Chapter 116: The Firebird is Attentive to Visit

"I don't know that General Jiang is visiting the shop. Tang is missing and neglected! Please forgive me!" Tang Huaide bowed respectfully.

Jiang Lie smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Tang doesn't have to be so polite, please sit down!" Although this is a restaurant run by Tang Huaide, Jiang Lie is obviously a guest and Tang Huaide is the master, but Jiang Lie invites Tang Huaide to sit down, Tang Huaide still dares not refuse to obey.

Then, Azhen also came in.

As soon as Ah Zhen saw Jiang Lie, he hurriedly saluted: "The little woman has seen General Jiang!"

Jiang Lie said enthusiastically: "Sit, sit down, don't be polite!"

The waiter asked, "What kind of wine and food should the guest order?"

Tang Huaide's eyes smiled into two slits: "General Jiang, just order whatever you want, as long as the dishes you can cook in the small shop, I will give you all the dishes you can make! I told General Jiang that when General Jiang goes to the small shop to spend, he will be free of charge, which is not a joke. So this meal has to be considered as a invitation from Mr. Tang!"

Jiang Lie shook his head: "Shopkeeper Tang, don't be so polite. We have all eaten dinner and can't eat too much. Waiter, just serve a few plates of snacks, and you'll be spared. I'll ride a horse and don't drink, so I'll have a pot of fruit tea. Shopkeeper Tang, don't say anything about treating guests, if everyone asks you to treat you, what business will you do?"

Tang Huaide smiled and said, "Then let's follow General Jiang!"

So the waiter nodded and turned around and went out.

Jiang Lie smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Tang, I said I would come to see you in a few days, but since then, I have been busy with a lot of things. After a job, there will be new things to be busy with, so I have never had time to come and have a good look. Tonight, Lie happened to pass by, so I came to visit him."

Tang Huaide nodded and smiled, "The shop always welcomes General Jiang! I wonder who this person is?" He said and pointed at Yuan Nan'er.

Jiang Lie looked at Yuan Nan'er and smiled and said, "This is Princess Mumu, the daughter of Prince Gang, and my wife whom I have not passed away. By the way, we will get married the day after tomorrow. If Manager Tang can make any trouble, he is welcome to the humble house for a wedding."

Tang Huaide said in surprise: "It turns out to be His Highness Princess! I am a man named Tang Huaide, who is the princess! General Jiang and His Highness Princess visit the shop, which really makes the shop full of glory! Tang wishes the general and His Highness a happy marriage for a hundred years and a son soon!"

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Tang!" Jiang Lie bowed, "I think your store's business is booming, so I guess Shopkeeper Tang has already changed his past? It shouldn't be the same mistake again, right? Miss Azhen, how are you doing after so long?"

Azhen whispered: "Thank you, General Jiang for your concern, the little woman is doing well."

Tang Huaide smiled and said, "General Jiang, now the shop has a purpose, which is to take into account both the guests and the workers. We cannot treat the workers unfairly to please the guests, nor can we offend the guests in order to protect the workers. We should solve the problems that can be resolved peacefully in private as much as possible. If the guests are too much, I will report to the government. If the workers are too much, they should deduct money and be fired."

Jiang Lie said with relief: "Shopkeeper Tang is really good at doing good. Shopkeeper Tang, there should be no officers and soldiers of the Divine Lion Army causing trouble these days, right?"

Tang Huaide shook his head and said, "General Jiang, don't think about it carefully. Last time you dealt with Wang Meng, the entire Shenliu City was full of controversy. You said, who dares to do things that shouldn't be done? Isn't that repeating Wang Meng's mistake? General Jiang is safe, no one dares to be in the officers and soldiers of the Shenliu Legion."

Jiang Lie nodded and said, "That's good, I'm relieved. Miss Azhen, come and sing a song."

Azhen stood up and said, "I wonder what song General Jiang wants to listen to?"

Jiang Lie looked at Yuan Nan'er and smiled and said, "I wonder what song Princess Mu Mu wants to listen to?"

Yuan Nan'er gave Jiang Lie a blank look: "General Jiang is the leader."

Jiang Lie smiled and said, "Then I'll ask Miss Azhen to have a good song, and it's appropriate."

So Azhen played the pipa and sang a song he had with him. Although Jiang Lie could not understand the lyrics at all, just listening to this tune made him feel very pleasant.

"General Jiang, Princess Mu Mu, Tang took his leave first." Tang Huaide said and bowed and left.

After the dishes were served, the songs were not stopped, the candlelight was not over, the wormwood fragrance was not over, and the poetry still remained. Although there was no wine, a faint blush appeared on the cheeks of Jiang Lie and Yuan Nan'er. Perhaps this was one of the reasons why Huaidelou became the number one restaurant in Lion City. No matter how ordinary side dishes were combined with this romantic atmosphere, they all looked particularly high-end.

The songs were melodious, and Jiang Lie and Yuan Nan'er were reluctant to speak, for fear of breaking the elegant artistic conception. So, the two just smiled at each other. Although there were endless sweet words, everything was indifferent.

After a while, both of them had enough food and drink, so they got up and left. Qi Mo got enough rest and took them to the suburbs in a short while.

Yuan Nan'er asked, "It's been a big night, what are you doing here?"

Jiang Lie took Yuan Nan'er off the horse and smiled and said, "Aren't you going to go above the moon? I have to send a scout to explore the road. If it is too dangerous above the moon, we won't go."

Yuan Nan'er chuckled: "Scout? Explore the way? Could it be that there are scouts in this place who can go to the moon to explore the way?"

Jiang Lie held Yuan Nan'er's waist with his left hand, raised his right hand, condensed a ball of fireball, and said with a smile: "It's not that there are scouts in this place, but that this place is more suitable for sending scouts."

As he spoke, the fireball in Jiang Lie's hand gradually deformed, fire wings emerged on both sides, fire tails emerged at the back end, fire heads emerged at the front end, fire claws emerged at the bottom. When Yuan Nan'er was dumbfounded, the fireball had turned into a lifelike firebird like a sparrow.

Concreting flames is a skill that can only be possessed by Liaoyuan Realm. When the fire burned the carp army's granary, Jiang Lie tried to release firebirds, fire bees, fire bats, etc. for the first time, but he could not accurately control their movements at that time. Thoughts are a major focus of fire control techniques, Jiang Lie wanted to try to use the mind to control the firebird.

When Yuan Nan'er saw that fire could turn into a bird for the first time, she asked in surprise: "Is this firebird your scout? Can it fly to the moon?"

Jiang Lie raised his right hand high: "It's so obedient. If I let it go west, it dare not go east. It's for you to explore the way, give it a name."

Yuan Nan'er pursed her lips and thought for a moment, and said, "I have always yearned for being able to fly above the moon, and it carries my thoughts about the moon. In any case, this thought is eternal. It symbolizes eternal thoughts, permanence thoughts, permanence thoughts. Just call it "permanence thoughts"!"

Jiang Lie smiled silly and said, "I thought you would give a beast name, such as Xiaohong, Xiaohuang, Xiaohuo, etc. I didn't expect you to give it a personal name! You are still such a poetic and picturesque name!"

Yuan Nan'er said coquettishly: "Little Red and Xiao Huang are so earthy? It is unique and extraordinary. It should have a unique name! I want to call it 'Nian Heng'!"

"Okay, okay!" Jiang Lie nodded desperately, then shook his right hand, "Go! Nian Heng!"

With a command, "Nian Heng" soared into the sky, leaving behind a few sparks of stars.

Jiang Lie knew very well that "Nianheng" had a way but no return. Although there were demons and gods in this world, and many incredible things that science could not explain, it was not a perfect place. After all, the earth was still under his feet, and the boundless universe outside the sky was still. Therefore, "Nianheng" could not rush out of the atmosphere at all.

As expected, after a moment, Jiang Lie could not feel the control of the firebird's mind. He thought that it had dissipated into smoke because the air was thin and could not continue to burn, so he sighed.

Yuan Nan'er saw that there was no smile on Jiang Lie's face and frowned. He knew something was wrong and asked, "Is it..."

Jiang Lie nodded and said seriously: "Above the clouds, there is a barrier, a barrier that isolates the world and the sky. It can't cross that barrier and disappears there."

Yuan Nan'er looked panicked: "Is it... dead?"

"Maybe I can say that." Jiang Lie half turned around and hugged Yuan Nan'er, "It's okay, it has no life, it just disappears like a wisp of blue smoke after the fire is extinguished. It has no consciousness, so there will be no pain."

Yuan Nan'er sobbed and said, "In my opinion, it is alive, it is alive. It...it is dead..."

Jiang Lie never expected that the dissipation of a firebird would make Yuan Nan'er cry. He knew that no matter how he coaxed him, it would be useless. Even if millions of firebirds were created, it was not the "Mianheng" in Yuan Nan'er's heart. So Jiang Lie had to regret that he had made a mistake. He knew that the firebird had gone but never returned, but he still had to play like this.
