When Wang Ye picked up the future brain master

It has been more than ten days since the group saw the Monan people that day, they have already passed Xining, and there is still about a month's journey before arriving in Beidu.

A few days ago, Mu Yao accidentally saw Guan Hao sending a guard out, and he probably went back to Xiangling to find out the details.

He also didn't ask Ye Qianqiu about Guan Hao's identity.

He has been in the army for many years, and he has heard a little about the affairs of the court.

When the current saint Ye Hong was 17 years old, he led the iron cavalry left to him by the former emperor and entered Beidu. The emperor at that time was the eldest prince Ye Rong, because it was rumored that the other princes were killed by Ye Rong before he took the throne.So when Ye Hong forced the palace, Ye Rong was completely unprepared. It is said that it took less than two hours that day, and Ye was killed by Ye Hong, his seventh brother.

Ye Hong ascended the throne smoothly, and after ascending the throne, he resorted to ruthless means. First, he cleaned up the ministers of Ye Rong's faction who were left behind in the court, and even the ministers who held a neutral attitude were replaced one after another. Those who have made achievements should return to their hometowns, those who committed crimes should be ransacked, and then the imperial examinations will be held in advance to recruit sages, divide the people's land, and punish corrupt officials. Xiang Xiang bowed down piously, thanking the emperor for his kindness.

The current imperial court can be described as clear and bright, and there has never been such a grand scene in any history.

But someone just wanted to cause trouble.

General Zhennan was besieged by the menacing barbarian wolf king. He was outnumbered and brutally killed.

Then the Monan barbarians broke through the border all the way, stationed there, and from time to time went to the nearby towns to burn, kill and loot, doing all kinds of evil.

The emperor was furious, and even sent several capable generals to suppress it. I don't know what tricks the barbarians used, but none of these generals survived.

At this time, the position of good general in the court was vacant, and the barbarians in Monan seemed to only want to take advantage of Beichen's side, but everyone knew that if the barbarians were not eliminated, there would be disasters.

Mu Yao carried Ye Qianqiu out of the carriage, Mu Ai pushed the wheelchair away, Mu Yao put Ye Qianqiu on the wheelchair, and pushed him to the side of the newly lit fire, where several guards were heating dry food.

Ye Qianqiu took the small bag of pine nut candies that Mu Yao handed him, and glanced at Guan Hao who was not far ahead. Guan Hao was feeding the horses with fodder. At this time, he also turned his head and followed Mu Ai's figure.

Mu Ai was pouring water for Ye Qianqiu, as if he felt something, he lowered his head and took a pine nut candy from Ye Qianqiu's hand to eat.

Everyone planned to rest here before going on the road.

"Here." A piece of pastry was handed to Mu Ai, it was a piece of peach blossom cake, dotted with pink peach blossoms.

Mu Ai looked up at the smiling Guan Hao, blushing and said, "Thank you, Brother Guan Hao."

Mu Yao frowned and glanced at Mu Ai and Guan Hao. He had already felt that the atmosphere between the two was not right. In Guan Hao's status as the son of the prime minister's mansion, how sad would it be if Mu Ai got too involved in the drama and couldn't get out at that time?

"Brother Mu, do you know martial arts?" Guan Hao suddenly said with great interest, "Let's compete for a while?"

Mu Yao paused: "Yes." He glanced at Mu Ai, and Mu Ai immediately went to the carriage to get something.

Ye Qianqiu also leaned over to look, this is a short knife, the handle is made of fine iron, engraved with a sentence: Looking forward to your return.

"There should be a next sentence, right?"

Ye Qianqiu patted Mu Yao on the shoulder.

Mu Yao's eyes were a little dark: "...Ai my wife, Xu Youwu will return." His father didn't come home all the year round, and once he sent a family letter back, and there was such a poem in it. This poem was engraved on the dagger left by his father to Mu Yao.

This knife is famous, I think.

Guan Hao waved his hands again and again: "Brother Mu, don't use a knife! I don't know how to use weapons!"

"Then, as a prince, do you still dare to come out alone?" The few people have gotten to know each other quite well after traveling together for the past few days.But Mu Yao could feel that Guan Hao was still hiding something from them.

But it's nothing, and he has no intention of paying attention to other people's affairs.

Guan Hao said solemnly: "I didn't come out alone! Look!" He pointed to the back, where a dozen or twenty guards were eating lunch.

Mu Ai laughed, Guan Hao smiled and patted her head.

Mu Yao sighed, put away the dagger, and was about to put it back on the carriage when Ye Qianqiu reached out to him: "Give it to me."

Mu Yao thought for a while, and put it on his lap.

Guan Hao and Mu Yao came to a small slope beside them.

Guan Hao put on a posture, he did look like a Lianjiazi, but compared with Mu Yao, his momentum was still slightly inferior.

Mu Yao didn't do anything, just stood opposite Guan Hao with his left hand behind his back and looked at him. Mu Yao stretched out his right hand and made an inviting gesture to Guan Hao.

Guan Hao threw a fist and flew towards him, Mu Yao didn't dodge, but wrapped a flower around Guan Hao's fist with his right hand that hadn't been withdrawn, and cleverly pinched his wrist with his index finger and middle finger, lightly Pressing down lightly, Guan Hao felt an indescribable soreness from his arms to his whole body. Before he could react, he lay down at Mu Yao's feet in embarrassment.

He froze for a moment, trying to get up, but he couldn't pull himself up all of a sudden. Seeing this, Mu Ai hurried over to help him up with Mu Yao.

"Hey, Brother Mu, what kind of move are you doing? Oh, it hurts me!" Guan Hao wailed and rubbed his wrist, not knowing which acupuncture point Mu Yao had pinched or what, so he was sore It hurt for a while, but now there is no discomfort.

Mu Yao sat on the grass next to Ye Qianqiu's wheelchair. It hasn't snowed in the past few days, and it may be because he left the cold environment in Monan.He took the pancake Ye Qianqiu handed him, and took a bite: "This is what my father taught me, and it is specially used to deal with impulsive and arrogant people."

Guan Hao compared his thumbs to him, and also sat down: "Brother Mu, teach me!"

Mu Ai interjected: "My father said that all the martial arts of our Mu family will not be passed on to outsiders."

"Then according to what you mean, I have to become a wife of your family before I can ask this Mu family's only student?" Guan Hao tilted his head and looked at her with a smile.

Mu Ai blushed and ignored him.

Seeing Mu Yao's frown, Guan Hao immediately put away his playful smile and said sternly, "We still have to walk for a month to get to Beidu, and it will take 20 days to speed up."

Mu Yao didn't raise his head: "Then speed up."

Ye Qianqiu put a piece of pine nut candy in his mouth: "We can do whatever we want, but even though we have already passed Monan, the rebel army is still watching the border. The son should have a mission to go out this far. My guess is right, it should have something to do with Monan. The prince thinks that he has already made a decision."

Guan Hao was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Master Ye really has good eyesight, I admire you."

Mu Ai got up suddenly and patted Mu Yao on the shoulder. Mu Yao looked up at her and nodded.

Mu Ai turned around and walked towards the small woods to the west.

Guan Hao also wanted to follow, but Mu Yao stopped him: "What are you going to do, it's a girl's private matter, what's the use of you going there?"

Guan Hao didn't understand for a moment, Ye Qianqiu blinked at him, Guan Hao felt very embarrassed, touched his nose, sat down and didn't speak.

Ye Qianqiu ate another candy, Mu Yao glared at him, and snatched the candy bag over: "Don't eat so much, do you want teeth?"

Ye Qianqiu put his elbows on the armrest of the wheelchair, smiled and rolled his eyes: "Mu Yao, why do you look like an old lady?"

Guan Hao suddenly said, "Mu Ai is going alone, are you okay?"

Mu Yao shook his head.Mu Ai is a child who doesn't need to worry too much. This place is too remote, so there should be nothing wrong.However, if someone can accompany her, it will still be a lot of reassuring.

The three of you looked at each other and looked at you, looking at each other without saying a word.

There are no women in their team, even Guan Hao, the son of the prime minister's mansion, did not bring out an old lady who cooks as delicately as the children of other aristocratic families.

Ye Qianqiu poked Mu Yao's arm with his finger: "As a brother, why don't you watch by your sister?"

Mu Yao patted his hand away, looked at his smiling face, pinched his cheeks, and walked to the place where Mu Ai had been before.

Before taking two steps, a short exclamation suddenly came from the grove over there.

Guan Hao immediately stood up with a serious expression on his face.

Mu Yao paused for a moment, then quickly swept towards the grove with light work.

Guan Hao was surprised that Mu Yao actually had lightness kung fu, but at the same time he didn't forget that he also learned lightness kung fu from his master, and the two entered the grove one after the other.

The accompanying guards who were taking a rest looked at each other, and four or five people also passed by.

Ye Qianqiu waved to Guan Hao's servant over there: "Bamboo pine."

Mu Yao entered the grove, it was noon at this time, the sun dappled into the leaves, and cast a spot of light on Mu Yao's face.

Guan Hao followed and asked, "Where is the person?"

"It's gone." Mu Yao gritted his teeth.

Guan Hao gritted his teeth, and ordered the guards who came over, "Scatter and look for them."

Several people led the order.

This grove is not too big, so it shouldn't be able to hide people, but it's really strange that such a big living person like Mu Ai disappeared like this.

There was a call of a thrush from the other side of the grove. Mu Yao and Guan Hao looked at each other and went there.

This is an unwritten rule in the guards. In order not to reveal their location, everyone has their own code name, for example, thrush, cuckoo, crow, etc. When encountering a crisis, they will use their own code name as a code Instructions to inform others of their own information.

There is a small river at the end of the grove, and the guards had already scouted this place when they first arrived and planned to use it as a temporary foothold.

The rapid call of the thrush sounded again, and the guard code-named Crow looked up at the tree not far away, and found the source of the thrush's sound as expected.

The guard on the tree pointed to the slope of the small river, Guan Hao stepped lightly, and when he reached the slope, Mu Yao was also looking down beside him, the pupils of both of them dilated angrily.

An old man with a fat head and big ears dressed in noble clothes was struggling to squat down by the river. A woman in pink was struggling in his arms, and the hairpin on her head was dangling and about to fall off.

Guan Hao couldn't control himself, rushed down the slope, and kicked the old man away!

Mu Yao also slid down the slope, and when Mu Ai was about to fall into the water with the old man, he grabbed his sister's sleeve and pulled Mu Ai up to protect him behind him.

The old man fell into the water. The river was not very deep, and it reached the adult man's knees vaguely. The man fell on his face and just choked on a few mouthfuls of water. He staggered up and was caught by Guan Hao who walked around in front of him. The collar, hit the face like a pig's head in a circle!

He turned his head away from the beating, Guan Hao was about to punch him again, he hurriedly shouted: "Don't! Don't hit me! I'm the imperial order! How dare you hit me!"
