Chapter 381 I like it, so I'm not bored
"Indeed, Erbao has always been the smartest one. Back then, I met him in Baishi Town, not far from the border. Even though he seems to be very obedient and well-behaved, he is very capable. At such a young age, he can make the local beggars listen to him."
"Bai Shi Town?" Chu Chenfeng seemed to be thinking about something.
"Well, I went to the border when I was young. Baishi Town is not far from the border and has also experienced war. When I met Erbao, he was already eight years old. He was from Baishi Town. His mother died early, and his father... I think he had no father. No one took care of him, so he had to become a beggar."
"Ah."
"But this child is a bit stubborn. I don't think Xingyi can arrange anything for him. I'll send someone to pass on a message later."
Chu Chenfeng wanted to laugh when he heard her say "this child". He was still a child, but he spoke in an adult-like manner.
Li Mulan noticed it, "Are you laughing at me?"
Chu Chenfeng pursed his lips slightly, "I dare not."
"Humph."
At this time, Xing Yi came hurriedly, with a bit of sadness on his face, and saluted towards the two of them.
Li Mulan laughed and said, "Hello, Commander, your eyebrows are so tight that they can kill a mosquito. What happened?"
Xingyi smiled bitterly, "Princess, please don't laugh at me. There are indeed some things." Xingyi looked at Chu Chenfeng, "Master, the one you want, Erbao, is unwilling to go to the border. No matter what Dongzi says, he doesn't agree."
Li Mulan and Chu Chenfeng looked at each other and both smiled.
"You really guessed it right."
"As for my people, hehehe, I know very well what bad habits they have. Where is he? Is he still in that yard?"
"No, I came here with Dongzi. I arranged for him to stay in the outer courtyard."
"I'll go talk to him," and then looked at Chu Chenfeng, "Do you want to come with us?"
Chu Chenfeng nodded, "Let's go together."
When Li Mulan arrived, Dongzi was still trying to persuade Erbao earnestly.
"When we were in the valley, we trained all the time. Now that we are out, we have a chance to go out and see the world. Why are you so stubborn?"
"I am the master's man. I will follow the master when I leave the valley."
"It's good to be with the master, but now we have nothing to do. Xingyi came here to choose someone, and it was approved by the master."
Erbao was unmoved and simply stopped talking.
Dongzi was helpless and could only scratch his head, sighed, and started drinking tea madly.
Li Mulan walked in with a smile, "Is Erbao being stubborn again?"
Dongzi and Erbao stood up and looked at Li Mulan. Because Li Mulan didn't like rules, they were always very casual with each other, and a nod was considered a greeting.
However, when they saw Chu Chenfeng beside her, they still bowed slightly.
"Why? Don't you want to go to the barracks?"
Erbao pursed his lips and said nothing.
Li Mulan seemed to be used to his appearance and continued, "You have been training every day in the valley for so many years, and you have learned a lot. Going to the military camp and the battlefield may help you to better display your strengths, isn't that good?"
Erbao still didn't speak, with his head lowered.
"So what do you want to do? Can you tell me?"
Erbao then raised his head and said, "Go back to the valley to continue training. If you don't want to go back, then stay with the master."
Li Mulan smiled, "But I don't need you to protect me, let alone take care of me. If that happens, you will be bored with nothing to do all day long?"
"There is a mountain behind the house we live in now. Also, the mountain where those living creatures were stored before looks good to me. We can continue training in the mountain, just in a different location."
Speaking of those living creatures, Li Mulan was in a state of confusion when she thought about them. They said it was a wedding gift for her. Wow, they hunted along the way, all the prey they caught alive, everything. When she arranged for someone to bring them back, Zhang was scared to death.
"Isn't it boring to train all the time?"
Erbao shook his head, his expression somewhat dull, "I like it, so it's not boring."
"If you like something, you won't feel bored. Then... then you should go to the border. It's much more interesting there than training in the mountains."
Erbao blinked and looked at her, as if waiting for her to continue.
"The military camp is full of experts, and many of them are proficient in military tactics and battle formations, and are very powerful. You can go there to train. But the training there is much more dangerous than in the valley. Are you afraid?"
After just a few words, Erbao's expression changed from indifference to curiosity, "Is he really that powerful? More powerful than the master?"
"Ahem," Li Mulan looked at Chu Chenfeng uncomfortably, "What I taught you is all knowledge from books, but you have to know that theory alone is not enough. You need to practice more, accumulate more experience, and apply what you have learned. Only then will it become your own ability."
"Then..." Erbao hesitated again, "Then the master really doesn't need my protection?"
Dongzi pushed him in annoyance, "Are you stupid? The master has Yuan Ruo and Xiao Qi by his side, so why does he need you?"
Erbao looked at Li Mulan for a long while and seemed to have finally figured it out. "Then... then I'll go. When it's over over there, can we... can we come back? Or... or just..."
Erbao glanced at Chu Chenfeng with a hint of meaning, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear...
"Hehe," Li Mulan laughed, and stepped forward to rub his head, "What are you thinking about? You are my people, and you will naturally follow me when you come back. I didn't give you away, right, Your Majesty?"
Chu Chenfeng raised the corner of his lips, "Of course, I am just borrowing it this time."
Erbao finally felt relieved, "Then...then let's go."
Xingyi finally breathed a sigh of relief. This kid was really stubborn. The most important thing was that if he didn't go, many of the people he had chosen would start to hesitate, which made him feel very embarrassed.
Dongzi pushed him in annoyance, and then ruffled his neat hair, "You are so stubborn. You won't listen unless the master tells you to."
Erbao hummed twice and said nothing. He fixed his hair and looked at Li Mulan cautiously.
Li Mulan waved at him with amusement, and Erbao trotted over happily. He was obviously not much younger than Li Mulan, but he looked like an elder calling a child over. It was weird no matter how you looked at it.
"The military camp is different from the valley, there may be more rules. You have to help Dongzi keep an eye on those naughty monkeys, understand?"
Erbao nodded obediently, "I will."
"Bring a few more sets of clothes and money..." Li Mulan turned her head and looked at Chu Chenfeng, "I don't think they will be needed, then... then..."
Xing Yi responded positively, "Don't worry, Princess. I will arrange everything and will never let the brothers go cold or hungry. You can rest assured."
