Beijun, Longle County, Tianwei Mountain, where the climate is pleasant, the water and grass are abundant, and a river close to the mountain range is rushing to nourish the people and fertile land here.

Although Longle County is located in the northwest border of the empire and borders the grassland, the habitability here is not much worse than that of the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Through the construction of the empire for nearly seventy years, the entire northern county, as well as Longle County, has become a granary in the rear of the empire and a strong fortress against the southward invasion of the northern nomadic tribes.

In a bustling town dozens of miles away from Longle County, Shopkeeper Wu was leading a donkey, driving a cart, pulling the goods purchased in the town to the inn he drove dozens of miles away.

Shopkeeper Wu looks to be in his forties, he has been here for more than three years, and he is very familiar with the residents of the town, he smiled and greeted everyone in a friendly manner, and the townspeople were also very polite to this shopkeeper Wu.

After a few hours, the shopkeeper Wu pulled the cart to an inn, which was standing quietly on the side of the road, which was located in the middle of nowhere, and there were not many merchants who welcomed the past, but it was enough to maintain the normal operation of this small inn.

When he arrived at the inn, the shopkeeper Wu shouted, "Lao Liu, come out to unload." ”

At this time, a middle-aged man ran out of the inn, and when he saw his boss coming to the door with the goods, he stepped forward to help unload the goods and move into the back kitchen.

There are not many merchants on weekdays, and there will be a wave of people in a few days, and the inn seems to be very deserted, and after unloading the goods, the shopkeeper Wu turned around and took out a jar of wine and sat at the low table to drink a few glasses.

The shopkeeper Wu was slightly drunk, and he thought that there should be no guests coming to the door today. At this moment, the people and horses outside the inn neighed, and the shopkeeper Wu took a look, only to see a woman with a hat and a graceful figure outside the inn by herself, and then Shi Shiran entered the store.

When a guest came to the door, the shopkeeper Wu naturally didn't dare to slack off, and stepped forward to greet him: "Is the guest officer staying in the hotel or playing sharp?" ”

The mysterious woman wearing a hat and a light veil directly threw out a few gold leaves and said, "Good wine, three catties of cooked mutton, and five cakes." ”

Shopkeeper Wu was a little surprised by the woman's appetite, but he didn't care, the first woman who dared to go out alone this year was not a simple person.

Shopkeeper Wu accepted the gold leaf with a smile and said, "Guest officer, please wait a while, then go and prepare." ”

Shopkeeper Wu turned his head and called the handyman Li Sandao: "San'er, the distinguished guest has come to the door, go and pick up a pot of good wine." ”

Li San smiled and said, "Come on." ”

After a while, Li San held a pot of good wine and placed it in front of the mysterious woman's table, the woman slowly poured a bowl of wine, took out a silver needle and tried it, and sniffed it carefully before holding the wine bowl to her nose, before lifting the corner of the light veil and taking a sip.

I saw a small corner that was opened, the mysterious woman's skin was fair and translucent like a baby, and her ruddy lips touched the wine bowl and took a small sip, just revealing this little bit of spring light, which made Boss Lu and Li San stunned, I really don't know how brilliant this woman will be after taking off the hat.

After the woman drank a bowl of wine, she exclaimed, "I didn't expect to be able to drink such good wine in such a small place." ”

The woman's praise finally made the shopkeeper Wu and Li San come back to their senses, in the end, it was the mystery that could not be seen that touched the heartstrings of the two, even if it was a little bit of spring, it was roughly judged that this woman was a rare beauty.

When the shopkeeper Wu heard this, his face turned pale, and he said: "The girl is polite, this is brewed by me personally, except for this inn, this wine is unique." ”

"What's the name of this wine?" The woman asked.

Shopkeeper Wu sighed lightly and said, "Homesick." ”

The woman said: "Good name, wine is also good wine, it's a pity, it's a pity......"

Shopkeeper Wu and Li Santing looked at each other a little uncertainly, so Shopkeeper Wu smiled and said: "There is still a lot of stock in this wine store, if the guest officer likes it, you can bring a few jars back." ”

The woman said, "Okay, then thank you boss." ”

Shopkeeper Wu made a look, Li San went to the inner hall and brought a few jars of wine to put in front of the woman's table, and the woman threw out a small piece of gold leaf as a reward, and Shopkeeper Wu naturally stepped forward with a smile and accepted it.

At this moment, the chef Lao Liu carefully placed the freshly cooked mutton and flatbread in front of the woman's table, and Lao Liu was also a little surprised that so much food was actually ordered by a woman? He still thought there were three strong men in the store.

The woman looked at the steaming mutton in front of her and bowed slightly, "Thank you." After that, he slowly took off the hat and placed it on the table, picked up the mutton, and gently opened his lips and ate it slowly.

Shopkeeper Wu, Lao Liu, and Li San, who was pretending to settle accounts at the counter, finally saw the true face of this mysterious woman, and they stayed on the spot for a while.

The beauty of this woman is really rare to see, with bright eyes and bright teeth, picturesque eyebrows, especially the eyes like autumn water are the most beautiful, and there seems to be a trace of purple light flashing faintly.

When did the miscellaneous Li San see such a beautiful woman, I saw him staring at the woman for a while, his throat rolled, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily.

The woman ate half of it slowly, and when she looked up, she saw that the three of them just didn't say a word, and just watched her eat blankly, as if she was enchanted.

She chuckled and said, "Everyone, is this girl's meal so good-looking?" ”

The shopkeeper Wu was the first to react, and scolded Lao Liu Li San and said: "It's really rude to stare at other girls eating like this, hurry up." ”

Lao Liu and Li San agreed again and again, but when they left, they turned back three times in one step, as if they were reluctant to give up the woman.

Shopkeeper Wu scolded the two of them, but he still stared at the woman, and couldn't help but praise: "Don't blame the girl, they are all from a small place, they have never seen the world, they were really abrupt girls just now." ”

The woman said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I've been used to it for a long time, everyone has a love for beauty, I can't stitch up other people's eyes everywhere I go, right?" ”

Shopkeeper Wu also wanted to take the opportunity to talk to the woman for a few words, and praised: "The girl is really a bright person, Wu admires it, and dares to ask the girl why she came to this remote place alone?" ”

The woman said meaningfully: "Find someone." ”

Shopkeeper Wu said strangely: "Oh? It's a coincidence, I, Wu, know a lot of people in this 100-mile radius, and I also know a lot of friends in the rivers and lakes. ”

The woman said embarrassedly: "Shopkeeper Wu is really polite, how embarrassing it is." ”

The shopkeeper Wu said with a smile: "Alas, meeting is fate, make a friend, in Xia Wu Jin, Koutian Wu, Jin with a splendid future, Lingjiang County, I Wu asked myself to make a wide range of friends in the rivers and lakes, maybe I can really help in the next." ”

The woman arched her hand and said: "This girl's surname is Fang, her name is Yunyi, she is from Anyang County, and she is a nobody in the rivers and lakes. ”

Wu Jin was a little surprised: "People from Anyang County? The girl's ancestor was also from Lu? ”

Fang Yunyi nodded lightly and said, "Well, yes." ”

Wu Jin clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Oops! Really, it's a fellow countryman! Although I am a native of Linjiang County, Ludi, I am also a fellow countryman in this northwest place. ”

Fang Yunyi smiled: "That's right! ”

Wu Jin turned his head and summoned Li Sandao: "San'er, you go and get a few jars of wine for Miss Fang, the one with the longest vintage." ”

Li San quickly glanced at Fang Yunyi's beautiful face, and hurriedly went to the inner hall to get wine.

Wu Jin saw Li San put the wine jar on her table, and said with a smile: "Miss Fang, a small gift is not a tribute." ”

Fang Yunyi hurriedly refused: "Shopkeeper Wu, how can this make you also operate with a small capital." ”

Wu Jin smiled and said, "Hey! Accept it, I'm a good friend of the Quartet, since I have a fate to get together today, and the girl is my fellow countryman of Wu, this meeting gift is nothing, I hope the girl must not refuse, otherwise it will not be my friend of Wu. ”

Fang Yunyi couldn't refuse, so he had to sigh slightly and said, "Okay, that girl is disrespectful." ”

Wu Jin smiled: "That's right, this is my friend Wu, hahaha." ”

Wu Jin and Fang Yunyi chatted while drinking, really like friends they hadn't seen for many years.

Fang Yun Yiqi said: "Since Shopkeeper Wu is from Lingjiang County, why did he run so far to run this small inn here?" ”

Wu Jin drank a glass of wine, waved his hand and said, "Alas! Not to mention, I committed a crime in my hometown, and I was supposed to be assassinated and sentenced to a prisoner, but fortunately, our Wu family has some connections in the local area, and I learned the news in advance, so I came here incognito to avoid trouble. ”

Fang Yunyi suddenly said: "Your Wu family is also a big surname in Lingjiang County, I think the background of the Wu shopkeeper's family is not ordinary?" The law of Jin is strict, and it is indeed extraordinary to be able to escape here. ”

Wu Jin looked like he had been seen through, and said with a smile: "It's not a secret, my uncle was appreciated by the county order, worked as a gong cao in Lingjiang County, and dredged up and down the relationship, and got the road guide, so I was able to come here safe and sound." ”

Fang Yunyi bowed slightly: "No wonder Shopkeeper Wu is so low-key. ”

Wu Jin still remembered the matter of looking for someone for Fang Yunyi, and asked, "Miss Fang, didn't you say before that you were going to come here to find someone?" What is his name? If you can help, I will do my best in the next."

Fang Yunyi stared at Wu Jin's eyes and said slowly: "Shopkeeper Wu, his surname is Sun, a single word Zeng, he is a wealthy family in Dong'an City, he fights cocks and walks dogs on weekdays, wanders into shapes, eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and has everything, and also opens an underground casino in private, and eats both black and white in the local area, and is a famous prodigal in Dong'an City." ”

"About five years ago, that is, around March of the twentieth year of Datong, he suddenly left behind the great family business and evaporated from the world in Dong'an City, I asked many local people who were familiar with him, and they didn't know where this person went, as if he had never appeared, I don't know if you know the whereabouts of this person?"

When Wu Jin heard this, his face was embarrassed, and he shook his head slightly: "Miss Fang, to be honest, it is the first time I have heard of this person's name, when I hid all the way to Tibet, I only came here three years ago and barely took root, although Dong'an City has some old friends, but I have not been in touch for so many years, what is happening now, I am really black-eyed!" ”

Fang Yunyi looked slightly disappointed and said, "How can I say that Shopkeeper Wu has really never heard of this person?" ”

Wu Jin frowned, shook his head slowly, and said, "I really haven't heard of it, but Miss Fang, please rest assured, tomorrow I will take a leave of absence and ask an old friend in Dong'an City to help inspect this person." ”

Wu Jin continued to ask: "Miss Fang has been looking for this person for thousands of miles, what is the matter?" ”

Fang Yunyi said: "Entrusted by others......"
