A few days out of Xijun and less than a few days' journey eastward, you can see Fengyou County. The latter is certainly not a wealthy place among the six counties of Yizhang, but compared to Xijun, which has been invaded by horse thieves and bandits for many years, it is still considered a wealthy place. . Fengyou County originally got its name. It is said that in ancient times, someone saw the old phoenix falling here. The brilliance spread thousands of miles and the fire rolled to the ground, burning for six or seven days. There were cries and young phoenixes flying into the sky where the old phoenix fell. He stood up straight, followed the wind in an instant, and swam all over the world. This is why he got the name Fengyou.
Fengyou County has a strong martial arts culture. In the streets and alleys of the ordinary city, you can see shops with hanging knives and swords, spears and axes, and blacksmith shops that sharpen and polish swords. If you pick a city in the county, you can do it. Looking for more than ten shops; traders and foot soldiers, merchants and knights, all walking around with weapons on their backs without exception. Even the government did not care about it. As time went by, Jianghu people and merchants became more and more common, and Fengyou was accompanied by them. Everyone in the county has a little surplus of money and food, so compared to the people in Xijun next to them, the people in Fengyou County are more particular about their clothes.
According to the speed Yun Zhong and Wen Yu traveled in the past few days, they should have arrived at Fengluo County five or six days ago, but now it was delayed for several days before they could reach dozens of miles outside Fengluo County. Thanks to a few days before Yun Zhong left the mountain, he and his second senior brother Qian Yin obtained Zhang's prescription for dispelling cold and transforming wind. Most of the medicinal materials can be found in the deep mountains and wilderness; and a few of the main medicines were found on Nangong Mountain as early as the season. The young man exchanged some juicy roasted rabbit for some main ingredients with Qian Yin, who was always stingy. After boiling the medicine for several days, the skin was reduced by one point, and Wen Yu's intense cold was subsided.
"Fengyou County is really rich. At least in the West County, ordinary people cannot afford such cloth for their clothes. Most of them are brown clothes with linen. I have never seen such silk clothes and satin." The young man raised his head and drank the tea. I peeked towards the high-hanging wine shop not far away, I saw that I had not drank any alcohol along the way, and I was feeling greedy, so I was having a hard time at this moment.
"Master specifically told me before leaving that my uncle is not allowed to drink outside, especially in areas that have not yet entered the city. He must not be greedy for alcohol." Wen Yu looked around, the young man's actions and eyes were clear, and he tapped twice. On the edge of the table, "Although I have thanked my junior uncle for taking care of me in the past few days, since it is my sect's destiny, I dare not disobey it. I hope my uncle will be considerate and endure the addiction for a while. After entering Fengyou County, it will not be too late to drink again." .”
Yun Zhong sighed, but he didn't have much excuse. He could only wrinkle his nose and smell the wine wafting from the wine shop not far away, just to satisfy his craving. During the season in the mountains, Wen Yu seemed to have a calm temperament and was very polite on weekdays. However, if he was seriously provoked, his face would be cold, and he would feel cold despite being far away from others. A few days ago, when Yun Zhong fed the former with decoction, he only touched it slightly. A sword flashed from the woman's shoulder to her throat, surrounding the young man who had been practicing swordsmanship for many years. He had never thought that a sick person could use such methods. He begged for mercy repeatedly before he could move away.
Therefore, after Wen Yu recovered from the cold, the young man became very well-behaved and behaved in a strict manner. Even during the night vigil season, he would climb up to the ancient tree and look around without any thought of getting closer.
Under the wine cover, there are several men shirtless drinking. Even though it is autumn now, regardless of the rain in the past few days, even today the sky outside is a bit gloomy, the autumn wind is blowing, and it is deserted. He just kept drinking and yelling loudly. "To tell you what, the leader of the White Gourd Sect is so virtuous and capable. He actually ignored the kindness shown by our gang leader for many days. He just got lucky out of thin air. He picked up a good sword manual and jumped to the next level. The heads of the various sects and gangs are so high that they are so far-sighted that they don’t even care about them. Although my caravan is said to have a poorer background, now all the sects in Fengyou County are afraid of my gang. Grandmaster, even if it takes turns to fight to the death, you can still kill the leader of the White Gourd Sect." One of the shirtless men said with a fierce look on his face, putting down his cup and sneered.
"It shouldn't be said like this. The master of the Baihu Sect has extremely high swordsmanship and a powerful caravan, but his foundation is shallow after all. If there are two more masters from the Baihu Sect and they act rashly, they will probably suffer a lot. ." A person beside the man shook his head, "Nowadays, all sects have back-ups, whether deep or shallow. The skill of just one Baihu Sect Master is already unfathomable. If several masters of swords, guns, swords and axes appear, with help, Those masters who fall into the trap are bound to be defeated."
The man Xiancai frowned and cursed in a deep voice, "It's really annoying to have the White Humen always weighing on the top of the caravan, but it's really better to risk your life and fight against this brain-man gang to the death to gain morale. "
All these grievances made the men in front of them look more and more fierce when they were drinking. The waiters who were serving wine did not dare to say anything. They even had to be more cautious when pouring wine, lest these few people in front of them become angry. No money for drinks was given, and a good meal was enough to make ends meet.

Just at this time, another young man with a very cold face came outside the wine stall. He picked up a gourd and handed it to the shopkeeper. He sat down on his own and said indifferently, "Pour half a gourd of soju. There is no need to be particular about it. Just be stronger." .”
The waiter nodded, looked at the shirtless man on the side, leaned slightly closer and said in a low voice, "You can tell at a glance that the young hero came from outside Fengyou County. Maybe he doesn't know the origin of the people at the table, although he is He is young and frivolous, but the young hero should not provoke him, so as not to get into trouble. Originally, the stall had a lot of liquor, which was all high-quality liquor shipped from Fengyou County, but now most of them are asked to buy it by these guys. Go, if you don’t mind, young hero, I’ll pick up some lighter drinks and fill them up for young hero, and I’ll just get some wine money to use for future expenses.”
The cold-faced young man frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Even if you call me, the store owner shouldn't worry too much. When you go out, you must be extra careful. This truth is naturally obvious." Enlightenment.”
Seeing that the young hero was not a newcomer to the world, the waiter finally took a breath and nodded repeatedly before carrying the gourd and going to scoop out the wine. However, he still glanced at the long table beside him, worried. Drinks are the most courageous thing to do, not to mention people from the martial arts world. Compared to ordinary people, they are even more unscrupulous. If you drink several glasses of wine, your courage will rise when you get up. People in government offices will also be reluctant to get involved, and you will suffer from boredom in the end. It’s still this ordinary wine stall.
"But having said that, we once had the honor to catch a glimpse of the woman beside the master of the White Gourd Sect. She was truly unparalleled in beauty. She was like a pretty lady walking out of a painting. If she were not the emperor, saint, prince, noble, or noble, I am afraid she would be nothing. To enjoy the blessings, if the white gourd door is broken open, maybe you and I will share the blessings, how happy it is?" A group of shirtless men drank enough wine and talked more and more carelessly. They were all laughing, and one of them looked pretty good. The sharp-eyed man glanced at the table next to him, picked up the cup and said hello, "Brothers, isn't there a handsome young hero here right now? His eyebrows are really very good. If you put on a long bun and put on some light powder, Rouge, maybe she can compete with that woman."
Everyone laughed, and some even whistled at the young hero twice, behaving wildly.
The young hero's face was still cold, but he ignored the commotion around him and raised his eyes to look at a tea stall: there was a young man waving his hands one after another, as if he was in a hurry, for fear of causing trouble, his brows were furrowed.
Seeing that the young hero had a cold face and showed no retorts, all the men laughed wildly. Several people stood up one after another, carrying cups and walking to the table beside them. They said that this brother's eyebrows were so wonderful that he was the daughter of some family who was away from home. To avoid worries, he pretended to be a man, but he had a different charm.
The handsome young man with fine features still ignored him and looked towards the tea stall.
But he saw that there was no one at the original table.
"Uncle Master is very shrewd." The young hero sighed and shook his head. Hearing the noise in his ears became even louder, he silently put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist.
"These brothers are very cheerful. They are drinking shirtless in this early autumn. Although it is not the occasion, it is rare for them to be in such a mood. I am wandering around the world with my junior brothers. When I first came here, I have a good affinity with these people. Why not fight? Sitting at the table and drinking together, it can be said that there is no loneliness when autumn comes, just as the spring breeze comes."
Several men turned their heads and saw a young man approaching with a sword hanging on his waist. He held his fists respectfully and smiled warmly.
Although he is dressed as a young hero, his face is still a bit immature, but his words are quaint. There is no loneliness when autumn comes, which means that money around the waist is precious, just like the leaves fall in the autumn wind, and it is difficult to leave any trace, but when the spring breeze comes, all the money for drinks and drinks will be counted on the speaker, just like when spring comes, everything will grow, and the money bag will still be counted. It's generous, please serve a table of food and drinks, and create a good relationship.
Someone was quite dissatisfied and said sarcastically, "The situation is not the same every year. The immature boys who should be reading sages' articles in school and eating from their teachers are now coming to the rivers and lakes to beg for food. I They are all members of the sect in Fengyou County, how can they be friends with you, a young man who has just entered the world? You don't have much ability, but your spirit is extremely high."
The man at the head was also disdainful and sincerely teased the young man. He raised his glass and said with a smile, "That young man is not afraid of life, but it is just a small amount of money for drinks. He is too small-minded. You must know that all the brothers like me have been rolled on the tip of a knife." In a life-and-death friendship, if you want to join forces, it depends on the means." Then he raised his finger and pointed at a strong man, and said with a smile, "It's better to live a life of love with my brother, and it's never too late."
The strong man bared his teeth, took off a pair of short axes from his waist, and laughed loudly, "It doesn't matter, since it's the hall master's order, we will fight with you, but it's hard to keep the weapons. If the street fights later, Seeing blood in front of you, I am willing to admit defeat, and there is no need to go to the government office to cry for injustice."
The young man nodded, still smiling clearly, "I know the rules, brother, no matter what you do, even if you break your arms or your head, you will get the consequences for yourself."
"How courageous." The man's words did not reach the ground. He used his axes early and struck with a very vicious attitude.
But the young man just pressed the hilt of the sword and had no intention of drawing it out, and the sword light splashed out like a wave.
