Wei Lai and the others left Ningxiao City for a full month.

Of course, Ning Xiao City is still the same Ning Xiao City, but it's just ......

It was already dark, there was light snow, and the streets that had been clean in the past were now covered with snow. Wei Lai secretly calculated the time, today should be the twenty-fourth day of the first month, according to the weather in Ningzhou, such a light snow can pile up such a thick layer on the street, then it has been a while and no one has cleaned it.

Wei Lai frowned, he was vaguely aware of some unusual change.

"Who!" Xiao Mu beside him suddenly let out an angry reprimand, one of his hands stretched out and opened his fingers towards the dim street corner.

Hearing a scream, a man in sackcloth involuntarily flew towards here, his neck was held by Xiao Mu's outstretched hand impartially, and his already somewhat thin figure was more like a chicken being lifted at the moment, slapping his limbs indiscriminately, but he couldn't escape Xiao Mu's confinement after all.

"Who is it? Why are you hiding in the shadows and sneaking around?" Xiao Mu's eyes narrowed and he asked in a deep voice.

The surrounding Ningzhou disciples also gathered their gazes towards him at that time, and their eyes were murderous.

"Ahem, ahem, the small ones are just...... It's just the groom of the Chengxi Dart Bureau, and he is ...... today when he has nothing to do Drinking in a wine shop, I came out to see a lively ...... The general misunderstood. The man said this, and there was a pleading look on his face.

The movement of everyone's return was so loud that some of the drinkers in the wine shops on both sides quickly recognized Wei Lai and the others, and after knowing that they were returning from the mountains and rivers, many people immediately gathered around.

When the man saw the people coming, he immediately shouted to the people around him: "Everyone, I have been drinking in a wine shop every day recently, and I was misunderstood by the general.

As soon as these words came out, a middle-aged man with an honest appearance in the crowd stepped forward quickly, and said to Xiao Mu: "General Xiao has indeed misunderstood, this guy often comes to my wine shop to drink these days, but he is just an ordinary drinker, and he works as a groom in a dart game in the west of the city on weekdays. These days, the business of the dart game is sluggish, and he has a lot more time to come. ”

Most of the honest men present are familiar to everyone, he is the shopkeeper of a wine shop, he is loyal, and he is quite prestigious in the hearts of the drinkers in Ning Xiao City.

It stands to reason that although Xiao Mu was born in a famous family, he is a decent person, and there have never been any bad rumors over the years, which is very different from his high-flying younger brother Xiao Meng. Since the misunderstanding has been clarified, with Xiao Mu's temperament, he should have stopped and let go, but who knew that Xiao Mu not only did not mean anything like this, but the hand holding the man's neck was a little heavier.

It was obvious that the man's face had become flushed, and he had difficulty breathing.

The surrounding people were shocked by the killing intent that Xiao Mu's body cleansed out, and they didn't dare to say more. But the drum beat in his heart, secretly wondering what weirdness was hidden in the mountain and river map, which could make General Xiao, who has always been kind to others, change his temperament.

At this time, I heard Xiao Muhan say: "Groom, there will be such a thick cocoon in the mouth of a groom?"

The man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then smiled bitterly and said earnestly: "The general is from a prominent background, so naturally he doesn't understand the sadness of us ordinary people. ”

"I have been driving horses all year round, holding the reins, and over time I will naturally grow calluses. If the general doesn't believe it, feel free to find a dart groom to take a look, and make sure that the calluses on his hands are only thicker than mine......"

The man's words provoked the people around him to nod their heads secretly, they are also ordinary people, they are running around for life all day long, and their biggest preference is to drink a pot of sake in the wine shop with three or five friends, and then talk about some irrelevant anecdotes. Recently, the people in Ningxiao City have been panicking, and the lives of the people are even more sad, and they are full of hope that Wei Lai and Xiao Mu can bring them some hope just like at the Han Star Conference, but they don't want the world to be as black as a crow, even Xiao Mu, who they respect the most on weekdays, is only living in the temple in the end, and does not know the suffering of the people.

Xiao Mu felt the change in the eyes of the people around him, but he didn't take it to heart, but stretched out his other hand.

"Xiao has lived in the camp since he was twelve years old, in the Ningzhou Sanxiao Army, the Zixiao Army is good at riding, Xiao Mu practices day and night, even now, as long as there is no major event, he has to ride a horse and kill for an hour every day, thinking that he leads by example. Xiao Mouxi held the reins in his left hand and the rain curtain in his right hand. The reins are soft, and the handle is rigid, and there are calluses in the palms of the hands all year round. ”

"But there is a difference between the cocoon of the reins and the cocoon of the hilt. I saw the calloused in your hand as very different from my hand holding the reins, but like my right hand holding the sword. I see that Your Excellency is not leading a horse, but a ...... Knife, right?" Xiao Mu said this, squinting his eyes and suddenly surging with murderous intent. The force in his hand was a little heavier again, and he lifted the man's figure high, and shouted violently, "Say! Who sent it!?"

The man's mind was shrewd, but he also understood that Xiao Mu was by no means an idle person, and the other party saw his flaws, and it would be useless to make up any lies. He was a little puffed, and simply let Xiao Mu pinch his neck, he did close his eyes and look like he was waiting to be killed, and there was no quibble anymore.

And when the surrounding people saw this, they also reacted one after another, this is not Xiao Mu's oppression of goodness, but this guy is really plotting against him. The shopkeeper in the crowd who argued for this person was even more faced

The color is ugly, lest I speak up for my self-righteousness, and in the end I will set myself on fire and implicate myself.

"Think I don't dare to kill?" Xiao Mu saw that the man was no longer speechless, and his face suddenly turned cold, and he whispered. As he said this, the strength in his hand increased again, but in just three or two breaths, the man's flushed face turned purple and blue at a speed visible to the naked eye......

Seeing that the man was really about to stop breathing at Xiao Mu's hand, but at this moment, a rush of footsteps in the direction of the end of the street accompanied by the sound of armor colliding suddenly sounded.

A large group of armor soldiers in white armor came quickly, and the middle-aged man at the head said loudly from a distance: "I have long heard that the eldest son of the Xiao family is a general, and he has the talent to amaze my Dayan, and he also has the style of a general who is not inferior to his father. ”

"When I saw it today, it was really good, and the majesty of killing people in this move is a skill that Meng someone can't learn no matter how much he learns!"

The man had a fierce appearance, a beard, and a knife mark on the left side of his face that pierced his cheek, and he was now coming to everyone with a cruel smile on his face.

"It's Cang Yuwei. Sun Daren, who was beside Wei Lai, recognized the armor on the group of armor soldiers at a glance. His father died at the hands of Cang Yuwei and Qiankun Gate, and Sun Daren hated these two to the core, so he naturally recognized each other at a glance.

Wei Lai nodded secretly, signaling him not to act rashly for the time being. Sun Daren also screwed it clearly, he glanced at those armor soldiers with indignation, but he still suppressed his anger and forced himself to withdraw his gaze.

Seeing the arrival of the main master, Xiao Mu didn't bother to use any more means on the guy in his hand. With a wave of his hand, he threw the guy's body in front of the bearded man, and then his face turned cold and asked, "Who is it?"

Behind the bearded man, the two armorers rushed out and lifted the dark saucer, which had fallen into a coma. And the beard also arched his hand towards Xiao Mu at that time, and said: "The last general, the deputy commander of the White Feather Army, the rank of Meng." ”

"General Meng, right?, Your Excellency sent a dark disc to wait for Xiao and the others outside this Hanxing Monument for so long, I don't think it was for us to catch the wind and wash the dust, right?" Xiao Mu said again, and the cold light in his eyes was even worse.

"General Xiao wants to catch the wind and wash the dust, but he can pay out of his own pocket to make a table of good wine and food for the general, but ......" Meng Wei said this, and turned his eyes over Xiao Mu and looked at the people behind him: "But this has to wait until the business is done." ”

And after saying this, Meng Rank seems to have lost his interest in being with Xiao Muxu again.

His face suddenly became fierce, and he shouted violently: "Cang Yuwei!"

"Yes!" the armor behind him echoed.

A cruel smile appeared on Meng Rank's face, and he said loudly again at that time: "General Bai Tongpao, Yu Xian, Gu Luo...... Wait for the seven thieves to take it!"

A large group of Cangyu guards responded and rushed out from behind Meng Rank, about to step forward......

Bai Tongpao, Yu Xian, and Gu Luo are all quite familiar with Wei Lai, and they are all a few of the children of Ningzhou who went to the mountains and rivers with them, and they are also standing behind them at this moment. As Meng Wei said this, Wei Lai, who thought that these Cang Yuwei were coming at him or Xiao Mulai, couldn't help but change his face and be a little surprised.

"Who dare!?" Seeing that those Cang Yu guards were about to step forward, Xiao Mu let out a loud shout, and the huge qi machine immediately swung away, and the Cang Yu guards were shocked by this momentum, and they all retreated in fear, not daring to step forward.

Meng Wei was not surprised by this, but just squinted his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Mu's body suddenly took a step forward, stomped his foot suddenly, the ground trembled slightly, and he asked sharply: "A rebel on the left, a rebel on the right, what is Meng Title, dare to take my Ningzhou people!"

"Under the order of Jin Buyun, the commander of Cangyu Wei, and the commander of Jin Buyun is under the emperor's order, Meng's title is naturally nothing compared to General Xiao, but General Xiao can not give Meng Mou's face, can't he even give His Majesty's face?"

Cang Yuwei acted ruthlessly, known as the imperial court eagle dog, this means of oppression, they naturally used it perfectly.

"Don't come to this fox and fake tiger drama with me, Xiao Mu can't give this face today, will General Meng release people or fight with me?" Xiao Mu's attitude was surprisingly tough, and he said sharply, and there was a faint murderous intent all over his body.

Just returned to Ningxiao City, not only Wei Lai, but Xiao Mu also noticed the strangeness in this Ningxiao City, the streets that had not been cleaned for a long time and the wine shops that were much cleaner before they arrived in Hai undoubtedly showed that something bad was brewing and fermenting in Ningxiao City during this period of their absence......

And this guy named Meng Title, planted a dark disc early and waited for them outside this Hanxing Monument, and as soon as they met, they wanted to take down several Ningzhou disciples who were traveling with them, and there must be something strange behind this. You must know that at the Hanxing Conference, he, Wei Lai and Ah Cheng fought hard to win nearly 200 seats for the children of Ningzhou, but on the day they went to Shanhetu, most of the children of Ningzhou were forced to choose to avoid the upcoming Jin family, that is, the Ning family and the Xu family, who were the same three major lords as the Xiao family in the past, chose to move the family. Most of the children of Ningzhou who were able to participate in this mountain and river map were under great pressure and determination before they could make the decision to stand on the same front as the Xiao family. Just for the sake of this trust, how could Xiao Mu let them go into danger.

Meng Wei probably didn't think of the tricks that had been tried and tested on others in the past

, fell on Xiao Mu's head but it didn't hurt, seeing that the other party seemed to be determined to keep those guys, Meng Wei's brows couldn't help frowning.

"After investigation, these seven people are suspected of forming a party for personal gain, and their clansmen are now all imprisoned in the prison of Ningxiao City, and I am ordered to take them back for trial. General Xiao wants to protect them, and Meng does not dare to clash with the general, but if these seven do not return to the prison with me, they will inevitably be recorded as a crime of absconding in fear of crime in Commander Jin, and it will be connected to the family, so it is no wonder that I did not remind you at that time. Meng Wei saw that it was hard and couldn't do it, so he changed his rhetoric again.

And as he expected, the faces of the Ningzhou disciples who were named by him changed when they heard this, and they couldn't help but let out an exclamation in their mouths: "What!?"

Xiao Mu, who had never expected this matter, also changed his expression, and the expression on his face suddenly became gloomy.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Meng Wei naturally had a happy face, he arched his hand towards Xiao Mu, and said: "In the lower position, I am humble and light, and my words are all here, listen to it or not, you make your own decisions." ”

After saying this, Meng Yu suddenly turned around, and he really led the mighty Cangyu Guards when he came, and he was about to leave.

"General Xiao ......" and the seven Ningzhou disciples who were named by Meng were very anxious, and they all looked at Xiao Mu and stopped talking.

"I'm afraid that this will be more than lucky, don't fall into the trap. Xiao Mu understood what these people were thinking, and couldn't help but say in a deep voice.

It's just that the truth in this world is always easy to say, but it is even more difficult to do. The brothers and parents of these Ningzhou children have all fallen into the hands of Jin Buyun, how can they sit on the sidelines with peace of mind? Not to mention what if they do not act according to the other party's wishes, and the other party turns to endanger their families?

Xiao Mu's brows were tightly locked, but he was unwilling to send everyone to the fire pit, and when he was hesitating, Wei Lai on the side suddenly stepped forward.

"Brother Xiao let them go. Wei Lai whispered.

Wei Lai, who had never spoken from beginning to end, gave such a proposal at this time, which couldn't help but make Xiao Mu stunned, he looked at the other party with some confusion, and secretly thought that Wei Lai's mind should not fail to see that this was the other party's bitter trick, so if he sent it to the door, it would be more difficult to come out again than to ascend to the sky. After all, his Cang Yuwei's means of making people confess their guilt and subjugation is to look at the northern realm, which is also second to none.

"Family is the most important thing, keep them, if their people have an accident, they will feel guilty for the rest of their lives. Let them protect their people, and we ......" Wei Lai, who said this, paused, raised his eyes to look at Xiao Mu, and his voice was lowered a little by him: "And we will protect them!"

......

"Ahh

Several Ningzhou's children were finally taken back to the prison by Meng Wei, Ah Cheng went to find Yuan Zhichun, wanting to see if there was any way to rescue those Ningzhou children, and Xiao Mu also returned to Xiao's house to find his father to find out what had happened in the days when they were not in Ningzhou. But obviously, although Yuan Zhichun did not deal with the Jin family, he had no possibility of making a move for Wei Lai and others, and if Xiao Baihe really had the ability to stop that Jin Buyun, he would not let those people from Ningzhou be taken to prison.

But in any case, for now, that's the best they can think of. Understand the situation of all parties before making a plan.

"The Governor's Office. Wei Lai replied without looking back, and his steps immediately became a little faster.

Of course, Sun Daren also understands the truth that this person's life is at stake, not to mention that his father died in the hands of those Cang Yuwei, and he can empathize with the plight of those Ningzhou children. Hearing this, he didn't say anything more, and quickly followed Wei Lai, with a look of anxiety on his face.

The two of them traveled very fast, and it took less than a quarter of an hour to arrive in front of the gate of the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, and what they saw along the way made Wei Lai's face more and more Ningzhou - in the past, it should have been a lively night market at this time, but at this moment the streets were few pedestrians, and in front of the gate of the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion was full of Cangyu guards in white armor.

When Wei Lai saw this scene, his face became even more ugly. He didn't think much of it, and simply stepped forward.

"The state pastor is important, don't enter the idlers!" and as soon as he approached, the armor of Cang Yuwei shouted loudly.

"I have something important to ask to see the state pastor!" Wei Lai frowned, and said in a low voice, with a faint evil aura surging all over his body, not only worried about the situation of those Ningzhou children, but also worried about Jiang Huanshui.

"The state pastor is in poor health and it is inconvenient to see visitors. But the soldier spoke sharply.

"Then I'm going to see it even more!" Wei Lai said in a cold voice when his eyes narrowed when he heard this. After saying this, his steps took another step, and he was about to break through when he saw the posture.

Sun Daren beside him was also unambiguous, his whole body sank, and there were four divine gates emerging, he looked at these Cang Yuwei with a cruel smile, as long as Wei Lai gave an order, he would not hesitate to take action, so as to clean up these villains who he wanted to cut with a thousand knives in his heart.

Those Cangyu guards also smelled an unusual smell from Wei Lai's posture, and the person at the head shouted: "Array." ”

The surrounding Cangyu guards moved in response, and in a blink of an eye, a war broke out in front of the state pastoral mansion, the armor soldiers in the front row drew their tiger swords, and the armor soldiers in the back row wound up their arrows, and a killing atmosphere swept away......
