Dongyang Hou and others fled into the border of Qi State in one breath before they dared to stop and settle the losses.
Seven or eight people were hacked to death by the horse thieves, and five or six were injured. There were only about ten people left in the originally small team.
I don't know when a cartload of property and food were lost. It seems that the horse thieves took advantage of the rush and took them away.
The food was nothing but worth a few bucks, but the property made Dongyang Hou feel very sad for a while. After he regained his breath, he asked Mu Yunhan what Kuwang had said.
Mu Yunhan showed no expression: "Do you really want to hear it?"
"I really want to hear it." Dongyang Hou felt there was something wrong.
"He said that the person who wants to hurt you is another His Majesty's pet, and he told you to forget it, or else he would break your balls and tell you not to scream anymore..."
Mu Yunhan was truthful and unreserved, and Dongyang Hou urgently stopped: "Okay, okay, stop talking, it must be that bitch Jiang Mo who did it."
He gritted his teeth and wished he could kill Jiang Mo immediately: "I must regain my favor."
Mu Yunhan quickly encouraged and encouraged him.
After the Kuwang incident, they never encountered anything strange again. Marquis Dongyang became much more low-key and honest, and would not say hello to local officials unless necessary.
Mu Yunhan and Mu Li took the initiative, always leaving some time to walk around and ask questions wherever they went.
On the surface it was out of curiosity about the local customs, but in reality it was to find out what Kuwang said and to truly understand the current situation in Qi.
It was almost late spring, and the country of Qi was not as prosperous as imagined. Prices in the city were soaring, and the people in the fields were working hard, with their faces full of sorrow.
It was dinner time, but not many people were lighting up the smoke.
Mu Li went to ask for directions and inquired by the way: "It seems that the weather is going well this year, and I think there will be a good harvest. Why is dad so sad?"
The old farmer frowned: "The taxes owed last year haven't been paid yet. No matter how good the harvest is this year, it won't be enough."
Mu Yunhan knew in his mind that the current war situation would also be a heavy burden for the Qi State on the expedition.
Every day the war dragged on, the Qi army would consume a lot of food supplies, so the Emperor of Qi was so anxious.
To be honest, after putting in so much effort and finally killing the Zhao royal family, the way was blocked by a treasure river and a Meng Jia who appeared out of nowhere, which made everyone feel depressed and vomit blood.
There were many troops marching forward, but few troops marching back. Although it was difficult, she still found out what Kuwang had said.
There was indeed a man wearing a hood who was secretly escorted to the capital of Qi.
Just such a clue was enough to make Mu Yunhan extremely excited.
After spending the night at dawn, they finally arrived in Beijing, the capital of Qi State, in early summer.
No one expressed any reaction to Dongyang Hou's arrival, so he returned to Dongyang Hou's mansion in despair.
However, this so-called Dongyang Marquis' Mansion is just a small three-in courtyard with no garden, no fish pond and rockery, and no trace of the style of the Marquis' Mansion. There are not many people waiting on it, just a dozen or so people.
The Marquis of Dongyang rarely felt ashamed, and explained to Mu Yunhan: "Your Majesty said that I am still young, and being favored and granted the title of Marquis has aroused the jealousy and jealousy of many people. If the mansion given to me was bigger, more beautiful and more exquisite, it would make people even more jealous.
, it’s better to get something more affordable.”
Mu Yunhan had already found out that Emperor Qi was a romantic man and liked to make his male favorites a marquis.
For example, this was the case with the brothers Jiang Xu and Jiang Yun back then.
