Laughing at Chang'an

Wine-stained plums are easy to make. Wash the fresh greengage, remove the head, drain and soak in wine.It was originally a by-product of making plum wine, but for a sad person like Li Shen who had a grudge against wine in his previous life, the brewed plum wine was given away, and the leftover plums were his food.

When he was young, his family lived next to Yanhu Lake, and the nearby Yanshan Mountain was rich in green plums. Whenever the fruits were ripe, his mother would open a tank to brew plum wine.The wine belongs to the Yu family in the town, the best daughter Hong, the old man Yu is in his fifties, he reserves a few jars for his mother every year, and they don’t charge any money. When the plum wine is made, just give him a jar. .When Li Shen was a child, he couldn't get used to the old man. He always felt that people had bad intentions for his mother, and that toads wanted to eat swan meat, so guarding against people was the same as guarding against thieves.Later, when his mother passed away, Old Man Yu bought the wine shop, and used all his savings to buy Li Shen an airboat ticket to Chang'an, and then left the town quietly, never to be seen again.

Old man Yu gave wine for more than ten years, just to see the person in his heart smile.This silent waiting, after all, has withered before it can bear fruit.

Li Shen picked up a plum from the plate and chewed it in his mouth. It tasted good, but it was still a bit different from the one his mother made in his memory.He withdrew his thoughts of running away, and turned his gaze to Li Tieyi who was sitting across from him. He was also an elderly man. Compared to Hades, who was always a little naughty, Li Tieyi was much more normal...at least no one A habit of walking around in pajamas.

"It is impossible for Wang Zhen to rely on his own comprehension to enter the gods with a sword. I can say that there must be someone behind his back." Li Tieyi said bluntly without hesitation, and his attitude was very frank. "Who is standing behind him?" Who, what purpose, that's what I care about."

It took Li Shen a few seconds to digest the other party's words. As he said, Yang Huxing made a gun, and Li Shen knew this better than anyone else.It does not make sense for a master who uses a gun to teach an apprentice who uses a sword to become a god. He didn't think about it before, but Li Tieyi's words are right. Wang Zhen realized the possibility of using a sword to become a god by himself. Sex, almost non-existent.

Take Li Shen himself as an example. He also uses a sword. Both his understanding and combat experience are definitely enough, but he has not been able to comprehend the magic of using a sword. What is missing is such a small opportunity.This thing is really not something that can be understood just by enlightenment. The foundation at Wang Zhen's age must be taught and led by someone in order to learn it well.

So, this thing is really weird.

"... Excuse me for asking." Li Shen frowned and said, "What are you going to do?"

Under Li Shen's watchful eyes, the leader of Huiguang, who had been evaluated as "mediocre" all his life, shook his head with a smile, and answered his question in four words.

"Look and talk."

Perhaps to confirm his words, an old man dressed as a butler knocked on the door and walked in, whispering in Li Tieyi's ear.At this distance, if Li Shen wanted to listen, he would naturally be able to hear everything, and the other party knew this, so he was not afraid of him listening.

Li Tieyi's complexion changed slightly.

After the steward retreated, he raised his head and said to Li Shen: "Wang Zhen was hunted down in Yuehe, and now he has fled to the vicinity of the Guangming Tower. He took a taxi, and he probably wanted to go back to your house on Gubai Road, but According to my information, there is something wrong with that taxi driver."

"His name is Xue Lang, formerly known as Xue Bailang, he used to be a cadre of the Hungry Wolf Group, do you remember?"

Li Shen raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, some long-standing memories were awakened by this name.

He sighed.

"I have a little impression of this name."

"I think I broke three of his legs."

………………

Wang Zhen sat in a taxi.

Outside the car window is the famous Chang'an Guangming Pagoda.The thirteen-storey Guangming Tower is surrounded by a row of high-rise buildings in the center, which is gray and inconspicuous.This tower is as old as this city, and even though it has been repaired year after year, the dilapidated smell of the tower still cannot be concealed.Many tourists who come here here usually come excitedly, leave in resentment, and don't even bother to go in - so they also miss the exquisite rune carvings in the tower, and the unique diamond jade in Quanfanglu. Bright Monument.

Don't just look at the surface of everything, this is the truth.

Wang Zhen clutched his mobile phone and thought about whether to call the adjutant. On the one hand, he didn't know if the masked man had really left, and on the other hand, he didn't know what he could do if he called the adjutant.Li Shen couldn't get through on the phone no matter what, God knows where he went, the young man was helpless, but also had a faint sense of foreboding.

He couldn't help rubbing his forehead irritably.

"Don't frown, Sao Nian." The driver said in front, "Let me play a song for you."

Wang Zhen was stunned for a moment, and was about to say no, when he heard a heart-piercing scream coming from the stereo in the car, which made him tremble all over.This was just the beginning, and the next howl was worse than a howl, and his little heart throbbed with pain... After howling a song, he finally found the time to shout to the driver, "Don't let it go!"

The driver let out an oh, and stopped the music playback in an unpleasant manner.

"I say Sao Nian, life is like a strong beep." The driver said to Wang Zhen solemnly with a strange accent, "Since you can't resist, why don't you lie down and enjoy the spicy food, it's also very good."

Wang Zhen really wanted to tell him, you better shut up.Are drivers so annoying these days?

Thinking of this, he glanced out the window, then frowned, and asked the driver: "Hey, did you go the wrong way? I'm going to Dongcheng, why did you go to Suzaku Avenue?"

The driver said impatiently, "I know Chang'an City better than you, so just sit down."

Wang Zhen was silent for a moment, looked out of the car window for a while, and confirmed that he was getting further and further away. He took a deep breath and said, "Stop."

As expected, the driver did not stop, and Wang Zhenxin's bad guess became true. He silently grasped the Dragon and Sparrow Twin Blades beside him, raised his head, and looked indifferently at the rearview mirror directly in front of him.

"Little friend, be obedient, don't move around." The driver driving in front laughed fiercely, and without looking back, he raised his right index finger at Wang Zhen and shook it left and right, "If you are disobedient, Shu Shu I'm going to spank your ass."

Wang Zhen was disgusted by this neurosis, he moved his eyes imperceptibly left and right, looking for an opportunity to escape.He knew that he was being targeted, and it was confirmed that the other party had probably set up a net, just waiting for him to jump in... The only good thing is that the other party does not seem to want to take his life.

Who is the one?glow?Blood massacre?Or the Geng Army?

Li Shen was also asking this question, to Li Tieyi.

"I'm investigating this Xue Lang who just appeared out of nowhere." Li Tieyi's tone was a bit subtle, "He was maimed by you. After the Hungry Wolf Group disbanded, he left Chang'an and went to the South China Sea...he changed his career as a pirate. And married a local mixed-race woman."

Li Shen was a little silent, and the rise of the Geng Army was also full of blood, and the Hungry Wolf Group was just an insignificant example.At that time, he was killing people almost every day, 24 hours a day without a single minute of peace, and sometimes his meal would be interrupted several times... At that time, even when he drank water, his mouth smelled of blood.

The reason why he beat the disabled Xue Lang was because he came to find fault with him, and he flirted with Li Shen's face very cheaply.He was not killed because the conflict between the Geng Army and the Hungry Wolf Group hadn't reached the level of death at that time. this.The next plot is a routine, Xue Lang was beaten and disabled, the hungry wolf group refused to give up and launched revenge, so they began to kill people, and then the Geng army took several opposing missions against the hungry wolf group, killing the opponent until the group was wiped out, By the way, accepting the other party's inheritance and turning it into a stepping stone on the road to one's own rise... It's probably the same routine.

The role played by Li Shen is the knife that kills people.

Sometimes he would also think about what would happen to Geng Yan if he no longer needed his knife.He can't even remember the people he killed. How many deadly feuds he has made is really unknown. If one day Geng Yan throws him out as an outcast, I don't know how many people want to pounce on him to eat his flesh and peel his skin .Assuming that day really comes, with this knife, the city of Chang'an that he is about to kill may be bleeding into rivers.

To be honest, he wasn't scared.

On the contrary, I have some expectations.

………………

A white and blue taxi speeds along Suzaku Avenue.

Wang Zhen sat silently in the back row, looking through the car window, he could vaguely see the wall outside the southern city in the distance.The entire South City is surrounded by walls. If you continue to walk in this direction, you will have to pass through the checkpoint before you enter the South City.When passing through the checkpoint, he must stop and be inspected, and that is his best chance to escape.

He watched the driver reveal half of the back of the seat back, quietly adjusting his breathing.

Seeing that the checkpoint in front of him was getting closer and closer, the driver who had never harassed Wang Zhen suddenly asked, "Are you excited now? Excited? So nervous that you can't speak?"

Wang Zhen closed his eyes and meditated, thinking he was farting.

"I understand your feelings." The driver said relentlessly, "Really, I really understand. I guess you must be very scared and want to kill people. You also complain about Li Shen who didn't come to save you, right?"

Wang Zhen quietly opened his eyes.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." The driver said cheerfully, stepped on the brake, raised his hand and greeted the guard standing in front of the checkpoint, "I..."

The sword light suddenly appeared.

The roof with an extremely flat section flew out obliquely, and slammed into the iron guardrail in front of the checkpoint with a twirling bang. Wang Zhen rolled and fell to the ground. The moment his right foot touched the ground, he exerted force, and he hunched forward and rushed forward. out.The guard's shouts were left behind by him, and he held the long and short knives upside down in both hands, jumped over the guardrail, and rushed into Nancheng.

The road ahead is smooth.

Then he stopped without warning, lowered his head, and looked at his chest.

There was a pointy thing there, like an awl, and the scarlet liquid slipped from the metal surface and fell to the ground drop by drop.Wang Zhen looked at his own blood indifferently, feeling extremely calm.

A hand clapped his shoulder.

"So I said, don't be afraid, I will let you die very quickly."
