After repeatedly confirming that Pang Bingyue was only my nephew and nephew in the human world, and I was not a true immortal from the immortal world, Li Hum became enthusiastic about me again, and called me "Brother Xu" very affectionately.

Out of the Moon Hunting Pavilion, the group followed Li Hum towards the palace-like city lord's mansion with a round roof below.

Arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, Chen Qinglong and Qi Hengshu led the escort team and followed Wen Zhongfu to the back of the palace, where it was said that there was a vacant barracks dedicated to entertaining the envoys from the outer city.

Li Hum walked to the gate of the confined City Lord's Mansion, but there was not even a gatekeeper.

I was wondering, but Li Hum said to me with a smile: "Brother Xu, please wait, but he stood in front of the gate and yelled: "Open the door with sesame!"

When the group was dumbfounded and looked at each other, they saw that the two square doors cracked a small crack with a "creak", and then "creaked" to both sides.

Li Hum then turned around and said to us: "A little trick, hahaha!"

I had already seen the gears and steel cables buried under the gate, and I couldn't help but smile and said, "The city lord is still childlike, this gate is ...... It's fun, hahaha!"

Entering the gate, it is a huge square, but the ground is paved with white marble, the square is only dotted with a few grass and trees, and there are a few poplars standing in the distance.

A few beauties dressed in palace costumes were feeding the pigeons in the square, and when they saw Li Huh, they hurriedly came over to say goodbye.

Li hummed but put his hands behind his back, said "um", and walked forward with us.

When I arrived at the palace, I saw several more women in the cloister teasing the parrots, and a few servants pushing dishes with metal lids and walking inside.

Li Hum smiled slightly, ignored these people and saluted him, only turned his head to me and said, "Brother Xu, I have asked the kitchen to prepare lunch, let's go." ”

I smiled and said, "That's the bother." ”

Li Hum hummed but said with a smile: "Where is it, not to say that Xu Xianshi is representing Qingfeng City, just say that the two immortal masters came to help my Wenmei people see the disease today, which is a great favor to me." ”

I smiled and said, "Since my nephew and nephew have the ability, come to see Mrs. Zun's illness, that is the work of raising your hands, how can you say that you are gracious? ”

When Li Hum heard me say this, he didn't say anything more, but led us along the corridor to the small palace on the left.

Inside, this small palace is carved and jade, the decoration is extremely luxurious, even the lamp stand hanging down from the dome, there are dozens of huge night pearls, the small palace that is a little dim, reflecting like watching fire.

In the middle of the palace, under the lampstand, there is a row of long tables, on which the gold and silver tableware are placed in the light of the night pearl, which is even more dazzling and luxurious.

Li Hum walked over and sat down on the top and said to us, "Come on, come on, everyone, please sit down." ”

After I sat down next to Li Huh, the rest of the people sat down in turn.

Li Hum smiled and said to Pang Bingyue, who was sitting next to me: "My imperial chef, of course, can't be compared with Pang Immortal Master, but I also have the cooking skills of both immortals and gods, and I have a unique flavor when I eat it." ”

As we spoke, several servants were already pushing small carts to bring the dishes, and placed the plates in front of us one by one.

When a servant put the knife, fork and napkin in front of me, I couldn't help but be startled, and turned my head to look at Qingyu, who was sitting below, only to find that Qingyu was also looking at me suspiciously.

Li Hum picked up a pair of chopsticks and said to me with a smile: "This chef is very, not to say that you have to use knives and forks to eat the dishes he makes, let's ignore him, and use whatever you like." ”

I smiled and asked tentatively, "I wonder if this chef is a blonde and blue-eyed alien?"

Li Hum stared at me like a ghost and said, "Have you seen my chef?"

I smiled, but I thought to myself, I have been in the Three Realms for so long, and I really haven't seen a single Westerner, so it stands to reason that I shouldn't! Even if there are no Westerners in the Wonderland, what about the Kingdom of God? It is not that there is no Westerner in the human world who has become a god, right?

But I heard Li hum and said: "I, the chef, is really a fake Terran, that is, it looks strange, but it is definitely a Terran." ”

I smiled and said, "The Western people in the human world are different from us, but there is no doubt that the human race. ”

When Li Hum heard me say this, he relieved himself and said, "This person has fled to me from the kingdom of God, but he is ...... with me."

After thinking about it, he continued, "Friend. ”

Seeing that I was quite surprised, he smiled and said: "I met him when I was a pee, and after becoming the lord of the city, I was supposed to promote him, but he had some scruples, so he became my imperial kitchen manager. ”

As if he remembered something, he smiled again: "My City Lord's Mansion was redesigned by his hands. He also designed the gate for me, from a story he told me. ”

I smiled and said, "I see." ”

But he said in his heart: "One thousand and one nights, when I was a child, this was a bedtime story that belonged to every school-age child." ”

At this time, the servants were served, but the appetizer was the first plate, which was actually smoked salmon. The second course was a light stew, and I tasted it, which was winter melon and shrimp soup.

Immediately laughed, it seems that he is a Lanxi chef.

Sure enough, it was followed by a slimy chunk of hot appetizers, but I don't know what it was made of.

After the steak was served, a Westerner wearing a tall white chef's hat and a chef's uniform arrived at the restaurant, but did not speak, but stood aside and looked at Qingyu wearing a napkin and holding a knife and fork in amazement.

I saw Qingyu pick up a knife and fork, cut off a small piece of steak, forked it with a fork, brought the steak to his mouth, chewed it lightly a few times and swallowed it, and then gently wiped his mouth with a napkin.

The chef muttered something in a low voice, but saw Qingyu turn his head to him and said, "Dead foreign devil, don't curse!"

Everyone stared at the two of them in amazement, and the chef opened his mouth even wider and said, "Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Qingyu smiled and said, "Lanxi, you dead foreign devil, don't think that the old lady doesn't understand." ”

I smiled and snorted at Li Ming, who also looked demented: "I, a young housekeeper, am proficient in the language of the human world and very knowledgeable. ”

The cook bowed slightly, and said to Qingyu: "Venerable madam, I am very surprised to hear my hometown dialect here, and I am offended in a hurry, please forgive me." ”

Qingyu ignored him, and only said: "Hurry up and serve dessert, the old lady hasn't eaten cream pudding for a long time." ”

The chef was a little embarrassed and said, "Honorable lady, today's dessert is the custard egg pudding, which will be served later." ”

Li Hum smiled and said: "It turns out that Brother Xu's housekeeper wife is so familiar with this dish of the Kingdom of God, I heard that Brother Xu is going to the Kingdom of God, and I am still worried that Brother Xu is not suitable for the Kingdom of God, but now it seems that I am too worried." ”

I smiled and said, "It turns out that the city lord already knows the purpose of my trip. Yes, Xu borrowed a thousand yuan this time, and he went to the kingdom of God. ”

Li hummed and said, "That's it, after dinner, I'll ask Mitheus to tell my brother about the kingdom of God, so that my brother won't be blackened when you get there." ”

I smiled and said, "That's great." ”

This meal, but I ate it for a full hour, which made me sigh that this Lanxi people's meal is time-consuming.

After the meal, Qingyu took Pu Yunzhi and Zhou Huai'an to clean up the guest room.

Pang Bingyue was taken to the palace behind by a palace maid, and it is said that it is the bedroom of Mrs. Wen, the sister of Wen Zhongfu, who is the beauty of Li Humm's mouth.

Lee took Mitheus and me to a study......

Well, it's probably a study, and although there aren't many books in it, there are rows and rows of wooden shelves on which there are all kinds of strange wooden models.

Lee sat down in front of the fireplace and said to me and Mitheus with a smile, "Please sit down, both of you." ”

I smiled and looked at Li Huh, but I saw that his eyes were blazing, his expression was fine, and he looked at me, completely lacking the funny and boring demeanor just now.

Li Hum smiled and said, "Lord Xu isn't strange?"

I smiled and said, "Not strange. ”

Nonsense, how can a person with majestic immortal power and a noble lord of a city be a person who talks childishly and without accidents?

Taoguang is obscure, because Qianyuan City is like a breeze, it is not treated by the fairy world, and even because of doing business with the kingdom of God and the grassland, it will also arouse the suspicion of the fairy land elders from time to time.

If you have any plans, in addition to Qingfeng, I am afraid that like Zhao Gongming and the Golden Horde, you want to unify the two realms of immortals and gods and establish a great empire that can compete with the immortal world and the kingdom of gods.

Li Hum heard me say that it was not strange, but he smiled and said, "You think wrong?"

I smiled and said, "Lord Castle, can you hear what I'm saying?"

Li Hum didn't seem to hear my words, and only said with a smile: "Let's let Mitheus introduce you to the situation of the Kingdom of God first, after all, whether it is Qianyuan City or your Chaoyang Collar now, they are actually facing the same situation." ”

I smiled, but didn't say anything more, just nodded.

As if he didn't know what was going on between us, Mitheus came over and shook my hand, and said, "Hello, Lord Xu. My name is Pro-Mitheus, and of course, it's a pseudonym. ”

I smiled and reached out to shake him.

He sat down on the chair and said, "Leader Xu is going to the Kingdom of God as a hostage, and he will stay for three years?"

I laughed when I heard this, and said, "A cook knows that I am going to the Kingdom of God as a hostage, and it seems that the secrecy work of this Qingfeng Kingdom is not very good." ”

Mitheus said with a smile: "I am from the Kingdom of God, and it has been twenty years since I fled to Thousand Yuan City from Liuli City, oh, the city-state where the Immortal Realm Elders' Church is located. ”

I was stunned for a moment and said, "You are the proton of the kingdom of God?"

Mitheus smiled and said, "Let's just say, of course, this is secondary. The main thing is that this time I am also your usher. ”

I laughed and said, "I see, then you come with us?"

He shook his head and turned his head to look at Li Huh, who smiled and nodded.

Only then did Mitheus say, "Since Lord Xu is from the human world, he should know the true meaning of my pseudonym. Well, brother think, you are my Hercules. ”

I laughed, Prometheus, Nuwa of the Western world, the defender of humanity. Because he taught the Terrans how to use fire, he was punished by Zeus and finally saved by Hercules.

Seeing that I didn't say anything, Li Hum opened his mouth and said, "Chaoyang Ling is an emerging city-state, no one dares to deny this. But when I look at what Lord Xu is doing, it seems that I don't want to unify the two realms. ”

I smiled and didn't answer Li Huh, but only asked, "What does the Kingdom of God mean?"

Mitheus shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know. Anyway, what I want to remind you is that you have to be very careful when you go to the Kingdom of God, it is not a good place, and after you go, they will not treat you as an ambassador of the breeze, they will only treat you as an ordinary person in the fairyland. And you and your retinue will most likely find a way for them to become cannon fodder for attacking Godforsaken Lands. Of course, if you just go with the mentality of spending three years in peace, you can pick up your tail and be a man, just endure some difficulties, and come back after three years, you are still the lord of the Chaoyang Lord. ”

I was silent for a moment, and asked, "My retinue and I will be sent to attack the cannon fodder of the Forsaken Lands?"

Mitheus and Lee looked at each other and laughed together.

In the end, it was Li Hum who said to me: "A year ago, I expelled all the non-human residents of Qianyuan City, do you know why?"

I had vague guesses in my mind, but I didn't dare to confirm them.

I only heard Li hum and said: "Because if they stay in Thousand Yuan City, there is a high probability that they will be sent to hell by the immortal sects of the Immortal Realm, that is, the place where the gods of the Kingdom of God are abandoned." Because it is a place where both the fairy world and the kingdom of God want to get, and from there to the human world is the closest path. ”

"Why?" I asked.

The two looked at each other again, but shook their heads together.

I fell silent, and my guess grew clear.

From the moment I arrived at the Three Realms, I felt that the so-called hell, that is, the so-called God's forsaken land by the people of the Kingdom of God, did not seem to be the literal meaning of it, but a place that everyone wanted to fight for.

But there are natives there, and there is also a defense line in the human world, so the gods and the true immortals in the fairy world invariably get the prisoners of war in the fairy land, as well as the humanoids and beasts on the grassland, to go there, just to occupy there, and then occupy the human world.

When he was in the human world, the king of the East Pole ran away, the Son of God hid in Tibet every day, the hidden immortal gate was killed and he was unwilling to be born, and the church desperately blocked the passage to hell.

Thinking of this, I stood up and said to the two of them, "Okay, thanks for the reminder, I think I know what to do." ”
