Chapter 24: Priests of the Rivers and Lakes

Sitting in the magistrate's office dejectedly, Xia Mingyi couldn't help but snap up at the news reported to him by his subordinates. He arrived at Yun'an City so many days in advance, but he didn't expect that Xia Yifeng would find out first.

Clues!

Frowning at the portrait in his hand, Xia Mingyi, who had been ordered by Xia Yifeng to be posted throughout Yun'an City, slowly closed his eyes and sighed heavily as he recalled the several times he had passed by the people in the portrait.

The county magistrate, who had been silent for a long time, seemed to be frightened and was shaking all over.

Striding into the county government office, Liu Yiyi looked impatiently at the few people standing in front of her, with a trace of anger flashing in her eyes, and then said patiently: "Go and call your county magistrate, just say it is

Prince Xia wants to see him for something."

Prince Xia? After listening to Liu Yiyi's words, several people looked at each other, and then went to report to the county magistrate with some doubts. Unexpectedly, the magistrate became furious on the spot.

"Go away! Let her go away!" Gritting his teeth, he looked at the servant in front of him. The magistrate tried hard to calm down his emotions. "What about Prince Xia and Uncle Xia? It's enough to lie to me once. Do you want to do it a second time?"

"Why did the magistrate say this?" Liu Yiyi walked slowly into the house and looked at the mad magistrate with a sneer, "When did our prince lie to you? How dare you curse so blatantly in broad daylight?

You are a relative of the emperor, and you are magistrate of the county in front of the prince. Are you too brave?"

Xia Mingyi looked at Liu Yiyi with a gloomy expression. Hearing her pun involving herself in her words, he couldn't help but sneered sarcastically and asked aloud: "Why are you here?"

"Back to the prince, the prince has something to ask him about, so he specially ordered me to come over and take him back." Pointing at the astonished magistrate, Liu Yiyi smiled slightly, "I wonder if the prince has any objections?"

Listening to the conversation between the two with trembling legs, the magistrate looked at Liu Yiyi with a pale face and asked hesitantly: "Are you... really Prince Xia's person?"

"Whether I am true or false, won't you know if you ask the prince?" Somewhat curious about the reason why the magistrate said such words, Liu Yiyi frowned and looked at the magistrate with stern eyes, looking at him with a look of fear on his face.

Looking at himself, he looked at Xia Mingyi again. After receiving Xia Mingyi's affirmative nod, he stared at the portrait in Xia Mingyi's hand, and then said nothing for a long time.

"What's wrong with you?" Noticing that something was not right with the magistrate, Liu Yiyi took two steps forward, walked to his side, and asked softly

"Do you know this person?" Glancing at the portrait in Xia Mingyi's hand, the magistrate asked Liu Yiyi with a glimmer of hope. "He said that he is the prince's subordinate and came to Yun'an City to do business on the prince's order.

…”

Listening to the magistrate's words, Xia Mingyi's eyes flashed, and then he spoke sharply, "Why didn't you mention this to me?"

"Because, because he said that the relationship between the prince and the prince is not harmonious, he doesn't want you to know his existence..." Looking at the furious prince, the magistrate's legs softened, and he knelt on the ground with a thud, "Exit

The official has absolutely no intention of hiding anything from the Crown Prince, please His Highness the Crown Prince to investigate clearly!"

Looking at the scene in front of her, Liu Yiyi sighed deeply

He lied that he was a subordinate of Prince Xia, and knew everything that happened between the prince and the prince, plus the two children in the inn

Putting everything together, Liu Yiyi couldn't help but agree with Xia Yifeng's guess. It seemed that the person in the portrait was really the Mu Yan they had been searching for all these years...

For a few days, Mu Yan quietly hid in Meixiang Tower and watched the entire Yun'an City fall into a haze. He watched the officers and soldiers coming and going on the street constantly searching for news about him. He watched Liu Yiyi look panicked every day.

After entering and exiting the city gate, Mu Yan raised the corners of her mouth strangely and then closed her eyes in deep thought, planning the time for her to leave Yun'an City.

The time between Tianhan and Feng Ruowu's departure was not too long, and with two children by his side, Tianhan probably wouldn't leave too quickly. Calculating the time now, Mu Yan was at least 80% to 90% sure.

Definitely, Feng Ruowu has caught up with Tianhan. If she leaves tonight with the two children, she should be able to catch up with their team tomorrow evening and continue moving forward for a few days, that is.

It's not far from Qingshan Village. When the time comes, everyone will have a place to hide.

Slowly walking out of the room, Mu Yan smiled sweetly at the old madam who passed by him. In just a few days, Mu Yan's appearance turned the tide of Meixianglou, which had lost Shui Xiangxiang and Mei Xiangxiang, and revived Mu Yan's piano skills again.

, has become a unique feature of this Meixiang Tower. Although people who first enter Yun'an City are subject to strict interrogation, there are still people coming from nearby places just to see this famous "Ying'er" girl.

, listen to her unique piano sound

Standing in front of the sunny Meixiang Building, Mu Yan stretched lazily and felt the sun shining on his body. Gradually, this warm feeling of comfort was replaced by a bundle of

Stare at her and drive her away completely

According to common sense, Mu Yan should have been used to the gaze of men for a long time, but the man in front of him made Mu Yan unable to help but freeze there.

Mu Yan, who has always had a photographic memory, stared blankly at the man standing across the street. Seeing his smiling eyes meeting hers, Mu Yan couldn't help but frown. She looked like this.

Can he still recognize himself?!

"Girl" walked up to Mu Yan. The man smiled and said softly, "I wonder if you still remember me?"

"Should I know you?" he asked with a slight smile. Mu Yan was neither sure nor denying it, but he was very curious about how he could see him and what he said to himself a few years ago.

, what exactly does it mean? When he appeared in front of me today, could it be that everything was already predestined?

"Girl, it's better not to pretend that you don't recognize Pindao." He nodded with a smile. The man looked like he had seen through Mu Yan and narrowed his eyes deeply. "After all, Pindao came here today specifically to help you, girl."

A helping hand"

Listening to the man's words with mixed emotions, Mu Yan's mind replayed the scene when she met him for the first time.

That was the first time someone could see through her disguise as a man at a glance, and it was also the first time someone made that kind of prophecy to her.

He gave himself a warning, telling her that she must save her life. He also reminded himself that if we meet again in the future, he will definitely help him...

But at that time, Mu Yan really only regarded this man as a Taoist priest with some ability. He never paid much attention to what he said. Unexpectedly, today, he would take the initiative again.

Found myself

Smiling slightly, Mu Yan became interested in the thirty-year-old man in front of her. She wanted to see how he could help her...
