After the old blacksmith invited Bai Feng to gather in front of the hall, he was busy arranging the set of copper wine-making utensils. He was very content and did not say anything to the two juniors who came with him. He was just tinkering there. Coke, baking wine.
Until the aroma of the wine was evaporated by the firewood, the old blacksmith brought the wine glass and poured a cup for everyone to soothe the anger caused by the fight with others.
Bai Feng and E Feiying each took a seat and sat side by side, opposite the old blacksmith. At first, the two knights thought this was strange, but after smelling the aroma of wine, they simply forgot about it and didn't ask for a deeper explanation. The two of them just wanted to try it first and drank the warm wine.
After the female hero drank it, she felt a wave of heat in her chest rushing to the door, praising the wine for its mellow and sweet taste; after the young swordsman had eaten it, he covered his head and caressed his face, as if recalling the last time he drank in Jade. Full of interesting things.
"This wine has not been out of the cellar for many years. Because my old friend has not come here for a long time, I have to drink it alone, which is boring." The old blacksmith also drank a glass of wine with the two juniors, and then sighed happily, He said: "Young Master Bai, did you learn the sword moves just now from the 'White Snake Immortal'?"
"Senior Tuoba?" Bai Feng was overjoyed, and the smell of alcohol on his face immediately disappeared. Just when he was about to respond, the heroic young lady on the side suddenly held out a hand.
I saw E Feiying holding a glass of wine and saying, "This name sounds familiar... but I don't know who it is? It's just that this wine has tasted sweet and glutinous, and the aftertaste has a touch of warm and spicy taste, which is very intoxicating." ...I want another pot!"
After hearing this, the old blacksmith didn't mean to blame him at all. Instead, he smiled at the drunken little face. Then he filled a glass of wine for the other party and said with a smile: "Come, let's drink and talk in detail!"
"Senior Tuoba, Miss E is already drunk, so don't drink anymore!" Bai Feng said, making a show of grabbing the glass of wine. If the old blacksmith hadn't intervened, the two knights would have quarreled over the wine glasses.
"Bai Shaoxia, forgive Miss E for all the trouble she has been having recently, just let her get drunk and rest!" The old blacksmith suddenly said sadly: "According to the wanted order spread throughout the city, a righteous person like Bai Shaoxia will never do it without reason. If you harm others, you must be framed."
"Humph! It's better to be grandpa, not like this guy, he will only make people upset!"
"This... ugh!" Bai Feng knew that he was in the wrong, so he could only force the old blacksmith's will and took another drink.
"Your compassionate temperament is similar to that of your master." The old blacksmith looked at the turbid wine in his hand and recalled: "The name of this wine is 'Jie Qianchou'. It was originally brought by the 'White Snake Immortal'. When we meet next time, we can drink and chat with each other, but it is a pity that more than ten years have passed and there is no sign of him."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ayu from the blacksmith's house walked in with the iron tools he had made. It was a small and exquisite dagger, but to the naked eye, it seemed more suitable to be hung around the waist to ward off evil than to use it to stab people and cut flesh.
Seeing that his grandfather rarely drank and talked with others, Ayu himself became happy. He seemed to have forgotten most of the fight in front of his house just now. He stepped forward and said, "Grandpa, look at Ayu's craftsmanship!"
"Well...it looks pretty good, but the patterns on it are blurry. I need to have Grandpa make another two or three more refined ones someday."
"Then...ask Ayu to get some more wine?"
"No, Ayu, hurry up and pack your bags. We can't stay here for long. After Dr. Tao's business is done, we'd better hide in the 'ancient tomb' for a while."
After the old blacksmith finished speaking, Ayuxuan agreed, leaving the two knights in front of him who were drunk with wine.
"Old senior, what is an 'ancient tomb'?" Bai Feng thought about the story of the mausoleum that Zhao Xiaomei once talked about, and already had an inference in her mind, but at this time, she still needed to confirm it personally.
The old blacksmith said: "Hehehe... do you know the old man's name?"
"Appreciate further details!"
"Old man's original surname is 'Yuan', and his name contains the character 'Feng'. He changed his surname to Tuoba just to avoid danger."
"Yuan Fengzi? You are Yuan Fengzi!" E Feiying was shocked, and then she grabbed the arm of the young man beside her and rejoiced with joy. Perhaps it was the alcohol that made her look better than Bai Feng. I am even more excited.
"At first, I thought that Bai Shaoxia was a thief who stole the sword. After seeing the wanted notice, I was almost convinced! It wasn't until I saw the posture of your Excellency when he was confronting the person that I dared to make up my mind to come and recognize him!" Yuan Fengzi He said: "Looking at the damage of Longming Sword, Master is..."
"Master passed away a few months ago..."
"Alas, after waiting for many years, I still missed it after all. I'm afraid I have to wait for the next life to repay that friendship and promise."
Seeing Yuan Fengzi so melancholy, Bai Feng knew that his friendship with his master was extraordinary, but he didn't know why he moved to the ancient tomb for a while, so he bowed and asked: "Excuse me, old man, why do you want to retreat to the 'ancient tomb'?" It has been repulsed and should not attack again for the time being."
"You are just starting out, so you don't know the dangers of the world." Yuan Fengzi said: "How can such a vicious madman care about justice? In order to achieve his goal, he will only use all means. Even if he faces his former enemy, For the sake of temporary benefits, he will also put aside his status and join forces with others. Therefore, we who are in the light will naturally avoid it whenever we can. When this storm passes, it will not be too late for you to hurry up."
Bai Feng nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and felt that what the other party said was true. However, when he saw the broken sword in his hand, he couldn't help but think of the purpose of this trip, "Senior Senator, do you think this sword... can be repaired as before?"
"Hahaha, let's talk about this matter when we get to the ancient tomb! Let's have a good drink now, but when we get to the ancient tomb, we won't be greeted with good wine and meat!"
After hearing this, Bai Feng had no choice but to comply with the old man's wish and drank a few more times. He listened to the other man talking about old things in a daze. It seemed as if these things happened yesterday, which made others emotional. .
After several rounds of drinking, it was already afternoon. The heroic heroine had already fallen asleep on her seat, while the two people next to her were still talking about trivial matters; Murong Yan and the dying Fu Wentao walked out of the room, acknowledged the others, and then rushed to the carriage, waiting for Ayu to pack up his luggage and put the dry food on the carriage hidden at the corner of the street, and everything was ready to go.
After Bai Feng picked up the sleeping E Feiying in the car, everyone left the Yuan family's ancestral home, intending to send Tao Wuyong back to the post house first, and asked him to carry a message to inform Zhao Kuo and others of their whereabouts. Then he rented an oxcart, pretending to be transporting goods, and hid Wu Shi and Fu Wentao, who was also being hunted by the Fu family, in it. Bai Feng and Murong Yan found another way out of the city through a sparsely populated path under disguise.
Fortunately, the security at the Lingcheng checkpoint was not very tight, and the town was already in ruins, with the government neglecting to control it. In other words, they had only received orders in recent days to carry out extensive visits on the streets to look for wanted persons. Therefore, Bai Feng and others slipped out of the city relatively easily. They gathered in front of the small post outside the city and successfully embarked on the road to the rumored "previous dynasty's imperial mausoleum".
