The west wind last night always makes it difficult for many people to sleep peacefully.
Chai Jiuqing felt a little groggy today, so he went to the governor's house much later than usual. He chatted with the two soldiers on duty outside the gate and gave him two pieces of jewelry made by his wife. After tea, I walked into the house sleepily. Whenever the sky is overcast and the west wind is angry, or the rain is pouring from the sky, the headache is the most difficult to stop. No matter how much the good wife at home rubs the big acupuncture points on the head and neck, there is still no improvement. Although the white jade beads are good, they still cannot get rid of the root cause of the problem.
Chai Jiuqing had no choice but to go into the main hall of the magistrate's mansion alone. After sitting calmly for a while, he felt a headache and pain pulling at the roots of his ears, and even his neck and face felt a little uncomfortable. I rushed to the altar, feeling very depressed. I reluctantly stood up, lit the incense, and slowly sat back behind the case.
This disease has been around for a long time. At first, when I was a teenager, I went on a boat trip to the lake in the middle of winter and fell into the water after getting drunk. Logically speaking, the lesions left behind should not have lasted for such a long time, but the lesions did get worse day by day. To this day, It has been nearly twenty years, and the headache pain has slowly passed away, with no sign of recovery.
The governor sat with his eyebrows raised, and suddenly he heard the sound of swords.
The next moment, the incense swayed slightly.
There was an extra person in the hall. He was wearing a bamboo hat and his face could not be seen clearly. However, although the sword on his waist was still in its sheath, the ringing sound was still there.
"My Lord Sheriff, you really know how to enjoy the autumn moon. This incense burner is very elegant, not to mention the charcoal fire in this hall. It's rude for me to come here to keep warm." The man's words were gentle and gentle, without any murderous intent. , the words were deserted and scattered in the main hall.
Chai Jiuqing, the leader, frowned slightly, but then became indifferent. He put away the book in front of him, looked directly at the bamboo hats of the people in the hall, and smiled slowly, "Since you have come to keep warm, and the autumn dew is thick, why not take off the bamboo hats and put them by the fire. Just let it go."
It suddenly started raining outside the house.
The first glimpse was just like ordinary rainwater, but when the rainwater fell to the ground, it never penetrated into the soil, but condensed into a strange small mirror. Almost in an instant, thousands of mirrors were connected one after another, beating the blades of grass or the roof. The green tiles on the head are also covered with ice one after another, like autumn frost.

"That's right." The man in the hall lifted his bamboo hat and put it aside. His white hair fell like a waterfall and he looked leisurely.
Chai Jiuqing breathed a long sigh of relief, and shook his head with a hint of blame.
"I haven't seen Master Ye for a long time. When I first arrived at the governor's house, he brought his horse with his majesty and frightened me, a scholar who has no power to tie a chicken. It's really unreasonable." Immediately, he raised his hand to order the servants to serve tea, but it was Ye Zhai, who was sitting firmly in the hall, raised his hand to stop him, puzzled for a moment.
"You can't tie a chicken with your hands, but the slightest thought may be enough to cause chaos in Fengyou County. The common people have already experienced the methods of the county governor, so they came here to disturb them," Ye Zhai always said. He was unhurried and measured. He didn't look like the leader of any sect, but just like an old Confucian scholar. He took off the long sword from his waist and laid it across his knees. "You and I had an appointment. The Sheriff is here to look for that person." The sight of this woman has caused me to share the worries of the county guards, and I have stood at the forefront of the storm, making a show of fighting against the caravan."
"The tree fell and the hozens dispersed. Before the giant tree collapsed, it was necessary to erect another giant tree, which caused a group of hozens to have two minds. When the old tree collapsed, they began to slowly peel off the outer bark of the old tree of Baihumen, making it It cannot grow, but slowly disperses. It is indeed a very good trick to make the people in the Jianghu of Fengyou County unable to rise again without a single blow."
Chai Jiuqing put away his smile, raised his eyebrows and sat down steadily.
Not to mention being from the Jianghu of Fengyou County, even many people who like to inquire about information know that the master of the Baihu Sect has never had any intention of competing with others. Moreover, compared with the heavily guarded caravan chief helmsman, he is definitely not The boundaries of Baihao Mountain that allow others to move around can be said to be extremely loose, and there is no obstruction to the passage. How can there be any intention to compete for supremacy in such a boundary.
"Master Ye Clan is complaining that I shouldn't make this plan, or does he have other intentions?"
When he asked this question, the smoke line in the mansion suddenly swayed again, along with the charcoal fire beside it.
However, Ye Zhai still had a cold and cold expression, showing no emotion or anger. Even Chai Jiuqing tried to see some clues in the eyes of this highly capable sect leader, but in the end he still found nothing. His eyes were bright, but Chai Jiuqing clearly understood I felt that what Ye Zhai was looking at at this moment was not the person in front of him.
"That's not the fault." The Chinese-haired man shook his head slowly.
"Since we have an appointment in advance, we should not interfere with the good plan of the county governor. If there are capable people in the caravan, they will be willing to accept this plan and be helpless. Compared with secretly plotting, I’m afraid it’s even more sophisticated than that.”
Ye Zhai's words are full of praise.
The man in front of me has been suffering from head wind syndrome for many years, and he still has hidden secrets and plans. With just one move, he can kill several birds with one stone, not to mention loosen the caravan, and provoke a deadly feud between the two. It's a sure thing, after all, there are few smart people in the world and more stupid people. If you want to solve this trick, it's not easy.
The rain outside the window lattice has spread to the window lattice at some point, condensing into a thin ice shell, as clear as jade, and the cold air is overwhelming. Pedestrians on the street have to avoid letting the freezing rain fall on them, and many people who are in a hurry have already scolded them. When he exited the house, he called out to God twice, put his hands into his sleeves, and waited for the rain to stop.
Fengyou County has always been able to catch this kind of strange rain in late autumn. When it has not fallen, it is just like ordinary rain, but when it hits the ground, it has turned into ice. This is probably because the sky is too cold and lonely, which is why this strange phenomenon occurs. , so even though I was feeling upset, it was really nothing unusual, so I had to avoid the cold rain for the time being and slow down my pace.
Outside the governor's house, two soldiers also noticed this scene and hurriedly stepped into the gate room to take shelter from the rain. Their armor was already freezing cold, and with the cold rain condensing on the ground, I am afraid that no matter how strong their bodies are, they would not be able to withstand the cold. . It was only at this moment that I realized that the two small gatehouses specially added here were really used to their full potential.
"My lord, it was my fault that I ruined my appearance." Ye Zhai noticed that the sound of raindrops outside seemed unusual, but he didn't pay attention to it. He just said calmly, "Gangs and sects, no matter what their private activities are, even if they are like the horse gang, Like a big gang that has done a lot of dirty things secretly, they also have to pay attention to their face. Defeat is a small matter. If you can't afford to lose, and you send people to attack and kill you secretly, you are giving up the gang's face, especially those who are blatant. share."
"Even if it is a secret attack without showing any face, the matter can still be exposed, but the county guard should never let the secret agent show his face. Such an action will not put the pressure on the three members of the Baihu Sect in front of everyone in the world. The plaque was smashed to pieces.”
"The defeat is to set up an ambush and kill. The fight is about victory. The victory is to attack and kill. It is clearly an attempt to provoke a fight between the two gangs, not to mention that the leader has already been revealed."
You can hear a needle drop in the hall.
The traces of carbon fire smoke are messy.
The very young-looking sect master raised his head, and the scabbard on his knees was trembling uncontrollably.
