The country is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the four seasons are warm and moist, and there are few cold times.

Yinyang is in the middle of the border, and for more than 300 years, it has never carried snow.

Leizhou is located in the southwest of Dahua, although it is not a cold place, but it also has several snowfalls every year. At this time, it is already the waxing moon, and the season of frost and snow has arrived.

"Childe, when I first went down, I heard the shopkeeper say that there is snow tonight!" Mu Yu said with a smile.

In order not to attract people's eyes, Duanmu Yu is named Yang Lan on this trip, and he is the eldest son of the Yang family, a hidden family in Pinan County, while Yu Lingyi and a group of guards are incarnated as the guest Qing of the Yang family, and the group is out to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

"Hehe, Mu Wei, we haven't seen snow yet. I'll go to bed later tonight and see if I can see the snow. Duanmuyu poured him a cup of hot tea and laughed softly.

Although they have been practicing martial arts for many years, after all, they have lived in southern Xinjiang for a long time, and the weather in Leizhou is really a little cold for them. Being able to drink a cup of hot tea can ward off the cold a lot.

"Knock! knock!" The two were chatting, and Yu Lingyi knocked on the door and walked in.

He walked quickly towards Duanmu Yu, his face solemn.

"Mr. Yu, your face is not very good, but you are not used to this cold weather, let's drink a cup of hot tea to warm up first!" Duanmu Yu also lifted the teapot and poured him a cup.

Although the two did not practice the gift of master and apprentice, Yu Lingyi had the practice of teaching Duanmuyu, and before ascending the throne, Duanmuyu often treated each other with the courtesy of respecting the teacher in private.

Yu Lingyi didn't go over to drink tea, but only stood three or four steps in front of him, bowed down and reported: "Childe, Xu Qigong just sent someone to summon the interrogation, saying that they were on night patrol and found that there were suspicious people around the inn, and the number was still being checked, so let's be vigilant." ”

Duanmu Yu frowned, slowly lowered his head, thoughtful.

"This Xu Yigong is really a character, we have been here for most of the day, but he has been looking for me, he is helping us clean up the small suppers outside, hehe..."

Before he had seen it, he had already developed a crush on him.

"An Wuyu once told me that the three generations of the Xu family are full of talents, and Xu Xiaoyi's son Xu Yuye's martial arts are the highest, that is, An Wuyu himself, and he does not dare to win within five hundred moves. However, as the first martial arts family in Dahua, the Xu family has always regarded Xu Yigong as the young head of the family, and everything in the clan can be done in large and small ways

Participation, it can be seen that this person is by no means easy to deal with. Yu Lingyi replied, "I have met him a few times, and I feel that this person is calm, introverted, and delicate, and can be used by the son." ”

The true details and schemes of the Xu family are almost unknown in the rivers and lakes, and there are very few people in the entire clan. Xu Xiaoyu was able to entrust the important task of contacting the emperor of the Turkic Kingdom to Xu Yigong, which naturally showed that he was a person in the know.

In the past ten years, the Dahua officials have been decaying, the country is declining, and the people's hearts are gradually dispersed.

The Xu family sent Xu Yigong, and the An family sent An Ruqing, both of whom were leaders in their respective families.

An Ruqing adheres to his father's usual hidden style, and has a full view of the movements of the entire northern part of Dahua, but he has always played the role of a spectator.

Before the Turkic killers entered the capital, An Ruqing got accurate information in advance. However, he did not sell this invaluable secret report to anyone, but secretly cleared the way for them to enter the city.

Duanmu Yu asked people to dig the Pingzhou Dam, but he just withdrew the people from the Star Pavilion in advance.

King Yun's Mansion, the Salt Gang, and the Nine Palaces besieged and killed Xia Muren in Pingshangyuan, and almost all the elites of the three parties were exhausted, how could such a movement easily hide from the eyes of other forces? It was also An Ruqing who quietly knocked out most of the secret sentinels to cover their actions.

Xia Muyan was such a cautious person, how could he not be wary of Xia Chengxuan's conspiracy with Zhang Suiguang? However, the secret agents he sent to the Jaw Palace, Ling Chengzhai, were cut off by the people of the Star Picking Pavilion at the last moment. If the letter cannot be communicated, then the upper cannot be reached, and the lower cannot be attained. No matter how careful Xia Muyan's mind is, he has become a closed person, he has a plan but can't do it, and he can't use it.

Contrary to An Ruqing, Xu Yigong was active in the capital six years ago as the young master of the Xu family in Ruozhou, not only opening brothels and gambling houses, but also running restaurants and establishing silver accounts, and wandering between the political and business elites of Dahua. The turmoil in the Dahua Dynasty was indispensable to the "merits" of the Xu family -- to make the hostile ministers attack each other with their interests and disadvantages; and to induce the eunuchs of the alliance to balance each other with their gains and losses. Although the three kings have no intention of fighting against each other, it is difficult to stop the open and secret fighting between the three factions' vassals.

Xu Qigong's ability to observe words and expressions is excellent, and he can often do what officials like: those who should send money will give money, those who should give away people will give away, and those who want to be famous will try every means to make him famous...

After so many years, so can Chenchen

If you become a courtier, a clean official will become a corrupt official, and a capable official will become a corrupt official... If you encounter an upright official, you will also be transferred to an inconsequential position as much as possible.

If he can't catch up, like Mei Siyuan, his usual practice is to kill. Xu Yigong sent people to Jinzhou to assassinate Mei Siyuan four times, but unfortunately it never succeeded. After all, he still has to continue to lurk, he can't send his own lineage, how can ordinary killers easily break through the defenses around Mei Siyuan?

Fortunately, Mei Siyuan still died, which made Xu Yigong feel a lot more at ease. Today outside the Inn, he actually saw his son Mei Yuanchen, which really taught him an accident.

Xu Qigong admits that he is not a person who kills indiscriminately, and everyone he kills is a person he feels he has to kill. Mei Yuanchen is not a member of the court, if it didn't hinder what he did on this trip, Xu Qigong had no intention of killing him.

He didn't know if Mei Yuanchen was in the way, but the group of black-clothed people lurking outside the inn were already in the way.

A few months ago, Xu Xiaoyu had told him all about the origins of the Xu, An, and Chen families and the alliance between the three families and the emperor of the Turkic State. As the grandson of the Xu family, he took over the responsibility of welcoming Duanmuyu and his party.

The stakes are so important that there must be no room for mistakes. Shicai's cronies came to report that there were dozens of black-clothed people moving within a radius of two or three miles from the Inn, which made Xu Qigong have to tighten his strings.

"Nine Palaces, others are afraid of you, but my Xu family is not afraid! If you dare to come, I will let none of you go back!"

"Knock! knock!" the knock on the door disrupted Xu Qigong's thoughts.

An old man behind him walked over and opened the door, and it was a middle-aged man with a short beard who entered.

"Young master, it's done. It is the hands of the Nine Palaces, a total of thirty-seven people, all of whom have been dealt with. ”

Xu Qigong nodded and ordered: "Xu Jiu, you keep an eye on it, and ensure that it is absolutely safe within a radius of ten miles." ”

The middle-aged man named Xu Jiu held his sword, and Zheng Sheng replied: "My subordinates understand. ”

... ...

After Xu Jiu left, Xu Qigong got up from Pu Pa and walked to the window, gently pushing the window open.

As soon as the window door opened, a cold wind poured in.

"It's snowing, let's go and deliver a few pieces of rice to the distinguished guests from the south. ”
