This time it was indeed a night without incident, and the next morning, Mo Yuan and Yin Lingyue packed up their things and went downstairs to eat breakfast, and when they were halfway through eating, the four people sitting next to each other were chatting with relish.

"Well, have you heard? Last night, there was a thief in the city lord's mansion. ”

"Wouldn't it? The city lord's mansion is so heavily guarded that not even a fly can fly in, how can he be robbed? ”

"Humph! Can't even fly a fly? Little brother, don't be kidding, it was Qingfeng City in the past, and now...... It's hard to say! ”

"Having said that, I don't know what's going on, our city lord suddenly changed his temperament, and he made a big move at every turn, and carried out a city-wide sweep, and now our Qingfeng City has been made into a panic!"

"It's not, it seems that because the city lord's wife died of illness, the city lord was deeply hit, and his temperament became eccentric, the most unlucky is the Qingcheng Eight Heroes, how majestic and comfortable it used to be, but now it is running and working hard, dusty servants, and there is no respite for a moment, this is not sent out by the city lord to carry out any secrets."

"It's like, if they were, last night's incident wouldn't have happened."

“……”

From their fragmentary conversations, Yin Lingyue and Mo Yuan understood that in their eyes it was a peaceful and peaceful night, but something happened in the City Lord's Mansion, which was bad news for them, the City Lord's Mansion had just happened to such a big thing, and at this moment, it was not heavily guarded, and if they wanted to get in, the difficulty instantly expanded several times.

But what exactly was stolen, the city lord's mansion was tight, how could these ordinary city citizens know. However, from their expressions and the tone of their voices, Mo Yuan knew without guessing that the stolen must be an important object.

Yin Lingyue attached to Mo Yuan's ear and whispered, "Xiao Yuan, what should we do now?" If you can't enter the City Lord's Mansion, you won't be able to inquire about any important news. ”

Mo Yuanxiu furrowed his eyebrows, and then replied in a low voice: "Wait and see." ”

can only wait and see what happens, now the city lord's mansion is heavily guarded, if you are lucky enough to get in, you will inevitably go through a strict scrutiny.

After breakfast, Mo Yuan settled the account and left the inn with Mo Yuan. Qingfeng City is deserted, the doors of most of the shops are closed, the hawkers on the street are nowhere to be found, the ground is messy, and occasionally a gust of wind blows, raising dust, indescribably deserted and depressed.

Yin Lingyue saw a hurried lady at this time, and couldn't help asking: "Auntie, wait first, can I ask you something?" ”

The eldest lady stopped, looked at them carefully, and saw that they were kind and extremely watery, not like some bad people, so she said: "This is not the place to speak, my house is in the village not far ahead, if you don't dislike it, go to the old man's house to have a cup of tea." ”

"Wouldn't that be too much trouble?" Yin Lingyue asked cautiously.

"How so? Let's not talk about it yet, let's go. The eldest lady seemed to be in a hurry, and she didn't say much to them, so she took Yin Lingyue's hand and left, and Mo Yuan also followed.

The eldest lady's house is indeed not far away, and it didn't take long to turn into a bluestone paved alley, and at the end of the alley is a rich family, and the family's wealth can be seen just by the external decoration.

However, for Mo Yuan and Yin Lingyue, who have seen the dream of returning to the villa, the style of this family is very sparse and ordinary.

The eldest lady led them into the manor through the back door, and after a while, they arrived at a small blue-tiled house at the back, the eldest lady gasped for breath, and then beckoned Mo Yuan and Yin Lingyue to sit down, and she also sat down not far from the two.

"I see that you little couple look at the noodles, from a foreign country, right?"

The eldest lady didn't go around in circles, and asked directly, but the tone was already seven or eight points affirmative.

Hearing the words "little two", Mo Yuan was instantly embarrassed, while Yin Lingyue was completely different, and didn't seem to mind such a statement, but smiled and said: "Auntie is right, we are indeed from a foreign country, our hometown has suffered from a drought, and there is no harvest, so we have no choice but to get an errand in this Qingfeng City." ”

The eldest lady looked Yin Lingyue up and down carefully, and her eyes flashed with suspicion, obviously not believing it.

Yin Lingyue was born with delicate water, clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and white skin like jade, especially those hands, delicate and fair-skinned, she didn't do any rough work at first glance, and she didn't look like an ordinary peasant girl at all.

Mo Yuan also saw the eldest mother's suspicions, pulled Yin Lingyue's sleeve, and then said: "Yueyue, the eldest lady is not a bad person, and we don't have to hide it." Then he turned to the eldest lady and said apologetically, "Auntie, I'm sorry, Yueyue and I didn't mean to deceive, it's really ...... We're running away, ......."

Mo Yuan didn't expect what to say next, he was a little hesitant, but in the eyes of the eldest mother, he had something unspeakable and inconvenient to explain, so he believed what he said.

Yin Lingyue instantly understood, so she said, "I'm sorry, auntie, we ......"

The eldest lady looked at Yin Lingyue's eyes with a little more love and sympathy, and she comforted Yin Lingyue and said: "Girl, don't say anything, what a touching thing it is for young people to dare to pursue their own happiness." But then again, it's really unfortunate that you guys are here, there was a big incident in Qingfeng City last night, and I have been checking door to door all night, and now I haven't finished checking yet? It is not easy for you to come to beg for a living now. ”

Yin Lingyue's eyebrows were tightly twisted, and her face was embarrassed, "We were in too much of a hurry when we left home, and now the coils on our bodies have been exhausted, if we continue like this, it won't be long before we will ......" Yin Lingyue said this, and suddenly sobbed, and the tears were connected into a string, and they dripped on the ground.

Mo Yuan hurriedly hugged her, and Yin Lingyue fell into Mo Yuan's arms, rubbing her tears on Mo Yuan's clothes. Although he knew that Yin Lingyue was just acting, seeing Yin Lingyue crying silently, Mo Yuan was still distressed.

When the eldest lady saw this scene, she was touched by the feelings between them, and at the same time she had a lot of sympathy for the poor lovers.

"Okay, you can hide here during this time, don't dare to guarantee anything else, we are here in Liufu, do you know Liufu?"

Mo Yuan shook his head, and Yin Lingyue also came out of Mo Yuan's arms with a pair of red eyes, and his eyes were also full of doubts.

"There are twenty-four deacons in Qingfeng City, and in Qingfeng City, except for the city lord of Qingfeng City, they are the most powerful and have the highest status, and they support each other, and they also restrict each other, are independent of each other, and also have some connections. And this Liufu is the mansion of the first deacon Liu Fengmian, and it is also the largest mansion in Qingfeng City except for the City Lord's Mansion. Therefore, except for the city lord, no one dares to rashly break into Liufu, so you can rest assured. ”

Liu Fengmian? It can't be such a coincidence, right?
