Although Minna is happy to have escaped from Nomonca, the pursuers have not yet been freed, and they cannot breathe a sigh of relief. All she could do was take care of herself and not let herself become a drag on her grandfather, while Xiao Tianjian concentrated on riding her horse and galloping wildly, escaping from the pursuers behind.

The two men who had just been found at the city gate also escaped on horseback and went in the other direction, because they diverted some of the pursuers, so Minna and Xiao Tianjian had an easy journey.

After passing a fork in the road, she soon saw another hill in front of her, and was about to turn when Minna suddenly felt a tightening of her collar, followed by the sound of a whip falling on the horse's hips, and in front of her eyes, she had been carried by her grandfather and jumped into the grass beside the road, rolled twice, and hid behind the rocks, and the horse that had been snatched was hurt by the whip, and went straight up the mountain.

Minna was about to ask her grandfather why she had lost the horse, but Xiao Tianjian covered her mouth and pressed her against the stone to prevent her from making a sound. She couldn't help but be full of suspicion, and listened to the chasing soldiers galloping by on the main road, and ran to the horse, and then suddenly realized. It turns out that Grandpa is trying to deceive those soldiers, what a clever!

However, without horses, they can only walk, isn't that too slow?

Xiao Tianjian had his own opinion, the chasing team had different riding skills and horse quality, and they were in pursuit, so the queue was not neat, and the last of them was at least four or five feet away from his companions. Xiao Tianjian took advantage of the fact that all the riders in front of him turned around on the mountain road, so he swept over quietly, twisted the knight's neck, threw the body on the side of the road, and immediately turned his horse's head and picked up his granddaughter on the side of the road, and ran back.

Noga's horses were covered with bridles, so they didn't alarm the others. The soldiers only cared about the "target of pursuit" in front of them, and how did they expect that some of their companions had already died?

Minna only wondered why the owner of the horse suddenly relented, and then Grandpa took the horse, but she remembered the methods that Grandpa had used to deal with her before, so she became suspicious. Returning to the fork in the road he had passed earlier, Xiao Tianjian rode his horse onto another fork in the road. Minna looked at her mouth wide open, it turned out to be ...... Is there such an escape method?

However, the military horse is still very conspicuous, and the previous pursuers will sooner or later find that they have been tricked, so Xiao Tianjian did not leave for long, so he used the old method to let the military horse continue to run forward, and stole a horse tied to the door of a small shop on the side of the road, and embarked on another fork in the road.

Minna didn't think it was a good idea, but before she could say anything, she was covered by a large cloak that her grandfather had taken out, and it was pitch black in front of her, and when she saw the light again, she was already in a small wood. She was about to ask Xiao Tianjian where this was, but he put up a signal to silence her, then grabbed the horse and looked out of the forest. Minna followed his line of sight and saw that it was not far from the small shop for changing horses. It didn't take long for the Noga pursuers to find the intersection in front of the shop, and one of the soldiers dismounted and checked the traces on the ground, and said something, and they all went in the direction of the horses.

At this moment, a middle-aged man came out of the shop, first looked curiously at the soldiers who had gone away, and then found that his horse was missing, so he shouted angrily and chased after him.

Xiao Tianjian was happy when he saw it, so he hurriedly picked up his granddaughter and got on the horse, put on the big cloak, covered Minna at the hem, told the child not to make a sound, and then manipulated the horse to get back on the road.

Noga's soldiers are very good at riding, and there are many people in the area around Nomonka, and those people are willing to provide clues for their own army, so although Xiao Tianjian and Minna and his party repeatedly got out of the sight of the pursuers, the other party still followed closely. As a last resort, they changed their horses four times, each time by a different means of brilliance, and at last they entered a large mountain after dark, and temporarily escaped their pursuers.

At night they found a cave and spent the night, and in order not to attract attention, they had to make a small fire, eat dry food and drink cold water. Minna was used to it and didn't pay much attention to it, but it was a pity in her heart that her magic was biased towards the water system, so she hadn't learned the fireball technique yet, but she could get a lot of water to wash her hands and face.

Looking at her grandfather, she was a little speechless. Xiao Tianjian found out and asked, "What do you want to say?" Just say it. ”

Minna was bold and said, "Grandpa, it really doesn't matter if we take someone else's horse?" People here don't seem to be very wealthy......"

Xiao Tianjian was stunned and said with a smile: "Our little Mingna is so kind, she obviously hates this country, but she still worries about their people." ”

"No, no, no." Minna waved her hand hurriedly, "I didn't mean that, I just ......" she was a little confused about what to say, "Mom and Dad taught me that if you want someone else's things, you must first get permission from others." Isn't it the same as the two aunts in the branch when we took away other people's horses like this? They are just ......" she hesitated, "stealing" seems to be a bad word, it shouldn't be used on the heroic grandfather, right?

"Of course it's different, they ......" Xiao Tianjian tilted his head, feeling that it really didn't seem to be any different, but he didn't want to lose face in front of his granddaughter, so he said vaguely, "They are greedy to take away the things in the branch, but we borrowed other people's horses because we had to do so. And when the Nogars caught up with the horses and found that we were not there, they would return the horses. ”

Minna blinked, "Really? ”

"Of course." He cheekily lied: "But Minna is right, I am indeed too negligent, and the next time I borrow someone else's horse, I will leave a bag of gold coins as rent." ”

"What a waste!"

Xiao Tianjian was stunned: "Huh? ”

Minna's little face was full of seriousness: "Grandpa is too wasteful, a Nogama only costs three gold coins, and grandpa has at least ten gold coins in a bag of gold coins, it's too much of a loss!" She stretched out her finger and counted: "Actually, I wanted to say it a long time ago, grandpa wasted money, after entering Nomonka, it was a bag of gold coins at every turn, and when I entered the hotel for dinner that day, we didn't eat anything in a hurry, and the verbose clerk only had less than two gold coins to settle the bill, so you threw him two bags!" Even if you can hold a lot of money in the ring, it will be spent quickly. Mom said that you can't spend money lavishly. ”

Xiao Tianjian was speechless by his granddaughter's count, and asked for a long time: "How do you know how much Nuojia's horse is worth?" ”

"When Mom and Dad used to buy horses, they used to argue for a long time about which one to buy. Mom said it would be enough to buy a horse from Merton, two gold coins each, but Dad said that Noga's horse was stronger. After Minna answered, she looked at her grandfather and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, grandpa, shouldn't I say that?" She was a little uneasy, although she knew that her grandfather was very rich, but since she was a child, she watched her mother save money, and she always felt that it was not good to spend money like this.

"How so?" Xiao Tianjian smiled, "Just say whatever you want, what do you have to worry about with grandpa?" It's good that you have your own ideas. However, you are wrong about one thing, Noga's horses are actually only sold for one or two gold coins a horse in their own country, and the price you say is the price after it arrives in Merton, right? It was much more expensive, because Noga's horses could not be sold freely abroad, only on the black market, so the price was particularly high. ”

"Oh......" Minna nodded, unaware that the topic had deviated from the original point, because she had just mentioned her parents, and she suddenly missed them very much, "Grandpa, where are we going now?" Can you go home? ”

Xiao Tianjian sighed: "Now that the clue is broken, I can only go back." However, these pursuers are very troublesome, if we go directly to Qiton now, we will have to walk in the country of Nojia for many days, it is too dangerous, it is better to go to the southern border first, and go back by Dao Van A. Thinking about it again, he felt that there was no way out, although he didn't want to enter the country where the Cult of Light was founded, it was really not a pleasant thing to be pushed behind like a dog.

Minna asked, "So how many days are we going to go?" She didn't know very well about the distribution of countries on the mainland, only roughly knew that her motherland East was in the east, and her grandmother had studied at the School of Magic in Shaonan in the south, and Nojia was in the north of Qitun, but what her grandfather said was not very relevant to what she knew.

After Xiao Tianjian asked his granddaughter about geography, he decided to give her a tutor in mainland geography.

He found some stones and clods, first put a small stone on the ground, and then put a clod of earth on the right and one below it, and said, "This little stone is Van A, and its citizens are all Illuminati, and on the right is East, and below is Shaonan, remember?" ”

Minna nodded, and then Xiao Tianjian put another clod of earth on top of the small stone: "This is where we are now, Nomengka is located in the middle of the country, so we are now in the south-central part of Nuojia." He pointed to the ground between the stone and the clod of earth on his right: "At the junction of the two countries, there is the Touré Mountain, and at the foot of the southern mountain are Chidon and Maiton, and if we want to return to Qiton, we will have to walk half of Nogar sideways, so we will have to walk for many days, and we will always be chased." ”

Minna stretched out her finger and compared the distances of the "places" and nodded again.

Xiao Tianjian continued: "But if we go south and reach the border of Fan'a, it will be different. There are mountains on all sides, and we go to Monri, and from there we enter Van A, and we go all the way east, and we can reach Siko, and then go north, and it only takes three days to reach Qiton, and as soon as we leave Noga, the road is very safe. After a pause, he suddenly remembered that day he had heard a conversation between the stalker and his accomplices, and that the place name "Monri" had been mentioned, as if something big was going to happen. Now that the clue in Nomonka has been broken, can you find out anything when you go to Monri?

He turned his head to look at his granddaughter, and thought that the Xiao family firm also had a shop in Mengli, and if he found a clue, he could also ask the people in the shop to help him take care of his granddaughter, or simply let them take his granddaughter back.

Minna looked at the stones and clods on the ground, and had a certain understanding of the geographical distribution of several countries, and she asked, "What about ...... What about the Elven Forest? And where is Wisha? Didn't Grandpa defeat it before? ”

Xiao Tianjian smiled and put a stone on the top right of the clod of earth that symbolized Nuojia: "The Elven Forest is here." Then he placed a clod of earth on the left side of the small stone that symbolized Brahma: "And this is Weisha, this country is almost all desert, if you want to go there in the future, you must remember to bring enough food and water, otherwise life will be very difficult." ”

Minna remembered and asked, "Is there anywhere else?" The continent is so big, there must be somewhere else, right? ”

"That's pretty much all there is to it." Xiao Tianjian smiled, "There are also Dragon Island in the southeast and several island countries in the eastern ocean, there is nothing to say." There are a lot of mountains to the west of Wisha, and on the other side of the mountain is the Demon Domain, but you probably won't be there for the rest of your life, so that's all you need to know. He stretched out his hand and pointed to the pile of earth and stones: "This is the continent we are on, as for whether there are other continents on this planet, I don't know, it is said that there is an eastern continent, but no one knows if it really exists." ”

Minna thought for a moment and asked puzzledly, "Didn't you say that grandpa is a descendant of immigrants from the Eastern Continent?" That's where our ancestors came from, right? ”

"Of course not." Xiao Tianjian categorically vetoed, but he didn't know how to explain his origin, and when he saw his granddaughter looking at him curiously, he had to divert the topic: "This matter is complicated, grandpa will tell you slowly in the future." It's not early, hurry up and go to bed, we have to hurry tomorrow. He reached out and touched the scar on his granddaughter's little face, took out the medicine, applied it, and patted her head to urge her to sleep.

Minna also felt a little sleepy, yawned and lay on the quilt laid by her grandfather, but in a daze, she remembered those bloody scenes again, frowned unconsciously, turned her body, and slept unsteadily.

Xiao Tianjian noticed it, and thought that the child was just tired and couldn't sleep well, but at dawn, Minna was awakened by a nightmare, he touched the cold sweat on her forehead, and began to feel wrong: "Minna, what dream did you have just now?" ”

Minna blushed slightly, squeaked for a long time before she spoke, and then said, "I'm not actually afraid, I just keep thinking about it...... Thinking about ......" her face was getting redder and redder, and she felt that she was actually scared into having nightmares, which was really embarrassing.

Xiao Tianjian sighed and began to reflect on his own negligence, Minna, this child was different from his companions in previous adventures, he had never seen blood, nor had he seen death, how could she not be afraid when she suddenly saw such a bloody scene? He hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, it's normal to be afraid, grandpa was also scared when he was a child." ”

Minna tilted her head to look at him: "Will Grandpa be scared too?" ”

"Of course I do, I'm human. It's just that when I became stronger, I was no longer afraid. He smiled and said, "So, if you can't make yourself strong, at least find a strong husband who cares about you, so that nothing can threaten you." ”

Minna looked at him with her eyes open, not understanding what he meant.

It seemed that this was said too early, Xiao Tianjian smiled self-deprecatingly, and touched his granddaughter's head: "In short, if you are afraid, it is normal, don't be embarrassed, just tell grandpa." With grandpa here, you don't have to be afraid of anything. ”

Minna understood this, smiled and nodded vigorously, and then fell asleep under his comfort. This sleep was not long after, Xiao Tianjian heard the faint neighing of horses outside, suspected that the pursuers had arrived, woke up his granddaughter, and went out of the cave to investigate. As soon as Xiao Tianjian came back, he immediately put things into the ring, picked up his granddaughter and pulled the horse, and quietly went in the other direction.

At this time, two days have passed since the death of King Noga, and as the open and secret battles in the capital have intensified, the small actions of various countries are also quietly underway. The Noga Palace ordered checkpoints to be set up in various places to prevent people with bad intentions from infiltrating the country and causing trouble, and at the same time to prevent the spies lurking in the country from having the opportunity to escape. This method has been quite effective, and it is said that several foreign spies have been caught.

And Xiao Tianjian and Minna, shortly after leaving the cave, were trapped in a nearby village. The Nojia army set up three chain checkpoints here, only allowing locals to pass through, strictly interrogating outsiders, and even arresting people if they felt that something was wrong. The locals are vigilant, and all the people who live in front of them will be treated as suspicious objects.

In this situation, even Xiao Tianjian felt a headache, the dry food on his body was almost exhausted, and this was the only way to go to Mengli, there were high mountains on both sides of the checkpoint, even if he had to walk the mountain road, he had to have enough food, but the only local shop selling cooked food such as bread was next to the garrison, did he want to take the risk?

After thinking about it, he decided to use the old method - stealing, going to ordinary people's homes to steal, as long as he left one or two gold coins for others. He listened to his granddaughter's words and didn't spend too much money.

At this time, Minna spoke: "Grandpa, let me buy it." ”

"You?" Xiao Tianjian was a little stunned.

"Yes. I'm a little kid and they won't doubt me. Just buy food, right? Minna smiled widely, "I can do it, let me go, right?" ”

Xiao Tianjian hesitated.
