Chapter 336 Heavy Snow

It snowed heavily in Jiangzuo.

As the southern border of the Dawu Dynasty, Jiangzuo rarely snowed, but this time, perhaps because of the great changes in Kyoto, it snowed for several days in a row, and the thick snow covered the entire southern world.

But even in such bad weather, there was still a group of people walking hard in the snow.

They were the members of the Dawu Dan Bureau who were transferred from Kyoto by Lu Yu. Because they were inexplicably taken out of Kyoto, some of these people still complained, but with the great changes in Kyoto a few days ago, the news that the ancient city turned into a ghost domain came, and now no one complained.

After all, if they continued to stay in Kyoto, their fate would be the same as thousands of Kyoto people, turning into lonely ghosts in the ruins.

It was also because of this great change in Kyoto that the various places were changed from the original central government of the court to a state of separatism. There were constant disputes and wars in various places. There was no pure land within the territory of the Wu Dynasty. Therefore, they had to hurry on in such a bad situation in order to reach Lujiang County as soon as possible. After all, it was the base of Lu Yu. Only when they arrived there could they be truly safe.

At this time, there were two special figures at the end of the team.

Even in the heavy snow, the two people were wearing thick fur coats, but it was still difficult to hide their elegant and refined temperament, like two cold plums that were proud of the wind and snow.

They were Zhou Peiling and Lou Qianqian, two beauties who were in trouble and left Beijing.

Originally, they were going to leave Kyoto later than the team of the Dan Bureau members, but because the team of the Dan Bureau had a large number of people and their strength was uneven, the speed of marching was not as fast as the two of them. In addition, Lao Zhang of Wanhe Chamber of Commerce deliberately guided them, so the two of them joined the Dan Bureau team led by the Wen sisters.

Until then, the two realized that they had been tricked by Lu Yu. It was a waste of their enthusiasm for Lu Yu's so-called "Palace Treasure Stealing Plan", in fact, all this was just a cover-up, the purpose was to cover up the fact that he secretly transferred these members of the Alchemy Bureau.

"Liar!" Zhou Peiling cursed in a low voice.

Until then, she was still indignant and would mutter from time to time. As for the object of the curse, it was self-evident, naturally, the one who tricked them to come here to Lu Yu.

"Liar, liar, liar... liar!"

Not satisfied with just one curse, Zhou Peiling cursed more than ten times in a row before finally stopping.

Lou Qianqian, who was standing by, could understand her mood at the moment. She turned her head and looked at her. She saw tears in the eyes of the former young lady of the Zhou Mansion. She couldn't help but comfort her: "You don't have to worry too much. The two masters of the Dali Sword Sect didn't let you go back for your own good. You are alone, and there are wars everywhere at this time. Even if you rush back to Kyoto, it will be useless..."

"Besides, your father is the emperor's tutor, and his status is extremely respected. He must be protected at the highest level. Moreover, he has a high level of cultivation. Maybe he can escape..."

It would have been better if she didn't persuade him. Zhou Peiling's tears fell even more after persuading her: "Do you think I am worried about the life and death of that old guy? I'm not. Since he went crazy practicing martial arts and killed my mother when I was twelve years old, I wish he would die sooner... I just, I just... woo woo woo, I don't know what's wrong with me, I just suddenly feel a little sad..."

As she spoke, Zhou Peiling suddenly became sad and her emotions were completely out of control.

Lou Qianqian couldn't help but feel the same way. Things in the world are sometimes like this. You don't care when you have it, but you regret it when you lose it. Zhou Peiling thought she only had resentment towards her father, but she didn't even realize that deep in her heart, she still had a last bit of attachment to her father.

Lou Qianqian hugged her and stroked her back without saying anything else. She was born in a ten-mile painted boat and was accustomed to the warmth and coldness of human nature since she was a child. She knew that sometimes silent companionship is the best comfort.

After a moment, Zhou Peiling raised her head, wiped away her tears somewhat embarrassedly, and said: "The whole Kyoto was destroyed, and so many people died. Don't you feel sad?"

Lou Qianqian looked at the snowflakes falling in the sky and said softly: "I was born in a wealthy family in Dongchuan. Because I offended a senior official, I was framed and my family was beheaded, my property was confiscated, and I was sold to the Jiaofangsi..."

"My tears had dried up before I was ten years old. Later, I became an oiran. Although it seemed glorious on the surface, in fact, I faced intrigue and hypocrisy every day. Life in Kyoto never made me feel happy. Even the air felt oppressive, far less fresh than the ice and snow in the wilderness..."

"You asked me if I felt sad about the destruction of Kyoto. On the contrary, I felt a little comfortable..."

Zhou Peiling was completely stunned. She had never expected that the first oiran, who was famous in Kyoto, had such a rough life. Compared with her, her painful experience was nothing at all.

"Are you two unable to walk?"

At this time, the Wen sisters came over. Since the two men were slow to catch up, the Wen sisters turned back to check the situation.

"Or is Miss Zhou still thinking about sneaking back to Kyoto?"

It was Wen Ruman who spoke, and her tone was not friendly.

At first, Wen Ruman had no special thoughts about these two overly beautiful women, but since Lu Yu sent a message to specifically ask for proper arrangements for them, Wen Ruman couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

Wen Rulan, who was standing aside, glared at her sister and said, "Don't be surprised, ladies. The reason why we don't let you two act privately is that we are entrusted by Brother Wang to take you back to Dali Sword Sect to see someone... If you two are tired, I have two talismans of light body skills here to reduce your burden."

"Who to see?" Zhou Peiling asked directly.

Wen Rulan said, "I can't tell you now. You will know when you see me. All this is arranged by my brother."

"That liar!" Zhou Peiling gritted her teeth again, "It's still uncertain whether he can escape alive!"

The Wen sisters' faces changed slightly when they heard this. Wen Ruman raised her eyebrows and angrily said, "Stinky girl, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Isn't it?" Zhou Peiling was about to cry, "The whole capital was destroyed, and even the entire Wu Dynasty fell apart. So many people died, how could that liar survive?"

"You!"

Wen Ruman wanted to say something else, but was stopped by her sister.

Lou Qianqian also winked at Zhou Peiling and advised her not to add fuel to the fire.

Both sides gradually calmed down. Lou Qianqian bowed to the Wen sisters and asked gently, "I wonder if the two venerables have received any new news? Have you figured out what happened in the capital?"

Looking at this graceful and elegant first courtesan in the capital, the two sisters couldn't help but think, no wonder Senior Brother Yu favored her so much. This person can always give people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze. This kind of skill in dealing with people is really not something that ordinary people can learn.

Wen Rulan shook her head and said, "We don't know as much as you do. Frankly speaking, we are also worried about the safety of our brother, but worrying is useless. Instead of being hesitant and losing our composure, it is better to complete the task entrusted by our brother. Besides..."

She paused, and her tone became more resounding: "We have absolute confidence in our brother, because he has never let us down!"

Wen Ruman couldn't help but nod vigorously beside her to show her agreement.

Lou Qianqian was stunned. She didn't expect that these two disciples of the Dali Sword Sect had such strong confidence in the demon. It seemed that the relationship between them was not simple, and even the identity of the demon was not as simple as it seemed. Otherwise, how could he kidnap so many people from the Alchemy Bureau?

She wanted to recall the appearance of the demon, but unexpectedly found that the image of the demon in her mind was just like the fog on the Yulei River that night. Everything became hazy and unreal.

"I understand. Please rest assured, the two venerables. Young Master Wang tried every means to let us leave the capital in advance. We know what is good and what is bad. Since Young Master Wang has made arrangements for us, we will follow your instructions. He can't possibly want to harm us... We won't leave privately."

Lou Qianqian assured the two.

The Wen sisters couldn't help but flash a trace of approval in their eyes at the same time. This woman is really sensible. The more you look at her, the more complicated she is. She is definitely not just a vase.

Just at this moment, a call suddenly came from the front.

"Is that the team of two great immortal masters ahead? The Lujiang Army Command has led their troops to welcome you!"
