In the cold wind, the city gate was slowly pushed open to both sides. The snowflakes falling all over the sky were blown into the doorway in an instant by the new wind.
The few soldiers who opened the city gate all wore thick cotton-padded jackets under their armor, but they were still curled up by the cold wind, and everyone had runny noses from the cold.
The city was very prosperous, and the noise of idlers laughing could be heard from the street restaurants in the distance.
Dozens of soldiers hunkered down at the city gate just looked around, the cold wind blowing heavily with the heavy snow. The soldiers on duty today couldn't stop complaining to each other.
Although the city gates are wide open, there are no people going inside or outside the city.
"The King of Jin will destroy Daliang tomorrow and go south. I must move my family to the south. I will freeze to death..."
"It's hard to say. In the past few years, we have been fighting with the Liang Kingdom. We have lost more and won less. The army has reported flying in the past two days. I heard that there is going to be another war. A while ago, there was Luzhou..."
Before one of the military men finished speaking, there was a sound of trampling horse hooves from the main street leading to the inner city.
The few soldiers who were chatting suddenly stopped talking and straightened their backs.
The only people who could ride horses in the city were the messengers with military reports and the high officials who could ignore the law.
From a distance, I saw two horses galloping towards me.
Because the streets that had been swept in the morning were covered with snow again, the black hooves of the black horse in front trampled the snow in the middle of the road and splashed it everywhere.
When the two riders got closer, everyone finally got a clear look.
Although he is not a high-ranking official, as a member of Tongwen Hall, he has some privileges that are natural to him.
"Get out of the way, Commander-in-Chief..."
The little officer with slightly different armor on his body called his subordinates repeatedly to move the pile stuck at the city gate.
The two riders coming out of the city were naturally Li Jing and Bago.
Both of them are martial arts practitioners, and they have internal protection in their bodies, so they are naturally not afraid of frost and cold. In addition to her iconic tights, Bago also has a specially crafted weapon on her back, an object called a silk reel.
This thing is said to be a weapon, but it is more like an auxiliary thing. It has a unique shape, with six iron-clad wooden handles extending from Bago's back. Each wooden handle can diffract an unmemorable range of silk threads.
Combined with the poisonous snake around Bago's neck that can turn living people into puppets, it is perfect for use.
Because of this, many generals on duty in the city also got to know this bad-tempered femme fatale. Yesterday he took people out of the city to hunt, but he whipped two soldiers who had no eyesight.
As for Li Jing who was following behind, she was just wearing a black short coat and looked ordinary. If it weren't for the long and wide sword case carried on his back, he probably wouldn't have attracted anyone's attention.
The two rode horses to the city gate and galloped out amid the flattering smiles of the officers on duty.
"Boss, who is this? Tsk, tsk, tsk, those legs, that waist..."
After the two of them galloped away, one of the soldiers, Xu Shi, had always had a good relationship with the young officer, and because of the cold, he thought about Bago's cold appearance and laughed out loud.
The young officer's face darkened, and he slapped his brother-in-law on the back of the head.
Separated by a layer of iron helmet, the soldier felt the slap buzzing.
"Straight bitch, you kid is going to die! This is the Living King of Hell of Tongwen Hall! She is also a member of the same clan as King Jin! How many of you have the guts to criticize her?"
The soldier covered his head and looked at the direction the two people were leaving with a dumb look on his face.
…………
The snowflakes falling from the gray sky just wiped the cheeks and flew backwards while running at high speed.
Li Jing rode the strong brown horse and squinted at the scene around the fields.
Since it is close to Taiyuan, looking out from both sides of this wide official road, you can still see the outline of the village in the distance.
There was heavy snow covering the sky, and even with Li Jing's eyesight, she could only see some shapes that resembled the lake. On the contrary, the smoke rising from time to time is eye-catching in the snow-white scenery, adding a bit of human smoke and fire to the world submerged in heavy snow.
"You've been hanging in the back, what are you doing?"
Bago, who was riding quickly in front, suddenly slowed down and turned his pretty melon-shaped face with a frown.
Li Jing came back to her senses, stepped forward with the horse's belly between her legs, and subconsciously glanced at her long legs full of power and beauty.
"Lord Captain, you and I are leaving the city in such a hurry, but I don't know where we are going?"
How could Li Jing's little moves be hidden from Bago, but even though Li Jing was blatantly watching, she just raised the corners of her mouth and pinched the horse's belly proudly.
"Didn't I just tell you that I would take you to Tongwen Hall?"
Li Jing suddenly realized that Tongwen Museum was not in Taiyuan City...
So the two of them walked forward for half a stick of incense before they arrived at a large manor that occupied a large area.
In terms of size alone, it is comparable to a small town.
The blue-grey city wall winds out along a river, and I don't know how far it is. Several miles in radius are within the scope it occupies. The rather bookish doorway was just filled with the flickering figures of countless people walking in and out despite the heavy snow.
From the door to the outside, there is a road paved with blue bricks. It is a weather with heavy snow covering the ground. The door is dozens of feet away, but it has been cleaned cleanly.
Here is the general helm of the Tongwen Pavilion built by Li Siyuan on the order of Jin Wang Li Keyong. Just looking from the outside is enough to see how prosperous the interior construction is and how extensive the layout is.
The two white cloth-armored guards standing at the door raised their hands to stop Li Jing from a distance.
But Bago ignored him and actually ran all the way past.
With her on his back, Li Jing was naturally not afraid and patted her horse to catch up. The two of them were almost a few feet away from the door before they stopped their horses.
"The First Minister of the Ming Dynasty"
Bago put on his cowhide boots and jumped off the horse.
"This divine horse must be taken good care of by Captain Ben."
Only then did the two guards see Bago's face clearly, and then, amid her casual instructions, they took the reins of their mounts.
It's hard to tell that Bago's status in Tongwen Hall is not low.
But it may also be related to his violent and domineering temperament...
Li Jing carried the sword box on her back and strode into the Tongwen Hall with her head held high, following Bago.
Having such an obvious identity is very satisfying.
"You followed me to see the captain first. When the captain mentioned you to him yesterday, he wanted to meet you."
Bago walked in front with his long legs. Although Li Jing was two steps behind, the distance between them never widened.
"Remember, the most indispensable thing in this hall is big shots. Although you are my subordinate, Bago, you must be careful. Although the heads of the various sects generally do not come here, they may bump into you if you are not careful. "
Seeing that Li Jing just looked like he had never seen the world, looking around at the surrounding scenery, Bago frowned, stopped and asked in a deep voice.
Li Jing nodded slightly, indicating that he had listened.
According to Bago, the Tongwen Museum is divided into two sides: front and back.
To put it bluntly, people like Li Siyuan usually stay in the depths of Tongwen Hall and do not casually come to the office area in front. In the chaotic place in front, people with the status of Ba Ge are the tallest.
However, Li Jing raised her eyebrows and saw a man with flowing silver hair walking out from the depths of Tongwen Hall.
