Time flies. After the New Year, before you know it, spring is coming to the north and south.

The sun is shining in the evening, and the clouds are burning in full swing in the western sky. Unfortunately, such a view is destined to be short-lived. Just like the current Great Zhou Dynasty, the sunset is infinitely better, but it is just near dusk!

The man named Bai Ye stood up on the cornices of the castle tower, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Los Angeles, which was about to be shrouded in twilight again. I couldn't help but secretly make up my mind in my heart, tonight, no matter what, I must take the East China Sea Blue Rhino Bead in my hand.

White Night is a great thief. His stealing methods have been superb, over the years, not to mention the door of ordinary magnates, even if it is the palace of all countries in the world, he has entered it several times. Almost everything that he looks at is caught by hand, and there are few times when he misses.

However, it was the first time to steal something in Los Angeles, where the emperor of Great Zhou was located. And, because this time was significant, he had to be extra cautious.

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty was twilight, it was no longer as powerful as it was back then. But this Los Angeles, after nearly a thousand years of wind and rain, is even more majestic. Even Qin Zhifeng'an, Zhao Zhilongcheng, Qi Canghai, and Wei Zhiliang, who are known as the four famous cities in the world, cannot be compared with them at all, both in terms of scale and influence.

The rise and fall of an ancient empire is naturally not of interest to the thief White Night. All his attention now was focused on the emerald rhino bead that had come here from Canghai City in the Qi Kingdom.

Because, the woman he only loved in his life was thousands of miles away waiting to restore the light with this big pearl from the deep sea.

"Aqiao, don't worry...... No matter what the price is, I must let you see the clear water of the Spring River and the peach blossoms of Shu Mountain with your own eyes. ”

The night breeze blew, and the figure that jumped off the city wall disappeared into the twilight. Only this oath was left, and no one in Los Angeles heard it.

The imperial capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty has not been so lively for a long time. Because in a few days, it will be the day of Zhou Tianzi's 100th birthday. Some important people from all over the world came to Los Angeles to celebrate the titular "Lord of the World."

In the case of this dynasty that has been inherited for thousands of years, it is undoubtedly a miracle that this Zhou Tianzi can still live at such an age. No one in the world knows what kind of mood he feels when he watches his power gradually wear away over the years. But there is no doubt that the heart of the emperor in the depths of the palace is very old.

People who came with all kinds of purposes saw the event as a grand gathering. Among the first group of arrivals, including several kings, Lanling Jun from the East China Sea Qi Kingdom, although his identity is not very important, his reputation is very great.

The wealth accumulated by the Qi State by taking advantage of the benefits of the mountains and seas made its national strength stronger and stronger. Today, among the countries in the world divided by the Great Zhou Dynasty, it can be regarded as the top power. Even if you can't count one, it's still in the top five.

And Tian Wuzhao, who was named Lanling Jun, is the younger brother of King Qi. This time, he was entrusted by the King of Qi to carry valuable gifts to celebrate the birthday of the Son of Heaven, but in addition, he shouldered another important mission.

However, when he came to Los Angeles from the East China Sea with a large number of attendants, he was disappointed. for the man he wanted to see did not come. Although there are many people who are as disappointed as him, Lan Lingjun's disappointment is extremely heavy. Because, this is related to a major decision of Qi State.

"Childe, is it really necessary for us to go to tonight's dinner?"

The person who spoke with a frown was the personal think tank he brought from the Qi Kingdom. As the son of Qi who is famous all over the world, Tian Wuzhao is known for being a good "raiser". There are many great men in the service of him.

"Of course I want to go! The invitation has already been sent, how can you go back? ”

Lan Lingjun is only twenty-seven or eight years old this year. Handsome face, handsome boy. He has always had a reputation as a corporal of courtesy. Perhaps only the occasional flash of brilliance in his eyes can reveal the edge hidden in his heart.

"But...... Childe's time is precious, and it seems that there is no need to waste it on Zhao Guo's waste material! ”

"Scrap wood? Hehe...... I don't believe rumors, I only believe my own eyes. What's more, if we want to know the true situation of King Zhao, we can only get a glimpse of it from this prince. Is there anything else you can do better? ”

Tian Wuzhao raised his head and looked at his henchmen. Under the lights, there was a faint glint in his eyes. Then he added.

"If he's really a piece of waste, that's fine......."

Hearing the deep meaning of his words, several people around him suddenly realized. They couldn't help but nod their heads together, and they all had smiles on their faces.

"What Childe said is extremely true! That Chu Jiangmian was called a gentleman by the people of Zhao State, and it was said that he was useless...... If so, there may be many secrets from his mouth! Hehe! ”

Several people laughed together. The plan was immediately decided, so he was ready and hugged Lan Lingjun to the meeting.

Since Los Angeles is known as the center of the world, the original scale of construction was very grand. Although there is no longer that kind of majestic atmosphere, in the twilight, under the reflection of the lanterns in the city, there is still a bit of a lively scene.

The location of Lanling Juntian's unsolicited guests is on the restaurant on the central street. It is said that the food in this place is so delicious that he has been famous for a long time and has wanted to taste it for a long time. This is a rare opportunity.

A bright moon broke through the sky. Lan Lingjun, who was dressed in white, stepped up the wooden ladder on the third floor with dashing steps, and when he looked up, he saw that someone had been waiting for him for a long time.

A young boy was standing by the window and turned back when he heard the voice. The eyes are like bright stars, and the light flows. Beyond the vermilion lacquer railing, the bright moon hung high and the night sky was deep, forming a vast background just behind him. I don't know why, when I saw this person for the first time, the thought that suddenly passed through Lanling Juntian Wuzhao's mind was: "This son...... Extraordinary characters! ”

The person who can surprise him with his well-informed nature is naturally unique. However, Lan Lingjun didn't show any abnormality on his face, he just asked with a faint smile.

"But Prince Jiang Mian? It's been a long time...... Hehe! ”

Chu Jiangmian, who crossed eight hundred miles of mountains and rivers from Longcheng in Zhao Kingdom to Luocheng in Zhongzhou, did not wear any gorgeous clothes. If you walk on the street, no one will ever think that he is the "unscrupulous" under the knee of the famous Zhao King Chulie!

"I heard that it was Lanlingjun who had a treat, so I naturally had to come early and wait...... It is said that the food at this restaurant is good, and it will be a feast tonight. ”

Looking at the prince of Zhao who came over with a smile, Lan Lingjun was very suspicious that what he saw at first glance just now was an illusion. The gentleman is indeed a gentleman, and as soon as he opens his mouth, his true nature is revealed. His face couldn't help but smile with joy. Grab each other's arms and sit down together to say hello.

The attendants of the Qi Kingdom who followed stood behind, and they could all see in each other's eyes that they were disdainful of the prince. Compared with their lineup, there was only a thin hunchbacked old man who followed Chu Jiangmian, a man with two knives on his back, and a "teenager" who looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old. And with the viciousness of Lan Lingjun's eyes, he only glanced at it slightly, and he could already see that this "young man" was a girl wearing men's clothes. But I don't know what identity it is.

The attendants of the Qi State had already arranged everything in advance. Soon, all kinds of exquisite dishes were delivered. Lan Lingjun is generous and hospitable, so he naturally doesn't care about this little expense.

A large table was full of them, and Tian Wuzhao warmly beckoned Chu Jiangmian to sit down. And Prince Zhao casually pulled the girl dressed as a man to sit beside him, as if he was used to it. The attendants of the Qi Kingdom were all a little dissatisfied, but when they saw Lan Lingjun's eyes secretly signaling that they didn't have to care, they all held back.

"Prince Jiang Mian, the first time we meet, a glass of wine, I'll do it first as a respect!"

Lan Lingjun, as the host, toasted and drank it all. Unexpectedly, Chu Jiangmian just sniffed it, shook his head slightly and said.

"The food is good, but the wine is ordinary...... Let's wait. ”

When he had finished speaking, he turned back and commanded. The big man with the knife on his back came over with a small jar of wine. The mud seal was removed and placed on the desk, and a chilling aroma immediately filled the small space.

The wine of Los Angeles is naturally the best wine in the world. After the entrance, Lan Lingjun was already very satisfied. Hearing Chu Jiangmian's criticism, he originally frowned. However, after smelling the aroma of wine emanating from the small dark blue jar, I couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

"This ...... What kind of wine is this? ”

"Lan Lingjun, please taste it before you talk about it."

Tian Wuzhao couldn't wait, looking at the white jade wine cup that Chu Jiangmian handed over with a smile, he raised his glass without hesitation, the liquor burned his throat, like fire and mellow, and the taste was unexpectedly unprecedented, not like all in the world. I couldn't help but exclaim loudly.

"Good wine! Prince Jiang Mian, dare to ask where did you get it? ”

"Huh! Truth be told, it's a ...... that I've brewed indiscriminately. ”

Lan Lingjun's eyes widened and he looked at Chu Jiangmian again with a look of disbelief. He has a noble status and has drunk all the best wine in the world, but compared to the altar in front of him, what he has drunk before is simply unbearable!

"The prince is homemade? …… So what's its name? ”

"Oh, it's just a cup, and it's worth a name...... If Lan Lingjun likes it, he can name it himself. ”

"Prince Jiang Mian...... What does this mean? ”

"Jiang Mian admired the name of Lanlingjun in Zhao Guojiu, and when he met for the first time, he was not respectful, and he was willing to give this wine and the method of brewing, what is it?"

Lan Lingjun was overjoyed. That's a lot of money. He stood up and casually instructed his attendants.

"Come on, bring the blue rhino beads!"

Under the moonlight, the people who had been hiding on the eaves on the third floor of the restaurant for a long time finally waited for this moment. The East China Sea blue rhino beads have long been booked by him as a bag.
