The world's number one shadow guard

In the middle of winter.

Lincheng, a small town outside the Great Wall, is filled with the atmosphere of Chinese New Year.Although the snow is falling, the bustling town is still bustling with people shouting for new year's goods.

Although this place is remote, it can be regarded as a rich place. It is close to the rich northwest mountain range, and there are many rare medicinal materials from the mountain, which are sold at the market at a low price.Therefore, many businessmen in the Central Plains who seek huge profits often travel thousands of miles to hunt for treasures here.

In the market, you can also see many non-Han people coming and going. The various ethnic groups here live here together, which can be regarded as a local characteristic.Because of this, the local delicacies are various, and it can be called a small Jiangnan outside the Great Wall.

At sunset, the street is still lively, the heat from the shops and restaurants on the street forms a white mist covering the whole street in the light snow, and the fireworks are hazy.A small carriage drove in slowly, and the young driver wearing a bamboo hat parked the carriage in front of one of the best inns in the area.

The boy who was standing at the door to meet the customers immediately came over to greet the guests. After seeing a lot of people from afar, the shop waiter saw the knife on the young man's back, and he took it for granted that he was a person from the rivers and lakes, so he was a little more careful. , for fear of offending the guests.Na Qing said to the waiter, "Give me the best room."

Although this season is close to the end of the year, it is also the time to harvest several of the most precious medicinal materials, so some merchants gather here at this time to wait for the purchase, and the guest rooms are already fully booked.The shop waiter said truthfully: "Guest officer, the upper-class rooms are already full, and there are only a few lower-class rooms left."

"It's full? Then tell the person who booked the room, I will pay ten times the price, and let him move out of Tianzihao." The young man said.

"My lord, it's embarrassing for me to say that... I have to ask the guests over there first..." The waiter was anxious, knowing that he had encountered a bad owner.

Just when the shop waiter was in a dilemma, a soft and pleasant voice came out from the carriage, sultry: "Forget it, if there is no room, don't force and trouble others, let's find the next one."

"It's getting dark now, is it okay for the master to sleep on the street?" The young man snorted dissatisfiedly.

"Isn't there still a guest room, so let's take the next room." The voice of the man in the carriage was a very well-bred young man, and he spoke in a soft voice, which was very pleasant to listen to.

Although the young man was still dissatisfied, he didn't dare to disobey the master's order, so he said to the waiter, "Then clean up the cleanest room for me." After saying that, he took out a gold ingot from his pocket and put it in the waiter's hand.

The waiter in the shop is actually calm, but he is more attentive, and he really has seen the world - people who come and go here are all well-connected, and as the receptionist of the best inn here, he must be cautious and flexible. To be honest, this young man's reward is really good Substantial, but not the most.Even if he is just an ordinary waiter, in terms of family background, he is probably richer than many nobles from the Central Plains.

Because this place is Lincheng, the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

So the waiter called a few guys to help lead the way and unload the goods. The goods on the young man's carriage were all things for the journey, not many.The young man took off his bamboo hat at this time, revealing a beautiful face, cold and inhumane, even the well-informed waiter in the shop marveled at the beauty of this young man, and saw him open the carriage himself, and helped out a man in a suit from inside. The son of Huqiu.A clerk hurriedly gave the young man who seemed to be dressed luxuriously a stool for getting in and out of the car. Unexpectedly, the young man immediately hugged the young man horizontally, and said to the waiter at the reception: "Ask someone to lift the chair out of the car."

It turned out that there was also an exquisite wooden chair with wheels in the carriage, which was used by people with limited mobility. Obviously, the elegant and handsome young man in the arms of the young man was not a good person, because the soles of his snow satin boots There was not even a trace of dirt, and it was obvious that he couldn't walk.

There are many people eating in the lobby of the inn, many people are watching the scene at the door and discussing privately, saying that it seems that there is one more person who came to pray for the treasure hunt this year, but they don’t know who will get the magic medicine in the end .

In the midwinter of this year, it was the time when the mysterious Prayer Clan treasure--Xin Mo Lan matured. It is rumored that this strange herb takes 50 years to mature, and its fruit can be developed into a elixir, which can increase the power of a hundred years and even heal the disease. All kinds of diseases bring death back to life, and every time the heart demon orchid matures, it is the time when the martial arts blood is quietly set off.

This time, how many people will there be, because this strange grass gathers here, causing countless grievances?

After the young man sent the young master who couldn't walk into the guest room, the people outside dared to speak loudly. Some people in the world said: "Look at the appearance of the young master, isn't he the fifth young master who just took office as the leader of the martial arts alliance?"

"How is this possible? I heard that Fifth Young Master Qing is currently in the south dealing with the scuffle between the top ten gangs. How could he suddenly appear in this borderland?" Another person retorted.

Naturally, the same person cannot be in two places.

But two people with the same face are hard to tell.
