Chapter 77
The weather gradually started to heat up.

The complex of buildings by the Taohuaxi River gradually took on a magnificent appearance.

Of course the peach blossoms in Peach Blossom Villa have withered long ago, but they have produced fruit, which are already as big as the head of a thumb.

These days, Li Chenan's life is very comfortable, except for the bruised nose and swollen face that Wu Xichen gave to practice at the bank of Taohuaxi every night.

He forged twenty thin, compact and sharp flying knives at Blacksmith Zhao.

He thought of the novel he read when he was a teenager, and wondered if he had traveled into the world of that novel——

For example, the protagonist named Li Xunhuan's family is also a father and son of Qijinshi and Santanhua.

For example, they are all surnamed Li.

It's also like the little Li Feidao that I fiddled with.

It's just that Li Xunhuan gave up his true love for his friends, this is something he would never do.

It's just that Li Xunhuan's throwing knife is invincible, but his own throwing knife...

"What did you lose?"

Wu Xichen frowned and reprimanded loudly: "Although I disdain using hidden weapons as a teacher, I also know that the so-called hidden weapon lies in a secret word!"

"What is darkness?"

"That's erratic without a trace!"

"It is to make the enemy impossible to prevent and avoid!"

Wu Xichen held a throwing knife that Li Chenan had just shot at him between his fingertips, "Your throwing knife is both weak and intangible, even if you don't pick it up as a teacher, at most it will pierce your clothes, not even the fur! "

"Remember, the hidden weapon must be fast and ruthless! Like this...!"

Wu Xichen threw the flying knife caught in his fingertip.

Li Chenan saw a flash of light and shadow, and then there was a "duh", the flying knife shot at a peach tree, and it sank deep into it, not even showing the slightest bit of its tail.

"Master is mighty!"

Wu Xichen blushed a little and turned his head away. He wanted to shoot the peach, but he missed his head.

He left with his hands behind his back, and threw a word to Li Chenan: "Practice, just practice like this!"

"Don't delay practicing sword!"

The sword was on Li Chenan's back.

He did not forge this sword in Blacksmith Zhao's blacksmith's shop, but Wu Xichen gave it to him.

It was a sword that looked very old and seemed to have gone through many years.

The unknown layer of leather wrapped on the scabbard has long been mottled, and the sword tassel should have been red, but now it is covered with starch.

Draw out the long sword, the sword is three fingers wide and three feet two inches long, it is not silver, but black.

The black is so transparent that even light seems to be unable to reflect it.

On the hilt of the sword are engraved two words that can still be distinguished: no two!
No second sword, no second Zhou Tianjue.

But Wu Xichen didn't teach Li Chenan any sword skills.

He said...you can practice as much as you want.

Li Chenan drew out the No Er sword, and swung it casually a few times, feeling that his movements were handsome and elegant.

Paired with this cyan long gown, dancing with a sword seems like a fairy.

But he doesn't like this stuff, it's too dangerous.

So he inserted the No Er sword into the scabbard again, and continued to practice his Xiao Li Fei Dao.

At sunset he returned to the tavern.

At this time, the business of the tavern was just right.

Su Muxin warmly greeted the regular customers in the tavern, and when she saw Li Chenan coming in, she grinned.

"On the fifth day of May, Zhuxia Academy and Qianmo Academy will hold a Dragon Boat Festival in Huaping Lake together."

"Mr. Zhang, the director of Qianmo Academy, invited me, and asked me to invite you to go together, how about it?"

Li Chenan thought about it, this matter is really meaningless, but by the fifth day of May, his wine-making workshop was almost completed, and the first batch of wine could be brewed roughly in early June.

The three characters Huapingchun were inscribed by Hua Manting, so he decided to use the name Huapingchun on higher-end wines.

Then the newly brewed 35-degree wine needs to be called another name. He has already thought about it, and it is called Peach Blossom Brew.

To make this peach blossom wine accepted by the people of Guangling City, it can be advertised at the Dragon Boat Festival.

Let's get the atmosphere going first.

So he nodded, "It's fine to go, but I have a small request."

Su Mu was startled, "What request?"

"I want the naming rights for this essay meeting!"

"...What is naming rights?"

"It is to call this literary meeting the Dragon Boat Festival Cultural Meeting of Peach Blossoms."

"What is peach blossom wine?"

Li Chen'an explained to Su Muxin, and Su Muxin suddenly realized.

He admired Li Chen'an very much, because this Dragon Boat Festival literary meeting was very powerful, and it would have a great impact in Guangling City.

For the convening of this grand event, Mr. Zhang from Qianmo Academy even said that he would invite many celebrities from Qi Guangling City.

The girls from the Ningxiang Pavilion will also be invited to add to the fun.

On this occasion, let everyone remember the name Taohuaniang, and let all the drinkers look forward to the launch of this wine, and it will be a hit at that time!

"This matter...how about you talk to your father?"

Li Chen'an's father, Li Wenhan, is the principal of Takeshita Academy, and one of the initiators of this essay meeting, so if his father agrees to come, there is no problem.

Li Chenan waved his hand, "You should talk to Mr. Zhang."

"...Based on your current situation, I think your father wants you to go back."

"It's time to visit my mother. As for the rest, let's ignore it for now."

"Okay, I'll go to Qianmo Academy when I'm done with this later."

"Well, when will Miss Murong come back?"

Su Muxin smiled a little embarrassedly, "It will probably be mid-June."

"By the way, the small yard behind this tavern is too small. These days, you can see if there are any houses for rent or sale in the neighbors. It would be better to rent or buy."

"In this way, you can also move here from Qianmo Academy, and then you and Miss Murong will be able to stay together forever."

"it is good."

Li Chenan went to the backyard, Cuihua was turning over the grain in the wine trough, she seemed not in very good spirits.

I don't know what happened to this girl.

He is not easy to ask, after all, the girl is already so old, she will always be a little cautious.

He walked into the east wing, closed the door, took out the small box from under the bed and put it on the table.

Open the small box, inside is a stack of banknotes——

He didn't earn it from this tavern, but got it from Song Yuanping.

When he got it, there were fifty silver bills of one hundred taels in it, which is why he was able to equip the sixty young men of the Li family army with weapons.

That halberd is worth 25 taels of silver!
Sixty of them cost him 500 taels of silver!

Next, they had to be fitted with armor. Blacksmith Zhao said that if it was made according to the style he designed, a piece of armor would probably cost 60 taels of silver... This would cost another 600 taels, and 5000 taels of silver would be gone.

Or use rattan armor first.

After all, I haven't earned any money yet.

The money had to be used to buy grain first.

He put the banknote into his pocket, and took out the list of the Ichthyosaur Club from the bottom of the box again.

There are several people on this list that he has heard of or knows.

For example, Wen Huan, one of the three great talents in Guangling.

There are even Cai Tongan, son of Cai Zhengyao, and Shen Jiye, son of Shen Qianshan!
There is no Wen Xiaowan, the headliner of the Ningxiang Pavilion.

Of course, he has never heard of more.

Presumably he is a person in the rivers and lakes.

Gotta take down the names of these people and ask the sword dance girl.
