Chapter 34: Find the Forester
That night, Feng Xiaoyue and he tacitly did not mention the matter of Murong Lin's traditional Chinese medicine, but the distance that was finally shortened became like a separation, especially for Murong Lin, who finally faced his heart, and Feng Xiaoyue was silent, and every day passing by was a little difficult.
There was no time for Murong Lin to continue to be sad about his feelings, so Murong Yu instructed the little servant and called him to the study to talk about things.
"Father, what is the matter with you?" Murong Lin was a little listless.
Murong Yu glanced at him and handed him the message sent by the dark line on the desk.
"Reports from the dark line that people are asking around about the location of the horse trade, and that there are signs of a break-in in the camp."
The vassal kings in charge of their domains will train small armies in their fiefs to protect the security of their fiefs. This was originally a tacit approval of the emperors of previous dynasties, but for some reason, as early as a few months ago, the guilt of the domain sneaked into outsiders to beat.
If the reality of the domain is clearly explored, then the people on this side will inevitably suffer from the flames of war. For this reason, Murong Yu has been worried for many days.
"They are trying to stir up trouble, and they must not let these people succeed." Murong Lin clutched the pieces of paper angrily.
Murong Lin patted him on the shoulder and took back a few pieces of paper, "Therefore, when my father called you, I have something to do with you." ”
"Father, please speak." Murong Lin clenched his fists, feeling that an invisible burden was gradually picking up on him.
"For the sake of the Father, make a search for you, and keep an eye out for those outsiders, and if there are any strangers who behave, send someone to follow them." Murong Yu sat back at his desk and put the pieces of paper in a secret small box, "Also, pay attention to hiding your tracks, don't ask people to follow you to find the location of the camp." ”
"And most importantly, don't cause panic among the people of the city, who can't afford the slightest disturbance."
"Yes, child." Murong Lin was ordered to retreat. Murong Yu had high expectations for his son, so he was also relieved to let him get in touch with more domain affairs.
Murong Lin hurriedly returned to the Gentleman's Courtyard, packed up some things and went out. Feng Xiaoyue opened the door one step too late, just missing it with him.
"Xiaoyun, come with me to the mountains on the outskirts of the city."
Feng Xiaoyue changed into light clothes, stood behind the door and straightened her sleeves, Xiaoyun put a large bag of broken silver in her sleeves, bulging, and clucked, Xiaoyun could only protect it with her right hand all the way.
The people in the gentleman's courtyard looked at Feng Xiaoyue with a strange gaze and a little pity, Feng Xiaoyue didn't care much, and asked Xiaoyun to follow and also went out of the palace.
There was such a big bulge in his hand, and many people on the road looked at it curiously. Xiaoyun covered the silver to the ground and looked up at Feng Xiaoyue.
"Miss, has the prince already asked people to open the road on the mountain?"
"Well, when I came back from the mountain with him that day, he told people to open only a small road, so as not to disturb the life of the forest keepers when there were too many people going up the mountain." Thinking of Murong Lin, Feng Xiaoyue was a little uncomfortable. But he did so many things for himself, which made Feng Xiaoyue love and hate, and he didn't know how to face him.
Suddenly, when she looked down at Xiaoyun and saw her covering her sleeves as if she was hiding a treasure, Feng Xiaoyue couldn't help but feel funny.
"The rangers have a lot of strange seeds, and I plan to buy more this time, otherwise it will be even more difficult to climb the mountain when the weeds block the road."
As she spoke, Feng Xiaoyue glanced at Xiaoyun again, "Actually, you don't have to bring so much cash. ”
"Miss doesn't know, the people who live on the mountain don't want to put the silver ticket, they all like to see the real silver of sincerity, so they are willing to give you things." Xiao Yun raised his face with a serious expression.
"yes, I don't know." This is more like Xiaoyun came up with it herself, but Feng Xiaoyue didn't want to expose her, after all, this is also a kindness from others.
Sure enough, a trail had opened up on the mountain, and it had been driving for a long time, and there were already humulus grass slowly climbing up.
Feng Xiaoyue climbed halfway up the mountain, and finally found a wooden house on the small slope that opened in the distance. Standing at the bottom of the slope, I saw that from the side of the wooden house, there were many strange plants, one by one, almost spreading to the bottom of the slope.
Feng Xiaoyue climbed up with joy, and before she could step forward, someone was holding a sharpened wooden stick and pointing at her.
"Uncle Shoulin, I just came to you to buy seeds." Feng Xiaoyue cautiously did not approach.
"Buy seeds? Isn't it enough for you to use the old king's place? The forester put away the sticks and turned back to the courtyard in front of the hut.
Xiaoyunhou was terrified, and stubbornly protected Feng Xiaoyue and didn't want her to get close, Feng Xiaoyue pulled her hand away and walked to the courtyard. There are more plants planted in the yard and they grow better, some Feng Xiaoyue knows, and some don't know, but most of them are rare or even unseen outside the mountains.
Feng Xiaoyue looked around, and was extremely happy in her heart. The forest keeper came out with a few pieces of oiled paper and poured cold water on her unceremoniously: "I won't sell it to you, some of these flowers can live on this mountain, and they will die under the mountain." Don't spoil my seeds. ”
After calming down a little, Feng Xiaoyue tried her best to speak in a gentle tone, "Uncle, but these plants are here in the dark, isn't it a waste." ”
The forest keeper snorted coldly and ignored it. Feng Xiaoyue approached and gently stroked a delicate flower, "Uncle, I am also a lover of flowers, so naturally I will not be wronged by these flowers, and I hope you can think about it again." ”
"Hmph." The forest keeper sneered, "I said a while ago, why did someone come up here to open the way, and they didn't come to me to trouble, it turned out that it was all for you to come up." ”
Xiaoyun listened uncomfortable, and went over to pull Feng Xiaoyue's sleeve, Feng Xiaoyue lowered her eyes, and said in a low voice: "Yes." ”
The forest keeper picked up a water ladle made of bamboo knots and watered the wildflowers around him, "I don't even let go of this small grass in the mountains, can I expect you to be kind to these flowers?" ”
Feng Xiaoyue was a little angry and argued with him: "Weeds have strong vitality, and it won't take long for them to grow back." I would like to ask the old man, when you go up the mountain to check every day, don't you fly over and never hurt a single grass? ”
"You're raising the bar." Shoulin angrily threw away the water scoop and picked up the grass made of branches again, "Hurry up, I don't welcome you here." ”
Feng Xiaoyue was protected by Xiaoyun and retreated defensively.
"Don't retreat." The forest keeper suddenly frowned and put down the grass.
And Xiaoyun didn't pay attention to stop, Feng Xiaoyue was blocked behind her and stepped back, as if she had stepped on something, her feet slipped, and a sharp grass flew over from the position of their heads when they were standing just now.
The master and servant sat on the dry land, and for a while they were afraid, but the forest keeper hesitated, picked up the thatch that flew out, and did not continue to force them to go.
