Chapter 34: Going to War?
After Li Mumu and Liu Yueluo separated, they no longer hung out! She asked Xiao Yan to go separately with her to inquire about Liu Yueluo's current situation!
However, because of the jealousy of the youngest daughter, she made such a big stumbling block for herself and ruined her efforts for so long, she Li Mumu is not a good person, and after suffering such a big loss, she must find the field.
At sunset, Li Mumu and Xiao Yan met at the city gate.
"How? What's the catch? Li Mumu didn't ask for any useful information all afternoon, and she didn't have hope for Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan's character, I guess I can't ask anything useful.
"County Magistrate Liu plans to give Liu Yueluo to the eldest son of the Shiping County Magistrate's family." Xiao Yan only said this to Li Mumu.
"Zhao Gongzi?" Li Mumu thought about it, and he was a person he had never heard of at all.
"It's too late today, let's go to the next county tomorrow to investigate!" There is no gain, she can only start with Liu Yueluo's marriage, and she doesn't mind giving her a big gift.
Li Mumu and Xiao Yan chatted and walked home, more often than not, Li Mumu said again, Xiao Yan was listening.
The two of them were walking on the mountain road, and suddenly they saw something rolling down the hillside, and it was only when they were about to roll to their feet that they saw that it was a child of four or five years old.
Xiao Yan jumped and scooped the child into his arms, stopping him from continuing to roll.
At this time, a pair of men and women ran down from the hillside, ran to Li Mumu and Xiao Yan and stopped, and the woman saw the child in Xiao Yan's arms and snatched it away.
"Child, my child!" The woman hurriedly checked the child's whole body, and the child was not in any major problems except for some skin injuries.
The child's injuries were not serious, but he was not lightly frightened, and at this time he was held in his arms by his mother, and he cried out! That's what comes to mind.
When the man saw that his child was fine, he remembered to thank Xiao Yan and the two of them.
Li Mumu looked at the family of three in front of him in rags, and the shoes on his feet were even more tattered, as if he had come here after a long journey.
"Where are you from?" Li Mumu asked.
"We're from Sand City." The man replied truthfully, and Xiao Yan frowned when he heard the words 'Sand City'.
Shacheng belongs to the northernmost part of the Beiqin Dynasty, and to the north is the territory of the barbarian Beirong people, and Shiqing County, where Li Mumu and they are located, belongs to the boundaries of Mocheng, and is directly separated from Shacheng by a wind city.
"What happened to Sand City?" This time, without waiting for Li Mumu to speak, Xiao Yan continued to ask.
"The barbarians have repeatedly provoked at the border passes, and the generals stationed there are cowardly and unwilling to send troops! Under the northernmost county seat of Shacheng, several villages have already been slaughtered! The man sighed.
Li Mumu thought to herself, is this going to war?
"Didn't anyone report to the court?" Xiao Yan suddenly became angry, this was the first time Li Mumu had seen another emotion from Xiao Yan.
"What if you report it? This is so far away from the imperial city, by the time the emperor orders us, we will be dead long ago! ”
"From which county did you escape? Where is the army of Beijon now? Xiao Yan continued to ask
"We are from Shanan Village, and when we left, the Beirong people had already arrived in Shabei Village! None of the villages they had passed through had left a single living mouth! The man shuddered as he spoke, and the eyes of the woman and the child were filled with fear.
"My people in Beiqin were slaughtered, and the generals on the border didn't react at all?" Xiao Yan was furious, and suddenly exuded a murderous aura from all over his body, and such momentum was impossible to ignore.
Li Mumu was also taken aback by the sudden murderous aura, it was better if she hadn't been on the front line all year round, but she was afraid that she would be scared and her legs would be weak.
The man opposite Xiao Yan didn't have such good guts, he was frightened by Xiao Yan's sudden momentum, his legs weakened, and he sat on the ground with a puff.
Li Mumu thought to herself, who is Xiao Yan? How can there be such a strong momentum.
"I... Our village, on the border of Beiqin and Beirong, Beirong has been harassed repeatedly, but it has not really entered the boundary of Beiqin, so... So the people above pretended to look... Can not see. In order to save our lives, we had to flee all the way south. ”
"Bastard!" Xiao Yan saw the man's reaction and restrained the momentum on his body, but he still couldn't help but scold.
The man saw that Xiao Yan was no longer holding on to himself, and quickly led his wife and children to escape.
Li Mumu stood next to her and didn't say a word, she was waiting for Xiao Yan to calm down.
Xiao Yan, who had returned to his usual state, did not explain to Li Mumu, but only said, 'Let's go', and walked home quickly.
As soon as Xiao Yan entered the door, Wang Chuntao greeted him and told him that the newly built house had been drying for half a month, and it was almost dry. She is now sewing a new futon for Xiao Yan, and it will be completed in two days, when Xiao Yan can move to the new house.
Xiao Yan said 'um' and went back to the house, seeing that Xiao Yan was in a bad mood, Wang Chuntao thought that Li Mumu had bullied him again. So he took Li Mumu back to the room and gave him a lecture, which made Li Mumu cry and laugh, who is biological?
Early the next morning, Li Mumu packed up and prepared to go to the neighboring village to inquire about Zhao Gongzi's news, even if there was a war, it had nothing to do with her being a weak woman.
Although he didn't know the reason, Li Mumu could see that Xiao Yan was in a bad mood, so he didn't plan to ask him to go with him today.
Just when Li Mumu was about to go out alone, she found that Xiao Yan was already waiting for her at the gate of the courtyard, Xiao Yan didn't say, Li Mumu didn't ask, the two of them walked to Shiping County together as if what had happened to them.
Things were surprisingly simple, and when they arrived in Shiping County, Li Mumu and their efforts to eat bowls of wontons made Zhao Gongzi inquire clearly.
The magistrate of Shiping County has two sons, but the two of them are very different.
The eldest son of the Zhao family is brilliant and modest! But the second son of the Zhao family has a perverse personality, does not learn and has no skills, and indulges in the willow alleys of flower streets all day long.
"Compared with the eldest son of the Zhao family, these two sons seem to be more compatible with Liu Yueluo." Li Mumu listened to the words of the surrounding vendors, and couldn't help pouting, according to them, if Liu Yueluo really married Zhao Dagongzi, I am afraid that it will delay others.
A wife like that, marrying back will only cause the family to be restless.
"I heard that the county lord plans to let the eldest prince marry the daughter of the county magistrate's family next door." Li Mumu raised his head, and the vendors also discussed.
"Our city is relatively remote, there are few big families, and those officials and masters pay attention to the right people, except for the daughter of County Magistrate Liu, there is really no one who can be worthy of our eldest son."
"I've heard that Miss Liu is a pungent character, this eldest son is polite, he won't marry a tigress and come back."
"It's better to worry about things that are so far away, it's better to worry about what is in front of you first! I heard that the county master asked the second son to go to Shiqing County to exchange Geng posts with the Liu family. The second son's unobtrusive temperament, don't mess things up, then you'll lose the adult. ”
"Look at what you said, no matter how unreliable the second son is, he will always use some heart in his eldest brother's affairs!"
"Swap Geng posts?" Li Mumu heard the topic she was interested in, she suddenly smiled evilly, and thought of a clever plan......
