Chapter 363 New Power
Yao Jia naturally knew that this old acquaintance was Jiang Sirong. Before An He came, she had received the news from Hongying.
The general who escorted Xiao Fengli and his party to the extremely cold place this time was Zhang Ding. Gu Xiyan was afraid that he could not handle it, so he asked Hongying to follow them all the way.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Sirong took the wrong boat while enjoying the scenery of Daxia, and met Hongying who was following the group from a distance.
I might as well follow Hongying and observe the miserable state of Xiao Fengli in the team.
I didn't expect that this would make me feel better than just looking at the scenery.
Seeing that Xiao Fengli ate poorly, she hunted game from the nearby mountains and forests, roasted it, and squatted not far from Xiao Fengli, eating it with relish.
Xiao Fengli had been fed human flesh by Song Wei before, and was already extremely terrified of meat. But when he looked at her face and saw her eating it with relish, he vomited almost to death.
Prisoners have three meals a day at regular times and in fixed quantities. Given his current status and position, as well as the hatred that his accomplices have shown towards him, naturally no one would share their food with him.
He was so hungry that he felt dizzy and dazed after a few days. He wanted to die when he saw Jiang Sirong. He was driven crazy and cut his palms to bleed and poison the jailers.
Unexpectedly, he failed to escape and was shot in the penis by an arrow.
Yao Jia couldn't help but sigh.
"Jiang Sirong's revenge is really unique."
"Yeah." An He couldn't help but admire.
"But having said that, Xiao Fengli's current situation is his own fault. It's just a pity for those innocent jailers who suffered such an unprovoked disaster."
Yao Jia nodded. If he had not been so cruel to Jiang Sirong in the beginning, Jiang Sirong might not have turned against him.
I vaguely remember Hongying saying that after her guidance, Jiang Sirong's archery skills have reached the level of hitting the target from a hundred paces away.
Yao Jia couldn't help but suspect that she deliberately shot the arrow at Xiao Fengli.
A few days later, An He brought news that Xiao Fengli had died on the way to exile due to a ruptured anus.
Yao Jia chuckled, she knew much more details than An He.
Xiao Fengli failed to escape and killed several jailers, so naturally he would not end up well.
Because Jiang Sirong deliberately revealed Xiao Fengli's life experience, those accomplices who were exiled because of him learned that the person they had followed for a long time was actually a fake prince. In addition, with the ascension of the new emperor, there was no hope for them to turn things around.
In a rage, he vented all his resentment on Xiao Fengli. Zhang Ding hoped that they would have an internal conflict. Once Xiao Fengli died, it would be a perfect opportunity for him to eliminate all these people.
At the end of the letter, Hongying informed her of Jiang Sirong's death, which happened the day after Xiao Fengli's death. She passed away peacefully and also left a letter for Hongying, thanking her for her care all the time.
He also asked Hongying to take care of her funeral and find a beautiful place to bury her properly.
When Yao Jia saw this, she curled her lips and thought that Jiang Sirong really hasn't changed.
Jiang Sirong asked Hongying to bury Xiao Fengli's body under her coffin. She wanted to suppress Xiao Fengli for the rest of his life. Even if he was reincarnated, he would be suppressed by her and suffer her torture.
Yao Jia sighed for a long time, until the day when Nangong Xiu Lan and Lang Yue returned.
Early in the morning, Yao Jia went to the city gate accompanied by Shuanghua.
The sun is just right, the breeze is not dry.
Just when Yao Jia was falling asleep due to the sun, the distant sound of Tianxing Pavilion disciples chanting the Sutra of All Things floated from afar, like the morning bell and evening drum, awakening the sleeping earth and also awakening the expectations in Yao Jia's heart.
As if they knew Yao Jia would come to greet them today, Nangong Xiu Lan and Lang Yue had already lifted the curtain and were looking towards the city gate.
When he saw the green figure, if he wasn't concerned about his identity, Nangong Xiu Lan really wanted to jump off the carriage and hug Yao Jia in his arms.
While he was thinking, there was a "whoosh" sound beside him, and Lang Yue had already stepped towards Yao Jia's direction using light skills.
Nangong Xiu Lan cursed inwardly, thinking that the brat was so disloyal that he dared to compete with him for favor.
Then he flew out of the carriage without caring about his image, following Langyue. The two of them landed in front of Yaojia almost at the same time, causing exclamations from the people around them.
Yao Jia was also shocked by Nangong Xiu Lan's abnormal behavior today, but after a change of mind, she felt that it was reasonable.
He is Lanlan now.
"Welcome home, Lanlan and Langyue. Did you have a smooth journey?"
Nangong Xiulan nodded, "It went very smoothly." He stepped forward and gently embraced Yao Jia in his arms, "Where's your wife? Did the baby bother you?"
Yao Jia felt Nangong Xiu Lan's warm embrace, and her heart was filled with indescribable peace and joy.
She left his embrace, took his hand, and placed it on her belly, which was not yet bulging. "The baby is very well behaved and not making much noise. But it makes me, as a mother, miss you often."
There was some tenderness and smile in Yao Jia's voice as she gently stroked her belly, as if she was sharing the joy with the baby in her belly.
Nangong Xiulan's willow-leaf eyes were filled with ripples of happiness as she stared into Yao Jia's eyes, "My lady, you have worked hard."
Langyue on the side was not willing to be left behind. He took a step forward and took Yaojia's other hand.
"Yaoyao, you don't know how excited I was when I heard that you were pregnant. I wished I could grow a pair of wings and fly back. But on the way, I had to follow Lan Zhengjun to select disciples. Sigh..."
"Selecting disciples?" Yao Jia looked at Nangong Xiu Lan in confusion.
Nangong Xiu Lan pointed at the carriage of Nangong Mansion not far away and motioned everyone to get on the carriage first.
In the carriage, Nangong Xiu Lan told Yao Jia why he selected his disciples.
"In fact, before I went to Qilian County, I had already calculated the future of the Nangong family. The reason I didn't tell you was because I considered that some things require you to explore and experience them personally in order to get the most correct answer."
Get the most correct answer.
Yao Jia stared at Nangong Xiu Lan steadily, "You have already figured out what my answer is, so you decided to find a new successor?"
Nangong Xiu Lan lowered his eyes and looked at her with relief in his eyes.
"I didn't calculate it completely, but I had a premonition of the decision you were about to face and the future direction of the Tianxing Pavilion. I know very well that as the Pavilion Master, this is a responsibility you will never get rid of. Even if you have to leave, you should cultivate some new forces for the Tianxing Pavilion."
Yao Jia's heart was moved. He agreed to leave here, but...
"I plan to leave after I give birth to the baby. Isn't it too rushed to hand over everything to your newly chosen disciple?"
Nangong Xiulan smiled and said, "Who said we have to teach him skills all at once? Keep him with you. After he becomes a disciple, I will pass on the position of the Great God of Destiny to him and send him back to the Tianxing Pavilion."
Yao Jia was both amused and confused when she heard this. She lowered her head and said to the baby in her belly, "Did you hear that, little one? Your daddy won't force you to study anymore. You have it a lot easier now than when mom was little."
Shuanghua laughed at her, "Why? Do you think you didn't have an easy childhood? When you were in Jiangnan, except for the time when Master's wife came back to read, Master never urged you to do that."
Yao Jia smiled and agreed repeatedly.
The carriage was moving slowly along the busy street, with crowds of people bustling about. From time to time, the sounds of hawking and the aroma of food could be heard entering the carriage.
Especially when she smelled the aroma of scallion pancakes, Yao Jia's appetite was instantly aroused and she couldn't help swallowing.
"What should I do? My child is greedy and wants to eat scallion pancakes."
Shuanghua chuckled and reached out to scratch her nose, "Is it you who is greedy, or is it the baby in your belly who is greedy?"
Having said that, she still asked the coachman to stop the carriage aside and get off to buy it for her.
Soon, he came back with a few packs of steaming scallion pancakes, and the carriage was immediately filled with enticing aroma.
Yao Jia took a piece and took a light bite. The crispy outer skin wrapped around the fragrant filling. She couldn't help but squint her eyes with a look of satisfaction.
After eating a scallion pancake, Yao Jia felt greasy again and wanted to eat something sour to relieve the greasy feeling.
When I opened the box of candied fruits in the carriage, I found that there were only a few candied fruits left in it.
Fortunately, there was a very popular candied fruit shop on the next street, so Shuanghua asked the coachman to drive the carriage over there.
Unexpectedly, the street was blocked by people who came to watch the Tianxing Pavilion team.
"How about this, the two gentlemen take Yaoyao back first, and I'll go buy some candied fruit." Lang Yue suggested.
The two knew that Langyue had always understood Yaojia's taste, and considering that this place was not far from Nangong Mansion and it would be inconvenient for Yaojia to stay outside for too long while pregnant, they agreed.
In this way, the troops were divided into two groups. The carriage went back along the small path in the alley beside the street, while Lang Yue shuttled through the bustling crowd. Relying on his agility in light kung fu, he quickly avoided the congested streets and came to the shop.
Fortunately, the Great Sima of Tianxing Pavilion returned today with his disciples, and everyone went to watch. It was rare to see so few customers in the shop.
Langyue quickly selected several of Yaojia’s favorite candied fruits.
"Sir, this is a new product, mango sauce, that has just been released. If your wife likes candied fruit, she will definitely like this. Please try it."
Lang Yue smiled and took the new flavor of mango sauce handed to him by the store owner. He put it to his nose and sniffed it. The sour and sweet aroma made him drool. He nodded, thinking that Yao Jia would definitely like this new taste.
After paying the money, he prepared to leave.
However, when they turned around to leave, the two middle-aged men were squeezed into the store by the crowd.
Lang Yue was stunned for a moment after seeing the appearance of the two middle-aged men.
After the two men steadied themselves, the older one of them looked back at the crazy people who were slowly following the Tianxing Pavilion team forward and snorted coldly.
"I really don't know what's so great about the Tianxing Pavilion. Everyone is covering their faces, and yet it can still attract such enthusiasm from the people. I... I haven't seen them so crazy since I came out before."
The man next to him chuckled and said, "Look at what you said. You were so precious when you came out. Who would dare to stand and look up? Besides, how old are you and how old are they? Who would have the time to look at an old man?"
"You..." Feeling offended, the older man was about to retort, but when he turned around, he saw Lang Yue staring at them intently, with complex emotions flashing in his bright eyes.
The man was slightly stunned, looked at the Tianxin Pavilion team passing by outside, and then looked at Langyue.
"Langyue, why are you here?"
