Xuanyi stood at the end of the official post road, his eyes narrowed slightly, looking up at the end of the sparkling sea water by the night like a lamp, where would be the destination of his trip, he didn't know what the risk of this trip was, but he understood the truth that he couldn't get the tiger in the tiger's den.

He stared blankly at the walls of the capital opposite, close at hand, which had once been one of the places he hated the most, but now it was the place he had to try to go.

"Life is really full of accidents!"

After a long time, the Xuanyi man sighed softly, and beside the suspension bridge not far from the end of the post road, several warriors with swords and velvet armor who were responsible for patrolling and guarding the security casually glanced at the strange-looking Xuanyi man not far away, and did not pay too much attention to him, they were used to all kinds of pedestrians passing by here, and there were some spies in the workplace among them.

For such people, they have long been accustomed to it, and even many people in the rivers and lakes will more or less disguise themselves when they go out to the capital, after all, it is the foot of the Son of Heaven and the foundation of the court, and they don't want to attract too much attention.

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept by, and the face scarf of the Xuanyi man was blown off instantly, and it happened to fall at the feet of the few warriors with swords and velvet armor not far away.

"That's it, since you can't keep it, then let you go. ”

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Xuanyi's mouth, glanced at the face towel that was blown away by the wind, and shook his head.

If Mu Guitian was here, he would definitely be shocked, this Xuanyi man was none other than Mu Guitian's father, the old man Mu Yuan who did not leave the door of his family.

Several velvet warriors looked at each other, looking at the face towel under their feet that was blown off by the wind for a while, and then looking at Mu Yuan not far away, looking at each other, looking at a loss, obviously, it was the first time they had encountered such a coincidence.

However, Mu Yuan's appearance was secretly remembered by them.

The white horse, which was thrown away by Mu Yuan, stood quietly aside, shaking his head and looking at the withered grass and trees beside the official post road, as if dissatisfied that they could not be his temporary rations.

Seeing this situation, Mu Yuan thought for a moment, then turned around and walked to the white horse, stretched out his hand and patted the white horse's neck, as if to appease its dissatisfaction, the white horse nodded, it should be in response to him, Mu Yuan smiled slightly, and then took off the two dusty daughters from the saddle, walked to the few warriors with swords and velvet armor, changed to a spring breeze-like smile, and said: "Come, brothers, come and drink some wine to warm up!"

As he spoke, he casually patted off the mud seals on the two jars, and suddenly, a mellow aroma of wine overflowed, and in an instant, even the bright moonlight was eclipsed.

Several velvet armor warriors swallowed their saliva fiercely, and their faces were obviously moved, but they did not move for a long time, maintaining due vigilance, after all, for them, Mu Yuan was a stranger who could not be stranger anymore, and a stranger suddenly raised his glass to invite, then his intentions were a little intriguing, especially in this court fortress.

Either Mu Yuan is genuinely hospitable and wants to invite them to raise a glass and drink, or he has ulterior motives, no matter what, they have to be careful, and they have to be careful!

"Good wine!"

The leader was a thin man, about forty years old, he clenched the saber in his hand tightly, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that my brothers will not be blessed tonight, if they change places, my brothers will definitely have a drink with my brothers." ”

What he said was very technical, and he could advance or retreat.

Mu Yuan couldn't deny it, he directly raised one of the jars to his mouth, Meimei took a big sip, reached out and wiped the wine stains on the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Happy, I haven't drunk so happily for a long time, I understand the concerns of the brothers, I understand that I am thinking about the government, and let him do his duty, but such a good day, wouldn't it be a pity to let down the wine? ”

How could he not understand what was going on in the minds of several of them? It's nothing more than afraid that he will be deceived by them, in fact, Mu Yuan doesn't have that mind, tonight is destined to be unable to enter the capital, the moon sprinkles Qinghui, he entered the city alone, it is too eye-catching, not conducive to his future actions, it is better to raise wine to the moon, it can be regarded as a kind of nostalgia for the past, remember that before, they were a group of people, often drank under the moon, so unhappy, presumably other people also drank happily for a long time, after all, so many things happened, no one had that mind, and I don't know what it would be like to raise a glass of wine again。

If it is the reason why Mu Yuan invited a few of them, or if there is any intention for them, it is just that he wants to take this opportunity to get acquainted with them, that's all, after all, the classical virtue of Chinese culture that has been inherited for thousands of years is that people are familiar with things and easy to do, whether it is the change of dynasties or the replacement of old people, it is eternal and consistent.

Several people were still hesitant and undecided.

Mu Yuan had no choice but to send another jar of wine to them, drank the jar of wine in his hand, and said: "I will give this jar of wine to my brothers, as for whether to drink it or not, and when to drink it, it all depends on the wishes of my brothers, I am not reluctant, after all, I have also come all the way from the position of my brothers, and I know the concerns in my brothers' hearts." ”

He was telling the truth, thinking that at the beginning, when they were just starting out, they were not superior to people at the level of guards like them, but they were really honed from the bottom, so he always treated his brothers like brothers and sisters.

Finally, one of them couldn't help it, stared at the wine in front of him with his eyes, and said fiercely: "Head, I'm afraid of him a bird, we've been patrolling and guarding for so long, and a bird has already faded out of our mouth, it's rare that this brother is so generous, we can't live up to the kindness of the brother, isn't it?

He was the first to take the lead, and several other people echoed it.

The thin man he called the "head" thought about it, and it was not three or five days for a few of them to be on this post, and they had never seen anyone from above come here to supervise, and at the moment he was heartbroken, he dragged the Natan wine in front of him, poured himself a sip, and said: "Fuck it, there is wine today and drunk tomorrow, regardless of the rights and wrongs of his mother." ”

At the end, I didn't forget to praise the "good wine" and thank Mu Yuan for his hospitality.

Mu Yuan looked at all this with a smile, to be honest, he really appreciated the thin man's resolute character, he could see that the reason why the thin man hesitated before was mostly because he was afraid that a few people behind him would suffer with him, bold and responsible, this was the first feeling he gave Mu Yuan.

"Come, drink!"

Mu Yuan carried an altar alone, laughed, and raised the altar to sign.

The thin men lifted another jar of wine together, raised their salutes slightly, and drank them in turn, and they did not dislike each other for drinking the wine.

Once they let go, they were very enthusiastic, and soon they formed a circle and sat opposite Mu Yuan, smiling brightly.

After three rounds of drinking, they have long been unwary of Mu Yuan, and Mu Yuan also learned from them that there were originally six people in their small team, but one of them did not come out to guard tonight because he was unwell, so there were only five of them left, they were all from poor backgrounds, and they came out of the same village.

And the thin man named Cheng Xiao was their head, and it was he who led several of them from the small village "Chengjia Village" where they were , all the way to Dadu, in this process, they have suffered humiliation, the hardships they have experienced, can be described as countless, sometimes even for several days, even eating and drinking is a problem, but Cheng Xiao has never given up on them, and tried every means to encourage them to persevere, which is why they have to ask for Cheng Xiao's consent for everything, which makes Mu Yuan look at Cheng Xiao with admiration for a while.

In this world of the weak and the strong, it is already very difficult for a powerless person like him to get ahead by himself, let alone carry five oil bottles, but he has never given up, let alone abandoned them, which is the most commendable.
