The weather is getting colder, and Maplewood City has received its first snow of the year, which is a little later than in previous years.
In the past half month, some farmers have complained that if it doesn't snow again, the fields will not be as fertile as in the past few years without the moisture from the melted snow next spring, and there will be no chance of another excellent harvest.
In this year, there may even be a drought and famine year.
This kind of panic first spread among farmers and soon affected cities and towns.
In recent days, the prefect has become a little anxious, and even contacted several respected Qigong practitioners to inquire about the possibility of mana snowfall.
Fortunately, the snow finally came, and when it came it was heavy snow, and the flying snowflakes fell from the sky, turning the previously warm early winter into a vast white world in an instant.
Some pedestrians who had no time to put on thick cotton clothes walked shivering on the road, complaining about the changing weather.
The children were very happy, wandering on the street, grabbing hard snowballs, chasing each other and having a great time.
At night, the whole city becomes quiet, the cold wind blows back and forth on the streets, making a "whooshing" sound, and a thick layer of snow accumulates on every part of the houses and streets.
Most people will stay at home in this kind of weather, enjoy the warmth of the stove, and then fall asleep.
However, in the very center of Maplewood City, walking south along the magnificent magistrate's residence and turning left across three streets, the place known as the "Noble Garden" is brightly lit.
The nobles never lacked ways to have fun in the snow, but not everyone was playing. Some people frowned with a straight face, as if a disaster was about to happen.
This stern-faced man is none other than Ding Zhen, the head of the Ding family who is recognized as a strong man in Maplewood City and whose status is somewhat higher than that of the prefect.
Ding Zhenzheng was holding an amber wine glass with a sad face. The orange-yellow amber was dug into a wine glass luxuriously, and it was filled with fine wine. This kind of wine was transported from the other side of the distant continent. It was valuable and had a mellow taste. It was definitely not
Common people can enjoy it.
This was originally Ding Zhen's favorite wine, but unfortunately today, even though the aroma of the wine was still there, he still couldn't cheer up and even looked a little sad.
Opposite Ding Zhen, there was a middle-aged man with a goatee sitting, who was the prefect of Maplewoods City, An Rulong.
An Rulong took a sip of red wine and said absently: "Don't be too anxious. Since the matter has reached this point, we can only find a way to resolve it."
"It's easy for you to say!"
Ding Zhen slapped the armrest of the chair angrily, "I just received a letter from Ding Yue a few days ago, saying that she provoked that guy again in Greenfield City, and caused my idiot nephew to be expelled from the Talisman Master Association.
!Tell me, my daughter has a very smart mind and should not do such stupid things, but why does she provoke that guy again and again? What is going on? "
An Rulong spread his hands and said: "Only God knows..." Ding Zhen said angrily: "It's good now, that guy not only won the favor of Her Royal Highness the Princess, but also became the imperial envoy of Fenglin Region! If he targets
If you fall in love with me, what should you do? What should the Ding family do?
An Rulong, you must help me!"
"I will.
We have been friends for many years, how could I not help you.
But I still want to advise you, put aside those unrealistic fantasies and apologize properly to the Imperial Envoy. Maybe things are not as bad as you think!"
"you sure?"
Ding Zhen's eyes lit up.
"After all, he is just a young man and his ideas are not mature enough.
As long as you lower your profile and give him enough benefits, I don't think he will hold on to you!"
An Rulong said, "I suggest you arrange a welcome banquet to give him enough face and adopt a conciliatory attitude."
"Well...this is a way."
Ding Zhen nodded, "Okay, I will arrange a grand banquet and invite all the celebrities in Maplewood City.
If he wants money, I will give him money; if he wants women, I will give him women; if he wants face, I will give him face!"
At this moment, the imperial envoy Li Xuan, who was about to come to Maplewood City to take up his post, didn’t know that Ding Zhen had arranged a grand banquet for him, and he was standing in the snow cursing his mother! “It’s snowing so heavily, and it happens to be in my area.
It snowed while we were on the road. Are you deliberately trying to get in trouble with me?
Forget it’s snowing, it’s snowing so hard, my carriage is broken down, what are you doing!”
Li Xuan raised his neck and pointed at the falling snowflakes in the sky, and Li Xuan cursed in annoyance.
The answer from the sky was a whistling wind, and the cold air penetrated into Li Xuan's neck, even Daluo Jinxian had to tremble.
Two brothers, Li Cheng and Li Hong, were busy working under the carriage. The carriage's axle was broken and needed to be replaced with a new one. Unfortunately, there was no spare axle on the carriage, which was very troublesome.
If it's daytime, you might be able to meet a carriage on the same way, and it's not impossible to borrow an axle.
But now it’s the dead of night, and it’s snowing heavily. How can I borrow a wheel and axle in the middle of nowhere? “It seems like we can’t get it right.”
After working hard for a long time, Li Cheng got out from under the carriage panting and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"What should we do?"
Li Xuan asked helplessly.
He suddenly realized that he was quite useless without Daluo Jinxian's cultivation. Even if he could refine immortal talisman pills, he couldn't even make a simple carriage axle! "Two ways, one is to wait,
See if anyone passes by and borrows an axle.
The second is to leave the carriage and ride to the nearest town."
Li Chengdao.
"Let's wait."
Li Xuan was a little reluctant to part with this carriage.
This is the most luxurious carriage of the Li family. It was borrowed from Li Yunyan with great difficulty. It would be a pity to throw it away like this.
The three of them had no choice but to retreat into the carriage and wait, hoping that the snow would stop soon and that someone would pass by soon.
I don't know if their expectations moved the gods and Buddhas all over the sky, or if there were people who were just as stupid as them, driving at night in the snow. Just when the cold became unbearable for the three of them, a series of horseshoe sounds sounded on the snow in the distance.
"somebody is coming!"
Li Cheng jumped out of the carriage and stood in the middle of the road, looking around.
The night was pitch black, and I could only vaguely see a wind lantern in the distance, moving closer and closer, swaying and swaying non-stop.
"Stop! Stop! We need help!"
Li Cheng waved his hands and shouted loudly.
The carriage came very quickly, the wind lantern became clearer and clearer, and the sound of horse hoofbeats in the ears became louder and louder. In the blink of an eye, the outline of the carriage appeared in the eyes of the three of them.
But no matter how Li Cheng shouted, the other party didn't seem to hear him. He didn't even have the slightest intention to stop, but instead accelerated and rushed over.
Li Cheng was startled. Even the Qi Master's spiritually strengthened body could not withstand the collision of the galloping horse. If he was really hit by the carriage, he would definitely be the unlucky one!
