    Chapter 15 The horn sounds on a snowy moonlit night

    In just half a day, the entire Fangu City was already covered with heavy snow.  The green bricks and red tiles are no longer visible, and everywhere you look is a refreshing white color.  There are no rich or powerful people in Fangu City. If you have to say that there are so many people, you can barely count them as one.

    But Fang Jie doesn't actually have much money. He is the big shopkeeper of Jinyuanfang, he is the owner of Hongxiu Building, and he also built Keshengju, but he can only be regarded as a high-level migrant worker. It was he who brought Fan  Gucheng is prosperous, and the annual income of these three buildings is two hundred thousand taels.  But he only paid dividends.  Because the money raised from the initial establishment of Jinyuanfang did not include him.  Except for the dividends distributed to the people every year, most of the money must be handed over to Li Xiaozong for management.

    Although he doesn¡¯t spend money lavishly, he still has the status of deputy of the scout team and socializes a lot on weekdays. With so many properties under his name, it is natural that he treats guests every time.  So I haven't saved much in the past two years or so. I rummaged through boxes and cabinets and collected all the banknotes and silver. After all, I only found three or four thousand taels.  These few thousand taels were considered a lot of money in Fan Gu, but in Chang'an City it would only be enough to visit high-end places like Ban Yue Tower a few times.

    So when Fang Jie found out that he only had these belongings, he was inevitably a little depressed and upset.

    ¡°We must never engage in fund-raising enterprises in the future!¡±

    He muttered, stuffed all the banknotes into his arms, and put the remaining two or three hundred taels of silver into the package. Before moving, he couldn't help but look at the frontier army uniforms on the hanger beside the bed with some reluctance.  Black leather armor, blue uniform, black leather boots, and a red cloak that is only worn during festivals.

    "It's a pityI wanted to go to Li Xiaozong today to collect my military merits before going to Chang'an. Now my military merits are not enough, and it will take a lot of trouble to take the examination of the Yanwu Academy. I don't have much money around me, so I am afraid that I will be in the imperial capital.  It¡¯s not enough to bribe a seventh-grade Zhima official.¡±

    "We can't go to the camp, those four masters are all in that direction."

    Mu Xiaoyao whispered.

    Fang Jie is reluctant to give up, but will never hesitate.

    The first thing he learned over the years was not to hesitate.  You must go when it is time to go, and you must not drag your feet.  Although he is not needed for fighting, he does not want to be a meaningless waste.  It is precisely because he has been protected for so many years that he has little ability to protect himself in the face of pursuing soldiers, so he has a paranoid desire for cultivation.

    "How many products?"

    He followed Mu Xiaoyao and asked.

    "There is someone who has broken through the sixth level and is firmly standing in the seventh level. He is very familiar. It must be Li Xiaozong, not counting him There are four remaining, three of them are at the sixth level, and one of them doesn't feel very careful.  , It seems that he is also in the seventh level. This person has a gloomy aura, and he should be hiding deliberately. We may be hiding in a dark place, and it is best not to encounter an assassin who specializes in ambush. "

    Mu Xiaoyao and Daquan both knew that the most difficult to guard against at nights like this were the assassins who never wanted to fight anyone head-on.

    "Sister Xiaoyao, you have refused to reveal it for so many years."

    Fang Jie asked with a smile as he walked: "You can feel the enemy's aura within a two-mile radius, and can even accurately judge the enemy's strength. Then what level are you? If we don't escape and fight this head-on,  Can you and the big dog knock them down neatly?"

    "cannot"

    Mu Xiaoyao answered very simply, and then said with some pride: "No one who enters a two-mile radius can escape my perception. No matter whether it is a first-grade or a ninth-grade supreme master, they can't hide it from me.  Therefore, despite the hard work of escaping for so many years, there has been no danger, so when we separated in Nanyan Dali City, it was me and Da Quan who followed you instead of Qilin and the others. "

    "You are so arrogant, what level are you?"

    "Can you not ask?"

    Mu Xiaoyao rolled his eyes at him, and then couldn't help but said angrily: "If I were higher than the seventh level, would I run away? It would be impossible for an eighth-level cultivation person to destroy these five sixth- and seventh-level masters in Fan Gu City.  It¡¯s not a problem, although it¡¯s a bit troublesome, but it won¡¯t be too risky, so can you stop being such an idiot? If you decide to escape, you will definitely not be able to fight.¡±

    "Then who was the most powerful among those who protected me back then?"

    "Shen Qing Fan"

    The big dog replied from the side.

    "That beautiful, cold, cold sister who always holds a sword? Oops I never thought she was so powerful. Is there a ninth grade sister?"

    "No, but it should be in the eighth grade, maybe even on the eighth grade."

    The big dog replied.

    "Are you bothered?"

    Mu Xiaoyao glared at themEyes, he immediately grabbed Fang Jie's belt and threw him out of the wall.  Fang Jie was used to being thrown like stones over the years. He landed firmly on the ground, and in the blink of an eye Big Dog and Mu Xiaoyao also jumped out.

    While galloping towards the west of the city, the big dog said: "Of those who protected you back then, Mu Xiaoyao was the most capable. If she hadn't been so perceptive, I don't know how many dangers she would have encountered over the years.  No matter how good Shen Qingshan was at fighting, he would have been dragged to death a long time ago. The second most capable person is naturally me Although I can't sense the enemy's strength, I can know the enemy's position more accurately, so I can know the enemy's position more accurately.  Find the best way to escape. Shen Qingshan can easily kill me, but I can also easily prevent Shen Qingshan from killing me."

    "What grade are you in?"

    Fang Jie was a little bored being carried by Mu Xiaoyao. Although he wouldn't be tired if he didn't need to run by himself, it was a bit shabby for a man to be carried around like a woman carrying a package.

    "Fifth grade below."

    Big Dog answered truthfully: "So, if we meet even one of these enemies head-on today, we won't be able to escape. A sixth-grade master can kill the three of us with little effort."

    "ah?"

    Fang Jie had asked before, but Da Quan and Mu Xiao Yao just didn't say anything.  Only now did he understand that these two guys, who in his eyes were as tall as worldly masters, were not as tall as he imagined.  Although Mu Xiaoyao didn't say anything, he could guess from Da Quan's words that she was only at the fifth level of strength at best.  Shen Qingshan is at the eighth level. If she was by his side, there would be no need to escape

    "Don't look at me like that!"

    Mu Xiaoyao said while running: "I didn't say it before because there is only one Li Xiaozong in Fangu City who is a dangerous person, but he doesn't know your identity and won't kill you for no reason. Now I say it because he is going to Chang'an  Escaped, what kind of place is Chang'an City? Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon! What I'm telling you now is that you should keep a low profile in the future, and don't pretend to be a grandpa when you get to Chang'an City."

    "The pressure on me to pretend to be a grandson to the entire city of Chang'an is really great."

    Fang Jie couldn't help but sigh. He had imagined that he wouldn't have to worry about those inexplicable pursuers when he arrived in Chang'an. With the protection of masters like Da Quan and Mu Xiaoyao, would he be able to pretend to be a dandy in the imperial capital?  He flirted with young girls, hooked up with handsome widows, and had big dogs come up and beat up anyone who messed with him. It didn't take long for him to become a handsome young gentleman in the imperial capital.  Now it seems that he found that he thought too much.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Snowy night, bright moon, and a beautiful woman with long legs and slender waist beside her. This was supposed to be a very romantic night. It would be great if she was not on the run, and it would be better if Mu Xiaoyao beside her was not so cold.  This year Fang Jie was fifteen years old and Mu Xiaoyao was twenty-seven years old.  Fang Jie had no doubt at all that he was the only man who had hugged Mu Xiaoyao.  He was the only man who had touched Mu's small waist and chest.

    But Fang Jie was full of awe for this woman.

    Fan Gucheng is very small. After jumping out from the backyard of Jinyuanfang, he ran all the way to the west. It didn't take long to reach the city gate. No matter who the frontier army was on duty, Fang Jie was familiar with it.  But when they rushed to the west gate, they realized that their estimate was too optimistic.

    Ximen was on duty with his familiar border army brothers and six people wearing flying fish robes.  If you want to know what this flying fish robe represents, even in the imperial capital, this outfit can make most people fearful.  Their official ranks are not high, but their status is high.

    Someone from the Ouchi Guards Department.

    "Why don't you feel that there are outsiders here at Ximen?"

    "Six of them are on the fourth level, they can't stop us!"

    Mu Xiaoyao whispered, and then threw Fang Jie towards the street.  By the time Fang Jie stood firm, Mu Xiaoyao already had a foot of red silk in his hand.  That was her weapon, a beautiful and eye-catching weapon.  Before being separated from the other five guards in Dali City, Fang Jie rarely saw Mu Xiaoyao take action.  Because in the team, she is only responsible for sensing the enemy. Killers include Qilin, Night Owl, and Shen Qingshan.  It has been three years since we separated from Dali City, and we have not encountered an enemy for three years.

    Therefore, this was the first time that Fang Jie took a serious look at how Mu Xiaoyao made a move.

    One foot of red silk.

    Within one foot, this is Mu Xiaoyao¡¯s world.

    The big dog did not go up to help, but stood beside Fang Jie and took out a pair of gloves with sharp steel spikes from his waist and put them on. The steel spikes reflected a cold brilliance under the moonlight.  Looking at Mu's graceful figure with a small waist, Da Quan suddenly said with emotion: "This is a woman who is extremely strong. Shen Qingshan looks down on her, but how can she think highly of Shen Qingshan? Although that woman is indeed very strong, but  If there is no Mu XiaoyaoPerception, she may not be able to live to this day.  "

    "Shen Qingshan is her junior sister."

    This last sentence shocked Fang Jie's heart.

    He suddenly felt guilty, even though he didn't say anything wrong.

    Six Ouchi guards wearing flying fish robes, six fourth-grade masters, if placed in the army, they would be at least fifth-grade tooth generals. Li Xiaozong is an anomaly. He is a tooth general with a seventh-grade cultivation level.  It was the imperial court's intention to temper him.  Fang Jie had no doubt that once Li Xiaozong left Fan Gucheng, he would surely rise to prominence.

    Furthermore, the position of Fan Gucheng was too critical. Without a powerful general in charge, the court was worried.

    In Wu Peisheng¡¯s opinion, using six flying fish robes to guard the goal was enough to attach great importance to Fang Jie, and even praise him greatly. Unfortunately Mu Xiaoyao didn¡¯t take these six people seriously at all.  Although she is not a combat-type warrior, she can still handle six enemies of this level without flinching.  The one-foot-long red damask was dancing at the west gate of the city, under the moonlight and snow, it was so beautiful that it was breathtaking.  The long red skirt and long red silk ribbon were flying around a graceful woman, giving her a very coquettish beauty.

    Especially when her long skirt dances, her pair of fair and slender legs are exposed from time to time, which makes people's blood rush. She is so beautiful even when she kills people. This is Mu Xiaoyao.

    Hong Ling wrapped an embroidered spring knife around it, and wrapped it around the arm of the guard in the flying fish robe like a snake.  There was no movement on Mu Xiaoyao's hand. With a click, Hong Ling suddenly tightened her grip and crushed the guard's arm to pieces!  The embroidered spring knife fell on the snow and immediately lost its luster.

    Mu Xiaoyao pulled Hong Ling, and the guard whose arm bones were shattered was pulled over. A long and beautiful white leg was kicked out fiercely, and the delicate feet wearing red embroidered shoes hit the guard's chest.  With a pop, the guard's chest immediately collapsed into a big pit.

    Hong Ling let go, and the body of the guard fell down softly.

    "Go together!"

    The remaining five flying fish robes gathered around, and someone turned around and shouted at the border soldiers: "Why don't you give the warning quickly?!"

    "Warning?"

    The leading border soldier looked at Fang Jie, who was standing not far away, and then at the horn beside his waist.  He didn't want to raise the horn. Fang Jie was his friend, but he also had a more important identity He was a soldier of the Sui Dynasty.  He saw Fang Jie waving to him, and he also knew that once he blew the horn, it wouldn't take long for the border troops to gather and come, including those from Chang'an City.

    "I'm sorry, Fang Jie."

    The team sighed and slowly took off the horn and put it to their mouths.

    The sound of the horn sounded on this silent snowy moonlit night.
