Hongzhi County is a small place.

With a population of less than 1,000 or so, there are about 200 households, which is not much larger than a small village or town. It is located in the barren and water-deficient land of northern Hebei, not a fertile place, and it is more than 150 miles away from the northwestern city of Longde Mansion, and it is not an important place for traffic to pass through, so even in the usual daytime, there are not many foreign guests passing by.

Late at night, heavy snowfall.

Families are closed, chickens and dogs are silent, and the whole city has fallen into silence. There were originally a few night lights in the county seat, but a few hours ago, the violent wind and snow had already been extinguished, and hundreds of households had no lights. Everywhere is the cold snow, lined with the lead-colored canopy, and the gray walls look especially bleak.

There was a layer of snow on the ground half a foot deep, enough for no one's knees, but it was still falling, and it was not a scattered grain of salt at dusk, but a large flower, like goose feathers. In this way, by tomorrow morning, the snow on the road will not be able to get out even the mules and horses.

Torrential winds and snowstorms have always been the most feared weather for travelers. At such a time, not to mention the merchants on the road, even the soup and tea stalls and cake carts that usually come out late at night to sell food also all closed for a day and did not go out to make a living. There was not a single thing to move in the empty city, and the strong wind swept the blizzard, rushing left and right in the streets and alleys, shaking the portal frantically. In the shrill wind, there was a creaking sound of the wooden door.

But at this time, in the snow outside the city outline, there were two people walking.

Two men, one about twenty-six or seventeen years old, wore a chase-colored robe. The dark green belt was around the waist, and the jet-black hair was hooked with a jade hook. Looks refreshed. The other, much younger, was sixteen or seventeen years old. Dressed more simply, wearing a black ink-colored coarse cloth straight jacket, a pair of black ankle boots, and no decoration on the whole body.

The boy was cold, as if he didn't care about everything that was happening around him. He raised his head slightly, his eyes level, and kept looking into the distance, as if there was something in front of him that strongly attracted him.

If there is a Zhaojiazhuang greeting guest near the left, you will definitely recognize it at a glance. These two people are none other than Xing Renwan, the disciple of the Qinglong Sect, and the second Dharma Protector class.

The two of them left the table when Ling Fei and the others went to the backyard to discuss, Ban Keyan left the Zixiao Star Sword Technique in Zhaojiazhuang, Zhao Dongsheng was quite grateful, and the disciple reported that the two of them had been sitting in a regular manner after entering the table, and they were not Gu people, so there was no embarrassment for them, and let the Shushan disciples who guarded the courtyard let the two of them go.

The snow had been falling since they went out. It's been almost three hours now, and there is no sign of abating. Fortunately, the two of them have high mana, and the wind and snow that covers the sky and the sun have no obstacle for them. Each of them had a protective shield on the outside of their clothes, and the wind and snow could not penetrate at all. From the outside, the two of them have no star shavings. The clothes and hair are all in their original colors.

The two did not speak.

This parallel of silence does not stop at the present. Rather, it started from the moment they came out of the bank. It also lasted for three hours. Needless to say, this eccentric teenager cherishes words like gold. He was not a talkative figure, but it would be strange if he wasn't so silent. And although Ban Keyan can speak, but with such a wood-like companion on the stall, how can he talk about it, the two of them just look at each other, Xing Renwan looks into the distance, Ban Keyan looks left and right like enjoying the flowers, and walks side by side for more than a hundred miles, but he doesn't say a word.

But this situation was soon broken.

Ahead was a low hill planted with sparse zelkova and chestnut trees, forming a small grove of trees, whose leaves had already fallen to the ground in the deep winter cold, and now all that remained was charred black branches, which were lifted to the sky like strange insects. Ban Keyan was trying to treat the barren little dirt bag in front of him as a flowery Luoyang peony club, and watched it with great interest, but suddenly, he stopped and looked behind helplessly.

Xing Renwan beside him stopped one step ahead of him.

The boy's stiff pestle was like a black nail in the snow.

The wind and snow around him are still there, and the fierce wind is howling, sweeping back and forth in the open field, bringing up heavy white frost curtains, and countless white snow flakes fall from the sky, covering the scenery several feet away can not be distinguished. Everything is no different than before.

"Come out. Xing Renwan's cold voice.

A turbulent current wrapped in cold air rolled in from afar, whistling, like thousands of troops and horses rolling over Pinggang. It encountered an obstacle above the snow mound seven feet ahead, and collided with another air current coming from the direction of the low forest, and the buzzing sound filled the air with a loud snow.

But no one answered.

"I'll count to three, and if I don't come out, I'm going to kill. Xing Renwan said indifferently.

"One!"

"Two!"

A nail appeared in Xing Renwan's hand.

"Poh!" At this moment, the snow thirteen zhang away behind the two of them suddenly fell, and a deep hole suddenly appeared, the snow fell one after another, and a figure quickly drilled out against the snow and dust.

"Brother Xing has good ears! I was lying under the soil, and I tried my best to hide my breath, but you found out, it's really amazing!"

"Say what you mean. Xing Renwan said lightly, his tone did not change at all, and he was not affected by the other party's praise at all. "You have followed me all the way from the Lund Mansion to here, what are your intentions, you only have one chance to answer, if the answer does not satisfy me, you will die. ”

"Huh?!...... You already knew?" the man who came out of the ground was visibly taken aback. He didn't expect that what he thought was a secret action turned out to be in the hands of others all along. He is a master of the hidden tracking technique, he has been carrying out tasks since he has never missed a record, this time in order to follow up Xing Renwan, he also deliberately acted carefully, but he never expected that he still could not escape the detection of the two.

It's just that these two people have already discovered their tracking, why haven't they spoken out before?

"I've come to seek an alliance. The man said, Xingzang was all seen through, and his tone was no longer as calm as before. It's become a little restrained. "Brother Xing's skills are amazing, and he fought with the disciples of Shushan in Zhaojiazhuang. It makes the heroes of the world look sideways, and we are deeply admired. It is expected that soon, the name of the Xing brothers will spread all over the world and become one of the top masters of our time. He glanced at Xing Renwan, and found that the young man's indifference had not changed in the slightest, and he couldn't help but hesitate a little, and he didn't know if his answer could satisfy this young man with high mana, and then he said stubbornly: "Qinglongmen has young heroes like Brother Xing and Brother Ban, and I believe that the overall strength is not comparable to that of ordinary famous families, and my brother came here this time." It is to take a look forward first, get in touch with the two brothers, and explore the possibility of cooperation between the two sides. He paused and said, "With the strength of the Qinglong Sect today, it is definitely not difficult to replace the Shushan faction and become the first sect in the Central Plains. Brother Xing, when you come to Zhaojiazhuang today, it is not as simple as simply comparing arts, let's figure it out in vain and beat the Shushan faction at the lantern lighting ceremony. Seize its edge, and take this opportunity to show off your strength as a plan for the future, this should be your master's real intention. These young Longmen have suffered from injustice, and it is time for the times to change. Your master has a big mind, and what you think is far beyond our miscalculations, but no matter what your master thinks. I can't always get around the Shushan faction. ”

"We are here to help Qinglongmen shovel the roadblockers. The Shushan faction will not fall for a day. Qinglongmen wants to come out, but he is afraid that the chance is slim, but he ...... Don't blame the bro, I'm direct. The Shushan faction has ruled the Central Plains for many years, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, and if you want to suppress them, it is not a day's work, nor can the Qinglongmen be able to do it with the strength of a faction alone, you need help, and we happen to be dissatisfied with the Shushan faction early, in terms of strength, brothers, I dare not be arrogant, and it is a little bit of a look, since we both have common interests, and it coincides with this great opportunity for the world to change, why not go hand in hand and plan together. ”

"Who are you?"

"This ......" the man hesitated slightly, and said: "Who we are, Brother Xing will know sooner or later, but now you just need to see us as friends with common interests." Now the time is right, Shushan faction, Tianlong Temple, Wuxinan, Qingye Gate, these sects are overwhelmed by the war between the north and the south at this time, if we join forces......"

"I'm not interested in your proposal. Xing Renwan said indifferently. He stared at the stunned man and shook his head slightly: "You didn't completely answer my question, I'm not satisfied with this answer." ”

"Brother Xing......" The man's heart was cold, and he saw the terrifying nail on the young man's left palm suddenly glowing, knowing that his life and death were in an instant, and he was about to say it in a hurry, but unexpectedly, Ban Keyan next to Xing Renwan stopped the young man who wanted to kill first, "Brother Xing, wait." ”

"Let me talk to this brother. Ben said. Xing Renwan looked at him coldly, and neither immediately killed the man, nor did he withdraw his skills as he said. The bright blue light jumped in his palm, reflecting the snow in a radius of more than ten feet.

Ban Keyan smiled slightly, and turned his gaze to the man with a pale face.

"My little brother is a little anxious, please brother Tai Haihan, I don't know what brother Tai is called?"

"My surname is Lu, and my name is Lu Wensi. He looked at Xing Renwan with a shocked look on his face, "Brother Xing is a very human being and acts decisively, this is the true character of a hero." Xing Renwan snorted, withdrew the nail into his sleeve and stopped looking at him, and walked straight ahead, not waiting for Ban to speak. Ban Keyan smiled and said: "Let Brother Lu see it, well, speaking of which, it is really ashamed that Qinglongmen can get such a high level of attention from all the heroes, and it has been established so far, but in just three years, the development time is too short, and the foundation is not stable, I am afraid that I will live up to everyone's expectations." ”

Lu Wensi arched his hand and said: "Brother Ban is polite, what Qinglongmen has done in the past few years, we have all seen it, as far as I know, there should be no less than eight masters like Brother Xing in Qinglongmen, plus several hidden protectors such as Brother Ban, even if it is with sects like Qingye Sect and Wuxin'an, it can be shorter and longer." ”

Ban Keyan had a smile on his face, and arched his hand: "I'm ashamed, brother, I dare to hide these micro skills!" But when it comes to Brother Lu's proposal just now, Ban still feels that the time has not yet come. Qinglongmen has grown stronger than before in recent years, but I don't hide it from my brothers, because of the rapid expansion, Qinglongmen now has a lot of internal worries, and this time has been trying to solve it, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to do anything in a short time. Of course, Brother Lu's opinion, I will still convey it, how will the master of the sect decide, we don't dare to guess what we do below, but I still want to remind Brother Lu that the master of the sect has a somewhat conservative personality, what will he choose...... Personally, I don't think it's optimistic. ”

Lu Wensi laughed and said, "Then there are Laoban brothers, this is something that is beneficial to both of us." That's why we are talking about cooperation with such expectations, but in any case, as long as your master can consider our proposal a little and know our sincerity, even if this cooperation fails, there will always be a chance in the future. ”

The two talked a few more words, Lu Wensi said goodbye and left, he was good at the art of escaping the earth, stood up slightly, rolled up a snowspout on the spot, and his whole person disappeared into the snowdrift. Ban Keyan smiled and watched the white dust drift away gradually, and then quickly caught up with Xing Renwan who was walking in front.

"Khitans. Xing Renwan said coldly.

Ban Keyan smiled, he knew that Xing Renwan was very smart, and it was completely opposite to Mu Ne's appearance, and the young man had already guessed Lu Wensi's identity.

"Why didn't you let me kill him, you know that the old thing won't join forces with them. ”

"It's just a small fish, why kill him, maybe ...... in the future"

The two drifted apart, and the wind and snow drowned out their voices. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
