Start with planting a tree

Chapter 54 Xiao Ming!

As soon as these words came out, Ning Zai and Ming Rong forgot the awkwardness before, and said seriously.

"What's the problem?"

Meng Heyin walked to the edge of the official road, pointed to the place he had just inspected, and said, "Look, there are footprints all under the grass. And here..."

Meng Heyin walked to another place, "And here, there is such a depression at every step."

The two followed Meng Heyin, and they saw a small crater the size of an inch square where she pointed, but it might not be obvious because it had been soaked in rain.

"The most important thing is that there are ruts in the middle of the road." Meng Heyin said seriously, "They were walking in the rain, thinking that the rain would cover the tracks. Unexpectedly, the rainfall was not enough to cover them completely. Or this place is sparsely populated, and there are no other people except them, so I discovered it."

Ning Zai frowned, thinking deeply.

Ming Rong thought about it for a while, then pursed his lips and said, "The 'they' you mentioned are the officers and soldiers?"

Meng Heyin's eyes were deep: "Maybe it's officers and soldiers, maybe it's another bandit."

As soon as these words came out, Ming Rong didn't feel anything, but Ning Zai's heart skipped a beat.Meng Heyin noticed it, but didn't say anything, and led the way towards the city gate.

Along the way, Ning Zai was a little absent-minded, stepped on the air several times, and almost fell.

Meng Heyin said, "After entering the city, what are you going to do?"

Ning Zai thought that Meng Heyin was asking Mingrong, but did not answer.After waiting for a while without hearing Mingrong's voice, he realized that he was asking himself.

"Hmm... I don't have any plans."

Mingrong raised an eyebrow.

Meng Heyin narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you really planning to kill Xue Jing?"

Her tone was not good, and there was a bit of questioning in it.Ning Zai was a little bit wronged by what he said, so he didn't say a word.

"Before you decide, I have to tell you the truth. Whether you kill Xue Jing or not, they will attack Qiongzhou County in two days."

"What did you say?"

Ning Zai had an unbelievable expression on his face.

Ming Rong didn't know why, maybe he nodded to Ning Zai out of kindness, to prove what Meng Heyin said just now.

"If you really kill Xue Jing, there will be no leader in the county, and it will be even more powerful for them to attack. If you don't kill Xue Jing, anyway, you don't know the exact time of action, and they can still catch you by surprise. This is them The purpose." Meng Heyin continued.

"It really is a despicable villain." Ning Zai said viciously.

Meng Heyin wanted to laugh a little: "Otherwise, shall I make a gentleman's agreement with you? They are bandits!"

Ning Zai had never been ridiculed like this before, and looked up into Meng Heyin's eyes.

"Then what about you, you are obviously the most outstanding lady in Qiongzhou City, why did you go up the mountain to hang out with the bandits?"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Ming Rong suddenly laughed.After receiving an eye knife from Meng Heyin, he closed his mouth wisely and began to admire the texture of the dead trees on the roadside.

"You may have misunderstood it. It's not that I have been treated preferentially, but him." Meng Heyin pointed to Mingrong, and then said calmly, "Besides, we were killed in Huangquan when we were a little careless at that time. excusable."

"Long-sleeved and good at dancing, fly with dogs."

Ning Zai gave a sharp evaluation.

Ming Rong nodded in deep agreement not far away.

Meng Heyin showed a deadly smile: good, good, you guards are all so educated, aren't they?

Before I knew it, I was about to reach the gate of the city, and I could see the outline of the gate from a distance.

Meng Heyin looked around as usual, and found that those traces became less and less as they got closer to the county seat, obviously they had been cleaned up.

In this way, it should be officers and soldiers instead of bandits.

I'm about to enter the city soon, and I don't know if I will be interrogated.Thinking of this, Ning Zai found a place and began to straighten his clothes so that he would look messy and avoid being suspected.

After tidying up, as soon as he came out, he was frightened by the other two.

I saw that the two people suddenly became radiant, Ming Rong didn't know what he had done, his clothes were clean and clean, his whole body was imposing, and he looked like a nobleman.

But Meng Heyin did not know where to find a piece of clothing. The brocade clothes and costumes are also beautiful and moving. Even if there is no pearl hairpin in the bun, the charm of the whole body is like a noble lady.

Ning Zai looked down at the bandit clothes on his body, and suddenly felt a sense of poverty seeping into his bones from the clothes, as if he was in a different world from the pair of Bi people who strayed into the mortal world beside him.

However, Ning Zai reminded: "There may be guards checking the city gate, you are too conspicuous."

Ming Rong said: "No, the more conspicuous we are, the less likely we are to attract suspicion. The more noble and difficult we behave, the less they dare to underestimate them, and the less they dare to embarrass them. In the whole world, rules can only restrain ordinary people .”

Ming Rong seemed to have truly let go, with a haughty expression and all manner of demeanor.

What he said was merciless, as if he had slapped Ning Zai in the face.With a stick in his throat, Ning Zai laughed stiffly and said nothing more.

Meng Heyin came over and patted him on the shoulder silently.

Ning Zai noticed Meng Heyin's sleeves, which were embroidered with exquisite dark patterns, and knew that maybe even with his one-year salary, he could not afford such a dress, and felt disappointed.

"I don't want to wear this either, it's too heavy. He borrowed it from me." Meng Heyin whispered to Ning Zai.

Ning Zai raised his eyebrows.

Meng Heyin gave him an extremely warm smile, like the echo of a bell, constantly crashing into the deepest memory.

"Ahem." Mingrong coughed twice, "The gate of the city is here."

Both Ning Zai and Meng Heyin became alert, and they saw that the city gate was close at hand.

Over there, the city gate was open so that only two people could pass through. There were several rows of refusal horses in front, and dozens of officers and soldiers were guarding the side.At this time, an old man and a child were talking in front of the guards, and the two sides were in a dispute.

Except for the officers and soldiers who were arguing with the old man, everyone else had noticed the three of them, Meng Heyin, and they all clenched their weapons tightly, ready to fight.

Meng Heyin pursed his lips, approached calmly, and asked as he walked, "Are there any colleagues you know among these people?"

Ning Zai shook his head before realizing that Meng Heyin couldn't see, and added: "No."

On the contrary, Ming Rong was the most relaxed person. He moved forward without the slightest hesitation, and the two of them followed suit.

When the three of them walked to the city gate, they heard the old man crying. Meng Heyin looked sideways.

A skinny old man was holding a child about three or four years old and crying loudly: "It's been three days, it's been three days, if he doesn't go to the hospital, he will die!"

The crying and howling over there did not affect the movements here at all. A short officer stepped forward, looked at Mingrong and Meng Heyin, and after politely saluting Mingrong, he said, "Who is here, and why did you enter the city? There is written evidence, can there be family members to support it?"

Ning Zai didn't expect it to be so complicated, and he needed paperwork and family members to support it, just when he thought Mingrong couldn't get it out, he watched Mingrong take out a piece of paper from his sleeve in dumbfounded.

Meng Heyin was also a little puzzled, when did Mingrong act alone?

The guard took the document and saluted, "The document needs to be checked by the officer, wait a moment."

Just when Mingrong turned around and smiled triumphantly at Meng Heyin, there was a painful wail from beside him.

"Xiao Ming! Xiao Ming!"

The three of them looked over and saw that the old man was pushed to the ground by the guards, and the child beside him turned red after the fall and gasped for breath. It seemed that he would die if he couldn't catch his breath.
