"Bring that Ugin horse."

“…… Be! "The master's exclusive white dragon horse, usually don't even let people touch it, but now he is willing to let Mrs. ride, it seems that Mrs. This half of the master... Soon he will be upgraded to another master of his.

Leng Yuan rode on Ugin and immediately chased after Mu Ling.

Hundreds of black-helmeted and black-armored cavalry, like a whirlwind wrapped in a dark cloud, followed Leng Yuan and Mu Ling's horses, and everywhere they passed, they all kicked up billowing smoke and dust, which seemed murderous and powerful.

Pedestrians on the road, those who were far away, hurriedly hid to the side.

Mu Ling and his entourage were unimpeded all the way.

In a blink of an eye, I passed through Mujia Village and arrived at the foot of Heigangzhai.

The mountain roads are rugged and not suitable for horseback riding.

Leng Yuan left ten guards to guard the horses, and led eighty-six guards led by Cha Busi, closely following Mu Ling, climbing up the mountain along the winding and rugged mountain road.

This completely disrupted Mu Ling's plan - resting, eating, drinking, and sleeping halfway up the mountain, and going down the mountain when the time came.

But now, she can only take one step at a time and go up the mountain honestly. Because this is the only way to Heigangzhai - it is a gully several feet wide and a few feet high that has been washed out by years of rain.

Otherwise, she would have found an opportunity to throw Leng Yuan and his party off, find a spacious, shady place and wait for the time to pass.

"Did you go hunting on this hill before?"

Mu Ling didn't want to talk to Leng Yuan anymore, but at this moment, when he heard him ask, he still nodded at him.

"How far is this from the cave where you put your things?"

Mu Ling looked up and looked ahead, and saw the lanceolate fir leaves that were withered on the ground, "According to the current footsteps, it will take about half an hour to walk." ”

"Is the cave where you put your things far away from Heigangzhai?"

Mu Ling took a heavy breath, glared at Leng Yuan, who was walking on the left, and didn't speak.

Mu Ling's displeasure, Leng Yuan saw it, and he immediately explained: "I led my men up the mountain this time, firstly, to help you find those things as soon as possible. The second is to figure out the specific location of Heigangzhai. ”

Leng Yuan saw that Mu Ling's expression was a little softened, and immediately continued: "There are also their specific numbers and troops. ”

After breathing a sigh of relief, Leng Yuan continued: "Before I was assassinated and lost my memory, my father had sent troops to encircle and suppress Heigangzhai six times, and all six times ended in a fiasco. ”

"I analysed the experience of six fiascos. 1. The horses of Heigangzhai rely on the favorable terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Second, there are a large number of ringing horses in Heigangzhai. Third, the leaders who led the army to encircle and suppress Heigangzhai carelessly underestimated the enemy. ”

After a pause, Leng Yuan continued: "If the ringing horses of Heigangzhai are not eliminated for a day, tragedies like Yinkeng Village, Pingkou Village, and Baoji Village will be staged again. ”

Leng Yuan saw that Mu Ling did not interrupt him, and his face gradually softened, feeling that this topic could arouse her interest, so he continued to talk about this topic.

"Before I was assassinated and fell into the river, I always thought that 'Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road', which was an exaggerated way of writing by poor scholars in order to satirize officials and sympathize with farmers."

"After two months in a fisherman's house, I gained a deep understanding of the gap between the rich and the poor."

"In the circle where I live, five taels of silver is usually not enough for a drink. But if a family of eight fishermen wants to save five taels of silver, they must go out to sea to fish every day and night for two and a half years, and they have to save money and the family is not sick or painful. Therefore, they sold my 'son' to you for a 'sky-high price' of five taels of silver. ”

In the latter sentence, Leng Yuan bit the words quite heavily, and his eyes kept falling on Mu Ling's hot and sweaty, pretty face of the red servant.

There are still some things that are not said later: In order to prevent me from repenting, the cold fishermen deliberately drugged our joint wine and added ingredients to the gilded lily incense burner in the new house.

Seeing that Mu Ling was always in a hurry, and had no intention of talking, he continued: "I lived in the cold fisherman's house for two months, and I deeply experienced the hardships of the peasant life. ”

"Today, throughout Zhangzhou, the drought continues to spread. Although my father has repeatedly asked the imperial court for disaster relief food and disaster relief funds, it is only a drop in the bucket for the hundreds of thousands of victims in Zhangzhou. ”

"Under the drought, the life of the farmers is hard enough. If the horses still take the opportunity to make trouble, the peasants really have no way to live. ”

At the end, Leng Yuan looked at Mu Ling, "What do you think?" ”

Mu Ling wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned his head to look at Leng Yuan, and concluded breathlessly: "Leng Ye is right, while sending people to distribute disaster relief food to various counties, we must dispatch elite men and horses as soon as possible to exterminate all the ringing horses on the hills!" ”

"Hmm." Leng Yuan nodded, and saw that there was a high ridge in front of him, he climbed it neatly, and then turned around and stretched out his hand towards Mu Ling.

He was worried that his actions would be resisted by Mu Ling, so he hurriedly urged in a deep voice: "Come! Hurry up! Let's try to get to the cave where you're hiding in about two quarters of an hour. Once you've found something, give it to them. Let's find an opportunity to sneak into Heigangzhai to find out the situation. ”

Mu Ling saw that the ridge in front of him was waist-high, and it was indeed difficult to climb up. Seeing that Leng Yuan stretched out his hand towards her, still calmly facing Zhangjun, and urging eagerly, she reached out and held his big hand without hesitation.

Immediately, she tapped her feet twice on the steps, climbed up smoothly, and said sincerely to Leng Yuan: "Thank you." ”

Although Leng Yuan let go of Mu Ling's hand after she boarded the ridge. But at the moment when Mu Ling's hand held his big hand, he clearly felt the temperature from her palm, and also felt the hardness of many calluses in her palm.

Leng Yuan was faintly distressed, in the past year and ten months, he had to take care of his sleeping husband, take care of his three young sons, run for life, and deal with the Mu family who made things difficult for him everywhere... It's really hard for her.

"Didn't you say hurry up to the cave where I hid something? What are you doing stunned? Mu Ling saw that Leng Yuan was stunned, and urged: "Let's go!" ”
