The emperor was originally very jealous of An Shuangchi, and said that such a thing as suppressing bandits was not big, but not small.

If An Shuang doesn't come back for a long time, he can get a good reputation, and he will also remove the thorn in the emperor's heart.

If An Shuangchi successfully suppresses the bandits, it will make An Shuangchi's reputation among the people better and better.

Obviously, the second thing was not to the emperor's heart.

The reason why he did this was because he already had a way to make An Shuang go for a long time.

"I may be going for a while, and the road is long and difficult, so you stay in Beijing and wait for me, so as not to be tired."

An Shuangchi said at this time, there are many mountainous roads in the southwest region, and he really doesn't want to suffer this crime gently.

Mo Qingrou refused without thinking about it.

"How can this be done, if I don't go with you, what should I do if you are deceived by someone?"

Although Mo Qingrou said this, An Shuangchi's expression did not ease, and he didn't seem to plan to agree to Mo Qingrou.

"You think, I've gone with you to all those terrifying places in Xinjiang over there, and now it's just a hundred miles away in the southwest, what's the big deal. Besides, what if I am here alone and killed? ”

An Shuangchi was unwilling, but after hearing this, he felt that there was some truth in it, and he began to think about this problem seriously.

Mo Qingrou didn't expect this man to be so easy to deceive, and he was very happy for a while.

"Okay, I can take you with me, but it's a dangerous road, and you need to stay by my side at all times, so I can take care of you."

An Shuangchi's tone was cold, but Mo Qingrou saw the firmness in his eyes.

made her want to trust this man.

So, she nodded as a ghost, and when the two of them reacted, she felt embarrassed to hate.

"Okay, let's settle this matter, you go pack your things and go on the road early tomorrow morning."

Mo hummed softly and quickly fled from this place.

Thinking back to what happened just now, I only felt that my face was flushed.

In the early morning of the second day, An Shuangchi chose to leave the capital when most of the people in the city had not yet gotten up, only thinking that this would make the departure faster and would not cause unnecessary panic.

Mo Qingrou was only followed by Xiaoyue, and the sky was not yet bright and thorough, Mo Qingrou sat on the rickety carriage and only felt that he was still a little drowsy.

An Shuangchi sat here solemnly, looking at the mountains and maps in the southwest region.

"Xiaoyue, go get a dress for the girl to drape."

"Yes."

Xiao Yue was in a daze, but she didn't expect An Shuang Chi to tell herself at this time, and Mo Qingrou also woke up in Xiao Yue's hairy hands and feet.

"What's going on? Where have we been? ”

Her voice was still sleepy, but Satsuki was embarrassed.

"Right now, we have just left the capital, the girl is awake, and the slave maid goes outside to breathe."

Xiao Yue didn't say much, and left here directly to the side of the coachman outside.

Mo was gentle but didn't feel embarrassed, just continued to sleep lightly on An Shuangchi's shoulder.

An Shuangchi didn't dare to move, for fear that she would accidentally wake up Mo Qingrou.

He simply threw the map in his hand aside.

General's Palace

The princess dressed in red also learned the news from the mouth of her subordinates that An Shuangchi and Mo Qingrou had left the capital.

He returned to his yard very happily.

I saw that she had taken off her red dress and changed into a black dress, wearing a gauze hat, and she could no longer see the meaning of a princess.

"Gentlemen, if anyone comes, you only say that I am sick and do not want to see anyone, and you must not tell anyone my whereabouts, otherwise, I will come back carefully and cut off your tongues."

A few maids were genuinely afraid.

"Yes."

The princess jumped on the roof, and her light skills were so good that she soon disappeared without a trace.

After about three days, he had already reached the southwest boundary.

Because it was just a bandit, An Shuangchi only brought a few thousand people, and even Zhang Liangyu did not follow him.

They were greeted by the local magistrate who was full of brains, and Mo Qingrou felt very uncomfortable in his heart as soon as he saw this person.

The magistrate was honestly afraid, as if he was very afraid of An Shuangchi.

At this time, it was not early, and An Shuangchi decided to rest for a night first, and wait until tomorrow to start investigating this matter.

Mo Qingrou recalled the devastation in this urban area just now, and only felt that he was even more frightened.

If this is the case in the city, what should those towns and villages look like?

She didn't quite understand why these outlaws were so rampant.

On the other hand, the magistrate was born with a fat brain, and he lived a pampered life at first glance, and when he thought of this, it made Mo Qingrou's heart very unhappy.

In the evening, he even set up a large banquet in his official residence.

Shark fin bear's paw, delicacies from the mountains and seas, there is no way to see the attitude of a poor little magistrate who has been baptized by bandits.

"Your Excellency, you're so good."

An Shuangchi coldly threw out this sentence, just this meal, An Shuangchi could almost conclude that the person sitting in front of him was not a good thing.

Mo Qingrou just sat beside An Shuangchi and didn't say a word.

After all, she didn't know what kind of identity she should use to speak.

That Master Li only felt a little embarrassed, but he was still used to doing this kind of thing, and there was nothing else, just smiled slightly embarrassed.

"My lord's words are wrong, we are in the poor countryside, where can we eat these good things in ordinary times? It's only because you two are nobles from the capital that you will let people prepare these appetizers to wash the dust for the general and the girl. ”

Lord Li's eyes also noticed the veiled Mo Qingrou's body, this general came out to suppress bandits and brought a woman, presumably not a difficult character, so he gradually relaxed his heart.

Although An Shuangchi's heart was unhappy, he didn't show much on the surface, and he was very unhappy when he ate a meal.

Mo Qingrou also sensed this strange atmosphere, and said mockingly:

"My lord, I forgot to tell you before, not to mention the capital, Rao is in the palace, and no one eats these Laoshzi every day."

Mo's soft tone was extremely sarcastic.

Then Master Li didn't know what her identity was, but he just blindly said yes.

At this time, she only felt that her heart had become more bored.

Early the next morning, An Shuangchi and Mo Qingrou planned to go to the market in person to ask about the residents here.

But who knew that he saw the Master Li from yesterday on the road?

I saw that he was very active at this time taking these villagers to repair his house, and it looked like he was working diligently for the people.

"I think there must be something strange about this Lord Li."

Mo squinted at him gently, and there was a little danger in his eyes.

She couldn't tell why she had such eyes, probably because she learned from An Shuangchi.

"The people in this market must have been greeted by him, and now we should take some soldiers out of the city to have a look, presumably there will be some different harvests."

Mo nodded softly, and returned to the military camp outside the city with An Shuangchi.

After arranging everything, An Shuangchi took Mo Qingrou to the surrounding towns.

Sure enough, most of the people in these small towns are gone, leaving behind only the old and children and a small number of young people.

Mo Qingrou looked at An Shuangchi with a cold face at this time, and only felt that it was a wrong choice for him to bring him for questioning.

How do you look like a cold-faced Luo God.

"I'll ask those old people and children, you wait here, I'll go back when I go."

An Shuangchi probably felt that his image was not suitable, but he didn't refuse, just nodded.

Mo gently walked in front of an old woman not far away.

"Old man, we are merchants passing through here, what is going on here? How did it get to be the way it is? ”

The old man slowly opened his eyes when he heard the voice, and saw that in front of him was a young woman with a decent appearance, and he only felt that he remembered something bad in his heart.

"Girl, get out of here quickly, now we have been robbed by bandits, a young girl like you has been robbed by those bad people, you leave quickly, don't be seen by those people."

The old woman began to wipe her tears as she spoke.

Mo Qingrou's heart was even more unbearable, and he took out a little silver from his purse and handed it to the old man and continued to ask:

"Just now we came out of the city, your Lord Li seems to be conscientious, now that you have encountered such a thing, why don't you go and take refuge in him?"

It's okay not to mention this adult, but the old woman is also anxious, and the foul language cursing that Lord Li keeps coming.

Mo Qingrou felt that she probably knew what was going on, so she didn't continue to ask anything, but just went back and told An Shuangchi everything she knew.

An Shuangchi was already very anxious about this matter, but now that he heard this, he naturally couldn't tolerate him, so he turned around and took someone to get someone.

"Stop! At the moment, I don't know if that damn thing has anything to do with the bandits, and you don't know what the emperor is thinking, how can he mess around like this. ”

Hearing Mo Qing's words, An Shuangchi also calmed down.

"What can you do?"

Mo shook her head softly.

"There is no good way, there is a bad way."

Mo said softly, and fell into An Shuangchi's ear and didn't know what to say, and An Shuangchi's face was no longer as embarrassed as just now.

After that, a dozen soldiers were arranged to help the people here to do something, and they returned to the city.
