Chapter 425 3, Still Listen to the Chapter
Huo Yuanruo stuffed the bun in his hand into his mouth, clapped his hands, then put his hands on his hips and looked at Jian Qi, "What are you doing here?"
He knew that this person was the younger brother of Brother Long Yi, but his temper was much worse than that of Brother Long Yi. Especially this stinky face, as if someone owed him money.
Jian Qi pointed at Li Mulan who was watching the show on the side and said, "Protect her."
"Who is she?" Uncle Zhang's stern voice came, and then he walked out from the back door and came to Li Mulan.
Jian Qi met Uncle Zhang's serious eyes, pursed his lips and said, "Master."
Li Xiaoqi crossed his arms over his chest, looking like a rogue, "The master has us, he doesn't need your protection."
Jian Qi didn't say anything, but looked at Li Mulan with burning eyes, as if waiting for her answer.
Li Mulan didn't look at him either, but turned to Zhang Yi, "Uncle Zhang, I'll leave the matters in Kyoto to you and Little Grasshopper. Please also take care of my parents. They might just think that I went to the border to find Chu Chenfeng, so don't let them slip."
When her parents find out from her grandfather that she is going to the border, they will definitely be anxious, and the first person they will probably look for is Zhang Yi.
"Master, rest assured. I will handle it properly. You should also be careful on this trip." He then glanced at Jian Qi and said, "Let him follow. Jian Qi is quite skilled. Let him give you a hand."
Li Mulan raised her eyebrows. "Of course, I can, but seeing how he is, I'm afraid he won't obey and cause trouble for me."
Jian Qi was anxious. "I will definitely follow the master's arrangements and will never act on my own. Please take me to Northern Qi."
Jian Qi has been following Zhang Yi these days. He admires Zhang Yi. He is puzzled that such a powerful person is willing to submit to Li Mulan.
Even if Li Mulan had Lingxiao Palace behind her, this person must be extraordinary to make Zhang Yi willingly follow her. Although, he couldn't see it at all now.
But no matter what, my elder brother is in Northern Qi now, so he will definitely go there. If he is obedient, it won't be a big problem.
Huo Yuanruo didn't like the way he looked at his junior master. He was obviously not that respectful, but he still pretended to be so. Humph, if it wasn't for Brother Long Yi, he would have beaten him to a pulp.
Li Mulan stroked her chin, "It's not impossible to follow."
Jian Qi took two steps forward, his expression filled with joy, "Thank you, Master."
"Hey? Don't thank me so quickly. I have a request."
Jian Qi bowed to Li Mulan and said, "Master, please tell me. Jian Qi can definitely do it."
Li Mulan raised three fingers, "Three requests."
Jian Qi straightened his back and looked serious.
"One, be obedient."
"Second, be obedient."
"Three, just be obedient."
Huo Yuanruo and Li Xiaoqi looked at each other and burst out laughing.
Li Mulan glared at the two of them, then looked at Jian Qi, "Don't think I'm kidding you. I'm always easy to talk to, but the prerequisite is that you really listen to me."
Jian Qi pursed his lips and said nothing.
"I never keep disobedient people around me. I hope you remember this. If you make the mistake once, I will never keep you around again. Do you understand?"
Jian Qi's eyes flickered slightly, and he finally responded, "I understand."
Li Mulan didn't know whether he really understood or just pretended to understand, and she didn't bother to argue with him. She looked at Huo Yuanruo and Li Xiaoqi, "Okay, stop eating, and let's go."
Huo Yuanruo stuffed the bun he had just taken out into his mouth, then wrapped the bundle tightly, "Okay."
The four of them jumped on their horses, glanced at Uncle Zhang and Xing Si, and galloped away.
It was still early, and even in Kyoto, there were not many people. Fortunately, the city gates were open, and Li Mulan was able to pass through unhindered with the token of the Prince Regent's Palace.
A Ferghana horse can travel a thousand miles a day. If they work a little harder, they should be able to arrive in a few days.

Xueling Town, abandoned mine.
Yingyi and his team have already figured out this area, and it is not a big problem to accommodate several thousand people. But the weather may be a bit cold.
But he believed in the ability of his own prince and would not let the people wait too long.
Especially in these large and small mines, the elderly, the weak, women and children can go in first, at least there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain. It should be no problem for the young to endure it outside.
"Boss, there are a few people coming over."
Ying nodded, "Bring it here."
"Yes."
Soon, five men of medium build were brought in front of Yingyi.
Several people seemed a little scared and cowered in front of Yingyi.
In fact, these yamen runners were quite brave, otherwise they wouldn't be in such a situation and still be willing to secretly protect and help the people. But in front of Ying Yi, they seemed a little...weak. There was no way, the momentum of the black armored army was too strong.
"What are your names?"
A man who looked the oldest was the first to salute Ying Yi, "Greetings, sir. I am Tian Qi, a government official in Xueling Town."
"I am a villain, Wang Wu." "I am a villain, Zhang Liang." "I am a villain, Du Mu." "I am a villain, Shen Hao."
"I've met my lord."
Ying nodded, "County Magistrate Fang has already told you roughly what happened."
Several people looked at each other and nodded.
"You guys are great. Even in this situation, you still remember to protect the people. The prince will definitely reward you."
Several people looked a little excited.
"Thank you...thank you sir, thank you prince. We...are just doing what we should do, and don't...need any reward."
Tian Qi was the first to express his opinion, and several people behind him also expressed their unwillingness to receive any reward.
Looking at their expressions, he knew they were not lying. On the contrary, Ying Yi looked at them with a higher regard, thinking that they were honest people.
"Let's not talk about whether to reward or not. The most important thing now is how to transfer the people here safely. The prince's army will arrive in two days at most. When the two sides fight, there will inevitably be casualties. Therefore, the people must be transferred as soon as possible to reduce casualties."
Tian Qi cupped his hands and said, "Sir, we understand what you said. However, if so many people were to disappear, it would immediately attract the attention of the Simons, right?"
"I have brought more than a thousand people with me, who can disguise themselves as civilians."
Tian Qi looked at them and only saw a dozen people. He guessed that the others were hiding in the dark.
"But among the people, there are men, women, young and old, and you..."
"We have considered this, but it is also an unavoidable problem. Once discovered, we can only hold out until the army comes to support us. Fortunately, the prince and his men will arrive soon. By the time the Western Meng people realize it, they may not care about this side anymore."
Tian Qi gritted his teeth and said, "If the Simons are really targeting us, then we will fight. The men in Xueling Town are not vegetarians. The worst that can happen is death. When the time comes, I will ask them to bring all the guys from their homes with them."
