On the border of the extralegal land, a small village called "Ping'an Village" appeared. At first, it was a pitifully shabby. The gate is made of poplar branches, the walls are made of stone, and the roof is made of thatch. As soon as the desert wind and sand came, the small village was crumbling.

There are only three people in the village: a Taoist priest, who is responsible for treating people and treating injuries.

A one-armed young man who doubles as a cook and bodyguard.

A girl who does all the chores.

At first, no one knew what the stockade was for. Until one day, a peasant who had escaped from the law collapsed in front of the door, and the people in the stockade immediately took him in. When he went out to meet people, he said that it was called "Ping'an Village" and it was a relief house.

As long as they have escaped from a place outside the law, they will receive them all. Provide a bed, a bowl of brown rice, and some bitter well water.

Sometimes the thugs are red-eyed and chase them out of the lawless land, and the one-armed swordsman will send them away.

No one has ever seen a knife man strike. As soon as he went there, his opponent fell. Some say he knows how to do magic spells, others say it's because his knife is too fast.

Ping'an Village slowly became famous, and more and more people rushed there. or seek asylum, or search for a missing loved one. Among them were carpenters, bricklayers, and practitioners who knew a few kung fu. These people rebuilt the stockade and formed a night vigil and a patrol. They saved more people.

The imperial court's "extralegal land order" would only last for three months. When the time comes, the land will return to tranquility and people will be able to return home.

However, it backfired, and what they were waiting for was the news of the indefinite extension of the "extralegal land order". Clear-eyed people can see that the court wants King Qin's head, and they won't stop until they get the news.

If the decree is not revoked for a day, the village will be kept for a day.

"Xiao Li, it's a shift change!"

With the arrival of the two men, Li Yan withdrew from the guard tower. Now there are more than 100 people in Ping'an Village, all of whom perform their duties, which is much easier than at the beginning.

He went back to his room, but he couldn't sleep, he always felt that something was going to happen. The moonlight shone on the window lattice, and suddenly there was a "meow" call outside.

Li Remnant got up, and a snow-white cat squatted by the window. He recognized that it was the snow ball that helped him escape from the dungeon. Although it is a reunion after a long absence, Li Yan is a little afraid of it. He still remembers the cat's horrified smile when they parted.

At this moment, Xuetuan squinted his eyes and licked his paws, looking harmless to humans and animals.

Li Yan reluctantly greeted, "You...... Hello, why are you here?"

Xue Tuan suddenly glanced at him with blazing eyes, turned around and jumped outside. Li Yan hesitated for a moment, but finally followed out. The snow ball led him out of the stockade and walked in the opposite direction of the lawless land.

As I walked, all of a sudden, it became foggy.

The billowing white mist surrounded them, and the snow masses appeared and disappeared in front of them, occasionally calling twice to guide Li Yan's direction.

Li Yan felt that the soil under his feet had changed, it was originally gravel, but before he knew it, it had turned into hard pebbles.

The air is also moist, almost not like the climate in the desert, but like a water town.

In a trance, he suddenly saw a delicate pond and a small courtyard surrounded by green bamboo. The snow ball jumped and slipped through the crack in the door. It's like some hermit's house. Tranquil atmosphere.

But Li Yan felt that something was not right.

Not to mention bamboo, ponds and pebbles, these things will never be found in the desert.

Where had he never been to a hundred miles away? How had he ever seen this small courtyard?

But it seems a little inappropriate to leave. Li Yan instinctively felt that the owner of the yard would tell him some important information.

The door opened suddenly. Snow poked its head out and beckoned its claws. This action is exactly the same as a person, but Li Yan is no longer surprised, and pushes the door and walks in.

There was a man sitting on the bamboo chair facing the door, smiling at him.

Li Yan exclaimed "ah", he knew this person. This is autumn leaves.

The red leaves are still wearing a phoenix crown and a silk veil, dressed as a bride. But there was no joy on her face, only indifference and numbness. Even the smile on Li Yan was cold.

Li Yan said: "Madam, you saved me in Huating Mansion, right?"

Hongye nodded, pointed to the terrible wound on his neck, spread out the pen and paper and wrote: "Zhang Siming wanted to kill me, but I was rescued. The man cut my throat and released poisonous blood, and although I was spared, I could no longer speak. ”

There was a brazier burning on the ground. After Hongye showed the handwriting to Li Yan, he immediately threw it into the fire, leaving no trace at all.

Li Yan woke up and said: "So you left the handkerchief because you want us to find Siming for you!"

"It's not you. It's you. You have a reason to help me. ”

Li Yan said: "I should indeed help you." But having said that, I don't know where he is. ”

"Someone knows. "Momiji untied half of the jade pendant from his waist. "Take it and give it to a woman named Yuhan in Huangzhou City. She will take you to Zhang Siming. ”

"Rain and cold...... I've seen her, she's your sister?"

"Not bad. I'm afraid this stupid girl still thinks that Siming is our benefactor. You just give her the jade pendant and she will understand everything. ”

Li Yan took the jade pendant and said, "Okay, I'll leave now." ”

But Momiji suddenly put his index finger to his lips and motioned for him not to make a sound. There was a gentle footstep outside.

Momiji looked nervous and pouted under the bed. Although Li Yan didn't know why, he still hid in it.

The door opened, and he saw a pair of boots walk in, and a shrill voice rang out.

"Lady, do you miss me?"

Li Yan immediately regretted it. It seems to be Momiji's husband who came. Now it's like I'm a thief who cheats.

He wanted to explain, but it was hard to convince. If nothing happens, why go under the bed?

Li Yan could only pray that the eldest brother would leave quickly. But there was only a click, the boots were taken off, and the man sat down on the bed.

Li Yan's heart was beating wildly, and he hurriedly held his breath.

I only heard the man say: "Lady, I have been doing big things in Huangzhou City recently, don't blame me for snubbing you." ”

The paper rustled, and Momiji seemed to have written a few words with a pen. The man said, "It doesn't hurt to tell you. Now that I have controlled most of the dead in the morning mist, I will soon be able to take the entire Huangzhou City. But ......"

After a pause, he continued, "Those group of fire-worshippers from Persia are a bit of a hindrance, and we must find a way to get rid of them. ”

I don't know what happened to the red leaves, but the man said proudly: "Where else are the 'four plagues'?

The 'Tsunami' was defeated and committed suicide, you know that. The third 'Shanhu' is missing, and it is likely that he has slipped away. As for the mysterious 'Sky Collapse' who has never shown his face, I don't know if there is really such a person.

I'm the only one who has the last laugh!"

Li Yan was shocked. thought: It turns out that this person is Yan Shu's junior brother, the second of the four disasters 'earth split'. I don't know why Momiji married him.

I only heard the 'Earth Split' continue: "On the day the 'Extralegal Land Order' came into effect, I started an incident in the Qin Palace. However, although I moved fast, I was finally a step slower, and the little fox had already escaped.

His four generals had infighting, Lao Bai and Lao Song beat each other to death, only your sister is a smart person, cut off General Fang's head and sacrifice it to me. Don't look at her cold words to me in the past, now that I'm in power, it's too late for this little hoof to stammer.

Wife...... I want to discuss something with you, and when I get something great, how about marrying your sister too?

Li Yan didn't know what Momiji's expression was, but he saw that her legs were trembling slightly. This is how people react when they are extremely angry.

The sound of writing rustled again. After a while, the 'earth crack' laughed and said, "Okay, good! If you have a wife who is virtuous and virtuous, what more can you ask for?" I was afraid that you would not want to, but I didn't expect you to think so long-term. It is said that the eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister should be like a mother. If you persuade her well, she will definitely understand your hard work! When I dominate Huangzhou and win the title of 'Martial Saint' rewarded by the imperial court, then you two sisters can be Mrs. Decree, hahaha......"

"Ground Crack" was full of ambition and laughed wildly. But suddenly, the laughter stopped, and his tone became fierce and suspicious.

"No, why is your expression so ugly? Do you think I'm not worthy of your sister? Or ...... I know, you, you used to have an affair with a kid surnamed Zhang, and you still think about him. Isn't it?"

As soon as the words fell, he heard a crisp sound of "pop", and he should have slapped Momiji's face.

But Momiji still sat like that, and he didn't move an inch under his feet. Li Chuan thought to himself: If this guy is angry and hurts others, he will stop him even if he is misunderstood.

At this time, the "earth split" said: "No...... I was negligent just now, but there has always been a strange smell in this house...... This is the smell of a man! Wow, you actually steal a man behind my back!"

With only the sound of a brush, he seemed to draw his weapon. Li Zhan just wanted to make a move, but saw a cloud of white light passing in front of him, and it was a snow ball that had been hiding in the corner and rushed out.

"Earth Crack" claims to be a rat in his life, and the most feared thing is the cat. This time he was caught off guard, and he was so frightened that his soul flew out of the sky, screaming and fleeing.

Only then did Li Yan get out from under the bed, blushing and saying, "I'...... I didn't mean to eavesdrop. ”

Momiji really had a red slap mark on his face. But she looked like she pulled open the drawer and pressed it underneath. The bluestone floor in the house suddenly cracked, revealing a secret passageway.

Momiji wrote: "This secret passage leads to Huangzhou City. I'll leave my business to you. ”

Li Zanan nodded: "Sister Hongye, I, Li Zan, will definitely do what I say." He walked in without looking back. Momiji looked at Li Yan's back, and suddenly sighed faintly.
