Ordinary people would faint if they were hit by the snow. Fortunately, Yang Huchen was a soldier and had a strong body. He could grit his teeth to withstand the impact of the snow. Fortunately, Yang Huchen was tall. Although the snow waves covered him. The people who lived in it did not bury it deeply.

Yang Huchen was immobilized by acupoints, but he could still move his mouth and nose. After blowing and wheezing repeatedly, he finally blew away the snow covering his mouth and nose to prevent him from suffocating to death.

He quickly followed the sound and saw that Yang Huchen saw the light of the sword extinguished and the shadow of the sword disappearing. The two figures had separated. The young man in green clothes could no longer be described as embarrassed. At this moment, his face was pale and the corners of his lips were bloody, unlike before. So relaxed.

Looking at the evil man again, he was even more miserable. His sleeves were torn, and the swallow-tailed knife in his hand, which was like a pair of scissors, had been cut off by the young man's sword. Not only that, the evil man's shoulder blade was pierced by the long sword, although he could still hold it. He tried his best to stand, but blood flowed down his shoulder blades to the ground, dyeing the ground in front of him red.

Wei Xie couldn't figure it out. This young man's internal strength was clearly inferior to his own. When the two talents were fighting together, he clearly had the upper hand, but his seemingly slow sword broke through his own swallow-tailed knife and stabbed him. Hit yourself in the shoulder blade.

In a duel between masters, the outcome is often only a matter of seconds. Gu Xiao also used his weapon and machine to fight against the evil man. He was originally suppressed by his sharp sword and tried his best to block his sword attacks. However, as the fierce fight lasted longer, he was counterattacked. He became even more impatient when he saw his opponent.

"The heart is restless, and the heart has been calm for three years..." Gu Xiao heard what his master had said to the evil man just now, and he suddenly realized something. He stopped attacking each other, concentrated his energy, and while using Qinggong, he waved his sword to break up the moves. .

As the two got into another fierce fight, Gu Xiao saw clearly the opponent's moves. Not only did he memorize the villain's sword skills, but he also saw the flaw in the swallow-tailed knife. The swallow-tailed knife intersected like a pair of scissors, and the shape of the knife It's weird and hard to guard against, but where the two knives intersect, because of the weird shape of the knives, where the two knives intersect, every time the knife is drawn, a flaw will be revealed for a moment.

Having already found the flaw, how could Gu Xiao miss it? When the two of them once again used the robot to merge into one, Gu Xiao changed the previous trend of splitting moves and opened the middle door wide. He just waited for his opponent to use his sword and saw the right moment. Sword breaks dovetail knife...

The knife was broken and the move was broken. Gu Xiao only pierced the opponent's shoulder blade, making him unable to fight anymore. Just because he wanted to capture the evil man, he approached with the sword and said in a deep voice: "Your swallow-tail knife looks sharp, but it is actually a move." If you don't want to die, tell me honestly who ordered you..."

Before he finished speaking, the evil man's eyes gradually became crazy and he yelled at the young man: "You are lucky to have defeated me by one move. I really thought I was afraid of you. If you die, I will have to pull you to support you."

After finishing speaking, he waved his palm and slapped his Dantian...

Gu Xiao never thought that this bandit was completely different from the people he had met before. The cold-faced and scar-faced men he met in Mo County and the bandits captured in Yanbei Mountain were all greedy for life and afraid of death. , and after the villain was injured, not only did he not show fear, but he became even more ferocious.

Gu Xiao looked at the evil man who was exhausted and unable to fight anymore, and his whole body suddenly burst out with surging Qi. After being shocked, he guessed that the evil man just used the power of his palm to activate the Qi in his Dantian in order to stimulate His own potential, but in this way, how can his injured body accommodate the inspired Qi? Does he want to...

Star eyes suddenly shrank, Gu Xiao hurriedly turned around and jumped behind him, using his internal strength to use Step on the Snow to Touch Water. In an instant, he was at Yang Huchen who was buried in the snow. When he picked up Yang Huchen, the sound of the evil man's wanton laughter rang out behind him.

"I want to escape now...it's too late, hahahaha..."

The zhenqi this time was several times more powerful than when those people exploded and died. Gu Xiao, who had always been calm, now had a slightly panicked look in his eyes. He didn't even have time to open the acupuncture points for Yang Huchen, but Yun Zong had already come out.

The sound of huge explosions resounded over Mojun. The people of Mojun who were hiding in the caves thought that a strange phenomenon had occurred. They were all restless and panicked. On the contrary, Xiaodouzi, who was taking care of Mo Jiang, appeared with her. Not only that, but she also calmed down the guards and everyone around her.

Seeing a child so calm, the restless people gradually calmed down. After another cup of tea, everyone hiding in the cave finally felt relieved when they saw that there was no more strange things in the world.

Seeing that everyone was no longer restless, Xiaodouzi entrusted the care of Uncle Jiang to the aunt beside him. He walked to the entrance of the cave and spoke to the few remaining county guards and guards: "Brother Six, brothers, the sound just now was not simple. I think Ask some brothers to help."

Several guards knew that this little girl was very smart in normal times. At a young age, she secretly helped Mo Ti Sicheng handle affairs in the County Sheriff's Department. Adults like them were not as good as her, so they treated her as a younger sister from the bottom of their hearts. If you ask for help, you will naturally not refuse.

"Xiaodouzi, if you have any orders, just ask." All the guards said in unison.

"When the eldest brother came, he had already killed all the bandits. When the bandit leader saw him coming, he also ran away. But the sound just now... I am worried that my benefactor brother will be in danger. We from Mo County, Although you are weak, you must not sit idly by and ignore it." Although Xiaodouzi is young, he speaks clearly and clearly.

The guards had been fighting for their lives against the bandits for so many years for the people of Mo County. How could they be greedy for life and afraid of death? Seeing that Xiaodouzi, a child with a bun in a bun, was talking like this, how could they not agree? They all spoke up and were willing to help.

Seeing that the guards were willing to help, Xiaodouzi bowed to them and said childishly: "Brothers, we don't have many people. Besides, everyone still needs to take care of the guards. Let's do this. Brother Xiaoliu will go with me, and the other brothers will take care of them." Hold on to everyone."

The officers and guards took the order and acted separately. It was a matter of course...

At the same time, two figures had arrived at the Mojun Beacon Tower. The young master raised his head and looked towards it. Although he was not as tightly guarded as during the war between Qi and Jin in these years of peace, the road was smooth along the way. , although there are some weeds and foreign objects blocking it, it is not in the way. It seems that everyone in Mo County often sends people to inspect it on weekdays, and they are very satisfied.

When he walked to the gate of the beacon tower, he saw that the door was locked, and the young master frowned slightly. Seeing this, Moti looked towards the lookout port of the tower, and then he knew why the imperial envoy was frowning.

According to Qi Yun's military regulations, the beacon tower must be guarded by a team of garrison soldiers. At this time, not only was there no one guarding the beacon tower, but iron bars and chains were also added to the beacon porch.

"How unreasonable. I, Qi Yun's military code, whenever setting up a beacon, have one commander and one deputy. Each beacon has nine sub-commanders, and those who are believed to have a family will serve as deputy commanders. Nine beacons come and go to inspect and watch each time. How does Wan Jun manage the army with one person holding the ultimatum and two years of power?"

Seeing that the imperial envoy could not suppress his anger, Mo Ti quickly stepped forward to explain: "Sir, please calm down. When General Wan was here, he had been deploying beacon fire garrison troops according to military regulations... But before the Yuan Day Festival, Yanbei suddenly sent an order to withdraw the beacon fire garrison troops. Death."

After hearing this, Qi Tao suppressed the anger in his heart and forced himself to calm down. The situation in Yanbei at this time seemed to be a bit more severe than he expected. In just ten years, it had become so chaotic. During this trip, he not only had to What he wants to do is to find out the culprit who disturbed Yanbei, and more importantly, he has to organize the army for his father. When Yan Qingchuan returns from his visit, he will immediately report to his father and strictly investigate the matter in Yanbei.

Although the decision was made in his heart, the iron bars of the beacon tower were tightly locked at this time, so how to light the beacon fire.

The look on the imperial envoy's face fell into Mo Ti's eyes, and she knew what he was thinking. After thinking about it for a moment, she said to the young master: "Sir, I'm sorry."

After saying that, he took the young master's arm, used his internal strength, and jumped up. He was at the lookout point of the ten-foot-high pier. The two of them entered the beacon tower and were about to get straw and other things to light it. At this time, there was a loud noise in the distance.

Qi Tao and Mo Ti both looked back and looked at the direction where the sound came from, which was exactly the direction they were walking separately from the young man.

"Sure." When Mo Ti heard this momentum, her first reaction was that the young man was in trouble. Without time to think about it, she turned around and was about to leave, but was interrupted by the calm voice of the young master behind her.

"Mo Sicheng, wait a minute."

"Sir, that... is clearly because I am afraid that Young Master Mu will not be able to defeat him. No, I will never let my benefactor from Mo County die at the hands of thieves." Mo Ti did not care about the identity of the young master in front of him at the moment. When he spoke, he was ready to leave.

"It's too late for you to go now. If Ruomuyi is defeated, you will die in vain if you go. You must keep your life so that you can do more useful things for the people." Qi Tao remained calm and just went to get it. The hand holding the straw and other flammable objects trembled slightly, and it could be seen that he was also worried about the young man in green shirt.

After listening to the young master's words, Mo Ti frowned. She also knew that what he said was right. Even if she rushed there now, she would just die. There were more people waiting for her to save. After thinking about it, she clenched her silver teeth. , stepped forward to help, moved straw and other objects to the beacon tower, returned to the beacon tower to find hemp bags, wolf dung and other objects, and placed them in the burning trench to prevent wildfires from spreading.

Looking back at the Imperial Envoy, he motioned for him to step back a little, took out the firebrand he carried with him, lit the haystack, and watched the fire gradually rise as the winter wind blew by, frowning and speaking to the Imperial Envoy behind him.

"Sir, what's the next step?"

"wait."

——

To the east of Yu County and to the west of Mo County, there are patrol camps. They were originally set up to guard the people. At this moment, there was no warning scene in the camps. Instead, along with the sound of the wind, there were faint sounds of drinking orders and teasing... . When others saw this, if they had not seen the word "Patrol" written in the middle of the large banner that was blown by the winter wind above the military camp, they might have thought that they had arrived at a bandit's lair.

"I would like to offer you a bowl of wine to the general. Wan Jun was escorted to Beijing this time. Not to mention whether he can save his life if he returns to Yanbei. The general's revenge can be considered avenged."

The young man who spoke did not look like a general in the army. He was dressed in snow clothes and a fur cloak tied at an angle. He was holding a wine cup and toasting to the fat general with a fleshy face and a messy beard in the commanding position.

Unexpectedly, the general of the army did not feel at ease to lift the bowl and drink. Instead, he stood up and held the cup, showing great caution. The smile on his face was so big that it almost made his small eyes invisible. .

"How dare Gao Deng drink the wine offered by the young master after being promoted by the young master? It is all thanks to the young master that Gao Deng can be reused in important positions. I will give him a toast at the end."

Seeing the general's performance, the young man in snow clothes was very satisfied. He turned his back on guests and drank wine. When he put down the wine cup, the smile on his face had disappeared and turned into a frown and a sad look.

Seeing the appearance of the young man in snow clothes, Gordon, who had a sinister face, quickly stopped his smile. He looked around and saw no one else. He quickly stepped forward, wanting to accompany the smiling face, but he felt it was inappropriate, so he had to stand aside and wait patiently.

"It's been a while, and no one has heard from Yang Huchen, the one-armed man or the young man in green shirt..." The young man in snow clothes spoke slowly.

Hearing this, Gao Deng's plump cheeks broke out in cold sweat. Although his brother had been promoted to the magistrate of Langzhou, Gao Deng knew very well how he was released from the military prison of Wanjun and returned to his post.

Although there is only a small martial arts sect behind this young man, he has heard his brother mention that there are big figures behind this sect to back him up.

Even the two Gordon brothers had doubts in their hearts. It was still unclear whether the big man regarded Jin as the main one or Qi Yun as the main one. However, Gao Deng was told by his brother that his three brothers and sisters must serve him well in order to gain wealth. .

Thinking of his sister, Gao Deng couldn't hide his sadness. Since his sister was buried in Liuzhuang, brothers Gao Deng and Gao Lian openly stopped pursuing her, but they have been secretly sending people to investigate.

Finally, clues were found in Lingzhou. His brother-in-law Liu Piaopiao did not die in Liuzhuang with his sister as it appeared, but he secretly attempted to assassinate Wan Jun in Lingzhou and died in Lingzhou instead. In this way, how could the Gao Lian brothers not suspect that the death of their sister was done deliberately by the Golden Blade Sect to help the golden cicada escape from its shell.

Knowing that they could not afford to offend Jin Daomen and that man, the Gao Lian brothers suffered the loss of being mute and never mentioned their sister's death again...

The young man in snow clothes saw Gordon's eyes flashing beside him, sometimes hesitant, sometimes fierce. He knew what he was thinking, but the young man was not worried and continued to call softly: "General Gao... General Gao..."

Some people died, but not completely...
