A hundred miles outside Longcheng.

A group of people huddled together in a dilapidated courtyard.

They were the people who were imprisoned by the bandits before. After being rescued, they were placed here by the King of Donglong County.

It's said to be resettlement, but in fact it's just detention.

Now that the second master is back, they are free again.

They knew in their hearts that the second master must have paid something for them to be free.

Meng Dayuan spoke in a serious tone, "Second Master, what are our plans for the future?"

They want to help and share the burden, but they don’t know how.

That feeling of powerlessness filled them all.

Now the Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency is torn apart, with only a dozen or so of the fifty or so people left, and even the residence of the Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency no longer exists.

They can only hide here and eke out an existence.

If they go out rashly and are discovered by people from other escort agencies, they will definitely not end well.

Meng Daan frowned. These people were her life-and-death partners, and she could never leave them alone now.

But she couldn't resist the king's order.

The Dragon and Tiger Escort Bureau was originally composed of a group of beggars. They have reached their current scale through the joint efforts of everyone. They don't want to lose their home if they are in trouble.

There is no way for a group of women and men to squeeze into this shabby hut.

Today's world is tough, and if you want to survive in troubled times, you have to risk everything.

Meng Daan clenched her fists and encouraged herself secretly. She would give it a try no matter whether it was successful or not.

"Da Yuan, you take good care of them. I'll come back as soon as I go."

The only way now is the road pointed by the prince.

Meng Dayuan's eyes showed undisguised worry, "Second Master, take care."

If it weren't for their second boss, they would not be threatened by bandits, do things that go against themselves, and would not be caught by the county king.

In the end, they got the second boss in trouble.

Meng Daan patted her shoulder and solemnly told her, "You must wait for me to come back."

Everything she does is for her family. If her family is gone, what's the point of doing it.

Meng Dayuan's eyes were firm, "Second Master, we will definitely wait for you to come back."

After living together for so long, she already had a tacit understanding. She knew what Meng Daan meant and her temper.

The fact that they can set up an escort agency shows that their own abilities are not bad, and they have more or less force with them.

All they can do now is take good care of their bodies and regain their previous strength, so that they can no longer hold back the second leader.

Changliu Village

A small figure sits under the peach tree at the entrance of the village. Huaian will be waiting at the entrance of the village these days, looking forward to seeing the familiar figure again.

Sometimes when he is tired, he will go home to feed the fish. He knows that these fish are his mother's favorite.

Near evening, he went back to the village chief's house to help with the work. Despite other people's little tricks, he was very neat and never caused any trouble to the village chief.

Every time he saw this, the village chief felt that the little guy was too well-behaved to be like a seven-year-old child.

Huaian looked at the darkening sky and hugged himself with some disappointment. He knew that he would not be able to wait for the person he wanted to wait for today.

The little guy stood up sadly and walked to the village chief's house.

"brat."

Huai'an turned around in disbelief. When he saw a familiar figure, he couldn't help but ran over and threw himself into that person's arms.

He waited for eight days and finally found the person he was waiting for.

Huai'an threw himself into Mu Yan's arms and cried loudly.

After all, he is still a child, and no matter how well-behaved he pretends to be, he is still afraid of being abandoned.

"Be good, mother and father are back."

When Mu Yan was not ready to be a mother, the little guy suddenly broke into her world, and she didn't know how to be a qualified mother.

Now she realizes that as a mother, she also has a responsibility alongside her concern for her children.

This responsibility is not only to provide food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also to educate the children.

She did not want her children to end up like Lehi's children.

In these troubled times, she must teach Huaian how to protect herself and survive.

Huaian hiccupped and spoke cautiously, "Father, will you leave Huaian alone in the future?" Mu Yan softly comforted the little guy, "No, mother and father will never leave you alone again."

It turns out that the place where you care is the real place to return.

The village chief came home after not seeing the little guy for a long time. He hurried out to look for him and happened to see this scene.

"Miss Yan, you are finally back."

The village chief was overjoyed. Miss Yan's time out this time was longer than the last time. Now that she's back, she must have finished her work and won't go out again.

"Thank you to the village chief for helping take care of Huai'an."

The village chief helped her, but she might not be able to repay him.

In this case, all she can do is protect the safety of Changliu Village.

They have already encountered war, and they must not go through it again.

When she received the imperial edict, she didn't have much feeling. She just wanted to be a good chess piece.

She thought a lot on the way to Changliu Village.

If she is limited to being a chess piece, she cannot protect the people she cherishes. In this case, why doesn't she fight for herself.

She no longer wants to be a chess piece at the mercy of others.

She wants to be a chess player.

The village chief gave Mu Yan an annoyed look.

"What's there to thank you for? It's just a small effort. If you keep doing this, I won't help you in the future."

Mu Yan agreed, "Okay, listen to the village chief."

"Can Miss Yan still go out when she returns home this time?"

Not long after the yard was built, she had only lived in it a few times. Sometimes she really doubted that Miss Yan couldn't live in that house at all.

Mu Yan was a little embarrassed. She originally wanted to settle down in Changliu Village and spend her life peacefully, but she didn't expect that a lot of things happened by accident.

On the contrary, the village chief has been busy for a long time in vain.

She put Huai'an down and took out the money she had prepared in advance.

"Village Chief, I came back to the village this time to pick up Huaian, and secondly, I want you to help me take care of the yard when you are free."

She didn't know when she would be back when she went out this time.

Maybe she will be gray-haired when she comes back, and no matter what, her home must remain intact.

The village chief was shocked, "You still want to leave?"

Mu Yan pursed his lips and nodded.

"I had a reason why I had to leave."

The village chief felt a little bored. He finally met a junior he liked, but he didn't expect to leave so soon.

But young people always have their own things to do, and she can't force them to stay here.

"Take the money back. Don't worry about the yard. I will take good care of it. No matter where you go, you must remember that Changliu Village is your home."

Family!
Is it her home?
The word home completely touched the softness of Mu Yan's heart.

In her previous life, she also had a family, parents, and sisters, and she didn't know how sad they were if something like that happened to her.

I really hope they can forget about themselves and live a good life. After all, it is very painful to remain in the memory of a person who no longer exists.

It took a long time for Mu Yan to come back to his senses.

"Mu Yan remembers that if there is a chance in the future, he will definitely come back here again."

She handed over the money in her hand and said, "The village chief should accept it as a token of my appreciation, otherwise I won't feel at ease when I come back in the future."

The village chief knew Mu Yan's temperament and didn't say anything more.

"You, it's always like this. If someone does something nice to you, you want to repay him twice as much. If you're like this, you'll suffer a lot outside. You should be more careful."

The village chief looked like he hated iron for not becoming steel. She would never forget the day when Mu Yan bought a house.

"Okay, let's go. If you don't go up the mountain now, you definitely don't plan to go back. Don't worry, I will take care of the yard for you."

Mu Yan really didn't plan to go back. When she returned to Changliu Village, she was not the one who was most anxious.

Magistrate Yang will definitely chase her. She doesn't want the tranquility of Changliu Village to be broken by an outsider.
