After two days of travel, the convoy finally saw the shadow of Xuanyu City at noon on the third day.

Captain Lin blocked the Yin Hall with his hand, looked towards a group of mountains in the distance, and then drove his horse to the side of the carriage.

"Grandpa, you can rush to Xuandu at night."

"Very good." The old man in the car replied.

When the teenagers heard that they were about to reach their destination, they also poked their heads out and looked around. But when they saw a vague shadow of the mountain, they all shrank back again.

The convoy is still far away from the city, and ordinary people naturally can't tell the difference.

But if you come here a few times, you can clearly tell the difference.

Among these continuous peaks, there is a peak, which is obviously much higher than the surrounding peaks. It's just that it's too far away, and I only feel that even if it's twice as high, it can't compare to Zhangfeng.

And under the giant peak, is Xuanyu City.

A young man at the leader of the convoy apparently also recognized the peak, shouted a few times at the convoy, signaling to speed up the pace.

This young man looks a lot older than Captain Lin, but judging by his clothes, he should also be a captain.

The convoy picked up its pace amid shouts and headed for the peaks.

……

Villages gradually appeared on both sides of the road, and the sky gradually darkened. In early spring, the sky is darker early, and the mountain shadows have completely blended into the night.

When the convoy completely entered the city, it was already the beginning of the war, but the night market in Xuandu was lively.

Xuanyu Courtyard is in the northernmost part of Xuanyu City, dozens of miles away from the city center.

There is an unwritten rule in the courtyard that new disciples must enter the courtyard before noon.

Therefore, almost all students from other counties will stay in the city for one night. The rules continued, and in the end, even the students of the Xuandu headquarters were the same.

The boys from the two counties were placed in inns in the city, along with students from other counties.

Qing'er and her grandfather were also arranged in the room of the old heavenly master as before, and Captain Lin led the soldiers to report to the military camp outside the city.

In Xuandu, except for the city defense army and some regular security establishments, other teams will not stay. First, it is not needed, and secondly, there are too many teams to accommodate it.

Outside the city was the garrison of the Xuanwu Army, and Captain Lin was heading there at this time.

After arranging the soldiers, Captain Lin changed into civilian clothes and walked out of the camp.

Normally, he should have stayed in the barracks, and he had other things to do tonight.

Captain Lin went straight into the city and came to the inn where the convoy lived.

Captain Lin came to Qing'er and her grandfather's room, and Qing'er was lying on the windowsill watching the excitement at this time.

Captain Lin entered the room and sat down beside Grandpa Qing'er on his own. After sitting down, Captain Lin said, "Grandpa, the students will be admitted to the hospital tomorrow, what are your plans?" ”

Although the people have been delivered, it is obviously a problem for this old and young to live in Xuandu.

Qing'er saw Captain Lin and shouted Brother, and continued to throw the wood into the hustle and bustle.

When the old man saw Captain Lin who had changed into his regular clothes, a trace of pity suddenly appeared in his eyes. Captain Lin under the armor was obviously a little thin.

"Don't worry, the old man will find a job as a medicine farmer, and it won't be a problem to live." The old man still had a kind face.

"But..."Captain Lin wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.

After all, Xuandu is much larger than Yubei County, and the ordinary expenses are much larger. Captain Lin still looked uneasy, and his face revealed uneasiness.

The old man looked at the other party, knowing Captain Lin's thoughts, and said, "You also heard the Heavenly Master say in person before, my medicinal technique is not comparable to ordinary people, don't you even believe the words of the Heavenly Master?" ”

Captain Lin stood up and said, "It's not that I can't trust Grandpa, it's just..."

Captain Lin wanted to say that he was old, but he held back his stomach, so he had to change his mouth to sigh.

Captain Lin had no better way at the moment, so he had to say goodbye to Grandpa, walked out of the inn, and walked towards a wine shop.

……

Captain Lin is not good at drinking, and he has not yet reached the point of borrowing alcohol to kill his sorrows. He came to the liquor store because of a man.

This wine shop is located in the center of Xuandu, and the Qinghe River is next to the wine shop. The Qing River is the longest river in Xuanyu City, and on both sides of the river are the most prosperous markets in the city.

This liquor store is called "Baiwei Building", which occupies a small area, but the location is excellent, with a total of two floors.

Although Baiwei House is called Baiwei, it only sells one type of liquor. Even so, there is still a steady stream of drinkers.

The price of wine in Baiweilou is expensive, and everyone in Xuandu knows it. Therefore, those who go in and out also have some identity.

The liquor store is not big, and bumps are inevitable. But these "status" people don't dare to be rough in the wine shop, and no matter how angry they are, they have to hold it outside and then spread it.

Legend has it that the owner of the restaurant is an adult, but no one knows how big it is. It is also rumored that the wine shop is the foothold of a certain immortal venerable of the Daomen in the mortal world.

There are many theories, but no one has ever seen the boss of this Baiwei Building.

……

Captain Lin went straight up to the second floor, as if he was very familiar with the road.

In the innermost window position on the second floor, a young man was drinking alone. Hearing movement at the staircase, he lowered his glass.

As soon as Captain Lin's body was half exposed, the man beckoned to him.

The man was in his early thirties and looked a little rich. Seeing Captain Lin go upstairs, he beckoned again and again.

After Captain Lin sat down, the man hurriedly poured him a glass of wine.

"Why did you come today?" The man asked, a smile on his face.

Captain Lin sat opposite the man, and if he looked closely, he could see that the man's demeanor was somewhat similar to that of Captain Lin. It's like a captain Lin who has been swollen in the face.

Captain Lin drank it all and said, "There's something wrong, it's delayed." ”

The man poured another cup and said, "How is my father?" ”

As soon as the man's words came out, Captain Lin's face was filled with some displeasure.

Captain Lin's eyes widened and he said; "If you want to know, why don't you go back and see for yourself?"

Although the voice was already very low, it still attracted strange eyes from the neighboring table.

……

"It's been three years! Have you ever wondered how these three winters and summers lived by your mother? Captain Lin glared at the other party.

The man looked around, saw that it had aroused everyone's disgust, and hurriedly said, "Don't talk about it!" Don't talk about it! ”

Captain Lin drank the wine in the cup again, and the man wanted to fill it, but Captain Lin covered the wine glass with his hand.

The man drank a few more glasses on his own, and then did not speak again.

The two stared out the window at the riverbank and fell silent.

And the eyes of the two are like mirror images.

This man, who is much fatter than Captain Lin, is named Lin Yi, and he is Captain Lin's eldest brother.

After Lin Yi came out of Tianze Courtyard, he returned to Lanzhou and found a job in Xuandu. Although the position is not high, it is comfortable.

Every time Captain Lin came to Xuandu, Ah Ge Lin Yi would invite him to drink Baiwei wine.

But occasionally it can be unpleasant, like this one.

……

……

The two went downstairs, Captain Lin asked Xiao Er for a pot of wine to take away, and Lin Yi silently paid for the wine.

The two were walking next to Qinghe, Lin Yi rubbed his hands and said, "Are you going to go back to the camp to drink alone?" ”

After a while, Captain Lin answered: "Bring it to one person to taste." ”

Captain Lin's tone was flat and did not carry any emotion.

At this time, Lin Yi stood up and said, "I'm your eldest brother after all, do I have to be like this?" ”

Captain Lin paused for a moment and did not turn his head.

After a moment of stalemate, Captain Lin spoke.

"Do me a favor!"

"What's the rush? I should do my best. Lin Yi heard that his younger brother had a request for him, so he followed and said.

Captain Lin told Lin Yi about Qing'er and his grandfather 1510.

……

"This wine was also given to the old man, right?" Lin Yi said after listening.

Captain Lin didn't speak, just nodded.

"The grandfather you recognize, I also recognize." Lin Yi patted the other party's shoulder and said.

After hearing this, Captain Lin arched his hand towards Lin Yi and said, "Then thank Brother first." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked straight in the direction of the inn.

Lin Yi was helpless, so he shook his head, turned around and walked towards the residence.

……

……

Captain Lin came to the inn, and Grandpa Qing'er was just about to blow out the candles and sleep.

Hearing the shouts of Captain Lin outside, he opened the door again.

"Grandpa, I just passed by the wine shop and got you some wine." Captain Lin said and put the wine jar on the table.

"The old man hasn't touched wine in years!" Grandpa Qing'er glanced at the wine jar and said with a smile.

"This wine is not comparable to those in the county." Captain Lin explained again and again. "Even the emperor came to this Xuandu, and he was referring to the people who wanted to drink this wine." After saying that, he added.

Captain Lin said a few more words, most of them praised how good the wine was, and asked Grandpa Qing'er to taste it, and left the inn after speaking.

Grandpa Qing'er sent Captain Lin away and came to the table.

With the dim light, Grandpa Qing'er saw the word "Baiwei" written on the altar, and the penmanship was vigorous and powerful.

And under the altar, there is a picture of exquisite painting.

The body of the altar is fired with celadon, although it is not a top-level craftsmanship, but it can also be seen that it is a kiln factory.

Clear-eyed people can distinguish good and bad at a glance, and this jar should be placed in Yubei County, as if it is a collection.

Grandpa Qing'er looked at it again and again, lifted the altar stopper, and a fragrance wafted out of the altar.

Then he fanned it with his hand and sniffed it with his eyes closed.

After a long time, Grandpa Qing'er slowly opened his eyes, as if the wine had not been drunk yet, and he was already drunk for three points.

Grandpa Qing'er put the wine jar again and said to the jar: "It's been a long time!" ”

……

……

……

Captain Lin returned to the barracks, but he couldn't sleep for a while.

It's not that I'm not used to sleeping in the tent, but that I have something in my heart at this time.

First of all, the matter of the eldest brother Lin Yi, the eldest brother still doesn't want to go home to see. And before leaving, my mother repeatedly told me to persuade my eldest brother. But tonight, it still looks hopeless.

The second is the matter of Grandpa Qing'er, if he can't settle them well, how can he rest assured. Although the eldest brother agreed to help, the matter was inconclusive after all.

And the last one is something he has been thinking about along the way.

Starting from Changling County, Captain Lin thought all the way. Ever since his last encounter, he had not been able to emerge from the shadow of the demons.

The demon who was more than ten feet tall would appear in his dreams from time to time. With its blood-smelling fist, it swung at him. But he was like he was bound, unable to move, unable to dodge.

Captain Lin lay on the bed and tossed and turned, unable to find himself.

The sword hanging in the doorway was blown by the wind and shook slightly.

Captain Lin looked at the sword and stood up resolutely.

Captain Lin found a pen and paper, and by the faint light, he began to write hard.

He didn't know if his choice was right, but it was hard to do both.

Choosing a choice means losing, and if you have mustered up the courage to make a choice, it is better to do it without hesitation!

Captain Lin stuffed the letter into the envelope and wrote on the envelope, "Father opened it personally."

After doing this, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Captain Lin felt a lot better, he looked at the sword at the door again, and then walked over.

He pulled his sword out of its scabbard and danced outside the tent. The body of the sword reflected the moonlight, and the sword light hit the camp tent one after another.
