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

Chapter 123 Going to Western Jin Dynasty? !

The team outside the city was in uniform formation, with ten people holding a torch, like a long fire dragon.

Deputy General Wei Shuo drove his horse forward and said, "General, Guangyang is ahead."

Jin Shaoyi pulled the reins and the horse he was sitting on stopped obediently.

"Set up camp right here."

"Deputy General Wei, go and deliver a note and say hello. There are so many of us stationed outside the city, don't scare the people who are leaving the city tomorrow."

"Yes."

Jin Shaoyi dismounted, and the troops behind him quickly dispersed and began to set up camp in an orderly manner.

The gate of Guangyang City was half-old, and there was only one soldier standing guard at the gate.

Wei Shuo was allowed to enter the city only after he took out the command flag to prove his identity.

Jin Shaoyi took off the helmet on his head.

After he got married to Ji Saner last year, his father retired and his son took over his business.

I've been away from home for so long, and I only went back once last year when Liu gave birth to a child. The child must be a toddler now.

I had heard before that Ji Saner had made great contributions to the country and had already become the commander of the Palace Front Department.

This time when I go back, I must have a good drink with him.

The cook put up the pot and holding a large spoon, he suddenly thought of a delicacy from Guangyang.

"Brothers, I heard that the Lingyang fish in Guangyang is the most delicious in the world. Brothers who can catch fish, go catch some and have a taste!"

Guangyang is close to the water, has natural river advantages, and has developed fishing and shipping industries. It was once a prosperous city.

Decades ago, after the canal was dug, most shipping took the more convenient canal, and Guangyang gradually declined.

After getting Jin Shaoyi's approval, a group of more than a dozen soldiers who were familiar with water went fishing with torches and fishing gear.

Soon, the dozen or so soldiers were carrying net bags full of big, fat fish.

One of the leaders of the group said as he gutted the happy fish, "There are fish this big. Don't people here fish?"

Another person said, "Live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water. Guangyang is by the water, so how could he not fish?"

"That's probably because the water in Guangyang is good, so the fish are fat and grow fast."

"Never mind, as long as we have a snack tonight! I still can't forget Chef Cai's fish in sour soup!"

Wei Shuo came back before dinner was ready.

"General, Lord Zhu from the City Guard House has not returned yet. I have waited for more than half an hour but have not seen him. So I left the note with the clerk in the house and am now back to report."

Jin Shaoyi nodded and pointed at the firemen behind him, "We are in for a treat today, they caught a lot of fish."

Wei Shuo frowned, still thinking about the things in the city.

"General, I find it strange that there are so few people in the city."

"I have asked around and found out that Guangyang suffered from famine last year and snowstorms in winter. Most of the people in this city have fled. But it is the spring equinox now, when everything is growing. Some of those who fled should come back. It is impossible for all of them to come back."

"If I continue to ask, the man will not say anything anymore."

As he spoke, he looked up at Jin Shaoyi and said, "I think this city guard must be a threat to the area, so the people in the city have so much suffering."

Jin Shaoyi looked back and saw that he had cooked twenty pots of fish.

Then he turned back to look at Wei Shuo, "Are you saying that there is no one in the city now?"

"What do the other people in the City Guard House look like?"

Wei Shuo shook his head. "I only saw that Bi Tieshi, and no one else."

Jin Shaoyi pondered for a moment, looking at the now empty city gate, "You two go to the City Guard House again and take a look inside to see if there is anything else that we cannot see."

"Yes."

-

The moon was high in the sky, the yard was empty, and the moonlight was scattered all over the ground.

There was only one light on in the courtyard.

In the room, Haitang touched the young lady's forehead and found that her fever had subsided.

Her heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

That day, she accompanied the lady and the young lady and the two young masters to Xiangguo Temple to pick up blessings.

Who would have thought that Xiangguo Temple would be robbed!
As soon as they entered, they saw a pool of fragrant oil on the ground.

There was another man in white in the room, wiping a lamp with a handkerchief in his hand. She naturally thought that this man had accidentally knocked over the lamp.

That's why he cleaned the lamp and added oil so carefully.

The man had just turned around, and before she could see what was going on, she suddenly felt a pain on the back of her neck and fainted completely.

When she woke up again, she was on the boat, locked in a small room all by herself.

When the boat arrived at the destination, she came out of the cabin and saw that the young lady had also been captured.

The masked man in white came out again. Before she could react, what did that man say?
Why does it seem like the young lady knows that person?

Now they are locked up in this small courtyard.

Haitang patted her chest. What she was sure of now was that their lives were not in danger for the time being.

I just don't know where this person wants them to go.

The two little masters were just born and don’t know the young lady yet. Now they are far away from each other and don’t know when they can return to Beijing.

I don’t know if they can still return alive.

During the day, the mute girl who had helped the young lady to invite a doctor came back with some food and clothes.

She put her things down and was about to leave, but Haitang reached out to stop her.

"Where are we going after you capture us?"

Haitang saw that she was hesitant and said, "Show me what you mean. I can understand."

Her grandmother couldn't speak either, so she learned sign language from a young age.

Ya Gu gestured with her hands, but Haitang's eyes widened.

"Western Jin Dynasty?!"

Her voice suddenly rose, and Ya Gu was so scared that she quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

After seeing that she was quiet, he continued to gesture.

——I was hired before they set sail. I overheard that they were going to the Western Jin Dynasty. You should find a chance to escape.

Haitang glanced outside the door and saw that the man in black from the daytime was not there.

But she didn't dare to speak anymore and started to gesture like the mute girl.

——Do you know how many people there are?
The mute girl looked back at the door, pursed her lips and gestured.

——When I was on the boat, I saw about four or five people who looked very fierce. You have to be careful.

Seeing this, Haitang’s face turned pale.

Could it be that they really didn't survive to return?

Suddenly a dark shadow jumped down from the roof and landed in front of the open door.

The two people who were still gesturing in the room were startled.

Qiu Yi looked at the two of them, a cruel light flashing in his eyes, and he stretched out his hand and patted them.

"I didn't expect you two had such a good ability to pass on messages."

As he spoke, his expression suddenly changed, and he took out a dagger from his hand. He walked very quickly and came in front of the two men.

"I can't kill the girl, but I can still kill you two."

Before he could finish his words, the dagger moved forward with a "swish" sound.

The mute girl's eyes widened, her throat was cut open by Qiu Yi. She opened her mouth in pain, but because she was mute, she couldn't make a sound.

The blood spurting from her throat splashed all over Haitang's face who was standing opposite her.

The warm blood splattered on Haitang's face, eyebrows, and eyes.

Haitang's eyes were just bloodshot, and she seemed to be frozen, unable to make a sound or move.

Qiu Yi glanced at the mute girl lying on the ground, curled the corners of his lips, and looked at Haitang again.

The frightened Haitang looked at the lifeless Yagu lying on the ground in horror.

Qiu Yi looked at Haitang's beautiful face and suddenly had different thoughts.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, a voice came from outside.

"Qiu Yi, you passed."
