The spicy liquid poured into my throat, and it was like a big "refreshing" feeling, and all the complicated and unspeakable distress was completely washed away.
The two of them sat in a small restaurant eating and drinking all morning, and kept arguing until noon when they finally finished their meal.
Many public facilities on the streets that were destroyed during the war have been repaired after the war. However, the streets that were always crowded with people are now deserted. Occasionally, a few people can be seen on the streets, but they are hurriedly coming and going. This is especially the case in the imperial capital, not to mention other cities.
Qin Changqing couldn't help but sigh. In the past, everyone complained about the endless queues and crowded tourist attractions. Now, there are finally no more crowds. However, looking at this deserted scene, it is estimated that few people can feel happy.
After drinking, they were very thirsty. They walked along the deserted streets for a while before finding a small store to buy some water. Luo Yuhuan saw that Qin Changqing didn't want to go back for the time being, so he squatted with him on the side of the road and continued chatting.
Qin Changqing was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "What are your plans next?"
Luo Yuhuan had just been scolded by his father the night before, so naturally he was eager to help Qin Changqing. However, it was only one night, and it would be too difficult for him to come up with a plan.
"Just continue to stay in the army for now." Luo Yuhuan raised his head and took a sip of water. "My dad specially approved the leave for me recently." This leave was of course approved for him to entertain Qin Changqing, but Luo Yuhuan didn't want his brothers to think that he was idle every day during this period, so he explained it a little awkwardly.
Qin Changqing pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you ever thought about helping me with something? To be honest, I have a lot to do this time, and I can't handle it all by myself." He said this, intending to use Luo Yuhuan to test the Luo family behind him. Qin Changqing sighed inwardly. Such is life. When fate pushes people to that point, even the relationship between once good brothers inevitably becomes complicated.
Luo Yuhuan, however, had no idea what he was thinking. Instead, he became very interested and asked excitedly, "What do you want to do?"
"Well, I'm planning to take some Earth specialty products to the Empire to see if I can find a market. If you're free, please help me gather some first." Qin Changqing licked his dry lips and continued, "Also, you need to help me organize a group of people who are willing to go to the Empire with me. However, this is only the first group going to the Empire, and the country will definitely make serious plans. You can mention it to your father first so that he can make some preparations. However, the final decision on who to take to the Empire will be made by Lan Sinian and me."
After hearing his words, Luo Yuhuan, who was just worried about how to help him, became completely interested. He impulsively stood up from the side of the road and said excitedly, "Okay, of course. I'll go and help you find someone right away. As for the personnel, you don't have to worry about it. If it really doesn't work out, get the captain and the others back. You're familiar with them and their personalities, so we can work together. I'll find a way to contact them right away."
"Why are you so anxious?" Qin Changqing cursed with a smile, "Why are you still so petty? You're like a monkey."
Luo Yuhuan was annoyed that these people always had to think a lot before doing anything, and they were always whining and unhappy. But he knew that these people's thoughts made sense, but he was still annoyed!
"You're such a person, ah." Qin Changqing was too lazy to say anything more. He motioned for him to squat down again before continuing, "It's best if the items you collect give people a strong sense of exoticism. They should be appreciated and accepted, and they should also have unique features. Only then will people be willing to pay for them. Oh, and don't want any metal products."
Luo Yuhuan really wanted to run away and soar into the sky at this moment. Hearing this, he replied, "What's the difficulty? Our country is vast and rich in resources. Classical state gifts such as porcelain and silk are definitely unique and exquisite. If those imperial people have never seen them, they will definitely be willing to spend money to buy them after seeing them."
That's true. Qin Changqing nodded in agreement, "Yes, we need this kind of specialty products that won't overdraw the earth's resources. Once we have decided on them, we must make good plans in this regard and never kill the chicken to get the eggs." Otherwise, the earth is so big, and if we don't make a good development plan in advance, we won't know whether the sales channels have been opened by then, and we will end up emptying ourselves out. That would be a real loss.
"Well, you have a point." Luo Yuhuan also calmed down. In fact, he already had a grand plan in his mind. If he could really open up sales channels in the empire, it would not be just a simple trade route. It would be a diplomatic route for better communication with the empire. Naturally, he could not make the decision alone. That would be too ridiculous.
Qin Changqing felt a little satisfied when he saw that he quickly calmed down. Next, it would depend on General Luo's reaction and whether it was worth it for him to hand over the super alloy formula to him.
"By the way, besides these, give me some more cinnabar. I can use it."
"What else do you want? Tell me everything, I can definitely get it done for you." Although Luo Yuhuan was much calmer at this time, the passion to do something big was still high in his heart.
"We'll talk about the rest later." Qin Changqing held a cigarette in his mouth. "Did you see that starship before? It was Lan Sinian's personal starship. He lent it to me for business. This time it's just for testing, so don't make it too complicated."
"Fuck, he's really generous." Luo Yuhuan couldn't help but be amazed. Such a big thing, not to mention China, even for the entire earth, it is definitely a secret weapon at the bottom of the box that people would want to hide in their arms and not let anyone see it... Damn, the imperial people are really rich and powerful. He sighed for a while, and couldn't help thinking, no wonder Qin Changqing is so entangled, this man pampers his wife, probably with all his heart, no one would not be moved.
The two chatted for a while before standing up from the deserted street. It was just that they both drank a little too much just now, and their stomachs were full of high-proof liquor. Now they were a little drunk. Qin Changqing thought to himself, I should get some liquor to the empire when the time comes. Those orcs won't die from drinking it. Oh, I feel dizzy.
"Mr. Qin?"
Qin Changqing was pinching his dizzy forehead and thinking about going back when he heard a voice coming from behind him.
He frowned uncomfortably and turned his head, only to find that the person speaking was the white man who had harassed him at the banquet the night before. He had no interest in this person at all, so he impatiently turned his gaze back and planned to find a car to go back with Luo Yuhuan.
"I didn't expect that we would meet here again. This is what you Chinese people often call fate, right?" Danny stared straight at his face. Qin Changqing's fair skin was slightly red due to drinking, which was really attractive.
"I'm not interested in you." Qin Changqing felt more and more dizzy. There was a mosquito buzzing beside him, and he really wanted to beat it up.
"Who are you? Get out of here, stop being an eyesore." Luo Yuhuan was disgusted when he saw the man smiling with a calculating look on his face, so he rushed up and pushed him.
Danny could patiently pester Qin Changqing, but he had no patience for Luo Yuhuan. He smiled when he heard this. "Master Luo, with all due respect, Mr. Qin is a treasure to our entire species. I hope your country can understand this and not be so petty and intolerant."
"Can't you hear me telling you to get out?!" Luo Yuhuan raised his eyelids and stared at him coldly, "I fucking hate people like you the most. Changqing is my brother, not a fortune, let alone a toy. If you know what's good for you, get out of here right now, or I'll beat you to a pulp!"
"Haha, Master Luo, don't forget that I am not one of you Chinese. If you attack me with your current status, I'm afraid you will be the one who will have a hard time ending it." Facing not Qin Changqing, Danny couldn't help but reveal the arrogance of a white man with a condescending attitude with his every move and every word. He raised his chin proudly and glanced at Luo Yuhuan with disdain. In his eyes, this Chinese man was just a pighead with strength but no brains.
He was met with a merciless punch from Luo Yuhuan. Danny was of similar height, but Luo Yuhuan was a veteran soldier, stained with blood. Danny, a young master who had always hidden behind his uncle, was no match for him. Blood spurted from his nose, and he stared at him in disbelief, his eyes wide with horror. "You dared to attack me! I'm going to file a complaint against you, a barbaric Chinese soldier!"
He then angrily looked at Qin Changqing, who stood indifferently beside him, and complained to him with a buzzing sound, holding his nose: "Mr. Qin, I just admire your courage and want to make friends with you. What did I do wrong? How could your friend be so barbaric?"
Qin Changqing felt that this guy was here just to attract attention, especially now that he was beaten up with a bloody face and acted like a sissy, not daring to fight back but only to complain. It was really a sight to behold. He turned his head impatiently, and just at that moment, a flash of light like a silver bullet flew from the sky. The handsome and cool silver aircraft swished to a stop in front of Qin Changqing. Qin Changqing recognized this aircraft and knew that it had a very nice name: Silver Time.
The door of the aircraft opened with a swish, and a man in a slim black suit walked out of the aircraft.
The man was at least 1.9 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and a pair of straight long legs. He wore a white shirt with a slightly open collar. Apart from that, he was wearing a black suit that seriously wrapped him from head to toe. However, although it was a very formal black suit, it exuded a sexy aura all the time when worn by this man.
The man put one hand in his trouser pocket and the other hand hung casually at his side. As he walked, his long legs swayed gently. He walked in front of Qin Changqing with a restrained and rigorous yet extremely coquettish manner. After stopping, he grabbed the hand hanging by his side and brought it to his lips and kissed it gently. His sapphire blue eyes looked at him lovingly, and he said with a low smile: "My queen, you left me for four hours and twenty minutes. I missed you so much. You won't blame me for taking the initiative to come to you, will you?"
In the past, Qin Changqing would have rolled his eyes at such a corny remark, but this person arrived just in time, giving him a chance to clear his eyes.
"Well, I'm planning to go back too." Qin Changqing thought that he had drunk too much today, and he couldn't take his eyes off Lan Sinian, who was so sexy that made him want to beat him up. He couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart. It turned out that men think with their lower body, and they can't control themselves when they are tempted by beauty.
"It seems I've arrived just in time. It's my honor to take you home in person." His Majesty the Emperor wore a gentlemanly demeanor, but in his heart he was howling like a wolf. How could the Queen be so adorable when she blushed while drunk? I really want to eat her up!
Qin Changqing could see the wolfish look in his eyes, but he didn't want to do anything at this moment. He was helped onto the aircraft by Lan Sinian's strength.
The aircraft quickly disappeared into the horizon as quickly as it had arrived. As for the two people who remained there, the cold-blooded Emperor certainly didn't have the kindness to invite them in the car to disturb his intimacy with the Queen!
Seeing Danny covering his face but looking greedily at the direction where the aircraft disappeared, Luo Yuhuan spat in disgust and quickly turned and left.
It took Danny a while to come back to his senses. He wiped the blood off his face with a gloomy expression, picked up the phone and dialed.
When a low voice came from the phone, Danny said coldly, "Looks like we need to start plan two."
There was a pause on the line, and finally he said, "Don't overdo it."
"I see."
After hanging up the phone, Danny glanced at the direction the aircraft left with a gloomy expression, snorted coldly, and turned away.
He didn't notice that on the opposite corner of this seemingly deserted street, there was a person who had just captured the entire scene with his mobile phone.
※
In the afternoon, the bright sunlight outside the window makes the room seem very cool.
However, the temperature in the room was rising steadily at this time, and two slender figures leaned against the door that had just been closed, entangled tightly together.
Perhaps it was the alcohol, but under the influence of alcohol, Qin Changqing, contrary to his usual passive attitude, took the initiative to hook his arms around Lan Sinian's neck and kissed him passionately. Lan Sinian's strong and powerful body clamored with the desire of a beast, and soon he could not help but drag the queen, who was unusually devoted today, to the bed.
The mattress of the big bed soon sank due to the weight of two adult men. Lan Sinian pressed on Qin Changqing and was about to continue the attack. Suddenly, Qin Changqing turned over with force, and the two immediately exchanged positions, with Qin Changqing sitting astride his thighs.
Lan Sinian laughed and moved his hands to his back, ready to restart the chase, but a slender, beautiful finger pressed on his lips, freezing his movements.
The finger pressed on his lips and hooked it dishonestly. Suddenly, all the blood in Lan Sinian's body seemed to be completely diverted. Part of it rushed to his forehead without any care, and part of it rushed downwards with equal care. His chest heaved violently, and he couldn't help but let out a low growl from his throat, like a beast threatening its enemy while eating.
Qin Changqing's eyes were slightly higher than his at this moment. He half-closed his eyes and looked down at Lan Sinian. He said in a light, yet unquestionable voice, "Don't move."
All the muscles in his body were stretched to the extreme. The hunter who was about to shoot out and catch his prey in the next second suddenly seemed to have pressed the pause button and dared not move.
Qin Changqing's gaze was like a scanner, sweeping across his face inch by inch, and finally landing on his perfectly shaped lips, staring at them motionlessly.
The two of them remained still in this position for a long time. Lan Sinian even couldn't help holding his breath and waiting patiently.
Qin Changqing stared at his lips for a while, closed his eyes, and finally pressed up slowly...
…
It was the next morning when Qin Changqing regained consciousness.
At this moment, he only felt a splitting headache, and his whole body seemed to be broken apart and then reassembled, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
He stared blankly with his eyes open for a while, and the scenes that happened last night began to replay in his mind. He couldn't help but raise his hands to cover his eyes.
Last night was really crazy. His initiative and cooperation drove Lan Sinian completely crazy... If he hadn't been unable to hold on in the end, the two of them would probably have fought until they were exhausted.
The subtle chirping of insects could be heard from the courtyard, and the sunlight cast on the floor, making the quiet room even more peaceful.
The bedside phone rang. Qin Changqing frowned and got up to take a look. It was General Luo calling.
"Changqing, are you awake?" General Luo's gentle and smiling voice came from the microphone.
"Brother-in-law." Qin Changqing laughed, sitting up from the bed and getting dressed. Lan Sinian hadn't known when he got up. The clothes that had been scattered everywhere last night had been washed, and his new, clean clothes were neatly folded at the head of the bed.
"It seems that he has woken up. I was afraid of disturbing you young people's rest, so I called you a little later." General Luo has an older son in his family, and he knows too well about the work and rest habits of young people who don't want to sleep at night and can't get up in the morning.
Qin Changqing smiled. Actually, he usually got up very early. If it weren't for...
"It's like this. Yu Huan came back yesterday and told me what you said to him. I thought about it last night and I don't think it's appropriate to entrust such an important matter to him. You know his temper. Apart from anything else, I'm afraid that if I put such delicate things in his hands, he'll drop them with his rough hands." He said this, worried that Qin Changqing would think he was ungrateful, and continued, "We in the Luo family don't have any talent in this area, and I'm not familiar with it myself. How about this, I recommend someone to you. I've watched them grow up, I know them well, they're steady, and they're also born into a business family and good at dealing with people. They're much more reassuring than that brat Yu Huan."
"Tell me about it." Qin Changqing reached out to take a cigarette, but paused after thinking about it. However, he finally took a cigarette in his hand, but did not smoke it. He just put it under his nose and smelled it, just to satisfy his craving.
"It's the kid from the Tang family, Tang Qian. You may have heard of him. He was also a domestic business elite before the war. He is also young, so it will be more convenient for you to communicate." General Luo said gently.
Qin Changqing had indeed heard of this person; a promising young entrepreneur, not only from an aristocratic family but also possessing considerable personal skills. If he was truly as impressive as the news reports, he would be perfectly suited for this role. However, Qin Changqing was somewhat surprised to learn that the Tang family held equal status with the Luo family in the capital. But then again, they were equally powerful, and while peacetime was peaceful, it was natural for them to be friendly. But when it came to competing interests, who wouldn't rush to reap the benefits?
General Luo probably guessed what he was thinking and explained with a smile, "You don't have to think I have such noble ideas. The truth is, that brat in our family is really not suitable. If you ask him to fight, he will definitely win first place, but in business, he can't do the delicate work of reading people's faces and serving dishes. As for the other young people in our Luo family, it's not that I, as an uncle, look down on them. It's just that these young people have either inherited my grandfather's stubborn temper like that brat, or have inherited their mother's gentle personality. They can do administrative work and practice Tai Chi, but doing business is really difficult for them."
These words really made Qin Changqing look at him with new eyes. Compared with the M countrymen who were scheming and scheming, he admired General Luo's character of sticking to the facts more.
Qin Changqing was silent for a while, neither saying yes nor no. After a long while, he said, "How about this, let's meet first, and then I'll talk to Yu Huan."
"That's fine." General Luo smiled. "You should tell him. Otherwise, if he finds out that I, as his father, ruined his plan, he'll be really mad at me."
"Okay, let's talk about it later." Qin Changqing made an appointment with him and hung up the phone.
The room was quiet for a while before the door opened. Qin Changqing turned around and saw Lan Sinian, looking as if he had just enjoyed a hearty meal of meat and bones, approaching with a smile, carrying food. "I just went out to find some delicious food for you. Honestly, you Chinese people really know how to eat. Qi Feng has been buying them non-stop these past two days. I'm worried he'll be a fat man by the time he gets home."
When Qin Changqing saw him, he felt uncomfortable for some reason, his face flushed a little, and he took the food and started eating.
