After walking for seven days on the road to reach Muda Town on the border of Southern Hunan Province, and it took seven days to find a decent big inn, the team of relatives decided to rest in the town for a whole day. Yun Ze asked Tiger Skin to send a set of men's clothes to Qingrang Room, and after a while, a handsome little brother went downstairs, just as the owner's daughter went upstairs to deliver food, and the "little brother" rubbed shoulders, a stunned food, in the shopkeeper's scolding, Yun Ze led the "younger brother" out for a walk.

"Have you been suffocating in the carriage these days?" Yun Ze looked at Qing Rang's deliberate appearance of learning from a man to walk, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

Qing Rang turned his face back, bit his red lips lightly, and the moment his long eyelashes rose from the bottom up, he was more delicate than before, and Yun Ze secretly sighed that no one would think that this was a boy.

"My body is fine, but my heart is really depressed." Qingrang slowed down his pace, "I always heard my father say that the world is chaotic now, but I don't feel that I have been in Linsu these days, passing by those small villages and towns, looking at those refugees as if they were going to pick us up, my heart is really not good." ”

"The magistrates have no intention of governing, and the court is busy with party disputes, and only the people suffer."

Qingrang nodded, and then looked at the sides, "I have to say, the whole thing is different when you enter Nanxiang, at least there are not so many homeless people on the road, and there are many shops, which is quite comfortable." It seems that the Yu family still spent some thought on governing Nanxiang. ”

"It also looks like this on the surface, but the store reminded me that I can't go out at night, saying that some outlaws in the neighborhood often come out at night, and murder and overselling often happen."

"With the eldest brother here, I don't worry about that, I also heard from the store that the glass beads in this town are very good-looking." Qing Rang pulled Yun Ze to walk on the road in a hurry, kept looking at the shops on both sides, and wanted to go back early, Yun Ze let her pull, his steps were not in a hurry.

"Childe came at an inopportune time, and the shop is not open on this day of the month." I finally found a shop that sold colored glass, but the door was closed, and I asked passers-by, and the uncle explained.

"Is there any other place in town that sells glass beads?" Qing Rang asked.

"No, how can this craft be known to everyone, and this is the only one in Muda Town."

Qing Rang looked at the tightly closed door, feeling a little disappointed, "I heard that the master of this family can carve lotus flowers in glass beads, and I thought I would buy one for you to take back to my father, so that it can be placed in front of my mother's tomb." ”

"I'll buy one and give it to my dad when I get back."

"What I buy is the same as what you buy!"

"Why is it different?"

The two argued, and heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from a distance, and after a while, the horse stopped in front of them, and the tiger skin jumped off the horse, "Young master, miss!" ”

"What's so flustered!"

Tiger Skin whispered in Yun Ze's ear, Qing Rang could also hear it, a shiver in his heart, before he could react, Yun Ze had already mounted a horse, pulled Qing Rang up, and protected Qing Rang with his arms, and ran towards the inn with his legs between the horse's belly.

In the Qingrang room, there was no trace of a fight, Jin Niang was still trembling, and there was Ling'er's corpse lying on the ground, only a scar on his neck, and a sword was closed.

"Miss!" Jin Niang looked at it carefully, holding Qing Rang's hands coldly, "I just went downstairs to prepare for some bird's nest, and when I came up, I saw ......"

Yun Ze checked the wound, and then checked some traces in the house, "It's not like a burglary, the things in the house are not lost, if it's for us, then it seems that this person has been with us for a long time, and we haven't been staying for long, but looking at the traces of his escape, there should be a plan." ”

"Miss, who could it be? I don't think he will be targeting a girl in Ling'er......" Jin Niang felt another convulsion in her heart when she thought that someone was going to kill his young lady.

"He came for me, but he didn't necessarily come to kill me," Qingrang looked at Yun Ze, "Since he has been with us for a long time and knows our whereabouts so well, then he should also know that Ling'er is just my maidservant, and he may have killed Ling'er to give me a warning." As for what to warn me of, I don't know. I just wondered, after following us for so long, the wilderness is not a better place to start, why do you have to do it here. ”

"I think it may be because this is in Nanxiang." Yun Ze's words made please seem to have figured out something, but he didn't dare to continue to think about it, because there were still three days to go from here to Nanxiangyu Mansion.

"Big brother, do you want to repair the book and send someone to send it to the Yu family first?"

"I'm afraid it's too late at this point, and if those people's purpose is really what we think, then do you think they will let my people send the letter out?"

"What then?" Jin Niang was worried and took Miss's hand, "I see that Nanxiang is not a peaceful place, why don't we go back to Linsu, Miss?" ”

"Jin Niang, don't make a mess at this time, how can Qing Rang go back to Linsu, this is not in the hands of those people......"

Qing Rang suddenly grabbed Yun Ze, who was a little impatient, "No, big brother, I think Jin Niang is right, let's go back to Linsu!" ”

Yun Ze's face was incredible, but he was destined to be unable to win Duanmu Yunze, who was not able to win Duanmu Qingrang. Just an hour later, Ling'er's body was carried out and buried, Duanmu Yunze frowned and ordered the family team to reassemble, Jin Niang helped Qing Rang back into the carriage, and in less than an hour, the family team set off in the direction where it came.

The owner of the inn chased after the team and shouted that the guest officer hadn't settled the bill yet, Duanmu Yunze only looked back, frowned and threw out a silver ingot. The innkeeper kept cursing with the silver, it was really unlucky, how could he pick up customers in the future after he died, and it was too stingy to give only one ingot of silver.

In the middle of the night, there was no one to fight in the town of Muda, and the doors were tightly closed, and even the moon in the sky hid behind the clouds, as if the long procession had never come.
