Yecheng, East Street Inn, late at night, the sky was dark, Xiao Er, who was already about to close, saw a figure walking in the distance, Xiao Er hurriedly picked up the lantern and stepped forward and said: "Guest officer, do you live in the hotel?" ”

"Stay!" The voice of the visitor trembled: "Hurry up and serve some warm wine and hot dishes..."

Hearing this, Xiao Er immediately turned around, opened the half-blocked door, and let Hou enter the house with the 'snowman'.

When the 'snowman' sat down and a glass of warm wine was in his stomach, his stiff body could be considered alive, and the shopkeeper also served the hot dishes at this time, and by the way, he also took a duster for the 'snowman' to dust the snow.

"Guest, where did you come back? With such a heavy snowfall, even if it doesn't fall, the roads everywhere are blocked by snow, and if you get snow blindness and take a fork in the road for a while, it will kill you! ”

"No hindrance, no hindrance, a certain life is big, you can't die!"

The 'snowman' wiped the snow off his face and said, "Little Er, ask me, how far is it from Zhongdu here, take that road closer!" ”

"Guest officer, there are many ways to go to Zhongdu, the nearest is only one hundred and thirty miles, if in normal times, it will be there in one day, but now it is blocked by snow, in my small opinion, you still have to rest here for two days, and wait until there is a rowing team passing by, you are on the road together, in that case, you can arrive in three days at most!"

After speaking, Xiao Er turned around and left, but the 'snowman' Helan Wen didn't think so, he came here all the way, for the resentment in his heart, since Lin Zhongyi couldn't help him, he had to find another way to be in the name of his family.

After a full meal, He Lanwen put down some broken silver, turned around and left, and the shopkeeper cleaned up the house and prepared to welcome He Lanwen to rest, but found that the person was gone.

In the dark night, Helanwen stepped on the snow and slowly moved forward, it can be said that this cold snow is really heavy, the snow on the road is deep now, Helanwen struggled to move forward on the snow track, but the feeling of exhaustion became more and more intense, for a while Helanwen only felt that his legs were filled with molten iron, and it was difficult to lift at all, and in his breath, there was a jingling horse bell behind him, and Helanwen looked back and saw that it was a rowing car.

"Young boy, there is someone in front!"

During the march, Du Hui's front road sentry suddenly found that someone was on the side of the road, and immediately echoed, and the driver immediately reined in the horse, and in the car, Du Hui heard the sound outside, so he leaned out and asked, "But the thief?" ”

As soon as these words fell, the guards behind the left and right cars stepped forward one after another: "Young boy, I'll wait for that person!" ”

"It's not my intention to kill people without knowing right from wrong!"

Du Hui said and rode at the sentry: "You go and find out, when it snows heavily, if it is not for the urgent death, the ghost will come out, as for the thieves and bandits, they must also sleep in Gentle Township, so before the matter is unknown, don't use a knife to kill!" ”

"Obey the young man's orders!"

A few sentry riders were ordered to drive their horses forward, and under the care of the torches, several sentry riders saw Helan Wen who was embarrassed and struggling to move forward.

"Who are you? How do you walk like this? ”

The sentry asked in a rough voice, and also picked up the crossbow on the left and right, as long as Helan Wen had the slightest sign of tracking, they would shoot him immediately, and they would definitely not bring the slightest risk to themselves.

On the other hand, Helan Wen, after he saw the arm crossbow in the hands of these riders, he immediately thought in his heart, for such a military weapon as the arm crossbow, who can equip the house slave sentry horse? But anyone who is not stupid can guess that the masters of these riders definitely have a great background.

So, after a flash of inspiration in his mind, Helan Wen knelt down and bowed: "In the Lower Northern Xinjiang clan, because the clan was harassed by the war in the Northern Barbarians, in desperation, he could only switch to the distant relatives of Zhongdu, but all the way, the heavy snow closed the road, and the money and silver were already insufficient, so he could only rush overnight and arrive in Zhongdu as soon as possible!" to survive!"

Hearing this, several sentinels met one of them, and one of them said: "You guys are watching, I'll go and tell the son!" ”

Before the paddle car was driving, Du Hui was waiting, waiting for the sentry to speak, Du Hui said: "The poor people in northern Xinjiang? ”

"That's right, young boy, if that's the case... Let's leave him alone! ”

"Whatever? Hum! ”

Du Hui sighed and smiled: "This kind of ice and snow, whether he is let him die, go, let him go with the car!" ”

After a while, the sentry rode back: "Gentlemen, you are lucky, my young son is willing to save your life, come, follow me to the back of the salute!" ”

"Thank you... Thank you..."He Lanwen said repeatedly, and after that, He Lanwen got into the rowing car of Du Hui and his party.

It wasn't until the next day that Du Hui and his party rushed to the direction of Beizhen, the central capital.

"Young boy, why don't we go directly to the city?"

Du Ping, the accompanying house slave, asked in a low voice, Du Hui took a sip of tea, and asked, "Where was that person last night?" Gone? ”

"Young boy, just went down to drive him away, but he had to thank him in person before leaving, and now he is waiting behind the door!"

"Interesting!"

Du Hui laughed to himself: "Let him come in, I want to see what kind of poor person would have such a good sense of etiquette!" ”

Not long after, Helanwen came in and saw Du Hui, Helanwen didn't say a word, and bowed his head: "A certain He Wen worships Gongzi for saving his life, if there is no Gongzi to save him, I am afraid that this life has already returned to the West!" ”

"He Wen, this is serious!" Du Hui stepped forward and picked up the congratulatory text: "In life, who can go all the way smoothly and smoothly?" In the meantime, you are in trouble, a good deed, God will definitely see it, so you don't have to think about it, now there is something that needs to stop here, you go directly to Zhongdu! ”

Du Hui's atmosphere made Helan Wen think a lot in his heart, and now he can conclude that Du Hui is definitely not an ordinary person, but if he wants to ask rashly, it will only arouse Du Hui's suspicions. ”

It's just that He Wen didn't know that when he was thinking about it, Du Hui was also thinking about He Wen.

When Du Ping came in to tell He Wen to leave, Du Hui said: "This person is not an ordinary person!" ”

"What do you mean, young man?"

"This person has a moderate speech, a respectful demeanor, seems to be low, but in fact he is full of temperament, this is definitely not a poor person!"

"Huh?"

Du Ping was taken aback: "Young boy, since you say so, then your subordinates will immediately send someone to chase him back!" Check it out! ”

"That's it!" Du Hui shook his head: "There are important things to do on this trip, and if we don't do other people's business, don't do more!" ”
