Chapter 373: Cold and Warm Self-Knowing

This wine was drunk from the scorching sun until the bright moon hung in the sky.

When several drunken people helped each other out of Tianxiang Building, the night was already dark, and the streets of Luoyang City were empty and lonely.

Lin Fangda was drunk and almost unconscious, if it weren't for the joint support of "Fushou Kangning", he was afraid that he would have fallen to the ground and fell asleep.

The brothers Abaolu, Xu Heng, Ling Qing, and Liao were also drunk and hazy, staggering down the street, sometimes shouting to the sky, sometimes dancing, squeezing their eyebrows one by one, and full of ugliness. But they themselves were unaware, but they were in high spirits and were extremely excited.

In contrast, Liu Xunyi and Xun Qin are much more sober.

"I really can't see that you have such a large amount?" Liu Xunyi looked at Xun Qin, whose face was crimson, and said in admiration, "Among the women I have ever seen, you have the largest amount of alcohol." ”

"You're not bad either. ”

Xun Qin Waner smiled, at this time her skin was like condensation, her eyes were cut with water, her willow eyebrows and starry eyes, and her apricot face and peach cheeks, under the bright moonlight, she was extremely charming.

"It depends on what kind of wine you drink, and who you drink with?" Liu Xunyi said with a smile, "There is a saying that 'there is wine today and drunk today, and tomorrow will be sad tomorrow'." People live in the world, and sometimes they have to get drunk to be happy!"

"There are 'singing and drinking during the day, and youth is a good companion to return home'. There is also 'a glass of wine in the spring breeze of peach and plum, and ten years of light in the night rain of rivers and lakes'. Xun Qin said with interest, "From ancient times to the present, you Han people seem to have an unusual affection for wine. ”

"What's more, and 'let's see all the flowers, don't get tired of hurting and drinking more into your lips'. I don't know if it's drunk, or empathetic, at this moment, Liu Xunyi is actually proud, full of interest, chanting, "And a glass ......of wine before his death, why should he be famous for thousands of years after his death?"

"Life and death, joy, anger and sorrow, are inseparable from a glass of wine?" Xun Qin joked, "In our Daliao, wine returns to wine, people to people, and love to love, and is never mixed up." ”

"Is it because of the ruthlessness in the wine that you can not get drunk in a thousand glasses?"

"I'm afraid it's 'the drunkard's intention is not to drink'. Xun Qin replied with a smile, "In my words, am I not drunk with a thousand glasses? It depends on what kind of wine I am drinking, and with whom I am drinking?"

Hearing this, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but be stunned. The two looked at each other and burst out laughing.

"Boom!"

"Oh, this uncle, we are a small business, and we can't afford your ...... like this."

"Get out of here! If you smash it, you will be compensated. You just have to drink, don't bother me!"

"But the shop is closing......"

"If you dare to be verbose, I'll burn down your liquor shop!"

With the sound of a wine jar shattering, there was a sudden noise in the alley.

"Who is so bold? How dare you make trouble in Luoyang City!"

Or when the wine was strong, Xu Heng was furious, dragged Ling Qing, Liao Chuan and others, and walked towards a small wine shop at the end of the alley.

"Brother Xu, don't mess around!"

Seeing this, Liu Xunyi hurriedly reminded him, and at the same time quickly chased after him in the alley.

In the narrow alley, there is a very simple wine shed, under which there are only two low tables, four benches, and a wheelbarrow full of wine jars. Other than that, there is nothing else.

The shopkeepers of this small shop are an elderly couple in their sixties. The two are weak and old, and they barely make a living by setting up stalls to buy alcohol.

At this moment, the broken wine jar was scattered all over the ground, and there was a mess under his feet. The old couple stood trembling aside, looking at the one-armed man sitting at the table, drinking bowl after bowl, and did not even dare to breathe.

"Who is spreading wild here?"

Xu Heng, who was full of alcohol, scolded and rushed to the front, and before the old couple could explain, he had already reached out and grabbed the one-armed man's neck, wanting to pick him up and ask him.

"Whew!"

However, as soon as Xu Heng's hand approached, the man's right arm suddenly rose upward, and then he pushed out a palm without looking back, which shook Xu Heng, who was caught off guard, out of his head.

"Look for death!"

The sudden change made Xu Heng and the others suddenly sober up. Liao Chuan and Liao Hai quickly pulled out their steel knives and pressed towards the one-armed man from left to right.

"Where did ......you come from, a dog that dares to make trouble in the territory of King Xian's Mansion?"

Before he finished speaking, the one-armed man suddenly looked back and immediately choked back Liao Chuan's words.

"Black ...... Black Fan ......"

Under the moonlight, the one-armed man showed a gloomy and indifferent face, it was the black fan of the Xianwang Mansion, Di Mo.

"This ......"

This situation made the Liao brothers look at each other and be at a loss.

Seeing this, Ling Qing stepped forward quickly, knocked on the heads of the two of them, and reprimanded: "The black fan is here, how dare you be presumptuous? Why don't you quickly put the knife away!"

After saying that, Ling Qing couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment, and turned to Di Mo to apologize: "I'm reckless, and I hope that the black fan will forgive the sin!"

In the face of Ling Qing's reparation, Di Mo didn't even give him a straight eye. His cold and arrogant eyes stared straight at Liu Xunyi, who was dazed, and said lightly: "Xunyi, sit down and have a few drinks with me!"

"Yes. ”

Liu Xunyi didn't dare to disobey Di Mo's order, shook his head at Xun Qin quietly, and then walked quickly towards the wine shed.

"Go back first!"

Di Mo poured wine for the anxious Liu Xunyi, while casually "chasing away customers". Hearing this, Ling Qing hesitated for a moment, and then said goodbye one after another under Liu Xunyi's eyes, and slowly left the alley.

"Come!

Just as Liu Xunyi watched Xun Qin and the others drift away, Di Mo had already placed a bowl full of spirits in front of him.

"Black fan, this is ......"

"Drink it first!"

Seeing Di Mo's firm tone, Liu Xunyi didn't dare to hesitate, picked up the wine bowl and drank it all.

"Here, another bowl!"

Di Mo poured Liu Xunyi three bowls of wine, but he didn't explain half a sentence, which made Liu Xunyi feel confused.

"Continue ......"

"Wait a minute!" Just as Di Mo was about to pour the fourth bowl of wine for Liu Xunyi, Liu Xunyi took the first step to cover his hand on the bowl, and said suspiciously: "What's on the mind of the black fan?"

"What?" Di Mo raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "You don't like to drink with me?"

"It's okay to drink, but you have to drink clearly. Liu Xunyi replied bluntly, "If you drink it in a daze, you don't dare to agree." ”

Di Mo snorted coldly, suddenly slammed the wine jar to the ground, and asked, "You want to teach me a lesson?"

Liu Xunyi was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare in the next! If the black fan just wants to find someone to drink, there is nothing else to do, and he will be accompanied to the end in the next, and he will not return if he is not drunk!"

Hearing this, Di Mo's face slowed down slightly, and then he changed his words and said faintly: "I have been in the mansion for more than ten years, and I have been in charge of the next three gates for the lord of the mansion for more than ten years. So far, I have not missed any errands assigned by the lord of the house, and I have done my best. ”

"The black fan was born and died for the Xianwang Mansion, and made countless meritorious contributions, and never disappointed the mansion owner......"

"No!" Di Mo interrupted, "this time...... I disappointed the lord. Long Xiangshan and his party, not only did I fail to find Xu Ren and find out the conspiracy of Long Xiangshan, but instead caused 18 disciples to die tragically, even ...... myself."

As for this, Di Mo couldn't help but look at his empty left sleeve with a sad expression. At the same time, a bitter smile rose at the corner of his mouth.

"Life and death are impermanent, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and the black fan doesn't have to mind ......"

"I don't mind this one, but my arm...... But it will never grow again. Di Mo's tone was extremely sad, and Liu Xunyi felt pity, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

"After returning to the house, although the lord of the mansion did not hold me accountable for my disadvantages, I could clearly feel that he was very disappointed in me. Since I recovered from my injuries, the mansion master has not explained a single errand to me, not even the matter of Ling Qing following Deng Wuye to Jiangzhou...... I'm also the last one to know. Now, the lord of the mansion has explained the work of the next three doors, and he no longer informs me......"

"No!" Liu Xunyi was secretly shocked in his heart, and said busily, "The lord of the mansion is well aware of righteousness, and he will never be dissatisfied with you because of an oversight." He doesn't bother you, he wants you to recuperate in peace......"

"If I cut off an arm, I'm like half a cripple. Di Mo shook his head and said, "Right now, the mansion master needs to be a capable man, not a wasted person who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures." With that, Di Mo picked up the wine jar and poured it into his mouth in a big gulp.

Di Mo said that if it had been put in the past, Liu Xunyi would have disdained it, and even tried his best to refute it. But after many changes, Luo Tianjin's impression in his heart has long been very different. As for the "rabbit dead dog cooking, bird hiding the bow", it is not completely impossible.

In fact, Di Mo's sense of loss of being abandoned today was also experienced by Liu Xunyi when he was in Hexi.

Therefore, in the face of Di Mo, who borrowed wine to kill his sorrows, Liu Xunyi really didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only drink silently and accompany him to get drunk.

"This afternoon, the lord summoned me to my study alone. Di Mo wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "Do you know what he said to me?"

"What?"

"The lord of the mansion said......" Di Mo's smile was more ugly than crying, "He wants to promote me to the eighth male of the Xianwang Mansion." ”

"This ......" Liu Xunyi was stunned for a moment, then his face was happy, and he said with a smile, "Isn't this a great thing? I have long heard that the black fan is the person who is most likely to be among the seven heroes in the Xianwang Mansion, and today it is true. ”

After saying that, Liu Xunyi resolutely got up, raised his wine and congratulated: "Congratulations to the black fan!"

Di Mo glanced at Liu Xunyi, then stretched out his hand to point at him, and said, "Wrong! I should say hello to you." ”

"Me?" Liu Xunyi said stunned, "What do I like?"

"Do you know why the Mansion Master promoted me to the eighth male?"

"Why?"

"Because of you!" Di Mo sneered, "Because the mansion master wants you to succeed me and take charge of the next three gates." He promoted me in order to free up the position of the black fan...... Leave it to you. What is the eighth male? It's just a false name, it's basically a bright rise and a dark fall, and the lord of the mansion has an iron heart to let me be idle, hehe......"

"Is this what the mansion master means?" Liu Xunyi hesitated, "Or is it Hei Zhifan's own speculation?"

"It's lice on a bald head, obviously. Di Mo laughed at himself, "But I don't blame you, and I don't blame the mansion master." I only blame myself for my bad luck and bad fate. ”

"Black Fan ......"

"That's it!" Without waiting for Liu Xunyi to persuade him, Di Mo suddenly waved his hand and ordered, "You go! ”

"I ......"

"Don't worry, go back!"

In the face of Di Mo's urging, Liu Xunyi had mixed feelings in his heart, but he had nothing to do, so he had to say goodbye to him, and walked to the old couple instead, handed them a piece of gold, and softly comforted: "This is a little bit of my heart, please go back and rest first!"

One ingot of gold is enough for an old couple to buy ten more of these wineries. Therefore, they didn't say much, thanked Liu Xunyi for their kindness, and then helped each other and staggered away.

Liu Xunyi glanced back at Di Mo's lonely back again, and couldn't help but let out a silent sigh in his mouth.

There was no word for persuasion, so he could only leave silently. When Liu Xunyi walked out of the narrow alley and wanted to rush back to King Xian's mansion, a figure suddenly jumped down from the roof, blocking his way.

"Who?"

"Shhhhhh
