preface

The wind kept blowing and the rain kept falling, but the rare first spring rain in this northwestern town was a severe thundershower.

When the night came, everyone fell asleep early, and on this stormy night, this desolate Gobi town was like a lonely frozen shivering chick floating in the wind and rain. The occasional lightning bolt illuminates the town.

The sound of clattering horses' hooves rang out, and the sound of horses' hooves came from afar.

There was still no one in this town who came out to look curiously, and occasionally there were more passers-by, and it was not strange to see how much, the sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and there was no sign of stopping, and after a flash of lightning, it illuminated the riders, two people, two horses galloped forward.

The man was dressed in black, with a hat on his head, and his clothes were soaked.

The horse is a white horse, there is not a single miscellaneous hair, and those who know the goods will know that the road is the white horse of the Tianma ranch. Tianma Ranch is known as the world's first horse farm, because they have the world's first horse idiot Tianma Ranch Ma Tianxiao, Ma Tianxiao is known as the world's first horse master, also known as the world's first horse trainer, or the world's first horse breeder.

He once boasted that there was not a single hairy horse in Haikou, and only my Tianma Ranch had it, and indeed he could boast of this Haikou.

It is true that the white horse does not have any miscellaneous hair, but it has splashed a lot of muddy water. Speckled like small earthy yellow flowers.

The two men and two horses galloped past, and walked away like the wind.

It's a passerby again, and the people lying on the bed think so and fall asleep again.

No one noticed that a scroll was slowly thrown through the window of Wang Laoshi's bakery. A scroll wrapped in waterproof leather. Two passers-by on white horses threw a scroll into Wang Laoshi's bakery, but Wang Laoshi's bakery did not make a sound, as if there was no one.

There must be someone, there is always a sound of things falling to the ground when they go in, and there is only one answer, someone picked up the scroll.

"Jiangnan is good, Jiangnan is good, and the scenery is good everywhere. "The children were singing, chasing and playing. Rare good weather, the weather in early spring is so good is indeed rare, there is not a trace of clouds, the sun is shining.

In this small town in the south of the Yangtze River is already people coming and going, Jiangnan has always been famous for the abundance of people, abundant rain, abundant products, early in the morning the street is endless, people are shopping around for what they need, keep busy.

The sound of clattering horses' hooves rang out, and the sound of horses' hooves came from afar.

The sound of horses' hooves got closer and closer, and without the slightest stop, two people and two horses galloped forward.

Still didn't stay at all, still rushed directly into the town, people scattered to dodge, the two people and two horses still rushed directly through the town without slowing down, the strange thing is that they didn't step on a person, but they left a bunch of scolding, and stunned people.

No one notices at all,

A scroll had been thrown into the Zhao Clan's Silk Village, still wrapped in waterproof leather.

This silk village is not very noticeable, because his business has never been good, outdated styles, wilting guys for a day, and ignoring people when he sees them, staring outside every day and not knowing what to think. The boss and the proprietress are even lazier, dozing off every day, who looks at the store and who dozes off, the ash on the counter is also very thick, they are too lazy to find a rag to wipe it off, so they wipe it with their sleeves and doze off directly on their stomachs.

The reason why the business is not good is because everyone rarely buys things, and lazy people can't do a good job, so everyone pays little attention to it, and they are too lazy to pay attention, because they can't become a big boss, can't help themselves, and have no interest, so there are very few people who deal with the boss.

There weren't many people all day long, and most of the time the store was dozing off with three people.

After the rider, the boss had an extra scroll in his hand. A leather-wrapped waterproof scroll.

The boss put away the scroll, and the proprietress looked at the boss sadly and said, "It's coming."

The boss smiled and said, "It's here, it's finally here, it's time to get out." ”

Spring seems to be better in the northern plains, and the grass has grown to more than half an inch high, tender green, soft, and soft. At this time, people who have been held back for a winter can sleep on this grass and bask in the sun, which is really a pleasure.

Ordinary people don't have time, and "the plan of the year lies in spring" is busy.

Xiao Rushui has time, he is lying under a big tree at this time, squinting his eyes leisurely and watching his students in the open field with paper kites, Xiao Rushui is a teacher, after passing the Xiucai exam, he has not been able to lift people, so he teaches a group of children in the village. The weather was so good today, he felt that if he didn't come out to breathe, it would be a waste of his life to let the wind out.

Now he really enjoys the warmth and freshness brought by spring, chewing the rhizome of a dog's tail grass, squinting at the paper kites flying in the sky, inhaling fresh air and exhaling turbidity.

The sound of clattering horses' hooves rang out, and the sound of horses' hooves came from afar.

The sound of horses' hooves got closer and closer, and without the slightest stop, two people and two horses galloped forward.

The field sped by, leaving no trace, like the wind.

Xiao Rushui already had an extra scroll in his arms, a scroll wrapped in waterproof leather.

Xiao Rushui didn't look at the two very dashing knights galloping away, but just squinted his eyes and stared blankly at the child with the paper kite, until the sun was about to set and the smoke rose, and then he returned to the village with the child.

One day half a month later, people from these three different regions and different places got together in the most ordinary hotel in the capital, "Yuelai Hotel".

The three of them were eating in the private room by the window, no one said a word, and they ate silently.

No one poured the wine, but I poured it very consciously, one cup per person.

"When the wine is gone, buy another pot of wine, I'll treat you." Xiao Rushui shook the flask and said.

Zhao Cheng and Wang honestly said in unison: "Yes, yes."

The three of them looked at each other, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed.

"My name is Xiao Rushui, and I am No. 9." Xiao Ruoshui arched his hand towards the two.

"Zhao Cheng, No. 7". The owner of the silk village also gave his hand.

"Wang Shan, you can call me Wang Laoshi, and I am the 5th." Wang honestly, who sells baked cakes, introduced it honestly.

"This time, I will listen to the eldest brother, everything is at the command of the eldest brother. Xiao Rushui and Zhao Cheng honestly surrendered to the king.

"Take it out," Wang Laoshi reached out and pulled out a scroll.

The three scrolls were put together, and after they were opened, they were divided into three words, "Tao Te Ching".

"Buy a book, go back to your room. Wang Laoshi didn't say a word, turned around and left.

Tao Te Ching, three Tao Te Ching in front of everyone, and below each book are the words that each person interprets according to their own training. The three words are spelled together, and it is this mission and the plan.

The mission is very simple: rescue Princess Chiba and send it to Suzhou Plum Garden on April 15.

Princess Chiba is the favorite daughter of Duan Wangye, and she is also the most likable princess, the Queen Mother asked the emperor to recognize her goddaughter because she liked her, and she became a princess from the county lord, and she has been raised by the Queen Mother's side, and even Duan Wang Ye is rarely seen. This task is much more difficult than killing her in the palace.

The three of them were silent, and they were stunned until dinner time, the sky was dark, Xiao Rushui turned around and floated out of the window like a fallen leaf, "I'll go to the palace to have a look." The sound came into the ears of two people like silk, and the sound of gathering silk into a sound is a common kung fu used by Jianghu people to prevent being overheard, but it is difficult to learn and practice.

Zhao Cheng also flew out of the window, and his huge body carried a gust of wind, "I'm going to look for something to run." Or polysilk into a sound.

Among the three people, there are two characters who gather silk and make a sound, and I don't know what kind of sensation it will become when they are placed on the rivers and lakes. But Wang Laoshi didn't feel the slightest amazement, just put away the things on the table, looked around, turned around and slowly paced out, muttering: "It's all urgent" and closed the door casually. The candlelight in the room flickered, and after a while, it went out.

Tonight the night was as quiet as death.

After tonight,

Tonight may be an unquiet night.
