[Comprehensive martial arts] Cannon fodder woman

After solving the troubles of Shopkeeper Li's family, the group continued on their way.Because of the delay in the small town, they speeded up a little this time, and by noon, they had traveled dozens of miles.

Everyone rested by the river for a while, and then took out the dry food that the proprietress had prepared for them before leaving, and ate it with water.

"Brother Joe."

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone else gathered together in twos and threes, Murong Fu walked slowly to Qiao Feng who was standing alone by the river, "Seeing brother Qiao frowning, he seems to have something on his mind, but he is still worried about what happened just now ?”

"Brother Murong has sharp eyes."

Qiao Feng hesitated for a moment, but still spoke truthfully:

"Forget it... It's just that the common people are heavily taxed and oppressed by the bullies in the township. Qiao feels that their lives are difficult."

Murong Fu smiled:

"That bully oppresses people with his status, and what he said reveals that he has a deep background, and he can do whatever he wants in this town. Shopkeeper Li also said that he has the support of an official..."

He paused for a moment, seeing that Qiao Feng's attention was aroused, he continued:

"Being an official is dishonest, being rich is not benevolent, Brother Qiao, have you ever thought about it, if it wasn't for the imperial court's protection and collusion with these people, how could the common people be oppressed so far?"

Murong Fu opened the folding fan and shook it twice, glanced at Qiao Feng, and said casually:

"I heard that the beggar gang has been active in the northern border, and is committed to attacking the Liao people and protecting the Song people. Brother Qiao is so righteous, and I worship you. It's a pity that the Song court doesn't seem to be very fond of the noble gang. In recent years, the emperor has become more and more faint Incompetent, let the officials under his hands wantonly exploit the common people."

Qiao Feng frowned, and after a long while, he spoke slowly:

"Brother Murong, the prize is too high. The beggars don't ask for anything else, and the resistance to the Liao Dynasty is only for morality. Now that the court is weak, the officials are not loyal to the country, but instead point the finger at the innocent people. It's really hateful. It's just...we are one after all. Grassmen, how can you discuss the emperor's affairs indiscriminately? The imperial court and the rivers and lakes have always been well watered, if they intervene rashly, I am afraid it will bring disaster."

"Brother Joe is right."

Murong Fu agreed, although the two had different ideas, but there was no displeasure on his face, and he still looked like a spring breeze.It happened that Deng Baichuan was looking for him at this time, so he took advantage of the opportunity to bid farewell to Qiao Feng, and left calmly.

On the other side, Lu Xiaoman was picking flowers in the forest with Azhu Abi.

"Sister Ah Zhu!"

She picked up a branch with a vertical stem and dotted lilac flowers in the flower basket, and asked A'Zhu:

"What kind of flower is this?"

"This flower is called Diqian'er, also known as Huoxue Pill. As the name suggests, the flower has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, dispelling blood stasis and promoting blood circulation."

A'Zhu cut off another branch with small scissors, smelled it with the tip of her nose, and then put it into the flower basket Lu Xiaoman was carrying.

"It's fragrant and slightly bitter. It can be taken orally or externally. Let's pick more, and we can make wine for you later."

Lu Xiaoman nodded, turned her gaze, and saw Abi was holding a weed standing aside in a daze, she rolled her eyes, and approached with a smile.

"Sister Abi? Sister Abi? What are you thinking?"

"Huh?" Abi suddenly came back to her senses, then turned her face away in a panic, and shook her head, "No, nothing!"

Lu Xiaoman and A'Zhu looked at each other, and they surrounded her one after the other.

"Abi, if you have something on your mind, you might as well tell us about it."

A'Zhu spoke calmly.

"That's right, does Miss Abi have any secrets that she wants to keep from us?"

Lu Xiaoman also booed.

"you……"

Abi looked left and right, stomped her feet in embarrassment and indignation, and couldn't say anything to Azhu, so she had to vent her anger at Lu Xiaoman:

"Bad girl! In vain, my sister loves you so much on weekdays, but you are making fun of me here!"

Seeing this, Lu Xiaoman hurried forward to hold her hand affectionately, and said coquettishly:

"Good sister Abi, isn't she also worried about you?"

She glanced at A'Zhu, and said pitifully, "Don't you know, Sister A'Zhu and I have always been on your side."

Abi wasn't really angry at first, so she broke into a smile right away. She bit her lip and hesitated for a while, and her attitude finally relaxed a little.

"I... I was just thinking, what would happen if... Young Master and Chief Qiao brought that Miss Li with me just now..."

"Then we'll have another playmate."

Lu Xiaoman replied with a smile, as if he didn't understand what she meant at all.

"I just don't know if there is still room in the car?"

A'Zhu looked at Abi clearly, and said in a deep voice:

"Abi, you overstepped."

Abi was shocked, her face turned pale:

"I, I know in my heart..."

She muttered twice, and said sadly:

"He is the proud son of heaven, and even a stunning woman like Miss Biao can't completely move his heart. I'm just a humble servant, so what am I?"

A'Zhu sighed, turned around and put the scissors in his hand into the flower basket, and ordered:

"Xiaoman, you put these in the car first, and I will talk to your sister Abi."

"Ok!"

Lu Xiaoman nodded, looked at Abi worriedly, then trotted away with the flower basket in hand.

A'Zhu looked at her lively back, and smiled unconsciously:

"This girl, you still don't understand anything."

"It's good not to know," Abi followed suit, feeling more and more depressed in her heart, "It's hard to understand."

Lu Xiaoman left the sight of the two, then slowly slowed down his pace, looked at the scissors in the basket and smiled slightly.She wasn't very interested in the relationship between Abi and Murong Fu, but if it was Azhu...

Lu Xiaoman was thinking, her eyes glanced over her fingers inadvertently, and found some flower stem juice on her fingertips, she thought that there was a river not far ahead, so she just kept walking, pushed aside the grass and walked over there.

"Huh, Master Joe?"

Unexpectedly, Qiao Feng was also by the river, Lu Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly stepped forward with a smile, "What a coincidence, I thought no one was here at this time."

"Miss Lu."

Qiao Feng smiled, without telling her that he had heard her footsteps a long time ago, he looked at the flower basket in her hand, and asked, "What is this?"

"Exactly, help me get it!"

Lu Xiaoman stuffed the flower basket into Qiao Feng's hands, and then ran to the river to wash her hands. While washing, she turned her back to Qiao Feng and replied,

"I picked the flowers together with Sister Azhu and Sister Abi."

Speaking of this, she thought of Abi's question, suddenly became curious, stood up and looked at Qiao Feng with a smile.

"Hero Qiao, if you are traveling alone this time without any brothers from the beggar gang, will you accept the entrustment of your daughter by Shopkeeper Li?"

"This……"

Qiao Feng was taken aback for a moment, and his pretty eyebrows frowned instantly.

Lu Xiaoman walked towards him with his hands behind his back, blinked playfully, and said in an exaggerated tone:

"Oh, that Miss Li is good-looking and good at taking care of others. The family runs an inn, and her cooking skills are definitely not bad. It will be beneficial but not harmful. Isn't Qiao Daxia not tempted?"

"Where did it go..."

Qiao Feng was at a loss for words, "I was thinking, in that case, we have to stay and solve all the hidden dangers. If we bring Miss Li, but cause her parents to be sought for revenge, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?"

He paused, and seeing Lu Xiaoman's suspicious expression, he laughed angrily again.

"You, why do you have so many weird ideas in your little head, I'm a big man, don't I have any unreasonable thoughts about other girls?"

"It's impossible to say."

Lu Xiaoman rolled his eyes with a smile, deliberately annoyed him, "People say that you should start a family first and then start a business. Even if Qiao Daxia is the leader of the Beggar Gang, you still have to marry a wife and have children, right?"

Qiao Feng couldn't explain it to her, and he felt depressed, so he simply waved his hand and rubbed her head twice indiscriminately.

"How dare you talk nonsense, girl!"

"ah!"

Lu Xiaoman screamed and jumped two steps away like a frightened rabbit. She covered her head with one hand, her black eyes widened as if she couldn't believe it, and her soft hair was messed up. As funny as possible.

"You...you actually!"

She was angry and surprised at the same time, as if she didn't believe that Qiao Feng would do such a thing at all. Being on guard, he snatched back the flower basket in his hand, stepped on him intentionally when retreating, then snorted heavily, and quickly slipped away.

Qiao Feng watched her guilty back go away, looked down at the palm that seemed to still have warmth, and shook his head involuntarily.

He didn't know what happened to him just now... I hope he doesn't scare the little girl.

"Damn it, it's obvious that you used to be flattered and molested in the past, but now you have learned to fight back. Murong Fu must have led you to ruin it!"

Lu Xiaoman muttered resentfully, the more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became, and she happened to walk to the side of the carriage. The horses of Qiao Feng, Murong Fu and others were all tied to the nearby trees. She paused, looked around, and saw No one was there, so he sneaked up to Qiao Feng's horse.

"Humph."

Lu Xiaoman took out a flower, and stuffed the root into the gap between the reins of the horse's neck to fix it, because the flower's root was stiff and straight, and it stood up easily. From a distance, it looked like a flower was planted right away.

"We'll see how people laugh at you later."

She clapped her hands and gave a mischievous smile.

"What are you doing?"

There was a sudden voice behind her, Lu Xiaoman shook her hands and almost cried out, she turned around abruptly, and was relieved to see that it was Murong Fu who came.

"Scared me……"

She stroked her chest and whispered, then hurriedly carried the flower basket on her back behind her back.

"Eh? No, nothing..."

Lu Xiaoman's eyes wandered, and it took him a long time to come up with an excuse:

"Ah, that's right! Because of the whole morning's journey, Sister Abi was worried that the young master's horse would not be able to bear it, so let me take a look... Yes, that's it..."

As she spoke, she looked away guiltily, thinking that this was an indirect assist to Abi, but she didn't know if Murong Fu would believe it...

Murong Fu glanced at her lightly, without any special expression on his face, he just tapped the horse tied two trees away with his fan, and said slowly:

"My horse is over there."

"is it?"

Lu Xiaoman pretended to be enlightened and said, "So I made a mistake, hehe..."

She smiled embarrassingly with a stiff face, while silently moving back, "Then, then I'll go first..."

Murong Fu watched as she tripped over a tree branch twice, climbed into the carriage clumsily, and then turned to look at Qiao Feng's horse.

After seeing the scene in front of him clearly, he paused the movements of his hands, and then straightened the crooked cashmere as if nothing had happened, and suddenly chuckled as if he thought of something interesting.
