When Su Yang walked into the Mu Mansion, he was a little uncomfortable. It was not the first time he came to the Mu Mansion, but the front yard of the Mu Mansion was filled with diners in the past few years. The big courtyard was very clean when he came here before, but This time, the seething in the front yard bothered him a little.
The servants led him into the yard, and he walked quickly through the front yard without stopping for a second, as if he would get bored of looking at those quacks, and he still prefers to be quiet after living on the island for a long time. Although there are 800 disciples in the Penglai sect, who dares to disturb him
Every time he goes down the mountain and leaves the island, he has the illusion that he has entered the world from a fairyland.
"Meet Master!"
Hearing that Su Yang was coming, Mu Xianjun quickly greeted him from the backyard, and immediately saluted Su Yang when he saw Su Yang. Su Yang quickly went to help him up, and said with a smile: "When you were in Penglai Mountain, you were a disciple of the sect, and you should salute me when you see me. But in Mu Mansion, you are a young master, how can you return such a big gift?" meet?"
Mu Xianjun said humbly: "One day is a teacher and a lifelong father, how dare a disciple disrespect the rules?"
"Ha ha."
Su Yang was very satisfied with Mu Xianjun's attitude towards him. He took Mu Xianjun's hand and walked inside and said, "I came out this time because your Uncle Zhou persuaded me..."
He glanced around, and the servants deliberately lagged a few steps behind, then lowered their voices and said, "It's been a while since you came back, when you were leaving the island, your Uncle Zhou asked you to ask your father-in-law, can you ask?"
Mu Xianjun sighed slightly: "Father still doesn't have that kind of thought. As a son of man, I can't persuade him. No matter what father decides, I must obey. Master should also know that my Mu family's children value filial piety the most. As much as you respect, you also respect your father. If you dare not disobey the master, naturally you also dare not disobey the father."
"I know you are pure, kind and filial."
Su Yang sighed, and the two walked side by side to the backyard. Not long after entering the courtyard, they saw Mu Guangling coming out with a smile on his face, and the two hurriedly walked over.
"I have seen the father-in-law!"
Su Yang leaned over to salute.
Mu Guangling stepped forward to help him: "Why do you need to be so polite, you and I are not allowed to ask for such red tape. Why didn't you send someone to inform you in advance this time, so that I can get someone to take care of it for you?" .”
"I wanted to relax and walk around, but I felt a little bored on the island. I heard that there was a dragon on the Yangtze River that hurt people passing by, so I planned to just look for that beast to kill the people. But I walked up the river for a hundred miles, but I didn't encounter the rumored hurtful thing. When I was about to come back, I encountered it at the ferry of Meilong Ancient Town... However, I also encountered a strange thing .”
Su Yang said as he walked: "I have been to Meilong Ancient Town several times. The snacks in the town are the most greedy. I planned to go there to satisfy my greed. Who would have met that evil dragon at the entrance of the town? Countercurrent Baili arrived there. The beast hid in the grass on the shore and attacked the sailors who got off a merchant ship. I saw that I was about to strike, but I didn’t expect a sword aura to fly down from the boat and wiped out the beast... "
After speaking, he glanced at Mu Guangling.
"It's not unusual for some masters to protect the merchant ship, right?"
In fact, Mu Guangling was keenly aware of the key points in Su Yang's words, but he didn't show it.
"yes… "
Su Yang sighed: "I haven't been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and the rising star in the rivers and lakes is really impressive. From a distance, the woman who made the shot looks about 20 years old, maybe because she is well maintained on weekdays, she looks young. Maybe. But no matter what, at such an age, the sword energy is so fierce, it is enough to be surprised to cut off the evil dragon with a sword from tens of meters away."
"woman?"
Mu Guangling said: "I've never heard that there are women with good swordsmanship in the eastern border."
Mu Xianjun also shook his head: "Sister's sword intent can kill dragons from dozens of meters away, but her sword intent is not in a sharp way, it is ethereal. As for the others, I have never heard of it." .”
Su Yang smiled and said: "Later, I saw that although there was no sign on the big ship, according to my guess, there should be no other business firm that can have such a caravan escorted by experts except for the cargo. But I speculate so far, but instead I'm even more curious... That woman's cultivation base should be in the Brightness Realm, and a master like Labor guards the merchant ship, what extraordinary things are carried on the ship?"
"Headmaster, your curiosity doesn't look like a master who wants nothing."
Mu Guangling laughed.
"Everyone is curious, and it's a Jianghu matter, so I naturally pay more attention to it."
Su Yangdao: "Although I seldom go out to the island, I have also heard that Wu Yiyi, Marquis of Sanjin of Huotong Tianxia, has joined the Black Banner Army Xie. Because of the help of Huotong Tianxia, the Black Banner Army Sui Southwest was able to flourish like that. I know that Wu Yidao wants to be proud, and if he can be willing to be his subordinate, what kind of young man will that Fang Jie be? So, I am also very fond of Black Flag Army Fang Jie. I was curious, so I asked more people to ask."
"But not much is known."
Su Yang said: "It's nothing more than rumors that this person's figure and appearance are top-notch, he likes to wear black clothes on weekdays, and uses a treasured sword called Morning Dew. Apart from this, there is no more news...but maybe It was a coincidence, I vaguely saw a young man standing on the bow of the boat, with a straight figure and a handsome face, wearing a long black gown..."
"Huh?"
Mu Xianjun suddenly remembered something: "Didn't my father say last time that this Fang Jie is not only extremely talented in military and martial arts, but also excels in practice, and he is also very romantic... There is a woman beside him named I can’t remember anything, isn’t he just a master of swordsmanship?”
Mu Guangling's expression changed slightly, and he smiled after being silent for a while: "Maybe it's just a coincidence!"
He dragged Su Yang into the study, but his eyes flickered.
…
…
After the big ship docked at Shengfang Pavilion, it had to go by land. When it arrived here, it did not turn to the waterway to the north. It is the best choice to stop the boat here, and the people who are traveling in the world have already arranged everything at Shengfang Pavilion in advance. The carriage has been waiting here for a few days, and there is still enough dry food and water for emergencies.
Wu Yidao didn't show up, it was agreed between Fang Jie and him. In this unfamiliar place, even if the currency is really strong, it is not as strong as the local forces. Although the sign of Huotongtianxiaxing is hidden on the big ship, it is not difficult for a discerning person to deduce it.
Therefore, it is better for Wu Yiyi to stay in the dark than to come out and join Fang Jie and the others.
"Fang Jie."
When Mu Xiaoyao got off the boat, she pulled Fangjie's sleeve: "When I was in Meilong Ancient Town that day, I threw my fan and killed an evil dragon... I always felt that someone was peeping from a distance, but I used up my thoughts. Ji Ji didn't realize where that person was, and these days, I've been uneasy in my heart."
Fang Jie nodded: "Although there are no famous practitioners in the eastern border, there must be some capable masters in the rivers and lakes who can avoid your current power of perception. This person should have a strong cultivation base. However, if If this person is hostile, after so many days, he should also do something."
"Anyway, be careful."
Mu Xiaoyao lowered her voice.
Fang Jie nodded: "I understand, you don't have to worry too much, it can't be such a coincidence that people recognize you when you arrive in Dongjiang."
Having said that, Fang Jie still carefully arranged his subordinates to be on guard. This is not a place where the Southwest Black Banner Army controls everything. Even if Fang Jie is a vassal, he has to act cautiously here. As Fang Jie said, although none of the world-renowned great practitioners in the world came from Eastern Xinjiang, no one can be sure that there are no great practitioners in Eastern Xinjiang.
Especially Mu Mansion, after so many years in Dongjiang, how could it be possible that there are no masters under his sect
"Sanjin Hou's people have already gone one step ahead and rushed to the residence of the Beilao tribe to report to Wanyan Chongde."
Because it was too conspicuous, he did not bring the white lion with him this time. After getting into the carriage, he said: "We are here this time, because we don't know the attitude of Wan Yanyong, the Great Khan of Beiliao, so for the time being, we will only inform Wan Yanyong secretly. That's enough for Yan Chongde. By the way, let's find out if Wanyan Chongde is in any trouble."
Fang Xie ordered: "Chen Xiaoru, after you arrive at the residence of the Beiliao Clan, go to see the Great Khan of Beiliao, and say that you are the envoy I sent to escort Her Royal Highness back. Back then, I fought side by side with Wanyan Chongde in the northwest. , Many warriors of the Northern Liao nationality know me, so it is not appropriate for me to show up now."
Chen Xiaoru bowed his head and said: "This subordinate obeys orders."
"if… "
Wanyan Yunshu was a little worried: "If my brother is really in a bad situation, what should we do?"
Fang Jie patted her palm: "Don't worry, at worst, we will take your brother back to the Southwest. After all, your brother is your father's only son, so what kind of enmity can there be between father and son? Wait for him to spend a year or two in the Southwest." After that, your father's miss for him far outweighed his anger at him."
The closer Wanyan Yunshu got to his family, the more nervous he became, and helplessness appeared in his eyes as he grabbed Fang Jie's hands. She has been with Fang Jie for several years, and she hasn't been back to the clan in the past few years, and she doesn't know what it will be like to meet her father.
"fine."
Fang Jie comforted softly, "Everything is up to me."
…
…
Just two hours after Fang Jie's team left Shengfang Pavilion, a middle-aged man in civilian clothes walked into the ancient town. He was alone, carrying a bag, and looked like a literati who was about to travel far. A rucksack, an oil-paper umbrella, and nothing else.
He walked into a small shop and ordered a plate of assorted vegetables, a plate of cooked beef, and a pot of old wine. When Xiao Er was serving the wine, he accidentally spilled some on his clothes, and Xiao Er quickly knelt down to wipe it for him.
"Lord Hou."
Xiao Er called out in a very low voice.
This middle-aged man in civilian clothes is Wu Yiyi, Marquis of Sanjin.
"Send a message to our people here, and send me the information of all the masters of the sect in Dongjiang within two days. I want to know how many great practitioners there are on the bright side of Dongjiang. I left Shengfang Pavilion Go straight north and find me in Qionglin Town in two days."
"The subordinates remember."
The little girl got up and apologized repeatedly. Wu Yiyi waved his hands and said, "You didn't do it on purpose, go."
Xiao Er thanked him and left.
Just as he was about to leave after eating, two people entered the shop. A young man who looked to be in his twenties was very elegant, and he belonged to the kind of chic and handsome that people can never forget. The one who came in with him was an old man who looked to be about fifty years old. Although his beard was a little gray, his body was still straight.
Wu Yidao thought about it, and when he saw these two people coming in, he lowered his head and continued eating.
"Master Uncle, I'm really sorry that you are still tired to follow me."
The young man took out his handkerchief and wiped the chair, and asked the old man to sit down. The old man smiled and said: "From now on, the Zongmen and the mansion will be an inseparable family. Since there may be something that endangers the mansion, the Zongmen will naturally not sit idly by. You are the one who maintains the relationship between the Zongmen and the mansion." Therefore, many things will depend on you in the future.”
The young prince smiled and said: "With the help of the sect, things in the mansion will naturally go much smoother."
While waiting for Xiao Er to serve the food, the young gentleman asked: "Have you ever seen a group of about a hundred people, with foreign accents, as if they came from it. Among them were a few beautiful women, and a very personable son."
"I saw it!"
Xiao Er pointed to the north side: "When these people came into the town, I just stared at novelty. There are a few women who look like gods, and the young master who is the leader is really chic and handsome, even more handsome than you, young master... No, no, It is as unforgettable as the son."
The shop clerk knew he had said something wrong, so he looked embarrassed.
Hearing the sentence that he is more handsome than you, a trace of cold hostility flashed in the young man's eyes.
