Lingxi City, Xiao Town.
Dongfang Jing knew that she was half a day behind Zongzheng Fusu, and she would not be able to catch up with Qingshuijian all the way west, and she left Beijing alone, even if she caught up, it would not be of much help, so she decided to fight from the south. Turned a corner and went straight to the city.
There are seven major clans in Lingxi City, the Murong clan ranks first in terms of financial resources and manpower, and is located in Kuo Town. The Murong family stayed away from court disputes for many years, and even dismissed their followers for a time, almost retiring. However, in recent years, the Murong family has changed families and added a few good branches. Some of the previously evacuated disciples were picked up a little bit, and they even cultivated their own troops, opened mines in the town, and made weapons by themselves.
Although Dongfang Jing didn't know the cause of the battle at Qingshuijian, she probably knew that besides the soldiers from the Lan family and Wuyou's soldiers, Qingshuijian also hid a third group of soldiers. Otherwise, Wuyou wouldn't be so stupid as to fight Lanhou with just a few thousand troops!
The only thing Dongfang Jing could think of was Murong.
After riding the horse all the way, Dongfang Jing's whole body was already soaked, and even the human skin mask on her face was almost blurred. She got off her horse and found a nearby inn to rest, and happened to meet a gentleman in the attic who was telling a book, and many people around were watching.
"The little great-grandson of the Murong family had just landed, and three masked assassins sneaked into the Murong mansion that night and assassinated the old head of the Murong family, Murong Ao!" What happened next?"
"What's wrong?" Dongfang Jing asked back.
"The guards of the Murong Mansion ran to protect Murong Ao! They fell into a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and lost their little great-grandson!"
When Dongfang Jing heard this, she suddenly had a bottom line in her heart.
It stands to reason that Lingxi is the sphere of influence of the Lan family. No matter how powerful the Murong family is, there is no need to fight against such a desperate organization. After all, it was the Lan family who stole the little great-grandson of the Murong family. Same name, very arrogant, unwilling to be threatened by others!
"Is there any news about the little great-grandson?" Dongfang Jing asked quickly.
"Girl, are you from out of town?" The storyteller smiled at her.
Dongfang Jing looked bewildered.
The storyteller went on to explain, "Murong's family has set up a list in the entire Lingxi City, spending thousands of dollars! Just to find capable and righteous people, and help find the little great-grandson! Only you, a foreigner, will ask about the little great-grandson... If we knew we wanted it, we would have revealed the list to make a lot of money!"
"That's it!"
A group of spectators around followed suit.
Dongfang Jing quickly waved her hands and smiled, "I'm sorry, I'm new here, I don't know the situation here, I made everyone laugh."
"Girl! Did you come to Xiao Town alone?" The storyteller asked again, "If you came alone, I advise you to go back and forth wherever you go! The town is not peaceful these days!"
"That's right! The imperial court sent troops here, but I don't know what to do..."
Someone followed suit.
"If something happens, we natives of the town can't hide it! You are different, you are a little girl, you are in chaos, why are you running around!"
"Yes, yes, thank you for your advice." Dongfang Jing smiled at everyone, and then left the room.
Emperor Ning did not issue an order to send troops, but these people said that the imperial court dispatched troops, there must be something wrong!
As soon as she got out of the inn, Dongfang Jing suppressed her smile, asked a passerby where Murong Mansion was, got on her horse, and went straight to Murong Mansion!
