Outside the Jincheng General's Mansion, there was a person kneeling.

Fortunately, it was late at night, and the street had long since lost its earlier noise.

Otherwise, someone would be able to recognize the man who was kneeling respectfully under the plaque of the Wei Mansion hanging on the door.

In Jincheng and even in the entire Shuzhou, it is enough to be called the lord of the iron-clothed gate of a giant, the iron slave.

This man, who is rarely provoked in the rivers and lakes of Shuzhou, is kneeling there trembling and frightened at this moment, his head prostrate very low, but he does not dare to complain at all.

The entire street in front of the general's mansion was blocked by the iron-clad men who exuded a fierce aura from top to bottom.

It's just that these men who are extremely arrogant and domineering on weekdays have far more fear in their eyes than fierceness.

In this river and lake, the most important thing is face.

Even if you were a giant in the past, once you lose face, the status and power of the rivers and lakes will inevitably fall to the bottom.

Therefore, the owner of the iron-clad gate can kneel, but he can't let outsiders know.

Inside the General's Palace, the lights are bright.

Jiang Xiaoman, along with Ji Xiaoyue and Xiao Ying, was invited into the general's mansion by the general named Wei Ran as a distinguished guest.

The Jiang Overseer, who swept through the entire wilderness with eight thousand flame iron horses in the early years, made arrangements early and passed down Jiang Xiaoman's portrait.

All the town officials subordinate to the border areas have the rank of captain or above, but all the young men who meet the portrait above the town guarding the city.

If you are worry-free, you will stay together in secret, and if you are in trouble, you will protect each other desperately.

Those who can sit in the high positions of the border army are no one who really knows how to fight.

With Wei Ran's thoughts, how could he not guess the identity of the young man on the portrait.

It's just that he didn't expect that this terrifying little boy would be in Jincheng in his own town.

Luckily, tonight came just in time, otherwise it would have been a dead end.

Therefore, together with Jiang Xiaoman, they were brought into the general's mansion together, as well as the second son who was most favored by the iron-clothed master and the old woman surnamed Mo.

The only difference is that Jiang Xiaoman's three people were brought into the mansion by General Wei in a luxury carriage.

And Tie Yu and the old woman were put into the prisoner car and escorted.

The old woman surnamed Mo originally wanted to resist, but how could the captain of Jincheng Shucheng be a vegetarian.

Even if you have cultivated to the Venerable Realm of the third level of martial arts, you will only be able to obediently tie your hands within ten moves.

is also in the Venerable Realm, but Wei Ran is a cultivator who fought in the battle of tens of millions of troops, and naturally it is not comparable to an old woman from the rivers and lakes.

The master of the army, which is not a bad spirit.

There are many more people who have been killed, and many more heads have been killed than those reckless men who have run rampant.

In terms of fighting against people and enemies alone, Wei Ran was already as tall as the old woman surnamed Mo by several floors.

"Little boy, the two people in the Iron Cloak Gate are still locked up in the dungeon, what do you think should be done?" Wei Ran stood sideways in front of the young man and asked cautiously.

Seriously, this general surnamed Wei is Jiang Ye's descendant, and there is nothing wrong with calling Jiang Xiaoman like this.

It's just that letting a general who dominate a city be treated like this, for Jiang Xiaoman, it is still a little uncomfortable.

Originally, he wanted to let Wei Ran sit down and talk, but General Jincheng, who was extremely cold in front of the iron-clad gate, said that he was respectful and orderly, and he couldn't mess with the rules.

In this way, he is not reluctant.

Although Jiang Xiaoman said that he wanted to walk on this river and lake, in the final analysis, he was still the child born in the door wall of the southern region, which was the tallest and difficult to climb over the door wall.

In the rivers and lakes, you can not abide by those cumbersome rules.

But now that he is in the general's mansion representing the imperial court, he can naturally understand the rules in this temple.

The rivers and lakes have rules for the rivers and lakes, and the temples also have them, and there are more.

No matter how simple your mind is, you can't mess with the rules.

Jiang Xiaoman leaned back in his chair, looked at Wei Ran standing in front of him, and asked with a chuckle: "General Wei, have you found out why this iron-clad sect colluded with the old woman surnamed Mo to kidnap Miss Xiao?"

Wei Ran nodded, took out a scroll from his arms, respectfully handed it to Jiang Xiaoman with both hands, and then said slowly: "According to the old woman named Mo Yu, there is a treasure bead inherited from her ancestor that later fell into the hands of the Xiao family.

So more than 30 years ago, she changed her face and joined the Xiao family as a servant, seventeen years ago, the Xiao family suffered, only she and the Xiao girl's mother were not in the house that day and survived.

The one who shot at the Xiao family was a prince of the Yu Dynasty in the Middle Domain, and according to Mo Yu, what he did was also that jewel. The prince who was able to cover the sky with one hand in the Central Domain couldn't find the orb in the end, so he was angry and wiped out the Xiao family. ”

"For the sake of a bead, he wiped out people, and now there are so many things involved. Jiang Xiaoman frowned and listened quietly, and finally tapped his fingers lightly on the round table, and asked softly, "Did she say what that jewel is?" ”

Ji Xiaoyue sat on the side, unconsciously stretched out a finger to rub the young man's eyebrows.

Before he lifted it, he fell down again, secretly stuck out his tongue, and almost showed his stuffing if he didn't pay attention.

"According to Mo Yu, that jewel is the dragon ball contained in the mouth of a snake that has turned into a dragon and soared!" After hesitating for a while, Wei Ran slowly opened his mouth and said truthfully to Jiang Xiaoman.

"Dragon Ball?" Jiang Xiaoman repeated secretly, his brows furrowed even tighter.

Beside her, the little girl who turned into a small hall couldn't help frowning, and her white fingers rose and fell, fell and raised, and ......

"Yes, it's Dragon Ball. Legend has it that if the snake has been practicing penance for 19,000 years and doing good deeds for many years, he will be able to get the mercy of heaven and descend the dragon calamity. If the dragon is successful, it will be able to soar and rank in the immortal class. Wei Ran nodded and said: "It is rumored that after Jiaohua transforms into a dragon, a dragon ball that gathers a body of cultivation and spiritual rhyme will be born in an instant, if someone can kill it at this time, they can get that dragon ball, and after swallowing it, they can achieve immortality and live with heaven and earth." ”

Wei Ran glanced at Xiao Ying, who was pale and stunned at this moment, and continued softly: "Miss Xiao's mother is the daughter of the head of the Xiao family, the Xiao family was wiped out, and the whereabouts of the dragon ball are naturally only known to Miss Xiao's mother, so Mo Yu will continue to play the role of a servant with peace of mind, serving Miss Xiao's mother until ......"

Speaking of this, I originally wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Xiao Ying's sudden opening.

"Until my mother died of illness, and then Granny Mo felt that her mother should tell me about the whereabouts of the Dragon Ball, so she followed her mother's instructions and brought me to the Southern Regions, but secretly wanted to learn the whereabouts of the Dragon Ball from me. Xiao Ying laughed softly, and her voice was very soft and low.

Although he was laughing, hot crystal water droplets slid down his cheeks and hit the table and the floor.

"If you hate her, I'll have General Wei put her to death now. Jiang Xiaoman looked at the woman beside him quietly and spoke softly.

Tears are the best way to vent a person's sadness, and a smile is the best way to express a person's joy.

It's easy to laugh, and it's not hard to cry.

The hard thing is to laugh and shed tears.

Only those who have truly experienced it will truly know what it feels like.

It is not the death of the heart, but it is better than the death of the heart.

Hate?

How to hate?

That used to be the person she thought loved her the most in the world except for her mother.

"General Wei, do you have any wine in your house?" Glancing at Miss Xiao who seemed to have lost her soul, Jiang Xiaoman turned her head and whispered to Wei Ran, "Don't be too strong, just make people drunk." ”

Suddenly, he wanted to drink, and wanted to have a drink with this beautiful Xiao girl, who was crying or laughing.

"Yes, someone gave me a jar of carved plum wine a few days ago, which is not strong, so I will bring it to my son. Wei Ran nodded, turned around and walked out of the hall, and went to the wine cellar to get wine in person.

The wine was originally brewed by him himself, and he planned to take it to the grave for his deceased wife in the next year.

Walking out of the hall, Wei Ran smiled lightly.

At the beginning, it seems that at this age, I met the girl who could make people drunk when she laughed, and later became her wife.

That year, he followed the eight generations of military candidates to fight a decisive battle.

The night before the expedition, she chuckled and said she would wait for him to return.

He looked at the pale face of his wife in his arms, and suddenly he didn't want to leave.

The million-dollar border army was reckless in a war, and he was awarded the title of General of Jincheng.

When Yijin returned, the woman who said she would wait for his return turned into a handful of loess.

The woman who likes to carve plum wine the most insisted on marrying him, a powerless border soldier, despite the opposition of her family.

She has endured hardships, hunger, and fatigue with him, but she has never enjoyed happiness.

It should have been blessed, but it never had a chance.

Therefore, every year, Wei Ran would brew a jar of his wife's favorite carved plum wine and bury it in the cellar.

The general returned from a hundred battles, and the most feared thing was that the red face would no longer be empty and white.

Some people make wine, some people make love.

The former is drunk with the heart, and the latter is drunk with the soul.

This carved plum wine, thinking about it, may be able to make Na Nizi forget the pain for a while.

......

After a while, Wei Ran walked into the house with a red wine jar.

Gently unsealing the mud, for a while the whole hall was full of wine.

"Little boy, that iron slave is still kneeling outside the mansion!" and ordered his subordinates to bring two stacks of delicious side dishes, Wei Ran paused and said, "What should I do with this iron-clad door." ”

"Let the old guy stop kneeling, and if you are embarrassed by your age, you can just pay two or three thousand taels of gold. Jiang Xiaoman frowned and thought about it seriously, and when he saw the little brother Yue beside him making a gesture to ask for money, he immediately understood, and said to General Wei with a chuckle: "In addition, General Lao Wei said that if the gold is not enough, it can be converted into silver tickets." ”

"Okay, I see, I'll go and talk to Iron Breaker. Wei Ran smiled, and secretly said that he was worthy of being the son of that adult, this style is really similar.

Three thousand taels of gold is not much, but it is more than half a year's income of the entire huge iron-clad gate.

But come to think of it, the Iron Gate Master should be very happy.

"Giggles, Jiang Daxia really has you, you can make so much money with your mouth!" Ji Xiaoyue has a pair of big eyes and is happy, this trip to the north follows Jiang Xiaoworm, it seems that there is no shortage of fragrant food and spicy food along the way.

"Don't talk about this first, there is a way to meet is fate, come, Brother Xiaoyue, let's accompany Miss Xiao to have a glass of wine. With a light sigh, Jiang Xiaoman picked up the wine jar and filled a glass for himself, and poured the wine cup in front of him for Ji Xiaoyue and Xiao Ying.

Pick up the wine glass and throw it up.

Sweet and sour in the throat, without a hint of spiciness.

This carved plum wine can really be called a rare wine.

It can be seen that the winemaker must have put a lot of effort into it.

Ji Xiaoyue didn't want to drink, she was afraid that she would lose her temper when she was drunk.

In case, let Jiang Xiaoworm realize his identity.

All of that was done was wasted.

The little girl doesn't want Jiang Xiaoman to know who she is so early!

Otherwise, wouldn't you lose the fun of walking all the way.

But when he saw Xiao Ying sitting there, he couldn't bear it, and drank a big cup with a muffled breath.

Smacking his lips, just when he felt that the taste was good, and he wanted to drink another glass.

The wine jar was snatched away by a pair of slender jade hands.

Xiao Ying snatched the wine jar, got up, then raised her head, and poured the jar of carved plum wine with the color of amber into her throat.

Ji Xiaoyue was stunned, and when she came back to her senses, she originally wanted to snatch the wine jar from Xiao Ying's hands, but was stopped by Jiang Xiaoman with a gentle wave of her hand.

Looking at Miss Xiao who was drinking like a man in front of her, Jiang Xiaoman said softly to Ji Xiaoyue: "Let her drink it, this wine is not high, only in this way will it really make people drunk." ”

Get drunk!

When you get drunk, you can feel better.

"Jiang Xiaoman!" drank half of the jar in one go, and soon two flying clouds rolled up on both sides of his cheeks, his eyes were hazy, Xiao Ying looked at the young man beside him who was quietly looking at him, and laughed softly: "Can you lend me your shoulder temporarily?"

This glance was full of tears and smiles, but it was full of charm.

The difference between a and a beautiful woman getting drunk is roughly this.

One looked back and smiled, and the other suddenly looked back and didn't grow an inch.
