Suburban wine shop.
The store was dark, and the already cold environment seemed to add a bit of chill. Several large white lanterns hung listlessly between the pillars in the store, reflecting a dim green light.
The landlady is all in white and the shopkeeper is all in black.
In this environment, it seems even more terrifying.
The pretty boss lady covered her mouth and giggled, her branches trembling wildly, causing the young man's eyes to shine, and he just wanted to pounce on him right away.
"Why are you so crazy? Why don't you go get another jar of good wine?"
The fair face of the shopkeeper in black froze. When he saw Li Jing sitting there silently, he slowly looked away and strode towards the wine cellar at the back.
The rosy-faced lady boss also suddenly spoke up.
"I'm sorry, everyone. The boss is not feeling well today, and the restaurant will be closed later. All drinks are free of charge today. I hope it's convenient for you..."
The butcher who couldn't stop complaining turned his head, his eyes were bloodshot. Although he looked scary, he gave the proprietress a polite hug. Without saying much, he staggered out of the door holding the small jar of wine.
The middle-aged man remained silent, threw a few rusty copper coins on the table, crouched and walked out.
Only the young man pointed at the old god Li Jing sitting there with a calm expression, while his shining eyes were focused on the bulging breasts of the landlady.
"This man, why doesn't he go out?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the landlady, who had always been smiling charmingly, suddenly changed her expression.
"Bah! You despicable thing. If I hadn't opened a tavern, I would have dug out your eyes long ago. Don't seek death while I'm in a good mood!"
Not only was the young man not afraid, but he puffed up his chest. I don’t know if it was because the shopkeeper usually didn’t show up much and was weak, but now he showed a look of wantonness on his face: “I just looked at you. So what? I dress like this just to show others..."
The young man's voice stopped suddenly, and a plain white hand suddenly appeared from behind him. The sticky blood-red substance fell down smoothly from the fingers of that hand.
The shopkeeper held the wine in one hand and withdrew his hand.
"Things who don't know life or death dare to run wild on the impermanent territory. I have kept you here until now, but it's just not the time to claim your life!"
The shopkeeper's voice was slightly feminine, and coupled with his familiar face, the identities of the two were easily revealed.
It was the Chang brothers and sisters who were let go by Li Jing in Fengxiang.
Chang Haoling, Chang Xuanling.
Black and white are impermanent.
The young man's wide-eyed face suddenly sunk like a dead fish that had lost its water.
Then turned into a mummy.
"Hei Wu often declares spirit, Bai Wu often declares spirit. I have met Your Highness."
After taking care of the dirty thing, the two of them bowed to Li Jing to the end and spoke respectfully.
Li Jing put one hand on the sword box next to him, pulled out the lid of the wine jar with the other, and asked with interest.
"Chang Xuanling didn't recognize me when I was so close just now, how did you recognize me?"
Chang Haoling raised his head and saw a sharp hawk-like gaze piercing the green face.
He hurriedly lowered his head and smiled awkwardly: "As soon as the villain came out, I recognized His Highness from a distance just by his heroic temperament. Why do you need to see the face to recognize someone..."
Before in Yuzhou City, he knew that Li Jing was good at disguise.
Chang Xuanling, who was next to him, felt the young man's eyes moving over, and his delicate body trembled subconsciously.
"Sir, we followed your instructions and did not do anything harmful to nature..."
Li Jing just waved his hand. In fact, he was not a nosy person like Li Xingyun. He was just curious. These two people were indeed brave enough.
"You two were wanted by the Xuanming Sect before. There is almost no hiding place in the Central Plains. I didn't expect that you two would open such a wine shop just outside Bianzhou City."
Chang Haoling raised his head, lowered his eyebrows and smiled meekly: "Before, my little sister and I were ordinary people. We were under the control of the Xuanming Sect, so we had to help others... Fortunately, His Highness gave me some advice. After Fengxiang left, he met a wealthy businessman from Yikang who gave him some silver, and then he thought of opening a wine shop here..."
Li Jing only found it funny, Kang's wealthy businessman? I'm afraid I've ended up in the underworld.
But there is no reason to be bold. As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is actually the safest.
Presumably everyone in the Xuanming Sect didn't know that the two of them would open such a wine shop next to their lair.
Glancing at the duo who were standing there with low eyebrows and bent over, Li Jing smiled and pointed to the seat opposite: "Okay, everyone, sit down. I'm not a man-eating tiger. You happen to be here, It’s okay, I’ll go find other people from the Xuanming Sect.”
Although Chang Haoling and Chang Xuanling have erased their previous black and white ghostly makeup, there is still an indescribable sense of femininity in every line.
"I came to Bianzhou this time to find someone from the Xuanming Sect..."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, as long as they are from the Xuanming Sect, as long as my brother and I are here, they can be captured by you in water or fire!"
Before Li Jing finished speaking, Chang Xuanling rushed to answer. This caused Chang Haoling to keep tugging on her sleeves under the table nearby, fearing to offend Li Jing.
This little girl just likes to steal the conversation from the people above her...
Li Jing didn't think anything was wrong. She dipped her finger in the wine and drew a picture on the table, revealing a simple picture of Sinan.
"The person I'm looking for is Thief Saint Wen Tao. Do you two know where he is?"
When he said this, the two people, Black and White, who were confident before, now stiffened their faces. Finally, Chang Haoling smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest with you, Your Highness, he has always been looking for Wen Tao, and no one else has." His statement... He is proficient in the art of searching for dragons and divining acupoints, and he also has some experience in divination..."
"We don't dare to guarantee whether we can find him for His Highness..."
Li Jing frowned a little. In the impression, the only one who could directly contact Wen Tao on a single line now was Meng Po. But it doesn't make sense. Ask Po Meng. You know, Po Meng is Shi Yao.
To let her know that he was looking for Wen Tao, Yuan Tiangang might have guessed his thoughts later.
"But Your Highness, I suddenly thought of something..."
At this time, Chang Haoling suddenly made a sound, attracting Li Jing's attention.
Seeing Li Jing and Chang Xuanling looking over curiously, Chang Haoling smiled: "Every year at the beginning of winter, famous minds in the Xuanming Sect gather at the main helm. I just don't know that Wen Tao..."
2k
Li Jing closed her eyes, today is the tenth day of October. All in all, there are still three days left before the beginning of winter.
"No matter what, I am bound to find this person. Thank you very much."
Li Jing didn't take a sip from the jar of wine. She stood up and cupped her hands. The two of them suddenly stood up in fear.
Li Jing smiled before speaking again.
"Thinking about it, if I go to the Xuanming Sect, I have to think of a way."
