Zhao Yanyan and Hu Junge drove into the market town, and the road conditions improved, so they didn't have to worry about the carriage getting stuck in the quagmire.

The market town is not too lively, except for the signs. There was a large crowd of people near the sign, and these people formed a circle, making it difficult to see inside.

The sound of the gong "When ......" spread far and wide.

The official at the sign shouted, "Come here, hurry!" ”

Hu Junge and Zhao Yanyan ran over to take a look, and then heard the official say, "Do you recognize the woman in the painting?" ”

The crowd shook their heads.

Hu Junge breathed a breath, turned his face sideways, and found that Zhao Yanyan was looking at him with the same expression.

The woman in the painting is none other than Xiaowan.

The official at the notice board said: "Once you find her, report it to the court immediately, and after verifying the situation, you will be rewarded." ”

"How much ......?" the crowd asked.

Hu Junge and Zhao Yanyan returned to the frame, both of them thinking back to what had just happened.

Zhao Yanyan said: "Old Hu, what should I do?" ”

Hu Junge raised his hand, pressed it down, and said, "This matter is in a hurry, wait first, confirm that the news is correct, and then talk." ”

"How so? Why is Xiaowan wanted by the imperial court? ”

Hu Junge hesitated, "Let's ...... first Rush back, Edgeworth, and head to the Sword Sect at full speed. ”

Zhao Yanyan immediately responded: "Okay." ”

"I hope it's not a big deal, it's better to misunderstand." Hu Junge muttered.

Zhao Yanyan said: "Xiao Wan has always lived in a shallow way, and eighty percent of it was a mistake made by the imperial court. ”

Hu Junge said softly: "I hope so, alas...... It is better to believe that it is there than to believe that it is not. ”

The two of them took care of the frame and the old Mato, and then Edgeworth headed south.

In Yongtai City, Xiangzhou, Lin Sang'er took off her hat, and a trace of doubt flashed in her smart eyes.

"Miss, this person is ......," said Du Xi, who was standing aside.

Lin Sang'er brought a hat, "Follow me." ”

The master and servant walked to an inn.

Lin Sang'er took off the hat, and she put the hat on the table, "It's that Xiaowan." ”

"What happened to her?" Du Xi frowned.

Lin Sang'er said: "I don't know, I haven't heard from her for a long time, she seems to have been staying in the Sword Sect, why was she suddenly wanted by the imperial court?" ”

She turned her face sideways and muttered in her mouth, as if she was saying to Du Xi, and as if she was talking to herself.

Du Xi smiled bitterly and said, "This is not a good thing for the young lady. ”

"I know what you're thinking, don't say it." Lin Sang'er said.

Du Xi closed his mouth, rolled his eyes a few times, and said no more.

Lin Sang'er said: "Now you and I have something to do." ”

Du Xi asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"With what I know about him, something happened to Xiaowan, and it is impossible for him to ignore it."

Du Xi asked again, "And then?" ”

And then, and then...... We've got to figure this out. Lin Sang'er said helplessly.

"How do we check?" Du Xi was even more helpless, "This is Dongze, we have the ability to check in Beihua, but in Dongze, it's too difficult, how to check?"

Lin Sang'er said: "Then find a way to find Yan Qing as soon as possible." ”

"What's the use of finding him? And one more point, how to find him? Xiao Wan had an accident, it was impossible to stay in the Sword Sect, and Yan Qing might not be in the Sword Sect either. ”

"Find it first." Lin Sang'er sat down on the table, not looking like the eldest lady of the Lin family, "I still have to go to the Sword Sect first." ”

Du Xi clasped his hands into fists and said, "Obey!" ”

…………

At the same time that Xiaowan was wanted by the imperial court, Mu Fan was still in the frame, and the old man who was driving the car was still driving the car.

Mu Fan didn't know that something had happened to Xiao Wan.

There is no one on the mountain road, and there are bandits in Jiezhou, and there may not be a living person within a radius of dozens of miles.

Mu Fan came out of the frame, sat on the top of the frame, and looked around. Pitch black, apart from black, is the sound of wild beasts foraging.

Ordinary mountain bandits would not build their camp here, and it was indeed safe here, but without a caravan, they could not rob anything. The mountain bandits who dare to build their base camp here must not be weak, otherwise they will not be able to fight from a long distance.

"Uncle Zhang, is it safe here?" Mu Fan asked.

The old man who drove the car was surnamed Zhang, he looked back at Mu Fan on the top of the frame, and said with a smile: "You can sit there with confidence, it is absolutely safe." ”

Mu Fan said: "This is the way to New Leaf City." ”

Uncle Zhang smiled: "Exactly." ”

"Grandpa in New Leaf City?"

Uncle Zhang nodded, "In New Leaf City." ”

Mu Fan said: "In this way, the underground armor trade in Jiezhou ...... The Mu family is really doing it. ”

Uncle Zhang shook his head and said, "Wrong, it's not the Mu family doing it, it's the Mu family and the night end doing it together." ”

"Also, it's hard for a family to withstand the pressure."

Uncle Zhang smiled: "The head of the family is old, and in a few years, you will be the new head of the family." ”

Mu Fan sighed lightly: "I don't have the ability to manage the Mu family right now. ”

"There is no ability to learn."

"Uncle Zhang, don't hide it from you, I feel like I can't control the Mu family." Mu Fan spoke his heart.

Uncle Zhang said: "Do you know? The people in the family who oppose your successor are already dead, and all of them died in the battle with the Xuanmen and the imperial court. ”

"Secretly it's harder, isn't it?"

"Yes!"

Mu Fan said: "I want to use a peaceful way. ”

Uncle Zhang said: "Let's hear it." ”

"Use something to prove my ability and get their approval."

Uncle Zhang smiled: "You think it's simple, many people oppose your succession, not because you are young, have no qualifications, and your strength is not enough, but because they also want to be the head of the family." ”

Although the Mu family is a family, most of them are not related to each other.

Mu Cai received a lot of righteous sons, and sometimes, these righteous sons would help the Mu family against the enemy; Sometimes, these righteous sons will have other thoughts, such as replacing Mu Fan!

Uncle Zhang said: "It is not enough to convince people with virtue, you must kill them with thunder." ”

"So ......"

"The head of the house has prepared a big fat pig for you, and all the incriminating evidence has been prepared. Once you succeed to the throne, find an opportunity to get rid of him, this is the best way to establish your prestige! Uncle Zhang talked about how to kill people like a family chatter.

Mu Fan could imagine what it would be like.

It's hard to stand alone, and there must be a group of small fat pigs under this big fat pig. In the future, if you kill a big fat pig, you will also die a group of small fat pigs, and how many little fat pigs will die will directly affect the results of prestige establishment.

Uncle Zhang continued: "Since the head of the family broke his legs, the Mu family is not as peaceful as before, and the undercurrent is surging, so I have to prepare early!" ”

"I understand." Mu Fan looked around, "Bian Shiyun is our man. ”

"Hmm."

There are two groups of mountain bandits in Jiezhou, one is the three-mountain walled city of Wenmao Weizhou, and the other is the force headed by Bian Shiyun.

The frame drove in the mountains, drove through the mountains, and entered the new leaf city, and there was still no momentum to stay.

After a few more days, the frame drove out of Xinye City and into Nanpi City.

There is a lake in Nanpi City, the area is not large, and the radius is less than 100 miles. There is an island in the lake, with steep mountains on one side and gentle terrain on the other.

Mu Fan rode the frame to the lake, he jumped off the frame, and said, "Grandpa is on this island?" ”

Uncle Zhang nodded.

Mu Fan said: "You didn't lie to me this time? ”

"This time it's true."

Mu Fan said: "Where is Bian Shiyun?" ”

Uncle Zhang said: "Bian Shiyun is also here, and the New Leaf City side is just a disguise." ”
