Chapter 37: A few wisps of wolf smoke
Perhaps it was because of the heavy snowstorm that the night passed very peacefully. www Li Yu casually opened the curtains and saw that the snow had stopped, and some snow powder would fall from time to time. The weather today seems to be bad and has been piling up.
The large clouds had dispersed, and it looked particularly clean. Some traces of the trail could still be faintly seen last night. Apart from its general outline, it had become one with the mountains and forests on the side.
"Hero, do you want to set off now?" Handlebar Shi's face was sweaty, and he was holding a small bundle of grass covered with snowflakes in his hands. It seemed that he had been up a long time ago.[www]
Li Yu nodded, "Let's go when we're ready." After saying that, he asked, "How far is it from here to Lingzhou?" Shi Zi was throwing the fodder to the horses, looking at the familiar scene of feeding the horses.
Li Yu thought of someone.
"Under normal circumstances, we should be able to arrive before nightfall today." Zhuozi said after hesitating for a moment, he continued, "But this trail is not as good as the official road, and with the heavy snow last night, I'm afraid we won't be able to get there today!" If so!
If it comes to other things, it will be even more uncertain. Of course, he does not have the courage to say this.
Li Yu nodded. Although he didn't encounter any pursuers all night long due to the wind and snow, the power of the imperial court was definitely beyond what ordinary people could imagine. It would be better to leave early. "Is there any other way to Lingzhou?" Li Yu noticed the handlebars.
Shi seemed to be no stranger to this path, so he asked.
"Besides the official road, this road is the fastest to Lingzhou City!" Chaozi said, grabbing some snow from the ground and rubbing his hands to clean them. The implication was that, there are
Others just cost longer.
After hearing this, Li Yu thought for a moment, took out a money token from his arms and gestured to the handlebar. "As long as you can reach Lingzhou City safely within three days, this money will belong to you." He said and handed the token out of the window.
"take."
The handlebars were still hesitating, but when they heard the last threatening words, they hurriedly took the money. Before he could see the number on it clearly, Li Yu's voice came again. "What is more important, money or life?"
Seriously, you should understand. Once you understand, start!" He stared blankly at the numbers on the money guide, his hands trembling involuntarily.
The carriage started slowly after the sound of a whip. Compared with last night, the speed has dropped a lot. The snow is deep at this time, and if the speed cannot be increased, the horses will get tired more easily. Looking at the snow-capped fields
Outside the window, Li Yu lowered the curtains and tried to sink into self-study again. Although this was just useless work, he would still keep trying.
It was slowly fading away, and the speed of the carriage was also getting slower and slower. Looking at the panting love horse, Charioteer would put his hand into his arms to touch it from time to time. The coldness in his hands had disappeared together with last night, and he
When he woke up in the morning, he checked carefully and found nothing out of the ordinary. However, the scene he secretly glimpsed in the morning made him give up the idea of taking risks.
The sky was not completely bright at that time, and the snowflakes were still flying. He mustered up the courage to carefully lift a corner of the car curtain, and saw Li Yu sitting there cross-legged. There was nothing special about it, but when he moved his eyes
When the long sword that frightened him came up, he was so frightened that he lowered the car curtain and did not dare to look again. People who can make the sword fill with cold energy are absolute masters. He once had the honor to meet
He had been there once, and the sight of limbs flying around as the sword energy rose made him a little scared even thinking about it.

No. 51, Qinghefang, Hangzhou.
"Is there any news from the capital?" Chunyan asked, stroking his aching head. In the past few days, he had said similar words no less than twenty times. Since Li Yu, the spy in the capital, disappeared until now, there has been no news.
Come, and Wudang Mountain and the Zhenwu Gang are currently in a troubled time, and he feels that he doesn't know what to do.
The Wudang disciple who reported the news shook his head. He thought that the first thing the gang leader asked about should be the provocation of the Tianyu Gang. Compared with the life and death of the senior brother, the life and death of the Zhenwu Gang was more important to him. "No, the capital city
There has been no news from there for two days."
"Okay, I'm here, you go down!" Chun Yan said, waving his hand and throwing the pile of letter paper on the table. "By the way, send ten more disciples to the capital and let me know as soon as there is any news."
"Yes", the Wudang disciple hesitated for a while after responding, but in the end he backed out without further ado.
Chunyan stopped his aimless movements. He couldn't help but think about the Wudang disciple. The conflict between the Zhenwu Gang and the Heavenly Prison Gang was irreconcilable. The solution was just a battle. This Heavenly Prison Gang
He has heard some information. Most of the disciples in the gang are disciples of some evil sects, and they are second-rate gangs in the world. In terms of gang strength alone, the Tianyu Gang may be slightly better, but in pure words, in a real fight, the Zhenwu Gang
He won't be afraid of him at all. As the leader of the Zhenwu Gang, he has to look further.
"How about I go find and ask!" Chunyao walked in with tea. Although she no longer interfered in the management of the Zhenwu Gang, she was still involved in some recent situations. She had not gotten along with Chunyan for a long time, so naturally she also
Understand what matters most to him now. As a wife, she hopes to be able to take charge of herself and have the power she belongs to, but at the same time, she is very happy that without Li Yu, everything will go completely different.
Chunyan quickly stood up and helped her sit down. After taking a sip of the strong tea, she nodded and said, "That's good, there may be news about senior brother over there." He put it down as soon as he finished speaking.
He picked up the tea cup and walked aside to get a pen and paper and put it in front of Chunyao. "Then write it now so that I can have someone give it to you as soon as possible." Chunyao frowned because she couldn't wait.
"Yan, can we really not make it without our senior brother?" Chunyao asked with courage, "As long as we survive for a while, those teachers who have returned to their sect to learn their unique skills can be put to use, even if another Heavenly Prison Gang comes, there will be no problem.
Yes!"
Chunyan's hand while studying ink paused. After thinking for a while, he put down the inkstone in his hand, moved a chair and sat next to Chunyao. After holding Chunyao's hands tightly in his palm, he said, "No more."
Senior brother, the Zhenwu Gang is about to disband." After seeing Chunyao's confused expression, he continued, "Whether it is senior sister Murong Lan or Tiantong Gang leader, it is because of senior brother that they got involved with us and sent people.
It was my senior brother's order to return to the sect and learn the secrets." Seeing the surprise in Chunyao's eyes, he let go of Chunyao's hand and stood up.
"The affairs of the Tianyu Gang, as you said, are not a big problem. But if there is no senior brother, the leader of the Tiantong Gang will definitely draw a clear line with us immediately. Even Senior Sister Murong Lan, who is from the same sect, will never be with us again.
I will ask about these things." Chunyan said this, sat down next to Chunyao, and whispered some things to her.
When Chun Yao heard these unheard things, the expression on her face became more and more exaggerated. When she discovered that there was a mysterious force that dominated the Jianghu people, her surprised expression turned into shock. It turned out to be ordinary.
Behind the scenes, there are many unknown things happening.
"Don't say it again in the future. I guess that senior brother's disappearance this time should be related to the breakthrough in martial arts." Chun Yan seemed to be telling everyone at the same time, "Senior brother, he is not a person who wants to be second to others. Don't look at him very much.
Don't take any action, his martial arts has never been simple. Well, write a letter quickly, the sooner I hear the news about senior brother, the sooner I can feel at ease."
Chunyao smiled, "Okay, I'll write it now." Just as she was about to write, she suddenly stopped writing and said, "Yan, you seem to be very familiar with senior brother's affairs, so let me ask you, what is the relationship between senior brother and senior brother?
Is it a relationship?"
"I really don't know about this." Chunyan said and glanced at his arm involuntarily. That brilliant flower in his heart had tormented him for several days.
Chunyao coquettishly pushed away the white paper in front of her, "If you don't tell me, I won't write. Just tell me, okay, okay!" As she spoke, she held Chunyan's sleeves and swayed.
"Stop, stop, stop, stop shaking, I said, I said, it's just that I don't have too many..." Chunyan grabbed his wife's little hand and whispered in her ear.

Li Yu put down the book in his hand, opened the curtain and took a look. The carriage was walking on a remote trail. It was said to be a trail, but in fact it could only be walked barely. Not to mention the uneven road surface, the road was also vague and slightly visible.
You may get lost if you are not careful. There are snow-covered trees and grass on both sides of the road, just like walking through a forest.
This road is the most hidden road in the words of the handlebar. It has rarely been walked by people. Even in the inn, there is no such road. But the handlebar can use it because it secretly does business and transports here.
Merchants or goods from other countries. Although the risk was high, the profits were astonishingly high. Even so, he only made three or four trips before he dared not leave again. He was the only one left with the companions who had traveled together.
one.
Stopping and walking, two days pass in the blink of an eye, and we can reach Lingzhou City in three hours. And this rarely visited path will be completed in another hour, but the exit is connected to an official road.
Road. As one of the few official roads in Lingzhou City, checkpoint inspections are the most frequent, which means that real danger is coming.
An hour passed quickly. After saying hello to Li Yu, the handlebar waved his horsewhip and let the carriage climb up a slope that was not too high. Li Yu opened the curtain and followed the winding of the carriage.
Up the road, a wide road appeared in front of him. What made him a little strange was that the road that had just fallen under a light snow was full of messy footprints and ruts, but the direction was opposite to Lingzhou City.
"My hero, something is wrong?" After the carriage stopped, he suddenly walked to the window and said to Li Yu. At his signal, Li Yu stuck his head out of the window and saw a few people in the sky not far away.
A trail of black smoke rose into the air.

Author's note:
Gaga, today we were watching the women's ten-meter air pistol. During the last round, we were secretly cursing Nagbewela for missing the target. Although who didn't miss the target in the end, he only scored 88 rings. I was so happy.
Team China, come on! Team China, rise up!
Chapter completed!
