As the best restaurant on Ximo Street, the five green wine flags on the eaves of Jinfu Tower are waving in the wind, claiming to allow guests to taste all the dishes in the Sixteen Prefectures of Fuli.

Although Li Buzhuo had already seen that the so-called cuisines in various states were just slightly modified to sell dog meat with the local cuisines in Youzhou, he could not withstand Yan Chixue's bold and arrogant saying "Don't save me money". He ordered a plate of roasted deer tails, a plate of cucumber, a plate of fennel beans, and then called a pot of boiled gold slurry mash, and then spent nine silver zhu, of which five silver zhu were spent on the wine.

Yan Chixue poured half a bowl of wine for Li Buzhuo, looked upstairs and smiled and was competing for beauty, and said, "It turns out that you often come here not because the wine and food are delicious, but because these women are beautiful."

After saying that, he was depressed by himself and gasped, saying, "Although the old Confucian ethics do not exist, men still look down on women from the bottom of their hearts. I was fortunate to be born in the Yan family. I don't have to flatter the drinkers all day like them. I have known this since I was a child. I have practiced martial arts and studied when others were having fun, but even if I squeezed into Yong'an County School, how many men in the village really convinced me?"

Li Buzhuo thought she was about to say, "I wish I could be born as a man." Yan Chixue said with a drunken look on her face: "But it's good to be a woman. If something happens, you guys will be with you. Thanks to you that night, but you hurt you."

Li Buzhuo took the bowl and sniffed the wine, thinking that the name of the golden sauce wine is nice, but it is not strong. He put down the bowl and said it was a minor injury.

Yan Chixue said, "I ran for a while that night and suddenly thought I was stupid. We were afraid that we could not beat her one. So we went back to the yard, but you disappeared. I panicked and turned back to find the night patrol soldiers. They delayed for a long time. Later, Sanjin asked me where you were, but I didn't dare to say it." She sighed, "I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, riding a horse, and shooting a wolf. Why do I really panic when I encounter something? Don't you pour wine?"

"That's it."

“Hurry up.”

Yan Chixue was more like drinking than drinking. She ran out of a pot of golden slurry and called out another pot. She looked like she was drunk when she drank the first bowl. After drinking three or five bowls, she still looked slightly drunk.

Li Buzhuo pressed down her wine bowl and asked, "What's wrong with me today?"

Yan Chixue wanted to grab the wine bowl, but she didn't twist Li Buzhuo. After trying hard, her face turned red and she stopped. She lowered her head and was silent for a while before muttering: "I thought about it for two days later. Maybe Zhang's mother wasn't lying to me. She even took out my father's letter paper, and her handwriting was not bad at all. At first, I thought it was Zhou Ba who asked Mr. Yubing to imitate him, but later I thought, Mr. Yubing and my grandfather have the deepest relationship. How could he harm me? Li Buzhuo, I'm really leaving."

Li Buzhuo paused his hands, then pinched a fennel bean and peeled it: "Don't think too much."

Yan Chixue forced a smile.

"I'm not thinking too much. Yesterday my father's souvenir arrived again, and he sent this hairpin." Yan Chixue stretched out her hand, spread her slender knuckles, and quietly laying a silver-die double-headed phoenix hairpin in her palm. She looked at her palm and said, "My mother's relics, if there were no major changes in the village, he wouldn't urge me to return to the village like this."

"How many days will you wait? Go back after the county exam. What important things can you do in Taiping? I'm so anxious to pass the county exam."

Yan Chixue took back her hairpin and shook her head and said, "If the leader of Taowu Fort could not tell the difference, the village would be destroyed more than ten years ago."

Tell her to stay? Li Buzhuo didn't know how to speak. He peeled seven or eight beans before he came back to his senses. He put them in a white dish and pushed them in front of Yan Chixue: "Think about it again when you wake up. It's a pity to leave at this time."

"Do you think I'm drunk?" Yan Chixue smiled bitterly, "I won't leave, of course I don't want to leave. Why did I study for more than ten years? I'm looking for a way out for Taowu Fort and Zhou Ba and his team of loud horses who don't come to the table? It's for me! But without Taowu Fort, there would be no me. There are any changes in the village. So what if I don't go back? Where can I go?"

“…”

"Don't put your face on your face, why are you more depressed than me?" Yan Chixue looked at Li Buzhuo with a dim look, and suddenly laughed: "It's okay for the village to be fine. I'll quickly return to Hedong County. Five days is enough to go back and forth, and I can still catch up with the county test."

"I really want to leave?"

"Well, I've packed my luggage a long time ago, just want to tell you."

"After finishing the work, hurry back to Yong'an County. Although Hedong also holds a county examination, it is too late to transcribe the academic record."

"Do you give it to me?"

"certainly."

"Thank you..."

"Why are you polite to me? You can ride a horse after drinking?"

"Everyone said I'm not drunk."

When he left the Jinfu Tower, Yan Chixue insisted on asking for it, but Li Buzhuo made the money for the wine on the grounds of giving away the wine.

…………

The maroon horse ran to the bottom of the city wall, and the girl wearing a red silk robe and a black scabbard sword suddenly grabbed the reins.

"Li Buzhuo! Come with me."

"Where do you go?" Li Buzhuo was stunned when he walked beside the horse.

"I said I'll just send me here." Yan Chixue lowered her head and bit her lip.

"What should I do if I don't catch up with the county test?" The red horse chewed, and Li Buzhuo straightened his mane and asked hesitantly.

"If you can't catch up, you won't take the exam, wait for another year." Yan Chixue glanced at him angrily.

"What a pity..."

"What a pity? You may not be able to pass the exam." Yan Chixue clenched her fists, hesitated for a moment, and took a deep breath, "Just stop taking the exam."

"Hmm?" Li Buzhuo thought he had heard it wrong.

"Don't take the county exam, go back to Taowu Fort with me and be my man! The old Yan family is well-known, and anyone who doesn't accept it within a radius of 100 miles will fall down. Why should you be cowardly from Fang Xing's group of people in the new lockdown city?"

As soon as Li Buzhuo raised his head, the girl on the horse's back spoke very heroic tone, but she clamped the reins very tightly and her knuckles turned white.

Li Buzhuo looked at her, something rushed to her throat but couldn't come out.

After a while, Yan Chixue smiled: "I'm teasing you, I'll tell you, you must win the top spot. The yard of Lixi Lane is also full of glory. In the future, I can rent it to someone else and I can hang a sign of Kuixingju. What about three gold coins per month? It's a good deal."

"Next! Let's go!"

Yan Chixue threw out the sword of shocking cicada.

When Li Buzhuo caught it, she shook the reins, and the red horse yelled and ran forward.

Li Buzhuo quickly raised his sword and greeted him.

"You don't want your sword!"

"I never use a sword!"

Yan Chixue didn't look back.

The sound of horse hooves quickly left. Li Buzhuo watched Yan Chixue's black hair tied into a neat ponytail rising and falling in the wind. His hands froze in the air for a long time before he put them down. The black hair wrapped around the hilt of the sword that was sheathed, and there was still the remaining warmth.

So light.

…………

"Sell? Are you willing to bear it?"

"I can't bear to leave."

"I can't bear to leave either."

…………

He rubbed his thumb over the sheath and found several marks. Li Buzhuo looked down and saw a copper sheath with a word "Yan" the size of a copper coin engraved on the copper sheath.

The red horse ran away from the city.

Yan Chixue looked back and saw that the city gate of Xinfeng Mansion was covered with cold bluestone light, with crowded people, all kinds of strange faces. The wind suddenly blew her eyes. She raised her wrist and wiped her red eyes, sniffed, turned her horse's head and left the city gate.

The cold wind came towards him, and the girl said in a low voice that she could only hear.
