Chapter Seventy-Two: Before Saving People
Mu Yi returned to the county seat and recuperated overnight, and his mental strength had almost recovered.
As for Nian Nu'er, he temporarily entered the ghost king's flag.
After this period of exploration, Mu Yi can now basically control the Ghost King Banner, and Xu Gui is dead, so there is no need to worry about him leaving any backhand, and Nian Nu'er can naturally enter it.
And at this moment, there are still some ghost things imprisoned in the ghost king flag, as well as a powerful ghost, if Nian Nu'er can absorb them all, even if she can't go further, she can consolidate her current realm.
The next morning, Xie Miao also brought back the news of the ghost village, which was burned by a fire last night, leaving no trace.
After hearing the news, Mu Yi was not surprised, but knew that the one who set the fire should be the guardian, that is, the old woman.
Originally, he didn't have much hope for Xie Miao to go, and he didn't feel any surprise when he heard the news at this moment, but it was a trouble for the spirit keeper to leave, but fortunately, there was no deep hatred between him and the spirit guard, and even the relationship between the spirit keeper and Xu Gui was not very close, otherwise she would not have turned around and ran away at the beginning, but should have fought hard with Mu Yi.
If that's the case, it's not necessarily true that whoever lives and who dies.
After all, Mu Yi's mental strength had been exhausted at that time, and he could no longer activate the talisman, and as for Nian Nu'er, he could only entangle the other party.
If the other party is bent on killing Mu Yi, Nian Nu'er may not be able to stop him.
It's a pity that the other party was frightened by Mu Yi and fled in a hurry, not knowing that Mu Yi was already at the end of his crossbow at that time.
Maybe she figured it out later, but at that time, Mu Yi had already returned to the county seat with Nian Nu'er, and in anger, she set fire there.
After all, she also knew that Mu Yi would not let her go easily, and her hard work here was almost destroyed by Mu Yi, and even her magic embryo was taken away by Mu Yi.
In this case, if she doesn't leave and stays there and waits for Mu Yi to come to the door again, it will be really a fool.
And Mu Yi has now opened the door to the second difficulty, as long as he is given time, it is inevitable to cross over, and at that time, even if the spirit keeper really finds revenge, Mu Yi will not take it to heart.
Now the top priority is to find Su Jinlun, if he is not mistaken, Su Jinlun should be in the cold cottage at this moment, after all, Su Jinlun's only use in Xu Gui's eyes is to attract Mu Yi's bait.
But for Hanshanzhai and Li Hu, it is different, Su Jinlun, as the only heir of the Su family, is self-evident how important he is to the Su family.
Li Hu and Xu Gui's joint theft of the seven wealthy families has shown his ambition, at least he should need a lot of money, and although the Su family is inconspicuous on the surface, those who really know the Su family know that even if the Su family lives in Funiu Town, it cannot be underestimated whether it is open or secret.
In this case, it is normal for Li Hu to hit the Su family with his idea.
Anyway, when Li Hu and Xu Gui arrested Su Jinlun, they had completely offended the Su family, since they were offended, how could they care if they would tear their faces, and get enough benefits first.
Of course, if Xu Gui can directly destroy the Su family, it will naturally be more convenient, even if he fails, as long as Su Jinlun is in his hands, it will be a bargaining chip.
It was based on this idea that Li Hu brought Su Jinlun back to the village.
And as long as that Li Hu is not stupid, he will send someone to pay attention to the situation in the ghost village at all times, and now, I'm afraid Li Hu has also gotten the news.
However, as long as the old woman who guarded the spirit did not go to Xiaohan Mountain, it was impossible for him to know the exact news, let alone know whether Mu Yi was alive or dead.
But Mu Yi also understands that it is impossible to drag on for too long, otherwise Su Jinlun's life will also be in danger.
But before going to save Su Jinlun, Mu Yi decided to meet someone first.
The county order of Lin'an County, Gu Yaosen.
As the lord of a county, Mu Yi believes that the matter of the ghost village must not be hidden from him, he must also know that Su Jinlun was kidnapped, and he knows that Mu Yi personally took action, if he doesn't even know this, he is not qualified to be the lord of this county.
Similarly, Mu Yi also believes that as long as Gu Yaosen is not stupid, he will do his best to rescue Su Jinlun, and he will also make decisions for the seven rich families who were stolen.
When he came to the county office, Mu Yi was led in without even being informed, obviously all this had already been signaled by Gu Yaosen.
The place where Gu Yaosen saw Mu Yi was in the backyard of the mansion, and this place also belonged to the inner house, so it stands to reason that Gu Yaosen should not be so rude.
Let's not talk about the relationship between Mu Yi and the Su family, just because of the favor Peng Songlai owed, and Mu Yi's intention this time, he must not be like this, but he is not the only one who sees Mu Yi this time.
When Mu Yi came to the backyard, he saw three people, a man and two women.
Of the three, one of them was seen by Mu Yi before, and as for the identities of the other two, he could also guess them.
The man looked like he was only thirty or forty years old, with a square face, a fair face, and a pair of bright eyes.
Even he has a majesty on his body, which is official authority.
If it was an ordinary person who was suddenly stared at by him like this, he would already be trembling at this moment, his heart was weak, and his body trembled, but Mu Yi didn't seem to be aware of it, and his expression didn't fluctuate at all, and he came to the three of them with powerful steps.
Although the atmosphere of this era is no longer so rigorous, but if my wife dares to see a strange man, it is still not good, and the three from the four virtues are like a mountain, suppressing the women of this era.
Gu Yaosen, as a scholar, and his wife are also considered to be the best girls, so they shouldn't have made this kind of mistake, but who made Mu Yi's identity a little special, and he is not very old, so there are not so many taboos.
In these years, Taoist priests still have a lot of privileges, and even when they see their female dependents, no one will say anything wrong.
"Presumably this is the shepherd, right? Sure enough, he has an outstanding temperament and is not like a mortal. Gu Yaosen was secretly surprised in his heart, but he still said with praise on his lips.
It's not that he hasn't seen the so-called Taoist priests before, but those Taoist priests are all trembling and cautious under his official authority, even those so-called masters of the rivers and lakes are also affected.
Only Mu Yi seemed to have no notice at all, and this alone was enough for Gu Yaosen to treat it solemnly.
"Daoist, we're meeting again." After Gu Yaosen finished speaking, a woman beside him took a slight step forward, bowed to Mu Yi, and said softly.
This woman is the youngest daughter of Fluffy Lai, Peng Mi, and Gu Yaosen's sister-in-law.
As for the other beautiful woman next to her, she was naturally Gu Yaosen's wife.
