The snow in the north is coming. The overcast sky pressed against the boundless earth, and the traveler hastened his pace under the urging of the heavy snow. The only road leading from the Jin Kingdom to Western Qin had been blocked by heavy snow, and the merchants could only evacuate to Shicheng in the south before the real cold winter came, otherwise they would be trapped in the desert in the north and become food for the beasts before hibernation.

Even the caravans operating in this area are moving south, and this year the snow is very strange, it comes early and it falls heavily, and the caravans have withdrawn, and it is not interesting for the caravans to stay.

The two largest gangs north of Shicheng, Meng Wei's "Ghost Knife Gang" and He Wen'an's "Stone Axe", have always been fighting endlessly. The Ghost Knife Gang is a native of the horse gang, Meng Wei's family has been a horse for three generations, and doing this line can be described as a family tradition and a lineage, Meng Wei got on the horse to rob people at the age of thirteen, and all kinds of insidious tricks of robbing houses and houses have long been familiar with the heart, and they have been melted into the blood! This generation has been dominating for many years, and it has long unified the horse gangs in the area of Shicheng North Road. Because of geographical reasons, there are not many roads from the Jin State to the West Qin, and in recent years, the Jin State has become more and more strict on the road to the west, basically all the merchants of the Jin State have chosen to take the road of Shicheng North Road, although it is more difficult, but it is finally smooth. Meng Wei also developed by the rise of this trade route.

But in the past two years, there has been a "Stone Axe Gang", and the financial resources and manpower are so fucking abundant, and they have developed under Meng Wei's nose. After several inquiries, Meng Wei learned that this "Stone Axe Gang" was the official private inspection team of Shi Dang, the lord of Shicheng City! As long as there was no warrant for customs clearance in Shicheng, the Stone Axe Gang had the right to seize all the goods! This Shi Dangdang was not afraid of other people's irresponsible remarks, and directly named the private inspection team the "Stone Axe Gang," and brazenly engaged in the business of robbing houses and houses.

So this official and a citizen two horse gangs have been fighting in Shicheng North Road for nearly two years, and today because a horse team selling smuggled salt was targeted by both families, and seeing that the cold winter was coming, they all pointed to this business for the winter, so they started fighting.

But today, this pair of mortal enemies sat honestly at a table and politely chatted with a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.

Meng Wei was naturally shocked by Ma Xie's unblinking momentum and superb swordsmanship, but He Wei'an was thoughtful.

When he was in Shicheng, He Wei'an heard a legend that further north of the northern prairie, there was a mountain forest that was inaccessible to people, and there was a mountain that no one could climb. There was once a man in the forest who claimed to have learned the unparalleled swordsmanship of a white ape.

At first, people thought that this was a way for men to come up with in order to improve their reputation, after all, in the rivers and lakes, fame is much more useful than martial arts, and if you want to be famous, can't you be different?

But gradually, as the man challenged more and more masters, people found that his swordsmanship did not belong to any sect, and his style of action was similar to that of a humanoid brute. Suddenly, one day, when the man became the world-famous dragon slayer, and killed seventeen strange beasts in a secret place in the east, saving the lives of more than thirty cities, people believed everything he said - after all, the truth of that story is not so important.

This person is the world-famous swordsman Xiong Hu.

Could it be that this kid is Xiong Hu's fellow disciple and brother? He Wen'an couldn't help but think. He asked Ma Xie tentatively: "I don't know if the young man knows the sword master Xionghu?"

Ma Xie shook his head: "I don't know, are you very powerful?" I said that you are the first person I know. ”

It seems that this young man just wants to imitate Xiong Hu, how can there be any white ape, how can he teach people swordsmanship? But He Wen'an thought about it again, that Xiong Hu has been famous for more than 30 years, and this kid is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and it is normal that he has not seen it. Thinking of this, He Wen'an still decided to stabilize this young man first and bring him back to Shicheng to introduce him to the city lord, after all, if nothing else, the young man's swordsmanship alone can already make a difference.

The two talked with Ma Xie for a long time and answered many things in the rivers and lakes, and Ma Xie finally knew what was going on with those "fathers" in his pocket.

"There is a saying that people die for money, birds die for food, Ma Shaoxia is new to the rivers and lakes, naturally I don't know how important this money is. Take the two of us as an example, if we don't fight to the death today, then the brothers behind me won't be able to survive this winter. Meng Wei said to Ma Xie.

Although Ma Xie is not deeply involved in the world, his brain is extremely smart, and he immediately understands what is going on, which is no different from two groups of monkeys fighting for water in the mountains.

"I don't know what Shaoxia's plan is next?" He Wen'an said, he didn't care so much about the goods in front of him.

"I don't know, let's find the most powerful guy and compete!" Ma Xie replied, isn't being famous all over the world to defeat the most powerful one?

"Shaoxia is really so courageous!" He Wen'an hurriedly said: "I wonder if Shaoxia is willing to go to Shicheng with me? ”

Ma Xie naturally agreed, except for this broken town, it was a wilderness where birds didn't, there was nothing to eat, and if he didn't find the next town, he would starve to death before he became famous in the world.

He asked Anxin to be overjoyed, this young swordsman was more than a batch of goods treasures, he handed over: "Boss Meng, I don't want to rob this batch of goods, I want to escort this young man back to Shicheng, but you just hurt my brothers, I'm afraid you have to give an explanation!"

Meng Wei was a little unhappy in his heart, but he endured it when he thought of that batch of goods: "Three months from the beginning of spring next year, my surname Meng will never disturb Boss He's business!"

Seeing that the two of them had distributed the goods in this way, Ma Xie was secretly disappointed in his heart, and he thought that the two would have a big fight.

He Wei'an is a fine person, he was afraid that Ma Xie would go to Shicheng to cause trouble, and he kept saying along the way that the city where this person lived was different from the mountains and forests, at least he couldn't kill people indiscriminately. Ma Xie has been calloused these days, and he said: "Lao He, I won't hurt people indiscriminately, as long as people don't hurt me, I will definitely not hurt people." ”

He Wen'an nodded reassuringly. After that, Ma Xie asked him about the so-called "Dragon Slayer", which was what Ma Xie was most interested in.

"Uh... I've only heard of it. He Wen'an said hesitantly: "It is said that there is a kind of dragon slaying technique in this world, and those who practice dragon slaying are called dragon slayers. As soon as the dragon slayer made a move, the heavens and the earth changed color, and the sun and moon were dim, similar to the gods. ”

"Oh, so powerful, where is the dragon slayer, is there one in Shicheng?"

He Qian'an only heard the old man say that there are no dragons in this world, so how can there be any dragon slayers!

He still listened to what the stone city lord said. He Wen'an squeezed out everything he knew, and Ma Xie knew a rough idea.

It is said that there is a sacred creature called "dragon" in this world, which is the origin of all things in heaven and earth. If an ordinary beast is contaminated with "dragon blood", it will turn into a strange beast and bring disaster to the world.

The dragon slayer was born specifically to hunt this strange beast. It is said that dragon slayers can drive water and swallow fire, move mountains and seas, and possess unimaginable divine powers of mortals! The most powerful dragon slayer can fight with the heavens and slaughter the dragon! As for what the dragon is, no one has ever seen it, and no one can say it clearly.

"Fight the sky and slay the dragon! This is the great hero and the great hero!" Ma Xie felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart: "The big husband should be like this!"
