Forty-one, another defeat

"Mount," she said again.

The old man in the shop ran quickly to his granddaughter without hesitation and got on his horse.

The woman urged her horse to stand in front of them, and then said: "Let's go."

The horse neighed, and the old man from the store galloped forward. He looked back and saw that the woman was still there, her figure shaped like a lake in the wind and snow.

"May I ask the knight—your name—" the old man in the store shouted hurriedly.

The wind and snow brought a woman's voice, gently floating: "Seven stars."

Seven stars, the old man in the store thought silently in his heart, the horse's hooves galloped, and then saw the sword light shining, the stable collapsed, the horses neighed, and the horses of the officers and soldiers galloped in all directions.

Snowflakes were flying all over the sky and the earth, falling into chaos.

But when it hits the knife, the snow on my face no longer stings sharply, but only feels cold.

The four of them swung their swords and fought their way out of the fog. They looked at the vast area ahead, with horses galloping everywhere, and it was impossible to tell where the people were going.

One person swung his sword angrily and said, "Bring the horses back."

Then one person raised his hand and whistled.

The other two people turned around quickly: "Go and see Zhang Canjun and the others."

.....

.....

A few pieces of charcoal were thrown into the brazier, Zhang Yuan held the fire tongs and fiddled with them until all the ashes splattered.

The officer standing nearby covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves: "Boss, don't touch it, it's not a good thing."

"Charcoal is good charcoal." Zhang Yuan said, "What is bad is the human heart."

He dropped the poker.

"I didn't expect that he would ejaculate us in the brazier."

Generally, the bacteria are invisible and colorless and can be put into food or water, but many are afraid of being burned by fire.

"This thief is quite capable. He can do such a thing."

The guard covered his nose and said, "Don't brag. You fell to the ground and hit the threshold, and you were almost knocked to death."

These words reminded Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan reached out and touched the back of his head, hissed twice, and glared at the officer: "Stop covering it, the *** is gone."

He looked around again, and saw that the soldiers and guards had all recovered. Some were adjusting their clothes, some were examining their injuries from falling and bumping, and some were talking in a low voice. This medicine is not poisonous, it just makes people faint. After being hit by cold water,

He woke up after pouring it.

Fortunately, he was wary of things like incense, so the four people hiding in the prison car kept their mouths and noses covered at all times, waiting for the culprit to deliver a fatal blow when he thought he had his way.

Zhang Yuan looked at the four people.

These four people were not his men, but masters found by the Hengcheng government.

"Then the old man and the young man ran away?" Zhang Yuan asked.

Although they didn't get the incense, the four of them didn't look very good. It was really embarrassing that the four of them joined forces and one old and one young escaped from the clutches.

"Master Zhang." They bowed their hands and said, "We are so ashamed."

Zhang Yuan didn't care and waved his hand: "Since I came here, I must be fully prepared, so it's not surprising that I escaped." He then asked, "How many people did they come?"

"Not many." One person said, "The old man and the young man are no match for us. Just when we were about to catch him, another person came."

Zhang Yuan asked: "A person?"

"The wind and snow were too heavy at that time, and the man was wrapped tightly, so he couldn't see his appearance and couldn't tell the difference between the man and the woman." Another person answered.

"This man uses a sword." Another person said and couldn't help but sigh, "It's so powerful. We were forced to retreat without even touching his sword."…

Zhang Yuan was not interested in this man's swordsmanship. He was an officer and soldier, and he never talked about fighting alone, only about arranging troops. No matter how good a person is in martial arts, it is impossible for a single tree to become a forest.

He looked at the wind and snow that was gradually dispersing and sneered: "It has attracted a lot of cocks, dogs, and thieves. Are you prepared, but I am not?"

After saying that, he turned around and called the guards.

"This bait has been used, let's move forward in separate groups."

"Let's see how capable Momen is."

...

...

The wind and snow stopped at night, and someone was there

The snow was cleared to prevent the snow from freezing and making it difficult to walk the next day. Some people took advantage of the wind and snow to stop and went out to buy goods to avoid being frozen early the next morning. There were also people who had been bored at home all day and ran out to have a good time when the wind and snow stopped.

Although Rencheng is not a big city, it is still very lively on winter nights. There are people walking around on the streets, the restaurants and tea shops are warm, and the inns are also crowded with people who want to stay overnight despite the wind and snow. There is no intention of leaving tonight.

"Did you see it? The officers and soldiers went out in the snow."

"I heard there was a fight outside."

"There are robbers."

"What kind of robbers are coming to our place?"

No matter how heavy the wind and snow are, it can't stop some fresh news from spreading. The shop assistant is holding a teapot to refill the tea for the guests, while listening to the fun.

"Did the fight start?" "Was it severe?" "How many people died?"

Just as we heard the excitement, another customer came in and called the shop assistant.

The store clerk hurriedly turned his head to answer, and saw the newcomer taking off his hood in the hall. Although there was still a thick scarf wrapped around his neck and half of his face, his high bun, fair forehead, and willow-leaf eyebrows were beautiful.

Her eyes make people know that this is a woman.

The woman was carrying a long and large baggage behind her back, which made her figure even thinner.

"Girl, do you want to eat or stay?" the waiter asked hurriedly.

"Stay." The woman said, "The horses have been given to the man. I want a room."

The store clerk responded loudly and personally led the woman inside: "There is hot water and a hot kang in the backyard. Girl, would you like some food? We have both northern and southern flavors in the store."

The woman asked, "A bowl of clear noodle soup and a pile of pickles will be enough." She took out some money and handed it to the store clerk, "Thank you for your hard work, please send me a room."

This money is enough for a bowl of noodles, so the rest is of course the errand fee. Being a generous customer, the shop assistant happily took the money and said, "Okay, I'll deliver it to you personally and make sure it's clean."

When he brought the food and knocked on the door, the woman opened the door again and had already unpacked her clothes.

"Girl, it's your face," the shop assistant said.

The woman reached out and took it. The clerk looked past her and saw a shelf in the room, which looked a little strange.

"It's an embroidery stand." the woman said, smiling slightly.

It turned out to be an embroiderer, and the workers were not allowed to rest day and night. The shop clerk nodded sympathetically: "I'll have someone bring you an extra lamp."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!......

...

Qixing used a long needle to pick out the lamp, and then placed the bronze mirror in front of the lamp, making the room brighter.

The prison car was not a ground dragon, but it was not surprising. The government already knew the identity of the ground dragon, so they must be on guard against Momen's accomplices.

Fortunately, we arrived in time, otherwise the grandfather and grandson would have died.

Now that the grandfather and grandson are alive, the news must be sent out, and other people can also be warned to avoid falling into the trap...

The most critical question now is, where is the ground dragon?

She looked at the embroidery frame, her fingers gently tracing on the silk, and the oil lamp danced, casting shadows on her face.

...

...

After a snowstorm, the weather was fine for the next few days, and the snow on the road melted.

Although there is no knife-like wind and snow, the roads are muddy, making it very difficult for those who are on the road. Even those with cars cannot walk that fast.

Not far away, you can see a car stuck in a mud puddle.

This is a carriage and horses escorted by officials.

The car got stuck in a mud puddle. Two officials pushed it from behind, and two officials pulled it from the front. With a few shouts, the car was finally pulled out. The shoes and clothes of the four people were also covered with muddy water.

"How can the road be so bad?" an official raised his foot to shake the mud and shouted angrily, "This is the official road leading to the capital, can't you see the government offices below?"

"Please stop saying a few words." Another officer glared at him, "This is not our concern. We will send you to build roads."

He emphasized his tone on us, how could a servant from the government below

You don't care about the quality of your official career, and you won't complain about yourself.

The official looked around subconsciously and saw that because they were pushing and pulling carts, the horses' hooves were trampling and splashing muddy water, and other pedestrians were avoiding them.

"I don't have any other meaning." He said in a loud voice, "Isn't this because I'm afraid that the escort lady will walk slowly, and the adults will be worried at home."

An old woman's voice came from the car: "Then stop talking nonsense and hurry up."

The official looked embarrassed and did not dare to say anything more. The coachman sat down in front of the car and drove forward on his horse.

Pedestrians on the road avoided the mud puddles and continued walking, talking among themselves.

"Where's the lady?"

"If you can be escorted by an official, your position is not low, right?"

"It must not be high, there are only four people."

However, these were irrelevant matters. It was common for official servants to escort official women. The passers-by left after a few words.

One of the pedestrians carrying a basket raised his hat, looked at the cars and horses going away in front of him, and quickened his pace to keep up.

[By the way, it is currently the best for reading and listening to books, @

The knife stabbed in, but there was no blood and only straw came out.

"It's fake." The officer shouted, then looked at the small window on the side, "You've been fooled!"

A few people in the room didn't say anything yet, and the people outside the door who were still watching the excitement laughed loudly: "It's so funny, what kind of trick is this."

The officer in the room looked ashamed, turned around and ran out with a knife in his hand: "Who are you! Are you an accomplice of the thieves?"

The man was not afraid at all and stretched his neck out: "Come on, kill me. Who do you ask me for? I am a filial and honest person. Who do I want to ask you for? In the middle of the night, a man pretends to be a woman. Come on."

Ah—there are bandits pretending to be officials here—"

The inn became noisy in the middle of the night.

Amidst the commotion, someone walked out of the inn, looked back, spit out a straw in his mouth, walked away quickly, and quickly disappeared into the night.

In the town where the sky is bright, vendors walking in the streets and alleys sell food and drink utensils loudly.

"Repair shoes." A vendor shouted while carrying a load with straw sandals dangling on it, "cloth shoes, fur shoes, straw sandals."

Shoes can be repaired and worn as long as they can be worn. The shoe repairman's business is very good. Not long after walking on the street, he met a customer. The shoe repairman put down his pick and turned a basket upside down for the customer to sit on, while he sat on it.

On the other basket, he held a big needle, neatly pulled through the straw rope, and repaired the entanglements on the shoes handed over by the guests.

"This is a trap." The guest whispered, crossing one leg and looking at the people on the street, "Don't come here."

The shoe repairman exclaimed: "I know, the repair is solid. Please give it a try, sir." He lowered his head and exerted force, and asked in a low voice, "Thank you for the trip. What do you call me?"

The guest took the straw sandals handed over by the shoe repairman and put them on. He lowered his head, patted and straightened his robes, and said, "Mengxi Chang of Nantang." Looking at the shoe repairman again, he smiled and said, "You're welcome. If you want to thank me, I should thank Mr. Cha of Dongtang.

He warned me that there was a trap, so I used a straw man to get through it, otherwise I would be the one trapped in the bone-locking golden mesh."

The shoe repairman rubbed the big array in front of him and smiled innocently: "It's best if you are good and I am good."

Meng Xi smiled, threw down a piece of money, and strode away.

Although it is good to say that everything is good, it is not all good now.

Unable to save anyone, their whereabouts are constantly exposed, making the matter even more troublesome.

Meng Xichang frowned...
