In the wilderness, the snow was blowing and the heavens and the earth were blurred, and there was no direction.

The snow came without warning.

At first, there were only small particles of snow like salt, and the snow fell to the ground and disappeared quickly.

Slowly, the number of snow particles began to increase, and finally there were snow particles on the ground that had not had time to melt.

Eventually, the snow particles turned into goose feather snow, and the snow on the ground became thicker and thicker.

A slender figure walked alone in the snow, her steps were not slow, she walked step by step firmly, seemingly unaffected by the heavy snow at all.

A quarter of an hour later, the slender figure finally entered the county seat of Yangzhou before the city gate was closed.

Yangzhou County is a larger state and county than Qizhou County, but it is located in the northeast border of the Great Zhou Kingdom, the environment is harsh, not only the temperature is extremely low all year round, but it is often invaded by foreigners, the folk customs here are relatively strong, fights and brawls often occur, even if it is the city lord's mansion, it is not enough.

Qi Huan walked into an inn, and immediately Xiao Er greeted him enthusiastically: "Is the girl going to stay in the hotel?"

Qi Huan nodded, took out a piece of silver and put it on the counter: "An upper room!"

Suddenly, his hand paused, but his eyes fell on a list posted on the counter.

Xiao Er is a clever person, and when he saw Qi Huan looking at the list, he hurriedly explained: "This is the list of seeking medical treatment posted by the City Lord's Mansion, and it is posted in all the inns in Yangzhou County. ”

Qi Huan nodded, took the deposit slip handed over by the shopkeeper, and said, "Get me something to eat first!"

After saying that, he found a table in the hall on the first floor and sat down.

This inn not only operates a guest room business, but also a restaurant business, so there are many guests in the hall on the first floor, noisy and lively.

Qi Huan sat in her seat, closed her eyes and recuperated, and at the same time listened to the discussion of the guests, her cultivation at this time was easy to select the information she needed from the many discussions.

Soon, Qi Huan heard a table of guests talking about the list of medical treatment in the City Lord's Mansion, which was a table across the table from Qi Huan, and there were three people on the table, drinking a little wine, talking about the City Lord's affairs in a low voice.

"I'm looking at the Yang City Lord, it's just a matter of the past few days!"

"How did you say that? Didn't Zhang Bang seek medical treatment? I see that many famous doctors have gone to the City Lord's Mansion, and so many famous doctors can't cure the City Lord's illness?"

"Hehe, you don't understand this, the city lord is not a disease at all, it is a curse, how can ordinary famous doctors and miracle doctors be cured well?"

"Curse, Brother Wanbang, tell us what's going on?"

"Well, hehe, if it's normal, even if you ask, I don't dare to say it, after all, this is about the city lord, but it seems that the city lord can't survive this catastrophe. So, even if he wants to settle accounts with me, then he has to have that life, right? In that case, I am not afraid, since you ask, then I will tell you. ”

"Say it quickly, say it quickly, I know what you kid knows, don't worry, we won't spread it!"

"And ...... this meal?"

"Oh, don't worry, I've invited you to this meal, Brother Wanbang, if your son-in-law becomes the city lord of Yangzhou County in the future, my brother still needs your care!"

The man named Wanbang raised his chin proudly, and said pretending to be reserved: "Okay, since my brother is so sincere, then I, Wanbang, will tell you." Let me ask you, do you know who the former city lord of this Yangzhou County was?"

"Ha, isn't this city lord hereditary? the previous city lord is naturally the father of the current city lord!" said one of them.

"No, you're wrong about this, my family has lived in this Yangzhou County for several generations, and I am the old man of this Yangzhou County, this Yangzhou County, the previous city lord was called Yang He, but it was not the father of the current city lord Yang Gang, but his father-in-law!" the other retorted.

"What......? Isn't this a ......" The man's eyes flashed, and he looked at Wan Bang in shock, and the rest of the words did not come out.

Wan Bang raised his chin and said with a smug expression: "What can't be said about this? That's right, the current city lord is the son-in-law of the old city lord before, just like our son-in-law." Now you know why I'm so sure that our son-in-law will become the next city lord, right?

The other two exchanged glances and nodded.

They can talk about the current city lord, and that's because the current city lord is already dying, and they don't have to worry about their own retaliation. But the next city lord is not something that they can discuss casually, especially in front of the next city lord's henchmen and servants.

Wan Bang could see at a glance what the two were thinking, he smiled proudly, and continued, "Then do you know the identity of the current city lord's wife?"

"This ...... Since the city lord is the son-in-law of the previous city lord, then the city lord's wife is naturally the daughter of the previous city lord, what else is there to guess? Can you tell us what happened to the city lord's curse?"

Wan Bang sneered coldly and said with a smile: "You are wrong about this, the current city lord's wife is not the daughter of the previous city lord!"

"What?" At this moment, not only the two people at the same table were shocked, but even Qi Huan couldn't help frowning.

Wan Bang smiled proudly, and then said: "The current city lord's wife's surname is Lan Mingying, and she is the cousin of the city lord Yang Gang's childhood sweetheart......

"This ...... What about the daughter of the first city lord?"

Wan Bang sneered: "Brother, what you are asking is not up to the standard enough, do you still need me to say such an obvious thing?"

"Hehe, too, since Yang Gang has already married his childhood sweetheart's cousin, then the daughter of the former city lord is naturally dead, maybe she was killed by Yang Gang!"

The person who spoke showed a look of disgruntle, obviously very displeased with the current city lord, so he didn't even bother to call the city lord, and directly called him Yang Gang.

In fact, don't say it's someone else, it's Qi Huan, after hearing this, he also feels that this Yang Gang's heart is not right, and he will do whatever it takes to seize the position of the city lord. First, he entered the city lord's mansion, and after the death of the first city lord, he succeeded as the city lord of Yangzhou County.

If it is really as the person named Wanbang said, then it is very likely that the daughter of the first city lord was killed by Yang Gang, and maybe the first city lord was killed by Yang Gang.

Thinking like this, Qi Huan felt that such a person was actually not worth saving, and if he died, maybe he would be very happy!

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the nation say, "...... It is said that before the death of the daughter of the city lord, a curse was issued, and now the city lord Yang Gang is indeed as cursed by the daughter of the city lord at the beginning, what do you say is not a curse?"
