After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive

After the shadow guard left, not long after, Censor Song rushed into the yard.

He walked and talked:

"Liqing, did you succeed in brewing the wine? I can smell the aroma of wine!"

Before Li Qingqing could answer, Censor Song, with his sharp eyes, noticed a strange device on the stove.

A round wooden barrel is placed between two large iron pots. Isn't the wine flowing out of the bamboo tube above the barrel?

"I didn't expect you to be so talented. You actually managed to brew some wine!"

Censor Song's gray beard trembled. He pushed Li Qingqing and urged her anxiously, "Hurry, let me have a taste!"

Li Qingqing just found it funny.

She took a small cup, filled it halfway with wine from the bamboo tube, and handed it to Censor Song.

"Old man, how about you try this wine?"

Xie Xuan'an glanced at the half-empty glass of wine, then looked at the empty glass in his hand, and silently put the glass on the table.

However, Censor Song did not notice that there was an extra person named Xie Xuan'an in the room.

He was attracted by the aroma of wine, and at this moment all he could see was the wine that Li Qingqing handed over to him.

He eagerly rolled up his sleeves, took the wine glass, and put the wine to his nose to smell it.

Such a rich aroma of wine! Such a familiar taste!

He narrowed his eyes slightly and drank it all in one gulp impatiently.

As soon as the wine entered his mouth, Song Yushi's face immediately revealed a surprised yet complicated expression. He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:

"Rich and sweet, with a lingering aftertaste! I finally got to taste this kind of wine again!"

Li Qingqing: ???

"again"?

This is impossible! Doesn't Dayuan Kingdom only have fermented wine?

Besides, the water source she is using now is space spring water!

This is unique in the world.

Li Qingqing looked at Censor Song in confusion and asked, "Have you ever drunk this kind of wine before?

Censor Song was somewhat immersed in the subject. He spoke slowly:

"To be exact, the flavor of the wine you brewed is about 70% to 80% similar to a wine I once tasted."

Xie Xuan'an felt that Censor Song might have remembered it wrongly. He had just taken a small sip, but he had never tasted the flavor of the wine before.

What kind of fine wine had he not tasted in the past?

If this kind of wine with excellent taste appeared in Dayuan Kingdom or even other countries, someone would definitely collect it for him.

This old man is so old, yet he still brags.

He couldn't help but ask, "Where did you drink this kind of wine?"

Song Yushi smiled and replied, "I have only drunk this kind of wine once."

As Censor Song spoke, he looked at Xie Xuan'an.

Suddenly, he was stunned. "Where have I seen you before?"

Xie Xuanan: "..."

Xie Xuan'an just arrived in the main city last night, and he had never met Censor Song before.

After hearing what Censor Song said, Xie Xuan'an was speechless.

Look! This old man not only talks big, but also has bad eyesight!

Xie Xuanan glanced at the empty cup in Song Yushi's hand and thought,

Could it be that the aftereffect of alcohol is so strong that the old man started talking nonsense after drinking only half a glass?

Li Qingqing knew how much Old Man Song could drink.

She felt quite helpless, and while changing the hot water in the pot, she said:

"Old man, I forgot to introduce you. This young man is the magistrate of Qiushui Town. He is only seventeen years old. I guess you haven't seen him before?"

"Seventeen...I really remembered it wrong."

When Censor Song heard Li Qingqing's introduction, he immediately remembered that he had been staying at the border for so many years and realized that he had recognized the wrong person.

However, he still felt a little confused.

He found a chair and sat there to think carefully. After a while, he looked up at Xie Xuanan and said seriously:

"You look a lot like someone I used to know! Especially your eyes!"

Xie Xuanan: "..."

Xie Xuan'an blinked his peach blossom eyes and was about to speak.

But I heard that Censor Song seemed to remember something, but he was a little unsure. He murmured:

"Could it be... that you are Xuanyue's son?"

"Do you know my mother?" Xie Xuan'an was secretly alert when he heard this, but his face was unusually calm.

A'niang is not called this name now.

Anyone who can call out A Niang’s old name is most likely an old friend!

However, old friends are divided into old friends and old enemies. Which category does the person in front of me belong to?

Xie Xuan'an remained calm and looked at him quietly.

"You look very much like Xuanyue!" After receiving an affirmative response, Censor Song spoke slowly.

He seemed to be lost in deep memories, his eyes seemed to be looking back through Xie Xuan'an.

That expression revealed deep regret, and the wrinkles on his face deepened.

Censor Song murmured, "I didn't expect time to pass so quickly. It's already been twenty years!"

Xie Xuan'an looked at Censor Song, and he was also searching in his mind who this person was.

A'niang has no relatives and has always lived in seclusion, unwilling to interact with others.

In the past, he was taught strictly, but at the same time he was allowed to present himself as a playboy to others.

It was not until A Niang handed over everything she had in her hands to him that he fully understood A Niang's past.

When Xie Xuan'an heard Censor Song mention "twenty years", someone suddenly came to his mind.

That was one of the people that A Niang hated so much.

Xie Xuan'an's peach blossom eyes immediately covered with a hint of anger, and he pointed at Censor Song and said:

"I remember now! You're not dead yet?"

Li Qingqing: "..."

What's going on? What happened?

This, this, is this the rhythm of eating melons?

Li Qingqing secretly glanced at Censor Song and saw that he looked pale and muttered to himself:

"You actually know me too? Xuanyue... told you what happened back then?"

Li Qingqing then looked at Xie Xuan'an, thinking to herself: Could it be that there is some past between Old Man Song and little Xie's mother?

Could it be that Xie Xuan'an is Old Man Song's child?

This...should I pretend I didn't hear it and let them reminisce about the past?

Li Qingqing tried her best to reduce her presence. She hid aside and brewed wine, pretending to be busy.

In fact, he was eavesdropping with his ears perked up.

Xie Xuanan did not shy away from suspicion and continued:

"If it weren't for you, that great general wouldn't have died! Ha! His family was wiped out, and yet you're still living so comfortably?!"

Oh! It turns out it's not a personal affair, but something else.

Li Qingqing felt a little relieved, but she didn't quite understand. The general was killed, so what? Twenty years ago, Xiao Xie wasn't even born yet. Why was he so angry?

Judging from the situation, could it be that the general was killed by old man Song?

Or was that general the person that Xiao Xie's mother loved when she was young?

Just as Li Qingqing was lost in thought, she heard Censor Song take a deep breath and slowly say:

"I do feel guilty about what happened back then, but it wasn't my intention. I was also deceived by a villain. By the time I learned the news, it was already too late."

Xie Xuanan sneered and said,

"You civil servants are always selfish. You think you are impartial and selfless? You just write whatever you want, but you don't know that this will distort the facts and harm people's lives!"
