Listening to the conversation between the two, Qing Lao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and a little sour. It was a kind of wonderful feeling that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the waves in front are washed on the beach, with a little sadness and a little relief.
When he first came to the ruins, he thought that with his powerful True Martial Realm cultivation, he was undoubtedly the most powerful warrior among the people and the most important backbone.
Even if one day they walked out of the ruins, the stories and legends about their adventures in the ruins were compiled into the storybooks in the market by meddlesome people. He, Qing Lao, the escort of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the bluestone swordsman Mu Chunfeng were all
He will be a brilliant protagonist.
What a pity, what a pity. The brilliance of his imaginary protagonist was completely eclipsed by that pair of boys and girls who were only sixteen years old.
Although Qing Lao was a little emotional about this, he didn't mind. He just smiled and said: "In any case, we can be said to have survived from a desperate situation this time, and we won by a narrow margin. Since we won, we should win."
celebrate."
As Qing Lao spoke, he took out several jars of wine from his space ring. In order to install more death puppets in his space ring, he almost filled his ring to the top. But despite this,
He was not willing to throw away his wine.
In the Shenwu Continent, the strong are respected, either for training or for survival. Most people do not leave the sword. How can those who survive in the light of swords and blood and shadows lack wine?
So men love wine, and even many women also love wine, and young and old people love it even more!
Amidst the soft popping sounds, the three jars of fine wine have been broken. The breeze is blowing, the fragrance of the wine is overflowing, and there is a river of autumn water flowing eastward. Although the scenery is not pleasant and elegant, it can be regarded as high.
It's comfortable.
Comfortable, yes. The three people at this time do have the qualifications to be comfortable. Although the man in black robe is not dead yet, it is obvious that he only has his last breath left. What they have to do now is to wait for midnight
When he arrived, the teleportation circle hidden under the water came out, and then he found that magic circle and left.
Of course, if possible, they would not mind finding traces of the man in black robes at the bottom of the vast water, and then send this strong man who crawled out of the grave to the grave.
The wine should be relatively ordinary wine. This can be seen just from the not-elegant wine jar, but the cups are three blue and white glazed cups.
"It took a long time to come out. The wine in the palace has been drunk long ago. This is the wine from the small shop in the barbarian city. It is not very good. I hope you don't mind." Qinglao chuckled and started to pour wine for everyone, but he
He only made half of the move, but was stopped by Shui Qianyue who grabbed the wine jar.
Your Royal Highness, please pour the wine yourself.
Although she is a princess, she obviously doesn't like to act like a princess. In the past, when she went out, she often regarded herself as a junior.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Although Qing Lao's strength is not too high in the dynasty, his status is not too high. But when he was young, he was still called the Bluestone Swordsman.
When His Majesty the Emperor was just the Crown Prince, he was the young Crown Prince's schoolboy companion. They were like brothers who had grown up since childhood. Such a relationship could not be described as unintimate.
Even when Her Royal Highness was young, Qing Lao hugged Her Highness and lovingly touched the braid tied behind her head...
This is also the reason why now, when Her Royal Highness the Princess leaves the palace or leaves the Guiyuan Sect, His Royal Highness the Emperor does not send out ninth-level Zhenwu warriors with higher cultivation levels, but instead sends out young and old warriors.
Because His Majesty the Emperor has great trust in the young man, Her Royal Highness the Princess is also very close to and respectful of the old man.
In Shui Qianyue's heart, the young and old are equal to her elders. Since they are elders, how can she let the elders pour wine for the younger ones?
Qinglao was slightly startled because he knew that although Her Royal Highness the Princess respected him in the past, she would never pour him wine.
Because he never refused to accept such courtesy, because His Highness is His Highness after all, and the guards are just guards.
A monarch and his ministers have their own etiquette. It is precisely because of this festival that even though he often accompanies His Highness to travel around, he only treats himself as a servant and never pretends to be His Highness's elder, and His Highness never pours wine for him.
liquor.
"Is it because there is an extra noble person now that His Highness becomes a little different from the past?" Qing Lao couldn't help but think so.
The noble person of course refers to Qin Feng. The reason why they can survive in the ruins to this day is of course inseparable from the help of this noble person.
At the same time, it was precisely because of this noble man that Qing Lao surprisingly did not refuse His Highness's glass of wine this time, because he felt that it would be a bit rude to give in to His Highness at this time in front of the noble man.
But Qing Lao didn't know that the reason why His Highness wanted to pour the wine was not because there was a noble person in front of him, but because she had scolded Qing Lao angrily before in an emergency and helpless situation.
The meaning of apology.
However, if she said the words of apology, it would inevitably appear too sour and outspoken, so she could only remain silent and pour the wine.
The wine glass in front of Qing Lao was filled with eight cents full and he stopped slightly. Shui Qianyue bowed slightly and wanted to pour wine for Qin Feng, but Qin Feng slightly covered the wine glass with one hand and said with an apologetic smile: "Sorry, I
I don’t like drinking and I never drink.”
Shui Qianyue looked slightly startled, as if she felt a little embarrassed, even slightly unhappy. Her dignified imperial princess poured the wine in person, but Qin Feng actually refused to drink it? No matter how you look at it, it seems that she is not allowed to do so.
face.
However, when she saw the clean and unpretentious expression in Qin Feng's eyebrows, the displeasure in her heart quietly disappeared. Because she knew clearly that Qin Feng was not disrespectful, but was extremely simple and sincere.
to express one's attitude.
"What you said is wrong." Qing Lao said with a narrowed smile.
"What's wrong?" Qin Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Since you never drink, how can you know the taste of wine? If you don't know the taste of wine, how can you say you love wine or not? What's more, when the wine was broken just now, I saw you sniffing it
Nose, this shows that you don't hate the taste of wine." The smile on Qing Lao's face became even brighter, and there was an unspeakable sense of pride in his eyes.
That kind of look is like seeing an old alcoholic who has quit drinking for many years and insists that he doesn't like drinking. At the same time, he really wants to see a smoker who has been coughing all day and just put down his cigarette but claims that he has quit smoking.
Qin Feng was silent for a moment. Of course, it was impossible for him to really never drink. His father, Qin Xiaochi, was an out-and-out wine lover. Even in his previous life, he never drank without drinking.
He has tasted everything from the cut-throat liquor from the extremely cold places in the far north, to the sweet and delicious wine from Dazhongzhou, or the slightly sour yellow rice wine unique to the south.
However, in the days since he was reborn, it is true that he has never drank alcohol. Therefore, his statement that he never drinks alcohol is not a lie.
As for the theory that he doesn't like drinking, it's because after he was reborn, he knew that the mystery of his parents' disappearance had not yet been solved. He was always depressed because of this and did not dare to drink and have fun. Therefore, whether in the palace of the Daqian Kingdom or in the hidden mist In front of Yi Tianxing, the legendary strong man in the mountains, he always excused himself by saying that he didn't like drinking.
"Okay, let's make an exception today." Qin Feng thought for a while and said.
Perhaps it was because Qing Lao had revealed his thoughts with his words, or perhaps it was because Her Royal Highness the Princess was leaning slightly over the wine pot to pour it out, or not pouring it out. Her movements seemed a bit laborious. He finally chose to have a drink. .
Of course, the most likely possibility is that one day he found out about his mother's whereabouts in Wuwei Zhuzhong, and today he got the Wuluhua from Shui Qianyue, which could awaken his mother. So there was Some reasons for making exceptions.
The three of them sat on the floor, and there was no need for any delicacies to accompany the wine, so they clinked glasses and drank.
When the wine entered the stomach, there was no burning sensation like cutting the throat as Qin Feng imagined. It was obviously not a strong drink. It also did not have a soft and mellow taste, or the sourness of southern rice wine. Instead, it gave people a sense of There is a refreshing feeling, and when you taste it carefully, you can feel that this wine has a sweet and slightly grassy taste.
"What kind of wine is this?" Qin Feng was a little confused. He just thought it was because he hadn't drank for a long time. He couldn't help but wonder if it was ordinary wine. It had this kind of taste.
"This is chrysanthemum wine. It's not as enjoyable as that kind of cut-throat liquor, but it's better than nothing." The young man didn't seem to like this kind of wine too much, and complained: "It's the Double Ninth Festival, barbarians. That small shop in the city only sells this kind of wine these two days."
"Chrysanthemum wine, Double Ninth Festival..." After hearing this, Qin Feng pondered slightly, as if he suddenly thought of something, his originally calm expression suddenly turned solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Not good!"
"Not good?" The young man was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't understand why Qin Feng, who had always been calm and calm, would react like this to a small cup of chrysanthemum wine. He couldn't help but ask in confusion: "This wine It’s true that it doesn’t taste very good, but you don’t have to react so much.”
"I'm not talking about wine, I'm talking about the Double Ninth Festival. Is today the Double Ninth Festival?" Qin Feng abandoned his wine glass and stood up.
"Yesterday was September 8th, and today is of course the Double Ninth Festival. What's wrong with that?" The young and old were still puzzled. On the Double Ninth Festival, it is a custom to climb high, admire chrysanthemums, and drink chrysanthemum wine. Many places in Shenwu Continent have such customs. , is there anything bad or wrong?
Qin Feng explained: "Have you ever remembered that in what the man in black robe said on the stone bridge before, he mentioned numbers related to ninety-nine several times."
"A number related to Jiujiu?" Qing Lao and Shui Qianyue began to seriously recall the scene at that time...
"In the past ten years, I have killed ninety-nine ordinary young men and women every month for six years in a row. I have killed ninety-nine warriors in the Body Tempering Realm every month for three years in a row. Every warrior in the Xuanling Realm has been killed. Ninety-nine months, and I have been killing for another year. Now, I only need the lives of ninety-nine Yin-Yang realm warriors to completely recover!" The words of the man in black robes echoed in the hearts of the two of them again like thunder.
"Ninety-nine and the Double Ninth Festival? What's the connection between them?" Shui Qianyue asked with a frown. Although she also felt that there seemed to be some kind of connection between them, she didn't quite understand it. She even felt that it was
