It's late at night and there are no lights in the long alley.

Zhu Manzhi pressed his hand on his waist and walked out of the alley angrily. He looked back and saw that Xu Buling had no intention of following him. Instead, he followed the wind and horse with small steps, spraying two white mist-like breaths in the cold wind. It was obvious that he felt that no one was holding him, which was not in line with his noble identity.

Zhu Manzhi took two steps, turned his head and glanced, and then widened his eyes with his small waist:

"What are you doing with me? I'm not the servant who leads the horse."

Zhui Fengma shook his head, as if he understood what the little guy in front of him said. He squirted and showed some dissatisfaction, so he turned his head and ran back.

"Hey--"

Zhu Manzhi pursed her lips and felt even more angry.

It’s better for Prince Xu to treat her as a guard, after all, he has a status and even treats her as a guard. He is so bullying!

Zhu Manzhi wandered around the alley for a while. She wanted to wait for Xu Buling to come out, but then she didn't really become a guard. After thinking about it, she felt that as a man from the martial arts world, she had some backbone. She snorted, turned her head and walked. After walking a few steps, she saw a small stone blocking the road, so she kicked it with the tip of her shoe. Unexpectedly, the stone rolled around and still blocked the middle of the road.

Zhu Manzhi's face darkened...

-----

There is a house near the Anti-Investigation Office two miles away. Most of the Wolf Guards are selected from all over the world. There are many people who live in Chang'an. The houses here are basically all the families of Wolf Guards. Zhu Manzhi is a newcomer and rents a small yard here.

When the wolf guards came out to work, there were very few people who brought their family members. Most of the people who were resting at night sat at tea stalls on the street and heard from the storyteller talk about their "great achievements".

Liu Houer was pulling peanuts at the tea stall on the street. When he saw Zhu Manzhi walking over in a depressed mood, he got up and said hello:

"Manzhi, why are you unhappy again?"

Zhu Manzhi kicked the small stones on the street without raising her head:

"I can't solve the case, I'm so annoying."

Liu Houer sighed and walked up to her and comforted her: "The stealing of the horse was a case last year. It was not solved at that time. Now it is difficult to solve it. Don't be so serious..."

Zhu Manzhi had no intention of listening to these things. He said "Yeah" and left.

Liu Houer thought for a while and said, "I don't know how many times the things recorded in the document library have been reviewed. Is it necessary to investigate the case or find the place where the case happened? If you have time, brothers will accompany you..."

"I know, I know--"

Zhu Manzhi walked a few steps and felt a little hungry. He ran over and took away a basket of peanuts on Liu Houer's table.

Liu Houer spread her hands and showed some helplessness: "Remember to your account!"

"I'll give the money back to me."

"Whoever is with whom, it hurts the feelings of money..."

——

Under the same sky, fine snowflakes sprinkle on the mountains and rivers, and the quarry in the outskirts of Chang'an City are on the lit days.

On the cold winter night, most of the corvee laborers who stayed here for renovation could only sleep in shacks, and the ragged cotton cloth and some dry thatch would make do with it.

It was late at night and a few bowls of porridge were obviously difficult to support the daytime work. After being tired of the day, the labor service that was weak after being tired, sometimes it would hold up to smell the cold air. The aroma of wine and meat floated from afar. Even if you couldn't eat it, it would be good to smell it.

In the house where the quarry manager lives, bursts of laughter were everywhere in the night wind.

The soldier stood under the building with a spear, and sometimes looked up, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything.

Step on the pedal-

The sound of horse hooves sounded from afar, and three horses galloped from the night. They walked all the way to the vicinity of the house, turned a blind eye to the guards, and rode directly outside the house.

The leader of the three was a master from the Li family. The two behind were wearing hats, fur coats, and swords and guns behind them were wrapped in black cloth. They were dressed as standard by people in the martial arts world.

The three of them dismounted outside the newly renovated house. The master walked to the door with a respectful expression and knocked:

"Second Young Master, someone brought it."

The music of the piano stopped laughing in the house. After a moment, two gorgeous women walked out with silver notes with a look on their faces, and their eyes were still swept over the bodies of the two gangsters.

"Come in!"

"yes."

The master bowed slightly and raised his hand: "Two, please come in."

Two tourists looked at each other and entered the small house.

Compared with the cold wind outside, the room is much warmer, and various luxurious decorations fill the room, and the air is filled with a slight unpleasant smell.

Li Tianlu put on his clothes, sat down on the couch next to the stove with a wine jar, and his sitting posture was in a random manner, and he looked at it a few times:

"Sit down."

The two tourists from the world didn't mind the attitude of this noble man, so they chose a place to stay in the house and sat down.

The master glanced outside for a few seconds before closing the door, walked to Li Tianlu, and bowed and said:

"Second Young Master, I have been paying attention to Zhu Manzhi's movements these days. I just got the news that Zhu Manzhi received an old case of stealing the horse in the Investigation Office. I will definitely go to investigate in the past few days. But the master asked you to be calm..."

Li Tianlu raised his hand and snorted faintly: "If you have a grudge, you are not a gentleman. I can't deal with Xiao Ting. Why can a little constable be me? At worst, I can stay in this quarry for half a month. Tie her over to me and do it cleaner."

The master laughed and looked at two men who didn't say a word:

"These two are goaters from other places, Xie Huan and Wu Biao, who just arrived in Chang'an, have a clean foundation."

Li Tianlu raised his eyes and looked at him: "How is your skills?"

Xie Huan, led by two tourists from the world, raised his hand and clasped his fists when he heard this: "I want to open a martial arts hall in Chang'an City. I'll come to pay a visit to the top of the mountain. You can rest assured that your skills are good."

Li Tianlu shook the wine pot and chuckled softly: "If you want to open a martial arts hall in Chang'an, you have to beat half of the hall in Hutai Street, you two?"

Xie Huan raised his head slightly, revealing his beard on his jaw: "I am enough for me alone."

Wu Biao next to him, carrying two unstitched iron spears behind him, raised his hand and said, "Although our brothers are young, we have traveled thousands of miles apart. The two of them have never suffered a loss when they joined forces. The Wang family in Taiyuan once invited us as their disciples, but my brothers wanted to make a name for themselves and came to Chang'an."

There is absolutely no one who can be a clerk to the aristocratic families. Li Tianlu nodded slightly: "Although my Li family is not the Li family in Longxi, it is no less than the Wang and Li families. In the future, it may not be impossible to be with several clans. As long as you get things done, you will do things under my hands in the future. The master of the martial arts school in Hutai Street is very familiar with him, just say hello."

"Thank you!"
