Let's follow the king, little master

The wind blew the sand, and the footprints in the desert disappeared after the strong wind blew. On the golden desert, two black figures stopped in the middle of the desert. One of them fell down, and the other child stood on the fallen ground. around people.Under the sun, except for the flying dust, everything seems to have no boundaries.The fallen person never got up, and his body was gradually buried by the sand.

The sound of horseshoes sounded, and several panting horses led a group of camels forward. The leader of the horse team coincided with the figure in the wild sand.I saw a curly-haired child wearing only a thin piece of cloth to cover his lower body. The curly hair reached his waist, but it couldn't cover his white body.

The leader of the horse reined in the rope in front of the man lying on the desert, and looked at the child. The child was staring blankly at the woman lying on the ground, but then raised his head and looked at the man on the horse. The little face was as red as an apple, but those eyes were very terrifying, making the whole face tasteless.

The man on the horse got off the horse, and wanted to walk into the child, but saw the child staring at his horse, following the child's eyes, the man realized it, so he took the water bag from the horse, but He didn't pass it directly to the child, but squatted down, opened the water bag and took a sip himself. The child looked at him and the water droplets gushing from the corner of the mouth of the person in front of him.

"Want to drink?" the man said, and it turned out to be a female voice.

The child raised his head to look at her, but he was not surprised at all. He kept staring at the corner of her mouth and nodded for the wiped water.

"If I give you this water, are you willing to come with me?" The woman asked with her mouth turned up, seeing the child nodded and frowned and said, "Speak, I don't want to bring a dumb back."

"I am willing." The child said without the slightest hesitation.

"Okay." The man said and handed the water bag to the child.

The child took the water bag and didn't drink it in a hurry, but opened the lid and knelt on the ground to give it to the person lying on the ground, but he didn't want the water bag to be snatched away by the woman in front of him.The woman poured the water on the ground directly, and the child looked at the man in front of him in a panic, but the man ignored him, the woman kept the water bag on the ground, without even looking at the child, she turned to drive the horse Lead the large team to leave.

The child looked at the person lying on the ground, then at the water bag that was still empty, blinked his eyes, then turned around and walked towards the team, following behind, step by step, under the sun. Walking forward, even if the footprints will disappear, there will be new footprints. Small footprints seem to be easier to erase.Finally, the child fell to the ground.

The bonfire continued to burn at night, the horses were tied to the trees in the forest, and sentinels were placed around them, and the rest of the people fell asleep in the tents they built.The bonfire was very strong, and the sound of the burning matches continuously reached the ears of the man warming the fire. Although the man was burning his eyes, he was looking at the child lying beside him.

The child's hair was tied up, his closed eyes suddenly moved, and slowly opened, the child looked at the stars in the sky and suddenly stretched out his hand.

"Why, do you want to lie down like this forever?" The woman's voice reached the child's ears.

The child suddenly put down his hands and sat up, looked at the person in front of him, and then looked around. The blanket on his body slipped down and exposed his white chest.

"I, I thought I was dead," said the child.

"You are dead," said the woman. "You are not who you used to be now, do you understand?"

The child nodded, he didn't know whether he understood or not, but he knew that if he didn't understand, he would be abandoned, and he could only obey what he said in order to live.

"Mo Li." The woman said, "From now on, you will be called Mo Li. Mo is your surname. You don't need to write with a pen in your life, so ink characters are useless to you. Li is your name. If you want to come here From this moment on in your life, you will not keep anyone you want to keep. Leaving is your destiny. I chose these two words for you to let you know that there is no need to worry about those who are useless to you or leave you People are sad."

Mo Li looked at the woman in front of him, didn't speak or nod, and then looked at the burning bonfire and the twinkling stars in the sky, he didn't think too much, what he thought was his name, he didn't know Writing, but it seems that I have been given a fate since I heard these two words, a fate that I can't get rid of.

When Mo Li came to Mobei for the first time, he realized how great the woman who brought him back was. She was always dressed in men's clothes, and everyone called her Bei Ye when they greeted her, but no one dared to treat her as a woman .

Ever since he brought Moli back, Lord Bei has been training with Concubine Yan, who was a child at the time, who was found in the Hu tribe, and a few children bought from the Central Plains.

Naturally, the training was not about teaching them how to write and read. Concubine Yan mainly learned the art of fox charm and Gu art, and the other Central Plains children were also divided into categories according to their appearance. Shipping.

Master Bei knew that Mo Li was not a local from the time he was brought here, so he would not be particular about where he came from, but the most important thing is that Mo Li is not only proud of his looks, but also knows how to look at him with tricks. Gradually, he became Master Bei's right-hand man.

Beiye said that he was just a businessman at first, but since the Central Plains was preparing to establish a tea transport road, Mo Li had been with Beiye for five years at that time, and accidentally heard about tea from a Rui Dynasty official who came to Mobei As for the matter of luck, Master Bei's body had already started to weaken at that time, so he handed it over to Mo Li at all times.

So from then on, Mo Li gradually took over all the affairs of Lord Bei, and continued to expand, not to mention the contacts with officials in Mobei, the Hu people also started to communicate with each other because of Concubine Yan, and more importantly Yes, due to the increasing number of Central Plains officials and businessmen coming and going, Moli has gradually become a transfer point for news due to the relationship between brothels and small buildings, so his strength is growing.

At the beginning, Concubine Yan wanted to dedicate it to Prince Mobei, but Prince Mobei was not close to women, so in the end Concubine Yan could only use Gu to make him bedridden, and finally followed King Mobei.

Naturally, although Concubine Yan was trained by Master Bei, she is also a member of the Hu tribe, and she is also loved by the king of the Hu tribe. Therefore, she originally planned to confuse the king of Mobei and make Mobei's economy and national power weak, and then conquer Mobei. He couldn't escape Mo Li's eyes, that's why he killed her, and didn't stop Li Mu from helping Prince Mobei, but of course it wasn't the only reason.

In a small pavilion in the garden of Mobei Royal Palace, the sun crossed the mountains and shone red-yellow beams on Mo Li who was covering his face with his hands on the pavilion. After a while, a servant bent his waist and brought Zheng Guogong to the pavilion. The pavilion retreated alone.

"Master." Mo Li turned around and said with a smile, but there was no hint of humility on his face.

"It looks like the dinner party is about to come, why did you ask me to come?" Zheng Guogong asked with his hands behind his back.

"Of course it's for the dinner party." Mo Li said with a smile.

"The old man guessed correctly." Zheng Guogong suddenly raised his head and laughed a few times and said.

"Oh?" Mo Li looked at the person in front of him and said, "Let me hear how the Duke guessed it?"

"Is the original monk one of yours?" Zheng Guogong said, "I thought about it carefully. If the king and the prince have not woken up, the Hu tribe will definitely take the opportunity to attack. Presumably at this time get rid of Concubine Yan and then It's time for another prince's benefactor."

"Zheng Guogong is right. Getting rid of Concubine Yan is naturally for this reason, so I would like to ask Zheng Guogong to mention the king's announcement during today's dinner." Mo Li still said with a smile.

"Notice?" Zheng Guogong frowned and asked back, as if he was asking himself, and suddenly looked at Mo Li with sharp eyes, "What do you mean? Your Majesty's notice, I knew it was written out of urgency. Could it be that you really think that the king will give half of the country?"

"I don't have to care about this, as long as the Duke agrees when asked for his opinion." Mo Li said.

"What exactly are you going to do?" Zheng Guogong asked Mo Li with a low voice.

"The Duke also knows that this prince cannot be seduced by beauty. Is it possible that the Duke wants to wait for the prince to lose his current power after he takes office? Grandpa won't have a good time either, so why don't we advance together and retreat together."

"Are you threatening the old man?" Zheng Guogong said with a cold snort.

"Of course I don't dare." Mo Li said, "But I believe that the Duke knows how to measure and knows who gave me the current status. It's up to the Duke whether you want to keep it or not. But I naturally You can assure the Duke, as long as you do what I say, you will still enjoy your power in the future, no one will care about you, and you will always be a respectable Duke."

"Hmph." Zheng Guogong glanced at Mo Li, "Even if I agree, even if the king is confused now, I don't think he will be so confused as to give his land to others. I think he would rather kill that monk than give it away. agree."

"I said, as long as Zheng Guogong agrees then it will be fine. Some officials from the Central Plains will also be there tonight. Although the official position is not big, it is enough to spread the news of the king breaking the contract. I don't think the king will take this risk. I'd rather be in a hurry and agree."

Zheng Guogong didn't speak any more, turned around and left the pavilion with a cold snort.Mo Li looked at Zheng Guogong's back with a smile and did not chase after him, because he knew that the person in front of him would definitely do what he said.While Mo Li was making arrangements for this matter, there was another person who was doing the same thing.
