After listening to Zi Yanran's explanation of what Tu Nazha said, Meng Tian instantly blushed. After all, he is only a fourteen-year-old man, although he is the leader of an army, or a martial arts master in the eyes of everyone, he will still show the performance of an emotional chick in the face of the voice of a person of the opposite sex who is about his own age. Meng Tian smiled and scratched his neck, but did not speak.

Zi Yanran opened her mouth first, "I think that Loulan woman is very beautiful, in the face of the confession of a big beauty, do you react like this as a man?"

Meng Tian smirked and said, "Miss Tunazha and I have only met twice, and she suddenly told me that she loves me, how can I react? Besides, I am now a general of an army, of course, I must put the interests of Daqin first, and as for the matter of feelings, I haven't taken it into account." And I think you......"

"Me, what's wrong with me?"

"I think you're much prettier than she is. ”

Zi Yanran didn't expect Meng Tian to suddenly say such a sentence, and she suddenly blushed, and felt that her heartbeat suddenly became so fast. Zi Yanran didn't speak, as if she hadn't heard Meng Tian's words, she whipped the horse under her with a whip, and the horse understood what her master meant, and ran forward on all four legs.

Meng Tian saw Zi Yanran suddenly accelerate, and didn't understand what was going on with her, so she had to follow with her sweaty horse between her legs.

After galloping about half a stick of incense, he entered a mountainous area, followed Zi Yanran along the mountain road, and then arrived at the door of a cottage. About fifty steps away from the gate of the wall, there is still a horse rejection stake, and there are men in leather clothes patrolling back and forth with bows and arrows and spears on the gatehouse built above the gatehouse. The man standing on the gatehouse saw that Zi Yanran was riding a horse and was about to arrive in front of the gate of the village, and then sent a signal to the bottom, and the gate below opened, and two men also walked out, removing the horse-rejecting stake in front of the house to welcome the people who went out to come back.

Meng Tian also arrived in front of the gate of the village, looking at this well-defended cottage that was almost as well defended as the military camp, and couldn't help but admire the master who built this cottage. The cottage was built in a valley halfway up the mountain, with water on one side and a bare mountain on the other, and it seems that someone had deliberately cut down all the trees in this place in order to observe the situation on the road leading to the cottage, which should only be done by someone who is particularly experienced in marching and fighting.

Zi Yanran dismounted in the village, and when she turned around, she saw that Meng Tian was still riding a horse and stopped at the gate of the cottage, and walked over and shouted, "What, are you studying how to attack our cottage, General?"

Meng Tian shook his head and said: "How could it be, I just saw that the location of your cottage was clearly guided by a master, so I chose to set up camp here, just now I just didn't think that there were people here who knew how to march and fight, so I was stunned." ”

Zi Yanran hooked her fingers at Meng Tian, signaled him to come in quickly, and after Meng Tian dismounted, she said: "This cottage was built by my father's sworn brother, that is, my uncle, he was originally the owner of this cottage, once I went down the mountain and met my father and me, the two of them hit it off at first sight, and they became brothers, my father is a few years older and is the eldest brother, and then my father taught these Yiqu people some knowledge of the Central Plains here, and they will also go out to hunt or share the property they have looted with us." Then my father followed my uncle down the mountain to hunt some game or to rob caravans in the steppes. ”

Meng Tian asked, "Who is your uncle, if he is just a robber who occupies the mountains and is the king, he should not understand these things that can only be understood by marching and fighting, right?"

Zi Yanran walked towards the village with Meng Tian, and said as she walked: "I don't know about this, my uncle never told me about his previous affairs in front of me, my father should know, but he didn't tell me either." What are you asking for, are you trying to fight some bad idea?"

Meng Tian hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, you misunderstood what I meant, what I mean, if I have the opportunity, I want to ask your uncle for advice, I also just became a general not long ago, I have also learned a lot from Grandpa Wang Jian and my grandfather in Xianyang City before, but that is what I heard next to them when they were arranging their troops, and now I am so happy to have the opportunity to ask a master in person." ”

"Really?" Zi Yanran asked rhetorically, and then walked forward without speaking.

Meng Tian continued to follow Zi Yanran towards the inside of the cottage. The more he walked into the village, Meng Tian found that there were not only men but also women, the elderly and children, and that it was more appropriate to say that it was a village than a cottage. There are several roads around the cottage from the door, and there are houses on the side of the road, some of these houses are made of wood, the roof is covered with dry grass, and some are houses made of mud in the castle under the mountain, but the number is scarce, there are only eight or nine as far as the eye can see, and more are houses made of wood. Walking on the road, the women, the old man and the children living in the houses on both sides all looked at Zi Yanran and Meng Tian, and the eyes that looked at Zi Yanran were mostly gentle and respectful, while those who looked at Meng Tian were more questioning, and maybe even hostile, because Meng Tian was wearing the same armor worn by the Qin people who managed Yiqu, so most of the eyes looking at Meng Tian were not friendly.

Zi Yanran didn't stop, just kept waving to the people on both sides, it seems that Zi Yanran is not only here because of the leader's daughter, but also because the people here like her very much. Meng Tian followed behind Zi Yanran, unmoved by the gaze around him, he took his sweaty BMW and followed behind Zi Yanran silently.

Walking to the end of the road, Meng Tian's eyes were greeted by a stone house, the stone house was not very large, but there were four adult men guarding the door, it should be protecting something important. In front of the stone house, there is a small square, and the center is surrounded by stones, and there are ashes inside, which seems to have been left over from last night.

Zi Yanran turned back to Meng Tian and said, "This is our most sacred place, this stone house is dedicated to the gods that their Yiqu people believe in, and of course they are also the gods I believe in now. In this open space, we sometimes get together in the cottage at night, and everyone drinks wine, eats meat and dances together, which is very happy. The cabin to the east is where my father and I lived, and the cabin next to it is where you will be staying tonight. After Zi Yanran finished speaking, she walked towards the guards guarding the stone house, said a few words and returned, "I asked just now, my father and my uncle went out hunting, they may have to wait a while to come back, I will take you to your place first." ”

Meng Tian said: "Isn't your father physically injured, why is he still going out hunting with your uncle?"

Zi Yanran turned around and walked upside down, and said: "My father's body injury is almost healed, but the old doctor in the village said that he will not be allowed to use knives and guns in the future, but it is still okay to draw a bow and shoot arrows, so my father will now take people into the mountains to hunt as long as the weather is good, I didn't expect my uncle to accompany him today." Okay, when your place is here, you can go and rest first, and when my father returns, I will come and call you. ”

Meng Tian nodded, said thank you, and then opened the door and walked in. There are very few things in the house, but the daily necessities are very complete, there is a wooden bed, a cabinet, tables, chairs and benches. Meng Tian took off his helmet and put it on the table, and walked to the wooden bed, which had two futons, although patched, but very clean. Meng Tian couldn't imagine that there was such a clean and tidy place in this cottage, it can be said that this cottage, oh no, it should be said that Zi Yanran had enough shock to him today, Meng Tian felt more and more that there were still many interesting things about Zi Yanran, but he hadn't discovered it yet. Meng Tian went to bed, calculated where his father had gone with the army, how long he would stay here, and fell asleep thinking about lying on the bed.
