Volume 1: Huangquan December Chapter 96: Unkind to Officials

Originally, the travel restriction order was lifted before the Chung Yeung Festival, but the luggage was delayed. It's not a very important thing, it's just a change of clothes. The more expensive ones are the ones that Shanhai has already brought with her, and the most valuable one is probably Dai Luan's medicine box, which is what Ruyue Jun gave her after all. What's more, the letter has already been sent, and the dart master has been hired, so I'm not in a hurry to find Wan Ghost Zhi anyway, just wait.

After complaining for two days in a row, the dusty dart master finally came. When he went to the hotel to look for them, only Mu Wan was drinking tea downstairs, and the rest of the people went to buy things, she didn't want to go, and happened to catch up with the delivery.

The master was wearing a moon-blue collared gown, but it was a little dirty, and the cuffs of the hem could be seen intermittently embroidered with silver silk auspicious clouds. He was tall, with a jade crown with some long hair, and a lake blue ribbon hung on both sides of the hairpin, and two jade beads with transparent color were tied. The jade crown is quite clean, and eighty percent of it is taken out and worn when it meets guests.

"I'm looking for Rin Shanhai." He said to the front desk bookkeeper.

"Oh, the Taoist is not here. Ask the girl, they're together. ”

Mu Wan heard this conversation and looked over. So the dart master came over with a large bag and a small bag on his back, and unloaded all the goods in front of her. This person looks weak and weak, and he is dressed like a scholar, but he didn't expect to be able to carry things.

"In the lower section of Yue Sheng."

"In Xialiang Qiu Muwan."

"Oh, hello Miss Liang."

"Poof."

Mu Wan's face turned blue for a moment, and when he heard a silly sound, he turned back with Duan Yuesheng and saw the account room covering his mouth, settling the account as if nothing had happened. The two glanced at each other, Duan Yuesheng scratched his head, feeling as if he had said the wrong thing, and he didn't know what was wrong.

"Uh, why don't you count Miss Liang first?"

“……”

Mu Wan didn't say anything, lowered his head and began to pull the package, looking for the documents one by one. The bookkeeper in the distance was frantically lip-syncing at him.

"Beam-mound-"

"What......? Two...... What balls? ”

Seeing that Mu Wan's face was getting more and more ugly, the account room simply closed his mouth.

He looks like a scholar, but he is actually a fool.

“…… No problem. ”

After a while, she held back such a sentence. She wanted to try to explain, but she thought that she wouldn't meet again, so she didn't bother with it. It's just that I didn't expect him to stop shouting, which made people feel very irritable. At this time, he didn't know what Duan Yuesheng smelled, and his nose moved slightly, looking for something.

It wasn't until he inadvertently approached Mu Wan that she pushed his head away fiercely, and the jade crown was crooked.

"Uh, I'm sorry, Miss Liang, I smell a very fragrant smell."

"The kitchen is in the back." She pointed.

"Ahem, that's the girl, our brothers have suffered a lot on the grassland along the way, you see......"

"It's hard work, this cup of tea hasn't been touched yet, and I'm here for you."

I don't know if she really didn't understand or pretended, Duan Yuesheng felt that he had hinted directly.

“…… You see, my knife is broken, can you have pity on me and send me a little. ”

"Allow you to pour another glass," Mu Wan glanced at his waist, "But how can the knife break?" ”

"Whew, it's old in itself, it's all a gap. As a result, I was unlucky, and somehow my brothers ran into those grassland people, and they chased after us and beat us...... The spear of the steppe was heavy and dull, and when it was struck, the sword was broken. It's true, I've heard that they are xenophobic, but I didn't know that they were so vicious. ”

For a while, Mu Wan didn't know what expression to make. Her mood was very complicated, but she didn't dare to say a word, and silently took out a little broken silver from her purse and buckled it on the table.

"Hey, thank you Miss Liang, it's really face-saving."

Please leave quickly, and if you don't leave, I'll report to the official.

When she turned around, the bookkeeper laughed under the table, and she was really angry. Mu Wan looked at the door again, thought about the old scabbard on his waist, and suddenly subconsciously touched his side waist.

Sachet......? No, isn't that a long time gone?

The others returned at noon. They were all very happy to see their respective packages and decided to leave in the afternoon. After lunch, changing horses, they went out of town without a hitch. After walking a few miles, I arrived at another city, Wule City. There was still some time before the sun went down, and a few people casually strolled around, looking for a place to stay.

Walking on the road, Dai Luan suddenly pointed to the northern sky.

"Look, it's still dark there?"

The others looked over and found that the sky was still as dark as night, but there were no stars or moons. If you look closely, it seems that the clouds are pitch black, much thicker than the dark clouds, as if they have been soaked in ink.

"It's weird, isn't it already dawning? Maybe there's something demonic......"

Mu Wan muttered. Seeing that Shanhai was quite interested in going to see it, she hurriedly stopped him and persuaded him to find a house as soon as it was dark.

Compared with Cangyu City in the west, Wule City is also very prosperous, with a lot of traffic, so lively. It's not the most crowded area yet, but the small shops on the edge of the city are doing so well, maybe it's because it's too close to Cangyu City. They asked a few stores, and they were either full or too expensive. Seeing that it was almost dark, they found a small teahouse in a remote corner, with only two floors, and accommodation on top, even then it was extremely expensive.

The signboards of the dishes were not full, and they ordered one for each, but they were reluctant to eat the meat. Fortunately, it's a teahouse, and the tea is still good.

As soon as he stepped into the store, Shi Wuqi sensed a familiar aura, but he couldn't say it. He just sat down a little absent-mindedly and waited for the food to be served. It was just the meal, and even the small teahouse was lively. There were not enough seats, so a mother and son squeezed a table with them. Behind Shi Wuqi, there were originally two tables, but they were both small tables, leaning against the wall. There were two people talking in low voices at one table, seemingly inconvenient to disturb; There was only one person sitting at the other table, a man with a knife, and no one dared to approach him.

The woman was very talkative, and at first glance she saw that they were strangers, and soon began to talk with the child in her arms.

"If my eldest son is still here, he may be taller than this girl." The woman pointed to Dai Luan.

"Your son, is it a business trip, or is it a ......"

"It's dead, it's been a long time," she showed a relieved smile, "He was still young, and he went to learn erhu with the troupe...... Eight years ago, the castle lord swept the geisha and persecuted his master, and he went to pick people's legs, was kicked away, and hit his head on the steps. ”

"This ......" Shanhai's throat was a little uncomfortable, "this, well, but why is the city ......?"

"Ah, I almost forgot to say, you come here, but don't sing or play any musical instruments. This command is still pressed on people's heads. ”

Mu Wan asked, "What order?" ”

"There is no music in the city without music. When the former city lord was in power, it was called Wule City, and he liked music very much. So everyone in the city likes musical instruments, and they will play and sing something. Unexpectedly, he was assassinated by a musician, although the person has been caught, but the city lord is gone. The current lord of the city, his son, was forced to learn everything when he was a child, and he hated vocal music very much, and when this happened, he gave a death order, destroyed all the musical instruments in the city, and did not let them learn, and all the descendants of musicians were not allowed to be officials. In addition, the investigation and handling of the case of the relevant person has affected many people. ”

"Ridiculous!"

"Shhhhh......h Who would have thought he was coming for real? His father and grandfather are too obsessed with musical instruments, and he doesn't know anything about reading and being a man and solving cases to govern the city. In addition, when those orders were executed, many people declared personal vendettas or interests, and killed many people by mistake. The guys and skills that have been saved for generations are all gone......"

Although Shi Wuqi was a little distracted, these words were also heard in his ears. He was also a little puzzled and felt that this matter was extremely ridiculous. He glanced at the mountains and seas, and his expression was very solemn. So a few people immediately realized that he was thinking about Jiyuejun.

Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and it's ironic.

"However, no one on the road was in a good mood and hummed two little songs. Otherwise, I'll be arrested immediately. ”

Shi Wuqi said a witty remark, and everyone at the table smiled heavily. In addition to what the woman had said, he heard two men at the next table bowing their heads and muttering something. His ears are good, and he hears them. It is said that there is a theater building in the north of the city - it used to be, but now it is not - it is called Hanying Building, which was burned down. The fire lasted three days and three nights, and was extinguished early this morning. When people walk in, the floor creaks and will collapse at any time, and they dare not go upstairs. The body could not be found inside, only the vaguely mutilated, humanoid silhouette had become carbon, shattered at the slightest touch, let alone moved out. The building was still smoking, turning the entire sky black.

What's even more strange is that except for the Hanying Building, every grass and tree on the side is intact, and it has not splashed any Mars.

When he was halfway through listening, Xiao Er served food next door. The shop is a little cramped, and the chopsticks that are not discarded have been accidentally touched. He wanted to call someone to change, but seeing that they were all busy, he got up and went to the counter at the door to get it himself. Once he had his chopsticks in hand, he turned his head and walked back to his place, passing by a customer who had walked out of the store.

It was a pair of resolute, amber eyes. Wu Qi suddenly stopped, he turned around, and saw the tail hair tied up at the back of the man's head, and felt more and more familiar.

Especially the ominous aura that emanates from him. Some of them are actually somewhat similar to those on Mu Wan's body.

Compared with the impression, this atmosphere is more sophisticated, a little more decisive, a little more decisive, and a little ...... A little violent.

Shi Wuqi was very concerned, but it was obviously not appropriate to chase him out like this. He took the chopsticks and sat back in his place, picking up the dishes. The child sitting in the mother's arms across from him was staring at him stupidly with big round eyes. So, he gestured with a smile.

Suddenly, a smile froze on his face.

He remembered—remembered, the man, he had indeed seen.
