Chapter 218: Bright Moon Ruoxuan's Heavy Gift
When he received the news that Wuji Palace had been seriously damaged, Zhou Shen was stunned for a few minutes, and his face slowly turned as white as a dead man's face, without a trace of blood. However, Zuihou, he still knocked on the door of Lin Bin's suite.
Unexpectedly, when Lin Bin listened to his report, he did not get angry as usual, but leaned on the soft sofa and slowly closed his eyes.
At this moment, Zhou Shen didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere. The darkening face not far in front of him told him that it was just a moment of unusual stillness before the storm.
"Spread my will, the whole army immediately end the rest and recuperate, pull out the camp and set off!" For a long time, Lin Bin used a voice that seemed to come from the Nine Hells to coldly instruct Zhou Shen.
"Obey Bixia!" There was no expected roaring and scolding, which made Zhou Shen slightly surprised.
"What? Anything else? A pair of sharp eagle eyes that flickered with cold light slowly opened, the sword eyebrows frowned, and asked in a cold voice.
"Bixia, where is your destination?" Zhou Shen's heart jumped, and he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the pair of eyes that could almost kill.
"St. Prory!" Although he had vaguely guessed these four words, when he said them from Lin Bin's mouth, Zhou Shen still sighed helplessly.
"Yes, Bixia!" Holding back the words that almost popped out of his throat, he stood up and saluted, and hurried out of the suite.
......When the door was closed, the sound of a broken artifact still faintly came out of the crack in the door, and he was slightly stunned when he heard it, and then shook his head helplessly and sighed, but he did not hesitate at all, and left the place as if he were fleeing in three steps and two steps.
The place where they are now located is the former capital of the Second War Zone, Singegillujah. This once prosperous planet has been devastated after a devastating war.
With the great tactical advantage of the planetary fortress, the Sunflame Imperial Army easily routed the main force of the Restoration Alliance and launched a deterrent all-out attack on Gejilujah in the face of a stalemate in negotiations. Almost all of the Reclaimed Alliance bases on the planet Gagilua were reduced to ruins in an instant. Subsequently, the leaders of the Second Theater of Operations left aside the Fourth Theater and announced their surrender to the Imperial Army of the Sun Flame alone. The two star districts of Morita and New Frank, which belonged to the second war zone, officially became the territory of the Riyan Empire.
However, despite the destruction of the main force, the remnants of the Fourth Theater of Operations, under the leadership of the hardliners, stubbornly fought with the Imperial Army, waging an all-out guerrilla war with the Imperial Army on every planet, so that a considerable part of the main force of the Imperial Army was firmly pinned.
Before receiving the news that Wuji Palace had been wantonly destroyed by "unidentified" militants, the generals of the Imperial Army under Lin Bin were originally concentrating their main forces to launch an unprecedented raid on the capital of the Fourth Theater. The main force of the campaign is naturally the main fleet of the Imperial Army, with the Planetary Fortress as the flagship.
However, it now seems that the planned raid operation is about to run aground again......
"Hao was able to return calmly this time, all thanks to Queen Bixia's selfless help!" Lobito Holy Spirit Castle, in a somewhat dim side hall, Mingyue Ruoxuan set up a sumptuous banquet to entertain Haoyi who returned from Eder alone.
"Uncle Hao is outside! Mingyue is just doing her best at the right time! Come, Mingyue proposes, cheers for Aunt Hao's smooth triumphant return! A pair of lotus root-like jade arms held the delicate copper wine cup in front of him, and a smile appeared in his bright eyes. However, even if she raised her glass and drank heavily, Mingyue Ruoxuan still didn't lift the dark red scarf on her face.
"Thank you, Queen Bixia!" Haoyi sighed slightly, and drank it all.
"It seems that Aunt Hao is really a noble person!" Mingyue Ruoxuan sighed softly when she heard this.
"Oh? I don't know what Queen Bixia called ......" Hao Yi was slightly stunned, slightly surprised, and then smiled when his heart moved: "Hao remembered it!" Please rest assured that Queen Bixia will never break her promise before you and me! ”
"Do you still call me Queen Bixia?" A hint of grief flashed in Mingyue Ruoxuan's bright eyes, and she sighed faintly: "Didn't Mingyue say it, if there were no outsiders, Aunt Hao could be commensurate with Mingyue, or even call me Ruoxuan, it's not impossible!" ”
"Uh, this ......" Haoyi is no longer a hairy boy who has just fallen in love, and naturally he can vaguely taste the faint ambiguous taste of Mingyue Ruoxuan's words, and he was a little speechless for a while.
"That's it! Mingyue is not demanding of Aunt Hao anymore! Come, another toast, may you and I... The friendship between the two countries will last forever! Mingyue Ruoxuan smiled and raised the wine cup in front of her again.
"Good! For the hundreds of millions of people in the two countries, do it! Haoyi simply shook off some chaotic thoughts in his mind, and then raised the wine cup, and fell into it with his neck raised with a bow.
"Look, Mingyue only cares about talking and drinking with Uncle Hao, and she doesn't introduce our unique cuisine to Uncle Hao!" The jade arm was lightly raised, and the wine cup for Hao Yi and his own wine cup was filled with red wine again, Mingyue Ruoxuan pointed to the rich wine and food on the original stone table, and introduced it with a smile: "Aunt Hao, please see, this dish is our Ricktown people's favorite wine delicacle, called Jade Longteng!" ”
"Jade Dragon Teng? What a domineering and elegant dish name! Haoyi looked down at the dish that was placed in the center, and then realized that the style of this dish was a little unique. The purple-blue rhizomes, which are like vine silk and have a mixture of tender green and dark red, are coiled and entangled, and at first glance, they really look like flying dragons lying on jade plates and wanting to leap into the sky.
"Aunt Hao is so eloquent! The name of this delicacy was given by our ancestors! Mingyue Ruoxuan nodded with a smile, and her jade finger tapped the jade dragon teng, and then talked about its origin: "When our ancestors first came to Ricktown, although there were lush greenery and lush plants everywhere, most of the plants were alien plants that had never been seen before. As the food they carry is about to run out, in order to survive, many people have begun to boldly try many seemingly edible plants on this planet. It's a pity that many of those plants that look bright and harmless are highly toxic! Many of our ancestors died with hatred because of this......"
"Shennong tastes a hundred herbs! Zhuangzai, magnificent......" Mingyue Ruoxuan faintly infected Haoyi with a sad tone, making him sigh involuntarily.
"However, there are still many edible plants that have been discovered by our ancestors one after another, so that our people have stubbornly taken root in this land!" Mingyue Ruoxuan smiled suddenly, swept away the trace of sadness in her eyes, and continued to explain with a smile in her eyes: "This Jade Dragon Teng is an extremely valuable edible plant discovered by the ancestors!" As the name suggests, Jade Dragon Teng is a vine plant that is generally only found on cliff faces. The short is three to five meters long, the long is tens of meters or even hundreds of meters long, climbing the cliff and winding up, the whole body is dark red or purple blue, without roots, but there are countless whiskers and stems deeply rooted in the hard stone cracks! It contains a rare substance in its body, and after eating, it can make people feel comfortable and refreshed, as if they have endless energy! We Ricktown people usually pick the buds that have just sprouted for a short time, process them in some special ways, and serve them on the table with a strong but somewhat crispy delicacies! ”
"Oh? How can this dish have such an effect? Hao Yi was curious when he heard this, raised the chopsticks hairpin and took a bite of the jade dragon Teng in front of him, put it in his mouth, squinted his eyes and chewed it carefully, and sure enough, as Mingyue said, the entrance was strong and a little crispy, and the end was delicious and delicious. After swallowing it, a trace of faintly hot breath suddenly rose from the dantian, and instantly immersed in the hundred remains, which was actually a burst of comfort, causing Hao Yi to open his mouth and exclaim: "It's really delicious!" Good food, good food! ”
"How? Mingyue didn't deceive Aunt Hao, right? Mingyue Ruoxuan smiled, but she didn't mean to raise a hairpin to enjoy it.
"Hmmm! This dish is indeed a rare dish! Haoyi nodded and agreed.
"Although this dish is delicious, it is difficult for ordinary people to enjoy it!" Mingyue Ruoxuan sighed unexpectedly.
"Oh? Why? Haoyi asked in surprise.
"As Ming Yue introduced before, Jade Dragon Teng only grows on cliffs, and it must be the kind of cliffs that are towering into the clouds and have an abyss below! Because of this, this dish is so difficult to pick that it sells for gold jewellery in the market! Mingyue Ruoxuan stared at the jade dragon in front of her and sighed faintly.
"Yes! This is like a thousand-year-old ginseng and 10,000-year-old deer antler velvet, which is doubly precious because of its rarity! Hao Yi nodded suddenly.
"However, Mingyue has another emotion when she sees this dish!" Bright Moon Ruoxuan's bright eyes inadvertently flashed a trace of complexity.
"I want to hear about it!" Haoyi's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked respectfully.
"Mingyue said that this jade dragon has no roots, it is like floating on a cliff out of thin air! There is no root, but it is difficult to give people a sense of security! This reminded Mingyue of my clan. My Mingyue royal family was here in Ricktown back then, but it was a bit like this jade dragon Teng, rootless, empty of thousands of whiskers and stems rooted in this barren land, and finally survived tenaciously! Mingyue Ruoxuan's faint eyes brought out a few traces of sorrow, and it was actually seen that Haoyi's originally rock-solid heart also rippled.
"Ladies please...... Mingyue rest assured, Hao swears here, and will do his best to help the nobles find your star spirit ancestors! With a move in his heart, Haoyi put down the chopsticks and hairpins and wine cup, and said aloud. He originally subconsciously wanted to call Mingyue "Queen Bixia" again, but when it came to his mouth, he hurriedly changed to a title that made him a little awkward and a little ambiguous.
"In this way, Mingyue is up and down for my clan, thank you Aunt Hao!" When Mingyue heard this, she got up and left the table, and according to an ancient etiquette, she bowed to Haoyi, and thanked her solemnly and softly.
"Hurry up, please! Such a big gift, how can Hao afford it! Although Hao Yi had never seen this kind of etiquette, he inferred from himself that Mingyue must be making a big gift to himself, so he hurriedly got up and left the table, raised his hand and said in fear: "This was originally a matter that has been agreed between you and me, and Hao Yi is purely improvised!" Hurry up, Mingyue! ”
"Even so, Mingyue should still solemnly thank you!" Probably hearing that Haoyi finally called himself "Mingyue", or for other reasons, Mingyue Ruoxuan's bright eyes flashed with a hint of joy, and then said seriously: "That's right! Mingyue also has a heavy gift, which she wants to give to Aunt Hao! ”
"Oh? This...... Hao has not yet made an inch, and he already owes Mingyue a big favor from you, how dare you ......" Hao Yi waved his hand again and again in surprise, trying to refuse Mingyue Ruoxuan's kindness. However, Mingyue Ruoxuan's next sentence made his heart pound again.
"What does Uncle Hao think of my clan's elite berserker corps?"
