Chapter 465: The Rehearsal of the Soul
"Le Mingjia, this matter will be handled by me and the high-ranking personnel of the Human Guild, if there is nothing else, I will prepare some food, and when you are full of wine and food, you will go to Zhang Ping's camp to take office." Xia Yanfeng thought for a long time before he came back to his senses, and the wine in the cup was shaken by him as he thought about it.
"Master William is so polite that the meal doesn't have to be prepared. Le Mingjia drank all the wine in the cup with a smile, and then asked with interest, "By the way, this wine tastes quite unique, where is this wine?"
Le Mingjia obviously soothed his nerves, so he thought about something inconsequential and relatively light. And Xia Yanfeng had already guessed that Le Mingjia would ask this question, this kind of taste is like black tea, but the color of the wine is extremely blue and white, and the alcohol concentration is even higher than the unique flavor of the strange wine, even if it is placed in the human world, anyone will be surprised for a while, originally Le Mingjia should have felt strange when he took the first sip, but at that time he was too focused on telling about Lordan City, and forgot to taste it.
"Xia Mou is not talented, this is a wine made by myself, and there is no name. Xia Yanfeng laughed, "Well, in addition to cultivating magic, in my spare time, I can only mix bartenders to pass the time, and this kind of wine, I will collectively call them 'cocktails'." ”
"Cocktail?" Le Mingjia really felt that "the world is so big, there are no surprises", and his head was completely insufficient.
"If you want to open your eyes, come with me. Xia Yanfeng stood up as he spoke, and beckoned Le Mingjia to follow him.
In this way, Xia Yanfeng led Le Mingjia out of the study, and after walking a short distance along the corridor, he came to a small room with beautiful decoration. Pushing the door in, you will be greeted by a long row of long tables, the table on the left is piled with all kinds of wine bottles and flasks, as well as some vegetables and fruits, herbs, meat, and ice cubes, and the floor is also full of wine barrels, and these furnishings seem to be disorganized, but in fact, the room still looks unusually clean and tidy, and there is no excess dust or stains.
Just to the right of the long table, there are nearly 100 transparent glasses of different shapes, carrying all kinds of liquor, which are colorful in green, blue, black, yellow, red, and even rainbow. These dazzling cocktails are all made by Xia Yanfeng himself, but in fact, Xia Yanfeng is only in the stage of exploration and experimentation, these are basically mixed by him, and there are few finished products. Because the Heavenly Continent is different from the human world, he still needs to study the elements contained in various ingredients.
"Lord William...... You can really open the eyes of the little student......" Le Mingjia's eyes widened, looking at the group of wines, such a shocking and beautiful cocktail, like a work of art on display, which was eye-opening.
Although the ingredients are different and cannot 100% replicate the cocktail varieties in the human world, the taste of some cocktails is very similar to the human world, such as vodka, Bloody Mary, classical whiskey and other human drinks in a few glasses, Xia Yanfeng also has enough confidence to bring these wines back to the world to promote, because he only needs to be original, not copied. If one day there is no need to fight, if one day, this crazy dream wakes up and allows him to live in peace, then he is naturally willing to be a bartender, entertaining himself in the magical drinks, and by the way, bringing the drinkers a cheerful experience.
Living alone in the deserted prince's mansion, free from the disturbance of the hustle and bustle of the world, cooking and cooking alone, self-sufficient, although Xia Yanfeng doesn't care about cooking by himself, he will only occasionally take a few bread exams, but he is still groping and learning. Thinking of the solitary life after Narcissus left him, without the girl who cooked for him, he could only go in and out of restaurants or order takeout every day. However, if a dish is not made with care, then it is just a filling food.
To be honest, the dishes made by Narcissus are not necessarily delicious, but every time I taste it, Xia Yanfeng can experience the strong love and warmth that melts into the meal, which is the result of Narcissus's intentions, and now I am learning to cook and learn to mix, although it is inevitably troublesome, but the harvest I get is always sweet, because that is the most precious treasure in my hand, my heart.
Yes, relying on others to cook is as ridiculous as relying on others to cultivate and kill enemies for yourself, Xia Yanfeng failed to keep a daffodil, which also made him understand that only when he becomes strong and reaches the highest peak of the king is the most real, and he will never turn his back on his truth, just because he sees through the fickleness of the human heart. I don't know when he began to stop believing in everything around him, maybe it was the original narcissus that made him understand the need for desperation, right?
"Lord William?" Le Mingjia stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Xia Yanfeng's eyes, "What's wrong with you?"
Xia Yanfeng froze instantly, the feeling just now was too strange, he leaned against the door, staring at the cocktail group with both eyes, and was actually stunned. However, no matter how long the picture in the sea of spirits has passed, it is often only a moment in reality.
"Ah...... Distracted......" Xia Yanfeng shook his head, pinched his eyebrows, and forcibly forced himself to come to his senses.
"Lord William, Xiao Sheng wants to figure it out. Le Mingjia really had a bit of a questioning situation, "Why do these mixed drinks call them 'cocktails'?"
"Huh......" Xia Yanfeng let out a sigh of relief, turned around and walked out of the door, "This is an allusion, but it is an allusion to the world, and it has nothing to do with the Heavenly Continent, you know that kind of allusion is meaningless." ”
"Is that so......" Le Mingjia also followed, the disappointment in his eyes gradually maintained for an instant, and he bowed to Xia Yanfeng, "Since this is the case, Xiaosheng will leave." ”
After Xia Yanfeng saw Le Mingjia leave the mansion, he came to the door of the mansion and immediately beckoned the servants on both sides to come over. Several servants dressed in civilian clothes who couldn't tell that they were from the house at all, after seeing Xia Yanfeng's gesture, they gathered over one after another.
"My lord, what do you command?"
"Hurry up and get me the car! I'm going to see President Su soon!"
To see Sutrun, Xia Yanfeng only needs to go quietly alone, and he doesn't need to drive a carriage and guard of honor to escort him with great fanfare, but if he doesn't make a big noise and make the whole city known, he won't be able to achieve the expected effect.
Make a little pomp and bravado and play a trick, Xia Yanfeng's purpose is obvious, that is, to show the details lurking in the city. Engaging in a guard of honor is fishing with a line, Xia Yanfeng can confirm that matter alone even if he doesn't go directly to see Sutren, but he is confirming another thing.
Xia Yanfeng expected that Xizuo was not in the palace hall, but the eyes and ears of the streets and alleys were unable to guard against it, but he deliberately did this, but he was not prepared to rush to let Sutlon send troops to attack Lordan City from the beginning. Think about it from another angle, letting the demons mess around will be beneficial to his big plan, and the script written by the mastermind behind the scenes should have sent troops as soon as Su Trun learned about it, right? And Xia Yanfeng wants to change the script of the mastermind behind the scenes without authorization, he just wants to do the opposite!
After getting into the carriage, he beckoned the honor guard and the personal guards to escort him, brazenly hung up the banner of "William Xia", and deliberately passed along the downtown area. Xia Yanfeng is not only sure that he will get a satisfactory result, but also sure that the real show is just about to start!
"Captain...... Is there something wrong?" Facing Xia Yanfeng, who suddenly visited, Su Trun, who was eating in the West Palace, hurriedly got up to greet him.
Xia Yanfeng stood outside the door with a radiant look, and Su Tren suddenly felt heroic. Xia Yanfeng won't visit without incident, but seeing that he is full of face and carefree, it must not be a bad thing to repay, right?
"Brother Su, it's polite. Xia Yanfeng also pretended to bow to Sutron, and when he approached Sutron, his eyes turned and fluttered, "Actually...... It's nothing else, it's just that there is a reluctant invitation......"
"It's okay for the captain to be outspoken. Sutlon said lightly, and beckoned Xia Yanfeng to sit down and drink two glasses.
"Brother Su doesn't need to invite me to drink, I just had a few drinks at the house. Xia Yanfeng said, "I only ask Brother Su to allow me to go back to Glora City." In view of the fact that the establishment of the branch of the 'Thunder City' requires me to personally coordinate and promote some management talents, these matters can only be handled by myself. ”
"Hahahaha......" Sutron's laughter was full of pride, "It's a small thing, I thought there was something big." If the captain has any requests, just ask, but there's no need to go to great lengths to come to the palace to see me, right?"
"That's right......" Xia Yanfeng acted as expected, of course he wouldn't tell the truth about the major incident that happened in Lordan City and was going to endanger all mankind. By telling this story, mankind may suffer a little less disaster, but in this way, he will not have time to make his wishful thinking.
"The captain can not be constrained by those red tape in the guild, this little thing, there is no need to come and ask me for instructions, no one can restrict the captain's freedom, even if the captain gives orders on my behalf, it doesn't matter, the captain wants to do whatever he wants. From Sutren's words, it can be seen that he has great trust in Xia Yanfeng, and it is absolutely impossible to be suspicious of him, and he is 200% relieved that Xia Yanfeng wants to make decisions and exercise privileges.
Xia Yanfeng smiled inadvertently, that kind of laughter was hidden in the dark, bottomless, and his soul couldn't suppress his restlessness, as if he was rehearsing a plot similar to an earth-shattering conspiracy in his heart.
Su Trun's vigilance with outsiders never faded at all, but for trustworthy people, he basically didn't use those unnecessary suspicions, so he didn't notice Xia Yanfeng's subtle strange expression. And Xia Yanfeng quickly thanked him and retired, and to this day, Su Tren is still in the dark about the earth-shattering event that is related to the life and death of human beings.
Since Xia Yanfeng came here with great fanfare, it was impossible for him to inform Su Tren of that matter as some people expected, he just wanted to make those stupid demons who had carefully prepared for the battle unable to wait for their opponents in a short period of time. And Xia Yanfeng's purpose is not limited to this, he wants to take a certain opportunity to find out the inner ghosts in the guild by the way.
In fact, Xia Yanfeng has successfully pushed Su Trun, the "leader", to the forefront in the battle against the Yuan family, fortunately, Su Trun is still sober and has not been called the emperor like Yuan Chen, but with the temperament of a "traitorous male", he is still "domineering and shocking the Quartet", and in contrast, Xia Yanfeng is an unknown "underground person". The so-called people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and his purpose lies in this, that is, because of the low profile, it is more convenient to implement the plan, and in order to be comfortable in a broader development space.
I don't know when Xia Yanfeng's heart always felt abandoned by the whole world, and his soul had been insecure for a long time, and his sincere trust became a luxury that dried up his soul. He chose to give up, abandon the heart of those who are weak, raise his proud head against all things in the world, and fight bravely as a strong man.
Putting aside those troublesome things for the time being, Xia Yanfeng only took three or four entourages and went to the south city gate, passing by the stables, and by the way, let his subordinates bring a few batches of fast horses. Then he whispered something in the ear of a servant, who was immediately stunned.
"Your Excellency...... This kind of thing...... Why don't you go and tell General Zhang Ping in person......"
"No, I can't. Xia Yanfeng shook his head, "In this city, I was watched, and I couldn't help myself. You can help me go to Zhang Ping's camp to bring a message, I will give you the passage of the arrow, there is a sign rune of the thunder element on it, as long as Zhang Ping sees this, he will definitely believe it. ”
As he spoke, Xia Yanfeng shook out a small red-gold arrow from his sleeve, which was engraved with a circle of cyan magic patterns. He flipped his hand and handed the arrow to the frightened attendant, and then asked in passing, "What's your name?"
"Hao...... Koji ......"
"Koji is right? I remember your face, and you remember my words, right?"
"Hmmm......"
Xia Yanfeng smiled mysteriously: "Okay." Remember, the hidden point of the arrow is hidden, don't be seen on the road, it's best to make a few more rounds, pick a lot of people to walk, to avoid suspicion, and then follow you. What I said, you must tell the truth, this matter is very important, there must be no mistakes, if there is a slight difference, the guild affairs, even if I don't kill you, the president will also kill you. ”
"Got it...... The small ones must do ......"
