After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 74 Is this the Eagle's Mouth Cliff?
When the news first came back, the city lord didn't believe it. The prince accompanied him with more than a hundred guards, all of whom were elites. Who would have such great ability to take people away without making a sound.

When he learned that the place Guoyuan was going to was Yingzui Cliff, his face suddenly turned pale, and the secret thought was over.

Eagle Mouth Cliff is a remote place, and pirates have been there since ancient times, and then they disappeared for many years, but for some reason, they have been revived in recent years.

Falling into the hands of pirates, the only way is to redeem with a lot of money. Thinking that Mengdi is highly valued by Guoyuan and should have something extraordinary, he hurried to discuss it.

"Why did Mr. Guo go there?" Hearing that Yingzui Cliff has no salt fields and no beautiful scenery, it is a place rarely visited by people, Meng Di is a little strange.

"The young master admires the achievements of Da Sima, so he went to his former residence to pay his respects."

The one who answered was the servant accompanying the chariot. Fortunately, the road was rough and the chariot was difficult to drive. Guoyuan left a few people at the foot of the mountain, otherwise there would not even be a messenger.

"Tian Rangju!" The city lord blurted out, his face even more ugly.

Grand Sima Tian Rangju was a taboo topic in Langya. When he gained power, the city lord specially sent people to repair and take care of the old residence, and all the descendants of the Fantian clan were proud of it.Later, it was rumored that he died suddenly, and many masked people in black came to the old residence. They searched inside and out, and those who went to pay their respects often disappeared for no apparent reason.

The city lord knew how powerful it was, so he didn't dare to ask about it. Over time, the old residence fell into disrepair.
"The former residence of Da Sima is on Yingzui Cliff?"

"That's not true. There is a small path in the back mountain of the former residence, which can lead to Yingzui Cliff."

Meng Di nodded, that makes sense.

Seeing that the city lord was still standing still, he asked strangely: "Why didn't you send someone to destroy the pirates quickly? I heard that Qi's navy is powerful, so it shouldn't be a problem to deal with mere pirates, right?"

"Ah, there are countless hidden reefs near Eagle's Mouth Cliff, and the navy ships can't get close to it. Besides, it's about the safety of the prince, so you can't act recklessly, the only way is to buy it."

"Could it be that the city lord wants me to redeem someone?" Meng Di rubbed his chin.

"Exactly, according to the rules of the pirates, only the bitter master can go. If we go, it will not be beautiful. The Guo family is far away in Linzi, so I can only trouble Brother Han to go there." The city owner looked at Meng Meng pitifully. Di, if such a big event happened on his own land, it would be fine if he redeemed him with some blood. If he killed the prince, he would have to be buried with him.

Therefore, we can only block the news for the time being. The Guo family is absolutely afraid to send anyone to inform them now.

This...Mengdi groaned silently. He originally planned to go to pay homage to Su'er's father, so he happened to do so conveniently, but water warfare is not his forte. I'm really not sure that I can get out of my body.

Seeing that Tian Chang had put back his hat at some point in his eyes, he nodded frequently to signal his agreement.

"it is good."

Seeing Meng Di agreeing, the city lord was overjoyed, bowing again and again and saying: "My mansion still has little property, no matter what the conditions are, I can agree."

The excuse still needs to be prepared, please go back to the mansion first, the anxious city lord, look back at Tian Chang and say: "Mr. Tian, ​​what is the meaning of this?

"Young Master Guo and I are inseparable. Now that we are in trouble, how can we stand by and watch. Brother Han is here, why don't you find out if Young Master Guo has found the relics of Da Sima?" Tian Chang's eyes flickered.

"Why, Mr. Tian also admires Da Sima?"

"Da Sima is the pride of the Tian clan, and he is also someone I admire. If any relics are found, I will keep them in the clan to enshrine one or two."

"Mr. Tian, ​​at this point, if you have anything to say, just say it. If you continue to cover up like this, don't blame me for breaking up." Still inseparable, Meng Di doesn't believe a word of Tian Chang's words now. I'm tired of always using business routes to whet my appetite.

"Okay!" Tian Chang hesitated for a while, slapped his thigh, and finally revealed the whole plan.

Rao Meng Di had expected it long ago, and was also secretly startled by Tian Chang's viciousness.

The target was indeed Tian Rangju's "Sima Fa". The original plan was to wait for Guoyuan to find it, and kill it halfway.Later, because of the rebellion of Tian's side branch, Mengdi was unable to enter the city smoothly, and there was a big scene at the gate of the city.After Tian's father and son got the news, they decided to give up the action, so as not to be discovered by the Guo family.

That's why Tian Chang came in a hurry to erase the clues.

Knowing that Guoyuan was taken captive by pirates at this time, Tian Chang found that things had turned around, and temporarily decided to ask Meng Di to use the opportunity of redeeming people to look for "Sima Law". He guessed that Guoyuan might have succeeded.

"Regardless of whether or not the "Sima Law" can be found, Mr. Guo cannot come back!"

"Mr. Tian is so deliberate here, isn't he afraid that the Guo family will find out?"

"Everything is done by pirates." Tian Chang grinned.

It is indeed a good plan, but there is a loophole, which is himself.

Meng Di knew that once Guo Yuan died, the Guo family would definitely find something suspicious about him and his party under investigation, and the Tian family would not let people who knew the inside story live in the world.

It seems that the so-called commercial road is where the Tian family died.Silence?Tian's appetite is so big, Meng Di cares about it.

"Brother Han, "Sima Law" was originally a property of the Tian family. If it can be returned to the family, everyone in the Tian family will be grateful. When the time comes, you and I will join forces to monopolize the business of Yan and Lu, and we will become rich all over the world."

He was drawing big cakes again, and Meng Di felt contemptuous in his heart, but no matter what, he had to go to the former residence of Tian Rangju first, at least this trip to Langya was not in vain.

After being patient and coping with a few words, He Su'er took a few smart guards, borrowed a few fast horses from the city, and set off under the expectant eyes of the city lord.

After half a day's work, I arrived at the land. The former residence was in the shade of a tree in the mountains. The walls were dilapidated, and it still looked like a house.

"Father!" Su'er threw herself into the courtyard and burst into tears.

"You lived here as a child?"

"At that time, my father taught me how to learn swords in the courtyard. The cypress tree was planted by my father himself."

Su'er never thought that one day she would be able to return to her hometown, remembering that her father and daughter were dependent on each other when they were young, and now they are separated forever, she can't help feeling sad and crying endlessly.

Meng Di persuaded him gently, and he calmed down after a long time.

The house has already collapsed, and it can be seen clearly from the inside and outside. Su'er walked around the yard, standing there in awe, as if she wanted to retrieve her childhood memories.

Suddenly a figure flashed in the forest. Meng Di had practiced arrows since he was a child and had amazing eyesight. He shouted: "Who is it?"

The guards all rushed out, the mountain wind was blowing, the branches and leaves were swaying, and there was no one there.

Interrupted, the two calmed down and carefully examined the surrounding environment.

There is a small path by the edge of the forest, pointing obliquely into the distance, the two looked at each other, guessing it was the road leading to the back mountain.

Sure enough, many broken branches and leaves and fresh indentations were found on the road. After careful inspection, it was close to the number of people brought by Guoyuan.

The two were brave and brave, and walked slowly along the path. After a while, they suddenly felt that they had walked out of the forest with the sound of waves.

There was a cliff in the distance, someone was standing on the edge of the cliff with his back facing the two of them with their hands behind their hands, the sea breeze was blowing, only the skirts of their clothes were flying.

Seen from behind, this person has gray hair and is quite old, Meng Di knew that it must be related to pirates, so he stepped forward and asked loudly: "Dare to ask the old man, is this place Eagle's Mouth Cliff?"
