The Mystery of Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 9 Pavilion!

Chang Yun was drinking mutton soup with Mu Tianye at a roadside stall.

In Taihua Building, he didn't eat a few bites of food, and there was another fight. Chang Yun was already hungry, and he ate up a bowl of mutton soup and two mustard cakes in a short while.

Mu Tianye was looking at this "little brother" who had just been accepted with a complicated expression at the moment. Chang Yun looked at his uneasy face and asked, "Brother, what are you doing staring at me?"

Mu Tianye was thinking a lot at the moment, this "little brother" who was not two years older than him, just beat Liu Quan, the number one evil young man in Kyoto, and fought dozens of tricks with Duan Zhengkun, a disciple of the King of Rong. Although he almost lost, but that It's Duan Zhengkun, one of the most famous swordsmen in Kyoto. Many people describe him as the No. 1 swordsman in Kyoto who is under the mysterious realm. Given time, he will surely be able to break through the transformation realm and enter the profound realm.

Mu Tianye sighed, "I'm really worried about our tomorrow."

Chang Yun was even more surprised: "What are you worried about?"

Mu Tianye said, "Do you know Liu Quan's background?"

Chang Yun nodded: "Didn't you say it before, his father is the head of the Armed Forces Academy, and his mother is a princess."

Mu Tianye said again: "His father is Liu Daoen, the dean of the Armed Forces Academy, and his mother is the Holy Lord's cousin, Princess Yun'an. He also has an uncle who is the leader of our country's literary world, Liu Daogu, the master of Liu."

Chang Yun was surprised and said: "Both civil and military, his grandfather really knows how to give birth, I admire him."

Mu Tianye rolled his eyes at Chang Yun, and then said: "Liu Quan's eldest brother has now entered an official position, and he is the secretary of the current Holy Majesty, Liu Shiyi's family, and the holy family is prosperous, little brother."

Chang Yun said indifferently: "Then I offended them badly."

Mu Tianye became even more worried: "Do you still treat it as a small matter? The key is that you fought with King Rong's disciples again. I guess the son of King Rong should be in Taihua Building at that time."

Chang Yun had never heard of King Rong or his heir. Mu Tianye knew that he had never been in the capital, so he patiently explained: "His Highness King Rong is the younger brother of the current emperor. You just offended the Liu family and then went against King Rong They all know that you are the son of my father's old friend, and I'm probably counted in, and we both got into big trouble today."

Chang Yun thought for a moment, then smiled.

Mu Tianye was completely speechless: "Little brother, you can still laugh. If I let my father know tomorrow, I will definitely be punished, and maybe you will be punished as well. Fortunately, I didn't reveal your identity in Taihua Tower, and in addition With your father's status as the Governor of Xiji State, our troubles are absolutely endless."

Chang Yun said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, it's okay, your father won't punish us for this matter, maybe he will praise us, we did the most correct thing."

Mu Tianye has been hanging around with Mu Qing for a long time, and after hearing too many conspiracies and tricks, he instantly figured out the powerful relationship among them.

The nephew of the master of the Yuan Pavilion had a quarrel with the son of the head of the Armed Forces Academy and the prince's followers. The happiest thing is that the emperor would want his subjects to be monolithic. It is very taboo for these officials to have a big tail. , Let’s unite with sincerity again, His Majesty the Emperor will not be able to sleep in the middle of the night.

Chang Yun shouted at the peddler: "Boss, another bowl of mutton soup and two mustard cakes."

Back at the Earl's Mansion, it was Haishi, lying in the guest room, Chang Yun suffered from insomnia for the first time, staring at the dark roof in a daze.

This wonderful day is finally over.

On the second day, Mu Tianye knocked on Chang Yun's door early in the morning.

Chang Yun didn't sleep well at night, but was pulled up by Mu Tianye, and went to the dining room to have breakfast sleepily.

Although the breakfast in the Earl's Mansion is not fancy, it has all kinds of porridge and pastries. Mu Tianye apparently slept soundly last night and had a good appetite.

Chang Yun yawned and just stuffed a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake into his mouth when the housekeeper walked in and said to Chang Yun, "Master Chang, Master sent someone to pick you up."

Mu Tianye asked in surprise, "Is my father not at home?"

The butler replied: "Master went to the pavilion early in the morning, presumably he had business to see Mr. Chang."

Chang Yun asked suspiciously: "Gefu?"

Mu Tianye explained to him: "It's where Yuan Pavilion works."

Chang Yun was even more surprised: "Uncle Mu asked me to go to the pavilion early in the morning, why?"

"The master didn't say anything, you will know when you go."

Mu Tianye enviously said to Chang Yun: "Little brother, my father is really kind to you, I have never entered the gate of a pavilion in my life."

Chang Yun didn't speak after listening, got up and came to the gate of the mansion with the housekeeper.

Yesterday's swordsman in white was waiting for Chang Yun with a few guards.

Seeing Chang Yun, the swordsman in white said indifferently, "Get on the horse and follow me." A guard had already led a horse.

Chang Yun got on his horse and left with the swordsman in white.

Walking slowly on the streets of Kyoto, Chang Yun looked at the white-clothed swordsman leading the way in front, and at the guards behind him, feeling even more suspicious in his heart.

Because they have maintained a high level of vigilance, their weapons have never left their hands, and their cold eyes have been scanning every inch of land they pass.

What are they guarding against?
In Yuan Pavilion, in the conference hall, Mu Qing is listening to Que Xing's report.

In front of Que Xing was a lot of small pieces of paper from Fei Ge.

Que Xing sorted out his thoughts, and said: "This morning, my subordinates received another five pigeon letters. The chief of Gancheng has arrived at the scene. The battle situation was extremely tragic. A total of 510 corpses were found, including 97 of Chang Du's personal soldiers. There are 413 Wule wolf soldiers, it should be the battle that took place at You hour yesterday."

Mu Qing's face was frosty, and she asked, "Did you find Chang Du?"

Que Xing replied: "It hasn't been found yet, but Chang Du's weapons and identity documents have been found, and,"

Thinking of this, Que Xing couldn't help but sigh: "Moreover, Chang Du's identity document has been stained with blood, it should be his own blood."

Mu Qing also sighed: "Go on."

Que Xing knew what Mu Qing was thinking, and continued: "Sandstorms have occurred frequently in Gancheng these days, and the scene has been severely damaged. Although Chang Du's body was not found, it can be inferred that Chang Du was seriously injured in the fight. Encountering this sandstorm, the chance of surviving is extremely small. We have confirmed with the Qingying lords in Gancheng, Yecheng and other places that the wolf soldiers have left our Great Xia border."

Mu Qing's face was ashen. Yesterday he knew that the thieves would not let go of Chang Guangsheng who discovered their secret, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, and Ule wolf soldiers were actually involved.

In Daxia territory, it is really not easy to use dead soldiers to attack first, and then use Wule wolf soldiers to kill people.

There is no sunlight in the meeting hall all year round, and Mu Qing's figure blends into the darkness.

Que Xing did not speak, but quietly waited for Mu Qing's instructions.

Mu Qing suddenly thought of something, and said to Que Xing, "No."

Que Xing asked, "Pavilion Master?"

Mu Qing: "The number of corpses is wrong. There are 98 soldiers in Chang Guangsheng's body. Apart from him, there is another person whose corpse is not at the scene."

Que Xing couldn't believe it: "This?"

Mu Qing said firmly: "Tu Wei has been with them for a long time, and his eyes can't be wrong. Chang Guangsheng brought a total of 98 soldiers, and there is one person who is probably still alive."

Que Xing no longer expressed doubts. Tu Wei, the chief of the Qingying Division, relied on tracking for his survival skills, and his eyesight was comparable to that of a falcon.

"My subordinates immediately arrange for people to search for it."

Mu Qing asked again: "Has Chang Yun arrived?"

Que Xing said: "Xiu Ze has already taken him to Yuan Pavilion."

Mu Qing waved his hand, Que Xing knew what he meant, and immediately left the meeting room.

As soon as he entered the gate of Yuan Pavilion, Chang Yun immediately felt something unusual.

Not ordinary because it is too ordinary.

Yuan Pavilion is the largest intelligence agency in the world. Assassination, spying, and even subversion of small countries are commonplace for Yuan Pavilion, but Yuan Pavilion's office space is really too ordinary.Ordinary houses, ordinary guards, ordinary people of various colors coming in and out, there is no trace of conspiracy, viciousness, or mystery at all.

After all, Chang Yun was young, and he still fantasized that entering Yuan Pavilion would be all kinds of dead men, assassins, or at worst poisons that would frighten the enemy, but Yuan Pavilion gave Chang Yun a mediocre feeling.

Following the white-clothed swordsman named Xiu Ze walked through the triple courtyard, Chang Yun finally arrived at the meeting hall of Yuan Pavilion. Xiu Ze let Chang Yun enter alone, while he stood guard at the door.

Mu Qing was waiting for Chang Yun, and Chang Yun hurried forward to greet him.

Mu Qing asked kindly, "How was your rest yesterday?"

Seeing the half-smile in Mu Qing's eyes, Chang Yun understood, and hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Yesterday, my nephew was a bit aggressive, and even got into a fight with others."

Mu Qing knew that Chang Yun was not an ordinary dude, and he already knew what happened last night, so he said indifferently: "It's okay, if you hit me, hit me, as long as I don't hurt myself."

Hearing Mu Qing's tone, it's nothing if Chang Yun beat up the second son of the director of the Armed Forces Institute, and fought with the King Rong's disciples.

The owner of Yuan Pavilion is indeed not an ordinary person.

Mu Qingyun asked calmly: "That Duan Shikun, what do you think?"

Chang Yun knew what Mu Qing asked, and hurriedly said: "I heard that he is a master of the first rank of Huajing, and his swordsmanship is really good. It is a bit difficult for my nephew to deal with it later, but I don't know why he didn't kill me. "

Mu Qing didn't say anything, last night it was the killer of Yuange Fighting Division who secretly protected Chang Yun and warned Duan Shikun at a critical moment, but there was no need to tell Chang Yun all these things.

Mu Qing looked at Chang Yun, not knowing how to tell him about Chang Guangsheng.

Being stared at by the Pavilion Master of the Yuan Pavilion, Chang Yun couldn't calm down at all, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Mu, do you have something to tell me?"

Mu Qing sighed softly and said, "I have something, I hope you are mentally prepared."
