Chapter 157: Shocking News on the Streets
Xu Zai'an didn't speak again along the way, she didn't speak, Gu Tongye and Mu Xiu had no strength to speak, they only supported each other and walked forward step by step-
Everyone walked for about an hour and a half, and finally saw the light, and when they heard the voice, Huawu and the others who were guarding the entrance of the cave came over.
The sunlight was too dazzling, Gu Tongye and Mu Xiu blocked their eyes at the same time, and slowly opened them after a while.
"Miss Gu's injury is not light."
The playful voice came, with a characteristic languidness.
Gu Tongye turned her head to look at the gloating Huawu, the tiredness on her body made her no longer in any mood to quarrel with him.
"Hua Gongzi, it's not necessarily safe here, I think it's better for us to leave as much as possible." Mu Xiu glanced at the birch in displeasure, and tightened the arm that hugged Gu Tongye.
He didn't like the way the man spoke to Li'er.
Hua Wu smiled indifferently, "What Mu Gongzi said is extremely true. ”
Hua Wu prepared a carriage for Gu Tongye and the others, right at the entrance of the cave.
Gu Tongye propped up her body and turned around to thank the woman named Zai'an, but saw that she was standing beside Huawu, the two lowered their heads and said something, Huawu was still full of indifferent smiles, Xu Zai'an's eyes kept falling on Huawu's face, and the gaze was very gentle.
A woman's sixth sense is always surprisingly keen, Gu Tongye knew it in her heart, and she didn't bother the two, she just pulled Mu Xiu into the carriage.
The half-old carriage gurgled through the trees, not very fast, and turned into the jungle.
Xu Zai'an, who was chatting with Huawu, inadvertently glanced in the direction where the carriage left, but saw that the carriage disappeared in the blink of an eye, and immediately looked surprised.
Birch Wu noticed her distraction and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and smile.
At the same time, there were two groups of people at the bottom of the cliff where one person was barren, the first wave was a group of killers dressed in night clothes, their whereabouts were strange, armed with sharp weapons, their group of people were looking for something everywhere on the edge of the cliff, and finally found two unrecognizable corpses among the grass, and before they could take a closer look, the second wave of people came to the cliff.
"My lord, judging from the size and clothing of that corpse, there is no doubt that it should be Gu Tongye and her guards." A killer whispered.
"Well, retreat quickly, don't make more trouble." The killer, known as the adult, nodded and quietly left the bottom of the cliff with his men.
The other group found the broken carriage at the bottom of the cliff, as well as the two broken and unidentified bodies, and the desperate news plunged everyone into a dead silence.
Three days later, Kyoto
Kyoto is located in the north, and even though it is past the coldest part of winter, Ken'an is still bitterly cold.
The smell of gunpowder above the court is getting stronger and stronger, this morning, because of the snow disaster in Jiangzhou, the king of Annan and the prime minister openly tore their faces, and the king of Annan even ignored the identity of the prime minister and the elder of the three dynasties, and made many disrespectful remarks, threatening to faint in the old minister's anger, but fortunately, in the end, the queen Feng spoke in time to mediate and chose the opinion of the king of Annan, which stopped this dispute.
Mu Hu sat in his carriage angrily, remembering the arrogant appearance of Puyang Jingqin above the court, he suddenly blew his beard and glared angrily, picked up the book next to him and flipped through a few pages, but finally felt depressed, and threw the book down again.
Tapping on the wooden door of the carriage, Mu Hu shouted angrily, "Stop, park, park." ”
When Mu Wen, who was driving the car, heard this, he immediately drove the carriage to the side of the road and stopped.
"My lord, it's freezing this day, if you have something to tell the little one to go, don't freeze your body." Seeing that Mu Hu was about to get off the carriage when he pushed the door, Mu Wen was startled and hurriedly stopped and persuaded him.
Mu Hu pushed Mu Wen away with an unhappy palm, and said angrily, "Get out of the way, the old body still wants you to be a slave to talk nonsense!" ”
Seeing that his master got out of the carriage without looking back, Mu Wen secretly complained that he was miserable, so he had to entrust the carriage to his little apprentice to take care of it, and he quickly chased after the master.
The cold wind blew on his face, and it hurt like a knife. Even in his arms, his hands still felt cold.
"Sir, walk slowly, there are a lot of people on this street, don't be hit by someone who doesn't have long eyes." Mu Wen carefully guarded Mu Hu's side, his rickety body looked extremely thin in the crowd, but his cloudy eyes were extremely sharp.
Mu Hu walked slowly on the street, she looked at the street stalls from time to time, and from time to time she squinted at the shops on both sides, aimlessly, as if she was really just strolling around.
Knowing that his master was in a bad mood today, Mu Wen didn't dare to speak anymore, so he only lowered his head and cautiously followed his master.
Jiandu is the capital of Jiuzhao Kingdom, and people come and go on the streets, rubbing shoulders, and it is inevitable that you will always meet one or two people who are not long-sighted. If he was young before, Mu Wen would definitely break the hands of these guys and give them to the yamen for disposal.
But perhaps now that she is older, she has compassion for the little beggar in her hand, who is trembling with fear, "Hand over the things!" ”
The little beggar was dirty, and he didn't know where to pick up a piece of clothing, and the big one wrapped his whole body, he was very thin, and he only needed Mu Wen to push lightly, and he fell far away.
"I don't know what you're talking about." The little beggar stared at his round eyes, gritted his teeth and refused to admit it.
"You dare to be stubborn, I obviously saw that you stole it, little beggar, if you don't hand it over, I will send you to the yamen." Mu Wen frowned dissatisfiedly and threatened.
The little beggar was obviously trembling with fright, but he still had a bad attitude and quibbled, "I don't know, I don't know, don't wronged good people." ”
Mu Wen gritted his teeth angrily, and wanted to punch the little beggar so that his parents didn't know him.
"Mu Wen forget it, it's just some broken silver, just give it to him." Mu Hu glanced at the torn cloth shoes on the little beggar's feet, which were still stained with blood.
When Mu Wen heard this, although he was not angry in his heart, he was no longer a young and vigorous little girl, and he couldn't afford to contradict his master for this matter, so he nodded and smiled at the little beggar and said, "Count your kid lucky today, next time you make a move, you have to look at the right person, don't lose your life without stealing the money." ”
"I won't, my life is hard!" When the little beggar saw that he had relieved the crisis, he immediately bared his teeth and grinned, made a grimace at Mu Wen and immediately ran into the crowd.
Mu Hu shook his head, this is really naughty!
Seeing that the two wronged heads turned around and walked into a shop, the little beggar hiding in the corner patted his chest and exhaled, thinking of the silver ingot in his arms, he was immediately proud, "I can't get used to rich people like you, what's wrong with being rich, and in the end it must not fall into my hands uncle, hum!" ”
The little beggar took out the money bag in his arms, poured the silver in it into the palm of his hand, and was about to count how much money he had, but when he saw a golden and shiny gold ingot, his mouth suddenly grew up, and he was surprised and delighted, "I am rich, I am going to be rich, hahaha, gold?" It's gold, I'm going to get rich, haha......"
The little beggar put the gold ingot between his teeth in disbelief and bit it hard until his teeth were about to be broken, and then he finally believed that he had gone out of shit luck today.
"Sir, go slowly, welcome to come back next time."
Hearing the voice, the little beggar subconsciously looked over there, and happened to see the two wronged heads walking out of the shop, and just as the old woman was going down the steps, suddenly a crippled man with a cloak on his head slammed into her.
The collision frightened her old servant and threw the lame man out.
The little beggar shuddered, lest the old servant find out, and immediately pulled out his legs and went into the alley.
"Mu Wen, stop!" Mu Hu drank and stopped the angry Mu Wen.
Mu Wen returned to Mu Hu's side unwillingly, worrying about Mu Hu's arm, "How are you, my lord?" ”
Mu Hu snorted coldly and glared at Mu Wen, "How old are you and still so angry, your master and I are not dead, what do you care about a lame person." ”
Mu Wen didn't dare to anger his master, so he had to respond "yes" again and again, leaving the cripple who didn't have long eyes behind.
By the time the two finished speaking, the lame man had long since disappeared.
"It's pretty fast." Mu Wen was secretly annoyed.
Mu Hu rubbed the part that was hurt by the lame, and he lost the interest of going shopping, and waved his sleeves, "Go back." ”
Mu Wen couldn't ask for it, and immediately followed his master back to the location of his parked carriage.
The little beggar got a windfall today, and his heart blossomed, and he was thinking that he would go to the drunken fairy building to buy a roasted crispy drunken duck with a good mouthful, and then go to the ready-to-wear shop to buy a padded jacket, and it was best to buy a quilt, it didn't matter if it was old, as long as it could keep warm, and to buy a new pair of shoes, the pair under his feet could no longer be worn, and the soles of his feet had several bloody cuts, stepping on the cold ground, and every step hurt as if he wanted his life.
"How's it going?"
The little beggar paused, and he seemed to hear someone talking?
"Don't worry, since that lord recommended me to your master, I will naturally spare no effort to help your master ascend to that place."
"Hmph, I hope so, but when did the effect kick in?"
"Your master can attack it whenever he wants."
When the little beggar heard this, he finally realized that he seemed to know some terrible news, and he instinctively reacted to hide, and he didn't dare to come out, and his heart was beating violently.
"Of course, it's the fastest and the best!"
"Truly...... Yes, but please don't forget the conditions we have agreed in advance. ”
"As long as my master can ascend to that place, not to mention a few little-known people, even if it is Mu Jinyue, as long as you open your mouth, it can be left to you in the end!"
"Good, bold! Let your master rest assured that my Yan Sanniang will live up to her expectations. ”
Then the two of them said some more words and left one after the other, and after waiting in the corner of the wall their feet were numb, and there was no sound around them, and the little beggar shivered and poked his head out to look over there, and saw that the corner was empty, and the little beggar sat on the ground with his buttocks, and was afraid after stroking his chest.
"No, I've got to get back to my kennel, Mom, I'm scared to death." The little beggar ran out of the alley with a roll, and the drunken duck and cotton clothes didn't bother to buy them, so he only bought dozens of buns at the intersection and fled to his nest in a hurry.
