Poor children

Chapter 181 Everyone in Qilin Village is in a hurry
一
"Girl, girl..." The mistress saw the poor boy coming from the front yard and hurriedly followed him.
"Mistress, what's wrong?" The pauper had something on his mind and seemed a little distracted.

"Why did you forget, girl? Didn't you tell me before that if a homing pigeon came to the yard over there, you should bring it over as soon as possible?" The mistress rolled up her sleeves and saw a white homing pigeon in a big hand.
Pao'er's face was filled with joy when she saw the carrier pigeon, because she knew that this pigeon was taken by Uncle Jin Shun'er when he left. Now that it had flown back, it was natural that there was news about the king. Pao'er hurriedly took the note tied to the pigeon's leg. Next, the content of the letter is probably to say that we are with the king, everything is fine, and we are ready to raise troops, etc.

After reading the letter, the pauper said to the mistress, "Thank you for your hard work. You did a good job..."

Wu'er gave him some more money, and the mistress took the money and returned it.
Pao'er went straight back to his room and was busy at his desk writing down all the things discussed today and putting them in a newly made fur coat. He also asked Wu'er to wrap them up carefully and send them to Zhong'an Hall. Recently, Then a caravan will set off to the Rakshasa Kingdom to do business, so that someone can entrust someone to deliver the letter to Tianxing.

At night, at dinner time, the prince, who had been depressed for several days, came to the second wife for dinner, accompanied by the poor son, as if he felt that his father was in a better mood. Speaking of his status, even if his head can be placed on his neck for a few days, I am afraid it depends on His Majesty's thoughts. How come he looks like a new student, and there seems to be a lot of brilliance on his face

"Now that the house has just suffered a loss, everyone is a little depressed. If you feel overwhelmed, the carriages and horses are all ready-made. You can go out for a walk if you want, and you don't need to discuss it with us..." The prince said to the poor boy.
"Get out... get out..." Pao'er was not just thinking about going out. After all, Tiedan'er mother was still waiting at Qilin Village.
"That's right." The prince finished his last mouthful of rice. "If you're tired in the house, go out for a walk and relax. It's okay. You don't have to follow those rigid rules..."

"Oh...oh..." Paoer responded

But just in response to the prince's words, the pauper took Wu'er and drove a carriage out early the next morning.
They just left here, and Youan went back to the prince over there.

"Do you know where they went?" The prince asked without putting down the book in his hand.

"Back to your lord, I don't know. They drove away by themselves, without even a driver..." You'an answered.

"Oh?" After hearing this, the prince put down the book, and after a while he said, "You should set off now and go to Linqu City..."

Wu'er drove the carriage very fast along the way, and arrived at Qilin Village before dinner. The two heads of the house heard that the poor boy had returned, so they hurriedly came out to welcome the poor boy and sat down in the lobby.

Before the poor man's cloak was untied, he hurriedly asked Zi Tong
When the second master asked, he complained, "That kid has a stubborn temper. My eldest brother went to invite the old man Heming, but he didn't want to show face and refused to go down the mountain. Our eldest lady said, "The teacher is a master, how can we make the teacher condescend?" If she wants to be sincere, she will naturally go up the mountain to sincerely ask the teacher to accept her as a student. I have persuaded her to change her teacher, but our eldest lady has identified this one, and she has to live and die. We can't talk to her about being a student with him, so we can only ask her to go..."

"Zitong went to become a disciple by himself?" Paoer asked

The headmaster nodded, "What this child decides must be done, and his temper is just like mine..."

"Have you asked anyone to follow you?" Paoer asked again.

"Kunlun Nu and Hua Zi are with me," the master replied
"Who is Hanako?" Pao'er didn't know this person before.

"Ah..." the second master said hurriedly, "That day I went down the mountain to see you. When I came back, I saw a little beggar on the roadside. He was about to starve to death. He was wearing rags and was covered in mud. When no one came out, I rescued her. After cleaning her, she turned out to be a little girl. She didn't know her age, but she looked older than Zi Tong, so I asked her to take care of Zi Tong. The little girl Smarter, better than those two old ladies..."

"That's fine. It's just that the Kunlun slaves are rude and Huazi is still young, so there is always something wrong..." Pao'er was worried.
"It's okay. I asked the boy to follow me. I brought a lot of money. If others don't do it right, I will naturally be the most appropriate. Don't worry," the second master said again.

The three of them were talking when they saw Taoist Master Chunqiu walking in hurriedly, "Here comes the pauper..." The Taoist priest came to the pauper in a few steps, grabbed his hand firmly, and his eyes were full of joy. It's all expectations

"Mom, how do you feel living here?" the poor boy asked.

"Okay! The two heads of the house treat me like their own mother, especially these two boys are very filial," the Taoist priest said

The second master was a little embarrassed to be praised by the Taoist priest, and his dark face turned red. "My godmother praised me again. If you really love your son, you should quickly make the decision and handle your son's marriage..."

"M...marriage!?" The Taoist priest didn't understand what he was talking about, but he understood when Wu'er kicked him.

"Mom, don't worry about them. The young couple are flirting," Pao'er said. "When the time is right, we will arrange the marriage of my second brother. Now there are some serious matters that are more urgent than your marriage."

"What's the matter?" asked the second master
"Tomorrow I will ask Wu'er to accompany my mother down the mountain to the northwest. My brother Tiedan'er is currently trapped in Taixu Taoist Temple. I heard that the Turks have relaxed their guard now. Although they are only allowed in but not out, I think as long as It would be great if you can go in, so that you can see Brother Tiedan'er. As for Wu'er, she has to dress up in men's clothing. What I'm afraid of is that someone in the city will recognize her..."

"No!" Before the pauper could finish his words, the second master said, "She can't go, it's dangerous there..."

"But it won't work if she doesn't go," Paoer laughed.

"Why not?"

"Because she is going to organize the sergeants this time to help my king restore the country..."

"What? You want her to go to war? No, no..." The second master shook his head like a rattle.

Wu'er was so angry that he kicked him again, "How can you say no? If I don't go, what should I do if I delay the king's important event? What's wrong with me fighting? Of course I can fight better than you..."

"No, no..." The second master didn't listen to what Wu'er said, he just said no to himself.
The boss couldn't help but laugh out loud, "If you're worried, just go with her. If you think she won't fight well, go and fight for her..."

When the second master heard this, his eyes lit up and he nodded in agreement. However, Wu'er disagreed and thought he was a burden, so he begged the poor boy not to ask him to go.

But Pao'er smiled and said, "I think it's good for the second master to go. Firstly, I'm really worried about putting you in danger. Secondly, if the second master is here, he is a fierce general, and he will naturally go into battle to kill the enemy." It will give you a better chance of winning, and besides, ask him to bring a few more brothers there. The northwest sergeants are scattered all over the place, so having them contact you can also save a lot of effort, right?"

The second master nodded his head when he heard this. Wu'er felt that what the pauper said was indeed reasonable and stopped arguing.

The next morning I saw a group of people riding fast horses galloping towards the northwest...
