Chapter 381: The Killing Machine
At night, the lights in Huayin County are sparse, and only "Drunken Immortal Restaurant" is still lively. The inside was full of friends, changing cups and lamps, and the voices were boiling. A few dancing girls dressed in light veils danced, and the eyes of the drinkers were straight. This is also a major feature of "Drunken Immortal Restaurant" used to attract customers, wine is a color matchmaker, although the "wine fairy" Shi Yalan is unwilling, but the great eunuch Liu Jing needs her to do this.
Since ancient times, Huayin County has been known as "the main road of the three Qins and the thoroughfare of the eight provinces", and it is the only place where the Central Plains leads to the northwest. Liu Jing naturally wants to lay down his eyes and ears in the county, and "Drunken Immortal Restaurant" is the best cover.
Shi Yalan's father, Shi Hongyuan, is a well-known winemaker in Luzhou.
As early as the Song Dynasty, China's economic center of gravity shifted southward, and the prosperity of the Yangtze River basin made Luzhou's liquor industry unprecedentedly prosperous. Shi Hongyuan learned first-hand brewing technology from his ancestors, and there was a proverb in the winemaking industry at that time: a thousand-year-old cellar is ten thousand years old, and the good wine depends on the old cellar pool, and the longer the cellar age, the better the quality of the wine.
Because the Shi family has an old cellar left by their ancestors, it was a family-style workshop at the beginning, and the wine brewed was for family use, and the wine drunk during the New Year, festivals, and birthdays was drunk by neighbors, and this wine was particularly fragrant and delicious, and it became famous.
Shi Hongyuan's grandfather, Shi Liang, was an official in the Song Dynasty, and in 1276 the Yuan Dynasty defeated the Southern Song Dynasty and made Beijing its capital. Shi Liang abandoned the official and fled, and since then he has not asked about politics, and has been making wine at home, and it has been passed to Shi Hongyuan who has become famous in Luzhou, and the Ming Dynasty built the capital of Nanjing, and most of the wine in the palace comes from the Shi family wine workshop, which is called the first wine in the world by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.
Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, Shi Hongyuan sent his own brewed wine, Zhu Yunwen praised it after drinking, and gave a plaque with the words "The World's Wine". It also brought disaster to Shi Hongyuan. On July 5 of the first year of Jianwen, Zhu Dizhi captured Zhang and Xie Gui, who were stationed in Beiping, captured Jiumen, swore to raise troops, and began a three-year "Battle of Jingyan".
Shi Hongyuan did not know the current affairs and continued to support Zhu Yunwen, but Emperor Jianwen failed and fled, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di launched a pursuit, and all the ministers who resisted with Zhu Yunwen were killed, and Zhu Di tracked Emperor Jianwen for decades. How many heads landed, from the minister to the people who supported Emperor Jianwen were not spared, some people told that Luzhou Shijia Liquor Workshop had given Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen a good wine, Zhu Yunwen also personally inscribed a plaque "The World's Fine Wine", which is still hanging in front of their house.
Ming Chengzu Zhu Di was furious, the result of the emperor's anger was to see blood, the Shi family was beheaded all over the house, Liu Jing saw Shi Yalan's eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he was only three years old at that time. Everything is hazy, secretly stayed, and escaped the catastrophe. As she grew up, she had a soft spot for winemaking and was very smart. Liu Jing let her learn the arts, and slowly trained to become the only female brewer in the East Factory. is really worthy of being the Shi family, and even Liu Jing was surprised by the fine wine brewed, and Liu Jing regarded her as her goddaughter. taught her martial arts, and arranged for her to open "Drunken Immortal Restaurant" in Huayin County, in order to find out intelligence and monitor the county commander Cao Duomin.
Cao Duomin is an honest official. Shi Yalan also admired, and reported to Liu Jing how Cao Duomin loved the people like a son, was honest and kind, Liu Jing slowly stopped asking, but with the arrival of Ou Lingtian, Shi Yalan had a new task, monitoring his every move and reporting to Liu Jing at any time.
"Wine Fairy" Shi Yalan was moved by admiration when she saw Shen Yixian, which Liu Jing did not expect.
In the second half of the night, "Drunken Immortal Restaurant" gradually quieted down, and the last few drinkers obviously had no intention of leaving, and continued to drink, shouting five and six, and the shopkeeper yawned a few times in a row, but did not dare to leave, and reluctantly stood on the side and waited, secretly scolding his mother in his mouth. The "wine fairy" didn't sleep either, and the Dongchang people were coming tonight to bring Liu Jing's instructions, and she had to greet them in person.
As soon as the door opened, a person walked in, and saw that he was tall and tall, wearing a night suit, his head was tightly covered, and there was a murderous aura on his body, and the smell of blood was very strong.
"Ghost Hunting" Liao Wenqiong is the most famous catch fast in the East Factory, come and go without a trace, Kung Fu is good, it is said that you can fly the eaves and walk the wall, step on the snow without a trace, make a Japanese knife, the blade is 60 centimeters long, extremely sharp, and there are countless souls who die under the knife. "Wine Fairy" Shi Yalan has nightmares every time he sees him at night.
Liao Wenqiong took off her headscarf and looked at Shi Yalan, she was wearing a blue emerald smoke shirt, a pleated skirt with scattered flowers, water mist and green grass, her shoulders were shaved into a waist, and her skin was like a condensed gas. It's even more beautiful under the lights. But in Liao Wenqiong's eyes, she is just a body, every time Liao Wenqiong looks at a person, the first thing he thinks about is how to start from the most critical point of this person's body, how to split him with a knife as quickly as possible, and put him to death. He is not interested in beautiful women.
"Ghost Hunting" Liao Wenqiong came to "Drunken Immortal Restaurant" to get the floor plan of Huashan Wangfu this time.
Liu Jing knew that Cao Duomin had arranged a palace for Ou Lingtian, Shen Yixian and Ou Hanbing also arrived in Huayin County, thinking that it was an excellent opportunity, Cao Duomin invited Ou Lingtian to a banquet in "Drunken Immortal Restaurant", he immediately instructed the "Wine Fairy" Shi Yalan to use the Yin and Yang pot as his hands and feet, Shi Yalan did make a mechanism in the wine pot, half of it was fine wine, and the other half was poison mixed with cartilage, this medicine is colorless and tasteless, and people will not notice it when they drink it, and they will start to attack after 10 hours, and the whole body is weak, soft as dough, at your mercy.
Liu Jing asked Shi Yalan to attack Shen Yixian and Ou Hanbing, solve these two people, and the rest will be easy to handle. Liu Jing didn't dare to kill people now, so he sent the "ghost catcher" Liao Wenqiong to steal the "Kunlun Xuanhan Knife" and "Purple Jade Flute", and when the two artifacts were in hand, Shen Yixian and Ou Hanbing basically had no power. It was easy to capture Ou Lingtian.
It's a pity that Shi Yalan's strategy was seen through by Shen Yixian, and she didn't dare to do it.
"Ghost hunting" Liao Wenqiong asked, "Did Miss Shi succeed?"
Shi Yalan shook her head: "No, the Yin and Yang pot didn't work, Shen Gongzi knew." ”
Liao Wenqiong's eyebrows were furrowed, Shen Yixian and Ou Hanbing did not take the lead, and their actions lost the opportunity to succeed, he walked back and forth in the room for a few steps and said, "Miss Shi, can I taste the fragrance of "Drunken Immortal Restaurant"?"
Shi Yalan replied: "Why, do you still decide to go, ask for a glass of Zhuangxing wine, I advise you to dispel this idea, you are not their opponent." ”
"Ghost Hunting" Liao Wenqiong said viciously: "No one has been able to escape from my 'Ghost Hunting' Liao Wenqiong's hands, Shen Yixian is not three heads and six arms, I have to get the 'Purple Jade Flute' and the 'Kunlun Xuanhan Knife', bring the wine." ”
"Wine Fairy" Shi Yalan personally brought a mouthful of incense, Liao Wenqiong picked up the wine glass and praised it lightly and said: "Good wine, really good wine, Lanling fine wine tulips, jade bowl with amber light." But that the master may be drunk, and he will not know where it is. To be able to drink such a beautiful wine, it is worth dying. ”
Shi Yalan said: "I would rather your bell and drum food are not expensive, but I hope that you will be drunk and do not want to wake up." Knowing that it is the most stupid thing to do if you can't do it, the map of the palace is placed on the table, and you can do it yourself. After finishing speaking, she was about to leave, and Liao Wenqiong, the "ghost catcher", stretched out his hand to stop her: "Miss Shi doesn't want to have a drink with me? ”
Shi Yalan said sarcastically: "You are also a sage, at best you are just a killing machine, you can drink a mouthful of my incense today, first, I pity you, and secondly, I can see you off, you can't take an inch." ”
Liao Wenqiong was stunned.
Shi Yalan walked out of the room and gently closed the door.
"Ghost Hunting" Liao Wenqiong drank the wine in one gulp, put on his headscarf again, and his body flashed out of the door and disappeared into the night.
"Xiao Sheng" Shen Yixian has already fallen asleep, Ou Hanbing is in the room between Ou Yibing and Ou Xibing, the three sisters are not sleepy, Ou Hanbing looks at Xibing and his heart is numb, Xibing's illness is good and bad, he is almost unconscious when he is unconscious, he just looks at Han Bing and Yibing when he is awake, and he has no strength to speak. The snake venom used by the "Demon God" Mo Qing invaded her body, and there was no cure.
In comparison, Yi Bing is a little better, but she can't use force, and the two of them have lost all their skills, and now even a weak woman can pose a threat to them. Seeing Han Bing's anxious appearance, Ou Yibing persuaded her: "Sister, life and death are rich and noble, we are already very satisfied to be able to worship you as a sister, there are many dangers on the top of the Tianshan Mountain, I know." Ice demons alone are troublesome, and there is a monster on the glacier called Xuemida that specializes in sucking human blood, and they are elusive and difficult to defend against. There are also snow wolves, snow foxes, and snow leopards, all of which can take people's lives in an instant, sister, you are strong in martial arts, and you have a treasure knife on your body, but you are not afraid of 10,000, just in case, although Yi Bing is an ice demon, she can't help you at a critical moment, I'm worried. ”
Ou Hanbing smiled and said: "I'm not even afraid of the 'Demon God' Mo Qing, what monsters will I be afraid of, if you want to talk about monsters, you and Xi Bing are not you, we get along like sisters, it can be seen that demons are also human, right?" ”
Ou Yibing also laughed: "Sister is right, by the way, this time you can also bring two little demons to Tianshan, remember the last time I fought with the 'god man' Hu Jing, his body turned into a pale yellow spirit fox and fled quickly, Xi Bing changed into a snow-white snow wolf and killed him, leaving two fairy children, they are a pair of spirit foxes." Spirit foxes are very alert and react quickly to demons, so it is good to bring them with them. ”
Ou Hanbing nodded.
This female and a male spirit fox was completely tamed under the training of Xi Bing, but their skills were limited, Xi Bing did not bring them to the battlefield, today according to the ice to mention, Ou Hanbing thinks that you can bring it, people are easy to get tired, the spirit fox will not, there are them by your side to save a lot of trouble.
The golden eagle who stayed in the house called softly, and Ou Yibing said, "Sister, you see, even the golden eagle has agreed to bring the spirit fox, which is a good sign." (To be continued......)
