Chapter 1049 Rice
There were also many soldiers on patrol. She believed that if she hadn't hung the token given by the Marquis of Ning An on the most conspicuous part of her waist, she would have been questioned after just two steps.
As Tian Xiaogang said, with the token, they easily walked out of the small side door.
I just took a few steps when I heard the cry of a child.
Looking at the sound, I saw two soldiers in the distance holding a seven or eight-year-old child, looking like they were grabbing something from their arms.
Although the child was small, he had a lot of strength. He bent over to protect the thing in his arms tightly. The two soldiers didn't seem to dare to use a heavy hand.
"Little brat, take it out quickly."
"I don't take it, it's mine, mine!"
"This is from the military camp. Who said it was yours? If you don't obey me, I will send you to the Marquis of Ning'an."
"I won't listen, you can send it if you want, and I won't take it out even if I die."
"you…"
The soldier seemed to be unable to bear it, and was about to knock him unconscious when a worried voice came from a distance: "Stop."
The two soldiers looked up at the same time, and saw two men running over anxiously, frowning: "Who are you? Why are you here? Are you guys with him? We came just in time, and we happened to take all of you. Take it to Deputy General Zhen."
Murong Lingran reluctantly pointed to the token on his waist, and said lightly: "We are the guests invited by your Marquis, and we don't know this child at all."
When the soldier saw the token, his expression immediately became respectful, he also let go of the child's hand, and said solemnly: "The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, what I said just now is a lot of offense, and I ask the two sons to forgive me. ."
son?
It seems that her men's clothing is still very successful, no one specifically introduces their identities, and no one can tell that they are women at all.
Murong Lingran saw that his attitude was good, and his face softened, and asked in doubt: "What were you doing just now? How do I think you are bullying children?"
When the boy saw that the soldier had released him, he turned around and wanted to run away, but before he could take a step, he was caught by the soldier again.
"You forgive me, I will never come here again, okay?"
"If you return your things, we will naturally spare you."
The child immediately stopped talking.
The soldier who first spoke to Murong Lingran said: "Sir, we are called Xu Jian and Xu Kang respectively. The Marquis has issued a strict order that the soldiers are not allowed to harass the surrounding people, otherwise they will be dealt with by military law, and we will not dare to bully him. ."
"Then what were you doing just now?"
Xu Jian stretched his finger to the child's arms and said solemnly, "It's all because of what's in his arms."
The two followed his fingers and saw that although the child was holding his hands tightly, so that no one could see what was in the cloth bag, there was a lot of white rice scattered under his feet.
Liu Jianian said in surprise: "Rice? Is there rice in the cloth bag?"
Xu Jian nodded: "Yes, it's rice. Since the two of you came out of the small side door, you should have noticed that grain and grass are often brought in on this road. Today, because of a problem with the ox cart that transported grain and grass, it fell when approaching the military camp. Some of the rice came down. The soldiers at the watchtower noticed something was wrong here and reported it. As soon as we came out, the boy had already picked up a big bag. He wanted to run away when he saw us. This is military rations. If our hands are robbed, our heads will be lost."
