In Liaodong Twin Cities, before nightfall, there was a man outside the city wearing a fur coat and a hat and a silk cloak. From a distance, he looked like a handsome young man, but he didn't match the man's outfit, but he was riding a donkey. The donkey also seemed a little lazy. He sniffed from time to time and didn't know if he was dissatisfied with the cold weather.

The young master on the donkey's back didn't care, so he followed the donkey into the Twin Cities bit by bit. By the time he arrived at the Twin Cities, it was already completely dark. The young master was not in a hurry, just wandering leisurely until he arrived at the Gemini Building, the largest inn in the city, and then told the guy to prepare the forage and take good care of his donkey.

I sat down at the door of the lobby on the first floor and ordered some wine and food. The Liao area is already relatively north, not to mention the Twin Cities. When winter begins or even winter begins, the temperature will drop to a freezing point in late autumn. Therefore, when the houses here are built, they will make two floors of the walls. It is not because the two floors are cold-resistant, but there is an empty mezzanine between the two floors. Then there will be a place for burning coal and firewood behind each house, and the heat will be continuously burned, allowing the heat to pass through the mezzanine of the house and then discharged. Continuous heating can keep the house as warm as spring.

Moreover, there will always be people entering the houses, especially in public places such as restaurants and inns, where there are people coming and going, so every house will have a thick door curtain. Even the poorest families will at least use cotton door curtains. Better ones like Gemini Building are leather door curtains. This Gemini Building is worthy of being a big inn, with two people inside and outside to help guests lift the curtains.

The house is even more particular, and there is also a special cloak pavilion. There are special people who take off the cloak coat and hat for the guests who come in, put it in a fixed grid, and give the guests a corresponding brand, so that the guests can retrieve it after they leave after dinner.

After the young master came in, he chose a position near the door, and a friend said respectfully: "Young master, although the heating is burning enough, the people coming and going can't help but lift the curtains to welcome guests. It's inevitable that some wind and cold will come in. You don't think it's better to change your seat, wouldn't it be more comfortable."

The young master smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. The heating is burning enough. You will definitely feel a little hot when you drink and eat later. It will be a little cool and a little cool breeze will be comfortable later. Thank you for your care."

Seeing that the man insisted on sitting, he had nothing to say, so he ordered wine and food and left the table. When the wine and food were served, he drank and drank by himself. After a while, the young man muttered to himself: "It's coming soon."

Sure enough, the curtain was tilted soon, and a gust of cold wind came in. There was another person, a middle-aged man. After entering the lobby, he went up to the second floor without saying a word. The young man at the door kept watching him until he watched him enter a private room on the second floor.

The young master said, "My man, open a room for me, I will live here tonight. Take the wine, food and clothes to the room."

Then someone arranged the room and the young master lived in.

The night before yesterday, Mr. Xue received a message that someone knew the whereabouts of "Snowland Picture". The next day, he went to Twin Cities to meet the man. The middleman made an appointment with the two to the twin buildings. Mr. Xue arrived at the twin city yesterday and opened a private room as agreed today, waiting for the middleman and the man to come.

The appointment of Wu Shi met, and at this time, I saw Wu Shi, Old Xue was quietly waiting for the two of them to come. With a knock on the door, Old Xue responded and asked to come in. Then the knocker came in. When Old Xue saw that there was only the middleman, he felt that things had changed. But he didn't know yet, so he let the middleman sit down.

"Has things changed?" Mr. Xue poured a cup of tea and handed it over and said.

"When I went to look for him in the afternoon, the others were no longer at home, and there was no one in the family. He was not alone, so the whole family was gone." The middleman said.

"When you saw him yesterday, did you feel something strange?" asked Mr. Xue.

"There has never been anything wrong, but he is more careful and doesn't want you to come to his house. He just made an appointment here, but how could he know that this happened suddenly today?" said the middleman.

"Look at this, take me to his house and see if there are any clues?" Xue Lao thought for a while and said.

"Old Xue, it's cold and cold every day. It's snowing outside now. Judging from the wind, the snow will probably not be less. Why don't we go tomorrow? You can rest first?" said the middleman.

"You might as well, you know that the colder the weather is, the more nourishing it will be for me. It's just that you are troubled and you will suffer more." said Mr. Xue.

"Yes, look at my memory. As for me, don't worry, I have nothing to do with it. I have lived in the north for many years with the care of Xue Jing Palace and have been accustomed to this weather. Let's set off now." The middleman said with a self-deprecating voice.

What Mr. Xue was most worried about was that someone would stab him. After all, this "Snowland Map" has been lost for more than ten years and has never heard of it in the world. Now, I think someone wants to make the "Snowland Map" public. If this is the case, it will not be possible for the Jianghu to be targeted or even attacked Xue Jing Palace again just like the previous affairs of Old Bing Monster. He can handle these news as soon as possible and deal with it as soon as possible.

The two of them left the twin building together and continued to go east to the city. The wind and snow were indeed heavy at this time. Old Xue didn't show anything in the wind and snow. However, the person next to him had a much worse martial arts cultivation. He was not practicing the ice true energy, so he walked a little slow. Old Xue didn't urge him, but just followed him silently. After walking for about two or three quarters of an hour, they stopped in front of a yard in a remote path.

"The gate of the courtyard is not locked, let's go in directly." The middleman looked around, then pushed the door open and entered the yard. Mr. Xue followed in immediately and then managed the gate.

At this time, the middleman took the lantern from the house and Lao Xue looked at the yard. Except for some snow, there was nothing obvious difference in the yard. If you have to say it was different, it felt that the yard was extremely empty, so empty that it seemed as if no one had ever lived in it.

After all, the yard was very windy and snowy, so I couldn't see the details clearly, so Mr. Xue entered the house and waited on his palms in the house and checked carefully. Everything was neat and neat, as if someone had specially cleaned it. Mr. Xue carefully looked at each room, but did not see any clues.

At this time, Mr. Xue was a little suspicious. If no one lived in it, the house was cleaned cleanly. If someone lived in it, the tidy feeling seemed extremely deliberate. He always felt that something was wrong. The only possibility that he guessed at this time was that the man and his family were kidnapped or killed, and then he sorted out the place. If this is true, the matter of "Snowland Picture" might have to be postponed.

Sometimes we think we are rushing towards success, but we are waiting until we think we succeed, but what we see may be a trap.
