Bu Yin made a sound, and then asked casually: "You have been cultivating human form for so long, and you have never gone out?"
Lu Ying hummed softly: "I, I think it's pretty good here."
Bu Yin listened and chuckled: "You are a timid boy."
Lu Ying was made to bow her head shyly by his somewhat teasing tone. Bu Yin looked at her reaction and smiled even more.
Bu Yin: "You should go outside and take a look. It's a lot of fun and a very different world outside."
Lu Ying asked curiously: "Aren't there many bad people?"
Bu Yin smiled, "Of course not, it's very good."
Lu Ying smiled and whispered: "The boss and the boss's wife said the same thing, but they were forced here."
"oh?"
Lu Ying said: "The boss's wife told me that she and the boss were in a lawsuit because they were bullied by others, and they were sued first by other evil people. Although the truth was later found out and the evil person's family was cleared,
He also made things difficult for them. Later, the boss sold his house and shop and came here."
Bu Yin understood: "So that's it."
Lu Ying added: "The cook was scarred when he came here. He said he was a member of the Jianghu and was hunted down by his enemies."
Bu Yin: "As a person in the world of martial arts, it is normal to have a few enemies."
Lu Ying said: "But he is a good person, he is very good, the boss and the wife took him in, and he stayed."
"So that's it." Bu Yin smiled, "You little deer are really cute and tight."
Lu Ying was praised, but didn't understand why, so she just raised her eyes and looked at him. Bu Yin smiled and drank without saying anything.
At this moment, the boss and his wife also came back. They brought back a lot of things every time they came back. Lu Ying got up and asked the cook to help move the things.
"Hey, are you here?" The landlady has a kind face and pretty features. She is a capable woman, and her speaking voice also gives people a refreshing feeling.
Bu Yin stood up: "Let me help you."
"Hey, no, no, please sit down quickly. There's no point in letting the guests do the work."
The boss said: "Yes, yes, just sit down and eat your food."
Some of the things I went out to buy were food and clothing, mostly food and the like. Sometimes the proprietress would buy some rouge and gouache, and she would also buy some clothes for Lu Ying and Mu Jin.
After a few people worked for a while and finished moving things, they sat down to drink tea for a while and chatted a few words from time to time.
Bu Yin asked: "What do you call them?"
The boss smiled: "Ah, my name is Zhang Mo. Just call my wife Du Niang."
Bu Yin nodded: "Boss Zhang."
"I haven't asked yet, what's your last name, little brother?"
"Excuse me. My surname is Bai. Just call me Bailin."
Zhang Mo read his name and smiled: "What a good name. I wonder what this little brother does? How did he come to such a remote place?"
Bu Yin smiled: "I was just walking around, but I got lost for a while and stumbled here by mistake."
Du Niang heard this and said: "This place is quite remote. It seems that my little brother's identity is not simple either."
Bu Yin smiled: "Hey, it's just ordinary people who say something simple or not."
Lu Ying was a little nervous, she didn't want them to focus too much on Bu Yin's identity.
"Brother Zhang, Du Niang, you guys are back today. You seem very happy to see you."
Du Niang didn't notice the instability in her tone, she just smiled and said, "You little girl, you have a very delicate heart."
Mu Jin: "What happened? Did you pick up the money?"
Du Niang smiled: "I didn't pick up the money, but I heard the news that Prince Yu is back."
Lu Ying was curious: "But that Prince Li Chengyu who is as famous as General Mu?"
Zhang Mo nodded: "Yes, that's him. We have been losing battles in the past year. Now that Prince Yu is back, the situation has definitely changed."
Who in Mu Lin doesn't know the reputation of General Zhenguo and Prince Yu?
Bu Yin: "General Mu from the Prime Minister's Mansion is also a great man. He is brave and good at fighting. With him here, I really can't figure out how it is possible that Mu Lin has fallen into such a disadvantage this year?"
Du Niang's eyes lit up. They lived in such a remote and lonely place, and they heard some news later than others. They were the last to know anything.
Du Niang smiled and talked about it with gusto: "Brother Bai doesn't know something. There are rumors that after Prince Yu left, the Holy Admiral's military power was temporarily handed over to the Marquis of Bei'an for safekeeping. The Marquis of Bei'an and his son have been there since the expedition.
General Mu was suppressed at every turn. General Mu never listened to his orders. Even if he agreed on the surface, some tricks were made behind his back. Over time, General Mu became angry and simply ignored them and let them go.
, which is why we are now in this situation.”
Bu Yin suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's it! No wonder, this General Mu is a great general who governs the country and has made countless military exploits. It turns out that these things happened during this period."
Du Niang said: "General Mu is also a little angry, but in the final analysis, we can't blame him."
Mu Sirong, like Li Chengyu, was an important person in the minds of the people. Therefore, few people complained about these things. Most of them were blamed on the father and son of Bei'an Hou.
Lu Ying was listening to them with curiosity on her face. She didn't know anything. She only listened to what others said.
Bu Yin asked for a guest room. He said he would stay here for a few days. When he went upstairs, he said with a smile that the food and wine here were really expensive, even as good as those at Muxiang Tower in the capital.
Du Niang said: "This place is very remote. It's extremely troublesome to buy groceries. Besides, there's only one inn within ten miles, so things are naturally expensive. However, depending on how well you can chat with us, we can get a discount."
She would not tell this person that the price of their food and wine was determined based on the appearance, clothing, and wealth of the guests. Obviously, fortune tellers were among the expensive ones.
Lu Ying was a little dissatisfied today: "Mother Du, is your price too high?"
Du Niang laughed and said, "What? You're embarrassed to ask for a price when you see someone looks good?"
Lu Ying blushed and retorted: "No!"
Du Niang tapped Lu Ying's forehead: "You little girl, could it be that you have a crush on this person? Even if you have a crush on him, let's deal with him first."
After saying that, Du Niang walked away carrying her money bag with a smile on her face.
Li Chengyu and Mu Sirong were on the boat looking at the beautiful scenery, while Hua Ling and Shen Miaomiao were on another boat.
Li Chengyu: "There must be someone secretly supporting Jia Lai."
Mu Sirong nodded: "Well, I have also thought of this. A mere melee, whose strength is far inferior to that of Beihen, started a war so easily."
Li Chengyu: "Who is the person behind this? Do you think it could be Liman?"
Mu Sirong thought for a moment and said, "Probably not. Liman probably can't give them such confidence."
Mu Sirong added: "But to be honest, the person who is allied with Jia Lai must be a ruthless character. The deployment, defense and attack of Bei'an Hou and his son this year are actually not too bad strictly speaking."
Li Chengyu said: "Well, indeed, although I was not at the scene at the time and don't know what the situation was like, the capabilities of Bei'an Hou and his son can be said. Although there is some indifference between public and private, there are also some tactics in tactics, not If nothing is accomplished, nothing will be accomplished.”
In fact, each other knows this very well.
Mu Sirong: "No matter what, now is not the time to worry about these things. By the way, did you read the strategic maps I gave you that day?"
Li Chengyu nodded: "I saw..."
Hua Ling and Shen Miaomiao were watching them quietly from the other boat.
Shen Miaomiao: "The way they look serious is really attractive."
Hua Ling held her chin and nodded, yes, yes, she also thinks it looks good, she really likes the prince!
"Flower spirit."
"Um?"
Shen Miaomiao turned to look at her: "This time they go on an expedition, are you going to go with them?"
Hua Ling nodded: "Yes, the prince agreed."
Shen Miaomiao shook her head helplessly: "Hua Ling, do you know that the battlefield is no child's play. If you follow, the prince may be distracted."
Hua Ling turned to look at her and had to say that Hua Ling had never thought about this problem.
Hua Ling just thought that if the prince left her side, she would miss him very much, and she didn't like this just thinking about it.
It was the first time for Hua Ling to hear what Shen Miaomiao told her. Li Chengyu had never told her this before.
Flower Spirit Shen Miaomiao said, murmuring: "I have never thought about these things, I have never known them."
Shen Miaomiao sighed, but helplessly patted Hua Ling's shoulder, and said softly: "It's okay, it's too late for you to go back and think about some things by yourself."
Hua Ling looked at Shen Miaomiao: "Sister Shen."
"Um?"
Hua Ling tilted her head: "I heard from the prince that they often went on expeditions in the past few years. So, how did you come here when General Mu was away? Don't you miss him?"
Shen Miaomiao smiled: "I think so, of course I do."
She often copied scriptures to pray for Mu Sirong, Li Chengyu and other soldiers.
As a woman with weak martial arts skills, she could not do anything but pray for them.
Shen Miaomiao used to not believe in these things, but later, when Mu Sirong went to the army, she began to do them naturally. Over the years, maybe it was because she believed it, or maybe it was a kind of spiritual comfort.
What can we do? Over the years, she has been really serious about what she does.
Hua Ling suddenly felt sorry for Shen Miaomiao. She was such a gentle and virtuous woman, treating everything with a gentle attitude.
Such a good woman, for so many years, day after day, time and time again, without knowing the return date, has been waiting for the person she has longed for without any complaints. It must be very hard to wait, right?
