Bu Tong is graceful and elegant, with an outstanding temperament, whoever looks like an ordinary young lady, Muller grinned,

"You don't look like you're here to fight, but not all the women in the world are as gentle and lovely as Sister Yun, and the Changping County chief in Kyoto City is not a heroine among women?"

Bu Tong covered his mouth and smiled,

"What should your heroine look like?"

It just so happened that the proprietress came to deliver food, and one person dragged a big wooden plate and put down five hard dishes, and everyone at the table avoided thanking her.

"How can you have to have the appearance of the proprietress like that, so strong and mighty, in order to be worthy of the name of the county lord of Zhenguo."

Bu Tong raised his eyebrows unhappily, and opened his mouth,

"That's a strange point."

The proprietress was originally happy to listen to this handsome young man to praise herself, but in the end, she ridiculed the county lord by the way, and then glared at her eyes unhappily, and her chubby body was straight.

"This guest officer, you just laugh at me a few words, what kind of person is the county lord's mother, how can you be so offensive and joking, my shopkeeper was fortunate to see the county lord in Kyoto City a few years ago, it is like a goddess who is mortal in the sky, the county lord is sent by the gods in the sky to save us mortals."

The young man pursed his lips with a look of disdain, and finally waited until the proprietress was gone, and then turned around and complained,

"I'm afraid that the county lord of this step family is not a demon girl from the Western Regions? This is all some kind of ecstasy poured into some small people. ”

Chun Tao glared at him,

"If it's okay, you can leave, my young lady is going to rest!"

Muller got up and stretched,

"Didn't this Sister Yun say that she wanted to buy my sheep and hire me to take her to Yanmen Pass? This single master took it, and I am very familiar with that area. ”

Bu Tong looked up at him, "Okay." ”

I don't know why, it's obviously an ordinary teenager, and his speech is a little exaggerated and arrogant, but it doesn't make people feel disgusted, as if those prides are engraved in his bones and should belong to him.

Bu Tong was helpless in his heart, it turned out that this thing can save a person so far.

At night, Chun Tao was busy cleaning up the bed for Butong, while muttering,

"Miss, why do we want this person to lead the way, I think he is clearly a treacherous businessman who is mercenary, if he plots misdeeds on the road, I am afraid that our major affairs will be delayed."

Bu Tong smiled,

"It's just a young man, and the dead are all around, so what can he do? The most important thing for us now is to rush to Yanmen Pass as soon as possible to make arrangements in advance, not to worry about whether this young man is a profiteer. ”

Chun Tao pouted, "Miss, you just see that he is good-looking, so that's why you say good things for him." ”

Bu Tong smiled and went to push the spring peach,

"Go and tell the shopkeeper to kill the two sheep and clean them up, and tomorrow they will marinate the meat and bring it to us, and the rest of the sheep will be given to them."

Chun Tao was shocked, "Such a big reward? ”

Butong was really tired, half lying on the bed,

"Just as a reward for them for maintaining the lord of the county, we can't take away so many sheep around us, two is already the limit."

Chun Tao thought it was reasonable to hear this, so she turned around and went out.

Just when Butong began to be drowsy, there was a sudden knock on the door, and he thought it was Chun Tao back, and got up in a daze and said,

"Coming back so soon? The door was unlocked. ”

But from outside came the voice of Mueller, very low,

"Sister Yun, let's move quickly, there are already chaotic people outside entering the city, and if the city is closed later, you won't be able to leave."

Bu Tong suddenly came to his senses, got up and went out to look at the young man who was as energetic as the day outside,

"What rags?"

Miller listened vigilantly to the movement outside and explained,

"The refugees from the seven cities in the north fled from the towns and came in the direction of the south, and the lack of water and food along the way exposed the nature of people, and wherever they went, they either stole or robbed, and now the towns in the north have been closed down, and if they don't leave, they can't get out."

When Bu Tong heard this, he instantly became alert, turned his head and shouted, "July! ”

July quickly appeared at the door of the next room, and Bu Tong instructed him,

"Go to the kitchen and find Chun Tao, ask her to come back immediately to pack up our things, and we are ready to go out of the city."

Muller "tsk" out loud,

"Sister Yun, you are really generous, the coachman lives in the house."

July passed, his eyes were heavy and he glanced at Muler, the young man closed his mouth directly, and waited until July's figure disappeared at the corner of the stairs, and then he took a few big breaths, "Your coachman is a little angry." ”

Bu Tong smiled

"It's also a guard, Brother Mu may ride a horse?"

Muller raised his chin,

"That's nature."

Butong clapper briskly,

"Then buy a horse with the shopkeeper, and we'll set off at once."

Chun Tao hurriedly came back to pack her bags, not nervous and uneasy at all, but told Bu Tong with a smile that the shopkeeper and his wife were so happy that they were going to give the sheep to them, and immediately disposed of the two sheep, which were now tied to the back of the car.

Bu Tong nodded, but quickly packed his bags together, the three of them got into the carriage, and Mu Le rode a horse to follow, pointing in a direction and running over in the night.

As soon as he drove out of the city, he heard the guards at the city gate behind him shouting,

"Close the gates, the rioters are coming! No one is allowed to open the door without an order from Lord Yoon. ”

When Chun Tao heard this, she realized that something was wrong, and immediately became nervous, and grabbed Butong's hand, "Miss, what kind of chaotic people?" Didn't we just run into each other when we went out of town? ”

Miller listened to these words and grinned to reassure Chun Tao,

"Don't panic, this girl, let's not go forward, turn west, so that although we only pass through some villages and towns, the journey is faster than crossing the city."

Bu Tong nodded hurriedly,

"Okay, let's listen to your route, as long as we can reach Yanmen Pass early, we can do anything."

The carriage then turned around and went into the woods, and after walking for less than half an hour, Muller suddenly jumped off his horse and shouted,

"Turn the lights out!"

At the same time, July happened to hear a movement not far away, quickly extinguished the lantern that had been hanging above the carriage, and stopped the horses to look around.

Bu Tong quietly lifted the curtain of the carriage, looking at the torches and the crowd of people in the distance, there were no less than 100 people, and his party and horses and vehicles were hidden in the bushes and grasslands, tightly shielded, and the outside was categorically invisible.

"Who is that?"

Miller bit a wolf tooth hanging from his neck in his mouth, and opened his mouth low,

"It's a refugee."

Bu Tong looked like a walking corpse, his movements were stiff, his face was blurred, and he walked slowly towards the place where Bu Tong and they just came out.

"But they can't get in."

Muller beckoned July to walk forward slowly, sighing quietly,

"It's also impossible, it's just ordinary people who escaped so far just to survive."

Bu Tong looked at the hazy moonlight above his head,

"I hope that the army will soon go to the border to quell this catastrophe, so that everyone can live a peaceful life."

Muller scoffed,

"You don't even want your brother to go to war, but you hope that the army will solve the border difficulties, and the emotional others can die, but your brother can't?"

These words suddenly made Bu Tong not know how to answer, and finally only asked,

"Why did Brother Mule take us to Yanmen Pass?"

Slowly moving away from those refugees, Mueller also began to regain his liveliness, winking at Butong,

"Because I'm also going back, so it's better to give you a while."

Bu Tong looked at the young man's black hair tied behind his head at random, but he had a bit of the appearance of the young knight in the martial arts drama he watched in his early years, revealing a bit of mystery and ease.

"Strange person," Bu Tong threw down the car curtain, and Chun Tao glanced out uneasily,

"Fortunately, we came out earlier, I'm afraid the road behind is going to be difficult."

Butong nodded,

"As long as you can get to Yanmen Pass early, you can do anything."

Muller outside continued,

"Go to Yanmen Pass early, take your noble brother and hide back home."

Chun Tao raised her arms angrily, "Why is this person talking so ......?"

was stopped by Bu Tong, looking at the looming figure of Muller outside,

"He's right."

……

In the second half of the night, this was barely a gentle place, a few people arranged a flat place near the stream to start a fire, Bu Tong asked Chun Tao to fetch a large piece of lamb chops and roasted it on the fire, Mu Le looked at Bu Tong's familiar technique "tsk" out loud,

"This young lady is familiar with the way of eating in the north."

Did the dish of grilled lamb chops originate in Xinjiang or Inner Mongolia?

Bu Tong was puzzled for a moment and realized that he really didn't know, raised his head and smiled,

"It's a coincidence, now we don't have a pot with us, and we will have more to bake and eat in the future."

Muller made an "oh" gesture and squatted aside to wait for eating.

After July behind him suddenly got up and drew his knife towards the carriage, Chun Tao looked at July's appearance and shouted,

"Who's there?"

January didn't show up, it didn't seem to be a threat, Bu Tong immediately looked in the direction of the voice,

"Come out yourself so that you don't suffer, and we can not be held accountable."

As soon as the words fell, two thin figures came out from behind the carriage, two children who looked like eight or nine years old, thin skin and bones, looking at several people in front of them timidly with big eyes, and stepping barefoot on the ground to make a grass nest that was not deep.

Bu Tong took two steps forward, "Refugees? ”

The children nodded.

"Which town escaped?"

The children looked at each other for a moment before saying, "Alpine City." ”

Gaoshan City, the city closest to Liangguo, will definitely be the first to be captured, Bu Tong frowned and looked at the children's bare feet, and couldn't help but speak,

"Chun Tao, go get two pairs of my shoes and bring some dry food."

Bu Tong looked down at the feet of the two people again, "Fortunately, my feet are not big, this time I went out and brought dark shoes, don't dislike it, it doesn't matter if the weather is not cold, it doesn't matter if you wear it, bare feet are easy to hurt." ”

Chun Tao took the shoes and handed them to the two, Bu Tong handed them to put on, and each of them divided two cakes, and the children immediately squatted by the stream to eat, choked and drank a few sips of stream water, and did not look at the barbecue on the shelf from beginning to end.

Everyone sat down again, looking at the crackling sound of the little bonfire, and Mu Le's eyes flickered like a bonfire, "You are quite kind." ”

Bu Tong looked up at him, and his facial features under the bonfire were so deep that they outlined shadows on his face,

"How can they bear not to help people who live on the same land?"

Muller smiled, bowed his head and added wood to the campfire,

"If everyone thinks like you, I'm afraid that Your Majesty's throne will have to be shared by everyone."

Bu Tong "snorted" and ignored him, watched the two children finish eating the cake, and beckoned them,

"Come and sit down and try my sister's roasted lamb."

The two children carefully knelt opposite Butong and recovered, "Thank you, Miss, for saving your life." ”

There is something interesting in the words and deeds, and there is some background in it, Bu Tong took out the dagger and walked between the ribs of the sheep.

"What kind of children are you, do you have anyone else in the family?"

The older child looked up, although he was dirty, his eyes were indeed the same, "Miss, I am Gao Shan Mansion Yin, Gao Zhen's eldest son, this is my second brother, the city is ruined, my father died on the city gate, my mother also died of illness on the way to escape with our two brothers, the patriarch disliked our brother for being too young to find money and food, so he threw us on the way." ”

Poor people must have something to hate, this sentence is really accurate, Bu Tong only felt that the victims were pitiful, but they smashed and robbed other people's food and money all the way, and threw down the young children who had no strength, what kind of evil behavior is this.

Bu Tong looked at the two skinny children, thinking that he had suffered a lot of sins these days,

"I'm going to Yanmen Pass, naturally I can't take you two, if I can meet a village farmhouse in front of me, I will leave you behind, I will place money and things for others, and when we go home, I will come to look for you again, and then we will discuss your future affairs."

The boy naturally didn't expect Bu Tong to think so long-term, he thought that he could only eat a full meal and be thrown away, but now he has to take care of his future days, and hurriedly took the boy next to him to kneel on the ground, "Thank you, Miss." ”

Mu Le was stunned, pointing to the two children who didn't know why, Bu Tong handed him a roasted rib,

"Although the war is ruthless, it is the most cruel to the people of Pingming, let alone two children."

Muller took a large bite of meat and chewed it contentedly,

"If you soften your heart like this, I'm afraid you'll suffer."

Butong divided the lamb chops, first gave one to July, and then divided it to the two children and Chun Tao, leaving one for himself, and after handing the rest to Chun Tao a look, Chun Tao held it and went to the side.

Muller only glanced at it and was surprised, "I knew that a young lady like you would not go out with only two people with her." ”

Butong took a bite of mutton, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it was really good,

"I knew that you were not just a sheep seller, but such a bold and insightful teenager would have another identity."

Muller laughed heartily when he heard this,

"Sister Yun's words have lifted me up, but I'm just a businessman walking around."

Bu Tong raised his eyes to look at his bright eyes,

"Then I don't know what kind of goods Brother Mu is selling?"

Muller lowered his head to bite the last piece of flesh off the bone,

"Selling sheep, and intelligence."

Bu Tong knew that the more such people were at the border, the more they would be, and they would collect first-hand information and sell it to people in closed places, and make a profit from it.

Thinking of this, Bu Tong raised his eyes to look at him,

"Then I want to ask, what is the real situation of Yanmen Pass now?"

Mu Le looked at Bu Tong, "Are you really looking for your brother?" ”

Bu Tong nodded, "Naturally, if this is not the case, why would I, a woman who has no power to restrain chickens, go to that war-torn place." ”

Muller scratched his head,

"The Yanmen Pass garrison has been lax in training all year round, just to loot the people's fat and people's ointment, and the beauties in the house are like clouds, warblers, and Yanyan, which is called a cluster of flowers, and now the army is pressing, I'm afraid I'm busy packing up and running away."

Bu Tong hatefully bit a tooth mark on his bones, "Local garrison, checkpoint heavy defense, how crucial, someone has neglected his duties for many years, Your Majesty doesn't know it!" ”

Mu Le leaned forward, glanced at the child who was eating mutton intently next to him, and lowered his voice, "I have more exciting inside information, a golden leaf, do you want to listen?" ”

Bu Tong squinted at him, as if he was doubting the words of this profiteer, and Mu Le was afraid that she would not believe him, so he reminded seductively,

"There is a question about why Your Majesty knows that he is incompetent and does not punish him, and even has something to do with the third prince."

Bu Tong's heart was shocked, and then he took out a gold leaf,

"Speak quickly!"

Muller smiled triumphantly and put away the gold leaves,

"Because Your Majesty will not punish this scum, and punish the garrison commander, the third prince will naturally take over Yanmen Pass, and Your Majesty would rather let a rotten person harm the people in that position for ten years, rather than hand over the border pass to his son."

Bu Tong is puzzled,

"Isn't his own son as good as a courtier?"

Mu Le looked at Butong with a look of "you don't understand",

"A courtier is a courtier after all, that son can be a majesty one day, the three princes and your majesty are not of the same mind, and now it seems that they have rebelled and been degraded, which is really miserable."

Bu Tong looked at his casual appearance and was all secret, and couldn't help asking,

"You're all hearsay, right? The three princes had already plotted rebellion and committed great rebellion, and they wanted to prepare for many years, what was the misery? The rebel generals and sergeants who were beheaded by him were miserable. ”

Muller threw down the clean bones and picked up the hem of his clothes at will, wiping the oil on his hands,

"Seeing that you gave me a gold leaf, I will tell you more, the third prince is actually because the mother clan was eradicated by His Majesty today, if he had the intention to rebel from the beginning, why should he invite himself to Yanmen Pass where birds don't?"

Bu Tong nodded, "It seems that what you said also has some truth." ”

Muller was even more proud,

"The third prince knew all kinds of bad deeds of the guard, that is, he repaired the book one after another, but His Majesty only replied that he sent someone to investigate, but the guard learned about it, and he treated His Royal Highness the prince very harshly and coldly, until one day, His Royal Highness the prince actually saw the letter sheet he played in the garrison, Sister Yun, guess, who gave it?"

Butong was impressive, but on the day the court interrogated Mu Hewen, Emperor Mu's heartbroken appearance was too real, too real.

"It's always his own son, even if the Liu family rebelled back then, but His Majesty also left the Liu family and the prince, it is clear that the Liu family is ungrateful and assassinated many times before he died, and the prince came to the border ......"

Mueller shook his head again and again,

"It was a big lie from someone in Kyoto who didn't know the truth. If you can be Your Majesty, you will control the power and hearts of the people the most, even if it is your own son, you will not leave half of your affection. ”

Bu Tong was stunned, Mu Le showed a half stunned, and looked up at the hazy moonlight,

"Although the Liu family is down, there are many protégés, all over the court, if Your Majesty cuts the grass and eradicates the roots, I am afraid that it will hurt itself? Leaving the Liu family and the three princes is just enough to stabilize everyone, and after a few years, everything is stable, but just a woman, just find a reason to kill at will. ”

Is this the Emperor's Mental Technique?

Use a woman who wants to ascend to the back seat, eradicate the biggest force in the court, and then affectionately raise the woman who still has a longing in her heart, and completely kill her when she is defenseless.

Bu Tong only felt that he didn't understand that His Majesty, reliving a lifetime, was he so shocked? Or was it like this in the previous life, but I never realized it?

The chaotic thoughts were interrupted, and the joyful voice of Chun Tao came from behind him,

"Miss, look, my uncle is here!"
