In the evening, the sun sets and the sky becomes dark.
Restaurants in the Western District of the Imperial City have lit up crystal lanterns and started to open for business. The entire main road in the Western District is lined with dots of colorful lights, intertwined with the afterglow of the sun, and reflected by the orange clouds above.
A unique sense of beauty.
Two streets away from the main road, there is a two-story small building with the words "Qingfeng Restaurant" written on the plaque at the door. The flow of people in this area is relatively sparse, and the decoration style of the small building is very simple, lacking the charm favored by the nobles.
There is no entertainment element, so there are not many people available, and the business is quite lukewarm.
In the corner of the second floor, Zhong Wen occupied a table alone, drinking alone.
Tomorrow he was going to the Xiqi front line, but his three confidants hid from him for a day and a night on the pretext of "preparation" or "recuperation", which made him depressed after not "cultivating" for a long time.
Even the palace lord's sister Lin Zhiyun was not only busy "reuniting" with her father Lin Shangshu after a long absence. After hearing about Zheng Yueting, she even told her two disciples Liu Qiqi and Shen Xiaowan to "stay away from Zhong Wen."
As a result, he was ignored all day.
The "Book of Illusion Dao" that I got by drawing lots sounds like it has a lot of knowledge. However, when I opened it in my mind, I could only see a big word "Dao". Other than that, I couldn't find anything else.
He asked him to fetch water from a bamboo basket, and he was overjoyed.
The unhappy Zhong Wen went out for a stroll and accidentally passed by the "Qingfeng Restaurant". He felt that the restaurant's business was bleak, which aroused his worries. He actually felt a sense of sympathy and decided to come in and take care of the boss's business.
He ordered a pot of wine and a few side dishes, and while listening to a man and a woman on the stage in front singing an unknown song, he poured himself a glass of wine and drank. After half an hour, he gradually felt a little tipsy.
The drunkenness was not strong, so the "Yi Qi Immortality Secret" in the body did not operate on its own. Under the influence of alcohol, the originally depressed mood gradually eased a lot.
At this time, a man in white was led to the second floor by a waiter and sat down at a table near him.
The man wore a hat on his head, covering his face, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly.
"Have a bottle of wine and some shark fin buns." The words "shark fin buns" in the man's mouth aroused Zhong Wen's curiosity. After all, in his mind, "shark fin" and "bao buns" belong to two different classes.
It was extremely difficult for the food to be mixed together. Besides, the man's voice sounded familiar to him, and he couldn't help but look at the table carefully.
Not long after, the waiter brought the drinks and steamed buns. The man in white finally took off his hat. He seemed to feel someone peeping at him at the table next door. He turned his head and glanced at Zhong Wen. At first glance, the two of them were at the same time.
surprised.
"Zhong Wen?"
"Your Majesty..."
Before Zhong Wen could finish his sentence, the man flashed and appeared in front of him. He put his right hand on his mouth and made a "silence" gesture with his left hand: "Call me Uncle Li."
It turned out that this person was actually the Emperor of Daqian, Li Jiuye.
"Uncle Li." Zhong Wenwen was not interested in imperial power. Seeing Li Jiuye's request, he naturally changed his mind and immediately changed his mind.
"It's rare that we meet here. Let's have a drink together?" Li Jiuye asked with a satisfied look on his face when he saw Zhong Wen being obedient.
"Okay." If it were anyone else, he would be a little nervous when meeting the emperor, but Zhong Wen didn't seem to care and agreed carelessly.
Seeing that he was young but looked calm when talking to him, Li Jiuye's eyes showed a bit of approval. He waved his right hand, and the wine bottles and steamed buns on the table suddenly appeared like magic. In front of Zhong Wen, the other guests didn't notice it at all.
This is the spiritual master!
When Zhong Wen saw it, he felt a little envious.
"Why did you come here to drink alone?" Li Jiuye poured a glass of wine, clinked the glasses with Zhong Wen, and asked casually.
"I'm in a bad mood." Zhong Wen replied truthfully, "Come out and relax."
"Oh?" Li Jiuye asked curiously, "Tell me about it."
"Uncle Li, can I ask you a question?" Zhong Wen did not answer, but asked.
"you say."
"I heard that you have three thousand... wives." Zhong Wen almost said the word "concubine", but finally he woke up in time and quickly changed his words, "How do you deal with the relationship between husband and wife on weekdays?"
"Relationship between husband and wife?" Li Jiuye didn't have this concept at all in his mind, "How else to deal with it? Go to whoever you want to go to at night. If you can't make up your mind, just turn over the cards and see your luck."
Zhong Wen: “…..”
He felt that his thinking and the other person's were not on the same channel at all.
"There are too many women, can't you take care of them? I... I have long seen that you are a romantic seed." Li Jiuye laughed and said, "Otherwise, with your ability, how can you be willing to work as a cook in a women's sect? However, You have good taste. There are so many beauties in Piaohua Palace. If I were... twenty years younger, I would have to compete with you for that Miss Lin family."
"Uncle Li, you misunderstood me." Zhong Wen shook his head and said, "I just think that people's energy is limited, and a woman can't bear the pain. If you fall in love with several people at the same time, wouldn't it mean that your heart has to be divided into two parts? How many petals have you wronged each of them?"
"Is it because you are too carefree and have made some members of your family unhappy?" Li Jiuye still didn't understand Zhong Wen's meaning, so he tried to persuade himself, "Then I have to say, you may care too much about your woman. , so that they can be so proud of each other. Look at me, I have married not only three thousand, but more than a thousand, but who dares to show the slightest hint of displeasure?"
Zhong Wen knew that on this matter, the two people had completely different ways of thinking and could not communicate at all. He shook his head helplessly, no longer entangled, and instead changed the subject and said, "Uncle Li, the situation is not completely stable now, how can you Going out to drink alone?"
"I...I'm in a bad mood too." Li Jiuye's expression darkened when he heard this.
"When you are in a bad mood, you can find someone to talk to and you can relieve yourself a lot," Zhong Wen said calmly.
"Have you heard about what happened in the Jinluan Palace?" Maybe it was the effect of alcohol, or maybe it was Zhong Wen's natural and friendly calls of "Uncle", but Li Jiuye actually started to reveal his thoughts.
"Know a thing or two."
"Not only did I lose to that guy in the Jinluan Palace, but I also behaved very badly." Li Jiuye drank a glass of wine depressedly, "There were so many top figures present at that time, and my image was completely ruined."
"Uncle Li, who has never lost control of his emotions?" Zhong Wen also raised his glass and drank it in one gulp, "To tell you the truth, I encountered a similar situation when I was at South City Gate and almost lost my life forever.
Sanity will never come back."
"I heard General Xue mentioned that you actually killed Sima Gu with your Heavenly Wheel realm. Such an achievement is simply shocking." Li Jiuye felt relieved after hearing this, as if he had met a close friend, and he met Zhong Wen.
Clinking wine glasses, "You are indeed a passionate person. An injury to a woman can make you lose your mind. But as a man, you must not be too obsessed with women, otherwise your future achievements will be limited."
Why do you start preaching while we are chatting, and really think of yourself as my uncle?
Zhong Wen complained in his heart and said: "Everyone has Ni Lin in their heart, isn't Uncle Li the same?"
"You are right." Li Jiuye was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly, "Obviously I am the emperor... but that guy always puts me down. Everyone thinks he is more talented than me, and I am just an idiot.
The incompetent person who relied on his father's generation has accumulated so many emotions in his heart over the past few decades that it almost drove me crazy. If not, how could I agree to challenge him to a duel, and how could I be so rude?"
He paused, with a bitter expression on his face: "However, it turns out that he is indeed stronger than me, in every aspect."
At this moment, what Zhong Wen saw in his eyes was no longer the lofty Emperor Daqian, but a pitiful uncle who was in a middle-aged crisis.
"Uncle Li's words are wrong." Zhong Wen's heart softened, and he couldn't help but comfort him, "Maybe that person is better at planning than you, and his cultivation talent is slightly stronger, but now you are still standing here well.
, but he has died and his soul has returned to hell. Judging from the results, it is clear that you are stronger than him."
"You don't need to comfort me." Li Jiuye smiled and shook his head. "I am able to stand here now. Apart from good luck, I also rely on the shadow of my father's generation. I still have this bit of self-knowledge."
"So what?" Zhong Wen said nonchalantly, "Luck is also a part of strength. How many people in this world want to 'fight for their father' but fail. Shouldn't the efforts of our parents be ignored?"
"Father? You used the word accurately," Li Jiuye couldn't help laughing when he heard the word for the first time, "It makes sense when you say it like that, but in the eyes of many people, I am still better than
Don’t fuck him.”
"They are all irrelevant people. Why do they care so much about their thoughts?" Zhong Wen lazily poured a glass of wine, "No matter how much that person is sought after by them, he is just eating dirt down there. No matter how you don't Being treated by these people is not enough to live a good life. What is more important than living a good life?"
"That makes sense." Li Jiuye laughed and felt relieved, "I... I'm still alive and well. I don't care about all these things. Come on, do one!"
The two of us had a drink for you and a drink for me, chatting here and there, and eventually we became like uncles and nephews.
"Are you leaving for Xiqi tomorrow?" Li Jiuye suddenly asked.
"Yes." Zhong Wen nodded, "Since you agreed, you must keep your promise. This time, Piaohua Palace will send three spiritual masters, a counselor and myself, a doctor, to support the Xiqi defenders."
"On behalf of the people of Daqian, I would like to thank you." Li Jiuye said with a rather moved expression, "When you return in triumph, we will have a drink and have a good time. By then I will definitely think of a suitable reward and will never let you scold me for being stingy in your heart. "
Hearing this, Zhong Wen chuckled, and the wine glasses in their hands touched again.
…
The night was already dark, and Zhong Wen wandered back to the Lin Mansion with a hint of drunkenness. The surroundings were quiet and there was no sound at all. Everyone in the mansion had already fallen into a sweet dreamland.
Pushing open the door, he lit the spiritual crystal lamp and hurried to the bed. He didn't even take off his clothes and planned to lie down for a while.
Suddenly, he had a strange feeling in his heart, as if there was someone lying on the bed.
Without thinking, he reached out and opened the bed curtain, and a beautiful girl's face appeared in front of her.
"Tingting!"
He couldn't help but exclaimed.
