"Bell Bell Bell ~"

"Come on, come on, drink ......"

……

The Night Terror Hall led the horse and entered the city from the south gate of Jinyang City, and the scenery in front of him suddenly changed, and a long bluestone street appeared in the field of vision.

The streets are lit up on both sides of the streets, and the sound of silk and bamboo comes from inside, and many pedestrians are walking on the snowy streets with small umbrellas.

Fan Qinghe turned over and dismounted, holding the reins and walking in front of him, as a person from a foreign land, he was still introducing the night terror hall, a native of the Great Wei:

"This is Jinjie, after the trade between the north and the south, the Northern Liang caravan in order to be stable, from the Yazhou gateway Songyan Pass into the customs, the goods to Jinyang City, are on this street banquet and trade, I used to run here when I was running around......"

Night Terror Hall walked around Liangzhou and Shazhou for many years in previous years, but this place was the first time to come, looking at the street lights full of wine and wine, and sighed:

"I thought that the border was poor, but I didn't expect Jinyang City to be so prosperous......"

"Liangzhou is poor because the outside is like a wolf and a tiger in the West Sea, and it is not easy to mess with without money, and there is no oil and water; Yazhou is different, the territory is full of mineral deposits, outside the border is the inner hinterland of Beiliang, thousands of miles of fertile soil is rich in oil; Both countries are displaying heavy troops in the central part of the country, because the eastern and western wings have lost their national strength, and the central part has lost the direct change of dynasty......"

Night Terror Hall didn't know much about this, so he didn't interject, just watched and listened to Fan Qinghe's explanation while walking.

Yazhou is backed by Yun'an, as the gate of the Great Wei Dynasty and the basic plate of the emperor, it has been a key area supported by the imperial court since ancient times.

Although the imperial court did not say it explicitly, there were indeed more officials from Jiangzhou and Yazhou than in other places. Because of the care of the imperial court, there are naturally many literati in Yazhou who take the official career, and there are many literati who can be seen everywhere on the street, and there are not a few people who carry swords and swords.

Night Terror Hall walked along the street, and when I passed a splendid restaurant, I also found that there was still a literary meeting inside, many scholars and young ladies came in and out, and the door was full of cars and horses.

As a martial artist, Night Terror Hall has little interest in this kind of place.

As the queen of the tribe, Fan Qinghe has to learn everything since she was a child, and she can actually learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but when she ran in front of the literati, she probably could only offer ugliness, and she just glanced at the carriages and horses outside the restaurant:

"There are also many Beiliang people who join in the fun...... It seems to be the flag of Wanbaolou, and it is estimated that it is here to discuss business......"

Night Terror Hall looked down and saw that on the side of the street where the carriage was parked, there was a rather wide carriage with the word 'Hua' written on it, and there were servants waiting next to it, and there was nothing else to see except luxury, so he spoke:

"Last time I was in Langxuan City, I bought a sundial, it seems to be from Wanbaolou, and then it was taken away by Fairy Lu...... Wanbaolou is very powerful in Beiliang? ”

Fan Qinghe said casually: "The wealthy merchants in Yanjing are very rich and rich, and they often send caravans to the West Sea to buy medicinal materials and minerals, but they have nothing to do with the rivers and lakes, and I haven't inquired about who the owner is behind it......"

Night Terror Hall estimated in his heart that it should be similar to Yun'an's Longyin Tower, the owner is a prince and general, and no one dares to touch the big business, and ordinary people naturally can't ask who is behind it.

Thinking of Longyinlou, Night Terror Hall was a little hungry, but it was not suitable to take Miss Fan to eat flower wine, so he found a restaurant that looked good on the street, and walked in with Fan Qinghe......

——

Hoof, hoof......

Horses passed by outside the pavilion, and men and women walked away together.

On the second floor of the building, the sound of poetry can be heard everywhere, a bookish maid, standing at the window and looking intently at the men and women in the distance, after a long time, a word came from the room:

"What are you looking at?"

"Oh." The maid turned her head, looked at the bead curtain in the room, and said with a smile: "Miss, just now a ranger passed by, I looked this way, I look so handsome, white but not weak, handsome but masculine, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, look the same as the one that came out of the painting......"

"Women are beautiful in their hearts, men are handsome, there are countless handsome rangers on the rivers and lakes, most of them are brave and ruthless, the girls around them change every three days, and they are not as merciful as the scholars who have just studied for a few years, don't be deceived by those people......"

"Miss is really accurate, the ranger just now, there is a girl next to her......"

"Alas...... Take this picture and give it to Master Li. ”

The fair-skinned jade hand lifted the jasper bead curtain and handed out the paper covered with Juanxiu's handwriting.

The maid hurriedly stepped forward to take it with both hands, and then walked out of the door, passed through many scholars and ladies, and came to a tea house inside the pavilion.

There are more than ten people sitting in the tea house, all of them are famous Confucian officials in Jinyang City, among them there is a middle-aged man, wearing the official robe of the Northern Liang, named Li Si, the official worship of the Ministry of Rites, this trip is ordered by Emperor Liang, leading the team into the customs to meet the Empress of the Great Wei.

During the period of peace between the two dynasties, there were frequent exchanges and movements, and there were even foreign envoys stationed in each other's capitals to communicate at any time.

The envoy team went to Jinyang, and the county guard here naturally had a grand banquet, and this meeting came from this; And the people who chanted poems below were all students of Guozijian and Tai Hospital in Beiliang, and they went to Yun'an to exchange and study.

The squire Li Si sat in the banquet, and there was an old man who was a strategist next to him, who was Li Si's master to the outside world, but if the Night Terror Hall was there, he would be able to recognize this old man as Shen Lin, the protector of the Thousand Machine Gate.

Many disciples of Qianjimen are working in the Ministry of Industry, and Shen Lin, as the acting head, naturally has a good connection with the imperial court.

The maid entered the tea room, put the paper on the table, and the waiter Li Si picked it up and looked at it a few times, and then handed it out to circulate to everyone.

After discussing with each other for a while, they carefully wrote down the comments and handed them back to the maid to take back.

The atmosphere in the tearoom was happy, and Shen Lin was also involved, looking like a knowledgeable old Confucian student.

After the conversation was almost over, after the Wenhui was about to end, Li Si got up and went to the rear to rest, and Shen Lin also got up to accompany him.

After closing the door, Li Si, who was originally full of alcohol, regained clarity in his eyes and raised his hand to signal:

"Shen Lao, sit down."

Shen Lin's status in the rivers and lakes is very high, but he still gives face to the Bai Dao characters in the officialdom, and motioned for Li Si to sit in the main seat, and then gently lifted his robe and sat down, and continued to discuss business:

"Continuously plotting against the Great Wei Emperor and the Night Terror Hall, even if he didn't leak his face, it was impossible to gain a foothold as the head of the Broken North Cliff as the righteous path, and he was destroying his deeds in the past two days, so as not to implicate other secret piles......

"As for the things explained by the court, I'm afraid it's difficult to do, the old man has already done it a few days ago, but unfortunately he was a step late and escaped by the night terror. The Night Terror Hall has been alerted, and if it wants to ambush again, it will be difficult to climb to the sky. ”

The waiter Li Si was holding the teacup, and there was obviously a sad look between his eyebrows.

He was ordered to go to Yun'an to meet the Empress of the Great Wei Dynasty, and the two countries were still safe and sound when they set off, but halfway through, an orphan of the king of Tianlang suddenly appeared, which directly blew up the western frontier, and the atmosphere between the two dynasties was also clouded with a layer of haze.

Zuoxian Wang Li Kai made a mistake, and before he solved the night terrors, he threw this mess to the imperial court.

The imperial court wanted the stability of the Xihai tribes, so it could not let the descendants of Tianlang live in the world, but it could not send troops to attack the Great Wei to arrest people, so Emperor Liang directly sent a secret letter to him, asking him to try to get rid of this trouble secretly in the territory of the Great Wei.

The resource authority given by the imperial court is large, and people and things that can be called can be called, but in the territory of Great Wei, the risk of assassinating Wu Kui, who is highly valued by the empress, is probably similar to taking the map of the hidden dagger to assassinate the empress.

Li Simo held the teacup and said softly: "If the orphans of King Tianlang are not removed, it will be impossible for all the departments of the West Sea to have their hearts set on me, no matter how difficult this matter is, they have to find a way." Everyone in the world knows that Shen Lao has no last resort, there is no character in the whole world that you can't deal with, and now the court wants people to give people, ask for food and pay for food, as long as you can get rid of the night terrors, you can be a dead soldier when you break your voice. Shen Lao has this help, and he said that it is difficult to deal with the official, so who can the official go to complain about? ”

Shen Lin did have self-confidence before, but the last time he calculated the Night Terror Hall, when the Night Terror Hall was unprepared and suddenly in danger, he could come up with a way to avoid danger and break through in an instant, and now he has been vigilant, how can he let the Night Terror Hall fall into the pit for the second time?

However, the imperial court has made a lot of money this time, and anyone who can be invited under the four saints can speak, not to mention the materials, he wants a few taels of snow lake flowers as bait, and it is estimated that the imperial court can take it out.

Although it is not easy to plot, as long as there are enough people and find an opportunity to be alone, the night terror can be solved head-on, and there is no need to use your brain to plot.

Thinking of this, Shen Lin had a little bottom in his heart, and said:

"If you can really be loyal to the country at the cost of your life, the old man can definitely do this......

Boom –

While the two were talking, a loud noise suddenly came from inside the city.

Shen Lin frowned, turned his eyes to the source of the sound, and got up again to open the window.

Li Simei also came to the window and raised his eyes to look, but saw the brightly lit center of the city, where broken wood and rubble were flying in the air.

In the loud noise, a figure broke through the air, bringing out a whirlpool in the snowstorm, and the overwhelming momentum was pressed down in the air, instantly turning the bright and green Golden Street into dead silence......

——

Compared with the glittering Golden Street, the East Market is much more chaotic, and at night, the market is closed, only the Goolan wine shop outside is still open, and many Jianghu warriors and market idlers gather in the street.

The wind and snow spread a thin layer of white quilt on the old street.

She Long, who was wearing a hat and a robe, walked side by side with the similarly dressed wound gradually leaving, because one was tall and one was short, one strong and one was thin, walking in the dim alleyway, there was a sense of impermanence.

She Long has been doing fast hunting for half his life, and he has long been familiar with the investigation of cases, listening to the trivial words coming from behind the wall while walking, and not forgetting to gossip with his partner:

"Gradually, you don't eat, drink, prostitute or gamble, men live more festivals than women, I wonder what this day means......"

The injury gradually left the negative hand, and the demeanor should be much more serious:

"Lord Night still doesn't eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, why don't you ask Lord Night?"

"Lord Ye is handsome and martial arts, there are a bunch of girls around him, and he can't take care of them just around him, where do you still have the heart to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, how do you compare with others?"

She Long turned his head: "You said that your appearance is not bad, and your martial arts are not low, how many ladies and young ladies were interested in you in the past and wanted you to be your son-in-law, but you pretended to be cold and impermanent." It's good now, they're all thirty years old, and they don't even have a daughter-in-law. ”

"Master Tu is in his forties, and he doesn't have a daughter-in-law."

"Do you think Lao Tu doesn't want to marry a daughter-in-law? As far as his physique marries a cow back, I am worried that the cow will be crushed to death, which girl dares to marry if she wants to die? Lao Tu was too fat when he was young, and he also practiced violently, he wanted to practice like Xuanyuan Chao's body, but the result was good, all the fat meat was trained into tendon meat, and the body shape was not less than that, and it was still round......"

The injury gradually twitched from the corner of his mouth, but as a little brother of the six evils, he was not very good at laughing at his predecessors, so he asked:

"The Ming Dragon Diagram can be reborn, Master Tu has practiced, can you solve this problem?"

"No, the old Tu Gu Xiang was born like this, practicing the Ming Dragon Diagram, he will not become thin and tall, but will only become an indestructible fat ball......"

The two talked nonsense and came to a large gambling house outside the East Market.

There is a "tiger" banner hanging at the door of the gambling house, and there are more than ten thugs patrolling, and the people who enter and exit are all middle-level businessmen in the city.

After glancing at the periphery of the gambling house, his body rose like catkins in the wind, and landed silently on the second floor of the gambling house, and then hung upside down under the cornices, looking inside through the crack in the window.

Behind the window was a tea-room, which was cleaned up, with a little medicine and food on the table.

A tall man, dressed in a brocade robe, sat respectfully in front of the screen, and was whispering:

"The account books have been destroyed overnight, and for the sake of insurance, several insiders in charge of the treasury have also been killed, but Lord Chen of the official government is not easy to deal with, and the movement is too big......"

The wound gradually left and looked behind the screen, but saw a nine-foot spear lying horizontally on the desk behind him, and the snow-bright spear exuded a deep cold glow in the candlelight.

Under the desk, there is an arhat couch covered with bright yellow brocade, a young man in a black brocade robe, sitting idly on the couch with one hand on his knees, holding a wine glass in his right hand.

And the eyes that were as bright as black stars were slightly raised at this time, looking at the window through the screen, his eyes were calm and indifferent, as if he was sitting on the palace of Hades, looking at the lonely ghost who suddenly visited!

？！

The injury gradually left and never saw the true face of the broken silence, but for a moment of looking at the person behind the screen, he understood who was inside, and his heart shook violently, and he immediately slapped the eaves and retreated sharply:

"Run!"

"Qiang—"

The loud eagle roared, piercing through the boundless wind and snow, and sounded high in the sky.

Almost at the same moment, a shrill wind broke from the room:

Phew-

A white jade wine glass, piercing through the screen and window, spun out from the house, like a strong bow and arrow, and the wound gradually left the chest and abdomen when hit in the air.

Bang –

The wound that flew away gradually faded, and his chest exploded, coughing up a mouthful of blood, and falling into the house below.

And She Long was the first time that the movement was wrong, and he had already risen into the air like a green onion on dry ground and rushed to the second floor of the gambling house.

I didn't think that as soon as his feet left the ground, the window of the gambling house exploded, and a spear shining with cold light rushed out first, pointing directly at the unbalanced wound in the air gradually leaving his chest and abdomen, and behind the spear a figure in a black brocade robe, like a loose dragon python, crashed into the snowstorm.

Whoop -

She Long knew that something was wrong when he saw this momentum, but if he didn't help, he was bound to die, so he still kicked the wall and flew up, smashing the spear with one arm.

But the gap between them was too huge, and the broken sound of hitting the window was silent, and he didn't even bow his head, so he shot his backhand into the air.

Sa –

She Long can be able to deviate his body, and the two-foot spear blade penetrates from his right shoulder, and the iron and copper bones directly become ornaments, at this time, the only effect is not to let half of his body explode, and he was pierced by the terrifying spear and nailed directly to the ground.

Cha!

The wound had not yet landed, and seeing this scene, he had waved his hands forward, and six golden needles flew out of his sleeves, drawing six arcs in the air, shooting all over his body.

Woohoo –

Black and white impermanence is called the grandmaster examiner by the people of the rivers and lakes, and the strength of a single person is indeed not strong; But the two were carefully cultivated by the imperial court, from the exercises they learned to the strategies of responding to the enemy, they complemented each other, cooperated with each other and even had fighting experience, and they were far beyond the stragglers on the rivers and lakes, as long as they were dispatched together, their combat effectiveness was definitely not weak.

But it's a pity that when encountering contemporary Wu Kui, this kind of seamless tacit cooperation can only delay the time of violent death for a few breaths.

Broken Silence held the gun in one hand, and at the moment when the golden needle flew out, he pulled out the spear and swirled around his side, lightly touching the six golden needles, and then the spear swept forward.

Sa –

Under a single shot, six golden needles that were swept together, along with the flying snow in the front yard of the gambling house, were thrown out and pointed straight at the way they came.

The wound gradually left the body and just landed on the wall, and before he could exert his strength, six golden needles passed through his chest, and a few points of blood mist collapsed behind him.

Puff~

Although he didn't meet the silence, this move can be regarded as buying time for She Long.

At the moment when the spear was drawn, She Long, who was nailed to the ground, knew that he was invincible, and he had already kicked the dirt, and the whole person slid towards the courtyard wall, broke through the wall and climbed into the alley, got up and ran wildly.

And the injury gradually left without caring about the pain, and when he landed, he bounced up again, flew to the street outside the wall, and fled in the opposite direction.

The silence was completely idle, and he raised his foot and kicked the stone pier placed at the door of the gambling house, and the stone pier of more than 100 catties immediately spun out, smashed the eaves of the courtyard wall, and chased the injury that had not yet landed in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Bang –

As for Broken Silence himself, he flew up, jumped over the wall with a gun in one hand, and stabbed She Long in the back in the air.

Sa!

She Long, who was running wildly with all his might, was already dead without looking back, and he flew forward and rolled, trying to struggle again.

And at this moment, there was a sudden movement in the sky above the side building complex!

Sassy –

The whirling blade broke through the air flow, and the screaming sound brought out by it came from far and near, suppressing the noise of the city in an instant!

Broken Sound was silent in mid-air, and when he sensed that something was wrong, he immediately pushed back his body with the tip of his gun, and the next moment, above the side room, a snow-bright long knife flew up.

The knife is three feet long, three wide, two and a half fingers, and the ring head is carved with a dragon, which is swirling with the momentum of thunder, and instantly splits a groove in the wall, and the remaining momentum is unabated from the alleyway across the roadway, piercing through the opposite wall, until it is nailed into the pillar of the gambling hall before it can be stopped, and the tail of the knife trembles violently in mid-air.

Buzz Buzz –

Looking to the side, I saw a black shadow breaking through the roof, like an eagle striking the sky, landing directly on the broken beam and popping up, wrapped in the wind and snow, bringing out a spiral whirlpool in mid-air, shooting straight towards the gambling house!
