Because Xiao Mo retreated ten feet away, Jitou Mountain regained its tranquility for a few days. Some people went down the mountain to purchase enough food, and the bandits were able to maintain their normal lives for a few more days.
Uncle Wu sighed and sat in the main hall with a sad look on his face.
"Master, even if you defeat Xiao Mo three times and he is willing to withdraw his troops, what will happen if the emperor sends other people here? I think this court is sincerely trying to make things difficult for us?"
Uncle Wu's words made Su Muer fall into deep thought. All of this had a lot to do with her.
Therefore, she felt extremely guilty.
"Uncle Wu, what I have to consider now is how to get these officials to withdraw to the capital and let Jitoushan pass this test. Then think about other things. Tomorrow will be a three-day period. Then I will find two brothers to accompany me down the mountain.
That’s it, the rest of us will recharge our batteries here, and if I lose, my brothers can fight to the death with this official.”
Uncle Wu sighed and nodded helplessly,
"I don't know why the imperial court has always been at odds with Jitou Mountain. Everyone says it was Ye Shihan who did it. I don't believe it. He is not that kind of person. There must be something hidden in this."
Seeing him speaking for Ye Shihan, Su Muer waved her hand to stop him,
"Uncle Wu, go and do your work first. I want to be alone."
Seeing her tired look, Uncle Wu couldn't bear to nag her anymore, nodded and turned around and went out.
Su Muer was sitting in the main hall, looking at the empty hall, and suddenly thought that when Ye Shihan was here, he always liked to walk around in front of and behind her. Now, she felt a little hate for him in her heart.
No matter whether the official mission from the court was related to him or not, he was indifferent to Jitoushan, which was something she couldn't tolerate.
Thinking of this, she closed her eyes tightly and tried her best to remove his shadow from her mind bit by bit. However, the result was a huge disappointment to her. His voice and smile became increasingly clear.
At this time, she suddenly heard an urgent call,
"Mother..."
Su Muer suddenly pricked up her ears and listened carefully. Is this Doudou's voice? But soon, she laughed to herself. She must have missed Doudou too much, and her mind was a little dazed, and she actually thought she heard Doudou's voice.
Just when she raised her hand to rub her forehead in disappointment, Tuanzi's voice came out again,
"Mother."
Su Mu'er felt that this voice was real and she didn't hear it wrongly.
She stood up hurriedly, and as soon as she left the chair, Doudou and Xiaoqian pushed the door open and entered.
"Doudou? Xiaoqian?"
Su Muer's face looked puzzled, but her eyes were full of joy. She suddenly stepped forward quickly and hugged the two children, one big and one small, tightly in her arms. Her voice became even louder,
"You are finally back. Where have you been? I'm so anxious."
Doudou raised his big dark eyes to look at her and murmured softly:
"Mother, I'm sorry. We wanted to go back to the capital, but we took the wrong direction and arrived at Ning'an City, where Guning Kingdom is located. We stayed there for a few days and then came back."
Guning country?
Su Muer looked at them with puzzled eyes,
"Why did you go to Guning Country? Then Guning Country and Eastern Jin Country have been enemies for generations, and wars have occurred more than once. How did you come back after you went there? They didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
As she asked, she looked around the two of them, and she let out a long sigh of relief until she confirmed that they were really fine.
"Mom, let me tell you a secret, Xiaoqian..."
"Do not say."
Xiaoqian suddenly spoke to stop him. She didn't want others to know her so-called identity. She had no intimacy with Guning Country, so she was not sure whether she was from there.
Although she had intermittent memories, she was still unsure.
Doudou glanced at him in surprise, stuck out his tongue, and stopped what he was going to say next.
Su Mu'er couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, "Is there a little secret between you two?"
As she spoke, she raised her hand and pinched each of their little faces.
"You two are really worried about me."
Doudou muttered and looked at her, lowered his head and said softly:
"Mother, I'm sorry. Doudou was too reckless this time. Doudou will never do such stupid things to make mother unhappy in the future."
Seeing this, Xiaoqian also echoed,
"I'm sorry, Boss. Doudou is right. What we did this time was without consideration. This kind of thing will never happen again."
Seeing the two children's vows and their exhaustion, Su Mu'er felt so distressed that she wanted to cry.
She wanted to know what they had experienced along the way, but looking at the dirty clothes on their bodies and the dust on their faces, she gave up the idea. Anyway, there was a lot of time in the future, so it was not too late to ask again when she had time.
.
Thinking of this, she looked at the two of them gently and chuckled,
"Go back to your room and rest first. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Doudou and Xiaoqian were really tired. They quickly said goodbye to Su Muer and went back to their room to rest.
Su Muer felt really sorry for these two children. Although she had not known Xiaoqian for a long time, she regarded her as a relative like Doudou.
On the way back to the room, Doudou whispered in confusion:
"Why don't you let me tell you who you are?"
Xiaoqian pursed her lips, looking helpless.
"The Eastern Jin Kingdom and the Guning Kingdom have been enemies for generations. If I say that I am the princess of the Guning Kingdom, think about the consequences. Even if the boss is a good person, there is no guarantee that everyone on this mountain will keep secrets for me. Therefore, I cannot
adventure."
Doudou suddenly felt that what she said made sense, and it seemed that he had lacked consideration.
"But sooner or later, my mother must know about this."
Xiaoqian pursed her lips and nodded lightly, "I know, I will find a chance to tell her, but I'm not ready yet. When I am ready, I will tell her in person."
She was indeed not ready. She didn't know at all whether she was from the Guning Kingdom. Although the emperor and queen there were very kind to her, and although she had memories of that place, she had a deeper memory of her grandfather and the Eastern Jin Kingdom.
Her memory is deeper, so she doesn't want to admit her identity.
The next morning, Doudou and Xiaoqian didn't get up, and Su Muer didn't let anyone disturb them. She didn't want Doudou to know about her going down the mountain to fight Xiao Mo, otherwise he would be worried. According to his temperament, he had to run down the mountain.
Stop her.
For his safety, she ordered no one to tell Doudou about her descent from the mountain.
She only brought a few young and strong bandits down the mountain. Although Uncle Wu was worried about this, he had to obey her words.
When she came to the bottom of the mountain, Xiao Mo was already waiting for her. His expression looked very cold. Su Muer stepped forward on horseback and looked at him from a distance. She cupped her fists slightly and said:
"General Xiao..."
"Miss Su, you are late."
Su Mu'er raised her eyes and saw him coming alone, her admiration for him in her heart grew even more.
"General Xiao, since you are here, please invite me."
Xiao Mo raised his eyes lightly, his eyes full of desolation.
He raised the long sword in his hand high above his head and looked at her sharply,
"Miss Su, please."
Su Mu'er nodded lightly and looked at him with a chuckle. She took out the long sword in her hand, stepped forward on her horse, and fought with him.
In the shadow of swords and swords, the battle between the two was fierce but friendly. No one wanted to hurt the other, and no one wanted to give in to the other.
After one round, the two were at loggerheads and couldn't tell the winner.
The two of them each took two steps back, and Su Muer said softly:
"General Xiao's skills are even better than yesterday."
Xiao Mo also chuckled at her unequivocally, "Where did Miss Su learn this kung fu? Why was she able to make such rapid progress in such a short period of time? I really admire Xiao."
Su Muer felt unable to answer this question.
She doesn't even know where this skill comes from, so how can she explain it to others? Even if she explains it, no one will believe it.
"General Xiao is so ridiculous. This is just a small plan. It can't compare with General Xiao's general style."
The two of them chatted for a while, then drew their swords again and started fighting.
After all, Xiao Mo has been fighting in sand battles for many years and has experienced hundreds of battles, so his kung fu is certainly not a problem.
Knowing Kung Fu, he clearly had the upper hand.
Just when Su Mu'er was forced to retreat step by step, a figure suddenly appeared, drew his sword directly, and fought with Xiao Mo.
Before Su Muer could react, Xiao Mo took a few steps back vigorously and looked at him with puzzled eyes.
"Ye Shihan?"
When she heard the name, Su Muer's eyes suddenly closed. She looked at his back standing in front of her, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions.
Ye Shihan held a long sword and pointed at Xiao Mo opposite,
"Xiao Mo, you actually attacked a woman, you are really despicable."
Xiao Mo raised his eyebrows and looked at him disdainfully,
"Am I despicable? That's much worse than you. If it weren't for you, would the woman behind you be fighting with me here? I was just following orders, and you are the despicable person."
"You're talking nonsense."
Ye Shihan roared at him and suddenly turned back to look at Su Mu'er behind him,
"Mu'er, I'm sorry, I'm late."
Su Muer frowned and snorted, "Please get out of the way, this is a battle between bandits and officials, it has nothing to do with you."
Seeing her indifference towards him, Ye Shihan's eyes were suddenly full of confusion.
"Mu'er, what's wrong with you? It's my fault that I'm late, but why are you so indifferent to me?"
Seeing his appearance, Su Muer couldn't help but sigh, he really looked like him.
The farewell letter was clearly written by him, and every word on it made her feel like her heart was being twisted.
Now, he actually came to ask her why she was so indifferent to him? Could she still be enthusiastic about him after receiving such a heartless letter from him? It was really ridiculous.
When the three of them were facing each other in a triangle, someone suddenly came to report.
"General, there are many people coming from Guning Country, what should we do?"
Guning country?
Hearing this, Xiao Mo's expression became tense. He glanced at Su Mu'er and Ye Shihan, and said helplessly:
"Since we are both members of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, when the enemy attacks, should we share the same hatred against Kai? Let's deal with the outside world in unison. Let's settle our matters later."
