"Are the elders in the family okay?" asked Tuoba Tao again.

"It's long gone. "Mai Xiaoji is telling the truth this time.

"You and your wife are both traveling, who are you entrusting your children to?" asked Tuoba Tao again.

It's just a hundred thousand whys, Mai Xiaoji didn't want to answer, and he couldn't help but answer, he only blamed himself for owing before, so he shouldn't mention anything about having children. I also blurted out that it was a couple!

can only make it up, but fortunately, Mai Xiaoji is very good at it, explaining: "Brother Tao, when I was a teenager, I entered the Taoist temple, and I was lazy by nature, and I didn't learn anything. Seeing that I was not successful, the Taoist master happened to meet a woman who was outcast, so he made the decision to make me a parent, that is, the one behind me, and the children were taken care of by the masters. ”

"Where is the Taoist temple?"

"No, in fact, I don't care about the world for a long time, and I don't even know the situation outside. ”

"No wonder your wife has Western Regions blood. Tuoba Tao seemed to have figured out something, and a relaxed expression appeared on his face.

It turned out that Ji Manli's European-style eyes had been suspected by Tuobatao, and he was afraid that she was a secret agent sent by Rouran, which also fully shows that this young emperor, although his face is immature, is as delicate as silk, and he is very aware of everything, and he can become a generation of Ming Jun in the future.

Of course, Mai Xiaoji also knows that until now, Tuoba Tao doesn't believe in himself too much, as for why he always stays by his side to talk, maybe because he doesn't have weapons, and the march is lonely, and he also wants to find someone to talk to.

Lunch is very simple, a bowl of meat, two steamed buns, seeing that Ji Manli doesn't eat, Tuoba Tao began to be curious again, Mai Xiaoji had to explain that his wife was greedy in the morning, and she ate too much in the morning, and she hasn't digested it yet.

"Then drink some gruel?" said Tuoba Tao again.

"No need, she has hands and feet, what she wants to do by herself, it's not worth worrying about her brother. Besides, although she is not too smart, she still knows how to be thirsty and hungry. Mai Xiaoji said with a grin.

There is no need to look back, and you can know that Ji Manli is angry, because the joints have clicked.

Tuoba Tao smiled and said, "Brother Mai's wife is very rare, I'm afraid that in addition to passing on the lineage, she is still serving as a guard!"

"If you love to hit people, you just don't hit me. Mai Xiaoji also laughed, but Ji Manli was silent, until now, she is still masked.

The Golden Circle mobile phone vibrated and the weather warned that an hour later, there would be a rainstorm. Mai Xiaoji deliberately twitched his nose a few times, dipped his fingers in the water and drew a strange symbol, and finally nodded and said, "Brother Tao, it's going to rain heavily, let's find a place to shelter from the rain!"

Tuoba Tao was stunned, immediately walked out of the big tent, looked up at the sky, it was very clear, and there was no sign of rain at all. After returning, Tuoba Tao asked, "Brother Mai, how did you know that it was going to rain heavily?"

"I learned a little bit from the master, I can get some opportunities from the breath of the wind, and then I can use the art of divination to know that there is rain. "Mai Xiaoji has a point.

"How heavy is the rain?"

"Huge!"

"When?"

"Half an hour. ”

Tuoba Tao stared at Mai Xiaoji's face, not seeing any trace of lying, but still half-convinced, after about five minutes, he finally made up his mind, went out and announced loudly: "Soldiers, quickly pack up, march quickly, and grab the mud river." ”

didn't listen to Mai Xiaoji, on the contrary, Tuoba Tao chose to march quickly.

The well-trained soldiers, after hearing the order, packed up their things as quickly as possible. Mai Xiaoji looked at the time on his phone, and it took less than twenty minutes before and after, and everyone had returned to the horse.

The army was like a tide, galloping along the road, and Mai Xiaoji still rode a horse with Ji Manli, and marched side by side with Tuoba Tao. Riding a horse is very hard, sitting on horseback is very tiring and bumpy, but fortunately, he is now in good health, and before he changed it, he had already been broken up by the bumps.

Tuoba Tao looked at the sky from time to time, and the suspicious look on his face became more and more intense, and it didn't look like it was raining at all.

There is never a mistake in the Golden Circle, and McEgie is very confident in that. A few minutes later, the sky was clear, but suddenly the wind and clouds surged, and large clouds poured in from all sides, and soon the sky was tightly obscured.

Visibility became very low, Tuoba Tao turned his head and glanced at Mai Xiaoji meaningfully, his eyes showed appreciation, this person can predict the wind and rain, there are two moments.

When the Nituo River arrived, the sky had already fallen with rain stars, leaving countless ripples on the surging water. The river is about twenty meters wide and flows from a distance, and the water is muddy, choppy and muddy.

There was a pontoon bridge on the river, and the soldiers dismounted one after another, carefully led the horses, and passed over the pontoon bridge in turn to the opposite bank.

Tens of thousands of people crossed a bridge, the speed can be imagined, the raindrops became denser and denser, and the land under the horse's hooves became more and more muddy. ”

And the message from Ji Manli is very funny, she usually drives, but it's not easy to talk about horseback riding, don't blame her for falling into the river.

This is angry talk, complaining that Mai Xiaoji always belittles himself.

"Your Majesty, the front is slippery, can you fix it in place?" someone came to ask for instructions.

"No, cross the river without delay!" Tuoba Tao insisted.

Not only did you have to rush to the crossing, but you had to do it as soon as possible, and an entourage came over to raise a big umbrella, but it was pushed away by Tuoba Tao and instructed not to let Mai Xiaoji and the others get drenched in the rain.

is really a dedicated emperor, Mai Xiaoji sincerely admires, if he can show this kind of energy to do business, the current knowledge group, the scale will definitely be more than doubled.

As the water level increased, the well-trained horses began to neigh, accompanied by the sound of wind and rain, and the scene was quite spectacular.

Braving the storm, the soldiers finally succeeded in rushing through the Nituo River, and everyone was like a chicken in the soup, and they re-established their camp two miles away from the river.

Because of the heavy rain, the water of the Nituo River rose very rapidly, and the pontoon bridge was completely washed away.

It was only at this time that Mai Xiaoji realized that Tuoba Tao was born to be an emperor, and the reason why he did not listen to his choice to avoid the rain, but marched in a hurry was that he did not want to be trapped on the opposite bank by the flood. The river swelled, and in case of encountering Rouran's army, at that time, the pontoon bridge was gone, and the whole team was afraid that there would be no way out.

The big tent was resettled, Mai Xiaoji and Ji Manli were not drenched by the rain, but Tuoba Tao was completely soaked, his hair was wet and sticking to his face, and he looked a little embarrassed. He went inside, changed into a pair of dry clothes, dried his hair and tied it up again, and then came out again.

The weather changes quickly, just now it was torrential rain, but now the clouds are blown away by the strong wind, and the washed sky is exceptionally clear and pure blue.
