On the morning of the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, Song Mu got up early as usual. After washing up in the house, he took his books to the yard to read in the morning.
After reading in the morning, Song Mu also practiced the sword skills he had just learned several times.
This has long been Song Mu's daily project. Even when he came back smelling of alcohol yesterday, Song Mu didn't use it as an excuse to be lazy.
After practicing a set of sword skills taught by Master Shen, Song Mu immediately collected his things and went to the street to buy today's breakfast.
It's just different from before. Today's Song Mu is always looking around from the corner of his eyes.
Yesterday at the banquet, what Wen Chengyong and Song Mu said is still vivid in my mind.
He gave Song Mu a warning, saying that Song Mu would definitely be famous for his poetry in the city. This time he received a lot of praise, but he also completely exposed himself to the eyes of some people.
Who those people are is naturally self-evident.
Nowadays, Song Mu's head is worth five hundred taels of gold, and it is rumored that Song Mu holds the original works of poems handed down from ancient times, which is enough to make those who are interested covet it.
Although Song Mu was a little wary of this in the past, it was still smooth sailing, but what Wen Chengyong said to Song Mu yesterday was really too shocking.
Because just a few days ago, the Lin'an government office had arrested two degenerate literati. They were turned and taken to the government office. The officials found some things on them, some of which pointed to Song Mu.
Wen Chengyong may have already known that Song Mu had arrived in Lin'an City, but he did not expect that Song Mu would also appear at the Wenhui.
As for who sent those degenerate scholars here, it goes without saying that they were naturally the Qingtian Guards.
In this way, this situation also caused alarm bells to ring in Song Mu's heart. Unexpectedly, there were people following him in Lin'an City.
So today, Song Mu also became more aware of the surroundings, and even quietly used his telekinesis to explore the surroundings. However, he did not notice anything unusual, and immediately walked into the courtyard with breakfast.
Song Mu had just returned to the courtyard with breakfast. On the corner of the street not far away, two men who were sitting in front of a stall and finishing their bowls of noodle soup slapped a few coins on the table, then stood up and turned in.
An alley.
One of them stepped behind the other, and then whispered to the tall man walking in front.
"Boss, what should we do about this matter?"
"We have already killed several brothers. This matter is a bit unclear. It is not easy to do anything now."
The person who spoke was a fair-skinned man. At this moment, his brows were furrowed together, and the expression on his face was very embarrassing.
"That guy is hiding in the Shen residence now. He is a Hanlin literati. If we are even slightly exposed, we will be wiped out in an instant."
"The man following him also looked like he was hiding something. We should be more careful."
The fair-skinned man said this, and the attendant nodded immediately, but then thought of something.
"Boss, I heard from a brother that several degenerate scholars have been caught in the past few days, and I heard that they are also here to kill Song Mu."
The fair-faced man immediately gave him a sharp look and said in a cold voice,.
"Hmph, it's not up to us to speculate on this matter. We don't want to get involved in that damn thing. All we want is the five hundred taels of gold."
With that said, the two people quickly disappeared.
Song Mu never expected that besides the degenerate literati, there was another group of people in the city who wanted to do harm to him.
Song Mu, who returned to the room, had just put down his breakfast and poured a cup of hot tea for Tao Fengming, who had just finished washing.
"It's been a little cold in Lin'an these days. I wonder what it will be like on the road?"
Tao Fengming took the tea and suddenly said this. Song Mu was stunned for a moment, then he pursed his lips and asked.
"Master, are we ready to leave now?"
Tao Fengming took a bite of the steamed bun, drank it with hot tea, and nodded immediately.
"Well, I'm just in a hurry, but if we go from here, we'll take a boat to the north. I believe we'll reach Jinling soon."
"Jinling?"
When Song Mu heard this familiar place name, his brows suddenly raised, but he spoke with a somewhat surprised expression.
"Master, why are you in such a hurry to go to Jinling?"
Tao Fengming's face was calm. He looked at Song Mu and said with a smile.
"Go and meet some old friends, and you can also find someone to re-forge your Kawasawa."
When Song Mu heard this, he showed some hesitation on his face. It wasn't that Song Mu had any nostalgia for Lin'an City, but now that Tao Fengming's body continued to move up in the cold wind, Song Mu had more
Worry.
Tao Fengming seemed to have noticed Song Mu's worries and said with a smile.
"I know what you're worried about. It's nothing serious."
As he said that, Tao Fengming's expression became a little frustrated again, and he seemed to say a little slowly,
"It's just that if I don't catch up on some things, I will..."
After half a sentence, Tao Fengming was speechless. Song Mu also looked at him at this moment, the expression on his face was also a bit frustrated.
Song Mu naturally understood what Tao Fengming wanted to say, but now, he couldn't do anything more for Tao Fengming.
At that moment, Song Mu didn't think any more, he just nodded, sat down and said in a deep voice.
"Master, I got news from the Lin'an prefect yesterday. I heard that someone has been following us. I think the rest of the way..."
Tao Fengming glanced at Song Mu and said calmly.
"Everything in the world is unpredictable, and some things cannot be completely avoided by simply avoiding them."
"Besides, don't you have a little more experience now? I think it's time to practice your skills."
Song Mu immediately raised his head and nodded heavily after a moment.
…
Later that day, Song Mu packed up the two people's greetings and headed out of the city in a carriage.
Before they reached the city gate, they heard several shouts coming from behind. Song Mu stopped and turned around to look, and saw that it was the two brothers Dai Mingliang, followed by several scholars who were walking in a hurry.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! They stepped forward, Dai Mingliang first handed over to Song Mu.
"Why does Jie Yuan have to leave the city? The New Year is approaching. I thought Mr. Jie Yuanhe would celebrate the New Year in the city."
Saying this, Dai Mingde also stepped forward, with a bit of eagerness on his face at the moment.
"Is there something important, Mr. Xie Yuanhe? Several classmates and I also wanted to visit Mr. Xie Yuanhe and boldly ask some questions, but we didn't expect that it would be in such a hurry."
Saying this, several young people behind Dai Mingde also stepped forward and offered their hands to Song Mu and Tao Fengming, with their expressions twinkling.
Song Mu also hurriedly handed over his hand and explained that this was an arrangement that had been made for a long time and that he really couldn't stay any longer, which made several people look a little regretful.
At that moment, Dai Mingliang didn't say anything, but several servants of Dai's house appeared from nowhere, all carrying large and small baggage, and they were stuffed into Song Mu's car.
Song Mu quickly came up to stop him, but Dai Mingliang spoke with a solemn expression.
"Xie Yuan, please don't refuse. The journey will be cold. This is our intention, but it's really insignificant."
Dai Mingliang said this, and Dai Mingde next to him looked a little reluctant at the moment, and at this moment another figure came quickly from the city and landed next to Song Mu's carriage.
It is Shen Tiancai.
"Lan Xian, why are you leaving so suddenly?"
As Shen Tiancai said this, he immediately went to ask in the carriage. When the other people saw Master Shen arriving, their expressions suddenly became a little more serious.
After a while, Shen Tiancai also exited the carriage, turned to look at Song Mu, and said with a sigh of relief.
"Jing Zhao, take good care of your master. If anything happens, send a message."
Song Mu nodded. At this moment, Tao Fengming also urged Song Mu to set off. Several people then sent Song Mu and Song Mu outside the city. Song Mu also solemnly handed over to these people.
"Everyone, we will meet each other if we are destined."
In the cold wind of the winter moon, everyone looked at each other and cupped their hands to bid farewell to Song and Mu.
