It was getting dark, and Duanmu Jing finally rushed back to the inn.
Previously, he left Leizhou ahead of everyone else because he had something to do.
"Take me to see the young master."
Seeing that his face was a little solemn, Mu Ji knew that his trip was not going well, so he didn't bother to ask more questions and led him straight to Duan Muyu's guest room.
Duanmuyu was a good book reader. Even when he was traveling, whenever he had free time, he would borrow pen and paper from the store to write a few words.
Life is like a goose passing by, and I dare not let the blue clouds pass me by.
There are many pieces of paper scattered on the temporarily put together desk, and the cross is written on them.
"How is it?" Duanmuyu lowered his head and asked with a smile. He was writing to the last word "cloud".
Duanmu Jing took a deep breath, bowed slightly and replied, "I haven't finished my business in the capital yet. Duanmu Jing really has no face to see the emperor."
If Duan Muyu hadn't told him before leaving that he must come back before the seventh day of December to answer his orders, he would never have dared to leave the capital like this.
"I'm asking you how do you like these words?" Duanmuyu put down the pen in his hand, gently picked up the words he had just written, and handed them to him.
Duanmu bowed and took it, looked at it carefully, and whispered: "Life is like a goose passing by, and I dare not let the blue clouds pass me by."
After Xuanzhou separated from the Yufeng Escort Bureau and the Yan family, Xu Jinye went all the way south, one person and one horse, stopping and going.
The scenery along the way was so beautiful that he often sat anywhere for half a day. During this period, on a whim, I competed with the snowbirds on their feet several times, and each time we chased each other for dozens of miles. Although the days are free and unrestrained, I am with the horse all day long, which makes me feel somewhat lonely.
"Chengguan? I have already arrived at Tanzhou City Gate!" Xu Jinye looked at the ancient city gates in front of him and sighed softly, "Leave the city and go south, and you will reach Jue Kingdom."
At this time, the sky has darkened, and the city gate will be closed in a short time.
Without thinking too much, he gently drove his horse out of the city gate.
After walking less than five miles, I saw a young man in ragged clothes running hard with bare feet in front of him, and kept shouting——
"Wait for me! Dad, wait for me! I don't dare anymore!"
As the afterglow faded, a trace of red hung on the top of the mountain in the west. The shouts of the boy in ragged clothes became more and more sad, which sounded really scary in this desolate suburb.
"Dad, I don't dare anymore. Just wait for me! Wait for me!"
The young man ran so fast that he stepped into a pit in the road and fell to the ground. However, he ignored the pain and hurriedly climbed up, limping forward and trotting forward.
"Daddy, daddy~~~No! Don't leave me here! I'm afraid!"
His voice was full of regret and fear, and Xu Jinye couldn't help but feel pity when he listened from behind.
"Come up, I'll give you a lift." He drove his horse to catch up with the young man and said softly, "Your foot is injured and you can't catch up."
After listening to Xu Jinye's words, the young man thanked him with all his strength and wanted to get on the horse, but failed to get on after several attempts.
"I'll pull you up!" He stretched out his hand and pulled the boy in ragged clothes behind him. "You hold on to my robe, and I'll ride faster."
The boy in ragged clothes tightly grasped Xu Suye's back hem and said happily: "Okay! Okay! My father is driving an ox cart, and you will definitely see it on the road."
The snow-prey horse is very understanding of human nature, and it galloped away without waiting for its master to pick up the reins.
After Yi Qilin and Yan Qinhe settled in the Xu family, the first thing they did was to ask a welcoming deacon about the residence of Suxin Palace and his party.
"Brother Yan, will you come with me?" Yi Qilin smiled and called Yan Qinhe Road, "On the ninth day of September, Brother Qinru came on your behalf. You have never met Palace Master Yun."
Although Yun Xiaomeng is much younger than the two of them, he is still the leader of the sect and is considered their equal. Moreover, Su Xin Palace is a powerful sect that has existed for a century. In terms of martial arts and influence in the world, she is not inferior to Yi and Yan.
"Okay, let's go with Brother Yi to meet this heroine." Yan Qinhe replied with a smile.
The two were chatting and walking, but they met Yun Xiaomeng at the entrance of the corridor.
"Senior Yi! I think this is Senior Yan!" Yun Xiaomeng said hello, "It seems that Xiaomeng's arrival is a little unlucky. You two are going out?"
She learned from her disciples that the Yufeng Escort Agency and the Yan family had arrived, so she hurried over and saw the two old men Yi and Yan walking out. She also told them that they were going to visit the owner of this place, Xu Xiaoyi.
"Haha, that's not a coincidence, it's such a coincidence!" Yi Qilin stroked his beard and laughed, "Brother Yan and I were about to go find you, but we ran into you here."
Yun Xiaomeng understood and said with a smile: "There is no reason to let seniors take over. Xiaomeng is a junior, so he should take the initiative to visit you two."
Yi Qilin smiled, said no more polite words, and said seriously: "Let's go inside and have a detailed chat."
Duanmu Jing slowly talked about what happened in the capital, while Duanmuyu just nodded slowly and did not interrupt to ask questions.
When he came back in a hurry without finding a chance to attack Xia Chengyi, Duanmuyu finally spoke: "We were able to succeed easily last time because of an inside job and surprise. Now, Xia Chengxuan is just a sister, her bodyguard It is definitely more comprehensive than the previous Jaw Prince's Mansion. It is normal that you have no chance to take advantage of it for a while. Since we have left people there, there is no need for you to stay any longer."
Duanmu Jing still looked disappointed and continued: "Xia Chengxuan sent Xia Chengcan to move the White Army's garrison to Binan. It seems that General Mu's actions have worried them."
"That's natural." Duan Muyu said with a smile, "Anyone else would be unable to sit still. Where is Xia Chenghuan? Didn't the little emperor ask him to do something?"
"This year, the weather in Dahua has been good, and the harvest is generally bumper. It is expected that the revenue will increase by 20 to 30%. However, when Xia Chengxuan came to the throne, he announced to the world that the winter harvest would be halved, so the food collected by the Ministry of Household Affairs was actually 30 to 40% less than in previous years. Xia Chenghuan was ordered to raise military rations , I went to Fuyang County three days ago, presumably to buy rice from private grain merchants." Duanmu reported respectfully.
"Haha, the three sons of the three kings of Dahua really have a bit of a "younger than the old and better than the old" flavor." Duanmuyu said with a smile, "Where are the people from Xianma?"
"Everything has been taken care of, and we have grasped their handle. I believe they should know what to do when they return." Duanmu Jing said with a look of admiration, "The emperor's foresight is beyond the reach of his subordinates."
Duanmuyu nodded slightly and continued to ask: "Where is Zhenwu Temple?"
"Back to the Emperor, the old Taoist priest named Qingxuan has not returned to Guanmen and is missing." Duanmu Jing frowned and replied, "My subordinates have made many inquiries, but they have not been able to find any traces of Qingxuan."
Duanmuyu lowered his head, not knowing what his expression was.
"However, my subordinates found out that Mr. Mei who was traveling with us is actually Qingxuan's direct disciple!" Duanmu Jing reported in a deep voice.
Previously, Duanmuyu only knew that a Shenshao camp team and a group of old and young Taoist priests from the Zhenwu Temple were stationed at the Anxian Salt Transportation Bureau all year round. It was also said that Emperor Yonghua was worried about Mei Siyuan's safety, so he sent two elite teams to station at the house. Protecting his family, he never thought that Mei Yuanchen was actually a disciple of Zhenwu Temple.
"Mei Yuanchen is actually Qingxuan's disciple," Duan Muyu clenched his fist tightly and said coldly.
Although the Snow Prey Horse was carrying Xu Jinye and a young man on its back, its speed did not slow down much. After only five or six miles, it saw a crude ox cart approaching in the opposite direction.
"That's my father! My father is here to find me!" The boy in ragged clothes couldn't help crying when he saw the old ox cart.
