Everyone stood at the mouth of the cave, watching from afar Batu disappear into the woods with his guards, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of tragedy in their hearts. The second prince was stabbed to death, the old Khan died violently, and now the new Khan is trying his best to cover up the crime of killing his brother and killing his father. While saving his life, he even had to establish a force in order to lay the foundation for the return of the little master. How hard is that? Whether they succeed or not, such loyalty is enough to make everyone admire...

Murong Huaide turned around and glanced at the innermost flat ground of the cave, and beckoned to everyone, "Let's go too, the later you go, the greater the risk." ”

Everyone nodded, packed their bags, re-wrapped their wounds, and prepared to cross the mountains.

On weekdays, the mountain is a little steep, but it doesn't take half a day to complete. But now half of the wounded in the team, as well as women and children, walked for a day and a night before everyone set foot on the land of Daqi again.

General Wu probably thought that they had all gone to the depths of the grassland, and there were not many soldiers left to guard the valley, and everyone successfully passed through the blockade line and gradually moved away from the military city. That night, a few secret guards entered a village, stole some dry food, and everyone hurried to the first town next to the official road after barely replenishing their stomachs.

The little steward who had arranged to answer him before was in a hurry and almost hanged himself, thinking that he would go to the vicinity of the military city to greet him as soon as it was dawn. I didn't want to see the masters arrive suddenly, although there were more wolves and more people than expected, but the steward was still so happy that he couldn't kowtow and thank all the Buddha masters.

Murong Huaide stopped the steward and kowtowed, and tiredly pointed to his already swollen arm, and ordered, "Hurry up and find the wounded medicine and doctor arranged earlier, and deal with the injured first." ”

The little steward was so startled that he immediately ran out, and soon an old doctor came in with a box, cleaned the wounds of everyone in turn, bandaged them with medicine, and prescribed medicine and soup for those who were seriously injured.

Dong Rong couldn't bear to watch the doctor squeeze the pus and blood of Murong Huaide, so she took Gardi around the courtyard. This is a typical Northland farmhouse yard, the house is in the style of wearing boots and hats, that is, the lower part is built with bluestone one-third of the height, and the rest is replaced with green bricks, and the roof is paved with gray tiles, which looks simple and solid.

A young man was taking care of the carriage and horses, Dong Rong guessed that it was the housemother with the child, so he ran to the wing room and came out with a box of snacks, and finally sent it to him with a red face, and whispered, "Madam, this is the food that the little ones eat on weekdays, if you don't dislike the rudeness, use two pieces first." ”

Dong Rong took it with a smile and responded, "Thank you for this little brother, it's hard for you to accept us on such a cold day." ”

The young man didn't expect to hear the master's mother thank him, and waved his hand excitedly, "Madame is tormenting the little one, and it is right to contribute to the master." With that, he saluted and ran back to his work.

Gardi frowned and whispered, "Auntie, if you treat slaves so kindly, will they still be afraid of you?" ”

Dong Rong was stunned when she heard this, and then led him to sit on the wooden bench under the eaves of the porch, and said, "Gardi, you Ama entrusted you to me, you are the righteous son of me and the prince, and I am also half of your mother." In this case, it is my responsibility and that of the prince to teach you. Therefore, there are some truths, and my mother will tell you anytime and anywhere. You may not understand it yet, but you must keep it in mind. ”

It was the first time that Gardi had seen his aunt speak so solemnly to him, so he quickly stood up and bowed in response, "Please... The mother's admonition is to be taken to heart by the child. ”

Dong Rong nodded, pulled him to sit down again, and then said in a low voice, "Previously, your Marfa was the Khan King, and your Ama was His Royal Highness the Prince, and you were under their protection, naturally no one dared to hurt you, and even as soon as you opened your mouth, there would be countless people loyal to you."

Seriously, they are not loyal to you, but they value the glory and wealth that the forces behind you will bring them. But now that you have the protection of Marfa and Amma, and you are just a fugitive brother, you have to change your old ways. Blindly suppressing subordinates with coercion sometimes makes people rebellious, and it must be supplemented by kindness, and it is best to combine grace and power.

Just like I thanked the young man just now. We are in danger of dying at any moment, that is, we have no coercion and human power, and people are taking the risk to meet us here. If we still don't know how to lower our posture appropriately, and we keep beating and scolding others, it will be too hurtful. Without coercion and ignorance of grace, who is willing to work for our safety? ”

Galdi could hear it, and although he was intelligent from birth, he was very favored by the king of Khan. But his mother died in childbirth, and Amma was not by his side, and no one had ever told him so much about the truth. Therefore, no matter what the reason is, he is also deeply warmed by this love.

Dong Rong thought that the child had been hit, so she gently grabbed him and comforted, "You are still young, even if you don't understand, it doesn't matter, your mother will teach you more in the future." ”

After Wu Qien bandaged the wound, seeing that the little master was not in the house, he called Su De to help him out to look for it, and just heard Dong Rong's words clearly. At this time, without waiting for the little master to respond, he stepped forward and knelt down, choked up and said, "Mrs. Xie has taken such trouble to teach the eldest brother, our Highness must be grateful in the Immortal Heaven." ”

Su De also knelt down crying, the two of them had doubts because His Royal Highness entrusted the little master to Dong Rong, and only then did they know how wise the dead Highness was.

Dong Rong was taken aback by the two of them, and hurriedly said, "What are you doing, you will be a family in the future, you can't be so polite." ”

Gardi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stepped forward and personally helped Su De and Wu Qien, and said in a low voice, "Grandpa Su De, Uncle Wu Qien, I am the one who has caused you to leave the grassland, I will work hard to learn skills in the future, and I will definitely take you back to the grassland when I grow up." When the time comes, the sheep in the pasture will be as you choose. ”

Gardi thought he was right, but the actual traces were still too heavy. But Su De and Wu Qien were very happy, not for that promise, but for the little master to learn and apply the truth he had just heard so quickly. A wise master who knows how to listen to advice is a blessing for all followers.

glanced at each other twice, knelt down and kowtowed again, and responded, "Thank you for the master's reward!" ”

As soon as these words came out, they really followed Gardi as their master, not the son of His Royal Highness the Second Prince.

Gardi also heard the difference, and looked at Dong Rong happily. Dong Rong smiled and nodded, and then he reached out and helped the two of them up.

Murong Huaide's injured arm was hung from his chest, and after standing at the door at this time and seeing enough of the excitement, he said, "If you have a good rest, let's eat quickly, and we will have to travel more while it is night." ”

"Yes, lord." Everyone responded and got busy again. Soon, an hour later, a carriage and a procession of a dozen horses were on the road again. Originally, Dong Rong was going to carry Gardi into the carriage, but Murong Huaide insisted on throwing him on the back of the horse and scolded him sternly, "Since you are going to return to the grassland in the future, how can you not ride a horse?" Man, you must understand the truth, but you must learn the ability to protect yourself. ”

With that, he slapped the horse on the back, and Gardi was led away by the horse. He was so frightened that he wanted to scream, but remembered that he was sneaking at night, so he bit his lip desperately to endure the horror.

Both Uqien and Sude knew that their masters had been afraid of horses since they were children, and this matter had spread throughout the steppe, and if it weren't for the protection of King Khan, they wouldn't know what it would be like to be ridiculed and bullied.

Seeing this, the two hurriedly hit their horses to catch up, one left and one right, and gave guidance from time to time, but neither of them pleaded or saved the master.

Murong Huaide led people to follow behind, and smiled with satisfaction when he saw this. Dong Rong ignored the cold wind, lifted the curtain and looked at Gardi, and almost tore the handkerchief in her hand with worry, and then hardened her heart and stopped looking.

Gardi has too much hatred and responsibility on his shoulders, and is destined to work hard, and now it is only the beginning.

In this way, after traveling at night, everyone finally arrived at a small valley twenty miles north of Qingxian County three days later. As soon as Jia didn't wait for the carriage and horses to settle down, he simply changed his clothes and went back to Qingxian to inquire about the news.

In the county town, the old shopkeeper had already cashed out the cloth village, and took the most clever youngest son to guard the small courtyard of the secret contact of the trading house, and Bingsan, who came from Kyoto, were anxiously waiting for the return of the master.

When he finally saw Jia, who was dressed as a beggar, came to the door, the old shopkeeper was so happy that he almost shed tears, and when he saw that there was no one in the alley, he pulled him directly into the door.

Hearing that the prince and the master mother were fine, the old shopkeeper was also relieved, and finally sighed when he talked about Qingxian here, "The day before yesterday, there were 1,000 cavalry from the military city. They didn't even enter the county office, so they rushed directly to the orchard to arrest people, and when they saw that there was no one in the orchard, they went to Yimian Po and Huaishu Village.

The eldest daughter of the Cao family and his wife refused to leave at the beginning, but they were unlucky at this time and were thrown into prison and locked up. I asked people to investigate, and the general who captured the man was a ruthless man, and he directly smashed the orchard to pieces, and someone in the village stopped him and was injured. The Cao family is not in any danger in prison for the time being, I heard that they have to wait for the will of the court, otherwise they will be killed directly. ”

Jia Yi frowned, thought about it and asked Bing San, "What news does Mr. Feng have?" ”

Bingsan hurriedly said, "Mr. wants me to sue the prince, everyone has been sent to the place, so that the princess and princess can rest assured." In addition, all the shops and industries that have passed the eyes of the people have been redeemed, and there are still thirty percent of the shops that have gone into the dark. As for the court, Mr. also arranged a backhand, although he couldn't borrow much strength, but it was still easy to get a message. ”

After that, Bingsan looked annoyed, and said, "Mr. didn't expect that the news would leak out, and the head of the sect in the secret camp and the brothers who did not have Yicheng escorted the little master south. Only we, the C-shaped group, were around to call, and we knew that it was so dangerous, and we should have rushed to respond. ”R638
