Not long after, the youth in Chinese clothes that I saw at the market today walked into the cell, and he called out to the county magistrate with a dejected expression: "Father."

The magistrate put on a straight face on purpose, and said viciously: "Quickly apologize to the two young masters, you are too ignorant, can this kind of joke be made casually? If the two young masters don't forgive you, I can only drive you away as a father. Something went wrong."

The young man trembled in fear, and cried out, "Father."

The county magistrate kicked him heavily, "Quickly apologize to the two sons."

The young man jumped forward and was about to kneel down. Fan Yi put his toes against his knees and said with a sneer, "We can't bear such a big ceremony."

The young man took advantage of the opportunity to stand up, lowered his head, covered his expression, and said in a sincere tone, "The villain has eyes that don't recognize Mount Tai, and it's the villain's fault that he ran into the two young masters. The two adults don't care about the villain's fault." ,Please bear with me."

The magistrate also smiled and said: "Yes, yes, the two young masters have a lot, and they will definitely not care about like dogs.

Mu Yuan watched the father and son's affectations with cold eyes. It was rare that this sullen and rebellious young man was so submissive.

Who is it?In fact, Mu Yuan already had an answer in his heart, anyway, he'll know when he goes out later.

Fan Yi subconsciously looked at Mu Yuan, seeing that he didn't express any more, thought for a while, and said, "If you say that, if I still care about it, I will become a villain."

"Don't dare." The magistrate said hastily.

"Forget it, I'm not comfortable staying in this cold and damp place for a long time. Take us out." Fan Yi patted the corner of his clothes and stood up.

Although Fan Yi always looks unruly, he is not ignorant of human affairs.This time he was able to be released so quickly, and the attitude of the other party was so different, someone must have stepped forward.Fan Yi thought he didn't know any important people, so he thought the person was here because of Mu Yuan.Mu Yuan was originally implicated by himself, so it's okay for him to make things difficult and vent his anger at will, it's not beautiful to make more entanglements.

Since Fan Yi let go, Mu Yuan naturally didn't have any objections. He was not a troublesome person in the first place.

The county magistrate was overjoyed, and hurriedly said respectfully, "Please, two gentlemen."

I'm afraid that something will happen again.

The county magistrate did not directly send the two out of the county office, but invited them to the lobby.

Fan Yi asked suspiciously, "My lord, this seems to be the wrong way. Didn't you send us out?"

The county magistrate smiled and said, "Someone is waiting for the two young masters, please stay a little longer."

Presumably he was the one who helped them out, so Fan Yi stopped talking.

When Fang arrived at the lobby, Tian Yuan greeted him, looked Mu Yuan up and down, and asked, "Master, are you okay, did they make things difficult for you?"

Before Mu Yuan could answer, the magistrate hurriedly replied: "No, they dare not make things difficult for the two young masters."

Tian Yuan gave him a very rude look, and only looked at Mu Yuan.

Mu Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Then he gestured with his eyes and asked him what was going on.

Tian Yuan pursed his lips and smiled, stepped aside, revealing a person standing behind him.

When Mu Yuan saw this young man who was as tall and straight as a sword, he understood everything.

Mu Yuan had met this man several times, but he couldn't say how familiar he was.When we met for the first time, it was at Lingyin Temple, he suddenly appeared, blocking my way to explore; the second meeting was when I was in distress and the other party led people to come to help; And now, when I was in trouble, the other party appeared again.

But Mu Yuan naturally knew better that he was standing here at this moment, not because of himself, but because of another person.That is, every time they meet, it is because of that other person.

The other one is of course Xin Wang Ji Jin; and the young man in front of him is of course the number one bodyguard beside Xin Wang - Ling Wei.

At this point, all of Mu Yuan's doubts were resolved. A fifth-rank Beijing military attache is naturally enough to frighten a seventh-rank county magistrate, not to mention that everyone knows who is standing behind him.

Ling Wei took a step forward, cupped his hands slightly, looked directly at Mu Yuan, "Young Master Mu."

With other people present, he didn't explain why he was here, he just glanced at the county magistrate, and asked directly without hesitation: "How does Mr. Mu want to solve this matter?"

Zhixian's face turned pale, and he looked at Mu Yan with a hint of pleading.

Mu Yuan smiled faintly: "Since there's nothing wrong, I don't want to cause any more trouble. Thanks to Guard Ling for coming to rescue me."

Ling Wei's voice has never fluctuated, just like his whole person, like a sword ready to be unsheathed at any time, "It should."

Zhixian breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly wiped his forehead.

Ling Wei glanced at him again, and said coldly: "Master Yan, you and I both know why this matter happened. But since Mr. Mu doesn't want to care about it, I'm just passing by and it's not my duty, so this matter is fine." But I still have a word of advice, Mr. Yan should think twice about what you do. If someone reports what Mr. Ling did to the supervisory censor, you should know what the consequences will be. Even my master can't tolerate the slightest bit of sand in his eyes .”

"Yes, yes, thank you for reminding me, my lord, I know I was wrong. It's because the officials are not strict in discipline, and I will definitely discipline the dog strictly in the future, so as not to let him do anything wrong." The magistrate's forehead seemed to be sweating more and more. .

Ling Wei finally said, "Let's do it for ourselves."

After leaving the county office, Mu Yuan saw the carriage parked in a secluded place at a glance. For more than a month before, he rode with Ji Jin almost every day, so he was very familiar with it.However, he clearly remembered that when Ji Jin left that day, he left in a carriage.

Mu Yuan looked at Ling Wei.

Ling Wei explained: "When the master arrived in Chuzhou, he changed his fast horse and ordered me to drive the carriage back to Yangzhou to wait for Mr. Mu. Regardless of Mr. Mu's next itinerary, my task is to ensure Mr. Mu's safety until you As far as the capital. When I arrived in Yangzhou, I heard from the manager of the Yuelai Inn that you had come to Jiangdu, so I followed him. I met this little brother on the road, and we knew that something happened to you, so we rushed over together."

Ling Wei spoke calmly, but Mu Yuan's heart was agitated when he heard that Ji Jin had arranged for him so thoughtfully.If Ling Wei hadn't arrived in time today, apart from being imprisoned, he might have suffered a lot of flesh and blood.

Mu Yuan's heart was filled with warmth, and he opened his mouth and said, "Wang...how is everything going on with him?"

Ling Wei replied: "When I left, everything was fine. According to the footsteps, I will arrive in Kyoto in two days."

Mu Yuan nodded, imagining the heroic figure of the man galloping on the horse, he couldn't help but smile, and after a while, he turned around and said to Ling Wei, "I'm sorry to trouble Guard Ling."

Ling Wei still said calmly: "The responsibility is, it should be."

After this incident, there was no interest in traveling anymore. Mu Yuan planned to go back to Yangzhou directly, so he said to Fan Yi who had not yet left: "Shixuan, what are your plans for the future?"

Just now when Mu Yuan was talking to Ling Wei, Fan Yi looked at the carriage with great interest, and when he heard Mu Yuan's question, he replied, "Where's Yun Zhi?"

"I'm going back to Yangzhou. Counting these two days, my father's reply letter should be here soon."

"Then I'll go to Yangzhou too. The purpose of my trip is to play chess with you, Yun Zhi. I haven't finished playing chess yet. Of course, I will go wherever you go." Fan Yi said directly.

Mu Yuan smiled, "This is exactly what I want." Then he turned to Ling Wei and said, "Does Guard Ling mind if I bring a friend with me?"

Ling Wei said: "Young Master Mu, you can do whatever you want."

The three of them got into the carriage, and Ling Wei also jumped into the carriage. It was getting late at this time, but with Ling Wei's driving skills, it was not a problem to reach Yangzhou before the city gate closed.

When they arrived in Yangzhou and entered the inn, Ling Wei and Fan Yi each asked for a room and went to rest without mentioning it. Tian Yuan waited on Mu Yuan to wash up, and couldn't help asking: "Young master, is Mr. Ji's identity very powerful?"

Mu Yuan glanced at him, and said lightly, "Why do you ask such a question?"

Tian Yuan said: "Today in the Jiangdu county government office, the smelly county magistrate was very arrogant, and said that we broke into the county government office privately and wanted to beat us. His face turned pale with fright, and he immediately knelt down to plead guilty. The county magistrate is a county magistrate, and he was so scared when he saw Brother Ling, which shows that Brother Ling's status is not ordinary. As the master of Brother Ling, Third Master Ji is naturally even more incredible."

Mu Yuan deliberately teased him: "The analysis is clear and logical, but Tian Yuan has a talent for investigating cases."

Tian Yuan pouted and said: "Master, you are teasing others again, this is obviously an obvious thing, okay?"

Mu Yuan smiled, it's no wonder that Tian Yuan didn't know Ji Jin's identity. After the two talked, Mu Yuan still called Ji Jin Brother Ji in front of others, and only called him Prince in private, the only time he was in front of him. Tian Yuan's name was called this in the carriage on the return journey after being in distress. At that time, Tian Yuan happened to be asleep and didn't hear it.If Tian Yuan hadn't taken the initiative to ask, Mu Yuan would not have revealed Ji Jin's identity casually.

After being silent for a while, Mu Yuan said: "Actually, you will know about it when you are in the capital. But it's okay to tell you now, he is the King of Xin."

When he uttered the word "Xin Wang", Mu Yuan paused in his heart, as if he could meet this person by calling out this title.It's only been a few days since we've been apart, why does it feel like it's been so long?

Tian Yuan didn't notice Mu Yuan's emotions. He widened his eyes and opened his mouth when he heard the word "Xin Wang", "Xin, Xin, Xin Wang?! We actually know a prince? So you say that?" Come on, brother Moyan is the servant of the palace? It's no wonder he knows so much."

After Tian Yuan talked to himself, Mu Yuan found it interesting, but Tian Yuan was relieved. After knowing this, he was just casually surprised, and got used to it so quickly.

After a while, Tian Yuan suddenly felt a little frustrated and said: "However, if brother Mo Yan is a servant of the palace, then even if I go to the capital, I can't go to him casually."

Mu Yuan's heart skipped a beat. Tian Yuan's words seemed to empathize with him. He originally thought that he would be able to meet after entering the capital. .

Thinking of this, I felt a little melancholy for no reason.
