Chapter 342: Hiding in the Town
In Liyang City, there are two people who are also worried about Mu Xiaojiu's safety, and one of them is Xiao Ling'er, who sold Mu Xiaojiu's wontons to eat that morning.
In fact, it was normal for her to be worried, after all, there were already a lot of wanted notices for Mu Xiaojiu and Mu Duan in Liyang City at this time. Although it is said that the painter who drew the wanted warrant has the meaning of a soul painter, after all, it has been rumored in the city in the past two days that Mu Xiaojiu killed the parents of the city, and the wanted warrant also wrote about it.
Originally, Xiao Ling'er had decided to leave Liyang City, but because of such an incident, she still failed to leave in the end.
At this moment, she was on the street watching the aunts and uncles eat her wontons, thinking nonsense.
Speaking of which, this is good news, since the original Master Ye became the parent official of Liyang City, they Han people can also start doing business again, although it is said that a big restaurant still can't be opened, but a small stall like hers is no problem.
In addition, there is another one who is worried about Mu Xiaojiu, in fact, it is the Master Ye in Xiao Ling'er's mouth, that is, Master Ye who has now become the parent official of Liyang City.
Of course, what Xiao Ling'er didn't know was that Ye Di was actually just a temporary generation.
At this moment, Ye Di was drinking wine alone in the room, and a pair of stiff sword eyebrows were deeply furrowed, as if he was a little annoyedβhe was thinking about Mu Xiaojiu's affairs.
After Mu Xiaojiu made a big fuss in Liyang City that day, he was never heard from. Ye Di had already let go of his heart, thinking that Mu Xiaojiu would not make a move in a short period of time. As a result, I didn't expect that after only a few days, this Mu Xiaojiu, who had become his son, had done such a big thing.
Wan Yan Kang, that is the only son of Zhao Wang Ye of the Qing Dynasty, and he is deeply loved by Zhao Wang Ye Wan Yan Honglie. Wan Yankang, who was like a cloud of masters around him, was killed by Mu Xiaojiu so easily? Let's have fun!
However, the facts are in front of Ye Di's eyes, and he can't believe it.
However, Ye Di is really no longer so worried at this time, it turns out that he thought that saying that Mu Xiaojiu was going to assassinate important people would expose Mu Xiaojiu's plan, although he was persuaded by his sister Ye Xiao, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart. This time, he finally knew that Mu Xiaojiu's real goal was not Wei Xiaobao, but Wan Yankang.
What he is really worried about now is where Mu Xiaojiu has gone.
You say a big living person, how can he disappear like that?
Of course, Mu Xiaojiu didn't disappear, he was actually not far from Liyang City now. Because, at this moment, he was actually hiding in Soul Crossing Town with Mei Chaofeng and Mu Duan. This is also something that can't be helped, although there is the Nine Flowers Jade Dew Pill of Peach Blossom Island, but Mu Xuan's injury still needs to be recuperated.
However, when it comes to this, we have to start from that night.
β¦β¦
That night, Mu Xiaojiu had just killed the generals and swaggered all the way back to Soul Crossing Town. Before I could go in, I saw a little girl standing at the entrance of the town. This little girl is none other than Fluttershy.
You must know that it has been this time, it is already completely dark, and a little girl is standing at the entrance of the town with an oil-paper umbrella like this, Mu Xiaojiu is worried about whether she will be afraid.
"Huh? Aren't you Fluttershy? Why are you here? β
Fluttershy sensibly took two steps forward and covered Mu Xiaojiu with an umbrella, before she said crisply, "It was my father and mother who told me to wait for you here, saying that you would come over later." Just now, when my mother was packing up her things, she saw the old man who was with you, and took him home with another aunt. β
Although the little girl said a little confused, Mu Xiaojiu still understood. Presumably the eldest sister during the day saw Mu Duan and Mei Chaofeng while packing up their belongings, and then took them home and told Fluttershy to come out and wait for her.
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaojiu couldn't help but be a little moved, "Fluttershy, how long have you been waiting?" It's raining so late, you must be quite cold. β
Fluttershy shook her head, then lifted her hand and pointed behind her, "No, big brother, my house is here, I was bored in the yard just now, so I came out for a spin." β
Mu resists the urge to roll her eyes and follows Fluttershy into the courtyard.
Once in the courtyard, Fluttershy does not take him to the main hall, but to a hut on the right hand side of the courtyard. As soon as Mu Xiaojiu entered, he saw Mei Chaofeng sitting on a chair without saying a word, while the new mayor and his wife were standing by the bed, looking anxious.
"Huh? Benefactor, you're back. As soon as the mayor's wife saw Mu Xiaojiu, she hurriedly greeted her, "Official, why don't you come over and thank Engong?" β
When the mayor heard this, he rushed over with three steps and two steps, and bowed his head directly, "In the next Zhang Cong, thank you for your life-saving grace during the day, and the great grace will never be forgotten." β
Mu Xiaojiu gave way to the side, and then helped the mayor Zhang Cong up, "Well, Mayor Zhang is too polite, acting chivalrous and righteous is the righteousness of my generation, not to mention that I am actually just at the right time." β
Zhang Cong shook his head, "Anyway, Engong saved my life and the lives of the people of this soul-crossing town after all. β
Mu Xiaojiu looked at the gratitude on the faces of the two, couldn't help but shake his head, and said after a long while: "Since that's the case, then I'm not welcome." As you have seen, both of you, my old servant is seriously injured and may need to recuperate here for the night. β
Zhang Cong glanced back at Mu Xuan, who was lying on the bed, who had already fainted, shook his head and said, "Don't say that, don't say it for one night, you can stay here as long as you want." The old gentleman is seriously wounded, and I am afraid that he will not be able to recuperate for one night, and tomorrow I will ask the doctor from the town to come and take a look. β
Mu Xiaojiu pursed his lips and hesitated, but in the end he chose to tell the truth, after all, he was not afraid that the couple would run out to tell the truth, as long as the two of them had the slightest movement at night, they would definitely not be able to escape the ears of him and Mei Chaofeng.
"The two, let's not hide it, we can be regarded as a criminal, we just assassinated Wan Yankang, the son of King Zhao, tonight. My old servant was actually injured at that time. If nothing else, I'm afraid that in a few days, our wanted warrant will come down. Therefore, forget about asking the doctor, we will stay for this night, otherwise I am afraid that it will also affect you and your husband and wife. β
The couple listened to Mu Xiaojiu's words, looked at each other for a while, and then the mayor Zhang Cong made a decision to settle the matter, "Engong, what you said has tormented our husband and wife." Although I am not a big official, I have not studied for a few years. However, I still understand the principle of 'the grace of a drop of water springs in return', and Jia Yan often taught me this when he was alive. You can rest assured that you can stay in my house, and you don't have to worry about the wanted warrant, and our husband and wife will not go to the informant. If you don't feel at ease, our husband and wife won't go out for the next two days. β
Zhang Cong's wife also nodded, "Don't worry, we won't betray you, we will stay at home for the past two days, anyway, we have food and everything at home, and we won't be hungry." Wait until this old gentleman has recovered from his injuries before you leave, otherwise it will not be safe. β
Mu Xiaojiu looked at the sincere expressions of the two, thought twice, and finally nodded, "Then bother." We will stay here for a few more days, and if you want to go out, please feel free, since I believe in you, there will be no more doubts. β
Mu Xiaojiu made this decision, naturally not because he really completely believed in these two people. Wealth touches people's hearts, and money can make ghosts grind. When the time comes, when the bounty comes out, God knows if these two people will take this kindness to heart. Although, Mu Xiaojiu did prefer to believe that the two of them were sincere.
The main reason for staying here is actually because of the broken wood.
Thinking about it carefully, what Zhang Cong and his wife said is not unreasonable. Mu Xiaojiu and they had no way to leave directly, after all, they couldn't take the official road, but had to secretly cross the border, with Mu Duan's current appearance, let alone running secretly, even if they took the official road, it would be detrimental to Mu Duan's injury.
So, in fact, after thinking about it, it would be safer to stay here.
Of course, to be honest, if he could, in fact, the most ideal hiding place in Mu Xiaojiu's heart was Liyang City, which was the best choice at this moment. Don't say anything else, let's just say that Ye Di is there, if Mu Xiaojiu hides Ye Di with Mu Duan and Mei Chaofeng, I'm afraid there will really be no danger.
But there is no way, Mu Duan can't hurry now, and this matter can only be talked about tomorrow.
However, Mu Xiaojiu didn't expect that early the next morning, the first wanted warrant about them came down, and this first wanted warrant did not mention Yan Kang's death, but only mentioned their quarrel in Liyang City.
But even so, Mu Xiaojiu's idea of running to Liyang City with Mu Duan and Mei Chaofeng to hide was completely ruined. Fortunately, the next morning, Mu Duan finally woke up from his coma.
"Childe, I'm sorry, I'm the one who bothered you." After Mu Duan woke up, the first thing he said to Mu Xiaojiu was this sentence, obviously he really felt guilty in his heart.
Mu Xiaojiu shook his head, and then patted Mu Jie's shoulder, "Okay, don't worry, let's rest and recuperate in the past two days, anyway, our purpose of coming to Daqing this time has been successfully completed." β
Mu Duan nodded slightly, but did not speak again.
Mu Xiaojiu shrugged his shoulders, he himself had the same temper as a stubborn donkey, but Mu Duan also had a little bit of that meaning. He couldn't persuade him, so he simply said directly: "Okay, you have a good rest, I'll go out first." β
After speaking, Mu Xiaojiu got up and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something, turned around and said, "Oh, by the way, I was idle and bored last night, and I went back to kill the guy who hurt you." β
