Man Bao raised his head and looked at them carefully. When they said this, their faces were a little worried, but their faces were too fierce, otherwise they would definitely be more trustworthy.
Others didn't have much expression on their faces, but Mr. Zhuang had a face of confidence. He was even more worried than the other party. "There are many wolves on the grassland. The children are not old, so they won't be taken away by wolves, right?"
The second brother's eyebrows moved, "No, there are so many cattle and sheep, the sheep are the first to be picked up by wolves."
Mr. Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good, but the grassland is so big and five people are so small, where can you find it?"
The second elder brother lowered his eyes and said: "Patting Huazi to arrest people will definitely make a move, so it is right to go in the direction of the city. Sir, did you come out of Liangzhou City today?"
Mr. Zhuang nodded, "Yes, we left the city early in the morning, and we planned to station further ahead, but I am old and weak, and I can't stand the bumps, and the children are also naughty, running around all the way, so I left Be slow, or we won't meet together tonight."
Mr. Zhuang sighed, "This is really fate."
All the thieves: ... would have been more fateful. If they didn't have something to do tonight, they might invite someone to the mountain to visit tomorrow.
The second elder brother also nodded, and then asked: "The lord came all the way from Liangzhou, did you meet any suspicious people on the way?"
He said: "As you know, our tribe lost five children..."
Mr. Zhuang sighed and shook his head, "I 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 any suspicious people pass by, even if we don't Pay attention, and they'll notice, too."
He looked worried and gave advice for the other party, "Maybe people are not going to Liangzhou? I know this used to be Suzhou, but there are official roads to go to other places?"
The second elder brother was thoughtful, and did not answer this question, but thanked: "Thank you, sir, I will send people to look for it everywhere."
A servant brought up a stack of bowls and a pot of tea, and as soon as it was poured, the rich tea fragrance filled everyone's noses, and Mr. Zhuang invited them to drink tea.
The second elder brother took the bowl and blew it and was about to drink it. He glanced at them and saw that there was only tea on their side, and the person on the other side didn't even have a bowl. drink?"
Mr. Zhuang said with a smile: "Tea refreshes the mind, we don't drink tea after dark, we are used to it."
Man Bao and Bai Shan nodded, indicating that what their husband said was right.
The second brother smiled and said, "Really?"
He looked down at the tea bowl and said, "This tea is too hot."
He put the tea bowl on the grass next to him, and glanced at the others. Seeing this, the others put down the tea bowls one after another. Those who had already drank two sips wished they could pick their necks and spit it out.
The second brother withdrew his gaze and looked at the person opposite.
Mr. Zhuang and the others didn't seem to care at all, and continued to sit without much change in expression.
The second brother thought of something, and turned his gaze to Zhou Man again, "My lord is an official of Honglu Temple, so you are from the capital?"
Mr. Zhuang nodded.
"I've heard people say that there is a little genius doctor or goddess doctor in the capital, who has entered the palace as an official, and is the first female official of the dynasty. I don't know if it is true?"
Mr. Zhuang smiled and nodded, "It's true."
"Not long ago, I heard that a female imperial doctor came to Liangzhou City, and she treated the old lady of the Governor's Mansion. Could it be that little genius doctor came to Liangzhou City?"
Mr. Zhuang just smiled, and Bai Shan said, "Your news from Xiongtai is really well-informed. I don't know where Xiongtai's tribe is stationed now. How long will it take for the news from Liangzhou to reach your tribe? By the way, we have talked for a long time. , don’t know what your brother’s name is?”
Only then did the second brother look at Bai Shan, and Bai Shan also looked up at him. Their eyes met, one was as fierce as a wolf, and the other was as calm as water. When they met, they didn't talk anymore, but they didn't move away either. , Bai Shan didn't even change the angle of the corner of his mouth much.
In the end, the second brother turned his eyes away, and he said: "My name is Erge, and I am the second child, so everyone calls me the second brother. I look a few years older than my brother. If you don't mind, you can call me like them." Second brother."
Bai Shan smiled, nodded in response, but didn't call anyone.
He doesn't deserve to be called Second Brother.
Ergo glanced at the camp again, got up and said goodbye.
Mr. Zhuang did not keep him, but comforted him: "You don't have to worry too much. According to me, you might as well go to Liangzhou to look for it. You just go to the yamen to report the case and let the yamen find it for you. Maybe there will be someone information."
Erge sneered in his heart, but responded on his face, and led the people away.
Nie Canjun stood with them and watched them leave, then narrowed his eyes and said, "They didn't go towards Liangzhou, but went back."
Mr. Zhuang stroked his beard and asked, "Tell me, how much do they believe in our words?"
Bai Shandao: "There is no seven points, there is always five points, right?"
Man Bao said: "Tomorrow we will still be stationed here, and we will go to the tribes behind to get in touch with each other and let the wind out. Someone got sick last night, so we have to stay here for a few more days."
Nie Canjun immediately said: "Tomorrow I will send someone to collect firewood and survey the area."
Man Bao nodded.
Mr. Zhuang sighed: "I hope Duan Cishi will be quicker, and I can arrive before noon tomorrow. I have old arms and legs, and it's not easy to run a horse."
Man Bao comforted him, "Sir, you can go to that tribe with us tomorrow to see, when the time comes, you and Yin will stay there and we will come back."
Mr. Zhuang asked, "Why did they take the risk to take us in?"
Man Bao proudly said: "We have money!"
Bai Shan nodded: "That's right. Didn't Governor Duan say that everyone's life has been difficult in the past two years? They should be short of money."
Mr. Zhuang couldn't help laughing, "Don't feel bad about money now?"
Man Bao said sweetly: "Oh, compared with Mr. Qian, what is worth mentioning?"
It was not the first time for Mr. Zhuang to hear Man Bao's sweet talk, 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 had left the camp all the way also stopped slowly, then turned their horses and looked back.
After a long time, Yiqi came running from a distance and reported: "Second Brother, no one chased you out, but the scouts followed us for a while and checked to make sure that you are far away before going back to report."
"Second brother, Fifteen and the others probably aren't there, we just looked carefully, there are only a few tents."
"Who knows if it's just hidden in those tents?"
Erge suddenly remembered the confused young man they saw when they went in, shook his head and said: "I shouldn't be there, if I guessed correctly, the chief officer of this team is not that Mr. Zhuang, but the one sitting next to him." girl."
"A woman is the chief official? Is she a royal relative?"
"What imperial family, don't you remember that the sixth son came back from Liangzhou City and said that there is a female imperial doctor in Liangzhou City?"
"Is that the little miracle doctor?"
