In the snowy land of the northern country, the cold winter is howling, and the goose feathers are snowing.

Two sturdy white horses ran against the wind and snow, and not far ahead, a city with endless boundaries in sight was in sight.

The walls were covered with snow and covered with a thick blanket. When he got closer, Shen Ming raised his eyes and found that on the forty-meter-high gatehouse, the two big characters "Jianshui" were vigorous and powerful.

"Whew! After a night of driving, I finally came back! The brown-haired and white-robed catcher quickly let out a hot breath and relaxed.

Passing through the gate of the castle tower, there is a street covered with thick snow, and there are shops and restaurants with ancient charm on the left and right. It seems that this northern country should be similar to the style of Huaxia, Yamato and other countries before Shen Ming crossed over.

"We can be considered to have escaped, but the head catcher and the other brothers don't know ......" On another white horse, the black-haired catcher sighed: "On this kind of day, there is no one to rush to the yamen, let's go eat something first." ”

"Yo, Xing Zhu, I haven't seen you for a while!" On the road, there are often passers-by who greet the brown-haired catcher, and he also responds with a smile.

I walked around the wide street and came to this alley, and in front of me was a wooden building. Inside the door, diners dressed in cotton clothes are sitting around the iron kang. Behind the iron kang is a plainly dressed man, who is using chopsticks to turn over the ingredients on the iron kang grill.

"Tsk, Xing Zhu, you haven't been here for a long time!" The guy greeted with a smile when he saw that the brown-haired hair was catching fast.

Shen Ming followed Xing Yu into the store and sat down and said, "You are in this Jianshui City, but you are very popular." ”

Xing Zhukuai smiled and waved his hand, but the black-haired Zhukuai next to him scolded with a smile: "He is just modest!" He is a master who has awakened the martial spirit, and it stands to reason that if he works hard, he is about to be a catcher, but because of his straightforward temper, he has always been a catcher. But because of this, he has helped a lot of people, so he is so popular. ”

"Hey! Where's that? If you don't awaken the martial spirit, it's not the same! Could it be that if I awaken the martial spirit, I will be one level higher than you? Xing Zhuai glared at the black-haired Zhuhai and provoked: "That scream, Grandpa Xing, come and listen!" ”

"Fuck off!" The black-haired catcher quickly scolded, and said to the guy with a grin: "Roast a hundred tofu!" ”

The man skillfully turned out a handful of baskets from under the fire, and in this round-edged square flat bamboo basket made of bamboo strips, small round tofu about the size of an inch was neatly stacked. The white and tender little tofu was dumped on the grill by the guys, and stacked neatly with chopsticks.

"Although it is not as good as Shiping's pulp tofu, our Jianshui roasted tofu is also a must, and with a little wine, one person can eat dozens of them." The black-haired catcher quickly prepared the dipping channel on his own.

Shen Ming acted very unfamiliar with everything, Xing Zhukuai did not doubt him, and enthusiastically presented Shen Ming with a plate of garlic oil and chili pepper dipped in water and said, "This is all eaten while roasting, try it!" ”

The tofu was baked quickly, Shen Ming picked up a piece of tofu and put it on a plate, wrapped it in a circle, and ate it in one bite. However, just when you first eat it, the garlic is fragrant, steaming, and spicy, and you lose the taste after two chews. Xing Zhu smiled quickly: "It's not like that, you should eat a small bite and dip it!" ”

After knowing the correct way to eat, Shen Ming finally tasted the beauty of this special roasted tofu.

In the ice and snow, in the antique small wooden building, around the fiery kang, drinking a little wine, and then eating every bite of this baked tofu with a burnt skin on the outside, soft and tender on the inside, and a spicy garlic flavor, made Shen Ming feel very refreshed.

After eating for a while, Shen Ming thought of his business.

"Have you ever seen a beautiful woman with blonde hair and a silver sword?" Shen Ming thought, the two of them are fast and running around, if Lily's family is here, they should know, "She is very strong, and she has the strength of a soul general!" ”

Xing Zhu quickly sighed hot, and after eating the hot tofu in his mouth, he replied affirmatively: "You're talking about Alice Phil Garva!" The Northern Swordsmen Association sent her from far away to serve as the head of the Jianshui Swordsmen Association. It's not a long time, just over half a year. ”

……

In Jianshui Dongcheng District, in front of a building that covers a large area, Shen Ming looked up at the hanging giant sword decoration at the top of the building.

"This is the Swordsman Guild." Shen Ming pondered: "There are many masters in it, and any ordinary swordsman who awakens the martial soul can defeat me...... It's a very difficult task! ”

"Stomp! Stompe! ”

There was a rush of horses' hooves, and a man in black galloped from a distance on horseback.

"Get out of the way!"

He scolded Shen Ming unceremoniously, and when he first arrived, Shen Ming had no choice but to avoid it.

When everyone came to the door of the Swordsman Association, they had to turn over and dismount, and they were generally in awe, not only because of the name of the Swordsman Association, but also because of the many strong people inside. But the man in black didn't care about it, and rode a horse all the way into the swordsman association.

"He's tired of living? How dare you be so domineering in our Swordsman Association! A swordsman who had been approached by the man in black shouted in a low voice of displeasure. Another swordsman beside him tugged at his cuffs and persuaded, "Don't talk too much! Don't you see the token on his waist? That's someone from the Northern Court! ”

"What about the people of the Northern Court? Lao Tzu is still a member of the Swordsman Association! Why is he so unscrupulous? ”

"That's no ordinary catcher and head catcher!" Persuade his people to scold: "Be quiet! That's a secret unit directly under the Lord of Jianshui City: the Soul Snatcher Sentinel! That's an existence that is higher than the status of the head catcher, if he is upset, he will immediately arrest you in prison, and you will not have a place to go! ”

The swordsman was taken aback: "The head catcher is at the level of a near-heaven soldier, and the Soul Snatcher Whistle has a higher status than the head catcher?" Good thing he didn't hear me! ”

"Alas, if only I had a Soul Snatcher Sentinel at this time." Shen Ming thought to himself, "How do I find Lily's room?" And if the eggs are not inside, how to sneak in is also a big problem! ”

When there were many thoughts in his heart, he couldn't find his head, and a man with a cold expression, wearing a long black trench coat and a long sword in his arms, walked out of the swordsman association.

"Luo!" Shen Ming shouted excitedly.

Luo was surprised when he saw Shen Ming, "Why are you ......?"

Shen Ming mysteriously walked up to Luo, put his hand on his shoulder and smiled: "You don't care how I came back, this time for your egg, I have suffered a lot!" ”

"I'm sorry!" Shen Ming's enthusiasm made Luo very uncomfortable.

Shen Ming asked bluntly: "The task was completed smoothly, right?" ”

Luo thought for a moment, how to say that Shen Ming was also in danger for his mission, so he replied, "It's not bad." After Garwa brought me back, he asked me to join the Swordsman Guild, and I had just finished the formalities. Now I'm about to return to my lodgings to get my eggs and then hand in my quest. ”

"Great!" Shen Ming didn't care about Luo's cold expression, he grinned and said with a smile: "I'll go with you to hand in the task!" ”

Luo's heart tightened: "No! ”

"Anyway, I'm also a fellow from the Great Voyage, so let's talk about the old days on the way!"

Luo's pupils shrank: "What, you are also from the Great Voyage World?" And, how do you know I'm from that world! ”

In the current timeline, Luffy has just gone to sea, and Luo is just a newcomer to the pirates with no name. Shen Ming's understanding of Luo made Luo feel as if he had been seen through, and he was very insecure!

"That's all I know." Shen Ming patted Luo's back: "Let's go!" ”

Luo glared at Shen Ming unconvinced, but unfortunately his curiosity to know Shen Ming's details was too strong, so he finally took Shen Ming with him......
