"Little Fengyuan can't wait now. Ever since Lu Qi Chamber of Commerce was transferred to the south by Dai Shangshu's order, this Fengyuan Pass has been controlled by General Bai. I heard that Zhiming Bamboo Sea is now General Bai Xin's back garden."

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful that the walls have ears." In the middle of the night, in a wine shop in Xiao Fengyuan, two drunken men were making a noise.One of them was awakened by the other's remarks and hurriedly reminded them, but it was too late.

"Who is spreading rumors in Xiao Fengyuan?" Three policemen in black and blue official uniforms kicked open the door of the liquor store with a bang.Half of the drunk people in the shop woke up immediately, and then dispersed, while the other half just pretended to be drunk and passed out.But the drunken man who talked and talked just now was as stable as Mount Tai, sitting where he was.He poured a jug of wine, raised his head and drank it again. "What's the matter, why are you leaving? Did I spread rumors? Now Fengyuan Pass, I don't know whether to guard the south or the north. Hahahahaha!" The man was obviously too drunk, and he didn't notice these three people at all. A policeman was already standing behind him.

"Good drinking capacity, but I don't know if what I said after drinking so much wine, will I regret it when I wake up tomorrow. You two, take him down." The leader of the policeman ordered the two men around him Then, the two policemen drew out the long knives around their waists, and they were about to reach the drunk man's neck.

"Hey, people from the official family only scare people. I'll see if you fall or not with these two long knives today." The drunk man seemed drunk, and his words were full of provocation, but he was full of confidence. The situation made the two police officers suspicious. "Master Quan, this person looks a little weird, I'm afraid he has some background, why don't you go to the White House to report and see what to do?"

"It's a waste, don't you want to see if my knife can fall, and today I will let you see who is in charge of Xiao Fengyuan." He snatched the long knife under his hand and slashed straight down.All the people present thought that they were about to see the scene of blood staining the wine shop, and those who pretended to be asleep also raised their heads to watch.The drunk man picked up the wine glass and flicked it to the back of his neck. The wine glass collided with the falling long knife in the air. Surprisingly, there was no crisp sound that people expected.Instead, I saw that the cup was like a sword that cut iron like mud, it directly cut off the long knife in Master Quan's hand, and embedded it into the pillar beside it.

"The one who respects the lamp?" The one who is called Master Quan is after all the little leader among the three. When the other two subordinates were frightened, they could still find that the drunk man was different from ordinary people. The wine glass might have condensed The power of lamp mist pops out.

"Since you are a Lantern Worshiper, please tell me your name. Just now, you used the power of lamps and mist against ordinary people like us. I'm afraid the Lantern Worshipers Association will punish you." Master Quan said calmly.

"The Association of Lantern Worshipers will only control the struggles that occur in the officially recognized regime area. I look at Xiao Fengyuan. This Zhiming Bamboo Sea is no longer the territory of Beiqi. Ask who I am, okay, tell me You, I am the secret envoy sent by the imperial court to Xiao Fengyuan to investigate." The drunk man picked up the wine glass on the table next to him, poured himself another glass of wine and said.

"Who did I think it was? It turned out to be Deputy Commander Wei Kai of the Xuanjia Army. I didn't know that Deputy Commander Wei came to visit, and let Deputy Commander Wei spend money on meals in my little Fengyuan. It's really my fault." It's also strange, perhaps it was Bai Xin's informant among the people who left the tavern just now, which made Bai Xin come to the place where the incident happened so quickly.When the three police officers saw Bai Xin coming to the tavern, they immediately had a backbone and stood in place with dignity.

"You're very good. What's your name? I just heard it, Master Quan?" Bai Xin glanced at the little policeman and said.

"General Bai dare not dare, the villain has all the money, I have met General Bai."

"Full money, hahaha, this name is also interesting. Seeing that you are in danger just now, go and find Bai Yi and ask him to find you an errand in the Bai family army. Go, bring your little brothers together " Bai Xin was in a good mood, and after dismissing the three of them, he sat beside Wei Kai and poured himself a glass of wine. "Commander Wei, if you like the wine in this store, you can eat good wine in this wine shop today. Store, huh? What about the store, forget it, Bai Ding, you go, go to the wine cellar to find a pot of good wine, Let me have a drink with Commander Wei." Upon hearing the order, Bai Xin's attendant turned and walked into the back kitchen, holding a large vat of wine in both hands, and placed it beside Bai Xin and Wei Kai.

"Hey, General Bai's battalion is full of talented people. Although it can't be said to be capable of carrying a tripod, it should be more than enough for a hundred catties." Wei Kai slightly sideways, commented casually.

"Commander Wei is joking, I can't compare to the Xuanjia Army of the capital here. It's rougher, but also freer. Commander Wei, let me offer you a toast." Bai Xin picked up the ladle from the wine jar and poured it into a small cup of wine. In the wine glass, it can be seen that Bai Xin has some kung fu in his hands.

"General Bai, I don't know if this little Fengyuan is still part of my Northern Qi territory? Is this Bai family army still listening to my Northern Qi emperor's orders?" Wei Kai pressed his hand on the wine glass and asked.

"Commander Wei, there is a difference in what you said. This Northern Qi is naturally the Northern Qi Emperor's Northern Qi, but the Northern Qi Emperor's surname is not Qi, so there is no guarantee." Bai Xin said casually.

"So it seems that General Bai is ready to support himself? Is he planning to change the name of this Northern Qi?"

"Hahaha, that's not necessary. The surname is Yuan, Shi, or Wei. It's just that it's really not good."

"Oh, I don't know where I neglected you, General Bai Xin." Wei Kai was obviously angry, but he was still sitting in the tavern, waiting for something.

"Looking at Commander Wei's posture, he should have come prepared, that's all, it doesn't matter what you say." Bai Xin drank the wine in the glass he had originally raised. "Life is only a hundred years old. A man is alive and has made meritorious deeds. Now, under the emperor's hand, what meritorious deeds and careers he makes is nothing more than farming, eating, and sleeping under the emperor and Dai Ming. How is this different from cattle and horses?" Yuan said. Master Chongwen has the world in mind, and my intention coincides with my intentions, when the time comes, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty will be conquered in the east, Rome will be conquered in the west, and the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed in the south, so as to unify the universe, wouldn’t it be a great joy.”

"Yuan Chongwen experienced the previous conflict between Lu and Qi, so he still hasn't understood the relationship between war and development? If the late emperor hadn't recuperated, how could there be today's Northern Qi?" After Wei Kai finished speaking, he heard the sound of warning arrows coming from the south.

"How many Xuanjia troops did Commander Wei bring?" Bai Xin poured another glass of wine and asked calmly.

"five thousand"

"Commander Wei, after losing the five thousand Xuanjia troops, how do you go back to do business?" Bai Xin said after taking a sip of his wine.

"Isn't General Bai too confident? My Xuanjia Army is number one in the world. Do you have 1 soldiers under Bai Xin who have gone through battle?" Wei Kai said.

"Commander Wei, why don't you go out with me?" Bai Xin got up and made a gesture of invitation to Wei Kai.

Wei Kai stood up naturally, seeing that Bai Xin was not afraid of the Five Thousand Xuanjia Army, he subconsciously wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Bai Xin's gourd.Then he followed Bai Xin out of the tavern.
