In the depths of winter, the birds and beasts in the woods were hidden, and the cold hurricane mixed with the heavy snow slapped on the trees wantonly, and the whole forest rattled, and the snow on the ground was knee-high.

At this time, a team of four people slowly advanced in the woods, led by a large man with a strong body, who had resisted most of the wind and snow, followed by a young man who looked like a scholar, because the strong man who followed closely was very little affected by the hurricane. Behind the young man was a girl in white, seventeen or eighteen years old, waist-length long hair flying in the wind, a string of red palace bells around her waist, which was blown by the wind and made a jingling bell, and the last of the team was a middle-aged man in a black suit, who was relatively thin, but her body seemed to be unaffected in the wind and snow, and she walked calmly behind the team.

Soon the group came to a wooden hut with nothing but a simple wooden table and a few benches.

"Miss Childe, the wind and snow outside are too big, let's close it in the wooden house built by Orion for the time being, and wait for the wind and snow to be less before leaving, you guys take a rest first, and I'll go find some firewood to keep warm." The sturdy man said to the scholar and the girl in white, and then walked out of the wooden house.

"Uncle Cheng, how long will it take for us to get to Yongwu City?" After tidying up the snow on her body, the girl in white asked softly.

"At the current speed, there will be five more days to reach Yongwu City, this time the snowstorm came too suddenly, I don't know if the master is okay with them, young lady, you have been tired all the way and take a rest first." The middle-aged man looked worried.

"Don't worry, Uncle Cheng, with Mr. Liao in charge of them, Dad will be fine." The scholar young man seemed to be very relieved of the strength of Manager Liao, and said with a smile of indifference.

"That's right, with the strength of Chief Liao, there shouldn't be much of a problem, and I will make peace with the master when I get to Yongwu City." The middle-aged man's brow furrowed slightly.

It didn't take long for the sturdy man to come in with a pile of firewood, and then lit it, and the fire shone on the cold around him and subsided a lot.

"Hahaha...... Edgeworth's flight is so cool. At this time, a streamer in the sky accompanied by laughter, the speed was so fast, forming a snowflake hollow in the sky, only to see a young man stepping on a three-foot rusty sword, standing with his hands in his hands, flying at a very fast speed, but the snowflakes flying in the air could not get close, and they automatically dissipated in front of the young man. This young man is Mu Qiu.

"Look at your virtue, the original seven-day journey had to fly around, and it took half a month." The voice of desolation sounded in Mu Qiu's mind.

"Sister Ara, the first time Edgeworth flies, it's inevitable that I'm a little excited. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, so I'm more than enjoyable. Mu Qiu stepped on the rusty sword and turned in circles for a while, and then made a sharp turn.

"Huh? There is a fire below, this place should not be far from Yongwu City, the map shows that it is in this area, let's go below and ask for directions. Mu Qiu's mind moved, and the rusty sword under his feet flew back to his back, and then a swooping "bang" landed steadily, stirring up a circle of snowflakes.

"Is anyone there?" The sword qi on his body was constricted, and after a while, Mu Qiu's body was covered with a layer of snowflakes, and then he walked to the wooden house and knocked on the door.

The wooden door opened, and the sturdy man saw Mu Qiu alone in the wind and snow, and asked, "What's the matter with the little brother?" ”

"This big brother, I want to ask how far it is from here to Yongwu City?" Restraining the sword qi, the snowflakes slapped on Mu Qiu's face, and his hair was blown a little messy.

"Come in, little brother." Seeing Mu Qiu's appearance, the sturdy man hesitated and said.

Entering the wooden house, Mu Qiu looked around, his eyes stayed on the young man and the girl for a moment, and turned to the middle-aged man in the strong suit, and found that this middle-aged man was actually a master of martial arts, and his meridians had already opened up seven layers, and when the meridians were cleared, his strength and the monks in the Qi training period would not fall behind.

The middle-aged man and Mu Qiu looked at each other for a while, then retracted their gaze and said, "Little brother is going to Yongwu City?" ”

"Exactly, but I don't know how far this place is from Yongwu City?" Mu Qiu had some admiration for the martial arts, he took out a cigarette from his body, lit it by the light of the fire, took a puff, and nodded and replied.

"This place is not far from Yongwu City, and it is a five-day journey to the east." When the middle-aged man saw the cigarette in Mu Qiu's hand, he didn't know what it was, and he didn't ask much.

"Five days? Then I can fly in less than half a day. Mu Qiu thought to himself. took a few puffs of the cigarette in his hand, slowly exhaled a cloud of smoke, shook the ashes, and said, "That's it, thank you for telling you and saying goodbye." After saying that, he got up and prepared to go out.

At this time, the girl in white suddenly said softly: "At this time, the wind and snow outside are so heavy, we are also going to Yongwu City, Mr. Let's go on the road together if the wind and snow stop." ”

"This ...... Forget it. "It's going to take five days with this group of mortals, it's too slow. Mu Qiu rejected the girl's invitation and prepared to leave.

"Mr. walking alone in this forest is inevitably a little dangerous, we go together to have a care, I don't think Mr. is like a local person, this time to go to Yongwu City to do business, the little woman has lived in Yongwu City since she was a child, she is very familiar with the city, if you don't understand anything, you can ask me." Seeing Mu Qiu's refusal, the girl hurriedly said.

"Oh, you're from Yongwu City?" Mu Qiu stopped and asked.

Seeing that Mu Qiu was not in a hurry to leave, the girl breathed a sigh of relief, and she nodded slightly and replied, "The little woman is from the Nangong family of Yongwu City. ”

"Then are you familiar with the City Lord's Mansion?" Mu Qiu continued to ask.

"Sir, are you going to the City Lord's Mansion? That's really a coincidence, the city lord Wuyang is my uncle, what is the matter with Mr. going to the city lord's mansion? The girl smiled slightly, and there was tenderness in her tone.

This woman looks handsome and has a weak temperament, but she is somewhat similar to Senior Sister Min Lian.

"It's nothing, you'll know then." Mu Qiu didn't answer, and said ambiguously.

"Did the gentleman agree to come with us?" When the girl saw Mu Qiu say this, her face was happy.

"Well, let's be together." Mu Qiu snuffed out the cigarette that was left in his hand and replied.

"The little woman's name is Nangong Muwan, and I haven't asked my husband's name yet." When the girl saw Mu Qiu agree, her face was overjoyed.

"Nangong Muwan, not bad, good, good name, good and beautiful, haha...... My name is Mu Qiu, you can just call me by my name. Mu Qiu touched his nose and stared at Nangong Mu and smiled.

"Brother Mu Qiu said with a smile, this is my cousin Nangong Ming next to me." Nangong Muwan's face was slightly red from Mu Qiu's eyes, and she sorted out her expression, then pointed to the young man next to her and said softly.

Nangong Ming is handsome, with a bookish anger, a rich disciple born with a golden key since he was a child, and his appearance is also good, so he is naturally sought after, and his eyes under the scholarly anger show a look of superiority.

Seeing Nangong Muwan introduce himself, he didn't say much, just nodded to Mu Qiu.

For Nangong Ming's look, Mu Qiu naturally saw it in his eyes, he would not do such a thing as a hot face and a cold ass, and he had always scoffed at these rich second-generation Mu Qiu, and he didn't care at all, besides, with Mu Qiu's current strength, not to mention Nangong Ming, even the city lord of Yongwu City didn't pay attention to it. Mortals are always mortals, and no matter how high their status is in the face of absolute strength, they are all decorations.

Seeing that the autumn birds were not birds, Nangong Ming's face gradually changed. Just as he was about to get up and scold, Nangong Muwan next to him grabbed his hand and shook his head at him.

Although Nangong Ming is the eldest son of the Nangong family, he has always been obedient to this younger sister, because Nangong Muwan and Wu Ling'er, the eldest lady of the City Lord's Mansion, have a relationship like biological sisters, and when they think of Wu Ling'er Nangong Ming, they break out in a cold sweat, and the woman's fiery temper is a kick if she doesn't agree with her, and Wu Ling'er has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and that kick is not something anyone can afford.

was stopped by Nangong Muwan, and Nangong Ming snorted.

"Haha...... Little brother Muqiu, you are very bold, you dare to walk alone in this forest, I Hong Wu admires courageous people the most. The sturdy man laughed and said.

"Where is my boldness, it's just that the wind and snow came too suddenly, and I was separated from my companions." Mu Qiu said with a bitter face, he saw that this sturdy man was also a martial arts practitioner, and he practiced horizontal kung fu such as external skills. This kind of kung fu specializes in physical training, and the strength of the whole body is amazing, but compared to practicing internal strength, it is inferior after all, and there is a limit to external strength, but there is no internal strength.

"That's a coincidence, we also got separated from our companions because of the snowstorm, damn it, this blizzard came as soon as it was said, and I couldn't see anything for a moment. Little Brother Muqiu, don't worry, with my Hong Wu here, I will definitely ensure that you arrive safely in Yongwu City. Dahan patted his chest and said loudly.

Mu Qiu, the bold personality of this big man, rose a little good, and he clenched his fists slightly and said, "Then it's troublesome Brother Hong." ”

"Haha...... These are all trivial things, by the way, this is Lord Lu Zhengcheng. Hong Wu pointed to the middle-aged man in the black suit next to him, and said to Mu Qiu, and when he said about the middle-aged man, the look of respect in Hong Wu's eyes was noticed by Mu Qiu.

Lu Zhengcheng only opened his eyes and glanced at it from Mu Qiu's entry into the house, and he had been closing his eyes to recuperate, at this time Hong Wu heard about himself, he slowly opened his eyes and nodded slightly to Mu Qiu, there was no expression on his face, and he didn't seem to be very interested in Mu Qiu.

Mu Qiu also nodded slightly at Lu Zhengcheng's gaze, didn't say much, and then chatted with Hong Wu.

"Sister, why do you have to let this kid come with us?" Nangong Ming asked Nangong Muwan in a low voice, with resentment in his tone.

"There are countless beasts in this forest, how dangerous he is alone, with us Uncle Cheng here, at least he is safe." Nangong Muwan glanced at Mu Qiu, who was chatting with Hong Wu, and said in a low voice.

"Sister, you are too kind, this person has no relatives with us and has no reason, what do you care if he lives or dies." Nangong Ming deliberately raised his voice to speak.

Mu Qiu was chatting with Hong Wu, and his consciousness had always paid attention to the two brothers and sisters, and he was quite happy to hear Nangong Muwan say that for the sake of his own safety, there are not many people in this world who can have such a heart.

Mu Qiudang didn't hear Nangong Ming's words, and he didn't pay attention to him, which made Nangong Ming's face a little ugly.

"Little brother Muqiu, don't be like our young master, just rely on having a rich father, otherwise it won't be his turn to be arrogant. We eat under his father, so naturally we have to give him some face. Hong Wu lowered his voice and whispered to Mu Qiu, his words full of disdain.

"It seems that this eldest young master's popularity is not very good......" After listening to Hong Wu, Mu Qiu thought in his heart.
