In the dusk, a few broken clouds floated in the sky, blocking the originally unclear sunlight and adding a bit of chill to the winter air. The cold wind whistled through the mountains, making a shrill sound like a ghost whistle.
, the cold wind rolled up the sand and rocks on the mountain, flying aimlessly.
A carriage was slowly advancing in the mountains. The driver was Zhao Zheng. In the carriage behind him, Luo Xing lay sleeping. He won the literary battle, and Yan Shi took Luo Xing as promised.
The star was handed over to him. His goal had been achieved and he did not stay any longer. He immediately left Qishimen and drove the carriage provided by Qishimen to the mountains. He wanted to find a good, quiet and uninhabited place to give Luo Xing to him.
After cooking, I will give an explanation to the Ma An family and comfort the souls of the deceased in heaven.
There is a bare mountain wall halfway up the mountain in front, which is full of cracks and seems to be easily destroyed.
Zhao Zheng looked around and thought it was a good place. He drove to the mountain wall and pulled the reins to stop the carriage. He dismounted, walked around to the back of the carriage, opened the door, pulled out the tightly tied Luo Xing, and threw it on the mountain.
Under the wall.
He originally wanted to wake Luo Xing up so that Luo Xing would understand, but he felt that this was too cruel, so he gave up the idea. Letting Luo Xing die comfortably in his sleep was the last kindness to Luo Xing.
"Be content. You will die much easier than that innocent old woman." He looked down at the unconscious Luo Xing, and slowly pulled out the Life Sword. This sword has been stained since its birth.
The blood of many people had been stained on it, and in the cold light shining at the edge of the sword, a soul-stirring murderous aura appeared at some point.
The sword light fell, hitting Luo Xing's heart, taking away the beating of his heart. He was still sleeping at the moment before his death.
Zhao Zheng pulled out his sword, and blood fell down the tip of the sword, speckled on the bare stone. The blood beads looked so crystal clear. He twisted the edge of the sword and swung his sword towards the opposite mountain wall.
The sword energy separated from the sword body, like a long golden snake, and hit the mountain wall hard.
More cracks appeared on the mountain wall that was hit, and some gravel bones fell down, laying on Luo Xing's body.
Zhao Zheng then swung his sword several times, hitting the mountain wall with sword energy one after another, shattering the mountain wall. Stones of various sizes fell on Luo Xing's body, burying it underneath.
He didn't let Luo Xing's body be exposed in the wilderness because he didn't like to torture the dead. Besides, the scenery here was nice. Leaving the corpse here would destroy the scenery.
"Rest in peace."
Zhao Zheng turned his head and looked north, murmured something, then got up and got on the carriage, and continued southward without looking back.
A week later, Zhao Zheng arrived at Gujing Town, the hometown of fine wine, where he wanted to buy "Nine Brewing Spring Wine". This kind of wine, like wood carvings, is an indispensable thing for him, and he will be able to send it out in the near future.
Great use.
Gujing Town is a beautiful town. There are many springs in the town. Jiu Niang Spring Wine is brewed from these spring water. Jiu Niang Spring Wine is a specialty here. It can only be brewed with the water here. Even if it is brewed with the same water in other places,
Even with the advanced brewing techniques, wine with this taste cannot be produced.
This place lives up to its reputation as a wine town. When you walk on the streets and take a quick sniff, you can smell the aroma of wine. If you follow the aroma of wine, you can find a place selling wine.
What Zhao Zheng wanted to buy was not the ordinary Jiu Niang spring wine, but the royal tribute wine that was used as tribute to the emperor every year. This kind of wine could not be bought in ordinary wine shops. Only the Cao family, which specializes in brewing this kind of wine, could buy it.
The Cao family is a local wine-making family, and the nine-year-old spring wine brewed by the Cao family is unrivaled in the local area. After the emperor accidentally drank this wine, he immediately issued an imperial edict and designated this wine as the imperial wine for annual tribute.
The wine specially reserved for the emperor can no longer be drunk by the common people, so the Cao family's Jiu Niang Spring Wine is not sold to the outside world. Of course, if some powerful people come, the Cao family will be out of favor.
, they have to be sold, but they will never be sold openly.
Except for the emperor, it was very difficult for others to get their hands on this royal wine, even if they had to buy it with money, because the Cao family was not short of money at all.
Zhao Zhengyi introduced Bai Ding, who had neither power nor influence. He only had a little money, but it was of no use. If he wanted to get this kind of wine, he had only one way, and that was to steal it!
He originally didn't like to use such a dirty method, but at the moment there is no other good way, so he can only resort to this. Although he is a decent man, he is not pedantic. In his opinion, as long as what he does is not
It doesn't matter if he seriously hurts others. He won't be greedy and steal all the wine. He will only take the jar of wine he needs. In addition, he will leave enough money to buy the wine on the spot and will not take it away in vain.
This is worthy of the Cao family.
In addition to being a wine-making family, the Cao family is also a martial arts family. All members of the family are skilled in several skills, especially the head of the family, Cao Xuan, who has reached the sixth level of heaven and can be regarded as a second-rate master.
The Cao family has been making wine for generations, and the martial arts they practice are also related to wine. This special martial arts is called "Liquor Burning Technique". It requires drinking to practice. During battle, you can also use the wine in your body to release moves, or use
Drinking alcohol to restore internal strength is very magical.
"Fierce Liquor Burning Technique" prefers hard kung fu, taking a fierce route, and the movement is very slow, but the moves are extremely powerful, the punches penetrate the flesh, and the tiger and the tiger create wind.
Except for the head of the family, Cao Xuan, the Cao family has no very powerful warriors, and their cultivation levels are generally below the fourth level. Therefore, if you want to steal the royal wine, the most important thing is to avoid Cao Xuan and choose a time when Cao Xuan is not around.
sneak into.
In the game, there is a special mission which is to sneak into Cao's house to steal wine. Zhao Zheng has done this mission with his friends before, so he remembers it very clearly.
To do this task, the most important thing is to choose the time. Cao Xuan usually stays at home and sits in charge. Only on the 10th of every month, he will leave overnight and go to a brothel to meet his lover privately. It is the safest day to sneak into Cao Xuan's house.
.
Today is the eighth day of February, and there are two days until Cao Xuan has a private meeting with his lover. By that night, Zhao Zheng will start stealing wine.
Zhao Zheng still had two days to prepare. He found a good inn in the town, got a room, freshened up, washed away the dust of the past few days, then found the waiter and found out who Cao Cao was.
The specific location of his home. He took advantage of the early hour and rode to Cao's house, intending to check out the location first and identify the door so that he could start his business two days later.
As a family that specializes in brewing wine for the imperial court, the Cao family has made a lot of money over the years. The courtyard is very grand and is the largest building complex in the local area. The courtyards are next to each other and occupy almost the entire street. Walking along the street
, I saw plaques bearing the name of Cao Mansion hanging on all the courtyard doors.
"It's not quite the same as in the game." Zhao Zheng looked at the extraordinary Cao family compound and had this thought in his mind. In the game, the place where the Cao family brews wine is called "Lingquan Ting" and is easy to find.
, but in reality, there are too many houses in the Cao family, so it is impossible to find them.
If you want to steal the royal wine, you must first find out where the "Lingquan Court" is. If you want to find out where the "Lingquan Court" is, the most direct and hassle-free way is to ask someone who is familiar with the Cao family.
Zhao Zheng wandered around in front of Cao's house and waited until he saw a male servant of Cao's family who was out. He went up to the male servant and stopped him. He started talking to the male servant and lied that he wanted to buy royal wine. The male servant was unwilling to talk to him at first.
, he immediately stuffed a piece of broken silver into the hands of the manservant. The manservant was jealous when he saw the money, changed his attitude, told Zhao Zheng about the royal wine, and mysteriously said that he could get the royal wine and only sold it for three hundred.
Two silver coins per jar.
Zhao Zheng knew that the manservant was lying. Real imperial wine could not be that cheap. What the manservant provided must be just ordinary Jiujiang spring wine. He smiled and continued to talk to the manservant without comment, and asked many questions. One of them
The question included the specific location of "Lingquan Court". The manservant did not hide anything and told everything he knew. He also drew a few simple maps on the ground for Zhao Zheng, marking the location of "Lingquan Court".
Lingquan Courtyard is a large courtyard. Once you know the approximate location, it is not difficult to find it.
Zhao Zheng achieved his goal, sent away the manservant, returned to the inn, and spent two days practicing.
At dusk on February 10th, Zhao Zheng began to steal wine. He took out night clothes and some useful bits and pieces from the warehouse, put them into a package, and carried them on his back. He left the inn and came to the opposite side of Cao's house.
I found a window seat upstairs in a restaurant where I drank while keeping an eye on the Cao family.
As night fell, a powerful middle-aged man eight feet tall walked out of the largest courtyard of the Cao family. He was a bit bald and didn't have much hair. He simply shaved his head to make him even more fierce. He is here
At the intersection of winter and spring, he still wore very thin clothes, exposing his two muscular arms, and on his wrists he wore two wristbands inlaid with several golden balls. On his waist, hung a silver
The wine jars made by the Cao family are inseparable from wine when practicing martial arts, so everyone has the habit of wearing wine vessels on their bodies.
This mighty middle-aged man looked exactly like Cao Xuan in the game, and Zhao Zheng recognized him at a glance.
Cao Xuan went out, got on a tall horse, and rode away from home. It seemed that he was going to meet his lover.
"One moment at night is worth a thousand pieces of gold. I wish you a good time tonight. As for your royal wine, I accept it without politeness." Zhao Zheng watched Cao Xuan walk away, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he drank the wine in the cup.
He drank it all. Gujing Town's Jiu Niang Spring Wine was indeed well-deserved. It was refreshing and sweet in the mouth, with a lingering aftertaste. Among the drinks he had ever drank, it was considered one of the best.
The ordinary Jiu Niang Spring Wine is so delicious, the royal wine brewed by the Cao family must be even better. Zhao Zheng secretly changed his mind and decided to steal two jars of royal wine at once, keeping one jar for work and the other for his own drinking
.
When it got late at night, Zhao Zheng left the restaurant, found a secluded place, put on his night clothes, and jumped onto the wall of the Cao family compound. There were many sharp nails buried in the walls of the Cao family, specially designed to
To prevent theft, he stepped on the corner without nails with one foot to stabilize his body, then jumped over the wall and disappeared into the darkness. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster
