Chapter 655

At night.

There was a cold wind blowing in the streets. Compared with the noise in the capital during the day, the capital at night seemed very cold. As the Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer, people begin to buy new year goods to prepare for the new year.

Now it is midnight, and most people have gone to sleep, except that the light is still on in the tavern at the end of the street.

In the tavern, the shopkeeper is calculating accounts next to the counter. A little girl with a sheep's horn braid carefully carries a tray with several wine pots full of wine on the tray.

When cooking wine is distilled, because the first pot of wine contains impurities, the merchants who make cooking wine will discard this pot. The second pot after that, because the first pot of wine head has taken away many impurities, it often tastes mellow and strong. Here is Erguotou, which is rich in the capital.

In the tavern, several mysterious people in black are sitting at the table, with a large bowl of dumplings in front of each of them.

After taking the wine pot in the little girl's hand, several people didn't take the wine cup, ate a dumpling and drank a mouthful of wine at the mouth of the wine pot. Erguotou is a well deserved liquor. After several big men drank it, they immediately felt that after the wine entered their throat, it was like a fire line, and their whole body warmed up from the throat to the lower abdomen.

"Good wine."

A bearded man put the wine pot heavily on the table and shouted to the shopkeeper. The voice was as loud as a bell, which startled the little girl who was cleaning the table.

Praised by the guests, the innkeeper seemed to be very useful. He laughed and asked, "my guest, must be a foreigner“

The man looked at the shopkeeper curiously and asked, "yes, but how do you know?"

"This wine is called Erguotou. It has a history of hundreds of years in the capital. Even a three-year-old child can't know the reputation of this wine."

As the shopkeeper spoke, his face was quite proud. It seemed that Erguotou was a big treasure to him.

"That makes sense“

The big man gave the shopkeeper a thumbs up, laughed and said, "yes, it's good wine. It can afford this reputation“

With that, the man picked up the wine pot again and took another sip.

"Lao long, speak less“

A scholar sitting aside looked a little unhappy and gave a soft drink to the big man. The big man seemed very afraid of the scholar. After hearing the scholar's words, he stopped talking and just bent his head to drink and eat dumplings.

The innkeeper was not very interested in the matter of several people. He looked out of the window. The street was dark and deserted. Although the new year was approaching, there was no moon or star in the sky. The street was covered with a thick layer of snow. Although the innkeeper's home was not too far from here, he would take the little girl home later 。

The shopkeeper thought about it, took out a thick coat and handed it to the little girl who had cleared the table and was sitting next to the counter playing with abacus beads.

In such a short blink of an eye, when the shopkeeper looked up again, he found that the men who were still drinking had finished.

"Shopkeeper, this wine is good. Come back another day“

The bearded man said loudly to the shopkeeper just now. He never knew where to take out a black cloak and cover the whole person. Something flew out from under the cloak and flew in the direction of the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper quickly reached out and caught it.

He fixed his eyes on a ingot of gold. Looking up again, several people who were still standing in the store had disappeared.

"You are worthy of being an immortal master. Such means can really be called immortal creation“

The shopkeeper sighed and buckled the lampshade on the oil lamp on one side. The tavern was dark for a while.

"Xiaoya, let's go."

The shopkeeper shouted to the little girl and walked towards the backyard with an oil lamp.

In the high altitude of the capital, compared with the ground, the wind here is stronger. Where the sharp wind blows, several people in black are floating here.

"Is that our destination ahead?"

One of the men in black asked. The place they looked at was the prison in Beijing.

The man who had just spoken hesitated, turned to look at the man standing in front of the crowd, and asked again, "close the book, are you sure we can succeed this time?"

"I don't know."

The first man shook his head gently and said, "but we didn't succeed twenty years ago. This time I'll try my best to finish it. Our leader is being locked in a prison. As long as we save him, our probability of success will increase a lot."

"Really?"

Someone said suspiciously. Compared with Guan Shu's firm tone, he was a little less confident. Twenty years ago, ghost Xiu invaded Da Wei and tried to seize power to strengthen his strength. Because of this, almost all the experts of Da Wei were mobilized, and ghost Xiu was greatly weakened.

Twenty years later, during the period when the old and new imperial powers changed in the great Wei Dynasty, ghost Xiu made a comeback again.

"Lao Guan, why are you talking so much? Since we're here, we'll follow you. Now the prison is right in front of us, can't you say it!"

Just now in the tavern, a big man praising Erguotou spoke, and his voice was still loud.

"Lao long, after so many years, you are still impatient."

Guan Shu reluctantly glanced at the big man and said to the people in a calm but very firm tone: "do it."

The sound was not loud, but it was very clear to everyone's ears.

For a moment, black air lingered on dozens of people and flew towards the prison in the capital.

The human body was like the door of hell open, and countless miserable evil spirits flew out of it, sending out sharp and piercing wails, which rang through the whole capital.

The boundless ghost spirit spread and merged with the dark night. It seemed to swear who was the real overlord of the night.

For a moment, countless people in the capital felt the cold ghost spirit and were awakened from their sleep.

Above the prison, there are many soldiers guarding day and night. At this time, they have been haunted by evil spirits summoned by ghost repair. Although these people have excellent weapons in their hands, they are helpless in the face of evil spirits.

A soldier, holding a long sword, stabbed the disgusting head of the evil ghost, but went straight through the evil ghost. The evil ghost screamed, opened his big mouth full of sharp fangs and bit the soldier's neck.
