At this time, it is the end of winter and the beginning of spring, and according to the mortal calendar, there are ten more days before the New Year.

Although Rong is a neighbor of Meng, the climate is very different, and the weather encountered by Ye An has become colder and colder along the way. Although Ye An was already a little unafraid of the cold and heat when he sensed the cultivation of the third layer at this time, the slightest coldness still made him feel uncomfortable.

When he regretted not preparing more clothes, his thoughts suddenly retracted, and he looked towards the official road from afar, and a long line of carriages and horses slowly walked towards him.

Yongan Tea Store can be said to be the most famous business in the whole Bangladesh, not only has a number of prosperous shops in Bangladesh, but also extended its hand to the territory of Rong in recent years. With the support of fame and financial resources, it is natural that the counterparts of the entire Rong country began to hate the same enemy.

Ma Wu was riding on his horse at this time, exhaled a breath, took off the wine bag at his waist, and drank a sip of strong wine.

Recalling the past few years in the rivers and lakes, Ma Wu was melancholy. He has provoked a lot of enemies with his strong martial arts, if it weren't for the fact that his wife gave birth to a big fat boy last year, I am afraid that he would still be living a life of licking blood from the knife edge.

Thanks to Tu Yongan in his early years, he would not even have a place to settle after washing his hands.

He turned his head and asked with a smile on his face: "Shopkeeper, the New Year is closed in a few days, and it is freezing this day, I have never been able to understand, why do you still come to escort this batch of goods in person?"

A fat-headed and big-eared head poked out of the carriage in the center of the crowd and said, "If it weren't for your brother Ma, I wouldn't have come to escort this batch of tea." “

The white-faced young man on a white horse next to him also grinned and said: "It's still to blame our Yongan tea reputation is too loud, since the nobles in the Rongguo Palace want to purchase our Yongan tea, the dart games that often interact with us have all increased their commissions." If there is no big brother Ma, we can only stretch our necks and be slaughtered. ”

Although he has retired to the rivers and lakes, he is still powerful. Although the end of the year is approaching, there are still many outlaws at this border. As long as this job is done well, it can be regarded as worthy of the expensive silver taels that the shopkeeper Tu gives him every year.

Thinking of this, Ma Wuxin was happy for a while, and couldn't help but start laughing, and was about to speak, when his face suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice: "There is someone ahead, you stop first, and I'll go to find out." ”

After saying that, he kicked his legs, flew up from his horse, and in a few breaths, he floated into the distance.

This person is none other than Ye An, who is muttering to himself.

Ma Wu was already a master of art and bold, and when he took a closer look, he was just a young and clean brother, and he suddenly felt a lot more at ease.

After standing still, a fist clenched and said loudly: "In Xia Ma Wu, dare to ask why this friend is blocking the official road?"

Ye An's expression was as usual, and he hugged his fists and said: "I don't mean to block the road, it's just that I accidentally lost my luggage when I was on the road yesterday and wanted to ask for a piece of warm clothing." ”

Ma Wu looked at Ye Anliang carefully for a long time, and said, "A piece of clothing is just a trivial matter, I don't know where the little brother is going?"

Ye An said lightly: "It's almost the end of the year, my parents died in the next family, and I wanted to go to my relatives in Bi'an County, Rongguo, but I never thought that this road would be too bumpy." After speaking, there was still a hint of loneliness on his face.

Ma Wu saw that Ye An was thinly dressed and his steps were vain, obviously a down-and-out prodigal son who didn't know martial arts. Although he is far away in the rivers and lakes, the pride in his heart has not diminished, and he arrived immediately: "There is still a long way to go from Rongguo, there are many bandits and strongmen nearby, and we are also going to Rongguo, you might as well go with us, so you can take care of it, what do you think?"

Ye An's face showed a look of gratitude and said: "In Xia Ye An, thank you Brother Ma, it's so good." “

Tu Yongan saw that Ma Wu had returned late, and there was one more person with him, so he stretched out his hand to open the carriage curtain on the carriage and said loudly: "Brother Ma, who is this?"

Ma Wu turned his head and said loudly: "The shopkeeper is a little brother who doesn't know martial arts, and he is also going to Rongguo." “

Hearing this, Tu Yong went down to Da'an with peace of mind, and he didn't doubt the eyesight of Ma Wu, a top master, and retracted his head into the carriage again.

At this time, the white-faced man said with some displeasure on his face: "Since Brother Ma can bring this little brother over, there is naturally no problem, but our trip has a lot to do, so it's better not to casually go on the road with people you don't know." “

Ma Wu laughed, and said arrogantly: "Meeting is fate, the sky is falling, since I am Ma Wu, Li Jiu, you can rest assured." “

The white-faced man snorted and said no more.

Ye Ancheng's expression was indifferent, if it was not necessary, he would not pay attention to some mortals.

The day's journey was about to be completed soon, and the sky was getting dark, but the carriages and horses were not ready to stop and camp overnight, which made Ye An a little surprised.

When the full moon was in the sky, the weather became a little cool, Ma Wu rode a horse and walked at the front of the team and said loudly: "Everyone, there is still a mile ahead of the inn, we don't have to sleep outside today, but you must cheer up." “

Everyone cheered up, Ye An was a little puzzled, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "I heard that many of the inns near the border are black shops, why does Brother Ma have to go there to stay overnight?"

Ma Wu had a smile on his face and said mysteriously: "The little brother is not from the rivers and lakes, and it is inevitable that he will be confused. You'll understand when the time comes. ”

Before the tea was ready, an inn that looked a little dilapidated stood in front of everyone.

There is a large canvas hanging on the mast outside the inn, and the book "Penglai Inn" is written, and you can see the appearance of the courtyard at a glance, without a single blue brick rubble, which looks extremely bleak.

Ma Wu groaned slightly, and said loudly: "Xu Sanniang, Lao Tzu Ma Wu is here!"

In the middle of the night, a bewitching young woman walked out of the inn, and said with a smile in the corner of her eyes: "I heard that you Ma Lao Wu has washed his hands in a golden basin, why do you have time to come to my black shop today?"

Ma Wu laughed and said: "I, Ma Wu, was entrusted by others to take my brothers on a trip to Rong Kingdom, and now it's getting late, so I'm here to stay in your Xu Sanniang's realm for one night, what's the matter, don't you welcome me to wait?"

Xu Sanniang said with a somewhat complicated face: "If you Ma Wuyi come, I will welcome you very much, but"

Seeing that Xu Sanniang seemed to have something to say, Ma Wu was about to ask, when suddenly a scream came from a distance, and a bloody head drew an arc in mid-air and landed at Ma Wu's feet.

Li Jiu's face froze, and he recognized that this was the guard invited by the tea shop, and shouted: "Brother Ma, enemy attack!"

Ma Wu's complexion changed greatly, he clenched his fists and shouted in a deep voice: "It's a friend all the way, and if you kill someone without greeting, it's too inferior!"
