Jiang Wang doesn't get on anyone's carriage, and Li Yougui's lesson is not far away.
But for someone like Xiu Yuan, the commander of the Prison Electric Army, since he was openly waiting for him outside the Changsheng Palace, nothing ugly would happen, so he had nothing to worry about.
The carriage Xiu Yuan was riding at this time was not his imperial carriage that represented the ceremonials of the country.
It should be convenient for daily travel, but it is still not comparable to the car rented by Jiang's housekeeper.
Not to mention the spaciousness of the space, the softness of the seat cushions, and the elegant decoration... the patterns on the car walls are actually natural wood grains! Like a flower, like a tree, like a dragon, like a tiger, mysterious things arise on their own.
The wood itself is priceless.
Jiang Wang stepped into the car with one step, as if he were stepping on the clouds, so light and effortless.
The groom was obviously from the military, with a serious temperament and a spine as straight as iron. With just a slight shake of his hand, the reins made a crisp sound in the air, and the two tall black horses raised their hooves at the same time.
The hoofs rise and fall with the same sound.
The carriage moved lightly, without any bumps in the carriage.
Snap!
The car door closes.
At the right time, a warm light lit up on the roof of the carriage. It was not caused by the halo of any object, but condensed by array patterns. It was clear but not dazzling.
Lord Jiang has seen the world and calmly sat down opposite Xiu Yuan: "I wonder why Commander Xiu invited Jiang to ride with him?"
Xiu Yuan didn't answer and just asked: "Do you usually drink?"
Between Xiu Yuan and Jiang Wang, the baffle quietly fell, and a low table slowly rose. There is a silver pot and four upside-down silver wine glasses on the low table.
There are two dishes of side dishes, one is pea-shaped, but red and has a faint burnt aroma.
One is a fruit shaped like a half-moon. Under the translucent skin, a silvery sand-like liquid core can be vaguely seen. In short, Jiang Wang didn't even recognize it.
But he didn't get on the carriage just to see the life of the Nine Soldiers Commander.
Sitting upright, he replied matter-of-factly: "If you don't have a banquet, don't drink."
"I've heard many people talk about you, but today is the first time I've seen you." Xiuyuan reached out and turned the wine glass on the table over, and said in a calm voice, "Drink a drink with me."
As he spoke, he turned over three wine glasses and reached for the wine bottle.
Jiang Wang quickly extended his hand and said, "Let me come."
Xiu Yuan held the wine bottle with one hand and gently let it go: "Good man, don't worry about those vulgar etiquette."
Jiang Wang had no choice but to sit still again.
Xiu Yuan poured the wine slowly and asked casually: "Just now in the palace, I saw you vaguely practicing the Eight Winds. Is it dragon and tiger?"
"Indeed." Jiang Wang was a little surprised by the other party's attention to him, and quickly explained: "I have no intention of disrespecting the eleventh prince. It's just a habit to study Taoism."
Xiu Yuan poured three glasses of wine and pushed one of the glasses in front of Jiang Wang with the back of his index finger. He said softly: "I have long heard that you, Jiang Qingyang, are neither arrogant nor discouraged, and are hardworking and hardworking, which is different from ordinary people. When I see you today, you are indeed amazing."
Jiang Wangqian said in a loud voice: "Lowering an official position is nothing more than a stupid bird flying first, making up for one's weakness with diligence."
Xiu Yuan shook his head: "There are so many clever people in this world. How many are there who have great wisdom? If you are a stupid bird, there are not many people in the world who can fly."
Jiang Wangdao: "My little wisdom is to work harder and be more attentive. All harvests come from hard work."
"This is great wisdom." Xiu Yuan said: "The top four academies in the world. Longmen Academy seeks to be talented and talented, Qingya Academy seeks to be willful and natural, and Haoran Academy seeks to cultivate righteousness. They are all top-notch knowledge in the world. But. The number one academy is due to diligence. There is nothing else in the Academy of Diligence, but the trend of studying hard is very strong, so it is the best in the world."
Jiang Wang nodded seriously: "The official has learned a lesson."
This Jiang Wang, who was a little too modest, and the Jiang Wang who refused to be insulted and was so strong that he dared to question the emperor face to face, were simply not the same person.
Xiu Yuan glanced at him lightly: "I didn't teach you either... Well, since you mentioned being taught..."
His eyes were slightly fixed.
Jiang Wang immediately felt a gentle flow of information like a drizzle, pouring down his soul - it was the experience of practicing the Taoist technique "Dragon and Tiger", as well as some ideas for practicing this technique based on the outer building level.
"I happened to learn it in my early years." Xiu Yuan said casually: "I don't need it now. I haven't forgotten it yet... I'll leave it to you."
The world of Taoism is as vast as the sea, and it changes rapidly with each passing day.
Even Yi Xingchen, a master of magic skills, can't hit all the magic tricks at the same time.
He Xiuyuan is no exception.
Therefore, the Taoist technique of Longhu was of course brought in temporarily while he was waiting outside the palace gate. After a quick study, he passed it on to Jiang Wang.
The Taoist understanding of a real person in this world almost instantly opened up the unbreakable barrier that Jiang Wang had been thinking about for many days, making him suddenly understand.
Jiang Wang was surprised and happy: "Shuai Xiu is so polite, I really don't know how to thank him."
"No need to say more." Xiu Yuan raised his chin and said very casually, "Just make a toast."
Jiang Wang toasted simply: "I'll do it first as a token of respect."
After drinking the wine in the glass in one gulp, the warm liquid fell into his stomach and suddenly turned into a line of fire, burning all the way to his throat. At that critical point, like sparks flying out, "exploding" all over the body, every part of the body felt uncomfortable.
The soul is extremely lively, and Daoyuan is also very agile.
This wine...can actually help with spiritual practice, it's truly a masterpiece!
Toasting itself is also a good thing. Jiang Wang benefited so many times that he didn't know what to say for a while.
Xiu Yuan had already picked up a cup and drank slowly: "Hurry up and digest, don't miss the effect of the wine."
Jiang Wang then closed his eyes and carried Dao Yuan. Under the slowly flowing wine, the Tongtian Sea became clearer and clearer, and in the Wufu Sea, the islands of heaven and earth became more stable. In the sea of hidden stars, the Taoist pulse is soaring, Long Yaojiao is swimming...
I don't know how long it took, but when Jiang Wang opened his eyes, he felt that his body and soul were in peace, and everything was going smoothly. This wine is truly a treasure. One glass of wine can be worth a month’s work!
Xiu Yuan poured him another glass of wine: "Drinking too much of this wine is ineffective, but its taste will be revealed after it loses its effect. You can taste it again."
The value of this exquisite wine that can aid spiritual practice is immeasurable.
Probably only a real person like Xiu Yuan in this world can taste its taste luxuriously when he is no longer able to feel its extraordinary effects.
At least Jiang Wang took a small sip. Although the fragrance lingered on his lips and teeth, he was still thinking about the pleasure of helping practice, trying to capture its effectiveness, and then feeling sorry for its huge value... He couldn't feel much of the taste at all.
He stopped his glass and sighed: "Jiang Wang is really flattered."
"You deserve this." Xiu Yuan gently sipped the taste of the wine and said in a casual tone: "The older you get, the less you want to owe anything. Especially things like favor... are difficult to repay."
At the Master's Ceremony, Jiang Wang's argument that "an ant should have no regrets" stopped the emperor's anger and won many favors.
For example, Yi Xingchen, the court official who finally checked Cui Zhu's name, has shown goodwill many times.
And Xiuyuan is the one who needs the most sympathy.
It's just that I have been living in confinement at home, and I have no time or opportunity to contact Jiang Wang. As soon as I saw him in Changsheng Palace today, he immediately waited outside the palace to "pay off his debt".
As soon as Xiu Yuan said this, Jiang Wang relaxed immediately.
Taking another sip of the wine in the glass, I was able to enjoy some good things this time... After all, he, Jiang, was also afraid of owing favors.
After the wine entered his throat and turned around in his ileum, Jiang Wang asked, "I wonder what the name of this wine is?"
"I brewed this wine myself... I only have the last pot left." Xiuyuan shook the wine pot, listened to the sound of the jade liquid and fine wine, and said softly: "It's called 'Zhe Changliu'."
I break the willow tree, hoping that you will stay forever.
There must be a story. Although Jiang Wang didn't know the twists and turns, he could taste some of the complexity in the wine and couldn't help but praise: "What a good name."
The carriage slowly stopped at this moment, and there was no wave of wine in the glass. The driver Xiu Yuan's skill in driving a carriage was truly superb, far inferior to that of the driver Xie Ping recruited from who knows where.
Jiang Wang blinked lightly and put away these self-humiliating thoughts. Compared with the commander-in-chief of the Nine Soldiers, it is really hard to imagine...
Xiu Yuan held the wine flask, helped Jiang Wang fill up the wine glass, and asked, "Do you know where this is?"
Of course Jiang Wang knew where this was.
Even though he has not yet activated his sravaka state, his sensitivity to sounds has already enabled him to capture the surrounding environment.
The roaring voices, the boiling emotions of the crowd, tension, excitement, fright, cheers... and screams.
There is no doubt that it is a law field.
At the same time, many prisoners were sentenced to death.
Among them was a real person named Yan Tu.
Xiu Yuan's carriage stopped not far from the execution ground. Although there was a huge crowd, the signboard called Prisoner of Electric Force squeezed out a spot.
But the car door was not opened and the window was not opened.
Although Xiu Yuan's car drove here, he didn't seem to intend to watch the execution process.
Of course... as a real person in the world, if he wanted to see it, it would be difficult for anything to block his sight.
The closed doors and windows are just his closed eyes.
"This is the place where spies from the equal country are executed." Jiang Wang said carefully.
The words are full of reminders to repair the distance.
Xiu Yuan didn’t know if he understood it, or rather, he didn’t know if he listened.
He only took a sip of wine, drank it carefully, and seemed to be drunk but not drunk, and then said: "I heard that you like reading?"
Jiang Wang wanted to ask, who said it?
After all, he lacked the shame to brag in front of a real person in the world, so he said uncomfortably: "I feel more and more that my accumulation is too insufficient. I have indeed been looking for time to study recently...but I don't read much."
"Have you read "Story of Strange Beasts"?" Xiu Yuan asked.
"Never..." Jiang Wang said.
This was the first time he heard this title!
"...a book that records all kinds of strange beasts. The information is relatively comprehensive." Xiu Yuan said: "Although many of the strange beasts recorded in it have become extinct, they also represent a period of history to a certain extent, which helps to deepen the Your understanding of the world. You are fine with the presence of God, but if you want to become a real person, you must understand the world better. If you have the chance... you should still read it."
Facing the most talented young man in Daqi, he couldn't say anything. This was just one of the basic reading materials of Jixia Academy.
"Understood!" Jiang Wang nodded simply.
If you know it, you know it; if you don't know it, you don't know it. The lack of accumulation is a problem of innate conditions, not his fault, and it is nothing to be ashamed of. He is still young and still has great years, so he can make up for it with more efforts.
"There is a bird called negative rain..." Xiu Yuan rubbed his wine glass and sighed: "I have always wanted to see it, but I have never found it. I think it no longer exists."
"This kind of bird is very powerful? Is there any special way to kill it?" Jiang Wang asked curiously.
"..." Xiu Yuan suddenly felt that he was playing the piano, and said: "Don't just drink, let's have some food."
Jiang Wang obediently twisted a half-moon-shaped fruit wrapped in silver sand and put it into his mouth.
I originally wanted to ask what kind of treasures there were in the Lao Shi Zi Rain Bird, but after one bite, my mouth was filled with fragrance, and I immediately forgot about it.
"Hey, it tastes good." Lord Jiang tried to sound as natural as possible, without making a fuss: "Xiu Shuai, where can I buy this kind of fruit?"
I was thinking in my mind that with my current salary, I could buy a few kilograms for An An to try.
He missed An An's birthday again this year, so he had to find something delicious to make up for it, no matter how expensive it was, it was worth it.
"It's called 'Moon Cage Sand'." Xiu Yuan said casually: "The fox tribe loves to eat it and regards it as the holy fruit produced by the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons. It doesn't exist in this world, and it can't be grown."
"Uh...oh."
"Eat more if you like it." Xiu Yuan held the wine glass and said casually: "It does taste good. Every time I go to the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons, I will go out to find some."
Having said that, he just took another sip of wine.
"A very rare taste." Jiang Wang grabbed a handful and put one in his mouth as if nothing had happened.
Learning the exercises, drinking a lot of wine, and packing up the fruit in someone's car was something that he, a genius like him, couldn't do, but he could hold a handful of fruit in his hand and finish it in a while. Bar?
Eating on the go shouldn’t be a problem either.
Then it is quite reasonable to accidentally take some leftover home.
Since everything is left in the end, it shouldn’t be gossiped about if it is left for my sister to eat later, right?
In his own logical world, Jiang Qingyang remains standing.
But Xiuyuan stopped talking.
When Xiu Yuan fell silent, Jiang Wang immediately felt embarrassed.
I was holding a handful of Yuelong Sha in my hand, but I couldn't bear to eat it, and it seemed strange not to eat it. Thinking about it, I might as well bite the bullet and eat it, it feels a bit like hiding something.
It’s really hard to think about everything, no matter what...
"It's raining." Xiuyuan said suddenly.
Only then did Jiang Wang realize that he didn't know when... the screams on the execution ground had stopped.
The carriage started driving again and drove away in silence.
Xiu Yuan looked up and saw that a skylight automatically slid open on the top of the carriage.
All I could see was red drizzle in the sky, fluttering and falling towards the world.
When a real person dies, the world weeps and sheds blood... I feel the same sorrow.
The carriage was driving in Linzi City, the most prosperous city in the Eastern Region. Xiu Yuan was speechless, and Jiang Wang was silent as well. Far away, from nowhere, a vague singing voice came.
The song sang——
"Tonight again, the willow trees are broken. Yue'e throws away the wine in the cup..."
"The old notes are light and full of joy. The traces of tears are still thinner than the blue and white flowers..." (1)
Jiang Wang thought that he might have heard wrongly.
During these days, no entertainment is allowed in the city.
…

ps:
1. "Tonight, I will break the willow tree again..." - Qing He Yi Shen, "The Hairpin Head Phoenix: Breaking the Willow Tree"
2. I should have saved my manuscripts and started adding more to pay off my debts. But there are too many things going on these days, and nothing is left.
3. The physical book of "Surveying the Sky with a True Heart" has sold well. Dangdang's new youth literature book ranks first in the best-selling list and sixth in the overall list. Thank you for your support. I have been taking time to sign autographs every day these days, hand-signing five hundred copies a day, trying to get the publisher to send out all the signed copies before the middle of the month.
When I finish my work, I will pay off the debt.
