Day 2.

In the early morning, it was dark outside the window, and when I opened the window, I found that the pier was covered in snow, and it had snowed again.

Night Terror Hall stood at the window, looking at the wind and snow of the thousands of mountains, letting the cold wind blow on his face, trying to suppress the distracting thoughts in his heart, but as soon as he took a deep breath, there was a voice from behind:

"The window is closed~......"

"Hehe, okay."

On the bed, Sanniang was lying on the pillow from head to toe, her back was outside, she was obviously a little weak, and she didn't want to move her fingers.

Luo Ning was going to go back last night, but she was about to travel far away, and she was really reluctant in her heart, and Bai Jin didn't come to urge her to go back, so she stayed here for one night.

The specific process is not very easy to describe, the door to let the thief go in the middle have tried, if it is not for the fear that the movement is too big, alarming the water in the distance, I am afraid that even the 'entry and exit safe' jade radish can be greeted.

At this time, Luo Ning also had no strength, lying on the pillow, blown by the cold wind, pulled up the quilt a little, and raised his hand to pinch the top of the watermelon in front of him:

"Stop? Yesterday I was making a fuss about conditioning, why is it wilting now? ”

Pei Xiangjun had a faint flush on his cheeks, he was originally half-squinting, but when he saw Luo Ning taunting with his hands and feet, he took a breath lightly and grabbed Luo Ning's wrist:

"Shocking, it's still early, what are you doing when you get up? Go on! ”

Night Terror didn't want to get up, but he was afraid that the two of them would be tired, so he shook his head and smiled when he saw this, and took care of Ning Er, who was about to travel away......

——

Soon, it was getting bright.

The catkins-like snow fell on the riverside pier, a large ship anchored on the shore, and the merchants with their burdens boarded the deck in an orderly manner through the pedals.

Xue Baijin had already boarded the ship in advance, standing at the window facing the dock, and waved to Zheyunli, who was secretly seeing off in the distance.

And under a willow tree in a secluded place, Luo Ning was wearing a cyan long skirt, wearing a silver fox fur that the Night Terror Hall had just found, and the spring joy of the night was lost on her cheeks, and she returned to the cold and glamorous appearance of an ascetic woman, and raised her hand to help the Night Terror Hall tidy up her clothes:

"When I'm not there, I have to take good care of my body, don't give it to Sanniang, you just want it, do you know if you want to hurt your body?"

Night Terror felt that Ning Er was jealous of Sanniang eating alone, but she definitely didn't dare to say this, so she raised her hand to help Ning Er put on her hat:

"Go early and return early, pay attention to safety on the road, if I am in a hurry to return to the capital, I will go directly to you."

Luo Ning glanced at the white brocade in the distance:

"Do you have to worry about my safety?"

"It's always good to be careful."

"Hmph~ In the future, you can't just rely on Yunli, only learn martial arts and don't read and write, and you won't be able to become a wild girl in the future? Shui'er is both civil and military, but never leads people to the right path, you supervise by the side, let her teach Yunli; Yunli is not good at studying, you just write it down, and I'll come back and clean her up......"

Night Terror listened carefully to his daughter-in-law's instructions and nodded slightly.

After Ning Er had almost finished speaking, he raised his hand and hugged him again, and watched Ning Er board the ship, until the ship went down the river from the shore, then he sighed softly and turned back.

Zhi Yunli sat in the teahouse with the master for a while yesterday, because the master has a special identity, it is not easy to contact the imperial court, and she can't talk to the master about the heart of her, at this time, she secretly watched the master and the master leave from a distance, and when she saw the night terror hall back, she trotted to her:

"Cousin surprise, did my sister ask you to supervise my reading and literacy again?"

Night Terror chuckled, "yes." The daughter's family really has to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, otherwise she will become a crazy girl sooner or later. Look at King Jing, he has poetry and books in his belly, although his martial arts are average, but his aura is extraordinary......"

Seeing that the Night Terror Hall also said the same, Zhe Yunli put down the hands behind his back, turned to his waist, and walked with a slight movement of lotus steps, Si Swenwen, and three points of grievance between his eyebrows:

"I'm a wild girl, where can I compare to the queen, my sister said me, and my brother said that I was like this, I knew it was so, I might as well follow my master to Jiangzhou, so as to save myself from being disgusted by my brother like this......"

Night Terror Hall raised his hand slightly: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it." Let the people on the street hear it, and they think I'm a bad man, what's wrong with you......"

"Humph......"

Zheyunli didn't take the work, and looked at the night terror hall with disgust and resentment, and walked to the front in small steps, the spring boudoir's resentful temperament was vividly displayed, and the night terror hall who watched it wondered if Xiao Yunli was really unhappy.

Night Terror raised his hand and wanted to catch up and coax Xiao Yunli, but as soon as he took a few steps, he saw a sad Yunli, stopped in front of a storytelling hall surrounded by many people, stood on tiptoe and glanced curiously at it a few times, and then walked forward with a faint grievance.

“……”

Night Terror spread his hands slightly, a little speechless, and turned around to go back to the place where the ship docked.

Dongfang Liren came to visit the inn yesterday, but he was frightened, afraid of being dragged into the house by the passing, after visiting Xuanji Zhenren, he jumped out of the window and went back, and waited until the sky was bright before he went to the inn to pick up Xuanji Zhenren back to the ship.

At this time, on the big boat, Xuanji Zhenren was resting in the room, and the Queen Mother was beside her to ask for warmth; Dongfang Liren and Meng Jiao were in the temporary study, discussing the matter of checking the Broken North Cliff. And Sanniang worked hard all night, obviously couldn't get up at this time, and was still in the bed.

Night Terror Hall is currently trying to completely solve the hidden danger of Broken Silence as soon as possible, but the territory of Yazhou is too big, and Broken Silence is recuperating from injuries, as long as you don't take the initiative to show up, it is really not easy to find your whereabouts.

The Night Terror Hall had already asked the chief arrest to raid the dart bureau in Nan Town yesterday, and the news had not yet been dispersed, and the next plan was to go to Jinyang City to find out what Liu Xiang said about the head snake king tiger.

Jinyang City is the sphere of influence of the Broken North Cliff, and it is possible to go there to recuperate after being poisoned by a poisonous needle; Even if he is not there, as long as it is confirmed that Wang Hu is smuggling scaly steel, he can also use Wang Hu as bait to send news or something, and find a way to lure Broken Silence to appear.

To go to Jinyang City, you can take the Lilan River, but the voyage is upstream, and some turbulent places have to be towed by slender men, and it takes two or three days to take a big boat, and you can get there tonight on horseback.

Night Terror Hall returned to the boat to pack up and prepare, first looked at the door of Xuanji Zhenren, and found that the Queen Mother was also there, so she said hello:

"The Queen Mother, Fairy Lu."

In the room, the Queen Mother, who was helping Xuanji Zhenren to order rouge, was a little frightened when she saw the night terror hall coming out, and made it look like she didn't want to see him, put down her things, got up and walked out of the door:

"Let's talk, Bengong will go back to the room to rest first."

The Night Terror Hall saluted, and after seeing the Queen Mother leave, she came to the bed and held the wrist of Xuanji Zhenren.

Xuanji Zhenren leaned on the head of the bed, looked up and down at the night terror hall, and asked:

"Ning'er is gone?"

"Well, just left."

Seeing that his physical condition was not serious, Night Terror Hall was a little relieved, and when he raised his eyes, he just saw the rosy lips on Xuanji's real lips, he subconsciously wanted to look away, but he felt that it was wrong when he thought about it, so he turned to stared at it carefully, nodded and praised:

"This lip grease is so moist, the Queen Mother gave it?"

"Uh-huh."

Xuanji Zhenren licked his lips and looked at the Night Terror Hall intently:

"Want to eat?"

？

When Night Terror heard this, he couldn't help but sit up a little straighter, hesitated for a moment, and nodded cheekily:

"Hmm."

Xuanji Zhenren smiled, moved inside, raised his hand and patted his side:

"Come, let's lie down together for a while?"

“……”

Night Terror Hall was a little flattered, feeling that Shui Er was not well-intentioned, but he didn't dare to eat it until he brought it to his mouth, and he was still a martial artist, he looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no one around, he got up and sat down at the head of the bed, raising his hand and shoulder.

Xuanji Zhenren didn't hide, and waited for the Night Terror Hall to lean in front of him, and even moved a little forward, naturally sticking to his arms, raising his cheeks and staring at the Night Terror Hall.

？

Night Terror Hall really didn't expect Fairy Lu to show such a girlfriend-like expression, and the mind that had been touching and giving a lesson was reined, hugging his shoulders, wanting to put on a gentle and elegant appearance, and say two words of care.

But before he could speak, he found Fairy Lu in his arms, his eyebrows frowned slightly, he lowered his head and covered his lips with his hands and let out two muffled coughs:

"Ahem—"

The muffled cough is not loud or small, and it can basically be heard on the second floor of the shipbuilding.

In a few rooms in the distance, there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps.

Knock knock knock......

？！

Night Terror Hall was a little incredulous and wanted to get up quickly, but Xuanji Zhenren still grabbed his collar and looked up at him:

"Aren't you going to eat rouge? Come on~"

Night Terror Hall hurriedly raised his hand and confessed: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll talk about it later, someone is coming......"

"Hmph~"

Xuanji Zhenren was satisfied, and boldly stepped forward and pouted on the side of the night terror.

Of course, this move is not a reward, but the Queen Mother has just finished painting her lip grease and deliberately tried the color on her face.

Night Terror's arm was let go, and he quickly got up and rubbed his sleeve on his face, and almost in the next moment, Hongyu and several palace maids ran in:

"Fairy Lu?"

"Huh? Yegongzi, you're ......"

Night Terror Tang wiped his face vigorously with his hand and wiped his chin:

"It's okay, my face is frozen and I rub it casually. You take good care of her, she's not in good health, don't suffer from the wind and cold again......"

As he spoke, he walked out quickly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving a group of dazed palace maids......

——

On the other side, Blackstone Pass.

At dusk, when heavy snow fell on the desolate plains of Heishi Pass, a team of horses galloped from the northwest, entered through the pass, and headed southeast.

There are six people in the horse team, four of them are the doormen of the White Owl Camp under the command of King Zuoxian, and the other two are old acquaintances Cao Aning and Xu Tianying.

King Zuo Xian suffered a big loss in Huangming Mountain, and the Xihai tribes were disturbed by the night terror hall and buried a big thunder in the army's heart, which had already alarmed the Northern Liang court, and it was impossible not to deal with it.

After Xi Tianyan went to assassinate without a trace, King Zuo Xian handed over the matter to the Northern Liang Imperial Court, and the National Teacher's Mansion mobilized the resources of the imperial court to erase the hidden dangers.

And Cao Aning was born in the secret guard, and he did not share the sky with the empress, and the rebellion plan was repeatedly smashed, and he had many experience in fighting with the Night Terror Hall, so he was obviously a usable person.

For this reason, as soon as Cao Aning ran back to Zuoxian's palace, he was appointed as a special agent, and ran to join the people of the Northern Liang Imperial Court, serve as a strategist, and lay out the layout to eradicate the night terror!

Cao Aning had nothing to say about this, and when he set off, he had already begun to think about how to go back and explain the fact that he had survived after the defeat.

And Xu Tianying obviously had similar thoughts, he didn't need to communicate with Cao Aning, so he wrote a report letter, and waited to send the news out after arriving at the contact point of the Great Wei Imperial Court.

Xu Tianying is also a chivalrous man, and in the face of the four Zuoxian kings who are already dead, he was even a little reluctant in his heart, so he also said halfway:

"The Night Terror Hall is extremely cunning, and the hands and eyes are like gods, let's go over this time and let the people of the court take the lead, don't be greedy for merit, so as not to cause damage."

The four doormen are all elites raised by King Zuoxian, with unique skills, and they are basically masters of the layout of poison hidden weapons.

The first old man, named Wu Shengzi, was the leader of the trip, and in the face of the reminder of the newcomer, he said:

"We're just making plans to deal with a well-established character like Night Terror, and it's not our turn to make a move. As far as I know, the imperial court has invited many high-ranking people, among whom is Hua Ling......"

"Hua Ling?"

Cao Aning has naturally heard of this name, the prodigal son Hua Ling, like Long Zhengqing, the second elder of the Eight Kui, is a ranger with no sect and no faction, and he is only ranked below the four saints in the Beiliang Jianghu.

The Northern Liang Imperial Court can launch such a figure, regardless of the cost, and the four saints above are all the heads of large forces whose influence is too great, and it is impossible to come to do the work of assassination.

Cao Aning pondered for a moment and asked, "Hua Ling killed the Night Terror, it's not a big problem. However, if you start in Da Wei, once you are discovered, the people of the rivers and lakes will definitely go to the night terror, Hua Ling will not want to leave Da Wei if he leaks his head, is he willing to be a dead man who has no return? ”

Jia Shengzi shook his head: "Hua Ling, a ranger, how can he work hard for the court and take benefits to help the court settle affairs." How to do it, the imperial court has its own arrangements, we will go to meet the envoys who have entered Beijing first, and we will naturally learn the news when the time comes......"

After listening for a while, Cao Aning bowed his head slightly, and then galloped away to the southeast......

——

At night, outside the city of Jinyang.

The night terror horse hung its gun on its side, hurrying in the snow, and the cloak behind it was blown and hunted; The bird got into the bag of the carriage, showing only its round head, and looked at the brightly lit city in the distance.

Fan Qinghe walked beside the Night Terror Hall wrapped in a thick cloak, and after a long journey, his cheeks were already red from the cold. And behind it, there are She Long, the injury gradually leaving, and several chief arresters,

Night Terror Hall came to Jinyang City to check the news, and originally only planned to bring a few chief arrests, so that Fan Qinghe and Xuanji Zhenren could rest on the boat; But after Fan Qinghe detoxified the night before yesterday, his body had almost recovered, as a doctor, knowing that the night terror hall was not good, how could he rest assured that he came out to do something, so he still followed.

After a long journey, seeing that he was about to arrive in Jinyang City, the Night Terror Hall slowed down his horse and turned to Fan Qinghe:

"Miss Fan, how are you doing?"

Fan Qinghe was wrapped in a cloak and sat up straighter when he saw this:

"It's just a little bit of a horse ride, what can I do, let's go, I'll go back early when I'm done."

The wound behind his back gradually left, knowing the matter of the night terror hall and Fan Qinghe, he stepped forward at this time and said:

"For the matter of checking the news, just a few of us will go, and Lord Ye and Miss Fan will find a place to rest first. When I found out Wang Hu's whereabouts, I notified Lord Ye as soon as possible. ”

The investigation of the night terror hall is purely based on feelings, and the professionalism is far worse than the black government arrest behind the emperor's grain, so naturally he did not refuse, took out the lazy bird, and let it investigate with the injured and others, and then summoned him in time, and then scattered on the spot, and went to all parts of Jinyang City to find out......
