Young Master Qingzi's study is like he was in his previous life.

Xue Qing smiled and said, "Brother Xiaokang, I no longer study."

Young Master Qingzi no longer needs to study, nor does he have to be a peddler anymore. Kang Nian put down the shoulder pole, and the dazzling snow faded away. He saw clearly that the girl standing in front of him had a strange face and had never seen it before.

This is what she really looks like.

"Brother Xiaokang can't recognize me?" Xue Qing said.

Kang Nian shook his head: "Mr. Du brought you out and was so thin that he was just hiding in Sister Ge's arms, and I didn't even see you clearly." He smiled again, "Later, you were in Sister Ge's hands every day."

Xue Qing also smiled and said, "Brother Xiaokang, are you waiting for me here? Or are you good brother Xiaokang, you found me here."

It seemed like a relaxed greeting, but the meaning expressed was no longer the same as before. Now the Five Worm Army was waiting for her not to protect her, but to capture her, just like being ordered to intercept her in front of the palace gate.

Kang Nian smiled bitterly.

Xue Qing said again, "How about this, we will treat it as if no one has seen anyone?" He reached out and gestured left and right, "I'll go here, you go there."

Kang Nian laughed and then laughed loudly, as if he hadn't laughed for a long time, and this smile was a little uncontrollable.

"Young Master Qingzi, you are really. If you really fight, we are not your opponent." He said.

Xue Qing said: "It's the New Year."

Kang Nian smiled again, smiled and waved his hand again, saying, "Young Master Qingzi, you misunderstood. We are not here to capture you. We are no longer the Five Pest Army."

Alas? What does it mean to be the Five Pest Army? Xue Qing was surprised.

"What happened to you?" she asked, "is it because of me?"

It was at this time that her first thought was whether she had implicated them. Kang Nian rubbed her hands and face: "No, it was not implicated. The reward given to us is very good, but I don't want to do it anymore."

"At that time, I was outside and I was waiting for the orders to see if there was anything in the city to help."

"Then Lord Tu came and told us that there was nothing to do and asked us to help."

He smiled with his lips at the corner of his mouth when he spoke.

"The adults arranged well, and everyone knew what we did."

That day, Song Ying walked out in the court and showed that he was the real Baozhang Emperor. Chen Sheng explained to Du that they had saved the wrong person at the beginning. At the same time, Chen Sheng and others knew everything that Du and others did, and many of them were arranged on purpose. At that time, Kang Nian led the Five Pest Army outside the city to wait outside the city for danger and needed, Du went to tell Kang Nian what happened.

Later, she never saw Kaori and the others again, until the escape and blockade in front of the city gate...

.Xue Qing was silent for a moment and knew what he meant. What they had done for ten years did sound like a joke.

"Mr. Du is an official. He obeys the orders and arrangements of the court. I'll forget it. The court removed me from my military status ten years ago. Master Du said that if he didn't want to do it, he would follow me and I left." Kang Nian said, pointing at the men around him when he thought of something, "I haven't introduced you to Master Qingzi yet."

Xue Qing looked at the men and Kang Nian greeted him.

"Put down everything and put it away. You guys are just juggling in front of Young Master Qingzi."

"This is what I told you about Xue Qing. Don't look at this little girl. She killed five black armored guards alone and left and right arm."

Listening to Kang Nian's introduction, the men looked surprised and restrained. They wanted to see Xue Qing but were embarrassed. Xue Qing looked at them generously. These men were seventeen or eighteen years old, and the older one was forty years old, and they were both tall, short, fat and thin.

"Young Master Qingzi, these are the villagers in the base area." Kang Nian said.

Puff! Xue Qing looked at Kang Nian in shock.

What's the thing?

......

......

The snow-covered wilderness cannot tell where the road is and where the fields are, but the people walking on it are as fast as they fly, Xue Qing relies on perception, and Kang Nian and others are familiar with it.

"It's right in front." Kang Nian said, pointing at him.

The sunlight shines brightly and the snow is undulating, blocking the view. The two young men walking in front suddenly speed up their pace, crossing the ridge, and then making a few strange screams, and a layer of snow mist sways under the sunlight.

Xue Qing followed and saw the two young men sliding down the slope, rolling down halfway and making a laugh.

Xue Qing also smiled and looked at the houses in the flat ground ahead. At this time, firecrackers and smoke were curling.

"Is this a real village or a fake?" she couldn't help asking.

Kang Nian stood on the Liangpo and looked, "It's half true and half false. There is indeed a village here. There are not many people, so we pretend to be married to a daughter, marry relatives and friends and gradually stay here." As he said that, he reached out to point further away, "Not only this village, but the nearby villages are almost the same. Now, there are about a thousand old people and new people."

Huh...there are quite a lot of people.

Kang Nian also walked and half-slided on the hillside.

"As you said, we built a base, we opened land and farmed, were self-sufficient, and rested. We didn't have to run around and escape and were chased, and the number of people became more and more."

"When I first chose this place, Lord Du thought that it was not far from Chang'an Mansion, and it would be convenient for everyone when you have something to do."

Xue Qing glanced at the men in front and behind her and whispered: "Do you know what you are doing?"

Kang Nian raised his foot and kicked a piece of snow away and said, "Of course I know, Lord Du said, "We don't hide it from everyone. Who do we do, what we follow us to do, and what we want to do, we all said it clearly in advance." He laughed, "This is all left by carefully selected choices, and everyone is proud of it. He was so excited when he heard that Emperor Baozhang Guichao Qin Tan confessed his guilt..." He smiled and his face was frozen, and his expression was awkward.

"So, don't you know what's going on in the capital yet?" Xue Qing asked, looking at the men behind him again.

Kang Nian looked at the village getting closer and closer, and there were two young people there, wearing snow to meet the people who were sweeping the snow at the entrance of the village.

"How do you say it?" he lowered his head, "can't say it."

.....

.....

"It's a joke that Baozhang Emperor doesn't need us to protect him at all? Those adults don't need us to help."

"We are just pieces of meat, used as bait."

The sound of footsteps sounded outside, interrupting Kang Nian's conversation. The thick curtain was lifted up, and an old woman walked in with a large thick bowl.

"Come on, come on, little girl, have a bite of soup Nuannuan." She said enthusiastically.

Xue Qing hurriedly got off the kang sitting cross-legged and thanked him, took it with both hands and held it in his arms and said, "I'm really going to be frozen."

The old woman said, "Who knew it suddenly snowed so heavily." She pinched Xue Qing's sleeve again, "You wear so little."

Xue Qing held the bowl and drank it in one breath, wiped his mouth and handed the empty bowl to the old woman.

"Warm your body first, I'll make delicious food for you." The old woman took the bowl with a smile and looked at Kang Nian again, "Xiao Nian, have you not yet walked to Mr. Li's house?"

Kang Nian said huh: "I met officers and soldiers and black armored guards halfway through the way. The news spread when the government investigated. Mr. Li won't mind. My aunt, you don't have to worry, we'll go tomorrow."

The old woman recited the Buddha and said, "Yes, if you have an injury to pay New Year's greetings, Mr. Li is the most auspicious person, and you will definitely feel bad luck. It's better to go slowly." She smiled at Xue Qing and waved her hand to sit, "You talk." She turned around and went out.

I was chatting like all the village women, but when she came in from Xue Qing, she never asked Xue Qing about her origin, just as if Xue Qing had been living here all the time.

"Girl?" Xue Qing looked at Kang Nian.

Kang Nian smiled and said, "I recognize you as a kid."

Xue Qing also smiled and muttered that my cousin has countless numbers...

What does it mean? Kang Nian was puzzled, and Xue Qing had already sat back on the kang and then asked, "Are you really going out to pay New Year's greetings just now?"

Kang Nian said: "Yes, most of the land in this village belongs to Mr. Li's house in the town. Mr. Li is also a kind person. He just likes to be petty. We go to pay New Year's greetings to save trouble." He smiled again and again, "And after getting along well, he can also work as a short-term worker at Mr. Li's house, and the town can develop many people." He was proud and furious, but the next moment he became dim.

That was the plan I used to plan, but it is no longer necessary now.

"We met the black armored guards and officers and soldiers on the way." Kang Nian continued, "We don't know who to help. The group of officers and soldiers shouted to hand over the traitor Xue Qing, and the group of black armored guards shouted to protect Xue Qing."

Speaking of this, I laughed at myself.

"Although I haven't told them who Xue Qing is, I often mention your name. Everyone knows that you are our companion. When I heard the court pursued the rebel thief Xue Qing, everyone asked what was going on. My companion was a rebel thief. Did everyone become a rebel? I can only explain to them that it was the arrangement of the adults above."

"So you just hid aside and watched," Xue Qing said, "I thought you were ambushing and waiting for the oriole behind."

Kang Nian held up the tea ceremony: "We are considered birds! Who needs us behind!" He stopped even more words with a drink.

Xue Qing said: "If you don't have the final say, it's not someone else." He said, "Where are Lord Du and my mother?"

Kang Nian said: "Mr. Du has disbanded the Five Pest Army. He doesn't care about the matter here. The court has made other arrangements for him. He let us scatter and we have no contact. Your mother, Miaomiao probably went to open a black shop again. There is no need to worry about the blacksmith Qishu." He said, laughing at himself, "I can't starve to death."

Xue Qing nodded without saying a word.

There was silence inside, and the sound of people walking and laughing in the village came outside, and firecrackers kept ringing, and the sound of food was heard as the wind tilted the door curtains and came in.

"Young Master Qingzi." Kang Nian suddenly said, as if he had made up some decision, "Are you really not the Emperor Baozhang?"

Xue Qing looked at him, the girl's face was calm and said, "Brother Xiaokang, you shouldn't ask me this."

Who should I ask? Kang Nian is puzzled.

"Ask you." Xue Qing said, "It was the Emperor Baozhang whom you rescued. I have lost my memory. Only you can answer this question in this world."

Kang Nian looked at her hand hanging down on her side and clenched them. Are they?

"What are we..." he murmured.

Compared with the adults in the court...

Xue Qing looked at the door curtain and said, "Those who have killed the enemy and bleed, of course they are considered warriors."

Warrior? Isn’t it a waste? Kang Nian laughed at himself, thinking that he was crucial, but who thought it would be useless at all and that it was unnecessary to exist.

"How can it be unnecessary? You are indispensable." Xue Qing said.

Kang Nian said: "We originally wanted to protect Emperor Baozhang. Now Emperor Baozhang does not need us to protect him anymore. What's the use of us..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xue Qing.

"Brother Xiaokang, what did you say? Who said that Emperor Baozhang doesn't need your protection?"

Uh? Kang Nian looked at Xue Qing.
Chapter completed!
