Chapter Seventy-Eight: On the Thief Ship

Mu Liangxuan's rising hope was suddenly extinguished by Mu Yu, why didn't he want to report to the official at that time? "Heh, it's only one thousand five hundred taels, I don't care."

He chuckled dryly twice to hide his embarrassment.

Mu Yu was really disgusted with Mu Liangxuan, and he was really upset to see him standing aside, so he took the initiative to talk to Fang Xiao.

Fang Xiao happened to be a person who didn't open which pot he didn't open, and as he spoke, he actually talked about the Southern Xinjiang Holy Maiden, "Miss Mu, you should have heard of the Southern Xinjiang Holy Maiden, then do you know who the Southern Xinjiang Holy Maiden is?" ”

"Miss Eva." Mu Yu replied indifferently, after the marriage, Yi Xue took the initiative to find herself, and she naturally understood everything.

Fang Xiao, who didn't know about this, was impressed by Mu Yu, "Miss Mu is really good eyesight, and she actually recognized Miss Yixue as a saint." You said that the two of you have seen it a long time ago, why didn't anyone tell me, and I was alone in the dark. ”

Mu Yu didn't explain, pursed his lips and smiled slightly.

"Then Miss Mu, you must not know the wedding date of Lin Changjin and Miss Yixue, just five days later." Fang Xiao said with some pride.

"So fast?" Not long has passed since the marriage was given, and they are about to get married so soon?

Xie Chongning glanced sideways slightly, as if he was a little concerned about why Mu Yu was so surprised.

Mu Yu retracted his surprised expression and said gracefully, "I just thought that they got married so soon not long after they got married, so I was a little surprised." ”

"The emperor intends to make peace with southern Xinjiang, and this family affair is naturally as soon as possible." Fang Xiao said with a smile, "That's why I urged the two of you to get married earlier." ”

The topic came back again, and Mu Yu secretly glanced at Xie Chongning beside him, but he didn't seem to hear Fang Xiao's urging, and drank tea by himself.

Mu Yu drank the sour plum soup as she wished, and the weather was cooler than at noon, so she got up to say goodbye, but when she walked to the shore, she didn't see the flower boat she had rented.

"Biyue, where is the flower boat we rented?"

"How could it be that it was stopped here just now?" Biyue didn't know.

"Is this Miss Mu?" Suddenly, a boatman dressed in a gray linen coat walked by, wearing a hat on his head, covering most of his face.

"I am." Mu Yu looked the boat up and down, but this man was wearing cotton shoes on his feet. It stands to reason that the average boatman will choose to wear straw sandals, which are breathable and convenient, and even if they are soaked, they can dry quickly.

The boatman hurriedly bent down and apologized, "Miss Mu is really embarrassed, the boatman you originally rented the flower boat is my younger brother, and he has something at home, so he will go back first, so I will come over to replace him, and I will bear with Miss Mu." ”

"You're going to hold the boat too?" Mu Yu glanced at the man's boat, it was not a flower boat, it was just an ordinary awning boat, with the experience of being knocked into the lake by Li Miaozhen last time, she still has a shadow of the awning boat to this day.

The man nodded hurriedly, "Yes, Miss Mu don't worry, I go down to the lake to catch fish all year round in the summer, and I have been holding this awning boat for more than ten years, and it will definitely be fine." ”

Mu Yu's doubts also existed for a while, Xu is boat family really has something to do, so he found someone to replace him, so he followed the boat family on the canopy boat.

As soon as Xie Chongning walked out of the teahouse, he saw Mu Yu get on the canopy boat, and the boatman walked away with the boat.

"What about the awning boat?" Xie Chongning pointed to the canopy boat and asked the guards guarding the door.

The guard replied respectfully, "The subordinates only heard the boatman say that Miss Mu's original shipowner had something to do, so she was temporarily replaced." ”

Xie Chongning lowered his brows, "Call a canopy boat and follow them." ”

The boatman also has a heart, maybe it is to pick up Mu Yu, so the seats are covered with soft cushions, and it is more comfortable to sit up, Mu Yu sat in the canopy boat, and glanced at the boatman at random, the boatman seemed to sense Mu Yu's gaze, turned sideways slightly, and said enthusiastically, "If Miss Mu is bored, it is better to drink some tea to relieve boredom." ”

Mu Yu responded with a smile and picked up the teacup beside her, but when she touched the tea body with her fingertips, she felt something strange. This teacup looks ordinary, but the body is smooth and delicate, and it is definitely not something that ordinary people are willing to spend money on.

She rubbed the teacup, the suspicion in her heart deepened, she finally remembered that there was something wrong with this boatman, such a boatman, when he saw the young lady and the young master, they all lowered their heads and were silent, not daring to talk.

However, the boatman was extraordinarily cheerful, and he did not speak at all awkwardly, which is difficult for ordinary people to do. After having such suspicions, Mu Yu looked down at the cushion she was sitting on, and she initially thought that this cushion was specially laid for herself by the boatman.

But when she moved, she found that the cushion was sewn on the stool, that is, there was already a cushion on the stool, a small awning boat, that is, a teacup for non-ordinary people, and a cushion specially prepared, and the boatman said that he would fish in the summer, and there was a problem.

"Miss? What are you doing in a daze with a teacup? Biyue tilted her head, very puzzled.

Mu Yu knew that she was on the thief ship, but now the boat is still on the water, and who the boatman is, she doesn't know, even if Biyue can beat the boatman, none of them can row, the two can only float in the lake, and they can't return to the shore.

"Where am I in a daze?" This person is targeting himself, but why is he being targeted? And at this time, it was definitely not a temporary idea, if she had to think about it, she could only think of Mu Liangxuan's three friends, could it be that they found out that it was themselves who were following that day?

If this is the case, then the people waiting on the shore will only be more, and a Biyue will not be their opponent at all.

"By the way, Biyue, I remembered that I ordered pastries in Xinghualou before, and I got off the boat, you can help me get some pastries first." Mu Yu stared at the boatman holding the boat with his spare eyes, but he dipped his well-proportioned fingertips in tea and wrote on the table. "There's something wrong with the boat."

"Miss, when did you order the pastry, why don't I know?" Biyue lowered her head, but saw that the young lady was writing, and just wanted to ask, but Mu Yu half covered her mouth.

Mu Yu replied naturally, "I ordered it yesterday, how come you don't remember as much as my young lady?" ”

Biyue looked at the young lady's words, and couldn't help but widen her eyes, staring at the boatman in front of her.

"Don't make a noise, find the eldest brother." Mu Yu finished writing, but the boatman happened to turn around. Seeing this, Mu Yu pretended to accidentally pour the tea on the table, and muttered in his mouth, "Why am I so careless and spill all the tea on the table." ”

If the boatman accidentally saw the handwriting on the table, he would definitely not let Biyue leave at that time.

The boatman didn't notice anything abnormal, and said, "Miss, there are too many boats in front of here, and my little canopy boat has nowhere to go ashore, so I'll hold it to the side and stop, so I'll trouble Miss to wait for a detour?" ”

Mu Yu smiled softly, "Okay." ”

Biyue and the others turned their backs and raised a hand knife, but they were pressed down by Mu Yu shaking his head. Biyue can beat the boatman, they are not safe to even float on the lake alone, if Biyue can't beat the boatman, it will be even more unsafe, the safest way is to put Biyue back and call someone to come and save themselves.

After being stopped by Miss, Biyue gritted her teeth and stopped talking, Mu Yu was afraid of revealing the filling, so she instructed a few more words, "This osmanthus cake is very soft when it has just come out of the oven, you should be careful when you carry it, don't break it, you know?" ”

"Got it." Biyue frowned, anxious in her heart.

When they arrived at the shore, Mu Yu walked out of the canopy boat and found that the location where they parked the boat was much different from the location of the normal dock, and there was a small forest in front of the shore, "Biyue, you go to get the osmanthus cake first." ”

The boatman hesitated for a moment, "Isn't Miss Mu going with Miss Biyue?" ”

"I'm tired and don't want to take a detour, just let her go." Mu Yu waved his hand calmly, deliberately dragging his steps, and let Biyue leave first.

The boatman's target was Mu Yu, as long as Mu Yu was still there, he didn't continue to ask, but walked behind Mu Yu, pretending to be intimate to show her the way.

"Miss Mu, walk this way, there is a small road, rugged, not easy to walk."

Mu Yu continued to walk forward according to the boatman's words, and after a few steps into the woods, he saw three people who had been waiting in the woods for a long time.

"Is that you?" Mu Yu pretended to be vigilant and took a few steps back, "Why are you here?" ”

The three of them didn't go around the jar with Mu Yu, and the man with the thief's eyebrows and rat eyes took out the dagger on his waist and shook it at Mu Yu, "When Miss Mu followed us, she should have thought that she would have such a day." ”

"You're going to kill me? I am the young lady of the Luanping Marquis Mansion, if you hurt me, you will have to bear the consequences. "Mu Yu deliberately stalled for time.

"Who knew we were going to kill you?" The tall man smiled contemptuously, "As long as you die, no one will think of us!" ”

"I have a marriage contract with Xie Chongning, the secretary of Dali Temple, if I die, he will definitely track it down, aren't you afraid that Xie Chongning will find you?"

"How could he find out about us?" The thief-eyed man smiled nonchalantly.

Mu Yu shrugged his shoulders and smiled indifferently, "Of course I will find you, because it was not just me who was following you at that time, but also Xie Chongning." ”

The faces of the three of them changed, and Mu Yu continued, "In order not to expose your own affairs, you would rather choose to kill me, a young lady from the Luanping Marquis Mansion, which shows how much you don't want others to know what you do." But I want to tell you that even if you kill me, you can't completely guarantee that things are not airtight, because I am not the only one who knows what you have done, but also Xie Chongning. ”

"Kill her first, she's talking too much nonsense." The short man snatched the dagger from the thief's eyebrow and rat eyes, and rushed towards Mu Yu.

Mu Yu immediately raised her voice, the purpose of what she said just now was not to provoke them, "After you killed me, do you still want to kill Xie Chongning?" Do you have what it takes? He's Dali Siqing! ”

The dwarf hesitated.

"You don't have the only way to kill me! I can actually convince Xie Chongning! Mu Yu smiled confidently, "Mu Liangxuan has actually told me what kind of business you are doing." ”
