Chapter 291： Acacia

The first snowfall of this winter only fell that night, and then three times in a row, not long after that, only half a night, but when the sky cleared up, on the flat ground where no one had stepped on it, there was a lot of snow. Half a foot tall, I stepped on it with one foot and covered my calf, naturally wearing boots.

In this case, Mu Yangling naturally couldn't go out, so she would go to the rabbit shed for a walk every day, otherwise she would stay at home and read books, which was extremely leisurely.

So she didn't expect to meet Qin Butcher under such circumstances.

Butcher Qin came to find Mu Yangling on purpose. He was wearing cotton-padded clothes and his shoes were all wet. Mu Yangling looked at him in astonishment, and his first reaction was, "Aren't you here?"

The second reaction was, "What's wrong with those mutton?" So the bitter master came to the door.

Qin Butcher saw her face sinking, so he hurriedly explained: "No, the sheep are very good, I came to Miss Mu to do business with you."

Mu Yangling breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's go back and talk about it."

Mu Yangling invited people home, hurriedly asked Xiuhong to fetch the brazier, and went to her mother to ask for a set of her father's clothes for Qin Butcher to put on.

Qin butcher visited the Mu family. Although he saw the end from the beginning, he knew that the life of the Mu family was going well. No wonder Mu Yangling had the courage to sell so many sheep to Hanzhong Mansion.

"Uncle Qin came alone?"

Qin Butcher shook his head, "There is a friend with him. He is in the inn in the city. I just came to look for it with the attitude of trying it out. I didn't expect to find you here."

Mu Yangling smiled slightly, Qin butcher felt that this business was too big, so he cautiously asked Mu Yangling for directions, knowing that she lived here.

"Uncle Qin, what business do you want me to do?"

Butcher Qin put down the teacup, leaned forward slightly, and said, "You may not know, girl, not long after you left, the price of mutton went up again, but what we get from the buyer is more expensive, and now we can't make a pound of mutton. to eight pennies."

"so?"

"So I discussed with my friend and borrowed money from the bank to buy sheep in Hanzhong Prefecture," Qin Butcher said with a sigh, "But now Xingzhou Prefecture is under martial law in Hanzhong Prefecture, unless you want a road guide and a guide with the yamen's seal, Otherwise, you can't get in."

Mu Yangling frowned suspiciously, the previous investigation in Hanzhong Mansion was not so strict.

"Miss Mu also knows that in order to find the yamen, in addition to spending money, you also need to find the right acquaintances. My friend and I only found out about this when we went to Xingzhou Prefecture. We are not familiar with each other here. Personally, I spent nearly twenty taels of silver, but I didn't even see the shadow of Tiaoyin, and we didn't want to go there for nothing, so I came to you to try, and see if there is any way to help us, or It's you who know where there are grassland sheep."

Mu Yangling couldn't give him an answer all at once, and said, "I'll help you ask."

Qin Butcher didn't expect Mu Yangling to be so cheerful, so he threw his hands at her with a big laugh, "Then I'm here to thank Miss Mu. If it happens, my friends and I will definitely thank you, but I don't know when I'll get the letter."

Mu Yangling didn't know whether Qi Haoran was in the military camp or not, and she hadn't seen him show up recently, so she said, "In three days, I'll try my best, where can I find you when I get the news?"

"I live in the Ping'an Inn in Mingshui County, as long as the girl goes there, she can find me."

Mu Yangling nodded, and after sending the person away, he changed into clean clothes and went to the camp. The soldier at the gate saw Mu Yangling and asked someone to notify the little general, while stopping Mu Yangling from letting her in, "Our little one. The general said, he doesn't want to see you now, if the girl insists on seeing you, don't be embarrassed..." You can enter from a place other than the gate...

But before the last sentence was finished, Mu Yangling turned around and left. The soldier opened his mouth wide and stared blankly at Mu Yangling's way back.

Mu Yangling frowned slightly, what happened to Qi Haoran?

The little general and Miss Mu liked to play the game of offense and defense. The soldiers stared at her closely to see if Miss Mu was going to climb the wall and go in. Just as he was going to see which direction she was going to turn, he asked his comrades to block her in which direction. Who knew that Mu Yangling went back straight like this.

The soldier opened his mouth wide, until Mu Yangling's back disappeared at the end of the road, and then he knew that he seemed to have caused a big disaster, and quickly asked someone to guard the door for him, and flew to report the letter.

Qi Haoran was sitting on the Taishi chair with a serious face. As soon as there was movement at the door, he snorted coldly and said, "You still know how to come?"

"Report to the little general, the little one has something to report."

Qi Haoran then realized that he had identified the wrong person, and his face flushed. Fortunately, he was the only one in the room, so the embarrassment on his face flashed, and he shouted unhappily, "Come in."

Qi Haoran glared at the soldier and said angrily, "You better have something urgent, or run five laps around the camp for me."

The    soldier had a bitter look on his face and hesitantly said, "Little General, Miss Mu is gone."

Qi Haoran was taken aback for a moment, "Going? In which direction? Where is she going to get in?"

"Miss Mu went in the direction of Chenggutun." The soldier looked carefully at Qi Haoran's face and said, "I see that Miss Mu seems sad, she doesn't say a word, her eyes are red when she hears that the little general can't talk about her. Now, turn around and leave, your back is okay, but," the soldier thought for a long time and found a suitable word, "it's lonely."

Qi Haoran opened his mouth wide, then jumped up and shouted, "What did you tell her? Didn't you just stop her a little?"

"I only stopped for a while. Before I finished speaking, Miss Mu ran away sadly, little general, hurry up and chase him back."

Qi Haoran got up and grabbed his cloak and ran out, riding a horse and chasing after him.

The soldiers behind Qi Haoran wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads, begging the Buddha to bless the little general to chase Miss Mu back, otherwise their life will only be more difficult in the future.

At this time, Mu Yangling walked out of the surveillance line of the tower in the camp area. She picked up the nearby withered grass and branches and made a camouflage and put it on her body. Now her eyes are white, and the outside is full of snow. If you want to get close to the camp, you can only make a good camouflage. , I hope I can get through it, now Qi Haoran's soldiers are getting harder and harder to fool.

Mu Yangling walked into the snow, leaned over and quietly approached the camp.

Mu Yangling thought that Qi Haoran wanted her to try his defense. After all, when he wanted her to try before, he had the guards stop her from letting her in. Although what he said this time was a bit strange, Mu Yangling said He consciously didn't misunderstand, but who knew that he heard the sound of horses' hooves after walking more than twenty steps forward. Mu Yangling secretly looked up and saw Qi Haoran galloping away on a horse.

Mu Yangling didn't care about being exposed, and suddenly stood up and waved: "Qi Haoran!"

"Yu——" Qi Haoran restrained his horse, suddenly turned his head to look at Mu Yangling, and saw that the person who had been worried for the past few days was showing a bright smile at him.

Qi Haoran only felt sour and sweet in his heart. He blinked, suppressing his emotions, and asked angrily, "Where are you doing?"

Mu Yangling tilted her head, did she misunderstand?

"Didn't you ask me to test your defense?" Mu Yangling pointed to the camp and asked.

Qi Haoran was so angry that he fell back, "You only came to me for half a month, just to test my defense?"
