Chapter 160
"My subordinates see you." The middle-aged man knelt down and bowed to Murong Mo, then got up, "Miss, the clothes in the room are ready, please come with this old slave." Shrewd, but when looking at Murong Mo, his eyes are full of excitement.
Murong Mo followed the middle-aged man to the room, nodded, and asked people to prepare bath water, while Mei and Ying returned to their respective rooms to rest.
After grooming and washing, Murong Mo changed into black clothes and dressed as a man.After changing their clothes, Mei and Ying also came in, and after a while, the middle-aged man came in again.
Seeing Murong Mo dressed in men's clothes, he smiled, "My lord, are you dining inside or outside?"
"Outside." Murong Mo nodded, satisfied with the middle-aged man's reaction, and then Mei asked, "Shopkeeper, did something happen in Luocheng? We saw many vendors when we came."
"Well, tomorrow is Luocheng's orchid and flower exhibition. It happens every three years. Starting at noon today, Luocheng will be under martial law and people are not allowed to enter or leave until the flower exhibition ends." The middle-aged man explained.
"Noon?" Mei frowned, because it was just after noon, "Then Luocheng is on alert now?"
"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded.
Mei and Ying looked at Murong Mo, and now they are racing against the clock, but they didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
"How long?" Murong Mo asked.
"One day, the city gate will be reopened in the morning of the day after tomorrow." The middle-aged man explained again, "Because some rare orchids will be auctioned during this period, martial law will be imposed. The flower exhibition will last for seven days."
Murong Mo nodded, "To avoid people's attention, then stay here and leave the day after tomorrow." Then Murong Mo and the other three followed the shopkeeper to a private room in the lobby, where voices could be heard from outside, but not Let others see your face.The three sat down, and Mei and Ying ordered a few dishes.
There was a lot of people outside, and the supply of tables and chairs was in short supply.
"I heard that the orchid flower exhibition will display more than ten kinds of precious varieties for people to appreciate. It's rare to see it." Only someone said, "You must not miss it."
"I've also heard that many well-known young masters are here this time. Moreover, I also heard that the daughter of the city lord will also appear at the orchid meeting." The man said mysteriously.
"Really? The daughter of the city lord is also a rare beauty. I heard that she has an addiction, and she hasn't come out in these years, but her talent is recognized by people. This time is really a blessing, my neighbor Brother miscalculated this time, he participated in every session, but he said that one session is not as good as the last one, and I didn’t come this year, it seems that I am lucky, haha, he must regret it if he knows! Hahaha..."
"I've heard that too. There are also rumors that the city lord will choose a husband for the daughter this time."
The voice talked a lot, but more about Lan Huahua and the daughter of the city lord.
Although the gate of the city was closed, it suddenly opened, and the one entering the city was a carriage, and two or three injured servants were sitting behind the carriage. The carriage entered Luocheng unimpeded, and came directly to a place in the middle of Luocheng. The mansion, the carriage went straight in.
"Miss, be careful." The servant girl helped the people in the carriage out.
"Yingying, Yingying is back?" Suddenly someone shouted in surprise, trotting towards the carriage, came to the people, saw the woman's appearance, and looked at the injured people behind, and asked anxiously, "What's the matter?" What's the matter? Is Yingying hurt?"
"Dad, don't worry, my daughter is fine. I ran into some bandits on the road, and everyone tried their best to protect her. My daughter is fine." This is Miss Xie Yingying.
"Okay, let's go into the house and rest for a while." The middle-aged man helped Xie Yingying into the house.
"Master, you don't know how hateful those people are, they want to arrest the young lady to become the wife of the village!" After everyone was seated, Fen'er began to complain angrily.
"What?" The man yelled as soon as he heard it, "The bandits are so bold, I want to kill them! Come!" The man was furious, slapping the table and shouting.
Xie Yingying glared at Fen'er, reached out to grab the man's hand, and said comfortingly, "Dad, don't worry, look, my daughter is fine, thanks to a son and a chivalrous woman for saving her."
"Hmph! Miss, what you said is too good. What kind of son, chivalrous woman, they..."
"Enough, Fen'er!" Seeing that Fen'er was about to say something ugly, Xie Yingying immediately stopped her.
"What's wrong?" The man asked when he saw this situation.
"It's okay, Daddy." Xie Yingying smiled at the man, but the middle-aged man didn't listen to this at all, and turned to look at Fen'er, "Fen'er, what are you talking about?"
"Master, you don't know, the lady thanked those two people afterwards, but those two people, especially the man, didn't even look at the lady, and didn't even say a polite word, it seems that the lady is some kind of scourge..." Fen'er Explained the matter in a more eloquent way.
"Oh?" After hearing this, the middle-aged man just smiled, "Did Yingying take a fancy to that man? According to Fen'er, the man has a good looks. I don't care, as long as my daughter likes it, Even if dad is tied, he will tie him back, don't worry!"
"Father, where did you go!" Xie Yingying lowered her head and said softly, "Maybe she's already married." Xie Yingying bit her lip.
"Get married? Humph! Then get divorced, and go to my baby, my baby can't be small!" said the middle-aged bully, and then said, "Yingying, this year's orchid flower show has many rich men, you Also pay attention, by the way, your cousin has also arrived, but just left."
Xie Yingying lowered her head, her face was already flushed with embarrassment, she didn't say anything, just nodded.
"Okay, don't bother me anymore, Yingying, rest more. Replenish yourself." After speaking, the middle-aged man left.
Fen'er helped Xie Yingying back to the boudoir, Xie Yingying sat on the side of the bed, and once again became dazed, her mind was full of the image of an eagle, although Xie Yingying could feel the cold and refusing breath of an eagle, but she still couldn't help thinking about it. .
Seeing Xie Yingying's dazed look, Fen'er shook her head, "Miss! Although the master respects your wishes and lets you choose your husband and son-in-law, the servants think that the master still prefers you to be with the young master Biao."
Xie Yingying came back to her senses and looked at Fen'er, "Fen'er, I know what Dad means, although I like my cousin very much, but..." Xie Yingying frowned, as if it was difficult to choose.
"Hey, it seems that today's young master is more satisfactory, isn't it? Miss?" Fen'er blinked at Xie Yingying, and then said, "Oh, miss, why do you have such a painful expression, otherwise you will put these two people together?" It's all taken." Fen'er said carefully.
"Speak out!" Xie Yingying shook her head, "What are you talking about, how do I teach you! You must never say this again, understand?" Xie Yingying said seriously.
"Oh, I know I was wrong." Fen'er bowed her head and admitted her mistake.After packing up, she turned around and left, leaving Xie Yingying in a trance, but this time a man in white appeared in Xie Yingying's mind, and white and black alternated in Xie Yingying's mind.
Murong Mo slowly tasted the delicacies on the table, listening to the stereotyped conversations outside, he was a little bored, but he was not interested in knowing the lady of the city lord, Murong Mo was more curious about orchids in comparison.
It's been a while since noon, but there is still an endless stream of people coming to eat in the lobby, it can be seen that this inn is indeed very prosperous.Murong Mo put down the chopsticks in his hand, stood up, Mei at the side lifted up the curtain, and walked out directly, and the people in the hall all looked at the man in black who suddenly appeared, with scrutiny in their eyes, which was even more eye-catching The ones were Murong Mo's earrings. Although Murong Mo changed clothes, he deliberately did not take off the earrings. Although they were worn by women, but paired with a black dress at this time, he looked resolute and evil.
Walking out of the inn, standing on the bustling street, listening to the noise on the street, Murong Mo didn't feel any tension, and the war on the beach didn't affect the celebration here.
There were many small stalls on both sides of the main road. The three of Murong Mo walked slowly, and the icy aura emanating from their bodies made the people around them evade automatically.
Although Luocheng is not as prosperous as Luoyan, there is a characteristic here. There are orchids of all kinds at the door of every shop. In the busy city, orchids make people feel peaceful.
"Miss, as expected of the city of orchids, the orchids here are a bit more aura than those in other places." Mei sighed.
Murong Mo nodded, and at this moment, the noise in front attracted all the people, and the crowd moved forward.And Murong Mo also walked over slowly.
Murong Mo, Mei, and Ying walked over from the side, and the people who followed immediately surrounded Murong Mo inside, and people looked ahead from layer to layer.On the ground, there happened to be a woman in filial piety kneeling, with her hands crossed between her legs, revealing her fair skin. From the beginning to the end, this person lowered her head and sobbed softly, while a stretcher was placed beside her , there is a person lying on it, to be precise, a dead person, the body has been completely covered, and no remains can be seen.
"Sell yourself to bury your father?" A scholar-like man read the four big blood characters written on the white cloth in front of the woman. There was no other explanation. The bloody blood showed the painful mood the master was writing.
Murong Mo crossed his arms and stood quietly aside, watching, while Mei and Ying's eyes were more playful.Because looking from the direction of Murong Mo, one of the hands lying on the corpse was just exposed, and the palm was full of thick calluses, and the skin on the back was old and dark, it looked like it belonged to a coolie.
Then someone threw some copper coins on the white cloth, but so far no one has stepped forward to make a real move. Although no one came forward, everyone cast a sympathetic look.Murong Mo took a glance. No matter what era, cold blood exists in people's blood. It's not that it doesn't exist, but that people deliberately ignore it, but it will be exposed in some details, just like now.
