The two followed the stream, and before they found the house, someone had already found it.

In addition to Mo Yan and Tian Yuan, there were three guards in deep clothes. One was Ling Xuan who had been driving for them before and then disappeared; One; the last one was never seen.

The three of them walked faster, came to Ji Jin, knelt on one knee, bowed their heads and cupped their fists, their movements were in unison, and they said in a low voice: "My subordinate is late for rescue, please punish me."

From the time they appeared, Ji Jin withdrew the tenderness they had when they were alone, and his expression was calm and coercive, showing the demeanor of the superior.At this moment, he also nodded slightly, without even stretching out his hand, and said lightly: "Get up, I don't blame you for this matter. It's worth the effort to find them so quickly."

The three stood up silently without saying a word.

At this time, Mo Yan and Tian Yuan also came close.

The eye circles of both of them were a little red, Mo Yan was still calm, walked up to Ji Jin and knelt down with a "plop", and said with a little choking: "Master, the little protector is not good, please punish me."

Ji Jin reached out and pulled him up: "Get up, as long as you're fine."

Tian Yuan was obviously terrified, and when he saw Mu Yuan, he rushed towards him, tears streaming down his face again: "Master, it's great that you're fine, Tian Yuan was really scared to death."

Seeing that he was about to be embraced, Ji Jin suddenly slapped Tian Yuan's hand that was about to press Mu Yuan's right arm, "Don't touch it, his hand is hurt."

Tian Yuan was taken aback for a moment, tears were frightened back.

It was only then that Ji Jin felt that he had overreacted, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and coughed lightly.

Mu Yuan looked at him tenderly with eyes full of smiles, touched his palm with his fingers, then stroked Tian Yuan's hair, rubbed it and said: "A little injury, it's nothing serious, don't worry. "

Tian Yuan was aggrieved and terrified again: "Master..."

Mu Yuan changed the subject and said, "Yesterday, you didn't encounter any danger, did you?"

Tian Yuan's eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "Thanks to Brother Mo Yan, we are fine."

Ji Jin also turned his gaze to Mo Yan, and Mo Yan continued naturally: "Yesterday after Master Mu and I left, Tian Yuan and I packed our things and were about to follow, when suddenly a man in black appeared to challenge us. The little one fought him a few times, because he was worried about the safety of the master and did not dare to fight. Unexpectedly, when we retreated, the man in black did not pursue him. We went back along the way, but we did not meet the two masters. Mo Yan guessed that it was probably What happened, I wanted to go to the magistrate's yamen to ask for some rescuers, but when I got back to the city, I happened to meet some brothers Ling coming back, so we searched for it together. Fortunately, after dawn, I found the old man left behind in the forest. This is how I found it all the way.”

Mu Yuan then remembered that Ji Jin would fiddle with every fork in the road before, and now that he thinks about it, he is just making a mark.Those so-called marks are completely meaningless in Mu Yuan's eyes, and he is not worried that the group of people who chased them will find them.However, when doing these things, although Ji Jin didn't explain anything to him, he didn't avoid him at all.

He actually trusted me so much.Mu Yuan thought about it, and turned his head to look at Ji Jin who was expressionless at the moment, feeling warm in his heart.

The leading guard who was silent before also said at this time: "After finding the secret mark of the master in the forest, he found that the master might have walked to the other side of the mountain, so he asked Ah Si to go back and drive. He should have been in the car by now. I'm waiting for you, Grandpa."

After running around all night, he was indeed physically and mentally exhausted. Naturally, what he needed most at this time was to take a good rest. Ji Jin nodded and praised: "Ling Wei is still considerate."

When we got to a flat place ahead, we saw Ji Jin's large carriage.

Several people got into the car, besides Ah Si who drove over before, Ling Xuan was sitting outside.

The compartment is spacious, and six people don't feel crowded.

It was quite silent in the carriage, Ji Jin seemed to be thinking about something, and Mu Yuan didn't make a sound to disturb each other.Mo Yan and Tian Yuan also didn't sleep all night. After climbing the mountain for a day and worrying about nervousness, they are also a little sleepy now, and they supported each other and dozed off.Only the two guards were still in good spirits, with eyes full of spirit.

Because he is quiet enough, he is very keen on the eyes cast on him from time to time. Mu Yuan can probably guess why the sword-browed and star-eyed guard named Ling Wei looked at him frequently, even when he saw his eyes when he first met him. The surprise in him is still in front of my eyes.

It's just that since the other party doesn't speak, there's no point for me to start the topic first, anyway, I have long been accustomed to the gaze of others.

Soon Ji Jin also noticed this unusualness, after a little thought, he had a clue in his mind, pointed to Mu Yuan and said, "This is Mr. Mu Yuan, we met by the West Lake and traveled together to Yangzhou."

Ling Wei and another guard bowed their hands together and said, "I've seen Mr. Mu."

Mu Yuan also saluted back.

Ling Wei looked at Mu Yuan, as if hesitating for something, hesitant to speak.

Ji Jin then asked: "What do you want to say, but it doesn't matter."

Only then did Ling Wei say: "This subordinate dare not hide anything from the Lord. This subordinate has met this Mr. Mu before."

"Oh," Ji Jin responded, and continued: "Where did you meet? When?"

"A month ago, my subordinate went to Lingyin Temple with my master. At that time, my master was playing chess with Grand Master Jingkong in the Buddhist monastery. This Mr. Mu happened to pass by, so my subordinate stopped him. That's where I saw him."

Hearing this, Ji Jin and Mu Yuan looked at each other, both of them smiled, Ji Jin said with some self-deprecation: "Brother Mu, look, it's really a coincidence, if you had met earlier, I wouldn't pretend to hide it Very good. Brother Mu must have laughed to himself for a long time."

Mu Yuan smiled warmly, and replied: "The prince is joking."

Ji Jin laughed, he was indeed joking.But in the bottom of my heart, I'm glad. Fortunately, they just met at this time. Otherwise, with my suspicious nature, if I knew that Mu Yuan had appeared in Lingyin Temple, I might have known my identity, and it happened that I met by the West Lake. He would suspect that this was a well-planned encounter.If he had a heart disease from the beginning, it would be impossible for him to get along with Mu Yuan without any grievances in the future.

But now, even if they already knew everything at that time, they would only feel that this was a fate.Suspicious people are also more confident, Ji Jin trusts his own vision and intuition, he believes that the time spent together day and night during this period is not fake, and Mu Yuan's calm and calm temperament and behavior are even less likely to be fake.

What's more, Mu Yuan was even honest with him, and even told him all about that incredible experience.Ji Jin believes that what he said is true, because he knows very well that it is difficult for people who have not really experienced it to be so immersive.

Seeing the reaction of the two of them, Ling Wei seemed to understand a little bit, "It turns out that the master already knew about it."

Ji Jin smiled, but said: "Ling Wei, you have done a good job. After returning to Beijing, I will invite Your Majesty, and your level should also be raised."

Rao Ling Wei, who has always been indifferent to emotions, also showed a surprised expression, and saluted: "Thank you, Lord."

Another guard next to him congratulated him and said, "Congratulations, brother."

After a while, Ji Jin began to ask: "Did you find any clues when you came here? Did you meet the men in black who came to assassinate?"

Ling Wei glanced at Mu Yuan and Tian Yuan, with a slightly hesitant look, Ji Jin said, "It's okay to be straightforward, there are no outsiders here."

Ling Wei opened his mouth and said: "In the dense forest to the west, there are traces of fighting and some blood. It should be the place where the master and them got entangled. Afterwards, there were only five people on the other side. Maybe they saw us We couldn't take advantage of it, so we retreated before the fight. We were anxious to find the master, and we were also chasing them. Seeing how they behaved, my subordinates guessed that they should be the people from the Star Picking Tower."

Ji Jin lowered his eyes and pondered for a while and said: "Isn't the headquarters of Zhaixing Tower in Chenzhou? It seems that Wei Wang's Yue's family is in Chenzhou. What did you find this time?"

Ling Wei clasped his hands and said, "I live up to my master's entrustment, the subordinates really made a big discovery this time."

"Is it related to King Wei?" Ji Jin asked.

"Yes."

Ji Jin nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

After a pause, Ling Wei said again: "Master, Your Majesty has sent a secret letter to urgently call you back to Beijing."

Ji Jin glanced at him and said lightly, "Okay, I got it."

When we arrived in Yangzhou, it was already late.

Today was originally the last day of Yangzhou Lunping, and it was also the last battle between Mu Yuan and Huan Zhanxuan for the chess king. Unfortunately, because of this accident, Mu Yuan had already missed this round.

Neither Mu Yuan nor Ji Jin mentioned this matter before.

For Mu Yuan, whether he can get the title of Chess King is not that important. If he wants to become a candidate for chess, winning the championship in Yangzhou Lunping is only one of the methods, not the only one.It's just a pity that I can't fight Huan Zhanxuan in such a match.

As for Ji Jin, the same is true.In his opinion, Mu Yuan's victory over Huan Zhanxuan has long been a given, and this game is just to present another wonderful game record for chess players.As for missing Yangzhou's Pingtou Jia and then obtaining the qualifications for the alternative chess to be ordered, that's nothing.With King Xin's prestige, it is naturally easy to recommend an alternative chess game.

Both of them knew each other well, so Ji Jin naturally didn't need to feel guilty.

Therefore, before stepping into the inn, they all thought that Huan Zhanxuan must be the leader of Lunping this time.

When we arrived at the inn, Ling Wei went to book two rooms first.Today is the last day of Lunping. Many chess players from nearby counties and cities went back home after the last game, and the guest rooms are no longer so tense.

They asked for a private room on the second floor, and they planned to have a quiet meal before going to rest.

Not long after I sat down, I heard some noises from the next room.

The wooden screen originally had a limited sound insulation effect, and the young people next door were quite loud because of their excitement, and the few present were all sharp-eyed, so naturally they could hear clearly.

"Today's Lunping is really full of twists and turns, with ups and downs. I thought that Master Huan Zhanxuanhuan won the title of Chess King before Mu Yun arrived. Unexpectedly, Fan Shixuan was killed halfway."

"If you say that this Fan Shixuan really deserves to be recommended by Master Jingkong, with one against three, he still has the upper hand, killing all three of them without leaving any behind."

"It is said that he plays chess very fast, with one against three, and he is still urging the three of them frequently."

"This is the first time I have seen such a master."

"Tell me, he and Mu Yunzhi, which one is higher?"

"Well, it's hard to say. If Mu Yunzhi can play today, I'm optimistic about him."

"Hey, what's not to say, you didn't even show up, don't be afraid of losing. Such a cowardly person is the most shameless of my generation."

"Don't say that, maybe someone really has something to do."

"Is there anything more important than winning the chess king?!"

"Brother Song, don't pay attention to him. He bet a lot of money on Mu Yunzhi, but he didn't show up, causing him to lose the money. This is to vent his anger!"

The voice who was dissatisfied with Mu Yuan before yelled a few words angrily, which caused a burst of laughter from his friends.

Hearing this, Ji Jin smiled at Mu Yuan and said, "It seems that I've made Brother Mu tired. I'm afraid those who bet on Brother Mu in the past two days will turn their anger on you."

Mu Yuan smiled lightly, and said indifferently: "This is something that can't be helped."

Ji Jin said again: "It sounds like it's different from what we expected, Mo Yan, go out and find out what's going on with today's Lunping."

"Yes, Lord." Mo Yan answered and pushed the door straight out.
