Chuliu Fengyang Xizhen went all the way north, and after the two passed Xuzhou, the weather became colder and colder.

The north wind carried the heavy snow, and there was a white expanse everywhere, only the ruts and horseshoe prints on the official road, with a little life.

"We rode fast all the way, but we still haven't caught up with Gang Leader Chen's Cao transport fleet."

Chu Liufeng looked towards the Grand Canal in the distance, there were very few boats on the river, and most of them were heading south.

"The canal is about to freeze, the weather is cold earlier this year, they must be in a hurry to rush to Beijing, don't worry, do you have to be the official of this Laoshizi."

Zhenzhen pursed his lips and took a sip of the wine gourd on the horse's back.

"Oops! It's much warmer now, the ancestors invented this liquor, it seems that it is used to keep out the cold in winter, thanks to the ancestors for thousands of years. ”

Chu Liufeng couldn't laugh, and he was always nervous in his heart.

"Don't keep a straight face, didn't you just accompany me to Suzhou Mansion, delaying you to accompany the woman who became a nun to the north, I don't think you are chasing the Cao Yun fleet, obviously you just want to catch up with her ship."

The snowflakes hit his face, and some of them were stuffed into his neck, Chu Liufeng felt a little cold, and hurriedly resisted.

"Say whatever you want, Miss Yang! I made a friend like you, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. ”

"Shut your mouth, hum!"

I was really a little unhappy, urging thousands of miles to chase the wind and rush forward.

"Master is right, it's trouble to make friends with a woman, is she like this?"

Chu Liufeng muttered to himself as he looked up at the sky.

There was nothing but snow, only the sound of falling snowflakes and the dull sound of horses' hooves stepping in the snow.

At this moment, a crisp birdsong came, and two blackbirds could be seen flying quickly to the north in mid-air, and there was a person sitting on them.

What is this, could it be him, Chu Liufeng thought of the yellow fir boy in Lotus Peak.

"It's a bird with a small face, Chu Liufeng, look, he's in the sky, can you see us?"

Zhenzhen pointed to the sky excitedly and shouted loudly.

More snowflakes were falling in the wind, and where were the birds, the chirping they had just heard was getting farther and farther away.

Yang Xi was really a little distracted, still staring at the snow, and didn't say a word for a long time.

"Xiao Wanyan? Is he called Wanyan? ”

Chu Liufeng's face changed slightly, and he looked at Yang Xizhen with a smile.

"I heard that the Jinqing gang leader outside the Guanwai has reverted to his surname, is it true?"

"What is it? He is the son of Wanyan Hongjin, the leader of the Jinqing gang, what's the matter, his father is his father, and his son is his son. ”

Zhenzhen shouted loudly, and kicked Chu Liufeng again.

"That's right, Xiao Wanyan looks very good."

Chu Liufeng thought about it and said.

"You don't seem to be stupid, you know some big things right and wrong, we can't catch up with the Cao transport fleet, you can't catch up with the little woman, and the birds of Wanyan Gongzi have also flown away.

Let's not run away in the wind and snow like this, let's go to Jinan Mansion in front, go eat some roast chicken and drink a pot of hot wine, isn't it? ”

Zhenzhen was thinking about roast chicken and good wine, and his face was no longer distracted, and he was urging thousands of miles to chase the wind forward.

——————

Jinan Mansion, the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, has been born of saints for thousands of years, and the poetry and etiquette are the best in the world.

"Master Lu!"

"A tavern, it's actually like that, and the view next to it is really good."

Zhenzhen poured himself a drink, chewing authentic roast chicken in his mouth.

The snow had stopped, the sky was as blue as a wash, and the sun was shining down, and the snow on the ground melted all at once.

The Daming Lake next to Master Lu's Tavern is full of blue waves, and the lake is quiet, reflecting the Thousand Buddha Mountain in the distance, making people think that this is still the south of the Yangtze River.

"Don't be stupid to watch, I'll eat this roast chicken alone."

"You can just eat, if you don't have enough, add another one!"

Chu Liufeng smiled, as if the fatigue along the way had been digested by the scenery and food.

It's a pity that he doesn't drink, or he would feel better.

——————

"Hey! If you don't drink this wine, you can use wine to eliminate your sorrows, and draw a knife to cut off the water and make the water flow! ”

At the table next to him, a young man in white slammed his wine glass on the table, his face full of sadness.

Yang Xi was really on the rise, and he was about to have a seizure, Chu Liufeng hurriedly pulled the placket of her clothes.

With a bang, Yang Xizhen's wine glass also knocked on the wooden table, and the table top was concave, but he didn't have the power to enter the wood.

"He doesn't know martial arts, where did you get your temper, and you still compete with others, Miss Yang."

Chu Liufeng laughed, really ignored it, but turned to look at the table.

The young man in white was surrounded by two old men, who should be dressed and behaved by the government, although they were not wearing official uniforms.

I'm here to see what you're worried about, I'm really interested.

"Don't worry about the prince, in the past two or three years, the Dongchang eunuch party has been staring at the Shandong territory, even if the boss doesn't have this difficulty, sooner or later there will be more trouble."

"What Lord Liu said is extremely true, the responsibility for the fire of the Cao Yun fleet lies in the Jiangnan Cao Yun Envoy, unfortunately, who let it happen in the Shandong territory, the boss was implicated, of course, he can't get rid of it, at most he can take off this black gauze hat."

After the other old man finished speaking in a low voice, Chu Liufeng and Yang Xizhen both had a change in complexion.

"The prince has just been hit by this lift, and he is also famous, the boss, don't get involved anymore, you are implicated, and the boss is unwilling to see it."

The man in white sighed and raised his glass to drink.

"For more than 200 years since Taizu in this dynasty, it is the three surnames that dominate all living beings in this sea, and now it seems that there is another surname Wei to fill in.

I, Li Xin, am a seven-foot man, seeing that the government is unfair, the traitors are in charge, and the situation at home is about to change color, how can I serve the country! ”

"Childe is loyal, but he still has to forbear. What do you mean by three surnames? The old man should listen to him. ”

The old man was very humble to Li Xin, this Li Xin was promoted at a young age, the old man they were talking about should be Li Xin's father, could it be that his father was the governor of Shandong?

Chu Liufeng and Yang Xi were really a little flustered, but they continued to listen patiently.

"The Son of Heaven of the Zhu Family in Fengyang, Anhui, Zhang Tianshi of the Heavenly Master Dao of Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi, and the Confucian Sage of Qufu, Shandong.

Who in the world can match it? ”

Li Xin, a young man in white, said, his expression was calm, and his eyebrows were not only frank and righteous.

"Love is not long, wisdom will hurt!

Don't think so much about it, there is a way in the world, people follow it, there is no way in the world, and someone will replace it. ”

The other old man's voice was even lower, and he sighed after speaking.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

A sneer suddenly came, giving people goosebumps.

"You old man, that is to say, Zhu Chongba's more than 200 years of country have come to an end, who will continue to do it?

More than ten years ago, it was rumored in the Jiangnan area that those who won the world were either surnamed Li or Zhao, could it be that you were the son of Li Jingbai, the son of Li Xin and the son of Li Xin? ”

After the sneer, someone said loudly.

The dozen or so tables in the tavern that were eating and talking about wine disappeared without a trace, and Li Xin, a young man in white, and the two old men at the same table were also gone.

"Why don't you two go?"

The voice asked.

"Yan Wuji, you came to Jinan Mansion again to cause trouble, and scared away the officials and ordinary people, and I'm still afraid that you won't succeed.

You're demagoguery everywhere, and be careful of being caught. ”

Zhenzhen scolded with a smile, and went to find Yan Wuji, there were only two people in Master Lu's tavern, she and Chu Liufeng, where was Yan Wuji's shadow.

"Little baby! You are not afraid of death, old man, I am still afraid of death. ”

The voice came from a distance, and Yan Wuji was already gone.

——————

"It seems that something really happened to the Cao Transport fleet, and I can't get out of it, who is Li Jingbai that Yan Wuji said?"

Chu Liufeng had a headache, looking at the water of Daming Lake, he no longer had the interest he had before.

"You, the supernumerary petty official of the Jiangnan Caoyun Envoy Division, have not yet been promoted to become rich, but you are thinking about taking responsibility first, I really admire you, Chu Liufeng!"

"Li Jingbai! The secretary of the military department and the governor of Shandong, the white-clothed son Li Xin is the son of Li Jingbai. ”

Zhenzhen is still slowly drinking hot wine and nibbling on roast chicken.

At this time, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside, and more than a dozen people in black had already gone up to the roof of Master Lu's tavern.

"Take them all, don't even think about running a single one!"

A voice shouted.

Chu Liufeng's face really changed now, and when he went to see Yang Xizhen again, he was still nibbling on roast chicken and drinking wine.

She was also light and light, and she didn't even look at the soldiers and black-clothed people who came around outside.
