Chapter 39: Awakening

The city of Xinzhou finally regained its tranquility.

Outside the north of Xinzhou City, a large group of people lit torches and entered the mountains and forests.

Four officers and soldiers escorted two little minions to guide the way at the front, Mu Yu followed behind with Feng Yu and Wang Shen, and then behind were two generals and a thousand officers and soldiers.

Caught the bandit leader, these little minions are exceptionally obedient.

The whole hillside was overgrown with trees and weeds, and the group followed the footsteps of the minions until they reached the other side of the hillside, and over the hillside, there was a valley below.

The valley is extremely silent, the footsteps of a large group of people echo in it, like thousands of horses, there are big birds flying overhead, soaring away, the moonlight is quiet and quiet, the lake water is like a mirror, the green aquatic plants sway in the wind on the lake surface, and the starlight is reflected on the water, as if countless jewels have been scattered at the bottom of the lake.

Out of the valley, there is a mountain road ahead.

The undulating mountains were hazy in the moonlight, and everyone walked along the rugged mountain paths, over the stagnant water in the ravines, and on the hard rocks, the torches scared away the small animals that walked at night.

"Slow down, don't disturb the beasts on the mountain." The little minion who was escorted in front of him said.

Hearing this, Wang Shen asked everyone to be careful.

Let's move on.

Ahead, the mountains are getting higher and higher, the barren rocks are sparsely covered with strange trees and wild grasses, a vine tree is rooted in the mountain rocks, bending its old and vigorous branches towards the lake, and on the other side of the mountain, there is an ancient stone arch bridge at the bottom of the slope, and below the slope is a narrow lake, sandwiched under the mountains on both sides, winding into the distance.

The lake is lined with weeds more than a foot high, and the railings on both sides of the old stone arch bridge have long since rotted and fallen off. There was already a series of footprints on the bridge, both human and beastly.

Everyone slowly descended the hill and stepped on the stone bridge, and at the end of the stone bridge, there was an old pavilion.

The one who crossed the bridge first rested in the pavilion and waited for the people behind until everyone crossed the bridge, and the little minion pointed to the stone steps carved out around the foot of the mountain in front of him, and said, "Go up along this stone step, and when you reach the other side of this mountain, there is our stockade." ”

Everyone looked at each other and talked about it, they were already very tired from walking for so long on the mountain road, and it was really tiring to climb such a high mountain again. They were also amazed at the topography and the location of Black Wind Village, how could there be bandits in such a unique and elegant place?

Hearing the discussion of the officers and soldiers, one of the little minions said: "It used to be a hidden ancient temple, but then somehow it was burned clean by a fire, and finally there were some ruins left, and our boss built the Black Wind Village on this basis." ”

"I really know how to choose a place."

"It's a shame that you bandits live in such a nice place!"

"The ancient temple has become a den of thieves, and I am afraid that the land god is also angry."

"Alas, what a pity!"

Wang Shen was also tired, so he ordered everyone to rest here.

Wang Shen called to fetch two little minions and asked, "How many people are there on the mountain?" ”

"Back to my lord, there are less than fifty people on the mountain, all of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and some people who have been taken captive."

"Oh, then let me ask you, do you know that a person named Mu Zhengqing was also robbed?"

"Wood, wood masachi? No, no, absolutely not, the little one doesn't remember having this person. ”

"Really, really?"

"The little one dares to promise, the small one has a good memory, you can go up and have a look if you don't believe it."

Wang Shen looked at Mu Yu not far away, saw her standing by the railing and talking to Feng Yu, and saw her coming over.

"Lord Wang, the little girl doesn't want to delay for a moment, I'll go up and rescue my father now." Mu Yu arched his hand and said that he was going to go up.

Wang Shen pondered his rhetoric for a while in the back, and said, "Eh, Miss Mu, this little minion said that your father is not in the Black Wind Village......

Mu Yu turned around suddenly and exclaimed, "What?!" ”

She grabbed the bandit, and the thief nodded hurriedly.

"How is that possible...... My dad wasn't caught, so where did my dad go? ”

At this time, Feng Yu also came over and asked, "What happened?" ”

"Lord Jun, Miss Mu's father is not in Heifeng Village."

"What......" Feng Yu exclaimed.

"I don't believe it, I'll go up and have a look."

Feng Yu hurriedly followed, "Miss Mu, I'll go with you." ”

The two went up the mountainside, and sure enough, they saw a stockade, Mu Yu kicked open the gate of the village without saying a word, and broke in directly. ”

"All of them, all of them are locked up in the back of the firewood room."

The two went to the back of the stockade in the direction pointed by the man, and sure enough, they saw one firewood room after another, Mu Yu smashed the door one by one, identifying them one by one, until the last one, but Mu Zhengqing was still missing.

"Daddy really isn't here...... So where would he be? Mu Yu was so anxious that he panicked and spun around in place.

"Miss Mu, we have been tricked, we must go back to Donglin County as soon as possible......"

Mu Yu suddenly woke up and understood something in an instant.

"Okay, then we'll go back now."

"Wait, can your body handle it?" Feng Yu said.

Mu Yu's eyes were red, "I'm fine." ”

When those people were freed, they all fled from the stockade, and when they saw a group of officers and soldiers below, they hurriedly ran to them and thanked them for their kindness.

Mu Yu and Feng Yu also came down.

Seeing this, the king knew that Mu Yu had not been able to find her father, so he comforted: "Miss Mu, maybe it was just someone's prank, maybe your father is sleeping at home now!" ”

Mu Yu shook his head, clenched his fists and said, "Lord Wang, thank you for your help and farewell." ”

"Uh, oh, go slowly, go slowly, don't send ......"

"Lord Wang, farewell!"

"Okay, go slowly!"

The two went all the way back to Xinzhou City along the road they came, and bought two horses again overnight and rushed to the East City Gate.

Zhang Xian, the general who defended the city, tried every possible way to keep Feng Yu, but he had no choice but to take it back.

Two men and two horses galloped in the night......

After two days and two nights, Mu Yu and Feng Yu finally arrived at Donglin Wharf, during which they also rested, so they were not very tired.

Here in the docks, however, was deserted, the loads of goods were still scattered on the deck and unloaded, and the wagons were halfway unloaded and left unattended.

Mu Yu beat a drum in his heart, generally no matter what happens, it is impossible for the dock to stop, even if the Mu family and the Feng family fight, it will soon be operational, if it is not for something terrible, the dock will never stop.

The two of them crossed to the other side by boat and two horses.

As soon as they landed, the two of them mounted their horses and headed towards Donglin City.

At this time, two large groups of people were surrounding the Mu family shop in Donglin City, and Mu Hong led a cadre of Mu family stewards and employees to confront Feng Huai, Zhang Qinghu and other people from the Mu family opposite.

"Feng Huai, please come out! If I can't see the master today, you won't want to touch our Mu family's shop! ”
