Chapter 32: Unintentional Approach
It was late at night, and the soldiers guarding the door had already locked the door, and there was silence without hearing the voice. Mu Yu and Uncle Zhong stood at the foot of the stairs, with a cool breeze blowing on their faces.
The two had no choice but to return. Mu Yu walked back step by step from the gate of the county king's mansion with a heavy heart, the clear night wind gusted for a while, blowing the leaves rustling on the side of the road, over the treetops, Mu Yu raised his head to look at the sky, only to see that the round of the moon was bright and extinguished the cold light, year after year, day after day.
"Squeak-squeak-"
Behind the two of them, the door of the county king's mansion was opened from the inside out, and the voice was accompanied by a long, boring tone, which seemed so harsh and sharp in the silence of the night.
Mu Yu turned around sharply and saw a person coming out of the door, it was Feng Yu. She turned around and looked at the man with Leng Yue behind her back, and the man also looked at her, her body obviously stunned.
Mu Yu's heart, grievances, and sadness suddenly rushed to her heart, and she couldn't stop it, her lips trembled, and she stood quietly in the cold wind, staring at the person.
Tears fell silently.
She hadn't shed tears for a long time, and since she made up her mind to leave home to learn martial arts, Mu Yu had only shed it once, and that time Mu Yu didn't want to mention it, it was just the hardship in the process of practicing martial arts...... But today, when she learned that her father had been kidnapped by bandits on a trip but she couldn't do anything about it, she couldn't hold back her tears again.
Senior Brother Ning left, and Uncle Liao also made it clear that she couldn't help, so she could only turn to Feng Yu for help, because Feng Yu said that he would protect the Mu family. When he first came, when Mu Yu saw him for the first time, Feng Yu agreed, and later he said so. Although the Mu family never gave him benefits, he just agreed.
Therefore, the Mu family is in trouble now, and Mu Yu came to him.
The girl stood on the cold street, crying silently.
Feng Yu couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and planned to go out of the mansion for a walk, but he didn't expect to see Mu Yu and the middle-aged uncle not far from the door of his mansion. He was slightly stunned and stood still, but he didn't see her say anything for a while, just stood there stunned.
Confused, he took a few steps closer to her, and was shocked to find her crying.
His heart tightened, and he took a few steps closer, and the two of them were one step away.
He lowered his head slightly, gazing down at her weeping face from above through the misty moonlight.
The young man and woman standing opposite each other were silent before the uncle met them, and suddenly felt that he was really redundant, so he didn't dare to disturb them, and walked away quietly.
Mu Yu finally stopped her tears.
She raised her eyes and looked directly at the person in front of her, bitter in her heart: "King Jun, I beg you to help me......" There was a thick choked voice in her tone, and she couldn't help but cry out again When she was about to cry out, she hurriedly swallowed the unfinished words and closed her lips tightly.
"What's wrong with you? What's wrong? Feng Yu couldn't help but ask.
"My father, my father was kidnapped by bandits...... They want 10 million taels of gold, where can our family get it......" Mu Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly, helpless and desperate.
Feng Yu also frowned tightly when he heard this, this is really a tricky thing...... Mu Yu couldn't hold back her tears, Feng Yu wanted to comfort her, but he really didn't know how to comfort her, he clenched the palm behind him, and tried his best to restrain the urge to hug her in his heart.
"It's so late, why don't you go back with me, and we'll discuss it carefully." Feng Yu laboriously spat out the words that lingered between his lips and teeth for a long time.
Mu Yu was dressed very little, it was so cold, he couldn't help but feel pity when he saw her trembling body standing in the wind.
"Okay." Hearing the "careful discussion", Mu Yu agreed without thinking about it.
She followed him into the county king's mansion all the way to the study.
The study room is simply and cleanly furnished, which makes people feel very comfortable to see.
"Give."
A handkerchief was handed over in front of him, Mu Yu raised a pair of tearful eyes, took it into his hand in a daze, and wiped it slowly.
Feng Yu placed her on the chair opposite him, and he sat behind the desk.
He leaned forward and stared at her intently, "Tell me everything you know." ”
Mu Yu wiped away her tears and sat on the chair, only then did her heart settle down a little, she tried her best to suppress the anxiety in her heart, and said: "I just came home with my uncle, and I heard from my mother that my father was kidnapped by bandits, and the bandits gave my mother a letter...... They called themselves Black Wind Village, and they also demanded 10 million taels of gold, let us take it out within seven days, otherwise we will kill my father......"
Feng Yu pondered for a long time, and said solemnly: "What do you think...... Do the bandits know about your home? ”
"I guess I know."
"Then do you think the bandits want more than 10 million taels of gold or your father's life?"
"Ten million taels of gold, of course."
"Then think about it, the bandits offered such a high price, but you can't take it and can't save your father's life...... Didn't the bandits fail? ”
“...... What do you mean? Mu Yu was surrounded.
Feng Yu leaned back and said, "In my opinion, this matter is either a prank by someone, or your father was really kidnapped, but this kidnapping ...... I'm afraid there are other plans. ”
Mu Yu was silent.
The atmosphere was almost frozen.
After a long time, Mu Yu said: "If it's a prank, who would make such a prank?" ”
"Perhaps...... Is it your dad? ”
"Impossible, how could Dad make such a joke." Mu Yu subconsciously denied it, how could Dad make such a prank?
"Except for your father and you and your mother, no one else should know where he is going to talk about business, right?"
"And Uncle Hong."
"Could it be Mu Hong?"
"It can't be Uncle Hong!" Mu Yu shook his head.
"No one else?"
"Nope."
Silence again.
"Then it can only be another possibility, your father was really kidnapped by Black Wind Village." Feng Yu said solemnly.
"Black Wind Village...... Is there a bandit den with this title near Donglin County? ”
Feng Yu shook his head, he had just come to Donglin, and he didn't know much about it.
"Maybe President Liao knows. So, let's visit Liao's house tomorrow? ”
"Hmm."
Silent.
Mu Yu got up, "King Jun, I'm sorry, I'm still bothering you so late, I'll leave first......"
"Wait." Feng Yu also got up, stopped in front of her, and said, "It's so late at night, it's better to stay here for one night." ”
"Thank you for your kindness, it's not convenient for me to live here." Mu Yu refused Feng Yu's retention, hurriedly walked out of the study, and walked outside the gate of the county king's mansion, but found that the door was locked.
At night, it stands to reason that there should have been guards on duty to keep vigil, but tonight, Feng Yu let them sleep.
Mu Yu had to go back, but saw Feng Yu standing under the eaves of the corridor outside the study.
"The ...... of the county king" Mu Yu was very puzzled.
"Follow me." Feng Yu didn't say anything and asked Mu Yu to follow him, but he walked to the backyard without looking back.
Mu Yu had no choice but to follow him.
In a wing room in the backyard, a light is on.
"I've already ordered someone to arrange a room for you."
“......”
Mu Yu was dumbfounded, was Feng Yu so domineering?
"Eh, that, where's the uncle?" Mu Yu only remembered his uncle at this time, and he didn't know if he had gone back.
Feng Yu frowned, "He's already gone back." For some reason, he was a little displeased to hear that she cared so much about that uncle......
The person in front of him had a unique beauty in the moonlight, and the hazy moonlight made her face and posture far and near, attracting him to touch ...... He swallowed his throat.
"County King, do you have anything else to say?"
"Nope."
He woke up suddenly, left two words and hurried away.
“......”
