"Dad, is this mission very dangerous?" Mu Hanyan asked straight to the point.
"It's not dangerous, but it might be difficult," said Mu Ruian.
"Oh?" Mu Hanyan looked at her father in confusion.
"Are you wondering why you juniors are sent instead of the elders?" Mu Ruian asked.
"Well, our strength is not as good as Fourth Uncle Ziqing's. We may not be able to help if we go. It should be the uncles and aunts who go." Mu Hanyan said frankly.
"You're right, but we can't go for this matter." Mu Ruian said.
"Why?" Mu Hanyan asked in confusion.
"Because Xiushui City is the territory of the Yan family." Mu Ruian replied.
"The Yan family, Dad is talking about the Yan family in Shanyang City, or the Yan family in the capital?" Mu Hanyan thought for a moment and asked.
The Yan family in the capital has a foundation of ten thousand years, and its strength is comparable to that of the Mu family. The Yan family in Shanyang City is a branch of the Yan family in the capital, and its status is similar to that of the Yan family in Black Stone City.
Xiushui City is not far from Shanyang City, so Mu Hanyan immediately thought of the Yan family.
"Well, outsiders only know that the mayor of Shanyang City is a member of the Yan family, but few people know that Xiushui City is also the territory of the Yan family, and it is also the place where the Yan family originated. Our Mu family has a ban. The members of the clan are not allowed to set foot in Xiushui City. Otherwise, they will be at their own risk for life and death, and the family will not come forward to rescue them." Mu Ruian said seriously.
"Is there such a ban? Why haven't I heard of it?" Mu Hanyan said puzzledly.
"Because this ban was just sent by the clan in the capital." Mu Ruian said with a wry smile.
"Why is there this ban? Is it because our Zong family in the capital and the Yan family have fallen out?" Mu Hanyan asked curiously.
To be honest, although the open and covert struggles between these major families in the capital have never stopped for tens of thousands of years, they rarely confront each other directly. This time, the main family actually sent this order, and the matter is likely to be quite serious.
"If you ask me, who should I ask?" Mu Ruian shook his head. Black Stone City was too remote, and it was not easy for him to know what was happening in the capital.
"Originally, we didn't quite believe what the Third Elder said about Master Qu's divination, but after receiving the message from the clan, we had no choice but to believe it. With Mu Ziqing's caution and experience, he shouldn't be in any danger, but Shanyang City is not far from Xiushui City. If he went to Xiushui City to purchase medicinal herbs, coupled with this ban, then the possibility of something going wrong is very high." Mu Ruian continued.
"If that's the case, wouldn't sending us there be like sending us to our deaths?" Mu Hanyan said with some concern.
"That's not the case. After all, this ban has only been issued recently, and you are young, so you can just pretend that you don't know about it. Given the status of the Yan family, they won't do anything to you." Mu Ruian said.
Aristocratic families all have their own dignity and rules. If the Yan family really took action against a few teenagers, it would be too despicable and would be despised by people all over the world.
And this is exactly why Mu Ruian and the two elders sent them. If the elders showed up, the situation would be completely different. The two sides would probably start fighting without a word, and there might even be a river of blood.
Without knowing what was happening in the capital, they naturally could not rashly turn against the Yan family of Shanyang City.
"Then I feel relieved." Mu Hanyan felt relieved.
"Don't take it lightly. You can see what the Second Elder is up to. If you make any mistakes or come back in disgrace with nothing gained, don't blame me for not protecting you." Mu Ruian said with a bit of gloating.
