0607: Lotus City
seemed to know what Xiao Chen was leaving, Yun Lang and the others were depressed, and they all lowered their heads and listened to Xiao Chen quietly.
"Don't be so sad, it's not like I'm not coming back, master." Xiao Chen pretended to smile boldly.
"My lord, are you really ruthless to leave us?" Yun Lang suddenly said in an unorthodox tone.
"Didn't I tell you? I'm not letting you go, I really have something very important to leave, and besides, I've already told the emperor, and the emperor will look at the matter of the Xiaoqi camp. Xiao Chen patiently explained.
"Lord Xiao, you're leaving...... Phew, Phew...... Lord Xiao, I'm not cursing you, I mean ......"
Huo Qingyuan also wanted to say a few words, but suddenly felt that his words were a little ambiguous, so he hurriedly explained.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Chen held back a smile and said, "Do you want me to never go back or what?" ”
"Lord Xiao, this is a big misunderstanding, how dare the lower officials think that you will never return? The conscience of heaven and earth, the lower officials have put their lives in the hands of adults, which can be described as a glory...... Huo Qingyuan explained neatly.
"Okay, master, I'm pressed for time, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, if you have anything to say, say it quickly." Xiao Chen punched Huo Qingyuan in the chest and said with a smile.
"Lord Xiao, I want to say, do you have anything for us to bring to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Huo Qingyuan said straight to the point.
"No ......" Xiao Chen said this, and suddenly understood what Huo Qingyuan meant, if he left halfway like this, I am afraid that the people who were with him would not be able to make a difference.
"Okay, you can just bring a few words back with me......" Xiao Chen's expression suddenly became extremely serious, and he said slowly: "If Xiaoxiao asks me where I am, you will definitely report it truthfully, and I am afraid that she will be cranky......"
"My lord is very right, and the lower officials admire and admire ......," Huo Qingyuan said with a joke.
"You told him that as a man, there are responsibilities that I have to carry, even if they are inherited from the previous generation. Yuechen is my relative, even though we didn't come together, but so many years of relationship can't deceive people, seeing that my relatives are about to fall into the fire pit, I don't want to stand by and do nothing......"
The more Xiao Chen spoke, the quieter he became, but when it came to their emotional disputes, in order to avoid suspicion, most of the people present were looking forward to it left and right, or listening quietly, and even their breathing subconsciously restrained a lot.
"Okay, that's it, I'm leaving." Xiao Chen exhaled a long breath, turned around decisively and left.
Yun Xiao, who was dressed in casual clothes, hurriedly followed, and Yun Xiao, who had changed into casual clothes, immediately changed from a heroic soldier to a handsome boy, and his strong breath and scholarly anger were blended together, with an indescribable temperament.
Xiao Chen and Yun Xiao stood together, like two students from a certain college, plus a few pets, which gave people the feeling of being a gentleman.
Yunlang, Xiu Feng, Ren Kangde and Huo Qingyuan sent out of the tent together.
Xiao Chen and Yun Xiao didn't ride a black rhinoceros, this mount was too eye-catching, and people who understood it could recognize it as a military horse at a glance, which was greatly detrimental to their concealment of identity.
As soon as he got out of the camp, Xiao Chen suddenly turned around and walked back, Yun Lang hurriedly greeted him, and said happily: "My lord, don't you want to leave?" ”
"I don't want to leave you." Xiao Chen scolded with a smile: "I forgot to bring an intermediate frequency intercom, I have something to contact you." ”
There are three kinds of intercoms, one main intercom, which is a two-way single-line, a high-power machine that mainly communicates with various troops, and is as cumbersome as a big cabinet.
The four medium-frequency intercoms, which are mainly used for intercommunication between troops, can be carried on the shoulder, and the 20 low-power intercoms, which are also interconnected between troops, are also interconnected, but these machines are delegated to various thousand-person teams.
Xiao Chen wants one of the four, this kind of machine can be used at a distance of two or three thousand miles, but it can't communicate with the host of other troops, this disadvantage is actually a measure to prevent the intercom from being snatched by the enemy, and in turn to deal with his own people.
Of course, the main intercom can't be taken away, this is the main tool for the Xiaocai Battalion to contact Zhu Xiaoxiao's headquarters, and he can't take it away selfishly.
After the huge loss of love, the other intercoms were lost, and only the main intercom remained, which is also the reason why Xiao Chen has been calling Digano but has not been able to get through.
Of course, no individual is allowed to take anything out of the army for private use, but everyone has ignored this issue on their own.
Xiao Chen brought the intercom, and really left after leaving the camp this time.
Along the way, Xiao Chen and Yun Xiao both used aircraft to travel, blowing cold winds, ushering in the scorching sun, trekking through mountains and rivers, and there was no rest along the way.
At more than ten o'clock in the morning, Xiao Chen and Yun Xiao came to the next city, Lotus City.
The farther away from the imperial capital, the lower the impact of the war, and although the whole city was on guard, with patrolling soldiers on the gates and on the streets, there was a small gate at each of the four gates for the passage of the caravan of pedestrians.
Xiao Chen and Yun Xiao entered Lotus City in the caravan that entered the city, and the soldiers guarding the city did not interrogate or check their physical documents at all, but the emperor coins that entered the city were still collected.
Xiao Chen took Yunxiao into the city, mainly to buy or rent a hovercar, a hovercar that can travel long distances, and it is okay to use a flying machine for a short distance, if it is a long distance, it is not a matter of wind and rain, and it is not a matter of rest.
If there is a hovering car, Xiao Chen and Yun Xiao can change their driving and rest, so that they can rush all the way to Eucalyptus City.
Since you have entered the city, of course, you must take a good bath and eat a big meal to see if you can replenish some living materials.
Of course, you have to be a summoner's association to buy things, but before buying things, the two of them wandered around the city at random, observing the changes in the atmosphere in the city and inspecting the strategic position of the place.
Lotus City does not have a strategic position, if it were not for the Lotus Mountain Range, which is rich in mineral materials, this city would not have it.
The city is not big, it is not as good as the border city, Xiao Chen walked a few streets, and when he saw a patrol in front of him interrogating passers-by, he cleverly took Yun Xiao into a hotel.
After taking a good bath, Xiao Chen and Yun Xiao went to the hall to have a hearty lunch, so as to go out in a hurry.
In fact, don't look at the city occupies a small amount of land, but there are a lot of local specialties, in addition to some rare ores and mountain delicacies, there is also a very famous wine, called lotus wine, the raw material lotus rice is produced in Lotus Mountain, a kind of plant fruit like bud valley.
Xiao Chen felt that drinking some wine was more suitable for Li Bai before, and he heard that the wine here was famous in the whole empire, and many big people liked this kind of wine, so he was a little moved.
Later, I heard that the real lotus wine was the royal wine, except that the royal family only supplied it to summoners above the grandmaster, and the quantity was very small.
Xiao Chen heard that the brewing process of imperial liquor is extremely complicated and strict, so it has not produced much, and every drop of liquor is worth thousands of gold and is extremely precious.
However, there is nothing that money can't do, except for the annual offering, there will be some inventory of special wine, one is to prevent the royal family from suddenly increasing the order, the second is to deal with some big people who can't afford to offend, and the third is to seek wealth.
A small pot of one pound is worth 20,000 beads, such an expensive price puts an end to the desire of the vast majority of people to taste, there are 20,000 beads, it is better to buy equipment or inscriptions to increase their own strength.
Even some big families can't afford to squander, and even if they buy it, they are reluctant to take it out and taste it, and they are generally used on extremely important occasions.
Of course, such an expensive value also sets off the extraordinary nature of the imperial wine, of course, such an expensive wine is of course also worth the price, because the lotus wine has the function of nourishing the soul and replenishing qi and blood, and I heard that it can also increase people's wisdom, but most of the legends of this kind of people cannot be taken seriously.
If it can really increase people's wisdom, the emperor who drinks every day may not be so wise and extraordinary?
After listening to these legends, Xiao Chen went to learn about the Royal Brewing Company.
The Royal Brewing Company only brews wine for the royal family and noble summoners, and a forbidden area is drawn in the city, and I heard that there are royal guards on duty, and after King Langya usurped the throne, he didn't have time to take care of these, and the loyal royal guards did not receive the order to retreat, and they were still loyal to the guard.
In addition to the royal brewing company, there are many small wineries in Lotus City, which are either public or private, and the wine brewed is also called Lotus wine, which is sold to the whole empire.
Xiao Chen also bought some wine of various grades, inquired about the news with others, of course, he also tasted various flavors of wine, and also saw the raw materials, such as rice grains like bud rice.
There are many varieties of lotus wine, some are strong, some are sweet and delicious, some are soft and glutinous, and there are also drinks that are not intoxicating like Ruozi wine.
If you want to buy wine, of course, you have to buy the best, the royal wine specially provided by the royal family is on Xiao Chen's list, and his persistence makes Yun Xiao very unincomprehensible.
Obviously said that he was in a hurry to go to Eucalyptus City, but now he was here to ask someone about the inside of the drink, Yun Xiao muttered to himself, the adult doesn't look like a person who can drink alcohol at this age, does he want to give it away? By the way, I must want to give it to Lord Lan.
Thinking that he could dip Xiao Chen's light and see the Empire's Optimus Pillar Stone-like Blue Dome Sky, Yun Xiao felt a little excited in his heart.
Therefore, Yun Xiao volunteered to tell Xiao Chen that he had a way to get some wine, and the quantity would not be much, at most two or three small pots.
The reason why Yun Xiao dared to pat his chest and say this was because he was also a royal guard, and he knew the doorway in the middle, no matter Xiao Chen's identity or the target he was going to give it to, he was eligible to get the real lotus wine.
Xiao Chen was overjoyed, he took out a million beads to Yun Xiao, and said: "Of course, the more good things the better, it's good if you don't drink them and give them away, this million beads will be held for you first, how much can you get, if not, I'll find Xiaoxiao to find a way......"
"My lord, don't worry, this matter is on me, and you don't have to bother His Royal Highness the Prince." Yun Xiao heard Xiao Chen say to give it away, and he was even more sure that the person Xiao Chen wanted to send was his idol, so he patted his chest and said.
