The wind had stopped long ago, but the snow was falling heavier and heavier.
It was already past the ugly time, but the lamps were still on in a thatched house next to Lianhe River. The dim yellow light from the fire faintly reflected the pale surroundings.
"Squeak~~" After a soft sound, a figure in black closed the door and entered the hut.
There were two ghost-faced men sitting inside, warming themselves around the stove.
"What's going on? Is there any news about them?" one of them asked the figure in black who came in.
The figure in black bowed and held his hand, and reported seriously: "Back to the two ghosts, we have searched for miles around, but we still can't find anyone from the Yuxu group."
The two ghosts looked at each other and seemed to understand each other's thoughts.
"You go down first." The ghost on the left said solemnly.
After hearing this, the figure in black silently opened the door and went out.
"The Yuxu Group reported earlier that people from the Ruozhou Xu family were found in the Shunshun Inn. Could it be them?" The ghost on the right leaned forward slightly and said with half-squinted eyes.
Xu family...
Although Jiudian is not afraid of any force, it will not be hostile to others at will, let alone the Xu family.
"There are thirty-seven people in the Yuxu group. Although they are all outsiders, their martial arts are not bad. If the opponent's strength is not much stronger than them, why don't they leave any traces?" Hum, this Leizhou City has this There are only two or three sects with strength. Even if we borrow ten of their courage, they would never dare to go against us. The Xu family... they are the only ones who have both strength and courage. But, why do they want to interfere in this matter? ? Could it be that they want to please the emperor?"
Mei Yuanchen was the adopted son of the King of Jaw, and when Emperor Ruilin Xia Chengxuan was still the crown prince of the King of Jaw, the two were inseparable, and many people knew about this. Although he refused all the titles, his relationship with the emperor was there. The Xu family had always been active in the political situation. It was not impossible for them to protect Mei Yuanchen and please the emperor.
"Three ghost envoys, if it is really the Xu family who sent someone to do it, we can't make decisions without authorization. We have to report it to Master Ming." The ghost-faced man on the right said seriously.
They were ordered to intercept Mei Yuanchen this time. Because they knew he was seriously injured, they only brought three groups of people. Now that a group has been lost before a fight, how can one dare to act rashly at this time? The Xu family is not an ordinary Jianghu sect. They have made it clear that they want to protect Mei Yuanchen, and Jiu Dian has to make some considerations.
Fortunately, in this trip, they are just people doing the work, and there is Jiu Qingqing above them.
That night in the government office of Anxianyan, Hate Hongchen took advantage of the chaos and took away the two babies. This incident made Zhang Suiguang very angry.
Jiudian does not kill the emperor's relatives, De Gao, infants, or pregnant women. This is just to show others. Xia Muren and the others dare to kill. Xuan Yue and the others dare to kill. Now that they have decided to kill Mei Siyuan, they naturally It was meant to be uprooted and the whole family exterminated. How could two babies be left behind who might come to take revenge?
He just hated Hongchen for handing over the two babies to people from Suxin Palace, and asked Yun Xiaoyang to send someone to send them back to Tianxinzhou. No matter how much Jiudian wanted to kill them, he couldn't rush to the main hall of Suxin Palace to kill them, so he had to give up the matter.
Mei Yuanchen is different.
Hu Xiwei was grateful for Mei Siyuan's sincerity and intended to leave him a queen, so he chose to take action only after Mei Yuanchen left Jinzhou. When Jiudian took stock of the scene, Mei Yuanchen was not found, so Jiu Qingwu sent people to chase him. However, Mei Yuanchen's mount was the good horse "Black Wind". They chased to the outskirts of the capital but failed to catch up, so they had to give up.
After Li Xuici sent people to attack the Salt Government Office to assassinate Mei Siyuan and failed, he reported to Zhang Suiguang: "Mei Siyuan has a son, who was adopted by Xia Muchao as his adopted son. He has extremely high martial arts, very fast attacks, and can count in an instant. Death spot."
This was what the Salt Gang told Li Xuexi that day after asking for it from the outside lookout. Although Li Xuexi didn't fully believe it, he reported it to Zhang Suiguang.
"To count a person's fatal points in an instant? Who has such martial arts in today's martial arts world! Yi Qilin is known for his fast sword that controls the wind. He can kill several people in an instant. However, if he is asked to count a person's fatal points, it may not be possible. It can be done. Even if Yi Qilin can't do it, who in the world can beat him?"
Zhang Suiguang smiled after hearing this and just said: "Just kill him."
Jiu Qingqing went to Jinzhou, let Mei Yuanchen go, and let Hen Hongchen leave Jiudian. Zhang Suiguang was naturally very dissatisfied with him.
However, after all, he was an old man in the palace for more than thirty years, so he couldn't just kill him, so he was given a chance to make a difference and asked him to lead people to kill Mei Yuanchen.
The people of Jiudian squatted for a long time without finding a chance. Just as they were hesitating, they heard that after learning about the incident in Jinzhou, he vomited blood and fell to the ground and passed out.
"It would be better to die! It would be better to die!" In those days, Jiu Qingqing prayed every day, hoping that Mei Yuanchen would die like this. Unfortunately, he waited for four months and still did not hear the news of Mei Yuanchen's death.
Just as he was in a state of panic, his subordinates came to report that Mei Yuanchen and a woman had left the eldest princess's residence, with no one accompanying them. Jiu Qingqing was relieved and hurriedly sent people to follow him all the way, telling them to take action when they found an opportunity.
For more than two thousand miles from the capital to the outside of Leizhou, Jiudian took action no less than fifteen times, but was secretly blocked one by one.
"There are at least two groups of people who took action. One of them is undoubtedly a Taoist priest from Zhenwu Temple, but the other group doesn't know its origin."
Fortunately, after arriving in Leizhou, the group of people was no longer found. They seemed to have lost them on the Lianhe River. This was a good time for them to take action.
The two ghosts discussed it and decided to do it at night. Little did they know that before anyone could sneak in, there was no news.
They have been traveling around the world for many years, so they naturally expected that they would be killed by others.
"Well, without further ado, I'm going to report to Master Ming and ask him to make an idea." The three ghost envoys nodded, stood up and walked to the door, "Four ghost envoys, although we won't take action, we will We also have to watch the ban, don’t let them escape!”
"This is natural." The four ghosts responded.
"Ang~~~Ang~~~" After a sound of horses, the riverside returned to its previous tranquility.
... ...
The snow kept falling, and Duanmuyu kept leaning against the window and watching.
The snow cloak sent by Xu Xugong was exquisitely made. When it was draped on him, it was indeed a perfect match between the person and the person.
"Young Master, it's time to go to bed." Mu Qian took two steps closer and advised in a gentle voice.
Although the snowfall scene was beautiful, it was just mediocre after looking at it for a long time. Anyway, he didn't think it was that strange. However, he still thought about the whole fish feast at the farmer's house last night.
"Mu Jie, if you're sleepy, go to bed earlier. I'm not sleepy yet." Duan Muyu reached out to catch the snow outside the window and laughed softly.
Raindrops are like threads, connecting heaven and earth. If you touch the rain with your hands, you may be able to sense God's will.
The falling snow geese is swaying, intermittent, and seems to come randomly.
"It has been the Duanmu family's destiny to conquer Dahua in the north. As long as I try my best to do it, what else will fate do to me?"
Duanmuyu raised his head and smiled.
