Hantianxueyuan borders the territory of the Three Kingdoms and covers a huge area.
Although it is a place outside the borders and outside the law, the Jianghu people of the Three Kingdoms are still entrenched in a close relationship.
The people of Dali are active in the area close to Dali, and the Liang Kingdom is also active. The Jianghu people of the Northwest Royal Court used to occupy the largest area in the snow field, but now they are shrinking and ready to move.
The current situation in Hantianxueyuan is not only due to the border between the three countries, but also due to the ice crystal snow lotus.
The snow lotus, which can stay beautiful and live long, is extremely valuable, so no one will allow the snowfield to belong to a certain country. Even the East China Sea Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties, which are not close to each other, are in favor of this matter.
There is a snow mountain called Wangyue Peak near Dali. There is a fertile snow lotus land on the top of the mountain.
Legend has it that when it was first discovered, there were more than thirty snow lotuses here.
A snow lotus weighs two or three taels, which is equal to twenty or thirty taels of gold, or two to three thousand taels of silver.
In Dali price conversion, one tael of silver is equivalent to one thousand soft sister coins.
One snow lotus is equivalent to two to three million soft sister coins, and thirty snow lotuses are a lot of zeros...
Nowadays, although the output of this snow lotus field is not as good as before, there were still nineteen snow lotus flowers picked six years ago.
Therefore, Wangyue Peak has always been a battleground for the major forces in the snowfield, and many masters and masters have fallen.
However, these are old things. Today, Wangyue Peak has its own ownership, and Hantianmen is located here.
…
"Tap tap tap..."
The disciples in the sect clean it day and night, but snow falls all day long, and the whole sect is still covered in silver.
A young man with handsome features but a somewhat sickly look walked through the courtyard path.
He had flowing hair, was dressed in rich clothes, and even his boots were inlaid with clear jade.
This person is the young sect leader of Hantian Clan—Gu Yuanqing.
The wedding is approaching, but there is nothing festive inside or outside Hantianmen. Although you can see a few bright red decorations, they look extremely perfunctory.
It seems that the wedding in a few days is not worth mentioning...
Gu Yuanqing came to the door of the master's study. His hand that originally wanted to push the door stiffened, and then he knocked on the door with his backhand.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk."
"Father, it's me."
After a while, an extremely weak voice came from the room, like a candle in the wind that might be extinguished at any time.
"Yuan Qing...is something wrong?"
Hearing the sound, fear appeared in Gu Yuanqing's eyes, he lowered his head and responded respectfully.
"Father, there's an avalanche in Xiafeng Ridge."
"..."
After a long silence, the voice of the master of Hantian Clan sounded again.
"Maybe something happened to the Xiaofeng Sect... There is a tunnel under the Xiaofeng Sect's mountain gate, and our poisonous man is inside."
"Send someone to find out who did it. In addition...bring back the poisonous person with strange eyes and scales, and you can take care of the other poisonous people."
"Yes." Gu Yuanqing agreed, but had no intention of leaving.
"What? Is there anything else?"
When his father asked, Gu Yuanqing said respectfully: "The Queen Mother has been at the Wu family for a few days, and I got the news that Sima Qing is also among the people escorting the Queen Mother this time."
"Sima Qing? Why didn't he find the rebels from the Red Lotus Sect and go to escort the Queen Mother?" The voice in the room was a little more surprised.
There are not many grandmasters in the world, and there are even fewer Jade Bone Grandmasters.
Therefore, in this circle, almost everyone knows about the master who has entered the Jade Bones and not returned to seclusion.
Gu Yuanqing: "My child also thought this was strange, so I sent someone down the mountain to inquire. Although I don't know why Sima Qing escorted me, my child still found out something."
"The Queen Mother was assassinated in Anhua City, Zhongzhou. The thieves were not successful. Rumors spread that the Red Lotus Sect was responsible for the assassination, and the leader was Yue Chaiqiu."
"Yue Chaiqiu? Has he defected to the Red Lotus Sect?" The voice in the room was surprised ×2.
Gu Yuanqing: "There is no evidence yet, but besides the Red Lotus Sect, who else could take action against the Queen Mother? But there is indeed another theory, and it's hard to tell."
"Huh? Let's talk about it."
"The failure of the assassination may be related to the reckless man who defected to the imperial court. There is a theory that he was a scapegoat of Fengtiansi..."
"Yue Chaiqiu defected to Fengtiansi?" The voice in the room was surprised ×3.
Gu Yuanqing lowered his head and said: "There is such a statement, but rumors are based on rumors, and it is difficult to tell whether it is true or false."
"However, the matter of defecting to Fengtiansi is quite clear-cut. It is said that it is the backbone of the development of a rookie next to King Luo. I heard that this person is King Luo's best friend in private. He is very handsome despite his average cultivation. He has solved strange cases in the capital. , Yunshui Villa was destroyed in the hands of this person."
"Yunshui Villa? Whose power is Yunshui Villa?" asked the leader of Hantian Clan.
"..." Gu Yuanqing pursed his lips and replied: "Youzhou, Linhai County, Tingshui County, the owner of the village is named Yun Zhiyang, he has a deep understanding of the peak, he was first abandoned by Feng Shanhe to cultivate, and then by Jiang Wuji Beheaded, Jiang Wuji will be the popular person next to King Luo."
The wind and snow were very strong. Although Gu Yuanqing was standing under the eaves, a lot of snowflakes still fell on his body.
After a while, the leader of Hantian Clan asked, "What are your plans for coming here?"
"I don't dare." Gu Yuanqing swallowed his saliva and said: "Father should decide the affairs of the sect. I just want to ask. This time Fengtian Division not only sent Sima Qing, but also the rising star. Escort...Should the child go down the mountain to visit, and test his desires by the way?"
"Visit? Huh..."
There was a sound of chewing in the room, and after a moment, the master of Hantian Clan spoke again.
"The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. How can Fengtiansi have time to care about us?"
"You have to remember, this is Hantian Snowfield, not Dali, not Liang Kingdom, and certainly not the Northwest Royal Court."
"Visit Fengtiansi? When my father's work is completed, the Wu family will have to surrender at the feet of you and me, father and son. By then, what can a mere Fengtiansi do to me?"
"Your wedding is coming soon. My father has looked it over carefully for you. Shen Rongrong is exactly the person you need. After getting married, you will have a good time. Before that, just do other things."
"It's father." Gu Yuanqing responded and was about to turn around and leave when there was another sound in the house.
"Don't worry, you come in and clean up for my father, and then take the two of them to take the holy medicine."
Hearing this, Gu Yuanqing frowned. Although he was disgusted, he still pushed the door open without any hesitation.
"Zhiqua——"
The strong smell of rust mixed with an indescribable odor hit his face, and the scene inside the house appeared before his eyes.
There are large and dirty traces left on the ground. It is not difficult to tell that they are caused by blood stains time and time again.
It is impossible to clean this land.
Two women were curled up in the corner of the main hall. In this cold snow field, they were both naked, and their cold eyes were empty and unfocused.
On the cold stone table, there lay a disemboweled female corpse. The thick blood covered the jade bowl and was flowing down the edge of the table.
There was a look of pain on the dead gray face. If Ji Xinghai saw it, he would definitely be able to identify the female corpse.
At the foot of the mountain, the wine house...
The candlelight flickered, and an unusually tall figure could be vaguely seen behind the curtain.
In his hand, he seems to be carrying a child...
…
