Chapter 1476: Noodles
"I want to eat spicy hot pot."
Jiang Xiaohua pointed to a shop next to him that hadn't started business yet and said longingly.
"In the early morning, where would you get spicy hot pot?" Sun Bumian clicked his tongue. "In the early morning, you have to eat raw porridge or rice noodle rolls! Eating something hot and nourishing is better than that spicy hot pot that hurts your stomach, right?"
On the streets of the Lingxu Domain in the early morning, three figures walked side by side on the side of the road. Jian Changsheng wore a mask, looking around sneakily.
"You say... I won't be recognized, right?"
“……?”
"I, I am at least somewhat famous in the Xuanyu Domain, I've been in the newspaper, okay?" Jian Changsheng couldn't help but speak.
"The ones in the newspaper are basically candid shots of your profile, right? And the image quality is so blurry, how could they remember your appearance?" Sun Bumian waved his hand. "Besides, look at how sneaky you look now... You don't look like the famous General Jian at all! People wouldn't recognize you even if they stood in front of you!"
“……”
Jian Changsheng felt that what Sun Bumian said seemed reasonable, but he was also a bit disappointed and sighed regretfully.
"There's still more than an hour before the meeting starts... Let's have breakfast first."
Sun Bumian picked a breakfast shop on the side of the road and walked in. Jian Changsheng and Jiang Xiaohua were indeed a bit hungry and followed closely behind.
The next second,
the three of them were stunned in place simultaneously.
On the first table at the entrance sat two extremely familiar faces.
One was a young man eating properly with a drawing board on his back, and the other was an arrogant hooligan who had almost put his feet on the next table. Both were burying their heads in their noodles, eating with gusto. Seeing the three people walking in from outside, they were also stunned at the same time...
The air suddenly fell into a dead silence.
"What would the three of you like to eat?" The boss didn't notice the strangeness of the atmosphere and greeted them with a full face of smiles.
Sun Bumian put away his expression that looked like he had seen a ghost and replied with a smile:
"Hmm... do you have raw porridge?"
"Sorry, we are a noodle shop."
"Oh, then give me a portion of pork chop noodles."
"Two portions," Jian Changsheng stretched out two fingers.
"Three portions." Jiang Xiaohua was just about to stretch out three fingers, thought for a moment, seemed to feel that he wouldn't have enough to eat, and silently stretched out another one, "...four portions."
"Alright! You three can sit anywhere."
As the boss returned to the kitchen, only Jian Changsheng and the others were left in the breakfast shop.
Heart 9 held it in for a long time and finally couldn't hold it anymore, asking with wide eyes:
"Why are you here?"
"I wanted to ask you, why are you here?" Jian Changsheng immediately asked back.
"We came to... no, we came to attend the meeting!" Heart said righteously. "Didn't that person say if you want to go, then go?"
"Yeah, we also came to attend the meeting..." Jian Changsheng thought for a long time and didn't know what to say, just silently scanned the two of them, "Don't tell me... everyone came, right?"
"Hehe, guess?"
“……”
Sun Bumian and Jiang Xiaohua sat down directly at the next table. Jian Changsheng glanced at the drawing board on Plum 8's back and pointed to it suspiciously:
"What is drawn on this?"
On Plum 8's drawing board, the "Old Man Red King" picture that was only half-drawn was still stuck there. He didn't say a word, took the drawing off directly, and handed it to Jian Changsheng:
"The Red King I drew, it's yours."
"This is the Red King?!"
Jian Changsheng widened his eyes, stared at the painting for a few times, and then, as if a heavy stone in his heart had been put down, he let out a fierce sigh of relief...
What did I say?
The Red King couldn't be that guy Heart 6!
Sun Bumian also leaned over to take a look, then sat back down listlessly. Before long, the boss brought up four bowls of noodles.
Jian Changsheng and Sun Bumian each had a bowl, and Jiang Xiaohua ate two bowls by himself, burying his head in a frenzy. Before long, he had finished all four bowls... The three of them looked up and found that Heart 9 and Plum 8 had finished long ago, and two pairs of eyes were staring at them longingly.
Jian Changsheng: ...
"Boss, check." Jian Changsheng raised his hand helplessly and slapped the money directly on the table, "Pay for the table next to us too."
Heart 9 smiled:
"Thank you Black... er... thank you boss Wubing! Boss is generous!"
Seeing Jian Changsheng making frantic "hush" gestures, even as slow as Heart 9 was, he immediately reacted and changed his words.
"Boss is generous," Plum 8 added.
The five of them looked at each other and stood up at the same time to walk out of the shop.
The boss hurried out from the back kitchen, saw that the five were already leaving, was slightly stunned, and then immediately shouted:
"General Jian, take care, come often!"
Jian Changsheng outside the door stumbled fiercely.
Then the five of them ran away in the blink of an eye as if they had seen a ghost.
The boss shrugged, looked back at the two tables with noodle bowls, and muttered suspiciously:
"Strange... did I not cook it well today?"
……
"Damn! I was recognized!" Jian Changsheng scratched his head, still not having recovered from that sentence just now. "He... no... Square, didn't you say they wouldn't recognize me?!"
Sun Bumian spread his hands helplessly.
"You're a celebrity now, it's hard not to be recognized," Heart 9 grinned and put his arm around his shoulder. "Not bad, rookie, you're growing faster than I thought."
Jian Changsheng smiled embarrassedly, "But the noodles here are really average, they don't taste like much."
"Indeed, it's far worse than the Nanhai Domain," Sun Bumian nodded.
Jiang Xiaohua didn't answer, just touched his stomach, seeming a bit confused.
The five stood on the streets of the Lingxu Domain. Many people around were moving toward a certain direction. Most of them were teenagers or young people, like students... And at the same time, Jian Changsheng also saw a pair of parents pulling a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child, trying to drag him home.
"No! I'm not going home! I want to go to White Dove Square to watch the big meeting!"
"You brat, what do you know! White Dove Square is full of criminals, are you going there to die?!"
"Impossible! Lingxu-jun is there, Lingxu-jun will protect us!"
"I want to see the Twilight Society!"
“……”
Heart 9 looked at this scene with a half-smile. After walking far away, he said leisurely:
"Unexpectedly, there would be a domain that became so lively because of our arrival... Oh, I mean lively in the literal sense."
"...If you don't add the second half, no one would think crookedly."
The five followed the crowd toward White Dove Square. According to the newspaper, this "Century Meeting" between the Lingxu Domain and the Twilight Society was located at White Dove Square, and there were no restrictions on the public listening. Therefore, many bold residents of the Lingxu Domain wanted to join in the fun.
Heart 9's gaze swept through the crowd, and the corners of his mouth lifted involuntarily:
"Really..."
"So many acquaintances..."
