Fu Canglu

Chapter 316

The journey around Xiguan is much longer than going straight to Luoyang and then going south.

Xiguan is vast and desolate, and it is completely white during the heavy snow season.

Although the snow has been much smaller.

Now almost all cities in the Northern Wei Dynasty have begun to open their cities to release people, but there is no Forbidden City Order, and the ice on the roads has not yet melted, so the people outside the Great Wall are still sparsely populated.

At the end of December, the heavy snow will stop.

This snow that has been rare for decades will eventually leave.

And the new year is coming.

The heavy snow on Misty Slope was cleaned regularly, and the soldiers guarding Xiguan basically couldn't tolerate a little stain on the tombstone of the feudal lord.

Jiang Qingyi stretched her waist, it was already a night outside the window, and the dawn was slightly rising.

He read a book in this tavern all night, he was a little tired, and he took a nap near dawn. Now he woke up, looked around, and found that the alcoholic had already woken up, just squatting on the chair motionless, sweeping his eyes away. Dejected, staring outside the house with piercing eyes.

Jiang Qingyi rubbed her sore brows, and said softly to the alcoholic: "I'll go to Misty Slope to finish drinking for that one, and I'll treat you to a drink when I come back later."

The drunkard hummed lightly.

Jiang Qingyi didn't care about the uncharacteristically drunkard, and walked out of the tavern while stretching his body.

The thick curtain outside the house was lifted.

When the morning light first came in, the dark tavern was filled with light.

Jiang Qingyi frowned and looked back against the light, and saw a tall figure clearly.

Somewhat familiar.

The man was wearing a sword with a sword on his right and a straw hat yesterday. He was tall and burly, a head taller than Jiang Qingyi. He opened the curtain and walked straight into the house.

Jiang Qingyi suddenly remembered this person.

It was the sixth-rank commander who used Yuanli not long ago to beat the drunkard to pieces!
Jiang Qingyi mobilized files from Yuan Sixing and found out the origin of this person.

The name of this commander is Xu Man, he is a native of Xiguan, he has no background, and has stepped up to the position of commander step by step by relying on military achievements and hard power.

As for the beating of the drunkard before, it belonged to one willing to hit and the other willing to suffer. The drunkard didn't complain about this person after drinking the wine, so Jiang Qingyi couldn't stop him or control him.

The sixteen-character battalion in Xiguan knew that Mr. Yuan Sizhi was paying more and more attention to this young man in light shirts. If nothing else happened, this thin and weak boy was likely to be the most important figure in Xiguan in the future.

After more than a year, no one is willing to offend Jiang Qingyi.

When there is him in the tavern, the drunkard will not run out of wine. Even if these soldiers hold back their anger, they will restrain themselves and will not spill it on the drunkard.

Xiguan's military camp is quite far from Misty Slope.

The town where the tavern is located is farther from the barracks and Misty Slope.

Jiang Qingyi brought the drunkard to this small town recently, basically there is no harassment from the barbarians in the army, and Jiang Qingyi also gave the drunkard enough money for drinking every day, just hoping that he can live in peace without being beaten.

Jiang Qingyi narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Man's back.

He said calmly, "Stop."

The sixth-rank commander stood as firmly as an old tree with roots, his face remained motionless, and he exhaled softly, "Master Jiang, this subordinate is here under the order of Lord Yuan, please don't stop him."

After saying a word, Xu Man took a deep breath, ignored Jiang Qingyi who had an uncertain expression, and walked straight to the table of the drunkard.

The drunkard ignored the sixth-rank commander, his eyes still staring outside the house.

Xu Man sat opposite the alcoholic table.

Neither of them said a word.

Jiang Qingyi suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Xu Man, I don't care who you order, if you dare to act recklessly before I come back, there will be no room for you in Xiguan."

With a gloomy complexion, Jiang Qingyi lifted the curtain and left, got on his horse, and went to Misty Slope. This is because he is no longer thinking about the drinking of the white-robed feudal lord, but wants to have a talk with that Yuan Sizhi himself. talk.

When leaving the town, the fast horse shook the snow and dust, and he rode the dust.

Jiang Qingyi didn't see the two visitors from outside the town.

People came in one after another in the tavern.

Xu Man suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart, narrowed his eyes, but there was no entanglement in his heart.

Jiang Qingyi suppressed himself by several ranks in terms of official rank, but it's a pity that the commander-in-chief who was called a barbarian never cared about such soft threats from scholars.

Mr. Jiang is an adult, but it is a pity that the biggest adult in Xiguan is Mr. Yuan.

He can take care of the present, but not the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Manzi is such a person.

So he was ordered by Xiguan leader Yuan Zhongcheng.

The sixth-rank commander is waiting for an opportunity.

His eyes were fixed on the scruffy, lean alcoholic, a man with a haggard, unshaven, greasy face, but his eyes were shining and fixed in one direction.

This direction is the direction outside the house.

It is also the direction outside the town.

Wuwu Town.

There are many small towns like Wuwu Town in Xiguan. The taverns in the town are full of people, and there are very few old faces. The military masters who change the city to patrol and rest here, or the prodigal sons of Xiguan will all be in this cheap tavern. Rest in the tavern.

The drunkard's eyes were fixed on the outside of the town.

Then move slowly.

Finally moved to the door of the tavern.

Then the drunk narrowed his eyes.

A hand wrapped tightly in a black robe raised the thick curtain of the tavern, and the drunkard's gaze remained on the owner of this hand.

It was a young man in a coir raincoat with snow stains on it, and a protective black robe under the coir raincoat.

Beside him is the same slender, elegant man in a coir raincoat. The eyes of the two are silent and introverted, and they are wearing a coir raincoat and hat, which are standard equipment for traveling in the rivers and lakes while hiding in the snow in Xiguan.

Two out-and-out quacks.

After sitting down, there was no more sound.

The drunkard closed his eyes, looking thoughtful.

Suddenly, Xu Man's buzzing sound sounded like thunder.

"Ram goods, I invite you to drink today!"

The sixth-rank commander stared at the lean alcoholic with his eyes closed, and saw the latter frowning slightly, leaning back slightly, and said softly, "I won't drink today."

Xu Man smiled, raised his hands and pressed down.

A long knife and a long sword were pressed on the table at the same time.

Xu Man thought of what Master Yuan Zhongcheng said to him before.

anger him.

Even if this alcoholic was knocked to the ground and his spine was broken, he never got angry at all.Even if he used the most vicious and dirty words to insult him, to insult him, there was never even half a cent of anger.

Xu Man couldn't think of a better way.

He didn't know why Mr. Yuan insisted on getting along with an uncultivated alcoholic.

He didn't know why Master Yuan told him to wait until the drunkard closed his eyes before making a move.

He just uttered the lines Master Yuan gave him.

"I know where your sword is."

Xu Man paused every word, and his voice was extremely clear.

"If you don't make a move today, I'll smash that sword into pieces."

The voice fell.

The drunkard suddenly opened his eyes.

The thick mud wall in the tavern was more than three feet thick, and swords and swords were pierced through, and the swords hummed endlessly.

Then with a bang, the courtyard wall was pushed away, and a figure flew out.

Half of the tavern was removed by a sword.

One knife and one sword turned into silver light and danced, chasing each other in the air, and finally returned to the drunkard at an extremely fast speed.

Everyone in the tavern was dumbfounded.

Xu Man, who was thrown into the air, was pale, but he still had the strength to sit up. His spine was piercingly painful, and he did not know how many bones were broken.

The alcoholic said calmly: "You bought me a drink and broke four of my vertebrae. Today I will break four of yours and give you back a drink. We will cancel it all."

Xu Man's face was pale, watching the drunkard flick his sleeves lightly, a sword aura erupted in the half-emptied tavern, a wine jar with two people hugging each other flew out of thin air, and it was about to hit his chest like a bell, hovering in an instant .

Unsurprisingly.

The drunkard lowered his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Go away now, remember to send Yuan Sizhi a word, it doesn't matter if my sword is broken or not, if Jiang Qingyi suffers the slightest grievance on Misty Slope, today I will raise my sword and stand up!" , there is absolutely no one in Xiguan to stop."

The commander of the sixth rank had no time to kowtow, and was so frightened by this real master of swordsmanship that he got on his horse in a hurry, and yelled at the horse to rush towards Misty Slope with a crying voice.

The drunkard calmly took a sip of wine.

The tavern was almost empty at this moment, and the people in the whole town were frightened by this appalling scene and fled in a panic.

Half of the tavern was opened by the sword energy. At this moment, the courtyard wall was shattered, and countless gravels were still suspended in the air, maintaining high-frequency vibrations.

This is an extremely powerful control.

Domain meaning.

Very strong sense of domain.

"We met once."

The drunkard looked complicated, looked at the only table left, and said softly: "In Fengting City."

The man in the straw hat and black robe at that table nodded and said calmly, "I remember you."

His Highness slightly raised his hand, took off the hat, and said calmly: "Your cultivation is much stronger than before."

The drunkard was silent.

Yi Xiao pressed the hat on the table and raised her eyebrows: "Although you were rank nine at the time, you really didn't rank high in the sword reception."

The drunkard laughed at himself, and said, "It shouldn't be ranked now."

Yi Xiao smiled and asked, "Why are you so down?"

The drunkard said calmly: "Be born by the sword, die by the sword."

"Losing to Jian Zongming is not a shameful thing."

Yi Xiao didn't stand up, sensing the increasing pressure around her, she still calmly said: "Anyone who meets him is a typo."

The haggard drunkard shook his head with a smile, and whispered the word "get up".

The remaining half of the tavern rose from the ground, and was crushed by a huge force into countless fine stone chips, which were swirling around one person as the center.

What kind of arrogant and domineering sword domain is this?
Yi Xiao asked himself, even if his Slaughtering Sword Domain has been cultivated to a great extent, it may not be possible to have such a terrifying scene.

There was the sound of wine vats exploding in the tornado of crushed stones, and the air of swords danced wildly with the air of wine.

The drunkard's eyes became clearer.

His messy hair and beard were all blown up by the sword energy.

It was a young and thin face.

Once high-spirited, he stopped Jian Zongming in Fengting City.

No one could have imagined that he has become like this now.

The drunkard murmured softly: "A cloud of mist and rain will be your life, and there will be neither wind nor rain."

Instantly, the sound of the sword screaming loudly
A knife and a sword around him turned into silver light and shot up from the ground, and the light and shadow disappeared for an instant, and then the sword energy filled the sky exploded, turning into misty rain and covering it!
