Chapter 179 Beihan Xu Family
Chapter 179 Beihan Xu Family
Mu Nanyan thought about it and realized that she missed him, but there was no one in this world that she could miss. Jun Zhuoyuan could only be considered a concern in a certain sense. As a new-age woman, Mu Nanyan would not live by clinging to men, not to mention that she had the capital to do so.
"So there is."
Jun Zhuoyuan asked: "Then Yanyan misses her mother?"
Mu Nanyan shook her head and said, "I've never seen her. I've only heard others talk about her. It can't be said that I miss her." She was not lying. Even the original owner might not have missed Su Jinrou. After all, being alive was a luxury, so how could she have the time to miss her?
Jun Zhuoyuan lit incense on the tablet and stopped asking. He knew that Mu Nanyan’s failure to explain just now meant that she would not tell him. What was the point of asking every day? He did not like being deceived, especially by Mu Nanyan.
"Is Yanyan going out today?"
Mu Nanyan opened the package, which was full of small jades. Although they were not big, they were all of excellent quality. "No need for today. It's too late and too cold outside. It's been snowing all day, so it will be inconvenient."
This trip north was very fruitful for her. Since she couldn't go out in the next two days, Mu Nanyue planned to get up early tomorrow to go to the snow-capped mountains to collect herbs. She couldn't waste time.
Mu Nanyan put away the jade and prepared two tiger skin coats. "Get up early tomorrow and be ready. You don't have to go. Stay here and guard. I won't go to dangerous places. I'll just go up the mountain to collect herbs. Just let Wushuang follow me. You always have to keep someone by your side."
Jun Zhuoyuan looked at his legs and could only sigh. Yanyan still didn't believe he could do it. Never mind. He should at least give her some space. "Okay, I'll wait for you here. Go early and come back early. Don't let me worry."
"Okay." After saying that, Mu Nanyan turned off the lights. Jun Zhuoyuan covered her with a quilt before going to bed. It was particularly cold outside today, and they had just moved into a new inn, so they had to sleep with their clothes on. Mu Nanyan didn't care about it and still slept soundly.
The next morning, Mu Nanyan woke up before Jun Zhuoyuan even woke up. She took some dry food and led Wushuang into the mountain. Everything went smoothly at first, but the snow became thicker as the mountain went deeper. Mu Nanyan was afraid that the two would get separated, so she tied a red rope around her wrist, which was particularly eye-catching.
After walking for a long time, the two finally arrived at the edge of the cliff. Looking down from the top of the mountain, they saw nothing but white. They had no idea how deep it was below. There were two snow lotuses growing on the steep cliff. Mu Nanyan leaned down and saw a strange red lotus blooming halfway up the cliff. Mu Nanyan's eyes lit up, even though it was the first time for her to see a blood lotus.
A lotus flower has two functions, it is both mild and cool, which is rare in the world. It is far superior to others.
"Wushuang, you stay here and don't let anyone disturb me. Kill them directly if they come. You can't touch these flowers." Her body was originally cold, and she couldn't stand the chill of the snow lotus. Mu Nanyan brought her here just to make Jun Zhuoyuan feel at ease and to go through the motions.
Wushuang was very obedient, drew out his sword, and took five steps back, "Yes, Miss."
But she didn't expect that just after she agreed, Mu Nanyan jumped off the cliff in front of her! She was so scared that she immediately ran to the edge of the cliff. She was relieved to see that the person was still alive, but could anyone stand here?
Won't this fall? Wushuang was afraid that his voice would affect Mu Nanyan, so he quietly tiptoed back to his original position, ready to fight at any time. Mu Nanyan's place was too dangerous, and anyone who wanted to attack her would surely die.
Of course, these were all Wushuang's own thoughts. Even if she was on the cliff, no one could fight her, unless they used hidden weapons or Jun Zhuoyuan's leg was healed. She was not worried about the rest. First of all, few people who could come up had the strength to fight.
Mu Nanyan was hanging on a tree branch, her body swaying. She had no choice but to find a flying claw rope from the space, and swung it hard, letting the end of the rope pierce into the mountain. Mu Nanyan grabbed the rope and moved little by little, finally moving to the edge of the lace. Because it was too precious, Mu Nanyan did not dare to start directly. She went into the space to find the transplantation tools and came out. She carefully picked the blood lotus off and put it in the incubator. When she finished all this, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
As soon as Jun Zhuoyuan woke up, he knew that Yanyan had lit the love incense again last night, otherwise he would not have slept so well. Since he started treating his legs, he would fall asleep almost every night by smelling this incense.
Because Mu Nanyan was not at home, he was always thinking about all sorts of things when he was alone in the inn, so he decided to go out for a walk. He had been fighting for so many years and had never been to this capital city for a stroll. Today happened to be the day when he had time to buy some new things for Yanyan.
Jun Zhuoyuan walked around half of the capital city but couldn't find anything that satisfied him. If he remembered correctly, Beihan had a famous set of silver needles, which were said to be found in an ice cave. They were said to be a gift from the immortals, and the silver needles still emitted a cold air when they were taken out.
It would be best to give this to Yanyan. Let him think about where the silver needle is. It seems that he has heard someone say before that there is a mysterious family in Beihan Capital, which is considered a medical family of Beihan. This family neither serves the royal family nor treats the common people, and no one has ever seen their head.
"Yuan Yi, do you know the Northern Frost Silver Needle?"
Yuan Yi replied: "I have heard of the prince. It is said that he is worshipped by a big family. The silver needle was also dug out by their family. Even if the Beihan royal family wants to ask them to treat illnesses, they have to spend a lot of money. Some people can't even be hired if they pay money."
Jun Zhuoyuan fumbled around the rim of the cup, "Can you find it? Yanyan will definitely be interested in it."
"I'll go and find out right away." Yuan Yi and Yuan Si exchanged positions and left.
But they came back after a while. This family was no longer a secret in Beihan, but the people of Beihan did not dare to mention it outside. The news was still heard from a few homeless people. In order to repay them, Yuanyi gave them a lot of silver.
"Master, please make inquiries. This family is surnamed Xu and lives in the middle of the northern snow-capped mountains. Almost everyone in Beihan knows them. They are not as low-key as the rumors say. It is said that their mansion is very luxurious, perhaps even better than the Beihan Imperial Palace."
Beishan, isn't that where Yanyan went? "Let's go now." Because he didn't know the specific situation of the Xu family, Jun Zhuoyuan was a little worried about Mu Nanyan, in case she accidentally broke into the Xu family.
Mu Nanyan was standing on the cliff looking for the second blood lotus. After searching for a long time, she found nothing. Was it some strange law? Only one can grow on a mountain?
"Who! Who are you?"
Mu Nanyan heard voices under her feet, she looked down and saw a handsome guy, "Hello, handsome guy." There are not many people who can make her so polite, but she has to say that this guy is really handsome, with fair skin. Wow, it would be even better if he wore glasses, a real little puppy.
"Who are you? Why are you here? This is private property. How did you get up here?"
"Ah? It came down directly from above." Mu Nanyan pointed upwards.
"What! You jumped down from there! You're not dead!"
"What do you think? Or did you see a ghost?" Mu Nanyan continued with her work. Just as she was about to dig out the snow lotus, the man stopped her again, "Hey, this is the medicinal material of our Xu family, how dare you touch it!"
Xu Family? What is the Xu Family? "Oh." Mu Nanyan glanced at him and continued to dig. Finally, she dug out something. The finished product this time was pretty good, but it was a pity that there was no red one.
"Hey, stop it. Even the royal family doesn't dare to steal our Xu family's things. Give the things to me. If you go to our Xu Mansion and apologize now, I can spare your life."
Mu Nanyan put one hand on her waist and said, "Your eye saw me stealing again. I took it by myself. I have the ability to grow it on the mountain. I can get it by myself. It's naturally mine. I didn't go to your house to take it." Oh, it's really unfair. Can a mountain belong to the Xu family? Besides, these snow lotuses are obviously wild, without any traces of human intervention. It's obvious that they deliberately occupied the mountain. They really deserve to be beaten.
Mu Nanyan felt more and more unhappy, so she took action and caught him off guard. "Let's go, let me see what the Xu family is like. Are you so rampant? Let's go."
Mu Nanyan beat the man until he was bruised and swollen, put away the snow lotus, and dragged him up the cliff.
Wushuang had been paying attention to the situation below. When Mu Nanyan came up, he rushed over immediately. "Miss." Seeing the man in her hand, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. "Miss, are you injured? Who is this man?"
Mu Nanyan threw the man to the ground and said, "I don't know him. He said this mountain belongs to his family. I was so angry that I went to check it out. I didn't expect him to be so weak. I just punched him twice and he was like this."
