The laughter and singing seemed to be still echoing in my ears, and my brain seemed to have been stuffed into a blender, buzzing and roaring, and I had a splitting headache.
"hiss..."
Lin Chou took a breath and rubbed his forehead for a long time before getting up from the bed.
"I...how much did I drink last night?"
This man wanted to have friends all over the world when he drank. He could even persuade a pig to have a drink when he met him. Lin Chou vaguely felt that he was embarrassed.
I touched an obsidian kettle from the bedside and drank a few sips. Only then did I feel better. I couldn't help but look at the room:
This is a room that is very characteristic of Luanshan. It is transparent and has no walls in all directions. It is only hung with silk and white gauze. There is only a large bed and supporting stone pillars at the four corners in the whole room, and nothing else.
The ground is covered with thick animal skin carpets that extend to every corner, and a fist-sized pearl hangs from the roof, shining gentle light throughout the room.
Lin Chou curiously touched the pearl with his hand. The pearl flickered for a moment, then suddenly dimmed and turned into obsidian, the same material as the roof.
Touch it again and it becomes bright again.
"This... black technology..."
The traces on the obsidian on the roof show that this stone house was cut out with knives and axes. The style of the entire room is grand, rough and wild.
Leaning on the stone pillar and looking out, I realized that I was at a very high place. The thick clouds and mist beneath my feet were rippling like water waves, and the deep obsidian peaks were like bamboo shoots, rising above the clouds and mist.
Farther away, Luan Mountain, which connects heaven and earth, is in sight. The golden palace at the top of the mountain shines with extremely gorgeous golden light.
Lin Chou felt as if drool was dripping from the corner of his mouth, "Mmp, isn't the entire hall plated with gold?"
"My king's palace is made of pure gold, so why should it be gilded?" A woman's voice suddenly came from behind.
"Fuck!"
Lin Chou hurriedly tore off a section of the silk curtain and surrounded herself.
"Don't you know how to knock on the door first? And... when will you change your tone of voice? My teeth are sore from hearing it."
Ye Yu was silent for a while, then a sonorous sound came from the heavy armored helmet,
"I am the commander of the Luanshan Army, and as the example of my king, I..."
Lin Chou had a headache.
"Wait a minute, that's not what you said yesterday when you drank too much, right?"
"snort."
Ye Yu's tone finally became a little normal.
"I have never seen a man who can drink so much. You are good."
Lin Chou vaguely remembered that he had drunk a lot of wine yesterday, but after that...he was very hopeless.
The only feeling I have now is that as soon as I mention the word "wine", something surges out of my stomach.
"..."
Lin Chou moved forward and reached out to knock on Ye Yu's heavy armor.
"Obsidian? Is this thing strong?"
Ye Yu said,
"The legion commander's armor is baptized by the light of the sacred object and cannot be broken unless he exceeds the rank."
"Oh...what time is it now?"
"You slept all day and night, and your two companions haven't woken up yet."
"..." Lin Chou rubbed his stomach, "No wonder you are so hungry, two companions? Where is the other one?"
"The female guest who came with you did not drink. It seems that she is very interested in those useless gold and silver and wants to do some transactions with Luan Shan."
"Then...ahem, where are Zuoan and your queen?"
Ye Yu was silent for a long time.
"My king and Zuo An just returned to the palace to sleep before you woke up."
Lin Chou gnashed his teeth at the flowers,
"My Shanye is amazing...cough cough cough..."
Ye Yu snorted,
"My king told me before that if you wake up, I can take you to visit Luanshan City, and you can leave at any time."
"Wait for the tour or something. Are you in charge of the food here?"
...
In a building at the foot of the Golden Palace, Lin Chou, Shen Feng, and Bai Qiongshou gathered together around a long table to fill their empty stomachs.
The maids serving dishes were so busy that they were dripping with sweat, and the potted plants curled their lips as they looked at them.
Not only the potted plants, there are several pairs of eyes in every corner paying attention to the indoor situation.
"Oh my god, it's such a huge appetite. That bearded man must have eaten as much as a cow!"
"Tsk, tsk, look at the skinny little one next to him. He ate more than a dozen whole chickens, and there were no bones left."
"I heard that Mingguang has a population of tens of millions. How can women afford to support them?"
"You're so stupid. It must be that the women in Mingguang don't eat enough. Maybe they can live well just by drinking water every day."
"..."
Shen Feng spread his big hands,
"Hey, this is delicious, and these elbows, give me three more!"
"Okay Mr. Shen."
The two maids worked together to lift the elbow on the huge silver plate in front of him.
"What kind of meat is this?"
The maid said, "It's the hind leg meat of the capybara."
Shen Feng agreed, "Oh..."
After eating almost dozens or hundreds of food that only ordinary people could eat, the dishes on the more than ten meter long table were changed four times before the three of them were full.
"belch!"
Bai Qiongshou burped, "Comfortable."
After enjoying a few glasses of sweet and sour juice, Bai Qiongshou unceremoniously asked to visit Luanshan City. When he came, he only had a cursory look at it from the sky. Since he had this opportunity, there was no need to use it in vain.
Accompanied by Ye Yu and two female warriors, the four of them walked around Luan Mountain.
Luanshan is different from Mingguang. There are almost no vendors doing business on the streets, and there are no garrison troops patrolling all the time. Roads extend in all directions and you can go anywhere without any restrictions on guard posts.
Even if Lin Chou suddenly proposed to visit a house, Ye Yu nodded in agreement without hesitation.
A slightly senile woman, two very tall but not too tall women, and three little girls with mischievous eyes, this is the entire composition of the family.
Lin Chou and others obviously came at the wrong time. The family was gathering around the table to have lunch.
Shen Feng greeted him carelessly, "Hi, everyone, have you eaten?"
The little girls screamed together,
"Wow, mom, mom, aunt, man, man!"
"There is a man in our house!"
"Catch them, catch them, one for my aunt, and the other two will be child brides for my sister and me!"
The youngest girl pouted and said, "What about me? What about me? What should I do?"
The older girl said disdainfully,
"Let's go, no matter how big or small, Kong Rong let Li know. Of course, my sister and I will come first."
"oh..."
The little girl let out an aggrieved cry, her eyes filled with tears, and she almost cried on the spot.
"Naughty!"
The older woman rewarded several little girls one by one, and each one of them lost her head. She said with a smile,
"Lord Legion Commander, please come in as well as distinguished guests."
Ye Yu nodded and said nothing. She stood at the door, waiting for Lin Chou and the others to "visit".
Bai Qiongshou and Shen Feng whispered,
"It seems to be nothing, just like an ordinary family, except that there is no man."
"I didn't even see any decent soldiers along the way... Where are those people?"
Lin Chou didn't know what to say when he saw the two of them, so he had to bite the bullet and said,
"Ahem, sorry to bother you, we just have a look, haha, just take a look."
The shorter of the two young women said,
"Your welcome, distinguished guest."
Then the two of them bowed their hands to Ye Yu again,
"My subordinate Ye Qing, the deputy captain of the Sixth Squadron of the First Legion, has met the Legion Commander."
"My subordinate Ye Zi, the captain of the sixth team of the First Legion, has met the Legion Commander."
Ye Yu slowly shook her head,
"There is no need to bow down before the war."
"Yes, sir."
When Lin Chou heard this, he also saw two sets of obsidian armor hanging high on racks in the lobby of the main room opposite the courtyard gate.
Unlike Ye Yu's full-body heavy armor, this armor only protected the fatal parts, and the rest was connected with animal skins, making it a lightweight leather armor.
"You also want to fight?"
Ye Qing looked at Lin Chou in surprise, "Does Mingguang have no enemies?"
"..."
Lin Chou also realized that his question was actually a bit silly.
At this time, a man's voice suddenly came from the side room.
Although it was a bit sharp, it was indeed a man's voice.
"Come on, come on, wife, sister-in-law, let me show you my craftsmanship, Mingguang Jiushan Palace's secret chicken, eat it once and I guarantee you will never forget it... hiss... damn it It’s hot..."
The door of the side room opened, and a figure with a gauze covering his head walked out carrying a large plate of dishes.
Ye Qing stepped forward and grabbed the dish with his hands.
"Brother-in-law, my sister has told you so many times not to hold the baking sheet directly with your hands. Your physique is too weak."
Ye Zi snorted,
"Qing'er, don't worry about him. He won't have a long memory if he doesn't suffer a few losses."
Even so, I handed him the towel soaked in cold water.
"Wipe it quickly. The skin is so tender and the meat is so tender. What should I do if it gets burned?"
"..."
Lin Chou and the other two people looked at him with big eyes and small eyes, dumbfounded.
The man then turned his head,
"Is there a guest at home? Oh, the regimental commander didn't even say a word when he came... Hey, whose man is this? He doesn't know how to wear a headscarf when he goes out, so he's not afraid of being robbed by those gangsters. ?"
After thinking for a while, he smiled again, "Oh, he must be the legion leader's man. No wonder no one without eyesight dares to snatch it... Hehe."
He stretched out his hand,
"I, Wang Di Lai, are meeting you for the first time. We will come here often to play. We can play Pai Gow or play Landlord."
He raised his hand in front of Bai Qiongshou for a long time. Bai Qiongshou seemed unaware, and Wang Dilai's face didn't look so good.
"Brother, are you very arrogant? The commander of the army has taken a liking to you, and you can't..."
Bai Qiongshou suddenly stretched out his hand and took Wang Dilai's hand.
"Crack!"
Wang Dilai's complexion changed, and a white light suddenly appeared on his body.
Ye Qing and Ye Zi suddenly stood up, Ye Yu waved her hands,
"nothing."
Bai Qiong sneered,
"What a third-level mutant...I am Bai Qiongshou, the captain of the Blades."
Wang Dilai's face fell instantly.
"White...domestic head?"
"Replacement guaranteed."
Wang Di came and said,
"Mr. Bai, you were also arrested? No matter what, I heard that Master Shan has become the Prince of the Left Bank. Unfortunately, there are too many gangsters and lawless people outside. We don't dare to take the risk to attend the wedding ceremony... Sigh, Mr. Bai, you are lucky. Even though the Legion Commander looks fierce, he is either wearing a helmet or a mask or painting scary patterns all day long, but it is said that he is actually a great beauty... He has never taken a wife or a concubine. , so, you know...hahaha..."
The corners of Bai Qiongshou's mouth twitched. Is this person a talkative person?
"The task force was assigned to be wiped out. Are you willing to be a cook here?"
Wang Dilai was even more surprised.
“What kind of guy??”
He straightened his back and hugged Ye Zi, and said proudly, "This is my wife!"
Ye Zi rolled her eyes, while Ye Qing and the three little girls kept laughing.
Bai Qiong laughed angrily,
"Your wife? The lives of thousands of people have darkened your heart, right? You don't care about anything just to live?"
Wang Dilai glanced up and down.
"Master Bai, are you stupid? What about the lives of tens of thousands of people? Except for a small number of unlucky ones in the task force, they are all alive and well."
"..."
Wang Dilai asked secretly, "Master Bai, have you just been released from the cellar?"
"What cellar?"
"Then where are you being held?"
"I wasn't caught!"
Wang Dilai opened his mouth in disbelief, "Then, how did you get here? Mingguang sent someone here again?"
"It's a long story, so you'd better tell it yourself."
Wang Dilai scratched his head,
"Ahem, it's actually nothing. After I fainted in the fog, when I woke up, I was in a dark cellar. I couldn't hear or see anything, and I don't know how long it took before I was taken out. "
"There were probably a few hundred to a thousand people with me. They asked us to gather in the square and told us that we could choose to leave or live here."
"The way to leave is still the same way. It can be said that rushing in the first time is a fluke. No one will be stupid enough to go out and die a second time."
"There are almost no men here. All the brothers have become meat and potatoes. The little girls from Wuyang Wuyang are fighting because of us. Hehe... You have never seen that kind of bread in your life. I have never lived like this in my whole life." Enriched."
Bai Qiongshou's tone can simply be described as heavy.
Wang Dilai snapped his fingers,
"It's all my fault, brother, for my face. Alas... I didn't know it before, but now I know it."
"If being handsome is a crime, then I, the King, will definitely be punished with the death penalty!"
"..."
"If you pick out any second-order evolver from this place, he can at least deal with two or three Mingguangs. Thousands of women may not be able to get a man, and they may be beaten by the gangsters outside. How can someone like me dare to show his face and go out?"
It's just that his face doesn't look "bitter" at all. On the contrary, he is very proud.
Bai Qiong pinched his eyebrows and said, "You don't want to go back?"
Wang Di came with a sneer on his face,
"There were hundreds of them, they took their equipment and drove away...The results are as you can imagine."
"If you ask me, there is nothing bad about this place. There are no heavy taxes from the commission, no intrigues, no worries about food and clothing, and a beautiful wife. I will get a few babies in a few years, but it will not be much better than fighting in the wilderness... Having said that, there is nothing to worry about in Mingguang. Most of the people who are assigned tasks have no worries and can feed the whole family without being hungry. Who would think of going back to Mingguang and risking life and death? What are you doing, can you have such good luck next time you are assigned a task?"
"The most important thing is that here, you are raising an uncle at home, playing mahjong and gossiping, and the women who have not yet broken your tongue poke your spine, because all this is natural. No man will be laughed at if he shows up in public."
"The only thing you need to worry about here is never take off your headscarf, because you may cause a disturbance because of your handsomeness."
Bai Qiong was completely speechless.
Shen Feng said dullly, "You've adapted very quickly, haven't you?"
Wang Dilai patted his chest,
"Brother, you are wrong. Surviving a catastrophe is bound to lead to good fortune."
