Chapter 158 No Longer Entering the City
When a few people said goodbye, the others did not come forward and did not know what was going on.
None of them knew the way, and they just went wherever Feng Aoqing and Jiang Yi led them.
It was not until they reached a fork in the road and saw that Wei Qianheng and his group had not caught up that they realized they had taken another road.
Then, everyone saw the city, but now it was getting farther and farther away.
This is normal. When you run to a dead horse over a mountain, it may seem close but in fact it is still very far away. You may see it again after turning a corner.
However, they still hadn't entered the city until dusk. Jiang Yi was looking for a campsite to rest, and the Mo family only then discovered the problem.
When they came to ask, Feng Aoqing told everyone that she would not enter Qidong City.
"Didn't you say you were going into the city to stay for a few days? Why are you leaving now?" Mo Shuyuan muttered in a low voice.
"If you don't want to go in, then don't go in. There are some things that it's better for you not to know." Qin Mu saw that Su Hongyu didn't leave, so he knew that they were not taking any action in this city.
"What's the matter?" Mo Shuyuan asked in a low voice.
Qin Mu told her that Mo Beiyuan had killed the eldest son of the Wei family, and she covered her mouth in fear.
"Is she mentally ill? How could she still hold someone else's second son hostage? No wonder she doesn't dare to enter the city!"
"How can you leave Qizhou smoothly without taking someone's second son hostage?" Qin Mu pulled her hand and signaled her to lower her voice.
Fortunately, the two of them are not popular and everyone stays away from them.
"If she hadn't been saving people indiscriminately and flirting with men everywhere, how could Wei Qianheng follow us and then find out our identities! It's all her fault! We could have quietly gone into the city to rest." Mo Shuyuan said disdainfully.
"Okay, let's leave it at that for now! It's better to get to Yanzhou earlier so that we can live a good life." Qin Mu didn't want to lose his life here, he was very clear about this.
Others had the same idea. Although they also wanted to sleep on a soft bed, they were more afraid of being pursued.
Because Mo Nanzhou told them that their eldest brother had already started to take action.
In order to thank Feng Aoqing for saving his life, Fu Qiu Ming gave the two of them all the information he knew about Lianzhou, including the news that Mo Nanzhou had occupied several cities and towns.
If they were still wandering around at this time and didn't go to Yanzhou, it would only become more and more dangerous. I'm afraid someone would use them as pawns to threaten Mo Beiyuan.
Mo Mingyuan was very nervous after hearing the news. He didn't dare to go too far away from everyone when exploring the way, for fear that he would not be able to rescue them in time if something happened.
Jiang Yi and his group only had a dozen or so exiled prisoners besides the Mo family. He had already received a letter from Mo Nanzhou, telling him that he only needed to send everyone to Yanguan.
Moreover, in order to thank the escorts for their efforts, they did not have to return to Beijing. Mo Beiyuan had arranged everything for them in Yanguan City. Both the positions and salaries were better than in Beijing.
If they agree, arrangements will be made for their families to reunite in Yanzhou, and housing and money will be provided.
To be honest, who would be willing to be a bailiff who endures such hardships? It's not worth more than a few silver coins. Some are marginalized in Beijing, and some are forced to make up for it by their superiors. In troubled times, with such conditions given by Mo Beiyuan, no one would disagree.
At this point, both the escort and the prisoner had become retainers.
Feng Aoqing and Jiang Yi discussed extending the journey time and reaching Yanzhou as soon as possible, because since Mo Beiyuan had started to move, Duan Ya would also have to move.
At this time, everyone camped at the foot of a hillside, where they were sheltered from the wind and had a pond nearby.
Mo Nanzhou looked up at the sky.
But no one came forward to follow him and look, and he was very curious.
"Xingbao, Yuebao, why don't you follow me to look at the sky? You follow Mr. Fu to look at the sky every night."
Feng Aoqing asked Xingbao and Yuebao to call Fu Qiuming Mr. or uncle, and only close men should be called that.
Xingbao and Yuebao looked at each other, then walked over, looked up, and then lowered their heads.
"I think you are being quite perfunctory!" Mo Nanzhou repeated in his mind a hundred times, dear nephew, dear niece, dear nephew, dear niece...
The two babies looked at each other and chatted without saying a word.
"You're still making fun of me, aren't you? You're talking about me behind my back, aren't you? It's not right for you to do this!"
It’s okay. Mom said that bad things should not be said out loud. Just keep it in your heart.
"Uncle, will it rain?" Xingbao asked.
"Uh... I think..."
The two treasures looked at each other again and communicated with their eyes.
"you!"
"So, will it rain?" Feng Aoqing also asked.
"It will rain! Heavy rain! It would be best if there is thunder!" Mo Nanzhou turned away.
Feng Aoqing was about to die of laughter.
He actually understood, Feng Aoqing knew it because he didn't ask anyone to set up a tent.
There is a village nearby, and there is a vegetable garden not far from this open space. We can pick some vegetables. Feng Aoqing will take out some meat, and everyone will prepare to eat hot pot.
As soon as they had started the fire and set up the pot, they heard a noise.
A group of villagers rushed over aggressively, holding tools in their hands.
"Who are you! This is the territory of our Jinyou Village. How dare you!" shouted the middle-aged man in the lead.
This kind of external work is usually done by Mo Mingyuan and Wei Ze, so they stood up and went over to talk to the other party, ready to reason with them.
Han Lang's men went up first, and without saying a word, they drew out their various weapons as they walked.
This team of twelve people are all people he can truly trust.
The other party only saw people coming and didn't think anything was wrong, so he walked forward with his work tools, looking ferocious. After taking a few steps, he saw that the other party had started to draw weapons, so he became scared.
"Back off!" said Cheng Jiang, the team leader, in a deep voice.
Those people stopped and put away their tools.
Another member of the team, Ling Shuang, threw a bag of silver toward them and said, "Borrow this precious place for one night and buy some food. If you dare come forward again, I might have to exchange this silver for paper."
Those people understood what they meant and knew that they were people they couldn't afford to offend, so they hurriedly said, "Okay, got it."
The leader hurriedly led the villagers back.
"Well, weapons are more useful, otherwise we would have to waste a lot of time and effort. I think we are too polite on weekdays." Mo Mingyuan said to Wei Ze behind them.
Wei Ze nodded: "Our master and this person have completely different styles of doing things. Our master is a soldier, so he is strict with himself and more tolerant with the people."
"You're finished. You said bad things about Lord Han! You said Lord Han was intolerant. You said Lord Han was not strict with himself!"
"If your last name wasn't Mo, I'd beat you up!"
The two of them went back before Han Lang's men and told Feng Aoqing that the matter had been resolved.
"Do you still need to ask her for these things on a daily basis?" Han Lang looked at the two of them with a cold expression.
"No." Mo Mingyuan and Wei Ze answered at the same time.
"An Lei! Do you not have a sword or have your martial arts skills been crippled?!" Han Lang shouted again.
An Lei knelt down again for some unknown reason.
After dinner, Han Lang went up the hillside. Perhaps because they were afraid something might happen, no one bothered him.
Cheng Jiang followed.
No one at the foot of the hill saw Han Lang's expression at this moment.
