In Jiuxu, apart from Wang Zhiba and his team members, the only people who can call Xiaobai are the two flying tiger and riding children from Xinglin who were tricked by Yunlai into jumping to the star gate.
Hai Fengqiu was worried that he couldn't get first-hand information, so his tongue hit him.
Dongting looked at the two children with a smile as bright as the spring breeze. Bai Zhi glanced at him angrily, suggesting that he should restrain himself.
Dongting enjoyed this white eye very much, and the spring breeze turned into soft waves of spring water under the dark blue and bright sky of Chaojing.
Xiao Meng was so angry when he saw Xiao Bai and the teenage version of Lin Jiu squinting back and forth that he almost wanted to turn around and leave. Xiao Shao pulled him.
"Xiao Meng, Xiao Shao, what a coincidence." Bai Zhi greeted warmly, her accent also carrying the unique rising sound of the Chaojing natives.
I’m not familiar with him, so you’re so enthusiastic and you’re trying to deceive me. Xiao Shao rolled his eyes.
"It's not good to stand here and chat. Let's sit down and chat in front." Dongting pointed to a luxurious restaurant in front. On the outer wall of the restaurant hangs a vertical light sign saying "Pure natural ingredients, carefully prepared nourishing soup by hand".
"I think the food and cooking restaurant opposite his house is pretty good." Xiao Meng declined politely and enthusiastically.
The food in Chaojing is similar to Malatang on Earth, which is to cook various starch balls and soy products and put them in transparent insulated containers and sell them in portions. It is a popular delicacy in the Sea of Stars, although the price is more expensive than miscellaneous bean paste. Dozens of times, but it is much cheaper than luxury food that advertises pure natural ingredients and is handmade.
However, foods such as meatballs whose ingredients cannot be distinguished are not sensitive to Bai Zhi and Dong Ting.
Bai Zhi frowned, "It's better to go to the restaurant and sit down."
"Then we won't be polite." Xiao Shao agreed before Xiao Meng could speak, not hiding his good mood of "Hey, hey, I can finally kill a big dog."
Behind a transparent wall at the entrance of the restaurant is a cage for live birds. The chubby birds, which look like little roosters, are pecking at golden millet grains and running around happily. The open kitchen counter and the dining area with stove are separated by only an aisle. The dining area is large, but there are only four sets of tables and chairs. There were already two tables with guests, one table with five people each eating in a small stew pot. Three guests at another table were drinking tea and chatting. The transparent pressure cooker on the stove beside the table was beeping, and three fat birds with their stomachs stuffed with glutinous rice were floating and sinking.
The waiter led them to sit down and asked respectfully: "Shenghui costs 500 gold for each guest. Should the guest pay the gold or convert it into energy blocks?"
Dongting threw out two bags of market gold without changing his expression, and sadly wrote in the note: If the glutinous rice and chicken soup in this black shop is not delicious, I will destroy the shop.
The friends who saw the note laughed hard. Hai Fengqiu also added: "I have the eight-treasure duck made by my brother-in-law. Let's eat it first as a token of respect."
The waiter left with two heavy bags of market gold. Seven or eight waiters lined up, carrying live poultry, potted ginseng plants, glutinous rice and other ingredients over for the guests to inspect. Dongting nodded, and the team of waiters went to the cooking table to pluck hair, ginseng, and rice. The last waiter brought a pot of barley tea and asked the guests to wait.
"Xiao Bai, isn't Xiao Zhou with you?" Xiao Meng worked hard to play the role of a passionate friend.
"We went shopping separately." Bai Zhi finished answering his question and asked happily: "Where did you come to Chaojing from?"
After cheating people to jump to the Star Gate, you can still be so happy and so calm to ask people where they come from, little white girl, where is your conscience?
Xiao Shao angrily rolled his eyes at the prodigal woman who could easily open three random star gates.
"We randomly arrived at the Hydration Star in the Sea of Stars." Xiao Meng turned into the gentle young man we first met. "Chaojing is quite safe. Do you plan to stay here and wait for your captain to find him?"
Yue Dongting finally got rid of Wang Zhiba and waited for him only when he was out of his mind. Bai Zhi blinked and asked, "Are you two planning to go back to Xinglin?"
Xiao Shao answered angrily: "I can't afford the boat ticket."
"The poor are so pitiful." Dongting smiled very kindly, "You must not be able to afford food. Eat more later."
Ouch, why is this young man Lin Jiu so white-faced? Not only Xiao Shao, but also Xiao Meng couldn't hold back, both of them rolled their eyes at him.
Bai Zhi followed Feng to tease them and said considerately: "A Jin always speaks directly, so don't mind."
Xiao Shao rolled his eyes angrily for the fourth time today.
Xiao Meng smiled stiffly and endured the humiliation and said: "You won't mind. Ah Jin, right? Xiao Bai, you and he have a good relationship, are you also childhood sweethearts?"
"Yes. Xiaobai said that the guy who looks like me was arrested by you. Where is he now? I want to see him." Yue Dongting directly shocked Xiao Meng and Xiao Shao.
Xiao Shao shrugged: "Still in Xinglin."
"I don't think that person will be your brother-in-law." Bai Zhi said seriously in the holiday message, "The age is not right, and the meal I cooked that time was your family's least favorite, and he ate deliciously. "
"My grandfather found out that my uncle was smuggled away hidden in a dormant box... Besides, there is also the possibility of human cloning. Those people have no bottom line at all!"
Dongting was very excited. Bai Zhi felt that Dongting's behavior was not necessarily staged, so she thoughtfully took out a bottle of green plum wine and several small cups from the space card, asked the waiter to add ice cubes to the cups, poured a cup for Dongting, and also for Xiao Meng. He, Xiao Shao and himself each poured a glass.
The amber-colored wine juice ripples in the glass, and the slightly sour and sweet fruity aroma is very attractive.
Dongting drank the entire glass of wine in one breath, took the bottle and poured himself another glass.
Xiao Meng took a sip and was very satisfied and asked: "Is this Xiaobai's home brew?"
"We collected fruits along the way and brewed them ourselves. Fruit wine cannot be stored after it is opened. Please drink some if you like it." Bai Zhi actually prefers rose wine, but Dongting likes green plum wine. There is a fruit in the Doluo Star District that is very similar to green plums, so she took out this bottle of green plum wine.
Xiao Shao had no interest in wine and stubbornly held the cup of barley tea.
The three guests drinking tea and chatting at the next table were very interested when they smelled the wine. The middle-aged man who looked the most stable took out a box of fruit and asked Bai Zhi with a smile: "Can I exchange you for three glasses of wine?"
Bai Zhi nodded with a smile. The middle-aged man asked the waiter to bring over three empty glasses with ice. Bai Zhi poured him three full glasses.
The middle-aged man thanked him and took away the wine on a tray without asking the waiter for help.
Dongting picked up the box of fruit and looked at it. He said with a sigh, "I haven't seen it before. Is it a specialty of Xingxu?"
A total of six fist-sized red date-shaped fruits are arranged in a box with a metal shell covered with a transparent plastic wrap-like lid.
There were more plants that she had never seen since coming here than she knew. Bai Zhi didn't know what they were. Dongting said that she became a little interested. She opened the box and took out one and asked Xiao Meng and Xiao Shao, "This Do you know each other?"
"Our family calls it Bei Hao Guo, it tastes sour and sweet." Xiao Meng turned the cup, "This is a specialty of Haixu. Apart from the taste, there is nothing special about it. However, Haixu doesn't export much to the outside world. It is considered a specialty outside Haixu. It’s a very rare fruit.”
A sentence from "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" suddenly popped up in Bai Zhi's memory, "The first of the Four Classics is also east, called Beihao Mountain, which is close to the North Sea. There are trees, which look like poplars and red flowers, but are actually like jujubes without seeds. , its taste is sour and sweet, and you won’t get malaria after eating it.”
Beihao Mountain has come out, can Kunlun be far behind?
Bai Zhi thought they could go to Haixu for a walk and said with a smile: "Since it's very rare, let's eat it."
She handed the box to the waiter and asked the waiter to wash the slices.
Beihao fruit is similar in appearance to dates, but the texture and taste of the pulp are like pears but more sour. Bai Zhi likes to eat sweet and sour peaches, but is not interested in sour pears. She ate one piece and put it down. Dongting and Xiao Meng both had a taste of it, but Xiao Shao still stubbornly drank his barley tea.
This plate of rare fruit was actually ignored, and the waiters who came and went didn't think it was worth it.
Plum wine and ginseng chicken soup went well together unexpectedly. Bai Zhi took out the second bottle of plum wine and drank it all. Xiao Meng kept praising how delicious the wine was, and even Xiao Shao drank a whole glass.
The three guests who had just exchanged fruit for wine were still unsatisfied after the meal. The middle-aged man came over to discuss with Bai Zhi, "Your fruit wine is very delicious. I wonder if you would be willing to part with some of it for us."
There was still a lot of plum wine. Bai Zhi was looking forward to using one or two bottles to dig out some information about Haixu from this middle-aged man. She smiled and said, "We don't like Bei Hao Guo very much. What else are you going to exchange with me?"
The middle-aged man took out several other boxes of fruits that were also packaged in fresh-keeping iron boxes. They looked like jujubes, cat poop melons and thorn melons, each one longer than the other.
There are no seeds inside the Beihao fruit when cut open. These fruits should also be seeded. Replacing them will be of no use. Bai Zhi shook her head and asked bluntly: "Are there any fruits that look better?"
The middle-aged man was a little embarrassed. Although there were a lot of fruits in his space card, only the four flavors he brought out were the best. This innocent aristocratic girl looked down on the fruits he brought out. She must have Look down on others even more. If he takes out those fruits that don't look good and taste bad, it will be even more embarrassing if people don't want him.
Bai Zhi said with an understanding smile: "This is my first time out of the house. The elders in the family usually don't mention things about Jiuxu. Do you think this is okay? Tell me about Jiuxu. I'll treat you to a few drinks. A glass of wine. In addition to plum wine, I also bring many kinds of fruit wine."
"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders." The middle-aged man made a gesture of invitation, "If you don't mind blowing the wind, let's go sit on the observation deck of Star Nest Tower."
The dock where the small spaceship they were renovating was located at the foot of Chaoshan Mountain. Now there was no need to find an excuse to abduct Xiao Meng and Xiao Shao. Bai Zhi smiled and nodded, then turned to Xiao Meng and said, "Come with us." Let’s chat and drink.”
"That's what I meant." Xiao Mengxiao was gentle and aristocratic.
Bai Zhi expected Xiao Shao to give her the fifth eye roll of the day. Unexpectedly, Xiao Shao's eyes were blurred and he stammered: "I still want to drink."
Chaoshan is located in the southeast of Chaojing. It is a herringbone mountain range. On both sides of the herringbone is the Chaojing Airport, and on the other side is the green, hilly wealthy area. The tip of the trumpet-shaped basin in the middle is the factory of Chaojing Heavy Industry. In this area, the basin gets wider and wider as you go down into the city. More than 20 repair docks in Chaojing are concentrated in this area. Although the small and medium-sized spacecraft parked in these docks are in tatters, when viewed from a high place at night, the lights of the airport and the stars complement each other. The lights of the docks are clustered together, like the waves of stars hitting the rocks. , the night view is already very beautiful. Coupled with the fact that the buildings in the wealthy district are illuminated and the Qionglou Yuyu is as beautiful as a fairyland, the observation deck on the top of the Xingchao Tower, the highest point in Chaojing, has become a very popular and expensive social place.
Before leaving the restaurant, Bai Zhi pretended to send a message to Yun Lai using the communicator on her wrist. A few minutes after they sat down in the best box on the observation deck, Yun Lai and Hai Fengqiu came over together and took out the There were six bottles of fruit wine in an ice bucket, and one man took out a box of snacks to go with wine. With the help of the wine and food, Xiao Shao and Xiao Meng were both drunk. They also succeeded in making the middle-aged man Dong Li and his two companions drunk. They were all half drunk.
Dong Li has actually lived for more than 800 years, and his two companions look younger than him, also over 600 years old. The three of them have been traveling together throughout the Nine Ruins, or looking for opportunities to make another breakthrough, for more than five hundred years. They are more knowledgeable than that old liar Regan, and even more so when they are half-drunk.
Dong Li told a few ignorant kids that the Sea of Stars was only the most prosperous star field in Jiu Xu, but it was not the most important and wealthy place in Jiu Xu. Moreover, the nine characters in Jiu Xu do not actually refer to it, but just describe the meaning of "many". The good people came up with nine ruins: nebula, water, rain, earth, wood, wind, wilderness, and fire. In fact, there are also star fields such as Haixu and mountain ruins that can only be reached through private star gates, as well as some natural stars that can only be opened at regular intervals or randomly. In the star field where the gate reaches, precious breakthrough resources are hidden behind those natural star gates.
One of the several families that controls the private star gate to Haixu is Dong Li’s family, the Dong family. Haixu, like Jiuxu, lacks energy, but is relatively rich in natural resources, and there are more than 20 regular or random star gates in the Haixu star area. With the natural star gate opened, a huge number of noble children from the 60th District came to Haixu to seek a breakthrough.
Because no one knows whether the guy you want to rob has a three-hundred-year-old brother, a five-hundred-year-old aunt, an eight-hundred-year-old aunt, and how many relatives. Hai Xu is not as chaotic as most places in Jiu Xu. In times of crisis, more people are willing to lend a helping hand than to add insult to injury. Haixu's interactions with people are much more sincere. The families that control the Star Gate, no matter what their private methods, try their best to show their goodwill to the outside world.
When they parted, Dong Li generously gave Bai Zhi several star gate locations that would be opened in the next few years, and Bai Zhi also generously gave back a box of home-brewed wine.
Dongting was very heartbroken and opened a suite in a nearby hotel. The friends helped Xiao Meng and Xiao Shao into the room, turned on the shielding field, and then tied them to chairs.
Dongting added a few pinches of yellow lotus to the sobering soup. After drinking a small bowl of soup, Xiao Shao was still intoxicated, but Xiao Meng gradually sobered up. Hai Fengqiu and Yun Lai locked Xiao Shao in a metal cabinet he made and took him elsewhere for interrogation.
After Xiao Meng woke up, he kept looking at Bai Zhi aggrievedly.
"Stop acting." Bai Zhi bit the lollipop loudly, "I ask you, don't play tricks. If what you tell me is different from Xiao Shao, you two will be dead."
"Xiao Bai, you are speechless when you ask questions like this." Xiao Meng didn't show any fear at all.
Yue Dongting stretched out his fingers, and a long brown wooden thorn grew from the tip of his right finger, and a black and purple plant grew from the tip of his left finger. He poked the purple and black plant with the wooden thorn, and pierced the wooden thorn into the small hole with a smile. Meng's shoulders.
"Ah!" Xiao Meng screamed loudly, sweating like rain, and his face turned pale and blue.
"The first request is to tell us the data extraction code you received about us." Bai Zhi shook Xiao Meng's miniature brain, "I'm not interested in your Feihu.qi's internal affairs, so I won't I’ve cracked your brain. You can choose to cooperate with me now, or you can choose not to say anything and watch us violently crack it. When the time comes..."
"dtt5ty5."
Bai Zhi outputs the extraction code, packages the extracted files and sends them to her mobile phone, sharing them with her friends.
The information that Feilongqi official sent to Feihu.qi official only had the genetic map and analysis report of Bai Zhi, and the other people only had their names and photos. The request is also very simple, asking Fei □□ to help find someone. However, Feihu Qifan's task requirement for Xiao Meng is to find and try to gain Bai Zhi's favor, become Bai Zhi's close partner, and persuade Bai Zhi to go to Xingying Capital, the capital of the ancient Tang Empire. Xiao Meng's boss repeatedly reminded Xiao Meng to keep secrets and not let the Dragon Riders know where Xiao Bai was.
"Close partner?" Dongting sneered and poked Xiao Meng again.
Xiao Meng was very stubborn this time. He was sweating like rain but gritted his teeth and insisted on not screaming. He could also mock Yue Dongting: "Are you jealous? What are you doing with Xiao Bai?"
Dongting changed the formula and gave it to Xiao Meng again. Xiao Meng howled miserably.
Bai Zhi was checking Xiao Meng's identity information and discovered that he actually had the title of Marquis of Yongning and was the sixty-first son of King Zhenping of the ancient Tang Empire.
Although Prince Zhenping of the ancient Tang Dynasty had many sons, it was still a bit troublesome to kill his sons. Bai Zhi persuaded Dongting to stop, "I haven't finished asking yet, don't kill people."
Dongting snorted and gave Xiao Meng some painkillers.
Xiao Meng breathed for a while, and before Bai Zhi could ask, he took the initiative and said: "Xiao Bai, I have a lover, and I have never wanted to be your close partner. I accepted this task because the chance of meeting you in Jiuxu is too high." Low. I would definitely be in trouble if I explicitly rejected my lover."
"It's really touching. It turns out that you can't help yourself." Bai Zhi smiled and said, "I have an unpleasant truth for you. You don't even have the ability to say no, and you can only help yourself again and again."
Xiao Meng's face turned red.
"Where is Lin Jiu?" Bai Zhi gently knocked on the table with his micro brain, "I'm really looking forward to a brute force attack."
At the same time, in the small spaceship, Hao Xing has obtained Xiao Shao's miniature brain and space cards, and is looking through Xiao Shao's things to find the password to open the brain.
Zhang Tianzhao and Hao Lang were still nervously modifying the spacecraft. Hai Fengqiu and Yun Lai are interrogating Xiao Shao.
"Lin Jiu escaped on the way to the handover. We were looking for him before the bomb exploded." Xiao Meng noticed Bai Zhi frowning slightly and immediately said, "Since you are also investigating the Lin family, we can cooperate."
"Cooperation is not impossible. Let me see your sincerity and your ability first." Bai Zhi sneered at Xiao Meng. It was impossible for her to be with someone who already had a lover and could accept the breeding task "involuntarily" cooperating.
"The Lin family used to be just an inconspicuous small family and did not have much influence in the Xinglin ruins. More than thirty years ago, they excavated a newly discovered ruins with the Lin family and the Song family and discovered a well-preserved small spaceship and A star gate that just happened to allow a small spacecraft to pass through. They opened the star gate and let the best disciples take the spaceship away. Not long after, the spacecraft came back, bringing back a large amount of supplies and slaves."
"The star gate is still there?" Bai Zhi was a little excited. It must be the star gate to the earth, a star gate that can come and go from the earth. Although she has no need to return to Earth now, what about the future? She and the descendants of her kind have a need for meteorites, maybe they need to go back?
"Those alien species brought back by the Lin family can easily contaminate any gene. The first thing we did when we discovered the star gate was to dismantle it. In this way, even if someone gets the components of this star gate and puts it back together, the re-opened star gate will still arrive Can’t find the original place.”
Bai Zhi thought of the two skeletons Xiaolin took away and the rows of urns, "The Star Gate was dismantled after Feihu Cavalry sent people there?"
"Yes. The flying tiger spirit is with us. Now you are willing to cooperate with us." Xiao Meng smiled, feebly and confidently.
Bai Zhi still shook her head, "I will let you go. Although the few times my partner poked you just now will not have any sequelae, I will still compensate you, but I will not cooperate with you, because you can't help yourself, and you can't help yourself." Because of Feihu Qi who issued the mission to you."
Xiao Meng could only smile bitterly.
Dongting knew what Bai Zhi wanted to do, so he untied the tree vines that bound Xiao Meng, got up and went to the next door.
Bai Zhi thought, since they can come here, and the space equipment of the Ji family and the Feng family can become commodities here, then the matter of the insect people will not always be a secret, and people here will know sooner or later. Then there would be no problem if she took out the space bag from the Imperial Academy of Sciences.
Bai Zhi opened a wardrobe, used the cabinet door to block Xiao Meng's sight, took out two space bags, put some food in them, and put them on the table, "These two space bags...we killed a group of people." The trophies of a humanoid insect with an IQ similar to that of a human being. This humanoid insect will eat anything and its reproductive capacity is so terrible that we don’t even dare to leave alive or dead bodies.”
Revealing so much information should be enough. Compared with the whereabouts of a wood type who gave birth to a child, insect people are a more harmful species than "alien species". It is impossible for Feihu Qi to know and not investigate. Feihu and Feilongqi will not be idle even when riding. They all have business to take care of, so who cares about them?
"The space bag has been cleaned. I saw the same style of it in the department store in Dayu City. You can use it with confidence. When we meet again, just pretend that we don't know each other." Bai Zhi ignored Xiao Meng's expression and patted her hands. Hui shouted: "You can bring Xiao Shao here."
Yun Lai carried the limp little Shao over and threw him on the sofa.
"Let's go." Bai Zhi took Yun Lai's arm and placed Xiao Meng's brain on the table.
After Bai Zhi and the others left, Xiao Shao changed from his soft and slumped state, sat up from the sofa in a lively manner, and asked, "What did she tell you?"
"She dug a big hole for me." Xiao Meng handed a bag to Xiao Shao, "Look at the difference between this bag and the new bag your brother got last month."
"The space is bigger. Oh, there are still things inside." Xiao Shao took out everything in the bag. There were a total of six boxes of canned fruits and canned meat from the Duluo star area in the two bags, as well as two boxes of Duluo star. Luo's most famous jade cake.
Whether it's this space bag or these pure natural foods. All are the most expensive.
"Little Feilong really likes to be slapped in the face with money." Xiao Shao happily packed the food back and stuffed a bag into his backpack.
"This is Xiaobai's apology." Xiao Meng also put away the other bag, "Since you accepted it, don't write in the report that you met her in Chaojing."
Xiao Shao nodded. Although the few times Xiao Zhou poked him caused him pain, the pain was not as great as the pain he suffered during normal training. Using a very rare space bag that can be used for hundreds or thousands of years to apologize is very sincere and he will not refuse. He saw Xiao Meng clasping the smart brain on his wrist, and subconsciously touched his wrist, only to find that his smart brain was missing. He hurriedly touched the space card tied to his belt and got nothing!
"What's wrong?" Xiao Meng asked.
"My brain and space cards are gone!" Xiao Shao was shocked and angry. He was shocked because he didn't know when his things were gone, and angry because he violated the regulations and recorded his brain in the notepad. The startup code, and the notepad is in the space card!
"When was the last time you used your brain?" Xiao Meng was also very nervous.
"After passing the star gate, I took off my chemical protective suit and changed my clothes." Xiao Shao felt guilty. It had been several days. He really didn't know when his space card and brain disappeared.
Hao Xing happily showed Xiao Shao's identity information to his friends, "The power-on password is actually written in the will. There is no use for me this time."
"It's another marquis. Didn't the ancient Tang Empire have as many marquis as dogs and princes everywhere?" Haifengqiu clicked on Xiao Shao's family tree. When he saw the small red words "heroic spirit" next to Shao XX that filled the screen, he was stunned for a moment and clicked. One page, the second page is still full of red heroes.
Bai Zhi's focus is on Xiao Shao's property. Xiao Shao's credit account password is the Zhinao power-on password. There is less than 10,000 Tang ancient coins in it. Apart from this little deposit, he has no private property in his name.
"If the entire Tang Empire's nobles were full of heroes like the Shao family..." Zhang Tianzhao shrugged, "We'd better capture Qi Haoyu and the others and take them home to farm."
The alarm on Bai Zhi's light screen suddenly sounded. Hao Xing quickly disconnected the network and said, "This thing must have a location. Hao Lang, throw it away quickly. We will leave Chaojing immediately."
Hao Lang put on his gloves and held Zhinao. The white light flashed and Zhinao disappeared.
Hao Lang, Zhang Tianzhao and Hai Fengqiu were busy at the control desk for a while, and the small spacecraft slowly took off.
There happened to be a fleet of small spaceships taking off at Chaojing Airport. Zhang Tianzhao controlled the small spacecraft to bite the fleet. At first glance, he seemed to be a member of the fleet.
Several battleships spray-painted with the Flying Tiger and Rider logo flew out of the star gate. Behind them were two Flying Dragon Rider battleships. These warships flew not far away and then turned around and lined up at the end of the fleet heading to Yunxu.
The small fleet of boats spread out near the star gate, and the "Drinking Water for Sale" light sign on the boat's hull was lit at the same time.
The only small spaceship without lights shrunk in gray at the end of the queue, which was particularly embarrassing and eye-catching.
