Seeing Mu Hanyan being so kind to the old man, the surrounding vendors believed Han Yuner and the man's words, and their eyes were full of gratitude.
"You don't need to be too polite." Mu Hanyan hurriedly helped the old man, and asked curiously, "By the way, Black Rock City is considered prosperous now. Why did you travel all the way to the capital to do business?"
"My lord, I don't know. My ancestral home was originally in Songbai Ridge, south of Black Rock City. Since I was a child, my father and I have been wandering outside, doing some small business, and later settled down in the capital. However, relatives and friends of the family still stay in Songbai Ridge. These Jinlan If it was brought back by the way when I went back to my hometown to visit relatives a few days ago, I wanted to sell it as a rarity, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing." The old man said with a wry smile.
"So that's how it is." Mu Hanyan suddenly realized.
"Songboling, have you been to Songboling a few days ago?" Zirong suddenly grabbed the old man and asked in surprise.
"Yes, what's the matter?" The old man looked at his appearance strangely.
"My unmarried lady lives in Songboling, her name is Yu Qingwan." Zirong explained. Before he left, he entrusted Yu Qingwan to his family's best friend, Uncle Wang, to take care of him. That family is very reliable, and he has always treated her pretty well. Later, after Zirong worked as an errand in the Mu Mansion, she even subsidized the family a lot, making their life much better than before.
"Yu Qingwan." The old man thought for a while, then patted his head and said, "I remembered, I seem to have heard that the young lady's uncle was working in the Mu Mansion, so it was you, but..." Speaking of which, the old man wanted to He stopped talking, and his expression was a little weird.
"By the way, old man, have you seen my unmarried lady? How is she doing? Is she getting better?" Zirong asked expectantly without noticing the old man's strange expression.
"Don't you know?" The old man's expression became even weirder.
"What's wrong?" Zi Zong looked at the old man inexplicably.
Mu Hanyan saw the strange expression on the old man's face, and suddenly felt ominous.
She knew about Zirong and Yu Qingwan's affairs. The two were childhood sweethearts, and they had made an agreement early on, but because Yu Wanqing was ill, they didn't get married for a long time. Back then, Zirong came to Mu's residence as a guard, mainly for the sake of Yu Qingwan's marriage. cure.
She had asked Zirong several times about Yu Qingwan's condition, and she heard that her condition had improved a lot, so she didn't take it to heart.
Seeing the old man's hesitant to speak, Mu Hanyan couldn't help guessing: Could it be that her condition has worsened
"Old man, is Qing Wan's illness recurring again?" Zirong also noticed the strangeness of the old man at this time, and asked worriedly.
"Her illness is much better. The last time I saw her, she looked the same as ordinary people... However, just a few days before I left Songbailing, your wife went to the city to get medicine and never came back. The little girl and the coachman beside me are also missing, and your husband is looking for their whereabouts everywhere." The old man hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth. Apparently the old man thought that the family that Zirong had entrusted to him was Yu Qingwan's family, and that the best friend's uncle was Yu Qingwan's father.
"What!" Zirong's whole body was shaken, her face was ashen, and a layer of water suddenly appeared in her eyes.
Mu Hanyan's expression also darkened.
She understands Zirong's feelings for Yu Qingwan better than others. The Yu family used to be a rich family, but it has declined further and further, but it is also a well-known gentry family under the rule of Black Rock City, but Zirong's family is in the middle of nowhere. The account is wrong. The reason why their marriage didn't fall apart was because the marriage was arranged long before the Zi family was in decline, and more importantly, it was because of Yu Qingwan's steadfastness. Later, Yu Qingwan became seriously ill and exhausted the family's money to treat her illness. The family couldn't bear it, and one day after Yu Qingwan was entrusted to Zirong, the family disappeared. As for where it went, no one knows.
Therefore, Zirong has a deep affection for Yu Qingwan, and when she came to Mu's residence as a guard, besides making money to treat her illness, she might not have the idea of surrendering to others.
An accident happened to Yu Qingwan, and the anxiety and worry in Zirong's heart can be imagined.
"My lord, I want to take a leave of absence and go back to Songbailing immediately." Zirong said eagerly to Mu Hanyan with red eyes. Knowing that something happened to Yu Qingwan, he wished he could spread his wings and fly back to Songboling immediately.
Without even thinking about it, Mu Hanyan wanted to nod her head in agreement, but when she saw Zirong's blood-red eyes and the unconcealable murderous aura all over her body, she suddenly hesitated.
The appearance at this time, obviously in a state of confusion, even if he goes back, what effect will it have? Moreover, the capital is tens of thousands of miles away from Black Rock City, and the road is not peaceful. With his hostility, before he returns to Black Rock City, he does not know how many catastrophes he will cause.
"What can you do when you go back to Songbailing?" Mu Hanyan asked in a deep voice.
Zirong was already restless and didn't think about it at all, but was stopped by Mu Hanyan's question.
Calculating the time, Yu Qingwan's accident has been happening for a long time, but because the journey was too far, the news never came. Even if there is any clue, the Uncle Wang who should find it must find it, and if he can't find it, it will be the same when he goes back.
"Maybe I can't do anything when I go back, but I can't wait in the capital." Zirong said with a wry smile. But looking at his expression, he suddenly calmed down.
Don't look at Zirong's normal appearance, in fact, Mu Hanyan is the most thoughtful and scheming among the three guards. The name of the demon sword in later generations is definitely not groundless.
It's just that it's about his fiancée, so he's in a mess.
"If you believe me, leave this matter to me. Don't go anywhere, just follow me first." Mu Hanyan said, the reason why Zirong stayed by his side was of course that he was afraid that he would be in a mess. Get into trouble.
The appearance of the previous life, together with Huayue Jiang Yuzhe, is called the three evil stars of Anyun Kingdom, and his methods are brutal and ruthless, which makes people's faces change. But after getting along for nearly a year, Mu Hanyan discovered that the three of them were pure in nature, not cruel and easy to kill, and must have experienced some accidents that led to a drastic change in temperament.
Mu Hanyan could guess that Huayue's change was mostly related to Yueji's death.
However, because of her own rebirth, the trajectory of many things has also changed. Although Yueji's death dealt a heavy blow to Huayue, it also brought the temple to the surface. Huayue put all her hatred on the temple. Not much has changed.
And is the change in appearance in another time and space related to Yu Qingwan
In any case, Mu Hanyan did not want the same tragedy to happen to Zirong again. Although the three evil stars were famous for a while, none of them came to a good end in the end.
"Don't worry, my lord, I won't lose my mind." Zirong took a deep breath and said to Mu Hanyan.
