Chapter 558: Meeting (2)
Northern Yunnan was fertile, sparsely populated, and had abundant water and grass. It was located in the northernmost part of the border area.
The Luo River ran through the entire northern Yunnan from the north. The river water nourished the land here and isolated it from the world. It had its own peace and prosperity.
The people of Northern Dian only supported their King of Northern Dian and had a relatively strong sense of nationalism.
This was also one of the reasons why Nangong Xiao was unable to completely subdue Dian Bei.
After learning that Huo Hannian had arrived in North Dian, the King of North Dian invited him to the palace.
The golden walls of the palace hall were as luxurious as the royal family of the Nether Kingdom.
King Dianbei’s name was Zhou Heng. He was tall and strong, and his face was full of beard. His face could not be seen clearly, but he had a pair of deep blue eyes, a high nose bridge, and lips of moderate thickness.
He exuded the powerful aura of a formidable hero.
He sat on a yellow rosewood chair covered with tiger skin. He gestured to Huo Hannian and Mo Zhan to sit down.” Please please sit down, distinguished guests.””
Zhou Heng had once been assassinated in Nirvana and was saved by Master Leng, so he was quite warm to Huo Hannian.
Huo Hannian and Mo Zhan sat down. Zhou Heng raised his hand, and a maid immediately served the dishes on an exquisite tray.
The last dish was an exquisite dessert.
Mo Zhan asked curiously,” Northern King, I remember that this kind of snack isn’t popular here?”
Zhou Heng laughed heartily.” It’s not popular. Our food culture here is rather crude and we don’t pay much attention to it. This snack was made by my princess consort.”
“Try it!”
Huo Hannian and Mo Zhan picked up their chopsticks and took a bite each.
Mo Zhan nodded.” The taste is not bad. It’s a first-grade snack for the Royal Dragon of Nidu!””
Mo Zhan hadn’t eaten delicious food for a few days after rushing all the way from Nidu. He thought that he wasn’t used to eating things in Northern Yunnan, but the taste was not bad.
Huo Hannian took a bite of the dessert. The sweetness was just right, and it was crispy. It was indeed not bad.
However…
He vaguely felt that the taste was somewhat familiar, as if he had eaten it somewhere before!
He ate some other dishes, and his eyebrows furrowed even more.
He didn’t know if it was his imagination, but most of the dishes were the ones he liked.
“Northern King, were these dishes personally made by the princess consort?”Huo Hannian asked in a low voice.
Lord Dianbei pointed at a few of them.” These are all… Why? They don’t suit Young Master Leng’s taste?””
“No, it’s to my liking.”
“That’s good. Come, eat more!”
After eating and drinking to their heart’s content, King Dianbei asked the dancers to come over to liven things up.
Huo Hannian looked at it for a while and rubbed his temples with his long fingers. He looked a little drunk.
When Lord Dianbei saw this, he waved his hand to interrupt the dancers. He walked up to Huo Hannian and said in a low voice,” Young Master Leng, you’ve worked hard to come all the way here. I’ve already arranged rooms for you and Young Master Mo.”
Huo Hannian stood up and nodded at King Dian Bei.” Alright, thank you, King Bei.””
The attendant brought Huo Hannian and Mo Zhan to a courtyard.” Young Master Leng, the first room on the east side is your room.” The second room is Young Master Mo’s room.”
Huo Hannian took a shower in the guest room.
He stood in front of the window and smoked a cigarette. The drunkenness from before had also dissipated.
