"General? Checkmate? What are you thinking?" Chen Jie's soft call woke Hermulan up.

He Mulan suddenly came back to her senses, but found herself squatting in the storeroom, and she suddenly remembered—oh oh, oh, I was looking for something for Chen Jie to take away.

"The general has been in a trances since he came back yesterday." Chen Jie asked her a little puzzled: "Aren't you worried about General Di?" Still not worried about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Neither." He Mullan shook his head, opened a box casually, and grabbed a few handfuls of jewels inside. These are all easy to carry fine, although the silk silk is circulating everywhere, but you are going to Montenegro, with a cart of cloth is a little dazzling, and when you get to Montenegro, you go to our former subordinates and ask them to help you gather food."

"Hmm." Chen Jie tore a thick cloth casually, wrapped the gold ingots and the like given by Mulan, and found a thin rattan box and put it in.

"I don't know what happened to those people in Montenegro. It's been so many years, if they still can't live on their own, will it be difficult for the general to support them for the rest of their lives?"

Who are those slaves in Montenegro?

Why can't I remember it all the time?

Does she want to go to the Jinglun Heavenly Palace to find her memories?

"General, general?"

Chen Jie looked at his general with some concern.

I will be distracted when I talk about it, but I still can't let go of Chen Jun's side, right?

Also, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lives there.

It scared him a lot at first.

He Mulan shook his head, trying not to let himself think about the strange things that happened yesterday, and only helped Chen Jie pack his things and take care of the supplies.

"General, isn't it bad for you to not buy your family property and make plans like this, doesn't it mean that General Di has a way to trade in the Western Regions? Otherwise, you can take out half of the things given by His Majesty and ask him to take care of them, and earn some personal things."

Chen Jie's rewards in the army were sent home, and he bought land at home, and he had a rent to send home every year, so Chen Jie did not have a hard time. But his master will almost just sit at home and eat nothing, and if this continues, no matter how much he has left.

"Do you think I should entrust these properties to Di Yefei to take care of?" He Mulan looked at Chen Jie in surprise, "I thought you hated Di Yefei very much."

"I hate him so much." Chen Jie actually admitted it, "But he is still affectionate and righteous to the general, and entrusting things to him is better than finding an unreliable boss. Besides, if you don't like the Grange, you might as well use these things for business, and make more money and food, so that you can feed so many mouths behind you."

Chen Jie chattered like an old mother: "The people in the dead camp are also accepted, the orphans are also collected, and the crippled are also collected, I said that this is not good, and the military slaves cannot be taken out of the country, General Xia appreciated you and assigned these military slaves to your account to listen to the errand, as a result, there are few people who can do things, but you have to take care of them. I don't know how many military slaves there are in that place in Montenegro, can they all be managed? You ...... like this"

One thousand words omitted below.

"Chen Jie."

"Huh?"

"Do you know why, after so many years, 'I' am the only one by your side?"

"That's because I am most loved by the general!"

"No, it's because if you talk a few more times, I'll die of a hysterical attack first."

"……"

Chen Jiepetrified .

Chen Jie only stayed at Hua's house for two days, after which he hung the rattan box and package on his horse and left alone.

Ancient times are not like modern times, there is no mobile phone and no mailbox, his future return date is uncertain, there is no fixed residence, He Mulan wants to see him again, he can only rely on himself to find Yingguo Township.

Chen Jie, the address that Mulan funded in the past, has also been written on paper for He Mulan, and marked who is in the family and who is in charge. He Mulan looked at the densely written three-page paper, and didn't know whether to admire the great personality of Mulan, or to praise Chen Jie's personality of not sparing a knife for Mulan.

He is responsible for caring for so many families every year, even if Mulan gives him something, it should be very hard, right? This is an ancient time without express delivery.

No wonder so many county soldiers from all over the country under him are very familiar with him, and I am afraid that he is used to carrying things.

Chen Jie is gone, and the Hua family is very reluctant. Hearing that this kid had lost his official position and was going back to the township, Father Hua couldn't help but sigh for a long time, regretting that his own sons and nephews had lost their future.

Chen Jie is gone, Tuoba Huang and Di Yefei are also gone, He Mulan's life seems to have returned to the calm before they came, practicing sword with Shan Zhuo every morning, helping Brother Hua to do his work, going out to walk around the horse and basking in the sun when he has nothing to do, and his life is easy and simple.

Only occasionally, Kou Qianzhi, Hua Mulan, and the children running in the fields in the Yuan family's Wubi would appear in front of her eyes.

"What would you do if you only had three years to live?"

After practicing the sword once, He Mulan pulled Ah Danzhuo from the ground and couldn't help muttering to himself.

She still didn't know if Kou Tianshi's attempt had been successful or failed. If it succeeds, then why is Mulan's strange power still there? If it fails, then why did she get seriously ill again, and why did she save it here?

If this strange power is there, it should mean that the yang energy has not been removed, and the "violent death in the prime of life" that the old monk of Kuzen said should be in the past few years.

Pity her in modern times because she went to the mountains for criminal investigation, stepped on the power grid of pulling nets to hunt, and did not know life and death.

"The husband is not afraid of life and death, if I. [,！ When you are called into the army, who knows how long you can live, just live well in front of you and leave no regrets."

Edan Zhuo was just stunned for a moment, and immediately replied disapprovingly to Mullan's words.

He Mulan was also stunned when he heard his answer, and then couldn't help but smile.

No matter how simple-hearted Shan Zhuo is, he is also a child who grew up in a northern military town. The culture of being fierce, belligerent, murderous, and light-hearted is almost the unique label of the northern military town. Otherwise, Mulan would not have become an extremely conspicuous outlier in the barracks back then.

"I don't think of a child yet." Hermulan patted him on the shoulder. You're right, just live the good life in front of you and leave no regrets."

She'll go to the Silent Wheel Heavenly Palace.

But before that, she has to arrange Mulan's affairs first

The Hua family first sensed that something was wrong with their daughter.

She actually gave the perishable cloth, which was easy to turn yellow after a long time, and the pearls that could not be sold at a good price, to Brother Hua, and asked him to replace them into fields.

Military households do not need to buy land, the Northern Wei Dynasty is vast and sparsely populated, and the military government and the imperial court will allocate a large amount of land to Zhuangding and military households, especially military households, which are almost superhuman heads, regardless of men, women, and children. Most of the land harvested by military households will be handed over to the state, and the families of soldiers who sacrificed for the country also need to be cared for, but the wealth is not enough, so giving land has become the best choice.

In this era, it is not for nothing that people outside the military household "male plough and female weaver", and the male farmer is to pay taxes and fill the stomach of the family. Women raise silkworms, collect hemp, spin threads, and weave cloth, but in order to make the house have something to circulate. To weave cloth is to weave money, and the importance of women is self-evident.

"Why should you change it to a field? The family can't plant the land, so I have to invite the idlers in the village to plant it every year. If you want to buy another field, you will have to buy a farmer......"

Yuan's idea is very simple, she always feels that her daughter may still get married, now the land is cheap, if she marries in other places, it is better to buy land and property in other places, and the province will toss again.

"I think it's better to buy it early." Father Hua thought for a while, "When the spring warms up after the New Year, Grandpa, my leg will be better, and I will personally help you run."

But he has long wanted his daughter to settle down and start a business, otherwise he always feels that his daughter will run away at any time.

The family business is here, and people will never run to a distant place.

"Eh, grandpa, then I'll ask you!"

He Mullan suddenly let go of a difficult problem.

He Mulan hid the things that Tuoba Tao gave him and told the Hua family one by one, and when he knew that the pile of fire built by his daughter was actually a place to put valuable things, the whole family praised her cleverness.

"No, Mulan, I heard you mean this, why do you seem to be going far away?" Yuan frowned disapprovingly: "Your younger brother and sister will give birth next year, can you not go out and run around all the time?" There is one who can do things at home, and I want spring ploughing in the spring......"

He Mulan smiled and listened to Yuan's one, two, three, four talking about the lack of manpower in the family, and was a little happy for Hua Mulan in his heart.

Her mother, actually took Mulan as a man who stood on the top of the house.

"You don't have to worry about Mulan." Father Hua coughed, "My daughter-in-law has already given birth to a baby once, and it's not the first child. Changle's two old belts are enough, not to mention that she is a good doll and doesn't make trouble. If Mulan wants to go out, it must be a big deal, and you don't want your mother-in-law to be verbose all the time. Mulan didn't come back, didn't you just live like this?"

"Isn't that already back?"

"Mother, I do have to go out after the year." He Mulan thought for a while, and told the truth to Hua's father and mother, "Chen Jie is no longer in Chenjun, but the people I used to help can't let go. After a while, I will go to the house of my former subordinate Pao Ze to have a look, and if there is really something that can't go on, I will give one or two; If all the children in the family are already able to start a business, I will go and say goodbye and let go."

This is also what He Mulan thought of, there are so many rewards left by Mulan, even if she saves money and does not spend indiscriminately, if she wants to give those three pieces of paper every year, I am afraid that it will not take long to spend it.

Now it's different from before, now there is no war, no booty, no reward, although Tuoba Tao rewards a lot of things are very valuable, but they can't support so many people for a lifetime.

Many families are the same as Shan Zhuo's family, they may just need the name of Mulan to protect orphans and widows, and now that she is no longer in the army, this name is useless, if the children in the family have grown up enough to stand on their own, she can put aside her hands and let them work their own, otherwise her kindness will cultivate the spirit of these children to be easy and hardworking, but it will help the opposite.

It's just that how to screen it still needs her to run it herself.

It's a pity that Di Yefei followed the prince wholeheartedly, and he had to deal with the Yuan family master in Chen County until the end of the year, otherwise with this partner who is well-versed in the world and has a respected status, some things will be much calmer.

That night, He Mulan and Shan Zhuo told her decision, she originally thought that Shan Zhuo would probably go back to her hometown in Wuchuan after the New Year, but as soon as Shan Zhuo heard He Mulan's plan, she immediately pleaded and said, "Aunt Hua, let me go with you."

"You're not going home?"

He Mulan didn't expect that Shan Zhuo didn't want to return to his hometown.

"I came out this time to see what the world is like. I haven't refined my martial arts for a long time, and the master who taught me martial arts said that it was because I had little actual combat and low vision. Over the years, I just want to follow you to make a career, except. [,！ Practicing martial arts day and night, other people don't know anything about the world, at such an old age, they don't even have a ...... family."

Shan Zhuo scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Congratulations...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is even three years old with his son, and I will accompany Aunt Hua to walk around, maybe my brain will be opened, and those girls will not think I am stupid in the future."

"…… Good ambition."

What else could Hermulan say?

Maybe there is a daughter in the family who is an old friend of the former comrade or something, maybe she will see the right eye with Shan Zhuo? Besides, she doesn't know the path to the north, which starts from Dongping County to the northernmost Wuchuan route, which is long, with Shan Zhuo as a guide, the two of them are companions, and there is also a care.

This year, because He Mulan was going to leave after the New Year, he had a bit of a sad time. As soon as the flower mother was free, she began to make all kinds of jerky - she was always anxious that her daughter did not like to eat pickles and boiled things, but liked to chew these jerky.

While doing it, she was worried, these things can grind her teeth, her daughter loves to chew this every day, what if her teeth are broken?

When Brother Hua heard that Shan Zhuo was going to go with his sister, his eyes were full of indescribable envy.

His sister left home when he was eight years old, and if you want to get along, it's been a little over the last year. He worships his sister in his heart and regards her as his hero, but he also clearly knows that he is not a useful person, Ah Shan Zhuo still has a body of martial arts, a handful of strength, and he can only herd horses, raise sheep, and farm at home, if he really follows Sister A, it will become a drag.

Although the world is now more peaceful than ten years ago, but thieves and bandits are still continuous, and it is good where there is an official road, if not, a few horse thieves and robbers can jump out without paying attention, and his three-legged cat kung fu ......

…… Hey, the more I think about it, the more sad I become, why did his father and mother give his sister such strength, but only gave himself this thin body? Could it be that the essence was sucked off by Sister A.

Syllable!

He punched himself in the mouth.

What do you think about it, his sister can have the power to protect herself, he should be happy. If it weren't for Sister A, he would have died on the battlefield long ago.

"Send this to my sister." Fang handed over a pair of deerskin boots.

This deer skin is still a gift from Di Yefei, Hua Mutuo has to work in the field on weekdays, go into the pen to feed the pigs, and don't need this good skin, Fang's made two pairs of shoes. The inside of the two pairs of boots is full of soft fur, the upper of the boots is leather, and the boots are embroidered with some clouds of the same color, which is not easy to see if you don't look carefully, because Hermulan is used to wearing men's clothes, and these two pairs of boots are made in a man's style.

"I thought you did it for me!"

"When can't you do it? My mother has to take care of Changle every day and take care of the housework, and I can't take care of my sister, so naturally I do it."

"How can that still be a man!"

"Nonsense, my sister is walking outside, it's hard to wear a narrow skirt and boots!"

The pregnant wife leans against the window every day to make shoes and small clothes, and every time Hua Mutuo sees it, her heart is warm as if she is basking in the sun, but as soon as Fang's boots are handed over, they are for her sister, and his heart immediately clatters in half.

He knew that Sister A was a woman, but he didn't know, and he thought that his brother-in-law loved his uncle!

"Give it, give it!" Hua Mutuo picked up two pairs of boots, held them in his arms, and went straight to Mulan's house.

Inside, Mullan and Edan Zhuo were debating what to bring. In the past, when she and her little brother Hua went to the market to buy things, most of them brought some cloth and picked up some eggs, which were not valuable. This time I went out to visit my old friend's home, I couldn't come to the door empty-handed, and when I got to the place, I always wanted to buy some gifts.

When Shan Zhuo went out, he gave a bundle of cloth at home, and then brought a lot of eggs and dry food, and when he didn't eat, he exchanged the cloth for some rice and noodles, and went to the wine shop to change the taste, and then took the dry food and continued to walk. He doesn't pick either, he has a tile to cover his body at night, and he can get through it with a blanket.

As for the inn and the inn, this kid doesn't dare to enter.

When she heard that it was so difficult to get out of the house in this era, her brows were furrowed and she could kill flies.

It's better to follow the egret on the road, and when you want to stay, find a yamen to hand over the token of the waiting officer Cao, and anyone is respectfully invited to go in and arrange for a night.

……

Will she freeze to death in the wilderness?

"Otherwise, let's take a ride." Shan Zhuo sighed. Aunt Hua doesn't even have any soldiers and generals, otherwise she would have driven a car, brought cloth, bedding and food, and if she missed the lodging, we would bury the pot on the side of the road to cook and rest in the carriage for the night."

He Mulan thought for a moment that he couldn't find a place to stay in a deserted place in the suburbs, and then he didn't have anything to eat, and his nose was watery from the cold of spring......

"Ride!"

He Mullan gritted his teeth.

"I'll ride a horse, you catch the car, slow down, let's go out in the carriage."

"Who's going to ride in the carriage?" Little Brother Hua opened the curtain and entered the house, handing his sister two pairs of boots: "Sister, my daughter-in-law made it according to your feet, why do you have to prepare several pairs of shoes to change your feet when you go out, otherwise in a few days, your feet will be frozen like ice cubes."

Shan Zhuo on the side nodded violently when he heard this.

"I'll go and thank my brother and sister in person." He Mulan happily took the shoe, reached out and stuffed it into the boot, and suddenly the soft and warm touch of the fur surrounded her fingers, making her comfortable eyes narrow.

"It's so comfortable, it should be more comfortable to wear."

"It's good if my sister likes it." Seeing that her sister was happy with her new boots, Hua Mutuo's heart was also clean because of the slightest grievance caused by his wife's eccentricity.

"Sister wants to go out in a carriage? Can Yue Ying and A Dan small. [,！ My brother's horses are all war horses, and I can't get a car."

"Buy!"

He Mullan gritted his teeth. When you get to Yucheng, buy a carriage, and your family will be able to use it in the future."

"What about Brother Adan's horse? My sister rides two horses by herself? What is Yue Ying doing?"

As for my sister's horse, if you want to see her riding another horse, she will kick the other horses to death in the middle of the night, right?

"……"

it! She just wanted to go far away, if it was so difficult!

In modern times, He Mulan also likes to watch costume dramas, especially Jin Yong's martial arts dramas.

She always thought that the life of a hero was very fast and chic, a sword and a horse, a sword to go to the end of the world, a bold shot, a spender of money, friends all over the world.

When I was going to sleep at night, I found an inn, smashed a piece of gold, and shouted: "Shopkeeper, come to two upper rooms, and send a bucket of hot water, and the uncle wants to take a bath."

Such a beautiful description that He Mullan could not identify with this backward Northern Wei society for a long time. The first time she knew there was no money here, her eyes barely bulged.

In Shan Zhuo's words, there are not inns everywhere here, only big cities will have "county mansions", and in other places, if you don't know the details, there are people who have been killed for money for a night, such as losing things, gathering people to fight and rob, and the list goes on.

If you live alone, you are either a master of art and bold, or you are stunned for the first time.

As soon as the fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed, He Mulan and Ah Danzhuo left home, she was conceited that there should be few people in this world who could snatch money from her, so she didn't want to buy any more cars, but only packed a bag of valuable and easy soft things, put them on the side of Yueying's saddle and tied them, sewed gold leaves into the jacket for emergencies, and the valuables were placed close to her.

As for the leather boots, clothes, bedding, grain, cloth, etc., they were placed on the pack horse used for the cart at home, tied to the reins of Adanzhuo's horse, and carried away with them.

It's slower, but it's much faster than a horse-drawn carriage. If you really can't do it on the road, it's too late to buy a car and put it on. Shan Zhuo naturally had no objection to this, but He Mulan was up and down in her heart, and she always felt that this trip was more difficult than she imagined.

But she didn't think that before she passed Yucheng, she would be in trouble.

On this day, He Mulan and Adanzhuo had just passed through Yucheng when it rained. The rain in winter is different from summer, the rain will not stop, and He Mulan did not dare to hide under the tree, for fear of being struck by lightning, and seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, he had to quickly ride his horse to find a place to hide from the rain.

Lucky for them, they found a broken kiln, probably where pottery was made, and the soil here was almost dug up, and everyone left, leaving only a ruin.

Most of the kilns were built in an open area, which was convenient for drying pottery and bricks, and when the people were gone, the kilns and broken sheds were there, and He Mulan and Shan Zhuo drove a few horses under the broken sheds, unloaded the oil blankets from the pack horses, and wrapped the things unloaded on the horses.

They hid immediately, their bodies were not too wet, and after changing their coats, Shan Zhuo looked at the sky, and could only sigh and wait.

The rain did not stop for a while, and after a while, seeing that the rain was still falling, Edan Zhuo and He Mulan simply opened their burdens and took dried meat and hu cakes to satisfy their hunger.

After two days away from home, even if He Mullan didn't like to eat the food at home that lacked salt and seasoning, he was extremely nostalgic at this time. At least kill an old hen, stew the chicken broth, sprinkle some salt, and that's also very fragrant.

I don't know how Mulan survived the march in the past, not to mention that there was no food for a while, all of which relied on the experience of "smuggling" by her past partners, and it was a miracle that she didn't get stomach problems, but she was in good health.

He Mulan and Ah Danzhuo were eating, but they heard the sound of someone running on the left, and after a while, a bare head came into their eyes, and after a while, a panting monk came.

said to be a monk, but he looks very innocent, the kind of type that looks like "I'm pitiful" at first glance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, probably because he was too thin, his two big eyes seemed to bulge out, and the wind and rain wet his clothes, and the clothes were all attached to his body, and it looked like he could be blown away by a gust of wind at any time.

This reminded Ah Danzhuo of the equally thin and stammering little monk in the Dry Leaf Temple, and he didn't know where he had fled with the blind old monk now, whether he had enough food and clothing, whether he had been arrested by the government, and whether he still used the bitter water as a treasure for hospitality.

Thinking of this, Shan Zhuo couldn't bear it in his heart, took the initiative to drill out of the kiln, beckoned to the monk, and motioned for him to come here. With the box containing the belongings, He Mulan simply put the bag under his buttocks, and looked at the monk with a cheer and ran quickly to the cave.

He held a bamboo cane in his hand, probably used to remove the bushes on the side of the road, and as soon as he rushed into the kiln, he hurriedly thanked the Buddha with his palms together and gave him a place to hide.

He Mulan could not have imagined that there would be such a bold monk now, and when the emperor decreed that all young monks must return to the world, he would still wear thick monk's robes and run around with his shoes on his shoes.

After thanking the Buddha, the monk folded his hands full of gratitude and recited the Buddha's name, and then asked:

"Xie two donors allow me to stay here, dare to ask how far Dongping County is left?"

He Mulan glanced at the monk, and saw that he was soaked all over but did not wipe it, but first asked how to go on the road, and knew that there must be something urgent, so he pointed in the direction of Dongping County and replied to him: "Walk in this direction all the way, about five or six days.".

[,！ ]

"Amitabha, is it so far away?" He looked at his shoes, which were straw shoes, and at this time the shoes and socks were wet, he looked at He Mulan, who was dressed in a humble costume with a cold face, and then looked at Shan Zhuo, who was also dressed up, and asked a little crampedly:

"The little monk takes off his shoes and socks here, can you?"

"You change it." He Mullan doesn't like to talk much, but his heart is not bad." Shan Zhuo, you can find him a pair of socks to change first."

"Amitabha, thank you for your generosity."

The little monk happily took the socks and put them on, put the wet shoes and socks at a distance, and then took off the coat and pants on his body, and hugged them tremblingly.

He Mulan was also pitiful when he saw him like this, and he wore Ardan Zhuo's clothes that were probably too wide, so he simply wrapped his coat, which was slightly wet on the outside, and borrowed him to keep him warm.

Anyway, the coat still has a little temperature, which can be slightly warmer.

At this moment, there was water in his eyes, and He Mulan couldn't see the children and women crying, and when he saw that his tears were about to fall, he quickly turned his head away and stopped looking at him.

He Mullan was bored, and the sound of the ticking water outside made people feel more and more sleepy, so he simply leaned against the kiln wall and closed his eyes to recuperate. Her "rock" is at hand, and she is not afraid of him doing evil.

Having said that, this little monk didn't look like some kind of assassin, otherwise he wouldn't have run outside in such an eye-catching monk's robe.

He Mulan slept a little dazed, and vaguely heard Shan Zhuo talking to him:

"Where did the little master come from? What is the law name? Now that His Majesty wants monks to return to the world, why did you come out like this?"

"Huh? Does His Majesty actually want monks to return to the world? Why should we be vulgar? The little monk's name is Ai Dye, but he is just a novice, and he can't be called a master. I came up from Yunbai Mountain, and this is the first time I have come down from the mountain."

"Yunbai Mountain...... That's a long way away, you just went down the mountain, and no one caught you?" Shan Zhuo screamed in surprise, and He Mulan, who closed his eyes and calmed his nerves, frowned.

The two children are so noisy.

It's hard to get up early and travel, why are they so energetic?

Could it be that she is not mentally good in her thirties?

"I haven't been into the city much, our temple is built on the mountain, I am used to walking in the mountains, I have never seen a living person, I am afraid when I see people, and it is uncomfortable to walk on the dirt road. I walked through the woods, digging for something to eat when I was hungry, and I didn't meet anyone. If I hadn't gotten lost, I wouldn't have made a detour to this populated area."

"Sounds so hard." Shan Zhuo let out a slight sigh. You'd better change your outfit and go out, put on a hat and change into a layman's clothes. Otherwise, not to mention Dongping County, even the small county in front of it can't get by. You can't keep walking the mountain road, what if there is no mountain like now?"

"This, is it difficult for the little monk to go to the clothes first?"

Love touched his head with a painful face.

In the winter, he was bareheaded, and Shan Zhuo looked cold.

"Where's your clothes?"

"In my package. Yes! He cried out in panic. Where did my package go?"

Hermulan was startled by his startled cry and opened his eyes.

I saw that the little monk jumped up all of a sudden, took off his coat in a panic, handed it to Shan Zhuo, and put on his wet clothes and wet shoes indiscriminately, saluted them, and ran away in a hurry.

The kiln is narrow, there is only a broken opening to allow a person to bend in, the little monk is thin and weak, and he gets out quickly, Ah Danzhuo shouted a few times in the back, but he didn't have time to hold him, and saw him rush into the wind and rain all of a sudden, and disappeared.

"This little novice has so fast legs, no wonder he said that he grew up in the mountains......" Shan Zhuo was also dumbfounded.

He Mullan sat up and looked out with a wry head.

With such a heavy rain, the little novice didn't even have a coat, wouldn't he be sick?

She and Shan Zhuo waited until the rain stopped and did not wait for the little monk to come back, He Mulan thought about it, took out a set of his old clothes and put them in the cave, and took off the Xianbei fur hat on his head to protect against the cold, and pressed it on top of the clothes.

Shan Zhuo is burly, although he is tall, he is not strong, and his heavy clothes in winter will not make people suspicious.

If this little monk waits to find something, he will definitely come here to clean up his own. Putting down this set of clothes can be regarded as a cover for him, so as not to go into the city stupidly, be arrested by the officials to serve the conscription, and be forced to return to the vulgar.

Shan Zhuo also put down the fire sickle and a pair of fire velvet, and put a few more Hu cakes. They don't know if they can use these things when they come back, but if they can help, maybe they can help him a lot.

Fearing that it would rain again, they could not spend the night here, so the two of them restarted their way and rode away

After the kiln, riding a horse for half a day, it is a county seat.

Fang'an is a small county, not only can it not be compared with a big county like Xiang County, but it is not even a middle county like Yucheng, the city walls in this place are short and dilapidated, but when he thought that there was hot water to wash his feet and a hot meal to eat, He Mulan suddenly had no picky heart.

The two of them inquired about an honest-looking old man, and found a reliable "house", that is, a place where the people rented their houses to travelers, and took a break.

Most of the residents in this house are not afraid of robbery and theft, and there are stables in this house, and there are even men to help you feed the horses, as long as you can afford the price.

He Mulan tore two feet red from his pack horse. [,！ Aya, as a house and horse feed for a few days here. Red silk is the most popular fabric, but anyone who is particular about it, and their biological children love to use this shiny silk fabric to make a face.

He Mulan usually buys things, and knows how much her red silk is worth, so she first gave him a foot, and then said that she would stay for two or three days, and then give another foot before leaving. The parents of the house were very happy, and the family immediately boiled hot water and fed the horses, which made He Mulan sigh - whether it is ancient or modern, you still have to have money when you go out.

She and Shan Zhuo spent two days here, in addition to replenishing some food on the road, but also to let the horse rest well.

Early in the morning of the third day, He Mulan and Adanzhuo were preparing to leave the city from the road they had come from, turning back and heading west to Shangdang County, when they found the figure of the little monk outside the city gate.

He was wearing the old clothes left by He Mulan, and he wore the Xianbei leather hat on the top of his head, because the clothes and hat were a little too big, and they were very ill-fitting on his body, like a child stealing the clothes of an adult, which was ridiculous.

What is even more suspicious is that he didn't even have shoes under his feet, and only stepped on the ground wearing a pair of tattered socks.

Because he was dressed so strangely, the guards at the city gate stopped him and interrogated him in turn, as if he had just stolen a thief from some Xianbei family, and was now running away with the stolen goods.

If ordinary people encounter this situation, take a few needles and threads on the body to the city gate official to "dredge" it, but this little monk covered the package behind him and did not open it, a few people pulled and pulled, a city gate official shot rudely, pushed the little monk to the ground, he fell to the ground, the oversized hat rolled to the ground at once, revealing a round head.

At this moment, everyone looked at it.

He Mulan couldn't bear to look directly and covered his eyes, and Ah Danzhuo took a breath, he couldn't believe that this little monk was so unlucky that he actually took off his hat in front of everyone.

If a monk refuses to return to the laity and is discovered, he will be thrown into hard labor in order to make up for the previous crime of "avoiding forced labor". Some of them are fine, but they just build bridges and pave roads, and if they encounter harsh ones, they will have to shed their skin if they don't die.

The heaviest work these monks do on weekdays is probably farming, if they really do coolies, most of them are tired and worse than dead, and it is miserable.

"Let's give him a hand." He Mullan patted Yue Ying. I'll go first, wait for you to get out of the city while you're in the chaos, and wait for me at the next intersection."

"Aunt Hua, what are you going to do?"

He Mullan sighed.

"Why do we all have a relationship, we can't let this little novice be arrested and serve as a servant, right?"

Although Shan Zhuo didn't know what He Mulan wanted to do, out of blind worship of Mulan, he gave way to the horse and let her go first.

The little monk had been pressed to the ground by a city gate official, but he firmly pressed the package under him, and the city gate official stepped forward to pull, He Mulan couldn't stand it anymore, touched Yue Ying's ears, suddenly shook the reins, and accelerated to run.

"Let's go, let's go, my horse is crazy!"

He Mullan shouted as he galloped forward.

"Oops! Help me! "

"Arima is crazy, run!"

Hermulan lay calmly on horseback, knowing she would be able to do it.

Although the speed of Yue Ying was fast, he spiritually avoided all the crowds and went straight to the bare-headed little novice on the ground.

Phew-

Yue Ying galloped by, and the figure on the horse's back suddenly disappeared all at once.

The two gatekeepers had already run away, and a woman screamed miserably through the doorway of the gate, as if she had seen the mad horse galloping out of the gate trampling the young man's head. There were also people shouting things like "Fall, fall, man fall".

He Mulan maintained a posture of bending over the side of Yueying, and moved the moment it sped past the little novice.

She grabbed the little novice's arm on the ground, and with the other hand swept over his waist and package, lifting him to Yue Ying's back.

Hide in the stirrups!

The most proud equestrian of the Xianbei boys!

People only saw the figure of the horse appear again in an instant, and at the moment when the figure appeared, the "crazy horse" burst out at a terrifying speed, and suddenly ran away without a trace.

Hey?

What about the bald monster kids on the ground?

Ai Ran, who was frightened, still kept her stomach and hands tightly pressed on the package, and her back to the sky, kept screaming in her heart.

Buddha, is it such a terrible place under the mountain?

There are really jackals, tigers and leopards in this world!

They even want to rob the master!

He closed his eyes in despair, waiting for the moment when the package was snatched away, only to find that the pressure from his body suddenly lightened, followed by hurried footsteps, and all kinds of roars around him that suddenly became noisy.

The inexplicable force from his arms and waist made him feel weightless in an instant, and his brain was confused.

Did the Buddha come to his rescue?

Otherwise, why would he suddenly float?

Hey?

Floated up?

Floating in mid-air?

As soon as Airan opened her eyes with tears in her eyes, she suddenly landed on a warm object, which was still pulsating.

However, above the constantly jumping object, suddenly appeared. [,！ A strange wall.

Because of the tears, the wall in front of him was really not clear, as if he was confused, he stiffly stretched out a hand that was not holding the package, and touched the black wall that suddenly appeared in front of his nose.

"Hey, boy!"

He Mullan snorted angrily.

"If you touch me again, I'll drop you down!"
