaiyi, hurry up, go and have a look."

Leng Huaiyi nodded and ran forward quickly. When everyone heard that it was General Leng, they were all shocked.

"Is it really General Leng?"

"If it is really him, then the new emperor is a tyrant."

"Be careful. He has ascended the throne after all. Wouldn't it be disrespectful to the monarch to say this?"

Hearing this, the man sneered, "I am loyal to a wise king. I worked hard to become an official so that I could help the people get justice, but I didn't expect the court to be so muddy."

Zhao Yan glanced at the man after hearing this and said, "If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. No matter where you are, there will always be corrupt officials and people who exercise power."

The man nodded. "I know, but if a king can't tell right from wrong, is he still worthy of being an emperor?"

After the man finished speaking, he said angrily: “The people all know how much the Leng family has paid to guard the border.

But you see, as soon as he ascended the throne, he was not thinking about how to stabilize the court, but about taking back all the power.

He promoted all the officials who followed his lead, and exiled all those who disobeyed him. Tell me, is there anything worthy of my loyalty to such a person?"

Everyone fell silent after hearing what the man said. Yes, almost all of them were framed and exiled here because they had offended the powerful.

But the exile of the Leng and Song families must have been the order of the new emperor. Judging from this incident alone, it was not the act of a wise ruler.

Seeing that everyone was not in a good mood, Xiao Wu said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine in the future. After all, we still have Her Royal Highness the Princess."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Xiao Wu, with disbelief in their eyes.

"Xiaowu, what do you mean by this?"

"Yes, if King Xiaoyao can ascend the throne, then something must have happened to Her Highness the Princess."

"Yes, I went to the store to buy something that day, and saw the official coming to collect the rent. He said that the princess had passed away due to illness, and the ministers had no choice but to let King Xiaoyao ascend the throne."

Xiao Wu listened to everyone's discussion and said, "Okay, everyone, stop talking."

When everyone saw Xiaowu speaking, they all shut up, and only those who knew the truth looked at each other.

Xiaowu looked at their reactions, a hint of suspicion flashed across his eyes, but he quickly recovered his composure.

At this moment, Leng Huaiyi had already arrived in front of General Leng and the others. After seeing that his father had suddenly aged a lot, tears welled up in Leng Huaiyi's eyes.

Leng Shaobin looked at his eldest son and patted his shoulder with relief when he saw that he hadn't changed much except that he was thinner.

"We saw the mark you left and came all the way here."

Leng Huaiyi took the things from General Leng and said happily, "Let's go home."

When Leng Huaiyi turned his head to look at Leng Huaizhong behind him, he was stunned for a moment.

"Old Master Murong?"

Old Master Murong looked at Leng Huaiyi and smiled, "General Leng, how are you these days?"

"Okay, everything is fine."

Just when Leng Huaiyi was about to say something else, he heard someone shouting in the distance: "Brother, the master wants you to go back quickly."

"understood."

Leng Huaiyi finished speaking and looked at everyone, "Then let's go back first and talk about it when we get back."

When Old Chen looked at the person brought back by Leng Huaiyi, his eyes instantly turned red.

"Brother, it really is you."

Leng Shaobin didn't expect to see him here, and his eyes instantly turned red.

When Old Chen saw Zhou Zheng, he laughed out loud, "I was just thinking, if my brother came, then you would definitely come too. You really didn't disappoint me, Old Zhou."

Zhou Zheng looked at the tears in his eyes and nodded, "I told the general that if he doesn't let me follow him, I will follow him even if I become a ghost.

The general was afraid, so he brought me along."

Mr. Chen: "Hahaha, Lao Zhou, you are still the best."

Seeing that everyone had gathered together, Xiao Wu said, "Master, let's go back first."

Elder Chen nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back first and talk about it when we get back."

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Xiao Wu was about to ask Old Chen how to settle down, but he heard Old Chen say, "Go ask your senior brother. I want to catch up with my elder brother."

So Xiao Wu ran to ask Leng Huaiyi. Leng Huaiyi looked at everyone and said, "Whoever has a vacant house, just settle there first. My family and Mr. Fu can go back with us."

When Xiao Wu heard this, he frowned and said, "Brother, you only have one room, which can't accommodate so many people."

"It's okay, we can just sleep on the floor when the time comes. Okay, go down and make the arrangements.

The house will be finished soon, so just make do with it for the next two days."

Xiaowu nodded after hearing this and began to arrange people.

When Leng Huaiyi led everyone back, Old Lady Song happened to be at home. Seeing Leng Huaiyi bringing so many people back, she asked, "My dear, what is this?"

When everyone heard the word "in-law", they all looked at Leng Huaiyi and thought, did Haohui find a wife so quickly?

Leng Huaiyi looked at Old Lady Song and introduced them: “These are all my family members.

This is my father, this is my second brother, this is Uncle Zhou, my nephew, and this is old Master Murong."

After Old Lady Song greeted everyone, she looked at Ren Huaizhong and said, "My dear, you must be tired after walking all the way. Come in and have a rest."
