Chapter 129 Inquiry
The silvery moonlight shone through the lush treetops and into the cave. At this moment, the cave was quiet, with only the occasional crackling sound of the burning firewood in the cave.
Mu Jin closed her eyes, frowned, and there was a fine layer of sweat on her forehead, as if she was going through an experience that made her anxious and panic.
Mu Jin was in a vast sea of sand, with sand flying all around her. Shouts and sounds of fighting filled her surroundings. The smell of blood was so pungent that she couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose.
Through the thick fog, she vaguely saw a group of Dongyue soldiers falling into a trap set by the Beiqi people not far away and being lured into an endless sea of sand.
The enemy general shouted loudly, provoking the soldiers of Dongyue. However, the general standing in front of the Dongyue soldiers held the sword tightly in his hand, with a calm face and firm eyes, and rushed towards the Beiqi people without fear.
But before the Dong Yue general could run, a sword and crossbow from the Beiqi people pierced his shoulder. The general instantly knelt on the sand, and the Beiqi people rushed forward and suppressed the group of Dong Yue soldiers.
At this time, a Kitazaki general walked towards the wounded Dong Yue general with a grim smile. He held a sharp spear in his hand, with the tip of the spear pointing at the Dong Yue general, as if he would fall at any time.
Suddenly, the fog in front of her eyes was blown away by the wind, and she was horrified to find that the general who was trapped and injured by Kitazaki and kneeling on the sand was actually her brother, Mu Yan.
"Brother~" Mu Jin shouted at Mu Yan, but Mu Yan did not look at Mu Jin.
Mu Jin called out anxiously again: "Mu Yan~"
As if hearing her crying, Mu Yan finally turned around and saw her.
Mu Yan shouted at her with fear in his eyes: "Ajin, go away~ go away!"
When Mu Yan saw Mu Jin, there was no surprise or happiness in his eyes, only despair and helplessness.
Mu Jin shouted Mu Yan's name and wanted to rush over to save him, but her feet seemed to be tripped by something, and no matter how she ran, she could not reach Mu Yan.
As Mu Jin ran, she saw Mu Yan looking at her with despair in his eyes, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not catch up with Mu Yan who was captured by the Beiqi people. In the end, she could only kneel in the yellow sand and cry bitterly.
"Ah Jin~ wake up! Ah Jin wake up~"
Mu Jin suddenly woke up from her dream. She opened her eyes suddenly and found herself still lying in the cave, her clothes soaked with sweat.
Next to her was Nangong Min, who was looking at her worriedly. Only then did Mu Jin realize that she had just been dreaming.
Mu Jin smiled at Nangong Min and said, "It's okay, I just had a nightmare."
After Mu Jin finished speaking, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. Although he looked calm on the surface, his heart was still beating rapidly. The dream just now was too real.
Mu Jin propped herself up and sat up. She looked around and found that it was already dawn.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm her mind.
Although she knew it was just a dream, in the dream, Mu Yan looked at her with desperate and helpless eyes. The situation in the dream was too real, causing her to feel difficult to calm down at this moment.
Nangong Min asked: "What kind of nightmare did you have? What scared you like this?"
Mu Jin shook his head: "Just now I dreamed that my brother was captured by Beiqi people, and I watched him being captured, but I was powerless to do anything."
Nangong Min grabbed Mu Jin's hand and smiled comfortingly: "General Xuanwei is brave and good at fighting, how could he be captured by the Beiqi people? It must be because Jin hasn't seen General Xuanwei for a long time and missed him."
Mu Jin also felt that his dream was a little ridiculous. After all, after Beiqi was defeated, a peace treaty was signed with the Kingdom of Dongyue. His father and elder brother only went to guard the border and there was no need to fight. How could something go wrong?
Thinking of this, Mu Jin felt much more at ease.
Nangong Min curved his lips and said to Mu Jin: "If you really miss General Mu and General Xuanwei so much, how about we go to the border first, meet them, and then go back to Nangong Divine Sect to deal with Nangong Ce's matter?"
Mu Jin looked at Nangong Min, thought for a while, and said, "Let's go to Nangong Divine Sect first. It will take at least a month to get to Yanmen Pass, and only ten days to get to Nangong Divine Sect. Now is not a wartime, and my father and eldest brother are at most worried about food. However, Zhao Yefan has helped solve the food problem, and I believe it will be delivered to my father in less than half a month."
Nangong Min said: "We will not be delayed for too long when we return to Nangong Divine Sect. I am the true successor to the Sect Master. When the time comes, the elders will appear in Nangong Divine Sect with me. Nangong Ce is not orthodox, so it will be easy to deal with him."
Mu Jin nodded. She opened Nangong Min's clothes and saw that the wound had healed very well. She couldn't help but feel a little relieved. It seemed that Nangong Min could go down the mountain with her tomorrow.
Mu Jin said, "I'll go out and find you something to eat later. I'm going down the mountain today to find out more about the situation in the town. If everything is ok, we'll leave tomorrow and make plans in the next town."
Mu Jin's descent from the mountain went smoothly. She passed by the woods where she and Nangong Min were attacked before, but the body of the man in black was nowhere to be seen in the woods. After a few days, it was certain that either someone saw him and reported him to the police and dragged him away, or he was taken away by the people sent by Su Yu.
Mu Jin walked for a long time and arrived at a small town called Yong'an Town. The town looked small but very lively.
Mu Jin, wearing a large hat, walked to a teahouse and sat down.
The waiter walked up to Mu Jin, bent over and said with a smile: "Sir, our store has Longjing, Meizhan, Lianxin, and Yueshangxiang. Which ones would you like?"
Mu Jin gave a piece of silver to the waiter and said, "Just bring a pot of Longjing tea and two plates of snacks from your store."
"Okay, customer, please wait a moment, it will be ready soon."
After a while, the waiter brought up a pot of Longjing tea, a plate of walnut cakes and a plate of yam cakes.
Mu Jin gave the waiter some more silver and asked the waiter about the situation.
"Waiter, what's new in this town recently?"
The waiter was very happy to get the silver and thanked Mu Jin repeatedly.
"You've asked the right person. Something big has happened in our town these past two days."
Mu Jin pretended to be confused and asked, "What's the matter?"
The waiter approached Mu Jin and whispered, "A few days ago, several outsiders were killed in Dongxi Village. The killer was so cruel that he killed everyone with his sword. It even alarmed the government."
"Do you know who killed him?"
The waiter replied, "I don't know that. I just know that the bodies of those people were taken away by the government, and not long after, they were taken away from the government office by a group of people."
Mu Jin thought for a while after hearing this, and then continued, "Is there anything else new?"
The waiter thought about it and said quickly, "There really is one."
Mu Jin asked: "What's the matter?"
