My timeless tavern

Chapter 50 Upstairs at the Yellow Crane Tower
While the little dragon girl was thinking wildly, Peter and Harry came to the tavern.

One of them sells blood, the other sells Green Goblin potion, their movements are easy and skillful.

While selling things, the two also carefully observed the new wines appearing on the wine list.

When he saw the Dryad's Heart Wine, Peter suddenly blinked and said to Harry: "Whenever I get rich one day, I will definitely treat you to a drink."

Harry looked at his friend and said half-jokingly: "You don't like Mary anymore?"

Mary Jane's red hair flashed through Peter's mind.

He has been secretly in love with the girl next door for a long time, and now he has finally made some progress.

He knew that his friend was also interested in that girl, but he was not going to give in on this matter.

"That will have to wait until you drink the Dryad's Heart Wine!" Peter said.

Harry took a half step back and stared at Peter warily: "I regard you as a brother, I didn't expect you to have such thoughts!"

Su Luo found it interesting to hear the two laughing and joking there.

Also interesting was Ying Zheng, who had just entered.

After he finished handling state affairs early in the morning, he planned to stop by the tavern.

Yesterday, he talked to Yan Chixia about cultivation, and he still had many questions.

Now seeing Peter and Harry laughing and joking there, he felt envious for no reason.

Before taking charge of the Qin State, he also had close friends.

It's a pity that as his status gets higher and higher, there are fewer and fewer friends around him.

Some of his close friends even turned against him due to different political opinions and were executed by him personally!
Even though he was chatting and laughing with people in the tavern, he never had a heart-to-heart relationship with them.

Ying Zheng suddenly thought of Li Bai.

That guy was free and unrestrained, and every time he talked to him, he felt quite happy.

"I heard from Mr. Li Bai that he has left for a long journey. I don't know what's going on now!"

……

At this moment, Li Bai was on the Yellow Crane Tower.

Opposite Li Bai was Meng Haoran who was pouring wine.

After saying goodbye to Gao Shi earlier, Li Bai came alone to look for this friend who was more than ten years older than him.

Before traveling around the world, he had two things to do. One was to meet the best friend he respected and trusted the most.

"Are you planning to give up your official career and want to travel around the world?" Meng Haoran was quite curious after hearing Li Bai's plan.

He received Li Bai's letter a few days ago and went to Yangzhou to find him in person, but failed. He never thought of meeting him in Jiangxia on his way back.

But Li Bai's words really surprised him.

He certainly knew Li Bai's earlier plan.

In this prosperous Tang Dynasty, there was no scholar who did not desire to make contributions.

Including himself, he ranked first in the county examination and high school in his early years, but gave up his official career because he was tired of officialdom.

But with the death of his father, his mentality has now been shaken, and he is also planning to find someone to introduce him to the court as an official.

Li Bai's status as a businessman's son made it far more difficult for him to become an official.

"Mr. Meng doesn't know what I have witnessed this time!" Li Bai said mysteriously.

"Which corrupt official was beheaded, or which dignitary in the court was demoted and exiled?" Meng Haoran asked.

"Compared with what I saw, such trivial things are nothing!" Li Bai took a sip of wine and shook his head.

Meng Haoran glanced at the other person and thought to himself that he hadn't even had a few sips of wine, so why did this guy seem to be drunk.

"Did you see a god?" he asked with a smile.

Li Bai's movements suddenly stopped and he said excitedly: "Mr. Meng's guess is really accurate!" Meng Haoran had a strange expression: "Is Brother Li drunk too much?"

Li Bai shook his head and then talked about the incident in the tavern in detail.

"Although it is not a fairyland, I'm afraid the real fairyland may not be as good as the tavern," he said. "There, I became brothers with Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng, chatted happily with the chivalrous woman with extraordinary skills, and saw a real man who could catch people. An expert in slaying demons..."

Meng Haoran looked at the wine in the glass.

The wine swayed gently, and the figures reflected in it were also erratic.

He felt that this friend's imagination was really wild. In order to escape from the world, he actually came up with such an excuse.

"Mr. Meng, don't you believe it?" Li Bai asked after seeing Meng Haoran's expression.

"How could I not believe what Brother Li said!" Meng Haoran said with a smile.

Li Bai, who has always been optimistic and open-minded, has made up such lies, so why should I expose him?

Life is hard!
"I also said I would take you to the tavern to have a look." Li Bai said again.

"Wait until you come back from your travels." Meng Haoran shook his head and said, "I happen to have some personal matters to deal with these days."

He was recommended to Zhang Jiuling, the prime minister of the dynasty, and the poem he presented was very popular with him. The recommendation was already underway, and he might be able to get an official position in the near future.

Of course, the most important thing is that he feels that what Li Bai said is just an excuse.

How could there really be such a mysterious tavern in the world!

Seeing what he said, Li Bai was not disappointed: "Okay, then I will take you to see the Time and Space Tavern when I return from my travels!"

He himself is now very poor. Although this friend's family is well-off, he may not be able to get many space-time coins if he spends all his wealth. Therefore, he does not want to force his friend to see the prosperity of the tavern, so as not to delay the business.

When I return from my travels, I will definitely be able to collect some rare treasures along the way. Then I can exchange them for time and space coins, and it will not be too late to invite my friends to have a drink in the tavern.

After making up his mind, Li Bai smiled even more relaxedly: "Mr. Meng, does he know that the world is a big ball?"

"Big ball?" Meng Haoran was confused.

"Yes," Li Bai stood up and waved, "Both the earth under our feet and the sun, moon and stars in the sky are all big balls, and because of the gravity of the earth itself, we are firmly attracted to the ground!"

Meng Haoran pondered and said: "There is a similar statement."

"The sky is like a chicken's chicken, the celestial body is round like a bullet, and the earth is like the yellow inside of a chicken's chicken. It lives alone in the sky. The sky is big and the earth is small."

He has lived in seclusion for these years, not just sleeping in and writing poems like "Spring sleeps without waking up at dawn" every day. In fact, he has read a lot of various books.

However, Li Bai shook his head and said: "This statement is not comprehensive enough..."

He eloquently recounted what he had learned from Peter, and finally added: "This is called science!"

Meng Haoran couldn't laugh or cry.

He felt like his friend was possessed.

After Li Bai said this, he suddenly changed the topic and said: "I plan to go west along Chang'an, across Suiye City where I was born, and then all the way west, circling the earth until I return to the starting point!"

"I heard that the West is full of uncivilized barbarians who eat human flesh and drink human blood. Brother Li should be careful." Meng Haoran advised.

Li Bai said excitedly: "That's just right!"

Meng Haoran wanted to persuade him, but Li Bai said again: "But before that, I have to go see that faint king!"

When Leng Buding heard the word "faint king", Meng Haoran's expression changed drastically, he looked around nervously and said: "Brother Li, be careful what you say!"

Li Bai shook his head: "I plan to admonish him!"

"Nowadays, the world is prosperous and all nations come to court. Even if the scholars are dissatisfied with some of the things they do, the emperor cannot be called a coward." Meng Haoran whispered.

"That's because Mr. Meng didn't know that the world was about to be in chaos..."

While Li Bai was talking, he suddenly heard crying from outside.

He turned to look out the window and saw that a child playing by the river had fallen into the water.
