At dusk, a few broken clouds floated in the sky, blocking the already unclear sunlight and making the winter air a little chilly. The cold wind whistled through the mountains, and the sound was terrible, like a ghost cry, and the cold wind swept the sand and gravel on the mountain, scattering and flying aimlessly.

A carriage was slowly advancing in the mountains, and the driver was Zhao Zheng, and in the carriage behind him, Luo Xing, who was sleeping soundly. He won the Wendou, and Yan Shi handed Luo Xing over to him according to his promise. His purpose had been achieved, and he did not linger any longer, so he immediately left the Qishimen and drove the carriage provided by the Qishimen to this mountain. He wanted to find a secluded and uninhabited place, cooked Luo Xing, gave an explanation to Ma'an's family, and comforted the souls of the deceased in the sky.

Halfway up the hill in front of me there was a bare mountain wall full of cracks that seemed to be easily destroyed.

Zhao Zheng looked around and felt that this place was good, so he drove to the mountain wall and pulled the reins to stop the carriage. He rolled over and dismounted, went around to the back of the carriage, opened the door, pulled out the bound Luo Xing, and threw him under the mountain wall.

He originally wanted to wake up Luo Xing and let Luo Xing understand his death, but he felt that this was too cruel, so he dispelled this thought. Let Luo Xing die comfortably in his sleep, which can be regarded as the last trace of mercy to Luo Xing.

"Be content. You died a much easier death than that innocent old woman. He looked down at Luo Xing, who was unconscious, and slowly pulled out a life sword, this sword has been stained with the blood of many people since its birth, and in the cold light shining at the blade, I don't know when there was an extra murderous aura of dementoring.

The sword light fell, hitting Luo Xing's heart. Took away the beating of his heart. He was in the moment before he died. Still sleeping.

Zhao Zheng pulled out his sword, and the blood fell down the tip of the sword, speckled and landed on the bare stone, these blood beads looked so crystal clear. He twisted his sword and swung his sword towards the opposite mountain wall, and the sword qi detached from the sword body, like a long golden snake, slamming into the mountain wall.

More cracks appeared in the impacted mountain wall. Some gravel bones fell down and lay on Luo Xing's body.

Zhao Zheng then swung several swords in a row, and one after another sword qi hit the mountain wall, shattering the mountain wall, and large and small stones fell on Luo Xing's corpse, burying the corpse below.

He didn't let Luo Xing burst into the wilderness, because he didn't like to torture the dead. And the scenery here is good, and letting the corpses stay here will spoil the scenery here.

"Rest in peace."

Zhao Zheng turned his head to look at the north and muttered. Then he got up and got into the carriage and continued south without looking back.

A week later. Zhao Zheng arrives in Gujing Town, the land of fine wine, where he wants to buy the "Nine Brewed Spring Wine", which, like wood carvings, is an essential thing for him and can come in handy in the near future.

Gujing Town is a beautiful town, and there are many springs in the town, and Jiuzhuo Spring Wine is made from these springs. Kujo spring sake is a specialty here, and only the water here can be brewed, and other places cannot make sake with this taste even if they are brewed using the same process.

Walking on the street, you can smell the fragrance of wine when you raise your nose and follow the aroma of wine.

What Zhao Zheng was going to buy was not an ordinary Jiuzhuan spring wine, but the kind of imperial tribute wine that was used to pay tribute to the emperor every year, which could not be bought in ordinary wine shops, and was only available to the Cao family, who specialized in brewing this kind of wine.

The Cao family is a local wine-making family, and the nine-brewed spring wine produced is unrivaled in the local area, and after the emperor inadvertently drank this wine, he immediately issued a holy decree to make this wine the imperial wine that is paid tribute every year.

Of course, the wine specially reserved for the emperor can no longer be drunk by the common people, so the Cao family's Jiujiu spring wine is not sold to the public. Of course, if some powerful people come, the Cao family will have to sell it because of the situation, but they will never sell it openly.

Except for the emperor, it is very difficult for others to get their hands on this kind of imperial wine, even if they can't buy it with money, because the Cao family is not short of money at all.

Zhao Zhengyi Bai Ding, neither power nor power, just a little money, but it is useless, he wants to get this kind of wine, there is only one way, that is, steal!

He didn't like to use this kind of indiscriminate method, but there was no other good way at the moment, so he had to make this decision. Although he is a decent person, he is not pedantic, and in his opinion, as long as he does not seriously hurt others, it does not matter. He will not steal all the wine insatiably, he will only take the jar of wine he needs, and he will also leave enough money to buy wine on the spot, and he will not take it away in vain, so he is worthy of the Cao family.

In addition to being a wine-making family, the Cao family is also a martial arts family, and all the family members will have a few hands, especially the head of the family, Cao Xuan, who has reached the realm of the Six Heavens, and can be regarded as a second-rate master.

The Cao family has been making wine for generations, and the martial arts they have practiced are also related to wine. This special martial art is called "Spirits Burning Technique", which requires drinking alcohol to practice, and when fighting, you can also use the alcohol in your body to release moves, or use alcohol to restore internal strength, which is very magical.

"Liquor Burning Technique" is biased towards hard kung fu, taking a fierce route, and moving very slowly, but the moves are extremely powerful, fists into the flesh, and tigers and tigers are vigorous.

Except for the head of the Cao family, Cao Xuan, there are no too powerful martial artists, and their cultivation is generally below the four heavens. Therefore, if you want to steal the imperial wine, the most important thing is to avoid Cao Xuan and choose to sneak in when Cao Xuan is not there.

In the game, there is a special task to infiltrate Cao's house to steal wine, and Zhao Zheng has done this task with his friends before, so he remembers it very clearly.

To do this task, the most important thing is to choose a time, Cao Xuan usually stays at home, only on the tenth day of each month, he will leave for the night and go to a green house to meet his lover privately, and it is safest to sneak into Cao Xuan's house on this day.

Today is the eighth day of the second lunar month, and there are two days left for Cao Xuan's private meeting with his lover, and when that night comes, Zhao Zheng will start stealing wine.

Zhao Zheng still had two days to prepare, he found a first-class inn in the town, opened a room, freshened up, washed away the dust of many days, and then found the shopkeeper and inquired about the specific location of the Cao family. Taking advantage of the fact that the time was still early, he rode to Cao's house, intending to step on the point first, recognize the door, and make it easier to start two days later.

The Cao family, as a family dedicated to brewing wine for the imperial court, has made a lot of money over the years, and the courtyard is built very magnificently, which is the largest building complex in the local area, and the courtyard is next to each other, occupying almost the entire street. Walking along the street, I saw that the doors of those courtyards were all hung with the plaques of Caofu.

"It's not quite the same as in the game." Zhao Zheng looked at the extraordinary Cao family compound, and crossed such thoughts in his heart. In the game, the place where the Cao family brews wine is called "Lingquan Garden", which is easy to find, but in reality, there are too many houses of the Cao family, so it is impossible to find them.

If you want to steal the imperial wine, you must first find out where the "Lingquan Garden" is, and if you want to find out where the "Lingquan Garden" is, the most direct and trouble-free way is to ask someone who is familiar with the Cao family.

Zhao Zheng walked around in front of Cao's house, and when he saw a Cao family manservant who was out, he came up and stopped the manservant, and talked to the manservant, lying that he wanted to buy imperial wine. The manservant was reluctant to deal with him at first, he immediately stuffed a piece of broken silver into the manservant's hand, and the manservant saw that the money was open, changed his attitude, and told Zhao Zheng about the imperial wine, and secretly said that he could get the imperial wine, and only sold it for three hundred taels of silver a jar.

Zhao Zheng knew that the manservant was lying, the real imperial wine could not be so cheap, and the manservant must have provided just ordinary nine-brewed spring wine. He smiled, noncommittal, and continued to talk to the manservant, asking many questions, one of which included the specific location of the "Lingquan Court". The manservant didn't hide it, told everything he knew, and drew a few simple maps for Zhao Zheng on the ground, marking the location of the "Lingquan Court".

Lingquan Garden is a large courtyard, and once you know the approximate location, it is not difficult to find.

Zhao Zheng achieved his goal, sent the manservant away, returned to the inn, and spent two days in cultivation.

On the evening of February 10th, Zhao Zheng began to steal wine, took out his night clothes and some useful small bits and pieces from the warehouse, put them in a package, and carried them on his back. He walked out of the inn and came to a restaurant opposite Cao's house, found a window seat upstairs, and kept an eye on Cao's house while drinking.

As night fell, a mighty middle-aged man eight feet long walked out of the largest courtyard of the Cao family. He was a bit of a humble person, he didn't have much hair, so he simply shaved his bald head, which made him even more fierce. At the intersection of winter and spring, he still wore very thin clothes, two muscular knotted arms, and two bracers inlaid with several golden balls on his wrists. Around his waist, there is a silver wine jar, and the Cao family is inseparable from wine in practicing martial arts, so everyone has the habit of wearing wine vessels on their bodies.

This powerful middle-aged man looks the same as Cao Xuan in the game, and Zhao Zheng recognized it at a glance.

Cao Xuan went out and stepped on a tall horse, rode the horse and left home, it seems that he should be going to meet his lover.

"The Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, I wish you a good time tonight, as for your royal wine, I will smile unceremoniously." Zhao Zhengmu sent Cao Xuan away, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he drank all the wine in the cup. Gujing Town's nine-brewed spring wine really lives up to its reputation, the entrance is clear and sweet, and the aftertaste is not endless, among the drinks he has drunk, it can be regarded as one of the best.

The ordinary Jiuzhuo spring wine is so delicious, and the imperial wine brewed by the Cao family must be even better. Zhao Zheng secretly changed his mind and decided to steal two jars of imperial wine at one time, one jar for errands, and the other for himself to drink.

After waiting until late at night, Zhao Zheng left the restaurant, found a secluded place, changed into a night clothes, and jumped onto the courtyard wall of the Cao family's compound. There were many sharp nails buried in the wall of Cao's house, specially used to prevent theft, he stepped on the corner without nails with one foot, stabilized his figure, and then jumped over the wall and disappeared into the darkness.
