Zhao Yuan took a deep look at Shopkeeper Qian, said nothing, took out a few crystal stones from his arms, threw them on the table, and walked away.
A dense sound of horse hooves sounded, and gradually, the sound of horse hooves became farther and farther.
Inside the tavern, there was still a suffocating silence.
People have the feeling of being in a dream.
"Dad, they're gone." The first person to react was Qian Fu. He ran outside the door and stood from a high place to look at it, making sure that Zhao Yuan and the others had left.
"Let's go..."
Shopkeeper Qian wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a long sigh of relief. He knew that he had just been on the verge of death. Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Qian shuddered and quickly bent down to collect the weapons under the counter.
Cover it with something.
"They are not Crusaders!" Dongzi looked out the window with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"If he's not a Crusader, he could be a soldier of the Qin Empire." Shopkeeper Qian said angrily.
"I always feel that something is wrong. If it is the Crusaders, will they let us go? Wu Laoguan, you have traveled all over the country and have seen a lot. Tell me...Wu Laoguan, what are you thinking?"
Wu Laoguan seemed to have not heard Dongzi's words and looked out the window in a daze.
"Old man Wu!" Shopkeeper Qian shouted.
"Ah... Shopkeeper Qian, you want to scare people to death!" Mr. Wu was startled.
"Dongzi said they are not Crusaders. You have traveled extensively and seen a lot. Did you find anything different?" Shopkeeper Qian walked up to Wu Laoguan and filled the wine bowl for him. "Today's wine is free, so it's for everyone."
It’s overwhelming.”
"I think that young officer looks familiar..."
After Shopkeeper Qian said this, he fell into deep thought again.
"Look familiar? Have you met them on the road?"
"No...it feels a bit weird. I seem to have a deep impression, but I can't remember seeing them there...let me think about it again, think about it again..."
"Don't think about it, they are just a group of crusaders with some humanity! Hey, our Qin Empire has no one left. General Chang Kong is seriously injured. Three of the four gods are dead. Only General Guo is left. The building
It’s almost impossible to support a tree alone... Hey, how wonderful it would be if General Zhao, the God of War of our Great Qin Empire, had not disappeared..."
Shopkeeper Qian didn't seem to be interested in doing business. He sat down in front of Mr. Wu and asked Mr. Qian to bring him bowls and chopsticks. He complained while pouring himself a drink.
"General Zhao!"
Wu Laoguan stood up suddenly and slapped his hand on the table. Because of his excessive force, the wine on the table splashed everywhere.
"Hey, what are you crazy about? I said it's free, but you can't waste it! This is our ancestral glutinous rice wine..." Shopkeeper Qian wiped the table with a rag in distress.
"It's General Zhao, the undefeated god of war, General Zhao!" Wu Laoguan put his hands on shopkeeper Qian's shoulders and shook them desperately, with an excited look on his face.
"What General Zhao..."
"The man just now was the undefeated and victorious General Zhao of our Great Qin Empire. I saw him when I was in the imperial capital. That night, many people died, including He Zixiong, the boss of Baihualou, and Master Ruolin, the King of Martial Arts and Slaves...
...I remembered, I remembered...it was him. That day, I also saw General Changkong and General Guo..." Wu Laoguan yelled incoherently.
"..."
Shopkeeper Qian opened his mouth, looked at Wu Laoguan, but didn't say a word.
At the same time, the entire tavern was quiet, and every pair of eyes fell on Mr. Wu.
"Yes, I remember him. I will always remember that look in his eyes. When I saw it just now, I remembered that you have never been to the Imperial Capital. That night... it was such a passionate night... It was something I will never forget.
One night... it's him, I swear, it's definitely him, he is the only one in the world who has that kind of magnanimity..." Wu Laoguan's eyes revealed an extremely fanatical look.
"Is it really General Zhao?!" Shopkeeper Qian's lips trembled. He seemed to be still not sure. He needed to confirm with Mr. Wu again.
"Yes, it's General Zhao!" Wu Laoguan nodded with certainty.
"Is it General Zhao?"
Dongzi, Qian Fu, and the young man whose name he didn't know all gathered around Mr. Wu, with expressions of hope on their faces.
"I swear, I swear, he is definitely General Zhao. I have seen him, and when I was closest to him, I was less than two feet away!" Wu Laoguan looked determined.
"Oh my God, our Great Qin Empire is finally saved!" Shopkeeper Qian fell to his knees on the ground with a plop, bursting into tears.
"Dad, why is General Zhao wearing a cross armor? Could he..."
"Fart! General Zhao is extremely smart, and no one can help him. He must have his reasons for putting on the armor of the Crusaders. Is it possible that he also put on the armor of the Qin Empire and ran around in the streets behind enemy lines?" Shopkeeper Qian!
A slap in the face to Qian Fu.
"Qian Fu, although General Zhao is on the list of villains, he is a righteous hero who has repeatedly turned the tide. I believe that even if General Changkong betrays the Great Qin Empire, General Zhao will not betray our Great Qin Empire."
empire!"
"right!"
"right!"
…
Inside the tavern, it seemed like there was a blazing flame burning.
"Qian Fu, pack your bags quickly."
"Yes, Dad." Qian Fu was overjoyed and rushed to the counter.
"Dongzi, Qian Fu will be left to you." Shopkeeper Qian held Dongzi's hand.
Dongzi just nodded, he made no promise, because he is a soldier, and he knows that soldiers go into battle to kill the enemy, and their bodies are wrapped in horse leather, and their blood is stained in the yellow sand.
I don’t know when, but shopkeeper Qian’s wife also came out, packing big and small bags, and sorting out a lot of dry food and the like.
Under the watch of the diners in the tavern, Dongzi took Qian Fu and the unknown young man on their journey, and the setting sun stretched their shadows very long.
Inside the tavern, it was suffocatingly quiet.
There was a trace of tragedy in everyone's eyes, and there was a trace of flame burning in that tragedy.
There is no doubt that Zhao Yuan's appearance has ignited hope in people's hearts.
Zhao Yuan never dreamed that his appearance in the tavern would actually affect the military direction of the entire Great Qin Empire.
The news of Zhao Yuan's appearance spread throughout the Qin Empire like it had wings.
Countless young people have embarked on a journey like Dongzi and others. They left their homes, wives, children, and parents behind to find the light.
A single spark can start a prairie fire.
The power of the people is so great. On the journey to Blackwater City, countless passionate young people gathered together. They composed hymns one after another with their blood and fought to realize their dreams.
Many times, there is God's will in the dark. If Zhao Yuan did not show up in the tavern, Dongzi and the others would still embark on the journey, but they would lack spiritual support.
Zhao Yuan has long been the young idol of the Qin Empire, and his idol's influence is extremely terrifying.
When a country is in dire straits, the emergence of an undefeated god of war has a meaning beyond itself.
Zhao Yuan's appearance in the tavern was purely unintentional. He just wanted to inquire about the news about the Qin Empire.
In fact, Dongzi and Qian Fugui didn't know that they would soon meet Zhao Yuan, follow in Zhao Yuan's footsteps, and become famous in history...
After initially judging the situation of the Great Qin Empire, Zhao Yuan decided to inquire and verify the information, and then flew to Blackwater City with his sword.
After leaving the tavern, everyone found a secluded place and changed out of the Crusaders' armor, because Zhao Yuan had to go to Bafang City to verify the information obtained from the tavern, and also to find out the situation of the entire Great Qin Empire.
After having the experience in the tavern, Zhao Yuan discovered that although wearing the armor of the Crusaders can reduce a lot of trouble, it is not suitable for inquiring about information and can easily cause misunderstandings among the people of the Qin Empire. Facing the silent people, wearing the uniform of the Crusaders
, not suitable for inquiring about information
When we arrived at Bafang City, it was already evening and the city gate was about to close. Under the twilight, Bafang City looked dilapidated. It was obvious that this place had experienced a fierce offensive and defensive battle.
The city gate is heavily guarded, but the main purpose is to search for weapons and not to create any other difficulties.
The crowd was divided into several groups and sneaked into Bafang City without any danger.
Bafang City looked deserted, with only a few passers-by on the originally bustling streets.
