Chapter 203: Arrival in Tokugawa
Mu Fei happily took the ice bead and the dagger, his interest in the former was far more than the latter, and after trying it, he put it directly on his neck, while the latter Mo Hu found a leather sheath for him and pinned it to his waist.
Qin Yun still accepted the Heavenly Sword, if he still had the strength of the Qi Refining Realm, he might not be willing to take over this hot potato, but now that he has broken through the innate nature, he has the strength and the ability to keep the treasure.
The night was deep, and the sky was still covered with fine snowflakes, and it was getting colder and harder.
Those who survived the bloody battle returned to the earthen hut to rest, leaving only a small number of samurai on duty, but it was believed that there would be no more danger tonight, otherwise it would be extremely unlucky.
However, Qin Yun, Lin Lang, Mu Fei, Mo Hu and others had a private discussion in the room.
"The White Lady is not dead, but she was seriously injured, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to recover for a long time" Qin Yun told the truth: "There should be no more threats to us!"
The white lady didn't die, of course, it wasn't good news, but the old wolf was still happy: "It's already very good to be able to hit her hard, fortunately, Brother Qin, you are strong and smart enough, and you scared the horse thief in a few words, otherwise our losses today would be much greater!"
If the White Lady does not die, the morale of the horse thieves will definitely not collapse so quickly, most of them are outlaws who are not afraid of death, and once the number of people is large, once they launch a ruthless attack, Qin Yun alone will not be able to intercept the other party's crazy attack.
Therefore, the old wolf thought that Qin Yun's lies and deception were no more clever stratagem.
He is also a very decisive person: "But the White Lady is not small, and she also has many allies in the south to help. In order to prevent accidents, we will give up most of the burdens early tomorrow morning, and rush to Tokugawa Castle in Lu County with only the captured war horses and the most valuable goods!"
The south of Yanyun is very different from the north, Lu County is one of the southern princely counties, nominally belonging to the Great Yan Dynasty, but basically no different from the independent vassal states.
There were as many as seven or eight similar princely states, and there were alliances and antagonisms among them. There were constant disputes in the open and in the dark, and several counties bordering Tiannan Prefecture were often harassed by the Great Chu Empire, which led to skirmishes a few decades ago. The situation is still volatile.
The location of Roku-gun is relatively northern, so it is relatively better, and Tokugawa Castle is the seat of Roku-gun. It's safer.
The Hayashi Kee Trading House has a branch in Tokugawa Castle, so you don't have to worry about horse thieves when you get there.
After finalizing the plan, Lin Lang was about to leave, and at this time, Mu Fei took out the wooden box prepared in advance and handed it to him: "Steward Lin, this time we have caused you to have suffered so many brothers and injuries, and also caused the loss of your firm, this box of spiritual jade is my compensation, please accept it!"
He is bold in his shot, you must know that it is in the south of Yanyun. Lingyu is better than silver and gold tickets, but it is difficult for ordinary merchant families to take out a whole box of white Lingyu as a gift.
Lin Lang shook his head, and Zhengse said: "Mu Gongzi, you are our Lin Ji guest, no matter what you ask us for." We'll all do our best to help each other without extra pay!"
To be able to become a VIP of Lin Kee Commercial Bank, he must have an extraordinary background, and what he said is also the rules of the business house.
Lin Lang insisted on not accepting it, and Mu Fei did not insist anymore.
Lin Lang then said goodbye and left, and then Mo Hu also found an excuse to leave.
Only Qin Yun and Mu Fei were left in the room.
Mu Fei pondered for a moment. said: "Big brother, you saved my life today, we married Jin Lan, I don't think I can hide my identity from you anymore!"
As the old wolf and Qin Yun guessed, he really had an unusual identity background.
Mu Fei is the descendant of the Mu family in Yanjing City, the capital of the Great Yan Emperor, the Mu family has been loyal to the Great Yan Dynasty for generations, and the current head of the family is the auxiliary general Mu Tieyi, who has repeatedly led the army to fight with the Wu army and made great achievements.
Dayan's generals are divided into three generals, Zhenguo, Zhuguo and Fuguo, although the Mu family is thin, but the existence of Mu Tieyi Optimus Giant Pillar, the Mu family is also a famous family in Yanjing.
However, there were unforeseen circumstances, Mu Tieyi was suddenly framed, and Emperor Longwu personally ordered him to be stripped of his official position and sent to prison.
At this time, there are no charcoal in the snow, but there are many people who fall into the well.
Mu Fei, as Mu Tieyi's only son, could not support himself, so he had no choice but to sell his family property in a hurry, and went to the south under the escort of his retainers loyal to Mu Tieyi.
If he hadn't met Qin Yun and Lin Ji Trading House this time, I'm afraid he would not have escaped the pursuit of the White Lady, and the loyal retainers and warriors had also suffered a lot of losses.
As he spoke, the young man's eyes turned red.
Qin Yun couldn't help asking, "Then what are your plans in the future?"
Even if he had a heart-to-heart help, Qin Yun was powerless about what happened to the Mu family, he was just an inner disciple of the Heavenly City Sword Sect, and he was even more insignificant in the Qin family, so it was impossible for him to intervene in such a thing.
Mu Fei wiped the tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes, and said in a low voice: "I am going to Tokugawa to join my uncle, he is a confidant of King Lu Yanyi, and King Lu also has a relationship with my family, which is enough to protect my safety!"
Qin Yun nodded and said, "I will accompany you to Tokugawa, if you have difficulty gaining a foothold in Tokugawa in the future, you can come to Xuanwu City of the Heavenly City Sword Sect to find me, not to mention anything else, there is no problem for you to settle in Xuanwu City!"
This is a retreat just in case, who can guarantee that King Lu will not betray Mu Fei?
Thinking of his father who died early and his mother who was imprisoned in the forbidden palace, Qin Yun felt very sympathetic to the second brother in front of him in his heart, and was willing to provide him with help within his ability.
"Thank you, big brother!" Mu Fei saluted gratefully.
"Since you and I are brothers, don't be so polite in the future!" Qin Yun stretched out his hand to support him: "I'm really not used to it!"
Mu Fei smiled slightly, and a thrilling look appeared on his handsome and incomparable face.
Qin Yun's heart jumped, thinking that if his righteous brother changed into women's clothes, he didn't know how many men he would deceive.
Suppressing the strange thoughts in his heart, he hurriedly said: "I will go to Lingyang in the name of my master, send you to Tokugawa and then transfer to Jingnan County, and then return to Tokugawa to see you after finishing things." ”
Mu Fei really regarded Qin Yun as the backbone, and replied without hesitation: "The younger brother is all at the command of the eldest brother...... When it was dawn, the light snow that had been falling all night finally stopped.
The reorganized procession continued on the road, the wagon laden with goods was simply abandoned, and the caravan took all the horses and four light carriages with people and hurried on the road to Lu County as fast as possible.
After two days and two nights, the team finally entered the scope of Lu County, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu County was not bad under the rule of the prince Wang Yanyi, at least there were smooth roads on the plains, and the cultivated fields and farms could be seen on the roadside, although there were not many people in the winter, but it was much better than the original uninhabited wasteland.
After walking on the road for almost three days, the population became denser and denser, and a majestic city standing among the mountains finally came into everyone's sight.
Tokugawa Castle has arrived!
There are a lot of merchants and horse-drawn carriages on the wide official road, and from time to time there are cavalry teams in leather armor and armed weapons cruising by, and on both sides of the road are mostly high and low residential estates, showing the prosperity that a big city should have.
After paying a fee to enter the castle, the convoy entered Tokugawa Castle.
After entering Tokugawa Castle, it was time to part ways.
Lin Lang said reluctantly: "Little Brother Qin, I know that you have something to do, and I don't invite you to sit down with our Lin Ji Semiconductor, if you have a chance to see you next time, I will invite you to have a good drink!"
The guards of the caravan also stepped forward to say goodbye, they were used to seeing life and death, and there was no pretension.
Qin Yun returned the salute with his fists one by one, and watched the caravan leave before continuing on the road with Mu Fei and the others.
Mu Fei's uncle Wang's family was in Tokugawa Nancheng, and after inquiring, it took a lot of effort for the group to find the location of his mansion.
After the report from the porter, a middle-aged man with a white face and beard hurried out.
Seeing this man, Mu Fei immediately rolled over from the horse and fell, threw himself directly into his arms, and cried excitedly: "Uncle!"
"Fei'er!" The middle-aged man looked up to the sky and sighed, tears rolling down his cheeks: "Uncle was worried day and night after receiving your letter, and now that you have come safely, my heart can finally be put down!"
He shook his head, lifted his sleeve and wiped his tears, and said with a smile: "I'm so happy, you have come all the way, it must be very the road, hurry up to the mansion and have a good rest, I have prepared a room and servants for you." ”
"Thank you, uncle!" Mu Fei wiped away his tears and let go of his embrace, turned to Qin Yun, who dismounted at the same time, and introduced: "Uncle, this is my eldest brother Qin Yun who married Jin Lan on the way, thanks to him who repelled the White Lady, otherwise I wouldn't have seen you!"
"White Lady, could it be the White Lady, one of the four great cowards?" The middle-aged man was shocked, and looked at Qin Yun with a very strange look: "How did you escape?"
Yannan Lu County belongs to the scope of activities of the White Lady Horse Thieves Group, and he has done a lot of robbing houses in the past, and he is also famous in Lu County, he really can't believe that this weak-crowned young man in front of him can actually repel the White Lady!
He didn't know that Qin Yun almost killed the White Lady, otherwise he would really have his jaw dropped.
Qin Yun took a step forward and saluted the middle-aged man, "Heavenly City Sword Sect Qin Yun, I've seen my uncle!"
He knew that the other party's surname was Wang, but he didn't know the name, and it was the junior etiquette who was neither humble nor arrogant...... Thank you for the reward of the city Baiding!(To be continued)rq
