After entering the plains, due to the loss of the protection of the majestic mountains, the strong cold air from the north swept directly southward, and the wind and snow were unstoppable, which brought great difficulty to the flying trip.

It was originally expected to arrive at Yanguiling in ten days, but due to weather conditions, it was finally three days late before landing in the snowy city.

Xueman City is adjacent to Mirror Lake and is one of the subordinate cities of the Xue Palace.

Thousands of years ago, under the auspices of the Xue Gong and the Seven Great Families, Famen gathered a large number of resources to dig the Grand Canal Mohe River for thousands of miles to connect the shipping between the Lanjiang River and the Qinghe River, connecting the two major water systems in the central and eastern parts of the northern border.

The River flows through the city and shapes it into a large port city in the Northern Regions.

In addition, Yanguiling is located in the hinterland of the north, with the central plain in the west, the grassland in the north, the Yanyun Plain in the east, and the twilight forest in the south.

As an important town in Yanguiling, after nearly a thousand years of development and growth, Xueman City has become the largest and safest central city in the north today, and it is not inferior to the imperial capital and holy city in the south.

Due to the topography, the first heavy snowfall since the beginning of autumn this year did not affect the snowy city. But the air is stuffy, the sky is gray, the clouds are dense and low, and the next few days don't look like good weather.

Heavily armed soldiers were stationed at tight guard posts and watchtowers, and patrols on the ground and in the air were everywhere.

They are in order to maintain order in the city and prevent problems before they occur.

Xueman is also a huge mountain town.

She didn't have decent walls, and the caravans could ride the flying beasts around the city without having to go through the gates like other cities.

At this time, Si Mingqin was really walking on the main road in the eastern area of Xueman City, and Uncle Long and Lao Ji led Tianma to follow.

And Mu Liu lay on the back of the horse and couldn't get down, as if he was asleep.

The group bypassed the bustling business district and came to the hall placed on the cross avenue in the eastern district of Timber Cliff.

Jin Shirong, the person in charge of the hall, had earlier received a message from Tiemuya's Red Eagle, but the letter was secretive, only mentioning that Mr. Long and Mr. Ji were about to visit, saying that it was a routine inspection.

Jin Shirong felt that the two of them came to Xueman City at this time, which was a little strange, and he had some thoughts in his heart, but he didn't speculate further.

He, the curator, also had to take care of many matters of Tiemu Ya's business house in Snow City, and he was conscientious and conscientious, so he really didn't want to get involved in unnecessary trouble, so as not to hurt his spirit.

This wait is ten days, according to the agreed day, Long and Ji should have arrived two days earlier.

Maybe it's because of the snowstorm.

Jin Shirong thought so in his heart, and at this time, the deacon in the hall came to the study and said that a distinguished guest was coming.

"It's here. ”

Jin Shirong hurriedly went out and came to the vestibule, where he saw Long, Ji, and a teenager.

He thought that the young man was the legendary one, and he was about to make a big salute, but he caught a glimpse of a young man lying on the black haired horse.

Jin Shirong had a spicy eye, and recognized that this Tianma was from the Wind Tribe of the grassland, and the number was very scarce, very precious, and not ordinary people could control it.

Famous horses are worthy of nobles, is this one on horseback the right master?

As everyone knows, there is a big man who is only eleven years old on the Iron Wood Cliff, but the two of them come out at once, which makes people deeply confused.

Jin Shirong hugged his fists and saluted, and said with a smile: "Brother Yingtai, Brother Gongming, and the younger brother have waited for you for a long time, and finally waited for you." ”

Lao Ji's full name is Ji Gongming, and he replied: "Lao Jin complains in his heart that we came early this year?"

Jin Shirong said angrily: "Brother Gongming loves to laugh." ”

Ji Gongming stepped forward and patted Jin Shirong on the shoulder and said, "A few of us have been hungry for the night, and we haven't had time to eat breakfast yet." The little young master on horseback will work on you, the movement is light, he is injured and body, and he wakes him up, and you feel good. ”

"Little master?"

"If I don't walk with you, I'll just say it. Ji Gongming pointed to the wooden stream on the back of the Storm Pegasus and said, "That little brother is an orphan adopted by Lord Huai'an three years ago. ”

When Si Ming Huai'an adopted a righteous son didn't need to explain to the outside world, and Jin Shirong was not qualified to ask, but just bowed deeply to Mu Liu, who had not woken up, and bowed.

"And who is this?"

"I said Lao Jin, are you pretending to be stupid, or are you really confused?"

Jin Shirong came to his senses and hurriedly bowed down.

Si Mingqin smiled and waved his hand.

After that, with the help of the maid, Jin Shirong personally carried the wooden stream on his back and sent him to the wing room to settle down.

......

When Muliu woke up, it was past noon.

A few days ago, I lost too much blood and ate the blood rejuvenation of Qi and blood return, but I couldn't recover for a while.

And in the past few days, I have been sleeping in the sky, I have not had a good life, my body is very weak, and I have no day and night when I sleep.

When I woke up at this time, I found that I was no longer on horseback, and Si Mingqin Zhen and others were not by my side, at first I thought I was dreaming, I was stunned for a long time, and after waking up, my heart trembled, because for a moment I thought I was abandoned, and I was a little lost.

The inscription sword is still in his hand, which is very reassuring.

But it's a bit unkind to leave yourself alone here.

After that, Mu Liu struggled to stand up and sat up.

This movement alarmed the maid who had been guarding the door, and hurriedly pushed the door and walked in to take a look.

Seeing someone enter the house, before she could get closer, Mu Liu asked, "Sister, where am I here?"

The maid took three steps back and knelt on the ground, her face embarrassed.

Mu Liu was surprised and asked her why she was like this.

The maid bowed her head and explained: "The status of the maid is low, the young master's sister, the maidservant girl can't afford it." ”

"Who made this rule?"

Mu Liu's words were filled with fire.

The maid kept her head down and didn't speak, and it seemed that her temperament was a little stubborn, but she couldn't overcome her fate.

"If I don't call you sister, then what should I call you?"

"Anu. ”

Mu Liu was speechless, and after a cursory look at the furniture, he thought that he was in the wing room of a large family.

"I'll call you sister, if you don't accept it, call your master. ”

Anu knelt and did not speak.

"I'm hungry. ”

Anu got up, walked to the coffee table against the wall, opened the food box, and took a pastry to the bed.

"The young master will eat some snacks first, and Anu will go to the kitchen to bring the food that has been prepared for you. ”

"Okay, there you go. ”

"Young Master, wait a minute. ”

Anu owes a salute and exits the room.

Mu Liu saw the tattoo on Anu's forehead that was covered by hair, which was the mark of a sin slave.

More than 100 years ago, the empire was forced to abolish slavery under the pressure of public opinion, but to this day, the slave trade is still unhindered on the black market, and human life is as cheap as grass.

Perhaps because he inherited the chivalry of his mother Lin Wu, Mu Liu was very resistant to this kind of injustice.

As he ate his pastry, he watched Anu leave, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, nearly ten other maids followed Anu to the side room, presented plates, set up a table of delicacies, and waited for Mu Liu to eat.

"This is Snowy City. ”

Anu nodded yes.

Mu Liu asked, "My brother, where did you go with those two old men?"

"The eldest young master and Lord Ji went out, and Lord Long rested in the next room. ”

"Damn, you don't call me when you go out to play. Mu Liu complained, thinking that it was good to leave a person, this sinister world, casually leave himself alone, in case he encounters a gangster, while he is asleep, he stabs a few times, and the consequences are unimaginable.

Anu said again: "If the young master needs it, Anu will go over and inform Lord Long." ”

Mu Liu waved his hand and said, "Since Uncle Long is next door, there is no need for it." With his cultivation, he must have sensed it as soon as I woke up earlier. I'm not wrong, Lord Ryu. ”

Speaking of the last sentence, Mu Liu raised the volume so that someone could hear it more clearly.

After eating, Mu Liu hugged Mingxin and lay back on the bed to sleep.

Si Mingqin Zhen and Lao Ji returned to the hall in the evening and brought back a bottle of Qingyao Dew, saying that it had a miraculous effect on replenishing qi and nourishing blood, but they were dried up by Mu Liu.
