Regarding why Munda wanted to kidnap the people of Dongyue, Murong Mian was puzzled, he had the same idea as the prince, since he was kidnapped, he would not be killed, if he did not kill, what did Munda want so many people of Dongyue to do? Could it be that like Nanyuan, because of the lack of population, people were taken captive from Dongyue? Munda and Nanyuan are two completely different countries, Nanyuan is full of mountains and forests, and the products are extremely rich, but the people are not prosperous. However, Munda has a vast territory, many steppes and Gobi, barren land, but dense population, so this idea does not hold.

If Munda only robbed food and money, he could understand that he would rob people after robbing food, and he really wanted to break his head and didn't come up with a reason. He had planned to lead his army to besiege the city and force Munda to release him, but the more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and he always felt that Munda was planning some kind of conspiracy, and the top priority was to solve this mystery.

For this reason, he called Cao Tianming and several generals and deputy staff generals over to discuss and ask them what they thought.

General Chen said, "Your Majesty, Munda kidnapped the people probably to provoke me to East Vietnam. ”

The Emperor said, "If it is a provocation, why not simply kill it, but take it away?" ”

Cao Tianming thought for a while, "Your Majesty, Meng Da kidnapped the people, could it be that he captured them to do labor and build huge projects?" ”

The emperor nodded, "If you are doing labor, you should catch young and middle-aged people, why do you even take women and children together?" ”

The emperor's words made everyone fall into deep thought, neither kill nor do labor, what do you do to arrest people?

Deputy General Bao cleared his throat, "No matter what they are arresting the people for, there must be a purpose." ”

Bai Qianfan glanced at him obliquely, "Aren't they discussing their purpose now?" ”

Deputy Counselor Bao was stunned, but he didn't dare to speak, although the position was the same, but it was the emperor's favorite minister, he couldn't afford to offend, so he only touched his nose and said nothing.

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

Bai Qianfan frowned with thick black eyebrows, looking a little funny, "Your Majesty, is it really the Munda army that kidnapped my people from Dongyue?" ”

Hearing her say this, everyone showed strange expressions, the north is next to Munda, who else can there be if it is not Munda?

The emperor looked at her with interest, "Why did Deputy Staff General Qian ask like this?" First, this incident happened on the border between Munda and Dongyue, and second, the attire of Munda army and the garrison were all recognized, how could it be mistaken? ”

"What if someone pretends to be the Munda army?" Bai Qianfan said, "Does the person who wears Mengda's costume have to be Mengda?" ”

"Even if it's not the Munda people, then why did they kidnap my people from Dongyue?"

"Because ......," Bai Qianfan squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, "they are as underpopulated as Nanyuan, and they need to take some people from neighboring countries to serve as their people. ”

After Bai Qianfan finished speaking, the emperor laughed first, "Deputy General Qian's idea is really ingenious, are you talking about a story?" ”

The emperor took the lead in laughing, and the others naturally laughed too, and Deputy General Bao, who was scolded by Bai Qianfan, didn't keep his mouth shut for a while, and said, "Deputy General Qian, don't you have a brain, where are there other countries around here besides Mengda?" ”

The emperor frowned, "Who do you say has no brains?" ”

Deputy General Bao's heart jumped, and he felt two cold eyes shot at him, sharp as a knife, he had a cold sweat on his back, and he hurriedly confessed, "It's a minister who has no brains." But I thought in my heart: This favorite minister is really very important in the emperor's heart, and he can't allow others to say that he is not, and the emperor's reputation of loving his wife is only fake.

There was a village not far from the place where he camped that day, and Murong Mian felt sorry for his daughter-in-law and suffered with him all the way, and wanted her to go to the farmer's house to take a hot bath to relieve the fatigue of the past few days. He took off his soft armor, changed into regular clothes, and Bai Qianfan pretended to be a passing businessman, and brought two guards to pretend to be entourage, Ning 13 disagreed, the emperor and queen traveled, how to do it with only two guards, in case something went wrong, Lord Ning had to use him as firewood. But the emperor refused to bring more people, for fear of frightening the peasants, and if they did not let them into the house, wouldn't it be a bad thing? In the end, there was no way, and the remaining three guards turned into secret guards and protected themselves from afar, which was a proper solution to the problem of escorting.

The village is not big, the houses are all boxy, very different from the farmhouses on the outskirts of Lin'an, the walls are yellow, the roof is covered with black tiles, and the eaves do not even have flying corners, which looks very smooth.

Murong Mian deliberately chose a family that looked more solid, because there were two pieces of bacon hanging under the eaves, and the conditions would be better for those who could afford to eat meat.

Seeing that the door was open, Ning Shisan probed at the door and asked in a loud voice, "Is there anyone?" ”

When a young woman saw them, she screamed as if she had seen a ghost, and hurriedly closed the door, Ning Shisan frowned, raised her hand to knock on the door, and was stopped by Bai Qianfan, "You stand back, I'll come." ”

She raised her hand and knocked lightly on the door: "Don't be afraid, fellow, we are passing businessmen who want to enter the house to beg for water." ”

No one answered, the room was quiet, as if no one was there, but no movement could escape the ears of the three masters outside, they knew that there were people in the room, and there was more than one, some were lying on the crack of the door, some were hiding by the window and peeking at them.

Murong Mian didn't bring many people, he was afraid of scaring these farmers, but the four men still scared the family, he glanced at Ning 13 and Ning 19, these two were taught by Ning Jiu, not to mention anything else, just that cold look was enough to make people retreat.

He coughed and ordered the two guards, "Don't scare people with your face, laugh." ”

Ning 13 and Ning 19 glanced at each other, pulled their lips, and showed a stiff smile, which was even more terrifying with cold eyes, and Murong Mian was a little helpless, "Yes, this smile, the fellow will not open the door." ”

Bai Qianfan regained her original voice, as clear as spring water, seeping into the ears of the people in the room little by little, "Fellow, open the door, don't be afraid, we are good people." ”

The people in the house were suspicious, and looked at the crack in the door for a long time, and saw that she was handsome, and her eyebrows and eyes were crooked when she smiled, and she was much kinder than the three, and the woman asked through the door, "Are you really a passing merchant?" ”

"yes, we're all good people."

Then the woman asked, "Listen to your voice, how ......?"

Bai Qianfan pointed his hand back, "I came out with my husband, it's easier to pretend to be a man." ”

Hearing her say this, the woman relieved herself and opened the door, but when she saw the two Ning guards, her heart beat again, and the two straight pestles were there, and their expressionless faces did not look like merchants at all.

Bai Qianfan hurriedly explained, "They are entourage, they don't like to talk or laugh, you are so forgiving." ”

The woman sighed and hurriedly invited them in to sit down.
