The car Xia Jingyi borrowed from Qingxuanlou was parked beside a market that was usually quite noisy.
It should be said that it is worthy of being as big as Qingxuan Tower. The family is indeed rich and rich that ordinary people may not dare to imagine. Three horses are driving together. Although they are running through the streets and alleys where the snow has not cleared, there are no bumps. He is one of the top masters in Qingnikou. Even though he was used to being very delicate in the Qingxuan Building, Lingfei had no idea where the carriage and horse were going. Maybe it was because she was frightened many times today and was so worried that she lost her energy. He was so angry and unconscious that he huddled into a corner of the car tent and fell asleep.
Xia Jingyi was not busy walking out of the car tent, he just walked softly in front of Lingfei and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. But when I saw this girl with pitiable facial features, a glint on the corner of her mouth, and a very dishonest sleeping appearance, she actually rolled down from the corner of the taxi tent and still didn't wake up. She originally hugged her knees, but now she is His hands were wrapped around his head, and he was baring his teeth and claws.
The good-looking shopkeeper of Qingxuan Tower once said that this girl does not need to rely on her charming and elegant face to live her life. As long as she has heard two or three pieces of singing and seen less than one cup of tea dance, the soul of an ordinary person may be trapped. Live, not to mention that Mianpi is firmly in the top three seats in the building, but he is still young at the moment, has not yet opened his face, and has not yet shown too much of the seductive and heart-trembling taste that can overwhelm all living beings.
But Xia Jingyi had never seen this girl dance before, and felt that even when she spoke in anger, her tone was still like a silver bell, so she leaned down, feeling dumbfounded.
With such a sleeping state, I really can't imagine what it will be like during the dancing season. As for what the shopkeeper said, most of it is just bragging, otherwise how could he have such virtue.
But now is not the time to think about such things, and Xia Jingyi did not make any unnecessary moves. He just gently put the two heavy brocade clothes in the car tent on the little girl who was sleeping soundly, then stepped back and continued to cross his legs and close his eyes.
The matter of killing Yunzhong was never a single thought, but something that Xia Jingyi had been thinking about every day before he entered cultivation.
In the sword fight in the earth building in Yizhang's hometown, perhaps in the eyes of others, Xia Jingyi was not considered the loser, but the swordsman master of the Baihong Gang. After the battle at night, he had aged much in an instant. It seemed like this A vigorous sword fight consumes too much of the original energy and energy, but the battle is hard to win, but it is only because of fighting against the youngest disciple. After returning, he was unable to recover. He only left a place for himself as a guest, and went out to travel around the world. , so far there is no trace. But it was clearly such an attack and sword fight, and Xia Jingyi, who could not be considered a loser, was still much more aggrieved than running away after being defeated. The person fighting against was his sword master, but he was not in the eyes of others at all. .
With Xia Jingyi's temperament, he learned to sword very early, but it happened that the young man, who was also young, was fighting swords with his master without paying much attention to himself, which showed how humiliating he was.
Later, Xia Jingyi left the Baihong Gang to seek advice from experts. He entered the second realm in one step and the third realm in one step. He even vaguely saw the four realms. However, while practicing in seclusion, he always felt restless. Only then did he realize that his mind was The knot has never been solved, so I freed myself from the pain of self-cultivation and traveled around the world. Only then did I realize that my current state is already vaguely superior to that of my contemporaries, and few people can compete with me. After coming out of the mountain, Xia Jingyi only killed dozens of people from the Three Realms. Among them were octogenarians and those who were born with extraordinary talents but were not good at fighting to the death. Although they had some old wounds, they never missed, and they were close to three. In the realm, he only gained such a reputation with his powerful and majestic sword energy, which spanned half of the world. Even if he angered some old people in the immortal family on the mountain, he could still fight with the four realms over and over again. You can be proud of your ability to escape without harming your life.
However, Xia Jingyi never thought that at a time when he was already firmly among the top ten in the world, he would see the name Yun Zhong again.
After ten years of practicing swordsmanship and several years of enlightenment, my heart energy has never dropped, but has always been high. However, the two times when I was frustrated, it all fell on Yun Zhong. In addition, Xia Jingyi came all the way from afar to resolve the knot in his heart. All he wants is to kill someone.
Anyone who knows Xia Jingyi knows that he is arrogant and does not act according to common sense. He is also brave and fierce, leaving no room for anything. His temperament is the most eccentric. It leaves multiple back-up players, and the back-up players are not just those few masters. Leaving the matter of life and death to others,
It was a rather ridiculous idea, not to mention that Xia Jingyi had always been arrogant and arrogant. If he wanted to kill Yun Zhong, who had hurt his feelings twice, it would be best to do it with his own hands.
What stopped Xia Jingyi's thoughts for the time being was the girl who was sleeping in a very unsightly manner. When she turned over, she murmured two or three vague words in her sleep. The general idea was that there were no flowers and plants outside Qingnikou. When would spring start? She wanted to go back to the south. My shoulders are sore and tight from exertion.
Xia Jingyi, who had a calm expression at first smiled, then frowned.
The snow outside the car tent increased by three to five minutes, and finally I couldn't bear it anymore. Hundreds of thousands of flying snow were rushing like a drum, turning and falling. Even the wind could not blow it away. After a day or two of calm, it started to fall again. Waves of waves swooped in, submerging the traces of people who were in a hurry but not returning, into the boundless whiteness, as if the white silk was pulled up again to open the door to welcome guests.
There are four small buildings in the official office, and Ren Qingqian, who often talks about being pure and free from desires, slowly puts down the tea cup, raises his head and looks up at the sky where the white lotus has fallen to the ground. Although it is often the time when the snow falls, it is reasonable to say that it is the most beautiful place. Seek peace and quiet, and don’t have any trivial matters to worry about. The people who go out to clear the snow and keep the streets in Qingni Kou safe and smooth have also made arrangements in advance. As for the most trivial things, there is no need to arrange them by themselves, no matter how big or small they are. Everything must be done personally, but it is often easy to unintentionally block a good opportunity for others to show off their talents. It has long been a common rule to see through it without telling it inside and outside the court. It is said that everything goes as planned, and it should be seen that this scene makes the mind clear and stable.
But if you think about it carefully, there may not be two or three out of ten people in the world. Only those who are born as fools can get temporary blessings, have no distracting thoughts, and have no care for favor or disgrace.
"It's so cold. In the past, we couldn't see such a deserted sky in Zihao Imperial City. Most of it was covered by layers of clouds. But now that I've seen it with my own eyes, I always feel as uneasy as a beating drum."
"Brother, have you ever been short of money?"
The thin master of Qingxuan Tower suddenly spoke, leaving Ren Qingqian stunned.
Zihao's court officials were in the most humble positions. Their salaries may have been a bit tight, but in any case they were able to live comfortably. Perhaps it was because the saint was militaristic and suppressed civil servants many years ago. As a result of such a scene, the salary of civil servants is now much higher than that of military attachés, not to mention that for a high-ranking official like Ren Qinggan, although he has left Zihao Imperial City, his salary alone is higher than before. Better.
"Have you ever lacked power? If you think about it, if you can manage the outside of the customs properly, and rely on your brother's ability in Luowang, if you return to the imperial city one day, I am afraid that you will be ranked first or second grade, of course there will be no shortage. ." The owner of Qingxuan Tower also did not look at Ren Qingqian, who looked a little solemn for a moment. He also raised his head and looked into the depths of the vast snow. "The people in the mountains moved mountains and seas, thinking of destroying the city. It is precisely because there was no way to restrain the people in the mountains that they I always feel uneasy, precisely because I have never seen with my own eyes how powerful the people on the mountain are, and I always feel a little on tenterhooks. From what I can see, what my brother is afraid of is not the practitioners, but the unknown."
After a long while, Ren Qingqian smiled in relief.
The owner of the net that alone occupies nearly half of the imperial city has always been used to holding on to everything. Big and small matters, criticism and news, such as mosquitoes passing through, are all hanging on the net, and can be used at will. Besides, People who are in the fourth rank of officialdom and still have room for promotion, no matter how friendly they appear to be, in a pinch, they still have to keep everything under control.
But what made Ren Qingqian even more surprised was the master of Qingxuan Tower who was the best at hiding his edge. The two had known each other very early. When Ren Qingqian had just entered the court and held an official position, the master of Qingxuan Tower was just outside the customs and had a difficult time. Among the young beggars, after so many years, when we meet at a high place, there are some things that should not be said and some things that should be said, but with his usual behavior, he should not blurt out these words today.
"Looking at the world, it's hard to find a close friend."
At the Tiangong Terrace where the crowd had dispersed, an old Taoist opened his arms and gnawed on a leg of lamb with his lower belly exposed. The food was very poor. He could only eat three or two mouthfuls, and his beard was covered with oil. He was still unaware that even his cheeks were covered with grease. The oily frost was quickly frozen and turned white in this cold weather, but it was still cheerful and cheerful.
And not far from Tiangong Terrace, an extra mountain appeared out of thin air. If someone could see through the vast wind, snow and night, he would definitely be able to see a faintly visible figure on the mountain.
, dressed just like the accounting clerks in all the shops in the north, but his eyes were dark, and there were two more lanterns in the mountains. Not far away, there were two people, one tall, one short, one fat and one thin, leaning against the eighteen stone pillars outside the Tiangong Terrace. They were also looking up at the sky, seeing the wind and snow becoming more and more fierce, just like beacon smoke, pressing down on people's hearts. .
In an inn not far from Qingxuan Tower, the swordsman just packed up and frowned. He didn't care about the girl beside him chatting and complaining, but for some reason he sat cross-legged and also raised his eyes, staring at this place. Heavy snowfall that the North has not seen in decades.
Many things will come in this rush, not relying on the mountains and rivers, and wantonly sweeping away the wind and heavy snow on the eaves, and find the so-called destiny. But for Yun Zhong, this destiny is too fierce and stubborn. It was so sudden that I even blamed myself for not noticing it earlier.
It's late at night and the snow is heavy, and I hear the sound of bamboo snapping suddenly.
