Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 246 The Northern Wei Dynasty
In the dark night, the city of Danyang is brightly lit.

But there are still people waiting for the first dawn in the sky.

Inside the railing on the top floor of Zuiyun Building, the largest restaurant in Danyang City, there was also a young man standing at this moment.

Although the Zuiyun Building is not comparable to the gold-selling cave like Qianjin Pavilion in the former Qin Dynasty, its elegant design is extremely high, and it is very popular among practitioners.Most of the respectable practitioners from the six countries who came to participate in the primary ceremony lived here.

Of course, the children of the wealthy family who have mansions in Danyang City are excluded.

The same is true for the stepson of the Six Kingdoms who have always been born in wealthy families.

Although many practitioners who participated in the primary ceremony live here, the waiter and the gray-haired old shopkeeper have not seen many stepsons over the years.

But this year, there is one exception.

In the most spacious room on the top floor of Zuiyun Tower, a man in a brown bunt stood in the room, looked at the motionless boy standing outside the railing, and called out.

"Brother."

The young man leaning on the railing turned his head when he heard the sound.

The boy standing inside the railing on the top floor was dressed in rough clothes. His simple attire was incompatible with the elegant and luxurious furnishings in the house.

He looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, but his cheeks were already rough from the cold wind from Saibei.

He was very thin, and his protruding cheekbones made him look weak and even feminine, but standing there like this, he looked like a bundle of dry sticks, cold and tough.

The man in brown knows the tenacity of this thin man better than anyone else.

He walked up to the boy in rough clothes and asked dryly, "Brother Meng, what are you looking at?"

The boy by the railing, Meng Shi, the stepson of the Northern Wei Dynasty, turned his head and looked at the sky gradually turning gray in the distance, while talking to his "junior brother" who hadn't been with him for a long time.

Meng Shi's real teacher is actually only his apprentice, but this time the Northern Wei Dynasty's team participating in the elementary ceremony is aggressive, and other countries are loosely united, but the Northern Wei Dynasty forced them to form a team, and asked the team Everyone here is called a brother.

This brown-clothed boy joined temporarily before departure. He heard that he had a background from a wealthy family in the Northern Wei Dynasty, but Meng Shi didn't pay much attention to it.

You must know that when the team was first formed, there were only a few dozen people in the whole team, but when they left the Northern Wei Dynasty, they had expanded to nearly a hundred people.All the rich and powerful families in the Northern Wei Dynasty scrambled to put people in it. There were too many lice and it didn't itch. As a stepson, Meng Shi couldn't call everyone by name.

As for this brown-clothed boy, Meng Shi always felt that he had seen this boy at the Great Wall of Eternal Night before, but the precariousness of the day made him have no time to look after him, and he didn't even know his name.

The brown-clothed boy ignored his cold attitude and kept talking to him, which made Meng Shi barely remember his name.

It seems to be called... Mo Hua.

When he first joined the team, he told people that his name was not Mo Hua, but Mo Fenghua.

A very strange name.

Later, it was estimated that this man himself thought the name was strange and unmanly. Later, he told others that it was fine to call him Mo Hua, and Meng Shi called him that for convenience.

Meng Shi always felt as if he had heard of this name somewhere, but he was never good at remembering people's names.

"Watching the sunrise."

Mo Hua, who was wearing brown shorts, heard the words, looked at their thin stepson and smiled.

As always, cherish words like gold.

And the voice is a little strange, a little hoarse, a little different from the hoarseness of the juvenile voice change period, it seems to be sick.

Not long after Mo Hua joined the Northern Wei team, he heard other practitioners mention that although they were young, they were all the other "senior brothers".

Perhaps because of this reason, Mo Hua and Meng Shi have been together for almost half a year, and it is rare to see this person speak.

"Even if there is no sun, this Danyang City is really bright enough." Mo Hua looked at the lights of Wanjia under the tall building with emotion, and looked at Meng Shi's side face and said, "It's much brighter than our side."

The Northern Wei Dynasty had a vast land and few people. If they were assigned to places near the Great Wall of Eternal Night, they would only see will-o'-the-wisps at night.Will-o'-the-wisps are still good.If you see the beacon fire, it is destined to be a river of blood.

"Is that so?" Hearing Mo Hua's words, Meng Shi didn't know what to think. He had a pair of extremely beautiful red phoenix eyes, but these eyes were frozen all year round.

The frozen eyes are deeper than the frozen soil under the Great Wall of Eternal Night.

Looking at the darkness before dawn, Meng Shi looked sideways at Mo Hua, "How about the matter I asked you to investigate?"

Mo Hua was shocked, remembering the business that Meng Shi had given him before.

"I checked. Compared with the list you gave me, my stepson, the team we live in the inn," Mo Hua moved his fingers slightly on the side, looked at Meng Shi and said, "56 more people."

56 people.

Meng Shi took a deep breath.

The situation was worse than he expected.

Although the teams of the Northern Wei Dynasty participating in the primary ceremony set out collectively from the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, there were still some practitioners who were scattered outside and caught up from behind with the newly opened documents from the imperial court.

This is also normal.

Including some Northern Wei students studying in Jixia Academy, they are all from the Northern Wei Dynasty on the surface, and other casual cultivators cannot be allowed to join the team.

However, Meng Shi's eyes sharpened.

In any case, it is impossible for the newly joined casual cultivators to reach such a large number of people.

It has to be said that the large and complex team of the Northern Wei Dynasty this time provided opportunities for those who are interested.

"Brother Meng, I've always had a question," Mo Hua looked at Meng Shi's expression, and suddenly said.

Meng Shi looked at him and nodded, "What's the matter?"

Mo Hua took a deep breath, "Brother, why did you ask me to investigate this matter?"

The stepson of the Northern Wei Dynasty had doubts about the team he led. If such a thing was exposed by someone with malicious intentions, Meng Shi would immediately fall into a position of condemnation.

Meng Shi was silent for a while, looked at him and said, "The only person I can confirm who doesn't belong to any faction is you."

It's ridiculous to say that there is no one whom Meng Shi can trust in such a huge team.

After all, his civilian background was placed there.The family members are unwilling to obey him, but to the powerful, he is more like a knife in the hands of the superior.

Although he was not familiar with the brown-clothed boy, Meng Shi unexpectedly discovered that he was not involved in any circle in the team.

This person is like a spectator, watching countless people mingling together.

What's more, even if someone knows that Meng Shi is investigating his own people, it's nothing.

This time the Northern Wei Dynasty was too overcrowded by various forces, and Beihan Pavilion was even more unscrupulous. He suspected that it was normal.Do not doubt that it is a fool.

However, what Meng Shi really suspected was not the meddling of the dignitaries of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

"Brother, don't you..." Meng Shi thought that he was covering up well enough, but he never thought that the young man in front of him suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at him, "Do you suspect that people from other countries have done it?"

Meng Shi trembled all over, feeling the barrier that was pulled up around him, watching Mo Hua's true energy surge all over his body.

But at the next moment, seeing the calm and clear gaze of the boy in brown, Meng Shi's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly spoke the truth.

"I suspect……"

The boy narrowed his eyes and spoke lightly.

"The ghosts of Xirong were mixed into the team of practitioners in the Northern Wei Dynasty."
