After the New Year's pass, after a short pause, I arrived at Shangyuan.

There were a few palm-sized wine jars hanging on the horse, Su Yu rode on the horse, and as soon as he walked to the bumpy and rugged place, the wine jars were like a string of muffled bells, striking each other and ringing a few times.

In Xiao Yat's words, when an apprentice gets married and takes the bride to meet the master, gifts are indispensable.

Su Yu bowed her head and said nothing, it doesn't matter if she is a bride or an old wife, as long as Xiao Yiken takes her there, she can be anyone.

Along the way, Su Yu kept listening to a topic that the common people talked about a few days ago, saying that when the emperor's condition was aggravated and he was about to die, someone in the court recommended a god who could break yin and yang and cure evil diseases.

Eager to survive, the dead horse is regarded as a live horse doctor, the emperor immediately recruited the god man to diagnose and treat his condition, or maybe the god man does have some ability, after a few days of conditioning, the emperor's illness has really improved a little.

Later, the man of God asserted that when the emperor had been ill for a long time, it would be a lie to say that he would be cured immediately, but if he wanted to gradually improve, he needed to use the water from a spring on the mountainside of Lingquan Mountain as a medicine guide, and then mix it with various rare medicinal materials, so that he could get better day by day.

So, the emperor thought of sending someone to fetch water, but it was also "coincidental", this Lingquan Mountain is located in the territory of the state, and in the state, the boundary of the county.

When the emperor heard this, he recalled that there seemed to be a rebellion in Nading County, and the little overlord Xiao Yi went for a long time, but he failed to take down the anti-thief, and just wanted to mobilize most of the people to go to kill him, Ma Sui, the leader of the anti-thieves in Nading County, heard about it, and personally brought several large altars of spring water and a piece of paper to the emperor.

It is said that the book not only showed the determination of Ma Sui and others to surrender, but also shed tears, listing the various crimes of the previous Nading County Commander who oppressed the people and exterminated humanity, and they had no choice but to kill the county Order, and they were afraid that the death penalty would be difficult to escape, so they had no choice but to be a thief, but from the heart, they were fundamentally loyal to Daliang and the emperor.

At this time, Xiao Yi, who was in charge of counterinsurgency, also wrote a letter and sent it to Beijing, explaining the current situation in Dingxian County and the joy of the people after knowing about the surrender.

Today's emperor has his own thoughts, and he was able to ascend the throne as emperor after his brother's death and appease the hundreds of officials in the court.

Throughout the ages, all the wiser emperors are willing to win the hearts of the people, the emperor looked at the guilt of the Dingxian county order handed over by Ma Sui, and it is indeed not a pity to die with conclusive evidence, and then look at the Ma Sui Yong is greater than the strategy, and now the emperor does not need to surrender sincerely, he is also willing to be a favor, showing that he is magnanimous and magnanimous.

As a result, Ma Sui was only dragged out of the hall and fined him dozens of military sticks, which seemed to be a blur of flesh and blood, but it also saved his life and sent him back to Dingxian.

As for the people who revolted, perhaps it was the original county order that harmed the people too badly, so that Ma Sui and others won the hearts of the people, if they were disposed of at this time, and I was afraid that the local people would be unstable, the emperor was a patient person, he had always acted and liked to figure it slowly, and he only stayed for a few days, after the people's hearts calmed down, then Ma Sui and others could make plans again.

Therefore, the matter of the Dingxian uprising is over for the time being, and Xiao Yi has changed from the chief general of the first army to an idle gentleman in the capital, drinking and singing all day long, and putting his mind on beauty.

Of course, Su Yu knew that this "beauty" was her, and when she heard others praise herself like this, she couldn't help but be proud for a moment.

In the eyes of others, Xiao Yi's suppression of the rebellion can be regarded as a bamboo basket to draw water, and he has worked in vain, only Su Yu knows that Xiao Yi has already rooted his foundation in Bingzhou, not to mention the few generals who have been staying in Bingzhou, who have been beside Xiao Yi, Shan Naqiao Qi, Li Liang and others, are also convinced by Xiao Yi after getting along.

Yan Qi, the lord of Nahe Prefecture, is incompetent, and spends the foundation laid by his father on weekdays, taking pleasure in greedy wine and meat, and the people around him are also full of characters who are sloppy and slapping horses, and the military discipline in the army is scattered, and the management of several surrounding counties is very lax, so that the previous county order of Nading County acted recklessly and forced Ma Sui and others to rebel.

But Xiao Yi is different, Su Yuming saw that the generals Xiao Yi had led, although they were informal, had different personalities, but they had strict military discipline and made good use of good talents, so soon after Xiao Yi arrived in Bingzhou, he found generals like Qiao Qi and Li Liang, so in the name of the little overlord's unreasonableness, he punished a lot of moths who were eating and waiting for death, or relying on their relationships to get to the top, and the people who were rectified compared with the strength relationship, they could only swallow their anger and secretly complain.

Of course, among them, there are some people who are dissatisfied with the intention of murder, but look at the few around Xiao Yi, and then look at Xiao Yi himself, the killer has been scared to pee his pants before he does it, and later, some people hit Su Yu, a "weak" woman, but they never thought that it would be better to tie Qiao Qi's bearded man!

After the New Year, although the weather was cold, the sun was indeed much brighter, Su Yu walked, looked at Xiao Yi sideways from time to time, and found that the guy had always been leisurely and calm, so he also closed his mouth, was silent, and made a profound appearance.

A moment passed.

Xiao Yi turned his head to look at the sun shining on Su Yu's body, shining a warm halo on her face, her eyes were deep, and she was a little drunk in it, so she said: "You save some effort to make a carriage, but now you have to ride a horse, and if you can't wait for summer, I'm afraid that it will already be tanned." ”

Su Yu didn't care, "I was born white, and I'm not afraid of black." ”

Xiao Yi said: "I don't dislike being darker, just be happy." ”

When Su Yu heard it, what does the black and white of his heart have to do with you, but he inexplicably felt that when he heard these words in his ears, it was like honey, and there was a little sweetness.

A few days ago, Xiao Yi responded to Su Yu's request, and began to speculate about the whereabouts of the sword god Moli.

According to Xiao Yi's reasoning, now the weather is cold, it should be the time to drink spirits, the climate in the south of the beam is warmer, mostly water towns, the wine brewed has a local tenderness, and the north of the beam is adjacent to Beidi, the Beidi people mostly live on grazing, the character is rough, and the wine is also warm and extraordinary, according to the geography, the process of making wine, the more south the softer, suitable for the hot summer, the more strong the north, suitable for the cold winter wax moon, and located in the Liangcheng at the junction of the beam and the Beidi, that is, retains the softness of the beam, It is also contaminated with a lot of Beidi's heroic and spicy, and it is definitely a good place to drink at this time.

Although Su Yu also has the problem of greedy cups, he has never put so much effort into drinking, and when he heard Xiao Yi say this, he was also a little impatient, and wanted to quickly find the sword god Moli, and by the way, he tasted the wine of the border pass.

While talking and laughing and arguing, the two soon arrived at the boundary of Liangcheng, found an inn to rest for a while, and after dinner, Xiao Yicai took Su Yu to ask around, which shop in this city has the best wine.

This question really came up with such a place, nine out of ten people in Liangcheng, and told Xiao Yi and Su Yu that on the street in the west of the city, there is a wine-making shop, and the craftsmanship of wine-making is handed down by the ancestors.

Su Yu and Xiao Yi listened to the introduction, and went to find the shop where the wine was made.

When he arrived at the place, Su Yu felt that he really responded to the sentence "The fragrance of wine is not afraid of the deep alley", and turned around in a small alley, only to see that there was a small shop, the shop was simple and dilapidated, it seemed that it had not been renovated for many years, and the two door panels were crooked, as if a gust of wind could blow it down.

On the crooked door panel, there was also a wooden sign, the iron nails were repaired, and it was vaguely recognized that it was originally painted with the word "wine", and after a gust of wind, the wooden brand squeaked and squeaked twice, so that Xiao Yi subconsciously protected the top of Su Yu's head with his hand, and then stepped into the house.

When I entered, a child of seven or eight years old was wearing a blue coarse cotton jacket, crawling inside the counter and snoring, and when he heard someone coming in, he raised his eyes and looked, and then climbed there to sleep, yawning and saying, "Today's drink is gone, let's go another day." ”

Xiao Yi went over, took out a few taels of silver from his sleeve and put them on the counter, and asked the little boy, "Is Li Mo here?" ”

The little boy didn't want to take care of it, but when he saw the silver, he hurriedly put it away and put it in the drawer, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile on his face, and pointed to the courtyard behind him and said, "He's inside, I'll help you call him." ”

"No, you don't." Xiao Yi walked to the backyard, "Let's find it ourselves." ”

Su Yu followed Xiao Yi closely, and the two of them walked through a doorway built of earthen walls, and in the courtyard full of large vats, they saw an old man with a white beard who was holding an axe to chop wood. Su Yu looked at it, in fact, he said that he was an old man, and he didn't necessarily know how old he was, but he could still vaguely see the sword eyebrows of his youth, but now the folds in the corners of his eyes were piled up a few inches deep, his clothes were tattered and unkempt, his hands were full of calluses, and there were a few shallow cracks.

Walking over with Xiao Yi, Su Yu bent down, hugged his fists and saluted the old man.

"The junior Su Yu has seen the stranger from the senior."

Xiao Yi also spoke on the side, and called coldly, "Master." ”

The old man chopping wood looked at Xiao Yi for a moment with a straight face, then turned his head to look at Su Yu, and asked, "Girl, Xiao Xiaozi didn't open his mouth, how did you know that I was his master?" ”

After that, the old man suddenly realized: "But he told you what my master looks like? ”

Su Yu shook his head, "No." ”

"Why is that?"

Su Yu glanced at Xiao Yi, and saw that the guy seemed to have a smug expression, for some reason, he simply said truthfully: When I entered the door, I saw the firewood you chopped on the ground, and an axe was formed at the fracture, which was neat, and then looked at your posture of chopping wood, and the axe fell in your hand, even if you didn't see it, you were still at ease, it can be seen that you have your own skills, although your two hands are full of calluses, but most ordinary people have more right hands and thicker cocoons, but your two hands are much more than ordinary people, it can be seen that you use a double blade, and you have a few times to chop down, The breath around the body is still stable and orderly, and there is no panting, indicating that there is a certain foundation of internal strength, and ......"

Su Yu said, glancing at Xiao Yi, "As soon as he entered the door, he set his eyes on you and never looked away, the person who can get the attention of our General Xiao must not be a mortal." ”
