Chapter 9: Blocking the Road
Mu Wan'er didn't think so, she didn't believe Zhang Ningyu's smiling face, she had experienced it once, and even behind the smile, there was a femme fatale hidden in it.
She opened her mouth lightly, nothing more than words teasing Zhang Lan and Zhang Ningyu, and when Zhang Lan was faintly angry, she agreed to come down.
"Going to the temple to pray for my mother is a matter of duty, and Wan'er will definitely not shirk it." Mu Wan'er was gentle and respectful, "It's just that when I leave the Mu family, I'm afraid that there is a shortage of food and clothing in the temple, or I will go to the temple to pray for my mother and come back one day." ”
"Naturally, you don't have to worry about this, I will ask the housekeeper to allocate some silver to you." Zhang Lan said.
Zhang Ningyu's face was a little unpleasant, Zhang Lan glanced at Mu Wan'er lightly, and let Mu Wan'er leave before Zhang Ningyu couldn't pretend.
Out of the East Garden, Xiao Tang, who was waiting at the door, hurriedly went over to ask the reason, and learned that she was asked to go to the temple, Xiao Tang was a little worried.
Mu Wan'er said with relief: "The Mu family is full of people, and we can't do something we can't do, so it's better to leave so that we can act." ”
Xiaotang was even more worried, and her delicate little face wrinkled, "Miss, what are you going to do, can you tell me?" ”
This matter is not clear, Mu Wan'er didn't want Xiaotang to think about it too much, she was silent and didn't speak, Xiaotang didn't have the temperament to break the casserole and ask to the end, seeing that Mu Wan'er didn't speak, she just thought that Mu Wan'er was inconvenient to say, so she didn't ask more.
In a short time, the steward brought in money.
In order to send Mu Wan'er away, Zhang Lan also made a lot of money, and sent a lot of silver, and Mu Wan'er was ready to use this silver as the starting capital.
Following.
The carriage was prepared early, Mu Wan'er led Xiaotang to the temple, after boarding the carriage, Mu Wan'er closed her eyes and recuperated, Xiaotang pinched the burden and was a little nervous and excited.
"It's just a trip, do you need to be so nervous?" Mu Wan'er noticed it, raised her eyes and looked at Xiaotang and quipped.
Xiaotang's cheeks flushed, and he snorted, "I'...... I wasn't nervous, just a little excited. ”
Hearing this, Mu Wan'er covered her mouth and chuckled, and shook her head helplessly.
The carriage had not been moving for a short time when it suddenly stopped, and the sound of the coachman's stuttering sounded.
"Big, big girl, there are, someone robbed the way!"
Mu Wan'er's face sank, and when she opened the curtain to take a look, she found that some gangsters were blocking the way.
The goal of that group of gangsters was very clear, as if they were specifically targeting Mu Wan'er and them, blocking the way and holding a dagger in each hand, seeing two little girls sitting in the carriage, they became more and more fearless.
Mu Wan'er's eyes were cold, she opened the curtain and got out of the carriage, Xiaotang was worried, and then jumped down and grabbed Mu Wan'er, "Miss, don't be impulsive, they are nothing more than robbers, we just give them to them." ”
Mu Wan'er snorted coldly, "What if I don't give it?" ”
Xiaotang was dumbfounded, and the gangsters on the other side heard it, squinting his eyes and looking at Mu Wan'er.
"If you know each other, stay to buy road money, we will definitely not hurt you half a point, if you don't know each other, don't blame us for not piping on the jade!" The leader of the thugs said coldly.
"Really?" Mu Wan'er hooked the corners of her red mouth, took the burden in her hand from Xiaotang's arms, and took two steps forward, "The silver is here, if you have the ability, you can take it yourself." ”
The gangsters showed a greedy light, and they didn't want to rush directly towards Mu Wan'er, Mu Wan'er motioned to Xiaotang and the coachman to step back, and when the gangsters rushed over, they used their burdens to knock them down one by one.
These gangsters, there is actually no threat on the surface, they are just three-legged cat kung fu, and they were beaten down by Mu Wan'er one by one after a while.
Mu Wan'er looked at the gangsters condescendingly, raised her legs and stepped on the back of the leader, and the gangsters in the lead lay on the ground and couldn't move, begging for mercy again and again.
"Woman! Woman! Spare me, I won't dare again! ”
"Are you robbers here, or are you here on purpose?" Mu Wan'er's phoenix eyes flashed with a sharp light, questioning the gangsters.
The thug hesitated for a moment before he said, "We...... We're here to scare passers-by......"
Mu Wan'er took in the gangster's expression, and felt that things were not so simple, she kicked on the gangster, and the gangster hit the trunk of the tree, and she couldn't get up in pain.
"Hey, isn't this Miss Cousin's money bag?" Xiao Tang stared at the money bag that fell out of the gangster's body and muttered in confusion.
Hearing this, Mu Wan'er noticed the money bag on the ground, she stepped forward to pick it up, and found that it was indeed Zhang Ningyu's money bag.
Up and down the Mu family, everyone's money bag is different, and Zhang Ningyu's money bag is embroidered with the word "rain".
She squinted her eyes and came to the person in front of the leader, and asked, "Did Zhang Ningyu send you?" ”
Seeing that the matter was revealed, and Mu Wan'er was obviously the person they couldn't afford to provoke, they scolded Zhang Ningyu in their hearts, with a flattering smile on their faces, "We also take money to do things......
"In that case, I have accepted this silver, and you go to Zhang Ningyu to ask for the benefits that belong to you."
Saying that, Mu Wan'er directly threw the money bag to Xiaotang and asked Xiaotang to put it away.
The gangsters tried to discuss with Mu Wan'er, but as soon as they saw Mu Wan'er's cold eyes, they were suddenly speechless, and after laughing, they helped each other to leave.
Sitting back in the carriage, Mu Wan'er's face was solemn.
Judging from today's events, it seems that she is going to speed up the formation of her own forces, but she is shy and has no way to find a suitable candidate.
Thinking of this, Mu Wan'er sighed, raised her hand and pressed her eyebrows.
Xie Yu's cold appearance suddenly flashed in his mind, Mu Wan'er's slender jade hand clenched his fist, and then let go, and the corners of his mouth flashed a trace of bitterness.
suffered such a big loss in the last life, where does Mu Wan'er still have the face to find Xie Yu now? What's more, there is a prince behind him, if Xie Yu gets close to him, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be calculated by the prince.
This time, she must try her best to protect Xie Yuquan!
"Miss, are you feeling unwell?" Xiaotang has been paying attention to Mu Wan'er, and when she saw Mu Wan'er pressing her eyebrows and clenching her eyebrows, she couldn't help but worry.
Mu Wan'er slowly opened her eyes, and her eyelashes trembled.
"No problem."
"If Miss is not feeling well, you must tell me." Xiaotang was still not at ease, and spoke again.
After a while, the carriage stopped, and Mu Wan'er and Xiaotang both got out of the carriage and came to the gate of the temple.
The little monk saw Mu Wan'er and her party, hurriedly came over, folded her hands and asked, "Is the female benefactor here to offer incense?" ”
"When you come to pray for your mother, you have to be in the temple for a while." Mu Wan'er said softly after returning the salute.
The little monk understood, led Mu Wan'er and his party to the dormitory, and told Mu Wan'er some things to pay attention to on the way.
Stopping outside the squatter's house, the little monk did not go in, "This is where the female benefactor lives." ”
"Thank you."
Sending the little monk away, Xiaotang cleaned up the dormitory, and Mu Wan'er was ready to go out for a walk.
