Shangguan Yun and Ke Qingqing galloped on horseback, and in only two or three pillars of incense, they arrived outside Xingyang City, but the city gate was closed early.

The two had no choice but to rush to the direction of Luoyang, walked out for more than ten miles, and saw some lights in the woods beside the road from a distance. When they got closer, they saw a few huts on the edge of the woods, and the two dismounted, intending to spend the night in the house.

When I came to the hut, there was no one in the courtyard, but it was very tidy, and there was no snow, so someone must have cleaned it often.

Shangguan Yun walked into the courtyard and said loudly, "Is there anyone?"

How did he know but no one responded, Shangguan Yun shouted twice, and the small door of the room in the middle opened, and an old woman in her sixties and seventies trembled and said, "What kind of person?" Although her face was old, her voice was very crisp, which was really strange.

Shangguan Yun said: "Mother-in-law, my brother and sister went to Luoyang, they were in a hurry and missed the accommodation, can they borrow it for one night?"

The old woman looked the two of them up and down a few times, and said, "Come in." ”

Shangguan Yun thanked Ke Qingqing, tied the snow in the corner of the courtyard, and then followed the old woman into the house.

The tables and stools in the room were in tatters, but they were still clean.

The old woman said, "Sit down, and I'll bring you some hot tea." Then he went into another room.

There were already four people in the house, Shangguan Yun had seen it, the burly man and the one-eyed man met at the Yingchang restaurant, but they didn't see the old man in black, and the other two were the ghost-faced Cui Huai and the demon hand Zhu Quan.

Shangguan Yun remembered the bloody scene of the Drunken Immortal Tower that day, and when he met these two demons at this time, he was inevitably uneasy in his heart.

Ke Qingqing didn't know Cui Zhu and the others, she nodded to the burly man and One-eyed, said hello, and pulled Shangguan Yun to sit down.

The old woman took a white porcelain teapot and two teacups, she poured the tea, and said with a smile: "Drink it, it's cold, drink some hot tea to warm up." ”

Shangguan Yun secretly glanced at Ke Qingqing, and Ke Qingqing also suspected that the tea was poisonous, so he held the teacup, but he didn't drink it, and asked, "Mother-in-law, are you alone at home?"

Shangguan Yun quietly took the silver needle, as if he was holding a cup and covering his hands, but he was using the silver needle to test the tea.

The old woman said: "And my old man, more than ten years ago, our boy died on the battlefield, and he didn't leave a little incense, leaving only us two old guys to grow some crops to survive." These four guests, like you, have come to spend the night. ”

Ke Qingqing asked again, "Why don't you see your husband come out?"

The old woman sighed: "He has been paralyzed for several years. ”

Ke Qingqing sighed as if he had realized, and saw Shangguan Yun nodding secretly, knowing that the tea was not poisonous. She took a small sip lightly, only to feel that the tea was fragrant, and the entrance was mellow and fragrant, which was actually the best tea for producing self-confidence.

The old woman put down the teapot and said, "You drink some tea first, and the old woman will make some food." ”

Shangguan Yun got up and said, "Thank you, mother-in-law." ”

After the old woman left, Shangguan Yun said again: "Qingqing, I haven't eaten forage for almost a day since I stepped on the snow, you accompany me to take a look." ”

Ke Qingqing understood, said yes, and the two walked outside the house.

There were a few bundles of hay in the courtyard, which were usually used by the old woman to start the fire, Shangguan Yun grabbed a few handfuls, put them in front of the snow, and said softly: "Qingqing, I saw the two people with hideous faces and sick people three years ago, they are both devils who kill people without blinking, but I am afraid that the other two are not good." If we leave like this, it will inevitably make people suspicious, you and I must be careful, and if we have the opportunity, we will flee quickly. ”

Ke Qingqing nodded and said, "Brother Yun, this mother-in-law is not like an ordinary person, and she can't be taken lightly. ”

Shangguan Yunqi said: "I have tried the tea, there is no poison, we have no enmity or grudge against her, how can it harm us?"

Ke Qingqing said: "We drink the set of kiln white porcelain, which is what ordinary people in this wilderness can afford? The tea is also the best tea that produces self-confidence and yang, but I am afraid that the state capitals may not be able to drink it, and when we enter the house, you will look at the hoe and iron plough hanging on the wall in the corner of the house." ”

When they entered the house again, they saw rust on the hoe and the iron plow.

The weather in the north is dry, and there will never be so many rust spots, and it is obvious that the hoe and iron plough have not been used for many years, but the old woman said that they grow crops to survive, which is obviously not true.

Fortunately, the tea was non-toxic, so the two could only wait and see what happened, and drank it slowly with a teacup.

Before the half pot of tea was drunk, I heard someone outside the courtyard shouting: "Master, I was in a hurry, I couldn't enter the city, there is no inn here, it is very cold outside, can you discuss and let me borrow a night?"

I saw a man standing in the courtyard with a sword in his hand, but the light was dim and he couldn't see clearly.

When the old woman heard the movement, she walked outside the door and said, "If this noble man is not too simple, come in and sit down." ”

The man arched his hand and said, "I'm bothered." With that, he walked into the house.

This man is in his early twenties, he is tall, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, he is really a talent, and he looks even more graceful in white. If this person is talking about whom, Shangguan Yun still recognizes it, it is Jin Tianze, the son of Jin Wancheng who sent Jin Cheng.

Shangguan Yun's appearance has changed greatly in the past three years, and Jin Tianze hasn't recognized it yet, but the appearance of the ghost-faced Cui Huai and the demon-faced Zhu Quan is weird, how can it be unrecognizable?

Jin Tianze drew his sword out of the sheath and said hatefully: "In the past few years, I haven't been able to find you two demons everywhere, and I didn't expect you to send them to the door by yourself." ”

Before Cui Zhu and the others could make a move, the one-eyed man jumped up, and he shouted, "Who are you?

Jin Tianze was stunned, he hurriedly withdrew from the door, and said coldly: "It turned out to be you demons, this son will kill demons and demons today, and use you to practice your hands." ”

The one-eyed man held on to a ghost-headed knife, chased it out in two steps, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, if you don't do it yourself, you can still turn the sky up with you as a stinky kid." ”

The two of them put on a posture and were about to make a move, but the old woman shouted in the house: "If you are staying overnight, the cold house is welcome, and if you want to fight, please go farther, so as not to stain my rooms with blood and water." Her voice was not loud, but several people inside and outside the house could hear it clearly, as if she was saying it in her ear, obviously her internal strength was not low.

"Stinky boy, I don't care about you today, if you dare to provoke again, you will die without a place to be buried. The one-eyed man spoke harshly, but he stopped and went back into the house.

"You demons are crooked, if you have the ability, you will come out to fight the male, and my son is not afraid of you. Jin Tianze didn't dare to enter the house again, and he didn't want to leave, so he stayed outside the courtyard.

The one-eyed man also ignored it and asked, "Cui Huai, Zhu Quan, who is he?"

Zhu Quan was very afraid of this one-eyed, he looked at one-eyed, then looked at Cui Huai, and did not speak.

Cui Huaizhan trembled and said: "Deputy envoy, that person is the only son of Jin Wancheng of the Jincheng faction, named Jin Tianze. ”

The one-eyed man couldn't hold it back, he suddenly stood up, wanting to go out and fight Jin Tianze.
