Chapter 7: The Next Day

Tick, tick......

In July, the snow begins to cool down rapidly, usually rainy days and the weather is getting colder day by day.

In the wing room of the inn, the night terror hall leaned on the pillow and slept steadily; And Hua Qingzhi was lying inside, the quilt covered the snow greasy ball, next to the night terror, and the sleeping posture was also extremely upright, the two of them looked like a knowledgeable and reasonable husband and a virtuous and subtle lady.

The reason why she slept so formally was not that Night Terror didn't want to sleep with her arms, but that Qingzhi was too sensible.

At first, when the two of them first started, Qingzhi was very cooperative, letting them pose whatever they wanted, and even hugging their legs and hugging them to bully, they didn't resist, they just hugged their necks and hummed quietly.

Because Qingzhi is just a weak scholarly lady, the night terror hall does not dare to spoil it, but it is warm and moist like water, and after Qingzhi is satisfied, he will also stop tasting it and prepare to rest.

But after Qingzhi was confused, she slowly sobered up, and remembered that she was the eldest lady of the family, and she had to pay attention to the way of being a wife, and she had to be particular about her words and deeds.

And the greasy and crooked sleeping in the arms of the husband is obviously not in line with the image of a 'dignified and subtle' lady, but more like a coquettish and pretending fox in the house.

For this reason, Qingzhi began to be virtuous, and the night terror hall hugged her, and she worked hard and continued to serve her husband who was not happy; If you don't continue, you just lie down obediently, don't disturb your husband's rest, and so on.

Night Terror Hall thought that Qing Zhi had strong combat effectiveness at first, but Qing Zhi trembled, and gritted his teeth to continue, only then did he realize that he was sensible and was doing his best to satisfy his husband.

It was also the first time that Night Terror Hall had encountered this situation, and in the end, he was so hard that he didn't dare to move, and he rarely became a gentleman and lay down with him.

As the sky gradually brightened, the temperature in the room also dropped to its lowest point.

Night Terror Hall is not afraid of the cold and heat, but is afraid that Qingzhi, who is weak and can't help the wind, will catch a cold, so he raised his hand lightly and took a robe from the side of the bed, wanting to cover Qingzhi's body.

Hua Qingzhi slept with Xianggong for the first time, she didn't sleep deeply, and as soon as she moved in the night terror, she opened her eyes, her cheeks slowly flushed, and her eyes flickered:

"Night...... Night Child......"

Night Terror Hall bowed his head and pouted on his lips:

"Still called Childe?"

Hua Qingzhi pinched the thin quilt on her chest, didn't dare to look at the night terror, and lowered her eyes and said:

"Xianggong~"

"Hehe~"

Night Terror Hall lay on his side and raised his hand to brush the hair from his ear:

"Lady."

Hua Qingzhi was full of embarrassment, but she still bowed her head softly, and after sobering up for a while, she remembered something important again, raised her hand and touched her stomach:

"Let's do this, just ...... You can get pregnant, right? ”

Hua Qingzhi doesn't know martial arts, so she naturally doesn't know how to use contraception, and the odds of winning the lottery are not low.

But this kind of thing, Night Terror Hall can't say for sure, just said:

"According to the doctor, you must relax your mind, you can't be in a hurry, and you can improve your chances by doing more."

Do more......

Hua Qingzhi was almost dead yesterday, and she must have been a little cowardly when she heard that she wanted to do more, but in order to bring the doll back to her family on time, she hesitated, and still asked softly:

"Are you okay now?"

“?”

If the Night Terror Hall heard this at any other time, she would have to let her daughter-in-law understand what a tired cow is, but Qingzhi was too weak to dare to toss around, so she just said:

"It's dawn, let's talk about it in the evening, you rest first, I'll go get you food."

"Oh......"

Hua Qingzhi bit her lower lip lightly, and thought about it:

"It's been a good job."

Night Terror shook his head and smiled, bowed his head again, and then rolled over and put on his robe.

Hua Qingzhi was lying upright on the pillow, and after the night terror left, she touched her stomach again, but soon recalled the picture and feeling of insulting Sven last night, and quickly pulled up the quilt and covered her face......

——

Squeak~

The door was closed, and the night terror hall was still attached to the door to listen, and after finding Qing Zhi rolling with her face covered, she stretched out with satisfaction, and wanted to turn around and go downstairs, but after taking a few steps, she turned around and came to the door of Bingtuotuo and Yunli.

Bingtuo Tuo ran away with the bird last night, and now he doesn't know where he hid, and he hasn't come back yet, and there is only a breathing sound in the room.

Seeing this, the Night Terror Hall raised his hand and knocked:

Knock knock~

After a while, there was a sound of "um~~" in the room, and I sat up and stretched, and then I walked from far and near.

Knock knock~

Night Terror Hall knew that Bing Tuotuo had fallen asleep again, and he was embarrassed and asked:

"Yunli, what do you want to eat? I'll do it for you. ”

Squeak~

Zhe Yunli opened the door, leaning between the two doors with sleepy eyes, still a little confused:

"Shocking cousin got up so early...... What about Master? ”

Night Terror wanted to be vague, but before the words came out, he realized that something was wrong.

Zheyunli lived in the inn, although she was not relaxed enough to sleep in her belly pocket, but she only put on a white pajama outside her belly pocket.

Because the white pajamas are looser, they are sandwiched between the two doors, and the placket is obviously squeezed together, and the belly pocket is a traditional style, and the fixing effect is not obvious, and you can feel the softness through the fabric......

Although Zhi Yunli was a little stunned when she woke up, her eyes were not blind, and she found the sunny and cheerful cousin outside the door, her eyes suddenly looked down, she also looked down, and then raised her eyes:

"Amazing cousin, what are you looking at?!"

Night Terror Hall had already turned his gaze away and said a little seriously:

"It's a big girl, why are you still so reckless, you have to put on your clothes first when you get up in the morning."

"I covered it tightly, and I was shocked that my cousin's eyes were wrong......"

"Okay, okay, hurry up and dress up, we'll set off after dinner and take you to Shuofeng City to do errands."

When Zhi Yunli heard the matter, she naturally came to her senses, and she no longer cared about Fang Cai's affairs, closed the door, and began to clean up.

Night Terror shook his head and swept away his thoughts, and then came to the backyard of the inn.

There are still no people in the inn, and it looks like he doesn't move out, and the shopkeeper doesn't dare to come back.

Seeing this, Night Terror Hall first put a Beiliang official ticket on the counter, as a silver coin for the inn, and then went to the back kitchen, thinking about killing a chicken and making a soup.

But when he was boiling hot water in the kitchen, he suddenly noticed that the door was a little darker, and a chill came from behind.

Night Terror Hall looked back, and it could be seen that Bingtuotuo's figure was standing upright in front of the door, holding the bird that had fallen asleep in his hand, and his expression was as unsmiling as ever.

Night Terror's expression stiffened slightly, and then he said with a smile:

"Coming back? What did you do last night? ”

"I went to Shuofeng City to gather some information."

"yes, what's that ......?"

"You don't have to say it."

Xue Baijin put the bird on the windowsill and came to take the water scoop:

"I offended you once last night, you offended me once, let's settle it."

Seeing this, Night Terror Hall breathed a sigh of relief and nodded:

"Okay, if you don't get angry."

After Xue Baijin poured water into the pot and boiled it, he turned his eyes to the Night Terror Hall and asked:

"When you dealt with Shenchen Monk, you used the 'Hundred Steps Flying Sword', did you use the seventh diagram again?"

"Well, but I'm measured, so there's nothing out of the ordinary at the moment."

"Life is at stake, do you feel that nothing is abnormal?"

Xue Baijin's expression was quite serious, he came to him and grabbed the wrist of the Night Terror Hall, and began to use his scarcity and bone splitting hand:

"I'll check it for you."

"Huh?!"

When Night Terror heard these words of concern, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly withdrew his hand:

"No, no, it was my fault last night, I promise not to make an example...... Hiss~"

Xue Baijin is concerned about the Night Terror Hall, and it is not a punishment, how could he listen to this, grabbing his arm at the moment, and slowly massaging it from the bottom to the top.

Night Terror Hall was pinched and secretly snorted, knowing that Bingtuotuo was announcing a personal vendetta, and after apologizing for a moment to no avail, he quickly broke free and ran out of the door while he was not paying attention:

"I'm going to kill a chicken, you rest first......"

Xue Baijin saw that the night terror hall was deserted and fled, and the annoyance of last night was also dissipated, so he stopped his work and started making breakfast......

——

And upstairs.

"Uh-huh~......"

Zhe Yunli cleaned up neatly in the house, and learned from Aunt Fan to braid a few pigtails, dressed up as a little chivalrous girl with full aura, and went out with a small tune.

Zhe Yunli wanted to go downstairs to wash, but when she walked to the door of Hua Qingzhi, she paused, perhaps thinking of her childhood sweetheart and the heavens, she hesitated a little, quietly pushed the door open, and looked inside:

"Miss Hua?"

In the room, Hua Qingzhi had already dressed and was sitting in front of the dressing table to put on makeup.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Hua Qingzhi hurriedly put down the rouge box and turned around:

"Miss Yunli, are you awake?"

Zhi Yunli didn't know why, she felt that Hua Qingzhi's complexion was a little radiant, but she didn't think about it, she came to the dressing table, took a comb to help comb her hair, and asked:

"Miss Hua, did you hear a cat meow in the middle of the night last night?"

"Cat meow?"

Hua Qingzhi naturally understood the meaning because she had heard Qinghe learn to meow before, and her face turned a little red:

"No, right? I...... I slept soundly last night. ”

"Really? Maybe I misheard, why did you follow your cousin to here? ”

Hua Qingzhi just didn't accept Xue Baijin, she was extremely friendly to other girls, and she estimated that Miss Yunli was jealous, and said with a smile:

"There's something going on at home, and the night boy took me out by the way. I'm sorry for what happened last night, and I hope Miss Yunli won't worry about it. ”

"What do I care about? My cousin and I are innocent......"

Speaking of this, Zhi Yunli suddenly felt like a muggle, and said euphemistically:

"But Master, Master, I do have the intention of marrying me to my cousin. If the teacher's fate is difficult to disobey, there is really a day, in the future, I will cover you, and my cousin has wronged you, I will help you talk about him. My cousin and I first met, and we used to live together in Yun'an......"

Hua Qingzhi blinked, and wanted to ask Yun Li if she dared to clean up her master, but it was obviously not good to ask nonsense, so she could only bow her head slightly:

"Thank you."

"Alas, it should."

……

——

On the other side, deep in the snowfield.

A city stands on the earth, with black mountains behind it, groups of rivers and lakes and merchants, entering and exiting under the city walls, and the city gate guards are all warriors with sword handles hanging from their waists; And the flag on the head of the city is not the flag of the king of Beiliang, but a single word 'north'.

As the territory ruled by the Jianghu people, the city lord's mansion located in the middle of the mountain is equivalent to the imperial palace of the entire snowfield, although it is located in the bitter cold place, but relying on the successive construction of the city lords of the past dynasties, the scale is quite huge, and the buildings are stacked on top of each other, all the way from the square at the foot of the mountain, to the cloud pavilion in the middle of the mountainside.

In the early morning, the masters from all over the world sat in the hall next to Lord Yun, and the second-in-command Fang Xinggu, holding two iron walnuts, chatted with everyone in the main seat.

And deep in the Cloud Pavilion above, there is a dark room.

A brass lampstand illuminates the dimly lit hall, with tea tables, chairs and books, and a white screen in the deepest part.

Beiyunbian, who is the lord of Shuofeng City, is sitting cross-legged behind the white screen, wearing a white robe and a silver crown on his head, although he is thirty and six, he looks like a young man with a relatively calm temperament.

On the table in front of Beiyunbian, there are maps of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, on which there are several villains, and the characters are engraved on the chests of the villains, which are Feng, Lu, Xiang, Shenchen, Dongfang, etc., and the locations are also in their respective places.

In the wooden frame next to it, some wooden figures have been thrown in, with the handwriting of 'Xuanyuan', 'Lu', etc., only a few.

The dead Broken Voice, Li Kai and others are still on the map, because they haven't moved for too long, and even a little dust has fallen on them.

The reason why he didn't take out these people was not that Beiyunbian didn't know the changes in the outside world, but that the life and death of these people had nothing to do with him.

As rumored in the rivers and lakes, Beiyunbian was born in a seaside fishing village, and his family has been fishing for a living for generations, and he can't practice martial arts or study, normally speaking, he will not have contact with the outside world in his life.

But fortunately, when he was six years old, he met an old man.

He didn't know what the old man's name was, but he met him by chance while drying fish in the fishing village, and when he met him, he asked him if he wanted to practice martial arts.

He didn't know anything about the outside world, but he knew that people who knew martial arts were very powerful, so he agreed, so he apprenticed on the spot, and was taken out to sea to an island.

There was a big tree on the island with fruit hanging on it, and Master lived there in seclusion.

Relying on his amazing understanding, he quickly learned all kinds of advanced and profound knowledge that he had never dared to think of before, and gradually learned why the master accepted him as an apprentice in the process of getting along.

Master said that the end of the martial arts path is the immortal path, but since Wu Taizu, no one has been able to take that last step, so he wants to cultivate such a person.

He was very puzzled, and asked Fengguancheng if it was okay? The master said that no one in the world could compare to Wu Taizu, but Fengguancheng had a slight chance to get there, he was talented, and he also had the opportunity, so he chose to accept him as an apprentice.

As for why he didn't accept Fengguancheng as an apprentice, he didn't ask, after all, he felt in his heart that the master might not be worthy, and it hurt the master's face to say it.

He was born poor and had nothing, and the master valued him so much, he was naturally flattered, and was determined to complete the master's wish, surpass Fengguancheng, and become the third person to ascend to the immortal after Wu Taizu.

He stayed on the island for more than ten years, learned all kinds of literary and martial arts, and then returned to Beiliang out of the mountain, because he heard that the strongest person in the snow field was called Dusk Yunsheng, so he gave himself the pseudonym 'Beiyunbian', and only one battle, he became the youngest city lord in the history of Shuofeng City.

At the same time, he also took over the command of some people from the master's hands-that is, the 'green bandits' in the mouth of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

The Green Bandit is an intelligence network developed by the master, and his purpose is not clear to him, but it is speculated that it is also to dig out the third person after Wu Taizu.

As the saying goes, 'heroes come out of troubled times', green bandits go around making trouble and stirring up conflicts, and those with outstanding abilities will stand out.

After he took over, he also did these things, such as seeing that the empress of the Southern Dynasty had the capital to win the world, he sent people to assassinate from time to time, created pressure on the empress, recruited Cao Aning and others, secretly instigated the rebellion of King Wu and the prince of Yan, etc., to stimulate her fighting spirit and make her dare not relax.

If the empress can't sit on the throne, she will definitely have to find a way to climb up; And if you sit firmly on the throne, the pressure will naturally come to Beiliang's side.

To put it bluntly, it is to fan the flames when the-stirring stick makes the masters of the north and south dare not slack off, and they have to do their best to improve.

Originally, Beiyunbian went things quite smoothly, he was the number one seed of the master, and while concentrating on martial arts, he fanned the flames and fought crickets for the master.

If there was no 'Cricket King' in the end, then the day he reached the top of his martial arts and defeated Fengguan City, he naturally fulfilled his master's wishes, and the master has always been very satisfied with his performance.

But this situation changed completely after the appearance of a name.

At the beginning of last year, Beiyunbian was secretly arranging to incite King Wu to rob and abolish the emperor, and at the same time sent 'Blood Bodhi' to assist the prince of Yan to assassinate and give the empress eye medicine.

As a result, a young man called 'Night Terror Hall' suddenly appeared in Yun'an, and directly extinguished the blood Bodhi.

Because the Dao line was too low, Beiyunbian didn't care about it, but he never thought that after that, there would be information coming back from two ends in three days, saying that so-and-so died at the hands of the Night Terror.

At first, it was from various small roles, and then it was King Wu, Xuanyuan Dynasty, and Lu Jieyun......

Such a fierce cricket, not to mention Beiyunbian, I'm afraid even the master is the first time to see it, he wanted to create some pressure on the Night Terror Hall at first, forcing it to move forward, but before he had time to plan, he was put pressure on him by the other party!

In September last year, after Sima Yue's death, Beiyunbian ran back to the overseas islands to ask Master what to do with the night terrors.

But what made him desperate came - the master, who had been living in seclusion on the island, disappeared and could no longer be found.

After helping the master for so long, Beiyunbian understood very well what this meant - he went from a descendant apprentice who helped raise crickets to a cricket in a jar.

Master has found a more suitable candidate, he is no longer the number one seed in Master's eyes, if he does not climb up desperately, he will become a stepping stone on the road to the top of others, just like those crickets that have been bitten to death!

As he expected, when he returned to Shuofeng City, he lost contact with the green bandits, and it was difficult to mobilize the intelligence network that spread all over the north and south.

Beiyunbian knew that he had no time to complain, and only before the arrival of the Night Terror Hall had the strength to defeat the other party, could he survive to the end in this man-eating cricket jar......

……

Whew~

After the darkness was silent for some time, the straight flame of the candlestick trembled slightly.

Beiyunbian, who was sitting hovered behind the screen, retracted his thoughts and turned his head to look behind him.

Squeak~

The door of the hall was also pushed open at this time, and through the screen, a figure in a brocade robe could be seen, walking in from the outside, and bowed:

"Lord of the North City."

Beiyunbian did not turn around, and continued to look at the map in front of him:

"Master Yin, please take a seat."

Outside the screen, Yin Shicheng, the head of Jun Tianfu, did not mind the arrogance of Beiyunbian, after all, the Martial Saint already had this capital.

Yin Shicheng came to the tea table and sat down, rubbed his fingers lightly, and asked:

"Although the possibility of night terrors coming to the snowfield is very small, it is necessary to guard against people. King Zuo Xian, Monk Shenchen, and Mr. Zhongsun have all suffered losses at the hands of the Night Terror Hall, if they arrive in Shuofeng City, they will be ...... by the North City Lord alone."

Yin Shicheng is in his fifties, and he was originally ranked last among the great masters of the Northern Liang Dynasty, and he is still good at organ poison techniques.

The masters of the north and south have died so much, Yin Shicheng doesn't think that he will be an exception, and he doesn't think of Xue Yuan at all this time.

But the court was no longer available, and he was given another elixir, and he couldn't do it if he didn't come, what he was most afraid of at this time was that the movement was too big, and he would attract the Night Yama King again, and then scrape him to death.

Beiyunbian could hear Yin Shicheng's jealousy, and responded:

"It's a good thing that the Night Terror Hall is here, I'm not Huang Liansheng, I said that if I work for Daliang, I will be sure to leave the Night Terror Hall."

Yin Shicheng knew that Beiyunbian was not a waste like Huang Liansheng, but the Night Terror Hall was the Night Terror Hall!

The undefeated golden body of the Shenchen monk is broken, why does Beiyunbian boast about this sea mouth?

Yin Shicheng knew that it was not appropriate to get to the bottom of it, but after hesitation, he still said:

"Yin is an orthodox Northern Dynasty martial artist, pay attention to a 'thirty-six strategies, go is the best policy', if you don't have a bottom in your heart, there will be an abnormality at that time, and it is likely that you will not be able to cooperate with the Northern City Lord. I don't know if the lord of the north city can ...... Ahem......"

Yin Shicheng didn't finish speaking, and suddenly found that his chest was very tight, as if he was blocking his throat with a breath.

He wanted to lift his breath to suppress it, but found that his whole body was full of qi and blood, as if he was being pulled by an invisible hand, scurrying around, but after three or two clicks, his face was already red and trembling, and the teacup in his hand also fell to the ground:

"Ahem......"

Smack-

The teacup is torn apart.

Behind the screen, Beiyunbian stood up at some point, his left hand raised slightly, and his eyes seemed to be looking at a futilely struggling ant pinched between his five fingers:

"The only person in the world today who can defeat me is Fengguancheng. Does the head of Yin have a bottom in his heart now? ”

"Ahem......"

Yin Shicheng trembled all over, his eyes were full of astonishment and horror, and he wanted to suppress the disordered qi and blood, but it was like resisting a mountain with a mortal body in the flesh, and he was powerless to resist at all, and after struggling for a while, he slipped directly from the chair and fell to his knees:

"Yes...... It's Yin's disrespect. ”

Beiyunbian closed his hand behind him and tilted his head to signal the door:

"Get out."

Where did Yin Shicheng dare to say more than half a word, he hurriedly got up, covered his chest and walked out quickly.

Squeak~

Click-

As the door closed, the hall fell silent again......
