Yes, in the barracks of the Great Zhou Dynasty, no matter how big or small the officer is, as long as he can control a barracks, he will call himself a general. The one who can command a barracks must also be a general. It is interesting that he does not call himself a general, but instead calls himself the owner of a hunting ground like a businessman.
Mu Yexiao also raised his eyebrows: "Then did you notice that when we came, we didn't even reveal our identities and just walked in. We were also warmly received, which means that people come here often and they are used to it."
The two looked at each other, and before they had time to continue the discussion, they saw a middle-aged man walked in and looked at them with a smile: "Oh, it's really rare for you nobles to go out hunting in such difficult weather."
Mu Yexiao looked at the person in front of him and observed him carefully. He should be a soldier, and there were calluses on his hands from holding a weapon. But maybe this person stared at him but didn't recognize him, so he didn't know him.
That's right. Gu Xiangning probably wouldn't take such a place seriously, so he just sent a small follower here. Looking at the person in front of him, Mu Yexiao decided to reveal his identity: "What's your name? How long have you been in charge of this place? How many people come here to hunt every year?"
The owner of the hunting ground was dumbfounded, and said, "Sir, you are here to hunt, why are you asking so many questions?"
Mu Yexiao raised his eyebrows: "I'm not here to hunt, I need these soldiers on your mountain..."
When Bai Lie heard the word "soldier", his expression changed: "Who are you? How do you know we are soldiers? What is your purpose here? You'd better tell the truth, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave this hunting ground."
This threat was so familiar, and it came out so casually. Mu Yexiao raised his eyebrows and took out his identity token: "I am the Great Zhou's One Word King, Mu Yexiao!"
Bai Lie knelt down immediately after hearing this. He looked at the token in Mu Yexiao's hand and observed it carefully. It was real. But why would the King of Side by Side come to this place? This didn't make sense.
"I greet Prince Bingjian. May you live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years. I greet Princess Bingjian. May you live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
Everyone knows that the King and the Princess are inseparable wherever they go. So if the King is here, then the woman following him must be the Princess. I have to say that Bai Lie is really knowledgeable.
Qian Jiujiu looked at Bai Lie and was silent for a moment. He frowned and said, "Your name is Bai Lie. Are you from the Bai family? Can you control animals?"
Controlling animals? Bai Lie nodded: "I can do it. What instructions does the princess have?"
Qian Jiujiu raised his eyebrows: "I don't have any instructions, I just hope you can send the soldiers here to search the mountain and find someone for me. Make sure to find the person, understand?"
Bai Lie frowned and said, "Princess, we have 3,000 soldiers on this mountain. If we search the mountain, how large an area do we need to cover? Who are we looking for? Do you have a portrait?"
Qian Jiujiu nodded and said, "Go prepare paper and pen, I will draw for you. Also, arrange rooms and accommodation. There will be many guards coming soon, and we need to settle them down. Then, we will have people search the mountain and bring up all the strangers caught during the search."
Hearing this, Bai Lie nodded immediately: "Yes, I will do it right away."
After Bai Lie left, Qian Jiujiu was still frowning. Mu Yexiao was a little surprised: "What's wrong?"
Qian Jiujiu was a little annoyed, and leaned close to Mu Yexiao's ear and said, "I remember we met Bai Lie from the Bai family, but Bai Lie was not like this at that time."
Bai Lie is also a member of the Bai family. Because of the incident in which Bei Bei was taken away and hurt by that stupid woman from the Bai family, Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao have met all the people from the Bai family. Bai Lie is one of the more prominent ones, but after so many years, Qian Jiujiu is a little uncertain.
Hearing this, Mu Yexiao also began to recall. After all, his memory was better than Qian Jiujiu's. Sure enough, if he tried so hard to think about it, Bai Lie was indeed a little different from the Bai Lie in his memory. But so many years have passed, maybe he has changed!
Moreover, this place belongs to Gu Xiangning, so he wouldn't have made a mistake in the identity of the person, or was he replaced by someone else? Thinking of this, Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other, and they were afraid that the soldiers here could not be trusted.
Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu shut up and stopped talking because someone had come in from outside: "My lords, the room has been cleaned up. Please follow me."
At the beginning, they didn't know that these people were masters, so they brought the rooms that ordinary people stayed in. Now they were going to the room that the master should go to, which was also in the most luxurious courtyard of this villa.
"Master, this place has always been cleaned, but no one has ever lived there. Everything inside is newly prepared, please rest assured. The young master's residence is next door, young master, please come in."
Beibei glanced at the leader in front, then looked at Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao: "Dad, Mom, I'm going to check out where I live first. And there's another master coming over later, you need to prepare another yard, just next to us."
When the people below heard this, they naturally agreed: "Please rest assured, young master, there are many courtyards."
After Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao entered the yard, they checked the room. The room was quite luxurious and looked very good. "I didn't expect that the facilities in this desolate mountain are really good."
What could Mu Yexiao say? He could only nod in agreement: "That's true."
While they were talking, Bai Lie had already arrived at the door: "My Lord, Princess, I have prepared paper and pen."
There is naturally a study room in the courtyard. Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao walked out of the room and said, "Send it to the study room."
Entering the study, Qian Jiujiu quickly drew a portrait of Qingyue: "This is Qingyue, take it down and let all the soldiers see it, and then let the soldiers search the mountain. The thieves must be hiding in the mountain."
Bai Lie nodded immediately: "I'll go right away."
Qian Jiujiu watched Bai Lie leave with the portrait, then looked at Mu Yexiao: "Did you notice anything different about him just now? Did he behave unusually after seeing Qingyue's portrait?"
Mu Yexiao shook his head: "No, I couldn't see anything unusual at all. After taking the portrait and seeing the woman's appearance clearly, I took the portrait and asked the people below to look for her."
If this wasn't Bai Lie, then he really had a perfect acting talent. Mu Yexiao frowned: "Why haven't Jiang Hu and Qing Ye arrived yet?"
Qian Jiujiu looked at Mu Yexiao in confusion: "Why are you so anxious to find Qingye all of a sudden? Is there something wrong?"
Mu Yexiao thought, isn't it for you? You know, when I went to find Beibei, it was found that Qian Jiujiu was pregnant. I thought Beibei was safe, but Mu Yexiao was worried about the child in her belly.
"Nothing, I just feel strange, why is Jiang Hu's efficiency so low?"
Beibei at the door suddenly popped up: "Dad, what are you talking about Jiang Hu?"
Mu Yexiao looked at Beibei and asked, "Have you chosen a room?"
Beibei hummed: "The environment in the courtyard is not bad, but it is a bit lonely to be alone in the courtyard, and there are no maids to serve here, so I came here. What happened to Jiang Hu?"
Qian Jiujiu glanced at Bei Bei and said, "You seem to care about Jiang Hu. I noticed that you haven't spoken to Jiang Hu since you came up from downstairs. Did something happen to you?"
Beibei shook his head, looking innocent: "No, nothing happened."
Who would be willing to talk about such a shameful dream? She actually dreamed that she was a princess and had a love affair with the dwarf king of Jiang Hu.
The most important thing is that she just said that, but she never felt that Jiang Hu was unworthy of her. But that dream made her doubt herself a little.
Qian Jiujiu held Bei Bei's hand and said, "Bei Bei, I am your mother. If you have any questions, you can ask me. I am an experienced person and can help you see many things clearly."
Beibei looked at his mother who suddenly became gentle with horror, and couldn't help sniffing: "Mom, are you okay?"
Qian Jiujiu glared at Bei Bei: "We are talking about your business now, what can I have to do with it?"
Beibei breathed a sigh of relief: "You are normal like this. You don't know, you were so gentle just now, which made me think you had bad intentions."
Qian Jiujiu: ...
I was speechless. This child was useless. We couldn't communicate at all. Mu Yexiao stood aside and held back his laughter. After Beibei had been dreaming for a month and was suddenly awakened by Qian Jiujiu's words, Mu Yexiao knew that this child actually cared a lot about his reaction in front of Qian Jiujiu.
"Forget it, I'm just saying that. If you don't know what to do, you can ask me. After all, I know more than you do. Do you understand? Besides, I'm your mother. What bad things can I do to you?"
I was so angry. It was obviously her little cotton-padded jacket when she was a child. How come it suddenly leaked? Qian Jiujiu didn't notice at all that her little cotton-padded jacket had been leaking since she was a child.
"Who knows! By the way, Dad, you haven't told me yet, what were you talking about Jiang Hu just now?"
Mu Yexiao glanced at Beibei and said, "Why hasn't he notified Qingye to come over yet? When Qingye comes, he will stay by your side to protect you. Don't run around anymore."
Qian Jiujiu also nodded: "Yes, don't run around anymore. You see, every time you run around, it's Da Jin who gets hurt. Poor thing, I don't know how long it will take for him to recover this time."
Just at this time, Jiang Hu and Qing Ye followed the servant who had led the way and walked in: "Master, these two said they are your servants. I brought them here."
