Chapter 1132 Return to Tongnan Town

She thought that after one year, the obedient pill would lose its effect and she would finally be able to have a happy ending. However, she found that the severe pain every month was still with her and there was no relief at all.

On this day of every month, the Queen of Xiliang would dismiss her attendants and curl up in her bedroom, waiting for the long, severe pain to pass.

Half a year passed like this. Unable to bear the pain any longer, she brought a delegation to the territory of Dai Viet again, offering Xiliang's submission to Dai Viet in exchange for an antidote.

During this year and a half, Qiao Ran brought his entire family and led the Dai Yue Navy Battalion to Manju Island again.

Unlike last time when he only brought a dozen secret guards, this time, Emperor Jingwu also sent a team of a thousand people to accompany him for protection.

This team of a thousand people is none other than Qiao Dong's team, who has been promoted to captain of a thousand men.

Qiao Dong felt very happy and proud to be able to follow his elder sister and father to the place where his father had lived for several years, and to serve as the captain of the guard to protect the family.

Not to mention how conspicuous this group of more than a thousand people marching on the road was, and how much sensation and speculation it caused.

When the team of more than a thousand cavalry and ten carriages arrived at Tongnan Town, the whole town was alarmed.

When they heard that Miss Qiao and her family were visiting their small town, everyone rushed to tell each other, and almost everyone rushed to the street with their families to welcome their benefactor.

Seeing the enthusiasm of the people here, the Qiao family was also very moved.

However, they have already understood the situation here and realized that it was Qiao Ran and Mo Beihan who led the people to suppress the Japanese bandits and restore peace to the town. The gratitude of the people is understandable.

After not seeing him for over a year, Liu Wenzhang, who has been officially promoted from acting mayor to mayor, looks much more mature. He is elegant yet dignified, and truly has the bearing of a town chief.

When he saw the girl he loved again, Liu Wenzhang's eyes were filled with excitement and regret, but there was no longer that kind of passionate love.

He had already understood that he, a commoner who grew up in a seaside fishing town, was not worthy of the wealthy and capable Miss Qiao.

Besides, she is always accompanied by Mr. Mo, a favored child of heaven.

I heard that he is already a prince, and he and she are the most suitable match. How dare I have such desires?

"Miss Qiao, Your Majesty, you have come a long way and must have worked hard! The villagers have prepared wine and food for us, please take your place!"

Liu Wenzhang respectfully invited everyone to take their seats.

The banquet was still held on the street. The villagers were a little restrained at first because the status of these two people was much more noble than the last time they came. They didn't know whether Miss Qiao and Mr. Mo were still as approachable as before.

Fortunately, neither of them has changed, and they are still the original Miss Qiao and Mr. Mo without any airs!

Coupled with the friendliness and easy-going nature of the Qiao family, everyone quickly became friends and started chatting about family matters like fellow villagers.

"Mayor Liu, is Tongnan Town peaceful these days?"

Mo Beihan asked with concern.

Liu Wenzhang quickly put down his chopsticks and stood up to answer.

Mo Beihan waved his hand quickly:

"No need to be so polite, just get along like last time."

Liu Wenzhang hurriedly thanked him, sat down and replied:

"Your Highness, ever since you and Miss Qiao led us to suppress the bandits last time, this area has been peaceful. Even some of the bandits who had taken over the mountains have moved away. We have lived and worked in peace and contentment for the past year. Everyone remembers your kindness and has contributed money to build a shrine for you and enshrine a longevity tablet. People often go there to burn incense and pray for you two."
