Chapter 2 Watching the Tide
Qin State, Right Hill City.
Seventy years ago, the right hill was just a small town on the left side of the imperial capital of Wuguo, because there was a hill on the right side of the town, so the town was named "Right Hill".
After Qin and Darkness sent troops to annex the territory of Wu, Youqiu became a border town of Qin.
Twenty years ago, Qin Nu: Ding Rui married Jiang Shaoxi, the crown prince of the Dark Kingdom, so the relationship between the two countries has eased since the Battle of the Imperial Capital of Wuguo seventy years ago.
Two years later, the new prince of the dark kingdom, Jiang Ying, who inherited the bloodline of Qin and the dark kingdom, was born, and took advantage of this opportunity to sign the "Border Trade Agreement" with the Qin emperor who had just ascended the throne at that time, and set the right hill town of Qin as a place for merchants to trade between the two countries.
The sun is rising, and Youqiu City has ushered in another lively day.
In an alley in Youqiu City, a small wooden sign with "In Business" still hangs outside the door of a small bar. Bars in Right Hill are usually only open at night, and are not often found in bars that are open 24 hours a day, such as small ones.
The rising sun shines through the gaps between the tall buildings and shines on the bar's faΓ§ade, reflecting a glow from the stained glass embedded in the door panels. A few birds flew to the birdhouse set up by the bar staff outside the door, pecked at the chestnut rice inside, and occasionally the morning luck person flew away after passing them, and after wandering for a while, they flew down to continue pecking. Although this bar is in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city, it gives people the feeling of "staying in the human realm without cars" from a distance.
Inside the bar, a woman with a ball head hums an unknown tune, gently wiping a goblet made of pink crystal with silk on her hand, and occasionally turning her eyes to the young man who is bartending at the bar. The young bartender shook the shaker and poured the turquoise liquid onto the triangular goblet.
"Guest, this is your sea viewing. The young bartender smiled softly and placed the tide in front of a drunken woman lying on her stomach at the bar.
"Handsome man, don't you really think about messing with your sister? I give you more in a month than you can in a year in this bar. The woman smiled and winked at the young bartender.
The young bartender glanced at the ball-headed woman, who glanced at him, and the young bartender shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Thank you for the kindness of the guests, I really like the profession of bartender." β
"It's a pity that you have this face, it's a waste not to be an idol. The woman picked up the triangular goblet and drank the blue liquid, and then the woman was smart, and the faint nausea in her body eased a lot, and the woman's misty eyes were a little more sober, and said: "You lie to me, this is not watching the tide at all, but the Biluo Hongsen juice specially used to sober up." β
"The guests drank enough alcohol, and for the safety of the guests, I think it is better to drink in moderation. The young bartender smiled slightly and said.
"I didn't order Biluo Hun Sen juice, I don't pay for it. β
There was a sly look in the woman's eyes.
"Don't worry, this is what I have invited to my guests, and I thank them for their support to our restaurant. β
The woman looked at the woman with the head of the ball, and the other party was still wiping the crystal cup with silk, "Aren't you afraid that your little girlfriend will be jealous?"
"She understands me. The young bartender spat out four words, and his words revealed confidence.
"Tsk, you'd better coax your little girlfriend later, if a woman is jealous, it will be better than you men. After playing all night, it's time for my sister to go back. The woman picked up the silver handbag beside her, took out ten hundred-dollar bills and placed them on the table, "No need to look for it." β
"Guests walk slowly. β
The young bartender didn't touch the money in order to keep his hands clean, and let it sit on the bar. The money was collected by other waiters.
The woman just wanted to open the door of the bar, but felt a push coming from outside the door, and she took a step back and let go of the hand holding the door, allowing the people outside to push the door open.
The person who came was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man with black eyes, and his clothes and pants were a little dusty, giving people a feeling of embarrassment. After seeing the woman standing in front of him, he subconsciously turned sideways and made way for the woman quite gracefully.
The woman nodded in thanks and left the bar.
"Guest, welcome to Guanhaichao, can we provide you with any services?" the bartender smiled slightly when he saw the arrival of the black-eyed young man, and said politely.
"What a guest, that's my little cousin, you don't recognize it. The woman with the head of the ball glared at the young bartender, said very dissatisfied, and then walked to the black-eyed young man and said with a smile: "Little cousin, why do you have time to come and see your cousin." β
"Isn't that just that...... Do you miss your cousin before you come to take a look?"
As if she hadn't heard the strangeness in the black-eyed youth's words, the ball-headed girl took the black-eyed young man to a position in front of the stage bar and said, "It's better to be a little cousin, unlike some people who can't even remember what my cousin looks like." β
The young bartender touched his nose and smiled helplessly, he knew that the woman with the head of the ball was just taking the opportunity to be angry to express her dissatisfaction with the young bartender and the woman just now.
"It's my fault, I don't know, what does my little cousin want to drink? β
"A glass of juice is fine. The black-eyed youth said.
The young bartender poured a glass of juice for the black-eyed youth.
The woman with the head of the ball handed a wet towel to the black-eyed young man and said, "Wipe the dust off your body first, and see how dirty you become." When my uncle-in-law and sister-in-law went on a business trip, I saw you like this again. β
The black-eyed young man didn't say a word, picked up a damp cloth and quietly wiped the dust on his body.
"Cui Xiaoke, why don't you tell us about your little cousin?" said a waiter.
"His name is Jiang Yue, a mixed race of dark Qin, and at the same time a poor child, the 'pitiful' I mean is not the misfortune of life, but 'pitiful' in another sense. Other people's children are the crystallization of his parents' love, but my little cousin behaves more like a by-product of the love between my sister-in-law and my aunt. Since Jiang Yue was one year old, her sister-in-law tried to take her sister-in-law on a tour of the Qin Kingdom, and hired someone to take care of Jiang Yue who stayed at home. As he grew older, his sister-in-law and sister-in-law became less and less by his side. This also caused his temperament to become so wild and often run out. Cui Xiaoke rubbed Jiang Yue's head.
Jiang Yue looked at Cui Xiaoke without speaking, and only a wry smile remained on her face.
"It turned out to be a half-breed, no wonder he looks so handsome. After listening to Cui Xiaoke's words, a female customer suddenly realized that she was about to take a look at Jiang Yue, but was blocked by Cui Xiaoke with one hand.
"The customer is very sorry, there is a rule in the store, Party A customers are too concerned about Party B's customers who have never met. β
"Stingy. The female customer was angry but helpless, this rule was set up to protect some women who came out alone, and I didn't expect that it was used to restrict her from watching Jiang Yue's voice.
"Jiang Yue, you came out alone without bringing anything this time. I'll take you to wash up first, and then you can rest here. Cui Xiaoke said.
"Uh...... Okay, thank you cousin. Jiang Yue said.
Cui Xiaoke then turned his head and said to the young bartender: "Zuo Ze, the task of helping me buy clothes suitable for my little cousin will be handed over to you." β
"Got it. Zuo Ze nodded.
Jiang Yue followed Cui Xiaoke and soon came to the dormitory area.
"Cousin, I'll go find the bathroom myself, you can get busy first. Jiang Yue said to Cui Xiaoke with a smile.
"Yes. Cui Xiaoke's previous appearance of "domineering cousin" disappeared, but was replaced by respect, a kind of respect from the inferior to the superior.
After Cui Xiaoke left, Jiang Yue came to the bathroom, and the first thing he did was to take off the optical camouflage hidden on his face, and in an instant, some subtle changes appeared on Jiang Yue's face, the most obvious of which was that Jiang Yue's black eyes turned purple.
Jiang Yue is Jiang Yue.
The senses of the stand-in puppet and the master are shared, and after the head of the shadow guard told Jiang Jin's stand-in puppet the word "watching the tide", at the same time, Jiang Jin, who had just sneaked into the territory of the Qin State, also learned the news at the same time.
It has been three days since Jiang Ying first arrived in the Qin Kingdom, and Jiang Ying spent more than 60 hours considering whether to go to the place called "watching the sea tide". In the end, Jiang Ying still chose to compromise and obeyed the royal family's final arrangement for him before leaving. After all, everything is relative, and while Jiang Yu compromised with the royal family, it was actually a compromise with him by the royal family of the Dark Dynasty, allowing him to leave the Dark Kingdom.
It's not that hard to find the sea tide in the huge right hill city. Guanhaichao is a famous concoction of the Dark Dynasty, and generally speaking, it needs to be freshly made to taste the best, so it is only available in bars. Jiang Ying downloaded a map of Youqiu City with a light brain, and entered the words "watching the sea tide" from it, among which there is only one place that matches the name and opens a bar.
The rest of those three days was actually spent by Jiang Yu on the road, he didn't carry Qin coins with him, and if he wanted to come to this bar and didn't want to attract attention, he could only reach it by walking.
After that, Jiang Ying took off more than ten kinds of high-tech equipment from his body one after another. There's his space storage, and there's also a trigger-type space jumper like self-preservation. Most of these high-tech equipment are waterproof. However, since the Shadow Guard Commander told him this address, it also means that this is actually the dark stronghold of the Dark Dynasty in the Qin State, and the safety will definitely be guaranteed.
Jiang Yao, who had been washed up, followed the guidance of a member of the dark department and came to the dormitory specially prepared for him. As soon as I lay down in bed, sleepiness began to strike. In order to be able to come to the Qin State smoothly, he has not had a good rest for many days. But now that the royal family has made a compromise with him, it indicates that Jiang Jin's new life is about to begin.
