I was fucked by Zheng Ge as soon as I crossed over

The sound of clinking coins was heard, and Duan Yuan stood up and walked out, preparing to take a detour to find his junior brother.

In the teahouse, the shopkeeper's wife put away the big bill, walked into the kitchen, exchanged a glance with the man who was lighting the fire, turned around and went into the inner room, and took out a wooden box from under the bed.

When the wooden box was opened, there was a booklet inside. The shop owner carefully picked up the booklet and recorded all the people who passed by today.

If Duan Yuan saw this, he would definitely regret his arbitrary decision.

How can this be okay?

It's obvious that he is pretending too well!

Heat waves surged on the official road, and the scorching breath seemed to ignite the air.

Duan Yuan walked slowly, his coarse cloth clothes were already soaked with sweat and stuck to his body. He raised his hand from time to time to wipe the sweat off his face, his brows tightly furrowed.

This horrible weather was really unbearable, and the hat was getting heavier. He stopped, took off the hat, tied it behind him, and while squatting, looked back. There was no one on the gray official road.

In this way, after bypassing two more intersections, he finally confirmed that he was not being followed.

"call……"

He let out a long sigh, and his tense nerves relaxed a little.

Duan Yuan decisively turned around and walked off the official road into a small forest path. This time, he did not take a detour, but walked straight towards the village where his junior brother Mo Xin was.

In the blink of an eye, the sky was completely dark. In the inky sky, only a few sparse stars were twinkling faintly.

Duan Yuan quickened his pace in the moonlight.

Finally, the outline of a small village appeared faintly in front of them. That was the village where Mo Xin was.

The village is small, with dozens of families living there. Smoke rises from the chimneys and the occasional barking of dogs.

Duan Yuan took back his hat, lowered his head, and walked forward along the corner of the wall.

He walked towards Mo Xin's house quietly. As soon as he reached the door, he heard faint pushing and pulling sounds coming from inside the house.

“Knock—knock—knock—”

There was a rhythmic knock on the door, and Mo Xin inside put away the kitchen knife and gave Aju a look.

Ah Ju immediately understood and came to the door, asking quietly: "Who is it? It's so late, Grandpa is asleep..."

"Aju, it's me." Duan Yuan looked around and lowered his voice to a very low voice, "Distant cousin, please open the door quickly."

With a creaky sound, the door opened, and before Duan Yuan could react, a big hand pulled him into the house.

When the door was closed, the three of them clapped each other's hands excitedly, their longing for each other evident in words.

When Mo Xin saw Duan Yuan, a big smile appeared on his face: "Senior Brother, you are finally here."

Duan Yuan nodded and asked, "Junior brother, your face looks really lifelike."

"Ha ha!"

Mo Xin laughed and rubbed a layer of mud from his face. "The rice paste is sticky, so it can only scare strangers. Don't look closely, it's full of flaws."

This is true. His basic disguise technique is just to use rice paste to stick a few wrinkles on his face. It is very unskilled.

However, with the felt hat and white hair, it does look like that from a distance.

"Brother, did you have a smooth journey? Are the Master and the others okay? Are my mother and brother okay?"

Aju happily surrounded Duan Yuan and kept asking questions.

Duan Yuan had just arrived, still exhausted from the long journey, but a gentle smile appeared on his face at Aju's enthusiasm. He patted Aju's shoulder gently and said, "Good, everything is good. Ning has grown a little taller and learned a lot more words."

When Aju heard about his brother's situation, his face was full of pride and his eyes were shining.

Duan Yuan touched Aju's head, his brows curved, and patiently described the situation in the village.

"Your mother is in good health. She's busy feeding the chickens every day and always nagging you not to worry about the family. The teacher is still as energetic as ever, but he's become much stricter when teaching people to read. Shanzi even got spanked on the palm of his hand."

Aju listened and nodded continuously. Hearing that his mother and brother were fine, he felt much less worried.

At this time, Mo Xin, who had been standing quietly by the side, chuckled, turned and walked towards the kitchen, preparing some food for Duan Yuan.

The journey was tiring and the corners of the senior brother's mouth were cracked. He must have suffered a lot on the way. He had to quickly prepare hot meals for the senior brother.

Soon, a fire was lit in the kitchen, and Duan Yuan, under Aju's persuasion, drank some warm water to relieve his fatigue.

As the water flowed down, the fatigue was immediately dispelled.

Mo Xin moved quickly. Within a quarter of an hour, the meal was on the table. The simple vegetables, eggs, and a few flatbreads were a rare delicacy in this small village.

Duan Yuan swallowed without hesitation.

"There are several strangers from the nearby village over there, saying they're doing some small business, but I always feel like they're acting suspiciously."

Mo Xin frowned and pushed the bowl towards Duan Yuan, mumbling, "Brother, how long will you stay this time?"

Duan Yuan swallowed the food in his mouth and looked up at Mo Xin. "Don't leave for now. Let's find out the situation in the mountains over there first."

He lowered his head and drank a mouthful of hot soup. He pondered for a long time before speaking again: "This time we can take advantage of the chaos to find out the power of each party. This is what Master meant."

Mo Xin frowned: "You didn't remind anyone?"

Duan Yuan nodded and continued, "If they are in danger, we will show up to rescue them."

This means that we should also wait for the next move and be ready to reap the benefits.

"That's fine." Mo Xin nodded in understanding. "Then I'll call you a distant cousin and invite you to live with me."

"it is good."

While talking, Duan Yuan buried his head in eating again.

He was indeed hungry. He had been nervous all the way and didn't dare to stop. Only now did he dare to relax and eat his fill.

Moreover, Mo Xin’s cooking skills are good, and the simple vegetables he makes are much more delicious than those made by other people.

"Junior brother, your skills have improved again."

"Then eat more, Senior Brother. I'll go get you a mattress."

The three brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they had to have a long talk.

The moon was loud and the stars became more numerous.

On the official road, the sound of horse hooves could still be heard, breaking the silence of the night.

The messengers traveled day and night accompanied by the stars and the moon. It didn't take long before the secret letter was delivered to its destination.

At the front of the patrol team, Ying Zheng took the secret letter from the black-armored guard and read it slowly and carefully.

"Ah……"

Ying Zheng laughed out of anger, squeezing out a few words from between his teeth, "In the army? Shangjun? Ha..."

He threw the secret letter down and whispered, "Call the eldest son and the emperor over."

"Yes!" The eunuch Pushe felt Ying Zheng's low mood and hurriedly trotted to the back of the golden carriage to summon the two men.

Soon, the two of them sat next to Ying Zheng.

"Father, what's the hurry?"

"Let's see……"

Ying Zheng raised his chin slightly and let Su Jinyue and Fusu read the secret letter themselves.
