There was no dining table, so everyone held a bowl and ate vegetables and noodles together, talking quietly.
Mu Yunhan, Gu Fenglin, Xiao Cai, and Mu Li were sitting together, discussing how to pass the checkpoint tomorrow.
They have now entered Meng Jia's territory, but this is only the first line of defense and their management is not very strict.
The real main force is stationed in the second line of defense. It is not that easy to get past. There must be a way to lead.
Mu Li originally wanted to spend money to get one, but when he inquired about it, he realized that it was not easy to get one.
Mengjia learned a lot of lessons. In order to prevent Qi's spies from sneaking into the country, people who passed the second checkpoint and went deep into the interior must have someone from the village, township, and county as guarantors before they could be issued road guides.
As for the people of the original Zhao State who escaped from the areas occupied by the Qi State, they could only live in the first line of defense for a while until they could find a way out before they could enter the second line of defense.
This method is a bit harsh, but the benefits are obvious.
For example, for people with unknown origins like Mu Yunhan, it is almost impossible to get through except by breaking in privately.
"I heard that General Meng is very popular with the people. All the people in the second line of defense are soldiers. Whenever strangers appear, they will be reported immediately.
This section of the road is a densely populated area, and it is not easy to avoid the eyes and ears. Especially for the madam and the freshmen, it is basically impossible to cross the mountains and ridges."
Mu Li turned the chopsticks made of tree branches over and drew a topographic map on the dirt.
Gu Fenglin said: "It's not that difficult. Pick a place that is not densely populated and take them separately..."
Several people were gesturing there to choose the best path.
Mu Ying was silent and poked the gnocchi in the bowl with her chopsticks. She looked up and saw Zhong Nan sitting in the corner, far away from everyone, so she stood up and sat over: "What are you thinking about?"
Zhong Nan smiled lightly at her and put away his thoughts.
Mu Ying whispered: "Do you regret it? If you regret it, then go back. I understand you."
Zhong Nan shook his head gently: "I have no regrets, I'm just worried about causing trouble to you."
He could tell that although Mu Yunhan and others didn't say anything outrageous, they actually didn't like him.
On the contrary, Mu Ying, who had always been lukewarm towards him before, suddenly became enthusiastic towards him after seeing Mu Yunhan and others, obviously trying to protect him.
Thinking of this, his chaotic mood became a little more joyful and sweet.
Mu Ying said: "I'm okay, but you have to keep a calm mind and work hard to let them know what kind of person you are, so that you can be recognized."
Zhong Nan silently patted the top of her hair, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Mu Yunhan's eyes widen.
He retracted his hand in time, lowered his head, and ate honestly.
Mu Ying saw this and looked at Madam Mu quietly.
Mrs. Mu Er was talking to the medical elder in a low voice, her eyes never leaving her side. When she saw her looking over, she immediately gave her a flattering smile.
Mu Ying made a plan.
My sister and brother-in-law clearly disagreed with this matter, but it was just because of her face that they kept silent for the time being.
If you want your sister and brother-in-law to change their minds, you have to rely on Mrs. Mu Er to mediate.
She stiffened her face and forced a smile with difficulty.
Madam Mu Er's eyes suddenly lit up, and her smile became even brighter: "Xiaoying, do you want more rice? There is still more in the pot."
Mu Ying poked Zhong Nan, and the two of them took the bowls and followed Mrs. Mu to the kitchen.
Mu Yunhan looked away, a smile flashing in his eyes.
