One of them was selling blood, and the other was selling Green Goblin potion, their movements were easy and skillful.

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

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

Harry glanced at his friend and asked half-jokingly, "You don't like Mary anymore?"

Peter couldn't help but think of Mary Jane's red hair.

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

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

"That's until you drink the Dryad's Heart Wine!" said Peter.

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

Su Luo found it interesting to hear the two of them laughing and playing there.

Ying Zheng, who had just walked in, also found it interesting.

After he finished dealing with state affairs in the morning, he planned to go to the tavern.

I talked to Yan Chixia about cultivation yesterday, and he still has a lot of questions.

Now seeing Peter and Harry chatting and playing there, he felt envious for no reason.

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

Unfortunately, as his status grew, he had fewer and fewer friends around him.

He even had several close friends who turned against him because of their different political views and were executed by him personally! Even if he talked and laughed with people in the tavern, he had never shared his heart with them.

Ying Zheng suddenly thought of Li Bai.

That guy was free and easy and bold, and he always felt very happy when talking to him.

"I heard from you that Li Bai has already left for a long journey. I wonder how he is doing 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 find this good friend who was more than ten years older than him.

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

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

He had received a letter from Li Bai some time ago and went to Yangzhou to find him in person, but came back empty-handed. Unexpectedly, he met him by chance in Jiangxia on his way back.

But Li Bai's words really surprised him.

He naturally knew Li Bai's earlier plan.

In this prosperous Tang Dynasty, there is no scholar who does not desire to achieve success.

Including himself, he topped the county examination 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 been shaken, and he is also planning to find someone to recommend himself to serve as an official in the court.

As Li Bai was the son of a merchant, it was much more difficult for him to enter the officialdom.

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

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

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

Meng Haoran glanced at the other person and thought to himself, how come this guy looks drunk even though he hasn't even had a few sips of the wine?

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

Li Bai suddenly stopped and said excitedly: "Mr. Meng's guess is really accurate!"

Li Bai shook his head and then began to talk about the incident at the tavern in detail.

“Although it’s 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, had a great chat with a chivalrous woman with extraordinary skills, and even met a real Taoist master who could catch ghosts and exorcise monsters…”

Meng Haoran looked at the wine in the glass.

The wine swayed gently, reflecting the erratic figure of the person in it.

He felt that his good friend had a truly unbridled imagination, and that he had come up with such an excuse in order to escape from the world.

"Mr. Meng, don't you believe it?" Li Bai asked when he saw Meng Haoran's expression.

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

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

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

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

He was introduced to the prime minister of the time, Zhang Jiuling, and the poem he presented was quite popular with the prime minister. The recommendation was already going well, and he might get an official position in the near future.

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

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

Seeing him say this, Li Bai was not disappointed: "Okay, then wait until I return from my travels, and then I'll take you to see the Spacetime Tavern!"

He himself is penniless now, and although this friend's family is well-off, he may not be able to exchange for many time-space coins even 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 his business.

When I return from my travels, I will definitely collect some rare treasures along the way. I can then exchange them for time and space coins, and then it won’t be too late to invite my friends to the tavern for a drink.

After making up his mind, Li Bai smiled more relaxedly: "Mr. Meng, do you know that this world is a big ball?"

"Big ball?" Meng Haoran was puzzled.

"Yes," Li Bai stood up and waved his hand, "whether it is the earth beneath our feet or the sun, moon and stars in the sky, they are all big balls, and it is because of the gravity of the earth itself that we are firmly attracted to the ground!"

Meng Haoran pondered and said, "There is a similar saying."

"The whole sky is like a chicken egg, the celestial body is round like a bullet, and the earth is like the yolk of a chicken egg, standing alone in the sky. The sky is big and the earth is small."

During these years of seclusion, he did not sleep in every day and write poems like "Spring sleep does not know the dawn". In fact, he read a lot of books of various types.

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

He proudly recounted the knowledge he had heard from Peter, and added at the end: "This is called science!"

Meng Haoran didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He felt that his good friend seemed to be possessed.

After Li Bai finished speaking, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "I plan to travel west along Chang'an, cross the city of Suiye where I was born, and then continue westward, circling the earth until I return to the starting point!"

"I heard that the people in the West are all uncivilized barbarians who eat human flesh and drink human blood. Brother Li, you must be careful." Meng Haoran advised.

Li Bai said excitedly: "That's perfect!"

Meng Haoran wanted to persuade him, but he heard Li Bai say again: "But before that, I have to go see that tyrant!"

Hearing the word "tyrant" out of the blue, Meng Haoran's face changed drastically. He looked around nervously and said, "Brother Li, be careful with your words!"

Li Bai shook his head: "I was planning to advise him!"

"The world is prosperous nowadays, and all nations come to pay tribute. Even if some of the things the emperor does make the scholars dissatisfied, the emperor of this dynasty cannot be called a tyrant." Meng Haoran said in a low voice.

"That's because Mr. Meng doesn't know that the world is about to fall into chaos..."

As Li Bai was speaking, he suddenly heard crying and shouting outside.

He turned his head and looked out the window, and saw that a young child who was playing by the river had fallen into the water.
