Lanling

At night, the ghost country imperial city is brightly lit, and the common people live and work in peace and contentment. On both sides of the streets, there are fiery trees and silver flowers, which are radiant and beautiful.

Duanmu Chengping withdrew his men and went to Fuyuan Street alone.

Originally, the imperial city was already prosperous enough, but this Fuyuan Street was even more incomparable.The flow of people is like weaving, rows of houses are row upon row, and there are so many shops on both sides that it is overwhelming.

The sound of selling, such as mahua, cotton candy, sesame seed cake, candied lotus root, sugar man, stinky tofu, can be said to be delicious to smell and not greasy to eat; the sound of soliciting, such as Yihongyuan, Huangcha shop, Yiqingju, shopping shop, hot soup pool , Izakaya, cat and dog houses, there are countless people coming and going, and it is very lively.

Duanmu City was amazed at the joy of the people here, which was a thousand times better than that in Chi Country. Just as he was thinking, he suddenly looked up and saw an izakaya, filled with the smell of wine, but the inside was unusually deserted. check it out.

"Guest officer, who are you?" A middle-aged man dressed in light green silk and satin came over, with a relaxed expression, handsome complexion, quite ghost country characteristics, small face, red lips, with a bit of a woman's taste.

"One, serve a jug of wine!"

"Master, we don't buy alcohol here."

"What? Why don't izakaya buy alcohol?" Duanmucheng asked.

"My lord doesn't know, our izakaya teaches people to make wine." With a bit of shyness on his face, the man bit the word "making wine" to death, which attracted Duanmucheng's attention.

"Oh? Teach someone to make wine? This sounds new, why don't you teach me?" Duanmucheng smiled heartily.

"That's no problem. However, our guests here are all distinguished guests. Anyone who comes here must obtain the consent of our shopkeeper."

"I'm even more curious now, call your shopkeeper over!"

When the man heard this, a slight smile appeared on his face, "It's not that there are people in the world who can hire our shopkeeper, but they just need to pay a price!"

"What price?"

"Our shopkeeper said that anyone who wants to enter this izakaya, the first thing is to pass the appearance."

"appearance?"

"I see you are from the west, right?" The man looked up and down Duanmu City, his eyes glowing with admiration.

"Yes, it is indeed from the west."

"Your blue eyes can't fool anyone, but with your appearance, you definitely pass the test, but there is a second one."

"What's the second rule?"

"The second thing is to be taller than eight feet. I think you can pass this one. But there is a third one. The third one is, sir, do you have a habit of breaking sleeves?"

"What!" Duanmucheng was a little annoyed when he heard this, "What does drinking have to do with this?"

"I don't know about this, but it's personally decided by the shopkeeper. I can't control it, but it must be implemented, otherwise I have to leave, right?"

Duanmucheng pondered for a moment, thinking that he had never been close to a woman, led the army to fight since he was a child, lived all his life in the army, and was surrounded by men, but he didn't seem to have a special liking for any man, but right now this izakaya is absolutely It's not easy, if you don't take this opportunity to go in, you will miss the opportunity!

"Then is your shopkeeper good at Long Yang? Or do you hate this kind of people?" Duanmucheng asked.

The man smiled, "Look at what you said, if I told you, wouldn't you have the answer?"

Duanmucheng didn't know anything about the shopkeeper, but judging from the man in front of him, the shopkeeper probably liked men more, so he said: "Yes."

The man chuckled, "How can there be a law?"

Duanmucheng was a little unhappy when he saw the aggressiveness of his question, "Why, do you still have voyeurism?"

"Haha, look at you blushing, we don't have one, just want me to say, are you still a baby?"

Duanmucheng was furious, stood up and was about to leave, but suddenly heard a very nice voice from inside, it was a man, "Pingxin, let him in."

The man named Ping Xin stretched out his hand to let Duanmu City in, bowed slightly to him, and hurriedly said, "Master, please come inside!"

Duanmu City went in alone, and Na Pingxin was still guarding outside.

As soon as he entered the inner room, there was a burst of warm fragrance on his face. Duanmucheng sniffed it lightly, and suddenly felt comfortable all over. What kind of smell is it, so good?There is only a couch and a table in the inner room, covered with a green gauze tent, inside the tent is a brocade quilt neatly folded, with a string of white jade beads on the brocade quilt, and the table is next to the couch, with a white jade cup on it , which is full of wine, and the aroma of wine overflows from time to time, which is quite attractive.But he looked around and saw no one.

"Shopkeeper, what do you mean?" Duanmucheng asked.

"What's your name, sir?"

In the heart of Duanmu City, he randomly made up a saying: "Chimu."

"Akagi? How old is sir?"

"It's already a weak crown."

"Sir, you are from the west, why do you want to come to my ghost country?"

"I've always heard that the ghost country is a paradise on earth. I've wanted to visit your country for a long time, and I just have to do it today." Duanmucheng said it very elegantly, probably because the other party's voice was so gentle and unique that people couldn't help but want to go along with it. follow him.

"Very good. If there is a destiny, we will meet again. This time, sir, please drink the glass of wine on the table and leave." The people inside wanted to see off the guests, but Duanmu City was willing, and finally got it. Opportunity, never give up.

"But I haven't seen you yet, how could I just leave like this?"

"Hehe, Mr. Akagi, I don't look amazing. You won't lose money if you see him or don't see him."

"If you don't keep your word, you don't know what to do. If you are so insincere, Mister, you probably don't deserve my attention. Forget about drinking, I'll leave now!" Duanmucheng put down his harsh words, got up and pretended to leave.

"Slow down!" The voice was a little anxious.

Duanmucheng knew in his heart that he had succeeded, and added another sentence: "Sir, what is the meaning of this? If there is no sincerity, why hesitate so many times?"

"Sir, you are such an interesting person!" After finishing speaking, a man with handsome eyes and willow eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, creamy skin, a tall bun, and black hair like a waterfall, came out of the room in a white dress, with a somewhat reassuring expression on his face. There is no blush, and a dark red tear mole on the left cheek is really charming, it looks extraordinarily bright and charming, this is not a man, it is clearly a woman, and she is still beautiful!

Duanmucheng was stunned, and couldn't help but feel stagnant. This man seemed to have seen it somewhere, and his breath was so familiar. It took him a long time to recover, and he bowed slightly to the man, "You are the shopkeeper?"

The man smiled softly, his cheeks became more rosy, "I'm next! Mr. Akagi came from a long way, nice to meet you!"

Duanmucheng felt more and more familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was, so he asked, "May I ask your name, sir?"

The man squinted his eyes and smiled so beautifully that his heart fluttered, his vermilion lips parted slightly, and he said softly, "Lanling."

"Lanling?" Duanmucheng repeated, "The name is like the person."

"Thank you, Mr. Akagi, for your praise!"

Duanmucheng stared at Lanling all the time, couldn't help being fascinated, and thought about the matter of the bridal chamber, suddenly blushing for himself, but he can't be blamed for this, who made this man so beautiful and delicious?

"I don't know what kind of man Mr. Akagi likes?" Lan Ling asked.

"Ah?" Duanmucheng was taken aback for a moment, but after thinking about it for a long time, only Lanling's image remained in his mind, and he couldn't help lowering his head.

"Mr. Chimu must have someone in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't be so ashamed." Lan Ling spoke of this matter so generously that Duanmucheng dared not underestimate him. After all, although this person was born charming, he was far from being an embroidered pillow.

"Since I have met Mr. Lan, can you teach me how to make wine now?" Duanmucheng changed the subject, trying to get out of the predicament.

"Don't worry, Mr. Akagi, to be honest, I think Mr. Akagi is very much like an old friend of mine." Lan Ling said.

"Ok?"

"I used to make an oath with him, and swore that we would never be separated forever, but now his whereabouts are unknown, leaving me alone in this world." Lan Ling spoke with sadness.

"Who is the person Mr. Lan loves?"

"A disciple."

"what?"

Lan Ling chuckled, "Just kidding, Chi Mu, do you mind if I call you that?"

Lan Ling leaned forward suddenly, making Duanmucheng a little flustered, and he stammered, "No—I don't mind."

"That's good." Suddenly Lanling wrapped his arms around his waist, and a warm fragrance rushed into Duanmucheng's breath. It smelled really good, and he couldn't help raising his hands to hug him tightly, but he heard: "Chimu, you Can you call me Lan Ling?"

"Lanling." Duanmucheng has never done his best, now that he is hugging a man who is as beautiful as a fairy, his heart is already in a mess, no matter what Lanling asks him to do, he will do it.

Ke Lanling didn't move, but suddenly came out of his arms, and said seriously: "Chimu, we will be friends from now on." Then, he took a step back with his feet and stretched out his hands.

Duanmucheng stared blankly at the beauty in front of him, his heart was still pounding like a deer, seeing that pair of black autumn pupils was like a deep pool, so still that there were no waves, he stretched out his hand for a long time, and with a light touch, fire burst out of his body Suddenly, a nameless longing churned up from the lower abdomen, yearning for something.

"Okay." Duanmucheng said.

Lan Ling turned around and walked into the curtain at the back, and said after a while: "Chimu, drink the glass of wine on the table, it's a gift, to be honest, as for teaching you how to make wine, I'd better push it back Push it, after all, the future is long, when will you leave the ghost country?"

Duanmucheng picked up the wine glass and drank it down, the mellow aroma filled his chest, this unique fragrance is like the sweet sun in winter, warm and moist with a hint of sweetness, he replied later: "Maybe it will take some time, don't worry. "

"That's good." After that, there was no more sound from inside.

Duanmucheng came out of the back room after a while, pushed open the door, and saw Pingxin looking at him with a smile, arching his hands at him, "Master Chimu, how are you?"

"It's very wonderful. Your wine making method must not be rumored?"

"Of course, anyone who has learned this method of brewing wine will definitely not pass it on to the outside world."

"Why? It's obviously good wine, why don't you drink it with outsiders?"

"Well, this is the rule of our izakaya, as long as it is rumored that the brewer will not survive the next day."

Duanmucheng was taken aback, "What's the point?"

Pingxin smiled slightly, eyes curved, "Mr. Akagi, you should go back first, if you don't want to learn, you can let me know at any time."

"Then I'll take my leave first!" Duanmucheng turned around and left.

Along the way, he kept thinking about the conversation just now in his mind. What kind of abilities does the shopkeeper of this izakaya have?Does it have a great relationship with the royal family of the ghost country?If that was the case, he would have to explore it even more!
