The vast snow between heaven and earth has stopped, and the smoke furnace fire in the tea shed has not been extinguished.

broke into the small tea shed, but saw that there was no one in the shed, and the old tea man didn't know where he went.

After looking around a few more times, Xue Wanli sighed and sat down.

The tea was still warm, and the old man should have been gone for a short time. Suddenly, I saw that several water trails on the table had not dried up, and they were straight and staggered.

Xue Wanli pondered for a moment, and his heart moved: "Yes, twenty-two, the Hu man he killed was the twenty-second horse!" At this time, he knew that the old man did not want to see him, and it was in vain to wait, so he couldn't help but feel lost and unhappy in his heart. The old man said that the situation of tea chanting poetry was like in front of him, Xue Wanli sighed lightly, and muttered: "Compassion for the world, hidden in the red dust, it was this senior! Hey, just now he pointed at me, and then pointed to himself, what does it mean?"

After thinking about it, I couldn't figure it out.

"Old Xue--master-" The sound of hooves outside the shed rose and fell, and Xiao Fangzi hurriedly ran in, stared at the two of them with big eyes and looked around, panting and asked: "Old Xue, Gao, where is the master?" Xue Wanli shook his head: "He's gone, hey! It's just that Xue is clumsy and didn't recognize this senior earlier! Xiao Fangzi exclaimed: "Is it really the old man who sells tea? I can't see it! Is it worse than you?" Xue Wanli smiled: "My little ability is 108,000 miles worse than others! Hey, this old master's benevolent and benevolent sword is famous all over the world, and he is called 'Confucian', surnamed Kong, by the way! In the future, you don't want to call the old man nonsense, it's disrespectful!"

Xiao Fangzi scratched his head: "Oh, what is that called?" Xue Wanli thought for a while: "The old master is close to the age of ear shun, you are young, and you are called 'Grandpa Kong'." "This is two generations shorter, Xiao Fangzi is not angry, and Lao Tzu's father doesn't know where he is, how can a grandfather appear out of thin air? No! I can't listen to Lao Xue's random assignments! I sneered in my heart for a while, and I couldn't help but be curious about this master, so I replied: "How bad is this person? Is he invincible in the world? Tell me about it!" As he poured himself tea, he sat down and waited to listen to the story.

Xue Wanli was very happy when he missed the master, but where did he still have the leisure to elaborate on him, so he only got up and said: "Let's talk about it again, the snow has stopped, let's go on the road." Xiao Fangzi was quite dissatisfied, but he was helpless, stood up and said as he walked: "Old Xue, do you say that the Hu soldiers will come to rob?" Xue Wanli looked at the north, nodded and said: "The surname of the Hu people and the tiger and wolf will not give up!" and patted Xiao Fangzi on the shoulder, and said: "It's okay, the old master is hidden here, this should be the place where Hu Qi must pass through to enter the country, and with him here, he can ensure the safety of the people." ”

Xiao Fangzi nodded, climbed onto the yellow horse, and yawned for a long time: "Heh-" Seeing his sleepy and listless look, Xue Wanli smiled and said: "Boy, cheer up and go on the road!" This place is close to the Qingzhou border, and you can go to Qingzhou City in two or three days, and take you to play tricks when the time comes!" Xiao Fangzi smiled: "Wonderful, wonderful, Lao Xu, you have a treat!"

The wind was cold and the snow was cold, and the sound of hooves rose again, and the two galloped away from the tea shed and headed west.

Cheongju City is located in the northern part of the Central Plains, with abundant products, thoroughfares, and merchants, and is very prosperous. In the past ten years, there has been no war, and the population of the city has reached as much as 230,000, which is far from Jiangzhou. There is a mountain in the southwest of the city 200 miles, the peak has a thousand zhang, towering and towering, stands forever, the name is called Shangqing, it is said that Qingzhou is named after this mountain.

It is said that the three poles will be over, and the time will be over.

The north gate of Cheongju City is the time of the hustle and bustle, pedestrians and traders or carrying parcels, or carrying a flat burden through the line, and there are cars carrying sedan chairs, and pedestrians come and go. Suddenly, there was a stirring at the gate of the city, and everyone was panicked and dodged again and again, and for a time the order was in chaos! There were a few people on the side who stepped on their feet and cursed, and a seller in the middle turned over the burden, screaming and shouting to clean up, and there were even more children in the back who were squeezed in, and they were so frightened that they cried, and for a while they were noisy and shouting, and the chickens and dogs were jumping in a mess!

The dense crowd in the chaotic place gradually separated, making way for a passage-

Two people, one big and one young, led the horses and walked in.

The two of them are dirty and sloppy, unkempt, and stinky, just like the two men who ask for food, which can be described as: one door into two scholars, father and son are called flowers. Seeing that the people of Qingzhou were covering their mouths and noses, they didn't dare to take a breath, and they gave way enthusiastically, and they were very satisfied, and shouted: "Xue Daxia, Fang Xiaoxia is here!" Everyone shook their heads and dodged to both sides, for fear that the lice raised by the two of them would jump on their own bodies.

Needless to say, this is Xue Wanli and Xiao Fangzi who traveled thousands of miles and worked tirelessly to come to Qingzhou City. There is a way to peep at the leopard in the tube, and it can be seen from time to time, as soon as the two of them enter the city, they will make a lot of noise, and in the later stage, they will turn Qingzhou City upside down, which is a great disaster, so that some people are still talking about it a few years later. All these events started from today, and later there were idlers who wrote poems as proof:

In the middle of winter, the land changes, and the double evil enters Cheongju!

Entering the city, the streets are full of traffic, people's voices are boiling, there are many restaurants and tea shops on the street, and everything that should be eaten, drunk and entertained on the roadside stalls emerges in endlessly. Xiao Fangzi saw that this place was even more lively than Jiangzhou, and he couldn't help but feel playful, and immediately made a noise to go to the street. Xue Wanli grabbed him: "Don't run around, like a crazy monkey, and forget how I taught you? The first thing you need to do when you go out is-"

"Looking for an inn!" Xiao Fangzi replied stupidly.

There are many inns and inns in the city, and there is one family walking dozens of steps. Suddenly, I saw a room in front of me, the store is not big, but the tone is not small, and there are four big characters on the signboard: Wanli Inn. Xue Wanli was overjoyed: "Hey, it's this, haha! Lao Tzu opened it!" Xiao Fangzi was illiterate, and he said disdainfully when he heard the words: "Phew, you opened it?" and bragged about it!"

After entering the store, Xue Wanli instructed the men to lead the horses to feed them, and asked for a double-bed guest room. The two of them washed up in the room, and after a while, Xiao Fangzi jumped up and shouted: "Old Xue, we have also joined the store, it's time to do the second important thing!" Xue Wanli smiled: "Didn't you just eat dry food in the morning?

Speaking of big fish and big meat, Xiao Fangzi only felt that his stomach was empty, and he seemed to be about to faint from hunger, so he hurriedly swallowed his saliva, pulled Xue Wanli's sleeve and walked out. Xue Wanli wanted to break free as soon as he exerted his strength, but he didn't want Boss Fang to have a stomach craving attack at this time, so he didn't break free this time, and dragged him out of the inn with a belt. Xue Wanli couldn't cry or laugh, and sighed: "Quickly let go! What does it look like when you pull and pull! Don't be in a hurry, if you want to eat, you must first find a rut to eat." ”

"Rice rut?" Xiao Fangzi said strangely: "What is that?" Xue Wanli smiled: "Eat and drink, do you have any silver?" Xiao Fangzi was stunned: "Oh, I forgot, our two silver has already been wiped out! Hey, this is really troublesome!" Jiangzhou City has been begging for many years, and Xiao Fangzi has not lost the cold leftovers in the restaurant, and it is not uncommon to see hungry people who eat white food, and they are beaten all over the body and are half dead. In a trance, he seemed to see the white eyes of the guy, and when he heard the shopkeeper's scolding, Boss Fang's eyebrows were furrowed for a while, and he was in a daze.

"Hah!haha!" Looking at the sad look on his little face, Xue Wanli couldn't help laughing.

"It's all at this point, this old Xue still doesn't know how to worry, he can only gloat and smirk, he really doesn't know whether he is alive or dead!" Xiao Fangzi glared at him angrily, and was about to scold him for a few sentences, when he suddenly thought of his ability, he couldn't help but hope again: "Old Xue, do you have a way?" Xue Wanli smiled and said: "There is no way now, maybe you will be able to pull it when you go out! Hey, you can't keep being in a daze from the street, waiting for the silver to fall from the sky and hit your head! Let's go, let's go shopping first." ”

Xiao Fangzi thought for a while and said, "Wait a minute." ”

As soon as he turned around and ran into the inn, he ran out again in a blink of an eye, with a knife in his hand.

"What are you doing with this?" Xue Wanli scratched his head.

"Uh, prepare early, just in case!" Xiao Fangzi responded, with his own plans in his heart. This old Xue acted rudely, and he would fight with others if he didn't agree with him, and his own body was weak, and he had no sharp weapons to defend himself! If he couldn't find the silver, he would go to the restaurant to eat white food, and he would be able to strengthen his courage to support the scene with a knife, killing two birds with one stone.

Xue Wanli laughed, shook his head, and said no more.

Walking to the downtown of the city, the two of them walked for a while, Xiao Fangzi was worried about looking for silver, looking east and west, and looking at the feet from time to time, paying attention to whether there were any left copper plates. The streets are bustling, passers-by and vendors are doing their own thing, there are a lot of vegetable leaves and peels on the ground, and there is not a single big money. Xiao Fangzi touched his stomach and said hurriedly: "Old Xue, where is there a place to find silver?" Xue Wanli yawned: "Don't worry, let's go again." ”

"Let's go again, do you have the silver?" Xiao Fangzi was secretly dissatisfied, full of scratches, but he couldn't think of a way, so he had to follow him and go forward. There are few shops in the west of the street, there is no road in front, only a section of the earthen wall stands in the middle, and three or five idlers lie at the root of the wall to bask in the sun. Xue Wanli said with a smile: "The rice rut is here." ”

"Ah, where is it?" Xiao Fangzi looked around, blank. Xue Wanli walked to the earthen wall and looked up. Xiao Fangzi looked at it in amazement, only to see dozens of pieces of hemp paper pasted on the wall, large and small, printed in black on a white background, and a portrait painted on it. Xiao Fangzi also knows this thing, it is a notice issued by the yamen, arresting the fugitive of Jiang Yang's thief and murderer: "Old Xue, what are you doing here? This thing can give birth to silver?"

Xue Wanli smiled and nodded.

Xiao Fangzi is very curious, and he generally follows to see, and he is illiterate left and right, so he only picks up the portrait to see.

It can be said that the painter's skills are not bad, and with a few brushstrokes, one by one the bandits will have a hideous face and leap on the paper.

Xiao Fangzi looked at it interestingly, and praised it again and again: "They all look so fierce! Haha, look at this, it's a one-eyed child!" As he spoke, he saw another one, and the characters on it were hairy, eagle-nosed, and lion-eyed, fierce and abnormal, and they looked quite familiar! He was taken aback and exclaimed, "Huh, Old Xue, this bandit looks similar to you!" Xue Wanli laughed and looked proud. Xiao Fangzi hurriedly said: "What is written? Hurry up!" But seeing that Xue Wanli had taken laughing medicine, he laughed again and again, and snot and tears came out.

"What's so funny!" Xiao Fangzi frowned and spat on. Xue Wanli laughed, his expression turned mysterious, and he squeezed his eyebrows and whispered: "Look!

"Hmph! It's really crazy, crazy all the time!" Xiao Fangzi pursed his lips and glanced at his fingers. There was a small piece of white linen paper pasted in the corner of the wall, and it was not clear from a distance, Xiao Fangzi moved a few more steps, and lowered his body to see-

There was a bandit above, looking like a child, with a dirty face and a stupid expression.

"Ahh
