It was the afternoon of the second day when they set off again. Mu Lingxue took a piece of silver from Lu'er and handed it to Zhao Zisheng. Zhao Zisheng didn't show any politeness and just accepted it. Now that they were in such a situation, they couldn't even eat, so how could they leave?
Go to the capital of the Western Jin Dynasty.
His free-spirited and non-losing temperament made Mu Lingxue look at him more highly. She didn't say anything and just nodded, before Mu Lingxue and his party set out on their way.
After walking for a while, Cui Hao couldn't help but sigh, "My master is kind-hearted, and God sees it."
Mu Lingxue glanced at Mu Lingyun. From yesterday to now, she has become much more honest. "Cause and effect are cyclical. If there is a cause, there will be an effect. So when you do something, you must think it through and rush in with enthusiasm.
, if you end up with something bad, you will have to taste the bitter consequences yourself."
Mu Lingyun lowered his head, but the corners of his eyes twitched, biting his lower lip slightly, and clenching his hands under his sleeves into fists. This woman actually nodded at her vaguely, which was really disgusting.
Cui Hao was so smart that he understood it as soon as he heard it, but he smiled and said nothing, carrying his bamboo basket behind him all the time, like a person gathering medicine.
The further you go, the more people you meet on the road. It can be seen that you are very close to the checkpoint. Before dark, everyone can see the checkpoint and the officers and soldiers guarding there. Once you enter the city, you will be in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Already.
There was nothing about them that attracted people's attention, so they passed the checkpoint easily. When they entered the city, they could still see the portrait of a woman posted on the city wall. Upon closer inspection, they looked somewhat similar to Mu Lingyun, but
Obviously the painting is not very good, otherwise why Mu Lingyun was not recognized just now.
Before dark, everyone stayed in a small inn. Even without Ji eating, Mu Lingxue asked the guards to go out to look for clues left by Longhu. Until this moment, she felt a little nervous. She was about to see someone who really cared about her.
I am a person, and I don’t understand what’s going on with that feeling.
At this time, there were no outsiders, and Lu'er became confused, "Miss, I never understand, how do you know that it is water beans, and how to treat it?"
"When I was at Prince Xian's Mansion, when I first entered, I heard what those old mothers said, and I actually used it." Mu Lingxue had already thought of an excuse.
After all, Lu'er has been following Mu Lingxue before, so she is most likely to realize that she is not the real Mu Lingxue, but it is precisely because she used to follow Mu Lingxue that she needs her.
"No wonder"
Seeing that Lu'er believed it, Mu Lingxue smiled and asked her to go out to get some food. While looking at what Mu Lingyun was doing, Lu'er turned around and came back with a panic look on her face, "Miss, the second lady is missing.
"
"She's missing? What's going on? Didn't she just ask the guards to take her back to the room?" Mu Lingxue stood up and walked out, "Go and wake up the others."
When it was time to rest, where could she go as a woman? Then Mu Lingxue stopped and called Lu'er, "Forget it, don't disturb everyone, go see what food is available and get some for everyone."
How could she forget that Mu Lingyun had lived here for so many years, how could he steal? He must have gone out to meet someone, or went directly to find the nominal father?
Never mind her, I think she will definitely come back.
Lu'er came back with a few steamed buns, turned around and gave them to others. Except for the guards who went out to look for Longhu, there were a total of three guards and Cui Hao in the inn, who had booked all the upper rooms.
This is the most remote border in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. You can stay in the best inns for a small amount of money. The consumption is not high, which shows that this place is very poor.
By the time Lu'er came back, Mu Lingxue had already eaten a steamed bun, took off her shoes and lay on the bed, "Don't be too busy. You've been tired for so many days. Go and rest after eating."
"This slave will keep vigil for the young lady."
"No need, there are so many rules outside, you can take them back to your room to eat, so you don't have to worry about the rules."
Lu'er hesitated for a moment, then took the bun and exited the room.
Mu Lingxue was lying on the bed. Longhu had arrived at the border earlier than them. He thought he had the news a long time ago, but why didn't they see anyone when they entered the city? Could something have happened?
Given Mu Ranze's character, she would definitely not let her go. If Mu Lingyun went out like this, wouldn't she be causing trouble if she was caught? Thinking of this, how could Mu Lingxue still sleep in the silent night?
, when she heard someone coming upstairs, she sat up suddenly and stared at the door. The next moment she heard a gentle knock on the door.
She jumped out of bed and ran towards the door. The moment she opened the door, a figure quickly flashed into the room. Mu Lingxue was only able to see Longhu who was locked outside the door.
"Little sister", the man in front of you has a pair of beautiful eyes. These eyes are so bright that your heart will light up when you look at him.
Mu Lingxue's nose felt sore, and tears flowed down without saying anything. She wiped the tears on her face in a panic. This must be the reaction of the real owner of this body, and it was obvious that the two brothers and sisters had a good relationship.
"Little sister, don't cry. From now on, big brother will be with you for everything." Murong Gang put his sister in his arms and patted her back lightly, "Big brother knows that, don't worry, my mother is gone, and there is still big brother."
Mu Lingxue's heart ached when she heard these words. She leaned quietly in her arms, feeling the heartache and the warm chest. This was her true support. She was no longer alone.
Murong Gang didn't know that his 'sister' in his arms was thinking about so many things for a thousand times. He just excitedly took his sister and took a few steps to the chair to sit down, "I knew you would take good care of yourself, but
You are much thinner than before. Did that Xian Wang bully you? It's all because of my elder brother's incompetence. He watched you being kissed, but there was nothing he could do about it."
"Brother, don't worry, I'm fine, really fine, it's just mother..." Mu Lingxue lowered her head.
When mentioning her death to the mother she had never met, she didn't know what kind of emotion to use. She only knew that her heart was filled with panic, but she didn't know much, so she really didn't know what to say.
Murong Gang patted his sister's head, "Girl has grown up and knows how to care for others. I don't blame you for what happened to my mother. My mother was originally in poor health and something like that happened at home. It's already great that she can die in peace in the capital.
That's right, I don't blame you, brother, no one else would be able to make a difference."
With such a brother, Mu Lingxue's eyes turned red again, and she raised her head firmly, "Brother, don't worry, we will definitely not have a hard time in the future."
Murong Gang smiled faintly, "Silly girl, do you know that it is very dangerous for you to come to the border this time? Even if Prince Xian is behind you, what will happen? He is just an idle prince, what ability can he have? Don't do anything to him in the future.
Don't be so impulsive now, that girl Ling Yun is really too naughty. Our Mu family members were sent to the border, and she dared to escape privately. Will this be her sole responsibility in the future?"
Speaking of this, Murong Gang seemed to have remembered something, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
Mu Lingxue also noticed it, and took her brother's hand, which was covered with crusted whip marks, "Brother, this is,,,"
Thinking that all this was because of Mu Lingyun's willfulness, Mu Lingxue suddenly felt a surge of hatred in her heart, but she also understood that if it weren't for Mu Lingyun, she wouldn't have known that a brother who cared about her was suffering here, so how could she have done it?
When I came here, thinking about this, the anger in my heart disappeared a lot.
"This small injury is nothing compared to what we experienced on the battlefield back then." Murong Gang just arrived and really didn't take this small injury seriously.
"As soon as we arrived at the inn, she left. I thought she might have gone home."
"Of course she has to go back. Mrs. Zhang is looking forward to her. Without Mrs. Zhang encouraging her from behind, how could she have the courage to escape? How could she go all the way to the Western Jin Dynasty?" A hint of sarcasm flashed across Murong Gang's lips.
.
Mu Lingxue was surprised, "Aunt Zhang? Is she still alive?"
Isn’t life at the border very difficult? It is said that women who are sent here will not survive long. How come the Zhang family can still live well?
"I'm afraid the little girl doesn't know something. Although she was sent to the border, she was just forced to live here. She can only rely on her own ability to do hard work to make money, but she is not allowed to do business, so her life is embarrassing. Mu
The men in the house can still support the women in the family by relying on their physical strength to carry charcoal in the mountains."
It turns out that this is the case, Mu Lingxue always thought that everyone was being imprisoned like prisoners.
"But the second sister said that my father was dying, so she asked me to come..."
"Father is dying?" Murong Gang obviously had a sneer in his eyes, "After all, my father was once the guarding general here. Apart from other things, those officials still gave my father face. He didn't have to do hard work to earn money, but
It’s just that I don’t have good clothes, good food, and servants to serve me, so why can’t I do this?”
Mu Lingxue understood that it must be Mrs. Zhang's idea. After all, she was used to the life of a rich person, and it would be difficult to live in poverty. She thought she couldn't stand that kind of life, and she heard that she was married to King Xian.
, she had other thoughts and came out like this, and she was so stupid that she still wanted to save her brother, but,,,, her eyes widened, if that was the case, how could that man let her save him?
Brother? Could it be that he knew everything and did all this just to agree to his few conditions?
Such speculation made Mu Lingxue blush. What a man of skill. After all, she had been plotted by him all the way. No wonder he was still plotting on the way. He was afraid that he would know the truth when he got to the border.
And regretting it, he took advantage of it and completely blocked his way back.
She had to admit that she was really careless, and she didn't realize until the end that she was being tricked.
It seemed that she had to be more careful with that man in the future, since these places were not as good as him, but she thought of letting this man lose to her on the other hand.
As the saying goes, if you want to take revenge on someone, make them fall in love with you and then dump them.
Maybe this method is good. There is nothing wrong with your appearance. If you add some small tricks, I don't believe that it will not seduce a man.
Murong Gang sat there, watching his little sister dig her mouth for a while and then snickering, as if she was thinking about a very tangled matter, and sighed in her heart, it turned out that her daughter was too old to stay.
