In early spring, everything comes to life, and the trees on both sides of the road are all covered with a layer of light green. Each small bud absorbs the sunshine and strives to stretch its waist outwards.
On the road, you can sometimes see cars, horses and pedestrians passing by.
There was a hunter who was carrying a few furs that he had recently hunted on his back. He was singing a loud folk song as he walked towards the ancient well town a few miles away.
"The old hunter, with his own bow, hunts wild boars and brown bears. Outside the vast spring mountains, there are winding creeks..."
The song spread far and wide, echoing in the mountains and forests, causing a group of forest birds to fly away from the branches and disappear into the sky.
Halfway through the folk song, it stopped abruptly without any warning, and the hunter who was singing the folk song also stopped stiffly in the middle. He slowly moved his neck and looked at the sword on his neck. The sword was as smooth as
The mirror glowed with green light, reflecting his astonished expression on it, which showed that the sword was of excellent quality.
Could it be that he encountered a robber who was robbing someone on the road?
Besides robbers, who else would embarrass an ordinary hunter like him?
Orion wanted to move his body, farther away from the aggressive sword blade, and take a look at who was behind him, but as soon as he moved, the person behind him immediately shouted: "Don't move."
"Okay, I'll just move on. If you are short of money, these few pieces of fur on my body are worth two small coins. You can take them as much as you want. I will treat you as a filial piety." Orion thought he had encountered a robber.
It's natural to plead.
"I'm not interested in your fur. I just want you to run an errand for me. If you are willing to help, I can pay you a commission." The person behind him said.
"This is easy. If you have any instructions, just tell me."
"I have a letter here. You can take it and deliver it to the Cao family's house in Gujing Town." The man behind him said and handed over the previous envelope. There was a red seal on the seal and the words "From Cao Xuan" on the front.
"One line.
"Okay, I will definitely deliver it." Orion took the envelope and took a quick glance at the hand holding the letter. He found that the skin was smooth and slightly calloused, and it seemed that it was the hand of a young man.
"This is a small ingot of silver, which is considered as your errand fee. After you deliver the letter, the Cao family will give you another reward. The money you make from this errand will definitely be more than what you make from hunting in a year."
You can earn even more." The person behind him held a shiny silver ingot between his fingers.
"Is there such a good thing?" Orion took it dubiously and weighed it. It was enough to buy all the furs on his body.
"There really aren't many good things like this. You're lucky to have it happen to you today." The man behind him retracted his sword and gave Orion a nudge, "Okay, you're on your way. Remember to deliver the letter.
, if something goes wrong, I will definitely come back to you again."
"Don't worry, I'll do the work." Orion promised again and again, and walked on the road as promised. He walked very slowly at first, but when he saw that there was no movement from the people behind him, he quickened his pace. After walking for a while, he quietly looked back and found that
Half of the figure behind him was gone, and he didn't know where the person he was talking to had gone.
Orion himself is also a martial artist. He knows a few basic kung fu skills and understands some things in the world. He guessed that the person who found him today is a real master. This kind of master is elusive and very difficult to mess with. He couldn't help but secretly wipe it.
Khan, not daring to play any tricks, decided to deliver the letter to Cao Mansion obediently.
The journey was calm and calm, and Orion successfully delivered the letter to Cao Mansion, and handed the letter to the servant in the hall.
The servant took the letter and left the hall.
Orion waited in the hall for a while, and suddenly he saw a tall and powerful bald man coming out of the back door, leading a large group of people behind him, as if he had encountered some serious emergency. Orion grew up in Gujing Town,
He recognized the bald man as Cao Xuan, the head of the Cao family. He was frightened when he saw Cao Xuan's fierce look on his face.
"Who gave you this letter?" Cao Xuan asked with his eyes wide open.
"Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao doesn't know. Xiao Xiao didn't see his face at all." Orion shuddered with fright and explained everything that had just happened.
"So that's what happened. It seems that the person who wrote the letter doesn't want to show his true colors." After hearing this, Cao Xuan waved his hand and said, "Take him down first and wait until I come back to deal with him."
When Orion heard that he was going to be locked up, he was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly, claiming that he was only being threatened and had nothing to do with the matter, but no one listened to him at all, and he was still forcibly taken away.
Although there were few words in the letter, it was indeed about an urgent matter, and it was related to the royal wine that the Cao family had lost today.
Cao Xuan led the elite members of his family to leave the mansion together, and hurried to the location specified in the letter in different ways. Cao Xuan and two family masters used Qinggong to rush on their way, as if they were riding clouds and mist, soaring high above Gujing Town.
Go away. The rest of the people who are not good at cultivation will ride on horseback and drive away those who block the way with their whips, leaving a trail of billowing smoke and dust on the road.
Cao Xuan was the fastest and soon left the rest of the family behind. He left Gujing Town first and headed straight for a cemetery in the southeast outside the town.
Wherever there are people, there are dead people, and where there are dead people, there are cemeteries, and Gujing Town is no exception.
Cao Xuan arrived at the cemetery as fast as he could, and searched among several hills full of tombs. He soon found a large number of wine jars behind a hillside. He was very familiar with these wine jars.
It was the royal wine that the Cao family had lost for several days.
"The person who wrote the letter claimed to have found the royal wine for me and placed it in the cemetery in the southeast. I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect it to be true!" Cao Xuan was so ecstatic that he almost lost his mind with excitement.
, jumped towards the pile of jars, grabbed a wine jar from it, and pulled off the lid.
The aroma of wine spurted out from it, and this smell was too familiar to Cao Xuan.
Cao Xuan's eyes, which had been ashen for the past few days, were filled with hope again. He raised his neck and took a big sip of wine. The wine filled his stomach, and it tasted like the royal wine made by the Cao family. There was no longer any doubt.
"Haha, it's really the lost royal wine from my family!!!" Cao Xuan looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, with tears in his eyes.
No wonder he was so excited. The loss of royal wine is a serious crime, and the court's investigation can be either big or small. If the emperor is angered, he may even end up being executed. If you find these royal wines, you can avoid a catastrophe.
Protect the entire Cao family.
After Cao Xuan laughed wildly for a while, he checked on the spot and found that there were only sixty-eight jars of royal wine left, five jars less than before. This had been mentioned in the letter, and the writer indicated that he had taken it himself.
I took away five of the jars of imperial wine as payment for my hard work in finding the imperial wine.
Although five jars of royal wine are precious, they are nothing compared to this kindness. Let alone five jars, even if the writer takes away thirty jars of royal wine, Cao Xuan will not complain at all. This is what the other party deserves.
.
Cao Xuan was a straightforward person, and he always acted with a clear distinction between grudges and grudges. This time someone found the royal wine for the Cao family, which was a great kindness. He was full of effusive gratitude to this person. It was a pity that he did not leave any words in the letter.
He signed his name to hide his true identity, and he did not know the name of this benefactor and where he was a hero.
Cao Xuan looked around. There was nothing around except sparse graves. This benefactor might be nearby, or he might have drifted away long ago. There was nowhere to vent the gratitude in his heart, so he knelt down naturally.
He fell to the ground. With his current status, he has not knelt down to anyone for a long time.
"Benefactor! I don't know who you are, and I don't know if you are here or not, but I have to say thank you to you anyway!" Cao Xuan said, knocking his bald head down hard and hitting his forehead on the ground, stunned.
It was through hard work that he broke a stone into pieces, leaving a trace of dust on his forehead. He didn't know where his benefactor was, so he simply prayed four times in a row, praying in all four directions.
.
"Benefactor! This time you have retrieved the Royal Wine for the Cao family. This kindness cannot be repaid. Although the Cao family is just a wine-making family, they are as light as a feather in the martial arts and have no status. But if you are of any use in the future,
Wherever you are, please feel free to speak! No matter whether we go up the mountain of knives or go down into the sea of fire, our Cao family will never frown!" Cao Xuan clasped his fists and shouted loudly to the empty surroundings. His voice spread far away and gradually disappeared.
.
Cao Xuan was so grateful to this benefactor that if he came out and asked him to do something, he would go through fire and water without hesitation.
Unfortunately, the surroundings were quiet and there was no response.
Cao Xuan's heart was ups and downs, and he couldn't calm down for a long time, but he stopped yelling and stayed where he was to guard the lost imperial wine, wishing he could move all the imperial wine home now.
After a while, other members of the Cao family arrived here one after another. After seeing Yujiu in the cemetery, they all laughed and sang and danced in the cemetery. These people all asked who it was.
He helped the Cao family find Yujiu, but Cao Xuan himself didn't know it and couldn't answer it. He just repeatedly told his clan members not to forget this kindness, and everyone obeyed.
Under the abbot Cao Xuan, all the sixty-eight jars of royal wine from the cemetery were loaded onto the carriage and transported safely back to Gujing Town.
Although the Orion was just running errands and delivering messages, it was still a great achievement. Cao Xuan could not find the real benefactor, so he rewarded the Orion with a large sum of money.
At first, the hunter thought he was in trouble, but now he turned around and got a large reward that was far beyond his imagination. He felt that everything was like a dream and he couldn't believe it was real.
As the saying goes, one learns from one's mistakes. The Cao family lost their royal wine this time, suffered a big loss, and learned a lesson. The head of the family, Cao Xuan, called his family together that day to reflect on the matter and pool their efforts to discuss a more secure existence.
Drinking method. Everyone brainstormed and put forward various opinions, but it was not possible to finalize a plan in a short time.
The royal wine of the Cao family was lost and recovered. There is no need to explain in detail how to keep the royal wine in the future. This matter is considered to be over. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
