In the night, a man and a woman walked towards a brightly lit Western Region border city, but the man and a woman were moving in a strange way. The woman carried a man and a purple box on her back. Both men and women looked very beautiful, both of them looked like gold paper, and their faces were sallow, which was quite sympathetic.

The woman glanced at the city that was particularly striking in the night and asked coldly: "This is the city you never sleep in? Why do you have to come here? You have many choices to get rid of the old mad dog's pursuit."

The man pulled the corner of his mouth, his smile was difficult and forced, "This city is actually called Xuelian City. If you are lucky, there will be what we need in the city."

The young woman with a bad face but extremely outstanding face frowned and said, "Snow Lotus? Do you need to use it as medicine to heal your wounds?"

There are so many metaphors to describe a woman's beauty, such as the falling fish, falling geese, closing the moon, shy flowers, and the beauty of the country, but there is no statement that can compare to the weight of those four words, and it is peerless.

Only one generation has such a glory.

Then this woman may be worthy of this statement at this time. Even if she is not the only one, she is one of the four.

In terms of appearance, the man who was actually quite matched with a woman did not give any explanation. Instead, he raised his head slightly and looked at the city where music and dancing and dancing every night. When he was stunned, his head hurt. It turned out that he had turned his head and bumped her. He was so angry that he had suffered countless unrestrained disasters: "So what's wrong? Since I woke up, you said you wanted to carry me. I wrapped my hands around your neck and wanted to be thrown a few feet away by you. Then I just gently held your shoulders and threw me out again. My hands had to be hunched on my chest. I didn't dare to put them in any place. Do you still think I was frivolous? Jiang Ni! Why don't you just chop my hands?!"

The guy accidentally rubbed her hair on the temples and felt itchy. Now it was this guy quarreling in his ears that made her feel upset. She tilted her head without any hesitation, and her two heads hit each other hard, which was clearly a move to kill a thousand enemies and hurt her own 800 times. She said angrily: "I want to chop and feed the dog, but even the dog is not happy to eat it!"

He scrambled to compete with each other with no grace, "You are a dog, otherwise how would you know if the dog eats it?"

Xuelian City is a small city outside the pass that connects the Western Regions with Nanzhao and Western Shu, which shows a horn-like pass. This city is famous for its residents picking lotus flowers for generations. Among the nine countries in the Spring and Autumn Period, not to mention the water towers of Nanzhao, Western Shu, even the Liyang royal family, who was ridiculed as the Northern Barbarian, would also specially add a snow lotus to first-class tribute. Now the preciousness of snow lotus is almost comparable to the Haidongqing of the two Liaos. Xuelian is recognized as the king of herbs, but it grows on the cliffs of a thousand feet high peak, just like looking for a needle in a vast snow haystack. Moreover, the flowering period of snow lotus is extremely long, ranging from fifteen to thirty years, which is comparable to a woman waiting for her name. Therefore, many lotus pickers often find a snow lotus that is in bud, but needs descendants to pick it off, and eventually they are robbed.

Sold to the Central Plains rich men who have been waiting in the city for many years at sky-high prices. Xuelian City is named after Xuelian. All the joys and sorrows of more than 3,000 local residents are also revolving around these snow-white objects. With the increasing scarcity of such things in the past 30 years, almost every snow-loving world has not only made Xuelian City suddenly wake up like an old man who was dozing off the streets, but also put the city in a bloody and bloody rain. Back then, the spies from various countries lurking here with pseudonyms, the courts of various dynasties who were squatting here to complete the tribute task, the hawks and dogs of governments who were favoring separatist forces under the banner of the Weaving Bureau of the State, and the heroes of the martial arts who fought for the fate of the world, were more likely to make money overnight with Xuelian, and the merchants who hoped to get rich overnight with Xuelian, all kinds of religions and dragons and snakes.

Of course, there would be no night ban in this masterless city. After she walked into the city with him on her back, she stood on the still noisy street with tourists, a little confused. Find a place to rest? But that would require money? But they didn't.

The guy said angrily: "Not mentioning the level of murder ability, I said you are a sword immortal who can control swords for thousands of miles. Even if you are short of money, what's wrong with staying in an inn? Whoever dares to ask you for money, you can use the sword to chop his ancestors for 18 generations until they are convinced. That's the one who is so proud of the "Yue Go Inn" flag. If you don't have the face to eat the king's meal, I'll make sense to the inn shopkeeper later."

She suppressed her anger, but she followed his words and walked into the inn on the first floor of the house, which was still full of drinkers. As soon as she stepped into the threshold, everyone turned to stare at the two strange men who "women carry men on their backs and men carry boxes". The guy behind her also added fuel to the fire: "If you stay in a hotel, you need a room."

The shopkeeper is an old man with a grudge of horoscopes. He was lying on the counter sleepy eyes and yawning. After seeing such a pair of ragged but extraordinary young men and women, he glanced at him and felt shocked. The rosewood box, which is a large and powerful weapon, is worthless. Why did the Jianglong, who is destined to be rich in family, come to such a small temple? The Bodhisattva is too big, and it is really a small temple. The key is that it is now a sensitive moment when two snow lotus appear together... I silently recite the blessing of the Buddha in my heart, and the shopkeeper sighed.

He swears, squeezes out his smile, and walks around the counter personally, and takes them to a secluded wing room on the third floor. Without the old man's words, the shop's shop's shop, who is usually lazy than a pig, brings the best tea on his own. He squinted his eyes at the shop's shop's dementia. The old man pulled him out of the house hard, bent down and closed the door and scolded softly: "You little bastard have a big heart. You can also look like a fairy-looking woman? Do your work well, save money, and honestly marry Xiaomei from the next wine shop, and then you will be content in your life!"

The shop clerk said in grief: "If you look at that girl a few more times, you won't lose a few taels of meat!"

The old shopkeeper slapped the guy in the head, "There are a lot of meat, it's hard to say whether you will lose a few pounds of meat in a bastard! The woman looked weak, but she must be a martial artist."

The young man's eyes lit up, "I'm so pretty and a man from the world. Could it be that famous purple bamboo fairy? Could it be that purple bamboo knife is contained in the box? Hey, isn't it just right for the purple bamboo knife to be installed in the purple box to be filled with purple bamboo sword?"

After the old shopkeeper put his hands on his face, he said with a self-deprecating look on his face: "Don't think about it, Fairy Zizhu has long been the guest of honor for General Liu in the city."

The young man whispered: "It's strange, why are we now more fairy heroines with the word "purple"? It seems that the fairy in Purple shirt and the fairy in Purple Sword came to the city to buy snow lotus last year?"

The old shopkeeper rolled his eyes and said, "God knows. If you have the ability, please ask these fairies in person?"

Inside the house, she threw the guy on the bed, placed the red sandalwood sword box on the table, sat on the chair and closed her eyes to rest. First, she drove thousands of miles from Guangling Road, which was misty and rainy to the desert of the Western Regions. As soon as her feet landed, she had to go to the old Beimang dog with life hanging by a thread. Then she had to escape with the burden for hundreds of miles without breathing for a moment, which made her body extremely chaotic, and a blood mark with a deep bone visible on her neck, which was only sloppy. If it weren't for the old man named Li Mibi who later learned that he had known for his life, he would have to be distracted to protect Tuoba Bodhisattva.

She might not be able to reach this city for Sa’s safety. The level of realm and the advantages and disadvantages of killing techniques, whether it was the old man in sheep-skin fur who taught her to practice calligraphy rather than swords, or the uncle Cao, who taught her to practice calligraphy, she had clearly explained the difference between the two. In the heavy rain when she first met, she drove the rain and mud to make thousands of swords and set up two sword formations. Li Mibi still broke the sword formation without any effort. On the way to escape, she did her best and everything could be turned into a three-foot sword, but Li Mibi always walked in the garden, following her like a shadow.

The man was Xu Fengnian who survived the disaster. At this moment, he was lying on the bed and whispered: "Although Li Mibi only has the Xuan realm, his path is somewhat similar to that of the human cat Han Shengxuan. He is invincible at the same level. As for the ordinary celestial realm, it is difficult to suppress him. Otherwise, he would not be the ancestor of the Beimang spy web spy. But although he broke the sword formation at that time and showed his style as a master, your sword formation often made the old man frightened, but you can't tell it. If he doesn't hit the swollen face and pretend to be fat, he will be so scared that you will only defend and not attack. If you kill Tuoba Bodhisattva, how could he slip back and get in the relationship with the Empress Beimang?"

She sneered, "Blame me?"

Without waiting for the guy's unexpected rebuttal to Mai Mang, she became even more furious and said angrily: "Someone was unable to kill his opponent in one breath, and he almost took his head back to receive a reward. He is really amazing. He is one of the four great masters in the world! If I remember correctly, what else would have said in the world that the new Martial Emperor after the old monster Wang? Tsk tsk, it was someone who spent money to hire someone to help him make a fool of himself in the world?"

Xu Fengnian was so angry that he said: "Please, the person who was almost killed by me at that time was not a three-legged cat, but a Bodhisattva Tuoba. If Li Mibi didn't come out to disturb the situation, I would sway to the border of Liangmang, and rode alone in the formation. The head of their Beimang military god would be hung on the gun. Is it good? Then Beimang's morale would fall to the bottom, which would be more useful than killing their 200,000 cavalry on the border. Simply put, we Beiliang could die 100,000 less than that of our Beiliang..."

Jiang Ni interrupted his foolish conversation, sneering: "The result is that he is not hiding here like a stray dog."

Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "If I am a betrayal dog, how good are you? Aren't we a dog? "

Jiang Ni never returned the words for the first time and remained silent.

Xu Fengnian sat up barely and looked at the lights outside the window as daylight, "Tuoba Bodhisattva recovered faster than me. With Li Mibi, who is skilled in intercepting and setting up ambush, we can only delay the time and go south, and can only wait for Xu Yanbing and Dan Tai to lead people south, forcing Tuoba Bodhisattva and Li Mibi to give up the pursuit. I think at most half a day, they will give up and secretly return to Beimang. There are great risks in this gambling. Even if Li Mibi is willing to pull Tuoba Bodhisattva to bet with me, Beimang Taiping Order will not agree. Tuoba Bodhisattva knows the importance of it."

Jiang Ni Leng Qingqing asked, "When can you get down to walk?"

Xu Fengnian smiled bitterly and said, "It will take about two days. It may only take one day to chase the Snow Lotus City with traces, which means you may have to fight another game. Of course, this is the worst ending. If my luck is not so bad, maybe they are already back north now."

Xu Fengnian suddenly looked exhausted and said helplessly: "But my luck now doesn't seem to be very good."

Jiang Ni frowned, "Just your half-dead virtue, why do you ask for snow lotus from others?"

Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "You don't think that a dignified snow lotus city does not have a place where I am Beiliang hide my strength, right?"

Jiang Ni couldn't help but turn his head and asked, "Did this inn be run by a spy from Beiliang?"

Xu Fengnian joked: "Do you think it will be so shabby?"

Jiang Ni, who hated the most, was led by this guy, glared at him.

Xu Fengnian sat against the bed railing and smiled and said, "I'll ask you and the old shopkeeper to ask for a late-night snack."

Jiang Ni hesitated for a moment, and went downstairs to ask the old man with a bad face with a bad face, and then asked for an extra room on the third floor. Since the inn didn't ask them for money from beginning to end, she felt relieved and showed off her generous appearance. Xu Fengnian only saw the old shopkeeper entering the house with a food box, but did not see her figure. She breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, don't worry, the silver accommodation is definitely not a lot for you. Those who do business all say

If a horse is not fat, it is not fat. I don’t know if the shopkeeper has any way to Xuehelou. I heard that Xuehelou in Xuelian City is a first-class gold-selling cave in the south of the Western Regions. Whether you can buy Xuelian is only a matter of fate, but whether you can eat Xuehelou depends on whether you can eat Xuehelou, you have to see if there is enough money in your pocket. What about me, silver, one thing, taking advantage of the fact that I was so angry that I slept with me, I wanted to take such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to come to Xuelian City without vain…”

The old shopkeeper suddenly smiled knowingly, but he soon frowned and said carefully: "To be honest, the inns and restaurants in the city have these big and small ways, just thinking about how to serve the guests and come back with excitement. Old man, my joyful inn, since I dare to make such a name, of course I have my own tricks, but the young master may not know that the girl in Xuehelou is very big, like the empress in the palace, don't worry about anything.

Identity, those women don’t come out to serve people to pick up customers, but the other girls in the family are not so particular. The old man can also come online, so that the girls can come here in a beautiful way. Without knowing the gods, they don’t know the one in the young master’s family. And they can also make a statement in advance what flavors they like. If the young master is afraid of not being able to get the appetite, the old man can also sell his old face and let them have a few more people. Just keep the young master picking it... Young master, otherwise?"

Xu Fengnian shook his head and smiled, "Forget it, the girl in other alleys, we eat the signature of Xuehelou. It is not the most important thing to be a shuihelou or not. You can brag about it with your buddies when you go back, otherwise you can eat it. How about you Xueliancheng women, can you really look better than the courtesans in the Central Plains brothel? Shopkeeper, do you think this is the case? That's it, shopkeeper, I used to have a friend who was a regular customer of Xuehelou, and I also spent thousands of taels of silver to play tricks. If you go to Xuehelou's madam, you said that there is a friend named Xu from Fushui County who is on the road. You want to find the courtesans in the building to come out to drink, and let them pay for the price. As long as you dare to shout, I dare to bid. Shopkeeper, as long as you pass the message, no matter whether the matter is done or not, I will add this 'car fee' when we check out or not."

When the old shopkeeper heard this, he was so happy that he ran to make a move.

Not long after, Xu Fengnian saw the door open, and she stood there with the smiley and slammed the door and left without waiting for him to explain anything.

In less than half an hour, the door knocked gently, and Xu Fengnian said calmly: "Come in."

The two women walked into the house and deliberately changed into ordinary clothes. However, after taking off the hat that covered their faces, they found a milf, a brilliant woman who was in her youth, who was flowing from head to feet.

After seeing Xu Fengnian's appearance, the young woman's eyes were still a little curious and scrutinized. The Fengyun woman, who was already trembling along the way, was so scared that she knelt down directly, and did not dare to say a word more, and she didn't dare to breathe.

Xu Fengnian said softly: "Mrs. Song, get up, sit and talk. Even Lu Qiuer, who is recognized as a wolf in Liyang, privately respects Mrs. Song."

The woman's eyes were red, and she stood up and gave her a blessing before she sat down.

Xu Fengnian asked with a smile: "This is Yu Qingling, the next courtesan of Xuehelou?"

The woman who had already recognized Xu Fengnian's identity nodded and replied respectfully: "Yu Qingling is an orphan from Xuelian City. She entered Xuehelou since she was a child. She was the confidant who was cultivated by the slaves. But to be cautious, she was not until four years ago that she entered the third-class room in Fushui Room. She made a small contribution last year and was just promoted to the second-class room in the spring of this year. She is currently responsible for keeping an eye on Liu Huaixi, the number one local snake in the city. This person is nicknamed General Liu. She is a native of Xuelian City. She has a subordinate who can provide direct support.

More than a thousand troops were sent to the station, and they were also very influential in Nanzhao. Several of the mature forces were grateful to Liu Huaixi. I suspect that Liu Huaixi was the first character to be supported by Zhao Gou in Liyang, but the three Zhao Gou spies died one after another in autumn and winter last year. Whether Liu Huaixi has been rebelled by Beimang or Western Shu now needs Yu Qingling to find clues. If he can attract me to the Fushui Room, Yu Qingling will be considered as a second-class room."

Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "Liu Huaixi was able to move around and move among several major forces, get along well with others, and continue to strengthen his strength. He first stood out from a green-skinned market and gained a foothold. At the age of thirty-five, he had already become a prince in the southern part of the Western Regions. Such a courageous and skilled hero is naturally very charming. The spy said that even the daughter of the Liyang Prince of Nanzhao was willing to be his behind-the-scenes woman and elope for him."

The woman looked at the woman who was standing there at a loss and chuckled, "It is best to get out of the tiger's mouth. Even if the corpse is gone, it is not surprising that if the tiger is not present, it is a sin that should be killed. Since Yu Qingling has entered the Fushui room, he can distinguish between public and private."

The next sentence fully demonstrates the iron-blooded style of "Madam Song" as a top spy. "If there is a mistake, we don't need to give instructions from the water room. I can clean up the door by myself. I will also apologize to Manager Chu if I have unknown people."

Yu Qingling bit her lip and stood there gracefully, making her feel more and more pity for life.

Xu Fengnian ignored it and looked at the moving woman who was well-known in Xuelian City, "Yu Qingling, what kind of person do you think Liu Huaixi is? Tell me what kind of person you think."

She still couldn't guess who this young man was, but since Mrs. Song, who was nicknamed "The Empress Dowager", could make Xuehelou so serious that she even tried to purify herself to the point of calling herself a "slave", Yu Qingling believed that she must be the big figure in the Fushuifang who came to Xuelian City. She was nervous and carefully prepared for her words and replied: "I am cruel and ruthless, but I have feelings and righteousness."

Xu Fengnian laughed it off, "Does there be ready-made snow lotus in Xuelian City recently?"

The woman said, "It's a coincidence that there are not only two, but also two. One was found by Liu Huaixi's mansion. The other was the news that a young man in the city learned from his father's last words. He waited for six years and went to the snow mountain to check the lotus buds four times. After a lot of hardships, he picked it back this year. The former was waiting for a price. It was rumored that Liu Huaixi's original intention was to give the snow lotus to the Nanzhao County Prince's Mansion as a plea for his father-in-law. Later, it seemed that the weaving bureau, which was under the jurisdiction of the two major vassal kings in Western Shu and southern Xinjiang, had the intention to purchase it and offer it to the current queen to be the new king of Zhaoshi in Liyang. However, there was also a top expert in the Central Plains who had been waiting here for many years. He spoke to be willing to trade for Liu Huaixi for the snow lotus, as if he wanted to treat a woman. The young man who picked the lotus and lost his back.

After the old man with legs returned to the city, the forces of all parties began a new round of struggle. After all, the snow lotus is too hard to come by. Thirty years ago, it was sold at a high price of 30,000 taels of silver. Now it is even more expensive and it is not possible to buy a hundred thousand taels. The ignorant young man was just stubborn and said that his snow lotus was not sold, but he just wanted to give it to a girl in Majiabao. The girl was the daughter of the Majiabao Fortress. She had already arranged a good family with her father. Perhaps it was because she had an association with the young man who picked the lotus, which made the young man so persistent and wanted to fight for his life. Now the young man and the snow lotus stored in the ice cellar were blocked by the Central Plains master. Some kind of agreement should have been reached between the two. Without the protection of the master of the swordsman, the young man would probably not be able to find his body."

Song Fu lowered his voice and asked, "Do you need Xuehelou to compete for those two snow lotus? If you need..."

Xu Fengnian waved his hand and said, "You don't need Xue Helou to interfere, just tell me the exact location of the two snow lotus."

Mrs. Song's eyes were hot and firm, and she said in a deep voice: "Since the Fushui Room has set up Xuehe Tower in this city, is it just a decoration? How many people have died in battle on the borders of Liangyou and the two states? Even if Xuehe Tower is dead, how many people can die?"

Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "Mrs. Song said that Xuehelou has clear distinction between public and private affairs, so I should do this too."

Mrs. Song shook her head and said, "It's different!"

Xu Fengnian looked at the woman who seemed to die at any time and said calmly: "I have the final say."

Mrs. Song was stunned for a moment.

Xu Fengnian glanced at the door, coughed, and said to Mrs. Song: "Please ask the inn to help me prepare a carriage. I want to go to the Cailian Boy immediately. Just point the groom. By the way, give the inn shopkeeper more money. If you need it after that, I will definitely find you Xuehelou. If not, don't argue without permission. Just treat it as the rules of the Fushuifang."

The two carriages parted ways outside the inn. Mrs. Song squatted in the carriage expressionlessly. She was about to go to General Liu's mansion to feed tigers with her body and plucked up the courage to ask something. Mrs. Song, whose eyes were closed, said coldly: "Don't ask if you shouldn't."

In another carriage, Xu Fengnian sat leaning against the wall of the cabin, while Jiang Ni sat upright, with his back against the red sandalwood sword box, his face gloomy and gloomy.

The carriage was circling around and came to a narrow and dark alley. The honest groom stopped the carriage, lifted up the curtain and apologized: "Young master, Miss, the alley is small, and the carriage cannot enter. You have to walk forward thirty-four steps by yourself."

Jiang Ni got out of the car first and said, "Go on the wall by yourself."

Xu Fengnian smiled bitterly with the help of the groom. After getting off the car, he told the groom not to wait for someone to go back to the inn first. He really could only move forward with the wall. The more embarrassed he would be. Jiang Ni's steps were not big, and he walked slowly at a place that was six steps ahead. He just laughed and said, "If I go to the Xuehe Tower to spend the night, I can't even walk with the wall tomorrow?"

Not only that, she added insult to injury, "'Forget it for the girls in other alleys, we eat the signature of Xuehelou'. Tsk, we are worthy of being a playboy with the name of Tianzi, and it sounds like a veteran of the Flower Cluster."

Xu Fengnian smiled angrily and said, "Is it so reasonable to eavesdrop on others' words?"

Jiang Ni snorted coldly: "I have a bright ear, otherwise you think I'd like to hear such dirty words?"

The two of them came to a dilapidated yellow mud house without walls. Jiang Ni stood with her hands on her chest, carrying a red sandals sword box, Xu Fengnian put one hand on her shoulder to stabilize her body, but she dodged her body, and Xu Fengnian had to support her knees with her hands bent over her knees. On the steps in front of the house, she was a middle-aged man with a sword on her knees, probably the Central Plains swordsman who could be called a master of martial arts in Xuelian City's eyes. Xu Fengnian didn't know such a person. It seemed that the other party who had been in Xuelian City for four or five years did not recognize him and Jiang Ni. As for the families lurking in the darkness around them.

Guy, Xu Fengnian is a thin camel bigger than a horse. Although he is a weak body that falls down by the wind, his divine will can't be dealt with Li Mibi and Tuoba Bodhisattva. However, if you want to kill here, you don't have to touch a finger. Besides, Jiang Ni is by your side. As long as it is not the fourteen Wu Ping people or a grandmaster who is only one line away from rushing to tread muddy water, it is not a big deal. The swordsman looked at him without squinting and said indifferently: "I don't care about Liu Huaixi's snow lotus, but I have already booked the snow lotus in the house. You can go. If you don't give up, you can ask my sword."

Xu Fengnian gasped, stared at the middle-aged swordsman with the master's demeanor, and asked with a smile: "Dare to ask what kind of nickname this hero has?"

The swordsman did not answer, but a cheerful and vicissitudes of voice came from the house, "What a bullshit hero, Dong Yue Dong Yuanrui, one of the defeated generals of the past, can do something with one hand. Today, the world is more and more unreasonable. Such a person is considered a person with a broken sword? In my generation, he has really emerged. Not to mention anything else, he just said that he had fought with me, including the overlord of the cold land with a gun, and the ancestor of the green robe of Fengdu, who could barely be considered a master. I was fighting with them back then, but I was just a hot hand. There was only a swordsman named Li, who was my destined enemy, but he also appreciated each other..."

But another tender voice in the house interrupted the old man's irrelevant bragging, "Okay, okay, you're still me carved from the Xuefeng Cave. A hero doesn't mention his courage back then, do you know? Eat your big cake!"

Xu Fengnian was confused and turned to look at Jiang Ni. The corners of her mouth moved and said coldly: "There is no such person at all. The old man with sheepskin fur has never mentioned it to me."
To be continued...
