Zhu Yuenuan returned to the tree house, and when she looked up, she saw the old man sitting on it drinking a little wine leisurely, and on the tree, the wolves were randomly in a circle, she took a look and walked over slowly.

"Girl, they're gone?" Seeing her, Wu Laohan asked with a smile.

"Hmm." Zhu Yuenuan nodded, her eyes wandered around the old man again, walked to the gray wolf, sat on the stone on the side, stretched out her hand to stroke its head, and her thoughts drifted away.

"That kid has a lot of heart for you." The old man took another sip, smacked his mouth, stuffed the wooden cork back into the mouth of the gourd, and slowly climbed up on the ground of the tree house, "Girl, you take these wolves away, you are not here, they are all surrounded below, I can't help if I want to relieve myself, suffocate the old man." ”

"Okay." When Zhu Yuenuan heard this, she couldn't help laughing, and immediately stood up, took out Tao Xun and blew it, and left under the tree house.

The wolves followed slowly.

On the edge of the mountain stream deep in the dense forest, Zhu Yuenuan stopped, found a place to sit down at random, and just took the Tao Xun to blow, and commanded the wolves to hunt nearby.

After this period of training and actual combat, coupled with the absolute obedience of the two wolf cubs to her, she is now much more proficient in commanding these wolf soldiers.

Half an hour later, there were a dozen hares and two dozen pheasants piled at her feet, and she picked two hares and two pheasants to keep, and threw the rest to the wolves to eat.

After waiting for the wolves to eat and drink, Zhu Yuenuan led the walk back.

After passing a mountain, I looked up and saw the gate at the foot of the mountain.

This time, the gate was hit hard, full of devastation, and from a distance, it looked like a piece of burnt cake, and at this time, people in the city came and went, and they were busy cleaning up the mess.

Zhu Yuenuan stopped and looked at it for a long time before biting her lip slightly and leaving.

For several days, she fixed herself on the same line back and forth, watching the ashes of the large area of the gate gradually regain her vitality, and her tightly knit eyebrows were slightly relaxed.

"Girl, I'm sorry for you." At dusk on this day, after eating, the old man suddenly spoke.

"You say." Zhu Yuenuan stopped cleaning up and sat down opposite the old man.

"I'm done drinking, you help me get some back, the weather is always cloudy these days, my old cold legs seem to be a little uncomfortable, too lazy to move." Wu Laohan untied the wine gourd and put it on the table with a smile.

"......" Zhu Yuenuan looked at the wine gourd, stunned for a moment.

"You Cui's wine is good, but it's a pity that she has now transferred the tavern out, my wine, it was still prepared for me by You Hong, and I don't know if it's from the tavern now." The old man chattered and didn't urge her.

"Okay." Zhu Yuenuan pursed her lips slightly, her eyes flickered, and she reached out to take it.

"Good work." The old man laughed like a fox in triumph.

"It's fine." Zhu Yuenuan shook her head and continued to clean up the dishes.

"I'll come here, I'll come." Wu Laohan immediately snatched the things in her hand and waved at her, "Go quickly, remember to come back early, you are not here, I look at those wolves and are frightened, especially at night, those eyes are like ghost fire, scary." ”

"Okay." Zhu Yuenuan smiled, nodded, and returned to the tree house next door with the wine gourd.

The door closed, she leaned against the door and let out a long breath, looked down at the wine gourd in her hand, groaned slightly, then walked quickly to the edge of the bed, took a set of men's clothes from the package and changed it, and made some modifications to herself, changed her appearance, and then hung the wine gourd on her waist and strode out of the mountain.

The sunset is like blood, reflecting the streets of Qimen, the blackened walls are connected with new stones, the old and the new are distinct, the people are busy mixing white mud to paste outside, and the street can be seen everywhere to wash the ashes.

Shi Chengzheng was standing in front of the bulletin board and talking to a few fast catchers, and a few squires from the gate had just walked into the yamen.

Zhu Yuenuan's eyes swept away, and she passed by casually.

Occasionally, a few people saw her, but they just glanced at her curiously, and they were busy and didn't pay attention to it.

"Remember? Especially in that area, you should look for it carefully, and if there are any clues, come back immediately and report it. Shi Cheng ended the conversation, waved away a few headhunters, turned around, and looked at him, "Huh? ”

Surprised, he walked a few steps briskly, his eyes turned to doubt, and he said to himself, "Is it wrong?" ”

After staring in the direction of the street for a while, he frowned, touched his head and entered the yamen.

The night gradually darkened, and after the busy day, everyone dispersed one after another, and Chu Yitong sat alone in the study to review the official documents.

"My lord, General Zhu's letter." Guan Zaohe walked into the door quickly with a sealed letter.

When Chu Yitong heard this, he immediately put down the pen in his hand, took the letter, put it on the candle and roasted it slightly, opened the letter, and for a moment, he showed a slightly relaxed smile.

"My lord, but there is good news?" Guan Zaohe looked at Chu Yitong's expression and asked with concern.

Chu Yitong handed him the letter and said with a smile: "The imperial court will send troops to take over the ore veins in the near future, and in the future, the gate will be safe." ”

"Send troops? Wouldn't that expose the vein? Guan Zaohe said worriedly, immediately looked down at the letter, and after reading it, he breathed a sigh of relief, "It turned out that General Zhu sent someone over, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone." ”

"Well, this matter should not be publicized, when the time comes, Master Laoguan will bother to arrange it." Chu Yitong nodded.

"Finally something comfortable." Guan Zaohe smiled, folded the letter carefully, and handed it back to Chu Yitong with both hands, "As soon as the vein is opened, we will be able to cast weapons and make agricultural tools, and now that the spring equinox has passed, this agricultural matter must be implemented as soon as possible." ”

"I have carefully considered this matter, and I will ...... it in a few days."

"Knock knock~~" Just as he was saying this, there was a knock on the door, interrupting Chu Yitong's words.

"Who's outside the door?" Chu Yitong looked up and asked lightly.

"My lord, the concubine is Cui's." Outside the door, the third lady of the prefect's family stood outside the door with two rings, holding a tray in her hand, and bowed her head in response.

"Cui's?" Chu Yitong frowned, looking puzzled.

"My lord, it's the third lady of the prefect's family." Seeing this, Guan Zaohe immediately reminded in a low voice.

Chu Yitong was stunned, but his brows never relaxed: "The third lady came here so late, but is there something?" ”

"The adults are busy with official business, and there is no one to take care of them, so the concubine is really unbearable, so she deliberately went to the kitchen to stew a cup of bird's nest porridge, hoping to relieve the adult's fatigue." Cui Xin said in a coquettish voice.

"This county has its own attendants around it, how can it work for distinguished guests? It's not early, and the personnel in the yabu are complicated, so the third lady should go back. Chu Yitong said lightly, and didn't open her mouth at all to let her in.

"Your Excellency." Cui Xin hurriedly shouted, flattened her mouth aggrievedly, and said, "For the sake of the concubine's hard stew for a long time, just accept it." ”

"No, please go back." When Chu Yitong heard this, he even omitted the kind words, and his tone was quite cold.

Guan Zaohe stood silently on the side, pretending to be invisible.

"Are you afraid that the concubine will do something?" Cui Xin was not discouraged, took a step forward, put one hand against the doorknob, and said softly, "The concubine has no relatives and no reason in the door, and the only cousin I know is no longer there, and there is only you ...... the door."

Zhu Yuenuan hid on the roof, watching Cui Xin's pretentiousness, her lips tightly pursed into a line, and her fists clenched unconsciously.

"The concubine knows, my lord, you had a misunderstanding with my cousin before, and the concubine also knows that my cousin offended Mrs. for me, if you can, the concubine is willing to find Mrs. for the adult, and ...... in the future The concubine volunteered to serve in front of the lady. Cui Xin said this, her face turned red, and her head was almost buried in her chest.

"What a shame!" Zhu Yuenuan glared in Cui Xin's direction and muttered, without thinking about it, she casually pulled half a tile, used force in her hand, and shot out.

"Ahh Cui Xin screamed, the hot bird's nest in her hand fell on the door, splashing all of it, and her whole person involuntarily fell soft, pounced on the door, smashed the door down, and fell in.

"Miss!!" The two maids looked at their young lady dumbfounded, and didn't react for a while.

Chu Yitong and Guan Zao in the room raised their heads in unison and looked at this scene in dismay.

"Ahem~~" Cui Xin coughed twice, and looked up crying: "Adult......"

There are sticky bird's nest porridge everywhere on the head, face, and body, but I have to put on a delicate appearance of being pitiful and pearish.

Guan Zaohe only glanced at him, and he couldn't help laughing, but he quickly restrained himself and stopped laughing.

Chu Yitong looked at it coldly, but stood up and walked in front of Cui Xin, and suddenly, his eyes fell on the broken tiles outside the door, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.

"My lord......" Seeing this, Cui Xin immediately blushed and raised her right hand shyly.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yitong bypassed her directly, stepped out of her legs, leaned over and picked up a few small tiles, and showed surprise on his face: "Nuan Nuan ......" looked around, and his feet had automatically arrived in the yard, looked at the roof and shouted: "Nuan Nuan, is it you?" ”

Guan Zao and Wensheng followed, but he didn't give face like Chu Yitong, standing in front of Cui Xin, and reminded the two maids: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Hurry up and help your young lady back to the room and see where she was hurt. ”

Only then did the two maids come back to their senses and rushed up and helped Cui Xin up.

Chu Yitong had already left the courtyard and came to the yamen, and happened to meet Shi Cheng, grabbed him and asked, "Shi Cheng, have you ever seen Madame?" ”

"Huh? Where's Madame? Shi Cheng was stunned by the question, and subconsciously asked rhetorically.

Chu Yitong let go of his hand, walked a few steps quickly, stood in front of the yamen and looked around, and after a long time, he withdrew his gaze gloomily, looked down at the tiles in his hand, and sighed: "Nuan Nuan ......"

"What an idiot!" Zhu Yuenuan snorted coldly, carried a few jars of wine and a few paper bags and hid behind the alley, bypassing a few uninhabited streets and alleys, and still went out from the east of the city. (To be continued.) )
