When the Great Dao Dies, I Remain; When Spiritual Energy Withers, I Endure

There is sometimes snow, and you can stop and go.

After learning that Li Changxiao had woken up, Xia Mei took Zuo Qiuye and Wen Tianyu to the carriage of the last carriage to visit Li Changxiao.

Two hot biscuits were also delivered.

Li Changxiao was not polite, took the cake, thanked him a few times, and drank the strong wine.

Seeing Zuo Qiuye, he secretly muttered twice about being an alcoholic.

Jianghu people all like wine.

Zuo Qiuye would drink a few sips from time to time, but when he was doing business, he never drank at all, for fear that drinking would make things worse.

Caravans of this size were rare on heavy snowy days. Li Changxiao was curious, so he asked casually.

Xia Mei thought for a moment and felt that it was okay to say it, so she told Li Changxiao that they had no choice but to rush on a snowy day.

She was originally a businessman in Lingtian City. The wealthy side, but recently when the emperor delegated power, the princes and princesses who gained power naturally had to show off their talents.

As a result, local taxes and water bills increased. In addition, various regulations were enacted every day.

Many businesses are in this turmoil and can hardly survive. The Xia family has a rich financial background, so they can survive a little longer.

However, it was not a problem to continue like this, so she, the daughter of the Xia family, was asked to go south to lay the foundation and leave a way out. If Lingtian City couldn't stay any longer in the future, she would move to the south.

After talking about the cause and effect, Xia Mei sighed. She told Li Changxiao that in the future, there will be more and more people on this road.

Li Changxiao told Xia Mei that he would also go south during this trip.

As a result, Zuo Qiuye immediately sneered, "Isn't it easy to take advantage of the car?"

Li Changxiao really meant this, and he didn't hide it. He nodded, "It would be great if I could drink more wine."

"You!" As soon as these words came out, Zuoqiu Ye's chest jumped up and down with anger, "How could there be a leper like you?"

"Young Master is quite honest." Xia Mei covered her mouth and chuckled, "But I am a businessman and I will not do business at a loss. How about this? I see that Young Master is also equipped with a long sword and must have some martial arts skills."

"If you encounter danger on the way, bandits, how about you take a little action, sir?"

Wen Tianyu on the side became dissatisfied, "Miss, are you worried about my swordsmanship? With me here, why spend money to hire another unknown swordsman?"

People in the world love to be competitive, especially Wen Tianyu, who has long been secretly in love with Miss Xia Mei, so naturally he cannot listen to this.

How could Wen Tianyu hide these little thoughts from Xia Mei? It was precisely for this reason that she wanted to recruit another swordsman.

When he rescued Li Changxiao from the snow, in addition to showing kindness, he also had this meaning, which was equivalent to a disguised way of putting some distance between him and Wen Tianyu.

Li Chang smiled, drank, and agreed.

Under night.

Everyone sat around the fire and began to rest.

The weather was very cold, and Xia Mei was wrapped tightly in mink fur, still shivering.

Not to mention the servants, who only wore a thicker cloth and leaned against each other, relying on each other's body heat to barely fall asleep.

Li Changxiao sat by the fire, poured the wine called "Drunk Life, Dreams of Death" into a teacup, and put it on the fire to warm it.

Warm it up, blow on it a few times, and drink it deliciously.

The aroma of the wine caught Wen Tianyu's attention, and he came over to ask for a drink and warm himself up with the wine.

Li Changxiao didn't want to give it, so he bluntly said that the wine was very expensive, which made Wen Tianyu sneer and scold you, a nobody, how can you afford expensive wine.

After being humiliated, his anger increased, but he was not so cold anymore.

Li Chang smiled and said, "Look, my trick is more effective than drinking, right?"

Wen Tianyu rolled his eyes and didn't want to pay attention anymore. Instead, he stood aside and practiced his sword skills.

People who practice martial arts have inner energy that protects their bodies, and their resistance to severe cold is much stronger than ordinary people.

Wen Tianyu is an expert in swordsmanship, and his moves are fierce. Although his swordsmanship is called Qingfeng, when he performs it, it is like a fierce ocean wave.

Bang!

The last sword swept the surrounding snow ten meters away!

When Xia Mei saw this scene, she also had a look of regret in her eyes. Wen Tianyu was a master, but unfortunately he was narrow-minded and criticized himself.

She didn't dare to use it easily.

Zuo Qiuye on the side, on the other hand, yelled "Okay", then took a long sword and started to use it again.

Her knife skills are like falling leaves, erratic, sometimes faster and sometimes slower, with a very solid foundation.

After doing it once, the bones in the body became warm. Unfortunately, once the excitement arose, it was not so easy to dissipate.

She looked at Li Changxiao and asked, "Would you like to come too? Let me show you to the bottom?"

"As for me, I'd better forget about the three-legged cat's skills." Li Changxiao shook his head and said.

A flash of displeasure flashed in Xia Mei's eyes, feeling that Li Changxiao, who was just starting out, didn't understand much about human affairs in the world.

People who work together in the world of martial arts should know each other's ins and outs.

"Forget it, let's just be honest with others when asked to do so." Li Changxiao thought about it and changed his mind.

It's better not to be special when taking advantage of others.

He patted the sword on his waist, took it out of its sheath, and used it roughly.

Wen Tianyu knew clearly in his heart and roughly knew what level Li Changxiao was at.

It's not that he's just a fledgling, he's just limited in talent and his martial arts training is ineffective.

No wonder drinking every day turns out to be a worrying future.

The same goes for Zuo Qiuye. He no longer paid attention to Li Changxiao, but looked at Wen Tianyu and said, "Brother Wen, how about you and I having a spar?"

Wen Tianyu laughed, intentionally or unintentionally, glanced at Xia Mei, and said hello.

So, the two of them started fighting.

Li Changxiao sat aside and watched, occasionally cheering.

"Master Changxiao, why are you going south?" Xia Mei came over and sat down next to Li Changxiao.

"To see an old friend." Li Changxiao looked at Xia Mei and suddenly smiled: "Why, are you disappointed? I'm not that kind of mysterious master who hides himself deeply."

Xia Mei shook her head and nodded, "A little bit, but why do I feel that Master is hiding his shortcomings?"

"No, no, my mortal martial arts are really at that level." Li Changxiao said seriously.

While speaking, his eyes were always on that duel.

Mortal martial arts...

It doesn't look bad.

...

The next morning.

It was a rare good weather, and the servants cooked a bowl of hot porridge early. After drinking it, they started to hurry early in the morning.

As long as you pass this mountain road, the road behind will start to be easy to walk. You can choose to take the canal or the official road.

Fortunately, the journey was smooth. They encountered some mountain bandits on the way, but their martial arts skills were all half-baked, not even as good as Li Changxiao.

Wen Tianyu was too lazy to take action, so the task naturally fell on Li Changxiao.

Helplessly, Li Changxiao, a Yuanying cultivator, could only act as a thug for mortals, but he himself enjoyed it.

Every time he took action, Xia Mei gave him some silver to fill his small treasury.

In this era.

Silver and gold are much more useful than spirit stones.

Li Changxiao accepted all the offers, thinking that he could buy some good wine in the town.

Soon, the group arrived at a small town.

After Xia Mei contacted the local big households, the other party promised to help them contact the canal port, so that they could go south through the Grand Canal tomorrow.

However, when the goods were loaded on the ship the next day, they suddenly received news.

At the bottom of the canal, there was a golden glow, as if a treasure had been born!

The government immediately sealed off the river and ordered people to go down to investigate. They found two golden statues!

Two golden statues of women!
