The trees were covered with snowflakes, and strings of ice edges hung from under the thick trunks like harps. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lu Sheng sat in the ox cart carriage, with a small charcoal stove in front of him, and the heat released by the stove coaxed the small space of the carriage to warm up.

He was dressed in a loose black robe, his hair was tied with a black ribbon, and a string of dark gold beads hung from his wrist.

The umbrella girl sat in front of him, holding a cup of hot milk tea in her hand and drinking it slowly.

This little guy is now in the state of Sakura, it should be said that for a long time recently, she has been in a state of Sakura Sakura's control of her body, and Hongfang Bai seems to have given up communication with Lu Sheng, and basically does not show up. If there is something, it is also conveyed through Sakura Sakura.

Lu Sheng picked up the milk tea, took a sip lightly, and then turned his head sideways to look out of the car window.

Through the curtains, you can see the snowflakes flying outside, falling diagonally. Wheels and human boots made a crisp clicking sound as they stepped into the snow.

"It's been five days since I left the Northlands. This snow disaster is still getting worse. Lu Sheng said lightly.

When he left the Central Plains this time, in addition to bringing the umbrella girl, he only brought Ning San and Xu Chui. These two henchmen are easy to handle, and it is convenient to command many things.

As for the rest, most of them were servants and guards, and the whole team consisted of a dozen people. Four cars, several horses, for the name of the number one master in the Northland, this pomp is already very small.

He planned not to inform Shangyang Jiuli and go out alone in the Central Plains first.

"In the end, how big is the gap between the Central Plains and the Northland?" Sakura, do you know?" Lu Sheng asked in a low voice.

Sakura took out a pen and paper, wrote and held it up.

"The Central Plains is the Great Lake, and the North is the Pond. Whether it is resources, or numbers, or masters, cities, etc., the gap is huge. ”

"So big?" Lu Sheng raised his eyebrows, "So, there are many masters and strong people?

Sakura shook her head slightly, but quickly erased it and wrote new words.

"But my sister is very strong, even in the Central Plains, compared to the nine families in the Central Plains, it is equivalent to a weaker heir to the head of the family.

However, the heritage of the nine families in the Central Plains is very strong and strong, and the head of the family is far from being the strongest, but only a manager. ”

"That's it....." Lu Sheng probably understood, his strength was stronger than the original Hongfang Bai, but it was not much stronger, and it was estimated that it was still in the category of the lower triple or the middle triple. The nine-fold grading of the snake level has a large span. The difference in strength between the upper, middle and lower levels is also huge.

It's hard to say what is stronger than the Hydra level.

"It seems that we have to hide it carefully...."Lu Sheng frowned slightly.

Clang... Clang.... Clang...

Suddenly, in the distant wind and snow, there was a faint sound of metal knocking.

Lu Sheng lifted the curtain and looked ahead. Through the snowstorm, you can faintly see a convoy parked on the right side of the road, and the people inside are carrying gongs and banging vigorously.

"What's going on?" asked Xu Fu from outside the car, and then a guard went to ask.

Ox carts grunted past the convoy.

The guard, who was soon inquiring, came back and whispered to Xu Chui Ningsan to report the situation. After Ning San learned about it, he got out of the car and came to the outside of the ox cart where Lu Sheng was.

"Childe, there is a convoy, which is also going to the Central Plains, and the wheel of the car is broken halfway, hoping to borrow our team to go to the nearest city together. They said that they were from Yincheng and were willing to pay for the journey. ”

"Oh?" Lu Sheng glanced at the team. A few horses pulled two carriages, and a dozen or so people around them carried burdens and weapons to protect several women and children holding umbrellas in the middle.

"Let them get on the vacant ox carts. "Lu Sheng went to the Central Plains this time, pretending to be a rich boy who went to study, and he was not worried about being seen through.

When he doesn't do it, Lu Sheng is actually quite gentle, and if he can help others without affecting himself, he is still quite happy.

"Thank you to the hosts. From afar, Lu Sheng saw a burly man in the convoy clasping his fist at him.

He nodded slightly, lowered the curtain, these chores were arranged by Xu Fu and Ning San, and with the strength of the two of them, it was more than enough to deal with them.

The convoy continued to move, and the team was merged into the Lusheng convoy, following behind without speed or slowness.

By midday, the wind and snow were much lighter, and puddles of various sizes could be seen on the ground, covered with a thin layer of ice. And no longer white snow.

The servants began to set up a bonfire, and the place they chose to camp was also behind a small hill near the edge of the forest, just to block the cold wind.

The two convoys were on the side of a lane in the middle of a large snowy forest in the ice and snow, making fires and cooking.

Lu Sheng got out of the car and sat by the bonfire, Xu Chui was responsible for patrolling outside, and Ning San was arranging chores.

The main figure in the convoy, a noblewoman, sat down with two girls, one older and one younger. The chief of the guard who was still following them was the burly man who hugged his fists before.

The lady has exquisite makeup, looks like she has not been married for a long time, she is only about thirty years old, she wears a lilac coat to wrap her whole body tightly, and her willow eyebrows, big eyes and small mouth, which is the most standard water town woman.

The two daughters she brought with her, the eldest was thirteen or fourteen years old, and the younger one was only seven or eight years old, both wrapped in snow-white coats, staring at Lu Sheng curiously.

The little girl was born in pink and jade, quite cute, and not afraid of life at all, and was held in front of her mother, quietly roasting on the fire to keep warm.

"Thank you Gongzi for your help, the little woman Zhang Rongshi happened to come out to worship the elders in the family, but she didn't expect the car wheel to break halfway, fortunately I met Gongzi passing by, otherwise in this wilderness, I don't know when I will meet people again. The lady thanked Lu Sheng gently and seriously.

"You're welcome, this road has always been safe, and it is a business road for special personnel to maintain law and order, and every once in a while a team will patrol by, even if you don't meet me, you will soon meet other people, and you still pay for it, you're welcome. Lu Sheng smiled.

Just as the broth on the fire was boiled, the servant hurriedly stepped forward to put the seasonings, dried green onions, soaked dried bamboo shoots, etc., and then took out the vegetable noodle cakes that had been prepared and cut them into small pieces and threw them in, and it became a large pot of delicious meat steamed buns.

Lu Sheng glanced at the meatloaf in the little girl's hand next to him. "You're welcome, a bowl together?" he invited with a smile.

It just so happened that these people were all from the Central Plains, and they might be able to learn some about the situation in the Central Plains from their mouths, although he also asked some information from the gangsters who had been to the Central Plains, but it was not comprehensive.

"Thank you, thank you. No, we've already used it...."Zhang Rongshi waved her hand again and again, but before she could finish speaking, the little girl had already taken a bowl of steamed buns, pinched the chopsticks and began to eat.

Seeing this, Zhang Rongshi was a little embarrassed, and could only sigh helplessly.

Speaking of which, the Zhang family she married is also a well-known gold-lettered signboard in Yincheng in terms of cloth art, with a big business, some of the family is in the office, and some of them are walking in the rivers and lakes, which can be regarded as flowering on all sides.

As a young grandmother, she was originally comfortable and carefree. It's just a recent incident that gave her a bit of a headache.

Zhang's cloth industry was suppressed by competitors in the outer city, fell into a bottleneck, and the family tried their best, and finally had to make up their minds on marriage.

For marriage, Zhang Rong's own marriage is such a product, she has long hated it, so in the name of worshiping her ancestors, she left home and took her eldest daughter to scatter her heart.

The eldest daughter Zhang Ruoning was born when she was a teenager, and now she is fourteen years old, born pure and beautiful, with a thin waist and round hips, and a faint charming appearance at a young age, with slender legs, closed without a slit.

Zhang Rong's faintly heard the rumors before, and knew that the eldest daughter Ruoning was favored by the elders in the family, and planned to use it as a key object of marriage to make friends and cooperate.

After knowing this, she immediately became interested in her daughter's marriage, and she must let her daughter set her own happiness before starting to implement the marriage at home. Avoid her re-walking her own tragedy.

So there was this trip to the Northland.

It's just that I didn't expect that Lu Sheng, who was returning from worship, actually had a problem with the wheel.

Sitting by the bonfire at this time, Zhang Rongshi looked at Lu Sheng carefully, this young man who looked gentle and handsome, seemed to be from an extraordinary background, looking at the convoy and the subordinates, they were quite imposing, not like ordinary people.

There was some temptation in her heart.

While his daughter was drinking broth, Zhang Rongshi pretended to ask casually: "I don't know if my son is going to the Central Plains this time, is he going to study or visit relatives? ”

"It's schooling. Lu Sheng replied calmly, "I don't know what the situation is in the Central Plains now? I'm going to Bailing City." ”

"Bailing City, that's a coincidence, the concubine's maiden family is from Bailing City, among the hundred cities in the Central Plains, Bailing City ranks tenth, should the son want to go to Bailing Academy to study?" Zhang Rongshi smiled.

"Exactly, but I don't know the place well, and I feel a little apprehensive in my heart. Lu Sheng smiled, "Why don't you give Madam a brief introduction to the situation of this White Bell City?"

"Absolutely. Zhang Rongshi gladly agreed.

The two of them got to know each other on the way to rest, and Lu Sheng probably knew what the situation of the ordinary city in the Central Plains was from Zhang Rong's family.

Unlike what he thought before, the Central Plains is extremely prosperous, such as Bailing City, which is similar to the city along the mountain, and there are many more prosperous giant cities in the rest.

The 100,000 Spirit Tiger Army of the Imperial Court suppressed the hundred cities, and the cities were also ruled by a very large family.

It's not the same as the Northlands at all. In the Central Plains, the family has its own spokesperson, and the power is extremely huge.

Lu Sheng easily inquired about the situation of the Shangyang family. In the eyes of mortals, the Shangyang family is also a member of the ancient family, but there is nothing special about it, it is similar to an ordinary business family.

Zhang Rongshi was also happy to have a good relationship with Lu Sheng, passing the time, and the two asked and answered like this, and soon a few days passed.

Turning over a large snowy forest, the forest slowly darkened, and the snow powder scattered like pieces of white cloth hung in the forest.

After a safe journey, the convoy finally arrived at the first pass, Rongxin Pass.

When he arrived here, Zhang Rongshi didn't need Lu Sheng's escort, found the Zhang family's shop here, spent money to hire a new ox cart, and left alone.

However, before leaving, she also left an address for Lu Sheng, which is considered a contact information, which can be contacted by letter.

Although he learned that Lu Sheng was married, Zhang Rongshi didn't seem to care, and completely regarded Lu Sheng as his daughter's preparatory object.

After separating from Zhang Rong's family, Lu Sheng passed through Rongxin Pass, and the road behind him was much more spacious and comfortable, and the speed was much faster.

It only took five days for the convoy to arrive at the destination of the trip, Bellbell City.

And the manpower arranged by Shangyang Jiuli has also been waiting here for a long time.
