The thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, thousands of miles of snow drifting.

Tianshui City is like a flat boat, floating on the vast snowfield.

Mo Yan was eating hot pot in the city at the moment, the base was just shipped from the Song Kingdom a few days ago, and the pot was boiling unfrosted white radish and fresh consumable beef.

The origin of hot pot is the Song Kingdom in the south, but it is prevalent in the Tang Kingdom in the north, so in the matter of eating hot pot, the Tang people know how to eat it better than the Song people.

As an authentic Tang person, of course Mo Yan knows that eating hot pot has to be accompanied by wine, and he needs a small plate of spicy dipping, the spicier the better, but on his table, there is no wine, no hot sauce, only a bowl of white rice that is still steaming.

For a person who hasn't eaten a full meal for several days, nothing is as good as a bowl of white rice, and moreover, Mo Yan can't drink alcohol because of his body, let alone spicy.

The beef consumption in the pot has begun to whiten, and the white radish is also fluctuating, Mo Yan held the chopsticks, but did not eat it.

Because around him, there was a group of people in cold armor, and the expressions on their faces were as cold as the armor on their bodies.

No matter who it is, surrounded by so many people, it is impossible to eat with peace of mind, not to mention that these people are still holding knives in their hands, and their faces are full of murderous energy.

"I'm really not an enemy country's meticulous work, have you ever seen such a blatant meticulous work?" Mo Yan put down his chopsticks, looking a little helpless.

The leading general glanced at the hot pot that kept tumbling, and said indifferently: "Whether it's a fine work or not, just come with us to find out." ”

Mo Yan nodded, and also glanced at the hot pot, "Then can you let me finish this meal first?"

The man shook his head and said firmly, "No!"

Mo Yan had just grabbed the chopsticks, frowned when he heard this, put the chopsticks on the table again, turned his head to look at him, and asked, "What's your name?"

The man's answer was still simple and clear, "Jiang Xu." ”

Mo Yan got up, first took out the food money and put it on the table, then picked up the table and wrapped it in a black cloth with a long strip of objects. This move made all the armor soldiers involuntarily retreat, as if facing a great enemy.

Mo Yan put the long strip-like object on his back, and then sorted out some of the old black mink fur on his body, just as a cold wind blew, the cold through the bones made him cough violently without warning, because of the excessive force, the originally pale face finally had some blood, but the flush under the pale was even more frightening to look at.

After finally stopping the cough, he quickly took off the fist-sized gourd on his waist, took a sip, and his face slowly returned to normal.

After Mo Yan rehung the gourd, he said to the crowd who were facing the enemy: "Lead the way." ”

......

......

In the Governor's Mansion, a slightly bloated middle-aged man leaned back on a fluffy chair, holding a letter in his hand, and his two thick black eyebrows were tightly intertwined.

On the side, a beautiful maid held a cold tongs with her slender fingers, and was constantly adding charcoal to the stove, looking attentive and careful.

The young general, who called himself Jiang Xu, stood by the door, his head bowed, not daring to speak.

The man sitting on the recliner put down the letter and looked up at Jiang Xu, "You caught the person?"

Jiang Xuan nodded and said: "The last general received a report that this person had a strange appearance, so he went to check and found that he did have a problem, so he brought it back." ”

The middle-aged man slapped his heavy palm on the table with a "snap", and his bloated body stood up at once, shouting, "What's the problem?"

This action directly frightened the maid's delicate body, and the fire tongs in her hand smashed on the stove with a "pincer clatter", and the stove suddenly crackled, and countless sparks scurried around, filling half of the room at once.

The middle-aged man turned around, and the servant girl knelt on the ground with a "bang" in fright, and her whole body trembled.

The middle-aged man frowned and said coldly, "Get out!"

The maidservant hurriedly got up and left, and did not forget to give a blessing.

After the maidservant left, the middle-aged man fell back on the chair and pointed to the letter on the table, "Look for yourself." ”

Jiang Xuan frowned and stepped forward, tilted his head and looked at the letter seriously, and then his face was full of shock, and his eyes were full of disbelief, "My lord, this is ...... I didn't know he was—"

The middle-aged man interrupted: "I don't know, Jiang Xi, Jiang Xi, Lao Tzu worked hard, almost died on the battlefield several times, and finally got into the position of the captain, just because you don't know, if you say no, it will be gone, and you may even have to pay for your life." ”

Jiang Xi knelt directly on the ground, as if he had made up his mind, "Don't worry, my lord, one person will do things by one, and this matter will be borne by the last general, and it will never drag down the adult." ”

The middle-aged man was so angry that he grabbed the tongs on the ground and threw them directly at Jiang Xu, but instead of smashing on his body, he smashed on the ground next to him, "You bear a fart, can you afford it?" I really don't understand why my sister fell in love with such a good thing as you, and it is not enough to succeed and more than to lose." ”

The middle-aged man calmed down, raised his hand, motioned for Jiang Xi to stand up, and asked, "Where did you arrest him, who reported it, and what did he do that made you suspicious?"

Jiang Xi got up and replied: "Xianliju, the whistleblower is the shopkeeper of Xianliju, the reason is that this person's eating habits are not Tang people, because no Tang people don't drink alcohol or eat spicy food when they eat hot pot." ”

The middle-aged man frowned, "Don't drink alcohol or eat spicy?"

Jiang Xuan nodded and said: "There is no chili pepper in his pot, and there is no dipping plate on the table, he only eats and does not drink." Not right......"

"What's wrong?"

"It's not that he doesn't know how to drink, and on him, he brought a jug, and before he came, he took a sip. ”

The middle-aged man fell into thought again, and after a long time, he said, "Where are people now?"

Jiang Xuan replied: "In the Military Aircraft Pavilion, because the identity was not determined, it was not imprisoned. ”

The middle-aged man didn't speak again, and got up directly and walked towards the Military Machine Pavilion, Jiang Xu naturally could only follow.

Mo Yan is not in a very good mood now, he walked in the snowfield for a few days and nights, and finally arrived in Tianshui City, thinking that he could eat a full meal with peace of mind, but was inexplicably interrupted by a group of people, and was taken to such a cramped and small room for interrogation.

This kind of thing is not happy for anyone.

The main thing is that he has more important things to do, one more important thing than a full meal.

At this moment, a bloated man walked in, followed by the guy who brought him, his name, of course Mo Yan remembered, Jiang Xu.

Everyone got up and saluted the man, but the man pretended not to see it, with a smile on his face, his hands clenched into fists and kept shaking at Mo Yan, just like a kind Maitreya Buddha, "Sins and sins, the people under my hands are not sensible, and they have offended Mo Gongzi, and I hope that Mo Gongzi has a lot, don't be like these useless guys." ”

He then said: "By the way, the villain's name is Zhang Hengshan, and he is temporarily appointed as the captain, if the son has any requirements in Tianshui City in the future, just tell the villain, as long as he can, he will never postpone it! ”

As he spoke, he handed the refilled letter to Mo Yan with both hands.

Mo Yan first glanced at the fat middle-aged man, took the letter, and said, "Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, can I go?"

Zhang Hengshan nodded with a smile and said, "That's nature." ”

When he spoke, he looked at Jiang Xi on the side intentionally or unintentionally, secretly squeezed his eyebrows, and after a long time, Jiang Xi finally understood, and then stepped forward to apologize: "The villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, please forgive the son of Mo, he disturbed the son's meal before, and the villain asked someone to prepare a banquet and apologize to the son." ”

Mo Yan waved his hand and said, "No need." He paused, then added, "I'm not used to eating with strangers. ”

Jiang Xuan frowned, and Zhang Hengshan said with a smile: "Childe really went to the academy to practice?"

Mo Yan turned to look at him, frowned, and said, "What, does Lord Du Wei suspect that this letter is fake?"

Zhang Hengshan hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, just look at the prince has no true yuan, and the Boundless Academy is the holy place of cultivation in the entire Northern Desert, and the people who have been able to enter the academy over the years are all geniuses in cultivation." ”

Speaking of this, he smiled awkwardly and explained: "I don't mean anything else, I'm just worried that when Gongzi arrives at the academy, he will be embarrassed by those guys in the academy, although Gongzi has a letter from His Majesty, the guys in the academy may not buy it, after all, the academy does not belong to the Tang Kingdom." ”

Mo Yan said casually: "I didn't come to the academy to practice. ”

Zhang Hengshan was stunned: "That's ......"

Mo Yan's expression suddenly became a little depressed, and he said in a low voice: "Heal." ”

Hearing these two words, Zhang Hengshan was stunned at first, and then understood.

This Mo Gongzi, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he must be seriously ill, and he will not be cured for a long time.

Since he was able to get a letter from His Majesty the Emperor and prove that his identity was extraordinary, he must have invited all kinds of famous doctors, but the result was obvious, otherwise he would not have rushed from Yanjing to Tianshui City.

Boundless Academy not only has supernatural powerhouses, but also peerless famous doctors.

Zhang Hengshan's heart finally let go, don't care whether this Mo Gongzi is here to practice or to heal, as long as it is not sent from above to supervise the border army, it is easy to say.

After sending Mo Yan out of the Governor's Mansion, the smile on Zhang Hengshan's face disappeared instantly, his eyes narrowed into two lines, and he commanded Jiang Xi: "Monitor closely, if there is any situation, come back and report me immediately." ”

Jiang Xi nodded, and with a wave of his hand, a group of armor soldiers appeared in an instant, following Mo Yan.

Mo Yan, who left the Governor's Mansion, walked alone in the wind and snow.

The long street was empty, there were no chickens and dogs, and there was no sound, only the cold wind blew the signboards on both sides of the street, and the sound of squeaking and crunching was incessant.

He suddenly felt a little cold, a little lonely.

Although he was born in a famous family, he didn't seem to have any friends except for the little girl named Ah Li, because no one wanted to be friends with him.

He took off the flask from his waist, hesitated, hung it on his waist again, and then turned to look at the Governor's Mansion.

As dusk approached, the lights had begun to light up in front of the Governor's Mansion.

The reason why he refused to eat at the Governor's Mansion was not because he said when he refused, but because he didn't like the excitement of getting together, which only made him feel more lonely.

A burst of firecrackers suddenly sounded without warning, and then, like a chain reaction, the streets and alleys were filled with the sound of firecrackers one after another, and the entire Tianshui City was instantly filled with a cheerful and lively atmosphere, sweeping away the previous coldness.

After today, it is the New Year.

And whether you start anew or continue to wait for death, you will get the answer tomorrow when you arrive at Boundless Academy.

At the moment when Mo Yan lost his mind, an arrow flew through the smoke and flying snow through the smoke and snow, and flew towards the back of his head, so fast that it came in an instant......
