Chapter 184: A New Beginning
"Biyue, Xie An, the two of you stay here to help Yingying take care of the Crescent Tower, we may go back a little longer this time, and there may be a lot of uncertain things happening, you must protect Yingying, and if there is anything, send a letter to us immediately."
Staying here alone Mu Yu and Xie Chongning must not be at ease, although that girl is smart, she is still too young, both of them have been by their side since childhood, they are more stable, and they are more at ease.
The capital is now undercurrent, the two of them don't know what will happen when they go back this time, it is too dangerous to take Yingying back, it would be safer to let them stay in Mucheng.
"Miss, let me go back with you."
If I went back so suddenly this time, there must have been something big to happen, so Mu Yu and Xie Chongning went back alone, and they were very uneasy.
"Biyue, you just stay here and run the Crescent Tower, and Xie An and the others protect Yingying, and we will come back after dealing with the affairs of the capital."
Mu Yu directly rejected Biyue's request.
In fact, Xie An also wanted to go with him, but he also knew that his master's decision could not be easily changed, so he was silent on the side.
"Brother and sister-in-law, can you not leave."
Ying Yingcai and Xie Chongning recognized each other not long ago, and they were about to face separation, and she was still very reluctant.
"Yingying, we still have something to deal with, and we'll be back soon after dealing with it, good boy, you have to be obedient."
It was rare for Xie Chongning to speak so gently to girls other than Mu Yu, and he still felt a little indebted to this sister.
"Okay, then you have to come back early after you deal with it, I'll give you a month, if you don't come back, I'll go to the capital to find you."
Yingying is actually very sensitive, and she also has a bad feeling in her heart about their sudden parting, and she always feels that going back this time will not be a good thing, so she also wants them to come back early.
"Well, don't worry, we'll be back early, you're obedient."
Xie Chongning knew that this little girl was worried about them, but he also knew the danger of the capital, and he definitely couldn't let Yingying get into danger.
"Okay, you can open a store and do business normally, we are traveling secretly this time, so you don't have to send it."
The words of the group to see them off were too high-profile, and Mucheng might not have anyone secretly staring at them, so they had to travel as low-key as possible.
After saying goodbye to a few people, Mu Yu and Xie Chongning left in a carriage from the back door in a very low-key manner.
Xie An had already taken care of everything, they walked quietly, and after they noticed, they had already arrived in the capital.
In order not to attract attention, they pretended to be business travelers, and the people they brought this time had never shown up before.
After leaving Mucheng, the people arranged by Xie An were already waiting early.
Their purpose this time was to escort Xie Chongning and Mu Yu to the capital safely, and they were to arrive when everyone was unaware, so they arranged this time to be a middle elite.
The leader was an older man, with the temperament of a businessman, shrewd, sleek and sophisticated.
I have to say that Xie An's arrangement is really just right, and only real businessmen will not attract the attention of others.
"Young master, it's all arranged."
Seeing that it was Xie Chongning, he walked closer and said.
"Well, let's go."
Xie Chongning's voice was faint, with a sense of oppression invisibly.
Mu Yu was a little surprised by the caravan that suddenly appeared, knowing that Xie An had been busy preparing recently, and now it seemed that he was going to arrange these caravans for them.
Xie Chongning has always been a more rigorous person, and he will not fight unprepared battles, and when he saw these caravans, Mu Yu became clear.
"This is what Xie An asked Xie An to prepare two days ago, and this time it is more dangerous to go to the capital, so we must be fully prepared to go back."
Xie Chongning saw the doubts and surprises in Mu Yu's heart and explained.
The two of them have now formed a tacit understanding, and as long as they look at each other, they can know each other's thoughts.
They are very cautious, and every time they go to a city, there will be spies to explore the road in advance, and if there are special circumstances, it is better to prepare in advance.
The closer they got to the capital, the closer the danger became, and they had to be more and more cautious, sending people every other way to investigate.
The capital has been chaotic recently, and there are many mountain bandit riots around, so in order to reach the capital smoothly, they must be cautious and avoid them as much as possible.
I don't know what the purpose of these bandits is, but this must not be as simple as a riot of mountain bandits.
"Young Master, there have been a lot of mountain bandit riots around the capital recently, young master, do you think we should avoid it?"
There is only one city from here to the capital, but there are more mountain bandits on the way, and it is easy to clash with him, this group of mountain bandits is obviously not good, if their identities are discovered, it will be very troublesome.
"What do you think?"
Xie Chongning did not rush to make a decision, but first asked Mu Yu what he thought.
"This gang of mountain bandits looks bad at first glance, or it may be a premeditated riot, we rush to fight them head-on, we will definitely be found out of our identity, we will also have losses, I think we can avoid it or avoid it, and arrive in the capital as soon as possible."
Mu Yu carefully analyzed the pros and cons and said his thoughts.
"Well, just do as the rumors say."
The corners of Xie Chongning's mouth were slightly hooked, and he looked at Mu Yu with a doting face.
After finishing speaking, he said to the people outside through the curtain, "But did you hear what the young lady said just now?" Just do as she says. ”
The people outside did not question Xie Chongning's decision, they had already listened to Xie An's advice before, so it was not surprising that Xie Chongning would directly follow Mu Yu's decision, but just responded very respectfully and left to make arrangements.
After the people left, Mu Yu and Xie Chongning tacitly understood that neither of them spoke, and after a while, Mu Yu asked.
"Do you think these mountain bandit riots have anything to do with the Flying Eagle Gang?"
Judging from all indications, this mountain bandit riot was a premeditated riot, and it was obvious that someone was secretly fueling the flames, wanting to put pressure on the new emperor and not wanting him to sit firmly in the emperor's position.
Although Mu Yu didn't want to think about it from this aspect, all kinds of signs showed that this matter had a lot to do with the Flying Eagle Gang.
"It seems that the rumor already has an idea in her heart, why don't you talk about it?"
Xie Chongning also knew in his heart that the reason why Mu Yu said this must have already had an idea in his heart, so he took the initiative to guide him.
"It seems that I can't hide this little bit from you, then I'll just say it, I think this matter may have something to do with the Flying Eagle Gang, I just heard Steward Li talk about the current situation, this is a premeditated riot."
In front of Xie Chongning, Mu Yu has always been very honest, because she knows that even if she doesn't say some things, with Xie Chongning's intelligence, she will definitely know, but sometimes he may take into account her thoughts and will not take the initiative to tell her.
"Well, what the rumor said is right, this matter is related to the Flying Eagle Gang, and it is very likely that it will also be related to the father-in-law, Yu'er, are you ready?"
Xie Chongning didn't hide it from Mu Yu, there are some things that Mu Yu has to know sooner or later, and some choices, she will have to face sooner or later, it is better to say it now, so that she can have some mental preparation.
Although some things are said, Mu Yu may be difficult to accept for a while, but now that she knows that there is likely to be a chance to remedy it, if she only knows in the end, she will definitely regret it very much and blame herself, so Xie Chongning chose to let her know at this time.
"Well, I felt it before, but I didn't want to believe it all the time, now that the situation is so serious, I can't let my father be wrong anymore, it's still too late to stop now, don't worry, I won't affect you."
Mu Yu also knew very well in his heart that all of these things were inseparable from his father, but it was still very difficult to make a choice in his heart, after all, that person was his father, the father who had raised her for more than ten years.
But at the same time, she didn't want to involve Xie Chongning, she knew how serious the consequences would be if her father's things were exposed.
"Yu'er, I'm not afraid of being affected by you, you are my wife, the person I love, and the person I want to protect for the rest of my life, I know that some decisions are difficult, but you have to believe that no matter what happens in the future, I will face it with you."
Xie Chongning looked at Mu Yu with a serious and affectionate expression, paused for a while, and added, "I'm not afraid of being affected by you, I'm afraid of being left out by you like this, I don't like it." ”
"Besides, do you think that with my ability, I can't turn the tide and calm this turmoil?"
Being excluded like Mu Yu, Xie Chongning's heart was very angry, he thought that after going through so much, his meaning was very clear.
But now it seems that Mu Yu still doesn't regard him as someone he can rely on for the rest of his life, and wants to exclude him at such a critical time.
Mu Yu was a little overwhelmed by Xie Chongning's naked confession, a little flustered in her heart, and she was also very moved, this was Xie Chongning's first confession in the real sense, which was completely unexpected by her.
This is also what she thought about for a long time before she said it, Mu Yu thought that Xie Chongning would be very angry and disappointed when she heard these words, but she never thought that it would be such a result.
"I didn't mean that, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to stop my father's behavior, and besides, my father had done so many things, and I was afraid that when everything surfaced, you would be very embarrassed."
"Rumor, do you think I'll be afraid of being affected by you? Trust me, no matter what happens, I will definitely be there for you. ”
Xie Chongning's tone was gentle and firm, and in just a few words, Mu Yu was full of security and motivation.
"I believe in you."
Mu Yu lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, raised his head, looked at Xie Chongning with firm eyes and said.
If those nice words came out of someone else, Mu Yu would definitely not believe it, but when it came out of Xie Chongning's mouth, it would give people a full sense of security and trust, and Mu Yu believed him.
