Chapter 986: Something Urgent
Many people wanted to see where this jade girl was sacred, who would have thought that no matter where they tracked it from, they didn't find her whereabouts. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Since Mu Ze dared to speak, he knew that there must be advantages and disadvantages to this matter, and the Jade Xiao Gongzi was not without enemies in the rivers and lakes, and it would not be good if Yuan Jinyu fell into their hands.
So he sent someone to erase Yuan Jinyu's whereabouts, plus Yuan Jinyu returned to Beijing with Xiao Cheng, no one could have imagined that the prince of Yu Xiao was actually a member of the imperial court, so he didn't dare to come.
So Yuan Jinyu was quite calm all the way before he arrived in that village.
The only regret is that the letter from Ginkgo biloba and Red Leaf was not handed over to her, but was handed to Hengzhen, and when the letter caught up again, Yuan Jinyu had already arrived in the village she was going to.
The village is called Stone Village, and it is also in a very remote mountain col, very far from the official road.
If it weren't for Yuan Jinyu's turn, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to get here.
Because she wanted to explore the village, she first asked Xiao Cheng to prepare a map for her, and after setting up camp at night, she looked at it herself in the tent.
For the march, Yuan Jinyu basically stayed on "talking on paper", read too many books, and she needed to apply what she had learned a little bit.
Let Yelan light an oil lamp for herself, and when Yuan Jinyu was studying seriously alone, Xiao Cheng actually came in from outside the tent.
Seeing Yuan Jinyu's appearance, Xiao Cheng also thought it was very interesting: "Looking at the current appearance of the princess, it doesn't look like a tour of the mountains and rivers, but like a march and a war somewhere." ā
In fact, the map here is not too complicated, Yuan Jinyu blinked, recalled it from his mind, and was already able to remember all the details inside.
So she slowly rolled up the map, raised her head and smiled at Xiao Cheng: "This palace is supposed to be going to war." After that, she also told Xiao Cheng about her understanding of the map: "This mountain village is too closed, and there is only one way into the mountain, but whenever there are suspicious outsiders entering, they will be suspicious, because the city lord of Dongcheng has already scared the snake once, so I am afraid that this time they will also hide those women like before." ā
In fact, when it comes to those women, Yuan Jinyu also feels quite helpless. If they are like people from other places, they want to be trapped in this mountain for the rest of their lives, maybe they don't care.
But she can't even see them in person, so how can she make decisions for them?
So Yuan Jinyu went to see them, and it was imperative. Now she looked at Xiao Cheng: "I wonder if Lord Xiao has any tricks?" ā
Xiao Cheng stretched out his hand to Yuan Jinyu, and Yuan Jinyu handed the map to Xiao Cheng in a good manner, and then saw Xiao Cheng pointing slightly at it: "The terrain here is really inconvenient to go around, so let's make it easy to accommodate local people tomorrow and mix in." ā
Yuan Jinyu thought about their accents and had some trade-offs in his heart. It would definitely not be possible to enter the village with such a face as her, but if she was disguised, presumably those people would not recognize her.
But this alone is not enough, Yuan Jinyu still has to have a second preparation.
After resting for a night, Yuan Jinyu changed his face with the help of Xiao Cheng, because Xiao Cheng wanted to pay attention to the movements in the mountain and send troops to close the mountain at the right time, so Xiao Cheng did not go along.
There is only one who follows Yuan Jinyu on the bright side, and Yelan is the only one. Compared with Yuan Jinyu, Yelan's appearance is much safer, and she doesn't need to be disguised.
Of course, Yuan Jinyu will not disguise himself into a beauty, if he is still like the watery and bright appearance in the nameless village before, it will be strange if he is not looked at by the bad guys. Therefore, Yuan Jinyu is a middle-aged woman, and her appearance is not half outstanding.
It was a long walk from where they had set up camp to the village. Yuan Jinyu and Yelan took the carriage to the place where the carriage couldn't go, so they walked towards the mountain with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Although he had experienced a lot of things with Mu Ze before, and understood how hateful it was to abduct and sell women, Yuan Jinyu knew that changing this status quo could not be done overnight.
She can only do what she can to help more people.
The territory of the Great Zhou is also a little strange, although it is the most powerful of the surrounding countries, the capital is the hinterland, and there must be some distance from other countries.
However, the Northland, the Xisha Regions, the Southern Frontier and the Eastern Regions are all adjacent to the enemy. This is the hinterland of the Great Zhou, but from here to the Eastern Regions, if you calculate carefully, it will not take long.
After He Yelan stepped on the mountain road, Yuan Jinyu knew that he needed to face it alone.
The only thing you don't have to worry about is safety, after all, when Mu Ze left, he left a few secret guards for himself, and now they should all be with him.
Xiao Cheng was stationed in the place where the team was stationed, with his hands behind his back, looking in the direction where Yuan Jinyu left, and his face was also very solemn.
At that time, he shouldn't have listened to Yuan Jinyu, just send her a little more entourage.
And after Yuan Jinyu went up the mountain, the news also spread to the capital. Mu Ze was not in King Ning's Mansion at that time, and recently there were two city defenses in the capital that needed to be replaced, and the emperor didn't want to see him, so he went to these places and urged the soldiers to change their defenses.
Mu Ling had sent him a message before, saying that although the emperor minded that Mu Ze was too ruthless to the king of Chu this time, after all, it was also the king of Chu who took the blame for himself, even if the emperor was reluctant in his heart, he would not let Mu Ze not participate in the court politics for too long, so that Mu Ze would not feel uncomfortable in his heart.
Although Mu Ze didn't reply anything, he thought about it carefully, and there was really nothing uncomfortable about it. He went to southern Xinjiang at such a young age, and it was only a few years after he returned to Beijing, so it is said that after getting married, the emperor should give him an edict and let him go back to southern Xinjiang.
When he was in southern Xinjiang, he didn't participate in any government politics, and now there is just a military department in his hands, if the emperor is still not at ease with him, it would be good to take the power at any time, anyway, he is not a person who covets power.
And when he was urging the change of guard, he quickly whipped up his horse and told Mu Ze about Yuan Jinyu only taking Yelan and a few secret guards to the stone village.
Mu Ze was originally in the capital, looking forward to the stars and the moon and looking forward to Yuan Jinyu's return, who knew that after she was in a hurry, she would be able to go around somewhere else.
So Mu Ze asked helplessly: "What's the matter in Stone Village, which has to be solved by the princess herself?" Did the local officials all grow up eating chaff? ā
Thirty lowered his head and replied respectfully to Mu Ze: "It's still the previous human trafficking case, I heard that the officials went several times, but they couldn't save those women, and the princess's team happened to pass by that official road, so the princess is going to take a look......"
The more he talked, the more weak his heart became, because Mu Ze's expression was getting colder and colder, but this time, he didn't sprinkle his anger on Thirty's body, but directly scolded Xiao Cheng: "Xiao Cheng is also a bastard, dare to love a woman who is not his, when he doesn't care at all!" ā
Whenever he encounters Yuan Jinyu, Mu Ze is irritable, and he is used to it in his thirties, anyway, the whole world is at fault, and Mu Ze will not blame Yuan Jinyu for the fault.
So when Mu Ze was a little angry, he stretched out his hand to Thirty: "Give this king a copy of the map, and this king will take a look at where this stone village is." ā
I guessed that Mu Ze would ask for a map thirty years ago, so I was ready, and now I directly handed the map to Mu Ze.
After Mu Ze spread out the map, he looked at it directly on the city wall, and when he saw the terrain of that area, his face became more and more bad.
Thirty also leaned over to take a look, and to be honest, he didn't see anything wrong.
So Thirty asked Mu Ze: "Your Highness, what's the problem over there?" ā
Mu Ze brushed the ground, closed the map, and looked grim: "Why did Jinyu go there!" Hurry up and prepare a horse for this king, this king wants to hurry now! ā
Thirty has been following Mu Ze for so long, and he has heard about any place in this Great Zhou, but that stone village doesn't look like a dangerous place.
So Thirty directly dissuaded: "Your Highness, even if you rush over now, it will take two days and two nights to arrive, I'm afraid it's too late, and now the emperor is staring at you, you should have handled affairs in the capital with peace of mind, if there is no emperor's holy decree, you will go out of the city at will, I'm afraid the emperor will not be easy to explain!" ā
"Yes, if this king goes now, it will be too late. Immediately prepare pen and ink for this king, and this king wants to fly the pigeon to pass the book. Mu Ze commanded directly to Thirty.
When Thirty hurriedly went to prepare the pen and paper, he was still wondering, did His Highness listen to my words, what he clearly said was that the emperor's side was more serious.
But he still quickly prepared the pen and paper, Mu Ze has an eagle, which is specially used to transmit letters on the battlefield, and now Mu Ze tied the written letter directly to the eagle's legs, and then patted its body, and said in a deep voice: "Go." ā
Soon, the eagle flapped its wings, circled in the sky for a while, and then flew into the distance, and gradually lost its sight.
But Mu Ze obviously didn't feel at ease like this, and he sent two pigeons one after another, and handed the news to Xiao Cheng and his secret guard.
It is said that with the army of Secret Guard and Xiao Cheng, Yuan Jinyu will not be in any danger, but he just feels uneasy.
So at night, he went directly to King Rui's Mansion to find Mu Ling, and asked him to take a leave of absence to the emperor for him tomorrow, and he went out of the city overnight.
Fortunately, the official business of changing guards, Mu Ze was completed when he was still in the capital, and the emperor was in the morning of the second day, when he heard Mu Ling and his leave, although he wanted to blame Mu Ze, he couldn't find anyone.
Especially when he mentioned Mu Ze, he could think of the dead King of Chu again, and his mood was depressed.
