Chapter 33: What if I could save your father?
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Mu Yu went home to wash and change clothes, and then went to Liao's house with Feng Yu to visit Liao Yuanshan.
The little guy at the door went in to report, and after a while, he came out and led them into the hall of Liao's house.
In the hall, Liao Yuanshan was reprimanding the two mothers-in-law. Because of the discovery that Liao Yurong had not returned all night, Liao Yuanshan was furious and found the two mothers-in-law who served Liao Yurong to scold. The first to find out that Liao Yurong had not returned all night was Liao Yuxuan, when he went to look for his sister, he found that his sister and the personal maid were not there, and there was only one letter on the table, which was written by Mu Yu to Yurong.
It wasn't until the little maid in the family came to inform Mu Yu and the county king of the visit that Liao Yuanshan stopped reprimanding the two mothers-in-law and hurriedly greeted them.
When he arrived in the front yard, Liao Yuanshan saw Feng Yu and Mu Yu behind him from a distance.
He bowed: "Meet the king of the county." ”
"Please." Feng Yu didn't care much about these etiquettes, and said lightly.
Liao Yuanshan straightened up and glanced at Mu Yu behind Feng Yu with a complicated gaze, wanting to ask his daughter but was hindered by Feng Yu's presence.
"The king of the county, please."
Liao Yuanshan led Feng Yu and Mu Yu to his hall.
The three of them were seated in the order of host and guest.
"Yu'er, do you know that Yurong didn't return all night?" Liao Yuanshan was already slightly angry.
Mu Yu hurriedly explained: "Uncle Liao, I invited Yurong and the king of the county to visit Nanshan the day before yesterday, my maid Xiaowan and Yurong's maid Si Qing strayed into a deep forest in Nanshan and got lost, I and Yurong, the king of the county and his junior brother looked for them together, and ended up strayed into a village where the villagers were very hospitable, and they helped us find Xiao Bang and Si Qing, but Si Qing's leg was more seriously injured, so I could only stay there, I heard about my father when I came back last night...... I'm sorry to explain it to you this morning. With that, Mu Yu stood up and bowed deeply.
Hearing such a reason, Liao Yuanshan relieved himself, but his daughter was still staying in a strange village, which still made him very worried: "I see." I also deeply sympathize with your father's plight...... But where Yurong stays, can you make sure she's safe? He slapped the armrest of the chair under his palm a few times to ease his nervousness.
"It's okay, Uncle Liao, don't worry, the junwang's junior brother and my maid also stayed there to take care of their master and servant."
"If you say that, then I'm relieved, you said that the village is in the mountains and forests, so can you find it again?"
"Yes, I know the route."
"I'll send someone with you, when will you go back?"
Mu Yu originally planned to send someone to pick them up as soon as she came back, but now that something happened to her father, she was afraid that she would not have so much time......
By the way, there's an uncle here!
"We can't go back for a while, but one of the villagers came back with us, and I thought the uncle might be able to help......"
"Well, that's fine, as long as Yurong can come back safely."
"Yes...... Uncle Liao, we are here today, in fact, there is one more thing......"
Liao Yuanshan was stunned for a moment, but still said: "Yu'er, if you have something to say, just say it." ”
"My father was kidnapped by the people of Heifeng Village, and you heard about it yesterday, so have you heard of the bandit den in Heifeng Village?"
"I've heard of this Black Wind Village, Black Wind Village specializes in robbing homes and robbing houses, and it is also specialized in the Xinzhou area, there is still some distance from here, your father may have been targeted on the way back. I heard that they had three leaders, one with a black face and a black beard, and armed with a large sword; a white-faced bearded man with an iron fan in his hand; There is also a thin monkey with extremely nimble hands and feet. These three people could not be apprehended, and they acted in extreme concealment, and they were said to be well-trained...... The soldiers and horses of Xinzhou were planted in their hands. ”
"Is my dad really hopeless?" Mu Yu's heart was even more desperate.
Liao Yuanshan sighed and said, "Yu'er, I can't help your Uncle Liao." ”
Feng Yu, who had been silent, suddenly said, "President Liao, do you know how many people there are in this group?" ”
"I've heard of a thousand. But I can't say, who knows, no one has ever seen these people, and those who have seen them have become underground ghosts. Liao Yuanshan shook his head and sighed.
"Alas, I think there were a few groups of bandits in Donglin City back then, but they were all born by some nearby villagers, the rabble, there is nothing to worry about, and there was no big storm, they were all beaten away by several families, and some of them killed people and were hung on the city gate, and no one dared to come to Donglin City to rob things and make trouble in the future, but I didn't expect it to be now...... Alas! ”
Liao Yuanshan recalled the past, and compared with the present, he sighed with emotion, and said: "Yu'er, in fact, my uncle has sent someone to Xinzhou to inquire about this matter, I believe there will be results, you also have a little confidence, your father is blessed with a great life, I hope he can survive this catastrophe." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Liao."
"This is what I should do, you don't have to thank me, I have been friends with your father for many years, he is in trouble, how can I stand by and watch, the reason why I can't help is actually my weak strength."
"Uncle Liao's willingness to help is already a great favor."
Liao Yuanshan waved his hand.
"I wonder if the king of the county has any good solutions?" Seeing that Feng Yu was silent, Liao Yuanshan asked, in fact, he also hoped that Feng Yu could have a way to deal with those bandits, after all, Feng Yu had led the three armies to attack the next country, and with his strategy and combat ability, it was likely that there would be a way.
Unexpectedly, Feng Yu shook his head, "They are elusive, and I don't have a good way." ”
Liao Yuanshan was a little disappointed.
"Uncle Liao, I plan to sell my property, and I may be able to raise enough money to save my father."
Liao Yuanshan exclaimed: "By all means, these family properties were founded and developed by your father bit by bit, how can you say that you can buy them, and the time is urgent, and they will be sold in just seven days, isn't that a big loss?" ”
"My father's life is much more expensive than this gold, I have made up my mind, Uncle Liao don't persuade me anymore. I'd like to ask Uncle Liao for a favor. ”
"What's the busy, you say."
"I would like to ask Uncle Liao to contact the buyer for me, and I will auction it at the auction house the day after tomorrow."
"This ...... Alas, well, things outside the body of money can be restarted. Liao Yuanshan said helplessly, "In this way, when I get in touch, I will send someone to inform you." ”
"Then you'll have to do it."
"Uncle Liao, I'll go back and tell that uncle that Yurong will come back safely."
"Okay, I'm relieved to have you as promised."
"Uncle Liao, Mu Yu farewell." Mu Yu didn't want to delay for a moment.
Feng Yu also stood up and said goodbye.
Liao Yuanshan got up, "King of the county, please." ”
Out of Liao's house, Feng Yu asked, "Miss Mu, do you really want to sell your property?" ”
"Yes, if you don't sell your property, my father will really die."
Feng Yu stood still and said, "What if, I have a way to save your father?" ”
