Cold Priest VS Ancient Ferocious Beast

After all this time, Mo Zhu was willing to treat Jiang Liuer as a reliable local.

Starting from the post station, Jiang Liuer would tell everyone in advance which streams to cross and which small paths were closer, and everyone would do as he said.

"If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have to prepare anything in advance. Couldn't I just take you with me?" Mo Zhu teased.

"You didn't recognize me earlier. I was just born when you came to Black Sand City."

"Time flies so fast..." Mo Zhu sighed.

"Did you see it? We're there once we enter the city gate." Jiang Liuer said excitedly in the night.

"Yeah. So, did I pick you up or catch you?" Mo Zhu asked.

"Then I'll just consider it as your pick-up..." Jiang Liuer also made a decision.

"clever."

He was stopped at the city gate.

"Luo Qin from the Luo family in Ningsi City."

Xiaowu dismounted and showed Luo Qin's badge to the guard.

"Master Luo, please."

They had all been greeted before, and they were released immediately after seeing the badges.

The deputy general led a group of people to General Qin's tent.

"General Qin." Mo Zhu saluted first.

"Who is this kid?" General Qin saw at a glance that Jiang Liu'er was obviously not from Ningsi City.

"I picked it up on the street. I asked, and it turned out to be from Jifeng City."

"Oh?" General Qin looked at him.

"Where are you from Jifeng City?"

"In the shantytown at the South Gate." Jiang Liuer replied.

"Have you been to the Mountain God Temple at the North Gate?"

"There is no mountain temple at the north gate. The mountain temple is at the east gate."

"What is your name?"

"I don't have a formal name. Since I'm the sixth child, I'll just be called Xiaoliu."

"where is your family?"

"My parents are dead, my eldest brother and third brother are dead..." Jiang Liu'er began to introduce his family while counting on his fingers.

"My second and fourth sisters went to Ningsi City to be child brides. My fifth brother and I depended on each other, but he died a while ago..." Jiang Liuer started crying as she spoke.

"Don't cry, don't cry..." Xiaowu squatted down and wiped Jiang Liuer's tears.

General Qin nodded.

"How can I not understand these things? I picked it up in Jifengcheng. I have inquired about everything I should have. Don't think it looks decent now. It was very dirty when I first encountered it." Mo Zhu spoke.

"The child looks quite pitiful. As for me, it wouldn't make much difference if I had one more person to take care of him, so he followed me." Mo Zhu smiled.

General Qin thought about it and said, "Okay."

"Alright! I know General Qin is reasonable, and I'm not ignorant either. All his expenses will be charged to me, and I will definitely not touch the military."

"Mr. Luo, you're too polite. The military supplies sent by the Luo Mansion don't need this child."

"I've troubled you with my visit this time. I brought so many people with me. They were sent by the Luo Mansion as a show of support for General Qin. I brought them here, so I'll take care of them myself. Don't be polite. The Luo Mansion doesn't need this."

"Heh." General Qin certainly knew the level of the Luo Mansion, so he just took it easy.

"This is the letter that Young Master Qin asked me to bring to you." Mo Zhu handed the letter to General Qin.

"Thank you." General Qin took it. "I heard about him running around. It's our Qin family who is sorry for you."

"General Qin, please don't say that. Young Master Qin and I are close friends now. He will definitely not run away next time."

"Ha ha ha ha."

General Qin had no dealings with Luo Qin before, and his knowledge of him was only hearsay. Now that they actually chatted for a few minutes, he had a pretty good impression of him.

"It's late now. We can talk about the rest tomorrow. The tents are ready. Go and rest first."

"Okay, then tomorrow...?"

"Tomorrow's morning exercises..."

"I might not be able to get up."

"I didn't expect you to get up, so you don't have to participate in morning exercises tomorrow."

"Yes."

"I see you're in a hurry to get here, so I'll let you rest for a day tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, we'll really start the fight."

"understood."

“Well, although I don’t know why you came here, but since you are here, I want my men to behave like my men.”

"That's right! Don't worry, General. Now that I'm here, I will definitely do my job well." Mo Zhu expressed his opinion.

General Qin just smiled, as if he had heard some unreliable speech.

"I mean it."

"Got it. Take them to rest." General Qin ordered.

"Yes."

The deputy general took Luo Qin to the tent.

"Master Luo, I didn't know you had four people coming and only prepared two tents."

"It's okay. This guy is keeping watch in my tent."

"Yes, then you can rest first."

Only Mo Zhu and Jiang Liuer were left in the tent.

"You are quite good at acting?" said Mo Zhu.

“Living requires some skills.”

"You're quite talkative. Clean up and go to bed."

"Am I not keeping watch?"

"...It's good that he didn't have a fever anymore, but he's still keeping watch. We don't allow children to keep watch in our house."

"how about you?"

"I'm not sleepy. I'm going out for a walk."

"Are you going to see my young master?" Jiang Liu'er leaned close to Mo Zhu's ear and spoke stealthily in a low voice.

"What are you talking about? It's my first time in a military camp, I'm just looking around."

"I know where my master is imprisoned."

"where?"

"The prisoners are all in the training grounds, but my young master is under house arrest in the woodshed. The other tents are all very large because they have to hold a lot of things, and my young master's is the smallest."

"Ah."

"But what are you going to do now?"

"Nothing. I told you I was going out for a walk, but you didn't believe me."

"No one will believe this. It's not like I'm the only one who doesn't believe it."

"...Anyway, go to sleep first."

"Oh...but you have to tell me what you are going to do!" Jiang Liuer felt that she must not be left out in rescuing the young master.

"I know, what else can I do now?"

"Okay, I'll go to sleep then."

Jiang Liu'er was not polite either. He took off his clothes and got into Mo Zhu's bed.

"Cover yourself properly, don't get sick again."

"Not anymore."

After settling Jiang Liuer, Mo Zhu left the tent.

"Master Luo, do you have anything to tell me?"

The people in the military camp are all fixed, so when they see Mo Zhu, they all know who he is.

"Nothing, I just couldn't sleep so I looked around."

"Ah... uh..." According to military discipline, one is not allowed to look around, but the guards didn't know what to do with Young Master Luo.

"Then...just call us if you have any instructions."

"Ok."

"Also, try not to wander around." The guard said it tactfully.

"I understand! I understand! I'll just take some fresh air nearby and will be back to the tent soon." Mo Zhu agreed readily.

"Okay." The guard was also happy. On the one hand, he did not offend the young master, and on the other hand, he avoided being scolded by the general.

Seeing the guards walking away, Mo Zhu slowly strolled towards the woodshed.

Sure enough, I soon saw a tent that was obviously much smaller.

Mo Zhu slowly approached the tent and stood quietly at the door.

The people in the tent were still asleep, and a little candlelight could be seen from the gap in the curtains.

Mo Zhu sighed softly. He walked around to the side of the tent, sat on the ground, and leaned his back against the tent.
