Chapter 26: Jiangzhou
Jiangzhou City, located in the southwest of Bashu, has become an important waterway town in and out of Bashu in the south because of the three rivers flowing through the city.
At night, the lights of Jiangzhou City are thousands of homes, and the river water through the city reflects the lively night markets on both sides of the river, dotted with stars, bright and bright. On all kinds of colorful boats in the river, there are bursts of singing and dancing. I think it's a Goolan wine shop on the river, so as to attract people's attention.
The number of pedestrians on both sides of the strait is even higher than during the daytime. This is mainly because of the humid heat in Bashu, and the scorching sun during the day, which makes people not like to go out. In the evening, it is much cooler, and it is even more elegant to stroll through the light town in the moonlight.
"In front of it is the family mansion, and a few young masters can live there with peace of mind. The group walked through the lively street market, and as soon as they reached a quiet back street, they saw Yang Ling pointing to a mansion in front of them and said. The so-called family mansion is an inn jointly established by various families in the great wilderness, which only provides food and lodging for the children of the family. Jiangzhou is one of the six cities of Sichuan and Shu, and naturally there is a family mansion.
"It's finally time to get some rest. Mu Yuncheng glanced around and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I also asked a few people to hand over the family waist card to their subordinates for check-in procedures. Yang Ling's words reminded everyone, only to see Mo Yiyue and Ye Feiyu both hand over their waist cards to Yang Ling, but Mu Yuncheng and Mu Tangtang glanced at each other, and both shook their heads helplessly.
"Where do I still have this kind of thing? I don't know where I threw it. Mu Tangtang pouted and said.
"Mine is lost...... Blame the damn stinky scorpion. Mu Yuncheng complained.
"Then you two can only live according to the specifications of the next person. Ye Feiyu's words seemed to contain more mockery.
"If you go down, you will go down, what's the big deal. Mu Tangtang glared at Ye Feiyu and muttered in a low voice.
I heard Mo Yiyue say softly to Mu Tangtang: "It's okay, if you don't get used to it, you can live in my room." I'm used to coarse tea and light food in the mountains, and it's the same everywhere. ”
Hearing Mo Yiyue say this, Mu Tangtang waved his hand again and again and said, "No, no, no, I don't care about this." I just don't know if my eldest nephew is used to it. ”
When Mu Yuncheng heard this, he was about to show that he didn't really care where he lived. But before he could speak, he heard Yang Ling say: "The rooms of the subordinates are all of the same standard, and they all live in one place. Miss Mu is a daughter, and it is inconvenient to squeeze with men. ”
Seeing that Yang Ling said this, everyone didn't argue about anything. Entering the mansion, Yang Ling handled everything, Ye Feiyu and Mu Tangtang lived in the two upper rooms on the second floor, while Mo Yiyue and Mu Yuncheng lived with Yang Ling in the large room in the corridor downstairs.
The big room where the next person lived was not as crowded and messy as he imagined, with more than a dozen clean beds, neatly placed in the room, and a two-person wide aisle in the middle.
At this time, it was late at night, and several people in the room who were already asleep suddenly heard someone coming in, and immediately sat up together and carefully looked at the comer.
The beds of the three were next to each other, and Mu Yuncheng was chosen between the two, saying that it was so convenient to take care of.
When the people saw that they were also staying in the same place, they continued to sleep with confidence, and after a short time they snored thunderously.
"Whew, I can't sleep. Mu Yuncheng was so noisy by this snoring that he couldn't sleep, so he simply got up and wanted to go out for a walk.
Mu Yuncheng got out of bed cautiously, for fear of waking up the people around him. But as soon as he got out of bed, he heard Mo Yiyue ask softly, "It's so late, what else are you going to do?" The room was empty, although it was a low voice, but it also startled Mu Yuncheng.
"I can't sleep, I want to go out for a walk. Mu Yuncheng said truthfully.
"You go out alone, how can we rest assured?" After saying that, Mo Yiyue also got up and got out of bed, seemingly going out with him.
"I'll go out for a walk and come back, don't bother you, you can go to sleep." "It's so late, and I woke up Mo Yiyue to go out with me. Mu Yuncheng was a little ashamed and said hurriedly.
"Let's go, and when you're tired, we'll come back to sleep together." Mo Yiyue turned around and glanced at the sleeping Yang Ling, and motioned for Mu Yuncheng to hurry up.
After the two left, the room was quiet again, except for the sound of thunder and snoring. I saw Yang Ling slowly open his eyes, but he never fell asleep.
Mu Yuncheng wanted to go to the long street along the river that he had just passed by, but Mo Yiyue took him to the restaurant to drink. Said to drink some, and then I felt sleepy. It can be seen that he asked around from time to time about the location of the Lu Mansion, and Mu Yuncheng knew that he was not really accompanying him out for a walk, but had other plans.
"Who doesn't know in the city of Jiangzhou, Lufu? Go down this road, turn to the left at the end, and see two big stone lions. "The second child of the restaurant received Mo Yiyue's reward money, and he was busy.
"What are you asking about the Lu Mansion for?" Mu Yuncheng finally couldn't hold back anymore and asked.
Mo Yiyue only said: "It's convenient for you to go with me tomorrow to pay respects." ”
"What! I didn't say I was going to go with you. Mu Yuncheng felt that Mo Yiyue was inexplicable, why did he accompany him to meet the leader of the Western Sword Alliance, he was not in his charge, he did not ask for him, and he did not have any festivals. Why do you want to pay homage?
"If you don't want to go, don't go around. Last time in Taoling Town, I let you mess around for a day because of something. Don't run around this time. Mo Yiyue was kind enough to instruct, but she didn't want Mu Yuncheng to be angry because of this: "You are busy with yours, I will do mine." It was supposed to be a very harmonious thing, but you actually took me for a fool and 'kidnapped' me everywhere. ”
"Have you forgotten all your second uncle's words?"
But this time, Mu Yuncheng was obviously really angry, and only listened to him: "Don't always talk about my second uncle, even if my second uncle is here, I dare to say it." I came out to play, but you always let me stay at the inn, does that make sense?"
"You are not a cautious person, and you are a man of many words, and you are prone to injustice. This will inevitably lead to quarrels with others, and even fists and kicks. Mo Yiyue didn't want to say this, but she was afraid that he wouldn't be able to recognize herself at the moment.
Sure enough, Mu Yuncheng was angered by Mo Yiyue's words, stood up and nodded at him again and again: "Okay, Mo Yiyue, I just found out today, you just look down on me at all." What are you doing together? In the future, you take your Yangguan Road, and I will take my single-plank bridge, and our well water will not interfere with the river water, and no one will provoke anyone!"
The noisy restaurant suddenly fell silent, and the eyes around were attracted to the two of them for a while.
"What's wrong with you? Mo Yiyue wanted to pull him to sit down, but Mu Yuncheng threw him away. He was angry at the moment, there seemed to be tears in his eyes, and his lips were buzzing as if he wanted to refute something. But then he didn't say anything, suddenly turned around, and ran out of the restaurant without looking back.
"Yuncheng!" Mo Yiyue hurriedly chased out, but was separated by the crowded flow of people in front of the restaurant. In the blink of an eye, Mu Yuncheng's figure was gone.
Mo Yiyue slapped her palm on the railing by the river, feeling remorseful. Now that I think about it, I really shouldn't have said those words to Mu Yuncheng. He is stubborn by nature, so how can he listen to this? He just thinks that he is insulting him and looking down on him.
"Yuncheng ......" Mo Yiyue looked at the river and sighed deeply.
"It turns out that in your eyes, I am actually a waste! Second Uncle is like this, Ye Feiyu is like this, and Mo Yiyue is like this! Yes, I can't live if I don't know swordsmanship, but I can't live if I don't know swordsmanship? I just want to prove to you that I can live well myself. Mu Yuncheng didn't know how far he had run, but he left the hustle and bustle and arrived in a quiet place.
He wasn't a person who likes to get angry, but today, for some reason, he suddenly lost his temper with Mo Yiyue. More precisely in the gas.
At this moment, looking at the calm river, Mu Yuncheng's mood gradually calmed down. Although Mo Yiyue often takes care of his own affairs, he also takes care of himself in every way along the way, if he can't find himself at the moment, will he be very anxious?
"Just let him be anxious, and when they really can't find me, I'll go back, so that they won't dare to provoke me again. Mu Yuncheng muttered to himself softly.
The moon is like snow, and the night is silver.
Looking at the clear river under the moonlight, Mu Yuncheng sighed to himself. And right now, there is a small boat tied to the shore. What a poetry it would be if you could sail on the river at this time.
He suddenly had an urge to let go on the river.
Seeing that there was no one around, Mu Yuncheng jumped on the boat, but there was no one inside, seeing this, Mu Yuncheng said in his heart: "No one cares about the left and right, I will send you back when I run out." ”
When he had finished speaking, he went to untie the rope to the railing.
"The ship has been prepared for you, and you go out of the city overnight, so that no one else can see you. ”
There was silence all around, and the voice was low and dark, and it was clearly heard from the shore.
"Oh no, the owner of the ship is back. Now he will be regarded as a thief stealing a ship. Mu Yuncheng was so anxious that he spun around again and again, and when he saw that there was no hidden place on the left and right, he simply hid in the cabin.
"You must be secretive during this trip, and after handing over this letter to Sect Master Lu, you will come back as soon as possible. ”
"Sect Leader Lu......" Mu Yuncheng was familiar with this name when he heard it, and suddenly remembered that this name had also been mentioned in the mouths of the group of Star Sea Sect members on the Thornfish. "Could it be that these people are colluding with the Xinghai Sect?" Mu Yuncheng held his breath and hid in the cabin and thought secretly.
"Okay, my subordinates will go right away. As soon as the words fell, Mu Yuncheng felt that someone jumped onto the boat, and then the boat shook. There was a creaking sound of the oars, presumably carrying them out of the city.
