Chapter 153: Reunion under the Fireworks
Liu Yuhan's nosy temperament must have been influenced by someone, she cleared her throat slightly embarrassed, and motioned to Mu Yunxi to find an opportunity to divert the topic, after all, Xian Cheng was the most reluctant to mention his father in front of others.
"Would you like to try my handiwork, charcoal-grilled desert lizard, crunchy! five times as much protein as beef. Mu Yunxi comprehended, pointed to the four skewers on the blacksmith, and seeing that the three of them had no reaction, he personally took a skewer and swallowed it whole, admiring its deliciousness loudly.
"This black-looking thing turned out to be lizard meat, should it look so scary. Jiang Jianfei picked up a skewer and put it to his nose and sniffed, looking disgusted.
Xian Cheng didn't even have the courage to smell it, saying that he would rather starve to death in the desert than touch it.
However, the sound of chewing came from Liu Yuhan's mouth next to her, and everyone looked at her anxiously, hoping to hear the evaluation.
"It feels like blood and entrails that have been roasted hot by fire, buried in the soil for more than a month before being taken out for people to taste. ”
Liu Yuhan's description almost made everyone faint collectively, Mu Yunxi propped one hand on the edge of the table, sweating and said: "Strange! Why do I think it's not as unpalatable as you described? If it's really not delicious, why don't you have any expression at all?"
"I've long been accustomed to eating the dark dishes you make every day, but this girl is a human taste bud, and no matter how strong her endurance is, something unpalatable will never become delicious. ”
Belch...... What she meant was that my taste buds had surpassed those of humans, and I felt like I was so powerful.
Liu Yuhan's expressionless answer simply made Mu Yunxi want to cry without tears, and the other two didn't dare to touch it when they heard this.
However, Mu Yunxi had his own way, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "It is estimated that we will not arrive at the royal capital until the evening, except for four camels and two bags of water, General Gomer has left nothing for us, and when we are hungry on the road, don't look for me." ”
His trick really worked, and as soon as the words fell, Jiang Jianfei left Xian Cheng, who was willing to endure hunger, and ate the rest of the kebab alone.
Seeing that it was not early, Mu Yunxi simply arranged the tasks of several people, and then set off for the royal capital, Xian Cheng was responsible for sorting out everyone's bags, Liu Yuhan packed the tent, Jiang Jianfei took care of the camels, and after he picked up the tableware into the bags on the camel's back, a flash of memory fragments appeared in his mind.
In the early morning of the Battle of the Blood Shadow Valley, as soon as the Celestial Trench spaceship landed, it encountered a group of merchants claiming to be from the Dragon Federation, Song Zixi felt that those people were suspicious, and personally asked about it, but unfortunately, he did not notice the actions of the silver-haired woman of the Wai clan at that time.
Thinking of this, Mu Yunxi, who was riding on a camel, slapped himself on the back of the head vigorously, regretting that he hadn't asked a few more words before General Gomel left, those people were heading towards the royal capital, and there was a high chance that they would encounter the king's army heading to attack the Valley of the Blood Shadow on the way.
So, is there some kind of inevitable connection between the two?
Mu Yunxi's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the grumbling sound coming from Xian Cheng's stomach, he turned his face and glared, and then reached out and handed the bun that he had secretly left in his bag last night to the other party.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Jianfei was indignant in his heart, and immediately rushed to Mu Yunxi's side with a whip: "Okay! Brother Mu, you dare to lie to me that I didn't leave any food, what is that kid eating with relish in his mouth now?"
"Hey, how can a noble man accept the coarse food of us common people? Fortunately, I was prepared to avoid being scolded. Mu Yunxi zipped up his bags as he spoke, "I've walked most of the way, and I'm almost in the royal capital, anyway, you're not hungry, so I don't have any extra food." ”
"You're wrong! It's not that we can't eat it, it's that the charcoal-grilled lizards you made have lost their appetite. Liu Yuhan stepped forward and covered his mouth and sneered, "Even if we don't scold you, you must have been annoyed in your heart just now, otherwise why don't you get along with your head." ”
"It's none of your business!"
"Oh, it has something to do with those people!"
Everyone looked in the direction of Liu Yuhan's finger, and saw that the royal capital was crowded with people from all over the world, including merchants with carts, merchants with thousands of dollars, refugees returning to their hometowns, and foreigners like them.
Two tall and lanky guards maintained order in front of the city gates, and let everyone line up in two columns to check and pass in turn. Seeing that there were too many people entering the city, and the efficiency of searching them one by one was too slow, a fat doorman on the city wall couldn't sit still, so he came to the city gate and scolded the two doormen.
So the inspection was much easier, the people were able to pass quickly, and soon it was their turn.
"Master Jun, I want to ask you something. After they passed safely, Mu Yunxi came to the fat doorman who was full of alcohol.
"I'm still busy. ”
"Not long after the four of us first came to your country, we found that the scene of the royal capital today was more lively than in our previous impressions, and we dare to ask if anything major has happened in your country in the past few days?" Mu Yunxi personally lit a cigarette he handed to the doorman.
Namen Hou took a deep breath and smiled with satisfaction: "You don't know? We have won the Battle of the Mountain, and the area of the Mountain, which has been occupied by the Lobelon Empire for thirty years, has finally returned to our hands, and the motherland has regained the lost territory and regained the outlet to the sea of the Garo Sea, isn't this a thing worthy of celebration on the National Day?"
After listening to Menhou's answer, Mu Yunxi's whole face suddenly became gloomy, Liu Yuhan couldn't help but shake his shoulder, and continued to ask if what he was thinking had anything to do with these people.
The Loberen Empire was actually defeated, and the military power, which had achieved a certain advantage in the early days of the Second Civil War, would be defeated by such an inconspicuous small country, and he could not understand what the reason was, this time the motherland was disgraced and disgraced in the international community, and the disaster was not only that this war also caused a lot of losses to the country's maritime interests.
Looking at the procession passing by with singing and dancing, a sour feeling surged into Mu Yunxi's heart, and he sighed: "Everyone is from Belen, I don't understand what is worth celebrating about this kind of cannibalism between the same clans?"
"As the saying goes, if you are warlike, you will die, and this is still the case with countries, let alone people. ”
With a loud bang, brilliant golden flowers bloom in the dark night sky, and the petals composed of fireworks are like stars falling from red dust, shrouding thousands of households, and people come out from all directions to enjoy this magnificent landscape together.
The fireworks, one, two, three exploded, scattered, the beautiful sea of flowers fascinated their eyes, and for a while they forgot to give priority to finding an inn to settle in, Mu Yunxi was still immersed in the context of the conversation with Liu Yuhan just now, and couldn't hear Jiang Feifei's question at all.
She is right, if everyone can curb their desires, there will not be so much hatred and sorrow, and the happy scene of the people living and working in peace and contentment will not become a fleeting thing.
"I asked if you wanted to enter the inn in front?" Jiang Jianfei shouted at Mu Yunxi in a voice that drowned out the crowd around him.
"What are you doing!" Mu Yunxi was startled, gently rubbed his ears with his hand, and looked in the direction of Jiang Feifei's finger.
Bright fireworks dot the green tiles and red walls in front of you, there is a plaque standing on the main entrance, the four words "Jingtong Inn" are written on it, the pavilion has a total of three floors, the four corners of the eaves are slightly raised, and the sight is blocked when watching the scenery, the so-called "Jingtong" is to find the same meaning of the beautiful scenery in the world, here is very close to the palace, it is the best place to enjoy the fireworks show and the victory celebration parade.
Therefore, the business of the inn is excellent tonight, all the tables are full of guests, so that the cook and the shopkeepers are very busy, basically a table of guests has just paid and is ready to leave, and the leftovers on the table have not been cleaned up, and a group of guests lined up outside walked in.
In order to maintain order on the spot, the shopkeeper had to let the customers line up to sit in a row, and only when the number was called could they be allowed to enter the store.
In this way, they waited in line for about ten minutes before they saw the shopkeeper with a wrinkled face and half a lens.
"How many guests, do you want to stay in a hotel or do you want to eat?" asked the shopkeeper, holding an abacus in his hand without raising his head.
"Stay! Four upper rooms. Mu Yunxi put his hand on the edge of the counter.
"I'm sorry! ”
"There is a shortage of housing tonight, and Mr. Xian will live in a room with Brother Jiang. Mu Yunxi glanced at the price list posted on the wall, and found that the standard rooms here were all twin beds, and thought for a while, "Then there are two middle rooms, what do you think......?"
Before the words fell, Mu Yunxi's abdomen hit Liu Yuhan by an elbow, and seeing that the other party had an expression of wanting to tear him apart, he hurriedly smiled and said that he was joking just now.
"The middle room is full of people, and there are no spare places. ”
"That'...... Then let's go down to the room, although it is a little noisy, but only stay for one night, and it will pass with patience. Mu Yunxi gritted his teeth while holding his aching stomach.
"I'm sorry, officer. The shopkeeper finally put down the work at hand, helped the lenses, and said seriously, "Actually, you also know that today is the victory celebration day of our country, and it is normal to be overcrowded." ”
"Hey, don't be embarrassed!"
Mu Yunxi shouted angrily, slapped his palm on the counter, causing all the guests to focus their eyes on him, couldn't help coughing, smiled at everyone slightly embarrassed, turned his head and pulled the shopkeeper's shoulder, lowered his voice, and pointed to the corridor leading to the upper room on the third floor.
"Honestly, you can't be lying to me, you see that it's so quiet up there, how do you look like there are tenants? Why don't you want to let us live in them when you don't have them? I can pay twice as much as the person who rented these houses. ”
Seeing that the shopkeeper was unmoved, Mu Yunxi stretched out two more fingers.
In order to send him away earlier, the shopkeeper sighed: "Alas! To tell you the truth, there are four upper rooms in this store, all of which were chartered by one person, but I can't reveal the name of the person, which involves the privacy of the guests, these houses originally lived in four people, but something bad happened yesterday, one person left, and the other person was taken away by the court because of the crime, just because the person who chartered the house and I had a word first, no matter how long his friend lived here, I had to agree, but the reputation of the inn was affected, so I had to keep the two people living in the store. ”
"Forget it, let's find another place to stay tonight. Jiang Zhifei said and rubbed Mu Yunxi's hair and thanked the shopkeeper.
The four of them crossed the threshold in turn, and when they were discussing where to go next, the window on the third floor of the inn was slowly pushed open with a "creak", and a scarred hand was placed on the edge of the window sill, and the fireworks shone on the side face of the person, which was a face that Mu Yunxi had missed for a long time.
In the next second, Mu Yunxi rushed back to the inn desperately, tore open the shopkeeper who was blocking him, rushed up to the third floor quickly, and pushed open the door facing the direction of the palace with a "pop".
"Fang ......"
His lips trembled slightly in the face of the silver hair fluttering in the wind, and the frightened eyes, and swallowed back what he had just wanted to say.
The smile under the four eyes reminded him of his childhood memories, but Yuna was not Shen Fangli, he had to be sober about this, otherwise he would not be able to communicate with the other party normally.
"Yuna, we've finally found you. ”
