I have often heard that it is not people who are diligent in seeking knowledge, but those who know who are diligent in seeking others. But I know it's wrong. Those who know it do not seek others, but they go out and chase people away. Its carving is deep and ruthless, like an eagle and a dog chasing a rabbit.

- Xuanjun.

……

……

The dynasty followed the old system, divided the world into ten provinces, each of which governed more than ten states.

Kitanamdo is a peculiar place, just looking at the name can not even tell whether it is the north or the south, some people say that this name is related to the king of Zhenbei set up here in the imperial court for generations, and some people say that this name has a lot to do with the local geographical situation.

However, more people are indifferent to this, after all, this world has been so difficult, just to live has done their best, natural disasters, taxes, forced labor......

Now it's another snowy day, I don't know how many people will not survive such a winter, and who will be idle to pay attention to those inexplicable things. It is probably the land of Wuyue in the south of the Yangtze River, rich and prosperous, so that a group of talented and beautiful people can be raised.

While singing songs night and night, by the way, I was worried about the country and the people...... Oh, no, it's while worrying about the country and the people, by the way, singing every night.

In the midst of the heavy snowfall, the official road is also covered with a thick layer of snow, and it is a small town several miles away from the official road. If it weren't for the heavy snow blocking the road, in the past, there would often be various merchants and horse teams here who chose to stop halfway, which was equivalent to a post station.

- Accommodation, food, rest, but not just for official personnel.

And the town itself is also a small market, where you can also do a few businesses and sell some goods.

On this day, which was also snowy, two passers-by dressed as men rode into the city as it was about to fall, before the doorway of the earthen fort was closed, not so much as the town.

After passing through the narrow doorway, the interior layout of the earthen fort was revealed in front of the younger sister's eyes, and she rode a horse and looked around, and found that most of the earthen forts were earthen houses, perhaps because of the cold snow days, and the streets were quite sparsely populated.

But each of them seemed quite capable, and carried all kinds of blades and weapons, and if it weren't for the clothes of ordinary people, she would have thought that she was in a bandit's den.

After all, these people don't look like officers and soldiers, but if they are all ordinary people, it is a little difficult to explain their behavior of wearing swords and swords, after all, the imperial court has an order that the Shishu family is not allowed to store weapons privately.

And walking on the street with a sword with such a swagger, won't he be arrested as a rebel?

"Senior Sister...... No, Gong, Gongzi, are we really going to stay in this town? Those people looked at us as if they didn't have any ill intentions. ”

"Take care of yourself, don't look around, because the more weak you are in such a place, the easier it is to attract people with bad intentions."

"But, but...... I always feel that the people here are all ill-intentioned, why are they so blatantly carrying weapons? ”

The junior sister lowered her voice, feeling quite uneasy.

"There is no need to make a fuss, the people in such a soil fort are often a whole family, and if the people do not hold officials accountable, naturally no one will meddle in their affairs."

The senior sister neatly turned over and dismounted, tidied up the fur coat on her body, and then said softly, her eyes were quiet and calm.

"Besides, this is the northern land, the land is vast and sparsely populated, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the people are fierce. In addition, the Liao people often go south to fight the grass valley, and the officers and soldiers of the court are too busy to take care of themselves, and these people can only protect themselves in this way. ”

"Is that so?" The junior sister was stunned, and then she also turned over and dismounted, and looked at the bulging horse bag, "In this case, our weapons don't need to be hidden, do we need to take them out directly?" Guru...... Ah, Childe. ”

"That's natural, but for now we're going to find an inn for the night...... And your slip of the tongue really needs to be corrected, and you can't always be like this. ”

The senior sister did not squint, and walked straight forward with the horse, although she was dressed in men's clothes, but there was no disobedience, but it added a bit of heroism, a unique flavor, so that people did not dare to despise it.

The little junior sister saw it really in the rear, and felt envious and took it for granted, her senior sister deserved to be the leader of the young generation of the righteous path, no wonder she became famous, and it was even rumored that she had booked the position of the next head of the sect in advance.

Although she knew that it might be some rumor with ulterior motives, she just had no reason to think that this rumor was actually very true, if only it were true.

"Anyway, the farther north you go, the colder it gets, and these places look so poor, is there really a demon cult demon here in Kitan-Nan Province? …… Son? ”

"I don't know if there is one, but the master and the elders of the sect have already taken the lead...... Moreover, if the Demon Sect is revived, starting from outside the Saiwai, it is very possible to collude with foreign races. ”

The two men talked as they led their horses forward, leaving long footprints in the snowy streets.

Soon, they found the only inn in the earthen fort.

There are many people in the lobby, most of them are caravans, and some of them are people from the rivers and lakes who have traveled from south to north. The tables were basically full, drinking wine in large bowls by candle flames, eating large pieces of meat, and talking and laughing.

A large group of stinky men, unkempt, gathered together to brag and froth at the mouth, and they don't know how long it had been since they had taken a shower, and the smell they emitted was a little rough.

After all, the two of them were women, and they had a somewhat natural sense of rejection for such a situation, but in the end, they didn't go back to the room to rest, but also found a table in the lobby to sit down, and ordered some wine and food.

The bitter cold of the Northland has a great demand for alcohol, and most of the liquor is brewed.

But the two women were not greedy for cups, and they also maintained corresponding vigilance, and after confirming that there was no problem, they took a few sips of wine to warm up their bodies.

They didn't speak rashly, they just listened carefully to the loud conversations of the people around them.

A place like an inn is the easiest place to collect information, and there are people from all religions and nine streams. When they first arrived, the most important thing they need to do is to listen more and talk less, and keep a low profile.

Although the little sister was still enthusiastic at first, she quickly lost her patience.

And during the day, she had been driving in the wind and snow for a day, and she was physically and mentally exhausted, but now she came to such a warm and bright place, and after a few sips of wine, she had begun to become groggy.

Although she barely kept her seat, her head was already little by little, and although she wanted to concentrate, she didn't feel that the things around her were saying that there was any value in paying attention, but instead played an excellent role in hypnotizing sleep.

The senior sister on the side looked serious, firstly, because of her temperament, secondly, because of her profound skills, the fatigue of the day and a little wine were not enough to make her sleepy to the extent that she could not resist.

Because they chose the table in the corner, not many people around them paid attention to their table, and even if they occasionally looked at them, they quickly took it back.

In such a situation, the senior sister easily got some useful information-

The first is the death of the only son of the king of Zhenbei, it seems that there is another hidden story, some people swear that even the princess escaped from the mansion overnight, and the officers and soldiers are pursuing it vigorously, so that the situation in the north has been particularly tense recently.

But she already knew about this, and even before she entered the Northlands, she knew a lot about it.

The second is the question of whether the Liao people will go south this year. To be precise, those aliens will definitely go south, but which place will be chosen to attack first is a debatable question.

Then there is some rural anecdotes that have been in a lot of trouble lately, and that is the legend of a large mountain not far away, which is said to have happened not long ago.

Many people are quite interested in this, and the speaker is also as if he has witnessed it with his own eyes, and he has a good voice and eye, and cleverly connects a local dart game with this story, what barren mountains and ancient temples, demons eat people, and the legend of sword fairies......

Listening to everyone, it was a blood boiling, yearning, just eager to replace it, the big husband should be like this!

Hearing this, Senior Sister couldn't help but shake her head slightly, only to feel that these people were really stupid, and they even believed such a ridiculous statement...... What kind of sword immortal galloping on the land of Shenzhou and going back and forth between heaven and earth is just a far-fetched statement.

The best martial arts only make people enemies of a hundred people, and in the final analysis, they are still just ordinary people, and it is impossible to do all kinds of magical things.

As for the ethereal immortality, the theory of cultivating immortals and cultivating the Dao is nothing more than a smile and generosity.

Shaking her head, she didn't pay any more attention to this matter, she began to think about trying to connect the other information, whether there was any connection between the Demon Cult Demon Sect, the Outer Race, and the death of the only son of the King of Zhenbei.

It's normal for the first two to be related, but the latter ...... Could it be that there is nothing wrong with the prince, but something is wrong with the king of Zhenbei himself?

Linked to the escape of the princess and the pursuit of the officers and soldiers of the palace, can it be said that the prince actually discovered something, and was tragically wiped out? If this is the case, I am afraid that the situation is quite bad, because there is a high probability that the border defense of North-South Province will be broken from the inside-

The Liao people went south to plunder, but the king of Zhenbei was likely to have been replaced by the demon demons, and the two colluded with each other, and at the critical moment, it was really enough to overthrow the northern land in one fell swoop and deal a heavy blow to the imperial court.

At that time, I am afraid that the entire northern land will be reduced to hell on earth, and countless soldiers and civilians will become two-legged sheep in the eyes of foreign races.

At this moment, the door of the inn was suddenly pushed open, and the cold wind mixed with snowflakes poured in, and everyone in the lobby took a look, and the senior sister was no exception.

However, the others just glanced at it habitually, and then withdrew their gaze and continued to brag and talk about the world. And her imperceptible body trembled slightly, and her heart chuckled.

It can't be such a coincidence, right? One of the two people who came in seemed to be a woman, and although she covered her figure, only a pair of eyes appeared under the hat, but she instinctively believed so.

Even like the eyes of the princess in the portrait, it seems to correspond all at once.

Others are very unaware, but she is different, her mind is delicate, and her intuition is often very accurate, and she can always find things that others are not aware of...... This time it may be the same.

So, could this be an opportunity? Can the current situation be resolved and the people can be saved from fire and water?

Thinking about it in her heart, the senior sister did not rush forward, firstly, it was not yet determined, and secondly, she was worried that rushing forward would only scare the other party away, and this matter still needs to be considered in the long run.

She turned her head to look to the side, and found that her little sister had fallen asleep on the table at some point.

The two men walked down the aisle next to her, still talking in a low voice, and although their voices were very low, a few words came over for her to hear—

“…… I'll rest here for the night tonight, the dead people shouldn't have caught up......"

“…… The old man hunted geese all day long, and he didn't want the geese to peck out his eyes, but that kid was ruthless enough to give his master and those brothers ......."

I didn't hear the rest of the words, and the two of them had already walked straight over to the counter.

The senior sister frowned slightly, and suddenly felt a little confused or felt that she had heard it wrong.

What does dead mean? Aren't the officers and soldiers chasing these two, but the dead chasing them? How is this possible?

If a person cannot be resurrected after death, how can a dead person hunt down a living person?
