8pm.
The lanterns are on.
Shrek City, north gate, city gate.
There is an endless stream of pedestrians.
But it does not affect Xu Tianran, who has been waiting here for a long time.
"coming?"
Xu Tianran asked the visitor.
The visitor also gave the same reply: "Here he comes."
After all, it’s like an old friend.
Raise your arms and hold them like swords.
Pointing to the city: "Please."
"You...hehe..."
"I didn't say where I was going, I just said please..."
"It's as if I know the destination..."
Xu Tianran stroked his hands and smiled.
Immediately, he also raised his arm and signaled: "Please."
"Then I won't be polite."
Lin Chaoci smiled and did not refuse.
Leading Xu Tianran through the long streets.
After three turns and two turns, we arrived in front of a bar.
Pushing the door open, it's a bar.
No loud music.
There were no troublemaking guests either.
Some were just melodious and soothing classical music, and a few customers sat in front of the bar, admiring the bartender's cool bartending moves.
"Two glasses of water."
Lin Chaoci had no intention of paying.
Xu Tianran actually wanted to ask Lin Chao to resign.
However, after looking around, I didn't see a menu.
He had no choice but to follow Lin Chaoci and sit down at the bar. He didn't pretend to understand. He politely asked the bartender who looked hopeless at the bar: "How much does it cost for my treat?"
"for free……"
The bartender grinned bitterly.
Although he hadn't started mixing it, he seemed to have felt the cramp in his arm. Water cutting is actually whiskey, ice, water, and then stirring continuously. It usually takes about twenty minutes to stir, and it can be formed. No high-end mixing is required. Drinking skills can be completed with only a pair of hands that are not tired: "This is our boss. You don't need to spend money on all consumption in this bar. However, it seems that it is your first time to come to a bar like ours." , let me briefly introduce to you that a clear bar is different from a bar. In the clear bar, only regular customers know the prices of many cocktails. Moreover, there are no fixed cocktails. What do you want to drink today? It is a delicate sweet that you like. You can tell our bartender if you prefer a drink, or if you prefer the refreshing taste of spirits, we will mix the drinks you want on the spot according to your preferences, so I'm sorry that we don't have those set menus in nightclubs. "
Xu Tianran was born into the royal family.
Friends like foxes and dogs can't get close to him at all.
Due to physical disability.
I didn’t even go to a nightclub.
Not to mention Qingba, which has only become popular in the past year.
However, after hearing what the young bartender in front of me said, he became a little bit interested. Knowing who was the protagonist today, he turned to look at Lin Chaoci: "Hearing what he said, I was also a little curious, why not In this way, I ask him to make me a drink with the most gorgeous visual effects. I wonder if Brother Lin will agree?"
"There is nothing wrong with it."
Lin Chaoci raised his hand to show his ease.
Then, the bartender did not hesitate to wave to another girl bartender on the side, and threw the problem back to the girl: "I'll leave the hydrocut to you, I'm optimistic about you~"
Girl: "..."
My boss, what else can I do?
Sighing, he took out the cup as if resigned to his fate.
He took out ice cubes from the freezer nearby.
Knife after knife, the ice cubes were chopped up with a "click".
Xu Tianran's glass of wine was served quickly.
Under the bartender's showmanship, in just five minutes, a light blue cocktail with white mist on it and garnished with bay leaves was freshly made and placed in front of Xu Tianran.
And the water cut that Lin Chaoci ordered...
Just finished the preparation work...
The bartender is stirring the glass with a utensil...
This process will take at least fifteen minutes...
Lin Chaoci knew the mixing time of Shui Ke and did not urge the bartender to speed up. After taking a sip of the cocktail, Xu Tianran looked thoughtful and took the initiative to break the gauze curtain between the two parties: "To be honest, you surprised me. I always thought that you were a person who would do anything to gain power, but I didn't expect that you dared to come to see me without a guard. I was really impressed by you. .”
"I'm impressed..."
Xu Tianran put down the cocktail, with the slightest hint of sweetness still lingering between his lips and teeth. He praised the wine and said with a generous smile:
"I'm human too."
"A human being of flesh and blood."
"I do like power and having power."
"However, there are always some people who are more important than rights."
"I pursue power by any means necessary."
"I can see that you are the same person."
"But, perhaps, the reasons why we pursue power are different. You seem to be doing it for ideals, and I just don't want to lose something I don't want to lose, just like my body. If I were the emperor at that time, how could anyone If you can assassinate me, how could I lose my legs or even other organs in that assassination?"
"So, I want to stop losing."
"Because, as long as I become the emperor, my sister will not be used as a bargaining chip. She will not marry a certain duke in order to stabilize the status of the royal family after she reaches adulthood. There are many, many things that are the same. Now The compromise is for the sake of not compromising in the future. I know what you want to do, so I am here with full sincerity."
Why didn't Lin Chaoci understand what Xu Tianran meant?
They can all think about it and recognize the reality.
Is what Lin Chaoci took out during the military parade really the strongest trump card in his hand? I'm afraid it's not necessarily true. Moreover, Lin Chaoci is now in a special state of "cannot be killed". He can't bet on the future. , bet now, it will definitely develop into the destined result in the future. In this case, there is a chance to sit down and talk, why not trust it? Lin Chaoci wants to save some trouble, they want to find a way to survive, these two needs mutually If there is no conflict, why not?
High-end cuisine often uses unpretentious cooking methods.
The same goes for deliberation and negotiation.
The truth is the same.
"Then what do you want?"
Lin Chaoci glanced at the bartender who was still stirring the ice cubes. Immediately, he ignored the resentful look in her eyes, crossed his fingers and raised them in front of him. His long legs in white trousers had been turned into a cross-leg shape. , there is no feeling of restraint at all, he is contented and calm, and added after the sentence just now: "I have said ugly words before, this world is my treasure, if you still It’s not impossible to want to be the emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire, but there is a high probability that you will become the king of the country. I never show mercy to my enemies. If you want to become the emperor, you will surrender immediately when you see that you can’t defeat me. But Don’t blame me for not accepting it.”
After hearing these words, Xu Tianran was not angry at all.
Instead he laughed.
He took another sip of the sweet cocktail.
His tone was full of emotion: "You said that, I feel more and more that you are the right person. The Sun and Moon Empire has long wanted to dominate the world. Not only did it want to become a master, but the emperors of that generation also thought about it. , once and for all, just like a family will not fight over a piece of steak. We are all members of the same country. Even if there is friction, it will not develop to the point where it is today. After more than four thousand years of fighting, we will die. There are countless people, so I am very happy that you have this kind of courage. This shows that you are not a pure idealist. You also have the ability to do things. Even if you don’t have it, you can control some people with your skill of controlling people. It is not difficult for talented people to help you govern the country. The world will become better in your hands, so I will talk about private matters and strive for some benefits for myself..."
