In 1279 A.D. (to the 16th year of the Yuan Dynasty), the winter solstice arrived as scheduled, and most of the cities finally ushered in the first snow.

The white snowflakes disturbed one after another, fluttering in the streets and alleys of Dadu with the wind, and soon, the entire Dadu was wrapped in a layer of white armor, and as far as the eye could see, the majestic capital covered in silver was like a silver-white dragon, quietly dormant on this land.

Perhaps because the weather was so cold, there was hardly a single figure on the streets of the entire capital.

......

After a while, two staggering figures appeared on the silver-white street, and a thick layer of snowflakes fell on them, and as they moved, the snowflakes "fell" down, and behind them was a long series of footprints, but soon the footprints were covered by the falling snowflakes.

Everything went back to normal, as if no one had ever walked around here.

When I got closer, I saw an ugly old woman supporting a sick old man walking slowly, looking at his appearance, it seemed to be a couple. After a while, the two of them came to the front of a small shop by the street.

The old woman looked up and knocked on the door of the shop, her technique was very strange, knocking a total of five times, with two interludes in between.

"Bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang"

After knocking, she cautiously looked around and waited quietly.

After a while, I only heard a "creak", the door was opened a crack, and an ordinary-looking middle-aged man's head poked out from it. ”

The old woman looked at him and whispered, "Just one bed." ”

The door of the small shop opened quickly, revealing a middle-aged man in coarse linen clothes, and hurriedly welcomed the two in, and then probed to determine the surrounding situation, and quickly closed the door.

When I entered the small shop, I found that there was a hole here, it was actually a courtyard of dozens of square meters, and in the courtyard was a two-story dark red pavilion.

"You go get busy, I'll go up by myself!"

In the courtyard, the old woman let go of the hand holding the old man and said a word to the middle-aged man, and the voice actually sounded a little young.

"Yes!"

The middle-aged man answered calmly, and walked to a room on the first floor of the pavilion, and soon walked in and disappeared from the sight of the two.

"Let's go!"

The old woman watched the middle-aged man disappear, turned her head and said to the old man beside her and walked towards the second floor of the pavilion.

......

In a simple room, the old man and the old woman took off their coat and shook the snow on their bodies, and then the old woman wiped it on her ears, and tore off a thin piece of human skin from her face, and suddenly a beautiful face was revealed, it was actually Meng Furong, the old man hesitated for a moment, and also ripped off the same thing from his face, revealing his somewhat pale face, it was Gu Changqing.

Meng Furong glanced at Gu Changqing and said to herself: "I didn't expect to come back here again, life is really full of accidents!"

Gu Changqing looked at her and said a little unnaturally: "Thank you, you saved my life again!"

Meng Furong laughed at herself and said, "I didn't expect you to be the little beggar back then. ”

Gu Changqing said with a hint of remembrance: "Even I didn't expect it, by the way, what are you going to do in the future?"

A fierce light flashed in Meng Furong's eyes, and she said, "Avenge Boss Fu and Chu He!" As soon as she thought that Boss Fu and Chu He had died because of herself, she was full of guilt.

Seeing her like this, Gu Changqing said helplessly: "I told you that the Gong brothers are dead. ”

Meng Furong said stubbornly: "I know, but what about the people behind them? he is the culprit, he is the most damned person." ”

Gu Changqing was speechless and said, "He is indeed the culprit, but it is also for the court, besides, how can you fight him alone?"

Meng Furong looked at him with some hatred, and said, "For the sake of the court, you are foolish, do you think everyone is the same as you?"

Gu Changqing was stunned for a moment, to be honest, he also had other suspicions, but before there was no evidence, he didn't want to wronged anyone, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "I will investigate this matter clearly, and I will give you an explanation, after all, this matter started because of me." ”

Meng Furong turned her head and said, "Since you know, let's heal your injuries here first!"

Gu Changqing looked at her and opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't open his mouth after all, just sighed slightly.

"I know what you're trying to say, and I know you want to go back, but you should know very well that you can't go back now, at least some people don't want you to go back. ”

Meng Furong looked at his expression, and it was already understood.

Gu Changqing's expression was grim, and he said with a wry smile: "Indeed, I just hope they don't fan the flames." ”

He is not a fool, since the Gong brothers followed him to Lingtai Town, he has already understood in his heart, but he has never understood the reason for this.

Meng Furong suddenly smiled and whispered, "Do you believe it in your own heart?" as if she was talking to herself, as if she was asking Gu Changqing, and after speaking, she didn't wait for Gu Changqing to answer, so she walked out.

Gu Changqing looked at her back in a daze, yes, do you believe it in your heart? The answer is no, because he has no reason to believe it.

Coming out of Gu Changqing's room, Meng Furong looked at the snowflakes falling in the sky, took a deep breath, and walked towards the first floor of the pavilion.

Soon, she came to a room on the first floor of the attic, which was simply furnished, but not dimly lit.

Meng Furong walked to the desk in the room, casually pressed it somewhere under the desk, only to hear a "click" sound, and saw that there was an extra passage in the room, without any hesitation, Meng Furong walked directly to the passage, and as she entered, the room returned to its original appearance.

At the end of the passage was a secret room, in which a slender woman wearing a narrow sleeved short shirt and a floor-length skirt had her back to Meng Furong and sighed softly, "You are back after all." ”

Although the voice is very good, it is unusually calm, and the calm makes people feel a little indifferent.

"Yes, I'm back after all!" Meng Furong looked at the woman's back with a complicated face, and said, "Master, don't you still want to forgive Furong?"

"I actually brought back a sick man, if I guessed correctly, he should be Gu Changqing, who has chased the wind for thousands of miles, right?" The woman did not turn around, nor did she answer Meng Furong's question, but asked calmly.

Meng Furong opened her mouth, and before she could speak, the woman said, "Don't forget his identity!"

Meng Furong frowned and said, "I believe in him." ”

Hearing Meng Furong's answer, the woman was shocked, and she didn't speak, and the atmosphere in the secret room was suddenly a little embarrassing.

After a while, Meng Furong softly clenched her fists and said, "Disciple retire!" As she spoke, she gently took a few steps back before turning to leave. The expression is very respectful, for the master, Meng Furong has always been respectful, without her, there would be no today.

The woman listened to the footsteps in the distance, turned around slowly, and said to herself with a solemn expression: "Could it be that I am wrong?"

The woman is about forty years old, although the years have left shallow traces on her fair cheeks, it is not difficult to see that she was definitely a stunning beauty when she was young, she is the master of Meng Furong - Wen Kexin, known as the "cold-faced sable cicada" in the rivers and lakes.
