As for why Mengda wanted to abduct the East Vietnamese people, Murong Shu couldn't understand. He thought the same as the prince. Since he abducted the East Vietnamese people, he would not kill them. If he didn't kill them, what would Mengda do with so many East Vietnamese people? Is it the same as Nanyuan, because of the shortage of population, so they abducted people from east Vietnam? Mengda and Nanyuan are two completely different countries. Nanyuan has many mountains and forests, rich products, but few people. Mengda has a vast territory, many grasslands and Gobi, poor land and dense population, so this idea is not tenable.

If Munda only robbed food and money, he could understand that he would rob people even if he robbed food. He really wanted to break his head and didn't come up with a reason. He had planned to lead the army to besiege the city and force Mengda to release people, but along the way, the more he thought about it, the more confused he was. He always felt that Mengda was plotting a plot, and the most urgent thing was to solve the mystery.

To this end, he called Cao Tianming and several vice generals to discuss and ask them what they thought.

Chen Shen said, "emperor, Mengda abducted the common people, probably to provoke me in Dongyue."

The emperor said, "for provocation, why not just kill them, but take them away?"

Cao Tianming thought, "emperor, Mengda has taken away the common people. Will he take them to work and build a huge project?"

The emperor nodded, "if you are a laborer, you should catch young people. Why do you even catch women and children?"

The emperor's words made everyone ponder. They didn't kill or do labor. What would they do if they were arrested?

Deputy general Bao cleared his throat. "No matter what they are trying to catch people for, they must have a purpose."

Bai Qianfan glanced at him and said, "isn't it just about their purpose now?"

Deputy general Bao was attacked, but he didn't dare to speak. Although his position was the same, he was a favorite of the emperor. He couldn't afford to offend him. He just touched his nose and didn't say a word.

The emperor looked at Bai Qianfan, "Vice General Qian, what do you think?"

Bai Qianfan frowned with a thick black eyebrow, looking a little funny, "emperor, is it really the Mengda army that has taken away my Dongyue people?"

Listening to her saying this, everyone showed strange expressions. The north border is next to Mengda. Who else can there be if it's not Mengda?

The emperor looked at her with great interest, "why did Vice General Qian ask like this? First, it happened on the border between Mengda and East Vietnam. Second, the costumes of Mengda's army were recognized by the garrison. How could it be wrong? "

"What if someone pretended to be the Munda army?" Bai Qianfan said, "are those who wear Mengda clothes necessarily Mengda people?"

"Even if they are not Mengda people, why did they take away the people of Dongyue?"

"Because..." Bai Qianfan narrowed his eyes and thought, "like Nanyuan, they are short of population. They need to capture some people from the surrounding countries to serve as their people."

Bai Qianfan said, the first one of the emperor laughed, "Vice General Qian's idea is really ingenious. Are you telling a story?"

The emperor took the lead in laughing, and other people naturally laughed. Deputy general Bao, who was attacked by Bai Qianfan, didn't stop talking for a moment and said, "Deputy General Qian, don't you have a brain? Besides Mengda, where else is there around here?"

The emperor frowned, "who do you say has no brain?"

Bao's deputy general's heart jumped, and he felt two cold eyes shooting at him. He was as sharp as a knife. He was sweating on his back and said, "I have no brain." But he thought to himself: this favorite minister really has a lot of weight in the emperor's heart. I can't tolerate others to say that he's not. I'm afraid the emperor's reputation of loving his wife is false.

-

there is a village not far from where he camped this day. Mo Rongshu loves his daughter-in-law for suffering with him all the way and wants her to take a hot bath in the farmer's house to relieve her fatigue. He took off his soft armor and changed his regular clothes. He and Bai Qianfan disguised themselves as passing merchants and two bodyguards as followers. Ning shisan didn't agree. When the empress went out, how could he take only two bodyguards? If something went wrong, Ning had to chop him as firewood. But the emperor refused to bring more people, for fear of scaring the farmers. If they were not allowed into the house, wouldn't it be a bad thing? Finally, there was no way. The remaining three bodyguards turned into dark guards and didn't show up far away. This was the proper solution to the problem of escort.

The village is not big. The houses are square, which is very different from the farmhouses on the outskirts of Lin'an. The walls are earthy yellow, the roofs are covered with black tiles, and the eaves don't even have flying corners. It looks very flat.

Mo Rongshu specially chose a family that looked more affluent, because there were two pieces of bacon hanging under the eaves. If they could afford meat, the conditions would be better.

Seeing that the door was open, Ning shisan looked at the door and asked, "is there anyone?"

When a young woman saw them, she screamed like a ghost and closed the door in a hurry. Ning shisan frowned and raised her hand to pat the door. She was stopped by Bai Qianfan, "you back up, I'll come."

She raised her hand and knocked gently on the door: "don't be afraid, fellow townsman. We are passing businessmen. We want to come into the house and ask for water."

No one answered. It was very quiet in the room, just like nobody, but any movement could not escape the ears of the three masters outside. They knew that there were people in the room, and there was more than one. Some people were lying at the crack of the door, and others were peeking at them by the window.Mo Rongshu didn't take many people with him. He was afraid of scaring these farmers. But just four men scared the family. He glanced at Ning 13 and Ning 19, both of whom were taught by Ning Jiu. Apart from anything else, the cold eyes alone were enough to make people give up.

With a clear cough, he ordered the two bodyguards, "don't break your face. It's frightening. Let's all smile."

Ning 13 and Ning 19 looked at each other, pulled their lips, and showed a stiff smile. With a cold look in their eyes, they were even more creepy. Mo Rong Shu had no choice but to say, "well, this smile, the villagers won't open the door."

Bai Qianfan restored her original voice, as clear as spring water, gradually seeping into people's ears in the room, "fellow townsman, open the door, don't be afraid, we are good people."

The people in the room were dubious and looked at her through the door for a long time. When they saw her pretty and smiling, she was much more friendly than the three. The woman asked through the door, "are you really a passing businessman?"

"Yes, we are all good people."

The woman asked again, "listen to your voice..."

Bai Qianfan pointed his hand back, "I came out with my husband. It's convenient to dress up as a man on the road."

Listening to her saying, the woman put her heart down and opened the door. But when she saw the two guards Ning, her heart beat again. The two guards were standing there, and their faces were not like businessmen at all.

Bai Qianfan quickly explained, "they are followers. They don't like to talk or laugh. Please forgive me."

The woman asked them to come in and sit down.

Yesterday, it was said to count from 133 votes. Today, after thinking about it, I'd like to count from 130 as an integer. It means that you have voted 3 more votes, which is a step closer to Canada. Now 155 is more than half, and there are still 25 votes left. Come on, Canada is not far away waiting for you. Thank you for voting for the little princess. I love you.
