Chapter 2 The Pillar of the Cloud Section 24 The Snake Charmer
On the third day after the blizzard stopped, Unki arrived at Rope Ridge with a copper staff wrapped around a small snake. For three days, he searched everywhere for Zhulan Tuya's whereabouts, but Zhulan Tuya was not in Yuheng Peak, nor did she return to Langyue Village, she seemed to have disappeared from the world. Unqi tried his best to extract a confession from the dream snake on the bronze staff, but the little snake was afraid of him on the surface, but in fact he was not afraid of it, because it could turn into a spirit at any time, ignoring all kinds of damage.
Unable to find Zhulan Tuya, Wu Enqi suddenly had a thought: Zhu Lan Tuya beside him was gone, but at this time, another Zhu Lan Tuya was in the cave of Burning Ridge, what would happen if he rushed over and took her away?
On May 2 of that year, he launched the Time Bridge in order to rescue Zhulan Tuya, and returned from May 2 to March 3. But if he had taken Julan Tuya before the 2nd of May, he would have escaped by jumping into the Sea of Illusory Fire on the night of the 1st of May. Then he and she would not return to the 3rd of March, and Julan Tuya would not have been deceived by the devil. However, since he did not go back to the past, no one would take Zhulan Tuya in advance.
Extrapolating like this, cause and effect have become a mess, but in any case, going to Burning Ridge to take Julan Tuya away will keep her away from the devil's schemes. It was with this intention in mind that Un Wizards came to Chainrope Ridge, because on the opposite side of Ironrope Ridge was Burning Ridge and the cave where they had once hidden.
The ropeway of Tiesuo Ling connects the various low ridges in the vicinity, and there is a military village of the Yuheng family on Tiesuo Ling, and there are some shops and restaurants near the military village. Wu Enqi pushed open the door of a restaurant with one hand, strode in, he looked around with his eyes, and in the center of the restaurant sat several noisy men, they were wearing standard chain mail, and the chain mail had the family crest of the Yuheng family.
Wu Enqi walked to the counter quietly, asked the bartender for a glass of ale, and asked in a low voice: "Are they from the Yuheng family? I have never seen them so noisy, that one in high boots, could it be a great man?"
The bartender said disdainfully: "It's just a soldier commander in Tiesuo Ridge, who is drinking here if there are capable people?"
Wu Enqi threw down fifty gold coins and jokingly said: "There will be no seeds, and the white clothes will be out of the minister." I think these are the heroes in the cloth, and I really want to make friends with them, so you can serve us some good dishes, and ask for the strongest wine here. ”
Wu Enqi walked to the table of the soldiers, hugged his fists and said: "A few elder brothers, the younger brother came here from afar, and I saw a few people preaching and talking extraordinary. There is a way that all brothers are brothers in the four seas, and the younger brother wants to get acquainted with all the brothers, I wonder if the brothers can appreciate their faces and get drunk?"
The soldiers of the Yuheng family were drinking heartily, and after listening to Wu Enqi's flattering words, the commander of the soldiers was not happy.
The commander glared at him and scolded: "Damn the bitch, what are you drinking?" Wen Zou Zou jumped out to spoil the fun. I hate you most of all, get out of here! Fuck, look at it, if you don't get out, I'll pick out your eyeballs!"
Wu Enqi shouted in his heart: "Oh my mother, they all say that they don't hit smiling people when they raise their hands, why are there even smiling people here?"
Unqi sneered, although he had lost his right arm and all his fighting energy, his strength was far less than before, but it was still not a problem to clean up a few uneducated drunks.
Unqi stood up with one arm, grabbed the commander by the collar, grabbed him, and threw his head and feet on the ground. When the drunken soldiers saw that their boss had been beaten, they all jumped up to make a move.
Unqi slammed the table and shouted, "Sit down, if you want to be brothers, drink wine and eat meat with me." If you don't want to be a brother, I'll send him to Hades right away!"
The boat people are ferocious, and they worship strength just as much as the demons. The soldiers of the Yuheng family stared at each other for a while, and they all sat down obediently.
After a while, the commander of the soldier who had been knocked out came to his senses and shouted, "Oh, why does my head hurt so much?"
A soldier stepped forward and said, "Big brother, you've finally woken up." You were drunk just now, and you fell hard. ”
The half-drunk commander's eyes widened, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Another soldier pointed to the one-armed boy sitting at the table and said, "Thanks to this little brother, if he hadn't helped you with his hand, you might have fallen into a whammy." ”
The commander shook his head, a little confused, he hugged his fist towards Wu Enqi and said, "Little brother, old brother, I thank you." Looks like I've drunk too much, fuck, I can't be old. ”
Wu Enqi couldn't help but laugh, raised his glass and said: "It's not enough to worry about it, we have done this cup to suppress the shock for the eldest brother." ”
Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all, although something was wrong, but all the wine and food were served.
While the food was serving, a soldier put his mouth in front of the commander's ear and whispered, "Boss, he is the cousin of Ai Yan's boy, and Ai Yan is the personal guard who always follows the general." ”
The commander was a little weak-hearted, but whispered and feigned anger: "A mere guard, can you still compare to me?"
The soldier said, "Big brother, have you forgotten?" The general always takes Ai Yan out alone, either at night or for a few days, I heard that ...... They also slept together. ”
The soldier commander said: "There is such a thing! So I was beaten in vain just now? Damn, drink!"
The beaten soldier grabbed a glass of wine and drank it as if venting. At this time, the wine and food have been served, the wine is a spirit, and the food is a good dish. If you have drunk together, you are brothers, and this is an unwritten rule between the boatmen and men. Since they are brothers, of course they can't hold grudges when they have conflicts.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Wu Enqi raised his glass and said: "Old brother, I offended a lot just now, and my little brother apologizes to you." ”
The commander of the army, who was even more drunk, said: "Forget it, if you don't fight, you don't know each other." I said, brother, you are good, brother, I will obey you. I see that you are young, how can you ...... Your right arm?"
Unki glanced at the brass staff beside him, the Dream Snake wrapped around the staff was stretching its neck to ask him for a drink. Unqi poured a glass of liquor into its mouth with bad intentions, turned back to the commander and the soldiers, and said, "Brothers, I don't know, I was originally a wizard, and I broke an arm in the Battle of the White River. Although the Yaoguang family gave me some pensions, it couldn't last long after all. I had heard that my brother was serving under General Arslen, so I came to him in the hope of getting a job. ”
The soldier commander said: "I see, you want us to send a message to your brother Aiyan, don't you? ”
Wu Enqi thought to himself: I don't know if they are not here yet, they should be in Burning Ridge at this time, I just need to ask Aiyan out alone, with his internal response, it will be much easier to take Zhulan Tuya away.
Unqi and the soldiers in the fortress drank until it was getting late, and they agreed that as soon as Aiyan returned, they told him to come to the restaurant to find him. Sending off the drunks, Unqi dragged the copper staff and hid in a secluded place with a pot of wine, and poured half a pot of wine into the mouth of the Dream Snake.
After drinking half a pot of liquor in one go, the Dream Snake wrapped around the copper rod had turned into a wine fairy snake, and it stammered, "Good wine...... Hiccup, the snake is proud...... Rejoice, rejoice, re...... Have a pot. ”
"There's no wine," said Uenki, "so why should I give you wine?"
"We, Hiccup, aren't we...... Friend...... Friend!" said the wine fairy snake with a salivating face, "Really...... Stingy! You're so stingy...... Morning and night by the girl ...... Shake, shake, shake, la-la-la-la...... Lala......"
Wu Enqi poured another sip of wine into the wine fairy snake, and said quietly, "Why did Zhulan Tuya dump me?"
The wine fairy snake said: "I don't ...... Tell you, hiccup...... Anyway, you ...... I'm going to be dumped. Do you still think ...... She is Zhulan...... Tuya. When she reappeared, it was ...... It's the emperor's daughter...... Lu Shulan. At that time, you ...... Lift her shoes...... None of them deserve it!"
Wu Enqi said: "Then when will she appear? Forget it, I won't ask you, you don't know anyway." ”
The wine fairy snake said with a red face: "I...... Why don't you know? You're too young...... I'm ...... Snake, the general of the snake. When she learns the etiquette of the court, Hiccup, she will ...... Come back and get ...... Holding the jade seal...... Meet the old monster in the dock fairy. ”
Wu Enqi continued to persuade, "What did she do when she saw the Dock Immortal?"
The wine fairy snake squinted his red eyes and said, "Of course you can't guess, the boss told me." You boat people are too good-looking, thinking back to the past, the expeditionary army was ordered by the king to conquer the subordinate, out of the realm to chase the death and chase the north, how majestic, how domineering! Now you are going to be unable to mix in the demon world, everyone wants to roll up the cover and flee back to their hometown, but they are afraid that they will be laughed at by others after they go back. Tut-tut, in fact, there is a fart in the face!"
Wu Enqi said: "You are right, the boat people want to return to the Renlong Continent, and it is indeed a bit embarrassing to be nameless. ”
The wine fairy snake shook his head and said: "So our boss helped you make up a name, he wants the emperor Lu Shulan to take the jade seal of the country and the sword of the human emperor to the other world, bring the edict of the human monarch, pay homage to the immortals in the dock, and ask the ancient righteous master to return to the human dragon continent to fight against the giant thieves of the country." With such a good name, it is justified for the boat people to return to the Renlong Continent. Even if someone jumps out against it, he will become a thousand fingers. ”
Listening to the words of the wine fairy snake, Wu Enqi felt a chill down his spine, and he couldn't imagine that the snake beetle Gu in the world had taken away Zhulan Tuya, and there was such a far-reaching calculation. In this way, the snake seemed to hope that the boat people would leave the Cloud Mountain and return to the Renlong Continent. If he can return to the Human Dragon Continent, it doesn't seem to be bad for the 800,000 boat people in the original demon realm, at least the descendants of the boat people don't have to worry about the danger of extinction.
Unqi fell into deep thought, and the wine fairy snake continued to drink heartily with the flask in his mouth. It stared at its small round eyes and thought it had succeeded, but Unch didn't ignore one detail: the Brewmaster was not actually drunk, and its last words were clear and coherent. It knew from the beginning that Unki wanted to get drunk, and all it said was deliberately spoken to him.
