The woman smiled: "It's an old man named Yi Bocheng, who spends his days in the tavern, and he wears clothes with such a badge." ”

When Xiao Yan and the others heard Yi Bocheng's name, they were overjoyed, isn't this the person Boshi mentioned.

After thanking the woman on the spot and asking for the direction, Xiao Yan and the others hurried to the tavern.

After a few small turns, a slightly antique building built of logs appeared in front of me, a plaque with a gold wire and black background hung with the two big words "tavern", the door was ajar, and the noise inside was faintly heard.

"This is it, yes." Xiao Yan and the others were overjoyed, and walked forward quickly, just as they were about to push open the door of the tavern, when suddenly Xiao Yan was stunned, and the blood flowing in his body seemed to tremble.

Xiao Yan stopped, and sensed carefully, there were bursts of calls from the blood, it was the attraction of the same vein, and the blood was thicker than water, and it was absolutely wrong.

"There are people from the Xiao clan in it." Xiao Yan was very happy when he met his old acquaintance in a foreign country, but he also had a little doubt.

"How did the people of the Xiao clan come here? There is no reason, and it can resonate with the bloodline, the more profound the skill, the more obvious the response, but the Xiao clan does not seem to have a few high-level Dou Emperors. ”

Xiao Yan was puzzled, shook his head, and put down his thoughts for the time being, at this moment it was the right thing to find the person who could lead the way to find the Spirit Seal Moss.

Just when Xiao Yan was about to push the door in, in a dim corner of the tavern, there was an old man, with a sallow complexion and listlessness, the long hair on his forehead half covered his eyes, and his eyes that occasionally opened were cloudy, as if this shijie had nothing to make him care.

In the misty light of wine, the old man poured sip of hot barley wine. This wine is very cheap, there is not much mellow taste, only the pleasure of anesthetizing the nerves.

The wine ran down the corners of his mouth, dripping on the dark gray robe that seemed to be a little dark gray, and a silver dragon badge pinned to his chest was the only thing that stood out on the old man's body.

He is Yi Bocheng, the leader of the Bexiri mercenary group that Xiao Yan and the others are looking for.

Suddenly, the old man's cloudy eyes froze, swept away the decadence just now, swept his eyes to the door, his figure flashed, and the whole person disappeared in the tavern in an instant.

The old man walked out of the tavern, without looking back, a few ups and downs, appeared behind the hill next to the town of Gintama, picked a dark backlit place and squatted down. It seems that being accompanied by darkness can give you a sense of comfort, and the decadence just now has surfaced again.

Taking a big sip of wine, the hot liquid flowed down his throat to his internal organs, and the old man seemed to be satisfied with this feeling, but the corners of his wrinkled eyes unconsciously oozed a little crystal.

The escape just now was precisely because of Xiao Yan's appearance. The real name of this old man is not Yi Bocheng, but Xiao Yao, the former patriarch of the Xiao clan. Although it is still the same, Xiao Yao himself feels that he is no longer the same, at least he feels that he is no longer worthy of being the patriarch.

"Once upon a time, the four-star peak of his own pride, boasted that Haikou would rely on himself to break through the five-star, so he resolutely ran away from the clan, and swore not to break through. Now he is so depressed that he can only flee from the bloodline of the people of the Xiao clan, and he is really shameless to see the clansmen," the old man was immersed in memories.

Recalling that back then, he was the first person in the Xiao family to reach four stars, and he was also the most promising person to break through five stars. The scene of the Xiao clan sending off themselves to seek the road to prosperity in order to break through the five stars is still vivid, every smiling face and every hope is now turned into a part of the guilt and heavy accumulation in his heart, the old man shook hands weakly, feeling the declining strength, and the old tears were rampant.

It turned out that after coming out of the Xiao clan that year, the old man organized a mercenary group to roam the rivers and lakes, and everyone was ambitious and vowed to fight the world. But just when he reached the peak of the four-star and was excited, ready to break through to the five-star Dou Emperor, Xiao Yao found that his strength had stagnated, and gradually began to decline, but he didn't know what injuries he had suffered. Xiao Yao, who was anxious, searched for famous doctors in the mainland, but it was useless, and he watched his strength slip from the peak of the four-star to the early stage of the four-star day by day, and it seemed that it continued to weaken.

The dream of breaking through the five-star was completely shattered, Xiao Yao was discouraged, and Xiao Yan even had the idea of liberation after disbanding the mercenary group, and finally gave up because he couldn't give up the Xiao clan, but he had no face to return to the Xiao clan because he had a strong nature, so he had to borrow wine all day to kill his sorrows, and lingered in the tavern and gambling house to pass the time.

With thousands of thoughts and unbearable to look back, Xiao Yao grabbed the wine bag and poured the wine until he took a drop. Waving his hand and shaking off the wine bag, Xiao Yao stood up, sighed, and walked towards the outside of Silver Soul Town, intending to leave here forever, away from the clansmen, and live for the rest of his life. The sun was setting in the west, the old man was staggering, and the rickety figure was bent even more.
