Chapter 944 The starting point and the ending point
"This damn weather, it's really going to be hot to death." A merchant walked into the wine shop with a rough shout. As soon as he entered the wine shop, he shouted loudly: "Bring me two kilograms of wine, this damn weather, everyone is so hot."
My mother is going to be steamed dry." Soon, a handsome young man ran from behind the counter of the wine shop. I saw this young man wearing a blue shirt, but his steps were light and nimble. He held two jars of fragrant wine in his hands.
Then he came to the table of the merchant.
Before the young man could place the wine jar firmly, the merchant hurriedly tore off the seal on the wine jar and poured a full amount into a coarse porcelain bowl. He picked up the coarse porcelain bowl and raised his head to pour out the wine jar.
The bowl of wine poured down his throat. Wine stains overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and he burped as if he was enjoying it. "It's so damn refreshing, shopkeeper, your wine is so enjoyable!" the peddler said to the man.
The young man praised.
The young man just smiled slightly and saw that he was busy like the wind. Soon there were several plates of peanuts on the peddler's table. After the peddler drank a bowl of wine, he began to slowly enjoy it.
He didn't drink the wine in a hurry. It seemed that the bowl of wine just now eliminated all the heat in his body. The young man in the wine shop returned to the counter with a pair of bright eyes, and then he stood up with his chin in his hands.
At this time, it was already July, and the Zhizi on the trees on both sides of the street kept shouting shamelessly, and the heat rushed to their faces. This was just an ordinary wine shop in Dingyuan County, and this boy was
The shopkeeper of this wine shop is of course also the waiter of this wine shop. This wine shop has only been open for a few months. No one knows where this young man came from. There is an unknown wine shop in this remote small county. In fact, it is the most ordinary.
.
At noon, the number of people gradually increased, and the business of this unknown wine shop also picked up. The wine shop was not big to begin with, but the business was getting better and the wine shop seemed a little crowded. The young man was as busy as a wolf flying among the flowers.
Like a bee, he kept taking out the wine jar from the backyard of the wine shop, and then placed the wine jar on the oil-stained long table. After placing the wine jar, there were plates after plates of peanuts or whole soybeans.
They were placed neatly on the tables of these guests.
Crowds of people are bound to make people talk. After doing all this, the young shopkeeper sat behind the counter and listened quietly to the customers' unscrupulous conversations. The young shopkeeper's brows frowned slightly, and it was obvious that he was not paying attention to the guests' conversation.
He heard what he wanted to know. In the past few days, whether it was a peddler or a gangster, it was more obvious than before. The young shopkeeper walked out of the counter from time to time, and returned to the counter from time to time.
"Oh, it's just that the weather is so hot. I heard that there is going to be another war." A swordsman from the Jianghu swordsman wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth and said to his companions. "Who says it's not the case? I heard that Emperor Long Yan of the Great Zhou Dynasty was very angry.
I want to personally lead the troops south, and several cities and towns bordering the Great Zhou Dynasty have begun to put the entire city on alert. Shouzhou City also borders the Great Zhou Dynasty, so it seems that the war will burn here soon." Another man is wearing a suit.
The well-dressed Jianghu companion took over his topic and said with a sigh.
"Everyone, I heard that it was in Xuzhou within the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is the Xuzhou that borders Shouzhou. I heard that hundreds of people died in a small mountain village in Xuzhou. And the Xuzhou government reported this matter
It was reported. Emperor Zhou knew about this and ordered a thorough investigation into the matter. Everyone, do you know what was found in the end?" A smuggler said to everyone with a mysterious tone.
"Isn't it because we found out that this matter is related to the Tang Dynasty? I don't know who was so crazy that he actually slaughtered hundreds of people in a village. This is too terrifying. Besides, even during the war between the two countries,
Nothing so tragic happened." Immediately, some customers echoed. The other customers also had disbelieving looks in their eyes, and they all looked at the thief.
"It is said that among the hundreds of villagers who were killed, one villager did not die. In the end, the Xuzhou government secretly sent the villager who did not die to Bianliang, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty. The villager said that he saw more than a hundred people wearing
Our soldiers in military uniforms of the Tang Dynasty massacred their entire village. All the evidence points to our Tang Dynasty. You said that the Kingdom of Zhou was so humiliated. How could they swallow this? All the emperors of the Zhou Dynasty were furious.
, vowing to avenge those villagers who died in vain. And we, Shouzhou, are the first to bear the brunt, and maybe the war will hit us first, Shouzhou."
"No, this is an obvious frame-up. If a village is massacred, how can anyone be left alive? I think there must be a conspiracy by someone with ulterior motives, just to provoke a war between the two countries. I am Datang
The country has always been governed by etiquette, how could it be possible to do such an unscrupulous thing? Someone must have framed it." When a middle-aged man who looked like a scribe heard this, he said angrily.
"I said, brother, even if it is an obvious frame-up, who would believe it? Besides, the witnesses have been sent to the Imperial Capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. You cannot go to the Imperial Capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty to confront the witnesses face to face.
Well. Besides, the Great Zhou Kingdom has long coveted the wealth of the Tang Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River. They may need a reason, a reason to invade our Datang Dynasty. As long as the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty thinks that it is our Datang army that did it, then it will be me.
What the Tang Dynasty did. "The smuggler?" he retorted to the middle-aged scribe.
When the middle-aged scribe heard this, he was speechless. He sat down slumped, his face became very sad and indignant. He poured a glass of wine by himself and drank it for a long time. In fact, he knew in his heart that
Although this is a frame-up, as long as the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty agrees, it will be an accident between the two countries. Not only this middle-aged scribe understands this, but all the guests here understand this truth, but some are pretending to be confused, while others are angry
Endless.
The young shopkeeper just listened quietly to the unscrupulous conversations of these people. Occasionally, a customer would bring a drink with a loud drink, and then he would rush out like a gust of wind carrying a jar of wine. The already crowded wine shop, coupled with the noisy
There was a lot of noise, and the wine shop was like a miniature market. Some people were drinking loudly, some were sighing, and some were frowning. The atmosphere also became solemn at this moment.
"I also heard that the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty originally wanted to go out in person, but he gave up due to the unanimous request of the ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. However, this time the Grand Marshal leading the Great Zhou army was the sworn brother of the Great Zhou Emperor, that is, Zhao Xiang'er of the Zhao family.
The vanguard general of the Great Zhou Army seems to be a young man named Ling Tianyun. I heard that this young man named Ling Tianyun may not be young, but he is very skilled in martial arts. According to rumors in the world, he is also the sworn brother of the Great Zhou Emperor. "What about the fake?
As if he remembered something again, he once again broke the big news.
"What, the vanguard general of the Great Zhou Army is called Ling Tianyun. Hahaha, I came at the right time. I must go and meet that boy named Ling Tianyun in the future." Upon hearing this, the Jianghu swordsman suddenly showed excitement on his face.
Sex, he said loudly. However, everyone was deeply disapproving and shot him contemptuous looks, as if this swordsman was talking nonsense. He is a pioneer general, but you are only here drinking this cheap wine.
"How do you traders and lackeys know what is going on in the Jianghu? If you want to talk about Ling Tianyun's deeds, it would take three days and three nights to describe it. Ling Tianyun is not from the Jianghu, he is the son of the general of Baishui Pass in the Northern Han Dynasty.
Later, Qi Yu started to travel around the world, and he was also a master of swordsmanship. I just wanted to know him for a while to find out who is more powerful, his sword or my sword." The swordsman from the swordsman yelled wildly and shamelessly.
When the young shopkeeper heard the name Ling Tianyun, he couldn't help but frowned, but he still didn't say anything, but listened very carefully. This wine shop is not a high-end wine shop, and they sell ordinary wines.
wine, but there seems to be something unique in this wine, which makes people feel proud after drinking it. Since the wine in this wine shop is of high quality and low price, and the wine has a unique taste, most of the people who come here to drink are
Some traveling traders and pawns and some people in the world.
"Actually, Ling Tianyun is indeed a young hero. He has extraordinary strength at a young age and can be called the most promising young hero today. In today's world, there are only a few young heroes of his generation.
That’s all, of course the four major ancient martial arts sects don’t count. We people in the world cannot compare with the four major ancient martial arts sects. Those four major ancient martial arts sects can be regarded as the supreme ones in the martial arts world." Jin, who was sitting next to the martial arts swordsman.
Pretend to be a companion and continue the conversation.
"The future is limitless. No matter how promising it is, it can't compare to the Sword Saint of the Central Plains. The Sword Saint of the Central Plains is considered to be at the pinnacle of martial arts. It is said that he is the most likely to reach the Shattered Void in the past hundreds of years." After hearing this, the well-dressed Jianghu guest
The black-faced man at the other table said with obvious disapproval. And his words were naturally recognized by other wealthy people in the world. In the world, if you say you don't know the Sword Saint of the Central Plains, then you are in vain.
I'm messing around in this arena.
The rivers and lakes do not distinguish between national boundaries. Everyone in the rivers and lakes admires the Central Plains Swordsman. This is a sign of respect for a strong man. The main reason is that the Central Plains Swordsman has a heart of compassion for the world. His battle with the great Khitan master Chang Baishan spread throughout the world. Moreover,
The Sword Sage of the Central Plains was fighting against the world's best master, Wan Yan Invincible. The reputation of the Sword Sage of the Central Plains as a strong man could be said to be admired by people all over the world.
"What this brother doesn't know is that although Ling Tianyun is not as good as a young boy, he has already been recognized by the Sword Saint of the Central Plains, and the Sword Saint of the Central Plains has accepted him as his direct disciple. Otherwise, why would the Sword Saint of the Central Plains feel relieved?
Let this young man Ling Tianyun duel with Wanyan Wudi in the Imperial City of Dazhou, which shows that his strength is extraordinary. In the battle of the Imperial Palace of Dazhou, Ling Tianyun and another young man Ye Yinfeng defeated Wanyan Wudi by half a move. What do you think of his future achievements?
Are you young?" The well-dressed charlatan was not angry at all, he calmed down and said again.
"Yes, why do I feel that Ling Tianyun is also very familiar? It turns out that he is the young man who fought with Wanyan Wudi in the Great Zhou Palace. I heard that that battle was so called that the world was shattered and the earth was shattered, and the ghosts and gods wept. In the end
Wanyan Wudi seems to have been defeated and fled the palace. But I didn't see it with my own eyes back then, so I never thought that Ling Tianyun would become a favorite of the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty and actually serve as the vanguard general of the Zhou army."
Soon, someone started cheering, and it seemed that Ling Tianyun's reputation was getting louder and louder. "By the way, I heard that there was a young man named Ye Yinfeng who was fighting against Wanyan Wudi with Ling Tianyun. It is said that he was
We are from the Tang Dynasty, and I heard that he is from Dingyuan County." Someone else seemed to have remembered something and echoed the words.
But the young shopkeeper was in a daze as if he was indifferent to everyone's discussion. It wasn't until someone called for wine that he hurriedly took out a few jars of wine from the backyard. What he didn't expect was that everyone was interested in Ling Tianyun and Ye Yinfeng.
The discussion among them became more and more intense. They began to discuss who was more powerful and whose martial arts was better. The discussion was in high spirits and seemed to be endless.
At this time, a skinny old man walked into the wine shop. The old man had one eye. The old man entered the wine shop with a hint of coldness. Everyone soon felt a hint of coldness.
The coldness spread from the old man's body, and the coldness almost made everyone shiver. Everyone quickly stopped discussing, drank the remaining wine, and left.
