(Thanks to the Candle Breaking the Darkness Gu Yue for his reward and support)

In the face of a war with little chance of victory, whether it is to directly raise the white flag and surrender and save the people to the greatest extent, or to fight to the end and show the backbone of a man, I will not comment here. What is certain, however, is that no matter who is in power, he will certainly give the lowest evaluation to "surrender before fighting" to eradicate unhealthy tendencies and prevent his own army from following the same example one day.

In the process of Qin's annihilation of the Six Kingdoms, it was the Qi State that was nailed to the pillar of shame in history, 400,000 Qi troops pounced, and the Qin army attacked the capital, and the King of Qi surrendered out of the city.

Songhai City, which was originally a territory of Qi State, was not devastated by the war, although it was not as good as Xianyang City, which absorbed the fat and ointment of the people of the world, but it was also one of the few prosperous cities in the Central Plains in this era...... Of course, this place cannot escape the poison of being poisoned by the overly harsh decrees of the Ying government, and it is by no means a place to live and work in peace.

"No wonder the uncle who pointed the way just now spoke strangely, it turns out that the problem is here." Lyle and Yu came to the door of the inn with the most delicious dishes in the local population, and when they looked up, the plaque read "There is an inn".

However, except for the chic name, there is nothing special about it, it is not the largest inn in the city, there is no particularly luxurious decoration, there are no customers, it looks like an ordinary inn.

As soon as he walked into the inn, a shopkeeper who was standing in the corner in a daze greeted him in a tone without ups and downs: "...... Welcome. ”

"It's a big city, and the service attitude towards guests is really special." Lyle said speechlessly.

Probably hearing the voice, a fat uncle with a big belly walked out of the back kitchen, and when he saw the expressions on the faces of Lyle and Yu Qi, he began to talk skillfully: "I'm sorry, two guest officers, this is a newcomer who just arrived, please forgive me if you are offended." ”

He is a street man from Songhai City of the Mo family, and this shopkeeper is suspicious, so he decided to keep it under his nose to observe, so he connived at his many customer drives, otherwise he would have driven this goods out a hundred years earlier.

"As long as you make mistakes, you are new and temporary workers, I know I understand." Lyle grinned, naturally he wouldn't be angry about this kind of thing, and his eyes fell on the fat uncle's belly that was comparable to being ten months pregnant, "This is the shopkeeper Ding, right?" I see...... Indeed, he is like the best chef in Songhai City. ”

Although it is rude to the world's cooks based on body size, the stereotype is not so easy to change.

Shopkeeper Ding patted his stomach, shook the fat layer a few times, and laughed: "That's everyone's appreciation, cooking skills are more difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat than civil and military competitions, people's tastes are different, I just try my best to cook the most delicious dishes I think." ”

"Oh~I'll give full marks for this humble answer~!" After these words, Lyle felt that the shopkeeper Ding had become a little more handsome.

After laughing twice, Shopkeeper Ding asked quietly: "Speaking of which, do the two guest officers want to eat or stay?" ”

Silence = defensiveness

Why are you wary of door-to-door customers? One reason is the red lines on Yu Qi's face, and the other reason is the Hanguang that Lyle hangs behind his waist, although Hanguang is not unsheathed, but the uniquely shaped hilt still clearly conveys the momentum of his extraordinary product.

Lyle, who was unaware of this, raised two fingers and said with a smile: "The two upper rooms will probably live for a while, because we may not come back on time, we don't need to prepare food in advance, but I hope that Shopkeeper Ding can put more effort into it, and it is best to have a little new trick every time...... Price is not an issue. ”

After that, put down a small piece of gold cake on the counter next to it, and the shot under scientific alchemy is generous.

"Shi Lan, send two distinguished guests to the second floor!" Shopkeeper Ding was lost under the money offensive, and it also cost money for the Mo family to develop and grow.

Well, it's not entirely a loss of money, and after hearing what Lyle said just now, he can at least confirm one thing - Lyle is really here for his craft. Such guests were not uncommon in the past, and the Confucian scholars of the Little Sage Village were typical examples, so there was no need to be overly sensitive.

"Don't rush yet." Lyle waved his hand and asked, "Shopkeeper Ding, we saw several groups of patrolling guards on the road just now, has anything happened in Songhai City recently?" ”

Shopkeeper Ding was a little more relieved when he heard this, and explained with a smile to the traveler who didn't know about the hot current affairs: "Don't the two guest officers know yet? The great ship built by Great Qin in search of the elixir of life had been completed, and every day there were boys and girls from all over the country and countless supplies brought onto the ship, and the Great Qin guards were naturally worried that something would go wrong at the last moment. ”

"What a human emperor who separates hundreds of people's wives for his own selfishness!" Yu Qi said angrily.

"This ......!" Shopkeeper Ding agreed in his heart, and on the surface, he could only look left and right in fear, "The guest officer is quiet, if it is heard, it will be in big trouble." ”

Lyle was very open to this, and persuaded: "What are you excited about, isn't it just to do this kind of thing when you go to great lengths to be the emperor?" Besides, the one you are waiting for is no better. ”

"Humph!" Yu period brushed away.

Lyle didn't keep it, whether he came back after getting angry, or thought that the Tao was different and didn't conspire with each other, he didn't care, it wasn't the relationship that had to act in a group, and continued to ask the shopkeeper Ding for information: "In addition to that big ship, have there been any other strange things happening recently...... For example, strange things falling from the sky......"

"You mean something like the 'Stone of Confusion'?" Shopkeeper Ding shook his hand and said with a smile, "If that kind of thing falls every day, how can we ordinary people live, and we will be stoned to death when we walk on the street, hahaha~"

In fact, the ten ancient artifacts were also smashed down with meteor-like redness and heat, but the volume was far from the Outer Heaven Stone known as the 'Firefly Stone', and ordinary people couldn't notice it at all.

“…… yes. Lyle could only stop trying to find the ancient artifact with the sighting information of mortals, and said, "So is there any rumor of a youkai somewhere?" It's best to be related to fox spirits~"

Shopkeeper Ding said suspiciously: "Yes, yes...... But what do you want to do when you ask about this kind of thing, this guest officer? ”

"The vixen must be more beautiful than a mortal woman, and she has been recruited as a maid~" Lyle said proudly.

"............" Shopkeeper Ding suddenly felt that this guy had a short life.

Well, squeeze his coil out before he gets killed by the youkai, so he can only go back to his hometown and get married.

"Nangong, greetings from Jiushu, how are you doing?"

“…… (nodding and saluting) ......"

Among the five elders of the Yin and Yang family, the big and young masters rarely took over in person.

"Oh~ It's you two little girls, you're beautiful again~" The old man who trembled and got out of the carriage under the support of the great secretary was Chu Nangong, a wanderer from the Yin and Yang family who was known as the 'First Sage of Chu State' in the past, and belonged to the elders who ascended to the heights.

Nangong laughed. The great priest answered, and quickly got straight to the point, "Why did Nangong come to Songhai alone, a place where the wind and clouds gather?" ”

"Ho ho ~ don't care about the old man, the old man is just an old guy who is dying, even if he wants to stir up the storm, he has no strength." Chu Nangong stroked his beard and said, "The old man is here to find someone...... If you don't have any other work in your hands, you can come and help the old man~"

The big boss and the young boss looked at each other, and could only ask, "Who is this ......?" ”

"A character who can make our Eastern Emperor have to change his name, ho ho~"

“！？”

Chu Nangong holds the "Huangshi Book of Heaven", which is actually a military book given to Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor by the Nine Heavens Xuannu, which records the incredible Heavenly Dao Truth.
