Chapter 33 Coming
The night breeze is cold, the cold hits, on the official road of Yanqingzhou, a hundred miles away from Dingjing, two horses are galloping one after the other, and the sound of swift horses' hooves is particularly clear in the silent dark night.
"Night owl, it's all you stupid guy, procrastinating. Look at the night, not only is the cooking good cooking good for the master, but the master sends him out to do errands, and every time he does it neatly, he doesn't need to worry about it at all. Look at you again," the first person riding the horse shook the whip in his hand, clamped his legs hard, and the horse ran faster under his crotch, but opened his mouth but spit out disgusted words, it was Xiao Yu, "Isn't it just to investigate an assassination case and find out the dead people, the master has said it, and the whole power is left to you to decide, and you still come back every once in a while to ask the master." If it weren't for you being so ink, how could we have delayed so much time and rushed back in such a hurry now. Tell you, if you miss the appointment between the master and the little flying worm, make the little flying worm angry, and see how the master cleans you up. ”
"Yes, every time you send Ye Yu out of the task, either kill or set fire, it is simple and rude, of course he completes it cleanly. And the night is a monster itself, a big man studies pastries as well as his own martial arts, when he kills, he is like chopping melons and vegetables without a trace of emotion, but when he enters the kitchen, he is like entering the gentle township, and treats those cups, plates, dishes and radish cabbage as a delicate girl's eyebrows and eyes and gentle care. It's no wonder that you can get your master's blue eyes, because the night is just as weird as you. But look at the tasks you give me every time, there are not many opportunities to make a move, but you need to use your brain, my white hair has grown out, not to mention this time, it is your ......" For the scoundrel appearance of his own master as long as it is related to the lord of Feiyun County, the night owl is no longer surprised, seeing that Xiao Yu sped up, and urged his horse to run quickly to catch up, but he couldn't help muttering in his mouth.
"Night owl, what are you talking about?" Although the night owl was muttering quietly, but Xiao Yu had deep internal strength, although the two were going against the wind at this time, with their amazing hearing, Xiao Yu still vaguely heard the night owl talking.
The night owl didn't dare to let Xiao Yu know what he was muttering, otherwise his life would be very difficult in the next few days. Hurriedly shook the horse's ass and whipped it to follow Xiao Yu closely, revealing a flattering smile and said, "No master, I feel sorry for you." Look at this cold day, we have been running for two days in a row, and we have only taken a few breaks to catch our breath, and we have not even entered the inn, let alone have a hot meal. You see we're about to enter Dingjing, why don't we stop and leave again? Don't worry, we will definitely be able to get to the county lord on time, and we won't make a mistake. “
"Okay, less nonsense, as soon as there are more pedestrians passing by at dawn, the trip will have to be slowed down, and we will hurry up while there is no one on the road in the dark night, and strive to enter the city with the first wave of people when the city gate opens. When you arrive at the Drunken Immortal Residence, you can rest and eat as much as you want. Also, we must not forget our own identity, although no one may recognize it, but Dingjing is the capital of the Great Xuan Kingdom after all, and there are many capable people at the feet of the Son of Heaven, so it is better to be careful in everything. "Not to mention Lie Yun, Xiao Yu instantly changed from a ruffian to the master who was familiar to them with all kinds of wisdom.
And after listening to what Xiao Yu said, the night owl also felt a pang in his heart, and a bright light shot out of his eyes, "Yes, master, my subordinates understand." "Yes, the master's identity is the most expensive, but this honor is no longer the master's talisman when he enters Daxuan, but may become a talisman. The master came to Dingjing for the Feiyun County Lord, but if there is a danger, he has to leave the Feiyun County Lord to protect the master first, although there is a drunken immortal residence, but the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and he must not let the master have an accident here, otherwise he will definitely be torn into powder by the night and them.
No more words were heard, only the low and powerful sound of "driving, driving" mixed with the loud sound of horsewhips and swift horses' hooves faded away in the night.
In the purple courtyard, at the right time, the fierce clouds lying on the bed had opened their eyes, and it was another old dream. Seeing that Cuizhu and Moju had already packed up and stood by the bedside to wait, Lieyun got up without hesitation, picked up the clothes in Cuizhu's hand and put them on himself. The top was a short, narrow-sleeved jacket with a wide belt in the middle, and a pair of narrow-legged trousers underneath, and the calves were tied with wide ropes and tucked into the deerskin boots on the feet.
Since the morning of the fight, Lieyun found out that Cuizhu and Mo Ju got up every day to secretly practice martial arts and fight with the two, the two became three people, and they fought in the same courtyard. After a long time, Cuizhu and Mo Ju found that if they didn't use internal force and only relied on moves, neither of them would be Lieyun's opponents. And Lie Yun always remembered the desire for internal force when he rushed to his mother's courtyard in his dream, and he also had the idea of letting the two of them teach him to practice internal force, but Cuizhu and Mo Ju thought about it, because Lie Yun still had poison in his body, he didn't dare to act rashly, so the matter was put on hold. And the clothes that Lie Yun was wearing were drawn by Lie Yun according to the style of the clothes worn by his grandmother Anguo when she practiced the exercises, and asked Cuizhu to secretly hand it over to Lie Ba to take to the Huafu Workshop to customize for herself, and Yan Shisan, the owner of the Huafu Workshop, saw the picture of the clothes, but did not show surprise and did not ask much, it only took one day for the clothes to be delivered to Lieyun.
Seeing that the two of them signaled that Hongmei and Zilan, who were sleeping in the outer room, had been temporarily lit to sleep as they were every day, and they would not find out the secret of the three of them, Lieyun didn't say much, and the three of them went out of the house, and they moved murderously by the soft light of the lanterns in the courtyard. At the beginning, Cuizhu and Mo Ju didn't dare to use all their strength against Lieyun, for fear of hurting Lieyun, but after listening to what Lieyun said, if the two of them were soft-hearted to Lieyun at this time, then he would meet an enemy one day, and this soft-hearted might kill Lieyun, and the two also found that in the day-to-day fight, Lieyun's strange moves were more and more and varied, if they didn't use their full strength, the two of them would really have a hard time coping, so they no longer had any scruples, and every three of them could fight heartily in this half an hour.
At this time, the three people who were fighting inextricably did not know, at the same time, there were two people and two horses with the opening of the gate of Dingjing City, and they rushed into the city quickly, towards the drunken immortal residence on Zhengyang Street.
Xiao Yu and the night owl arrived at the drunken immortal residence, before dawn, the old cow had been waiting at the side door with his men for a long time, and saw two horses coming towards him from a distance, and hurriedly walked two steps to meet them.
As soon as Xiao Yu got off the horse, he was dragged by the old cow on his sleeve, and he listened to the old cow's chatter, whether it was cold on the road, whether he was hungry or not, and he was tired of riding a horse for so long.
Helplessly rolled his eyes at Chaotian, and handed the reins in his hand to the night owl, Lao Niu has never been married in his life, and has always treated Xiao Yu as his own child, so every time Lao Niu is verbose, although Xiao Yu is helpless on his face, he likes and is moved in his heart.
Stretched out his hand and patted Lao Niu's shoulder, "Lao Niu, I haven't slept or eaten a hot meal for two days with the night owl." ”
When Lao Niu heard this, he hurriedly stopped nagging, asked the young man who followed him to take care of the horse, and took Xiao Yu and the night owl upstairs.
The two of them took a hot bath, and happily ate a hot meal and drank a few glasses of warm wine, and suddenly felt that the fatigue of the past two days had all surged, and they were urged by the old cow to lie down and rest.
And over there, Lieyun and Moju Cuizhu finished practicing, and before everyone got up, they packed themselves up and lay back on the bed again.
The sun rose and slowly set, seeing that the day was about to end, seeing that Lieyun got up from a lunch break and sat there in a hurry to take a travelogue, Cuizhu was okay, and Mo Ju couldn't hide his anxiety.
Mo Ju was about to speak, when he suddenly heard the sound of stomping at the door, and then saw Hongmei come in with a thick tent, and the two white patches on her head turned into a few crystal beads when she entered the house, "County Lord, it's snowing outside, and the snow flakes are not small, so the ground will be white in this moment." ”
"Ah, why is it snowing, then Xiao ......" Mo Ju spoke anxiously, but before he finished speaking, Lie Yun interrupted, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Cuizhu glaring at him fiercely, Mo Ju realized that he was almost speechless, and hurriedly peeked at Lie Yun and closed his mouth.
"Oh, the first snow of the winter so early?" Lieyun closed the book, walked to the window, pushed the window lattice open a thin slit and looked out, and sure enough, he saw patches of goose feathers and heavy snow, sprinkled from the air to the ground, and the ground outside was indeed white, and a few sprinklers had taken brooms to sweep.
The chill went down the crack in the window and drilled into the house and into the person, and Cuizhu hurriedly took the mink cloak to put on Lieyun.
At night, the snow still didn't stop, the weather was cold, and the lights were turned off earlier than usual.
In the purple courtyard, Lieyun has been a little restless since he finished dinner, so he made an excuse to replace Zilan, who was supposed to be on duty with Mo Ju tonight, and left Cuizhu with Mo Ju. And before going to bed, he ignored the obstruction of Cuizhu and Moju, and insisted on leaving a window unclosed.
There was a loud sound outside, it was almost time, Cuizhu and Moju in the house were already asleep, but Lieyun was still half-asleep and half-awake.
Suddenly, a black shadow fell on the snowflakes all over the courtyard, but the strange thing was that as the black shadow walked towards the wing room step by step, there was not a single footprint left on the ground.
The black shadow walked to the window, tried a few times, and found that a window was not closed tightly, and listened to the inside of the house, there were two breaths, one inside and one outside, even and calm, the black shadow was relieved, and was about to reach out to push the window, but the window opened coldly from the inside, and a face of his own longing appeared in front of him.
"Xiao Yu, you're here."
