Chapters 26-26 Departure from Yichang
"Mu Tu, since the four constables praise you highly and Yichang is in the midst of all these troublesome matters, the headquarters specially assigned you to the Yichang Office to take over your duties." Head Constable Shui had just returned from a travel worn Yi Chang so he urgently summoned Mu Tu for a discussion.
"Huh?" Mu Tu looked at Head Constable Shui in a daze.
On the other hand, I have forgotten that your comprehension ability and memory are very strong. It's good enough for you to bring it. Xiong Zifeng indicated for Mu Tu to accept the good person's parchment, and patted Mu Tu's thin shoulder:
"Let's go, the two of us will go to Yichang together!" "I heard from the senior uncle in the sect that they were able to receive the order to capture those criminals in the martial arts world. That place is very profitable." When it came to silver, Xiong Zifeng's eyes flickered with a ghastly light, which was even more dazzling than the setting sun in the sky.
"Then should we go now? Do we need to go back to the city and pack up?" On the way, he greeted the Lord Jiang. I received the order from Head Constable Shui just now and came out in a hurry, so I haven't reported it to him yet. " Mu Tu blinked, her fists clenched tightly, as though she was cheering herself on.
Head Constable Shui had said before that he would be promoted to a higher rank if he went to Yi Chang this time. Moreover, he heard from the head manager of an inn in Ba Zhong County City that it would be much easier to go to Jinling from Yi Chang.
Xiong Zifeng lightly patted Mu Tu's head, "Little brother, you are still too young! From the moment you left County Governor Manor, my luggage must have been packed by my uncle. Let's go! This time, my brother will lead you on the right path. My uncle might have been waiting for you in Yellow Sand City. "
"Brother Zi Feng, are you sure? When I came in just now, I seemed to have accidentally messed with a few guiding stones!" Mu Tu chuckled and consciously took a step back. He seemed to be dodging Xiong Zifeng's surprise attack, but also seemed to be making way for him.
His big brother was good at everything, but he was a little bit lost in thought, especially when there was no light, which made his sense of direction especially poor. If Zi Yang Shan was not that tall, he probably wouldn't have dared to bring him to Wind Speaker that night!
"You're not being honest, you learned bad from my uncle. You first, you go first," Xiong Zifeng rolled his eyes, looked up at the sky, and gave a scornful squeal.
Mu Tu slowly walked in front of him. If Xiong Zifeng had used a fire piston to carefully examine the wet space inside the cave, he would have noticed the moist emotions at the corner of Mu Tu's eyes, as well as the deep red eyes that were filled with simple and deep emotions.
The Stepping Wind Ink Lion at the mouth of the cave was tied to a tree, standing leisurely at the side while gnawing on the ivy. In the short span of a few days, the Stepping Wind Ink Lion had become thinner. The fatty meat that it had raised in Guangyuan City was starved to bursting strength by the vicious exploiters.
The whip marks on its buttocks and the grey marks on its hooves clearly showed how inhumane of a slave it was subjected to within the Ba Zhong County.
It had only just returned to the world of freedom, leaving the place that it had nightmares about, when it began to frolic. However, as long as Mu Tu pulled the reins slightly, it would immediately extend its head and move to Mu Tu's side. Licking Mu Tu's palm, his tail continuously waved, raising a cloud of dust on the ground. It was as if he was using this kind of method to say things that Mu Tu couldn't understand and wouldn't go back.
Under the setting sun, at the edge of Yellow Sand City. The bright red color on the ground had long been washed clean. The willows and willows by the side of the stone road were like graceful beauties swaying in the wind with their alluring bodies.
County Governor Jiang and two bailiffs stood silently at the entrance of the Yellow Sand City. Leaning on the broken city gate covered with sword marks, he narrowed his eyes.
Behind him, a bailiff was holding a thick luggage in his hands. The westerly wind was blowing and it was unknown whose chest it was that had warmed.
"Zi Feng, you're here!" Here, I have prepared a travel bag for you, take it, "Seeing Xiong Zifeng running over, County Governor Jiang stretched out his hand and signaled for the bailiff to pass the bag to Xiong Zifeng.
Who would have thought that the person Xiong Zifeng responded to was actually a subconscious dodge, shrinking his neck back as he sized him up.
"En, come over," County Governor Jiang's eyes opened wide, and his beard trembled as if it had exploded.
Xiong Zifeng obeyed his fate and moved his head closer. Closing his eyes, he slightly gritted his teeth.
Unexpectedly, County Governor Jiang only sighed deeply, and rubbed his large head, "You're out, so you have to be careful. I know you're an intelligent person to begin with, but your temper is too stubborn, so you should listen to more of Mu Tu's opinions in the future. I gave you some money in this bag, so you should keep it to buy some food. "
His callused hands stroking his head, holding onto his hair painfully, Xiong Zifeng's eyes slowly turned red. "Uncle!"
"Take it, let's go. It's getting late. Uncle didn't have a mount so he bought a donkey for you from the farmhouse. Don't mind him." The yamen runners pulled a brown donkey out from the grass and gave the reins to Xiong Zifeng.
