Volume 1: The Boy Shows His Edge Chapter 155: The Situation Is Becoming Urgent
In the lobby, there was silence for a moment, everyone's eyes came, and Mu Qing said as usual: "I am going south this time to build a new medicinal material trade route." ”
Because of the unique geographical environment, Tiannan Marsh Forest is a spiritual land that even ordinary people in the imperial dynasty know about the birth of heavenly and earthly treasures, Lin Wen's eyes suddenly said, "Gongzi wants to understand the area of Tiannan Marsh Forest, but unfortunately Tiannan has been in chaos for many years, and now we don't know much." ”
Lin Wen said "now", Mu Qing already knew from Sun Ren's mouth that these people sitting here were all the guards of the city lord of Vermilion Bird City before, he shook his head and smiled: "Tiannan is in a mess that he can't resist Vermilion Bird City, what I want to know is that Vermilion Bird City's opinion on Tiannan, if you want to use sword soldiers, I might as well have a preparation in advance." ”
"People who have no long-term concerns must have near-term worries, but Childe thinks far. Lin Wen stroked his beard and smiled, quite agreeing with Mu Qing's opinion, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Before, well, when we were still in Vermilion Bird City, at that time, Tiannan Marsh Forest and Vermilion Bird City signed a contract to help each other, Vermilion Bird City's grain cloth, Tiannan's medicinal herbs and spiritual materials, there will be a large transaction every few days, and the exchanges are very frequent. Now, I only know that His Majesty faintly wants to include Tiannan in the territory. ”
As the sharpest weapon in the hands of the emperor, and as the master of the army, the middle and high levels of the army can understand some intentions.
Mu Qing listened carefully, and didn't ask them why they left, "Have you heard any rumors about the second master recently?"
Bai Jiahe is still a fellow peony student, and Mu Qing is a little worried that the other party will find him along the vine.
Lin Wen and Lin Pan looked at each other and did not make a sound, Lin Pan's two thick eyebrows jumped up and down, and the urn said angrily: "Childe inquired about what these things were, last time that Geng Jian was almost planted in my place, and I apologized to those people in the Iron Bone Village." Some time ago, they also came and said that they wanted to take me into account and wanted to use us as cannon fodder, but I didn't agree, and they had already cut a line with each other, each going their own way, after all, if we want to talk about the origin, we are only with Vermilion Bird City. Lin Pan consciously said too much, and hurriedly stopped, "Childe, I'm sorry, I complained for a while, and I talked too much." ”
"It's not pleasant to vomit. Mu Qing groaned: "The owner of the village didn't say anything. I guess they did something to Tiannan?"
Lin Pan knew that it was better to talk less when dealing with smart people, he obviously didn't say this, Mu Qing may have guessed based on his complaint, Lin Wen smiled slightly and said: "Childe can guess casually, we didn't say anything." ”
"Well, drink and drink. Mu Qing's face was still relaxed and casual, but his mind drifted further south.
After lunch, even Lin Pan, who was a little rougher, noticed Mu Qing's absent-mindedness, and didn't keep it anymore, and after handing over the two brothers and sisters of Wuling and Wuqing to Mu Qing, they were sent all the way to the official road.
"Owner of the village, don't pass by, there will definitely be contact in the future. Mu Qing bowed his hand to Lin Pan and glanced at Sun Ren.
Lin Pan held Mu Qing's wrist and said with a smile: "Son, we are also people who have eaten together a few times, you are my Lin Pan's life-saving benefactor, if you don't come to me, I will send Sun Ren to find you then, rest assured, in the future, you and Mrs. Wang's caravan will come to my iron bone village, and there will be good wine and meat waiting for you." ”
"Definitely. Knowing that he couldn't fly back to Wanhua Valley directly like Yutai Feiji and them, Mu Qing temporarily suppressed the dryness in his heart, and after being polite with everyone, he led the way out of the Iron Bone Village.
On the way, Mu Qing, who had led the road for two hours, reduced his speed, rode alone beside the carriage, and walked slowly with the carriage.
In the early summer of April, the afternoon sun was not roasting, and without the group of oil bottles in the Iron Bone Village, Mu Qing and his party were a little faster than before.
In the past, the entire convoy had a total of three carriages, but now there is an extra one, so Liu Yueshan and Wu Qing can ride, and Mu Qing, who has been driving for two hours, has reduced his speed and rode alone beside Liu Yueshan's carriage, slowly walking with the carriage.
"Childe. Wu Ling patted his horse and followed, reluctantly squeezing out a flattering smile.
His eyebrows were twisted together, beads of sweat on his forehead fell on his eyelids, and he rode his horse in a strange position, his upper body leaning forward, his feet standing on the stirrups, his thighs grinning to the sides, his buttocks pouting back, and he did not really touch the saddle.
He was already thin and tall like a bamboo pole, but at this time, as the horse's back bumped up and down, it looked like a dummy inserted in the crop field and chopping a rotten clothes, and when there was a wind in his face, he would flutter with the wind, which should be able to frighten the birds.
Mu Qing turned around and happened to see this miserable and funny scene, a little funny, and said, "Don't be reckless, let's take a carriage next." ”
Wu Ling cracked his mouth and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
When leaving the Iron Bone Village, Liu Yueshan asked the brothers and sisters to sit in the same carriage with her, but in order to express himself, this kid also had a sense of avoiding suspicion in his heart, and he also chose to ride a horse like Mu Qing, which was this decision, and now his thighs no longer dare to hit the saddle, bleeding and peeling, and his life is about to be killed.
"Why are you so stubborn. Mu Qing frowned and thought for a while, a little suddenly, and said with a smile: "My mind is not on your brother and sister all the way, could it be that you have been worried all the way?" ”
Wu Ling didn't expect Mu Qing to directly guess the uneasiness in his heart, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly turned his head and shouted into the carriage: "Sister, sister, the son is outside, you shout quickly." ”
The chuckle passed through the car curtain, and the slender and slender onion white fingers pulled up the half-rolled car curtain, and Liu Yueshan's half face was exposed next to the small window, and said softly: "Wuling, the thighs are worn out of the skin, what is strong? Do you think there is a difference between men and women? I heard your sister say, you are only eleven years old, and you are still a stinky boy, my sister is not afraid, what are you afraid of?"
"Aunt Liu, isn't it a mess for us to call it like that?" a swarthy melon seed face squeezed on the window edge.
"It's not messy, let's each shout, your brother is here, I used to think he was an adult. Liu Yueshan said and moved out of the way.
On a melon seed face, the first thing Mu Qing noticed was the pair of feathered jade eyebrows, the eyebrows were slender, obliquely upturned, like beautiful black feathers, when the eyebrows moved lightly, the lively breath hung on it, and it couldn't be hidden. Under the lively and agile eyebrows is a pair of Ruifeng eyes, the tails of the eyes are slightly upturned, a little smiling, although the eyes are rolling, but the gaze is not moving, and he is looking at Mu Qing curiously.
Mu Qing looked at this little face, and the first sentence that came to his mind was "Why is this little girl as black as Taijing", and then reacted and said with a smile: "Your name is Wuqing, why don't you wash your face?"
Wu Qing's eyes slowly widened, obviously stunned, a little overwhelmed, and softly shouted, "I've seen Childe", and hurriedly blocked the little face with his white little palm.
Wu Ling was a little embarrassed and explained: "My sister is smarter than me, I am usually not by her side, she will grind charcoal into powder and smear it on her face, and often show off, saying that ugly girls are invincible and will not affect Brother Dao Sun." ”
Liu Yueshan sighed a little, "That iron bone village is a bandit's nest, and Xiaoqing has to be ugly." ”
Mu Qing could understand, and showed a kind smile like a big brother to Wu Qing, and said, "It's been so long, why haven't you washed your face yet?"
Wu Qing just twisted it, then put down his hand, Ying Ying said: "I can't be a trouble, whether it's Aunt Liu or Gongzi, they are all good people, I can't add trouble, in case, in case, I meet mountain bandits on the road, they will definitely not take me to blackmail everyone when they see me like this." ”
Even if Liu Yueshan had listened to the little girl's explanation, he was still a little sad, Mu Qing's eyes shook slightly, as if he remembered the days when he fled with his sister Peony, and couldn't help but slap Wu Ling's shoulder, so that this kid sat firmly, and his thigh hurt that it was not his own, "Your sister is thinking about you, your kid is still almost strong, and you have to practice martial arts diligently in the future." ”
Wu Ling agreed with a cracked smile, and when he looked at his sister, he couldn't help but straighten his waist.
Mu Qing slowed down, in fact, he wanted to explain something to Liu Yueshan.
"Sister Yueshan, can you still hold on to your body?"
Liu Yueshan shook her head and chuckled: "I'm fine, but the medicine on your body has to be changed, and when I find the campsite in front, I will change the medicine for you." ”
The child died in infancy, even in the rich family, it is not uncommon, Liu Yueshan's heart disease is caused by many reasons.
In the past few days, since the days when she took care of Mu Qing in Qingchuan Pass Town, she has done something, and she doesn't think too much sadly, her complexion is getting better day by day, and now there is another Wu Qing who can speak, in just half a day, Liu Yueshan's heart is even more down-to-earth, she regards Wu Qing as her daughter, which is why she asked Wu Ling to call her sister and Wu Qing to call her aunt.
Mu Qing nodded slightly, "In the next part of the road, you may have to continue to hurry, Sister Yueshan must tell me if she can't hold back." ”
Liu Yueshan frowned and said, "What's the urgency?" I see that you have been absent-minded since you left the Iron Bone Village?"
"It's my sister's business, don't worry. "It is useless to say these things to Liu Yueshan, "When I get to Vermilion Bird City, I may leave for a while, Sister Yueshan, you can talk to Mrs. Wang more during that time, well, or walk around with Miss Wang." ”
Liu Yueshan was a little worried in her eyes, "You don't have to worry about me, if it's inconvenient for Mrs. Wang, I can act on my own." ”
Mu Qing's eyes moved, Liu Yueshan Hui was in a blue heart, and it was normal to be able to guess his worries, she proposed that Mu Qing was a little moved, but after thinking about it, she still refused: "No, if Wuling's strength is enough, it's okay, Sister Yueshan, you should contact Sister Xiuwei at that time, Mrs. Wang will return to Vermilion Bird City, maybe, no, she will definitely be monitored." So try to minimize the contact with Mrs. Wang on the bright side. ”
At this time, Mu Qing deeply realized what it was like to say that Yue Jiu once said that one person is small and his strength is weak.
He doesn't have no helpers and companions, let alone the magical doppelganger technique of Feiji, if Liu Yueshan can act alone and directly cut off the connection with him and Wang Yeqing, it will be the safest for Liu Yueshan, and now he can only retreat to the second best thing and reduce the contacts on the surface.
