Wang Shouming leaned in the bathtub, gently closed his eyes, and relaxed the muscles of his whole body.

Only then did he completely relax.

Sprinkled a handful of hot water on his face, feeling the warm water slowly flowing down his forehead, Wang Shouming slowly exhaled.

On the side, Cen Zhaohou and his party were preparing to rush towards the Cold Moon Country.

Yesterday, he handed a letter to Ermuzhu, and Ermuzhu gave them more than a dozen secret guards with strong martial arts to protect them.

The Leng Yue Kingdom in Qingcheng is very far away, and several people rode horses day and night for seven days before they arrived.

Now that it is winter, Biansai is much colder than the capital, but it is still not as cold as this perennial snowy cold moon country.

The Cold Moon Country is a very small country, so small that it can only be regarded as a city at most, and it looks about the same size as the Falling City.

At a glance, the entire city is covered in silver, giving people a sense of cold distance.

When they arrived at the city gate, there was strangely no soldier guarding the city gate.

Jiang Yanyue explained: "This Cold Moon Country has never fought with other countries, because no country wants to expand its territory here. ”

A few people entered the city, which looked neat and clean, and from time to time there were children frolicking in the streets.

Yun Sha observed the people on the street: "The costumes of the people of this Cold Moon Country are also strange, everyone is wrapped from head to toe, and they all wear veils on their faces, and most of them are also wearing dark colors such as black. ”

Jiang Yanyue nodded and said, "It's cold here all year round, and if you don't do it well, your skin will freeze out, so you can only wrap your body tightly." ”

Several of them had to be dressed to be out of place on the street, and passers-by looked at them from time to time, but they did not come to inquire.

Cen Zhaohou said: "Let's find an inn to settle down in, and then ask others where this boundless valley is." ”

A few people walked into an inn-like house on the side of the road, this inn is also very small, there are not many people in it, and there is no Xiao Er in the store to clean up, it seems that only the shopkeeper is there.

Cen Zhaohou stepped forward and said to the shopkeeper, "Live in a hotel and open two rooms." ”

The shopkeeper looked at them strangely, and only after a while did he retract his gaze, and his tone was indifferent, "Two upstairs, please." ”

When a few people arrived in the room, they found that the room was really a little dilapidated, as if it had not been cleaned and rested for many years.

The shopkeeper led them into the room and said, "If you want to eat, go downstairs to me, and if you don't want to eat, you can rest in the room." ”

After finishing speaking, he was about to turn around and leave, but Cen Zhaohou stopped him, "Shopkeeper, we are from out of town, and we want to go to the Boundless Valley to find someone, do you know where the Boundless Valley is." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was shocked, "Looking for someone in the Boundless Valley? Jokes, where is there anyone in the Boundless Valley! ”

Yun Sha and the others looked at each other, and the shopkeeper continued, "Most of you have been tricked, but there will be no one in the Boundless Valley, if there is nothing to do, you should leave early." You don't look like you're from the Cold Moon Country. ”

Cen Zhaohou remained silent, but took out a silver ingot from his body and put it in the shopkeeper's hand, "Thank you shopkeeper, and please ask the shopkeeper to bring us a set of clothes from you." ”

The shopkeeper re-examined them, and found that although they looked a little haggard after a long time of hurrying, they still couldn't hide their nobility, so he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll do it, and a few guest officers can rest in the room." ”

After the few people returned to their rooms and washed up, the shopkeeper brought each of them a set of black clothes that they saw in the city, and after a few people changed into them, they looked no different from those people from the Cold Moon Country on the street.

Cen Zhaohou gave another bag of silver to the shopkeeper and asked him to tell them where the Boundless Valley was, and the shopkeeper told them according to his words.

It turned out that this boundless valley was in the westernmost part of the Cold Moon Country, where there was very little sunlight all year round, and it was the coldest place in the Cold Moon Country.

After a meeting, they decided to go to the Boundless Valley tomorrow.

At night, the climate in the Cold Moon Country is even colder

At night, they all slept in their own rooms.

Spruce suddenly felt that there seemed to be some movement on the ground, and when he sat up and looked at it, he found that the ground was densely packed with insects.

Yun Xuan was shocked, and hurriedly woke up Cen Zhaohou, who was also shocked when he woke up and saw the ground.

And those black bugs actually crawled into the bed as if they had a consciousness of their own.

Yun Sha hurriedly took out the anthelmintic medicine he was carrying and sprinkled it on those black insects, but found that those insects were unmoved by this medicine at all.

Then the door opened, and the shopkeeper looked at them with a sly smile.

Cen Zhaohou picked up the knife beside him and asked angrily, "What do you want to do?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled, "I don't embarrass you, as long as you take out your money, I will let these insects not bite you, otherwise if you are bitten by these insects, you will not be able to get out of this room tonight." ”

Cen Zhaohou sneered: "Do you think we will be afraid of you? ”

The shopkeeper continued: "A few nobles are nobles, so naturally they will not be afraid of my villain, but this insect is not long-eyed, as long as I give an order, these insects will bite the delicate skin of the nobleman, I am afraid that the nobleman will die at that time." ”

Yun Sha and Cen Zhaohou looked at each other, and Cen Zhaohou pretended to agree: "I promise you to give you all the money on me, but you have to take these worms back, and I will take my money again." ”

The shopkeeper smiled slightly, took out the flute on his body and blew it, and those insects receded like a tide and disappeared into the shadows of the room, Cen Zhaohou pretended to walk towards his package to get money, and suddenly pulled out a knife from behind his back and pressed it against the shopkeeper's neck.

But seeing that the shopkeeper's martial arts were actually good, like a loach, he broke free from Cen Zhaohou, and suddenly sneered, "Since a few people don't know how to lift, then I'm not welcome." ”

Suddenly, the flute played again.

Cen Zhaohou only felt a pain in the back of his neck, and it became difficult to breathe.

Yun Xue secretly said that it was not good, and the shopkeeper looked at him again, picked up the flute again, but suddenly fell to the ground weakly.

Jiang Yanyue walked out from behind the shopkeeper and said, "When I hear your movements, I know that something is wrong." ”

Jiang Yanyue fed the shopkeeper with ten full doses of the drug and threw him on the table downstairs.

and helped Yun Sha to help Cen Zhaohou to the bed.

Cen Zhaohou's face had turned blue at this time, Yun Sha sprinkled the medicine powder that lured Gu worms on Cen Zhaohou's wrist, and quickly sealed several veins on Cen Zhaohou's body, and then used a knife to cut a thin cut on Cen Zhaohou's hand, and saw a small bulge along the meridians on Cen Zhaohou's arm quickly leaning towards that opening, and in less than a while, the insect ran out from Cen Zhaohou's wrist.

Yun Sha fed Cen Zhaohou the antidote pill again, and Cen Zhaohou's face turned better, coughed twice, and opened his eyes.

He looked at him fiercely and said: "If I was careless, I didn't expect that the shopkeeper of such a small roadside inn would have such kung fu." ”

Jiang Yanyue's face was also gloomy, "The people of the Cold Moon Country have always been vicious, and it is not unusual to do such a thing, but if something like this happened tonight, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time." Why don't we set off at once and go to the Boundless Valley. ”

Cen Zhaohou agreed, and a few people quickly packed their things and prepared to go to the Boundless Valley.

In the palace in Beijing, Wang Shouming was closing his eyes in the bathtub to recuperate, and suddenly heard a thin sound outside, Wang Shouming narrowed his eyes slightly, quickly got up and put on his clothes, picked up the sword on the side, and climbed onto the beam of the house.

Wang Shouming looked down at the scene in the room from the beam of the house, and saw a man in a night suit sneaking into the room through the window.

The room was brightly lit, and the bath bucket behind the screen was still steaming, and the man lightly touched the back of the screen, picked up the dagger on his body, and quickly attacked the bath bucket, and suddenly the man in black found that something was wrong, and looked at it, and there was no one under the water vapor in the bath bucket.

The man in black was so frightened that he put away his dagger and was about to run by the window.

Wang Shouming jumped down from the beam, drew his sword, put it against the neck of the night walker, and said in a deep voice: "Who are you?" ”

The man stiffened and did not say a word.

Wang Shouming's face was gloomy, and he unveiled the mask on the person's face, and under the mask, it was Wang Yuan, who had not seen him since the last time.

Wang Shouming was shocked, and then furious, "Why are you not in the county under your jurisdiction, why did you come to the capital? Don't you know that it is a capital offense to return to Beijing without being communicated? ”

A trace of panic flashed in Wang Yuan's eyes, and he was a little surprised, Wang Shouming didn't ask him why he came to kill him today, but cared about his own safety.

Then he settled down again, pretending to be calm and said: "I naturally came to kill you, a rebel and thief!" ”

When Wang Shouming heard this, his expression that had always been well disguised was full of anger at this time.

He said: "I don't care who you listened to, what kind of brain is hot today, you want to come to the capital to kill me, you hurry up and go back to your jurisdiction for me now." ”

When Wang Yuan heard this, his expression was completely panicked. He grew up with Wang Shouming since he was a child, and Wang Shouming helped him with many things, and even rescued him when he was a child. But it is precisely because of this that Wang Shouming violated the agreement between them and went to seek refuge with the prime minister, so he was so angry.

He broke into the Zhuangyuan Mansion that day, and he was really angry that he would say such a thing to Wang Shouming. But when he arrived at the fiefdom, he found that everything in the fiefdom seemed to have been arranged, and it went very smoothly.

He wondered if this would be done by Wang Shouming, and was worried about whether Wang Shouming had any hardships in his heart. secretly returned to the capital, wanting to apologize to him for what he said last time, and then ask if he had something in his heart that he didn't tell him.

Who knew that when he returned to the capital, as soon as he settled down in the inn, he heard the whole house talking, Wang Shouming and the Qinglou woman's affair, he couldn't believe it, the sage book who had read the book of self-denial and revenge Wang Shouming would actually get mixed with a Qinglou woman.
