Anzhou, which is prosperous according to commerce and trade, is different from Fengluocheng, the imperial capital, the wind and grass in the palace and even the shaking of the mountains rarely affect here, and the turmoil that makes the harem of the Yuan Kingdom empty nearly half is just a breeze and a drop of dew in the hearts of the people of Anzhou, and the ripples are difficult to rise, and there are probably only two people who bother with it.

"The emperor has more and more trust in Concubine Yun and Lian Song, he doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, and disregards the people's will, what is the difference between going on like this and the first emperor? I really don't understand, how can such a person be supported to succeed to the throne? ”

Yan Liwu complained about the current affairs for the first time, Wen Moqing was a little surprised but not surprised, and replied quite plainly: "There was no such problem when he was still a prince." At that time, the emperor advocated a wide range of views and thought that the people would come first, and the people, including my father and me, thought that he would be a good emperor who worked hard to govern the country, but I didn't expect such a big change in just over a year. ”

Although Wen Moqing never elaborated, Yan Liwu also learned more or less from other people that the reason why Wen Jingyuan was able to replace the heirs of the first emperor was largely due to the help of Wen Moqing and King Dingyuan. Now that Wen Jingyuan has become a biased listener and self-servant, it is very likely that Yuanguo will fall into the control of the ministers again, and Wen Moqing's mood will naturally not be good.

Yan Liyu pretended to shrug his shoulders indifferently, picked up a large piece of meat and put it into the bowl of Chu Jiu, and a soft smile appeared on his face: "Whatever, those things have nothing to do with me anyway, I just want to find the person I should find now, and take Jiu'er back to the Drunken Wind and Snow Moon Tower as soon as possible." ”

"Get carried away." Wen Moqing seemed to be sarcastic, but the corners of his mouth were smiling.

Chu Jiu held the chopsticks and licked his lips, picked up the largest piece of meat in the bowl and sent it into the Yanli Worry bowl, his crisp voice was like a yellow warbler: "Sister Honglian, if you eat, you have lost weight." ”

"I'm losing weight because I'm losing weight, Jiu'er is growing up, so I have to eat meat, understand?" Yan Liwu looked at the skinny Chu Jiu more and more distressed, pinched his little face, and couldn't wait to kiss him hard.

Chu Jiu is fifteen years old this year, probably because of the fact that she rarely interacts with outsiders, the innocent and simple girl is like an eleven or twelve-year-old child, but she is kind-hearted, simple and sensible, and everyone who has seen her likes it. In the past few days in Anzhou, although Chu Jiu didn't know why she was called, she knew that she was sold to Wen Moqing, and in the first few days, she got up early every day to give Wen Moqing and Yan Liwu water to wash, serve tea and dinner, and was educated by Wen Moqing pretending to be angry a few times before gradually becoming familiar and close, but calling him "brother-in-law" has not changed.

It's not that she can't change it, it's that Wen Moqing doesn't allow her to change it.

After eating breakfast and resting for a while, as planned, he had to go to the north of Anzhou City to continue searching for clues, Wen Moqing took the lead in walking out of the inn but was stopped by a ragged beggar, and the two muttered something to themselves.

"What's going on? The money is gone, and you plan to find a beggar gang to join the gang? Yan Liwu went out and looked at the beggar who left in a hurry and joked.

"There is news, someone has found the whereabouts of a suspicious woman in the lonely mountain outside the city, which is very close to your description." Wen Moqing's face was solemn, and he rubbed the top of Chu Jiu's head, "Jiu'er, wait a minute, I'll send you to an uncle's house, and you can wait for us to come back there, okay?" ”

Chu Jiu raised his little face to look at Yan Li's worries, a little reluctant, but he still nodded sensibly: "Sister and brother-in-law should be careful." ”

The plan to continue the search changed, Wen Moqing temporarily contacted Wang Yuanwai to send the first nine to the post, and then dragged Yan Liwu to the south gate to wait for the guide.

"Did you ask the beggars for help?" While waiting, the bored Yan asked worriedly.

"Those beggars are familiar with every corner of Anzhou City, who will walk on which street on weekdays, who are the old residents and who are the merchants, those beggars know everything about it, and it is not easy to find them to startle the snake." Wen Moqing explained a little sloppily, her eyes kept focusing on the road where people came and went, "If you meet someone from the Women's Army, then she will definitely choose a very hidden place to live, this kind of place is difficult for outsiders to find, and those beggars who have nothing to do all day and wander around are most likely to find." ”

After talking to the beggar, Wen Moqing always maintained a serious attitude, and it was inconvenient to ask more questions, so she had to wait by his side. After about a cup of tea, a one-eyed beggar came to him, and the thief's eyebrows looked around, and then he came to Wen Moqing's side.

"The woman lives in the southern suburbs of the city, Wild Wolf Slope, a small hill that is not very high, and because there are many lonely graves on the mountain, no one usually wants to go there. I inquired with my brother, and it seemed that the woman had been living for a long time, and she went into the city every ten days and half a month to buy some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and medicinal herbs, but I didn't see anyone else with her. This morning, I saw the woman enter the city again, and remembered that you seemed to be looking for such a person, so I asked Li Lao Lazy to go to the inn to find you. ”

On the way to the Wild Wolf Slope, the one-eyed beggar told all the news he had inquired about, and left with great gratitude after receiving a piece of broken silver from Wen Moqing near the Wild Wolf Slope.

Wen Moqing looked at the path leading to the inner part of the low mountain, and after hesitating for a while, he hid in the deep grass beside the roadside, hiding in the sun behind him, but after a while, he was sweating profusely and his clothes were damp.

"Is it hot?" Wen Moqing glanced back at Yan Liwu.

"Nonsense, it's all about to be smoked."

"I can't endure such a little hardship, how will I walk the rivers and lakes in the future?" Wen Moqing sneered, raised his hand and pressed the sweat towel on Yan Li's face.

Yan Li snatched the sweat towel and rolled his eyes in annoyance: "Who said I was going to walk the rivers and lakes?" Don't arrange other people's way out casually. When Jiu'er's affairs are done, I will find a place to open a medical clinic and live the rest of my life quietly. ”

"Dreaming."

glared fiercely a few times, and chose not to refute it, she was afraid that continuing to talk would lead to an ambiguous situation, and she was speechless when she listened to Wen Moqing's words intentionally or unintentionally - for example, Chu Jiu called him brother-in-law, it was okay to say it was a joke, and it was okay to say it was something else, in short, she didn't want the ambiguous relationship between the two to be further deepened, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

"Shhhhh Such a palm-sized piece of territory made Yan Liwu have to be close to his skin and smell his snort, but in this case, he couldn't smell any man's breath at all, and all he could smell was the smell of sweat on the two of them.

There will never be a good life with Wen Mo, this is the most certain cognition in Yan Liwu's mind.

What caused Wen Moqing to be suddenly vigilant was a figure in the distance, the footsteps of the figure hurriedly approached, and his clothes and appearance slowly became clear. Yan Liwu held her breath and looked carefully, from the initial squinting to the round opening of her eyes, which completely showed the two extreme changes in the human eye, so she didn't need to open her mouth to explain, Wen Moqing guessed that the person who came was the middle-aged woman who Yan Liwu met that day.

Since the place where the two of them were hiding was still some distance away from the weedy winding mountain road, it was a bit of a struggle to see the woman clearly. Wen Moqing frowned, made a silent gesture, signaled that Yan Liwu was waiting in the grass, and he moved lightly to the side, quietly moving behind the woman.

It's summer, and the mountains are full of flowers and plants, and the ground is covered with dense flowers. It stands to reason that the fluffy green grass can help a lot to slow down the footsteps, Wen Moqing's light skills are good, and it shouldn't be a problem to get close to the woman silently, but just when Wen Moqing is still half a step away from the mountain road, the change happens suddenly.

The sound of the dead branch breaking suddenly came from Wen Moqing's feet, and before Wen Moqing could dodge, the woman in front of her in a hurry had already noticed it, and turned around neatly in the blink of an eye, and a silver light surged out from her waist.

Yan Li's worries rose to his throat, and he jumped up from the grass without thinking.

She knew that Wen Moqing was strong in martial arts and quick to react, and it would definitely not be a problem to deal with that woman, but Wen Moqing was inextricably linked with the Women's Army, and mentioning the name of the Women's Army was always full of self-blame and nostalgia, and she was worried that Wen Moqing would not dare to do anything in the face of the woman who might be the Women's Army, and even be injured because of it.

Yan Liwu jumped out of the grass and went straight to the woman, trying to draw the woman's attention to the danger of diverting the warmth and ink. Wen Moqing saw her plan, and just lowered her brows and wanted to drink her away, the woman had already turned the direction of her attack and went straight to Yan Li, and the sharp light in her hand was even more murderous.

Did you find out it was her? If the other party thinks that she is the King of Qinglian, she will definitely not show mercy.

The thought flashed through his mind, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he had to counterattack to defend the block and move a fierce offensive, but he didn't dare to take out the Huangcheng sword for fear of hurting the other party.

The caution of the words was not in exchange for the mercy of the other party's subordinates, but when he saw that she did not have a blade, he became more and more fierce, and he didn't even give him a chance to ask for an explanation. Yan was helpless but difficult to get out, and he couldn't get out of the battle after tossing and turning several times, until a sword in the slanted cold light silently provoked between the two, and then forced the woman who was getting braver and braver to retreat.

"Stop fighting." Wen Moqing, who was forced to stop him, put away his sword and returned it to the sheath, first stopped Yan Liwu behind him, and then looked back at the woman who attacked again, not dodging or dodging, with a calm face.

The woman was slightly stunned for a moment, and her warm ink moved her lips and whispered.

"Aunt Mu."

The weapon that was halfway to the attack suddenly stopped, and the woman looked at Wen Moqing in surprise, who was blocking in front of Yan Liwu, and the color of confusion and doubt in her vicissitudes of life kept changing, and finally turned into excitement and joy, and her dark lips kept trembling.

When the short knife wrapped in the oilcloth fell to the ground, the woman had already rushed to Wen Moqing, her calloused hand trembling slightly, and she stroked Wen Moqing's handsome cheeks inch by inch.

"Little bastard, you're a little bastard...... It's the little bastard of the prince's family! ”

"Well, it's me, Aunt Mu." Wen Moqing smiled kindly, and a cloud on the horizon quietly walked by, just casting the brightest ray of sunshine on his face.

Yan Liwu didn't know if it was his own delusion, and at that moment, he seemed to see Wen Moqing's throat choking.

In an instant, she seemed to be blinded by that smile - it turned out that he would also be emotional, gentle as a promise, as bright as the sun, and smiling like Wen Moshu, which made people's hearts soft and warm.
