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 if she took two steps.

As Tian Xiaogang said, with the token, they easily exited the small side door.

Just a few steps away, 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 robbing something in 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, and they were deadlocked for a long time without taking the thing off.

"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 are disobedient, 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 any longer, 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 others can't tell that they are women at all.

Seeing that his attitude was good, Murong Lingran's expression softened, and he asked in doubt, "What were you doing just now? How can I see that you are bullying children?"

Seeing that the soldier had let go of him, the boy 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 boy stopped talking immediately.

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 out his finger and pointed at the child's arms, and said sternly, "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 the bag filled with rice?"

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."
