The wind is getting more and more urgent.

When I lifted the curtain and looked out, I could already feel the tiny snow foam rolling in the wind, and the smacking on my face was a little cold and painful.

Even their horses seemed to feel something from the wind and became anxious, especially as they got closer and closer to the city gate, several horses had even begun to stop. No matter how the owner clamped the horse's belly or even beat it with a whip, they were just circling in anxiety.

The team even became a little confused for a while.

But Xie Feng is always the most calm among these people. He rode his horse and slowly walked forward to lead the way. In the wind and snow, I saw his back. Although he was as tall and majestic as before, he didn't know why, exuded an inexplicable and sad atmosphere.

Finally, we turned a corner and arrived at the city gate.

From a distance, I saw a large open space outside the city gate.

Tianjin City is a port and is also a must-pass place for some officials and merchants to leave the south of Beijing. With more people coming and going, the city gate has become lively. We can even see more than ten pavilions on both sides of the open space, including teahouses, wine shops, and places for rest. There are also several simple stables. Obviously, someone is doing reselling or renting horses in this place.

I think this place used to be a very lively place.

But at this moment, I could not hear anything except the sound of the wind.

Because not only did there not a single guest in these teahouses, there was not even a host to attract guests, but the stables were empty, except for a few dried grasses that were blown away by the wind, there was nothing else.

The entire city gate was empty.

The tall city gate was so tightly closed that it could not even be seen in a crack. Only when the strong wind blew, it made the door tremble slightly and made a whimpering sound. In such a quiet and empty place, it made people feel more and more chilling.

Our team stopped outside the city gate and seemed to be shocked by such a scene. For a moment, even Xie Feng did not take a step forward.

And at this moment, I saw Xie Feng's eyes slowly looking at a teahouse on the side of the road.

The wind kept shaking with the straw curtains. Just when the curtains were blown up, I realized that there was actually a person sitting in the teahouse.

My heart suddenly jumped, and everyone around me obviously noticed it. Everyone's breathing became tense, and their eyes were all focused on the teahouse.

The wind seemed to sense the atmosphere at this moment, becoming more and more anxious.

When the curtain was blown up, we saw clearly that the man was facing away from us. There was a tea bowl on the wooden table in front of him. He reached out and picked it up and took a sip, and slowly put it back. I don’t know how long he had been sitting here and how long the tea bowl had been placed, but in such cold weather and such bitter north wind, even the boiling water just burned, would condense into ice in a short while.

This man seemed to have no feeling at all, and was still drinking his tea slowly.

At this time, everyone was almost sure that this person was waiting for us. If there was really an empty city plan in Tianjin, then this must be the person who designed it.

Who is him?

The city gate is closed and all the business outside is closed. Who else will appear at this time?

Everyone around became nervous - even though Xie Feng had already said that there were no ambushers inside and outside the city, a person like this suddenly appeared. Such a strange scene, even if there was no soldier or soldier, was enough to make people overwhelmed by the fear in their hearts.

Just as everyone was nervous and staring with breath, Xie Feng gently shook the reins in his hand, and the horse under his seat stomped his tiny steps and slowly walked forward.

Tak-tak-tak-tak-

The horse's hooves stepped through the gravel road in front of the city gate and made a monotonous sound. The sound that was originally drowned by the wind became particularly harsh at this time, as if they were stepping on everyone's heart.

The man in the teahouse seemed to have heard it. The tea bowl he sent to his mouth was slightly suspended, and after taking another sip, he slowly got up, lifted the curtain and walked out.

Everyone's breathing sank for a moment.

The person who came out was a noble young man in his thirties.

Although he was a noble young man, his clothes were not noble, nor were they silk or thick fur to keep warm. They were just the most ordinary jacket, with tight sleeves and black boots on his feet, which made him look tall, with a bee-waisted back, and a charming figure as if he was in the painting.

But for some reason, this person is not considered noble, but when this person appears in my eyes, the words "Naughter" suddenly appear in my heart.

Perhaps it was because his back was too straight, his eyes were too sharp, his expression was indescribable arrogance, and the aura that was so strong that even Fengxue could not be exerted.

However, the most eye-catching thing is that he is holding a saber in his hand.

The blade is slender and bright, and it keeps shining with cold light in the wind and snow.

And this man was like this sheathless sabre, extremely sharp and more murderous intent. When he slowly walked out of the teahouse and reached the center of the open space, the tall city tower and the closed city gate behind him seemed to have only become a setback behind him, and he was the master here.

I vaguely felt that this person was not only unkind, but also extraordinary.

On the other side of the carriage, Han Zitong lay down by the window and looked at the scene, as if she felt heavy pressure. She frowned and said softly: "Who is this person?"

Everyone probably has such doubts in their hearts.

But no one dared to speak at this time.

The only thing that broke the peace of this moment was Xie Feng. His horse was still paced forward slowly, and the clattering sound seemed to be urging something.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Finally, he walked to the front of the team and was facing the man holding a sabre.

Xie Feng was silent for a while and said, "Who are you?"

Xie Feng stood with his back to us, and his voice was naturally forward. With the sound of the wind, the sound should be very weak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, every word sounded clearly in everyone's ears. Even when his voice came to the other side of the city wall, it actually echoed.

Even I, a completely layman, knew that he had been focusing on his words.

Sure enough, the man narrowed his eyes slightly.

However, his expression was not too nervous, but he was a little calmer than just now. He said coldly: "You came with swords and weapons, and came with murderous aura. When you arrived at the city, you asked me who I am?"

Xie Feng said: "Are you a person in the city?"

"That's right."

"Why are you the only one here?"

"Of course it's to stop you."

"You're the only one?"

When the man heard this, he seemed to be more proud and smiled coldly: "What's wrong?"

Xie Feng's shoulders tightened slightly, as if something attracted his idea, and then suddenly said, "Who are you?"

The man looked at him coldly: "Do you have to repeat my words again? If you want to know who I am, why don't you report your own name first and say what you mean by."

Xie Feng was silent for a moment and said, "My surname is Xie. I'm here to find someone from the Yuwen family."

“…!”

The man holding the sabre seemed to frown slightly, paused for a moment before he realized, and raised his head to look at him: "Your surname is Xie?"

"That's right."

"Are you a descendant of the Xie family?"

"That's right."

The man looked him up and down, his eyes deeper than before. He nodded and said, "Okay, you'll get off the horse."

His words were directly domineering, as if they were orders, and Xie Feng actually got off the horse obediently. After letting go of the reins, the horse ran back immediately, and stopped until the people here held it.

Xie Feng looked up at the man and said, "Now, you can tell me who you are, right?"

The man said calmly: "I am Yu Wenying."

Although the two people did not communicate their names until this time, it seemed that they had guessed each other's identities at the beginning of the conversation. So when Xie Feng heard the name "Yu Wenying", Xie Feng did not express much except for a slight twitching of his shoulders.

But the people here obviously couldn't calm down.

Even when I heard this name, I was a little lost.

Yu Wenying...

Yuwen.

This surname is a rare compound surname. It comes from outside the pass, but earlier than the royal family. In recent decades, there seems to be no more trends in the Central Plains. The only thing that makes people remember is that most of the Yuwen family members are very skilled in martial arts. Throughout the dynasties, people from the Yuwen family appeared near the palace or even the emperor.

For example, the Tianjin City in front of you.

Although there should be a court army stationed here, the Yuwen family members are also here and have their own power. Although they are like powerful gentry in other regions, because their appointments come directly from the emperor, their interests are also closely related to the court.

However, what I thought of was that the people of the Yuwen family and the imperial army guarded Tianjin City together, and set up a formation here to confront Pei Yuanxiu's army. A bloody battle would determine the outcome, but now it is a bit surprising.

There were no guards on the city tower, and there were no ambush inside and outside the city. Only Yu Wenying, holding a sabre, stood here.

And between him and Xie Feng-

Xie Feng said: "Yu Wenying, do you want to stop the people here by your own efforts?"

Yu Wenying looked at him and then behind him. The army here still had no fear in her eyes. It seemed that this was a normal thing. He said lightly: "What's wrong?"

Xie Feng said: "Have you heard that our righteous master was invincible all the way and was invincible. From Jinling to Tianjin, there was no city we could not take."

“…”

"You are alone and want to stop us. Isn't it a mantis arm to be a chariot?"

Yu Wenying sneered and said, "Of course I have heard of it. I have heard too much about you."

“…”

"I heard that the river outside Yangzhou City is full of the bodies of soldiers who died in battle; I also heard that you killed many families of ordinary people in Huai'an; I also heard that Cangzhou City was besieged by you, with food cuts for more than a month, and suffered heavy casualties. Now, there are probably not many living people."

His words were colder than the wind and snow at this moment.

Xie Feng's tone also became cold: "Then, do you still want to stop us? Do you also hope that this city will end up in such a war and eventually falling into a world full of corpses and people will live in poverty?"

Yu Wenying said: "Of course I don't want to."

Xie Feng said: "Then why are you--"
