Chapter 5 Snow Shadow

Lin Beiwen, Wu Tianxiao and Huang Shen were at the Two Gorges Pass, and Li Che was in the Red Forest City. At this time, it was the two maids of Tang Yuansong, Tang Qingyun and Xiao Yu who greeted Li Linxiang and others at the gate of the general's mansion.

Li Linxiang's mother is Tang Qingyun's aunt. Although they don't have much contact, they have a good relationship.

After saying hello to Tang Yuansong, Li Linxiang walked with Tang Qingyun and chatted.

While chatting, they walked in. After a while, the group came to the main hall of the banquet in the general's mansion.

Li Linxiang, Zhang Zhaozhong, Shen Li and Xiao Yu, Tang Yuansong, Tang Qingyun, Zhu Xin and Lian Xiaonuo walked into the main hall, while Li Linxiang's attendants were taken to be entertained by Xiao Yu's two guests.

Xiao Yu does not have high requirements for food. However, due to Lian Xiaonuo's excellent craftsmanship, since Lian Xiaonuo began to take care of his three meals a day, he has never broken the food.

This time, Xiao Yu's wine and dishes for Li Linxiang, Zhang Zhaozhong and Shen Li were still prepared by Lian Xiaonuo.

Lian Xiaonuo's craftsmanship is indeed excellent. Even Li Linxiang, who is used to eating dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder, is full of praise for Lian Xiaonuo's cooking.

"General, good luck!"

Li Linxiang smiled at Xiao Yu, took a pearl flower from her head and handed it to Lian Xiaonuo.

"Here you are!"

Even Xiaonuo knew that she could not refuse what Li Linxiang gave. She wanted to take the pearl flower, but she was worried that Xiao Yu would blame her, so she cast an inquiring look at Xiao Yu.

Seeing Xiao Yu nodding to herself, Lian Xiaonuo took the bead flowers handed over by Li Linxiang and bowed down to Li Linxiang.

"Xiao Nuo has a mouth disease and can't say thank you. Please don't be surprised!"

"Moral disease?"

Li Linxiang turned around and looked at Lian Xiaonuo again. He turned to Tang Qingyun and asked, "Cousin, do you have a way to cure her mouth disease?"

"She has been suffering from oral disease for so long that Qingyun and the elders can't help her relieve her oral disease. I heard that Yin Yun, a senior doctor in Mingdu, is a good doctor. He may have a way for her to speak again.

Li Linxiang nodded and looked at Xiao Yu and whispered, "After Yunshan County is completely calmed down, my father will definitely call the general back to accept the reward. At that time, the little sister can ask Elder Yin Yun to help Miss Xiaonuo take a look at her mouth disease."

"Xiao Yudai Xiao Nuo thanked the princess first!"

"The general is polite again!"

After chatting for a while, when all six people put down their chopsticks, Li Linxiang suddenly asked Xiao Yu's sweetheart in front of Yuxiu Palace.

"The general can definitely be regarded as a success now. Why didn't he bring his best man to his side?"

"She has been dead for more than a year!"

"Died?"

Xiao Yu nodded gently, suppressed the gloom in her heart, and changed the topic and smiled at Li Linxiang, "The princess didn't rest after a long journey to Guanjia Town. She must be tired now. Xiao will let them take you to rest now!"

Maybe he was really tired, or maybe he couldn't find a new topic. After Xiao Yu finished speaking, Li Linxiang just nodded gently.

At three o'clock, Xiao Yu came to Shen Li's resting place alone.

As soon as he opened the door, Xiao Yu saw Shen Li sitting at the table smiling at him.

"Brother Shen knows that Xiao is coming?"

"Brother Xiao didn't let Shen Moubai wait!"

Xiao Yu was slightly stunned, smiled and waved her hand to close the door.

When Xiao Yu walked to the table, two small wine jars had appeared in his hand.

Before Xiao Yu could hand over the wine jar, Shen Li stretched out his hand and got one of the wine jars in his hand.

Shen Li pulled out the stopper of the wine jar, held up the wine jar and made a toast to Xiao Yu. He put the wine jar to his mouth and took a big sip.

"Wine is good wine, but it's too little."

"Good wine is not so well brewed, so the quantity is naturally small. After drinking this seven-spice wine, let's drink another kind of ghost upper body.

"Ghost? What kind of wine has such a strange name?

"If you taste it in person for a while, you will know why that kind of wine is called ghostly."

There was no side dish to go with the wine. The two held up the wine jar and drank while chatting.

In the past six months, Xiao Yu has focused most of her attention on Yunshan County, and rarely deliberately inquired about what happened in the world.

At this time, through Shen Li's words, Xiao Yu has a clear understanding of some major events that have happened in the past six months.

As far as the general trend of the world is concerned, the King of Ming and King Li seem to intend to destroy King Shang first, and then fight high and down. In the past half a year, there have been few wars between King Ming and King Li, but there has been no interruption between King Ming and King Shang, Li and King Shang.

When Xiao Yu and Changshan defeated most of Yunshan County for the king of the Ming Dynasty, He Tianhua, a great general of Li Wang, helped Li Wang Jiang Tianyun County.

After Mingdu has a martial arts hall that recruits the world's heroes and the Taixue Palace, which recruits the world's talents, in less than half a year, more than 10,000 strange people have defected to the King of Ming.

Seeing that King Ming gathered a large number of capable people in a short period of time in this way, King Shang also learned to establish a gathering hall to recruit talents from all over the world, but the arrogant Li Wang did not learn from King Ming to establish a special place to recruit capable people.

"Now General Yan and Bai Taixue must have a very high prestige in the famous capital!"

Shen Li nodded and smiled faintly and said, "Before the establishment of the Martial Arts Hall and Taixue Palace, the prestige of the senior brother far exceeded that of Bai Taixue; but now, the prestige of Bai Taixue has exceeded that of the senior brother. In the eyes of the vast majority of talented people with bad backgrounds, Bai Taixue is the benefactor who can make them show their ambitions.

"When Bai Taixue appeared in Mingdu that day, he was led by a spiritual ape and a colorful phoenix. If he hadn't made any fame, it would be a little abnormal."

"When he entered Mingdu that day, there was indeed a lot of noise."

Shen Li smiled faintly and suddenly turned the topic to Li Linxiang.

"The princess has a good impression on Brother Xiao. If Brother Xiao is also interested in the princess, he should take the initiative and don't miss this marriage."

"Does the princess have a good impression on Xiao?"

Seeing the surprise on Xiao Yu's face, Shen Li smiled faintly and said, "This is what my sister said to Shen. I don't think it's wrong. If Brother Xiao wants to get this marriage, he needs to make more military achievements and gather some forces to strive to be awarded the title of general by His Majesty as soon as possible.

Hearing this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but think of the two letters Li Linxiang had written to him.

In those two letters, Li Linxiang wrote a lot of encouragement.

"Is she really interested in me?"

Shen Li looked at Xiao Yu with memories on his face and drank the last few mouthfuls of wine in the wine jar.

"Brother Xiao, where is the ghost?"

After being awakened by Shen Li, Xiao Yu suppressed all kinds of strange feelings in her heart.

Xiao Yu couldn't let go of the dead Liu Hanyan, and he was not in the mood to think about love for the time being. Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to what Shen Li said.

"Everything is up to fate, and we'll talk about it later!"

With a faint smile on the corners of her mouth, Xiao Yu took out a wine jar smaller than the wine jar in her hand from the universe bag.

"Brother Shen, there is only such a small altar on this ghost's body. You have to taste it carefully!"

"Is that all?"

He looked at Xiao Yu with some surprise. Shen Li pulled out the plug and took a sip of the wine jar to his mouth.

With a mouthful of wine, Shen Li felt that his head was mixed and his body was sinking, and there was really a depressing feeling similar to the ghost's upper body.

Shen Li believed that Xiao Yu would not harm him, so he did not use Zhenyuan to dispel the depression on his body.

After about a cup of tea, the depression on Shen Li's body suddenly disappeared.

I don't know if it's an illusion. When the wine power of the ghost pressed the body dissipated, Shen Li had a sense of comfort in his heart that he did not feel before drinking the ghost pressed the body.

Seeing the relaxed expression on Shen Li's face, Xiao Yu asked with a smile, "How's it going?" It feels good to have a ghost!"

"It's not good. It's a trick! In addition to this kind of ghost pressure, is there any other special wine on Brother Xiao?

"When Xiao invited Brother Shen to drink the wine, he chose the best help on his body. Now it's not to mention the kind of wine that the ghost is pressed. It's seven-spice wine, and Xiao can't take out another jar."

"There are not many things that are cherished."

Xiao Yu nodded, drank the wine in the wine jar first, and then looked at Shen Li and asked, "Brother Shen came to Guanjia Town with the princess this time. Is there anything else?"

Shen Li is not a person who likes to walk around. If it hadn't been for something else, he wouldn't have left Mingdu.

"This time, I came to Guanjia Town with the princess. First, I want to have a drink with you, and second, I want you to help build a weapon."

"Build weapons?"

In Xiao Yu's surprised eyes, a long strip of gray ore appeared in Shen Li's hand.

Judging from the piercing chills emitted from the gray ore alone, it is very likely that this ore will be made into a magic soldier.

"It has been three and a half months since Shen got this cold iron, but he has never been able to find a craftsman who is willing to make it into a weapon."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu took the ore from Shen Li's hand and asked strangely, "Isn't there even a craftsman who can build a divine soldier in the famous capital?"

"There are as many as five blacksmiths in the famous capital who have the ability to refine magic soldiers, but these five people dare not help Shen make this cold iron into a long knife."

"Why is this?"

"They are worried that they will be retaliated by Shen if they have broken this cold iron."

Xiao Yu was slightly stunned and carefully sensed the nature of the ore on her hand.

There are roughly two ways to build a divine soldier. One is the melting method used by Xiao Yu to refine the red lotus sword, and the other is the tempering method.

The so-called tempering method is a forging technique that uses a hammer to slowly knock out the impurities in the minerals and slowly knocking the minerals into the shape of weapons.

The technique used by Xiao Yu to build a blood tiger bow is the tempering method.

To use the smelting method to refine the divine soldiers, you only need to ensure that the materials of the refining the divine soldiers will not conflict, while casting the divine soldiers by the refining method is a great test of the forging skills of the craftsman.

If a craftsman's forging skills are too poor, the craftsman is likely to destroy the mineral itself in the process of pounding the mineral.

Although Xiao Yu had created a thousand strong bows in a row with the hammering method, he was not sure to turn the cold iron in his hand into a magic soldier.
