Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Chapter 331: The finest wine: Sakura wine

At noon that day, in Ziyuan Town, in the lobby of the inn.

After a morning of travel, Jiang Ming and Guanxing successfully arrived at Ziyuan Town. After discussion, Mei returned to the world's cosmic rules and continued to comprehend the cosmic rules. Hei lurked around and waited for an opportunity to strike.

Zi and Cheng stayed with Jiang Ming and Guanxing.

"I already know a lot of information. First, it was Prime Minister Rita, then General Yulandel, and finally the Jackal and the Second Prince. But the most important thing is the strange beast. I think as long as we deal with the strange beast, the problems of this world, or the problems of stargazing, will be solved."

"Of course I can take Guanxing directly to the place where the monster is about to get into trouble and kill it with lightning speed, but this method has a big disadvantage. That is, I am so active that people like Guanxing will definitely suspect me, and I will have to make some troublesome explanations, which is really troublesome."

"So I have to accompany Guanxing to the locations of the array centers one after another. In addition to wasting time, there is a benefit, which is that it can allow Guanxing to be more deeply familiar with the rules of the universe, so that she can better understand my sincerity. After all, the deeper she understands, the more she can appreciate the mysteries of the rules of the universe and fall into them, unable to extricate herself, not to mention the most mysterious and difficult ways of wisdom and arrays."

"......Um?"

At this moment, a small voice was heard, interrupting Jiang Ming's thoughts. If the voice was loud, he wouldn't care, but since it was so sneaky, it was necessary to listen to it.

Jiang Ming followed the sound and found that it was the table in the middle. Six big men were sitting around the table. They were drunk and their faces were red and their bodies were thick. But even though the atmosphere was originally very heated, one of the big men deliberately lowered his voice and spoke.

"Hey, let me tell you something, you mustn't tell anyone else."

"Hey, what new way have you found to make money? Tell us now!"

"Hey, about this... Actually, I don't know if it's true or not. When I went to Huangyue City for business two days ago, I had a severe stomachache, and I couldn't see any toilets around, so I could only find a toilet near the wall..."

"That's it?"

"Why are you so anxious... I was squatting at the foot of the wall and having a good time, when I suddenly heard two people whispering behind the wall, saying that the crown prince had run away and they had to go find him quickly—"

Just as the big man was talking excitedly under the influence of alcohol, the person next to him interrupted him in time: "Shh - we can't discuss the royal family's affairs. If one person says something wrong, then..."

After saying that, he wiped it on his neck.

"Yes, yes, yes! Come on, drink, drink. We didn't say anything just now, and we didn't hear anything! Drink, drink!"

After a round of toasts, the originally whispered chatter was drowned out by the noise of the inn, and the atmosphere became heated again.

But as the saying goes, the speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously - there are four people at Jiang Ming's table, including him, as well as Guanxing, Zi and Cheng.

Of course, Zi and Cheng's stunning looks would naturally attract a lot of attention. If left alone, their stargazing would most likely be discovered, so Jiang Ming simply put purple and orange veils on them to cover their faces.

Jiang Ming was also extremely handsome, almost pretty, but the commotion he caused was much smaller than that of Zi and Cheng, so he did not try to cover it up.

However, Guanxing was wearing a cloak, with only the lower half of his face exposed.

Jiang Ming retracted his gaze slightly and looked towards the stars.

"It seems that Mr. Guanxing's departure from the city will soon be known to everyone. We must act quickly. However, Mr. Guanxing, if you really want to conceal your figure, I can help you. Zi and Cheng's appearance is like this, and you will be more likely to attract attention this way..."

"Humph, this Ziyuan Town is the only gateway from Huangyue City to the Western Regions. It has long been a place with many people and eyes, and this inn is even more so. Besides, if someone really noticed us, you will surely take action to deal with it, right?"

It was already noon, and Jiang Ming and his companions had just settled down and had not yet had lunch, so he placed two heavy ingots of silver on the table: "Haha, let's not talk about this for now, shopkeeper, quickly serve three or four side dishes, and prepare two good guest rooms for us in the evening, more gifts and less compensation."

After a while, a pink-haired girl wearing black and white brocade clothes and revealing a little bit of her snow-white skin appeared in front of the four people. Zi and Jiang Ming's expressions remained unchanged, as calm as water, but Cheng almost choked on the tea in his mouth and thought: "Another one?"

"You are...?" Jiang Ming casually glanced at the lovely girl beside him, and then a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"My name is Yae, and I am the owner of this inn. Since the waiters in the inn are a bit busy, I will personally serve the dishes to you. Here are your meals - one serving of vinegar-fried flying fish balls, one serving of braised pork with cabbage, and three servings of fried flying fish balls..."

"This inn serves food really quickly."

Jiang Ming made a vague comment.

"No, it's just that the guest asked for three or four small dishes, and the kitchen happened to have made some extra, so I brought them here. Oh, and here's the wine I specially mixed, a pot of Emerald Fairy, please enjoy it."

"Emerald Fairy...?"

Seeing that Jiang Ming was puzzled, Yachong explained to him: "This wine is a new product in our shop. It is given away for free at every table. The purpose is to listen to the opinions of our guests and make improvements. If you have any thoughts after drinking it, please be sure to tell me in detail."

Before Jiang Ming could say anything, Yae took the initiative to pour a full glass of Emerald Fairy for him, Zi and Cheng. When Guanxing also wanted some, Yae shook his head seriously.

"Master Guanxing, you are not yet old enough to drink alcohol. This is the fragrant tea I prepared specially for you, please enjoy it."

Jiang Ming: "......"

"Haha, it just so happens that I am also quite knowledgeable about wine and tea. If Miss Yae doesn't mind, why don't you sit next to me and try the wine I made?"

Jiang Ming pretended to take out a jar of wine and a pot of tea from the package. The jar of wine contained the cherry wine brewed by Jiang Ming. However, the cherry wine this time was not an ordinary cherry wine. It contained the mysteries of the rules of the universe, and the same was naturally true for the tea.

As expected, as soon as Jiang Ming opened the wine jar, a mellow aroma of wine wafted out and instantly filled the entire inn, attracting the attention of almost all the customers. Fortunately, all their eyes were on the wine jar, not on Guanxing.

The customer's eyes were almost burning, staring at the Sakura Wine in Jiang Ming's hand. This was definitely a jar of top-quality wine.
