"Yes!"

Wang Jingyong seemed to have the intention of "being ashamed before the snow", stepped forward in person, jumped and kicked it, and the dagger in the man's hand flew out and smashed to the ground with a "clang".

The long knives in the hands of several close followers quickly stood in front of and behind the man, without giving the other party any more chance to move.

"Whom, by whom?"

The man's neck was tense, his bloodshot lips were tightened, and his eyes looked straight at Xiao Mu over everyone, with unconcealed murderous hatred in it.

When he exited, he gritted his teeth and said: "No one commands, if you want to kill, you will kill!" ”

"First search the four places thoroughly to confirm whether this person is in the same party!" Wang Jingyong ordered.

The people divided into several groups and searched for them.

The man sneered when he saw this, and turned his head away.

Mrs. Xiao and the others heard the movement and hurriedly came over to check.

“…… How could there be a mole getting in! Mrs. Xiao was quite surprised and afraid.

All of them are confidants, how could there be such a mistake?

"Mother rest assured, this person is not a mole." Xiao Mu looked at the man who was restrained and said, "The military uniform on his body doesn't fit—"

Mrs. Xiao looked at it carefully when she heard this: "That's ......"

"General, the body of a brother was found in the woods, hidden under dead leaves, and a fatal stab in the neck! The uniform is gone! Soon a soldier turned back and said.

Madame Xiao frowned.

Over there, the White Divine Doctor picked up the dagger to check it, and said in a "tsk" voice: "There is also a poison quenched on it, so I really came prepared......

As for why he also went to Jingshi with him - naturally where the apprentice was, he was there.

The men who went out to search returned one after another.

"General, no other signs of activity have been found around." Yin Hai, who went to search in the forest himself, said: "This person should have come alone, so he could avoid the scout's previous investigation. ”

Hearing this result, Xiao Mu was obviously not surprised.

He glanced at the assassin and said, "Take it with you first, and continue on your way." ”

Everyone should go down.

It didn't matter if an Assassin was judged, it didn't matter if he was tried later, and it was even more important to get out before dark.

Xiao Mu and the others walked in the direction of the carriage.

"You reacted so quickly, how did you notice something wrong with this person?" Xiao Mu asked Hengyu.

He pulled her behind him and realized that she wasn't unaware of it.

"Seeing that he should be dressed as a small soldier, even if he is a priest, he should not go past the deputy general Wang and come directly to you-" Heng Yu replied and asked, "What about the Hou Ye?" How do you notice it? Uniforms don't fit? ”

But this kind of thing like a soldier's uniform doesn't fit happens occasionally, so it's not a decisive point, right?

And he pulled her over so quickly, obviously more than just suspicion-

"Intuition." Xiao Mu was concise and to the point.

Heng Yu turned his head to look at him: "Intuition? ”

"The killing intent on him is very heavy." Xiao Mu explained: "There are many opinions on this kind of killing, so it is not difficult to distinguish. ”

Hengyu listened with some emotion.

Quite right.

There must have been many people who wanted to kill him, and there were many who tried to kill him.

On the battlefield, but not only on the battlefield.

"Fortunately, Hou Ye is careful, otherwise even if the skin and flesh are broken by that dagger, he will turn back into a poisonous Hou Ye."

"That's good, so I don't have to play cards with you anymore."

"I'm really scared of losing." Heng Yu said understandingly: "Then tomorrow I will find an excuse and stop going to my aunt's car?" ”

"That's really grateful."

Seeing that the carriage was in front of him, Heng Yu suddenly took a step closer to him.

The two of them were already walking side by side, and when she suddenly took this step, she was about to meet him.

Xiao Mu paused.

I saw her leaning in his direction slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Master Hou, do you recognize that assassin?" ”

Xiao Mu didn't expect her to ask this, so she pulled back her thoughts and nodded slightly.

Heng Yu understood: "Sure enough, it's a personal vendetta?" ”

"It doesn't count." Xiao Mu looked at the assassin who was tied up and escorted to the carriage, and said, "Or, it's an old man." ”

It's just that this old man no longer recognizes "him".

Heng Yu sighed: "It's another one who wants to kill Xiao Mu." ”

But what is the origin of this old man?

Heng Yu didn't have time to ask any more.

This little turmoil was searched everywhere, and it was delayed for half an hour, and the matter of rushing could not be delayed any longer.

The mountain road is difficult to walk, and it is not fast, and when I leave the mountain, the sky is completely dark.

"At this hour, the city gate in front of us is closed, do you need to send someone to pass the order of the marquis to let them open the city gate?" Wang Jingyong drove to Xiao Mu's car and asked.

"There is no need to make this exception to disturb the people." Xiao Mu said: "Let people camp nearby and deal with it overnight." ”

He has no contact with the officials of the city in front of him, and letting him make such an exception may lead to unnecessary trouble.

Wang Jingyong responded, turned the horse's head, and immediately went to arrange the matter.

Fifty miles outside the city, Wang Jingyong chose to camp near a ruined temple, and the soldiers were skillful in their hands and feet, and everything was quickly settled.

"General, let someone go and investigate, there is an inn in the town ten miles to the west." A close entourage came to Xiao Mu's side and said.

Xiao Mu looked at Hengyu: "I asked Yin Hai to escort you, your mother, and the shopkeeper Gu to rest." ”

Hengyu didn't refuse, just looked at the lit bonfire and the cauldron that was raised, and asked, "What delicious food do you want to make?" ”

"It's just coarse rice in the army." Xiao Mu said: "For example, baking naan—"

"Baked naan, I haven't eaten it for a long time." Heng Yu looked at the ruined temple, and his eyes suddenly became a little distant.

"What, want to eat?" The people around her asked her.

Hengyu nodded: "Yes." ”

"Let's go." Xiao Mu raised his feet and walked towards the fire.

Heng Yu smiled and followed.

There are not so many heavy opportunities in the army, seeing that Xiao Mu came to sit down in front of the fire, the soldiers were not restrained, and they saluted and continued to do what they should do.

"Master Hou wants to roast it for me personally." Watching Xiao Mu string up the naan, Hengyu also sat down on the futon.

"Ben Hou wants to roast the fire, so I'll help you roast it by the way."

Heng Yu smiled, didn't say much, and just put his hands together and roasted them.

Xiao Mu was wearing a dark cloak, sitting there on one knee, his hands flipped from time to time, and under the light of the fire, he looked extremely serious.

Some soldiers heated the wine, and the fragrance of the strong liquor blended with the warmth of the firelight, dispelling the cold of early spring.

"General, there are people in a nearby town who know that you are passing through this place and have sent three sheep over." An lieutenant came over and passed the message.

Heng Yu looked at Xiao Mu when he heard this.

It is naturally no secret that he entered Beijing this time, but if ordinary people want to know his specific itinerary, they must have paid special attention to inquiring.

"Master Hou, this big Buddha, everywhere you go, there are people to make offerings." Hengyu roasted the fire and said casually.

Xiao Mu didn't look up, but said, "Let them take it back, and say that Ben Hou has it." ”

This kind of thing is not uncommon on the march, but there has always been a military rule in his army that he cannot take money from the people.

The lieutenant replied "yes", hesitated when he was about to turn around, and said: "General, those sheep have already been slaughtered, and hundreds of catties of mutton were carried by the husband and wife on foot...... It's hard to walk at night, do you need to send someone to help you send it back? ”

Are they all slaughtered?

This is not only thoughtful, but also afraid that they will not accept it, right?

Heng Yu looked at Xiao Mu again.

Seeing her looking at her frequently, Xiao Mu thought for a moment, and said to the lieutenant: "In this case, let's stay, let Doctor Yan check it, and if there is nothing unusual, I will divide it - give some silver at the market price, and let them accept it." ”

The lieutenant should be lowered.

"Wait—" Heng Yu took off the money bag at his waist, raised his hand and threw it at the lieutenant, and said with a smile: "Thank you for taking care of you all the way, I will invite you to eat meat tonight." ”

The lieutenant subconsciously raised his hand to catch it, and then looked at Xiao Mu with a asking look.

"Take it." Xiao Mu continued to bake naan cakes: "Anyway, the wool comes out of the sheep. ”

Yes?

The lieutenant didn't understand, but he still understood "take it", so he smiled at Hengyu and went to do something.

"Master Hou, look-" Heng Yu gently poked Xiao Mu with his elbow.

Xiao Mu turned her head to look along her line of sight, and saw that not far away, the two people who had come to deliver mutton were waving their hands with the captain in a panic.

They looked to be in their forties, and their faces were full of simplicity.

"This ...... How does this work! We didn't sell mutton, we really wanted to send something to General Xiao, and there was nothing else at home......" Hearing that the silver was to be given, the woman was very uneasy and ashamed.

"Master Jun, we definitely can't accept this silver...... "The man said a little helplessly: "Master Jun sometimes doesn't know, I worked as a merchant for a few years a few years ago, selling some gadgets everywhere. In that year in the north, when the king of Jin rebelled, those Khitans took advantage of the situation and took many of our people captive at the border, and I was also taken captive, and I was treated like cattle by them, and I almost lost my life several times...... In the end, it was General Xiao who saved us from those barbarians! ”

"General Xiao has a great grace to me, if I accept this silver, what kind of person will I become?"

"I don't know how many people our general has saved, if everyone comes to deliver things and spreads them, I don't know how to arrange the general outside." The lieutenant was also patient: "Since you treat the general as a benefactor, don't you listen to the benefactor's words?" The general himself said, let you take the money. ”

"This ......"

The husband and wife looked at each other for a moment, the man took the money bag, but the next moment he knelt down and kowtowed in the direction where Xiao Mu was.

The woman also knelt down.

They didn't see where Xiao Mu was, they just knelt down in the general direction, but their intentions were beyond doubt.

The husband and wife stood up with their hands on the ground, and the man wiped his tears with the back of his hand.

Hengyu looked at it with emotion.

Ordinary people may not know what to read, nor do they know how to analyze the situation, and they do not have the sense of smell to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but some only have a pure and simple heart of gratitude.

Knowing that the benefactor would pass by, he killed the sheep and brought it to him.

Other than that, there are no complicated considerations.

But this is the real people's heart.

"What a fresh mutton, this is a good thing, tonight is a blessing!" Yin Hai came over with two wine jugs and instructed in a dignified manner: "Half of it is roasted and eaten, and half of it is used for stewed soup, remember to put more pepper." ”

"Yo, why did Master Hou bake the naan by himself?" came to sit down beside Xiao Mu, and Yin Hai threw a wine jug casually as he spoke.
