Chapter 70: Chase and escape in the city
Out of the dark incense attic, it was the middle of the day.
Mu Yu walked back unhurriedly, and a mile away was the downtown market, which was mostly a gathering place for small stalls and vendors, so they were allowed to come in and set up stalls in order to add some popularity. Looking left and right, Mu Yu chose a simple noodle stall and sat down and asked for a bowl of beef noodles.
There were only five small wooden tables at the noodle stall, each with four benches, and before Mu Yu sat down, there were already four or five customers. The noodle stall owner's stove rested on the side of this long street, and a pile of coals was piled up in the corner, and the charcoal fire was also burning very strongly, and the red water was boiling straight up, and the cauldron was boiling water, gurgling and bubbling.
Mu Yu sat on the side, raised his head, glanced at his eyes, and saw that the owner of the stall grabbed a large handful of noodles from under the table with his left hand, and put them into the big colander held in his right hand, and let the colander boil in boiling water with the noodles, and then cut a few pieces of cooked beef on the table on the side and prepared them, and there were also a few spices and side dishes on the table, and at the end of the table, there was a large wooden barrel that was tightly covered. In less than a cup of tea, the boss took out a few large bowls from the bottom of the desk, and laid them out one by one, a total of five, and then fished out the noodles in the boiling water, and divided them into each bowl with chopsticks, and then, stepped to the end of the table, uncovered the big wooden barrel, and suddenly a rich taste of bone broth spread......
"Goo~" Mu Yu's stomach screamed uncontrollably.
After eating and drinking, Mu Yu reluctantly walked out of the noodle stall and walked forward, still looking like people coming and going.
Mu Yu thought about it for a while, and decided to take advantage of this time to disturb Feng Yu again, otherwise he might have to wait until when...... Just thinking about what was on his mind, there seemed to be a sudden commotion in front of him, and a faint familiar voice came-
"Stop!"
The voice was closer, and Mu Yufang could hear that it was Jinnian's, and he looked on tiptoe, and was bumping into Jinnian's eager expression.
Seeing him so eager, could it be that he was attacked by thieves? Well...... Since the imperial city is under the control of King Yong, and it is so tight, how can there be thieves mixed in?
Let's find out.
The person who was chased by Jin Nian must also be a light worker, and he arrived at Mu Yu's side in an instant, Mu Yu naturally would not sit idly by, and immediately jumped lightly, facing a strong man wearing a brown cloth shirt and trousers and a hat. The strong man who was in a hurry to escape saw that someone was blocking the way, his eyes were cold, he pulled out a short blade like lightning on his waist, and aimed at Mu Yu's neck, Mu Yu was in a low position, and when he saw this, he leaned over and avoided it, and after stabilizing his body in the open space left by everyone, he looked back and found that the strong man had been running forward, and no one stopped him.
Jin Nian passed by Mu Yu with a "whoosh", chasing after him like the wind, Mu Yu knew the seriousness of the problem when he saw this, and he didn't stop, and immediately chased after him.
The man's body was extremely fast, and he rushed out of the downtown in a few clicks, and went straight to the dark incense building where Mu Yu had just been, and Jin Nian was slightly stunned and chased in, but he disappeared the strong man's figure, glanced at the lobby, and found that there was no one. When the guy saw someone coming, he hurriedly walked over and greeted: "Guest officer, please go inside." ”
Mu Yu also chased after him at this time and asked, "What happened?" ”
Jin Nian didn't answer, grabbed the guy's collar and asked, "Master asked you, where is the person who came in just now?" ”
The guy had a frightened expression: "Guest officer, guest officer...... There's something to say, there's something to say! ”
Mu Yu dissuaded: "Jin Nian, if you have something to say, don't move your hands and feet, what the hell is going on?" ”
Jin Nian glanced back at Mu Yu, and then asked again: "Where are the people who came in just now?!" ”
"Uh, I didn't see it, I didn't see anyone coming in, don't you read it wrong......"
Jin Nian stomped his feet in frustration, and saw a wooden ladder leading to the second floor above, so he pushed away the guy and ran to the wooden ladder. What is it to hide! ”
"Ouch, guest officer, who are you looking for? I'm the shopkeeper here......"
Mu Yu also said: "Jin Nian, you calm down first. ”
When Jin Nian heard the words "shopkeeper", he paused, turned around and looked at it, before saying, "Did you see someone running in?" ”
The shopkeeper shook his head and stared at Jin Nian, for fear that he would do something.
"It's weird, it's gone in the blink of an eye......" Jin Nian was very annoyed.
"Jin Nian, did that person steal your purse?" Although he asked, Mu Yu didn't think that the person was just stealing the purse, otherwise the murderous aura and not simple kung fu in his eyes before would not be able to explain.
The young man's thick eyebrows were tangled together, "No! But ......"
Mu Yu persuaded again: "He is likely to have run away, and you don't need to chase after him anymore, let's go out first, okay?" ”
"Okay." Jin Nian spread his hands helplessly.
The shopkeeper and his fellow sent them both out in a kind voice.
"Jin Nian, can you tell me about it?" Mu Yu felt that this must be unusual.
"That's it...... cough cough ......" As soon as he said two words, Jin Nian became uncomfortable.
Mu Yu smiled, "What's wrong with you?" I notice something is wrong with you today......"
"I was curious...... And I went, and I went......"
"Where?"
“...... I went to Yanchun Tower, just curious, curious! ”
"What are you doing there? ...... Oh! No, I'm trying to ask, what are you chasing that person for? ”
The young man's face couldn't help but be angry, his eyes were red, "You don't know, I've seen that person before......" His voice gradually became a little hoarse.
Mu Yu had never seen him like this, and he didn't know what that person had done to make De Jinnian so excited......
Afraid that his emotions would be out of control, Mu Yu diverted the topic: "Are you hungry?" Would you like something to eat? ”
"Not hungry."
"Why don't we find a place to sit down and talk slowly?"
"Okay."
The two avoided the bustling city, found a deserted riverside, sat down to talk slowly with the breeze and rippling water.
Jin Nian's eyes looked at the water in confusion, as well as the mountains in the distance.
"At that time, Master was still alive, and Master and I lived in the valley, but suddenly one day Master went out and came back...... After I came back, I kept coughing up blood. The master said that he was poisoned and there was no cure, but I didn't believe it, so the master said the names of a string of herbs and asked me to go to my brother, who was already delirious at that time......
I was in a hurry to go to the pharmacy outside to grab medicine, but I didn't listen to what he said later...... Unexpectedly, the medicinal materials in the pharmacy were very expensive, and the boss wouldn't sell them to me. After I went back, Master's body was already cold, and he was lying there motionless......"
He was completely caught up in his memories, as if he were muttering about the past.
"Is the man you chased earlier the enemy?"
