Chapter 54: Visiting Relatives in Mufu
For this question, the people of the Blood Shadow Guard also want to know, this "master" appeared inexplicably and cleverly, and then disappeared again inexplicably, and the only explanation is that he is the same person as the strange old man.
Yan Xintong shook her head, Ouyang Ling didn't ask anymore, just shook the gourd, and then said: "There are still such things in the world, it's really amazing, those people are really masters outside the world, I really don't know how to become such an existence."
No one could answer Ouyang Ling's question, in the basement of the princess's mansion, everyone was trying the water in the gourd, and everyone took a sip and turned into different unfamiliar faces.
Looking at these unfamiliar faces, Ouyang Ling sighed in her heart, not to mention that he didn't know him, even they didn't know each other, holding the mirror and sighing.
"You guys are still here tonight for one night, I'll go buy some things tomorrow morning and let them deliver them, and then you will leave with those people," Ouyang Ling said slowly.
The people present also nodded, and then joked with each other, Miao Ze originally wanted to become a beauty, but somehow, the gender just couldn't be changed, he could only become a slender man, and he was completely a different person.
And Yan Xintong and Huo Linglang have become old women and little girls, they are all ordinary people, and they can't be found in the crowd at all.
"Sister Xintong, this is much more clever than your disguise technique" Guan Hongyi became an uncle at this time, and said happily.
Yan Xintong replied: "Of course, the disguise technique is always to change the appearance with the help of external forces, but this posture is difficult to change, and the voice, good eyesight can be seen at a glance."
"By the way, you are not the same as before, you must speak and act in line with the way you are now, so as not to attract suspicion from others, it is best to put away the bad habits of the past, especially the fat people"
Yan Xintong said, looking for Miao Ze, but after watching for a long time, she didn't tell who was Miao Ze, and asked, "What about the fat man?"
The thin man standing in front of Yan Xintong said dissatisfiedly: "I'm here, every time I use it as a negative teaching material, can I change someone?"
Yan Xintong looked at the stranger in front of her awkwardly, and shook her head, she really didn't recognize it just now, or she forgot it. Guan Hongyi asked, "So we can be together?"
Yan Xintong shook her head, "No, too many people will arouse suspicion from others, so it's better for us to separate." Let's make a mission, don't cause trouble, it is estimated that the entire cloud country is wanted by us"
After that, they got acquainted with each other in the basement and rested, Ouyang Ling also went back to rest, but Huo Linglang couldn't sleep for a long time.
Yan Xintong hugged her and comforted: "Long Yu will be fine"
"I wonder how he's doing, will he come to me on impulse?"
"With Grandpa Long in charge, he won't let Long Yu go out of Yunjing, besides, we are like this now, Long Yu can't find it, the princess will make it clear to him" Yan Xintong said.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Ouyang Ling took a lot of servants to buy things and bought a lot of furniture back, and the princess's mansion seemed to be newly renovated, and people kept coming to deliver things, and things kept moving out.
The eyeliner of the three princes also noticed the abnormality of the princess's mansion and hurriedly reported it to them. The three princes had brought a lot of people, nominally to help, but in fact to check on suspicious people, and they were now sure that the people of the Blood Shadow Guard must be hiding in the princess's mansion.
There were many people standing around the door of the princess's mansion, always paying attention to the movements, but the three princes were busy for a day and didn't find anything, Ouyang Ling really seemed to be changing furniture, and those people were all ordinary people.
This made the three-dimensional prince very puzzled, and when he was still in the princess's mansion late at night, he had nothing to talk to Ouyang Ling, and Ouyang Ling ignored them.
When everything was done, only the three princes and Ouyang Ling were left, and the third prince asked: "Fourth sister, there is no one now, you just tell us the truth, where are they?"
"That's right, Fourth Sister, we all know that they are here, you can hand them over, we won't do anything to them, don't you let them go back with us to investigate" The second prince echoed on the side.
The prince didn't say a word, staring at Ouyang Ling. Ouyang Ling glanced at them, and then replied coldly: "They are gone, and they will not come to me in the future."
The prince jumped up and shouted: "Impossible, we have been here for a day, and we are surrounded by our people, no matter how high their disguise skills are, they can't escape our eyes."
"Believe it or not, if you want to search for you, you can go," Ouyang Ling replied coldly.
"Hmph, do you think we don't dare, come here" The prince shouted, and more than a dozen people immediately came in.
The second prince hurriedly said: "Don't be angry, the fourth sister is not afraid that we will search if he dares to let us search, so the fourth sister said that they are gone, maybe they are really not here."
"Hmph" The prince thought about it, and sat down with a cold snort, the second prince hurriedly asked those people to retreat, and then asked with a smile: "Fourth sister, you also know that they can't escape from Yunjing, and if you let them out, aren't you afraid that they will be caught immediately?"
Ouyang Ling was silent, but the third prince snorted coldly and left with someone, and the second prince continued: "Since the fourth sister is so confident, why don't we make a bet?"
The prince said dissatisfiedly: "It's all this time, you still have the heart to bet"
Ouyang Ling replied, "How do you want to bet?"
The second prince said leisurely: "Bet that they can't escape from Yunjing, and we will catch them all before the martial arts conference." As for the bets, if we catch them, you give us the news of the old five, and we won't do anything to them."
"If we can't catch them, we are willing to apologize in person, and we will also go to Yang's house to apologize in person, and we will never trouble the fifth child again. How?"
The prince on the side said dissatisfiedly: "The fifth child is abolished, and you are still worried about it"
Ouyang Ling thought for a while and replied, "Yes."
The second prince smiled slightly, "Yes", and took the prince away. Out of the princess's mansion, the prince asked puzzledly: "The news of the fifth child is worthless, besides, we can find it ourselves"
The second prince said slowly: "It's not interesting to find it yourself, if the fourth sister betrays the fifth child, what do you think the fifth brother will think?"
The prince thought about it, glanced at the second prince, and said: "You are really insidious, you want to separate the relationship between the fourth sister and the fifth sister." The fifth sister has always been helping the fourth sister, so the fifth is really lonely and completely wasted."
"Hahaha, that's exactly what it means," the second prince said with a smile, walking towards his mansion.
In the past few days, Yunjing is still vigorously searching for the people of the Blood Shadow Guard, and the entire Yunjing has been disturbed by the Imperial Forest Army, and the number of people who do business and come from other places is decreasing day by day, and the checkpoints at the city gate have been checked over and over again, which is very strict.
Just like that, a month has passed, and there is still no news from the Blood Shadow Guard, the Blood Shadow Guard seems to have evaporated from the world, and there is no trace at all, but it has saddened the three princes.
Above the court, there was slowly less discussion about the matter of the Blood Shadow Guard, and Ouyang Jin was also happy to be quiet, dealing with the big and small things of this Cloud Country every day, as if this matter had never happened.
The Yang family also regained calm, although there were still many people secretly staring around, but finally no one came to harass them anymore, and Yang Yan and Poria went shopping as usual.
Long Yu was released after being arrested for three days, the evidence was insufficient, coupled with the pressure of Old Man Long in the back, Ouyang Ling's maneuvering. General Long Yu's position was withdrawn, and he also landed idle, wanting to find Huo Linglang and Long Lan, but was stopped by Ouyang Ling.
Ouyang Ling told the Yang family and the Long family the news after the Blood Shadow Guard left, and came to the Yang family to find Yang Yan and Poria if she had anything to do, Long Yu also came often, and the four of them chatted in the Yang family's small courtyard, talking and talking, which was very pleasant.
Because of the matter of the Blood Shadow Guard, I originally agreed with Mu Lingfen that I would visit Yang Luochen's grandfather, but now it has also been postponed. Early this morning, Mu Lingxiang took Yang Yan and Poria out of the door and went to Mu Mansion.
Mu Lingxiang explained a lot along the way, Yang Yan's head was big when she heard it, she didn't remember anything, the three of them took a carriage, went out of Yunjing, and arrived at the gate of a compound far away from the city.
"Chen'er, don't take anything your grandfather says later," Standing at the gate, Mu Lingxiang instructed again. Yang Yan nodded, and Mu Lingxiang pulled him and Poria into it.
This compound is much larger than the Yang family, located on a mountain, surrounded by beautiful scenery and fragrant birds. The courtyard is also carefully arranged, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, although it is not as good as the Medicine King Valley, but compared to the Yang Mansion in Yunjing, this place is much better.
The subordinates along the way all called "Miss" very politely when they saw Mu Lingxiang, and they all shouted "Young Master Sun" to Yang Yan.
After passing through the layers of courtyards, the three of them finally arrived at the lobby, where a white-haired old man, dressed in a gorgeous black brocade suit, walked out quickly, and pulled Yang Yan to look left and right, with a smile on his face, but tears in his eyes.
"Chen'er, let grandpa take a good look. If you lose weight, you must have suffered a lot," the old man asked.
Mu Lingxiang on the side hurriedly said: "Father, let's go in first, don't stand at the door"
"Yes, yes, come on, come in and say," the old man pulled Yang Yan into the lobby, which was empty and only the old man was alone.
The old man sat in front of him, Mu Lingxiang sat on the left, Yang Yan sat on the right, and the old man said: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back, you can worry your grandfather to death"
Mu Lingxiang asked, "What about my mother?"
"She, she went to burn incense, saying that she was praying for Chen'er. Chen'er has been absent for the past few years, and she goes to the fifteenth day of every month. Some time ago, I heard that Chen'er was back, and she was going to Yunjing to see Chen'er, but I stopped her."
"I also heard about what happened in Yunjing, I asked him not to make trouble, plus you sent a letter saying that you would bring Chen'er to see us in a few days, but I didn't expect to wait for more than a month. He was afraid that something would happen to Chen'er again, so he burned incense diligently these days."
Mu Lingxiang sighed and said, "It's hard for my mother."
"It's hard why, if I knew that burning incense would be so effective, I would have gone too," the old man said with a smile as he looked at Yang Yan.
"Huh?" After listening to the old man's words, Mu Lingxiang looked at him very strangely and asked, "Father, are you not sick?"
"Your dad and I are very good. I really didn't believe in those strange powers before, but after Chen'er came back, I began to believe that God had really opened his eyes, and those gods and Buddhas who were full of heaven had really appeared," the old man said slowly.
Mu Lingxiang looked at him very strangely, and then remembered something and asked, "What about the eldest brother?"
"Oh, that kid always quarrels with me at home, let me get out, and now he lives in Yunjing."
"Quarrel?" Mu Lingxiang said in surprise, a little incredulous, because in his impression, his eldest brother has never contradicted his father since he was a child, he has always been obedient, and his style of acting is very similar to his father, and he is also very liked by his father.
"Well, it's nothing, it's just a little thing, I thought he was too annoying, so I kicked him out," the old man said lightly.
Mu Lingxiang looked incredible, because the father in front of her and the previous one were really two people, and she didn't know her anymore because she didn't have the old-fashioned one before.
"What about Xiaowen and Xiaowu?" Mu Lingxiang then asked.
"Xiaowen took his daughter-in-law to be an official outside, Xiao Wu's words are in the Imperial Forest Army, and the family also lives in Yunjing"
Mu Lingxiang's mind was a little confused, because he didn't know any of this, so he couldn't help asking: "I don't know any of this."
The old man hurriedly said: "I'm afraid that they will go crookedly, if you aunts know about it and help them secretly, wouldn't they go through the back door, so I haven't told you."
"Father, you are really good enough" Mu Lingxiang didn't know what to say, and then thought of something, and then said: "Little sister will come later, you can explain it to him yourself"
The old man was stunned for a moment and asked, "Didn't you tell me that the girl was also back?"
Mu Lingxiang smiled bitterly, "We have already made an appointment, they will come in a while, you can explain it yourself when the time comes"
The old man thought for a while, as if he had made up his mind, and said: "I ask myself to be a person with a clear conscience, walk right, and sit straight, what is there to question me?"
Yang Yan and Poria were like outsiders, they chatted together at all, and then Yang Yan learned that this old man's name was Mu An, who had been a scholar before, and then resigned, and had been living here.
Yang Yan and Mu An chatted sentence by sentence, and Mu Lingxiang on the side also told Mu An in detail about Yang Yan's current situation, Mu An's face was a little sad, but he still tried to hide it.
The four of them were chatting in the lobby, and suddenly someone hurriedly ran in and shouted: "Master, the concubine and the princess are here, and they have arrived at the door."
Mu An hurriedly got up and ran out in a hurry, Mu Lingxiang behind him hurriedly helped, and said in the innermost: "You slow down, slow down"
Mu An didn't pay attention to it at all, and while walking eagerly, he said: "This can't be slow, how can your little sister say that she is also a concubine, don't be lazy"
Yang Yan and Poria also went out, slowly and leisurely following behind, chatting and gossiping while enjoying the scenery of this Mu Mansion.
Before I reached the door, I saw Mu Lingfen walking over with Ouyang Ling, followed by Mu An and Mu Lingxiang, and many people carrying gifts to follow, the team was very large.
Ouyang Ling saw Yang Yan and they hurriedly ran over, and started chatting with Poria, Yang Yan didn't interject, Mu Lingfen looked at them with a smile on her face, and then whispered something to Mu Lingxiang.
The group came to the main hall, Mu Lingfen sat on the upper seat, and after ordering the gifts to be placed, those who brought them also left.
Mu Lingfen, who was originally holding the shelf, breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a low voice, "Are you all gone?"
Ouyang Ling nodded, Mu Lingfen quickly got up, pulled Mu An and said, "Dad, you go and sit there, I still like to sit down."
Mu An hurriedly shook his hand and said, "No, no, no, concubine Niangniang, with you, I dare to do there"
