The bustling and lively Chongshan Lane is full of people, and the shops along the street are lined up in a row, shouting and selling one after another. The most crowded place on the street is the "Yaxiang Building" located in the center, this elegant restaurant highlights the status of the most prosperous street in the city.

On the second floor of the restaurant, there is a square table of eight immortals next to the mahogany railing, and a person wearing a dark gray cloak is sitting in front of the table.

The little two in the building kept busy greeting the guests, and did not forget to glance at the side of the railing a few times when cleaning up the leftover discs after the guests left.

A pot of wine, a cup, a stack of side dishes, and a spacious location facing the street, this is Qin Tao's way of passing the time of boredom.

When he didn't find a suitable way to make money, he still wanted to observe the people of Shanzhong City first, so that it would be convenient for him to understand the Purple Moon Empire.

"It is said that the Purple Moon Empire is influenced by the northern barbarians, and all of them are fierce and rude, but now it is just rumors of some enemy countries. Qin Tao took a sip of wine and thought while secretly exhaling the spicy.

It was past noon, and the crowd of people for meals dispersed one after another, and the noisy second floor gradually became deserted. Xiao Er grabbed the white cloth and wiped the greasy table with vigor, sometimes glancing at the cloaked drinker and shaking his head.

At this time, the staircase leading to the second floor suddenly sounded a slight sound of footsteps, and then I saw a young man slowly walking up.

Seeing that a new guest arrived, Xiao Er hurriedly put down his hands, shook the white cloth on his shoulder, and greeted enthusiastically with a smile on his face: "Please be a guest officer!"

The young man went up to the second floor, glanced around slightly, pointed to the table where Qin Tao was sitting and said, "That's it." The voice was faint but penetrating, causing the dark shadow under the hood to deflect for a moment.

"This ......" Xiao Er looked at Qin Tao, who had been sitting for a long time, frowned slightly, and was a little embarrassed.

But the boy smiled indifferently, gently patted Xiao Er's shrugged shoulder, and walked straight to the table where Qin Tao was.

His eyebrows were raised slightly, and through the gap left by the brim of his hat, Qin Tao looked at the son who was walking towards him.

Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, face like a crown of jade, dressed in a light brown robe, the front placket side by side is smooth and unpretentious, and a round jade pendant flashes from the waist under the drive of footsteps.

Vaguely, Qin Tao found that every step of this young man's fall would set off a wave of water ripples on the floor, and there seemed to be a sense of turbulence behind him, as if he was riding the wind and waves.

Frowning slightly, Qin Tao's fingers holding the wine glass couldn't help but add some strength, and a little spark had already erupted from the palm hidden under the cloak.

Unleashing his breath so unrestrainedly, is it to test Qin Tao's strength or to give Qin Tao a dismount.

When he reached the table, the young man looked at the low-hanging hood and smiled faintly, pointed to the chair opposite Qin Tao very elegantly, and asked, "This brother, would you like to have a drink with you?"

As he spoke, the young man's breath had been slightly restrained, and Qin Tao immediately let go of the wine glass and spread his palm, and said indifferently: "Please!"

The corners of Childe's mouth curled, and he raised the back hem of his coat and sat down in a dashing manner. And Qin Tao didn't care about him, his hood was slightly off, and he continued to watch the flow of people below.

Gently put a thick piece of gold coin, and the young man said loudly: "Xiao Er, bring your best wine, I want to drink it with my brother!"

Xiao Er, who was still a little stunned at first, saw the golden coin on the table, and immediately ran over with a smile. Bent down and wiped the gold coin in his palm, the heavy weight was enough to prove the value of the gold coin, so Xiao Er hurriedly said that it was a smoke and ran downstairs.

The boy used a large gold coin, which was basically equivalent to a hundred ordinary gold coins. The Living Continent circulates in gold coins, but the amount of gold coins needed for some precious items is too large, so people invented this kind of gold coins to increase the weight and face value, which is easy to carry and circulate.

Looking at the black shadow under the hood, the young man looked calm and asked, "Brother Tai is waiting for someone?"

"It's not. The voice under the hood was still cold.

"That brother just likes to watch people. ”

The hood was deflected and corrected, and Qin Tao replied casually: "There is nothing to look at people." ”

At this time, the second child of the running hall ran up with a jar of wine and two porcelain cups. Putting down the wine jar and wine glass, Xiao Er smiled and said respectfully: "Guest officer, this is the best wine in our store, 20 years of Xinghua Village, please use it slowly." With that, he smiled and stepped back, and soon left the second floor.

The young man sighed and shook his head: "The huge restaurant is only a twenty-year-old Xinghua Village, and the mountain city is really a small land." As he spoke, he filled the porcelain cup in front of him.

Qin Tao didn't speak, just listened quietly, he had to be vigilant at all times without confirming whether the person who came was friend or foe.

The young man put down the wine jar, picked up the wine glass and saluted Qin Tao loudly: "Brother Tai, in Xia Xiao Yi, there is nothing to do when you swim alone, if there is anything to disturb, you can still look at Brother Tai Haihan!"

Looking at Xiao Yi's bold attitude and unpretentious behavior, Qin Tao's vigilance was slightly lowered.

"Good wine!" praised alone, Xiao Yi picked up the wine jar and poured the glass again.

"Brother Tai good wine?" a cold voice floated out of the cloak.

Xiao Yi smiled loudly, shook the hair hanging down in front of his forehead, and said, "Not bad." Brother Tai doesn't know, there are three things in Xia Ping's life, one of which is this tasting wine. ”

Without waiting for Qin Tao to speak, Xiao Yi continued: "Just like this altar of apricot blossom village, the entrance is soft, the mouth is sweet, and there is an aftertaste after drinking, it is definitely an endless aftertaste!"

While speaking, Xiao Yi's expression was flying, his breath was heroic, and his conversation was more like an old man who had been in the wine world for a long time.

Qin Tao listened to Xiao Yi's appreciation, stared at the wine cup in front of him, couldn't help frowning, and thought in his heart: "This thing is really as delicious as he said?"

Picking up an empty wine glass and filling it, Xiao Yi put it in front of Qin Tao with both hands, and asked with a virtual hand: "Brother Tai, please taste it!"

Looking at Xiao Yi's resolute and undisguised gaze, Qin Tao shook his hood slightly and gently picked up the wine glass.

The wine glass was full of aroma, and a touch of mellow fragrance flew out of the clear water, which made Qin Tao happy. Following Xiao Yi's example, he drank it, and the spicy and chilling sensation slid down the tip of his tongue into his body, and a warmth suddenly rose in his chest.

Smacking his lips slightly, Qin Tao suddenly felt that his mouth and tongue were fragrant, and a mellow sweetness did not dissipate for a long time, although his face was red, his heart was infinitely comfortable.

"Ah, good wine!" Qin Tao praised with enjoyment.

Xiao Yi laughed loudly when he heard this, raised his neck and took another glass, and said to Qin Tao at the same time: "It seems that Brother Tai is also a person with a good surname for wine, but today it happened to inspire Xiao, haha!"

It seems that the wine evokes the wild surname of the kind of man sealed in his heart, Qin Tao feels that the altar of apricot blossoms on the table is many times better than the dregs in the wine pot.

Until now, he finally understood why Grandpa Lu Lin drank every day, and wine can really stimulate a man's pride and make people feel a sense of warmth and happiness.

Holding the mouth of the altar, Qin Tao poured a full wine glass without hesitation, and saluted Xiao Yi: "Please!"

"Haha! Okay! Come on, do it!" Xiao Yi smiled heartily, and liked Qin Tao's straightforwardness very much.

After drinking cup by cup, Qin Tao's face was already as red as an apple, and although his mind was sober, he was still a little confused, but his joy for the wine did not diminish at all.

"Brother, I don't know your Excellency's name after drinking this half jar of wine. Xiao Yi asked casually.

"Lu Tao. Qin Tao replied and drank another glass.

"Okay, Brother Lu, it is a fate for you and I to meet here today, Xiao respects you!"

"Please!"

Qin Tao, who has always been thinking about revenge, has never had the joy he has today, and Xiao Yi's boldness made him feel a kind of brotherly affection. Unconsciously, the wine brought out a side of his heart that he had never touched.

After drinking another glass of wine, Xiao Yi suddenly conjured a vermilion gourd from his waist, put it on the table and introduced it to Qin Tao mysteriously: "Brother Lu, let me show you a strange thing. ”

Qin Tao raised his eyebrows, looked at the vermilion gourd and asked, "Oh, what's so strange?"

Xiao Yi smiled loudly, patted the gourd with his palm, and then pretended to lift the lid of the gourd as if mysteriously, and poured the remaining half of the apricot blossom village into it. He shook it lightly twice, put it in his ear and quietly listened to it twice, and then poured the jade liquid elixir into Qin Tao's wine glass.

"Brother Lu, come, taste!" Xiao Yi said and poured himself a full cup at the same time.

Qin Tao, who was in some clouds, picked up the wine glass and smelled it first, except for the mellow aroma, there was nothing special about it. Looking at the color of the wine again, there is no special feeling, and the secret is strange in the wine after hesitation, so he raises the wine glass and drinks it all.

The elixir melts in your mouth, creating a comforting warmth on the tip of your mouth. Descending down the throat, the spicy burning heat in the chest cavity dissipates instantly, replaced by a refreshing feeling that is hard to let go.

Licking his lips, Qin Tao suddenly found that his body was inexplicably warm, different from the temperature produced by the spicy, this warmth could resist the slight cold of autumn.

"It's really strange!" Qin Tao put down his wine glass and smacked his lips in admiration.

Xiao Yi was immediately overjoyed, filled the wine glass with the gourd, and said: "Brother Lu, my gourd is called 'Immortal Gourd', and the biggest feature is that it changes the temperature of the wine, so that the drinker can experience refreshment in the hot summer and taste warmth in the cold winter." ”

"Oh, there are such magical monsters!"

"Haha! Of course, Brother Lu, you don't know, Xiao likes to travel to the mainland, and having this fairy gourd in his hand adds a lot of happiness. ”

Qin Tao smiled and said nothing, and unconsciously he envied Xiao Yi's boldness and ease, and the unrestrained feeling of swimming freely.

"If one day, I must also go on a big trip......"
