This was a difficult decision, and Xia and Shang could only look forward to it and sigh.
However, when it comes to gains, losses, and disasters, there must be choices and trade-offs. Xia and Shang also knew the principles of balancing laws and customs.
If you want to achieve great power, how can you achieve it without experiencing danger?
Nowadays, it is human nature for Xia and Shang to be afraid. Xia Shang also understands that he can make up his mind after a night of east snow.
But tonight is a long night, with thin drifts of snow and a faint coolness. Xia Shang doesn't like to close the house, and he doesn't like the strange medicinal smell in the house. He has no sleep this night, so he sits at the table, while the wind and snow blow, while warming the charcoal fire, thinking
But it's something else.
Over the past few months, while Xia Shang was learning from his masters, he did not give up other worldly things. On the contrary, he did a lot.
However, this matter was not handled by him and was only conveyed orally, which made Xia Shang feel somewhat uneasy. Therefore, every time he thought about some commonplace things, Xia Shang was upset.
Nowadays, money is a big problem. Although the winery is open, it makes very little profit. It is not that the wine is difficult to sell, but the wine is delivered from Yangzhou to Suzhou. There are many troubles along the way. The cost of the delivery by the horseman is very small, but it takes care of every house along the way.
However, the cost of copycats is very high. If you want to open your own trade route, you have to buy off the black and white roads along the way. This is also the reason why Xia Shang wants to borrow other people's trade routes, but it is a pity that the current situation can only be like this.
Wuliangye is more expensive in Suzhou and sells well, but apart from the increased costs along the way, Xia Shang now has one more place to spend money.
This is the Hero Village. The things taught by these masters are very good and Xia Shang has benefited a lot. Therefore, they cannot be ignored. Xia Shang is also the owner of the Hero Village in name. Every old man in this village must be taken care of.
, and the cost of renovation, the monthly cost is so high that even Xia Shang found it difficult.
Seeing that money is running out day by day, Xia Shang is planning to return to his old business and write one or two novels to change his current financial situation.
Xia and Shang had also planned before. If they wanted to write about it, they would write about the Three Kingdoms.
It's just that Xia Shang feels that there are still many serious things to do now, and writing books and the like are just leisure pleasures, so it is inappropriate to spend time here at this time.
As he was thinking about it, a gust of wind and snow blew outside the house, causing the flames of the brazier in front of him to waver. The bursts of chill also made Xia Shang squint his eyes.
Xia Shang frowned slightly, not because of the cold, but because of the smell of smoke in the wind, and the wind and snow also carried a little bit of fly ash, which was the ashes of fire.
"Is there someone burning something in Zhuangzi?" Xia Shangzheng was confused. He glanced at the dark night outside and saw a little light shining through, as if something was happening outside.
Xia Shang arrived at the door, but did not dare to step out. He looked in front of the door and saw that the night sky not far away was dyed red by the blazing flames. Thick smoke rose into the sky. The sky and the earth were chaotic and dim. Only the light of fire loomed.
Don't know what happened.
At a quick glance, the distance is at least four or five miles.
Although they were far apart, they could see clearly, which showed how critical the situation in the burning land was.
Yingxiongzhuang is close to the west gate of Suzhou, and the fire came from the west. It should be that something happened on the official road near Suzhou City.
Xia Shang looked around the village. No one seemed to care about the fire that shot up into the sky. He didn't think much about it anymore. No matter how serious the trouble was, as long as it had nothing to do with him, that was all.
…
And in this chaotic world of flames, two swords crossed the sky and the earth, and hundreds of people were swarming and killing each other. A convoy of a hundred people on the official road had been swallowed up by the fire. Burnt black corpses could be seen everywhere on the ground, and there were still some people who had not fallen in the fire.
The people below were screaming and roaring. The whole scene was in chaos. I could only vaguely hear someone shouting: "We are from the imperial court! You... you gangsters... ah!!!"
No one paid attention to such a voice, because the real competition under the fire was between two groups of forces, but at the same time they were eyeing such a convoy of ordinary people dressed up and shouting court slogans. This convoy was accompanied by a hundred people and was very skilled, but the two parties that attacked today
However, they were vulnerable to a single blow. In just a moment, a huge fire broke out in the sky, and no one in this group would survive.
The melee continued, and only the sound of swords clashing was heard. The true energy in the air formed turbulent currents, and the fine snowflakes were intertwined into a strange network. Just the countless strands of true energy in the air
The smell made me feel that at least a dozen warriors from the Peiyuan Realm Festival were working hard.
A battle of this scale has not been seen once in more than ten years.
Tonight, such a shocking fight suddenly broke out on the official road less than two miles away from Suzhou City.
No one knew who was who, let alone why such a battle started, but such a big movement immediately alerted the patrol battalion team guarding the west gate.
After a while, nearly a thousand soldiers rushed over, their roars shaking the sky, and the scene became even more chaotic.
Seeing the large army of the imperial court approaching, the two groups formed a tacit understanding with each other and began to retreat.
Dozens of figures evacuated the scene, some fled into the mountains and forests, and some fled into the city.
A large number of soldiers from Xicheng rushed to the scene of the incident. The guards on the towers of Xicheng were negligent, and they saw two black figures jumping from the bottom of the city to the city, and then into the city, chasing each other on the rolling residential buildings, getting further and further away.
These two are petite young women who can be identified at a glance. Although they are both dressed in black, they are not traveling in the same direction. Even during the retreat, no one will let the other go. They are above the houses and under the night sky.
They fought for over a hundred rounds, swords clashed, sparks flew in the dark, and they broke into the hero's village all the way.
"You and I haven't fought each other once or twice. We can't do anything to each other, so why are you chasing me?"
"It was chaotic just now, and no one noticed you, but do you think you can hide it this way? Hand over your things, and I will naturally let you go."
"Hahaha... You and I are really enemies. You don't stare at so many people, but you stare at me. Since you know that the thing is on me, why waste time? Do you really think that I will be afraid of you?"
"You think I really can't do anything to you?"
"If you have the ability to talk nonsense, why not come after me and give it a try!"
After saying that, the woman's figure flashed and she reached another upstairs room.
The woman behind him chased her at the same time, wielding a knife with one hand and slashed a half-moon knife at the head of the woman in front. The light of the knife shone coldly, and there were gusts of cold wind.
The woman in front of her raised her sword horizontally, her sword roared softly, and she picked flowers and flying leaves with another move.
One move after another, the two of them retreated. The woman in front kept laughing: "Giggle... you only used one knife in a fight with me? You didn't use the other knife? Do you want to let me go on purpose?"
"Hmph! Look at the arrow!"
The other woman suddenly changed her moves, took back her knife, and took out a weird bow and arrow from behind. The arrow came out of the bow at an extremely fast speed.
The woman who was smiling delicately did not expect that the other party had such means. She was hit by an arrow without missing a beat.
Fortunately, the woman reacted quickly and avoided the critical point. The arrow was stuck in her shoulder, and blood immediately splattered out.
"you you you……"
"What? How can I win over you? Luo Xian'er!" (To be continued)
