So after thinking about it again and again, Qian Qianqian taught Qian Fen how to make pickles, wrote down the dosage of those condiments and the recipe on the paper, and some things to pay attention to were also written very clearly, Qian Fen is a smart child, and it is clear at a glance.

"Xiaofen, after I leave, the family's pickle business will depend on you."

Qian Qianqian raised her hand and touched Qian Fen's head, her expression was a little solemn, her eyebrows were frowned, and Qian Fen couldn't help crying.

"Eldest sister, how long will you go back to the capital this time? How can we survive without you in this house? ”

Qian Fen tugged on Qian Qianqian's sleeve, her face was full of reluctance, she sobbed quietly, her eyes were red and swollen, and her nose was red.

"Xiaofen has grown up, it's time to take charge of herself, this time I went to the capital, just to give you a chance to practice, I believe you will be able to take care of the pickle shop."

Qian Qianqian pursed her lips and smiled, pretending to be relaxed, although she didn't feel very comfortable, but if she didn't let go, Qian Fen and the others would never really grow up.

Qian Xuan and Qian Hui also ran in from outside, hugging Qian Qianqian and refusing to let go, Qian's mother was all about Qian Yao, so in the hearts of these children, Qian Qianqian was their most important person.

"Eldest sister, don't go, we don't want you to go."

Qian Xuan and Qian Hui cried, their small bodies shrunk into a ball, and their faces were childish, which made people feel distressed.

"Don't be like this, it's not like I won't come back when I'm gone, you listen to your mother at home, and Xiaofen's words, don't be naughty, Xiaohui, you have to study well, Xiaoxuan, you also have to help Xiaofen take care of the pickle shop, and you can be a director in the future."

Qian Qianqian touched Qian Xuan and Qian Hui's heads, there was a slight soft light in her eyes, and her tone was very gentle.

After dealing with the affairs of the family, Qian Qianqian set off with Xiao Mohan, Zhou Lin and Mu Tianyue both stayed in Lianzhou, one was in charge of government affairs, and the other was in charge of the business of Lianzhou City.

Yu Feng has not appeared until now, and he doesn't know where he is hidden, which is completely incomprehensible, and Xiao Mohan has never summoned him again.

Sitting in the carriage, Qian Qianqian lifted the curtain of the car and poked her head out, just out of Lianzhou now, Xiao Mohan returned to Beijing, taking the official road, so the road was wide and flat, and the carriage was not bumpy at all.

Xiao Mohan sat on one side, calm and relaxed, there was no superfluous expression on his face, his eyebrows were heroic, revealing an indescribable nobility, Qian Qianqian compared with him, it really seemed that he had never seen the world.

Suddenly, the coachman in front of him reined in the horse, and the carriage stopped suddenly, Qian Qianqian was caught off guard, her body was crooked, and she crashed into Xiao Mohan's arms.

Qian Qianqian touched her forehead, her face was full of embarrassment, her brows were furrowed, her mouth sighed, she raised her eyes carefully, and just fell into Xiao Mohan's deep eyes.

Her face was flushed, and she immediately lowered her eyes, sat away from Xiao Mohan, and bit her lower lip tightly, revealing indescribable shyness.

Xiao Mohan didn't mind, but went straight to the curtain and looked out.

"General, the road ahead is closed, saying that there were several heavy rains a few days ago, and the mud on the hillsides on both sides was washed down by the rain, blocking the road, and now the official is cleaning up."

Qin Li came back to report, Xiao Mohan raised his head and glanced ahead, his sword eyebrows raised slightly, and his deep eyes were sensitive.

"Give the order to go down and rest in place."

After a while, Xiao Mohan lifted his thin lips lightly and gave an order.

"Yes." Qin Li immediately complied, and the casual officials also sat on both sides of the road, Qian Qianqian and Xiao Mohan got out of the carriage, and Xue Yi deliberately found a stone slab, wiped it and let Qian Qianqian sit.

"Miss Qian, let's drink saliva." Xue Yi opened the water bladder and handed it to Qian Qianqian, who took it and drank a few sips and wiped the remaining water stains on the side of her mouth.

"How long will it take to clean up those officials? No, we're going to be stuck here today, we can't go. ”

Qian Qianqian looked at the fence in front of her, as if she had no intention of letting go, and she was also a little worried.

"No, the days of returning to Beijing this time are all good, even if this road is not passable, we will find another way, and we will not delay the time here."

Xue Yi said it categorically, when Xiao Mohan decided to leave for Beijing, he had already handed the court a fold, explaining the day he returned to Beijing, if he couldn't go back on time, the emperor would be suspicious, so he couldn't delay it for a day.

"You go and report that General Ben is passing by here, and let them come and pay a visit."

Xiao Mohan stood in front of him, his eyes burning, looking at the officials who were cleaning up the dirt, his brows were furrowed, his facial features were tough, and his face was full of a bit of battle-hardened aura, which made people easily afraid to approach.

"Yes." The entourage around him immediately complied, and walked over to reveal Xiao Mohan's identity, and those officials put down their men one after another, and hurriedly ran to Xiao Mohan.

"See the general." The officials and messengers knelt on the ground and saluted, their bodies were stained with a lot of mud, and they all made their faces disgraced, and at first glance, they really looked like good officials who did their best for the people.

"How long will it take you to clear this barricade?"

Xiao Mohan didn't let them get up, but just asked coldly, his voice was low, revealing indescribable oppression.

"Back to the general, there is too much mud on this road, it may not be clean in two or three days, and the silt is piled up too deeply, if people pass over, it is fine, horses and carriages will definitely not pass, please forgive the general."

After a long time, some of the kneeling officials came out and spoke cautiously, and these people buried their heads so low that they couldn't even look at their faces.

At the moment, this is in the suburbs, there is no village in front of them, and there is no store in the back, if Xiao Mohan and they throw down the horses and carriages, just walking on foot, they will definitely delay a lot of time, so this is not cost-effective.

"Can't you just find more people? General Xiao wants to return to Beijing to report on his work, and if he is delayed, he will ask you. ”

Qin Lihou was on the side, and when he saw Xiao Mohan's eyes, he immediately stepped forward and reprimanded, and those officials were suddenly silent, and they didn't even dare to come out.

"This place is already remote, and there is no one living nearby, and the county government does not have enough manpower, and we are all reluctant to transfer it, so we really can't do anything about this matter, please forgive the general."

The officials begged for mercy one after another, and they said it very sincerely, in this way, if Xiao Mohan really held them accountable, it would be too unreasonable, and if it was spread out, it would not be of any benefit to Xiao Mohan.

"Do you know if there is any other way around here?" Qin Li chased after him, his expression still solemn.

"In the back mountain over there, there is a mountain road, which is quite flat, but it is narrower, and the forest is deep and dense, and it is inconvenient to walk, but the official road leading directly to the front, as long as you walk through that section of the mountain road, you can return to the official road."

One official cautiously reported it, and the others followed suit.

"Go ahead and get back to work."

Xiao Mohan spoke lightly, speaking lightly, in a gentle tone, and there seemed to be no anger at all, and those officials were immediately relieved when they heard it.

"Thank you, General." The officials bowed, then stood up and continued to clean up the dirt on the official road.

"General, my subordinates will take someone to explore the mountain road." Qin Li understood what Xiao Mohan meant, and before Xiao Mohan could speak, he took the initiative to ask for help.

Xiao Mohan just nodded and responded lightly, and Qin Li immediately took someone away.

After a while, Qin Li came back, bowed his head and saluted Xiao Mohan: "General, the subordinates have already investigated along the road, and the mountain road is indeed as those officials said, there is nothing abnormal, and the width of the mountain road can also accommodate carriages to pass." ”

"Give the order to go down, continue on the road, and take the mountain road." Xiao Mohan was not ambiguous, spit out a sentence lightly, and then returned to the carriage.

Qian Qianqian also got up and got into the carriage, Xue Yi followed on horseback, and the group set off in a majestic manner.

The mountain road is not as good as the official road, as soon as you enter the mountain forest, the light is much darker, and the road is full of potholes, the carriage is very bumpy, and Qian Qianqian can't sit firmly in it at all.

"Ahh

Although Qian Qianqian was a little uncomfortable, she also knew that now was not the time to be reckless, so she obediently hid in Xiao Mohan's arms and didn't dare to move at all.

Qin Li led the way at the front, the mountain road was not easy to walk, so their speed was much slower, there were dense mountains and forests on both sides, and if something jumped out of the forest at this time, they would probably be in a mess.

Halfway through the mountain road, suddenly several cold arrows shot straight from the forest, facing Xiao Mohan and Qian Qianqian's carriage, Xiao Mohan glimpsed the movement outside through the gap in the car curtain, and immediately hugged Qian Qianqian and dodged.

The arrows pierced through the curtain of the car, missed any hard objects, and flew straight out, stabbing into the trunk of the tree.

Qian Qianqian also noticed that something was wrong, although she had been hiding in Xiao Mohan's arms, she really saw the arrow just now, it seemed that there was an ambush in this forest.

"Hiss-" The coachman in front of him suddenly reined in his horse, Qin Li and Xue Yi also came back to their senses, and successively pulled out their weapons, and dozens of black-clothed people fell from the sky, firmly surrounding Xiao Mohan and his party in the center.

"You just stay in the carriage and don't pay attention to whatever happens."

Xiao Mohan lowered his head and ordered Qian Qianqian, his expression was full of solemnity, and his deep eyes were murderous, and his gaze was fierce, which made people shudder.

Before Qian Qianqian could react, Xiao Mohan pulled out the long knife on his side, rushed out of the carriage, and took the lead before those black-clothed people could make a move.

The forest suddenly screamed about killing, Qian Qianqian also clenched the dagger hidden in her sleeve, lay on the side of the car window, and carefully stared at the situation outside, if Xiao Mohan had any accidents, she would rush out and fight with these black-clothed people.

Obviously, these black-clothed people are all trained masters, not only are their martial arts not weak, but everyone also cooperates very tacitly, although Xue Yi and Qin Li are powerful, they are also evenly matched compared to these black-clothed people, and no one can defeat anyone.

At this time, Xiao Mohan took out a jade whistle from his sleeve, and suddenly blew it, several black shadows flashed in the forest, and masked people jumped out one by one, and quickly solved several black-clothed people, and the situation was reversed in an instant.

It didn't take long for those black-clothed people to be solved, and only a few people were left to survive, and those people wanted to run, but they were trapped tightly by Xiao Mohan's people, and they didn't have the slightest chance.
