Extra: The fairy wind on the lake (medium)
The next day, it was business as usual at the Tavern under the Moon. But there is one more runner.
"Who is that man?"
"I don't know, I've been there since this morning. And he is also an imperial sentinel, and I don't know how this shopkeeper recruited people from the empire. ā
"Hey, little brother. How much does this shopkeeper pay you a month?" a thief-eyed businessman stepped forward.
"I like to drink, and only this one is good. That's why I'm staying here. ā
"Don't the sentinels need to be on duty?"
"Oh, I'm related. ā
"This..."
"Okay, don't get in the way of my work, I won't go if I'm going to poach someone. Xianfeng said with a smile as he drank his wine.
"Okay, then I'll go first. With that, the merchant walked out of the tavern with a cigar in his mouth.
At this time, Xiao Lizi walked over. Said to the fairy wind: "Hey, who is that person?"
"Dig people, tell the boss. I want a raise. ā
"Don't think about it, I've been in this shop for five years. There has never been a wage increase. ā
"Little Lizi, come and work. The shopkeeper shouted not far away.
"Hey, good boss. ā
At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps from upstairs.
"It's the goddess, is the goddess going out today? ā
The brawny men who were the first to hear the sound suddenly got up together and looked towards the staircase.
Immediately after, in the entire hall on the first floor, all the diners stood up. These guys are mostly young suitors.
A long pink dress with hair hanging on both shoulders. The woman walked downstairs with a hint of sleepiness.
"Morning, everyone~" She tilted her head and smiled, a thin strand of hair running through the bottom of her eyebrows and wrapped behind her ears. The pure and white appearance gives people an urge to want protection.
Xianfeng sat in his seat, holding his head and still drinking.
"Why haven't you left yet?" the voice echoed in the hall, and everyone focused their eyes on the fairy wind, and the woman strode towards the fairy wind.
Everyone's thoughts began to stir up, and the goddess went in the direction of the boy, who was he, and why was he favored by the goddess? I will slaughter him, and I will not look at my goddess, and I will not look up at my goddess.
"Me, are you talking to me?"
"Isn't there anyone else who you are? Didn't you have to leave yesterday?"
"Oh, I'm going to attend that civil and military conference, so I'll tell you about it in advance. Xianfeng said leisurely while drinking wine.
"What did you say?" the wine fairy's face changed.
"Oh, I said I'm going to too..."
"Bang!" Fairy Wind had just said something halfway through when a cold light flashed, and a thin sword split the table in half in an instant.
The many suitors around all took a few steps back without exception, and Xianfeng sat where he was and smiled, and then propped up his head to look at the angry wine fairy: "It's so cute to be angry, which strengthens my determination even more." ā
"You... Not allowed!"
"Why? Isn't it open to anyone?"
"There's no way you can't do it without teaching you a lesson!" As he spoke, the thin sword instantly slashed towards the fairy wind's neck.
The fairy wind index finger gently blocked the blade of the sword, and the invisible wind pressure covered the index finger. If you don't look closely. It's almost hard to see.
The rapier stopped in front of the index finger, and the wine fairy gritted her teeth and kept exerting her strength. But the rapier could not advance even a fraction of it.
"Goddess, aren't you willing to kill him?"
"A goddess can't kill anyone, no matter how hateful this person is, she can't bear to hurt him. The people around him began to sigh.
A child also said: "Sister Wine Fairy, you are so kind." ā
"Huh!" the rapier instantly retracted, and stopped in a thin line on the ground.
"I'll spare you today, if you insist on participating in the martial arts meeting. I will defeat you, for only those who overcome me are worthy to marry me. After speaking, she took the mask handed by Xiao Lizi and walked out of the tavern slowly.
Looking at the back of the wine fairy in the distance, the fairy wind looked confused. What the boss said last night seemed to be a test to stay, how did it become: "Marry... Marry marry... Whom to marry?"
"You kid is still here pretending to be stunned, believe it or not, our muscle-rippers crush you. ā
"I actually my most beloved goddess, I really want to beat you up. ā
"Sister Fairy is angry, it's all your responsibility. "The kid before was mixed in and was bold.
Xianfeng stood up leisurely with the table, with an evil smile on the corner of his mouth: "Little ghost, how old are you." Do you know what liking is?"
"I... I, I, Iā" The child's face flushed, and then he looked at him blankly.
"Alright, you guys. Why hang yourself from a tree, what is that bad woman like?" said Xianfeng disdainfully.
"How dare you say that about our goddess, slaughtered him. ā
"This kid is so arrogant, I have to teach him a lesson today. ā
...
"Wait!" the shopkeeper's voice suddenly came.
"Are you going to tear down my shop? This kid is an employee of our store, and he wants to play as much as he wants to fight and play, and now whoever of you touches him here will disqualify him. ā
The people who were unable to pass through the fairy wind slowly dispersed, scolding and scolding, and fantasizing about the favor of the goddess with anticipation: "Hmph, if it weren't for my father's words." You're going to have to die here today. ā
For a time, the shopkeeper had dozens of more sons...
When everyone returned to their original positions, Xianfeng suddenly stood up. Then he walked towards the outside of the tavern.
"That's... I'll go out for a bit. ā
"What are you doing out there, Sentinel?" the boss asked worriedly.
"Of course it's looking for that bad woman, what's the matter with marrying or not?" asked Xianfeng, turning his head.
"Ahh I don't know, haha, haha. ā
...
Xianfeng got up and staggered towards the door, the streets of Gufeng Town were still so lively, all kinds of people were flowing, noisy, and prosperous.
At that time, the ancient town was really beautiful. People have things to do, and they all have time to spare. No one will tell you to do anything meaningless, and life is in everyone's own hands.
"My lord, there is something. I would like to ask. "It's the merchant from before again, and the reappearance can't help but cause the fairy wind to be bored.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm a merchant from the eastern part of the continent, and I've heard that adults like beauties, are you interested in seeing our sincerity?"
"Don't bother me, make me angry. You know the consequences!" Fairy Wind pushed the merchant away and walked towards the end of the street.
"Hmph, let's see!" the merchant muttered quietly, looking at the back of the fairy wind with a hint of undetectable fierceness.
Xianfeng walked all the way to the end of the street and stopped at an intersection: "This seems to be the place before, and that bad woman doesn't know what to do?" ā
"Feng'er, take me to find that bad woman. After saying that, the invisible thoughts were instantly released. The slight movement of the wind was firmly grasped in the perception of the fairy wind, and in a few seconds, the thoughts and qi dispersed to every corner of the ancient wind town.
"It seems that she is in trouble. The fairy wind turned and ran towards the road from which he came, and the help of the wind under his feet made his speed increase dramatically.
At this time, in a narrow alley. The wine fairy walked with a gourd in her hand.
Suddenly, a group of people flashed in front of them, each wearing a pitch-black robe. The pattern on the collar looks like two giant dragons. The leader was a businessman who looked familiar.
"Who are you?"
"Come with us, little girl. The merchant said indifferently.
"What if I don't?" the sword unsheathed, slicing a silver glint through the air.
"You can't help this!" the merchant shouted, and one of the black-robed people around him rushed out.
None of these black-robed men were unarmed, but each of them was able to unleash powerful mental energy. Each of them has a special ability, and it seems that they are all capable people.
But isn't there any fear at all for such an organization of capable people to commit crimes under the feet of the Cloud Nightmare Country, or do they have some kind of way of hiding their aura?
"Bang!"
"Ping Pong!"
The black-robed man who was the first to rush down seemed to be using his fist with every blow, but in fact he was able to deal more than a dozen meters of splash damage, and my rapier always collided with some kind of invisible sword. It seems that this is the man's ability.
"Don't run, little girl. "The invisible sword slashed madly towards the wine fairy, and only the invisible is the most terrifying.
"Poof!"
"Ahh
Seeing this, the wine fairy retreated sharply and distanced himself from the man. She clutched the scar on her shoulder with one hand and held her sword profusely in sweat.
"There has never been such a strong enemy in Ancient Wind Town, what the hell are these guys coming from. I'm struggling to be alone, and if they were together, I am afraid there would be no chance of escape. ā
"Fighting, there is not so much time for you to think about it!" The black-robed man instantly flew towards the wine fairy, and the thoughts in his body instantly soared!
She stood up, the rapier in her hand, and the hilt of the sword was clenched from the loss of blood.
"I... I won't lose!" On the thin sword, the light flowed wildly, and the silver-white thoughts surged wildly.
!!However, when the black-robed man rushed to a distance of less than five meters from her, he was instantly knocked aside by a sudden force, and the entire wall was shattered in the blink of an eye, and the dust was dozens of meters high.
A figure flashed to the roof of the building beside the wine fairy: "Hey, if you're playing." Can you count me in? ā
"It's him, withdraw!" a dozen black-robed men patted the merchant on the shoulder, and disappeared together in an instant.
"Who are those?" asked Xianfeng from the top of the building, with a serious face.
"How do I know? But it seems that the comers are not good, and they should be prepared as soon as possible. The wine fairy said tiredly.
"That guy over there should know something. The fairy wind walked towards the ruins, looking at the black-robed man who fell to the ground, shock and anger swept through his body.
"Those guys?" said Fairy Wind, turning around and making eye contact with the wine fairy.
"What's the matter? I won't thank you. The wine fairy's face was a little blushing, probably because of the competition that the fairy wind said before.
"It's nothing? He committed suicide by swallowing poison in the first place, and it seems that it is not a simple force. ā
"Oh, if you were to compete, you would have won, right?"
"Ah, do you know me well, but I'm better than you. ā
"Really, it's easy for someone like you to be disgusted by others. The little goodwill that I had so hard to have is now gone. The wine fairy frowned and was disgusted, but the fairy wind listened to it in a fog.
"Ah, I'm going to win. Xianfeng responded with a rare seriousness.
"Oh, who said I wanted you to win. Self-righteous guys. The wine fairy's cheeks were flushed, and he didn't say a word while carrying a gourd.
"What are you holding here?"
"My dad said he wanted me to inherit the property of our store as soon as possible. Because, one day, he will also be gone. ā
"Industry?"
"Wine gourd, haven't you used it?" asked the wine fairy with a puzzled tilt of her head, a strand of hair sliding down her forehead to cover half of her eyes.
"No, because I didn't drink much before. But now I love to drink it..."Fairy Wind showed a rare emotional look.
"Hey, I'll make one for you, and I'll thank you for saving your life. The wine fairy chuckled softly.
"Let's go, what are you going to do now?"
"Cedar wood and lacquer are in stock at the store. I don't think it's necessary, let's go back now. With that, the wine fairy took the hand of the fairy wind and walked out of the alley.
"Ah, this one. Can you be honest with your hands. ā
"What's the matter? We're brothers now. ā
"Well, I'm convinced. Xianfeng looked at the pure appearance of the wine fairy, and didn't know what to do. Immortal Wind can't have weaknesses, and has been told since the beginning of the contract with the Cloud Nightmare Country. As the strongest, the faith of a nation. This god-like existence should not have weaknesses.
At this moment, he no longer seems to be invincible, and he has countless blood on his hands, and he has begun to think about the meaning of life, and once, he regarded death as a norm. There is no one who deserves his attention, having fun, and all of this is in opposition to what he once was.
And this also tells him that there are so many interesting things in life.
There are still so many people on the streets. The guy who held his hand made him experience a feeling he had never felt before: "By the way, the little two in the store look like he has no desire." How can you be so honest, can't you be your suitor too?"
"The shopkeeper is an orphan, he was raised by my father since he was a child, he is about the same age as me, and he is just over twenty, why do you want to bow to him?"
"Well, why do you wear a face mask every time you go out? Are you afraid that someone will recognize you?"
"Of course, I was afraid that I would be harassed and cause unnecessary trouble. Who called me a natural beauty? The wine fairy smirked.
"Then why don't you wear it this time?" said Xianfeng tentatively as he looked at the hand holding his arm.
"Because, there's no need for that!" she smiled again, like the intoxicating sake. I can't bear to wake up.
"What do you mean there's no need for that?"
The two walked all the way back to the tavern, and by this time there were already a few people on the street.
"Is the billboard at the door about the convention? It looks like it was just written..."
"Leave it alone, let's go first. The wine fairy grabbed the fairy wind and dragged it to the store.
Not long after entering the house, Xiao Er rushed down from upstairs and shouted, "Miss, something happened to the boss." ā
"What's wrong?" Fairy Feng and Wine Fairy rushed all the way upstairs under the leadership of Xiao Lizi, only to see the shopkeeper lying on the bed with a pale face.
The wine fairy walked in cautiously, but she didn't know what to do.
Xianfeng followed and whispered, "Let me come, maybe I can help something." ā
After some diagnosis and treatment, Xianfeng raised his head: "It's just that I've fainted from overwork, it shouldn't be a big deal." ā
"I happen to know some healing techniques, so I should be able to help somewhat. As he spoke, Xianfeng's hand slowly exuded a cyan aura.
Nianliu slowly melted into the shopkeeper's body, and stopped for a moment with a coughing sound.
The shopkeeper woke up, and the wine fairy hugged the shopkeeper and sobbed non-stop.
"I'm so scared, father. Don't go, these days you always say leave everything to me, I'm so scared, I'm really scared. ā
Xianfeng looked at this scene, and this wine fairy would actually be sad. But it seems really distressing.
After a few moments, the shopkeeper opened his eyes.
"I'm fine, just a little cold, plus it's been too hard to count money recently, maybe it's a disease from overwork. But it's best to die in the pile of money. ā
"Dad, you..."
"It's okay, hug me and cry. When I'm gone, remember to bury me with my safe. ā
After a warm conversation, the shopkeeper called Xianfeng to him: "Young man, I tell you sometimes. Stay out of the way. ā
"What's the matter, mysterious? can't even your daughter say it?" the wine fairy pouted in displeasure.
"Things between men. ā
The shopkeeper also made up: "What about me?"
"Things between men, there can't be a third man!"
"Well..."
Looking at the empty room, Xianfeng frowned and said nothing.
"You know, there is no solution to this disease. The shopkeeper said a little sadly.
"Cancer, not even magic can cure it... But aren't you really going to tell them?" asked Xianfeng sadly.
"From the first time I saw you, I knew that you kid is not simple, you are not a sentinel, you have no military spirit. It's not that commoners don't have a worldly temperament, they don't have businessmen, they don't have the words of interest. You are from above, and as a capable person, you are not arrogant at all. ā
"Why are you praising me, am I so good in my husband's heart?"
"I'm a dying man, three or five years at most, a few months at the least. I just want to save the best for her, and as long as she can be happy, I am willing to do anything. His mother died in childbirth when she was born, and in her eyes, I was just a bastard dad who could make money.
But I dare say there is no second person in the world who loves her more than me!" said the shopkeeper confidently.
"Hmm. "Xianfeng understands that this kind of family affection where blood is thicker than water, and the only one who depends on each other for life, this is the most important thing for ordinary people.
In the eyes of the fairy wind, the empire is his most important thing.
"You deserve her, and I'm sure you won't tell me about it. Just let me go quietly. The shopkeeper took a sip of tea and looked at the fairy wind with tenderness in his eyes.
"Is that competition just about finding a good wife for you?" said Xianfeng again about the problems he had learned along the way.
"It's a bet I made instead of saying that, I don't want her to be cheated by anyone. So just give her a chance to see everyone clearly.
When this martial arts meeting is over, I will leave Gufeng Town. And then die on the way to travel, this option is simply perfect. The middle-aged man took another sip of tea and smiled contentedly.
Xianfeng didn't know how to speak, facing such a perfect man. He felt that any more words he had said were pointless.
"Also, I don't think there's anything to be hidden from you. ā
"Oh?"
"I know your true identity, Xianfeng!" the shopkeeper's sudden words caught Xianfeng a little off guard.
"You?"
"Don't be surprised, because that's what a high-ranking member of the empire told me disguised as a businessman. Am I wishful thinking, you say?" the shopkeeper put down his glass and seemed to be waiting for an answer, one that he himself could not be sure of. It's a big bet.
"No, I have feelings for her, maybe I will really come together with her, my heart will not change, but I don't know what she thinks..."
The shopkeeper looked at Xianfeng with a little trembling palms: "My requirements are not high, as long as you replace everything I have done... Just love her. ā
The conversation lasted until midnight, and it was a secret between men. Maybe this will become a permanent secret.
In the following time, Xianfeng became a real bodyguard. There were more than a dozen civil and military conferences, and Xianfeng defeated his opponent in a high-profile manner every time.
Every night the fairy wind would sit on the roof and tell the wine fairy those beautiful stories that did not exist, and they watched the night together, the wind and the moon, everything was perfect and intoxicating.
"Sentinel, I don't know your name yet. ā
"Me? I don't have a name. ā
"Can I call you a fairy wind, then? The wine fairy squirmed.
"Yes, you can call me anything. Is Fairy Wind your idol?"
"To tell you the truth, I never dreamed of marrying him. Because he was told from an early age that he was a perfect person. ā
Xianfeng's face flushed, and he didn't know what to say, but he just looked at her in a daze: "..."
"Hey, your hair is so long. ā
"Me, because people in our family are born with long hair. ā
"Can I call you a sissy then?"
"Poof, that can also reflect that you are not feminine. ā
"How can you be like my father? Anyway, one day my hair will be longer than yours!"
"Haha, by the way, what do you think of your father. ā
"He was greedy for money and then treated me very well, but sometimes I couldn't understand him. He's the kind of guy who does what he says. ā
"Then it seems that he loves you very much. ā
"Well, I love ...... very much"
During this night, it was pitch black everywhere.
All of this, all the images were captured by a certain force and transmitted back to the eyes of the Empire's top brass. For a while, criticism and crusade were heard one after another.
"Fei Lian Gongzi, you asked him to go to Gufeng Town to ask him to find clues to the black man. And he spent all day loitering, and hooked up with a restaurant girl. ā
"Hugh wants to slander Lord Faerie, that's the tavern, the place to drink. The woman is only the daughter of the shopkeeper.
You traitors, can't Lord Xianfeng have a little time for yourself?" a young man stepped forward and said seriously.
"Who are you? You don't have much chance of appearing at the Imperial High Council. ā
"My name is Feng Kuo, and I am a disciple of Lord Xianfeng. He is also a nobleman of the Wind Clan, the younger brother of the son of Fei Lian. The young man replied.
Fei Lian Gongzi on the first seat shook his fan and said lightly: "I asked him to come, what's the matter?
"No, what Childe said was right. ā
"Hmph. ā
......
