Man Bao raised his head and looked at them carefully. There was a little worry on their faces when they said this, but their faces were too fierce, otherwise they would have been more trustworthy.
The others didn't have much expression on their faces, but Mr. Zhuang looked confident. He was even more sad than the other person, "There are many wolves on the grassland. The children are not very old. They won't be snatched away by wolves, right?"
The second brother's eyebrows moved, "No, there are so many cattle and sheep. If the wolf wants to seize the sheep, it will be the first to seize the sheep."
Mr. Zhuang then looked relieved and said, "That's good, that's good. It's just that the grassland is so big and five people are so small. Where can you find it?"
The second brother lowered his eyes and said: "Paihuazi will definitely take action to arrest the people, so it is right to go in the direction of the city. Did your Excellency come out of Liangzhou City today?"
Mr. Zhuang nodded, "Yes, we left the city early in the morning. We originally planned to camp further ahead, but I am old and weak and can't stand the bumps, and a few children are naughty and ran around everywhere along the way, so I left."
You have to be slow, otherwise we won't be able to meet each other tonight."
Mr. Zhuang sighed, "This is really fate."
All the thieves: ...It would have been a better fate. If they hadn't had something to do tonight, they might have invited someone up the mountain to be their guests tomorrow.
The second brother also nodded, and then asked: "Sir, came all the way from Liangzhou. Did you meet any suspicious people on the way?"
He said: "You also know that our tribe lost five children..."
Mr. Zhuang sighed and shook his head, "We only met some herdsmen grazing. By the way, there is also a tribe five miles ahead. We played with them for a while before we stationed today. If anyone suspicious passes by, even if we don't
Pay attention and they will notice too.”
He looked worried and making suggestions for the other party, "Maybe you are not heading towards Liangzhou? I know this used to be Suzhou, but is there any official way to go to other places?"
The second brother was thoughtful and did not answer the question. Instead, he thanked him and said, "Thank you, sir. I have sent people to look for it."
A servant brought a stack of bowls and a pot of tea. As soon as it was poured, the strong aroma of tea filled everyone's noses. Mr. Zhuang invited them to drink tea.
The second brother took the bowl and blew it and was about to drink it. At a glance, he saw that only their side had tea, and the people opposite didn't even have a bowl. He couldn't help but pause for a moment, then put down the bowl as if nothing had happened and asked: "Why don't you adults?"
drink?"
Mr. Zhuang smiled and said: "Tea wakes you up. We won't drink tea after nightfall. We are used to it."
Man Bao and Bai Shan nodded, indicating that what their husbands said was right.
The second brother smiled and said, "Really?"
He lowered his eyes, glanced at the tea bowl, and said, "This tea is too hot."
He placed the teacup on the grass next to him and glanced at the others. Upon seeing this, the others also put down the teacup. Those who had already taken two sips wanted to scratch their necks and spit it out.
The second brother withdrew his gaze and looked at the person opposite.
Mr. Zhuang and others didn't seem to care at all, and continued to sit without much change in their expressions.
The second brother remembered something and glanced at Zhou Man again, "Your Excellency is an official of Honglu Temple. So you are from the capital?"
Mr. Zhuang nodded.
"I heard someone said that there is a little miracle doctor or a goddess doctor in the capital, who has become an official in the palace. She is the first female official in the court. I don't know if it is true?"
Mr. Zhuang smiled and nodded, "It's true."
"Not long ago, I heard someone said that a female imperial doctor came to Liangzhou City, and she treated the old lady of the Governor's Mansion. Could it be that the little miracle doctor came to Liangzhou City?"
Mr. Zhuang smiled and said nothing, and Bai Shan said: "Brother, you are really well informed. I wonder where your tribe is stationed now. How long does it take for the news from Liangzhou to your tribe to arrive? By the way, we have been chatting for a long time.
,You still don’t know what your brother’s name is?”
The second brother then looked at Bai Shan, and Bai Shan also raised his eyes to look at him. Their eyes met, one was as fierce as a wolf, and the other was as calm as water. When they met, neither of them spoke anymore, but they didn't look away either.
, Bai Shan didn't even change the angle of his mouth.
Finally, the second brother turned away and said: "My name is Erge and I am the second oldest, so everyone calls me second brother. I look a few years older than my brothers. If you don't mind, you can call me the same as them."
Second brother."
Bai Shan smiled and nodded in agreement, but did not call anyone.
He doesn't deserve to be called second brother.
Ergo glanced at the camp again, stood up and left directly.
Mr. Zhuang did not persuade him to stay, but consoled him: "You don't have to be too anxious. According to me, you might as well go to Liangzhou to look for it. Just go to the Yamen to report the case and ask the Yamen to look for you. Maybe there will be someone there."
information."
Erge sneered in his heart, but his face complied and left with the people.
Nie Canjun stood with them and watched them leave. Then he narrowed his eyes and said, "They did not go towards Liangzhou, but went back."
Mr. Zhuang stroked his beard and asked, "How much do you think they believe our words?"
Bai Shandao: "There is no seven points, there are always five points, right?"
Man Bao then said: "We will still be stationed here tomorrow to contact the tribes behind us and spread the word. Someone caught the wind and fell ill last night, so we will stay here for a few more days."
Nie Canjun immediately said: "Tomorrow I will send someone to collect firewood and survey the area."
Manbao nodded.
Mr. Zhuang sighed and said, "I hope Governor Duan can hurry up and arrive before noon tomorrow. My old arms and legs are not good enough for horse racing."
Man Bao comforted him, "Sir, you can go with us to visit that tribe tomorrow. Then you and Yin may stay there and we will come back."
Mr. Zhuang asked, "Why do people take risks to take us in?"
Man Bao said proudly: "We have money!"
Bai Shan nodded: "Yes, didn't Governor Duan say that life has been very difficult for everyone in the past two years? They should be short of money."
Mr. Zhuang couldn't help laughing, "Don't you worry about money now?"
Man Bao said sweetly: "Oh, how is money worth mentioning compared to sir?"
This was not the first time Mr. Zhuang heard Man Bao's sweet words, but he couldn't help laughing when he heard it again. He nodded happily and said, "Okay, I will go with you tomorrow."
And Erge and others who were far away from the camp slowly stopped, then turned their horses and looked back.
After a long time, a horseman came from a distance and reported: "Second brother, no one is chasing you, but the scout followed you from a distance and took a look. If you are sure that you are far away, you will go back and report."
"Second brother, Fifteen and the others should not be there. We just took a closer look and there are only a few tents."
"Who knows if they are hiding in those tents?"
Erge suddenly remembered the confused young man they saw when they entered, shook his head and said: "Probably not here. If I guessed correctly, the leader of this team is not Mr. Zhuang, but the one sitting next to him.
Girl."
"A woman is in charge? Is she a relative of the emperor?"
"What royal family? Don't you remember that Lao Liu came back from Liangzhou City and said that there was a female imperial doctor in Liangzhou City?"
