Chapter 21: Meeting an Old Friend in a Foreign Country
"Stop!"
As expected, according to convention, Qin Changsheng and the others were stopped by the defenders of the city gate.
"Why did you enter the city?" a black-armored man began to interrogate Qin Changsheng.
"This military master, we want to use the teleportation array. Qin Changsheng went straight to the point.
The black-armored man shook his head and said, "Now the teleportation array is controlled by our army, and this is the only fast connection channel between our army and the rear, and it is impossible to open it to the outside world." ”
Qin Changsheng was a little big-headed, but he still showed his identity as a citizen of Chaoyuan State, and signaled that he wanted to temporarily enter the city first to avoid the war.
Despite this, the man in black armor was still reluctant to let go.
In case he is a spy of the Liang State and boldly lets him in, it will be a big trouble.
"Brother Qin Xian?"
A figure approached from inside the city gate and patted the man in black armor on the shoulder, signaling that he didn't have to.
Qin Changsheng looked at it when he heard it.
Walking was a white-robed young man with a delicate face and an extraordinary temperament, and a jade pendant with the word "Qin" was particularly conspicuous, wearing it around his waist.
This person is the person who had a relationship with him in the Hundred Tribes Court, Qin Mo of Bai Ze County.
"Brother Xian, we meet again!"
"Brother, I'm glad to meet!" Qin Changsheng smiled and clasped his fists to salute, he didn't expect to see the old man here.
Qin Mo nodded with a smile and asked, "Didn't Brother Xian just finish participating in the Hundred Clans Imperial Meeting, why did he come here?"
Qin Changsheng sighed, he really didn't know where to start.
Qin Mo saw Qin Changsheng's embarrassment, and did not continue to ask, but just invited Qin Changsheng into the city.
The black-armored man stood behind Qin Mo, without saying a word, and let them enter the city, since he was the old man of this Qin Mo Gongzi, there must not be much mistake, even if there was a problem, the blame could not be blamed on him.
Qin Mo seemed to be very happy today, seeing Qin Changsheng, he insisted on pulling him to the Cloud Chasing Tower to eat wine.
Qin Changsheng couldn't refuse, and it was difficult to refuse the hospitality, so he had to go with him.
When Qin Yixin heard this, he also shouted loudly, and hurriedly ran behind Qin Changsheng and pushed him away, as if he could go faster this way.
Speaking of Cloud Chasing Tower, it can also be regarded as an industry of Lingbao Pavilion, like Lingbao Pavilion, which is widely distributed in the Hongmeng Continent.
Although the dishes of Chasing Cloud Tower are not amazing, its wine is a must, so it often attracts some wealthy people or children of the family to eat and drink.
And the origin of its name is also a story.
It is said that there was once a real immortal in the heavens who came down to eat and drink, and after drinking, he was full of pride and wrote a thousand-word masterpiece "Chasing the Clouds", and then ascended to heaven.
Subsequently, the restaurant took its name.
In "Chasing the Clouds", the sentence "Qionglou catches the moon and hides it in its sleeves, and the immortal drinks the immortal wine to chase the clouds", which has become a couplet for the visitors at the gate of the Chasing Cloud Building.
Xiguan City is the largest city in the west of Liang Kingdom, and the cloud-chasing tower in the city is also extremely high, like an attic in the air when the fog is filled.
"Come, brother Xian, taste this wine!"
Qin Mo picked up the extremely beautifully decorated wine jug with one hand and poured some pale cyan wine into Qin Changsheng's cup.
Qin Changsheng raised the cup and sniffed it, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it again, and felt that he looked good, so he took a sip lightly.
"Ahem!"
A dry and spicy sensation came from my throat.
"Brother forgive my sins, I really can't drink this wine!"
Seeing this, Qin Mo also laughed, and comforted Qin Changsheng: "Brother Xian drinks medicinal wine, which is brewed from the demon pill of demon beasts, although the taste is strong, but it is indeed a great tonic. If the virtuous brother can't get used to drinking it, I'll ask someone to serve a pot of fruit wine!"
This glass of wine is very precious.
Thinking of this, Qin Changsheng waved his hand, and with a twist in his heart, he drank the wine in the cup in a sullen voice.
For a while, his face was red and his ears were red.
It's just that Qin Changsheng can clearly feel that his body is quickly warming, and he can even feel the flow of blood, and there is an indescribable comfort.
Qin Mo was also very happy when he saw this, and praised him: "Brother Xian has a good amount of wine, come, fill another glass!"
When Qin Changsheng heard this, he hurriedly refused, he really didn't want to drink anymore, and he didn't expect that this genius young man who was extremely dazzling in the Chaoyuan Kingdom was actually an alcoholic.
However, drinking alcohol has the benefit of drinking, at least at this moment, Qin Changsheng no longer sees him as a person who looks up to him on the way to cultivation, but a real friend of the same generation.
Maybe Qin Mo likes to drink, and that's why he thinks so.
Qin Mo took a bite of the appetizer, took a sip of wine, and finally stopped drinking, and teased at Qin Changsheng, who was restrained in front of him: "Virtuous brother, I haven't seen you for a month, but your cultivation has risen sharply, and it is already the peak of the opening of the pulse, I still remember that before the Hundred Clans Dynasty Meeting, the virtuous brother didn't seem to have refined his qi, so fast, it made Zai also embarrassed." ”
"It's all some serendipitous things that make my brother smile!" Qin Changsheng explained.
In fact, seriously speaking, it is indeed a matter of chance.
Whether it was the appearance of the remnants of the elixir he had taken when he was ten years old, or the unintentional opening of the pulse guided by purple lightning in the secret realm, or the nameless exercise method that was traded with the Lord of the Forbidden Land.
These three are all indispensable to the realm that Qin Changsheng has reached today.
However, Qin Mo thought that Qin Changsheng was just a humble statement.
Because whenever he faced the praise of others, he Qin Mo also tried to respond to others with such words.
In an instant, he saw that Qin Changsheng was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye, it seemed that he was not only meeting an old friend in a foreign country, but also a bosom friend in a foreign country!
"Brother, actually, when I first heard that I was at war with the two countries, I was very puzzled. It stands to reason that now is not the best time. ”
Qin Mo was already drunk and hazy at this time, and when he heard Qin Changsheng's question, he told him with the smell of wine.
As Qin Changsheng analyzed, it is indeed not the time for the two countries to go to war.
At the beginning, he pretended to release the news to the outside world, claiming that he alone led the children of the clan to participate in the Hundred Clans Dynasty Meeting, such an excellent opportunity could attract some secretly hostile forces to emerge.
It's just that I didn't expect that among the assassins, there were the seven princes of the Liang Kingdom.
Reasoning carefully, you can know that this matter is not simple, obviously the other party has already figured out their plan, and it is also ruthless, and really sent the emperor's own son to carry out this death-defying assassination operation.
And the poor prince, perhaps even when he died, did not understand why he was subjected to such a perfect anti-ambush.
Qin Changsheng listened attentively, the affairs of the military and the secrets inside and outside the government and the opposition are often stories that can make teenagers enthusiastic.
Qin Yixin on the side didn't care at all, looking at the bustling crowd outside the window, and kept stuffing melons and fruits into his mouth.
She had always wanted to try the wine they had drunk, but after the two of them decisively refused, she had to give up her thoughts.
Subsequently, Qin Mo talked to Qin Changsheng about the possible motives behind the Liang State and his speculation about why the Chaoyuan State sent troops.
Through Qin Mo's detailed addition, the scattered news that was originally learned from all directions was linked one by one in Qin Changsheng's mind, and finally integrated together, becoming a clear vein.
If you add Qin Mo's analysis, this vein line is simply about to come out.
"My brother is worthy of being the descendant of the prime minister, and it is really a high opinion to make such a judgment!" Qin Changsheng admired from the bottom of his heart.
Qin Mo smiled and waved his hand, and raised his wine glass again to signal.
Qin Changsheng smiled bitterly.
Another cup of wine was in his stomach, Qin Changchang exhaled, and quickly took a bite of the dish, he found that he was still a little difficult to accept such a thing as wine.
"Brother, is it true that the teleportation array in the city can't be opened to the outside world as the man at the city gate said?"
Qin Mo was a little crying and laughing, and said: "Brother Xian is too worried, so he can naturally use it, but unfortunately, the teleportation array has been destroyed by Liang Guo's defenders in the city before the siege of the city." ”
Qin Changsheng was stunned for a moment, the teleportation array was actually destroyed, so if he returned to Qingning County with Imperial Sword, he was afraid that it would be the Year of the Monkey.
"Brother Xian, don't be frustrated, I'm here with the army just for this teleportation array. ”
"What do you mean, brother?"
Qin Mo stood up, and his body seemed to begin to exude a unique charm again, a charm that was very similar to Qin Changsheng.
Known as the first young person in the Chaoyuan Kingdom, the gold content of it is far from being rigid and cultivated.
"Because, I'm also a formation mage. ”
