Chapter 1420: No Such Thing as Too Many

    

in their eyes and quickly said, "Don't overthink it, what I want to say is good news."An Xuetang is now terrified, she can't bear the repeated hope followed by disappointment leading to despair.Now, w...Such a large river, with such a swift current, there should be only a few within the entire Tianba Kingdom.

With such a lead, they might have an easier time finding him.

She didn't ask for anything else, she only hoped they could safely bring back Mo Junyi.

That child had a hard life from the very beginning. When they were together, she really liked that child.

She really doesn't want anything bad to happen to him.

And she also knew that Yunsi's agreement to send out half of the Yun family army was a great concession.

Maybe he was really scared stiff by her sudden fainting.

Otherwise, given his temperament, he wouldn't disobey Mo Yunjing.

Now that arrangements have been made, she should be satisfied.

After tossing and turning all night, I looked out the window and saw that the sky was beginning to lighten.

She also knew that none of the people at her bedside that night had slept well.

So, after the matter was settled, he said, "Let's keep things this way for now. Everyone should get a good rest today."

"Yes."

As a physician, An Xuetang knew she needed to rest in bed for the next two days. Therefore, she did not do anything that would worry everyone.

She took the initiative to assign Ning'er the task of giving Fengming massages and acupuncture for the next two days.

Ning'er readily agreed.

After Yun Si left, An Xuetang also sent Kang'er back to Fengming’s room. Ning'er and Shou'er rested in her room.

While Ning'er and Shou'er were fast asleep, she remained wide awake. Her hand beneath the covers rested gently on her burgeoning belly, her eyes vacant as she gazed at the ceiling.

At this moment, I don't know what Mo Yunjing is doing. Maybe he feels the same way as me, longing to see each other.

Three months had already passed half a month, and for the days to come, she didn't know if she could hold on.

It's really not a good feeling to be alone at home waiting for your husband to return.

I used to be comfortable being alone, but I don't know when it started, I've become so reliant on Mo Yunjing. My heart can't help but think, how wonderful it would be if he were by my side right now.

It's a pity that he isn't her only Mo Yun Jing.

Deep down, he couldn't bear to abandon the people of Tianba Kingdom.

But...she really wished she could see him right now.

......

And Mo Junyi and Yunwu, who were indeed cared about by An Xuetang and others, also encountered some trouble.

Time travel back several days.

Mo Junyi suspected that something on them had been tampered with, so he got up and went to a nearby river. They threw almost everything they could carry into the water.

All her clothes were washed and changed back on, for she didn't know where the enemy had tampered with them. Even the sachets of fragrance that An Xuetang had brought along were thrown by the riverbank.

This also caused the first batch of people sent by Yun Si to only find the riverbank.

But when they came to look for them, Mo Jun Yiyun and the others had already left. All that was left by the riverbank were the discarded garments.

The people from the Cloud Four Faction came with green snakes. These green snakes, specially trained, were guided by the scent emanating from the sachets.

Now they threw all the sachets from their bodies, and the green snake was completely clueless, not knowing where to look.

Thus, it was unknown that Mo Junyi and the others, after leaving the riverbank, hadn't gone very far at all.

They merely came to a village near the bottom and settled there.

This place is quite remote. After traveling for so long, they encountered all sorts of fighting and bloodshed along the way. Yun Wu knew that the young master was actually close to his limit.

So, the suggestion was made to settle in this village for a good night's rest.

When the villagers saw strangers, especially since Yunwu and his companions were carrying swords, they became afraid that something might happen. Seeing them, almost everyone ran home and locked their doors.

Only the village head had a bit more courage. He saw that Yun Wu and the others looked quite intimidating, but their clothes couldn't possibly belong to bandits.

He then bravely approached them, suppressing the fear in his heart. He walked up to Yunwu and the others, bowing respectfully and saying, "I wonder what brings distinguished guests to our humble village"

Yun Wu saw the anxiety and fear in the old man's eyes, so he bowed back, his voice as gentle as possible:

"Don't worry, old man. We mean you no harm. We are just passing through and there are no inns nearby, so we dared to enter your village in hopes of finding a place to spend the night."

"Having said that, he gestured for the elderly man to look at Mo Junyi behind him, and continued, 'Old sir, to be frank, this is my son.'"

“My young master has always lived a comfortable life and has never camped out in the wild before. However, we’ve been searching for quite some time but haven't found any inns nearby. In order to find a place for my young master to rest, we had no choice but to enter the village. If we cause any trouble to the villagers, I hope that the elder will help us explain afterwards and provide some compensation.”

Upon finishing his words, Yun Wu took out a silver note worth fifty taels and handed it to the old man.

After listening to Yunwu's explanation, the old man looked at Mo Junyi and then at the others. In his opinion, they didn't seem like vicious people.

So almost without a doubt, they believed what Yun Wu had said.

At this moment, after Yun Wu took out the silver notes, he stepped back two steps and waved his hand, "No, no, the old man cannot accept this."

Yun Wu smiled and, ignoring the old woman's objections, directly stuffed the silver note into her hand:

"There's no need for you to be so polite, elder. In fact, we have a little selfish request as well. We hope we can receive your help. If you refuse, I'll feel too embarrassed to ask further."

Money is something no one would dislike having more of.

Moreover, the villagers were already short of money. A grown man working odd jobs could hardly earn more than a dozen coins a day. Now, the elderly man suddenly had dozens of silver ingots in his hands, and his heart was pounding wildly.

Even if the money is eventually divided among every household in the village, there are only a dozen or so households in total, and each household could still receive a considerable amount of silver.

This way, every household will have a better life this year.

He is the village headman of this village, and naturally he hopes everyone's life will be better.

Then he looked at the silver note in his hand, and then at Mo Junyi's clothes. This material was unlike anything he had ever seen before. Perhaps this child's family was truly very wealthy.

In that case, fifty taels might not be a significant amount to them.

After a moment's hesitation, he finally nodded. "Very well then. The old man won't stand on ceremony with the young master, but since the old man has accepted this silver, he must ensure that your lords and ladies have a pleasant stay."

"Well then, the old man is the village head of this village. He built a few houses just last year, so they're the newest in the village. How about you all stay at the old man's place today"

Yun Wu subconsciously looked at Mo Junyi. After Mo Junyi nodded, he agreed to the village head, "Then I'll trouble you, Village Head, to make the arrangements."

"No trouble, no trouble, please follow this old man."

Yun Wu nodded slightly.

They were just there, nobody saw it. When the old man turned around, his eyes changed in an instant. There was no trace of kindness left in them anymore.let eyes glared fiercely at An Xuetang in front of him, "So you know everything, you knew we would make a move today, so you were prepared and waiting for us to jump into the trap!""No, no, no, you're...
