The wolf star is southeast of the East Well. The wolf is a wild general, and the lord invades

In the late spring and March of the tenth year of the Yantang Shenlong, the Far East of the empire was still freezing and icy.

Located at the confluence of the Utuli River and the Black Water River, the two rivers are still in the frozen period, and the harsh sunlight on the blue ice makes people squint. The snow on the large flat ground outside the city has not yet melted, but it has been more than half a month since the last snowfall, and humans and birds and beasts have made several gray-black roads, extending towards the gray Qinghei Mountain and Wanda Mountain in the distance, the largest of which is the official road leading to the Black Blind Island in the northwest.

Black Blind Island is a small island at the confluence of two rivers, the boats of the flowing period and the sleigh of the ice period are unloaded at the shore wharf here, the locals and travelers who rely on the wharf to make a living gather into a small town here, saying that the town is actually only about twenty or thirty shops and hostels, the wharf and the Black Blind Island are separated by the Utuli River, there are also about twenty zhang wide, but it is also called the Black Blind Wharf, the Black Blind Town.

Leaning against the wharf is the largest wine shop in the town, made of rammed earth and logs, no carved railings, only the roughness peculiar to the Far East, and the cornices carry a four-sided wine flag with red letters and black borders on a white background. The snow around the town and the liquor store has been cleared, the ground has dried up after a few days of sun, and there are more than a dozen idlers in dogskin jackets sitting lazily lying or squatting in the sun on the wall facing the river, and the sun is past noon, and some moving black spots can be faintly seen on the river surface, which is the figure of a dog sled, and a few sharp-eyed idlers stand up and look at it and sit down again, it is a one-legged businessman, and they don't need their help.

Only two of the six doors facing the street were opened, and the inside was steaming, and several tables of guests were drunk. These guests included merchants who came and went, local merchants who came out of the city to pick up goods, and a few tables of rough men with swords and arrows on their backs.

At this time, the thick cloth curtain in the backyard was lifted, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old Lang Jun strode out, this person was quite tall, with a thick brocade robe with a fur placket, a thirteen-ring gold and jade belt around his waist, wearing a white fox hat inlaid with jade and black silk, thick eyebrows and square face, the most attractive thing was the pair of Danfeng eyes, black eyes, a pair of white kernels like stars inlaid with them, people couldn't help but be attracted, this person was very gentle at this time, full of smiles, standing in the center of the store leaning on the palm counter facing the full house of guests with his arms raised and made a circle, A few tables of guests hurriedly got up and clasped their fists in return.

"Ladies forgive me, a certain is Zheng Ji Leather Goods Shop buddy Wu Yingyan, now because of the reception of distinguished guests here, chartered a wine shop here, all of you are finished, please take care of yourself, disturb all of you, forgive the sin." Xiao Langjun said with a smile, and the store suddenly fell silent, but no one spoke for a while.

"You have paid for today's wine, please make it convenient, I hope you will forgive me" The young leather dealer then released the conditions.

"Where, where, Wu Dalang is entertaining distinguished guests today, and it should be convenient," several local businessmen who knew this person hurriedly agreed.

A few foreign businessmen were silent, but a few tables of rough men with swords stood up in an uproar, and a young man at a table was about to make sarcastic remarks, but was pulled by the elders at the same table, "That's Black Water Hawkeye Xiao Wu." ”。 The young man was still indignant, but the old man whispered, "That Zheng Ji is the No. 1 leather goods store in the Far East." ”

A few foreign businessmen also pressed their mood when they heard this, and only a few men began to scold, "Where did you get the wild goods, bully someone and have no money"

"Give each table a jar of sake," Xiao Wu still smiled, turned back to the tea doctor on the counter and said, "Everyone, it's really bothering, forgive me."

As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling face of the person, as soon as this word came out, the standing man was embarrassed to shout anymore, and there was a table with a wolfskin jacket on the face of the bearded man who also looked at it and sat down. Dr. Tea brought the wine from table to table, returned to the counter and pouted and whispered: "Wu Langjun, if you want me to say just coax it away, it's a waste of good wine!" ”

"It's okay, make money with harmony, and you will be indispensable for working hard."

After a while, the guests who had finished eating at several tables said goodbye, "Wu Langjun, there is a good business to take care of."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say" Xiao Wu responded indiscriminately, and in the end, only the pile of old wolf skins remained.

Xiao Wu looked at the sky outside the door, and walked to the table with a smile, "Everyone, there are many troubles today, see the sin." ”

"What's the matter, a jar of wine sent me away?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are really distinguished guests coming, and there are many offenses"

"Give you another seven or eight altars, and yes yes will go"

"Everyone, this is not a face" Xiao Wu's smiling face gradually disappeared, and Danfeng's eyes narrowed into a slit.

"Who gave you this wild face" One man slapped him, and two grabbed the handle of the saber at his waist.

Xiao Wu snorted coldly, dodged the slap sideways, and took advantage of the situation to support the man's arm with one hand and lightly took it, and the man staggered to the ground when he stood unsteadily.

The two men of the "good thief" drew their sabers and slashed over, and the remaining two men also rushed up immediately, and their big fists also smashed over.

"Puff puff puff" didn't see how Xiao Wu moved, flashed the blade and grabbed the collar of the man in front of him with one hand like lightning, "Go," the man was like a paper kite and smashed over the two tables and smashed out of the store.

As concocted, in three rounds, I saw that the remaining three men all flew to the hard ground outside the store. The two men had already fainted, and the rest of them who had not fainted looked at the blue sky blankly.

The man who had fallen down in the store was about to stand up, and Xiao Wu went up and kicked him back into a flying kite and lined up with his partner.

"Doctor, please clean up the house" Xiao Wu also paced out of the wine shop.

There is no wind in the town now, although there is a sun, it is also cold, a few pedestrians are in a hurry, and after a few glances at these unlucky ghosts, they will bury their heads in walking, and the idlers basking in the sun in the corner will also giggle and laugh around when they see that there is liveliness.

At this time, there was the sound of horses' hooves on the road from the direction of Bolizhou City, a dark cloud of horses rushed into the town, the town avenue can accommodate eight horses galloping vertically and horizontally, this team of people and horses rushed to the front of the wine shop in a moment, Xiao Wu knew at a glance that this was a team of black water governor's teeth, black helmet, black armor and black horse, the armor was iron chain mail, only the inner jacket was the red of the Yantang Empire, the horse was a majestic black water horse, a horse lance in each hand, a horizontal knife with a belt, a crossbow with sixty-five crossbow belts behind the back, a round shield hung on the side of the horse, and a leopard flag in the official palm of the flag, The first general in front of him was wearing Mingguang armor, and it was Li Ge and Li Xiancheng, the governor of the Heishui Governor's Mansion.

A team of five fires and fifty tooth soldiers, plus the flag officer Li Hu'er, the governor Li Xiancheng, and the governor's mansion Sima Zhao Shu Zhao Tiancheng more than 50 people turned over and dismounted in front of the wine shop, Li Dudu threw the reins of the horse to the flag officer Li Hu'er, and pointed to the five lying men and drank to Xiao Wu, "What a martial artist, and he is bullying idlers again." ”

"I've seen Li Dudu, how can Xiao Wu bully people, it's these men who know things, and when I see Du Du fall down and salute" Xiao Wu was not afraid, and replied with a smile.

"Throw them aside," Li Dudu, who was in charge of the black water, didn't mind, and casually instructed the soldiers behind him, and walked straight into the store with Zhao Sima.

"You Xiao Wu, there will be a distinguished guest from Kyoto soon, why are you so reckless at this time?" Zhao Sima, who was born in the first place, also black-faced and reprimanded when he passed by Xiao Wu's side.

"Come on, those beards don't know him, Hawkeye Wu Langjun, these beards are slashed one by one, it's a matter of urgency to serve a certain class of wine" Li Dudu shouted and drank inside.

Xiao Wu ignored it, arranged for the doctor to take the tooth soldiers to tie the horse, and called a few idlers to throw the five unlucky people lying down into the wilderness outside the town. When he returned to the store, Li Dudu and Zhao Sima were already drunk, and quickly arranged for the doctor in the store to bring food and drink to the soldiers outside, each of whom had a hot noodle soup and three mutton cakes.

"Xiao Wu, you can also come and sit, the convoy of your leather goods store will not arrive until a while" Zhao Sima greeted Xiao Wudao.

Xiao Wu hurriedly sat sideways at the table, looking aggrieved.

"Okay, you Xiao Wu also know how to be polite? Sit up straight and speak. The arrogant Li Dudu put down the wine bowl and ordered.

Xiao Wu hurriedly sat upright, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Why bother Governor Li to come in person?" ”

"What do you say?" Li Dudu snorted in his nose, "This wine is too ordinary, let's have something strong." ”

"Take the burning knife I brought with you two jars" No way, Xiao Wu Langjun hurriedly ordered the doctor to go to the backyard to get wine.

"Xiao Wu came over in the morning? How's it arranged? This time, a big man is here! Don't be sloppy! Zhao Sima said unhurriedly beside him.

"Hehe, the letter from Longquan Mansion arrived three days ago, the big shopkeeper of the bank and the nobles of Kyoto are walking, how many people have explained clearly, they have already been prepared, this is not even the lacquered wooden toilet brought out of the city" Pony also replied with a hippie smile.

"Don't be sloppy, it's a noble person from Kyoto who is here this time, we have to be careful," the black-faced and bearded Li Dudu ordered uncharacteristically solemnly.

"Okay, doctor, immediately find someone to clean up the inside and outside of the store again, and change the broken wine trick with a new one, and clean it again on the road" Xiao Wu hurriedly called the doctor to arrange.

"I asked Li Hu'er to call the town stewards and let them move too" Zhao Sima also helped arrange personnel.

After some explanation, the leather goods convoy in the city also arrived, but it was a few ebony two-horse carriages and a dozen empty carriages, forty or fifty accompanying men were also green silk robes, and more than a dozen empty horses, a water Goryeo horse.

"Heh, you guys have taken out all the goods," Li Dudu couldn't help but tease when he saw it.

"Where, where, look like goods" Xiao Wu looked smug.

Not to mention the scene of chickens and dogs jumping in the town, a sentry who was placed by the river also reported that the guests were ten miles away.

"We have to go out early to have a look, and we can't let the nobles feel sluggish." Zhao Sima finished drinking the wine in the bowl and was about to get up.

"It's early, what's the hurry?" Li Dudu looked impatient, and poured himself wine: "Xiao Wu, did you only return to Boli from Temple Street in February?" ”

"Exactly. This is not just a dozen days after coming back. ”

"What do you think about this?" Li Dudu then asked.

"I attach great importance to it, and I will start preparing after the year, this time the Wanshang Trade Fair and the Spring God Festival will be held together, and most of the thirteen departments of the Far East have rushed to Temple Street, and it is now lively and ruthless" Xiao Wu replied unhurriedly after taking a sip of wine.

"It's not about the Ten Thousand Chamber of Commerce, it's about the arrival of the nobles this time!" Zhao Sima sat down again and poured himself wine, but Li Dudu put down the bowl and looked at Ding Xiaowu with a sneer.

"I haven't heard any news about this, but we must only do business with them through our leather goods store."

"Editor, then editor" Li Dudu was very dissatisfied, "You Xiaowu is just doing business with the wolves on Temple Street?" ”

"We're really doing business," Xiao Wu looked innocent, "Isn't Temple Street a place of restraint for Blackwater?" It's also under your rule, and you can see them whatever you want. ”

"Okay, Xiao Wu, don't think that you don't take our Heishui Governor's Mansion seriously if you rely on Zheng Ji, don't think we don't know what you have done in the past few years?" This time, even Zhao Sima blackened his face.

"Others don't know about your relationship with the Temple Street Wolves, I know! Three years ago, Hailan Pao, the last batch of grain and grass was sent in by your Eagle Eye Xiaowu, saying that you were their savior, and they would not deny it. "The Yantang Empire, the general of Mingwei and Li Dadu, who was in charge of the military and political power of the Heishui Governor's Mansion, uncharacteristically pretended to be red-faced: "With your ability, I can give you a Guoyi Commander to do it now, how about it?" But you've got to tell me the truth."

"You think too much of me, I'm just a little guy" Xiao Wu began to have a bitter face, took a sip of wine, and said slowly, "Are you talking about the noble person who came this time?" I wondered, our Andong Protectorate is not in a hurry, why are they in such a hurry in the imperial capital? ”

"Yes, didn't Dadu Hu plan three years ago to prepare for war for three years and two years, and start a war with the Far East of the Turkic Khanate within five years, and strive to take Mohe in one fell swoop? Kyoto sent an envoy this time to urge us to do it earlier, right? Zhao Sima said faintly.

Li Dudu glanced at his own lifter Sima and remained silent. Xiao Wu didn't think so.

"Tell me what's going on on Temple Street?" Li Dudu spat on wine and said to Xiao Wu.

"You also know that Dugu Gong, the Duke of Liaoguo, attaches great importance to Temple Street, and has inspected three times in three years" Maybe because of a little wine, Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, "This five-year strategy wolf group is also very much in favor of it"

"The people of Andong Duhufu know that the demon wolf Tianxing in Temple Street is the godson of Dadu Hu, and this five-year strategy is the idea given by the wolf group," Li Dudu waved his hand and said with a sour breath, "Dadu escorts Temple Street for ten days at a time, but I can't even stay overnight in Heishui Boli." ”

"There was a rumor about the arrival of the nobles last year, but the noise over there was a lot of shouting on the side of the pine desert, and the temple street won't be unresponsive, right?" Zhao Sima asked the center of gravity this time. "Tell me what's new over there?"

"The New Year of the war mad captain was spent in the palace of the Emperor of the Emperor's Mansion, slept with a few palace maids, came back and was whipped a hundred times by the boss of the Heavenly Star, and it was the biggest novelty to go around the city for three times in winter," Xiao Wu said with a smile.

"What else?" Li Dudu also thought about that picture, and couldn't help but sneer.

"And? The Yaksha country also sent an envoy this time, and it was the elders of the largest tribe who came,"

Xiao Wu paused and looked at the store, there were only the three of them, and everyone else was busy outside. "There is a prince from the Wandering Ghost Country," Xiao Wu was silent and said, "Take five thousand mercenary groups"

"Snort" This time Zhao Sima took a breath, Li Dudu also paused the wine bowl, looked up at the roof, didn't know what to think, and after a while, "Let's go out and spit out the wine, don't let people think that we Heishui people are all drunkards." ”
