"Creak."
A group of people stepped on the thick snow slope and looked ahead.
"Is this Juye City?"
A man-made glacier flows around the city. There is deep snow on the city walls, and black smoke rises into the sky, giving off a desolate and desolate atmosphere. .
This is very different from the Juye City that Ying Qing heard about, and it is also far from the city in Mu Qing's memory.
"Let's go."
Mu Qing took the lead and walked forward.
There was a fire burning inside the city gate, and there were several guards. When they saw a group of people coming from outside the city, they stood up quickly, but after taking a few steps, they quickly stepped back and huddled in front of the fire, not even looking at them. He went back and ignored Mu Qing and the others.
Gu Yinghe frowned and walked towards a few people, throwing down a spiritual stone: "We want to enter the city."
The spirit stone fell in front of a man with a scarred face. The man's breath was suffocated. His companion was about to reach out to pick it up, but he almost kicked him into the fire.
"You all have a distinguished status and do not need to pay the entry fee to enter the city."
The scar-faced man held the spirit stone in front of Gu Yinghe with great respect.
Gu Yinghe frowned: "Do you know who I am?"
The scar-faced man felt it was difficult to breathe for a moment and shook his head quickly: "No, I don't know you. But the gang leader has an order. Whenever my Shifang Gang guards the city gate, I must wipe my eyes clean and don't cause trouble."
"Everyone who comes to Juye City at this time is obviously someone we cannot afford to offend..."
The scar-faced man lowered his head and was still trying to explain. His companion pulled him and said, "Brother, they have left."
"gone?"
The scar-faced man was stunned. As expected, the woman was nowhere to be seen, but the spiritual stone was still in his hand.
The companion's eyes stopped on his hand with a heated gaze and asked: "These people are here with bad intentions. Do you want to report this to the gang leader?"
The scar-faced man held the spirit stone tightly with both hands. Hearing this, he kicked the person who came up with the idea and kicked him out. He said angrily: "I have been living in Beihuang for so many years and I have never seen such a high-quality spirit stone. Tell the gang leader , and then the gang leader asks us to go find out the news? We can’t find this kind of thing even if we want to die!”
The movement at the city gate reached the ears of Mu Qing and others.
Mu Qing walked on the familiar streets looking for memories, feeling the aura of secret prying, and said: "The Gu family gave up on Juye City?"
Gu Yinghe said in a deep voice: "I don't know. But I haven't sensed the presence of anyone from the Gu family for the time being."
While he was talking, the sky suddenly turned dark, and the wind and snow had arrived.
Mu Qing turned around and led everyone towards the north of the city.
In the north of the city, Longmen Inn.
The seemingly simple stone wall that can shield the wind and snow still stands quietly in place, but the stone tablet with "Longmen Inn" engraved on it is more severely weathered.
Along the way, Mu Qing talked to everyone about his experience in Juye City. When he arrived outside the inn, he happened to talk about his battle with the stragglers on the long street outside the door, disturbing the tranquility of the inn owner. At this time, the noise in the inn overwhelmed the wind and snow on the long street.
…
…
"Are there any pickled cabbage and white porridge?"
In the inn, Mu Qing led everyone to sit down in the center of the room, ignoring the appraising eyes around him, and asked the completely unfamiliar middle-aged man in front of him.
The middle-aged man was a little nervous. When he heard this, he grinned and glanced at the table of men and women with extraordinary temperaments. "Do you want a hero set meal?"
"Heroes Package?!"
Mu Qing was stunned, his originally straight face was a bit broken.
Murong Jing, who was sitting next to Mu Qing, tapped her finger on the table, "Yes, I want a hero set meal."
When the middle-aged man heard this, he quickly shouted to the chef: "Mom, the hero set meal."
"I know." A familiar voice came from the back kitchen and corrected: "There is no such thing as a hero set meal. It only has pickles and white porridge. You can't deceive the guests."
Everyone in the store laughed out loud for a moment.
Mu Qing was also laughing.
At the beginning, his strength was limited and he wanted to do a lot, but what he could do was really limited.
Murong Jing asked softly: "Are you worried that the original store is no longer there?"
Mu Qing nodded: "They didn't go south. I thought I had implicated them. It seems that the Gu family is not that ignorant."
Gu Yinghe was at the side, and Mu Qing looked at the casual cultivators in the inn who were busy but diligently eating. Without changing the topic, he continued: "I thought that without the Gu family, Juye City would become more and more chaotic. , I didn’t expect it to be such a scene now.”
Gu Yinghe said: "The bounty teams left in the city should still be in the stage of restricting each other. When the strength of one of them is far away from the second or third place, it will be no different from when the Gu family was in Juye City."
Mu Qing was thoughtful.
At this time, the middle-aged man who was the waiter walked out of the kitchen and placed the hot white porridge in front of everyone.
Just as Mu Qing was about to ask the man about the current situation of the inn, there was a sudden movement on his left: "Whoops——"
A chopstick hit the man on the back shoulder, and there was a shout and curse: "Gui Er, where is the wine we want? You would rather please outsiders than betray our Tianlong Gang, right?"
Gui Er was unsteady and was supported by Mu Qing who stood up. He quickly turned around and apologized: "The road is blocked by heavy snow. There is really no wine to buy. Please understand the third gang leader."
The one who took action was a man with rosacea, but when Gui Er apologized, he was facing a dark-faced man sitting at the top.
Mu Qing glanced away, wondering, isn't this a coincidence?
The black-faced man had the highest strength among the casual cultivators in the inn. He was in the early stages of transcending the world. From the moment they entered the inn, this man had been looking at him and Gu Yinghe in a rather subtle way.
Mu Qing asked: "Who is running this Longmen Inn now?"
Before Gui Er could speak, the rosacea stood up and deliberately pointed at Mu Qing and said provocatively: "Are you deaf or blind? Gui Er is a member of our Tianlong Gang, and this inn is naturally also a member of our Tianlong Gang." The inn.”
Mu Qing shook his head. It was good to know that the old man at the inn was still here when the wind and snow fell, but he couldn't accept that he was being robbed by force.
Mu Qing ignored the noisy rosacea and looked at Gui Er: "Are you from the Tianlong Gang?"
Gui Er lowered his head. He actually had some cultivation, but he was only a first-level spiritual being. Hearing this, he said bitterly: "In the past few years, I dreamed of finding an ancient battlefield that no one had discovered, and I also received a lot of bounties." The team has been there, and we are familiar with the brothers from the Tianlong Gang."
Gui Er was quite tangled when he spoke. He could feel that Mu Qing wanted to help him, but he knew that the Tianlong Gang was very powerful and did not want to cause trouble for these travelers.
After hearing what Gui Er said, Rosacea became even more arrogant and sneered: "It seems you want to deliberately find trouble?"
Mu Qing looked at the other tables of guests.
When he saw a scrawled man holding a sword, he suddenly said: "Old man Gui was beaten to death by them, but in the entire Juye City, only the Tianlong Gang still has some herbs."
The old woman in the kitchen noticed that the atmosphere in the inn was not right, and she found a small pot of white wine from nowhere. She walked tremblingly towards the rosacea area. She was about to apologize when she heard a gentle man's voice: " Madam, I’m also short of wine here.”
The old woman was about to cry, and the smile she forced on her face was uglier than crying. She turned around and looked at the man who was speaking, "Pa——"
The wine bottle fell from her hand to the ground, and the remaining half of the wine spilled out.
The old woman looked at Mu Qing's face, her eyes widened slightly, and she recognized who he was.
Mu Qing asked: "Where did this wine come from?"
The rosacea man tried hard to breathe in the lingering smell of alcohol. He glanced at his three gang leaders, but failed to get the instructions. He simply followed suit and asked, "Didn't you say there is no wine? Is the wine on the ground water?"
The old woman was comforted by Mu Qing's eyes, and she bowed slightly and replied: "It is true that there is no wine in the inn. I steamed this half jug of wine with grain. Time is tight, so I barely have half a jug. If no caravan arrives again, I’m afraid that in a few days, we won’t even be able to provide porridge and pickles.”
When other people in the inn heard that the half-pot of wine was steamed with stored grains, they suddenly looked at Rosacea with unkind eyes.
Rosacea immediately fell silent and sat down next to the black-faced man.
Mu Qing then made a move, took the wine bottle on the ground in his hand, walked up to the black-faced man and asked: "Is your Tianlong Gang connected with the Gu family?"
The black-faced man's heart tightened. He wanted to eavesdrop on the conversation between Mu Qing and the people around him, but all he saw was his mouth moving. At that time, he knew that Mu Qing was stronger than him. At this time, he already had the intention to retreat, coldly He glanced at Rosacea.
Rosacea immediately apologized to Gui Er and the old woman, and his attitude changed very quickly.
Mu Qing sat down where Rosacea was, and shook the wine bottle in his hand to the swordsman who spoke upright before: "Would you like a drink on a snowy night?"
The swordsman hesitated for a moment, then stood up and sat aside.
Gui Er quickly brought some brand new wine glasses.
Mu Qing took the empty wine bottle and poured it into the cup. As expected, the wine was poured out. Everyone in the inn became more energetic just by asking about the aroma of the wine. As Ying Qing also ran over to join in the fun, the casual cultivators also carried their glasses. I asked for a bowl of wine from an empty bowl.
Mu Qing raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "All of you who have been bounty hunters for a long time are actually very destined to me."
After Mu Qing drank a glass of wine, the three black-faced gang leaders who had been missed could no longer bear this situation. They stood up and asked: "Who are you? Even if you want to target our Tianlong Gang, you should reveal your identity now." !”
"Aiming at the Tianlong Gang?"
Mu Qing shook his head and said, "You are not worthy."
After hearing this, everyone put down the wine they had picked up.
The swordsman was quite embarrassed and revealed his identity: "I'm with Ye Tang from Shifang Gang, I don't know..."
"Mu Qing."
Mu Qing said.
Ye Tang suddenly opened his eyes wide.
The dark-faced man's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly rushed towards the door of the inn.
Mu Qing glanced at the door of the inn, and a sword energy appeared out of thin air, falling on the man together with Feng Xue.
"Plop——"
The man collapsed on the stone steps outside the gate.
The sound of "whirring" wind and snow came in, but the inn was surprisingly quiet.
Mu Qing apologized to the old woman: "I have to disturb the old lady again."
The old woman shook her head and let her son support her as she walked slowly to the kitchen.
Ye Tang had already stood up at this time and said in a deep voice: "Did the young master take action because of friendship with old friends, or because the Tianlong Gang has connections with the Gu family?"
Mu Qing motioned him to sit down again and said, "It's all."
Rosacea saw the three gang leaders of his family being killed and was already paralyzed on the ground. However, some people could not help but rush out. This time, they did not fall next to the three gang leaders.
Ye Tang sat down again, drank the wine in his glass, and said in a deep voice: "So that City Lord Mu will know that there is no big or small force in this city that has no connection with the Gu family. Do you want to kill us all? "
Mu Qing said: "I don't have the time. Brother Ye, are you willing to do me a favor?"
Some people died, but not completely...
