Chapter 18 Wine
After arriving at the palace where Haiyue lived, Wei Ye walked tremblingly towards the main hall.
Sitting on the throne in the hall was a woman with blue hair.
The woman was tall and wore a light blue robe. Her facial features were delicate without a single flaw. Her skin was snow-white and her legs were long. There was an obvious line of hairline running down her jaw. A butterfly was constantly circling around her.
"How come you were so seriously injured?"
Looking at Wei Ye, who walked into the hall tremblingly and was covered in blood, Hai Yue frowned and asked with some confusion, his voice extremely cold.
Haiyue had never seen Wei Ye injured so badly. In her impression, Wei Ye never failed in anything he did.
"Sir, a very powerful martial arts master has come to the Great Wall..."
"His name is Jiang Mingche. He should be here to help the Great Wall Guards resist the demon riots..."
"He killed all the demons and horse thieves that I raised in Qianku City..."
Wei Ye endured the pain in his body and began to tell Haiyue what happened today.
"When did the guard army have such a swordsmanship master?" After listening to Wei Ye's story, Haiyue frowned unconsciously.
He was able to kill all the demons and horse thieves with one sword, and was also able to directly injure Wei Ye. One can imagine how powerful this human swordsman is.
"He should be a general coming from Chang'an, leading troops to support the Great Wall..." Wei Ye said weakly, his face pale.
Suffering such a serious injury, he now has some difficulty speaking. He had heard about Chang'an City sending troops to support the Great Wall.
Jiang Mingche’s cultivation is so high, and he has never appeared at the Great Wall before. He must be the general sent by Chang'an City to support the Great Wall.
"The general from the Great Wall? Could it be that person?" After hearing Wei Ye's words, Hai Yue's mind moved and she instantly had a guess in her mind.
With a wave of his hand, and with the help of the power of Yunzhongdie, Haiyue restored the scene of Jiang Mingche and Jialuo killing the demons in Qianku City just now.
"It's indeed this guy..." Looking at Jiang Mingche in the picture, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Haiyue's eyes.
The last time Marco Polo and Miyamoto Musashi went to Chang'an City to steal the Heart of Dawn, it was this guy who messed it up.
At that time, she had specially investigated Jiang Mingche, but did not find the mark of the God King on him.
It was obvious that Jiang Mingche was not the person she was looking for.
This guy didn't stay in Chang'an City, but came directly to the Yunzhong Desert.
Originally, Haiyue wanted to go directly to Jiang Mingche to settle the score last time, but she didn't dare to go because she was afraid of Wu Zetian's power.
As the empress of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian was blessed with the luck of a country. She was a human genius in magic that was rare in a thousand years. Now her cultivation had reached the level of star brilliance.
Even a being like Jiang Ziya can be sealed directly, so you can imagine how powerful the other party is.
It has not been long since she was resurrected. She has just reshaped her body of glass through the power of Yunzhongdie, and her strength is still recovering. She does not think she is a match for Wu Zetian now.
The last time Jiang Mingche spied on Chang'an City, he was only at the platinum level. He didn't expect that after he came to the Great Wall, his strength soared to the diamond level.
This terrifying speed of cultivation is probably unmatched even by the ancient gods.
If Jiang Mingche only had platinum strength, she would still be confident that she could defeat him. But now that he has reached the diamond level, Haiyue doesn't have that much chance of winning, because her strength has just recovered to diamond level.
She always felt that Jiang Mingche would be the biggest obstacle to her resurrection plan. It seemed that it was urgent to restore her strength.
Not only Jiang Mingche was afraid of Haiyue, Haiyue was also very afraid of Jiang Mingche.
Jiang Mingche made her feel unpredictable and she felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
And last time, Taoist Mudan also told her about Jiang Mingche.
This guy Jiang Mingche actually has no past and no future, it's like he appeared out of thin air.
After sorting out everything, Haiyue used the power of Yunzhongdie to help Wei Ye recover from his injuries.
"Thank you, Lord Haiyue." Feeling his body slowly getting better, Wei Ye's expression became excited.
"You don't have to go anywhere for the next period of time. Just take good care of your injuries." After taking back the Yunzhongdie, Haiyue warned in a cold tone.
"Although Yun Zhongdie has helped you recover from the injuries on your body, I cannot use all of Yun Zhongdie's strength now. Your tendons have been cut, so you need some time to rest."
"From today on, don't come to see me unless it's important. I'm going to start practicing in seclusion..."
After saying this, Haiyue left without looking back.
Jiang Mingche's arrival made her feel an unprecedented sense of crisis, forcing her to put aside the search for the True King's mark. She now had to hurry up and recover her strength.
After her strength is restored, she can act without fear. Looking at Haiyue's departing back, Wei Ye's eyes flashed with a hint of obsession.
In his eyes, Haiyue is so noble and elegant, sacred and dignified, and inviolable...
Jiang Mingche controlled the Jinghong Sword and flew with Jialuo, heading towards Tianque Mountain in the desert among the clouds without stopping.
At night, when it had already darkened, Jiang Mingche and his companions finally arrived at the foot of Tianque Mountain.
It took him four hours to fly on his sword from Qianku City to Tianque Mountain.
"It's too late today. Let's go up the mountain tomorrow." After landing from mid-air, Jiang Mingche put away the Jinghong Sword, looked up at the night sky and said.
It is already the hour of Hai, and Tianque Mountain is dark. It is obviously not a wise choice to go up the mountain at this time.
"Then where do we rest tonight?" After observing the surrounding terrain, Jialuo frowned and asked with some confusion.
The foot of Tianque Mountain is covered with yellow sand and there is not even any shelter. The desert is very cold at night. We can't just stay here like this.
"Of course I'm prepared..."
Jiang Mingche said with a faint smile, and with a wave of his hand, a tent appeared directly in the surrounding open space, along with some pots, pans, and other things. These were things he had prepared long before he set out from Chang'an.
After setting up the tent, Jiang Mingche started to make a fire and cook, and was busy all the time.
He hadn't eaten all day today and was almost starving to death. After all, if he couldn't cultivate to the Star Glory realm, he couldn't practice fasting.
Looking at Jiang Mingche's skillful knife skills, Jialuo was amazed and spoke in a teasing tone.
"I didn't expect that our General Tiance can actually cook?" She really didn't expect Jiang Mingche to have such a life skill.
After spending a few days together and becoming familiar with each other, Jialuo also heard Jiang Mingche say that Jiang Mingche was not only the General of Tiance of the Tang Dynasty but also the Prince Xiaoyao of the Tang Dynasty.
Before he was canonized, he was also a wealthy merchant nobleman. What Jialuo didn't expect was that someone like Jiang Mingche could actually cook?
"Cooking is just a basic skill in life..." Jiang Mingche shrugged and said.
As a young man from the 21st century on Blue Star, he naturally knows how to cook.
It's just that he has basically never done it in the past three years. After all, he has a big family and a big business, so he doesn't need to take care of these things himself.
Jiang Mingche took out some food from the system space and started to clean it. Jialuo took the initiative to walk to the side and help Jiang Mingche add firewood to the fire.
The two of them chatted and laughed while working non-stop.
A quarter of an hour later, four dishes and a soup with good color, aroma and taste appeared on the small table.
After sitting on the chair, Jiang Mingche took out another glass of wine, poured himself a glass, and took a sip.
Looking at the bright moon hanging high above his head, Jiang Mingche sighed.
“It’s quite elegant to eat in a place like this…”
"Do you want to drink?" Jiang Mingche turned his head to look at Jialuo beside him and shook the jar of wine in his hand to signal.
"Drink a little..." After hesitating for a moment, Jialuo said slowly and handed her wine glass to Jiang Mingche.
This surprised Jiang Mingche a little, because he knew that Jialuo basically didn't drink much, and he just asked casually.
But he didn't think much about it and just poured a small cup for Gala.
"This is wine from an ancient country in the Western Regions. It was given to me by the Empress. Try it."
"It's really delicious..." After tasting it a little, Jialuo sighed.
The wine does not have the strong smell of alcohol like ordinary liquor. It only has the sweet taste of grapes, and it does not burn the throat when you drink it.
"If it tastes good, drink more." Jiang Mingche handed the jar of wine directly to Jialuo, indicating that if she wanted to drink, she could pour it herself, and then began to eat the meal slowly.
