C12 Buy Wine

Li Su keenly felt the changes in the village. When she first arrived, there were only about 10 people here. However, during the time she was eating, she saw another group of people enter the village.

There must have been some kind of emergency.

The only thing Li Su could think of was that Zhu Yiyan had come to find her, and that was one of her plans.

However, this information station was not only hidden, but also had a password for the entrance. Although she had left a mark along the way, she couldn't guarantee that Zhu Yiyan would be able to find it.

When Li Su was making dinner, she asked about the side dishes, "Why is the village so lively today? I just entered the village a while ago, and there's only about 10 people."

"Old mama, it's best if you don't ask so much. The more you know, the more danger you will be in. Do you still want this life of yours?" He then broke off the branch and stuffed it into the fire.

Li Su laughed awkwardly, "The food in the village is not enough for so many people."

"No matter, just do whatever you want."

Li Su had to follow the instructions and cook all the ingredients. She had never thought that one day she would be trembling with a spatula in her hand.

"Old mama, come down the mountain later and buy a few carts of wine."

Liesu wiped her hands on her apron. "What do you want?"

"Just follow me." The person who spoke was about to leave when he suddenly turned around and said, "Don't speak nonsense, just do what you need to do!"

"Understood, understood. Boss wants the wine. I'm only responsible for the wine." "I won't say a word."

The stronghold was bustling with noise and excitement. Something must have happened, but it should not have been what Li Su thought it would be. Otherwise, they would not have had the mood to drink wine.

Li Su questioned him a few times but always told her not to meddle in other people's business. Only she spoke without thinking, "There must be a big shot coming, right?"

The person following her down the mountain looked at Li Su, "Old mama …"

Before he could finish, Li Su immediately showed a look of understanding, "I know, but since I'm old, I have a lot to say. Just pretend I didn't say anything."

At this point, Li Su really did not bring up the matter anymore. Just as the three of them left the information station and was about to go down the mountain, they bumped into Zhu Yiyan's group who had come looking for them.

The clue that Li Su had left for Zhu Yiyan was only up to this point, without any further progress. He was currently worrying over nothing, yet he saw two muscular men and a peasant woman appearing suspicious.

The terrain outside of Bian Yang Pass was very complicated. Furthermore, bandits and bandits had gathered together here. Thus, the three of them were quite suspicious of the place as they strolled around during the evening.

Zhu Yiyan walked up and asked, "Where are you three going?"

One of the two men glanced at Zhu Yiyan, "Mind your own business."

"My married girl in the city is going to have a baby. I'll take my sons to visit."

Zhu Yiyan was still suspicious of the other party. Just as he was about to continue questioning him, Yan Zijun used his hand to stop him, "Don't wander around aimlessly. The bandits are rampant these days."

Li Su nodded, "We are just going to visit our daughter and then return."

Yan Zijun nodded thoughtfully, "Let's send you into the city."

Zhu Yiyan did not understand Yan Zijun's intentions. They had come all the way here to look for Li Su, why did they suddenly have to escort her into the city? Furthermore, their movements were suspicious.

However, it was likely that Yan Zijun was leaving with the status of a city lord to protect the safety of his citizens.

Now that he saw that the sky was darkening, he had no clue on how to find Li Su. He was not familiar with the terrain of the mountain, so it was not rational for him to stay any longer.

Along the way, Li Su could feel that the two underlings beside her were a little nervous, as if they were always ready to fight to the death.

However, when Yan Zijun saw the three of them to the city gates, he said, "There are many bandits outside the Bend Sun Pass. You must be careful in the future. If you have any inconvenience, the government can ask for help."

Li Su and the rest thanked him profusely. Only when Yan Zijun and the rest left did the two men heave a sigh of relief, "I thought we had lost our lives here."

"It's all thanks to the old wet nurse's alertness."

The corners of Li Su's mouth twitched, Zhu Yiyan was too weak, it was fortunate that the two of them grew up together and could not recognize her at all.

Fortunately, Yan Zijun was quick-witted and managed to get away with it.

The two men took Li Su to a liquor store and ordered five vats of Nu Er Hong.

The owner felt a bit awkward, "The day of reckoning hasn't arrived yet, so there's really no preparation!"

The moment the big man heard this, he immediately pulled up the shopkeeper's collar. "We normally do not take less care of your business. Are you telling me we don't have any stock?"

The innkeeper immediately clasped his hands together in a begging manner, "Only the new ones are not good to eat."

"I don't care. If you don't have any wine, you better think it through!"

The manager naturally knew what kind of ruthless character the other person was. He could only blame himself for getting lost in this mess and falling into a deep quagmire.

"How about this," the owner shrunk his neck, "I still have some good wine hidden in my wine cellar, so I'll get the shop assistant to move here from the suburbs of Yan, how about it?"

"If that's the case, then we shouldn't make things any more difficult for the owner. Since we've already used up all the ingredients, why don't you two help each other out, purchase some wine, and wait for an incense stick of time? If the owner still hasn't brought the wine, we can just smash him!"

The two men gathered together. They felt that Li Su's words were very polite, so they nodded their heads in agreement.

After the shopkeeper invited the three Spirit Demons away, he immediately got the shop assistant to prepare for closing time.

At the end of the day, he knew that he had caused trouble. If these bandits could not get what they wanted, they would definitely become angry out of shame and then do some terrible things. Thus, he wanted to take his family and hide for a while.

With his life tied to his belt, he should have long since washed his hands off this matter!

Before the store had even closed, another wave of people arrived. The store owner did not even lift his head to pack up his valuables, "It's close time, it's closed time."

"Close?" "Do you think you can sell the city as a thief just by saying it's closed?"

The storekeeper raised his head, and his legs gave out as he sat on the ground. After a long while, he regained his senses and knelt down while kowtowing, "City Lord, please spare me! City Lord, please spare me!"

"You said that?" Yan Zijun laughed coldly, "The Bian Yang Pass has been invaded by bandits. I didn't expect there to be spies of bandits in the city."

The storekeeper's forehead was already cracking, "I was also forced to do this, Mayor, please spare my life!"

"If I wanted to spare your life, it would be fine. But now, you have the chance to earn merits. Are you willing to grasp this opportunity?"

The shopkeeper swallowed his saliva. Right now, if he were to stick his head out and use his blade, he would have been able to use a single slash to shrink his neck. "I am willing to listen to the Mayor's orders!"
