Braving the wind and snow, the young man took Li Xiuyuan and Xiao Hei to visit the market in the imperial city and bought several sets of clothes and shoes for the two of them.

When Xiao Hei put on new clothes, the first thing he did was to hold the boy's hand and say, "I'll let my brother brew some wine for you some other time. My brother makes the best wine."

The young man couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that the two people in front of him had just changed their clothes and their temperament had changed instantly.

After walking around in a circle, he hurried back to the mansion and decided to have a good chat with the two brothers.

Li Xiuyuan was thinking about making money. After learning that the young man's name was Zhang Liang and that his father had died young, he didn't say much else.

Perhaps in his opinion, he and Li Xiuyuan are not close friends yet.

Li Xiuyuan didn't care, he just said that his two brothers met bandits on the road and had neither identity nor money, but he could open a wine shop.

Zhang Liang frowned when he heard this, looked at Li Xiuyuan and said, "Food was tight in the dynasty, and most of the wine shops were government-owned."

Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and asked: "What kind of food does the palace use to brew it?"

Zhang Liang replied: "Most of them are corn, but some people use sorghum."

Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly and said: "Then let's use black beans. Black beans are a miscellaneous grain. As long as you can do this, I guarantee that the business will be worry-free."

Zhang Liang thought for a while and said: "We can brew the wine while handing it over to others to sell, and we can go through the formalities and brew it at the same time."

Li Xiuyuan nodded and responded: "You have to troubleshoot us two brothers, otherwise it will be inconvenient to go out."

When Zhang Liang heard this, he pointed at Xiao Hei and asked, "What's your brother's name?"

Xiao Hei laughed when he heard this, squinted his eyes and said, "My name is Xiao Hei."

Li Xiuyuan then remembered that he had been calling him Xiaohei for so many years and had never thought of giving him a foreign name.

He shook his head and said with a smile: "Let's call him Li Xiaohei."

After discussing these things, it was time to find a shop that could serve as a wine shop.

Zhang Liang thought for a while and said: "There is a ready-made shop, but it is a little far away from the market. If you open it somewhere, it may not be easy to do business."

Li Xiuyuan smiled. Since there were restrictions, it was better to stay away from the market.

Seeing the two chatting animatedly, Xiao Hei yawned and said he wanted to go back to the house to sleep, and then slipped out of the living room.

Li Xiuyuan made a pot of tea, the two drank two cups, and carefully calculated the materials that needed to be purchased.

Finally, I decided to check out the vacant shop first and then decide whether to brew wine there. After all, moving it would be a hassle.

So the two of them did not hitch the carriage, but stepped out of the door through the thick snow.

When Li Xiuyuan entered the small courtyard behind the shop, he even had the illusion that it was like the first time he entered the backyard of the wine shop in Ding'an City.

Although the shop in front is not big, the yard in the back is not small. It will be enough for Xiao Hei to practice swordsmanship, write, and make wine by himself.

Not to mention that the backyard is fully equipped except for two stoves and two large pots, and these are small things.

"This place is nice. Let's stay here. I'll move here with Xiao Hei and start brewing some wine. You can try it out."

Li Xiuyuan clapped his hands, thinking that no matter what, he had to settle the lives of the two of them first, and he couldn't rely on Zhang Liang all the time.

Zhang Liang laughed and said, "Brother, while you're making wine, I'll have someone come over and clean up a bit. When you're bored, I'll come over and stay for a few days."

The two of them closed the door and walked towards the market to see the prices of purchasing materials.

It wasn't until Zhang Liang ordered everything Li Xiuyuan needed and the two of them were strolling along the street that Li Xiuyuan sighed.

Looking at Zhang Liang, he said: "I can do a manual job like brewing alone. At most, you can hire a few guys to help you temporarily, and you can pay them on a daily basis."

"As for your future with my brother... I suggest you find a husband, study for a few years without any worries, and don't listen to what's going on outside the window..."

Xiao Hei was still a crow when he was in the Five Domains, and Li Xiuyuan had no time to care about him. In addition, due to the war in Southern Xinjiang, he was flying all over the sky with Watson and others.

Where can I find time to study?

Now that he has finally come to a new world and regained his human form, the first thing Li Xiuyuan did was to find him a husband. The book and the writing were also indispensable.

When Zhang Liang heard this, he was a little surprised: "You can't teach him, can't you teach me?"

"cannot."

Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly and said: "I want to make wine and study. When I have nothing to do, I have to walk thousands of miles. I can't teach you two."

In his opinion, only by finding an academy can Xiao Hei get more good influence.

Zhang Liang did not expect that Li Xiuyuan actually mentioned the matter of studying to him, and immediately replied: "We will discuss this matter in detail when we return home."

While he was talking, a shrill arrow suddenly sounded in the wind and snow, coming from the other side of the long street like lightning through the sky!

Zhang Liang's eyes tightened and he grabbed Li Xiuyuan who was about to reach out to stop the iron arrow in front of him.

"Don't move, it has nothing to do with you."

Afraid that Li Xiuyuan would cause trouble, Zhang Liang grabbed Li Xiuyuan and sighed in his ear: "This is the Forbidden Army arresting assassins."

Before he finished speaking, a gray shadow swept forward from in front of the two of them.

Swish, swish, three arrows.

Then three more iron arrows flew in front of the two of them, flying towards the body of the man in gray in the snow. The iron arrows were too fast, and the man in gray had to stop.

With his hand, he knocked down three life-threatening iron arrows one by one.

Li Xiuyuan sighed, thinking that this place was also a bloody jungle.

Zhang Liang, on the other hand, turned a blind eye, as if he had seen many assassinations and assassinations in the imperial city, as well as the imperial army chasing these assassins in the streets who never stopped killing them.

From the day he left his hometown and came to Houcheng, he had become accustomed to the ruthlessness of these dead soldiers. They were not afraid of life and death, and were always moving forward like a moth to the flame.

The man in gray clothes in the snow was not afraid of death at all. As he turned around, he slashed out the long knife in his hand continuously, flying two feet behind him and knocking the iron arrows to the ground.

At the most dangerous moment, he knocked away the iron arrow that was aimed at his throat. This single action slowed down his pace.

The imperial guards who were chasing after him fired arrows just to make him stop.

At this moment, several sword shadows shot through the air and pierced the man in gray in the snow.

The man in gray swung his sword and slashed out several rays of light, blocking the sword energy that came through the air. A pair of eyes under the black cloth covering his face stared at the visitor coldly.

From the moment the arrow arrives, to the man in gray stopping and waving his hand to break the arrow, to the moment the swords and swords clash in the wind and snow, every step is extremely dangerous.

As long as one of the men in gray doesn't handle it properly, they will die on the spot with blood splattered on them.

In Zhang Liang's eyes, it was terrifying and thrilling, but Li Xiuyuan was watching with cold eyes. This was not his world and he could not take action.

There was a voice in the divine sea that kept reminding him that he and Xiao Hei were just passers-by.

Since you are a passerby, you cannot change the course of this world.

Therefore, what looked like a long and dangerous process in Zhang Liang's eyes was just a moment in Li Xiuyuan's eyes.

Whoosh whoosh! Three more iron arrows were shot from the wind and snow, and with the sound of three arrows, the imperial army in the wind and snow had already chased behind the gray-body man.

In Zhang Liang's view, no matter how capable the man in black was in protecting himself, he would either be shot into a hedgehog by these iron arrows, or be beheaded by the Forbidden Army's sword.

Just when the iron arrow was about to hit the chest of the man in gray, a blade of light instantly shone in Zhang Yan's eyes.

I saw the man in gray who had stopped waving his hand and slashing out a sword like snow. Three "dang-dang" sounds were heard, and three iron arrows fell into the snow in front of him.

A pair of thin boot soles stepped on the snow and remained motionless like roots.

The hand holding the long knife tightly did not tremble at all, and was as steady as steel.

But this is just the beginning!

Before the onrushing Imperial Army could take action, the whizzing arrows sounded again in the wind and snow, and more than a dozen iron arrows pierced through the wind and snow at high speed, flying toward the man in gray like lightning.

The Forbidden Army was ordered to pursue them, so how could they talk about fighting alone? All they wanted was a result.

Dozens of crossbow arrows shot out like lightning. No matter how powerful the man in gray was with his sword, he might not be able to completely stop the life-threatening arrows flying in the wind here.

Zhang Liang clenched his fist tightly, wishing he could fly forward and knock these forbidden soldiers to the ground.

Li Xiuyuan sighed, grabbed him tightly with one hand, shook his head, and signaled him not to be impulsive.

The man in gray had his pupils narrowed, trying to catch every iron arrow shot at him, moving left and right and slashing out with his knife, paying no attention to the iron arrows shot into the wind and snow.

Instead, he chopped off the iron arrow flying towards his chest into the wind and snow. When Zhang Liang saw that he was a little worse, he screamed in surprise.

"I don't know whether to live or die!" a leader of the Forbidden Army shouted sternly.

Following this order, a dozen forbidden soldiers holding bows and arrows rushed out of the wind and snow, and more than a dozen silent forbidden soldiers holding long swords stepped towards the man in gray step by step.

Amidst the whirring sound, the leader of the Forbidden Army rushed forward just as the man in gray knocked down the last arrow in front of him.

When he was still five feet away from the man in gray, he roared, jumped up with swords in both hands, and struck down on the man in gray with an unstoppable force.

The man in gray also felt the danger of this sword. He was seen exerting force with both hands, and the long blade in his hand was like a dragon, slashing towards the forbidden army general in mid-air!

Dang Dang Dang!

When the sword was raised, there was a turbulent situation. He probably knew that if he didn't fight hard today, he might not be able to leave the imperial city.

Because, the call of the Forbidden Army sounded again in the distance.

Just when Zhang Liang was about to scream, the two men's swords were already slashing together in the lightning flash!

The long sword in the hand of the man in gray was deeply inserted into the abdomen of the Forbidden Army general, and the long sword in the hand of the Forbidden Army general had passed through the chest of the man in gray.
