Chapter 1 The first entry into the Ming City

"Fu boy, go and drink for the master!"

In the sycamore forest outside Mingcheng, a young man in ragged clothes reclined on a branch, shook the gourd in his hand, and threw down the tree. Under the tree was a fat boy with a round head and a round head, who was sitting next to the trunk of the tree and eating a flatbread, ignoring the words, and letting the gourd fall into the pile of leaves with a soft sound. These two are a pair of brothers, from a small sect in Pingyang Mountain, the big one is called Liu Liu, and the small one is called Fu Ning.

Fu Ning stuffed the last piece of flatbread into his mouth, wiped his mouth, and then said: "Senior brother, you forgot again, before leaving, the master said that the purpose of this trip is to find the senior sister in Luoyang, and you must not stay on the way, let alone enter the city, and now in troubled times, you and I need to be cautious, so as not to cause death." ”

"You kid don't come!" A piece of broken silver fell and smashed on Fu Ning's head, "Rory, don't you just think about it, the rest is yours." ”

When Fu Ning heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately smiled: "Okay, senior brother, what kind of wine do you want, Du Kang, Huadiao, Daughter Hong, Fenjiu, Gujing, Zhuyeqing, as long as you can say it, I will buy it for you immediately." ”

"Get out!" Liu Liu scolded angrily, "You pay? Lao Tzu doesn't have so much silver to give you Huo Huo, you just have to buy the best according to that silver." ”

"Got it, brother. Fu Ning shrank his head and smiled, picked up the gourd and silver from the ground, and walked out of the sycamore forest.

After the gate check, it is the main block of Mingcheng. Fu Ning glanced over and saw that there was a sea of people here, and it was extremely lively, far from being comparable to outside the city. He thought that the business of this restaurant was so good, and the wine must be good, so he made a selection, found a store that looked good, and raised his feet to walk in. As soon as he walked to the door, he was stopped by a small servant: "Stop! ”

Fu Ning glanced down at himself, a coarse linen dress was patched, a little old, but it didn't look like he was asking for food. After hesitating again and again, he still resisted his temper and said, "I'm afraid that my little brother is wrong, I'm here to drink, and I don't beg for food." ”

Unexpectedly, the little guy sneered: "Drinking, you are a mountain villager, how embarrassed to come here to drink." ”

Fu Ning was angry and said, "Why are you talking so ugly, I'm just a little poorly dressed, why can't I enter your restaurant!"

The little guy just sneered and didn't answer.

Fu Ning was angry for a while, secretly scolded this person for looking down on people, and thought that it was not worth worrying about this villain, so he turned around and left. He walked around the street, walked all the way, and saw several wine shops, all of which were gorgeously decorated, and there were small servants guarding the door, thinking that it should be similar to the restaurant, if he stepped forward, he was afraid that he would be humiliated again.

"There is no master here, there is a place to collect the master, this Ming City is so big, is it possible that there is no restaurant for me to drink. Thinking of this, Fu Ning found a fork in the road and left the main street.

After walking through most of the Ming City and passing through several streets and alleys, Fu Ning never found a decent tavern. Seeing that it was about to be noon, Fu Ning's stomach began to growl, he thought about it, turned around and folded into an alley, and was going to find a restaurant to fill his stomach first, but at this time, a familiar wooden stake appeared at the end of the alley, and when he looked up, it was a wine guise with white characters on a black background, on which the dragon flew and the phoenix danced with the word "wine", and next to it was a two-story old wooden building.

Fu Ning was overjoyed, walked straight in, looked around, but saw that there was no customer in the store, and he was about to quit with a sudden heart. But at this moment, a guy with a white scarf on his shoulder greeted him.

"Is it a sharp boy or a drinker?"

Seeing this, Fu Ning could only stop, he glanced at the account room that was napping on the counter, groaned, and then lifted the gourd in his hand and shook it twice: "Wine, what kind of wine do you have here?"

"Hey, you really have a good taste, you can see at a glance that we are a century-old store here, and there is good wine. The guy bared his teeth, pointed to the big wine jar behind the counter with one hand, and smiled: "Hey, the first-class daughter Hong, the things in the town store, you look at ......."

"Take me to see it. ”

"Okay, sir, please. ”

Fu Ning followed the guy to the counter, looked at the layout of the store by the way, and asked casually: "You have built the restaurant so remotely, aren't you afraid that no one will come here to drink?"

"If you go back to your grandfather, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and there are some guests like you in this small shop who come to eat wine on weekdays. ”

The guy led Fu Ning to the counter, opened the seal, scooped out a spoonful of wine, and handed it to him: "Master, can you taste it?"

Fu Ning nodded and took it, sniffed it, and glanced at the account room again. I saw that at the temples of the account room, there seemed to be a dragon rolling, and a pair of eyes were also half-closed, and there was a faint flow of dark light. Fu Ning frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, or reached out to dip a little of the wine in the spoon, intending to taste it. But at this moment, a whistling suddenly sounded behind him, Fu Ning was already on guard, at this time, when he heard the sound, he immediately threw the wine grape, rolled to the side, looked back, but saw that the account room was smashing over with an iron abacus, obviously to take his life.

Fu Ning sneered and said, "Let's just say that there is such a cold restaurant in this city, it is really a black shop!" So he pulled a wooden chair and threw it to the bookkeeper, took the opportunity to jump on the counter, and took out two short knives from his arms and slashed at the guy. The guy also showed a fierce look, tore off the white towel on his shoulder, and two black shadows suddenly shot at Fu Ning, forcing him to withdraw the short knife to block, but at this moment, the account room behind him attacked again, Fu Ning leaned over and kicked, kicking the account room back a few steps, and at the same time the double knife swept and slashed towards the guy's neck.

Seeing this, the guy kicked the counter and stepped back, his hands shaking again, and four black shadows flew out again. Fu Ning hurriedly jumped off the counter, but he could dodge, and when he was about to fight back, he suddenly felt a pain in his vest, but he was smashed by the abacus thrown by the account room. A mouthful of blood spurted out, Fu Ning turned his head to look at the account, only to see that the man was looking at him with a surprised face, and at the moment his heart was horizontal, and he kicked the abacus that fell under him towards the guy with his back, and at the same time held the short knife with both hands and rushed towards the account.

How could the account room expect that the fat boy in front of him would be so strong, but he could still move after his calculations, and at this moment he lost his weapon, and suddenly fell behind, and he could only dodge left and right, embarrassed. But at this moment, the guy dodged the abacus and rushed over again.

Fu Ning was in a hurry, these two people are not simple goods, the two of them have joined forces, and they have already made him suffer a dumb loss, if he fights again, he is afraid that he will have to be planted in this dilapidated restaurant today.

A few more hidden weapons flew in, Fu Ning dodged sideways, caught a glimpse of the guy, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he threw a short knife over with his backhand. The guy was still a few feet away from Fu Ning, and he thought that with the length of Fu Ning's hand knife, he couldn't touch himself at all, so he didn't do much to take precautions.

Fu Ning was overjoyed in his heart, and when he turned around, he was about to cut the account room again, but there was still half a shadow of this person! But at this moment, another gust of wind sounded behind his head, Fu Ning secretly said that something was wrong, and he jumped up in a hurry to avoid the vital point, but he was hit in the thigh and fell to the ground.

Fu Ning hurriedly raised his knife to block, then kicked open the account room and slid towards the outside of the house, kicking out the tables and chairs from time to time on the way, so that the account room could not get close.

After getting some distance from the two, he quickly got up and crossed his chest.

The scene was at a stalemate for a while, the two people in the account room were afraid of Fu Ning's bravery, and they didn't dare to get close, Fu Ning also had to beware of the guy's secret weapon, and neither of the two parties dared to strike first, so they could only keep maneuvering.

As time passed, Fu Ning never found out the flaws of his opponent, and he gradually became anxious in his heart. After another moment, the account room seemed to be a little impatient, spit, raised his leg and took half a step forward, which suddenly startled Fu Ning's whole body. The account office did not attack, but received the abacus behind him and threw it towards Fu Ning: "Boy, today my brothers kicked it to the iron plate, admit it, how about we stop here?"

Fu Ning didn't say a word, and slowly clenched the knife.

Seeing that Fu Ning ignored him, the account room said: "My brother and I also ate together, and accidentally bumped into the little brother, please bear with me." ”

Fu Ning arched his hand: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!"

The bookkeeper originally thought that he would have to say a few more words, but he didn't expect the kid in front of him to be so knowledgeable, and he was immediately overjoyed and flattered: "I don't think the little brother is like those decent hypocrites, and he will definitely not hold on to it for a little misunderstanding, haha......"

Fu Ning watched coldly and was unmoved. He glanced at the guy who had just gotten up from the ground, then his eyes rolled twice, and he bared his teeth and said: "What the eldest brother said is very true, but these small injuries on my body are caused by a small misunderstanding of the eldest brother, does the eldest brother want to compensate one or two?"

The bookkeeper's face darkened when he heard this, and he took another half step back.

"Bah, are you a thief or am I a thief, pluck your hair and pluck it out on Lao Tzu, you are tired of it!" The guy on the side sneered and scolded.

"That's not what you have to talk about?"

"You want to die Lao Tzu to fulfill you, Lao Tzu can still be afraid that you can't succeed!" the guy sneered again.

The two sides were once again tense, and for a moment no one dared to act rashly, only to hear the creaking sound of the roof beams overhead, and I wondered if there were rats.

After a while, the account room suddenly waved his hand, and sighed several times, revealing a bitter look: "Hey! It's all out to mix, it's not easy, little brother, please be considerate and considerate, if the two of us are rich, how can we do such a thing?"

Fu Ning sneered and raised the knife.

"Damn, big brother, what do you have to say to this little rabbit cub, I ......"

"Shut up!" The bookkeeper glared at the man, and then smiled at Fu Ning: "Little brother, let's see each other in the future, please raise your hand and make a good fate?"

"Big Brother ......"

"Damn, you still know I'm your brother, shut up!"

The room was quiet for a while, Fu Ning had no bottom in his heart, at this moment watching the two of them sing and harmonize, he felt a headache for a while, and secretly said that he was afraid that he couldn't help these two people today, and he felt a stuffy pain in his chest, it should be that the injury was worsening, and he had to be treated quickly, and he couldn't do anything for a while, so he hesitated for a moment, so he had to speak: "Okay, just form this good fate with you." Just ······"

Fu Ning glanced at the store and remembered the purpose of this trip, so he pointed to the wine jar and said, "I can always scoop some of this wine, right?"

The two men looked at each other with strange expressions and did not answer.

Fu Ning was furious: "Damn...... , even the pot of wine is picked!

Seeing this, the account clerk hurriedly said: "Little brother, don't worry, it's not the two of us, it's just ...... It's just this wine......"

"Say!"

"There's something wrong with this wine. ”

"Questions?"

"Fake. ”

......

"Damn...... Fu Ning raised his eyebrows, and suddenly understood, and his face was also strange.

"It's been eight lifetimes of mold!" After a while, Fu Ning bypassed the two of them, picked up the wine gourd on the counter, picked up the short knife and a few hidden weapons from the ground, ignored the man's angry face, and said: "Since you two have this ability, why do you want to do such a hurtful thing, go to the border to join the army, kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, eat the emperor's grain, and take the emperor's sound, isn't it beautiful?"

The guy sneered when he heard this: "The kid is ignorant, how do you know that the general will die in a hundred battles, and the life of a strong man will not be long, if the two of us enter the battlefield, they will be like ants into the ocean, and they will be destroyed in an instant, how can it be beautiful?!"

Fu Ning was speechless, his face turned red, he hesitated for a moment, and fled.

"Hmph! It's still a doll......

......

Fu Ning walked out of the old alley, and hurriedly found a place to sit cross-legged secretly, and only after an hour did he get up, and his injuries were already healed.

It's also strange to say, Fu Ning's body is quite weird to pee, the eight veins of the strange meridians are blocked, and he can't cultivate internal strength, but it's terrifyingly strong, how can he look at this kid as round as a ball, but in fact it's all muscles. In addition, his recovery power is far beyond ordinary people, regardless of his external and internal injuries, when he meditates, he can heal himself without medicine.

Fu Ning got up, grinned, and turned to leave.

After turning around, he broke into the downtown in a daze. There are more liquor shops here, but they are also more upscale, and at first glance it is not a place where ordinary people can afford to eat alcohol. Fu Ning glanced at the gourd on his waist, sighed secretly, picked a restaurant that looked a little more plain, and walked in.

The business in the store is really good, it is full, and it is very lively.

Fu Ning stood at the door for a long time, but no one stepped forward to entertain him, and he was angry for a while, so he opened his throat and shouted: "Little Er!

This voice really worked, and the tavern suddenly fell silent, and everyone turned their eyes to it.

Fu Ning's face turned red, coughed twice, and said to the guy who came over: "Little Er, fight for wine~"

The guy glanced at Fu Ning strangely, led him to the counter, and asked, "What kind of wine do you want?"

"What kind of wine do you have here?"

The guy looked proud: "Guest officer, you are a foreigner, right? You haven't heard of the 'Dragon Rest Building' in Xizhou Cloud City? Hehe, if you want to talk about the liquor in our store, there will be more." The wine in our store is divided into three grades, and each product is divided into three grades, and this is the best ······."

"Stop!" Fu Ning remembered what he had encountered earlier on the main street, and was full of arrogance for a while, waving his hand to interrupt the guy, and said, "Don't be so troublesome, just say it, which is the best? How much money does it cost?"

The guy glanced at Fu Ning and hesitated: "This ...... This price is a bit high, the guest officer ......"

Fu Ning waved his hand and smiled: "You can say as much as you want." ”

"One hundred and sixty taels of silver. ”

Fu Ning was in a cold sweat and said, "What kind of wine is so expensive?

The guy smiled slightly: "The guest officer guessed well, the saint has indeed come to the shop today, and he has also drunk the wine of the shop, which is the kind I just said." ”

Fu Ning's heart was weak, and he looked up at the man.

"That'······ The cheapest liquor you've got here······"

"Two taels of silver a pound. The guy smiled.

Fu Ning sighed and weighed the silver in his arms.

"Here's ······ Let's come to half a catty!"

"Okay, wait a minute. ”

The guy looked 'sure enough', and didn't say much, took the gourd and silver, walked around the counter, walked out after a while, and handed a slightly smaller piece of broken silver and the gourd to Fu Ning: "You go slowly." ”

Fu Ning didn't dare to stay, walked out of the restaurant in a trance, and looked back to see that the guy was smiling and bowing at the door.

"Smiling Tiger!"

Fu Ning shuddered and hurried away.

······
