Time passes quickly. After the New Year, before we know it, spring has come to the north and south.

The setting sun shines in the evening, and the clouds are burning in full swing in the west. Unfortunately, such a scenery is destined to be short-lived. Just like the current Great Zhou Dynasty, the sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it is near dusk!

A man named Bai Ye stood up on the eaves of the city tower. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Luocheng, which was about to be shrouded in twilight again. He couldn't help but make up his mind in his heart that tonight, he must take the East China Sea blue rhinoceros bead in his hand no matter what.

Bai Ye is a thief. His stealing methods have become superb. Over the years, not to mention the ordinary gates of powerful people, he has been in several times even in the palaces of various countries in the world. Almost everything he likes is easy to capture, and there are few times when he fails.

However, it was the first time he went to Luocheng where the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was to steal things. Moreover, because this time was of great significance, he had to be extra cautious.

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty was dull, it was no longer as powerful as it was in the past. However, this Luo City, after nearly a thousand years of storms, seemed even more majestic and magnificent. Even the Feng'an, Qin's four famous cities, Zhao's Long City, Qi's Canghai, and Wei's Daliang, which are known as the world's four famous cities, cannot be compared with them in terms of scale and influence.

The honor, disgrace, rise and fall of an ancient empire, was naturally not interested in Bai Ye, who was a thief. All his attention now was focused on the blue simile bead that came here from Canghai City, Qi Kingdom.

Because the only woman he loved in his life was waiting thousands of miles away to restore light with this big bead produced from the deep sea.

"A Qiao, don't worry... No matter what price you pay, I must let you see the clear water of the spring river and the peach blossoms of Shushan with your own eyes."

The night wind blew by, and the figure who jumped down the city wall disappeared into the twilight. Only this vow was left, and no one in Luocheng heard it.

The imperial capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty has not been so lively for a long time. Because in a few days, it will be the 100th birthday of the Zhou emperor. Some important figures from all over the world from the nine continents and four seas, all came to Luocheng to celebrate the nominal "Lord of the World".

With the dynasty that had been passed down for thousands of years, it is undoubtedly a miracle that the Zhou emperor could live at such an old age. No one in the world knew what kind of mood he felt when he watched his power gradually fading over the years? But there is no doubt that the emperor's heart deep in the palace was already very old.

Those who came with various purposes regarded this event as a grand gathering. Among the first batch of visitors, including several kings, Lanlingjun from Qi, the East China Sea, had little importance in his identity, but his reputation was very great.

Qi State used the wealth accumulated by the benefits of mountains and seas to make its national strength increasingly stronger. To this day, among the countries in the world enfeoffed by the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is already considered a top-notch country. Even if it cannot be ranked among the top five, it is still among the top five.

Tian Wuzhao, who was named Lanling Jun, was the younger brother of the King of Qi. This time, he was entrusted by the King of Qi to bring valuable gifts to celebrate the emperor's birthday. In addition, he was shouldering another important mission.

However, after he came to Luocheng from Donghai with a large number of servants, he was disappointed. Because the people he wanted to meet did not come. Although there were many people as disappointed as him, Lan Lingjun's disappointment was particularly serious. Because this was related to a major decision of Qi State.

"Young Master, do we really need to go to the dinner tonight?"

The person who frowned and spoke was his personal think tank brought from Qi. As the son of Qi who was famous in the world, Tian Wuzhao was known for his goodness in "raising scholars". There were many powerful people who served under him.

"Of course I have to go! I have already sent an invitation, how can I regret it?"

Lanlingjun is only twenty-seven years old this year. He is handsome and handsome. He has always had a reputation as a polite and virtuous man. Perhaps only the glory that occasionally flashes through his eyes can reveal the sharpness hidden in his heart.

"But... the young master's time is precious, and it seems that there is no need to waste it on the useless man in Zhao State!"

"Bad people? Haha... I have never believed in rumors, I only believe in my own eyes. What's more, if we want to know the true situation of King Zhao, we can only peek from this prince. Apart from that, do you have any other better ways?"

Tian Wuzhao raised his head and looked at his confidant followers. Under the light, there was a faint light in his eyes. Then he added.

"If he is really a waste, that's fine..."

Hearing the profound meaning of his words, the few people around him suddenly realized. They couldn't help but nodded together, and smiled on their faces.

"What the young master said is extremely true! Chu Jiangmian was called a playboy by the people of Zhao. It is said that it is useless... If this is true, maybe he can really know many secrets from his mouth! Haha!"

The few people laughed together. The plan was decided immediately, so they made preparations and surrounded Lanling Jun to the meeting.

Since Luocheng is known as the center of the world, its construction scale was very large at the beginning. Although it lacks the glorious atmosphere, in the twilight and under the reflection of the lanterns throughout the city, there is still a bit of lively scene.

The place where Lanling Juntian Wuzhao asked for a guest is located in the restaurant on Central Street. It is said that the dishes in this place are very delicious. He has been famous for a long time and has long wanted to taste them. This is a rare opportunity.

A bright moon broke through the air. Lan Lingjun, dressed in white, stepped up the wooden ladder on the third floor with his leisurely steps. When he looked up, he saw someone waiting for him for a long time.

A young man stood by the window and heard the sound turning back. His eyes were as bright as stars, and the light flowed. Outside the vermilion railing, the bright moon was hanging high and the night sky was deep, forming a broad background behind him. For some reason, when he saw this person for the first time, Lanling Juntian Wuzhao suddenly realized that the thought that passed by his heart was: "This son... is definitely not a person in the ordinary world!"

The person who can surprise him who is knowledgeable is naturally unique. However, Lan Lingjun did not show any abnormality on his face, he just asked with a faint smile.

"But Prince Jiang Mian? I've been waiting for a long time...haha!"

Crossing 800 miles of mountains and rivers, Chu Jiangmian, who came from Longcheng, Zhaoguo to Luocheng, Zhongzhou, did not wear any gorgeous clothes. If he walked on the street, no one would have thought that he was the "unfilial son" of Zhao, Chulie, who was famous in the world!

"I heard that it was Lanlingjun treating me, so I naturally had to come and wait early... It is said that the food in this restaurant is good, and I will have a great treat tonight."

Looking at the Prince of Zhao who was walking over with a smile, Lan Lingjun was very suspicious that what he saw was an illusion at first sight. The playboy was indeed a playboy, and his nature was revealed as soon as he opened his mouth. His face couldn't help but smile happily. He grabbed the other party's arm and sat down together to greet him.

The attendants of Qi State who followed stood behind, all of whom saw their disdain for the prince from each other's eyes. Compared to their lineup, there was only a thin hunchbacked old man, a man with a sword on his back, and a "teenager" who looked only fourteen or fifteen years old. With Lan Lingjun's vicious eyes, he only glanced at him and saw that the "teenager" was a girl in men's clothing. But he didn't know what his identity was.

The attendants of Qi had already prepared everything in advance. Soon, all kinds of exquisite dishes were delivered. Lanlingjun was generous in treating guests, so he naturally didn't care about this little expense.

A few large tables were filled with swathes, and Tian Wuzhao warmly called Chu Jiangmian to sit down. The Prince of Zhao casually pulled the girl dressed as a man and sat beside him, as if he was used to it. The attendants of Qi were a little dissatisfied, but when they saw Lan Lingjun secretly signaling them not to care, they all endured it.

"Prince Jiang Mian, for the first time we meet, I'll give you a glass of wine, I'll give you a toast first!"

Lan Lingjun, as the master, toasted and drank it all in one go. Unexpectedly, Chu Jiangmian just smelled it with his nose, shook his head slightly and said.

"The food is good, but the wine is normal... and wait."

After saying that, he turned around and ordered. The man with a knife on his back walked over with a small jar of wine. He opened the mud seal and placed it on the table. A bitter fragrance immediately filled the small space.

The wine in Luocheng is naturally the best wine in the world. After the mouth is in, Lanlingjun was already very satisfied. He frowned when he heard Chu Jiangmian's criticism. However, after smelling the aroma of wine emitted from the small dark blue jar, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

"This...what wine is this?"

"Lanlingjun, please taste it before talking about it."

Tian Wuzhao could not wait. Looking at the white jade wine cup handed over by Chu Jiangmian with a smile, he raised his glass without hesitation. The strong wine was hot and hot, like fire and mellow, and the taste was never tasted, not like everything in the world. He couldn't help but exclaim loudly.

"Good wine! Prince Jiang Mian, how dare you ask where you can get it?"

"Haha! To be honest, this is made by myself by mixing it randomly..."

Lan Lingjun widened his eyes and looked at Chu Jiangmian again, looking in disbelief. He has a noble status and drinks all over the world, but compared with the jar in front of him, what he had drunk before was simply unremarkable!

"The prince made it?...what's the name?"

"Oh, it's just something in the cup, what's worth the name... If Lanlingjun likes it, you can name it yourself."

"Prince Jiang Mian...What does this mean?"

"Jiang Mian has been to Zhao State for a long time and admires the name of Lanlingjun. When he first met, he has no respect. He is willing to give this wine and the method of brewing. How about it?"

Lanling Jun was overjoyed. Such a gift was so heavy. He stood up suddenly and casually ordered his servants to say.

"Come on, bring the Bixi Beads!"
