As soon as he woke up, he was forced to drink a large bowl of medicine with a strange smell. Lu Xiaofeng lay listlessly on Wen Renxi's lap. Always so sleepy that I can't keep my eyes open, the sign of judging time is how many times I was woken up by Wen Renxi and drank the medicine.

It was said that his lethargy was caused by overwork and the cold air entering his body. He drank the anti-cold medicine three times a day and made him feel worse than death.

After going through this for several days, he was finally able to stop the medicine, and with the added sleep, his whole state was refreshed. He was restless while sitting cross-legged in Wen Renxi's cloak and listening to him talk about the abnormal state in the cellar. The ground moves back and forth.

Time was running out and Wen Renxi only had a quick glance, and the body was mostly covered by soil, so there was very little that could be described.

The only thing that is certain is that both of them died of knife wounds.

Wen Renxi also carefully inspected the items he found in the firewood.

"This place must have been ransacked." After reading it, Lu Xiaofeng said firmly.

"This piece of fabric is a good material from Jiangnan, but the style has been outdated for a long time. I heard from Qitong that many cloth merchants in Jiangnan will sell the materials accumulated in the warehouse to the customs."

If the fabric style is out of date, no matter how good the quality is, it will not be able to sell at a high price in Jiangnan, but if it is sold to the Rong people, these backlogs can be exchanged for high-quality leather horses.

People outside the pass have no shortage of high-end goods of all kinds, and they are willing to exchange some good fabrics to make decent clothes for girls and boys.

A very profitable business.

"Such a good material is hard to come by outside the customs. No one would be willing to tear it off like this if it's not a last resort. What's more, this." Pointing to the white marks on the fabric, "This is salt grains, tears wet this piece of fabric, and It is wetting again and again, and the salt precipitates out."

Seeing Renxi pondering, Lu Xiaofeng continued: "If it's just the fabric, I'm not sure yet, but this hairpin would never have appeared here if it hadn't been looted."

It was a very simple silver hairpin, with cloud patterns engraved on the head of the hairpin, it was not a good thing.

"Look here." Lu Xiaofeng pointed to the recessed crevice of the cloud pattern, "Although the surface is rusted, the crevice is very clean, which means it has definitely not been here for a long time."

As he spoke, he turned the hairpin upside down again: "There is a silversmith's mark here, and it must have been years before it could be polished like this."

Wen Renxi took over the hairpin, but the silversmith's mark on the end of the hairpin was already blurred.

"Such wear marks indicate that the owner often wears it." Lu Xiaofeng made a gesture of putting the hairpin on his head, "The tail of the hairpin grinds the hair every day, so the marks will be worn off."

"The hairpin has been worn for so many years, but there is no trace of rust in the seams. The owner must love it very much, and it is impossible to accidentally lose it." Lu Xiaofeng said, "Then the hairpin will fall behind the pile of firewood, which means that the person wearing the hairpin was once in the firewood pile. have been behind the pile for a long time, and must have been in extreme haste when they left, to lose it."

"Long time?" Wen Renxi raised his eyebrows.

"Yeah." Lu Xiaofeng nodded, and studied the hard chicken leg, "There are bite marks here, and there are several bite marks on the same place, this will happen..."

Wen Renxi leaned over to have a look, and then he continued naturally: "Someone has bitten it here many times without eating it."

"And look at the color." Lu Xiaofeng poked at the tooth marks with a firewood branch, "This place is completely frozen, but here is not yet, here is a bit frozen and then bitten open."

"So this person bites every once in a while." Wen Renxi was stunned.

"Yes!" Lu Xiaofeng waved the firewood branch, "This person must be hiding from someone, so he hid behind the firewood, but unfortunately he didn't escape in the end, when he was pulled out, he lost the hairpin and his clothes were also ripped off piece!"

"There is also the cellar." Once he found a thread, Wen Renxi's thoughts became clear, "The grain hidden in the cellar should be a family's winter storage. If it was taken away, there would be no leftovers. Now If there is, it means that the food is not taken away, but eaten up here."

"If the meat wants to be frozen like this, it will take at least four or five days." Lu Xiaofeng poked the chicken leg, it was terribly hard, "Those who just came back from outside the customs came here two days ago, and it was already empty at that time. And half a month ago, when another group of people came here, it was still normal."

"That is to say, this person has been hiding here for up to nine days." Wen Renxi said, "It's not easy to eat up the entire cellar's food for nine days."

"It's not just a whole cellar." Lu Xiaofeng said, "It's not just a single family living here. If I'm not mistaken, there should be nothing left in the cellars of the other families."

"No, at least there are still the bones of the head of the household." Wen Renxi said, "Stop here to rest, leaving the local residents to wait on them, and when the food is gone, they will be driven to the cellar to kill them all. Take the gold and silver and rush to the next town."

"Does this approach sound familiar?" He asked after a pause.

"You mean..." Lu Xiaofeng gasped, "Rong ghost riders?"

"Who else can do this kind of thing?" Wen Renxi sneered.

The Rong Ghost Riders are the most notorious branch of the Rong army, because wherever they fight, they will never leave a living. They support their battles by fighting. If they need to stay, they will temporarily stay in the nearest village and town. Clean it all up.

And unlike the rest of the Rong tribe, they kill the captives openly and aboveboard. They prefer to kill the captives in a hidden place, and then take away everything that can be taken away. After the iron hooves pass, they leave an empty city. At a glance, it looks like everyone died overnight They all disappeared, like ferocious ghosts, coming and going without a trace, leaving only dead and empty cities.

"But if you think about it again, it makes sense." Lu Xiaofeng said, "With hundreds of millions of taels of gold, it's hard to guarantee that other soldiers will not be tempted except for Ghost Riders."

The gold and silver taken away by the ghost rider will be handed over to the tribe for everyone to share. They are not tempted by the gold and silver at all, and they never touch the captive women. The ghost of the horse, so it is called ghost ride.

It's ridiculous, but most people really believe it.

Even Lu Xiaofeng, who never believed in ghosts and gods, felt a little creepy thinking about it.

This rumor has also been heard by Renxi: "Don't worry."

If it is really a ghost, he can also handle it. Since the Kunlun lineage can change the general trend of the world, it naturally understands ghosts and gods.

Back then, the ancestors did burn most of the books, causing Kunlun to degenerate from the immortal sect to a situation similar to that of ordinary Jianghu sects, but the books that could survive were kept as much as possible.

For example, when he went back in time to see the scene of Zhang Fang's death, the technique was one of the treasures that his ancestors tried their best to leave behind.

Ask the gods to exorcise ghosts, to be honest, he really knows some.

Lu Xiaofeng didn't know the twists and turns in his heart, he laughed and said: "What am I worried about, how can there be ghosts in this bright and bright world, I think it's just a rumor released by the Rong people."

Wen Renxi glanced at him meaningfully, but didn't try to expose his guilty conscience.

"Since even the Ghost Riders have been dispatched, it seems that the Rong people are bound to win hundreds of millions of taels of gold." Lu Xiaofeng said, "In autumn, they just stand in the front. When the Heihe River is frozen and it is convenient to march, the large troops will follow."

Wen Renxi said: "Wealth touches people's hearts."

"Indeed." Lu Xiaofeng nodded, "But considering how many lives have been filled in this gold, I don't know if the Rong people can use it with peace of mind."

"I'm at ease." Wen Renxi said, "It's gold used for war, so how can you not feel at ease."

"That's right." Lu Xiaofeng laughed, "But I just don't want them to feel at ease."

He said it lightly, but there was anger in his tone.

When Lu Xiaofeng was in this state, he would definitely try his best to do what he wanted to do, and he would never stop even if his head was broken.

Wen Renxi said lightly, "It's as long as you're happy."

Anyway, no matter what Lu Xiaofeng wanted to do, he could protect her well.

He took care of all the medicinal materials, so Lu Xiaofeng didn't notice that the two porcelain bottles in a pile of bottles and jars disappeared without a trace.

The three medicines were consumed by him as quickly as possible, and now he has basically recovered to his best condition, his inner strength is full and solid, and even because of the life-and-death juncture of the battle in the imperial city, his level of enlightenment has improved a little.

If he can't protect a Lu Xiaoji like this, then he can really go back to the furnace and rebuild it again.

He put another small bottle of drowsiness medicine in Lu Xiaofeng's anti-cold medicine, and his intuition told him that if Lu Xiaofeng caught him secretly giving him heavy medicine, the consequences would be terrible and turn the world upside down.

It seems that it is better for Lu Xiaofeng to fall asleep at this stage.

The last two empty small porcelain bottles were turned into powder by Wen Renxi, and a deep pit was dug secretly and buried without leaving a trace.

The few dogs who had been lying on the sidelines and witnessed the whole process were also completely captured by Wen Renxi's offensive of minced meat and sticks. Not only did they not give Lu Xiaofeng the slightest hint, they even helped Wen Renxi cover up the evidence.

Really blinded by the jerky that Lu Xiaofeng fed them when they first met.

That was several times bigger than what Wenren Xi fed!

……

In Xiaoqingshan, far away in the south of the Yangtze River, the ex-assassin who was a little red in the Central Plains discovered that his fellow policemen had their faces like pigs, covered their waists and hugged their legs, and stayed here for half a month.

The reasons ranged from "I haven't seen you for too long and want to have a good kiss and kiss." to "I was beaten too hard by the boss and couldn't walk." I searched it all over, and I was so shameless that it made Zhong Yuan a little red and a headache.

He's really special and desperate to throw this group of people out and leave them to fend for themselves, preferably get away with it forever.

Back then, he was chased by more than a dozen gangs and fled all over the rivers and lakes. These few did not die. He believed in the vitality of this group of people.

What's wrong, Ermao put honey on his mouth, the youngest son is the best at grooming and maintenance, the fourth dog is good at cooking, five-six-seven is proficient in playing, playing, playing and singing, the old eighth can't do anything but is handsome, and put it in the house I feel at ease just by looking at it.

To put it simply, they made Qu Wurong very happy.

He really has a good grasp of the food chain in the family of the former No. [-] killer, and he is not in vain suffering from being beaten by Zhongyuan Yidianhong, and almost eating the gift he brought with his mouth open.

After pleasing my sister-in-law, no matter how depressed the boss is, he can only swallow the bitterness in his stomach. Thinking about it, he feels very happy.

Knowing nothing but swordsmanship. He has a public face. Zhongyuan Yidianhong wiped his face silently, and went out to chop firewood with an ax in hand.

This hatred, one day he will get it back from these little bastards!

For example, after Qu Wurong prepared the New Year's goods, he pressed the group to deliver the New Year's goods to Huamanlou.

Eat my drink and have to work for me.

The new year is approaching, and Baihualou is also quite lively. Those who can't get in to give gifts to Hua's house come to Huamanlou. He is sure that he has a good heart and a gentle temper. As soon as he puts away his things, he turns around and runs away, shouting so-and-so while running Congratulations to Mr. Hua on the auspicious Chinese New Year.

This is already a scene in the city, many people gather around to watch it every day, and there is even a game in the gambling shop to bet on when Huamanlou can't stand it and go back to Hua's house.

Huamanlou was indeed preparing to go home, of course it wasn't because of the piles of gifts at the door, those gifts were distributed by him to the poor people in the city and the shantang for the New Year, and it was very quick and convenient to deal with.

The reason why he went home was simple. Mrs. Hua missed her son, and it seemed that the Chinese New Year would be a month away, and there were still only a few sons who were either rough, ignorant, or sophisticated, and lived alone in a different place. The youngest son who couldn't see her aroused her mother's love.

Three letters a day urging the birds that left the nest to go home quickly and drown in the love of their loved ones.

To this, Hua Manting, who was far away from the capital checking accounts and was about to die of exhaustion, was speechless. He must not be his own. The only letter he received so far was from his mother telling him to find a wife quickly. If you can't find it, you don't have to go home for the New Year this year.

He is still the age of a young talent, okay?

What do you mean, if the girl doesn't like you, it's fine to bring a kid back!

Mother, please don't act like I'm a slow seller!

Look at the shabby general who lives next door to him, who is five years older than him, has a lower rank, and is extremely easy to deceive!

Look at his dark and ugly face, all his sinews that are useless to look at!

Look at his dilapidated house, if I hadn't asked someone to help repair the leaky house!

Look at the rags he wears all year round!

If I hadn't cut a few new pieces for him, this thing would have completely embarrassed the court officials!

Look at his stinky taste that is not as good as a bowl of Yangchun noodles!

I really lost my mind when I invited him to dinner!

A dignified second-rank general is not as good as my housekeeper!

That's called real slow-moving goods!

Mother, please see clearly!

I'm just in no hurry to find it!

The general who lived next door sneezed several times, and continued to feel sorry for the horse that was taken away by the profiteer Hua Manting.

The horse that has been raised from a pony to a big one is just taken to the next door. I don’t know if the food is good or not, and the stables are suitable for me. Thinking about it, I feel melancholy. Baozi was even more uncomfortable when he was beaten up.

This young master profiteer is indeed the most annoying creature.

The general resentfully crushed two walnuts with one hand. Halfway through eating, he remembered that it was a New Year's gift from the next door.

Chest more stuffy.
