"Didn't they say that you can't kill within the Ten Mile Gallery?" Bai Yiyan looked at Mei Changqing as if listening to a story, and Mei Changqing warmed his hands with a stove in his hand.

"They don't kill people, they just beat them to cripple."

"Poof." Bai Yiyan laughed out loud all of a sudden.

"It doesn't matter." Bai Yiyan said, "I have never been to the northern country, and I have never seen such a big snow. It's hard to see such a view. ”

"The news is not clear, I'm worried about something happening in the capital." Mei Changqing said, obviously a little worried on his face.

Bai Yiyan looked at him, "What will happen to Da Liang?" Mei Changqing's appearance should be hiding something from her. King Bei Mo really didn't come to trouble Mei Changqing, if King Bei Mo didn't come, he would be considered safe in the north, but Mei Changqing obviously had a worried look on his face.

He recovered quickly, and after two days of clear snow, he was ready to go on his way. Mei Changqing bought horses. The horses in the north are relatively short and good at galloping in the snow, and the two of them stepped on the snow and left Jizhou City.

Jizhou City is about a few hundred miles away from the border of Daliang, and directly to the south is Baishui Pass. Baishui Pass has Liang General to guard it, and Mei Changqing has a brand, so he shouldn't stop him. If it is a good horse that travels thousands of miles a day, it can reach the territory of Daliang in one day, but the horses bought temporarily are naturally not as good as the specially domesticated BMW in Fuzhong, and the day is gone, and it only goes to a small city under Jizhou. This small city is more desolate than Linjiang, but there are only a few hundred people, few pedestrians, and there is only one inn in the whole city. The two of them each held a sword, which was very eye-catching. Xiao Er saw it and hurriedly greeted him. "Is the guest staying in the hotel? The small shop has a good wing, two people inside, please. "This city is desolate, and there are naturally a lot of empty houses, but the furnishings are old, as if they haven't been changed for a long time, Bai Yiyan couldn't help frowning.

"One would be fine." Mei Changqing said, Bai Yiyan was stunned for a moment, looked at Mei Changqing, Xiao Er looked clear, took them to the guest room, and then withdrew.

Bai Yiyan still looked incredulous, but Mei Changqing hung the sword on the head of the bed and looked at her playfully. "What? Yue'er is my fiancée. ”

"But, but." Is this still Mei Changqing? After changing into Yuan Zimo's skin, even his temperament has changed, and he doesn't look like a person frivolously. He walked over, Bai Yiyan took a few steps back, until he was behind the wall, Mei Changqing propped up with his hand, and restrained her in the crook of his arm, Bai Yiyan could smell the white sandalwood and the smell of wind and snow on his clothes.

"We've had people behind us all the time." Mei Changqing said in a very low voice that was enough for her to hear. "I don't know what the purpose is, I'm not at ease."

Although Bai Yiqian has deep internal strength, she has not yet learned how to perceive the wind and grass around her, and Mei Changqing can detect it, but she can't feel it.

"Who is following us?" Bai Yiyan was really scared. The king of Beimo said that he would not hurt them, and if he could not keep them, he would rebel, or the Lady of the Crane Bone noticed their whereabouts and sent someone to follow them.

Mei Changqing just shook his head, looking at Bai Yiyan, there was more haze in his eyes, "I don't know who it is, they seem to have known our route for a long time, and they have followed since they were in Jizhou." ”

In Jizhou, only the people of King Beimo are there, so the people who follow are the people sent by Pei Qingyun. Sure enough, a person with such a position of power is quite scheming, and having this opportunity to get rid of Mei Changqing is to get rid of a big enemy. What looks at her face, it's all.

"Where are those people?" Bai Yiyan asked softly.

"Listen carefully."

As soon as Mei Changqing said this, Bai Yiyan closed her eyes, with deep internal strength, her sense of hearing was much sharper, and she could hear the sound of crows flapping their wings in the yard, the sound of snow falling on the roof, and the sound of extremely light and stepping on tiles. The person who came must be a special assassin, good at concealing his whereabouts, Bai Yiyan opened his eyes. "The people of the King of North Mo."

Mei Changqing finally set foot in the northern kingdom and was injured, although Bai Yiyan did not have much contact with the king of Beimo, she was sure that the king of Beimo would definitely do such a thing.

There was a husband outside who beat the drum, and it was already the second watch, and it had been so long before I knew it. The crows had long since flown back to their nests, and only one or two of the night crows chirped. In such a quiet night, one or two noises are extremely harsh and very clear. The sound of someone stepping on the tiles, the sound of snow falling from the roof into the yard, and the sound of footsteps stopping directly above, Bai Yiyan held his breath, and there was the sound of whirring wind outside, blowing the clothes on the killer's body, and the sound of hunting.

Although Mei Changqing was lying next to her, Bai Yiyan had already seen him raise his hand and hold the hilt of the sword beside the bed, Bai Yiyan also held the sword, but after a long time, there was no other movement on the roof, only the whirring wind. Those assassins didn't make the next move, and Bai Yiyan felt that his hand holding the sword broke out in a cold sweat.

Mei Changqing got up in his cloak and walked to the window, the snow on the window lattice had already fallen, but there was no trace of moving, there was no sound on the roof, and it was silent as if the people above were dead. The silence was only a moment, and the wind blew again, and the faint sound of tiles could be heard, and then the muffled sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

The noise was so loud that most of the people in the inn woke up. There was only one inn in this small town, and there were many guests, and many of them were lit up at this time, and it became even more noisy. Bai Yiyan also turned over and walked to the window. Mei Changqing opened a small crack in the window. The snow in the yard has not yet melted, reflecting the pale moonlight, the things in the yard are clear and discerning, Xiao Er, who came out to check with a lamp, the guests who opened the window and scolded, and a man in black lying on the snow, lying prone on the ground, the snow around him melted. Seeing this, Xiao Er, who was carrying the lamp, threw the lamp in fright, and ran into the house with a roll. Call the shopkeeper out.

The killers on the roof before were all dead, a total of four, and in that short moment, they died silently at the hands of others. Bai Yiyan stood in front of the window and watched the corpse hang from the roof, and couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. Although these killers have not fought each other, Bai Yiyan can also be sure that they must be masters, but they died silently like this, and there was no sound of fighting, how terrifying the person who took their lives would be. Silently taking the lives of four people at the same time, either with poison or extremely high martial arts. Bai Yiyan would rather they be poisoned, but they shed so much blood, it was obviously caused by weapons, Bai Yiyan didn't dare to think about it. She listened intently to the movements of these people, and even the friction of the clothes could be heard clearly, and it was absolutely impossible to miss anything. Unless, the skills of the hands-on people are far above the Yanshan monks.

Looking at Mei Changqing, Mei Changqing also had a serious look on his face, and when he saw Bai Yiyan looking at him, he couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face. "I don't know what's going on, but if the person who shot just now is friend or foe, then we can't escape for our lives."

He rarely had such an expression, a look of despair because he was powerless. At least since Bai Yiyan knew him, he had always smiled, smiling like a fox, but at this moment, in front of such absolute strength, he couldn't laugh. Bai Yiyan was silent, she had the internal strength of Yanshan monks for decades, but in front of such a person, plus Mei Changqing, she didn't even have a chance to escape, it was not like a level that people could achieve.

Bai Yiyan reached out to hold his arm. "Don't think about it, if he was going to do something against us, he should have done it a long time ago, instead of helping us kill these killers. It's time for three shifts, let's sleep. ”

Mei Changqing reacted, reached out and squeezed Bai Yiyan's hand, with a wry smile on his face. "I'm fine. I just think that Master is already at the top level in the martial arts, whether it is internal strength, martial arts, or mental methods, no one in the rivers and lakes can match. But this person's level is on par with Master, and it is one level higher than Master. ”

The level of the Yanshan monk, Bai Yiyan knew, but the Yanshan monk was poisoned by the lovesick ash, and gave her a body of internal strength, I am afraid that it has been poisoned at this moment. This person is even better than Yun Zhiyao, I am afraid that no one in the entire Central Plains Martial Arts can match. May this person be a friend and not an enemy.

Even if you sleep, you can't sleep, except for this incident just now, there are dead people in the inn, and the noisy sound has been continuous, and it has been tossing for more than an hour before the sound is quieter.

"You still like to drink?" Bai Yiyan held his face, "I thought it was just that you didn't have anything to drink in the northern country, so you like to drink so much." ”

"Why do you think I don't like it?" Mei Changqing turned her head to look at her.

Bai Yiyan grabbed his hair, "This...... People say that the Crane Wanghou is a gentleman, Wen Qi is like jade, and the Liang scholars don't like to drink, so they all like to drink tea. I thought that most of the drinkers were northern barbarians, butchers in the market, but I just didn't think of it. ”

Mei Changqing smiled lightly, drank all the wine in the cup, and there was a little loneliness in her eyes. "Bright gentleman...... Scold. ”

"Are you alright?" Bai Yiyan looked at him, a little worried, Mei Changqing just didn't look over, Bai Yiyan almost thought that he had touched his heart, but after a while, he turned his head again, his face was no longer lonely, and he smiled gently and lightly as before, but it looked more distressing. "I'm fine, Yue'er. Hurry up and rest, tomorrow will not be peaceful. ”

Bai Yiyan nodded, she has always slept lightly, but today she slept very deeply, and when she opened her eyes, the sunlight had already shone through the window lattice and sprinkled on the ground. Mei Changqing was still sitting at the table, not knowing if he hadn't slept all night or had just gotten up. Bai Yiyan re-tied her hair, wet her face with a towel, and saw Mei Changqing hugging her with a cloth.

"You're ......"

"It's too conspicuous to go down with the deception." He said, put the wrapped sword on his back, and tied his hair. When I went downstairs, I saw that the downstairs was already full of people, and when they came down, there were no empty seats. Bai Yiyan really didn't know that there were so many people living in this small shop, and at this time, the official was hiding at the door and stopped everyone in the store.

The northern country will soon enter winter, when the heavy snow will close the road, it will be difficult to move an inch, and many business travelers will take this opportunity to go south. Although the northern Liang has been facing each other all the year round, it is forbidden to trade, although the Liang does not value merchants, but it gives them convenient passage, so many merchants are blocking the door to protest.

Mei Changqing found a vacant seat to sit down, this seat was leaning on the stairs, they were all blocked at the door, naturally empty, except for Bai Yiyan and them, there were a few people who were not blocked at the door, presumably not as anxious as these businessmen.

Xiao Er served steamed buns and side dishes for them, with an anxious look on his face but it was inconvenient to speak, Bai Yiyan saw it in his eyes.

"These businessmen, are they all going to Daliang?"

This small city is the only way to go to Baishui Pass, after Baishui Pass, you will arrive at Lanling in the territory of Daliang. This road is the only way for merchants who walk this road, and it is relatively peaceful, and it is not in vain to ask, and I also know that these are merchants who go to Daliang. The north is rich in mountain delicacies, mink, although the winter is not as cold as the north, but also need mink to keep warm, bring this part to the beam, you can make huge profits before the winter. And their preservation conditions are limited, those precious mountain treasures, if they are delayed for a long time, they will rot, so they can't afford to delay, most of them crowd at the door.

The guard of the gate was iron-faced and selfless, and he was not allowed to go out.

"Why do you think they are?" Someone at the other table asked. "The co-author is the innkeeper who wants to make a few more days of money? Blocking so many people here, Coke won't kill him. ”

The innkeeper was also anxious, but he couldn't help but go over to accompany the smiling face. "I don't hide it from you, I don't know how many people died in the small shop yesterday, and those people were not guests staying in the hotel, and the small ones also saw it, and those people still have the emblem under the hand of the regent. This has become a big thing, and the small ones don't dare to delay you, but after all, this is related to the prince. ”

Bai Yiyan guessed correctly, it was really Pei Qingyun, but he made such a big move, even the lowest level of officials and civilians knew what it meant.

"The Regent's people? Shopkeeper, you have to be a real person, you said that the regent is not good to stay in Yanjing, what do you send people to do in this small city. Besides, the people around King Bei Mo must not be top masters, how could they die in your small shop for nothing, don't talk nonsense. ”

"How dare the little one deceive people, what the little one says, is what the little one sees with his own eyes." The shopkeeper said again, and called Xiao Er, who was serving tea just now, to come over. "This kid saw the corpses of those people in the courtyard, and the blood was all over the ground, and he jumped down."

Bai Yiyan looked at Xiao Er, obviously looking extremely reluctant, and took a sip of water. Lowered his voice. "This shopkeeper is also a talent, and if someone dies in his store, he can still talk about these things like a storyteller."

Mei Changqing just smiled and motioned for Bai Yiyan to continue listening.

From the door came a slightly more ornate officer, who was obviously superior to the officer who had just guarded the door. Although the Great Liang generally called the Northern people barbarians, but in fact it was different from those who hunted on horseback on the grassland, on the contrary, the Northern Kingdom and the Great Liang were almost the same, whether it was the shape or policy, they were similar to the Great Liang, and the messengers walked into the lobby, and the merchants who blocked the door poured up. The man looked at the wolf, swept around the inn with a pair of eyes, and finally stopped at Bai Yiyan's table and walked over quickly.

They should have conducted an overnight autopsy to determine the identities of those men and the weapons that killed them.

This person walked over, glanced at Mei Changqing, and then turned to Bai Yiyan and the sword she had in her hand. "This young lady, but a northerner? Can there be a paperwork? ”

"I'm from Liang." Bai Yiyan raised his eyes and looked at him, "The northern kingdom has never allowed the Liang people to set foot in it, what does my lord mean by this?" ”

"I don't mean that, but miss, can you show me the sword in your hand." The man said, glancing at Mei Changqing again. "Naturally, this chivalrous sword can give me a look, and it is okay."

"I'm just staying at the inn, why would the adults find us?" Mei Changqing drank all the wine in the wine bowl in front of him and looked up at him. "In Xia Yuan Zimo, he is just a person from the rivers and lakes."

"Yesterday there was a fatal case in the inn, several people died, the wounds on their bodies were caused by sword wounds, this sword should be thin, slender, the user is brisk, skillful, and must have practiced for many years. I see that you have a lot of calluses on your hands, it should be made by practicing swords all year round, and please take a look at the sword. ”

What he said was the result of a post-mortem examination, and he did not know whether it was fatal or not, and there was not even a sound of fighting. The murder weapon was a sword, and the shape was very similar to that of Aoyue Frost, Bai Yiyan really wanted to know who the person who did it was.

"I'm just a Jianghu guest who came to the north from Daliang, why do you want to kill people? Don't slander the innocent. ”

"Whether it's slander or not, take the sword and show it to me." The officer said. Of course, he also looked at Bai Yiyan's hand, but Bai Yiyan's hand was white and pure, and at first glance it didn't look like the hand of a sword practitioner at all, so naturally there was something missing, and his attention was all on Mei Changqing. Mei Changqing untied his sword and shook off the cloth that wrapped the sword, revealing the deceptive sword.

The body of the sword is slender, decorated with golden moire, and the scabbard is snow-white, if you know it, you will definitely be able to recognize it at a glance, and the person who holds the sword must be Mei Changqing. But the man only glanced at it, drew his sword again, looked at its edge, and put it down.

The one who inspected the inn last night was just an ordinary errand officer, and judging by his dress, he should be a powerful character, and he shouldn't have heard of the Frost Sword. Although Bai Yiyan felt puzzled, his face was as usual.

"Where was your Excellency at the second watch last night?"

When I went upstairs, I glanced at the servant more, he was holding his forehead, and his clothes were slightly patterned, not simply plain. The northern kingdom respects strange beasts, and the unicorn is respected, and the patterns decorated on his clothes don't look like unicorns.

"It's a shy." Mei Changqing said. "The character is upright, but it fits very well."

"I've never seen a pattern like this." Bai Yiyan said, she felt familiar just now. Da Liang admires the dragon and phoenix totem, but he is far away from these strange beasts, Bai Yiyan has seen these ancient beast patterns before, but after all, it is different from what she has seen, and it has been a little blurry for a long time.

"The Northern Beast Totem is not something that anyone can use. Most of them are like family crests. Since it is a fierce man, it is the iron-faced selfless Chen Yixian. ”

"You know?" Bai Yiyan asked.

Mrs. Dugu was willing to be expelled from the house for Yun Zhiyao, but why did she get pregnant with his child and run away from a foreign land, Bai Yiyan couldn't understand what happened at that time, so that Mrs. Dugu was ruthless, abandoned her husband who doted on her and loved her, and ran away.

"This time I will go back to Daliang and pass through Lanling, which is close to the Valley of Forgotten Worries, so why don't I take you to see the Valley of Forgotten Worries." Mei Changqing said. "The grass is evergreen in all seasons, but there are no flowers in winter, but the valley of the grass is snow-blue, very beautiful, if the wind blows, you can still smell the fragrance of the valley."

The incense powder of the Forgotten Worry Valley, Bai Yiyan had asked Mei Changqing to bring some before, and it smelled refreshing, hearing Mei Changqing say this, Bai Yiyan really wanted to go and see it.

"If you leave, you should be released tomorrow morning." Mei Changqing put the wine jar next to the charcoal basin.

"How do you know?" Bai Yiyan had some doubts on his face. "Didn't you say they wouldn't let them go if they didn't find out? How can I be released tomorrow morning? ”

"Most of the merchants downstairs are people who are used to this business road, and they have already done a lot of work up and down, even if they are the descendants of the iron-faced selfless Chen Yixian, they can't resist the pressure from above. We'll just have to follow these caravans tomorrow. ”

"But I think that the fox only checked us this morning, and he shouldn't let us go easily."

Mei Changqing smiled and poured the hot wine next to her into the bowl. "It's okay, he can't beat you."

It was the first time Bai Yiyan heard Mei Changqing say this, she originally thought that Mei Changqing would have some plans, but it was so simple and rude. "Are we really going to fight out?"

"If he stops, you don't have to be polite." Mei Changqing showed a fox-like smile, and Bai Yiyan only felt a chill down her spine. "I'm a wounded, so naturally I want you to do it. Besides, as soon as the Frost Bullying Sword comes out, even if he didn't recognize it just now, he will definitely recognize my identity when he sees him again. I'm worth 10,000 taels of gold, the official plus three levels, aren't you the most afraid of trouble? ”

What Biyu son, it is all a lie, and it is clearly a fox into a spirit. Bai Yiyan hugged Aoyue angrily, turned his head away, and didn't want to pay attention to him.

The mysterious person before could have intervened, restrained them and searched for them, but the man did not do so, indicating that there was no ill will towards them, but whether there was malicious intent or not, there was such a person behind him, and it was always a sharp sword hanging over his head. Mei Changqing said that with only that one move to defeat the enemy's martial arts, they didn't even have a chance to escape. The Yanshan monks in the rivers and lakes are at the top level, and the Yanshan monks themselves may be present and may be able to compare with them head-on, but Bai Yiyan only has an empty body of internal strength, and she can't exert the power of the Yanshan monks, she still needs to step up her practice and understand it.

Bai Yiyan listened on the tree, secretly clenched her fists, and Mei Changqing gently held her palm, making her very relieved.

"I'm sorry, I've heard you say a lot, but this person is not." The voice said again. "Could it be that they are already gone?"

"Their horses are kept in the stables, and they can run faster than their horses. That girl has fine skin and tender meat, she doesn't look like a martial arts practitioner, but she is holding a good sword, and she looks quite valuable......"

The man was halfway through speaking, and then he shut up, the dark clouds had just dispersed, and in the moonlight in front of him, the beautiful woman held her sword and leaned against the tree, followed by the son of Yushu in the wind.

"This sword is quite valuable, but it has to be exchanged for life."

Although the sword in Bai Yiyan's hand has never been listed, after all, it is made by the same master as the deception in Mei Changqing's hand, and she is not a person in the rivers and lakes, so it is normal to have no list.

Bully Shuang held a sword flower in Mei Changqing's hand. "This strong man must be about to reveal the reward."

"Don't talk nonsense." There are still seven or eight of them left, and they should also be good hands, and they have somewhat blocked the joint blow of Bai Yiyan and Mei Changqing just now. Mei Changqing chuckled lightly and took out his sword, the body of the sword reflected the moonlight, reflecting the snow-white and cold light, and weighed the golden ornament on the hilt. "Since a few people insist on finding trouble below, then don't blame you for being unkind."

His tone was a little heavier, not as warm as before, but he still had some softness towards Bai Yiyan. "Yue'er, you go to the front and wait a little first, and I'll come later. Shrewd. ”

When Bai Yiyan heard this, he answered, took Aoyue, turned around, and ran a few steps forward.

"Okay, boy. Let the woman run first. "The bandits drew their weapons." You are alone, dealing with so many of our brothers, no matter how powerful you are, you can escape from the sky, solve you first, and then deal with that woman. ”

Mei Changqing just smiled lightly, and her eyes reflected the coolness of frost and snow. "If I do it, there will always be some blood, I don't want her to see it, a few of them, offended."

After he finished speaking, the sword came out, and the blade of the sword shone silver in the moonlight, drawing an arc. With a meteor breaking through the moon, the sword body reached the side of a person's neck, and there was only a blood line left, and the person fell. The scabbard rested on the blade of the man next to him, and he turned lightly, the blade of the sword inserted into the man's side.

Scarface had been standing behind, not rushing forward to make a move, but standing outside the battle, quietly watching. Although Mei Changqing was besieged by seven or eight people, his swordsmanship was elegant and light, and he couldn't see the embarrassment of being surrounded by people at all, but he was flowing and smoother, Bai Yiyan stood not far away, he could hear the sound of swords colliding, and he didn't scream and scream, Mei Changqing's sword has always been a one-hit defeat, and he was dressed in white without even a little blood.
