Xiliang, Jiuquan.
Wu Xiaolou, the leader of Wuwei's "Little House Outside the City" gang, has been here for two or three days, just to find the whereabouts of the immortal Yun Zhonghe and Qingcheng Xiu.
The past ten days seemed like a lifetime ago to Wu Xiaolou.
The day I first met the Immortal, I was setting up a stall outside the city, selling the fragments of the Kunlun Ruins magic weapon for 100 Wen each. The Immortal bought all the fragments with a fresh demon pill and asked me to give them to the Immortal Forging Tower in the city. It can be crafted in the furnace, but it takes seven days to create. As a result, the immortal did not stay for seven days before disappearing. Although the immortal also said that if it is too late to give it to him, give it to yourself. But if it were given away directly, wouldn’t the immortal relationship be broken?
On the seventh day, Wu Xiaolou received the reforged magic weapon-Kunwu Sword based on the invoice!
The allusion of this knife probably comes from Dongfang Shuo's "Records of Ten Continents in the Sea": during the period of King Mu of Zhou Dynasty, a precious knife was paid tribute by the Western barbarians, and it cut jade as if it were mud. Of course, this one should be just a replica. Even so, Wu Xiaolou's ranking instantly increased to the current 491st, making him one of the top 500.
With this knife, it didn't make much sense for Wu Xiaolou to continue to stay in the city as an errand agent, so he handed over the business to the deputy gang leader.
Just then, Tang Xiaoqiao, the deputy leader of the Dragon Slaying Gang, suddenly discovered that the immortal was no longer there, as well as Zhao E and Ma Yunlu at that time. Feeling anxious, he assigned a few businessmen to look for the surrounding areas. Wu Xiaolou decided to go to the farthest place. Looking for him in Jiuquan, after all, Zhao E came from Jiuquan.
At the same time, Wu Xiaolou also feels that he is the de facto second person in Xiliang. At least he is more powerful than the female player Tang Xiaoqiao. He should also do what high-end players should do - explore unknown high-end maps!
Jiuquan, in the current world of the Three Kingdoms of Immortals and Demons, is the northwestmost border county known to players. To the west are the vast countries of the Western Regions. Although the Han Dynasty once established the "Western Region Changshi Mansion", it was also the strongest in the Wei Kingdom. In the heyday of the territory, the administrative office also went deep into Loulan in Lop Nur. But in the current situation where the heroes are divided, the Western Region is unknown to players.
Because Jiuquan is a small county, players cannot start here directly, and because it is too far away and there are Qiang horse thieves running rampant, it is difficult for players to come here. Not to mention that this place is underdeveloped and there seems to be no benefit in coming here.
So Wu Xiaolou was the first player to come to Jiuquan.
As soon as we got there, we found that the tavern here was quite luxurious, especially the sound of singing, dancing, and harp music could be heard from a few streets away.
Then I immediately learned that there was a rumor that there was a peerless orchid named Pianfeng in the restaurant!
Pianfeng! !
Wu Xiaolou was really shocked. Is this a figure from the Three Kingdoms? She is the concubine of Shi Chong, a powerful man in the Western Jin Dynasty! That is, the Shi Chong in the negative teaching material of "Shi Chong and Wang Kai fight for wealth".
However, after careful calculation, Shi Chong was indeed born at the end of the Three Kingdoms period and participated in the operation to destroy Wu. During this period, the wealthy merchants who robbed and robbed the Wu Kingdom instantly became extremely rich.
Shi Chongji's thousands of concubines were all extremely beauties. Because there were so many beauties, the ones who persuaded the guests to drink were also beauties. If the guests refused to drink, Shi Chong would kill the drinking beauties on the spot.
But even so, Shi Chong still has two favorite beauties. One is the famous beauty Lv Zhu, who is as beautiful as an immortal. The princes of the Western Jin Dynasty rebelled frequently. After Shi Chong lost power, his enemies came to ask for green beads. Shi Chong offered up all the other peerless beauties, and his enemies specified the green beads. When Shi Chong refused, Lu Zhu committed suicide by jumping off the building. The enemy also took this opportunity to exterminate Shi Chong's three clans and ransack his home.
There is a special "Legend of Green Pearl" that talks about this matter, and "The Legend of Green Pearl" is appended to another biography of a beautiful woman, "The Legend of Pian Feng".
Pianfeng is a Hu girl, maybe a mixed breed of Han and Hu. Shi Chong bought her and adopted her when she was ten years old. When she was fifteen, she became the most beautiful woman in the world. Pianfeng was not only good at writing, but also had the unique skill of appraising treasures. , the history of various jade stones can be told just by hearing and touching them.
Shi Chong asked her: "A hundred years from now, I will bury you as a sacrifice. Are you willing?"
Pianfeng replied: "It is better to live and die without love than to live without love. How can I die if I die for you?"
It probably means that she died for love and became immortal, so Shi Chong loved her even more. As a result, when Pianfeng started to lose her beauty at the age of thirty, more new beauties began to slander her, saying why Hu Nu was not good enough, so she fell out of favor. But a lyric written by Pianfeng when he fell out of favor still became popular in the music world that year.
…
Generally speaking, it is difficult to meet female stars or famous ladies. This is the case with Ma Yunlu. She is very famous in Wuwei City, but there are not many situations where I actually see her. Those situations a few days ago were really a bonus.
For the players of the Three Kingdoms of Immortals and Demons, getting a female general talisman is the most satisfying pursuit. Zhao E and Ma Yunlu are suddenly gone, so Pian Feng must fight for it. She can't run around on horseback, right?
At this time, Wu Xiaolou felt that he was the second person in Xiliang and had the qualifications to pursue her!
As a result, when I entered the door, I discovered that Pianfeng was in a luxurious private room on the second floor, which ordinary people could not see. Wu Xiaolou is only among the top 500, not the top 50, and of course there is no hope.
But it doesn't matter, Zhao E has a son, Zhao Qiao. Zhao Qiao is very loyal, but his work is not important enough. The reason why he can be passed down is because the son takes advantage of his mother's honor.
So after inquiring from his neighbors, Wu Xiaolou soon found the shining star Zhao Kuai in the countryside, a young and middle-aged knight with a dignified appearance, a burly figure and an upright appearance!
Wu Xiaolou was very confused. Although he knew that the world was full of stars, he really couldn't imagine how a heroic young heroine like Zhao E could have a son who looked much older than her. And it is even more unimaginable that such a shining knight is actually farming? Of course, it is unimaginable that Zhao E actually lives in the countryside. How can ordinary players find it?
However, I am the second player in Xiliang, not an ordinary player. In short, let’s make friends with Zhao Chuan first and spend a day helping him plow two acres of land.
Zhao Chuan is indeed chivalrous and easy to talk to. He wants to invite Wu Xiaolou, a rookie who is not afraid of hardships and dangers, to come to the city for a drink.
Is this the treatment for the first player in this city? Just like the first player to see Lu Bu and Liu Bei will be rewarded no matter how well they perform. And when you go to the city to drink, isn't it the restaurant in Pianfeng?
Just thinking about the high consumption there, which he, a farmer, could not afford, Wu Xiaolou felt that he should invite it himself. After all, he was the leader of the gang, and the funds he applied for from Tang Xiaoqiao alone were quite a lot.
As a result, it was only after he entered the city that he developed. This Zhao Chuan is simply a social nerd. He only eats more. All kinds of pedestrians and shop owners have to say hello to him, especially those who don’t look kindly at Wu Xiaolou when they enter the city. The ranger gangster immediately came over to apologize and kowtow.
Wu Xiaolou suspected that he entered the restaurant for free!
Sure enough, the restaurant owner came out to invite him in person. Only then did Wu Xiaolou know that it was Zhao Chuanxing who repelled several waves of horse thieves, saved the restaurant owner's motorcade, and so on.
Wu Xiaolou suspected that he could call Pianfeng out to accompany him at any time!
However, Wu Xiaolou thought wrong this time. Zhao Chuan did not go to the second floor, nor did he call the singer to accompany him. He just ate and drank.
I have to say, if Pianfeng is really called down, how is he any different from a bully who bullies men and women? This also shows that Zhao E's reputation is well-deserved and her tutor is passable.
Then we talked about life, ideals, and good friends! Wu Xiaolou knew that Brother Jianye who had been on the forum these days was sworn sworn friends with Qu'a. Wu Xiaolou suspected that if he continued to brag about him like this, it would be possible for him to become sworn friends.
However, Zhao Chuohe suddenly let it slip that his ideal was to marry Pianfeng! But my mother wouldn’t let me!
this……
Wu Xiaolou is also in a dilemma. how to say? If Ma Yunlu loves Zhao Yun, it is also a fate setting in the novel. So Qian Qiuxue, a girl from Chengdu, took advantage of this opportunity and sent Zhao Yun's embroidered handkerchief to Ma Yunlu to celebrate his birthday, and she also received a big business order.
But Zhao Yue had no connection with Pian Feng at all. He fell in love just because he was born in the same place? It feels very inconsistent...
So today, it's already past midnight, and Zhao Chuan is still drunk because of this matter.
While I was in a state of confusion, an exclamation from the nurse came from outside the restaurant: "He's appeared, come and see, the Kunlun Immortal Boat!"
this? Wu Xiaolou has heard about it, but hasn’t seen it yet.
I hurriedly ran out of the tavern and saw that in the night sky far away on the horizon, the lights of a city like an alien space fortress were shining brightly!
Wu Xiaolou's shock can be imagined. Maybe it's time to talk to Zhao Yu about his true ideals.
