I played as an assistant in ancient times

Shen Xiaoye was ordered to get off the car, and she obediently jumped out: "Don't hit my donkey."

"Oh my god! Brother Xiaoye, you are so awesome." A young boy ran over and squeezed past the soldiers, giving her a thumbs up. She charged all the way without bumping into anyone.

My brother Xiao Ye is indeed a manly man among women.

Shen Xiaoye recognized him as the son of Captain Lu who liked to buy snacks everywhere. "Lu Xiaoer, please help me. I have to go to the city urgently. Please keep an eye on the car and pay the fine for me."

As she said that, she took out two taels of silver from her bosom and threw it to him. Actually, it was the silver stored in the space. How could she carry silver when she was working in the fields?

Lu Erlang grabbed the silver and whispered to the old gatekeeper he knew. After a moment, the gatekeeper waved his hand and let her into the city.

The pedestrians on both sides watched but no one said anything. The main reason was that although the donkey cart was going fast, it really didn't hit anyone, and the driver was a little girl in her teens, which was magical.

The owner of a carriage leaving the city nearby couldn't help laughing after seeing all this: "The little girl is really a little calf."

"Seventh Master, shall we go?" asked the driver.

Master Wu Qi said, "Let's go, ride quickly to Ji Town, I will give you a big reward."

"Okay, sit tight!" The driver whipped the rickshaw happily and drove forward.

Shen Xiaoye was unaware of all this. She was running anxiously on the street, attracting many people's attention.

But now is not the time to be cautious. When she found Wubenzhai, the gatekeeper refused to let her in. Today a child ran away and ate the melon leaves, so she had to be extra careful.

Shen Xiaoye said anxiously, "I am the niece of Shen Changsui and the sister of Shen Cungeng. Human life is at stake. I have come to see Mr. Pan. Please pass on a message."

After saying this, he did not forget to take out a piece of silver and give it to the person.

The gatekeeper hesitated for a second before accepting the silver and said, "Wait."

He closed the door quickly and asked Shen Xiaoye to wait outside the door.

But when she came back, Shicun followed her and invited her in while saying, "Miss Shen, he ran out and hired a car to leave. I have sent people to chase Shen Cungeng. Didn't you meet him on the way?"

“My cousin has arrived home, but I don’t know who is behind him.

Brother Shicun, did the master really receive the news? "Shen Xiaoye walked faster than him. She had been to Wubenzhai twice and knew the location of the master's study.

Shicun felt like he couldn't catch up with her, "Don't worry, there's no final conclusion yet."

"The whole army was annihilated, and you call it inconclusive?" Shen Xiaoye blurted out, then realized that she was too sharp, "Apologize."

"It's okay, I understand." Shi Cun has been following the master for many years and has seen all kinds of people. He added: "The master was also very anxious when he received the news and is writing a letter to the capital."

"Thank you for your hard work, sir." Shen Xiaoye calmed down. She knew her cousin had heard correctly.

The moment Shicun pushed open the study door, the first thing that caught her eye was Mr. Pan writing furiously.

She came forward and bowed deeply, unable to stand up: "Please tell me the truth, sir."

"Ah..." Mr. Pan sighed and put down his pen, motioning for Shicun to help her up, "Sit down."

Shen Xiaoye did not sit beside him, but moved a stool to sit opposite him, and said earnestly: "Sir, I can bear it, please speak."

“It is true that a hundred thousand troops were annihilated, the commander was killed in battle, and three generals either died in battle or were captured and killed.

The 9,000 cavalry were completely wiped out, and the central army in the rear was scattered and defeated.

At present, no one in the entire battalion has been saved. Only Zibo in the rear, under the command of General Lu, decisively abandoned the camp and fought his way out.

But General Lu was also seriously injured and his life was in danger.

Poor my 100,000 soldiers, they were misled by the commander's underestimation of the enemy and his reckless advance!" Mr. Pan punched the table, and half of the ink in the inkstone splashed onto the table.

The wrinkles on his forehead deepened: "Your Majesty has repeatedly reminded us not to underestimate the enemy, why didn't the old Duke listen?"

"Is General Lu the third-rank general Lu An from the Fifth Army Battalion?"

"It's him."

"My fourth uncle wasn't with him?"

"No, he wrote to say that the first aid he and Instructor Lu Guan learned was highly valued, so it was borrowed by the left and right scouts. Unexpectedly..." Mr. Pan could not help pounding the table several times.

Then he took a deep breath and said, "The soldiers who escaped the collapse have been gathered. Don't worry. I have already sent a letter to my friends in the border army..."

He picked up the letter, which had already been splattered with ink.

Shen Xiaoye found that the teacher was actually more anxious than she was. She stood up to help clean up the table and said, "Sir, do you know where General Lu is camping now? I want to go check it out."

"?" Shicun suddenly looked up at her at the door.

Mr. Pan shook his head: "The area outside the Great Wall is vast, the terrain is complex and the language is difficult to understand. It is too dangerous for you, a child, to go there.

Besides, the border is under martial law right now, so you can’t leave.”

"Sir, I can, and I can ride a horse." Shen Xiaoye suddenly spoke in Tartar. She thought that being able to ride a mule or a horse was almost the same as being able to ride a war horse.

At the same time, she drew a simple map, still in Tartar: "This is Linghe County, Jizhen, Kuanhe, Qingcheng, Daning City, Yingzhou."

"You?" Mr. Pan saw that there was nothing wrong with the position of her drawing. Although the pronunciation of Tartar was not accurate, the expression was not wrong.

Shen Xiaoye said, "My father was a student and knew a lot of things." In fact, she learned Tatar from her uncle after she heard about the war a few days ago. After all, she was a student of foreign languages ​​and had some talent.

She looked straight at him: "I don't know where General Lu is now. I'm not alone. Grandpa will definitely go to look for him. My two uncles and uncles from the same village are over there."

"Shi Cun!" Mr. Pan shouted, and Shi Cun came over and pushed his wheelchair. After a moment, Mr. Pan took out a roll of paper from the secret cabinet and opened it for Shen Xiaoye.

"Come and see, here, they were tricked here. The central army was here at the time, and they could only break out in these directions. Can you see anything?"

“Well, the battle took place in Mobei, and several days had passed when the news came. General Lu didn’t have many horses, so he led his men to retreat to this position at most in the hope of getting closer to the Kaiping Garrison.

This place is several hundred meters away from our frontier guard post, and is still being invaded by the northern barbarians." Shen Xiaoye frowned.

“Sir, the guards will pick them up, right?

When I arrived, General Lu and his troops must have been in Kaiping, or even back in Daning to rest."

"That's right. You can't get close to them unless they enter the border." Mr. Pan's eyes lit up. "Does your uncle know the border terrain better than you? Has he inherited your father's true teachings?"

"Almost. Many paintings and calligraphy were destroyed by fire during droughts and banditry." Shen Xiaoye carefully took out insurance.

"Your father is amazing!" Mr. Pan clenched his fists. "It's my fault. When Sui Ge'er comes back, I will definitely teach him the principles of geomancy."

He didn't know that his students understood these things. In fact, many of Xu Shuren's students didn't understand them.

Shen Xiaoye said: "Sir, if my guess is correct, could you please help me get a pass?"

She could get a pass from the county government, but now she had to find another way to leave the country.

"Let me think about it. I'll give you an answer tomorrow, no, the day after tomorrow." Mr. Pan did not refuse immediately.

Shen Xiaoye thanked him. She knew that her husband was stalling for time and wanted to receive more accurate information.

She declined Shicun's offer to take her home, and left the city absent-mindedly, leading the donkey cart from Lu Er's hand and walking slowly, but she always felt that the donkey was reluctant to move.

"Shen Xiaoye! You hit the bridge!" Taoist Master Hengxi, carrying a medicine box on his back, flew from the middle of the bridge and grabbed the reins.

Shen Xiaoye then realized that she had unknowingly bumped into the bridge head diagonally. She exhaled, and then saw that there was another Taoist priest behind the Taoist priest. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she ran towards him: "Master Qingxi, are you familiar with the Feng Shui outside the Great Wall?

I will pay you money, and please help me to see the scenery outside the border."

“???” Taoist Qingxi was suddenly filled with question marks and black lines on his head. He turned to look at his junior brother: Come here, what’s going on?

Taoist Priest Hengxi was also puzzled!
