Qingshan went back with a smile on his face.
Chu Xiwang looked him up and down, waiting for him to speak.
"I gave the medicine to Miss Xie. She was very happy and thanked the master for thinking so carefully. She came here over mountains and hills and did not bring any medicine."
Chu Xiwang's brows relaxed slightly.
"She even invited me to dinner, but I refused because I thought of my master's rules. So she brought back a gift for my master."
Chu Xiwang finally asked: "What gift?"
Qingshan put two bottles of wine on the table.
"Ms. Xie said she liked both bottles of wine."
"The glass bottle is called Qinghua Fen, and the porcelain bottle is called Qingyun Lang, which means that the good wind (Fen) will help me soar to the sky."
"She said: Let me go back and let Brother Chu taste it. If he likes it, I will make more later."
Qingshan imitated Xie Yanyan's words, speaking every word in full, fearing that he would miss a single word.
Qinghua Fen, Qingyunlang.
What a beautiful name!
He opened the Qinghua Fen tea first, and the room was filled with mellow fragrance. Chu Xiwang took a sip of it, treating it as a treasure.
He poured a small cup for Qingshan as well: "Try it."
"Master, your subordinate..."
"Try it! I'm afraid that no one else can make such good wine except her."
Qingshan took a sip and his mouth was filled with fragrance. The taste was indescribable. The only thing he could think of was: What the hell was that that I drank before!
"Master, this wine is the first time in my life that I have tasted such good wine. It is so mellow and strong!"
"Um."
"I have never seen such fine glass and such exquisite porcelain."
"Um."
"The name of the wine is even better. I have never heard of it outside. Miss Xie is really good at naming. It sounds so nice."
Qingshan praised him heartily. Chu Xiwang raised his eyelids to look at him, and Qingshan shut up.
Chu Xiwang looked at the two bottles of wine over and over again, and all his depression suddenly dissipated.
He and Yuan Zhen of Zhenshen Pagoda Temple are close friends. Yuan Zhen can see through the secrets of heaven. He said that she is the variable of the world, and he believes it!
She had great wisdom, but did not want to show it to the world, so he kept it a secret, guarding this light, not letting anyone know, and not letting anyone disturb her.

After dinner, Yu Shanhe said, "You will set out tomorrow morning. I will escort you out of the city with some officials."
Xie Yanyan's eyebrows were indifferent, she was too lazy to worry.
Zhou Shaoyu said happily: "Okay."
"Go through the Hanguan Pass?"
"Go through the Hanguan Pass."
After the guests and hosts left, Zhou Shaoyu said to Xie Yanyan, "Just take a rest and don't worry about anything else. You'll be busy again tomorrow, so go to bed early."
Seeing Xie Yanyan enter the guest room, Zhou Shaoyu made a gesture to Zhou Jin, and Zhou Jin went to take a walk. Zhou Shaoyu called Xie Anfeng and Xu Wenrong to his room.
"Master Xu, General Xie, I received information today that the Northern Palace's mercenaries will intercept us on the road tomorrow."
"Why? Whose way are we standing in?"
Both were surprised and angry.
"The person who placed the order is Caiyu, Xie Xiangxiang's maid. It is not clear whether it was Xie Xiangxiang's idea, Fu Rui's, or someone else's."
After Zhou Shaoyu finished speaking, veins on Xie Anfeng's hands popped out.
"I don't know if the target is me or Miss Xie, so tomorrow General Xie and I will escort them out of the city via Yushan River and head towards Hanguan Pass to lure out the mercenaries. Master Xu, you take Miss Xie with you and go through Yaoguan Pass."
Xu Wenrong had been to Chang'an, passed through Hanguan and Yaoguan.
The next morning, Xie Anfeng said to Xie Yanyan, "I am with Prince Zhou and Lord Yu to do some things. It is not convenient for you to follow us. Let Wenrong take you away first. We will catch up with you later."
Xie Yanyan looked at him calmly and said, "Do you have something to do, or are you hiding something from me?"
"What can I hide from you, kid? It's not appropriate for you and Wenrong to follow the border affairs."
"Okay, my cousin and I will go first. Since we are going our separate ways, I will give you a few treasures."
She went to her carriage and opened a long wooden box that was pressed under the cushions.
"Open it."
Xie Anfeng was carrying the long, flat wooden box, which was very heavy. He intuitively felt that it contained weapons.
Xu Wenrong and he took down the long wooden box and opened it. There were three weapons inside.
Two Tang swords and one Mo sword.
The Mo Dao can be said to be specifically designed to deal with cavalry, especially the fierce Hu soldiers.
Xie Anfeng was wondering how Yan'er brought this weapon back.
If I remember correctly, his Tang sword was hidden in a secret compartment under the carriage.
"You choose."
Xie Yanyan's expression remained calm.
As soon as Zhou Shaoyu saw the weapons, he knew that Xie Yanyan had guessed the danger. This woman knew everything in her mind.
He likes all three weapons!
He grabbed the Mo Dao. The Mo Dao looked just right to him. It was a double-edged sword, more than ten feet long, shining with a cold and chilling light. Its lethality was definitely greater than the other two swords.
"What's its name?" He held the Mo Dao, which had some weight and was just right for use.
"Yu Mo Dao."
Zhou Shaoyu turned to look at her, his face warmer and brighter than the sun.
Yumo Sword, exclusive to him!
Xie Anfeng and Xu Wenrong looked at Xie Yanyan's indifferent expression and did not see anything unusual. They each took a Tang horizontal sword and were extremely happy.
"There's an open space in the back. Let's go there and try it out first to see if it's handy. Come and take a look?"
Xie Yanyan nodded cooperatively.
"Zhou Jin, drive Miss Xie's carriage over here."
Zhou Jin said "Okay" and asked Xie Yanyan to sit on it, while the others rode on horses.
Without eating breakfast, he started the trial in the open space between the woods behind the inn.
Zhou Shaoyu held the knife in his hand for a while, then led the horse over, rode it away, and waved the knife around a few times. Only then did he truly experience the power of the knife.
With a turn of the wrist, the cold light of the blade makes the enemy collapse mentally.
Xie Yanyan only felt that he was riding on a horse, with a strong posture, a knife in his backhand, murderous aura in the air, and the horse was galloping. He seemed to be stepping on rolling auspicious clouds, which was very exciting.
Zhou Jin was jealous and came over to say, "Miss Xie, can you give me one too?"
"What do you want?"
"It's all right. I'll take whatever you give me."
"No target? Then I won't give it to you."
"No, no, Miss Xie, I think I want a slightly shorter weapon." He is Zhou Shaoyu's bodyguard, and his path is different from Zhou Shaoyu's. He is not a general who goes into battle to kill the enemy. He is only responsible for protecting Zhou Shaoyu, and is more proficient in close combat and assassination.
Short ones? That's easy to say. There aren't many cold weapons in the 22nd century, so short weapons are the ones that are easy to carry and use.
"there is none left."
As soon as she said this, Zhou Jin suddenly wilted.
Zhou Jin borrowed Xu Wenrong's Tang sword: "Master Xu, can you lend it to me to play with for a while?"
Xu Wenrong shook his head: "I need to adapt as quickly as possible. If my sister and I encounter bandits on the road, I need weapons to be handy."
No one was willing to lend him the money, so Zhou Jin squatted on the ground and drew circles.
Xie Anfeng couldn't bear it, so he lent him his Tang sword: "Try it."
Zhou Jin was so happy that he grabbed the Tang sword and jumped on the horse. He ran and slashed in various postures on the horse. The dullness on Xie Yanyan's face disappeared a lot when he saw this.
A few people were happily touching their new weapons when suddenly the waiter came and called out, "Dear guests, Master Yu has arrived with many other masters."
