Set out on an expedition (3)

  Baili Muruobai galloped along with Yan'er, her face flying in the wind. Yan'er had never ridden a horse before and she tightly hugged Baili Muruobai's body, her small head not daring to look forward.

  As for the family members outside the mansion, they couldn't help but gaze at the two figures leaving in the distance, and sighed: This young master Murong Bai looks like a naive and immature young man every day, but it turns out he's also a capable person. If the general's younger brother is like this, isn't the general even more extraordinary?!

  It's no wonder they would think that, Pan Yu Yang is going to the battlefield, but not with his house servants. These house servants who have been serving in the imperial city for years have only witnessed the atmosphere before the expedition, but none of them have seen real battles. They are also unclear about Pan Yu Yang's martial skills and only know that the general is very powerful!

  Baili Murong lowered his head and took a look at Mianmian's face: "Don't be afraid, we'll take the shortcut to the mountain slope outside Ximen. You can see Shixiong there."

  Her face was still in Bai Huai's arms, nodding her head, already accustomed to the whistling wind by her ear. Yan'er gazed at the rapidly passing scenery before her eyes, it was still too early, there were only a few pedestrians in the city, and the horse running through the city did not encounter any obstacles.

  The two of them stood on the mountain slope outside the city, overlooking it from a height, and Yan let out an exclamation of surprise.

  "Shixiong and the others haven't arrived yet, we're taking a small path, just wait a bit and you'll see." Baili Muru looked towards the direction of the city gate, where a sea of dark figures had already appeared.

  "Hmm." She lowered her head and glanced at the small hillside, wondering if Yueshang would see her come to send him off.

  "Look quickly!" Mu Bai pointed at the dark and dense figures moving in the distance ahead.

  Her face followed Mu Bai's gaze, and she saw Pan Yueyang wearing armor, holding a long spear in his left hand, riding on horseback. Behind him was a man in silver armor, whose shining light dazzled the eyes. Their speed was not slow, and they quickly approached the mountain slope.

  Pan Yu Yang raised his head and looked at the mountain slope for a moment before shouting as he sped forward.

  Her beautiful eyes stared at the man who had just looked at her, did he see her come to send him off? Moonlight~

  "Let's go back, Brother. The master has seen you." Baili Muru looked at the troops passing beneath them and turned his horse around to gallop away.

  All the way, Yan'er didn't say a word, Mu Bai knew she was in a bad mood, so he slowed down his pace and finally let the horse wander aimlessly.

  "Where are they going?" Mu Bai asked. Yan'er lowered her head.

  "I don't know." Mu Bai gazed at the birds in the mountain forest.

  "You said every time Moonlight goes to battle, Snow Clear sister will follow along, right?"

  "Yes, Brother and Sister have been fighting side by side since they came down from the mountain at the age of sixteen." Mu Bai let out a soft whooshing sound, knocked down a small sparrow, turned over and got off his horse to pick it up, with an air of innocence.

  "Snow Qing's sister is very good at martial arts, it's fine as long as she's here." Yan'er looked at Baili Muru picking up the bird on the ground from horseback, somewhat bewildered.

  "Shi Jie is Shi Xiong's right-hand man, otherwise how could General Laodao send her to Wudang Mountain to learn martial arts?" Baili Murong tied the horse and handed Fan'er over to let her get off the horse.

  "Let's go find Xue Qing sister! Mu Bai, didn't you know that Yue Yang went to battle? If not, let's go find Xue Qing sister!" Yan Er sat down on a rock casually.

  "Shi Jie will definitely know where she's going, and naturally, she'll start from somewhere else." Bai Li Mu Bai began to gather firewood and start a fire.

  "Oh, what are you doing?" Yan'er looked at Mu Bai's busy figure.

  "Roasted Sparrow!" Bai Li Mu Bai blinked his smiling eyes: "Guaranteed that after you eat it, you won't forget this delicious taste!"

  For several days, Yan'er had been looking at Baili Muxue with a hesitant expression, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't. Baili Muxue knew that Yan'er was thinking of finding her senior sister, but he had already promised his senior brother that night and would stay by Yan'er's side no matter what!

  "Mu Bai, where did they go now?" Yan'er couldn't eat anything.

  "I don't know." Bai Li Mu Bai lowered his head and continued eating.

  "How come you don't know anything?" Yan's face was somewhat displeased, every time she asked him something he would say "I don't know, I don't know".

  "Because I really don't know, those are their imperial court's affairs, what am I, how would I know?" Baili Muru looked at her with a pitiful expression.

  Yes, she doesn't know either. Those are court affairs, they're just ordinary civilians, how would they know about these things? Moreover, this is also a military secret, so it won't be revealed to too many people.

  "Admire White..." sighed with a breath.

  "Huh?" Mu Bai wasn't unaware, and even if he really didn't know, couldn't he have asked around along the way? Those large armies marching everywhere were all marked with signs.

  "Take me to find Yueyang, okay?" Yan'er put down her chopsticks.

  "Not good."

  "Why?" Her face was somewhat angry.

  Baili Muru didn't say a word and lowered his head to eat.

  "Mu Bai, I beg of you, I'm worried about being at home, I want to go with Yue Yang." Yan'er begged and knelt down.

  The sudden movement startled Bai Mu Bai, and he immediately jumped up to support her.

  "What are you doing, Yan'er! Eldest Brother told me before he left that night to stay and take care of you at home!" Otherwise, he would have followed Eldest Brother to fight a long time ago, it's been ages since he last exercised.

  "What did you say? Won't even take me with him, is that right?" Yan'er stared straight at him, her tone also becoming very unfamiliar.

  Baili Muxue didn't say anything.

  "Her face remained kneeling like that, she wouldn't eat or drink, only begging the great hero Bai Li to take her to find Yue Yang." Her eyes stared firmly ahead.

  "Your face, the battlefield isn't a place to fool around, people can die! You're pregnant and have no strength to tie a chicken, if you go, it'll only make Shifu more worried!" Bai Li Mu was somewhat anxious.

  Her face was expressionless, staring straight ahead.

  Baili Muru slammed his hand on the table and stood up, walking out. His face was truly crazy, going would only add trouble for Shixiong, he couldn't be soft-hearted!

  "Xue Qing sister is not by Yue Yang's side, and you can't stay by Yue Yang's side either. If Yan Er doesn't go, how can Mu Bai help your Shixiong?! Yan Er shouted loudly at the door, her eyes instantly welling up with tears."

  Baili Muru was taken aback for a moment, then turned her head to face the room: "First eat your fill and tidy up."

  Her face finally reacted to Mu Bai's words after a while, with a smile on her face and wiping away tears, she stuffed rice into her mouth in big mouthfuls.

  The two of them only brought two sets of clothes to change into, and Qian Er had no money on him. Bai Mu hurriedly ran to the accounting room to fetch a few silver notes with considerable denominations, and the two set off in a hurry.

  Out of the imperial city, they galloped westward at a much faster pace than before. Yan's face was somewhat pale and her whole body felt dizzy from being jolted around - it turned out that riding a horse was so difficult!

  "When we arrive at the next town, I'll get a horse-drawn carriage," Ba Li Mu Bai slowed down slightly, after all, she was still pregnant and such a long bumpy ride was a danger to her.

  "Hmm." Can't bear the upcoming turmoil, her face turned pale, somewhat regretting her impulsiveness, this kind of herself even if she found Yue Yang, would only drag him down.

  A hundred miles away, with a heart full of longing, apart from worrying about Yan's physical condition, I was more eager to arrive at Shixiong's campsite earlier.

  He finally settled in the town and found an inn. He ordered two rooms and also instructed the shopkeeper to buy a horse-drawn carriage for him.

  "Yan'er, get a good rest tonight. I just went out to gather information and found that Shixiong's troops passed by here yesterday, heading southwest. We'll take a good rest today and hurry up tomorrow. The army's movement speed is much faster than ours." Mu Bai pushed the dishes in front of Yan'er, hinting for her to eat quickly.

  "How can so many people be faster than us?" Yan'er asked while eating her meal, she was starving.

  "They are all seasoned warriors who have been training for years, their physical strength is unimaginable. Eat quickly." Baili Muru looked at her eating.

  "Aren't you going to eat?" Yan's hands didn't stop moving as she ate, and at this moment, there was nothing else to say.

  "You eat first and I'll eat later." Mu Bai lay on the table, seemingly lost in thought.

  "Mu Bai, you said so many troops and such a small town, how can they all be accommodated? Even if all the inns in the town were given to them, it wouldn't be enough to go around?" Yan'er was puzzled about this.

  "Hahaha......" Baili Murong suddenly burst out laughing.

  "What's wrong?" Her face was a bit puzzled, what's wrong with her, did she eat a full face of rice grains? Touching her face, there's nothing.

  "Ha! They don't enter the city when they go to war, they all set up camp directly in the wilderness!" Bai Li Mu smiled at Xiao'er's ignorance. Indeed, as a young lady from Jiangnan, apart from embroidering flowers and chasing butterflies, what would she know about these things?

  I feel a bit embarrassed, forced a smile on my face, what a stupid question, it seems I still have a lot to learn!

  "Qianer, if you feel uncomfortable anywhere on your body along the way, be sure to speak up, don't endure it." Baili Muru saw that Qianer wasn't eating anymore and picked up a clean rice bowl, starting to eat with big mouthfuls of rice and dishes.

  "Hmm, don't underestimate me, I'm not as weak as I look." Yan touched his belly, this little guy will definitely be like his dad in the future, because all along the way, he hasn't been troubled by the bumps, thinking of him, Yan smiled sweetly.

  Foot of Mount Wudang

  Xue Qing stood at the mountain gate, recalling the scene when she and Yue Yang first came here. At that time, General was leading them to pay respects to their master, with Yue Yang holding her small hand.

  Snow has cleared! I must pass the test to become a true disciple of Wudang! How about you?

  Moonlight, I am too, wherever you are, I will be there with you, no matter how difficult it is, we won't give up!

  Haha, look at you, Month Sun, you're all dirty. Take it off and I'll wash it for you tonight.

  Senior brother and sister, when we grow up, will senior brother marry you? At that time, bring Mu Bai along.

  Marry me? Snowing, will you marry me?

  No way! Humph!

  I won't get married if you don't agree!

  Childhood memories flooded my mind, wiping away tears under the bright moon and clear snow.

  "Big Sister Master, why are you staring blankly at the mountain gate?" A little junior brother ran over and followed Snow Qing's line of sight to look at the mountain gate, but there was nothing special about it!

  "It's alright, come back and see Master. These few days I've been thinking about things from when I was a kid." Xue Qing smiled as she looked at her little junior brother beside her.

  "Oh, big sister, hurry back to eat dinner." The little brother was very envious of the big sister. She was the only female apprentice taken in by their master, as Wudang had never accepted women before. Their big sister had actually been able to become a disciple and her martial arts skills were so high, it made him envy her to death.

  Xue Qing sat down: "Master..."

  "The snow has cleared, and the days of coming are many. It's time to go back." The Wudang True Person looked at his disciple with a worried face, shaking his head, for all people suffer from emotions."

  "I want to spend more time with Master." Xue Qing serves Master's meal.

  "Hehe, Master Sister, I went down the mountain today. Wow, everything at the foot of the mountain is boiling!" A young boy in his early teens said to Xue Qing while eating his meal, telling her about what he had learned when he went down the mountain today.

  "Oh? Let's talk about it, you're saying that Master taught you to practice with a gun. Weren't you the most envious of your Shiyue brother holding a long spear?" Xueqing stretched out her hand and rubbed the child's hair.

  "Hmm! Down the mountain, everyone says that Tianfeng Country and our Panlong Country have gone to war! Our Panlong Country's..." Before the child could finish speaking, the person in front of him had disappeared.

  Sister is going too fast, where is she going?

  At this time, Xue Qing's mind was filled with that sentence: Tianfeng Country and Panlong Country have gone to war!
