After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 122 Trap
"Sir, General Jin's troops are about to enter the city."

The man in black who often followed Mu Chun had changed into the most ordinary civilian cloth clothes.

Mu Chun put away the secret letter in his hand and looked up, "Jin Shaoyi?"

"Yes."

"How many people did he bring?"

"No more than 20,000."

Mu Chun placed the letter in his hand over the candle flame, and the flame instantly swallowed the secret letter.

"The Jin family's Tiger Guards have been in the southeast, and this is the only way to get to the capital."

"Your Majesty is much more vigilant than the Sage."

As he spoke, he took out a very fine brush and wrote a few words on a new piece of paper.

In a moment, the words on the note disappeared.

"Send it back to Beijing."

Mu Chun looked at the dancing flames and stopped the servant who was about to go out.

"Wan Lie."

Wan Lie turned around and said, "I'm here."

"The Guangyang City Guard has already met me. Although I have not revealed my identity, I have dealt with it quietly in order to avoid alerting the enemy."

"Yes."

Only after Wan Lie left did Muchun slowly take off the mask on his face.

If a timid person saw that half face, he would probably scream and faint immediately.

The face was covered with scars, and one of the eyes had even lost its eyeball, leaving only a dark hole.

It is not difficult to imagine what kind of torture Mu Chun had suffered to become what he is now.

He looked at the mask he had worn for several years, thinking of his daughter whom he had missed so much during the day, and his face was filled with tears.

——"Now you say you want to protect me, what does that mean? Are you flattering yourself?!"

——"You are not my father. My father is Rong Pingyuan. He cares about the people and is definitely not a demon like you!"

Yes, he is a demon now, killing people without blinking an eye and treating human life as worthless.

That bright and clear Mr. Mingshi died a long time ago.

"gentlemen."

Mu Chun quickly put on the mask and his face returned to its indifferent expression.

"What's the matter."

"The mute girl came to report that the girl is sick."

"Is it serious?" Mu Chun stood up immediately.

Qiu Yi raised his head slightly. This was the first time he saw Mr. Mu lose his composure like this.

"Mummy said she has called a doctor and it's not a big problem. It will be fine after taking medicine for two days."

Hearing this, Mu Chun's frown relaxed, "Then we can leave two days later."

Qiu Yi raised his head and said, "Sir, there is no time to lose..."

Muchun's eyes narrowed slightly, "Go down and receive five lashes yourself."

Qiu Yi pursed his lips tightly, and after a long while he squeezed out a word from his teeth, "Yes."

Western Jin Dynasty, Kulemon
Unlike the town of Daqi, the city of the Western Jin Dynasty was called Mengcheng.

Kulemeng is the Meng city closest to Daqi. There are many goods in Meng city that were exchanged from Daqi and Dajintao and then resold here.

There are quite a few people here, and many other people from Montreal also come here to exchange necessities and then resell them.

I guess it’s the same as Daqi. If it’s sold in a very cheap place, it will become a sky-high price after being traded a few times.

The most expensive product in the Western Jin Dynasty was Daqi silk. The Western Jin Dynasty did not have the technology for sericulture and weaving, so both civilians and merchants wore the simplest and most readily available cotton and linen.

Silk is a delicate and diverse fabric that is hard to buy even if you have money.

Qin Anjiang's pocket contained the unique knife coins of the Western Jin Dynasty, which he exchanged for two bags of salt in Yangxie Town. Ji Yunzhang secretly memorized the city map of Kulemeng.

He found that there were only shops, restaurants, and study rooms in the city, few inns, and no residential houses.

So this place is just like Yangxie Town, a deserted city at night?
There was no one guarding Mengcheng, only a few soldiers at the official residence.

Almost everyone in the city was leading a horse, and on the horse's back were several bulging bags with all the purchased things.

Ji Yunzhang glanced at Qin Anjiang.

That's it?

This is too easy. As long as they have the Si Nan in their hands, they can quickly draw a map on this vast grassland.

Mengcheng is not big. If a large army really attacks, even if the whole city is filled with people, three hundred people can flatten it!

The two walked around the city before finding an inn.

The waiter who was leaning behind the counter was dozing off. Just as Ji Yunzhang was about to step in, he was pulled away by Qin Anjiang.

The dozing waiter fell headfirst onto the counter and was suddenly awakened. When he opened his eyes, he saw two young men passing by.

He yawned loudly and continued to doze off.

Ji Yunzhang did not forget that he was now a mute and could only look at Qin Anjiang inquiringly.

Qin Anjiang held the reins with one hand and put the other hand on his shoulder.

He said nothing, but just pressed his little arm on his shoulder, and then three Western Jin soldiers walked past the corner of the street.

Ji Yunzhang couldn't help but turn his head and saw the three soldiers entering the inn.

He instantly broke out in a cold sweat. If he had gone in just now, it would have been difficult for him not to be recognized.

Qin Anjiang took Ji Yunzhang to buy some dry food and left the city before sunset.

After leaving the city, the two continued to head west and stopped to rest on a hill far away.

At this time, we can see that people in the city are coming out one after another, and everyone's horse has more or less luggage on it.

Ji Yunchang recalled the inn he had just visited in the city.

"General Qin, how did you know that the inn cannot be entered?"

Qin Anjiang took a bite of his dry food and said, "That inn is too dirty."

"what?"

"It's strange that there is only one inn in a city, but this inn is so dirty that it looks like no one has ever lived there. The beams and stair railings are covered with cobwebs."

"The only thing that was rubbed was the counter where the waiter took a nap, which was shiny."

Ji Yunzhang pursed his lips, "Is that just a trap?"

"almost."

"The Western Jin people were originally a nomadic people. They settled wherever there was grass. They took their homes with them whenever they went. Therefore, the people who came to Kulemeng City were all there to get supplies."

"So people here don't have the need to stay in a hotel. This hotel is for people from Daqi."

"As long as you enter the store, you are a spy."

Ji Yunzhang sat down on the spot, turned his head and said to him, "We are lucky to have General Qin today!"

Qin Anjiang turned his neck somewhat awkwardly.

"You and I are one now. If I don't remind you, I will be implicated by you!"

Ji Yunzhang didn't care about his tone. He lay back on the ground and said, "This time last year, I was still fighting with my mother and didn't want to get married. But now I am standing on the land of Western Jin."

"Now that I'm a father, I understand the choices my grandfather and my father made, and why they stayed in this barren place for decades."

"It was their perseverance that allowed me to grow up safely."

"My wife gave birth to twins. They were just born and their lives haven't even started yet."

"I want them to grow up safely like me."

Qin Anjiang turned his head and looked at Ji Yunzhang, who was resting his head on his hands, and spoke after a while.

"If the emperor you follow is not a wise ruler, does it matter?"

Ji Yunzhang was slightly stunned. He looked back at Qin Anjiang, whose eyes were calm. He hesitated for a long time before he could say anything.
