The caravan was right, it was late in the evening at Stunin, and it was snowing heavily.

The snowflakes like goose feathers are scattered, and when the north wind blows, the knife cuts on people, in the past, I heard that the wind and snow in the North Sea can blow people to death, and even freeze the entire sea surface, Ye Qing has seen it now, fortunately, he is in time to get away, so he will not fall into the snow.

At this moment, the port city of Stunin has appeared in the field of vision of the two, emitting an orange-red glow in the snowy night, making the travelers on the road feel warm.

The atmosphere was calm, and when he looked closer, Ye Qing was a little disappointed, this so-called city was just a county seat, and even the dock area was larger than it, and it seemed to be the ancillary facilities of this ice-free port wharf.

"The west gate is locked, this is to guard against horse bandits and savages in the depths of the steppe...... When those are actually vulnerable, that is, the military regulations of the Wei State are meticulous, and they should be locked......"

Li Niang whispered, and added: "But because there are night sailing ships, a qiē for the needs of port trade, the east gate of the dock area is still open, guarded by Taoist soldiers and magicians...... At that time, the Hong Kong Guard Army was still very elite, and I didn't see it today, I heard that they were all transferred to the West, and I heard that it was a war with the Middle Earth court. ”

Ye Qing listened carefully to her introduction, nodded from time to time, and did not speak, although it was early and night in the city, it was quiet, and the people who inspected were also a little sluggish.

But there was a murderous aura in the city, and judging from the murderous aura, there were still elites in the city, at least 3,000 people.

The city is a little smaller, and it will eventually be his future territory, and the second half of the year has not yet arrived, and here are still the people of Wei, and the whole city does not belong to him, so it is necessary to understand something.

Because of the proximity to the eastern port and the caravan became denser, and met two more on the way, Ye Qing gave some money, and followed one of the caravans in, the guards were a little lazy this night, just checked it as usual and put it in, there was not much turmoil.

Before entering the city gate, Ye Qing looked back at the dock, there were many masts, blocking his vision, and he only heard the sound of the tide...... As surging as the heart of the wilderness, this is the sea at night.

When they parted ways with the caravan on the street, Li Niang took them to a hostel and knocked on the door, and entered with the code.

This hostel is an ordinary three-story wooden building, it looks like there is no mystery, the middle-aged shopkeeper personally led the two of them up to the third floor, chattering and saying: "You are in such a cold day and are in a hurry, if you want to take a sea boat back, it is estimated that you will have to delay for two days, although this port is not frozen, but I heard that there are many icebergs on the southeast route to the south, and the sea ships to and from Nha Chau Island have been delayed......

"Two days?" Li Niang frowned slightly, calculating the time it would take to return to the flight, and glanced at Ye Qing.

Ye Qing bowed: "Listen to your arrangement." ”

This kind of climatic delay, Li Niang herself has no way to complain, only advises: "Notify us when you get to the ship." ”

She did not introduce Ye Qing's true identity to the person in charge of this stronghold, and only said that she would return to the island with her colleagues from the mainland, this statement did not arouse suspicion, because although there are not a few Qingmai Immortal Sects in Middle Earth, it is not that there are no Qingmai monks, and many Xianmen disciples travel around the place to find suitable disciples for Qingmai cultivation, which are all probabilistic appearances.

After a systematic teaching of Taoism, those with good qualifications are often brought back, and those with less qualifications stay in the local area...... Qingmai's resources are limited, so he can only endure the pain and cut his love.

In the name of beauty, it is said that the essence is selected from the fine, but the actual bitter helplessness, no one knows the potential losses caused by this self-destruction.

In fact, there are always some inconspicuous good seeds that are missed, or if you are lucky, there are monks who can break through to the spiritual pool in their own cultivation, and most of them will defect to the East China Sea, not only for the higher level of exercises, but also because they can get a sense of belonging here, so this stronghold will also have some such tasks from time to time.

"I'm sorry, because there are not many people coming, and the funds are insufficient, the guest rooms are basically rented out in winter, and only one room is reserved, but it is a suite...... That, what do you two think?" The shopkeeper shifted his gaze on the faces of the two of them, as if judging whether it was a Taoist couple, and sometimes the door used beauties to attract high-quality monks, and there were.

"One at a time. Li Niang waved her hand, not caring about such a small matter.

Entering the room, the shopkeeper stood at the door outside and didn't come in, and asked carefully what food he wanted to give, so he kicked down the stairs and stared down, muttering in his heart: "This time I want a real female cultivator to show her beauty tricks, and that little white face is not the same as a real person, hiss...... But it's a big gain......"

"I'm going to pick this one. ”

Ye Qing took a turn in the room, it was a three-bedroom suite, the furnishings were quite delicate and elegant, a lot of small wooden handicrafts, the beds in the master bedroom and guest bedroom were very clean, very in line with Qingmai's aesthetics, probably the best room in this small hostel.

Li Niang closed the door lightly, laid down the shielding array, and then followed up and whispered: "This is a foothold of the Aoki Sect in Stunin, it is rarely used, and the security is acceptable, when this has something to do with the fact that there are not many big forces watching in this port......"

"There wasn't much to watch...... Because it's worthless?" Ye Qing muttered to himself, a perceptive smile gradually appeared on his face, and there was a different kind of mystery in the candlelight.

Li Niang was stunned for a moment, and woke up at the knock on the door of 'Tuk Tuk', jumped up, and went to open the door.

"Hot water for you two. ”

This time it was two men who knocked on the door, and after confirming it, they brought in a large bucket of hot water, poured it into the tub in the side room, and respectfully retreated out, and it could be seen that the owner of the shop had told him that this was a distinguished guest.

"That ......" Li Niang came over with two stacks of clothes, she didn't step into the room this time, only stood at the door of the master bedroom and asked, "Do you want to take a bath and change clothes?"

"You wash it first. Ye Qing smiled slightly, the doppelganger fairy spirit fruit worth 200,000 heavenly merits gave birth to the green vein Dao body is a kind of immaculate body, and a simple dust removal spell can keep it clean, without thinking about sweat stains and greasy, this so-called washing first is just to give this little girl a step down, in fact, there is no need at all.

Li Niang actually knew that she was thin-skinned, and she was a little embarrassed in front of this man, and her own woman was not as clean as a man...... But the tiredness and dust along the way, she really couldn't pay attention to it, she put down a set of men's clothes for Ye Qing, closed the door gently, and held her women's clothes into the side room.

After a while, the sound of water outside sounded, and with the perception of immortals, even through the two layers of doors, they could hear it, and even they could smell the warm and humid fragrance...... But in fact, it still can't prevent the spirit rhino from reflecting the sixth layer.

Ye Qing turned his back, waved his sleeves to extinguish the lights and candles, and stood alone at the window, quietly looking outside.

There were no tall buildings in the city, except for the five-story lord's palace and some four-story guild buildings, and the third floor of the inn was considered tall in the small city, much higher than the symbolic low wall on the seaside side, and the view from the east was almost unobstructed.

At night, the shadows of the sea are blurred, about ships and masts, the lighthouse light on the cliff is flashing and flashing, the light of the tide is light and heavy, the sound of the tide is light and heavy and permeates the whole city, the occasional sailors and porters on the pier are heard, the braggart of the drinkers in the taverns, the laughter of the prostitutes, the smell of fish and the smell of the sea are mixed together, filling the streets, fish markets, and warehouses, and the night scene of this North Sea port is constructed.

There is not much popularity, there is a different kind of prosperity, when the lights are turned off in the room and it is quiet, the light and sound outside are clearly penetrated.

"The city is not good, the port is not bad......" Ye Qing thought secretly.

The divine consciousness swept the whole city silently, and it could be seen that there were no masters sitting here, only three or four real people, as Li Niang introduced just now, the cold land really didn't attract much interest from people, most of which was because Dongzhou had not yet been developed, and the value of Beihai, the only ice-free port, was not much realized...... By the time you start to realize it after a few years, it's too late.

Li Niang came out after washing, and saw the black light in the master bedroom, she was surprised for a while, she was a little worried that Zhenjun had fallen asleep, and she didn't care about going back to change clothes, so she held a bath towel in her hand and asked at the door: "Are you asleep?"

"Something?" came a voice from inside.

Li Niang looked down at herself, for fear that he would suddenly open the door and bump into embarrassment, so she took a few steps back and hid in the shadow of the door, and whispered, "I want to ask you about your itinerary tomorrow so that I can prepare in advance." ”

Ye Qing has been standing in front of the window, looking at the night view of the port and thinking about it, and said, "Take me to the beach for a walk and see the sea." ”

"Good. Li Niang breathed a sigh of relief, ran back to her room to change her clothes, and went to inform the person in charge of the stronghold, the shopkeeper, and told him to prepare to contact a guide who was familiar with the coastline.

The middle-aged shopkeeper was actively doing things, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Should you rush back to participate in the Winter Defense Conference?"

"The sect master has his own itinerary, this is a secret. Li Niang said with a straight face, her eyes swept over the bookcase in the secret room: "What about the charts?"

"Here ......"

There is no very detailed division of labor in the Dongzhou colonial area, although she is a real person who has grown up in the killing, she can actually do a little bit of everything, and she is used to doing it herself, and she is busy for a while before resting.

At this time, you can already hear the sound of breathing in the master bedroom, which is integrated with the sound of the sea tide, and the feeling of unity between heaven and man, it is completely impossible to see that it is the first time to come to the beach...... It's really adaptable.

Putting the chart at the door, she went back to her room and sat down alone, a little worried about the news just now: "Winter defense conference...... Uncle Aoki, the two senior brothers, and the senior sister Bing'er can't come back, and the few elders in the door may not be able to suppress the scene...... But Uncle Aoki said that I don't have to think about anything, and listen to Ye Zhenjun every time. ”

The worry about the emptiness of strength in the sect and the confidence in Uncle Shi and the Immortal True Monarch blended together, making this Qingmai disciple a little entangled.

In the end, I couldn't think of it, and fell into a deep sleep.

When she fell asleep, Ye Qing opened her eyes again and felt the sea breeze: "This is the general trend? I feel this power." ”

The Stunin who will be handed over to him is nothing more than a red gas, which was not bad before, but now it is very few.

But when he arrived here, he couldn't help but be moved.
