Liu Mizhou still didn't look back and said calmly: "Not bad. Do you know me?"
The leader said: "I am Ye Chifeng from the Jiange Sect. Do you still remember the bloody battle with the Leshan Gang under the Leshan Giant Buddha?"
Liu Mizhou raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong?"
Ye Chifeng said: "At that time, I was helping with boxing for Leshan, and the Marquis spared my life!"
Liu Mizhou said calmly: "Oh, I just remembered it, but I spared a lot of people that day, and I can't remember exactly who they were. I just said, if you tell the truth, I will let you go.
.”
Ye Chifeng said solemnly: "In the coffin is a young ice crocodile!"
Zeng Yong and others were stunned!
The ice crocodile is also one of the ancient wild beasts!
Unexpectedly, they were able to obtain a baby ice crocodile!
Liu Mizhou said calmly: "What is it for?"
Ye Chifeng said solemnly: "My young gang leader is actually not dead, but he was seriously injured to the point of being left with only one breath left. His life is in danger, so we must use this ice crocodile blood as medicine to bring him back to life! We have paid a lot of money to capture this ice crocodile cub.
The price was quite high and a lot of people were sacrificed. Naturally, I didn’t want others to get involved! Especially in order not to attract the attention of the Demon Cult, I had to pretend to be a dead body and put it in a coffin to hide it from the public." As he said that, he opened the lid of the coffin.
An icy air instantly filled the air, and the white mist flowed continuously down the outer wall of the coffin, as if mercury was pouring down the ground, and a layer of frost instantly condensed on the edge of the coffin!
No one expected that the ice crocodile's cold energy was so strong!
Zhou Wen quickly approached the coffin and looked inside. He saw a seven-foot-long black crocodile lying quietly at the bottom of the coffin. Its long mouth had been tightly bound, as if with a steel hoop. He was sleeping with his eyes closed at this time.
The body was covered in scales and armor, and although the four sharp claws were tied up and closed, the sharp edges were still exposed! The inner wall of the coffin was covered with silver foil, and something similar to a sponge was used as an insulation pad. Zhou Wen heard that
However, some wealthy people used this thing to store summer ice, which could maintain a constant temperature and prevent it from being heated. Zhou Wen thought to himself that it was no wonder that the entire coffin did not freeze into ice. It turned out that the insulation work was done well. Ye Chifeng saw that Zhou Wen had clearly seen the face of the crocodile,
He quickly closed the coffin lid to prevent the heat from pouring in. Of course, he also had to be careful not to let rainwater get into the coffin. Although someone held an umbrella to protect him from the rain when he opened the coffin lid just now, a few drops of rainwater still got into the coffin. Although a few drops of rainwater got into the coffin.
A drop of rain may not necessarily have a big impact, but how could Ye Chifeng dare to be so unreasonable? If an uncontrollable accident occurs due to the rain, he will not be able to bear the consequences!
Feng Jiuxiao saw from a distance that the edge of the coffin was freezing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and thought to herself: When he killed the huge ice crocodile in Yanbing Valley, he didn't feel how cold the giant crocodile was, but the cold air it spewed was powerful.
Very well, could an adult ice crocodile be able to send and receive cold air freely?
Feng Jiuxiao frowned and fell into thought.
Zhou Wen shouted to Liu Mizhou: "Master Hou! It is indeed a little crocodile. It is very evil and has cold air all over its body!"
Liu Mizhou glanced at Feng Jiuxiao, saw him lowering his head to drink tea, and knew that he would let it go, so he said: "Since you told the truth, I have to fulfill my promise, so let's go!"
Ye Chifeng cupped his fists and bowed in salute, then waved his hand and dozens of men in raincoat immediately carried the coffin and walked forward in the rain.
Liu Mizhou suddenly asked: "Who injured your young gang leader?"
Ye Chifeng, who had walked more than ten steps, paused and turned slightly sideways, "Master of Wuyou Valley, Yuxi Lin!"
Liu Miezhou said: "Okay, I understand."
Jiange sent thirty people to go forward in the rain. After a while, they disappeared.
Zeng Yong asked: "Wouyou Valley is very famous. I have heard of them in the Central Plains."
Feng Jiuxiao also knew some general information about Wuyou Valley from Wei Qiansui. Wuyou Valley specializes in growing a kind of "Worry-free grass", which is used to refine a kind of rouge artifact - "frozen age paste", which is colorless and odorless.
Applying it on the face can make the skin smooth and delicate, and delay aging. It is the heart treasure of women all over the world, whether it is a rich lady from a wealthy family, a princess or concubine of a noble family, or a prostitute in the fireworks alley.
"Frozen Age Cream" is in high demand!
It can be said that "one ounce of gold and one ounce of paste"!
Sometimes it’s like “one gold can’t buy a pound of ointment”!
Because the output is too low, things are more expensive when they are scarce!
Wuyou Valley’s frozen age ointment sells well all over the world, and even people from Khitan nobles, South Vietnamese royal families, and Japan come to ask for the goods! Because Wuyou Valley is on the territory of Western Shu, it naturally depends on the face of the Shu Emperor, and every year
The ten kilograms of "Frozen Age Cream" offered as tribute to the Shu Emperor were only one tael in the hands of each princess and concubine. Fortunately, the output of other skin care creams refined in Wuyou Valley was large and the tribute was much larger, so they could be "used evenly".
No matter how overbearing Emperor Shu was, he could not force Wuyou Valley to deliver more goods, because rabbits would bite people when they were in a hurry! Who can guarantee that there is no manipulation in the "Freezing Age Cream"? Only when it is enough can it be just right!
Zeng Yong said: "Wuyou Valley has great wealth and power, and there are many masters, but most of them are women, especially the owner of the valley is also a woman. They don't conflict with others easily. How can they have such a quarrel with the Jiange Sect?"
Liu Miezhou shook his head and said, "Who knows? Maybe the young gang leader of the Jiange Sect took a fancy to her beauty and harbored evil intentions."
Zeng Yong nodded and said: "There is such a possibility."
Chang Zijin said: "The Wuyou Valley you are talking about is the Wuyou Valley where frozen age cream is made?"
Liu Miezhou said: "Exactly."
Chang Zijin said with some yearning: "It's a pity that I only heard its name but didn't see its thing."
Feng Jiuxiao said: "This is easy to handle. It will definitely be sold when we get to Chengdu. Right, Marquis of Hanjun?"
Liu Miezhou said calmly with no expression on his face: "There should be."
Zhou Wen smiled and said: "Of course Chengdu has it. Paper is expensive in Luoyang, and anointing is expensive in Chengdu!"
Chang Zijin asked: "How expensive is it? Is it really one tael of gold and one tael of ointment?"
Zhou Wen smiled and said: "I haven't bought it, so I don't know. But it's definitely not cheap."
Feng Jiuxiao patted her chest and said with a smile: "I don't have anything else, I just have money! I can buy whatever I want when I get to Chengdu!"
Zhou Wen clapped his hands and said with a smile: "A virtuous couple is really enviable! It is said that a woman only wants her appearance to please her, so she gives pink to a beautiful woman, and a son spends a lot of money to see his true love!"
Feng Jiuxiao smiled softly and said, "She is my sister!"
Zhou Wen was suddenly startled, slapped himself in the mouth, and smiled awkwardly, "Look at me like this, I'm sorry!"
Chang Zijin wore a power fence on his head and couldn't see his expression, so it didn't matter, but Feng Jiuxiao had to resolve the embarrassment in time, otherwise this young officer might reveal some shocking news!
Feng Jiuxiao chuckled, "It's not strange to be ignorant, come and have a drink!"
Rumble, lightning and thunder.
It rained heavily.
Although it was windy and cold, several people were drinking white wine and the woman was holding a thermos, which was getting warmer and warmer as she drank.
Zhou Wen actually had the best idea in mind. He almost tried his best to toast, making sure that the distinguished guests drank well!
Especially Liu Mizhou drink well!
No matter who drinks more or less, the ultimate goal is to drink well!
After all, Zhou Wen is just an ordinary martial artist. No matter how drunk he is, who can be more powerful than him? Within a short time, his tongue was too big, his eyes were hazy, and his body was shaking. Feng Jiuxiao hurriedly waved to the back and called the two of them.
Zhou Wen helped him down. Zhou Wen struggled to prevent others from touching him, "I, I didn't, I didn't drink too much, don't, don't touch me, I, I haven't paid homage to Han, Hanjun Hou, Hou, a glass of wine one by one
..." Feng Jiuxiao sealed his sleeping point with one finger in the air, and Zhou Wen suddenly snored like thunder! The pawns were immediately shocked by Feng Jiuxiao's magical skills! Touching acupuncture points from the air? The martial arts is really unfathomable.
Liu Mizhou said to the soldiers: "Everyone, please rest and don't worry about us. We can just deal with it for one night."
One of the pawns held an umbrella for Liu Mizhou and said: "Master Hou, the rooms have been cleaned out a long time ago. The two fairies have one room, and the four of you have two rooms. There are no extra rooms. Please forgive me!"
Feng Jiuxiao knew that each of these three rooms could actually house at least five soldiers. If they did this, it is estimated that at least half of them would have to make beds on the floor!
So he quickly said, "Okay, okay." If he hadn't said it, given Liu Mizhou's character, his slow and lukewarm expression would inevitably make people think he was dissatisfied, and even the other half of the pawns would suffer.
!
So he strikes first to gain the upper hand!
As expected, Liu Mizhou said slowly: "Okay, okay." When he saw Feng Jiuxiao saying yes, he would naturally not say no. He is a person who takes things as they come. If he said no, and others asked what was wrong, he would
He will immediately be stunned on the spot. So going with the flow and taking things as they come is his best choice.
As soon as he entered the room, Feng Jiuxiao immediately thought to himself: As expected, each room has at least five beds, but it is a bunk. It doesn't seem crowded when two men squeeze into the five-person bunk. These people are really thoughtful!
But Feng Jiuxiao knew that these were of course done for the sake of the "Marquis of Hanjun".
The "Marquis of Hanjun" may be worthless in the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but in the territory of Xishu, he is the most powerful and influential minister!
Therefore, when these low-level soldiers have the opportunity to meet the noble Liu Mizhou of Tianhuang, they will naturally spare no effort to make friends with him!
In the eyes of some people, this is called currying favor with the powerful!
In the eyes of some people, this is called being good at seizing opportunities!
Each flower enters each eye, so why bother asking anyone?
Looking at the same thing from different angles, you will see different results.
Some people say that their goals are women and money.
Some people say that their goals are love and career.
I would like to ask, is there any difference in the goals of the two people? It’s just that one sounds more youthful and the other sounds more humble.
When a junior officer sees a marquis with a servile look, what does a general call him when he sees the emperor? It should be called groveling. What is the difference between the two?
It’s just a smile at a hundred steps! Those who can talk about career and love can only say that they have read a few more books, which does not prove that they are necessarily nobler than the person who strives for “money and beauties”.
There was once a famous saying by a scholar in Jianghu, "I have two ingots of silver in my hand. Who can tell me which silver is despicable and which is noble?"
So different people have different life goals, because everyone stands at different heights and angles.
Under Feng Jiuxiao's influence, Zeng Yong has gradually changed his views on these low-level people. He also has more smiling faces towards these soldiers.
He can at least look at himself objectively now. He is the young master of Sky Eagle Castle, yes, but he can become the young master of Sky Eagle Castle not because of his extraordinary abilities! The martial arts in Tianying Castle are better than his own
It’s not like there are no high-ranking people, so why did he become the young castle lord? It’s just that he is the castle lord’s only son!
If I were born into a poor family, wanting to become the young master of Tianying Castle would be nothing short of a fantasy!
When I was a child, I rolled around in the mud with the children in the countryside. If I had enough to eat, I would be lucky! If there was a famine, I would be lucky not to be sold to others to eat! Even if I had the chance to grow up, I would not have a husband.
If you teach literacy and don’t have a master to teach martial arts, wouldn’t you end up just a farmer with his face facing the loess and his back to the sky? What future can he have? What is there to be proud of and what is arrogant? Isn’t it like being scolded like a dog?
Same?
After staying with Feng Jiuxiao for a long time, he felt that his arrogance gradually disappeared. After staying with Li Erni for a long time, his anger also decreased.
Now Zeng Yong sometimes can't even believe that he is still the same person? Because he has indeed changed a lot!
Feng Jiuxiao asked the other three how they would live and who would share a room with whom.
Liu Mizhou was still casual and didn't care who he was with.
Big Wolf said that he listened to Feng Jiuxiao, which meant he didn't say anything.
Zeng Yong thought about it and said, "I'll share a room with Mr. Liu. I want to chat with him tonight." He really wanted to chat with Liu Mizhou.
Two reasons.
One is that both of them come from "rich and noble" families, so they should have a "common language". Another point is that Zeng Yong feels that the relationship between Liu Mizhou and Feng Jiuxiao is getting closer and closer. His deputy leader of the Shan League
His position was not determined last time. Naturally, he would not question Feng Jiuxiao "ignorant of current affairs" at that time. But in the future, would this position be in danger? So he wanted to "fight" with Liu Mizhou tonight and "explore"
Exploring the bottom".
Bigwolf spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and smiled to Feng Jiuxiao, "I am famous for my loud snoring, you'd better fall asleep first."
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said: "Don't blame me for not reminding you. My snoring was so powerful that it could sweep through Hengyang. It's best for you to sleep first!"
In fact, what difference does it make who sleeps first? At their level, they can wake up immediately at the slightest movement, not to mention thunderous snoring? As long as they want to sleep, they can naturally enter a dormant state.
There were dark clouds in the sky, thunder and lightning, and heavy rain from noon to evening. When everyone woke up, it was already dusk. Feng Jiuxiao felt that her energy was endless, stretched out, and said to Bige Wolf: "The main wine is really good, it's okay to drink too much."
No headache.”
Big Wolf said: "Yes, I have drank a lot of wine from the Central Plains. Not only did I get heartburn after drinking a lot of wine, I also had a headache the next day."
Feng Jiuxiao said: "That means there is something mixed in the wine."
Big Wolf said: "Mixed with something? Mixed with water?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "The taste of the wine is weak when it is mixed with water. You can taste it as soon as you taste it! They added some other wine."
Big Wolf asked in confusion: "Other wine?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "You know that making wine requires the right time, place, and people. No mistakes can be made. Once the winemaking fails, all the wine will be useless."
Bigwolf's eyes lit up, "You mean they mixed the bad wine into the good wine."
Feng Jiuxiao said: "It's possible. Do you know how vinegar is made, right?"
Big Wolf shook his head and said: "How did I know this? I didn't know there was such a seasoning as vinegar until I arrived in the Central Plains."
Feng Jiuxiao said: "First soak the rice, then steam it, mix the rice into distiller's yeast, and after steaming, it is more conducive to fermentation! After the half-cooked rice comes out of the pot, it must be spread on the ground, stirred, ingredients, piled, fermented, and dried.
The ground grain has a special name called Liangtang. It is then fermented and distilled. Usually the wine that comes out is called the first song, the second song, and the third song in order. Having said so much, here comes the key point. These
If the koji is not sealed well, it will become sour and turn into vinegar!"
Big Wolf frowned and said: "I asked why some wines are bitter and some are sour. Are those sour ones the most uncomfortable? It's like adding vinegar to the wine. Can people not feel uncomfortable?"
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said: "It's a big loss to mix vinegar into wine! Vinegar is more precious than wine! What they mixed in should be something that vinegar doesn't even count."
It takes six to twelve months to make wine, but it takes eighteen months to make vinegar. It takes a long time, the output is low, and the price is naturally more expensive than wine! Of course, it cannot be compared with the world's famous wines.
In the end, in order to reduce costs, people began to polarize in terms of water quality. Wine is a pure white snow, so it naturally requires good water. Vinegar is a low-income person, so naturally the requirements are not high. Naturally, the requirements for food are becoming more and more differentiated. Therefore, the wine in some places is better than
Vinegar is expensive, which means that the local water quality is good. In some places, vinegar is more expensive than wine, which means that either the place is poor and no one drinks, or the water quality in the place is too poor to produce good wine.
The two of them were talking about wine here.
Zeng Yong and Liu Miezhou were discussing their martial arts experiences. Zeng Yong was about to break through the Liuli realm. So he asked Liu Miezhou for advice on many doubts about practicing martial arts. Although Liu Miezhou was neither salty nor indifferent, he still had questions.
Answer. He knew that the relationship between Zeng Yong and Feng Jiuxiao was definitely unusual, so he would not deliberately put on airs. As the chat lasted for a long time, Zeng Yong began to find out the details, such as how Liu Mizhou and Feng Jiuxiao met, and what their plans were for the future.
Liu Miezhou was not an idiot. He thought to himself: Why didn't you ask Feng Jiuxiao? Either you were embarrassed to ask, or Feng Jiuxiao didn't say anything. Why should I say it.
So he just typed a haha, just eight words: Meeting by chance and having the same spirit.
Zeng Yong was naturally not discouraged, so he took a roundabout way and asked Liu Mizhou about his life experience. If he wanted others to reveal his secrets, he had to reveal his own secrets to the other party first. This is called offering advice!
Zeng Yong first introduced the situation of Tianying Castle, and then how he met Feng Jiuxiao on the boat, how he met Taifu Gao, how he fought side by side, scared off the Five Elements Evil, and killed the five masters of Lingxiao City. It was inevitable that he would add some spice to his story.
, the purpose is to arouse Liu Mizhou's interest. Once he is interested, he may talk about his own past.
Once a person opens his mouth to speak, he will inevitably lose control.
But Zeng Yong found that he seemed to be wrong.
Liu Mizhou seemed to be born with a boredom and was unwilling to speak. He was always umming, ah, oh, making people unable to cry or laugh. In the end, Zeng Yong was drunk, and when he became sleepy, he actually fell asleep.
The rain finally subsided. But looking at the situation, it would not stop that night. Suddenly I heard someone shouting in the distance: "House of Hanjun! Help! Marquis of Hanjun! Help!" The voice was getting closer and closer, faint in the wind and rain.
It sounded like Ye Chifeng's voice. It was a little hoarse, a little frightened, and a little sad!
The light rain was not heavy, so everyone walked out of the inn without holding an umbrella. They saw a figure running quickly from behind the mountain col. It was Ye Chifeng!
When Ye Chifeng saw several figures standing under the red lanterns falling in the wind and rain, it was Liu Miezhou and others, he shouted: "Master Hou, help me!"
