Sword Qi of the heavens

Chapter 183 Wine Stall, Yellow Horse, Apricot Blossom Wine
North Starling.

A young man who looks dusty and desolate is walking slowly in a remote and uninhabited countryside with an old servant leading a bony old horse.

A few steps away.

The young man couldn't hold on any longer, bent down, put his hands on his knees, and kept panting.

"Old Huang, I can't do it, I can't do it, I've been walking all night, I can't hold on anymore!"

Jian Jiuhuang led the horse, slowly patted Xu Fengnian's back, and smiled obsequiously. Perhaps because of the lack of front teeth, he seemed to be a bit leaky when he spoke.

"Young master, we are already at the boundary of Lingzhou. If you persist a little longer, we will go back immediately."

Xu Fengnian shook his head and said: "No, no, I really can't walk anymore. I see a wine stall in front of me. Let's go there and rest for a while."

Talking.

Xu Fengnian didn't wait for Jian Jiuhuang to answer, and staggered to the wine stand in front of him.

The entire wine stall is located at the entrance not far from the city gate. The place is not remote, but it is definitely not crowded with people and has nothing to do with the excitement.

The wine stall was empty.

Only a man in white was sitting in the corner, holding a bowl of wine in his hand, slowly tasting it.

However, it is a little strange.

This person doesn't drink like other people who like to drink freely and quickly. Instead, he has a playful smile on his face. He keeps looking at the surrounding scenery and takes a long time to take such a shallow sip.

It's not so much a drink and a rest, it's more like a boring pass time.

Xu Fengnian walked all night, thirsty and tired.

Regardless of the identity of the person in front of him, he sat down on the opposite side of him carelessly.

Xu Fengnian hastily brought over a clean bowl, poured some wine into it, held it in front of him, lowered his head slowly, took a deep breath, and showed a rare smile.

"The smell of Beiliang is so fucking delicious!"

Holding the bowl in both hands, he brought it to his mouth, pouring all the wine into his stomach with a gurgling gulp.

It wasn't until he drank all the wine in the bowl in one gulp that his thirsty and hot throat finally felt much more comfortable, and he even felt a little more strength.

Xu Fengnian wiped the corners of his mouth with his worn gray sleeve.

"Good wine! It's really enjoyable to drink!"

Just as Xu Fengnian put the wine bowl back on the table, ready to pour another bowl of wine.

Jian Jiuhuang, who had tied the horse just now, also followed.

He walked over two steps that were not considered high, looked around, and wanted to come to find Xu Fengnian.

It's just that when his sight is so small that it can't be any smaller, it is simply built with some wooden shelves, and he can almost see the entire structure at a glance.

Jian Jiuhuang's body sank slightly instinctively, and his palm quietly rested on the wooden box that he carried with him.

"Master, don't I see that there are several vacant tables nearby? We can sit at a table by ourselves instead of sharing with others."

"Hey, isn't there ready-made wine here?" Xu Fengnian waved his hands relentlessly, and was about to pull Jian Jiuhuang beside him to sit down, but he didn't hear anything wrong with Jian Jiuhuang's tone.

"If it was in the past, this would be broken apricot blossom wine, and I would not drink it for free, but after traveling for three years, I discovered that our Beiliang's apricot blossom wine is really a first-class product. If I don't have to hurry, I can fill myself up with just this apricot blossom wine!"

Xu Fengnian smiled, and then looked at the man in white sitting across from him.

"Hehe, I don't know what day it is recently. How come the people I meet are more beautiful than the other. Yesterday I met someone with red lips and white teeth, thin skin and tender flesh. He has a fox face that is really indistinguishable from male and female. He looks so unreasonable." .”

"Today's man, although not so beautiful, still looks like a handsome young man. He looks very much like those poor scholars who are full of benevolence and morality, and actually do dirty things in private. Look, it's a good match with that white fox face!"

Xu Fengnian put one foot on the bench and commented on Li Changlan to himself.

I don't know.

At this moment, Jian Jiuhuang's old wrinkled face was almost squeezed together.

No matter how you look at it, the face that can only be described as ugly is full of sadness and helplessness, and there is a faint feeling in my heart that this old bone is really going to be torn down by Xu Fengnian.

"Young Master, I think this young master is different." Jian Jiu Huang Yi said solemnly.

"Why is it different?" Xu Fengnian frowned, and looked at Li Changlan in puzzlement. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this face was really too delicate, even better than many top brothels he had seen.

"Well, you say he has a handsome appearance and extraordinary temperament, I agree, but if you want to say, young master, that he has a silver-like pewter tip, which looks good but is not useful, I don't approve of this old servant." Jian Jiuhuang With a smile, he clasped his fists at Li Changlan very politely, and saluted simply.

"Your Excellency, at first glance, he is a massive and magnanimous knight-errant!"

"Young master, you don't know martial arts, so naturally you don't like to listen to those things in the Jianghu. In order to avoid getting involved with those who fight and kill, in my opinion, we should not disturb his rest."

Xu Fengnian was surprised when he heard Jian Jiuhuang's words.

This old Huang, who has always been the most unhealthy and sloppy, has never known how to compliment others. Apart from cheating and abducting, he is best at telling dirty jokes.

Not to mention far away.

As far as the fox face I met before, his martial arts were simply outrageous.

A group of well-trained bandits armed with weapons could easily defeat them after only a few rounds in their hands. They didn't even draw out the two knives they wore around their waists, which is enough to show their strength.

It's all like this, and I haven't seen Lao Huang praise it.

Now, at the wine stall, I met a young man from a rich family who looked about the same as him, let alone a strong and muscular rich man, why did he take the initiative to talk nicely?

Xu Fengnian stared at Li Changlan suspiciously, and glanced up and down.

When he saw the long sword hanging from his waist, he thought it was a person who could not be judged by his appearance, but maybe he was really a genius who came out of nowhere.

But when Xu Fengnian took a closer look, he saw that the handle was considered a luxury no matter the material or workmanship, and if he knocked something from it casually, it would probably be enough for ordinary people to eat for several years.

Even rather than being a weapon, it is better to say that it is closer to a handicraft or a scabbard of a collectible.

Xu Fengnian completely gave up on the idea that came into his mind just now.

There are countless masters in the world, and people have various personalities and preferences, but after all, there should not be such superficial masters who pursue mundane things.

Xu Fengnian smiled, and directly denied Lao Huang's opinion, he was sure in his heart that this was a rich man who traveled abroad, and his extremely bluffing appearance was at best to deceive such an ignorant old man like Lao Huang.

That being the case, he no longer has anything to worry about.

After all, when it comes to the second ancestor.

There are many second-generation ancestors in the world, but who can compare with him, the son of Beiliang?

"Brother, I drank your wine, but you don't have to be burdened. We are destined to meet each other, and I will definitely return you with glory and wealth." Xu Fengnian was sure that Lao Huang must have missed his eyes, he waved his hand, Shaking off Jian Jiuhuang's grasping arm, drinking the wine and blowing the breeze, he felt more and more comfortable.

Jian Jiuhuang's face was getting darker and darker, and he couldn't stop sighing.

The sword case that he kept tightly beside him even quietly opened a thin gap.

At this time.

Li Changlan slowly put down the wine bowl in his hand.

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said with a light smile: "Although this apricot blossom wine is not comparable to my favorite peach blossom wine, it also has a unique flavor in some aspects. It's okay to take a few sips."

"But I had a friend I knew a long time ago. He had a saying that I still remember very clearly until now."

"Oh, I don't know which sentence it is?" Xu Fengnian asked curiously.

Under the watchful eyes of Xu Fengnian and Jian Jiuhuang.

Li Changlan slowly untied the long sword from his waist and gently placed it on the left hand side of the table.

"Taking without telling is stealing, and should be considered a thief."
