Seeing the clouds

Chapter 75 Chapter 74 Discussing and buying wine

This sudden situation really made Zhang Yue and Wang Youfang a little overwhelmed.

When the middle-aged man who was lying drunk on the ground saw that the two of them were in another situation, he laughed drunkenly and said, "It seems that you two have other things to do, so I'll just wait patiently."

Zhang Chu turned to look at Liu Xuan: "Can you recognize me even if I change my face?"

Liu Xuan was not alone when he appeared outside Chang'an City this time. He was accompanied by a mediocre-looking young man in white and a smart and cute girl.Perhaps Liu Xuan was still holding grudges about the tragic situation in his previous fight with Zhang Yue. At this moment, he seemed to be extremely jealous when his enemies met him. He gritted his teeth and said, "I recognize the knife on your waist."

Although Zhang Chu saw Liu Xuan's unkind expression, he was not displeased at all: "Then what advice do you have today?"

Liu Xuan looked at Zhang Yue coldly: "Thanks to you, I still remember the tragic defeat outside Chang'an City. I have practiced hard these days and improved in martial arts. You and I will fight again. I, Liu Xuan must avenge his shame today!"

As a result, as soon as Liu Xuan finished speaking, the young man in white behind him slashed his Tianling Cap with a knife: "When traveling in the world, it is taboo to declare your family status in front of the enemy."

Liu Xuan covered his Tianling Cap and, regardless of other people's reactions, he hurriedly said respectfully to the young man in white: "Master, I know I was wrong..." The aggressive aura he had just now was completely gone.

Zhang Chuchu saw that the young man in white could make such a change in the red-haired boy's expression with just one sentence. He was secretly amazed and suddenly felt that this was something interesting for the master and disciple.

When the girl next to Liu Xuan saw that Liu Xuan wanted to compete with others again, she asked Liu Xuan angrily: "Brother, are you going to fight with others again? You get injured every time you fight with others. Xiaolan doesn’t allow you to fight with others in the future!”

Liu Xuan lowered his head and looked at Xiao Malan beside him, with a sad face again. He didn't know what to say to convince his lovely sister.

When Zhang Yue saw this, he naturally borrowed a donkey to go downhill. He had no intention of fighting Liu Xuan here.The situation outside Chang'an City was critical, so they fought him out of helplessness. In the final analysis, the two of them had no grievances. Naturally, it would be better to do less than to do more, not to mention that there was an unarmed Wang Youfang beside him at this time.

Zhang Chuchu then said to Liu Xuan: "I chose to fight you outside Chang'an City for a reason and out of desperation. Besides, we were at a draw at the beginning, so how could we avenge our previous shame?"

Liu Xuan turned to look at Zhang Yue again: "I, a martial artist who has practiced hard on fists and kicks, have a draw with you, a swordsman who doesn't hold a sword. Isn't it shameful?"

Zhang Chuchu was speechless.

Liu Xuan continued: "So today I must discuss it with you again to relieve my depression."

Zhang Chuo shook his head: "I have no reason to fight you."

Liu Xuan saw that Zhang Yue was unable to make any progress, so he wanted to find another way: "Since you don't want to take action, I have to make things difficult for the brothers around you." Then he said to Wang Youfang: "Brother, I'm sorry."

After saying that, Liu Xuan completely ignored Xiao Malan's dissuasion and ran towards the two of them.

Zhang Chuchu had no idea that Liu Xuan would threaten Wang Youfang, a powerless scholar, in order to fight him, and he felt anxious and angry.Just when Zhang Chuedu was about to refute Liu Xuan's shameless behavior, Wang Youfang beside him suddenly pulled out the wooden sword he was carrying behind him and burst out with an astonishing momentum. He was completely unafraid in the face of the menacing Liu Xuan.And just when Zhang Yue had no time to think about what was happening in front of him, the wooden sword in Wang Youfang's hand had already been thrust out, and the huge qi machine turned into a qi sword and flew towards Liu Xuan, with the power of qi penetrating the rainbow.

The oncoming Liu Xuan was also forced to stop by the sudden momentum. He really didn't expect that the seemingly ordinary young man in front of him could have such strength.Just when Liu Xuan had no choice but to retreat and was about to use his fist wind to smash the nearby air sword, the young man in white clothes whom he had just replaced as his master suddenly raised his right hand and stretched out only two fingers towards Liu Xuan, and then Then a stream of energy seemed to condense in front of Liu Xuan, like a calm lake.The moment the Qi Sword hit the lake, it disappeared like a stone in the sea. Only ripples appeared on the lake, while Liu Xuan behind the lake was unscathed.

The exchange at this moment was so short that pedestrians did not notice the changes just now, but felt that there seemed to be a gust of wind.The middle-aged man who was drunk on the side just now is still looking at this side with interest even though he is still drunk.

Wang Youfang was a little surprised when he saw that his Qi movement was easily stopped by the young man in white across from him with a snap of his fingers.

The young man in white said, "Come back, you are no match for them."

Liu Xuan was still immersed in the scene just now and was a little dazed. He suddenly woke up when the young man in white called him like this. He turned around and asked, "But master, is this shameful revenge going to be avenged?"

The young man in white said expressionlessly: "The days are long and there will always be opportunities."

Although Liu Xuan was full of reluctance, since his master had spoken, he could not disobey his master's wishes, so he had to give up.Then he asked Zhang Chuchu: "Then will you participate in the youth meeting?"

Zhang Chuchu shook his head and said: "I am past the age to participate in the conference."

Liu Xuan sighed with some dissatisfaction: "Since you don't participate, this youth conference is really boring to me, so I won't participate either."

Zhang Chuchu then replied: "You and I are not the only two people in this world. Since you intend to practice hard and improve your cultivation, you should participate in the Youth Conference. This Youth Conference is full of talents, hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Maybe you will meet Against a better opponent than me.”

Liu Xuan thought about it again and again, and felt that what Zhang Chuo said was reasonable, so he nodded and said: "That's true...but next time we meet, you must fight me again."

Zhang Chuchu replied: "If the time is right next time, I will consider it."

Liu Xuan said: "Okay, see you next time." Then he turned and ran back to the young man in white and Xiao Malan, and then the three of them turned and left.

Zhang Chuchu finally breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the red-haired boy with unusual behavior leave.Then he turned to look at Wang Youfang and said in surprise: "Youfang, you..."

Wang Youfang thought that Zhang Yue was blaming himself for taking action without permission, so he scratched his face with a guilty conscience and said with a smile: "When I saw the red-haired boy charging at him in a menacing manner, I couldn't control myself and took action without even thinking about it. I didn't take others into consideration, I'm sorry, Brother Yue..."

Zhang Chuchu was amused by his words, and then explained: "I'm not blaming you for taking action without permission... I'm asking what's going on with your Qi Ji, which has obviously passed the first-level realm!"

Now it was Wang Youfang's turn to be surprised: "Ah? Didn't my brother tell you about it, Brother Yue?"

Zhang Yue's face was full of confusion: "What did you talk about...?"

Wang Youfang saw that Zhang Yue was unaware, so he explained to him why he and his brother Wang Xuechang had first-class qi energy at such a young age.

As a result, the more Zhang Yue listened, the more unbelievable he became. After all the hard work, he had just barely touched the threshold of the first rank. As for crossing the threshold of the first rank, he didn't know that he would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.As a result, these two brothers just studied and achieved a first-class level that countless people in the world dream of.It's really irritating that people are more popular than others. If I had known earlier, I should have listened to Mr. Bai and studied hard.Wang Youfang continued: "However, we two brothers have only one realm. In actual combat, when we meet the enemy, we are no different from ordinary people. The move just now is all I have. If I fail to defeat the enemy, I will probably not be able to defeat it normally." Success leads to benevolence, and blood is shed on the spot.”

Zhang Yue, who was already two years old, listened to Wang Youfang's clearly derogatory words but said in his heart: Brother, you are almost done, but stop it quickly. If you keep talking, Brother Yue, I will shed blood on the spot.But thinking about it in his heart, Zhang Yueming felt uncomfortable on his face, so he had no choice but to nod his head in agreement.

At this time, a voice broke the conversation between the two of them: "You two little friends, have things been arranged properly?"

Only then did the two of them remember the strange middle-aged man who was drunk on the roadside just now, and hurriedly came to the middle-aged man. Wang Youfang asked out of curiosity: "Sir, is there anything you need help from us brothers?"

The middle-aged man smelled of alcohol, was wearing white casual clothes, and was holding a fine gourd in his hand.Although the middle-aged man was very drunk at this time, the white clothes on his body were stained with loess because he was drunk on the ground, making the whole person look sloppy.But the temperament on his body and the charm on his face are still extraordinary.

The middle-aged man reached out and poured out the gourd in his hand. As a result, the gourd was empty. It seemed that he had finished drinking the wine.Then he said sleepily: "I'm too drunk to drink, and I can't walk at this moment. Can you ask two friends to go to the hotel in the north of the village to help me buy a jar of good Dukang wine?"

Perhaps this drunk man had a unique charm, so the two of them agreed without thinking too much, and then they walked towards the north of the village.

The two of them walked along and asked people about the location of the hotel. After walking for less than a stick of incense, they arrived at the hotel.The hotel's facade is not big, but it is filled with all kinds of wine. Apart from the shopkeeper who is dozing off, there is no one else in the store, making it seem a bit deserted.

Zhang Chuchu gently knocked on the wooden door of the hotel and then walked into the store and said: "The store owner?"

The hotel manager was suddenly awakened, perhaps because the sweet dream he had just been having was interrupted by two uninvited guests. The manager looked a little unhappy at this time, and then said coldly: "You can choose whatever wine you want."

Wang Youfang felt a little displeased and said: With this attitude, it is really rare for this hotel to continue to open.

Zhang Yue was not displeased at all and asked respectfully: "We two want to buy a jar of good Dukang wine, but we don't know much about the wine. Can you please help the store to point it out?"

The hotel manager raised his eyebrows and said, "Dukang? If you don't want to sell it, you won't sell it!"

Wang Youfang was unhappy because of the attitude of the hotel manager just now, but when he heard the hotel manager's refusal, he suddenly became angry.But just when Wang Youfang was about to have a seizure, Zhang Yue reached out to stop him. Then Zhang Yue asked with a calm expression: "Can the store tell me the reason why I don't sell Dukang wine?"

The hotel manager said unhurriedly: "I have a lot of liquor in this shop, but there is only one bottle of Lao Dukang. It is of excellent quality and is the treasure of the shop. No matter how many people beg me to sell it, I am not willing to sell it." . So naturally I won’t sell it to you two today. Don’t waste your time here, please come back.”

After Wang Youfang listened to the hotel manager's eviction order, he stretched out his hand and pulled Zhang Yue's sleeve to signal that he was leaving.But Zhang Yue did not give up, and said patiently: "Tea and wine should be used for tasting. Wouldn't it be a pity if it were covered in dust like a sword buried at the bottom of a prison?"

The hotel manager said in a strange voice: "I don't think you are a good wine drinker, do you?"

Zhang Chuchu cupped his hands and said, "To be honest, I'm not good at tasting wine, but I was entrusted with buying wine, so I ask the store owner to be kind and make it convenient."

The hotel manager said: "Okay, you two are lucky today. Don't you have two sabers on your waist? Keep the short one, and I'll give you this wine."

Zhang Chuchu didn't expect that the hotel manager would take a fancy to Yu Gong on his waist, but then he shook his head and said: "This knife was a gift from others. I forgive you for not exchanging the knife for wine."

The hotel manager stared at Zhang Yue for a long time but didn't answer. He didn't know what he was thinking.

After a while, the hotel manager said: "Forget it, for the sake of your kind attitude, I will step back. You pay ten taels of silver, and the wine will be yours."

Neither Zhang Yue nor Wang Youfang expected that buying this jar of wine would actually cost ten taels of silver.The total amount of money Zhang Yue was carrying at this time was less than one tael of silver. Although several people were traveling together and Zheng Baiyu was keeping all the money, even if Zheng Baiyu's money was added, it was only a few taels less, and there was no one here. Bank, unable to withdraw money.

Zhang Chuchu turned to look at Wang Youfang, who also shook his head with a bitter look on his face.

Zhang Chuchu sighed, it was really a penny that stumped a heroic man.

The hotel manager seemed to notice the embarrassment of the two of them: "If we don't have enough money, there is nothing we can do. Please come back, please."

Just when the two of them were desperate and ready to go home, a voice suddenly came in: "Ten taels of silver is just ten taels of silver. I'll pay for them." Then a female figure walked into the store.

Zhang Chuchu was overjoyed when he heard this extremely familiar voice and turned around quickly.Then he saw: a girl with a scar on her right eyebrow was staring at him with a smile. The girl's smile was so overwhelming.

Zhang Yue didn't expect that the person he thought about day and night would actually appear here at this moment. He had so many thoughts in his heart and his eyes gradually turned red.

Fang Suxiao looked at Zhang Yue's appearance, and her heart was naturally full of warmth, but she still joked: "Why, it's only been so long since we've been apart, and you don't recognize me anymore?"

Zhang Yue held back his tears, ignored Wang Youfang beside him, and responded with a smile: "I can't recognize him, he looks better than before."

Fang Suxiao didn't expect Zhang Yue's answer at all, and her face instantly turned red: "Bah, you're a scumbag!"

Although Wang Youfang didn't know who was coming at this moment, seeing the two people's flirting looks and ambiguous words, he guessed that the person coming was probably Zhang Yue's lover.So he stood aside quietly and said nothing.

Zhang Chuchu and Fang Suxiao then stopped talking and just looked at each other quietly, as if they wanted to convey what they were thinking to each other through their eyes.

As soon as Jinfeng Yulu met, they won but countless on earth.

And just when the two were immersed in the beauty of their reunion, the voice of the hotel manager interrupted their thoughts at an inappropriate time.

"This girl, I'm talking about 20 taels."
