On the road from Baicun Town to Baiyuan City, there is white everywhere, and you can't see where the original road is, and you can't see where this road will lead specifically, and the thick snowdrifts cover everything, especially on this inaccessible road, there is not even a big cart pulling goods.

At this time, the sound of squeaky cars came from a distance, and a carriage came from the direction of Baicun Town, and there was basically only this carriage on the entire road.

Xie Mu sat in the carriage, exhaled, the white mist rose into the air, he rubbed his hands, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Pei, why are you here? There are fast and warm cars that don't sit, you have to take this slow and cold carriage, and fortunately, the master who drove is an old driver, otherwise this kind of road, it's strange not to get lost." ”

Pei Hanqing looked at Xie Mu and smiled slightly, "There are road signs on both sides of this road, as long as you look at the road carefully when driving, it is still easy to find the road." By the way, I recently heard that the academy is working on something called navigation, so that as long as you have it, you won't get lost anywhere. ”

Xie Mu nodded, "Well, I've heard of it too, but this is a relatively advanced technology, not something that ordinary people can access." He didn't open the noise barrier this time, so he still paid attention to proportionality when he spoke, because the master who drove the car was not his own person.

Pei Hanqing opened the thick door curtain, this master is an ordinary person, who has not undergone orthodox martial arts cultivation, but he has almost passed the primary threshold of martial arts. He smiled and said to the master: "Master, you said that if you really want to popularize that kind of technology, will it be more convenient for you?" ”

The old master was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Pei Hanqing to speak to him suddenly, he could only nod and say, "Uh-huh." ”

Pei Hanqing continued: "However, there is no such high-tech thing yet, so when driving, please ask the master to carefully look at the road on both sides, don't be distracted, driving, everyone's safety is the first." ”

The old master understood the meaning and smiled awkwardly, "Uh-huh." ”

Pei Hanqing lowered the door curtain, returned to the car, and said to Xie Mu with a smile: "I know that Brother Guan has a way to isolate the sound, but I don't have to think about it to know that this kind of amazing means must rely on some external force, and the consumption of my own internal qi is probably not small. ”

Xie Mu smiled slightly, "What Mr. said is true." Still, sir, you have not answered my question, why do you have to take a carriage?"

Pei Hanqing waved his hand, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you take the carriage or not, it has nothing to do with you, the key is Miss Su, she needs to take a carriage." Well, by the way, Miss Su, don't meditate all the time, it's okay to be idle, open the curtains and look outside, it's hard to take a carriage, and if you don't look at the scenery outside, you will lose a lot. ”

Xiao Ran nodded, lifted the curtain and looked outside, but there was a white expanse everywhere outside, and she couldn't see anything clearly, even if she couldn't understand the meaning of Pei Hanqing's words at this time.

Xie Mu and Xiao Ran glanced at each other, and then understood the meaning of her expression, and said: "Mr. Pei, don't sell Guanzi, what do you want us to do with you? Is it really just to experience the feeling of walking in the ice and snow in a carriage?"

Pei Hanqing sighed, "Look outside this window."

What did you think of?"

Xie Muyi frowned, "Ah? There is snow everywhere outside the window, what can you think of? Isn't it snow except snow?"

Xiao Ranxiu's eyebrows also furrowed, but she didn't answer, but pondered.

Pei Hanqing shook his head, he also looked out the window, the cold wind blew, and a few snowflakes also blew into the carriage, which fell on his face and turned into water, his cultivation was not high, but it was as if he didn't feel it, but those eyes looked farther away.

"Don't be in a hurry to answer, I don't want to know your answer, you better think about it slowly. Pei Hanqing's words floated into the ears of the two of them.

Xiao Ran felt the cold wind, although he was still thinking about it, but subconsciously touched Xie Mu's fingers, Xie Mu comprehended, and took out a cotton coat, he and Xiao Ran are both cultivators of the Enlightenment Realm, this temperature of minus seven or eight degrees, it doesn't matter if you wear short sleeves, these cotton clothes are prepared for colder weather.

Xiao Ran picked one up and draped it on Pei Hanqing's body, Xie Mu was about the same size as him, and the size was appropriate, Pei Hanqing was only wearing a single coat, and his cultivation was not high, it was impossible not to be cold, she finished this, sat back in the distance, and continued to think.

Pei Hanqing glanced back at Xiao Ran, lowered the curtains, tightened the cotton clothes on his body, and smiled at Xie Mu, "I really envy the two of you, it's not cold at all on such a cold day, alas, it's not bad that a person like me who only has acquired strength hasn't been frozen into an ice sculpture." ”

Xie Mu is not a fool, he is now trying to give Xiao Ran some space to perform, the old man of Qiqiao has handed him over for six years, and in those six years, Qiqiao and Qiqi are definitely not the focus. Instead, the focus of the professor is on history, politics, military affairs, strategy, planning, and so on.

And the old man knew very well that Xie Mu himself was not the material for learning these things, so he just let Xie Mu have a general understanding, so that he wouldn't become a fool if he didn't leave Fang Zhulin for six years.

Of course, the old man Qiqiao was the second-in-command of Zimeilin back then, and his wisdom and ability were far from being comparable to others, and the threshold for the fool he thought was also a bit high.

Xie Mu also sighed, "With such a cold weather, even Xiao Ran and I will naturally feel cold, not to mention mortals who don't even have the day after tomorrow, look at the master who is driving, he is wearing a thick cotton coat, and he is cold enough, fortunately, Baicun Town is not far from Baiyuan City, and it will arrive soon." ”

Pei Hanqing said: "Master, he can't help it, for the sake of livelihood, and the master is quite good, to have such layers of coats, proves that his life is still very good, in fact, outside the customs, old drivers like the master are valuable resources, because they are all living maps, with them, they will not get lost in the snow, so, they generally have jobs, and the income is not low." ”

The carriage drove forward slowly, and after walking for a long time, Xie Mu and Pei Hanqing chatted with each other, to be honest, the temperament of the two people is not very suitable, but the two of them have extremely extensive knowledge, so even if they chat for a few days and nights, it is impossible to have no topic.

"Oh, it turns out that Miao Jiang actually has a mutant insect that can produce harder than steel, which I have never heard of,

I didn't expect Brother Guan to have the opportunity to see such a strange thing. Pei Hanqing smiled, lowered his head and glanced at his watch, but it stopped abruptly, he opened the curtain again and looked out the window.

Xie Mu also opened the curtains, and at this time, outside the curtains, it was still white, but there were already traces of people, and cars drove by from time to time, but it was cold and snowy, and the cars didn't dare to drive too fast, so they could only reduce their speed and move forward, and each car still maintained a large distance between them.

Those who dare to drive outside in this kind of weather are basically very experienced drivers, so they know how to drive, and they all maintain their speed and move forward at a constant speed.

Xie Mu looked at the vehicles coming and going, and said curiously: "This Baiyuan City really doesn't look like an ordinary small city, and the vehicles that come and go have to pass through here." In this way, Bai Yuancheng should actually be a real transportation hub. ”

Pei Hanqing nodded, "Well, that's true, in the past, before the academy branch was officially established in Bai Yuan City, Bai Yuan City was the hub of transportation, and Bai Cun Town was just a small rural village. At that time, basically all the vehicles from the southwest had to be transferred and replenished in Baiyuan City. ”

"Academy Branch?" Xie Mu was stunned, "What does this have to do with the Academy Branch?"

Pei Hanqing said: "Brother Guan, you should know that the establishment of the college's branch outside the customs and the conditions that you have accepted. ”

Xie Mu nodded, "Well, I've heard a little, but those conditions are harmless, it is said that the location of the branch outside the customs is still chosen by the academy itself." ”

Pei Hanqing sighed, "The Guanwai branch of the academy is known as the most miserable branch of the academy, their number and strength are pitiful, and in order to restrict their development, the Yao family and the other two simply forcibly moved many transit supply stations out of Baiyuan City and into Baicun Town. ”

"If there is no money, there will be no people, no people, and the branch outside the customs can only decay day by day, I heard that they have communicated with the headquarters countless times, but it has not been effective, and I don't know what is going on with the two of you, so they came to this place, after all, the outside of the customs is not a good place for the college. ”

Although Xie Mu had heard of the tragic situation of the Guanwai Branch, he never imagined that it would come to such a point, where else did he have the grandeur and demeanor of the academy.

The carriage slowly entered Bai Yuan City, Bai Yuan City is not a big city in the strict sense, not even a city wall or anything, not to mention the rumored city protection array, so on the road, no one set up checkpoints, not even the law enforcement officers of the dragon group who stood guard, did not see one.

Pei Hanqing sighed again, "Alas, you two are in Baiyuan City, don't reveal your identity as students of the academy, the people in this city are extremely unfriendly to the students of the academy, and the common people here all think that it is the establishment of your academy branch that has led to the relocation of the hub and the outward migration of the economy." ”

"Look at the people on the road, you should have some other feelings. ”

Xie Mu looked at the people walking on the road, and didn't find anything, but after looking at it for a while, he frowned, "Hmm, how did this city become like this?"
