Chapter 387: The Ice Sea Peak Previously Only Existed in Ancient Books
Mu Ya walked towards the nearby silver shop, a road she often visited. When she reached the alley near the silver shop, she saw the little girl who used to do laundry and mending here with her mother, lying on the ground in the alley.
Mu Ya hurried over.
"Little Peach." She pushed the little girl.
The little peach was frozen purple, so Mu Ya took off his cloak and wrapped the little peach in it.
"Little Peach. Where's your mother?"
The little girl still didn't wake up.
She had no choice but to carry the little girl outside. Someone nearby was staring at Mu Ya silently.
Then he looked at the woman next to him, "Is this the maid from the rich family you mentioned?"
"Yes." The woman looked at the other person flatteringly, "Look, she is so generous to my daughter. How could a poor maid be willing to take off her cloak?"
The other party looked at Mu Ya again.
A fine cotton jacket with a very ordinary pattern.
There were only two plain silver hairpins and a worthless wooden hairpin on her head.
The little cloves on the ears are also very cheap.
It was the same outfit that any village woman would have, except that she was wearing fine cotton clothes.
"Where is the master?"
The woman smiled flatteringly and said, "In our most remote town, Yonghe."
The man slapped the woman on the head. "Nonsense! How can there be the richest family in a remote town? Rich families naturally live in the county town."
The woman cried, "I don't know any rich people in the county town."
The man kicked her against the wall again, and she rolled down after hitting the wall.
The woman spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Master, that maid is indeed from a wealthy family. I once saw her wearing silk and satin clothes, with a glittering golden hairpin in her hair."
"Tsk. I don't believe you."
The man kicked Mu Ya and watched her leave coldly.
In the end, he still looked at which direction Mu Ya was going.
Mu Ya had just picked up Xiao Taozi when she heard some noise. Her heart skipped a beat, and she didn't walk towards the silver shop while holding Xiao Taozi.
Instead, he walked towards a narrow street.
There is a street where ordinary people go to buy things.
The man frowned, revealing a red venomous snake on his wrist. "I want to cause some trouble in Shihan County, and I want to make some extra money so I can leave."
"Xiaohong, where do you think we should go?"
The little red snake bent its body.
Mu Ya placed Xiao Taozi in a tofu shop and gave the shop owner a hundred coins to ask them to help take care of her.
"Where is Xiao Taozi's mother?"
The tofu seller thought for a moment and said, "I think I saw her leaving with a man."
"He was sneaking around and staring at people entering and leaving the jewelry store."
Mu Ya was cautious. "Thank you for your help. I have something else to do, so I won't stay here. Tell Xiao Taozi that I won't be coming to the county in the near future."
"Okay. Miss Mu, go and do your thing."
Mu Ya responded, "Please weigh out 20 kilograms of bean curd sheets for me, and send these two plates of tofu to the usual place."
"Hey, I'll get ready."
The tofu here is better than the one in Yonghe Town.
Mu Ya buys some every time she comes.
"Auntie, do you know how many strangers have come to the county recently?" Mu Ya pretended to be casual and asked, "I heard that there are no merchants during the Spring Festival, and the shops in Yonghe Town are doing very poorly. Many shops have closed down and are preparing to go home for the Spring Festival."
"Now that you mention it, I remember. There have been quite a few unfamiliar faces showing up lately."
The tofu seller thought about it carefully and said, "They don't look like traveling merchants. They look more like people from the underworld."
"I'm eating and sleeping in the inn and restaurant. I carry swords with me. In previous years, even the county town is much quieter at this time."
“It’s more lively this year.”
The words of the tofu-selling aunt made Mu Ya suspicious.
Now Shihanzhou is under the jurisdiction of the masters.
The sudden appearance of these people is probably not a good thing.
She paid the money and walked out.
I went to the embroidery room and bought some cloth, and had it delivered to where the coachman usually parked his carriage.
I made some slight changes when I went out.
Mu Yacai went to the silver shop.
The shopkeeper smiled when he saw Mu Ya, "Miss, what do you want to see today?"
"Make some silver and gold nuggets for the master. Boss, come upstairs and talk." Mu Ya went upstairs first and sat by the window.
I looked carefully at the street.
She found that some of them did not seem to be ordinary people in the world.
Mu Ya's heart sank.
The owner of the silver shop came up with a tray filled with gold and silver coins of various styles.
Mu Ya picked out a few items with good meanings and asked them to prepare one hundred each.
"After it's done, send it to Yunheng Palace in Yonghe Town." Mu Ya paused and said, "If others ask about something, don't let the news slip. Our master doesn't like crowds, I hope the shopkeeper understands."
"Miss Mu is absolutely right. How about you leave through the back door?"
"good."
Mu Ya went out from the back door and quietly came to the Sihai Restaurant.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief when she reached the second floor.
"Mu Ya, what's wrong with you?" Bayanian looked at Mu Ya's face covered in cold sweat, as if he was frightened by something.
Mu Ya sat down, picked up the teapot and poured herself a large cup of tea.
"Young Madam, there are strangers coming to Shihan County. The tofu seller on the street said that many people from the Jianghu have come recently, but I have noticed that they don't look like ordinary people from the Jianghu."
When Mu Ya was a child, she traveled around with Mu Yang.
Naturally, I know what ordinary people in the world are like.
"Young Madam, I'll go out and take a look." Bayanian stood up immediately.
"Ba Nian, if this is true, go to the county government office."
"yes."
After Bayan left.
The young master of Sihai Restaurant came over.
He was dressed in a flashy red brocade robe, with a gold-embroidered belt around his waist adorned with several top-grade jade pendants. He exuded the aura of a wealthy second-generation heir.
"Mrs. Fu, we have venison today. I had someone roast some and send it over."
"Do you still have the best pear blossom wine and peach blossom wine in your house?" The young master of Sihai Restaurant has become shameless since he met Shen Yunyue.
He relied on his thick skin to get something that ordinary people don't have.
Vegetables grown in greenhouses in winter, vermicelli made from potatoes, and those drinks.
"Yes, but there are not many left."
"Then I'll send someone over to buy some today. I hope the young lady will give me more. You know, we run a business and we compete by having things that others don't have during the New Year."
"Okay. Send someone to Baijia Village to find Manager Anyi." Shen Yunyue agreed casually.
The young master thought that it would take some time to talk, but he didn't expect it to be so easy this time.
I felt a little stupid for a moment.
"Miss Muya, is what your master said what I heard?"
Mu Ya smiled and said, "Young Master, don't worry. My master's word is his bond. But Young Master, please serve the food quickly."
My master is almost full after drinking tea. Your cold dishes haven't been delivered yet."
"I'll have the food served right away. Our chef is cooking today. He said Madam Fu likes to drink the soup first before eating the food, so she's been waiting for the soup."
The young master stood up and went out.
Naturally, he had to arrange people to transport wine to Baijia Village first.
"Hitch two carriages to Baijia Village to bring some wine. I'll write down the list. When you get there, just be flexible and bring any other wine you have."
While the young master was writing the wine list, he ordered someone to pack some gifts and send them to Baijia Village.
As a year-end gift.
When Bayanian came over, Shen Yunyue and Mu Ya drank the soup.
The roast venison had just arrived.
"It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. I hate drinking soup the most." Bayan hastily sat down. "Young Madam, I went to check and found that many martial artists have come here."
Bayan took a bite of the roasted venison.
"Those people are very skilled. It is said that some of them came from Wanjian Villa."
"Wanjian Villa? Isn't it the Wanjian Villa that is not under the control of any country?" Shen Yunyue knew that Wanjian Villa, like Yaowang Valley and Ghost Doctor Valley, did not belong to any country.
The swordsmiths at Wanjian Villa are extremely sought after.
Several neighboring countries buy weapons from Wanjian Villa.
Or you can hire the swordsmith from Wanjian Villa with a high salary and have him go to your own country to forge weapons.
"Some people also came from the East China Sea." Bayan's eyes darkened. "The small tribes in the East China Sea have always relied on the Great Zhou and Beiliang for survival. They definitely don't have the ability to confront the Great Zhou."
"I'm afraid they aren't from the small tribes of the East China Sea. Or perhaps they're from the summit of the Ice Sea?"
Bayan was confused.
The Top of the Ice Sea previously only existed in ancient books.
At that time, wars broke out all over the continent.
It almost destroyed all of humanity.
Later, someone came out to unify this place and originally wanted to send troops to attack the summit of the Ice Sea. Who knew that a ground dragon would turn over and cause the mountains between Da Zhou and the summit of the Ice Sea to sink.
That place became the sea.
The sea water is poisonous. Anyone who goes there will be poisoned and buried in the sea.
gradually.
No one passed by there anymore.
The years pass.
The sea is getting wider, the martial artists' martial arts skills are getting worse, and people's lifespans are getting shorter.
No one ever thought of crossing that sea again.
Everyone gradually forgot about that place.
Until recently.
Shen Yunyue knew these people had come for some ulterior motive. The biggest benefit was probably her and Fu Xuanheng; it seemed their ultimate target was them.
"Let's go back after dinner."
After a pause, Shen Yunyue continued, "They must have a base here. Where do they live?"
I heard that these people's weapons are very powerful.
Shen Yunyue thought of borrowing it.
"It seems most of them are staying in inns, with the Guandu Inn and Bafang Inn being the most crowded." Ba Nian asked doubtfully, "Master, are we going to launch a surprise attack?"
"It seems not possible." It's not that I don't dare, it's just that I'm too weak compared to them.
Shen Yunyue didn't say anything.
Eating the food carelessly.
Bayanian and Mu Ya looked at each other, and they always felt that Shen Yunyue was planning to use a big move up her sleeve.
"Madam, shall we go back?"
Shen Yunyue looked up and asked, "Where is that Bafang Inn?"
"It's two miles from here. We'll pass by the Bafang Inn on our way back to Yonghe Town." Ba Nian asked suspiciously, "Are we really going to launch a surprise attack?"
Shen Yunyue raised her eyebrows speechlessly, "With just the two of us, you can go."
Ba Nian smiled awkwardly, "I don't dare to fight alone."
"Guandu Inn?"
Mu Ya smiled and said, "I'm familiar with the Guandu Inn. The owner there bought vegetables from us before. He also said that if there are any fresh fruits, we can send some over."
Shen Yunyue: “…” Just give me a pillow when you feel sleepy.
"I didn't agree. Our greenhouse was crushed and frozen. We don't have many vegetables left, so why would we send them to Guandu Inn?"
Shen Yunyue chuckled, "Don't we have vegetables on the carriage?"
"Young Madam, didn't you say you wanted to send it to Yang Zhubu's house?" Mu Ya asked hesitantly.
"I remembered that I need to send another pot of wine. Let An Yi send someone to deliver it this afternoon." When Shen Yunyue went to the county government office for a banquet, she got along very well with the wife of Yang Zhubu.
Later, we would walk around occasionally.
After taking over the county government this time, Yang Zhubu was allowed to remain in this position.
He also promised him that the next year the county magistrate would go to Shihan Prefecture, and Yang Zhubu would stay here as the county magistrate.
The Yang family sent someone to deliver holiday gifts to Baijia Village.
Shen Yunyue came over to discuss something, originally planning to have Xiaojiu deliver it to her when she passed by later. Now, she just happened to use these vegetables, strawberries, and cherry tomatoes first.
"Then let's go to Guandu Inn first?" Mu Ya stood up and asked.
"Um."
The three of them went downstairs, and Xiaojiu also came over in a carriage.
"Xiaojiu, go to Guandu Inn first."
