Turn your gaze back to Youzhou.

Because they didn't expect the heavy snow to fall for such a long time, Cheng Kun and Peng Rou almost slept in the wild. Fortunately, after waiting for an hour, they saw that the snow showed no sign of stopping, so they mounted their horses and found a place to stay.

At noon the next day, the snow finally stopped.

The height of the snow on the ground is enough to reach the thighs of ordinary people, and in such an environment, the speed of the war horse cannot be improved at all, and the consumption of physical strength is much faster. Cheng Kun left the war horse, and gave the owner of the house a hundred black coins as accommodation expenses, and asked him to take care of himself and Peng Rou's mount by the way, and then continued to embark on the return journey with Peng Rou.

After the two of them dropped their horses, they hurried on the road without much slowness. Cheng Kun's body is like a feather, stepping on the snow but leaving only a shallow footprint, which is not much different from the legendary treading snow without a trace.

As he ran, his True Qi naturally flowed around the sky, and the True Qi consumed was just equal to the amount of True Qi he had increased. If he maintained this speed, Cheng Kun could keep running until he was physically exhausted.

When it was almost dark, Cheng Kun finally saw the city gate of Xinfeng County, Yang Rong, who was guarding the city gate, was still his acquaintance, Cheng Kun killed the Hun spy Helian Bobo three years ago, so that the people in the county knew the strength of this child.

Seeing Cheng Kun and a beautiful woman walking over together, Yang Rong's expression was a little surprised: "Xiao Kun, didn't you go to join the army, why did you come back so quickly, could it be that you committed an accident in the barracks and were beaten back?"

Cheng Kun pursed his lips to show disdain: "Uncle Yang, what are you kidding, how could this kind of thing happen to me, this time I came back just because the New Year is approaching, and I went home." ”

Yang Rong was a little strange, when did the soldiers in the barracks be so free, and they could actually ask for leave for the New Year?

Cheng Kun saw that Yang Rong was a little puzzled, and he didn't explain, of course he wouldn't casually say that he was going to the imperial capital.

After entering the county seat, the flow of people is obviously much denser, many hawkers are shouting hard in the cold wind, and now there are many residents of villages outside the city to buy New Year's goods, and the money earned in this more than a month can top their harvest in the previous months.

Peng Rou wanted to see that Uncle Zhao soon, so Cheng Kun took her in the direction of Jishitang.

But when the two of them walked to the place, they found that the signboard of Jishitang was still there, but the door was closed, and the lingering medicinal fragrance in the past was faint and faint.

Peng Rou looked at Cheng Kun with puzzled eyes, wondering if he was in the wrong place.

Cheng Kun shook his head very firmly, saying that this is it, yes.

But looking at the door, it doesn't look like it's temporarily closed, the lock on the door is already rusty, and the door is also covered with dust, which proves that Old Man Zhao and they should have been away for a while.

You must know that in his spare time every day on weekdays, Mr. Kong Bohua will take out a rag to clean up inside and out, and it is impossible to make the door of the hospital look like this.

Cheng Kun came to the silk village next door and asked the boss. As a result, I learned that Mr. Zhao had indeed left Xinfeng County two months ago, and Youran and Uncle Kong also left together, and the boss did not know where they went.

Peng Rou looked disappointed, she had been looking forward to this meeting with Uncle Zhao. Zhao Wenyuan was the second person she knew to break out of the shackles of her predecessors and create her own martial arts. What's more, she came with the master's entrustment this time, Zhao Wenyuan disappeared without a trace, and her mission on this trip could be regarded as a failure.

Cheng Kun was worried about Youran's condition in her heart, and she didn't know if she insisted on practicing the five-shape boxing she taught her. Before he left to join the army, Youran had already shown signs of breaking through to the dark energy, and if it went well, Youran should already be a master of dark energy by now.

It's a pity that Cheng Kun himself doesn't understand how this boxing method is easy to marrow, in his three years of martial arts training, Cheng Kun and Old Man Zhao Wenyuan spent more than half of their time arguing about how to tailor a method of refining the marrow for Youran, so as to fundamentally solve her blood withering disease, and I don't know if Old Man Zhao has succeeded. He always felt that the reason why Old Man Zhao left should also be related to Youran's condition.

didn't see anyone, Peng Rou was a little excited, but since she came out, she was not in a hurry to go back, so she simply followed Cheng Kun to find a place to spend the night first, and waited for tomorrow to return to the barracks.

Cheng Kun came to Uncle Fan's house, Fan Yue had already sold out of meat early at this time, and was drinking a little wine leisurely in the house. Seeing Cheng Kun come back, he was very surprised, and hurriedly welcomed Cheng Kun and Peng Rou into the house.

Cheng Kun didn't see Fan Gang at a glance, so he asked Uncle Fan, only to know that Fan Gang, this kid, is now a county official, and the kung fu he learned from Cheng Kun is more than enough.

He originally wanted to leave home to join the army like Cheng Kun, but he was discovered by his father and beaten him so hard that he almost didn't break his leg, and finally asked someone to send him to the county office. After a period of time, Fan Yue saw that he was still a little restless, so he simply asked a matchmaker to set up a family affair for him, and he would get married after the New Year. Speaking of which, he has indeed reached the age when he should get married.

Fan Yue was very interested in Cheng Kun's experience in the barracks, and Cheng Kun didn't hide it too much, only picked out something that could be said and told him.

Fan Yue heard that Cheng Kun had already experienced a major battle (the battle outside the Blood Gate Pass) after only half a year of joining the army, and he had also killed the enemy and made meritorious contributions, and now he had achieved the military Sima, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, he had already seen that the future achievements of his old friend's child were limitless, but he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the Dingshan Army, he would be like a cone into the bag, and his edge was exposed.

In addition to his emotion, he was also sincerely happy for Cheng Zhen, having a son like this is enough to comfort his life.

However, he was a little puzzled that Cheng Kun had brought a woman with him when he came back this time, and wondered if she was the mother-in-law that Cheng Kun had found? Taking advantage of Peng Rou's stroll around the courtyard, Fan Yue pulled Cheng Kun aside and asked quietly.

Cheng Kun smiled bitterly, no matter how small Uncle Fan's voice was, it was impossible to hide it from Peng Rou's ears in such a short distance. He looked towards the courtyard, and sure enough, he saw Peng Rou's eyes looking towards him, his expression was smiling, as if he was waiting to see how Cheng Kun answered.

Cheng Kun didn't dare to say that she was the general of Zhenbei of the Dingshan Army canonized by the emperor, otherwise he would not scare Uncle Fan to death, so he had to vaguely say that Peng Rou was a martial arts woman he met on the way back.

Fan Yue regretfully gave up asking, in his eyes, those women who have learned martial arts are not good matches, even if they are beautiful, they can't marry home as wives, otherwise if they quarrel because of something, they will be killed by their wives in a second, what will it be!

After dark, Fan Gang came home with a smell of wine, and when he saw that Cheng Kun was also in the house, he first rubbed his eyes, and after confirming that it was correct, he ran over and hugged Cheng Kun, and shouted happily: "Cheng Kun, why are you back." ”

Cheng Kun also hugged himself by him, he didn't have many friends in his life, but Fan Gang was definitely one of them. He patted Fan Gang on the back, passed a trace of true qi by the way, expelled the alcohol in Fan Gang's body, and said with the same smile: "What, aren't you welcome me back?"

As soon as the alcohol in Fan Gang's body disappeared, the person became much sober, let go of the hand holding Cheng Kun, and said with a laugh: "How is it possible, I must have a good drink with you tonight, and by the way, I will squeeze some good things out of you, I have already practiced the boxing technique you gave me last time." ”
