Seeing that Chen Mu had no intention of saying more, the county magistrate immediately bowed his hand and did not continue to say anything.

Just to say hello, after a few words of gossip, Chen Mu and Meng Qing left from the back door of the county government with people.

Came and went in a hurry and did not attract anyone's attention.

After escorting Chen Mu and Meng Qing out of the county office, Lord He originally planned to follow Chen Mu and Meng Qing around the town.

However, Chen Muji said that many merchants in this town already knew the identity of Lord He, and if he was allowed to follow him, his identity would definitely be exposed.

So Chen Mu drove Lord He back, and Lord He seemed to be a little reluctant and uneasy.

However, due to Chen Mu's prestige, Lord He finally returned to the mansion and did not continue to follow Chen Mu.

Seeing the sun sinking in the west, Chen Mu and Meng Qing took a turn around the town.

Chen Mu saw that a little tired color appeared on Meng Qing's face.

When he was about to take Meng Qing back to the inn to rest, he saw Meng Qing suddenly exclaim, and then raised his hand to the end of the long street.

Chen Mu was stunned, and also looked up at the end of the long street.

I saw that there was a slight light flashing at the end of the long street, and it was someone walking through the long street with a paper lamp, as if he was about to rush to a certain place.

The paper lamps in those hands were delicately styled, and Chen Mu raised his eyebrows in some surprise.

He didn't know what kind of folk custom it was.

He was also a little curious, and after glancing at each other with Meng Qing, the two immediately quickened their pace and walked towards the end of the long street.

When they reached the end of the long street and glanced in the direction where those people left, Chen Mu and Meng Qing both stared in surprise.

It turned out that there was a separate market at the end of this long street.

The market is only open at night, and the people who pass by on the long street are holding lanterns in their hands.

While talking and laughing with the people around him, he was wandering the street.

Chen Mu saw those people holding paper lamps and going around the side of the long staircase towards an arched bridge on the side of the street.

Chen Mu raised his eyebrows, he pulled Meng Qing to the arch bridge, and when he looked around, he found that those people had put the lanterns he had prepared into the water.

"It's probably a festival in this town, but I'm not a subject of your Great Xia, and I haven't heard of this festival, have you heard of it, Your Royal Highness the Prince?"

Meng Qing turned her head and glanced in Chen Mu's direction and asked curiously.

Chen Mu was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head silently, he didn't know.

Maybe it's just a festival for the townspeople of this town.

The festival was not widespread and was only popular in the town and the villages around it.

"Look, it's quite lively, Your Royal Highness the Prince, can you accompany me around that street market?"

"Although it's not early now......"

Meng Qing is a playful person, and she is not a native of Great Xia.

Now that he saw this market, he felt even more novel, he grabbed Chen Mu's sleeve and pleaded pitifully.

When Chen Mu saw Meng Qing's appearance, it was naturally impossible to refuse Meng Qing's request.

He nodded in agreement, and led Meng Qing in the direction of the market.

They didn't notice that not far behind them, a group of people quietly followed them.

That group of people was none other than Xu Shang.

When Xu Shang heard that Li Mao had taken his younger siblings and defected to the young man who had stopped the ruffians he had sent out that day, he was furious.

After some inquiry, he learned that Chen Mu was very interested in the textile equipment in Li Mao's hand, and the merchant was alarmed.

He also set his eyes on the textile equipment in Li Mao's hand.

When he was passing by Li Mao's house, he listened to Li Mao and his younger siblings boasting.

It is said that after the textile equipment has been studied, once it is put into use, it can allow a family to weave ten pieces of cloth in one day!

Although Xu Shang scoffed at the textile equipment that Li Mao said at that time.

But in the past few days, he looked at Li Mao's research on the textile equipment and seemed to have an eyebrow, and he also moved with it.

If he could snatch this textile apparatus, wouldn't his shop be able to weave more cloth.

That way, he can make more money from the fabrics.

And if he can get his hands on the textile equipment, he can also save the money of hiring a textile craftsman!

This is a good thing for him!

It's a pity that Li Mao's guy is a monkey spirit, he sent someone to sneak into Li Mao's house, wanting to steal the textile equipment that Li Mao was studying.

But Li Mao placed the textile equipment in his bedroom.

Every night when I take my younger siblings to sleep, I lock the door of my bedroom.

The thieves he sent went in and out of Li's house several times, and they were all able to steal the textile equipment in Li Mao's hands.

In desperation, he simply sent someone to find Li Mao, intending to buy the thing from Li Mao's hands.

But Li Mao said that the thing had not been studied yet, and he didn't want to sell it to others.

And even if it is sold, the money given to the Xu merchants is too little.

Xu Shang only thought that Li Mao was planning to open his mouth, and in a fit of anger, he sent out a ruffian hooligan to block Li Mao.

Thinking that he would send a ruffian hooligan to deter him, Li Mao could obediently hand over the textile equipment.

As a result, he didn't expect that someone suddenly jumped out and intervened! Rob this good thing!

Annoyed, he heard that the man even intended to win over Li Mao and let Li Mao enter his family's house to study the textile equipment.

Xu merchants were even more angry.

Oh, Li Mao is not a fool, so naturally it is impossible to believe this pie in the sky.

Although Xu Shang didn't believe it, he still secretly raised his vigilance.

After sending someone to Li Mao's house again, trying to snatch back the textile equipment from Li Mao's hands, but failed.

Xu Shang heard that Li Mao stayed at the inn where Chen Mu and others lived.

It was only at this time that Xu Shang finally became uneasy.

He also realized that Li Mao was probably preparing to sell the textile equipment to Chen Mu.

He didn't want people to rob them of it, and he knew the value of the textile equipment.

And he didn't know the identities of Chen Mu and Meng Qing.

After sending people to keep an eye on Chen Mu and Meng Qing, and after learning that Chen Mu and Meng Qing had gone to the market, he immediately sent out the ruffians and hooligans, intending to use these ruffians to deter Chen Mu and Meng Qing and make them hand over Li Mao.

He also knew that the guards led by Chen Mu and Meng Qing were not bad.

Therefore, the few ruffians he was looking for were still those practitioners in the neighboring town.

With these people, they were able to catch Chen Mu and Meng Qing after all.

He didn't want to be rough with these two people, so he only told his own people, let them surround Chen Mu Mengqing, shock them, and let them let Li Mao go.

But he didn't expect it.

Chen Mu's identity is extraordinary, and the guards he brings are also trained and extremely alert.

As early as when the gang of ruffians and hooligans followed Chen Mu and Meng Qing, those guards sensed that something was wrong.

The leader of the guards stepped forward and whispered a few words into Chen Mu's ear.
