The four of them looked left and right in the courtyard, and Zhu Gaoxu motioned for Sun Sheng to go to the back hall to see if there was a back door.

Not long after Sun Sheng walked in, he retreated.

I saw a middle-aged Taoist aunt, with a young female layman, walking out of the back hall.

"The place where the Daomen is cultivated, please don't disturb." Master Yuqing was holding a Buddha dust in his right hand, and his tone was a little tough.

The young female laywoman behind her was very beautiful, and after wearing a Taoist robe, she still looked a little fairy.

When she saw Zhu Gaoxu, she was also stunned.

The two certainly met.

"Little aunt." Zhu Gaoxu's face was full of surprise, this female layman was his mother's sister Xu Miaojin.

"Why did Gao Xue come here?" Xu Miaojin stared at a pair of wonderful eyes and said strangely.

"Back to my aunt, Gao Xu was just walking on the road when he was suddenly hit by a child, and later found out that Gao Xu's wallet was stolen."

"A few of us chased here, but we didn't see this child, according to Gao Xu's ---" Zhu Gao Xue replied respectfully, with a dignified face.

With that, he turned his head to look into the depths of the Taoist temple.

At this time, the Venerable Master Yuqing suddenly realized, and she looked around: "How old is the child?" We Taoist temples, only girls. ”

It turned out that they also adopted some girls in the Taoist temple, all of whom were orphans.

Zhu Gaoxu is still thinking about how old he is.

Zhong Xian's eyes suddenly lit up: "That's it." ”

Rush over.

A child was kneeling on the ground in the middle of the crowd, trying to get by, but he didn't expect Zhong Xian to find him in the crowd, he was startled, got up and ran.

But Zhao Qing was guarding the door, he turned around and wanted to run inside, but Sun Sheng had already blocked the door of the inner hall.

Several people quickly arrested him in front of Zhu Gaoxu: "Where is the money bag?" Sun Sheng asked.

The little ones did not speak, but stared at them.

Only then did everyone realize that this was actually a little girl.

The girl is about ten years old, with long eyebrows and clear eyes, she looks like a beauty embryo, and when she grows up, she is definitely a big beauty no less than Xu Miaojin.

"Where's His Highness's money bag?" Zhao Qing didn't care, and asked sharply at this time.

The girl still didn't speak, just stared at them.

"How can it be?" Sun Sheng was furious and raised his hand to fight.

"Stop." Xu Miaojin and Master Yuqing drank almost at the same time.

Sun Sheng had no choice but to withdraw his hand in embarrassment.

"How much money you lost, I'll pay you back for her." Xu Miaojin said.

"What my little aunt said, I just want to know why she stole my things." Zhu Gaoxu's face was not good: "Was it instructed by someone?" ”

Master Yuqing frowned: "She is so young, who can instruct her?" ”

What's more, what's the use of stealing your money bag?

"Did you take it?" Xu Miaojin asked the girl softly at this time.

The girl slowly held her mouth, suddenly her eyes turned red, and she sobbed: "My father and mother are dead, and I haven't eaten for three days." ”

The Venerable Master Yuqing and Xu Miaojin suddenly became overflowing with maternal love, one hurriedly found someone to get food, and the other persuaded her not to cry.

It turned out that the girl's father was a military guard in Beiping City, and when King Yan raised troops last month, he was killed by the Yan army.

Afterwards, King Yan cleaned up the whole city, and the family members of this kind of military household who were killed by the Yan army didn't care.

The girl's mother also died in the rebellion, and she was the only one left, and she finally finished eating the things at home, but she really didn't have anything to eat, so she came out to steal food.

She saw that Zhu Gaoxu was dressed more like a rich man, so she had a bad idea.

But the first time I did it, the action was really rude, and of course I was caught.

After that, she cried and ran back to the incense case in front of Magu, and took out a money bag and returned it to Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu looked embarrassed, took out a few coins from the money bag and handed them to the girl, and said, "If you want, you can go back to the palace with this king---

"Buddha Amitayus." Master Yuqing interrupted Zhu Gaoxu at this time: "Don't bother Your Highness, our Yuqingguan has adopted many orphans. ”

“。。” Zhu Gaoxu glanced at the little girl, very beautiful, this has been raised, stained.

"Gao Xu, you don't have to worry about her, leave it to us." Xu Miaojin said decisively.

"Since the little aunt said so, of course Gao Xu will obey, if she is not used to staying here, Gao Xu can send someone to pick her up at any time." After Zhu Gaoxu finished speaking, he hugged his fists at Master Yuqing and Xu Miaojin, turned around and strode away.

Watching Zhu Gaoxu go away, Master Yuqing lovingly touched the little girl's head: "What's your name?" What's your father's name? ”

"Father Duan Yuhuo, my name is Duan Lanxin."

"Are you still literate?" Master Yuqing listened to her as if she had gone to school.

"I've studied for a while, but I don't know much." The little girl said nervously.

"Good, good."

The Venerable Master Yuqing saw her as beautiful and smart, and the more she looked at her, the more she liked her.

A few days later, Yuan Yi came to the door and privately communicated to Yuqing: "Duan Yuhuo is the former Jeju Wei Baihu, and he was killed with Yu Yao guarding Xizhi Gate, and his mother-in-law was also killed by the rebels, I heard that there is a daughter named Duan Lanxin." ”

The Venerable Master Yuqing's face was full of joy: "This girl is young, she is naturally beautiful, knowledgeable, intelligent, and can be cultivated well, and she will be of great use in the future." ”

On the same day that Duan Lanxin entered the Taoist temple, outside Beiping City, Chen Wenzheng and Yang Lishan broke up.

Yang Lishan sat on the back of a girl about ten years old, and the girl's expression was a little confused, as if she was at a loss.

Chen Wen said to her in a good voice: "You follow this mountain uncle to live in the village, study and read hard, and in the future, you will definitely have a good life." ”

The little girl nodded blankly, still with a frightened expression on her face.

"From now on, your name will be Chen Yan, do you remember?" Chen Wen said softly.

"Remembered." The girl responded obediently, and after a pause, she added: "Thank you, father." ”

"Good." Chen Wen stroked her hair, nodded to Yang Lishan, and patted his horse gently.

driving, Yang Lishan took Chen Yan to the direction of Hanwangzhai.

After sending Yang Lishan away, Chen Wen drove his horse to Wanping.

The military camp of the king of Gaoyang is here, or there is nothing to do in Beiping, and Zhu Gaoxu usually lives in the camp.

But I haven't been here for two days lately, and it's said that I have a woman.

Chen Wenjue is very normal, at the age of the king of Gaoyang County, he should have a woman a long time ago, and he should have a few sons.

If it weren't for the fact that his daughter Chen Yan was still young, Chen Wen would want to marry his daughter to the king of Gaoyang County.

However, when Chen Wen arrived at the gate of the barracks, he saw Sun Sheng leading the war horse out, as if he was going out.

"Your Highness is here?" Chen Wenxi said.

Sun Sheng said with a smile: "Your Highness said that you can't indulge in gentle township, but you still want to accompany your brothers more." ”

"Haha." Chen Wen nodded secretly.

"Where are you going?"

"Your Highness asked to notify all the hundred households and above the general flag, and they were called to a meeting every moment."

Chen Wen didn't ask any more questions and drove his horse into the camp.

There are 300 people in the camp here, including Chen Wen's own team of 100 people, Wang Bin and Song Meng.

The west side of the camp is leaning against the mountain, and many people are now practicing archery.

In the large camp, the horses galloped, and dozens of cavalrymen rode from south to north, shooting westward while riding.

Plop, from time to time I heard the sound of an arrow hitting the target.

After running to the north, turn back and continue shooting, usually after a few rounds of shooting, you will rest and change to other cavalry.

What is practicing now is Song Meng's 100-man team.
