”This... It has always been someone else who gave gifts to His Highness, and His Highness has never given gifts to anyone before. Just now, when I heard that His Highness had suddenly ordered me to prepare a gift and it was even a generous gift, I was somewhat surprised and lost my composure. ” Bing Su replied in an extremely serious and respectful manner.
”It seems like This King has never given gifts to anyone before...” A strange light flashed up in Kunlun's eyes. He looked at the teacup in his hand and murmured with interest.
”Your Highness, may I ask, why did you prepare such a generous gift?” Shi Dongdu, who had not spoken up until now, asked.
Kunwu took a sip of tea and then looked at Shi Dongdu, smiling playfully, ”Guess.”
”Could it be …” King Lin? ” Shi Dongdu thought for a long time, and this was the only possibility.
”King Lin?” Bing Su was surprised again.
”That's right, this gift is prepared for that resourceful King Qilin!” If you get tired today, the King of Japan will personally pay you a visit tomorrow. ” He finished his cup of tea and waved his hand, signaling for the two men to leave.
Shi Donglu and Bing Su bowed.
The moment he stepped out of the door, Bing Su grabbed Shi Dong Du's sleeve, ”What's going on?”
”Don't be in such a hurry. I'll explain it to you slowly. The Groom Search Competition …”
As the two walked into the distance, Shi Dongdu's voice also gradually faded away …
He then took out the phoenix pendant from his bosom and placed it on his palm as he stared at it. His mind slowly drifted away … He thought back to five years ago, when he met him in Phoenix Hall, and also recalled that day's Groom Search Competition … His ice-cold pupils contracted bit by bit, and his killing intent also increased bit by bit. He fiercely bit down on that person's name. ”Xin Cang Qu!”
”...”
As the sun set in the west and dusk fell, a silver moon gradually rose, bringing with it a resplendent starlight. It lit up the entire night sky and reflected back into the water.
Under the moonlight, the crimson figure lazily sat in the pavilion. In one hand was a flagon and in the other was a jade fan. It was counting the stars in the sky.
After counting for a moment, he put the wine jug to his lips, raised his head and gulped a few mouthfuls, then continued counting.
Bai Shuo looked at her from afar, and pursed his lips, after hesitating for a moment, he finally walked over and cupped his hands: ”Lord Cang!”
Xin Cang Qu turned her head to look at her as though she was drunk. ”What is it?”
”The Ghost Wang and the Ghost Demon have sent news that the Black White House has long been used by King Chuan. For the past few days, the people from the Black White House have been rampant in the Heaven's End City. Our people have clashed with them twice, and suffered a loss as well. ” Bai Shuo reported.
”Has Black and White Yama's brain gone bad? ”They actually chose him …” The melodious laughter of Xin Cang and the ripples of the water slowly spread out. He then poured the wine pot into his mouth twice, but only a few drops of the wine came out.
”I'm out of wine, bring me another jug.” After giving his orders, he threw the empty wine jug to the side.
”Lord Cang, you've already drunk a lot.” Bai Shuo warned carefully. She was well aware of her master's temperament. Whoever dared to stop him from drinking will be his enemy!
Xin Cang Qu was slightly tipsy as she slightly frowned. She waved her sleeves and said, ”If you speak any more nonsense, I'll marry you out of here!”
”Yes sir!” Since Bai Shuo couldn't change his mind, he could only go and get the wine.
Very quickly, Bai Shuo brought another jug of wine to Xin Cang Qu.
Xin Cang Qu took the wine jug and looked at the wine in it. Her eyes rippled as she smiled and muttered to herself, ”Although this Lan Ruo wine is the best, it no longer tastes like mother.”
”It is said that Hua Yunshan's eldest miss, Hua Qingman, is the best at making wine. Her carefully made wine is one of the most priceless wines in the world, but she will never be able to match up to your Lan Ruo Wine!” Bai Shuo also sighed with emotion. Ever since she was young, she had been by Xin Cang Qu's side, so she naturally understood his thoughts the best.
