Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

Zou Tai was a little confused: "What are you doing out of town?"

Mr. Zeng was too lazy to explain to him. He just mentioned the cakes and pushed him out: "Let's go. Let's go first."

Zou Tai was pushed forward: "Hey, Mr. Zeng, please slow down. Don't be anxious. Give me the cakes and I'll carry them for you."

Originally, Zou Tai came here on horseback, but now that Mr. Zeng wanted to accompany him out of the city, he had no choice but to hire a carriage. However, Mr. Zeng was unwilling to do so and insisted that he hire a donkey.

Zou Tai looked embarrassed: "Mr. Zeng, riding a donkey is very dangerous. If it falls, Liang Chen will be struck dead. Please take a carriage."

Zeng Lao glared at him and said, "Why, am I so old that I can't even ride a donkey steadily?"

Zou Tai quickly waved his hand: "No, no, that's not what I meant."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Zou Tai had no choice but to hire a donkey.

It was fine in the city, but once they left the city and reached the area where the victims gathered, everyone was surprised to see Zou Tai, who was riding a tall horse and wearing armor, followed by an old man riding a donkey, and they all looked at them.

Zou Tai was not a timid person, but he felt a little embarrassed to be stared at by so many people. He turned around and asked, "Where are you going, Mr. Zeng? I'll take you there first."

Zeng Lao waved his hand: "Don't bother me, I'll just take a look, you go and do your thing."

How could Zou Tai dare to leave? There were disaster victims all around, all kinds of people. He was afraid that if he left, those people would kidnap Zeng Lao. Didn’t you see how their eyes lit up when they saw the oil-paper package of cakes hanging on the donkey?

But he also had a mission to complete and had to go on patrol, so he could only take Mr. Zeng to gather with his own people first. Although the imperial guards were surprised to see Mr. Zeng, they did not ask much because they were all in a bad mood. Such a big thing had happened in the imperial guards camp and they were afraid of being implicated. After all, this kind of thing was hard to explain, and if someone really targeted them and framed them, they would have no way to defend themselves.

In this way, Zou Tai led the team on patrol, and at the end of the team followed a little donkey, which looked very funny.

Mr. Zeng didn't care what others thought. He was busy looking around, trying to find Su Qin. It was not an easy task to find Su Qin among tens of thousands of people. However, Zhao Liangchen told him last time that he had asked Zou Tai to send a lot of things to Su Qin. Su Qin should not just build a small shack like those disaster victims.

As we walked and looked along, we found that the gathering places of tens of thousands of people were all on the mountains beside the road. There was not much open space on the hillside, so the line was particularly long, several kilometers long.

Finally, when he patrolled to the end, Mr. Zeng saw three tents pitched with oilcloth. He looked around but couldn't see who was inside. After thinking for a while, he suddenly squeezed the donkey's belly and pretended that the donkey was out of control and rushed towards the tents.

Although Zou Tai was paying attention to the victims, he was also keeping an eye on Zeng Lao's movements. When he saw Zeng Lao's little donkey rushing out, he was so scared that he immediately rode his horse to chase after it.

His team was long, and Mr. Zeng was some distance away from him. By the time he went to catch up, Mr. Zeng had already rushed up the hillside.

Zeng Laoda shouted, "Get out of the way! The donkey is frightened."

The victims who were living downstairs were so scared that they all ran away, and no one dared to stop them.

Su Qin, who lived upstairs, was in the tent, talking to Madam Xu and Yun Guoer while making clothes. When she heard the shouting, she felt it looked familiar, so she stuck her head out to see. When she saw Mr. Zeng being carried wildly by a donkey, her heart skipped a beat in shock.

She immediately threw away the things in her hands and rushed out of the tent. She stretched out her hands to stop the donkey, but she couldn't stop it. Just as she was getting anxious, she saw Wang Er also coming out of the tent to check. She immediately shouted, "Wang Er, help!"

Wang Er had no time to react and subconsciously rushed forward and grabbed the donkey's reins tightly. Su Qin also rushed over. Due to inertia, Zeng Lao's donkey seemed to fall forward as soon as it stopped. Su Qin, who was running towards him, was so scared that her heart almost jumped out. Suddenly, a whip came from behind and wrapped around Zeng Lao's waist, pulling him back.

It turned out that Zou Tai had caught up and rolled Zeng back. He jumped off his horse and helped Zeng down, looking anxiously at him: "Are you okay?"

Mr. Zeng wondered what could possibly happen to him, remembering that he used to travel around on a donkey and he was quite good at riding a donkey.

But he couldn't say that, so he pretended to be frightened, patted his chest and gasped, saying: "I was scared to death, luckily that girl came to my rescue, otherwise I would have died here today."

Su Qin, who was called a maid, breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Mr. Zeng was fine. Because she was too frightened, her legs went limp and she sat on the ground.

Everyone present was stunned when they heard what Mr. Zeng said. Aren't they Wang Er and Zou Tai the ones who saved the people? What does it have to do with Guan Suqin?

Zeng Lao didn't care about that. He pushed Zou Tai aside and stepped forward to help Su Qin up: "Girl, are you okay? I was so grateful to you just now. You are my lifesaver."

Su Qin was also confused. Did Mr. Zeng do all this just to give herself the title of savior?

She stood up and looked at the smiling face of Mr. Zeng. Her eyes suddenly felt hot. How could she not understand Mr. Zeng's expression? It was because she understood it that she was moved. An old man who she had only met for two days and called her grandpa a few times, actually acted for her regardless of the danger. How could she not be moved?

She stepped forward to support Zeng Lao and said with tears in her eyes, "Old man, how could you do such a dangerous thing? If you fall, your family will be so distressed."

Zeng Lao coughed a few times and said, "I don't have any family anymore. No one cares about me."

Su Qin muttered softly with red eyes: "I will be distressed. If something happens to you, what will your granddaughter do?"

Zeng Lao felt relieved by Su Qin's words, and he promised with a smile: "I won't do it again next time, I won't do it again."

Zou Tai was also terrified. He walked over and said worriedly, "Mr. Zeng, I'd better take you back to the city. If anything happens to you, I really won't be able to explain it to Liang Chen."

Zeng Lao waved his hand and said, "Go and do your own thing. This girl and I hit it off right away and we have something to talk about."

Zou Tai was a little embarrassed: "But, I can't stay here with you all the time, I'm worried."

Zeng Lao: "What are you worried about? I'm an old man, how can I get lost? Let's go quickly and don't get in the way here."

Zou Tai looked at Su Qin with an embarrassed look on his face, hoping that she would persuade Mr. Zeng. Even if he was stupid, he could see that Mr. Zeng seemed to be targeting Su Qin.

Su Qin knew that Zeng Lao had come here with great difficulty and would not go back so easily, so she could only say to Zou Tai: "Master Zou, I think this old man must have been quite frightened. Please let him rest here with me, and come back to pick him up after you finish your patrol."

Zou Tai had dealt with Su Qin twice and knew she was reliable. After hesitating for a while, he finally nodded in agreement. He said to Zeng Lao, "Then you can rest here for a while and don't go anywhere. I'll take you back to the city later."

Zeng Lao waved him away and said, "I understand. Let's go. Why are you so nagging at such a young age?"

Only then did Zou Tai walk away, looking back every few steps.

Su Qin looked around at the eyes looking over here, as well as Wang Er and the Xu family standing nearby, and winked at Mr. Zeng.

Zeng Lao looked around and said with a smile, "I'm sorry to bother you all. I was a little frightened and wanted to rest here."

He looked at Wang Er again and said, "Young man, thank you for rescuing me just now. Please help me tie up the donkey and take down the things on it."

Wang Er was not unhappy because Mr. Zeng said Su Qin was his savior. He tied up the donkey and took the things on its back and handed them to Mr. Zeng.

Zeng Lao looked around and estimated the number of people, then accepted the box of mooncakes and a bag of brown sugar that Zhao Liangchen had given him and said, "I'm sorry to have disturbed everyone. Please, little brother, distribute these cakes to the frightened children around here."

Wang Er was a little surprised. So many pastries were given to others?

He looked at Su Qin, and when he saw Su Qin nodded, he thanked her, "Then I would like to thank you on behalf of everyone else."

Wang Er took the cakes and went to distribute them. When the people around saw that there was food, they all gathered around Wang Er. Su Qin helped Zeng Lao into her tent and let him sit on a wooden stool before asking, "Grandpa, why are you here?"
