Chapter 810: Alarmed a Big Shot
"Hehe, I'll take this wine!"
Suddenly, the first cultivator who wanted to eat the cake made his move.
He set his sights on one of the jars of wine and reached out to grab it!
But soon, the second and the third also stepped forward, unwilling to fall behind!
"I am the nephew of the King of Zhenxi Frontier, who among you dares to challenge me?!"
"What do you mean by this? This is the capital city. The wine brewed by this old wine seller is no ordinary wine. Don't be so arrogant! Don't even mention my nephew, that prince just now didn't get away with it!"
"Who do you think you are? Daring to boss me around here, you're asking for trouble!" "Once I get my hands on this wine, I will definitely present it to Her Majesty the Empress!"
"..."
When Immortal Emperor Jiu Qiong closed the shop and threw away the wine, the cultivators outside the tavern immediately started fighting amongst themselves!
This chain reaction led to a chaotic brawl where everyone disregarded their status and started fighting over fist size.
There are only two exceptions.
Upon realizing the situation was dire, the two Imperial Guard spies immediately broke away from the ranks and hid at a distance.
They are simply not good at head-on confrontations, let alone this kind of chaotic battle.
The sounds inside the tavern were no longer audible; it was obvious that it was shrouded in some kind of barrier, and the "mark" on the target's body was also concealed.
Following them was clearly out of the question. Meanwhile, outside, the scene of people fighting over a jar of wine was utter chaos!
"How to do?"
"What else can we do? Of course, we'll leave!"
"Go back and gather men to arrest all those who have violated the rules of the capital!"
The imperial capital, right under the emperor's nose, is governed by strict laws.
These guys dare to fight in the street over a few jars of wine, and they don't even care about the rules set by the Empress.
You're really tired of living!
You don't know where the Empress's fame came from, do you?
Let them see what I'm made of!
……
In the store.
Immortal Emperor Jiu Qiong then erected another shielding barrier, completely cutting off the noise from outside. "May I ask your name?"
"Your surname is Gu, and your given name is Heng. What about you?"
Why are you suddenly so respectful? Something's not right. Last time you were all bluster and glaring, getting angry at the slightest provocation.
"This old man has long forgotten his real name. His body is crippled and his will is broken. All that remains is the title of 'Immortal Emperor of Wine Jade,' which is not worth mentioning."
The Immortal Emperor Jiuqiong smiled bitterly.
"Immortal Emperor?"
Gu Heng was stunned for a moment, then filled with awe!
My goodness! I never imagined that the old man I was arguing with over whether the wine was good or not was actually an Immortal Emperor!
He did not see the old man in front of him with an omniscient perspective.
He doesn't use the omniscient perspective often; it tires his eyes, and sometimes the system is too lazy to tell him the identities and backgrounds of certain people, which is tantamount to cutting corners. Only for particularly important matters does the omniscient perspective provide slightly more information.
Moreover, he has long since passed the stage where he would use his "omniscient perspective" to look at others whenever he had nothing to do; he no longer has that kind of "three-minute enthusiasm."
But we still need to take a look.
This look.
Gu Heng discovered it.
It is indeed the "Immortal Emperor of Wine and Jade", but the feedback from the omniscient perspective is that the threat is "equivalent to nothing"... What's going on?
Is he even more powerful than the Celestial Emperor?
"I never expected that the old gentleman would be such a hidden master."
Gu Heng's tone suddenly became respectful towards the elderly.
In any case, I definitely can't keep calling him "old man" anymore. "Sigh, what do you mean by hiding my true abilities? My body is already ruined; I'm just a candle in the wind, ready to die at any moment."
"Now he's just a lowly old man brewing wine, and he's long since lost the abilities of an Immortal Emperor."
One listen.
Gu Heng immediately understood.
It turned out he was seriously injured. Although he was called a Celestial Emperor, he had long been unable to unleash the power of a Celestial Emperor.
That's normal.
If he is already more powerful than the Celestial Emperor, then my own strength is simply unbelievable.
Others might not be able to improve their skills in more than a year, but he went from mortal to immortal, rising like a rocket. Is that reasonable?
The problem itself was unreasonable to begin with; the only question now is how absurd it is.
"Your Excellency, I have only one wish now." Immortal Emperor Jiuqiong carefully took out the jar of wine that Gu Heng had given him.
It's not finished yet.
Even the Immortal Emperor Jiu Qiong dared not finish it.
He was afraid that once he finished drinking it, there would be none left.
"I would like to know how your divine wine was brewed?"
He looked at Gu Heng with pleading in his eyes.
The Immortal Emperor Jiuqiong was devoted to brewing wine throughout his life. Even during the Five Realms War, when he was summoned by the Supreme Immortal Palace, he did not forget to steal a moment of leisure from his busy schedule.
Now, this wretched man who barely escaped death on the battlefield has no desire to return to the immortal realm; brewing wine is his last remaining thought.
"……That's it?"
Gu Heng stared at him blankly.
"Old sir, this is just some wine I brewed in my spare time. I brewed it for fun, and I mainly drink it myself. There's nothing special about it."
No! No, no!
"That's absolutely not the case!"
The Immortal Emperor Jiu Qiong's face flushed with excitement. He had tested this wine on several cultivators, and their individual obsessions and cultivation levels resulted in different effects from the wine, which was enough to demonstrate its extraordinary nature!
Or rather.
It is the extraordinary nature of the "brewer"!
"Hiss... Old sir, how about this, this wine is really nothing special, I can brew it for you right here and now."
Gu Heng suggested.
He didn't brew any wine when he returned to the desolate city; he gave all the wine he had to Hua Yeli.
He had originally planned to brew wine, but he put it aside for the time being in order to find the little girl. Who would have thought that the homemade wine he had given away would be so coveted by this Immortal Emperor?
But he really didn't know what was so special about this wine.
"Very well! To be able to watch you brew wine on the spot, my trip has not been in vain!"
However, Gu Heng's suggestion seemed to be exactly what Immortal Emperor Jiu Qiong wanted to hear, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Please follow me, sir."
Immortal Emperor Jiuqiong led Gu Heng to the back hall.
There's a small earthen brewery here, complete with all the necessary brewing tools!
"This wine may seem unremarkable to outsiders, but with my experience and knowledge, I can see that it is extraordinary!"
"Immortal Emperor Jiuqiong said with some excitement."
Gu Heng was also helpless. He was already in a difficult position. If he didn't brew wine, he would seem stingy. But brewing wine was not something that could be done overnight. It would take at least ten days to half a month to see the finished product.
Oh well, I'll just consider it making friends with a senior figure.
……
Half an hour later.
Within the capital, unrest gradually arose, but was suppressed by the heavy aura of iron and blood.
There is no other reason.
All because a formidable army of black-armored warriors was marching through the capital!
Although they numbered only a hundred or so, the fighting spirit they exuded was as heavy as a mountain. Wherever this army passed, no one dared to utter a sound, for fear of disturbing them.
This army is usually stationed in only one place: the Empress's palace!
The leader was a man clad in a crimson battle robe, whose aura was equally astonishing. Beside him was Lu Li, the Imperial Guard's clerk, but there was a significant difference in their auras.
Lu Li, standing beside him, even seemed somewhat reserved and dared not make any rash moves.
"It's the Imperial Guard!"
"And there's also Yan Luohou, the commander of the Imperial Guards!"
"Isn't that the chief clerk of the Imperial Guard next to him?"
"What happened that has alarmed these two powerful figures?"
The onlookers were buzzing with discussion.
