Me and my Jianghu Tavern

On the day of his wedding, he was like a walking dead, and he didn't even touch her in the bridal chamber. He just slept at the table all night.

After Li Rouyi entered the Hou Mansion, she took care of the money in the inner treasury, even if Hong Qingyu ignored her, she did all of this conscientiously.

This Hou Mansion is like a cage, imprisoning Hong Qingyu's restless heart.

Finally, on a snowy night.

He left a letter and left Chang'an just like four years ago.

After being married for a year, Hong Qingyu also spent a year with Li Rouyi.

Speaking of which, Hong Qingyu feels most guilty about Li Rouyi.

Li Rouyi is a good girl, but also a poor person, but Dou Ko Nianhua knows everything, what she fears most is abandonment, just like Li Ao abandoned her back then.

From Hong Qingyu's point of view, she could have married someone better, but he was the one who harmed her.

At that time, Hong Qingyu swore silently.

——After returning this time, I will no longer be a heartless person.

Hearing this, Zhang Ming paused and said, "But Hong Qingyu still abandoned her."

"You can say that." Monk Nian'an nodded.

"Is this princess very poor?"

"Li Rouyi's mother was thrown into the cold palace by Li Ao for more than ten years, and she has never seen her. The shopkeeper should be able to imagine how she spent her childhood." Nian An said.

Zhang Ming opened his eyes, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He just sighed silently and said, "Understood, let's continue."

The world is in chaos and the common people are in dire straits. Xiao He, King of Jin, raised his troops and went straight to Chang'an. Li Ao swung his sword and killed himself in front of the dragon chair.

Hong Qingyu rushed back to Chang'an after hearing the news, but the Hou Mansion no longer existed, and Li Rouyi didn't know where she went.

It was also that night that he sneaked into Da Nei Prison and rescued the infant Li Rong.

"Isn't he looking for Li Rouyi?" Zhang Ming asked.

"Hong Qingyu found the wrong place." Monk Nian An explained: "Who would have thought that Xiao He, seeing Li Rouyi's pity, did not imprison her in Da Nei Prison, but temporarily arranged her in the harem."

"Hong Qingyu can enter the inner prison, but it may not be able to enter the harem."

Zhang Ming was puzzled, and asked: "What's the reason? Could it be that this harem is as dangerous as the Great Inner Prison?

"Actually, the reason is very simple. If Hong Qingyu wants to enter the harem, he must go through the Qin Tianjian." Monk Nian An said.

"I see."

Qin Tianjian seemed to be guarding outside the harem, if Hong Qingyu approached, Kong Yue would definitely find him.

Hong Qingyu returned without success, and since then, she has never entered Dachen Palace again.

Because he knew that if he went in again, he would die.

But he just wanted to see Li Rouyi again.

At that time, he made an oath that he would never be a betrayer when he came back this time, but now that he came back, he failed to keep his promise.

"He gave up?" Zhang Ming asked.

"No." Nian An stood up and sighed, "He knelt at the gate of Qin Tianjian all night."

Re-entering the palace, but not as a thief, but kneeling at the gate of Qin Tianjian, kneeling all night.

It's just that that night, the gate of Qin Tianjian was never opened, and Kong Yue never saw him.

Hong Qingyu understood that he had no chance again.

It was also after that night that Hong Qingyu was involved in any Jianghu affairs again.

The name Thief Saint also disappeared in the rivers and lakes.

Everyone in the rivers and lakes thought he was dead, but who knew that he was just waiting for someone.

Back then, the Saint Pirates waited bitterly, outside Chang'an City, on the top of Ling Yun, waiting in the four seas, waiting for ten, twenty, forty years...

Up to now, what Hong Qingyu regrets the most is that she has become a coward.

When he came out of the rivers and lakes again, he was already an old man.

He knew in his heart that if it was too late, he might not have a chance.

In some people's eyes, some things can be life-threatening.

That day, Hong Qingyu stood in front of Qingping Palace, looking at Xiao Qian who was sitting on the dragon chair, she was no longer timid.

Desperate for his life, Counselor finally made up his mind, but this day was 40 years too late.

He is going to meet someone.

To meet someone who, for over 40 years, has been waiting.

Zhang Ming was silent for a long time, his brows moved slightly and he sighed, "The Saint Thief also has things that cannot be stolen, and the years that cannot be stolen, he will eventually grow old."

Chapter 264: You know too much

Just when Zhang Ming wanted to ask again, he heard Monk Nian An say, "But in the end, he still couldn't see Li Rouyi."

Zhang Ming was startled, and looked up at Monk Nian'an.

"Amitabha." Monk Nian'an folded his palms together and said, "The thing he regrets the most in his life is being a coward."

"Li Rouyi..." Zhang Ming said in a daze.

"En." Nian'an nodded slightly, needless to say.

Zhang Ming didn't care about him at all, but he didn't like it when he heard it.

Monk Nian An said: "Hong Qingyu is waiting, why not Li Rouyi, but she is a mortal after all, unable to escape life, old age, sickness and death, Hong Qingyu has been waiting for 40 years for nothing."

"I regret it to death." Zhang Ming said.

"Li Rouyi is the only belief that has supported him until now." Monk Nian'an nodded slightly, and said, "That's why, that day in Qingping Hall, he asked Kong Yue for a sword and went with her together."

"So it wasn't Kong Yue who wanted to kill him." Zhang Ming said.

The love between the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, this love that lasted for more than 40 years, is over.

Zhang Ming was stunned for a moment, but suddenly said: "In this way, it can be regarded as the end of life, but, it's just..."

Seeing that Zhang Ming opened his mouth slightly, he finally sighed and said, "I don't know what to say."

"Then stop talking."

"Ah."

Zhang Ming feels that he is not a very emotional person, but whenever he hears this kind of thing, he always inexplicably substitutes himself into it and feels the mood of the characters in the story.

It's like reading a novel, when you read it, you always feel that you are the protagonist.

But, not everything is beautiful.

"What about Yin Li and the others?" Zhang Ming asked.

Monk Nian'an said: "Xiao Qian is not a fool. People in the Jianghu can be offended but he can't offend them all. This time the Momen's reappearance in the Jianghu is just the beginning. No matter how it is, it is not enough to rely on the power of the imperial court. After all, it is necessary to rely on these Jianghu. power."

"So, he bowed his head?"

"No." Nian An shook his head and said, "He used other methods to compensate them, but that doesn't mean he bowed his head. Xiao He can bow his head, but Xiao Qian can't, because he is the Son of Heaven, the Ninth Five Supreme."

"how about you?"

"what?"

"What do you want?"

Monk Nian'an smiled slightly, and replied: "I have discussed the way with the Grand Master, and this is what I want."

"Okay, if you don't tell me, I won't ask any more."

Zhang Ming got up, and Zhang Ming didn't ask any more questions about Feihua Terrace and Baihua Valley, he was tired of listening.

It's getting late, so let's go to bed early,

.........

.........

[The host tasted [Bamboo Wine (Inferior Quality)], tasting progress: 23.4%]

[The host has tasted [Seven Medicinal Wine (medium quality)], tasting progress: 13%]

[Mission: Chang'an Regional Mission (10/10) (Completed)]

[Mission Rewards]: Martial Arts Enlightenment Card x 1, Designated wine-making materials (two types), wines for this mission included in the wine list (to be released), lightness skill "Cloud", fingering "Broken", legwork "Twist"

There are many rewards for this mission, "Cloud" is a light exercise, the fingering method "Broken", and the leg method "Twist" are all good methods.

Zhang Ming just opened it to look at it, and then entered the system space.

The rewards for this mission are very generous. All the wines that meet the mission requirements are included in the wine list. That is to say, the ingredients of these wines are still part of the rewards.

There is also the item of specifying wine-making materials, which Zhang Ming has always wanted.

【Banxian Wine (Wine Recipe)】

[Materials required]: Red and blue fruit, golden pool flower, Baiyun grass, Tianfeng fruit, blue maple fairy grass...a drop of blood from the sword fairy.

There are a total of twelve materials in total, and now Zhang Ming has only found red and blue fruits, which is much worse.

"I want phoenix fruit and white cloud grass." Zhang Ming said.

As soon as the voice fell, the two materials were received in the system space, and he took them out to have a look.

The so-called phoenix fruit is a red fruit that looks like an apple, but the leaves of this fruit are like phoenix feathers, which is why it is called phoenix fruit.

Baiyuncao is a seemingly ordinary grass. According to the introduction, it grows on cliffs and is accompanied by clouds, so it is called Baiyuncao.

【Banished Immortal Wine (Material Collection Progress: 3/12)】

"Not bad." Zhang Ming smiled slightly, the mission reward this time did not disappoint him.

However, Zhang Ming didn't feel much about the remaining [Martial Arts Comprehension Card].

This thing is a good thing in the first place, and after using it, other people's will will invade my mind. This time, it was only with the help of that wine master that I finally got rid of the distracting thoughts of those three people.

In short, Zhang Ming didn't plan to use this thing unless it was absolutely necessary.

"You can go back to Jian'an." Zhang Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

It's interesting to hang around, but it's not bad to be a shopkeeper in a tavern.

"The shopkeeper is leaving?" Monk Nian'an asked.

Zhang Ming hugged Xiaoqi and nodded, "Leave tomorrow."

"Chang'an is so prosperous, why don't shopkeepers go around more often?" Nian'an said with a smile.

Zhang Ming shook his head and said, "Farewell, I don't want to stay here, hide far away, and never come here again in this life."

Nian An smiled and didn't ask any more questions.

From Nian An's point of view, there is no need for Zhang Ming to be afraid. The current Kong Yue will not embarrass Zhang Ming, because it is not yet time.

But if the time comes, even if you run to the ends of the earth, you won't be able to escape.

.........

The sun was scorching hot, and a carriage drove out of the gate of Chang'an.

The monk in cassock sat in front of the carriage and drove the horse, holding a rosary in his hand and muttering in his mouth.

After a while, only a voice came from inside the carriage.

"Monk, are you free? Or do you want to follow me on purpose?"

"This trip to Jian'an is to find someone."

"It's up to you, having you as the groom will save a lot of trouble."

Zhang Ming wanted to leave, but Monk Nian'an said that he would go to Jian'an with Zhang Ming, saying that he had to do something.

Zhang Ming naturally didn't believe his words, this monk was very capable, and his skills in lying were not bad.
