"Little Brother Mu, this is in Mobei in front of you, I don't know which general your brother is serving under?"

The one who spoke was a man in his forties, I don't know what his real name was, but I heard everyone call him Dong Ye, a heroic and enthusiastic person, and he was the steward of this caravan. ∮ Yan Moxuan ∮ ad-free ∮

After coming out of the garden that day, Shuying and I both dressed up in men's clothes, and I couldn't help but be glad that I didn't have the face of Yun'er, otherwise how could I pretend to be a man.

I glanced at myself and Shuying's appearance, although it was too delicate, but it would only make people think that they were two weak sons, and they would not leak the bottom.

"My brother went out from Shangjing with His Royal Highness, and now I don't know which general he was placed under to serve. I shouldn't have come to look for him so rashly, but Jiaci's illness really couldn't drag on, and she refused to let people bring a message to her brother to know, so I took the little girl and ran out secretly. ”

I have been looking at the vast land of Mobei with him since I was on the horse, and I have been traveling for seven or eight days all the way, and I don't know if Nan Chengyao in Yecheng is okay at this moment.

Thinking about it like this, I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, but along the way, I paid attention to many things, but I didn't hear the news that the coach was sick, so I was slightly relieved.

I didn't go alone with Shuying, but chose to go with the caravan, which may slow down the journey for a day or two, but it was undoubtedly the safest thing to do.

The north of the desert is far away, not to mention that we are not familiar with the road, it is inevitable that we will take more unjust roads, on this road everywhere horse thieves and robbers, if it is not for Dong Ye's familiar response to the negotiation, we have been delayed how many trips do not know, and even worse, may not even be able to save their lives.

Now that Yecheng is imminent, I am truly grateful to him for taking care of me and Shuying along the way, and I am secretly glad that I made this decision.

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but turn his head and said sincerely: "Mu Qin was able to meet Dong Ye along the way, and you didn't give up and took care of him along the way, it's really a blessing for three lives - thank you!"

Dong Ye hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop me: "Don't say that, what Dong admires most is a loyal and filial person who reads poetry and books, whether it is your brother who went to Mobei to be loyal to the country, or the little brother, you are thousands of miles away from your relatives and filial piety to your mother, I admire it very much, how can I not help this favor?"

When the sturdy man on the side heard this, he nodded again and again: "My family lives in this Yecheng, and every winter, those barbarians in Beihu always have to go around to snatch livestock rations, stirring up chickens and dogs." This year, the snow is so fierce that even the dry grass and vines are covered with an inch, thinking that their cattle, sheep and horses are starving to death, there is no ration, and the whole country is affected, so the whole country is mobilized to attack Yecheng. My mother-in-law was originally scared to death, closed the door all day long, and didn't even dare to let the cattle and sheep out, since the Third Highness led the soldiers and horses to stay in Yecheng, this is considered to be at ease. Little brother, since your brother is also following the Third Highness to protect me Mobei, then we will help you no matter what. ”

I smiled and thanked them, but I didn't want to see the proud look on Shuying's face that couldn't be hidden, as if the person who was praised was herself, and I couldn't help but laugh.

After walking for two more days, they arrived in front of Yecheng.

Dong Ye did not enter the city for the time being because he wanted to bring goods to the nearby villages, and he needed to take a detour, so I said goodbye to them outside Yecheng.

"Little Brother Mu, you don't know where your brother is in office, why don't you join us and enter the city a few days later, when the time comes, everyone will call you, and it will be convenient to find someone!"

Before the words fell, another hearty voice immediately picked up: "Look at what you said, Brother Mu is worried about his seriously ill mother at home, and he can't wait to find his brother to go back as soon as possible, how can he wait? ”

The people in the caravan are all simple and bold, and along the way, they all take more care of me and Shuying, who seem to be weak, and now that they are about to separate, they are naturally a little reluctant.

I hurriedly shook my head and thanked him: "Your eldest brother has already helped Mu Qin too much, and I don't dare to delay your business." Although I don't know which general my brother is serving in, I can be sure that he is in Yecheng at the moment, as long as I ask one by one, I will always find him. ”

Dong Ye pondered for a moment and then said: "It's okay, now that you have arrived in Yecheng, although it is far away, the folk customs are simple, you go straight to the city, and you will not encounter any more trouble." We'll be in the city in about three or five days, and if you haven't found your brother yet, you'll come to us at Tung Kee & Co. ”

I nodded hurriedly and thanked him, only to hear Dong Ye say again: "In this Yecheng, during the war period, there are naturally many generals, but it is right for you to go to General Qin Zhaozhun of Long Fei first, he is a capable person, and his character is noble, he is loved in Mobei, and his reputation is extremely high." Even if your brother isn't under his command, he might always know a thing or two. ”

I looked at him, and I felt faintly moved and guilty in my heart, but I also understood the priority of the matter, and I would not tell everything in a hurry.

After thanking them and parting from them, Shuying and I galloped directly to Yecheng.

The urban area of Yecheng is not large, and the buildings are also very simple, with a very strong style outside the city.

I got off the horse and walked with Shuying, found a lady who sold cakes at random, and asked her about the location of the Yecheng official mansion.

The eldest lady glanced at me coldly and said, "Look at the appearance of the little brother, it's not our local, what are you going to do when you go to the Yecheng official office?"

I smiled and replied, "My brother followed His Royal Highness to this expedition, and I came from Shangjing to find my relatives this time. ”

When she heard me say this, the coldness between her eyebrows eased a lot, and she thought for a moment before muttering to herself: "Yes, it is indeed an authentic Shangjing accent, and the skin and tender meat are knowledgeable, and those barbarians can't learn it." ”

I was stunned, she had already dropped the work in her hand and smiled at me a little apologetically: "This little brother, don't be surprised, it's true that too many Beihu spies have infiltrated Yecheng recently, and they tried to assassinate the Third Highness a few days ago, so we have to be more vigilant." ”

My heart tightened, and I hurriedly asked, "What about the Third Highness?"

The eldest lady smiled proudly: "The third highness has the blessing of the gods, how can those barbarians be easily injured, he came, a few victories and a dozen battles forced the Beihu barbarians to retreat dozens of miles, those barbarians were so afraid that they couldn't do it, so many spies went to the city with the intention of assassinating." We only look forward to the day when the final victory comes, and we will completely beat the Beihu barbarians back to their hometown!"

I felt a little at ease, but after a while, I couldn't help but worry, if it was really as this lady said, now Yecheng is under martial law due to the entry of the Beihu people, then I am afraid it will not be so easy for me to see Nan Chengyao.

According to the guidance of the eldest lady, we soon came to the Yecheng official mansion, as I expected, this official office is not big, but the guards are strict.

Not to mention that I wanted to go inside to find someone in person, even I took out the jade pendant I was wearing with me and asked the guards to pass it on, they were unmoved, and only told me with an expressionless face that now, except for those who hold the pass token, they are not allowed to enter the palace, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu comes. He won't help me pass on anything privately, and he will be guilty of collaborating with the enemy and treason.

Shu Ying hurriedly said: "Do you think my young master looks like a spy sent by the Northern Hu barbarian? Why don't you know how to be flexible at all? We won't go in, so let you show this jade pendant to His Royal Highness, he will naturally know the identity of my young master when he sees it!"

The soldier still refused with a blank face, and showed no sign of relenting.

Seeing this, the passers-by who were watching on the sidelines, although they sympathized with me and Shuying, still stood on the side of the guards and said: "Two little brothers, don't blame this guard for being unreasonable, since a few days ago, the Northern Hu barbarian infiltrated the official mansion and wanted to assassinate the Third Highness, and it was said that Lord Zhao had issued a strict order to fight to the death to protect the guards, even the old and young up and down this Yecheng, who was not vigilant and guarded at any time, and would definitely not let the Third Highness be in danger again." There is also the passing object you mentioned, do you know that the thief relied on this trick to get on the line with the inner Ying inside, and this was the opportunity to sneak into the house. So if they blame themselves and don't mention it, how can they make the same mistake again?"

Listening to his words, although I was a little discouraged, but strangely calmed down, since ancient times, the conquest relied on nothing more than the right time, place and people, now it seems that at least this person's heart, Nan Chengyao has.

Since even the most ordinary people in Yecheng take it as their duty to protect the Third Highness, then even if I can't see him in the short term, he will be safe and sound, right?

Shu Ying still didn't give up arguing with the guards: "The nature of this transmission is not the same at all, okay, is it? We are asking you to directly hand over the jade pendant to the Third Highness, will he be the one who should be able to do it?"

The guard still didn't budge: "Since it's for the Third Highness, it can't be easily passed on, what if the object is coated with poison?"

"You!"

I hurriedly glanced at her to soothe her, pondered for a moment, and said to the guards: "Since I can't see the Third Highness, then I don't know if the Lord can call General Long Fei to come out and see him?"

He glanced at me, shook his head and said: "Slow down is that the general is not here at the moment, even if he is in me, I will not pass on the word for you, this little brother, you better go, I can also see that you don't seem to be a bad person, but military law is like a mountain, we have to take precautions." When Yecheng is too peaceful, if the little brother really enters the mansion to find the Third Highness, I, Li Hu, kneel down again to accompany you. But for now, please don't embarrass us anymore. ”

I know that at this moment, it is useless to say more, and in the case of the unclear situation, I dare not rashly reveal my true identity, and even if I do, they may not believe it. So no matter how unwilling I was, I could only take Shuying and leave first.

We settled down at an inn called "Half Green", which is not a big place and the room utensils are relatively simple, but it is quite clean.

Shuying couldn't help but ask a little anxiously while tidying up the bed, "Young Master, what should we do now?"

I looked at her and smiled slightly, although this girl looks rough, but at the critical moment is not sloppy at all, I was worried that she would not be able to change the old title, and I explained it several times. I didn't expect that along the way, she was very cautious, and she didn't miss the bottom once, even in private, when there were only two of us, she called me "young master".

When she saw me, she smiled silently, and said hurriedly: "Young master, what are you laughing at, I'm dying here, we have not much luggage to pack lightly along the way, if we don't see the Third Highness again, I'm afraid, the silver of this guest house will not be opened." ”

"Shuying, what do you say is the most difficult to convey in this war-torn situation, and what is the fastest and easiest thing to transmit?" I looked at the group of children playing outside the window, and did not look away, only asked with a faint smile.

Shuying pouted: "Isn't this clear?The most difficult thing to convey is not the people and objects, otherwise we would have seen the Third Highness by now, why would the young master still be aggrieved in this small inn?"

After she finished speaking, she tilted her head and thought for a moment, and said, "This is the fastest and easiest thing to transmit...... Is it silver?"

I couldn't help but laugh out loud, ignored her, and walked straight to the children playing outside the door.

Shuying's voice still resounded behind him: "Young Master, where are you going?

I went to the side of the street first, exchanged a few pieces of silver for candy and handed them to the children who were playing: "Children, can my brother invite you to eat candy people?"

"Thank you, brother!" the children happily took the candy man and thanked me with a smile.

"You're welcome, what are you guys playing?"

"We're playing at home, he's dad and she's mom......" the kids yelled.

I smiled and asked, "Would you like to have fun with you too?"

"Okay, okay...... But what are you pretending to be, brother?"

I thought about it deliberately, and then said, "Brother pretends to be a teacher, can I teach you to read a ballad today?"

"Okay, good, good......"

I groaned slightly amid the cheers of the children, and after a moment, I gently read the first sentence: "Shangjing is clear and the north is deserted." ”

"Shangjing Qingfeng is Mobei-" The children grinned and read after me.

I smiled slightly, and then spoke: "The autumn cold woman reads the side clothes." ”

"The autumn cold woman reads the side clothes-"

"Ling is like a mountain, and I can't see it. ”

"Ling is like a mountain, I can't see it-"

"Yecheng is the only one to hear the horn. ”

"Yecheng is the only one to hear the horn-"

"Banxi Sky Guards the Marquis and Sun ......"

"Banxi Sky Guards the Marquis and the Grandson-"

I smiled and listened to their milky chanting, over and over again.

More and more children noticed the movement here, and ran over with a smile to join in the fun, and after a while, they also chanted together.

Their childish voices, which were not proficient at first, giggled and often needed to laugh and laugh with each other, and when they could no longer remember, they all looked at me with wide eyes.

I smiled and taught them over and over again, tirelessly.

In this war-torn situation, the grass and trees are all soldiers. Especially now that there is the mixing of the Beihu people, the most difficult thing to teleport in Yecheng is people and objects. At this point, Shuying is not wrong.

And if you want to say that what is the fastest and easiest to spread, it is the only thing that is true, and it has always been like this, especially in this sensitive period of war.

Since ancient times, soldiers have been a major event of the country. And when the two armies are fighting, only by knowing each other and knowing themselves can they not be defeated in a hundred battles.

Therefore, listening to words and seeing changes, and seeing opportunities, has always been the way for ancient soldiers to defeat the enemy.

Therefore, I believe that there will be no exceptions in this Yecheng city, and the people's hearts and rumors in the city will inevitably receive great attention from the soldiers, and even to the point of arranging a special person to be responsible for collecting these news.

So, I'm not worried.

I glanced at the place of the Yecheng official office, where I had no way to enter, but this ballad could do it.

The hidden meaning in the ballad, Nan Chengyao will not be unable to hear it. If my prediction is correct, within three days, he will send someone to this "Half Creek" inn to find out.

"The breeze in Beijing is desert north, and the autumn cold woman reads the side clothes. Ling is like a mountain, and it can't be seen. Yecheng alone hears the horn, and Banxi guards the prince and grandson ......"

There was still the crisp sound of children chanting in my ears, and I looked in the direction of the government and smiled faintly.
