Water Ghost Lao Wu has been misleading Mu Yunhan from the beginning, and the purpose is naturally to divert her attention so that he can escape smoothly.
At the same time, Mu Yunhan felt that he should still have a cat-and-mouse mentality, which also meant that the other party knew her.
She was inevitably a little more worried about her trip to Qi, but at the same time she felt excited, gearing up, and eager to give it a try.
In any case, successfully catching the water ghost Lao Wu and breaking through the previous deadlock is always a good start.
Meng Jia arrived in the middle of the night, and by that time the interrogation about Water Ghost Lao Wu had already lasted six hours.
In order not to alarm ordinary people, Mu Yunhan and his party made the abandoned Jiangshen Temple their base.
Xiaomi made her a pot of good tea, put a plate of melon seeds on it, and then carefully and gently squeezed her arms and beat her legs while she watched the torture.
Meng Jia walked in and saw this scene.
She half-reclined lazily on the chair, holding a tea cup in one hand and resting her other hand casually on the armrest of the chair. Her lambskin boots stepped on half of the remaining bricks.
The firelight shone from her side, and the half of her exposed face was as white as jade, with a cold light.
Her long eyelashes were half drooped, and there was an indifferent smile on her lips, repelling others from thousands of miles away.
Even if the water ghost Lao Wu made all kinds of screams, she couldn't make her brow move even a little bit.
Meng Jia held the horsewhip and stood at the door of Jiangshen Temple quietly looking at Mu Yunhan like this.
He could feel that she had changed.
In the past, Mu Yunhan would not do such a thing unless he was cornered.
But now she does these things with familiarity and indifference. At this moment, she is torn apart from the one who was so angry with him.
He suddenly felt very heartbroken. She lost Gu Fenglin's protection and had too many burdens. She witnessed death one after another. Changes were bound to happen.
But such a change made him feel sad after all. This was not what he wanted to see.
If he could, he just wanted to keep seeing the Mu Yunhan who was so angry that he screamed but was helpless against him.
"General Meng is here." Xiaomi noticed his presence and whispered to Mu Yunhan.
Mu Yunhan then turned around and pointed at the chair next to him to greet him: "Sit down. Have you eaten? If not, there are pastries and roast chicken over there. There is nothing good in this country place, so just eat it."
Meng Jia was not very hungry at first, but she felt hungry because of her thoughtfulness.
He ate heartily, but the words "Leave it all to me" were never uttered.
Because he knew that Mu Yunhan didn't need it.
At dawn, when the torture ended, Mu Yunhan stood up, turned his back, and yawned delicately, covering his mouth.
Meng Jia propped up his chin and stared at the extinguished fire in a daze.
Water Ghost Lao Wu is not a high-level leader of the Wooden Party Party, but he is a very critical hub.
Just because the Mupai Party members and related people traveling from north to south all passed through his hands, took his boat, and came in or left without anyone noticing.
Don't underestimate this small ship. Many key clues were broken because of this and will never be connected again.
Mu Er's wife, a new student, left on his boat. According to his description, Mu Er's wife and the man accompanying her were not very familiar with each other. Unless something happened, the two of them would hardly speak.
The new student was hostile to the man, and would show his teeth at every turn to scare him. Mrs. Mu did not stop her, but she would not disobey the man's request.
