Chapter 198: Desert

In one thought, one step to the end of the world.

Jiang Mu had already arrived in a secluded yard somewhere in Lin'an.

There is a one-armed Taoist living in this yard, which is the Zi Yu Zhenren who came with Jiang Mu from the 100,000 mountains.

"See sir." Zi Yu Zhenren saluted.

Jiang Mu nodded and asked, "Real person, what's going on with me?"

"It has been found out." Zi Yu Zhenren said: "The death of Gu Fang, the son of Gu Xiao, the Marquis of Zhenguo, is indeed a bit tricky. It should be related to Gu Xiao's other son. However, because of Gu Xiao's intervention, Gu Fang's son Gu Feng survived by chance."

"However, although Gu Xiao is the owner of the Gu family, he has no choice but to develop the huge family. He can only turn a blind eye. Although he has protected Gu Feng, he still allows the boy named Gu Feng to be excluded from the Gu family's power center."

"Gu Feng is now married into the Li family in Langya, but it is not the Li family. The Li family itself was founded when Gu Jianshi was in the past. However, when people left, Gu Feng had already been under fire by his father-in-law, and Gu Feng's father-in-law seemed to have also participated in the attack on Gu Feng back then."

"So, Gu Feng probably doesn't have much time to live. As expected, the day when the Zhenguo Hou was exhausted is probably the day when Gu Feng disappeared."

Jiang Mu nodded slightly and said, "So, Gu Feng's life is really miserable. He lost his father and lost his backer at a young age. He was excluded from the family by his uncle, and was controlled by his father-in-law who had the revenge of killing his father. I'm afraid that this so-called marriage into his father-in-law was also done by his father-in-law to better undermine Gu Feng. It's not bad. Giving up a daughter and replacing a huge force will not lose."

Zi Yu Zhenren sighed and said, "It's a pity that Gu Fang was a personal figure back then, so his son was not good enough. He didn't know that he had recognized the thief as a father. He still stayed in the Li family as a son-in-law for so many years."

Jiang Mu shook his head and said, "That may not be necessary."

Zi Yu Zhenren said in confusion: "What do you mean by sir?"

"I'm not sure," Jiang Mu said: "But I don't think that boy named Gu Feng did anything wrong. He was young and was excluded in his family. If he didn't leave, let alone inherit the title, it would be good if he didn't die quietly."

"As for the fact that he recognizes the thief as his father, he has no choice at all. Entering the Li family openly can at least make the Li family seldom attack and dare not persecute him on the surface. He has lived for so many years. If he hides it, no one will know how he dies."

Zi Yu Zhenren said in surprise: "What sir means is that this kid is actually a ruthless man who sleeps on firewood and tastes gall?"

"I hope that's the case!"

…………

Jiang Mu left the capital and did not alarm too many people, but many people knew that Jiang Mu was going to leave soon. After all, the fact that he was going to study and preach was already spread.

The advance troops are almost here to Shandong.

but,

However, Jiang Mu did not go to Shandong as soon as possible, but rode a horse and slowly experienced the beautiful rivers and mountains.

I've been in this world for a long time.

Although he had a long journey, he was always busy. He had never seen the mountains and rivers of this other world well, nor had he ever had the chance to see it. Instead, he took this opportunity to experience the wonderful scenery.

Jiang Mu walked very slowly.

Basically, it's all about walking and walking,

He has enough time, and his first stop to study and preach is set in September, and there is still a long time left before now.

Along the way, he watched the sunset of the sea of ​​clouds and the rumored snow of the Thousand Mountains.

After walking through the Eighteen Valleys of Nanshan, the valleys are green.

Walking through layers of broken bluestone, you will reach the valley.

Walking down the stream of water, I saw a piece of yellow sand.

…………

July desert, yellow sand is everywhere,

The scorching sun seemed to be about to dry everything in the world. From a distance, this yellow sand was filled with thick heat waves.

A caravan is slowly walking in the desert.

Several camels pulled some goods and touched about a dozen people, all of whom were walking slowly on horseback.

Jiang Mu is in this caravan,

The sun is scorching in June and the wind and sand are abundant. Jiang Mu is covered with a facial scarf, his eyes are much brighter than before, and his white clothes have already become dusty.

"Brother Jiang, drink water!"

A young man with a bow and arrow and a dozen arrows beside Jiang Mu threw a cowhide kettle over and grinned. His white teeth formed a sharp contrast with his dark skin, which made him a little funny.

Jiang Mu took the kettle, took the towel, took a sip, and gave it to the boy.

The young man is named Gu Feng, and he is the young owner of this caravan. He is from Langya. He is said to be a son-in-law who married into the Li family in Langya. He is only about Double Ten, but he has been in the world for several years and is generous and generous.

When Jiang Mu met the caravan and asked to go with him, Gu Feng agreed without hesitation.

Along the way, he took great care of Jiang Mu.

"Brother Jiang, you said your skin is so weird. The sun is so big that it hasn't turned dark at all. It's not like me, like a nigger. I don't know if my wife can recognize me after I go home!" Gu Feng teased.

Jiang Mu smiled slightly, covered his face towel again, and said, "If you imitate me to wear a face towel, it will be less dark."

Gu Feng smiled and said, "Then forget it, it's too troublesome, by the way, Brother Jiang, I remember there is an inn not far ahead, so we can take a shower quickly."

Jiang Mu was slightly stunned and said, "There is an inn in this desert?"

"That's not," Gu Feng said: "The inn owner is also a smart person. He specializes in exclusive business in such places and does not need too many customers. As long as there is a customer, you can make a lot of money. After all, you can sell anything here at a high price!"

"That's true."

Those who can run this path are either caravans or gangsters. They are all people who are not short of money. If you do business here, even if you only open once every ten days and a half months, you can still get a good income.

Just as the two chatted,

Far away, an inn slowly appeared in the vast sandstorm, and a flag was waving in the dust.

"It's here, it's finally here!"

Gu Feng rushed over happily.

Jiang Mu frowned slightly at this moment.

Above the simple inn standing in the wind and sand, besides the yellow sand, there were wisps of black mist, appearing and disappearing, as if it was smoke, but it gathered faintly together, without moving with the wind, surrounded by mist.

Jiang Mu was a little puzzled.
