Chapter 269: If you want to hug it, don't move your hands and feet
"Do you know what you're talking about?" Xiao Xiantang's face was shocked, he never thought that Mu Chonglan would one day persuade him to secretly hoard troops and horses, didn't she know that if this matter was discovered, it would be equivalent to rebellion?
Mu Chonglan pursed her lips and lowered her eyelids: "I know, but Xiao Xiantang, not everyone is a good person, Yanzhou is full of bandits, it's so chaotic, it's not as peaceful as you think." ”
"Did you dream again?" Xiao Xiantang asked.
Mu Chonglan lowered his head, raised it again, and looked at Xiao Xiantang with some sadness: "I didn't dream about what happened to you in Yanzhou, but when I saw you coming back in a dream, I had a lot of scars on my body, so I know that it is not a good place there, you bring more people over, I feel more at ease." ”
There is a very strange unspoken rule in the Dasheng Imperial Court, that is, officials are sent abroad, but the wives and children in the family are not allowed to follow, and occasionally some wives and children go with them, that is also the parents are still in the imperial capital, as for the reason, everyone actually knows it, but no one will deliberately say it, silently abide by this rule, so as not to be suspicious of the above.
Therefore, Mu Chonglan felt that in this life, she would not be able to get out of Dadu like in the previous life, unless she could manage to get those people from the Xiao family to Dadu.
"Okay." Xiao Xiantang nodded, Mu Chonglan had so many victims in his hands, it was indeed a little too conspicuous, he had long wanted to persuade her to deal with some, but he was worried about Mu Chonglan's stubborn temper and refused to sell these people, at this time Mu Chonglan mentioned that he wanted to give people to himself, and he took the opportunity to bring up this matter.
In fact, there is nothing, just send some people to buy these victims in batches and break them into pieces, so it will not be so easy to be stared at.
Mu Chonglan listened to Xiao Xiantang's words and felt that this matter was feasible, so he nodded: "The deed of sale is in Yan Xingsheng's hands, you can find him to buy it." ”
"Hmm." Xiao Xiantang responded, planning to hand over the matter of buying people to Yan Xingsheng by the way, and let Yan Xingsheng toss how he bought his own people. "By the way, over there in Qingzhou, you have to send some people over."
"Why?"
"Suddenly a large number of victims were sold, which seems unreasonable and makes you very ruthless." Xiao Xiantang explained.
Mu Chonglan frowned, the last time she topped the Sky Lantern Bamboo Tower, those people came to help, although she knew that she didn't really sell them, but others didn't know, they would think that she couldn't afford it, or wanted to make a lot of money. "Xiao Xiantang, you are so thoughtful, I can't even think of this."
"You're a fan of the authorities." Xiao Xiantang explained.
Mu Chonglan nodded. "Perhaps."
"I will ask Yan Xingsheng to divide the people, and when the time comes, he will tell you which ones to send to Qingzhou." Xiao Xiantang thought to himself, although they are all strong men, but there are also differences, the first batch of people who go with him must be able to use some fists and feet, and be loyal, otherwise they will not be able to get to the place at all, they will complain again and again, and may even take the opportunity to escape, if that is the case, he can only be ruthless, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Okay, you decide, I'll listen to you." Mu Chonglan didn't hesitate, but after saying this, she thought for a moment and added, "Can you also take some women and children away?" ”
"Women and children?"
"Yes, many of them are a family, they don't want to be separated, you bring some women and children over, women and children don't eat much, but they can sew and mend, and they can also farm and cook, it's not completely useless." When Mu Chonglan said it, he was very serious.
Xiao Xiantang frowned, the women and children in Mu Chonglan's hands, he didn't want to take them with him, because he knew that it was a vicious battle, and taking some women and children with him was tantamount to carrying a burden, and he didn't think there was any cruelty in separating these strong men from their families, after all, when they were taken to Dadu to sell themselves, if they weren't lucky enough to meet Mu Chonglan, they might not be sold to, and they might be separated, and they wouldn't see each other for the rest of their lives, so how could they be so hypocritical.
However, thinking like this in his heart, Xiao Xiantang still couldn't bear to refuse Mu Chonglan, so he nodded: "Pick some neat women and children, the elderly and children should be sent to Qingzhou." ”
"That's fine." Mu Chonglan nodded, thinking that the old man was not suitable for running around, and it was indeed better for children to study in Qingzhou than to go to Yanzhou.
"One more thing." Xiao Xiantang said again.
Mu Chonglan looked at him, a little puzzled: "What else is going on?" ”
"These women and children who are with them will not be able to leave until at least three months late." Xiao Xiantang made a request.
Mu Chonglan felt that it didn't matter, so he nodded: "Yes, it's all up to you." ”
"Okay." Xiao Xiantang said in his heart, their feet are fast, but the women and children are not fast, so there is at least half a year of time difference, so many things have become a foregone conclusion, and the troubles caused by those women and children will not seem so troublesome.
Subsequently, the two of them said a word, and I said a word, and the date was quickly finalized.
Xiao Xiantang looked at Mu Chonglan in his arms, which was very different from before, and had a strange feeling in his heart, he liked Mu Chonglan, who could discuss things with him now, and Mu Chonglan, who was stupid enough to cry before, but these two people were like one person and two people, this contradictory feeling made Xiao Xiantang feel very complicated.
In the end, Xiao Xiantang attributed this strange phenomenon to Mu Chonglan's Huangliang dream, and felt that her changes might be related to this Huangliang dream.
However, it is just a dream, can the dream be taken seriously?
"Mu Chonglan, when you had this dream, was it the wedding day of you and me?" Xiao Xiantang suddenly asked.
"Hmm." Mu Chonglan nodded unguardedly, thinking that he was reborn that day, so it was almost the same to say that he was dreaming that day.
"......" Xiao Xiantang narrowed his eyes, remembering Mu Chonglan's strange reaction on the wedding day, and suddenly felt like something was about to come out.
At the same time, Mu Chonglan didn't know anything, tilted his head and thought for a while, and said to Xiao Xiantang: "Xiao Xiantang, do you know that you are really smart and a little scary sometimes, as if there is nothing you don't know." ”
"How so."
"Huh?"
"There are many things I don't know, such as ......" Xiao Xiantang leaned into Mu Chonglan's ear and blew a breath, his voice was bewitching: "Tell me, are we holding us like this in your dream." ”
Mu Chonglan thought about it for a while, in the previous life, the two of them got along almost endlessly, how could they be so calm at this time, but it seems that it is not for nothing to hold this matter. "Hmm."
"What do you mean?"
"It's like this, but I'm taller, so I don't like you to hold it." After Mu Chonglan finished speaking, he paused, and added: "Your cold hands are a physical problem, and no matter how long you stuff them into my clothes to warm them, they won't warm up, so can you stop touching them." ”
"......" Xiao Xiantang, who was disgusted, stopped what he was doing and grinded his teeth secretly.
Mu Chonglan pursed her lips, and said in her heart that Xiao Xiantang always hugged her, just with the idea of keeping warm, as if she liked to be next to him when it was hot, and she didn't have any good intentions.
