Chapter 289: Wind and Snow Chang'an
In an attic of the princess's mansion, Li Wan'er slowly woke up, and now she is used to this kind of life when she is married, put on her clothes, open the cold door, and come to the attic to boil water, ready to wash her face and rinse her mouth, and by the way, she will heat a hot dough cake and send some to Ji's mother.
She knew that Ji Xiao came back a few days ago, and only occasionally took a few photos, and learned from Ji's mother that Her Royal Highness the princess named Ji Xiao as the general of Zhenbei, and she saw the little lady, and learned that the little lady was going to send a big mansion to her as a dowry before the year.
Burning firewood, Li Wan'er has a complicated mood, for Ji Xiao and Cong Ben, she still likes his honest and honest appearance, but for the little lady, the original kindness is still there, but she can't serve her anymore.
The crackling of the firewood in the earthen stove blew away the chaotic thoughts in Li Wan'er's heart, and Li Wan'er, who came back to her senses, started a new day.
Put on his boots, walk into the snow, and walk towards the attic where Ji's mother was, carrying a freshly steamed dough cake and a box of freshly made salty toothpaste.
Knock knock, knocked on Ji's mother's door.
With a squeak, the door was opened by a simple-looking man, who was Ji Xiao.
When Li Wan'er saw that it was Ji Xiao, she couldn't help lowering her head, maintaining a dignified posture, and handing out the box in her hand, "This is breakfast for you and A-Niang, as well as this newly received box of sea salt toothpaste, I don't know if you like it or not." ”
"Sister Wan'er, come in, it's cold outside!" Ji Xiao took the thing, showed a simple smile, looked down at the ground, and then looked up innocently.
"No, you remember to put an extra pair of socks on A-Niang!"
Li Wan'er explained simply, and she was embarrassed to raise her head, so she left with a sense of joy.

In Chang'an City, the streets were covered with snow, and a man dressed as a chivalrous man walked into the Journey to the West Restaurant, chose a good position by the window, ordered a few dishes and a jar of spirits, put down the long sword in his hand, and sat down to eat wine and food.
It was snowing again, and the cold wind lifted the black cloth under the hat, and the guy who was still wearing the hat for dinner was a middle-aged man with a short beard, and there was an old scar on the left and right sides of his face.
Taking a sip of liquor and eating a few bites of stir-fried vegetables, the stranger looked out the window through the cracks in the black cloth from time to time, and determined that when the bad people who followed him were a little slack because of the cold weather, he flashed, left a bag of copper plates, left the restaurant, went in one direction, and went somewhere else.
On the third floor of the Journey to the West Restaurant, when Zhang Heng, who was leaning against the window and looking at the snow scene downstairs, happened to see the appearance of this stranger, and the nerves that were originally relaxed also tightened, as a bad handsome person in the rivers and lakes for a long time, he saw the murderous aura hidden by the other party at a simple glance, and when he noticed that his subordinates were slack, he knew that the other party should have taken the opportunity to slip away, that is, there was a problem.
Flipping through the window and hanging the eaves with one hand, and lightly leaning on the roof, Zhang Heng, who was standing in the cold wind and snow, soon found the figure running around the corner of the street.
Zhang Heng did not hesitate, and immediately rushed out, walking on the roof of the house like flying, occasionally stepping on some snow blocks, falling from the eaves, and spilling a piece of white powder.
The stranger seemed to sense that someone was following, so he quickened his pace, went around one wall after another, crossed the canal, tread through the water like a dragonfly, ran into an alley, rushed forward hundreds of ten steps, and then stepped back again, came to a mansion, pushed the door directly, quietly closed the door, and remained motionless.
Chasing this strange stranger, Zhang Heng found a few footprints on the surface of the canal, where the ice was broken and the snow was transparent.
Quickly stepped across the water surface of the canal, came to the shore, ran with the footprints, pulled out the steel knife on his waist, and the crossbow hidden in his arm was also secretly wound, but Zhang Heng soon found that the footprints were no trace outside thirty zhang, and searched around for a while, Zhang Heng could only leave and report the matter, a stranger, came to Chang'an, with unknown intentions, and deliberately avoided the pursuit of bad people.
On the stranger's side, he noticed that the stalker outside had left, turned around, and immediately saw an old man with gray hair.
"Pakoku senior!"
When the stranger saw the old man, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately bowed his hand to the salute.
"Liuying, you are so bold, you dare to lure the bad handsome to my door, what if you find out? Kill somebody to do away with a witness? Now Chang'an is the world of the princess who protects the country, and the princess's flying flower thieves, bad people, and generals whose strength is not weaker than yours in the slightest, what should I do? ”
The old man's eyes under his white eyebrows emitted a terrifying light, as if they were about to devour the reckless man in front of him.
"Senior Baigu, Liuying knew that he was wrong, but the quicksand was dead, and the alliance leader said that now is not the time for revenge, I can't wait, so I immediately came to Chang'an!"
Liuying took off his hat, and a vicissitudes of life scarred face outlined two fierce mangs, like a lone wolf foraging in the snowfield.
"You want to kill the princess?!"
Bai Gu's two long white eyebrows moved quickly, and he quickly shook his head calmly.
"No, although the Tenth Alliance is an organization of wicked people, it also has morality, stick to Chang'an and recover the lost territory, even the saint Li Longji can't do this kind of merit, and as far as I know, Quicksand also died because of the assassination of the princess, as an assassin, you should have such an awareness, you don't do unrighteous things again."
Shadow shrugged his shoulders and turned his head away, but in the end there was no response.
Bai Gu knew that the other party refused to give up, so he had to open his eyes and close one eye.
"You can stay here for a while, if you want to assassinate, then make the determination to die, and don't bother the old man and me, after all, everyone meets in the rivers and lakes, it can be regarded as a fate, not to mention Lao Tzu, I am afraid that there are no years to live, the old man has already died under the dark curtain, if the reverse scale wants to come to me, just say that they have already looked at each other in the rivers and lakes! Out of sight, out of mind! ”
Shadow clenched his fists and thanked him again.
A few days later, several Tibetan warriors pretending to be homeless people were sent to work in the black armor military camp, originally they thought that most of the refugees in Chang'an would suffer from cold and starvation in the snow, but after coming to Chang'an, the situation was completely different, the streets were very clean, as long as there were displaced people, they would be immediately helped, although they were only the pioneers of the path, they could not expose themselves, they could only act cautiously in the military camp.
In a few days, Wu Yueya was wandering around the east and west cities, Wan'er's marriage had been put on the agenda, and as Wan'er's friend and master, she felt like a big brother was heartbroken.
In the end, Wu Yueya decided to give Wan'er the tear star on her chest as a gift, and at the same time, she also discussed the issue of building a revolver and bullets in the blacksmith's workshop, and all she could do was give Wan'er the ability to protect herself in times of crisis.
Soon, the decoration of the Zhenbei General's Mansion was completed, and Zhang Lantern passed through the door first, which was also a wish of Ji Xiao.
