By the time the three of them came out of the county office, it was already dark.

Without the sunlight, coupled with the heavy snow yesterday, the weather was a little too cold, and even Yu Yi shivered.

Xiao Feng frowned slightly, tightened the big coat on his body, turned his head to Li Yun beside him and smiled and asked, "Brother Li, are you going to Taoyuan Residence today?"

"Tomorrow, it's not too early," Li Yun thought for a while and said, "After all, if you go to that kind of place now, if you go now, let the virtuous brother suffer, it's not for the brother." ”

"Hmm. Ignoring Li Yun's nonsense in the second half of the sentence, Xiao Feng nodded lightly.

"Then now, how about picking up the wind and washing the dust for your brother?" Before Xiao Feng could say anything, Li Yun said in a slightly bold tone.

On the side, Yu Yiyan frowned. was about to say something, but saw that Xiao Feng had already taken the first step to speak. He raised his head slightly, looked at Li Yun, who was full of smiles and expectations between his eyebrows, nodded very seriously, and said, "I'll decide that place." ”

Yu Yi suddenly had a bad premonition. He knows Xiao Feng much better than Li Yun: the more luxurious and exquisite the place that others choose, the better, but the more casual Xiao Feng is, the better, even if he finds a roadside stall at random.

Sure enough, Xiao Feng said next: "I remember that when I came, I seemed to pass by a tavern called 'Wine Fragrance Restaurant', how about going there?"

The wine restaurant, which sounds like a good name, is actually a tavern with an extremely simple façade. Because it is located in a very good location in the county, the peddlers and pawns in the tavern can be seen everywhere, and the people come and go very lively, and the business is very prosperous. However, the flaws in the specifications, coupled with the confusion, rarely go there for people with a little status.

This time, not only Yu Yi frowned, but even Li Yun couldn't sit still, "Otherwise, let's go to Yunzhen Tower, anyway, I'm in for a treat." Just down the other street not far from the tavern, the signature dish is famous. ”

Although Yunzhen Building is not as good as the restaurant in the rich land, it can be regarded as neat and exquisite.

Yu Yi's brows stretched slightly.

"There," Xiao Feng looked pitiful, frowning and muttering to himself, "What a gentle name, it doesn't seem to be suitable for me." ”

The corners of Li Yun's mouth twitched, this excuse ......

Generally speaking, as long as Xiao Feng decides something, it is almost a certainty, and the possibility of change is very small. Therefore, although Li Yun looked reluctant, and Yu Yi's brows were almost wrinkled into the word 'Sichuan', the two still raised the white flag under Xiao Feng's tongue lotus.

The streets were full of people, shouting and shouting: sloppy old men pushing wooden carts loaded with swill, children laughing and shouting around the candy man stalls, women haggling with bamboo baskets, and young men busy carrying goods with sweat towels around their necks..... Some people casually walked out of the crowd and into the shop, and some came out of the shop to blend in with the crowd...... The downtown is always the world of peddlers and pawns, but there is chaos but subtle order.

On the carriage, Xiao Feng looked at the busy traffic, silent, and there was no emotion in his light eyes.

Finally, the carriage arrived at its destination, a large courtyard with a façade sign in the downtown area that had almost faded, and the three big characters of 'Wine Fragrance House' were written crookedly.

To tell the truth, even this arrangement is conspicuous enough in the downtown area.

After getting out of the carriage, Xiao Feng seemed to be blind to the dilapidated wine hall, Shi Shiran went to the tavern, followed by Yu Yi with an expressionless face and Li Yun with a reluctant face.

It stands to reason that the three of them are obviously people with extraordinary identities, and their sudden appearance here will inevitably cause a lot of commotion and a lot of inquiring eyes. But the fact is that except for Li Yun being whispered, Xiao Feng and Yu Yi almost didn't attract people's attention, which made Li Yun very strange.

Although the wine restaurant does not know whether its wine is fragrant or not, it is undeniable that its business is absolutely prosperous, as can be seen from the endless stream of diners coming in and out.

There is a fence around the restaurant, although it has been crooked and dilapidated, but it just separates the downtown from the wine hall, giving people a feeling that it not only blocks out the noise of the downtown but also provides a place for pedestrians to rest. Regardless of the food and drink, the tavern looks very attractive from the outside.

Turn into the fence and you'll find an open space. There are a lot of wine jars in the open space, which are messy but not very dirty, but they complement the simplicity of the tavern.

Xiao Feng looked left and right, admiring the messy environment, and felt that this store was also a wonderful person, and took the lead in the direction of the fence.

Leng Buding's side suddenly panicked and ran to a reader.

The entrance to the fence was not spacious, and the scholar ran in a hurry, almost colliding with Xiao Feng.

Fortunately, although Xiao Feng was absent-minded, his reaction was not slow, and he flashed to the side quickly.

When he looked up again, he saw that the scholar didn't even pay attention to Xiao Feng, and went straight into the tavern without looking back.

Xiao Feng frowned a little displeased, but he didn't think about anything. It's just that when he looked at the back of the reader entering the tavern, there was a flash of doubt in his eyes.

Yu Yi took a deep look at the back of the scholar, and the wooden face, which was already expressionless, was even colder.

The smart eyes turned, Xiao Feng grabbed Li Yun, who was about to open his mouth to scold, shook his head at him, and then turned his head to Yu Yi and shook his head slightly. After that, as if nothing had happened, Xiao Feng walked into the tavern casually, and randomly found an empty place that could accommodate three people and sat down.

Seeing that Xiao Feng didn't want to deal with that person, Li Yun could only shut up, and after glaring at the back of the scholar viciously, he also followed Xiao Feng to sit in the empty seat.

Yu Yi was already looking at Xiao Feng's horse, so naturally he had no objections.

The tavern was full of people coming and going, the hustle and bustle, and the sound of drinking, fisting, and shouting was one after another, which was not much quieter than the downtown at all.

Li Yun looked around with a critical face, obviously very unaccustomed to eating in this kind of place.

Yu Yi frowned, looking eager to leave quickly.

However, Xiao Feng's expression was indifferent, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, thinking that he should think that this place was very interesting. Although he has a quiet personality, it is undeniable that a crowded and noisy place will always give birth to an inexplicable sense of reality, and people can easily see the various states of life, so for Xiao Feng, although the people in the tavern are only peddlers and pawns, the feasible people are of different colors, just like another kind of life, so lively, and if it is quiet for a long time and occasionally appreciated, it is like 'I haven't seen novelty for a long time, but now I suddenly see it,' which is extremely interesting. So at this time, Xiao Feng was very comfortable listening to Li Yun's order, and while enjoying the hustle and bustle, he only felt very interesting.

Quietly and patiently watching the noise in the tavern, a person suddenly appeared in Xiao Feng's sight.

The man was dressed as a Confucian student, and he was talking to the shopkeeper at this time, and he kept gesturing in his hands, as if he was asking something, it was the scholar who almost collided with Xiao Feng. The reader seems to be down-and-out, but it still gives people a sense of elegance and elegance, which naturally makes people feel comfortable and intimate, and feel extraordinary.

Xiao Feng glanced at the scholar a few times, more sure of what he thought, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, he stretched out his fingers and lightly tapped the table a few times, and said to Yu Yi half-jokingly: "Uncle Yu, help me teach me a lesson." ”

Yu Yi was slightly stunned, and then reacted, "Is there a problem with the reader?"

Xiao Feng smiled lightly, and did not answer directly, but shook his hand in front of the two of them, "See for yourself." ”

Yu Yi and the others were stunned, and then reacted, and the four sharp eyes immediately shot straight towards the counter.

The martial artist's eyesight is already excellent, not to mention that the wine hall is not particularly large, and the position of the three of them is not particularly far from the counter. Therefore, even the details of the cocoon on their hands can be seen clearly.

After a while, the two of them withdrew their gazes and looked at Xiao Feng as if they didn't understand.

Seeing that the two of them were confused, Xiao Feng lowered his voice and explained: "That person is obviously a scholar, how can there be so many calluses in the palm of his hand?

The secular world has been peaceful for nearly a thousand years since it was divided into three parts of the world a thousand years ago. With the rapid economic and political development, the status of scholars has gradually improved, and the emphasis on literature over military affairs, and the emphasis on literature over agriculture has almost become deep-rooted. Therefore, for most readers, 'the food that comes to you cannot be eaten, and the backbone of the scholar cannot be abandoned' has almost become instinctive. To put it simply, for most readers, even if they really starve to death, they will not lose their face because of their livelihood.

Li Yu and the two were stunned.

Xiao Feng continued: "Moreover, the speed at which he entered the tavern before me seemed to be a little faster, and his pace was too steady, so I think this person should have practiced martial arts." ”

Yu Yi looked up at Xiao Feng with a little surprise, "Can't the young master notice that he has a cultivation?" If it was normal, Xiao Feng would never explain this, because there was no need.

Xiao Feng nodded, his words were not said to Li Yun, "That's why I'm strange." Although the status of martial artists is not higher than that of literati, their status is definitely not low. And generally speaking, a scholar who does not have a reputation is not considered a scholar, so his status is slightly inferior to that of a martial artist. Looking at what he was wearing, it was obvious that he had no merit. In this case, since he practiced martial arts, why did he still show himself as a weak scholar?"

Yu Yi lowered his head and pondered, "Then go down and test it?"

Xiao Feng smiled with satisfaction, he meant exactly that.

was about to nod, but a person next to him suddenly volunteered: "Let Brother Wei go, things are guaranteed to be done properly." ”

Li Yun has not traveled with Xiao Feng once or twice, and he is not surprised by Xiao Feng's whims, but this time he is really curious about what Xiao Feng's master and servant are going to do, and he has been entangled in the question of whether people can be martial arts or not. But he really couldn't say a word, so when he heard Yu Yi say that he wanted to test it, he immediately raised his interest, so he had to intervene anyway. No, before Xiao Feng could reply, Li Yun got up hurriedly and walked towards the counter, as if he was afraid that someone would rob him.

Xiao Feng opened his mouth, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally pouted helplessly, a little speechless.

What's there to fight about this kind of thing, is it fun?

The two looked quietly from afar, only to see Li Yun first say hello to the shopkeeper, and then gently didn't know what to say to the scholar, suddenly his face sank, and he grabbed the scholar with one claw.

The scholar obviously didn't expect Li Yun to make a sudden move, so he took a few steps back in embarrassment, narrowly avoiding Li Yun's claws.

After that, Li Yun took out six palms and three legs in a row, all of which were narrowly avoided by scholars.

This luck is simply too good.

After several failed moves, Li Yun felt very faceless, and his eyes were a little red. gritted his steel teeth, and then whipped his leg and beckoned to the scholar.

Seeing that Li Yun was almost anxious, he was about to really fight.

At this moment, the scholar's luck seemed to be used up at once, and he tripped himself to the ground. Although Li Yun's move was narrowly avoided, if there was no accident, Li Yun's next move would inevitably be unavoidable.

The crowd booed.

"How is it?" Xiao Feng, who was watching from afar, raised his eyebrows and asked calmly at Yu Yi, looking at the crowd of people surrounding him.

"It's a bit of a shelf, but the foundation is thin, and the experience is not enough, and the subordinates guess that they didn't start from a young age. It's quite smart, the timing is pretty good, and the body is also smart. "As a carefully cultivated guard in the imperial city, Yu Yi's eyesight is naturally not much worse.

Xiao Feng smiled approvingly, narrowing his eyes slightly, "It's true that I haven't been practicing martial arts for a long time, and my foundation is normal." But have you ever noticed that the rhythm of his breathing is strange. ”

"Strange?" Yu Yi was slightly surprised, looked at the crowd seriously, and said cautiously: "It seems to be too long?"

"Hmm!" Xiao Feng nodded again and added, "It's not just long, there seems to be a rhythm as well, as if it ...... He's taking a breath, and it's funny. Xiao Feng's starry eyes shone with curiosity, as if a child had encountered a novel toy.

Yu Yi frowned and hesitated: "Young Master, that ......" just came out of the Ethereal Building, Yu Yi felt that it was better to have one thing than one thing, and he didn't want to provoke others at will.

"Why don't you investigate? Of course you have to investigate, and you must investigate it carefully!" Before Yi finished speaking, Xiao Feng seemed to see through his thoughts, interrupted his words, and said, "You only guessed that his origin is mysterious, which ignores a very important point: if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger?" He still smiled calmly, but his words were undisguised as full of interest and unreliable.

"Young Master!" Yu Yi's brows furrowed tighter, and he said in a deep voice.

Xiao Feng sighed, not ready to tease him again, "Uncle Yu, you are still too impatient." You always think that more things are better than less, but how can we stay out of the rivers and lakes when we are in the rivers and lakes? Have you ever thought about what would happen if one day, a large number of masters in the rivers and lakes could be like this scholar? There are some things that you can't just dodge if you want to. ”

Yu Yi's face became solemn.

Xiao Feng smiled casually, "However, I thought that he would be able to completely cover up his cultivation, but I never thought that he was also a chicken rib." I just don't know if he doesn't have enough status, the secret method he cultivates is incomplete, or the secret method is like this. If it's the latter, then I'm really happy. His words were casual, but the meaning of his words was not at all arbitrary.

Yu Yi looked at Xiao Feng with a solemn face, and was speechless for a while.

Xiao Feng watched Li Yun perform in the distance, and continued to rush Yu Yi and said, "By the way, you have been a little absent-minded since you saw Li County's order, what do you want to ask?"

Yu Yi hesitated and said, "Young Master, there is no need for Li Zhongken to misunderstand. ”

"Oh, I would have explained that later. Xiao Feng retracted his gaze and said calmly, "There is always fate scattered when fate gathers, and it is better to cut through the mess quickly than to be indecisive." ”

Yu Yi was silent.

Although there was some speculation before, when he really faced the facts, Yu Yi couldn't help but have a bad premonition in his heart.

Xiao Feng looked at Yu Yi calmly and explained: "The rivers and lakes will be very chaotic in the future, if he is involved with me, I may not be able to protect him thoroughly." That is, I want to take advantage of the situation myself, and there is no need to involve irrelevant people.

Yu Yi didn't understand and frowned.

Xiao Feng saw that Yu Yi was pondering, neither meaning to explain, nor intending to disturb him again, turned his head to look at Li Yun. Seeing that there was almost a commotion over there, he waved at him.

Li Yun happened to see it, and immediately understood, pretending to be annoyed, kicked the poor scholar's feet again, and scolded twice as if venting, and finally turned around and walked in the direction of the Eight Immortals Table where Xiao Feng was located. At first glance, it looks high-spirited, but if you look closely, it makes people feel a little upset, and they are very dog-legged.

Xiao Feng shook his head helplessly. Suddenly, as if thinking of something, he looked at Li Yun who came over, and smiled with great pleasure.

"A good news, a bad news, which one to listen to first?" After Li Yun sat down, Xiao Feng asked with a smile.

"Huh?" Li Yun was stunned, then looked at Xiao Feng's too pleasant little face and said vigilantly, "Why do you feel that you are smiling a little gloating?"

"Is there one?" Xiao Feng looked at Yu Yi innocently, with an innocent expression.

"Nope. "Yu Yi really deserves to be a model for the protector, and he united with Xiao Feng without thinking about it.

"Oh," Li Yun looked at Yu Yi and Xiao Feng suspiciously, "Listen to the good news first." ”

"Well," Xiao Feng showed such a playful smile and said with a smile: "The good news is that, as I expected, that scholar is indeed a great master, and he is the kind that has entered the product." ”

Martial arts cultivation is divided into the first glimpse of the doorway, ascending to the hall and entering the room, the day after tomorrow, the innate four realms. Among them, the first glimpse of the door and the entrance to the hall belong to the foundation of martial arts, and they cannot be regarded as stepping into the martial arts. The rivers and lakes are divided in this way, and so are the rest of the three empires. Therefore, it is not wrong to say that the scholar is a great master.

The expression on Li Yun's face froze, and he was about to scold. What kind of good news is this? He didn't think that if he provoked someone casually, he would be able to beat several of his own with one hand, and this luck would be too good.

Without waiting for Li Yun to sigh, Xiao Feng continued to laugh and groan: "The bad news is that after today, the news of Li Dajun's bullying of the weak and poor scholars will reach the county magistrate. ”

Li Yun's face darkened completely.

Xiao Feng leaned back and closed with a smile on the side.

At this moment, the dishes ordered by Li Yun also began to be served one by one.

It is worthy of being the head of Anyang County, and you can see that all kinds of fish and meat dishes are placed on a table, and you can see how generous it is.

But when the last dish was served, the smile on Xiao Feng's face, who was originally happy, suddenly collapsed. Because of the shiny oil, Xiao Feng really couldn't get off the chopsticks.

Xiao Feng's diet is already fine, and in the past few years, as his body has deteriorated, especially in the past, Xiao Feng has not seen anything too greasy for a long time.

Speechlessly, he glanced at Li Yun with a black face, and Xiao Feng suddenly had a feeling that he couldn't live because of his own sin.

This is retribution!

Fortunately, Xiao Feng has never been informal, and he doesn't greet Li Yun, and he very consciously ordered a sweet porridge for himself, which made Li Yun stare at him and be depressed for a long time.

After a while, the sweet porridge was also served in front of Xiao Feng. The excessively sweet aroma wafted to the tip of his nose, and Xiao Feng frowned slightly.

Secretly sighed that the store was real, Xiao Feng still dispelled the idea of changing the bowl again.

With a slight movement in his heart, Xiao Feng raised his head and stopped the guy who was about to leave, "Please wait a moment." ”

The guy is seventeen or eighteen years old, with a tiger head and a white towel around his neck, and he looks very smart. Seeing Xiao Feng shouting at him, he very consciously lowered his head and came to Xiao Feng's side a few steps away, and asked in a slightly flattering tone, "What do you have to tell the little boy?"

It's also a shame that he wasn't in the lobby just now, otherwise if he had seen Li Yun teach that scholar a lesson before, he wouldn't know what his expression would be now.

Xiao Feng smiled at him friendly, and very sophisticatedly took out two taels of broken silver from Li Yun's arms and put them on the table, "It's just to ask something, I don't know if it's inconvenient." "It's not that Xiao Feng doesn't want to take out his own silver, it's that Xiao Feng usually doesn't have silver on him, because these things have always been carried by Yu Yi.

The corners of Li Yun's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart: "Although I don't care much about you taking two taels of silver from me, isn't it a bit too much for you to be so casual." ”

At this time, Xiao Feng didn't seem to feel anything, and turned around and smiled innocently at Li Yun.

Li Yun lost his temper in an instant, and he had to worry about this little ancestor, so he might as well prepare the tofu first.

The man looked at the broken silver on the table, and his heart blossomed. Two taels of silver is about a few months' wages. Hurriedly responded: "Convenient, convenient." If the guest officer has anything to ask, just ask, the little one must know everything and say everything. Even if you don't know, the small ones can immediately ask you about it. ”

Xiao Feng bowed his head in satisfaction, and said with a slight curiosity in his casual tone: "Who was the person who was talking to the shopkeeper just now?" It was the scholar who passed by you and left the tavern just now. I think he seems to know the shopkeeper very well. "Because of the incident in front of the fence, Xiao Feng didn't plan to beat around the bush.

"Can you be unfamiliar, I gave our tavern a few taels of silver wine money on credit. The guy muttered with disdain. For a flat-headed ordinary person like a guy, a few taels of silver is really a lot of money.

Xiao Feng raised his eyebrows and waited for the following.

Seeing this, the man cleared his throat, for fear that Xiao Feng would be dissatisfied, and hurriedly explained: "That poor scholar, named Liu Yan, claims to be a scholar who travels to study, came here more than three months ago, and is very addicted to alcohol. He suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Do you know the peach king of Taoyuanju? As soon as he came, he staged a heroic rescue of beauty, and he also captured the heart of the beautiful woman by shit luck, "Speaking of which, even he himself was amazed, "It's a pity that it's an elm head, and he fell out with others in a month." I haven't been so addicted to alcohol, but recently I guess I'm using alcohol to drown my sorrows. I was also raised by Miss Taojun, and I didn't drink it even if it wasn't good wine, I used to have good wine and good food from Miss Taojun, of course, I didn't worry about it, but now it's good, I can't even pay for wine, right?" Although the man's voice was low, the schadenfreude in his tone was obvious.
