Chapter 261: Conflicting Feelings
Mo Yan's mind turned for a moment, and when he heard what seemed to be movement from the attic, he suddenly turned his head to look at the sound. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
There is actually movement, isn't the son waking up at this time?
Mo Yan was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately quickened his pace.
When he ran to the building, he suddenly relaxed his movements with scruples.
The whole North Park, including the attic, is too quiet here.
Standing here, there was barely any noise to be heard, except for the sound of the wind passing overhead.
Therefore, if there is movement in the building, it will be heard very clearly.
A slight sound sounded in Mo Yan's ears again.
He paused for a moment, and stood at the top of the stairs and glanced up the attic.
Then he quickened his pace and walked upstairs...... This contradictory mood.
He was looking forward to his son's wake-up soon, but he was also worried about what he was going to do next.
In case of hard work, Childe's rest these days are like a soup.
Mo Yan was almost certain that this time Childe was indeed awake!
Once Childe wakes up, he may have a new task to do.
It was just a hunch on his part.
...... I walked out of the perimeter of the camp and glanced in the direction where the camp was.
Strangely, how come a few of the people who left in the morning to pick up the newcomers from the Pioneer Camp haven't come back until now?
Just now, General Han mentioned to me that one of them, called Ah Kang, that is, the one who had been with him for several years, actually mentioned my matter to him before leaving!
The question was that the guy knew he would have to go that long before he left the camp...... Haven't come back yet?
Could it be that the task of taking on the recruits is not going well?
Shouldn't the remaining half of the people have to be escorted from all over the world? The vanguard battalion of the Wang Division has reached such an embarrassing point in order to gather manpower?
I shook my head at this point.
I don't know where we are at the moment, but I do know one thing.
Judging by the information I already know, plus the time spent on the road, I have calculated the distance...... I think this place we're in right now shouldn't be too far from Northland!
This is also to facilitate the subsequent transfer of manpower from the pioneer battalion to the Northland battlefield.
It is impossible to set the training site too far from the battlefield.
After all, the war is about to start!
There is less and less time left, and the situation will become more tense.
After thinking for a while, I couldn't come up with a clue, so with doubts in my heart, I walked towards the location of the training site where the waste firewood team was formed.
Along the way, I saw that some members of the team were still training, and there was no intention of stopping and resting.
I said that the new recruits who arrived later were in much better shape than the temporary companions who arrived at camp with me last night!
From them, I can see the appearance of preparing for battle, not the laziness of my temporary companions.
...... I passed by them and quickened my pace, because I was a little embarrassed to look at the other person's hard work.
I played chess with General Han in the camp for more than an hour.
For more than an hour, people have been training very hard.
When I got to where I was going, I saw that the eyes of those people were looking at me a little different.
I took the map and left under their gaze.
At this time, I can't tell what kind of feeling I feel in my heart, but I just feel that there are more envious eyes.
Is it a matter of playing chess with General Han in the camp...... Soon to be known by the people here?
In that case, the only gossip would be discussing things with General Han in the camp at this time!
As I approached the group, they were resting on the edge of the forest.
The discussion of the group was still focused on the war in the Northlands and the two officers in charge of the training camp who came today.
General Han and the unknown middle-aged officer will definitely help the people in the camp for several days of training.
When they saw me coming, a few people came up to inquire.
"Hey, where have you been, why haven't you been seen for a long time, could it be that you are lazy?"
Someone raised their voice and looked at me and asked.
None of them sounded unfriendly in their questioning tones.
I calmed down for a moment, looked at the man and said in a gentle tone: "No, it was the general who looked for me for something, so I didn't come back until now." ”
Several of them exchanged glances, suspicion flashing in their eyes.
One of them then looked at me and asked, "Hey, boy, do you really have a background and a backer?" ”
I calmly walked to the nearest position to the group and sat down on a clean rock.
I looked down and thought for a few seconds, then looked at them and said, "You asked me when I went to fetch water under the cliff near the camp. ”
"My answer is the same now!"
The corners of my mouth twitched slightly, and I looked at them in a somewhat casual tone and said, "I said, if I really have a backer, which officer is involved, will I be escorted to the camp with you?" ”
"That's right, maybe this kid ......"
The few who were farther away from me suddenly lowered their voices, looked at me for a while, and then looked down and whispered, looking mysterious.
I guessed the content of their conversation, and knew in my heart that it wouldn't be a nice thing.
Whatever! It's not the first time I've been told.
What they think has nothing to do with me.
I turned my head to look at the training groups in the distance of the camp and sighed.
Xindao has such a big gap between this group of people and others, and there is no hurry to waste useful time at the moment.
But when it comes to the battlefield, if you can't even compare to others, the possibility of survival is too small!
I sighed silently in my heart.
I never thought that the pioneer battalions were all sent to the front line to die, but the front line was more dangerous.
However, those who can survive the war, in addition to luck, are also very important!
...... Mo Yan had just walked to the bend of the stairs, just facing a window facing out of the attic.
Suddenly, his eyes swept over the curved bridge over the lake outside, and he was surprised to see a guard running towards him.
Mo Yan was stunned for a moment, the empress had a clear order, even if the people in the front yard came to deliver some medicine, they had to inform it in advance, why was this exception?
Could it be that the war in the Northland has begun?
Mo Yan's heart tightened, and he gave up the idea of continuing to go upstairs to inspect, and hurriedly turned back downstairs and went to the attic to answer.
The empress was on the hill at this moment, and there were only a few officers left in the front yard.
If these people had something, it stands to reason that they wouldn't suddenly come over and disturb their son-in-law.
Unless, there is something urgent!
Mo Yan walked outside the attic, and the guards on the curved bridge had already run over quickly, passing by some remaining snow on the way, and almost didn't slip.
"What's the matter?"
The first thing Mo Yan said when he saw the guards was to ask.
"Something, it's really important, the national teacher sent a message that people from the town will come to the house today."
The guard looked at Mo Yan and saluted, and lowered his voice.
"The person has already arrived in the front yard, and the general sent me to ask if Childe let the person in?"
Mo Yan was just about to answer, when he suddenly heard a voice from the attic again, he hurriedly looked at the guard and said, "You wait downstairs for a while, I'll ask immediately." ”
It is absolutely impossible for the guards to make up such a clumsy reason to disturb the national teacher, naturally because there is indeed a relationship mentioned in the letter sent.
Mo Yan thought about it in his heart, and he knew that most of it was the meaning of the prince himself, so whether to let the shopkeeper in the town come over and ask for a meeting, he had to ask him what he thought.
I don't know if it's convenient to ask Childe at this time!
...... The guards continued to look at the top of the attic with curious eyes.
He had the same speculation about this national teacher as those in the Sealand royal division.
Not long after, he saw Mo Yan's figure coming down from the upper floor and walked straight in front of him.
...... Under the trees in the front yard, the shopkeeper of a shop selling calligraphy and paintings in the town was shivering in the cold wind.
On the one hand, it's because of the weather, and on the other hand, it's a bit chilling.
After the king of Sealand arrived in the north, it was well known that the empress stayed in the town, and it was still in this mansion in the north of the town, and even the nearby streets were often patrolled by guards.
Now the shopkeeper has received an order to send some paper and pens from the store.
If you were someone else, you must be very worried.
He picked out some of the best things in the store...... On the way to come, he couldn't help but think of a stranger who had come to the store some time ago.
In fact, what happened at that time still makes him a little confused.
Today, I actually went directly to the place where the empress lived.
His mood at this moment is really indescribable.
A guard who passed under the tree stepped forward and said to him, "It's our national teacher who wants to see you." ”
The guard stared at him and said in a cold tone: "You have to be careful later, don't say more about what you shouldn't say, and don't ask more about what you shouldn't ask." ”
The shopkeeper shrank his neck, and shivered for a moment.
However, the attendants who passed by heard it and said to the guard: "He is worried enough, don't scare him." ”
The attendant stepped forward and said to the shopkeeper: "Don't worry, the national teacher is not in good health, most of them will not see you in person, it must be the people around him who come to see you." ”
"When the time comes, you just have to ask and answer."
The guard on the side looked at him and said, "Hearing you say that, you know the situation in the backyard better than I do." ”
"Then there can be a fake," the attendant said in a natural tone, not denying it, "Think about it, among the group of us who have arrived in the Northland with His Majesty, a few of us have walked around His Majesty the most, more than you." ”
His gaze moved to the attic behind him, and he paused and said, "The National Teacher lives in a simple place, we all know it." ”
The words he heard one after another made the shopkeeper's heart even more confused.
Who made him here?
The shopkeeper's heart suddenly jumped, could it be related to the stranger who came to the store some time ago?
Speaking of which, the strange person at that time also seemed to have said that he was involved with Wang Shi and couldn't ask more......
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper's eyes couldn't help but look in the direction of the backyard again, and his heart was uneasy.
Standing under the tree, he saw the attendants and guards passing by the corridor, and occasionally saw people dressed in military clothes passing by.
Of course, the empress didn't see it, and I heard that she went up the mountain to inspect it today.
The attic in the backyard is the highest in the area.
From where he stood, he could also see the roof of the attic.
Thinking that the national teacher of Sealand lived in it, the shopkeeper's eyes moved, and he couldn't help but look at the people passing by on the other side.
I heard that they rarely get close to that area, and it looks even more mysterious to others.
The shopkeeper thought of the gossip circulating in the town, and straightened up a little, waiting for the man who wanted to see him to arrive.
The attendant who passed the news turned back and reminded him: "Later, if someone asks you to go to the backyard, remember the person waiting to pick up and lead the way by the curved bridge." ”
The shopkeeper looked at him and couldn't help but open his mouth wide.
The attendant kindly reminded, "Don't go directly to the road on the curved bridge on the lake. ”
"There is more than one road here, but the road leading to the attic is the road taken by the talents around the National Teacher, and our people rarely go there."
"You'd better wait, it's safer to wait for someone to take you."
...... When Mo Yan came down from upstairs, his expression looked different from before.
The guards waiting downstairs glanced at the wind and immediately went up and asked, "You have already asked, what did the National Teacher say?" ”
"We'll have to wait," Mo Yan paused and continued in an unnatural tone, "Well, you take that person to the room at the end of the corridor on the east side of the attic." ”
Mo Yan glanced at him again and said, "When I finish my business here, I will go directly to see him." ”
After hearing this, the guard pondered and asked, "What about the things that the man brought?" Will you send it here now, or will you see it yourself? ”
"I have to see it before I can give it to Childe." Mo Yan said in a concise but decisive tone, "I'm tired of bringing someone over there first." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, I'll go right away." The guards bowed again, and hurried in the direction of the curved bridge.
Mo Yan looked at the man's back and shook his head helplessly.
He really couldn't understand why Childe wanted that person to come.
Could it be that there are some strange things here in the Northland, which cannot be collected in the capital of Sealand?
If Childe wants to, just one sentence, can people go all out to collect it for him?
Or is there something else that is important and you have to make a trip to meet the shopkeeper?
Mo Yan lowered his head, his gaze glancing over his sleeve.
I went upstairs just now to polish ink for Childe, and a small drop of ink splashed on the edge of my sleeve.
At this moment, he looked at the ink-stained blue sleeves and felt a little unsightly.
He really didn't expect that Childe's state seemed to be a little better today, but after getting up, he was busy painting. (To be continued.) )
