Liao Zhai's Refining God

Chapter 271
Afterwards, the 30-year-old man infused some qi into the middle-aged man to help him regulate his qi and blood. Originally, the poison had almost dissipated, but the middle-aged man woke up soon after the conditioning.

"Keep in mind. You saved me last night?" the middle-aged man said calmly.

When the 30-year-old man heard this, a gleam of joy appeared on his face. The middle-aged people used to call him by his official title, but now he directly calls him by his name, which shows that after what happened last night, the relationship between the two has taken a step further.This is a good thing, after all, this middle-aged man is someone he admires.In the future, they will be together as officials for many years, and they will also be his immediate superiors. A close relationship is naturally a good thing.

"I'm ashamed, I just woke up, I don't know where the two female assassins went last night. Someone must have saved us." Li Jicheng did not pretend to claim credit, but said sincerely.

"Who could it be? People from the capital or from Xiyuan Prefecture!" The middle-aged man couldn't help but shook his head after thinking for a moment, feeling a little disappointed. It seemed that some people didn't want to see themselves become princes outside the Great Wall, and didn't want themselves to go to the post alive.

"The pond in Xiyuan Mansion is very deep!" Then he said softly.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely help you stabilize the situation in Xiyuan Mansion." Li Jicheng said in a deep voice.

"Naturally, you and I have to unite with sincerity and go to meet the gangsters in Xiyuan Mansion. We also need to find out why the previous mansion died." The middle-aged man said.Li Jicheng nodded silently, feeling a lot of pressure.

Soon, the guards and followers who fell on the ground woke up one by one. The horses outside were intact, which was a blessing in misfortune.

"Let that scholar go on the road together. It's not safe to let him study in the Jiangbei Corridor alone." Soon, everyone simply ate some dry food and prepared to go on the road. After all, we have to rush to Heishi County today, otherwise we will have to sleep in the wilderness again. .Looking at the situation outside, the heavy snow doesn't seem to be stopping. If it weren't for this stone house, sleeping on the barren mountain would probably be frozen to death.The middle-aged man ordered.

"My lord, after passing this mountain ridge, you can ride ahead. It happens that each person has a horse. If there are not too many horses, we will give this scholar. If we take him with us, our trip will be delayed. If we can't make it at night When I arrived in Heishi County, I was worried that my lord would be in danger, so I better not take this scholar with me, your lord's safety is important." Li Jicheng said.

"The first snow and the full moon, this heavy snow will continue to fall for a while. After this mountain ridge, the snow should be knee-deep. We can't just watch this frail scholar trapped to death in this barren mountain. Let them Give this scholar a horse, you are all masters in martial arts, walking in the knee-less snow nest should not be a problem." The middle-aged man looked at the vast snow mountain and said.

"Yes, I understand!" the 30-year-old man hurriedly said.Immediately, he asked one of his men to wake Wang Lin up.

"The scholar, what's your name, where are you a scholar?" After eating some dry food, the group was about to go on the road, and the middle-aged man asked Wang Lin with interest.

"The student is Wang Lin, a scholar from Guobei County, Jinhua Prefecture!" Wang Lin said.

"Oh!" The middle-aged man's eyes lit up as soon as he heard it and said, "But Wang Lin, the scholar who did "Song of Righteous Qi" and "When Will the Moon Come?"?"

"It's Xiaosheng!" Wang Lin said.

"Hahaha. Only people with your temperament can write such good poems. It's very lucky to meet you!" The middle-aged man laughed loudly.

"Your Excellency is ridiculous!" Wang Lin said hastily.The middle-aged man smiled slightly and followed the guards out the door without answering.

"You scholar didn't understand what your lord meant at all. You are lucky to have met us. If not, you would have been devoured by wolves last night. Looking at the snow conditions today, after passing this mountain road, there is snow up to your knees. If you don’t make it to Heishi County tonight, you’re going to freeze to death in the wilderness.” The 30-year-old man couldn’t see it, and when the middle-aged man walked away, he deliberately fell behind Wang Lin and said in a low voice.

"Thank you, Xiaosheng!" Wang Lin smiled slightly and bowed.

"If you want to thank you, you should thank your lord. If you hadn't met such a good person as my lord, you would not have such a good fortune to survive this disaster. I know that you scholars like to use your emotions, and you will never turn back for the so-called romance, but you must also take into account Danger around you. This world is not safe, don't act recklessly." Li Jicheng reminded cryptically.

"Haha." Wang Lin didn't care, and smiled lightly.Seeing Wang Lin's attitude, Li Jicheng didn't say any more, his body swayed forward and merged into the wind and snow, tightly protecting the middle-aged man and continuing to walk along the mountain road.The guards at the back greeted Wang Lin to follow according to his instructions.

Just as they analyzed, after passing this rugged mountain road, there is a valley in front of it. The road is much wider, and it seems to have stepped into a plateau. Difficulty walking.

"Get on the horse!" A guard gave Wang Lin his horse very unhappy.After all, which middle-aged man's order was this, and he had to follow it.

"Thank you!" Wang Lin bowed and nodded, and got on the horse.

"Come and ride my horse!" Li Jicheng waved to the guard who lost his horse.

"My lord, you can just walk!" the guard hurriedly refused nervously.

"Obey the order. Your cultivation level is not enough, and your walking is too slow. Don't affect our itinerary!" Li Jicheng said.

"Thank you, my lord!" The guard looked grateful, and carefully got on Li Jicheng's horse. Li Jicheng walked in front, walking on the snow with a sway of his body. His ankles, walking on the snow like flowing water, quite fast.

A group of people marched against the wind and snow. At noon, they took shelter in a mountain depression, ate some dry food, drank some wine and continued on their way. At dusk, they passed a mountain pass. Looking ahead, a plateau appeared among the mountains.

"Brothers, work harder, Heishi County will arrive soon. Tonight we can sleep on the kang, drink hot rice, and take a hot bath." Li Jicheng cheered.

"Ho Ho Ho!" The guards roared excitedly.They were originally the imperial guards of the capital, and they were pampered and pampered at ordinary times. They had never suffered such hardships. Li Jicheng said so, and his morale has improved a lot.

"It seems that the guess is correct, this Li Jicheng is a soldier!" Wang Lin thought.

"Be careful!" After walking forward for less than a hundred meters, two figures came quickly behind him.Li Jicheng quickly stopped the team and parked on the side of the road.The guards were nervously guarding the middle-aged man one by one.

At this time, Li Jicheng's heart was shocked. There were two young people who came. The man was dressed in white clothes like snow, with a piece of blue jade hanging on his belt, and a sword hanging from his waist; With a red cloak and a dagger in his hand, the two came side by side.
