Kunlun Mountain.

Mobei stood outside the village, followed by a young man, the young man who called himself Gu Yuanwu, at this time, his immature face was intertwined with sweat, mud and wind and snow, but his face was full of joy.

"It's finally set!"

Gu Yuanwu clapped his hands, not caring at all that he was already discouraged.

Looking at the brand-new village in front of him, even Mobei's face showed a long-lost smile.

"Master!"

Gu Yuanwu looked at Mobei expectantly, since Mobei saved him that day, he admired Mobei to the extreme, and wanted to worship him as a teacher.

On Mo Bei's resolute face, there was a trace of indescribable expression, which seemed to be a little sad and a little relieved.

Not far from the village, there were a lot of snowdrifts, which were forbidden for him to go.

Gu Yuanwu looked in the direction of those snowdrifts and wondered

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Every time the sun sets, Mobei will always take a jar of wine, carry a bag of silver, and walk towards that side silently, staying for an hour, and when he comes back, he always has this expression.

Gu Yuanwu didn't know why, but he didn't dare to ask, in his eyes, the master was obviously just a child who had not yet reached the age of a weak crown, but he always seemed to have unpredictable things.

"Teach you swordsmanship, how are you doing?"

Mo Bei slowly exhaled a breath of hot air, and changed back to that frighteningly calm appearance.

Gu Yuanwu didn't dare to slack off, and bowed his head

"Master, the swordsmanship you taught is too difficult, and I haven't mastered it yet."

As he spoke, he secretly raised his head and glanced at Mobei, for fear that he would be angry again.

Mobei didn't scold him as hard as he did in the past few days, he was just silent, but Gu Yuanwu's heart was even more furious.

"Why are they arresting you?"

On the snowfield on the top of Kunlun Mountain, the sound of wind and snow filled everything, and a few days after Gu Yuanwu was rescued by him, Mobei finally asked this question.

Gu Yuanwu's face was shocked, and his head was buried lower.

"Master, have you heard of the King of the North?"

To Gu Yuanwu's surprise, Mo Bei shook his head

"I don't know."

Gu Yuanwu smiled bitterly and said secretly: My master is really a master who is ignorant of the world.

He took a deep breath, and then slowly told Mobei about the Gu family's demise.

Mobei's face was calm from beginning to end, and he didn't seem to be moved by Gu Yuanwu's tragic life experience at all, and when Gu Yuanwu finished talking about things in one go, Mobei still stood there calmly.

After about a stick of incense, Mobei slowly turned his head.

"Since you handed over the treasure, why were you hunted down?"

Gu Yuanwu sneered

"If the grass is cut and not rooted, how can they be at ease."

Mo Bei nodded slightly, although he had only been walking in the rivers and lakes for a few months, he had also seen people sinister.

"I'm not interested in any of these deceitful things, but if you want revenge, I can find a friend to help you."

Gu Yuanwu was stunned for a moment and asked

"Master, don't you doubt me?"

"Why should I doubt you?"

Gu Yuanwu smiled bitterly

"You're not afraid of my story?"

Mobei turned his gaze and looked at the village quietly

"Since you have spoken, I have believed."

As he spoke, he slowly walked into the village.

"If you need help, you can tell me."

In the village, the most remote place is Mobei's house, Mobei pushed the door open, and at the table by the window in the house, there was a wooden card, which was only engraved with two words, looking at the wooden card, Mobei's mood suddenly fluctuated.

"If I had believed in you at the beginning, maybe you wouldn't have to die for the first time..."

Gu Yuanwu walked in suddenly, he hesitated, looking at the wooden sign on the table, he often went in and out of this room, so although he didn't know the cause and effect of Mobei's thoughts, he knew a little bit about it

"Master, have you ever heard of the Bridge of Sighs?"

"Boom!"

Inside the house, the fierce momentum suddenly erupted, Gu Yuanwu looked at the master in front of him in horror, Mobei at this moment, his eyes were as cold as the most piercing ice blades in the cold winter wax moon!

April 24th

After repairing the inn for a night, Chang Sheng and the others had to wait for the will today, and then enter the city lord's mansion.

In Taiyang City, there are 12 extremely prosperous streets, known as Taiyang 12th Street, each with different importances, such as called Tea Street, the street is full of tea stalls or dim sum shops from the south, and the people who come and go are also the pawns of the traders who like tea; There is also called Zhuangyuan Street, as the name suggests, most of the people gathered here are scholars who rush to take the exam, and there are a large number of stalls selling calligraphy and painting and fortune telling along the street; Naturally, there will be Taiyang Road leading directly to the palace, this road is the most deserted, and there are few people coming and going, because there are people living on this street, at least the red-robed officials above the five grades, in addition, there are antique streets specializing in the trading of antique cultural relics, the heavenly streets where the three sects and nine streams of the rivers and lakes gather, and the streets where horse merchants in the north come and go...... There are a total of twelve streets.

The location of Chang Sheng is the nearest Heavenly Street to Taiyang Road, this street is the most complicated street, it is different from other streets, because the Imperial Palace is located in the center of the city, and in the 12th Street, Heavenly Street is in addition to Taiyang Road, another street in the heart of the city.

There are everyone here, maybe a pawn on the road is a spy outside the plug, or an old man eating breakfast on the side of the street is the prime minister of the dynasty, of course, on this street, it is more likely that there are people from the rivers and lakes of three religions and nine streams.

"The saint's will!"

Outside the Tianjie Inn, the piercing sound woke up Chang Sheng and the others who were sleeping.

The middle-aged man who thought his father-in-law was dressed stood outside the inn, followed by two forbidden soldiers in armor.

His delicate and tender hands, gently holding a roll of yellow silk books, bowed his head respectfully, and waited for Chang Sheng in the inn, ready to read the will.

His piercing voice naturally alarmed the Jianghu people on the street, but after a while, outside the door of the Tianjie Inn, a large number of Jianghu people were attracted.

"Brother Tai, why are you all here?"

"The brothers are waiting to see the Red Flower City Lord."

"Red Flower City Lord? Who? ”

"You don't know this, this matter has been in a uproar yesterday, the sister of Chang An, the world's number one master, was regarded as the lord of Taiyang City by the emperor, and was given the name of the lord of the safflower city, when the lord of the safflower city entered the city yesterday, it attracted the miracle of a hundred birds and immortals, and now I am afraid that it has spread all over the world."

……

There were more and more people gathering outside the inn, and the father-in-law who was waiting outside the inn was also a little impatient, and he kept wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead.

"Squeak!"

It was a noisy street, but after the sound of pushing the door, it became silent.

Everyone on the lookers unconsciously held their breath, their eyes looked directly at the wooden door that was pushed open, and even the father-in-law, who had originally lowered his head, couldn't help but secretly raise his head.

A girl in a blue dress jumped in front of everyone, with a smile on her face, a refreshing smile made everyone feel like a spring breeze, three thousand green silk fell softly on her shoulders, and a pot of red buds in her hand was slim, like a beautiful fairy who fell into the world.

"Red Flower City Lord!"

Everyone was stunned, but in the crowd, someone suddenly seemed to react and saluted Chang Sheng.

As everyone woke up, the people in the rivers and lakes present laughed one after another, and they didn't care about the gaffe just now, and bowed to Chang Sheng

"Congratulations to the Red Flower City Lord."

Chang Sheng responded with a smile and saluted Ying Ying, the people in the rivers and lakes present.

"My little sister has just arrived, and I hope you will take care of me."

"Where is it, the city lord is polite, you are the sister of the head of the Chang family, that is, the sister of our people in the world, if you need it, you are bullied here, although you tell your brothers, bullying the sister of the Chang family is equivalent to bullying our people in the world, everyone says yes!"

In the crowd, someone suddenly shouted.

"Of course, bullying the Chang family girl is to slap us in the face!"

Others chimed in.

Immediately, everyone responded

"That's nature!"

For a while, the atmosphere on the street became lively, but some people were not happy, the father-in-law who was hanging aside, at this time lowered his head, his face was pale, and he was originally hung aside, which was already a thing that made him quite annoyed, and what made him even more chilling was that this newcomer to the Red Flower City Lord, as soon as he appeared on the scene, there were so many people who supported him, you know, even His Majesty the Human Emperor has never had such prestige in the rivers and lakes.

"Lord of Red Flower City, the will of the saint, please enter the palace and confer the title."

The father-in-law said with a chill in his eyes, gritted his teeth, and slowly handed over the yellow silk book in his hand.

Chang Sheng reacted at this time, realized that he had neglected this father-in-law, took the sage's will apologetically, and asked

"Dare to ask my father-in-law's surname, in the future in the capital, my little sister will rely on my father-in-law a lot."

As he spoke, when he took the silk book, he secretly stuffed a bag of silver into his father-in-law's hand.

The father-in-law was naturally an understanding person, and when he took the silver, his face was much better.

"The lower officials are strict, and they are eunuchs who promise the decree of Qing Yage, but they are idle officials who read the will by His Majesty's side, how can they help the city lord, your lordship is polite."

By the window on the second floor of the Tianjie Inn, Yan Sihai and Zhou Xi'er were quietly watching everything that happened outside the inn.

"This group of Jianghu people, did you also arrange to get off the horse?"

Zhou Xi'er looked at Yan Sihai quirkily and asked.

Yan Sihai stroked his beard and pretended to be profound

"It's not an arrangement, it's just that there was such a commotion outside the city yesterday, firstly, it is to give these officials a dismount, and secondly, it is equivalent to telling the world that Chang An's sister has entered Taiyang City, and with the prestige of these two brothers and sisters in the rivers and lakes now, it will naturally attract people from the rivers and lakes."

"But the eunuch who undertook the decree doesn't seem to be a good stubble, and his face is not good."

Zhou Xi'er looked at Yan Sihai and said again.

Yan Sihai sneered

"Naturally, some people don't welcome it, otherwise, the robbery and killing along the way must be instructed."

"But it's weird."

Zhou Xi'er said suddenly.

Yan Sihai was stunned

"What's strange."

"There didn't seem to be a eunuch before, why did this dynasty suddenly have the official position of eunuch."

Zhou Xi'er wondered.

Yan Sihai was originally from the rivers and lakes, and he didn't know anything about the affairs of the court, so he was surprised

"So what?"

Zhou Xier said

"The decrees of the emperors of all dynasties were read by personal eunuchs, and I have never heard of any eunuchs."

"How do you know that?"

Zhou Xi'er felt the strange gaze cast by Yan Sihai, and hurriedly snorted

"Didn't I tell you, my grandfather works in a big family, and he is also a scholar, and my father naturally knows a lot of things from my grandfather, and I heard my father say this."

Yan Sihai turned his head suspiciously, he naturally wouldn't believe all of Zhou Xi'er's words.

"Look! What is that! ”

Zhou Xi'er suddenly shouted.

Yan Sihai was suspicious, he was startled by Zhou Xi'er, and was about to scold him, but he saw that on the high sky of Tianjie, white money suddenly floated in!

"What bad thing?"

Yan Sihai frowned.

One, two, three, four...... On the lively street where people come and go, in the blue sky and white day, the sky above the heavenly street suddenly flutters a vast amount of dead money, drifting towards the direction of the inn!

Isn't that something that is thrown away at the time of mourning?

Naturally, everyone downstairs also felt the difference.

"Who's throwing this around?"

Someone suddenly pointed to the sky and scolded angrily, on today's big day when the Lord of Red Flower City was canonized, how could anyone be throwing such an obscure thing.

Rigor also changed his complexion suddenly, but he didn't speak.

On the lively heavenly street, suddenly silent, it seems that everyone has a tacit silence, and on the crowded street, pedestrians actually automatically separate an empty road.

Chang Sheng looked into the distance, but saw that on the empty road where pedestrians were separated, a girl dressed in white was holding a basket of dying money in one hand, and constantly grabbing the dying money with the other hand and throwing it into the air.

Pedestrians on the road saw that she was unlucky, and avoided her one after another, and formed an empty road.

The girl in white had a sad face, her eyes were full of hatred, and there were undried tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Why is there only this girl's family here to mourn, what about the people in this family?"

Yan Sihai frowned.

Chang Sheng downstairs also looked puzzled, but his rigorous complexion changed and changed, and finally sighed and didn't say anything.

"My lord, do you want to drive her away?"

The forbidden army behind him stepped forward and asked.

Who knows, "Smack!" With a sound, he slapped the forbidden army in the face.

"Blind your dog's eyes, this is the eldest lady of the Shangshu family in the military department, can you give me a try?"

When Chang Sheng heard this, he looked even more puzzled, so he asked

"Lord Yan, has anyone from this military department Shangshu died?"

Rigorous said with a flattering face

"That's not it, it's just that this eldest lady is in the capital, she is notoriously weird in temper, even Lord Shangshu has nothing to do with her, no, since last year, this eldest lady doesn't know what crazy she has smoked, and she runs to the street every once in a while, but Master Fu can't control her, who dares to offend, she will go, and now I don't know what evil I bumped into, and I met this mourning star!"

Chang Sheng was interested, and said

"I'm also a well-informed person, and now that I've come to the capital, I know that there are strange people."

Saying that, she actually walked up to the girl, and when everyone saw this, they panicked, and the rigor took her hand and said hurriedly

"Alas, my little ancestor, don't join in this fun, we still have to go to the palace to make a business."

Which Chang Sheng directly shook off his hand, ran to the front of Miss Fu, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile

"Hello, my name is Chang Sheng."

Miss Fu was as dead as ashes, she didn't seem to see Chang Sheng in front of her, her eyes looked ahead emptyly, and she said coldly

"Fuck off."

She brushed aside Chang Sheng in front of her and continued to walk forward.
