Two days later, on March 7, after the garden was properly settled, Mu Yan set off for Jizhou with a small team.

Wading through mountains and rivers all the way, Mu Yan and his team arrived at the Jizhou Administrative Office at dusk on March 9.

The Yamen County Commander who came to greet him was already waiting outside the city gate, and when he was close to the city gate, the team slowed down their speed, and when they saw Mu Yan and his party arriving, they hurriedly greeted them with a smile.

This place is close to the border, and because of the majority of disputes, the city walls have become a little old due to repeated repairs.

Mu Yan jumped off the horse, bowed down and exchanged salutes with the county order, and then went all the way to the magistrate's office from the county order to rest for a while.

The convoy hired by Jiang Liyue followed closely behind him, and as the convoy slowed down, Spruce took the opportunity to remove the curtain from a crack, looked at it for a while, and said to Jiang Liyue: "Childe, we are almost there, the sun is sinking at the moment, why don't we find an inn near the Zhishu first?" ”

After a little more jolting, the carriage entered the city gate, and she thought for a moment and ordered, "Find a safe place, let's put down our burdens and eat first." ”

After the coachman parked the carriage properly, Spruce went down first, lifted the curtain and said inside: "Mu Gongzi, it's time to the inn." ”

Jiang Liyue lost her support and still walked out neatly, which made Spruce look sideways slightly.

is accustomed to seeing Jiang Liyue's gorgeous appearance, and now he went to Jizhou this time, in order to hide people's eyes, he made a man's appearance all the way. Jiang Liyue wore a bamboo green round-necked robe and tied her hair with a jade crown, but she really had the appearance of a child.

Although they were in a foreign land, Spruce acted properly, and found an inn not far from the office, and the alley to it was narrow, and the two walked for a while to reach the outside of the inn.

Jiang Liyue stood outside the inn, raised her eyes and looked at the plaque, which was embedded with a few big characters of Yulin Inn, she paused slightly before walking inside.

It happened that someone came on a rampage, and the spruce subconsciously took Jiang Liyue to his side, but it was already a step too late, and he suddenly retreated several steps straight down due to the huge impact, and even the spruce fell to the ground together.

Jiang Liyue subconsciously used her palm to prop up the ground, at this moment her palm was covered with starry bloodstains, and after the spruce came back to her senses, she hurriedly walked to her side, dragged her palm and carefully observed the injury: "Little... Xiao Gongzi, where are you still hurting? ”

There was a real pain when she fell, and after exclaiming, she felt that her body was light, her jade white fingertips subconsciously touched her waist, only to find that the jade plate that Mu Yan had given her before had suddenly disappeared, and she subconsciously exclaimed: "Oops, spruce, my jade plate is lost." ”

Spruce's attention shifted for a moment, remembering that the man who was coming just now did have some behavior, and hurriedly lifted his skirt and got up to chase out, a black shadow walked to Spruce very quickly, blocked the way, and said lightly: "Take care of your son-in-law, I will recover the jade plate for you." ”

Before the spruce could react, the black shadow disappeared again, she turned her mind and helped Jiang Liyue, who was half-lying on the ground, to help her up, and asked quietly, "Miss, are you still injured elsewhere?" ”

Jiang Liyue only shook her head, her mind focused on the black shadow of Fang Cai, and let the spruce help sit on the square chair, after the spruce confirmed that Jiang Liyue's body was fine, she called the person running in the store to fetch the ointment for her.

After paying some fine silver, Spruce accepted the ointment and applied it carefully for Jiang Liyue, and when the blood stains were all gone, Spruce saw that Jiang Liyue did not come back to his senses, and his eyes were full of worry: "Son, if you are scared?" Why don't I send someone to take us home tomorrow? ”

Jiang Liyue hurriedly pressed the spruce that wanted to go out, and said earnestly: "Silly girl, I'm fine, you can quickly let me have some food, I just care about the jade plate on my body, and I'm worried about losing it." ”

As for the fact that the jade plate was left by Mu Yan to her as a talisman, Spruce didn't know anything about it.

Although there were doubts, the spruce still ran to the hall according to Jiang Liyue's instructions and served a few side dishes, although the environment was not as good as Kyoto, but Jiang Liyue was already hungry after a bumpy road, and she ate very happily.

When Jiang Liyue finished dinner, the person who threatened to recover the jade plate for her had not returned, she was occasionally a little anxious, and looked out of the door frequently, but there was no trace, Spruce thought of the tiring journey on the way, paused for a while, and said: "Son, if you go back to the room to rest first, the slave is waiting here, if the person comes back later, I will definitely get the jade card back for you." ”

The jade plaque really meant a lot to her, she shook her head seriously, and the spruce saw that she was unwilling to compromise, so she didn't force it anymore, and the two waited together in the position for half a burnt incense before finally hearing a sound outside the door.

Jiang Liyue's glass-colored apricot eyes suddenly brightened a little, looking at the spruce, the spruce hurriedly got up and walked out the door, seeing that the figure was very similar to the black shadow just now, he bowed slightly, and asked respectfully: "May I ask the son, but you just want to find the jade plate for my son-in-law?" ”

As soon as Spruce's words fell, the man shook the jade plaque in his hand in front of Spruce, and then asked, "But this one?" ”

Spruce carefully identified it, and after making sure that it was no different from the piece lost on Jiang Liyue's body, he responded: "It's this piece, thank you for your help, our son-in-law is in front, he must want to thank him in person, why don't you come with me?" ”

I thought that the people who had never known my life would help in time, and I should express my gratitude in person, but the person who helped only shook his head and said with a smile: "If you are destined to meet, what a lot of effort, the girl will return the jade card to your son-in-law." ”

After Spruce reached out and took the jade plate handed by the man, he saw that he was about to leave, so he hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask the name of the son?" ”

The man had turned his back, leaving a cold silhouette, and waved his hand in a dashing manner: "In the next surname night." ”

Seeing that the spruce frowned back, Jiang Liyue's heart also fell to the bottom together, and asked with the last trace of hope: "Hasn't the son who found the jade plate for me returned yet?" Why have you been here for so long? ”

If Jiang Liyue hadn't been frightened, she would have gotten up early and stepped forward to check the situation in person.

Spruce placed the slightly cool jade plate wrapped in his palm on the table, Jiang Liyue's face was happy, and Spruce continued: "The jade card was found, but the son didn't leave his name, only told me that his surname is Ye, but there are so many Ye surnames in the world, how can I guess it." ”

Jiang Liyue, who was like regaining a treasure, couldn't put it down and held the jade plate to observe, the jade was shining brightly under the dim light, not like ordinary jade, it was indeed the original Mu Yanyu's piece, but she did not observe it so carefully at that time, and she did not find that this jade plate was very different from the ordinary jade plate, and it was still slightly cool to the touch on the fingertips.

Hearing that Spruce mentioned the Ye family, Jiang Liyue inexplicably thought of the well-mannered Ye Lingwei: "You say, will that son's surname have some relevance to the current queen?" ”

Seeing that Jiang Liyue only smiled and didn't answer, Spruce suddenly woke up and exclaimed, "Could it really be such a coincidence?" ”

Jiang Liyue couldn't find any clues at the moment, shook her head, and the words in front of her were just speculations: "What is the temperament of that son?" Is there an entourage to follow? ”

If you add brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes, you may be able to find clues from it, after all, there are only a few people who are famous in Jizhou.

The situation was critical, and Spruce only looked at the person's clothes in a rough way, and he left before he even saw the person's face, so she was not very sure: "The clothes on the body can't reveal the luxury, but the martial arts are profound, there should be no such coincidence in the world, tomorrow has to be early, the son might as well go back to the room as soon as possible to rest." ”

Today's episode made Jiang Liyue particularly profound because of the loss of the jade plate, and seeing that the spruce was full of traces of concern, she nodded.

Jiang Liyue went back to the room to take a bath, and rested early after being served by the spruce to change clothes.

In the early morning of the next day, thinking that she needed to keep up with the pace of Mu Yan's troops, Jiang Liyue did not dare to sleep all night, and there were signs of waking up before dawn.

She closed her clothes and went to bed, and the spruce immediately dissipated her sleepiness when she heard the movement, hurriedly bypassed the screen and entered the back room, rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked confusedly, "Miss will no longer sleep anymore?" It is not yet dawn, and I will not get up so early, I have inquired with the people of the office, and I will not set off until the hour. ”

Saying that, Spruce looked out of the sky: "It's only time now." ”

Jiang Liyue walked to the table and sat down on the square stool, put her jade hand on her cheek, and instructed: "You lit a candle for me, find some paper and pencils, and then you go to sleep." ”

There was absolutely no reason for the master to wake up the slave and then sleep, the spruce was tired, and immediately found some paper and pen for Jiang Liyue, and lit the lamp that was extinguished in the candlestick in the house, and the room lit up for a while.

Jiang Liyue spread a piece of rice paper on the case, held the wolf hair again, and said to the spruce who was waiting on the side: "You go to rest again, I don't need you to serve me now." ”

The spruce only stood still and did not go out: "Why don't I study ink for the county lord?" Anyway, it's not far from Chenshi. ”

"It's okay, I'm afraid I'll have to fight a tough battle today, if you don't have the spirit, who will I rely on to support me." Jiang Liyue's persistent wolf tone was unquestionable.

Spruce froze in place for a moment: "The county lord must call me." ”

After Jiang Liyue nodded, the spruce walked out, but after all, he didn't go far, and rested on a small chair separated by a screen.

The silence in the house fell, and a few cicadas could occasionally be heard outside, and the gloom of Jizhou for several days subsided, and the sun gradually showed signs of passing through the clouds.

When the hour was approaching, Jiang Liyue separated the wolf on the inkstone and called the spruce outside into the house to serve her to freshen up.

On the other hand, Mu Yan got up early in the morning, and after confirming that everything was ready, he whispered a few words before the team set off together.

On this trip, Mu Yan only brought two henchmen who had martial arts background in the past to follow closely by his side, one of them gradually found a little strange halfway through, and said with a worried face: "Master, I always feel that there are people following us here." ”

If it weren't for the fact that the same carriage would always appear at a certain opportunity after these two days, the henchmen would not have been suspicious.

But sometimes the carriage had a clear purpose, and it twisted and wound along their tracks, and although they were walking the same way, he finally felt a little strange.

Mu Yan was worried that his trip would be blocked, so he frowned and glanced back sharply, but he didn't find the carriage.
