"Who is this person?" When he saw someone approaching the northwest corner of the city, which was almost regarded as a "forbidden land" by the people of the Siege Town, the passers-by not far away stopped and looked over there and whispered.

"I don't know, maybe it's another monk who came here. ”

"During this time, I can't see those stupid people who don't take their own self-inflicted humiliation. Someone looked at the thin back and laughed playfully.

The monks who came to the town of the army either knew that they had no ability to pull out the agarwood and simply took a closer look, at least they did not come in vain, or they were afraid of Ji Qingyun or the huge power of the Qingyin blessed land and did not dare to make a move.

Of course, in fact, the former accounts for the vast majority.

After all, it's agarwood.

It's just that now they saw that someone wanted to pull out the black sword agarwood again, which was a farce that should not be missed.

"Look, his figure doesn't look like a body refining martial artist who has gone all the way to quenching his body. Some people who watched the excitement looked at the young man from a distance with their arms around their chests, and muttered playfully at the corners of their mouths.

"Besides, I didn't feel the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power from him, either he was extremely subtle enough to hide from my detection, or he was—" The man didn't say any more, because the answer was already self-evident.

Either he was an ordinary man who had never set foot on spiritual cultivation.

If it was the former, they might be okay with it, but if it was the latter, it would seem to them to be a big joke.

An ordinary man delusionally wants to pull out the agarwood that they can't pull out by a group of mountain people, which is simply a fool's dream.

"Look, he's going to do it. A loud reminder suddenly came from the crowd that slowly gathered up.

So everyone's eyes looked towards the northwest corner of the city, and sure enough, the nameless young man was holding the hilt of the sword with both hands, bending down to pull out the sword body of the agarwood.

It's just that the green tendons on his forehead are like dragons, and his face is as red as a cloud, and he doesn't see the slightest abnormality in the black sword in his hand.

"What an ordinary man!" After seeing the demeanor of the young man in Mai drawing his sword, everyone burst into laughter after finally confirming that he had no spiritual power to cultivate, "The grasshopper shakes the tree, and it is beyond its own strength!"

Because it was far away and Mai's mind was all on the black sword in his hand, he didn't hear the laughter of the group of monks gathered around him to watch the excitement.

Of course, even if he hears it, he won't care.

Because he had to pull out the black sword, which he didn't know much about, but had only heard of it.

"Why do you think this person's back is a little familiar?" someone in the crowd said suspiciously, squinting at the back.

"Do you think that person looks like the guy in Dong Kee's wine shop?"

"Hey, don't say it, it's really like. Naturally, there were people in the crowd who had been to Dong Kee Liquor Shop, so after seeing the already familiar back and being reminded by someone, he immediately said for sure.

"It's just that you said that he didn't serve tea and pour wine in the wine shop, how could he come here to bring humiliation on himself, could it be to prove that he is not a mortal?" someone boldly speculated.

Of course, this ill-intentioned speculation seems quite self-righteous and malicious.

"I don't think so. Someone in the crowd was finally willing to speak for this young man in Mai and said, "I often go to Dong Ji Wine Shop, so I am familiar with him." ”

The one who spoke was an old man with a withered face, although he was already a lot old, he was only a cultivator in the infant realm, and he should belong to the kind of monk who had rare talents and understanding.

"I can talk to this kid too. The old man said leisurely: "His name is Zeng Niu, he is a long-term worker of Dong Ji Wine Shop, he is down-to-earth and willing to endure hardships, even if he is a wine shop shopkeeper with a strange temperament, he has nothing to say to such a guy." ”

"That doesn't stop him from being stupid. A tall and strong man said coldly with his arms around his chest.

The old man did not deny it when he heard this, the other party was a Qi practitioner of the Heavenly Phase, and the sentence just now not only did not put Zeng Niu in his eyes, but also did he not put himself, an old man who was about to rotten wood, in his eyes.

He is confident that he can still hear this after living for most of his life.

It's just that he is very strange, according to Zeng Niu's honest temperament, he would not do such a ridiculous thing.

On weekdays, if he accidentally knocked over a wine bowl, he would be embarrassed to the point that his cheeks would turn red, and he would never believe that he would do such a ridiculous act in front of everyone for no reason.

The old man, who might not be able to go any further on the avenue in his life, looked at the back with deep eyes, and his lips curled, "What's wrong with you kid?"

As for the young man in Mai named Zeng Niu, he still clenched the hilt of the sword with both hands, because of the excessive force on his arms, which caused a spasm and trembling, and the palms that were already covered with calluses had blood flowing out, but even so, he still had no intention of letting go.

Zeng Niu bit his lip tightly, and his lips were already obviously bruised, and blood slowly overflowed from the corners of his mouth, but his eyes were still fixed on the half of the sword body, and his expression was unshakable.

"I'll prove that my brother is not a deserter!" he muttered with a pained expression on his lips.

It's just that this sentence is too slight for the crowd watching the excitement in the distance behind him not to hear it, nor does the old man who often goes to the liquor store.

That way, no one will probably hear it.

Dongjia wine shop.

Dong Ji liquor shop has been open in Jibing Town for more than ten years, and the shopkeeper of the liquor shop is an old man who is over half a year old.

The guys in the shop have changed several waves of people coming and going, and as the shopkeeper, he also sees it very openly, after all, the phrase "the guy who beats the shop with iron and runs water" came out of his Dong Ji wine shop.

But among all the guys he had seen, only the young man named Zeng Niu was the most reassuring to him, or the most suitable for him.

Because of this, he valued Zeng Niu very much, and even thought that if he waited until the day when he really couldn't move his legs and couldn't walk, he would give this shop half away and half sell the land to Zeng Niu.

After all, the Dong family can no longer put pen to paper on the genealogy of their own generation.

If you die, you will die, but the liquor store that has poured half of your life into it can't just be abandoned.

But how could that kid do such a stupid thing?! Did he really believe the dogs* that the Overseers had made?

"Shopkeeper, I heard that your fellow went to the northwest corner of the city, and he stood and wanted to pull out the black sword, but he was really majestic. A man as thin as a monkey pushed open the closed door of the store and said with a smile.

But anyone could hear the sarcasm in his words.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Because there was a lack of Zeng Niu in the store, and he happened to be depressed because of that bad thing, he simply decided to close the door today, and the old shopkeeper who graduated from the wine vat was standing in front of the wine vat to seal the vat of Xinghua Village that he had just brewed.

Hearing that the door of the store was pushed open, the old shopkeeper looked back at the man who was a regular customer but was extremely annoying, snorted coldly, and turned away again.

Because the man, nicknamed "Skinny Monkey", already owes several pages of wine money in his account book, he is simply a complete drunkard.

"Look at the old shopkeeper, you don't look like you're doing business at all, no wonder Dong's wine has been open for more than ten years and is still not very prosperous. The thin monkey approached the store and looked around, then his eyes fell back on the shopkeeper and said with a smile.

He naturally saw that the shopkeeper didn't want to see him, but he didn't mind, and he came here today to mock him.

"The guy in your store named Zeng Niu is out of luck, I really didn't expect that the shopkeeper is still Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in your wine shop. The thin monkey picked a bench and sat down idly, stepped on the chair, and said with great mockery.

"This is a matter of his own cattle, and it has nothing to do with our Dong Kee Wine Shop. The old shopkeeper touched the edge of the vat and said in a vicissitudes of voice.

The thin monkey laughed, and said gloomily: "It's not right for you to say that, the shopkeeper, now there is already a sea of people in the northwest corner, and the big guys want to see who this Zeng Niu, who fought for his life to pull out the black sword, is sacred." ”

"Hey, if you want me to say, what kind of master is that, it's just a guy who walked out of your Dong family's wine shop. ”

The thin monkey took off his shoes and buckled the seams of his toes, then put them in front of his nose and sniffed them, and then rubbed his hands contentedly.

"Are you finished?" said the shopkeeper in a cold voice, turning abruptly and staring at the famous ruffian in the alleys of the city.

Although he was rumored to have a strange temperament because he was extremely harsh on the liquor shop's fellows, he had never made a face to the liquor store customers for more than ten years, and always greeted them with a smile.

It was the first time he had glared at a guest who had walked through the door in such a way, and of course the latter was not really a guest.

"Look at the old shopkeeper, what are you anxious about, am I not joking with you?" Seeing the old shopkeeper's gloomy face, the thin monkey hurriedly put his feet down from the bench and said with a smile on his face.

As the saying goes, rabbits bite when they are in a hurry, if this old thing really fights with himself for that Zeng Niu, it is too cost-effective for himself.

"Let's go. The old shopkeeper, who felt that there was no need to be angry with a ruffian like him, put down the rag in his hand, gently patted the dust on his robe, and said in a deep voice.

"I'll go, I'll go. The thin monkey licked his lips and stood up: "I know that you have always regarded Zeng Niu as half a son, but this time I am afraid that you are asking the white-haired person to send the black-haired person." ”

"Get out!"

When the old shopkeeper heard this, he scolded angrily, and immediately lifted the bench and was about to smash it at the thin monkey, but the thin monkey hurriedly ran out of the shop.

"Old fellow, you just wait to collect the body of that Zeng Niu who doesn't know how thick the sky is!" the thin monkey standing outside the wine shop pointed to the wine shop and shouted.

Immediately after that, a bench flew out of the shop, and the thin monkey hurriedly dodged it, and the bench fell on the street with a "clang", frightening passers-by to avoid it.

The thin monkey spat at the door of the liquor store and turned around to leave, but accidentally bumped into a white shadow when he turned around.

"I don't have long eyes!" said the skinny monkey who was hit and stumbled and almost fell to the ground, clutching his chest and scolding.

It's just that the man in white who was hit didn't react to his scolding, just glanced at him lightly.

The thin monkey who was glanced at by the man in white suddenly felt cold all over, and cold sweat flowed on his forehead.

He only felt that after seeing the good-looking but expressionless man in white in front of him, he couldn't move anymore as if he had lost his strength, but he didn't know that it was because of the strong spiritual pressure that rippled on the man's body.

"Get out of the way. The man in white said indifferently.

The thin monkey swallowed a mouthful of saliva quietly, and strangely enough, after the man in white finished saying that, he found that his legs were sceptible again.

So he hurriedly stood aside, and after a series of strange things, he completely dispelled the idea of troublesome for him.

"Thank you. The man in white nodded slightly and paced forward.

Seeing the man in white slowly walking in front of him, he could even see the tear mole under the corner of his eye, and the ruffian who was called the thin monkey didn't dare to take a breath.

He had a hunch that if he had attacked him at that time, he would not know how he would have died in the end.

The man in white only took two steps forward before stopping, looking at the bench under his feet that had broken a broken leg, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Finally, under the gaze of the thin monkey, he slowly squatted down and lifted the bench, then turned his head to look at the shop called Dong Kee Wine Store next to the long street on the right, and after a moment of silence, his eyes raised slightly, and finally turned around and stepped on the steps and stepped into the shop full of wine.

With the disappearance of the man in white, the thin monkey was finally able to move freely, at least he could sit on the side of the road and gasp for breath.

He wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and the clothes on his body were soaked as if they had just been fished out of the water.

The thin monkey who seemed to have walked back from the ghost gate glanced at the door of the liquor store in horror, and quickly withdrew his gaze.

Although he didn't know where the man in white came from, as a ruffian in this area, fighting and beating each other was commonplace, and he could be sure that the young man in white who looked young had died on his hands, and there was more than one!

"Didn't they all tell you to go?!" As soon as the man in white stepped into the liquor store, he heard a scolding full of anger.

He didn't make a sound, just put down the stool and chair in his hand gently, opened his lips lightly, and said in a warm voice: "Two pots of Xinghua Village, take them away." ”

The old shopkeeper with his back to the door of the shop heard the sound behind him and thought it was the thin monkey who had gone and returned, but he could hear from the voice that the person was not a thin monkey, so he hurriedly put down the work in his hand and turned around.

"I'm sorry, Childe, I heard the wrong person. The old shopkeeper hurriedly apologized and said.

"Two pots of apricot blossom village, take away. The young man in white repeated again.

"Alright, this son, wait a moment. The old shopkeeper nodded and said with a smile on his face.

The young man in white nodded, and stood there quietly without answering.

See you at the old shopkeeper

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Shaking his head without a trace, he had never seen such a strange guest in all the years he had been running a wine shop.

Not only is the word like gold, but the whole body exudes a kind of indifference that rejects people thousands of miles away, although you don't see his anger, but you don't dare to get too close to him.

The young man in white took advantage of the old shopkeeper's efforts to make wine for himself, looked around the wine shop, and saw a wooden sign with his name engraved on the wall.

He noticed that there were three wooden plaques in total, but only two on the wall, except for the middle one.

"Shopkeeper, why don't you see the guys in the shop?" the young man in white walked to the wall and asked lightly.

"It's a little unreasonable for you to be the only one left in such a big shop. ”

"Let Childe see and smile. The old shopkeeper said with a wry smile while sipping wine: "It's not that they have to leave by themselves, I was going to rest for a day today, so I didn't let them come over to help." ”

"What about this?" the young man in white asked, pointing to the gap between the two wooden signs.

Hearing the young man in white ask, the old shopkeeper stopped the action of drinking in his hand, sighed and said leisurely: "It seems that Gongzi is not from here. ”

The young man in white nodded and admitted calmly, "It's from somewhere else." ”

He didn't say whether he came from the west or east of the city, but the old shopkeeper who knew countless people already had a guess in his heart, most of them were from the east of the city, after all, there was no young man with such a well-dressed dress on the Great Wall of Lishan.

"The missing wooden sign originally said Zeng Niu. The old shopkeeper rubbed his wrinkled face and said.

The young man in white still looked at the vacant position, stood with his hands in his hands, and asked lightly, "Are you dead or gone?"

"Nope. The old shopkeeper shook his head, "It's just that according to that kid's stubbornness, most of the time he won't be able to come back." ”

Hearing this, the young man in white turned around, looked at the old shopkeeper at the counter, and said, "Actually, I'm not in a hurry. ”

The implication is that if you are the shopkeeper, you will listen to me.

"Actually, there is nothing. The old shopkeeper said that his expression was a little lonely, "In the past, everyone knew that there was a shop guy named Zeng Niu in Dong Ji Wine Shop, and I believe that soon everyone in the town will know that Zeng Niu walked out of Dong Ji Wine Shop." ”

"Zeng Niu. The young man in white repeated the name again.

"That's right. The old shopkeeper gently put the pot of Xinghuacun on the counter.

"Maybe no one except me knows why Zeng Niu lost his mind and went crazy to pull out the black sword in the northwest corner. ”

"Black sword?" the white-clothed young man muttered, "Is that the agarwood?"

"Yes, it seems that the sword is called agarwood. The old shopkeeper nodded and said.

"In fact, how can Zeng Niu pull out the agarwood, he is not a mountain man, why does he think that a flat-headed person can be better than those cultivators?" the old shopkeeper asked angrily as if he was angry.

The young man in white rubbed the jade pendant on his waist and smiled without saying a word.

"Before that, even I didn't know that Zeng Niu actually had an older brother. Although the old shopkeeper spoke, the movements of his hands did not stop, "Although he is a half-brother, he is also a blood relative, although Zeng Niu has never mentioned his brother to me, but he must have great respect for this eldest brother, otherwise he would not have listened to the words of those people who were made by the Overseer, and insisted on pulling out the agarwood." ”

"Overseer?" The young man in white frowned slightly when he heard this, in fact, he knew that this organization existed.

As the name suggests, the Overseer is the Inspector of Military Regulations, but after Wu Qi became a general, the Overseer, who already had a lot of power, was even more "in full swing".

As long as there are deserters on the battlefield, they will register their surnames and places of origin, and they will be sent back to the town of Bing, and then verified by the city lord's mansion of the town of Jibing and then sent back to their clan and clan.

It was only later that the place responsible for the nuclear test on the side of the town was transferred from the city lord's mansion to the town of Fusi's office.

But even so, as long as the black and white pamphlet is handed back, no matter where the person is, his clan, blood relatives, relatives, friends, and himself have been nailed to the pillar of shame, and unless this nail is destroyed or rehabilitated, they will never turn over.

It's just that now he heard from the old shopkeeper that the Overseer had crossed the Zhenfu Sifu Mansion and found Zeng Niu directly, which was not in line with the rules and regulations.

"That's right, it's the Overseers who made those people. "Everything that happened that day is still vivid in my mind.

"Shopkeeper, do you know which military camp Zeng Niu's eldest brother is in the Great Wall?" asked the young man in white.

"Childe, what are you doing asking about this?" the old shopkeeper asked puzzled.

Ever since this young man in white came in, he had a cold and indifferent expression, but it seemed that he had been quite interested since he mentioned Zeng Niu, could it be that he came specifically for Zeng Niu?

Thinking of this, the old shopkeeper looked at him with a little more vigilance in his eyes.

The young man in white naturally noticed the change in the shopkeeper's expression towards him, but he didn't take it to heart, it was just human nature.

"I'm going to rush back to the Great Wall now, and if I have time, I'll verify this for Brother Zeng. The young man in white arched his hand and said.

"Really?" said the old shopkeeper with an excited expression when he heard that the young man in white was willing to help.

That's why he didn't notice that in that sentence just now, he was talking about going back to the Great Wall, not going to the Great Wall.

He was originally from the Great Wall of Lishan.

"I've never lied. The young man in white replied in a deep voice.

"'Okay, okay, I said. The shopkeeper put down the flask in his hand, "The overseer who came to the wine shop before found Zeng Niu directly after identifying himself with us, saying that his eldest brother, as a soldier of the Hongluan Battalion of the Great Qin Tiger Division, escaped from the battle after encountering the enemy, and has been dealt with by their military law. ”

"At that time, Zeng Niu looked incredulous, and bluntly said that it was impossible, but how could one person's words be worthy of the Overseer's words, and finally before leaving, one of the Overseers turned to Zeng Niu, who was still unable to accept this reality, and said: "If you really want to prove your eldest brother's innocence, it is not impossible, as long as you can pull out the black sword in the northwest corner, I can determine that your eldest brother is not a deserter, and I will posthumously crown your eldest brother as a martyr." ’”

So Zeng Niu went to the northwest corner. The old shopkeeper rubbed the clay wine jug in his hand and said in a hoarse voice.

"That's right. The young man in white said with emotion after hearing the words of the shopkeeper of the wine shop.

"I see. ”

After leaving such a sentence, he stepped out of this Dong Ji wine shop, and even forgot to take the two altars of Xinghua Village that had been built.
