Chapter 10 Breaking the Willow

Jiang Wang doesn't get on anyone's carriage, Li Yougui's lesson is not far away.520 official websitewww.

But for someone like Xiu Yuan, the commander of the Prison Electric Army, since he is waiting for him publicly outside the Changsheng Palace, nothing ugly will happen, so he has nothing to worry about.

The carriage Xiu Yuan was riding at this time was not his imperial carriage that represented the ceremonials of the country.

It should be convenient for daily travel, but it is still not comparable to the car rented by Jiang's housekeeper.

Needless to say, the space is wide, the cushions are soft, and the decorations are elegant... The patterns on the car walls are actually natural wood grains! Like flowers, trees, dragons, and tigers, mysterious and mysterious things arise on their own.

The wood itself is priceless.

Jiang Wang stepped into the car with one step, as if he were stepping on the clouds, so light and effortless.

The groom was obviously from the military, with a serious temperament and a back as straight as iron. With just a slight shake of his hand, the reins made a crisp sound in the air, and the two tall black horses raised their hooves at the same time.

The hoofs rise and fall with the same sound.

The carriage moved lightly and there was no bump in the carriage.

Snap!

The car door is closed.

At the right time, a warm light lit up on the roof of the carriage. It was not caused by the halo of any object, but condensed by array patterns. It was clear but not dazzling.

Sir Jiang has seen the world and calmly sat down opposite Xiu Yuan: "I wonder why Commander Xiu invited Jiang to ride with him?"

Xiu Yuan didn't answer, but asked: "Do you usually drink?"

Between Xiu Yuan and Jiang Wang, the baffle quietly fell, and a low table slowly rose. There was a silver pot and four upside-down silver wine glasses on the low table.

There are two side dishes, one is pea-shaped, but red in color and has a faint burnt aroma.

One is a fruit shaped like a half-moon. Under the translucent skin, a silvery sand-like liquid core can be vaguely seen. In short, Jiang Wang didn't even recognize it.

But he didn't get on the carriage just to see the life of the commander-in-chief of the Nine Soldiers.

Sitting upright and straight, he replied matter-of-factly: "If it's not a banquet, don't drink."

"I've heard many people talk about you, but today is the first time I've met you." Xiuyuan reached out and turned the wine glass on the table over, and said in a calm voice, "Drink a drink with me."

As he spoke, he turned over three wine glasses and reached for the wine jug.

Jiang Wang quickly extended his hand and said, "Let me come."

Xiu Yuan held the wine bottle with one hand and gently let it go: "Good man, don't worry about those vulgar etiquette."

Jiang Wang had no choice but to sit still again.

Xiu Yuan poured the wine slowly and asked casually: "Just now in the palace, I saw you vaguely practicing the eight winds. Is it dragon and tiger?"

"Indeed." Jiang Wang was a little surprised by the other party's attention to him, and quickly explained: "I have no intention of disrespecting the eleventh prince. It's just a habit to study Taoism."

Xiu Yuan poured three glasses of wine and pushed one of the glasses in front of Jiang Wang with the back of his index finger. He said softly: "I've long heard that Jiang Qingyang is neither arrogant nor timid, and is diligent and hardworking, which is different from ordinary people. Today.

Once you see it, it’s really amazing.”

Jiang Wangqian said in a loud voice: "Lowering an official position is just a stupid bird flying first, making up for one's weakness with diligence."

Xiu Yuan shook his head: "There are so many clever people in this world. How many are there with great wisdom? If you are a stupid bird, there are not many people in the world who can fly."

Jiang Wangdao: "My little cleverness is to work harder and be more attentive. All harvests come from hard work."

"This is great wisdom." Xiu Yuan said: "The top four academies in the world are recommended. Longmen Academy teaches one who is talented and talented, Qingya Academy seeks one who is willful and natural, and Haoran Academy cultivates one who is upright. They are all top-notch knowledge in the world. But

The number one academy is due to diligence. There is nothing else in the Academy of Diligence, but the trend of studying hard is very strong, so it ranks first in the world."

Jiang Wang nodded seriously: "The official has learned a lesson."

This Jiang Wang, who was a little too modest, and the Jiang Wang, who refused to be insulted and was so strong that he dared to question the emperor face to face, were simply not the same person.

Xiu Yuan glanced at him lightly: "I didn't teach you either... Well, since you mentioned being taught..."

His eyes were slightly fixed.

Jiang Wang immediately felt a gentle flow of information like a drizzle, spreading down his soul - it was surprisingly the experience of practicing the Taoist technique "Dragon and Tiger", as well as some ideas for practicing this technique based on the level of the outer building.

"I happened to learn it in my early years." Xiu Yuan said casually: "I don't need it now. I haven't forgotten it yet... I'll leave it to you."

The world of Taoism is as vast as the sea, and it changes rapidly with each passing day.

Even if Master Yi Xingchen is a master of magic, it is impossible for him to hit every Taoist skill at the right time.

He Xiuyuan is no exception.

Therefore, the Taoist technique of Longhu was of course temporarily transferred to him while he was waiting outside the palace gate. After a quick study, he passed it on to Jiang Wang.

The Taoist understanding of a real person in this world almost instantly opened up the barrier that Jiang Wang had been thinking about for many days and made him suddenly understand.

Jiang Wang was surprised and happy: "Shuai Xiu is so polite, I really don't know how to thank you."

"No need to say more." Xiu Yuan raised his chin and said very freely, "Just give me a toast."

Jiang Wang toasted simply: "I'll do it first as a token of respect."

After drinking the wine in the glass in one gulp, the warm liquid fell into the stomach, and suddenly turned into a line of fire, burning all the way to the throat. At the critical point, like sparks flying out, "exploding" all over the body

, no part of my body feels uncomfortable.

The soul is extremely lively, and Daoyuan is also very agile.

This wine...can actually help with spiritual practice, it is truly a masterpiece!

The toast itself was also a benefit. Jiang Wang was so benefited from it again and again that he didn't know what to say for a while.

Xiu Yuan had already picked up a cup and drank slowly: "Hurry up and digest, don't miss the effect of the wine."

Jiang Wang then closed his eyes and carried the Dao Yuan. Under the slowly flowing wine, the Tongtian Sea became clearer and clearer. In the Five Palaces Sea, the isolated island of heaven and earth became more stable. In the Hidden Star Sea, the Dao Veins soared, Long Yao corrected and swam...

I don’t know how long it took, but when Jiang Wang opened his eyes, he felt that his body and soul were at peace, and everything was going smoothly. This wine is really a rare treasure, one glass of wine can be worth a month’s work!

Xiu Yuan poured him another glass of wine: "This wine is ineffective if you drink it too much, but its taste will be revealed after it loses its effect. You can taste it again."

The value of these exquisite wines that can aid spiritual practice is immeasurable.

Probably only a real person like Xiu Yuan in this world can taste its taste luxuriously when he is no longer able to feel its extraordinary effects.

At least Jiang Wang took a small sip. Although the fragrance lingered on his lips and teeth, he was still thinking about the pleasure of helping practice, trying to capture its effectiveness, and then feeling sorry for its huge value... He couldn't feel much of the taste at all.

He stopped his glass and sighed: "Jiang Wang is really flattered."

"You deserve this." Xiu Yuan gently sipped the taste of the wine and said in a casual tone: "The older you get, the less you want to owe anything. Especially things like favor... it is difficult to repay."

At the Master's Ceremony, Jiang Wang's argument that "an ant should have no regrets" stopped the emperor's anger and won many favors.

For example, Yi Xingchen, the court official who finally selected Cui Zhu's name, has shown goodwill many times.

And Xiuyuan is the one who needs the most sympathy.

It's just that I have been living in confinement at home, and I have no time or opportunity to contact Jiang Wang. As soon as I saw him in the Changsheng Palace today, I immediately waited outside the palace to "pay off my debt".

As soon as Xiu Yuan said this, Jiang Wang immediately relaxed.

Taking another sip of the wine in the glass, I was able to enjoy some good things this time... After all, he, Jiang, was also afraid of owing favors.

After the wine entered his throat and turned around in his ileum, Jiang Wang asked, "I wonder what the name of this wine is?"

"I brewed this wine myself... I only have the last pot left." Xiuyuan shook the wine pot, listened to the sound of the jade liquid and fine wine, and said softly: "It's called 'Zhe Changliu'."

I break the willow trees and hope that you will stay forever.

There must be a story in it. Although Jiang Wang didn't know the twists and turns, he could taste some of the complexity in the wine and couldn't help but praise: "What a good name."

The carriage slowly stopped at this moment, and there was no wave of wine in the glass. Xiu Yuan, the coachman, was truly superb at driving the carriage, far inferior to the coachman Xie Ping recruited from who knows where.

Jiang Wang blinked lightly and put away these self-humiliating thoughts. Compared with the commander-in-chief of the Nine Soldiers, it was really hard to imagine...

Xiu Yuan held the wine flask, helped Jiang Wang fill up the wine glass, and asked, "Do you know where this is?"

Of course Jiang Wang knew where this was.

Even though he has not yet activated his sravaka state, his sensitivity to sounds has already enabled him to capture the surrounding environment.

The roaring voices, the boiling emotions of the crowd, tension, excitement, fright, cheers... and even howls.

There is no doubt that it is a place of law.

The execution grounds of many prisoners were being delayed at the same time.

Among them was a real person named Yan Tu.

Xiu Yuan's carriage was parked not far from the execution ground. Although there was a huge crowd, the signboard called Prisoner of Electric Force squeezed out a spot.

But the car door was not opened and the window was not opened.

Although Xiu Yuan's car drove here, he didn't seem to intend to watch the execution process.

Of course... as a real person in this world, if he wanted to see, it would be difficult for anything to block his sight.

The closed doors and windows are just his closed eyes.

"This is the place where spies from the equal country are executed." Jiang Wang said carefully.

The words are full of reminders to travel far away.

I don’t know if Xiu Yuan understood it, or rather, I don’t know if he listened.

He only took a sip of wine, drank it carefully, and seemed to be drunk but not drunk, and then said: "I heard that you like to read?"

Jiang Wang wanted to ask, who heard it?

After all, he lacked the shame to brag in front of a real person in the world, so he said uncomfortably: "I feel more and more that my accumulation is too insufficient. I have indeed been looking for time to study recently...but I haven't read much."

"Have you read "The Chronicles of Strange Beasts"?" Xiu Yuan asked.

"Never..." Jiang Wang said.

This is the first time he has heard this title!

"...a book that records all kinds of strange beasts. The information is relatively comprehensive." Xiu Yuan said: "Although many of the strange beasts recorded in it have become extinct, they also represent a period of history to a certain extent, which helps to deepen the understanding of history."

Your understanding of the world. You are fine as a god, but if you want to become a real person, you must understand the world better. If you have the chance... you should still read it."

Facing the most talented young man in Daqi, he couldn't say anything. This was just one of the basic reading materials of Jixia Academy.

"Understood!" Jiang Wang nodded simply.

Knowing it means knowing it, not knowing it means not knowing it. The lack of accumulation is a problem of innate conditions. It is not his fault, and there is nothing to be ashamed of. He is still young and has many good years, so he can make up for it with more efforts.

"There is a bird named Negative Rain..." Xiu Yuan rubbed his wine glass and sighed: "I have always wanted to see it, but I have never found it. I think it no longer exists."

"This kind of bird has very strong magical powers? Is there any special way to kill it?" Jiang Wang asked curiously.

"..." Xiu Yuan suddenly felt that he was playing the piano, and said: "Don't just drink, let's have some food."

Jiang Wang obediently twisted a half-moon-shaped fruit wrapped in silver sand and put it into his mouth.

I originally wanted to ask what kind of treasures there were in the Lao Shi Zi Rain Bird, but after one bite, my mouth was filled with fragrance, and I immediately forgot about it.

"Hey, it tastes good." Lord Jiang tried to sound as natural as possible, without making a fuss: "Xiu Shuai, where can I buy this kind of fruit?"

I was thinking in my mind that with my current salary, I could buy a few kilograms for An An to try.

He missed An An's birthday again this year, so he had to find something delicious to make up for it, no matter how expensive it was, it was worth it.

"It's called 'Yuelongsha'." Xiuyuan said casually: "The fox tribe loves to eat it and regards it as a holy fruit. It is not produced in this world and cannot be grown."

"Uh...oh."

"Eat more if you like it." Xiu Yuan held the wine glass and said casually: "It does taste good. Every time I go to the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons, I will go out to find some."

Having said that, he just took another sip of wine.

"A very rare taste." Jiang Wang grabbed a handful and put one in his mouth as if nothing had happened.

After learning the exercises in someone's car, drinking a lot of wine, and packing up the fruit after eating, he, a genius like him, naturally couldn't do it, but he could hold a handful of fruit in his hand and finish it in a while.

Bar?

Eating while walking shouldn't be a problem.

Then it is quite reasonable to accidentally take some leftover home.

Since everything is left in the end, it shouldn’t be gossiped about if it is left for my sister to eat later, right?

In his own logical world, Jiang Qingyang remains standing.

But Xiuyuan stopped talking.

When Xiu Yuan fell silent, Jiang Wang immediately felt embarrassed.

I was holding a handful of Yuelong Sha in my hand, but I couldn't bear to eat it, and it seemed strange not to eat it. I thought about it, so I gritted my teeth and ate it, and it felt a bit like I was hiding something.

It’s really hard to think about everything, no matter what...

"It's raining." Xiuyuan said suddenly.

Only then did Jiang Wang realize that at some point... the screams on the execution ground had stopped.

The carriage started to drive again and drove away from here in silence.

Xiu Yuan looked up and saw that a skylight automatically slid open on the top of the carriage.

All I could see was red drizzle in the sky, fluttering and falling towards the world.

When a real person dies, the world weeps and sheds blood... I feel the same sorrow.

The carriage was driving in Linzi City, the most prosperous city in the Eastern Region. Xiu Yuan was speechless, and Jiang Wang was speechless. In the distance, from nowhere, a misty song came.

The song sang——

"Tonight again, the willow trees are broken. Yue'e throws away the wine in the cup..."

"The lightness of the old paper reveals the joy. The traces of tears are still thinner than the blue and white flowers..." (1)

Jiang Wang thought that he might have heard wrongly.

During these days, no entertainment is allowed in the city.
