Chapter 8 Teenagers kill tigers without swords
Since the blood and fire escape, Xiao Li hasn't felt the moment of relaxation like now for a long time. He doesn't know why. Maybe it's just because the other party's smile is like this spring breeze, which makes people feel warm.
"Murder...? Hahaha! Why do you think so? I just want to use this piece of gold to buy you for half a day, and there is nothing else to ask for!"
"Buy for a long time...? But will time be valuable?"
The young man chopping the wood-cutting eyes widened and began to feel a little confused about what the other person was saying.
"Of course time is valuable! The ancients said it well, every inch of time is worth every inch of money, and a gold cannot buy a short time... Have you never heard of this sentence?"
Seeing the young man chopping wood, he shook his head with some difficulty. The young man in white laughed and patted his forehead, as if he had thought of something. Then he said with some self-deprecating words.
"Oh... I almost forgot. Of course you probably haven't heard of it. Haha! The time is a little wrong... Alas! I suddenly changed the environment and I was really uncomfortable for a while!"
Hearing his words to himself and looking at his strange behavior, Xiao Li felt more and more that the handsome young man in front of him might be in a bad mood.
"I'd better give you this gold! My time is not worth much... the only thing that is valuable is this load of firewood. And they don't need so much!"
Murong Licheng threw the ingot of gold to the other party, then turned around and left. He had never heard of anyone buying time with gold. He was entangled with a person with mental problems, but he had no interest.
"Wait, wait... Since you don't have money, how about I invite you to drink? The best wine is absolutely not available in the world outside!"
When he heard the other person's words in his ear, Xiao Li's steps stopped again. He had not drunk alcohol for many days. Last time he drank, he just wanted to kill someone! Thinking of the smell of strong wine that had been wrapped around his lips and tongue, he couldn't help swallowing. When he turned around, he saw that the smile on the white-clothed young man's face was extremely bright in the spring sunshine.
"Oh well!"
So, half an hour later, in a simple residence in the mountain, the young man chopping the wood who had suppressed his shocked mood all the way, looked at the young master in white with an extremely eager look as he ordered a servant with a knife to pick up the green wine. Then he broke the mud seal with his own hands, and a clear fragrance of wine lingered around with the fragrance of peach and plum blossoms.
The young man took a deep breath and his eyes were bright. Only in front of the wine and sword would the sharpness in his heart be revealed without any concealment. When he reached out to take it, he took it carefully. The full cup handed to him by the other party was clear and gentle, and the wine was strong. The cup was a glass cup, and the wine was not the color of the human world!
"Good wine...! What's the name of this wine?"
A full cup of his head held high into his throat. Although he was a ragged boy, his every move showed his heroic spirit. He felt a sweet and spicy feeling that he had never tasted before and blurted out his mouth.
"If the cup you drink has a name, it's called Taohuaxue!"
The young man in plain white clothes looked at the ragged gray shirt with a smile, and seemed to have guessed that he would like such wine. The young man drank three big cups in a heart-wrenching momentum, then put down the wine cup with care and raised his head and said solemnly.
"My name is Murong Licheng. I will be rewarded if I drink your wine today! Can the young master let me know my name?"
"Chu Jiangmian...hehe!"
This was their first meeting. Many years later, Murong Licheng, who was as arrogant as a tiger, was called the No. 1 general in the world! During the glorious years, even though he could not remember many past events, he could only remember every detail of the encounter between the mountain mountain.
Eight thousand miles of turbulent winds and clouds, thirty years of golden swords and iron horses. But this body is stained with blood, and many heroes are killed... Perhaps, everything that is destined to happen is just because I drank the peach blossom snow of Chu Jiangmian this spring.
What could shock Xiaoli was obviously not that simple. He and his sister had lived at the foot of the mountain for two years, going to the mountain to collect firewood in all seasons. But they never expected that they would meet a person like Chu Jiangmian in this valley.
This valley is located in the Chaoyang area of Zhongyue Mountain. There are several abandoned palaces nearby, which should be where the Zhou emperors occasionally came to hunt and lived. However, they have been disrepaired for a long time and are already dilapidated. Peaches and plums are planted inside and outside the valley, and I don’t know when and what people did it. Anyway, there are tens of millions of trees, almost covering half of the mountain.
In fact, according to the legend of the old people in Luocheng, everyone believes that this peach forest in the valley is formed by the unyielding god who fought against heaven and earth when his life was finally exhausted.
Peach trees fall on the earth on earth, carrying the unyielding momentum between heaven and earth, and fall here into a sea of flowers. Whenever spring comes, peach blossoms bloom everywhere, it seems that you can still hear sighs from ancient times. The desolate luck that will never stop until the wish is fulfilled has been infused with all living things in the Central Plains...
Now is the season when spring is budding and the fragrance lingers in the Peach Blossom Valley. When the wood-cutting boy was already a little drunk, he looked at Chu Jiangmian, who was slowly drinking the wine in the glass cup without hesitation, and sat cross-legged under the flower tree in white. The peaches are young and beautiful, as if they are dyed with beauty.
"I don't like to owe favors. There is no such wine in the world! It's hard to buy a hundred gold coins... After drinking this jar, if there is something, I can say it. I must do my best!"
Looking at Xiao Li's firm expression, Chu Jiangmian smiled and shook his head gently. His face was a little drunk, and he felt a little lonely.
"You must think that I have something to ask for with such unreasonable enthusiasm, right? Actually... it's not! I just think that people with strong momentum should be qualified to drink this kind of wine. That's all. Isn't it?"
Xiao Li widened his eyes and looked at Chu Jiangmian again seriously. He was sure that he had never encountered such a person before. When he put down the wine cup, he suddenly heard the roar of tigers in the mountains and forests, and all beasts fled. He felt a move in his heart and stood up.
"The young master is a noble person, so he naturally doesn't take ordinary things seriously. What's more, the poor family in the city are so poor that he can't repay you... The young master, borrow the sword of the servant and wait for a while, and I'll go."
After saying that, he did not wait for the other party's answer. As he turned around, he walked quickly. The man with the knife a few steps away hesitated for a moment. The knife on his waist had been pulled out by the young man chopping the wood. When the light flashed, the figure was already dozens of feet away.
Chu Jiangmian reached out to stop the guard who wanted to chase. Although he didn't know what the decisive young man wanted to do, he had no intention of being malice. Then he stood up, walked a few steps to the edge of the rock, leaned down and looked down. The situation on the other side of the forest was clear at a glance.
It was too boring to stay in Luocheng. He had long wanted to come and appreciate the scenery in Zhongyue Mountain. Since the Zhou royal family would organize a large-scale hunting event soon, he was happy to come to the mountain in advance. This was also his only request for his visiting brother Ji Mo. The other party agreed very happily and suggested that he live in the old palace in the Peach Blossom Valley. So they have been living here for the past few days. They have been traveling around the mountains and rivers and have a lot of fun.
The guard who followed him closely was a little surprised. During the meeting just now, he was already shocked to realize that the young man was very capable. For the sake of the little prince's safety, he had to increase his vigilance. The coachman Lao Ji obviously didn't care and slept soundly in the pavilion on the side. The guard leaned his head and looked at it again, and finally couldn't help asking curiously.
"Little Prince, what are he going there with a knife?"
Chu Jiangmian's smile remained unabated. The wind in the mountains was a little strong. He tied his cloak tightly and said casually.
"This young man is honest and wants to repay after drinking a few glasses of wine, right? Guess what he will hunt and kill? Rabbits, elks, lone wolf... or even bigger surprises? Haha!"
The coachman Lao Ji turned over and seemed to mutter something. But they didn't hear it clearly. When the guard named Zheng Qi was about to ask something, he suddenly saw a look of surprise flashing across Chu Jiangmian's face. Then when he looked at him again, he couldn't help but stop the sound and became quiet around him.
They saw the boy with a knife walking straight through the long grass, and ignored the various birds and beasts that were rushing past. The wind and dust and grass clippings flew, and the wind blew. Amid the heart-shaking roar, a colorful tiger suddenly jumped out of the bushes.
This was a shocking moment. A tiger like a calf, not to mention a young man who was underage, even an ordinary martial arts master, in this case, he would probably have to hide and escape quickly.
"Little Prince! This boy is in danger. Should I go over and help?"
The guards beside him were shocked and quickly reminded Chu Jiangmian. Although the boy had no deep relationship with them, since he had just drunk the little prince's wine, he had a little connection. What would happen later and would make the little prince sad, that would be bad.
"Don't worry, just wait and see before you talk!"
Chu Jiangmian still looked calm and composed. He reached out to stop the eager guard from trying to save people, and signaled to Jing Jing. See how the boy acted.
The incident actually happened in an instant. When the tiger showed its might, it would definitely choose objects to eat it! I found that someone was close to me to block the way. The tiger shook the mountains and forests with a "whistle" sound, opened its bloody mouth, and jumped several feet and rushed over.
