The weather in the winter months became colder and colder, the north wind howled wantonly, and the unfinished fortifications inside and outside Qimen County had to be stopped.

The catchers were busy, going in and out every day, in a hurry.

Zhu Yuenuan changed her previous early departure and late return, and only went to the school field once a day to take a look, and then she took her eagle and two wolf cubs that had grown up a lot and disappeared without a trace, until dusk did she appear again in the school field, listen to the report of Xu Zhi and others, and then returned to the yamen after two sentences.

"Escort Zhu." On this day, Zhu Yuenuan turned around and wanted to leave, but Ah Nong stopped her quickly.

Ah Nong was wearing a white-washed shirt, but there were not as many patches as before, but there was a little sadness between his eyebrows, and he looked at Zhu Yuenuan with doubts, worries, and caution.

"What's wrong with Nong?" Zhu Yuenuan stopped her steps and looked at Ah Nong with a smile, with a good attitude, and her eyes did not evade.

"I've seen you come and go in a hurry these days, but you're sick again?" Ah Nong bit his lip slightly, still insisted on looking directly at Zhu Yuenuan, and asked in a low voice.

"With Xu Zhi and you taking care of me here, I can spare some time to do other things." Zhu Yuenuan smiled, noticing the gazes cast by Xu Zhi and You Cui not far away, she glanced at it, and said, "It's been a hard day, Ah Nong should go back and rest early." ”

"I'm not tired." Ah Nong shook his head in his heart, narrowed his eyes slightly when he wanted to speak, as if he had made up his mind, he raised his head again, and there was a certain resolute look in his eyes, "Zhu Huwei, I'...... I have something to tell you. ”

"Anon." Zhu Yue's warm eyes looked at Ah Nong and smiled, "Ah Nong, but it's an important matter?" If it doesn't matter, can it be postponed? I've been running a little tired these days, I want to ......" Speaking of this, she stopped her mouth at the right time and looked at Nong apologetically.

Nong's eyes suddenly turned red, and there was a faint glint in his eyes.

Zhu Yuenuan didn't start, and looked not far away, You Cui and Xu Zhi had already left the school field, and there were only her and Ah Nong in the entire school field, and after a while, she withdrew her gaze and smiled at Ah Nong: "It's not early, go home quickly." ”

After that, he beckoned the two wolf cubs who were still having fun and were about to leave.

"Escort Zhu." Nong called out hurriedly behind him.

"Anon." Zhu Yuenuan stopped, looked at Ah Nong slightly, her tone was light, and her expression was stern.

"I want to know that you promised us to follow you...... Can you still count? Ah Nong blinked desperately to force back his tears, and asked calmly after enduring the grievance.

"Count naturally." Zhu Yuenuan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

"That'...... That's it. Hearing this, Ah Nong glanced at Zhu Yuenuan deeply, and suddenly lowered his head and ran quickly.

Zhu Yuenuan looked at Ah Nong's back wordlessly, and couldn't help but sigh when she raised her hand to wipe her tears when she ran.

Back at the back office, Zhu Fu was already waiting.

"How's it going?" Zhu Yuenuan locked the wolf cub back, and the eagle re-wrapped the black cloth and locked it back on the eagle frame, and asked Zhu Fu while taking the hot water sent by You Hong to clean his hands.

"Cui Xingshu has news there, he has already sent someone to investigate, and he has also got the news, before the end of the year, those people in the mountains will definitely do it again, I am worried that Yuecha will ...... them" Zhu Fu said this, sighing.

"Don't worry about them, in short, we will guard it ourselves, and we can take as much as we want." Zhu Yuenuan smiled indifferently, "I have gained some in the past few days, and I have initially found out the whereabouts of those wolves...... I can't delay any longer, I have to get this done before Yu Zhi comes back. ”

"Miss, we have the support of the people in the city, and we have the skill of the mechanism, this wolf soldier...... The head wolf is untamable, you are a new learner, it is too risky, I think it is still ......" Zhu Fu heard this, and couldn't help but persuade again.

"Fubo, you know our situation best, although those people have not moved now, but it does not mean that they will stand still, although there are many people in the city, they are not as good as those outlaws." Zhu Yuenuan put down the cloth in his hand, turned to Zhu Fu, looked at him seriously face-to-face, and analyzed, "I originally promised Yu Zhi that I would not go into the mountain alone, but now the situation is different, where the iron mine is, if we want to make good use of it without being known, we must first clear the surrounding hidden dangers, otherwise, for us, for the people of Qimen County, it is a catastrophe, and even if the heroes on Longwei Mountain all follow the county government, it is only hundreds of thousands of people......"

Zhu Fu's expression was solemn: "Why don't you send someone to deliver a letter to the adults and ask him to come back earlier?" ”

"No need, he also has important things to do when he goes to the government, how the people survive this winter, next year's seeds will also have to be solved, and what he is facing is only afraid that it will be more difficult than the few wolves I faced." Zhu Yuenuan shook her head and was resolute.

"But you go into the mountain alone,......" Zhu Fu was still not very relieved, "Can't you wait for Yuecha and them to arrive?" ”

"If they come, I won't be able to go." Zhu Yuenuan smiled, "Don't worry, Fu Bo, I know how to take care of myself, if we have wolf soldiers in our hands, perhaps, we don't have to be afraid of those people in the future." ”

"Mademoiselle has always been assertive." Zhu Fu sighed and nodded, "I'll go and prepare." ”

Zhu Yuenuan let out a long breath, sat down in front of the dresser, took out the envelope of Yue tea and looked at it, but did not open it, coiled it in her hand for a moment, bowed her head and pondered.

You Hong sent hot water in, and saw Zhu Yuenuan sitting there motionless, her side face hidden in the half-light and half-darkness, she couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately lightened her steps and went in, and after placing the hot water, she returned to Zhu Yuenuan's side and said softly: "Madam." ”

When Zhu Yuenuan heard this, her drooping eyelashes flickered a few times, and she raised her eyes to look at her.

"Hot water is ready." You Hong looked at her and added, "Madame is emaciated again." ”

"Hmm." Zhu Yuenuan nodded, put the letter back again, got up and walked to the clean room, but after walking a few steps, she stopped again and turned her head to look at You Hong, "I'm going to enter the mountain in the next two days, there's nothing to do here, you can also take a few days off and go and accompany You Cui." ”

"Madame wants to go into the mountains?" You Hong was stunned.

"Hmm." Zhu Yuenuan looked at her and responded casually.

"Madame has just arrived, I'm afraid that I am not familiar with this mountain, and it is not appropriate to enter the mountain alone, so let's find a guide." You Hong raised her head and looked directly at Zhu Yuenuan, and said calmly, "My sister knows the road in the Dragon Scale Mountain best, and when she was young, she used to be with ...... My former brother-in-law went up to the mountains to collect medicine and hunt game. ”

"She?" Zhu Yuenuan raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"Yes, there wasn't much of a bandit back then...... My brother-in-law died at the hands of those people, she has a grudge against them, she will definitely be willing to accompany you, as for Ah Le, these days, I can go to accompany him, or, let him come to Wang's place......" You Hong said this, seeing that Zhu Yuenuan was silent, she couldn't help but stop, a little apprehensive. R1152
