The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Xianyang, Lu Mansion.

Lu Yao, who had just finished having breakfast with Lü Su, received a message about Yi Xiaochuan's current location.

Lu Yao immediately set off to find Yi Xiaochuan, who was a very important part of his next plan.

When Lu Yao met Yi Xiaochuan, he was drinking with an old man.

As Lu Yao approached, he saw that it was indeed Cui Wenzi and Yi Xiaochuan, with a servant standing beside them.

"Xiao Chuan, you really are here."

Lu Yao smiled and approached the two.

Yi Xiaochuan looked up when he heard the voice and saw that it was Lu Yao.

"Brother Yao, it's you! You're in Xianyang? I went to your residence to look for you, but there was no one there."

Yi Xiaochuan stood up excitedly and walked over to Lu Yao.

When Yi Xiaochuan returned to Xianyang, he planned to go find Lu Yao, but Lu Yao had gone to Pei County, and the mansion was empty, with no one there.

The thought that his beloved had gone to the palace to become the Consort of Qin, and that he was powerless to do anything about it, made him extremely depressed, and he would drink and drown his sorrows in alcohol.

I was naturally very happy to see Lu Yao today.

“I haven’t introduced him to you yet, Brother Yao. This is Sanbao. He has had a very difficult life, so I took him in as a servant.”

Yi Xiaochuan introduced it to Lu Yao.

"Greetings, young master."

Sanbao quickly stepped forward to greet Lu Yao.

Lu Yao smiled and nodded.

"Xiao Chuan, you haven't changed at all. Old Cui is here too."

Lu Yao patted Yi Xiaochuan on the shoulder and turned to look at Cui Wenzi.

"I don't have many hobbies, except for drinking a little wine. I came here after hearing about the aroma of wine in Xianyang."

Cui Wenzi picked up the wine gourd, took a sip of wine, and said with a smile.

"In that case, we should go up to the top of the tower; there's plenty of good wine there!"

Lu Yao knew that Cui Wenzi loved wine, but could it really be such a coincidence that he was wherever Yi Xiaochuan was?

Lu Yao guessed it was related to the Beiyan Mountain Man behind him.

The man from Beiyan Mountain has always been very mysterious, and Lu Yao suspects that he is a Taoist practitioner.

He must be very skilled in divination and prediction, otherwise his ability to foresee the future on multiple occasions in the drama cannot be explained.

Perhaps the elixir of immortality was actually made by the people of Beiyan Mountain, and was simply given to Yi Xiaochuan through Cui Wenzi.

"Climbing to a high-rise building? That must be quite expensive."

Yi Xiaochuan scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

Denggaolou is quite famous in Xianyang. The food and drinks are good, and the service is also very good. The only downside is that it's expensive!

"That's not true. This restaurant is owned by me and Lao Gao, and it's free!"

Lu Yao patted his chest with a smile and winked at Yi Xiaochuan.

When Yi Xiaochuan heard that the Denggaolou was actually opened by Lu Yao and Gao Yao, he stared at Lu Yao in disbelief.

"Young and promising."

Cui Wenzi also looked over curiously and couldn't help but sigh.

Denggaolou, a high-end restaurant, caters to high-ranking officials and dignitaries, making a fortune every day. I never expected that it was owned by Lu Yao.

It's true that building high-rise buildings can be very profitable, but unfortunately, most of the income is used to cultivate relationships; otherwise, how could the business survive?

As for where the money went, it naturally went into Fusu's pocket.

As a peripheral advisor, Lu Yao had a low profile in front of Prince Fusu, but after the incident at the high tower, Fusu gained a new understanding of Lu Yao's business acumen.

Unfortunately, Qin merchants had a low social status, and Lu Yao was not highly regarded; he only gained a little more favor in Fusu's eyes.

"Brother Yao, you mean Lao Gao is there too?"

After recovering from his shock, Yi Xiaochuan keenly sensed another layer of meaning in Lu Yao's words.

"As the head of the Denggaolou (a type of building), Lao Gao is naturally there."

Lu Yao said with a smile.

Soon the three of them followed Lu Yao to the Denggao Tower.

Gao Yao also met Yi Xiaochuan. The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then the group took their seats and began drinking.

"This wine is quite good."

Cui Wenzi took a big gulp of the wine from Denggaolou, and his eyes lit up.

"Haha, Brother Cui, you can drink as much as you want from now on."

Gao Yao waved his hand and said in a very magnanimous manner.

After drinking a few cups of wine, Gao Yao told Yi Xiaochuan about Liu Bang's plot to harm them.

Upon hearing this, Yi Xiaochuan frowned and then sighed.

"Old Gao, it's my fault. I never thought Liu Bang would be so shameless."

Yi Xiaochuan clenched his fists and looked apologetically at Gao Yao.

He then told the others about his experience.

When Yi Xiaochuan mentioned Princess Tu'an, Yu Shu, Gao Yao immediately became displeased.

"Yi Xiaochuan! You've fallen for that princess! What will happen to my sister?! How could you abandon my sister like that?!"

Gao Yao pointed angrily at Yi Xiaochuan.

Yi Xiaochuan remained calm and did not try to argue as he had done before.

"Old Gao, we can't go back, I'm sorry!"

Yi Xiaochuan looked somber and said in a low voice.

Gao Yao's anger was instantly extinguished. Yes, they could never go back. What right did he have to make Yi Xiaochuan remain a widow for his sister?

Seeing the two suddenly become distraught, Cui Wenzi was completely baffled.

"What are they talking about?"

Cui Wenzi moved closer to Lu Yao and asked curiously.

"Oh, it's just that we can't go home. Xiao Chuan and Lao Gao's sister liked each other."

Lu Yao touched his nose and gave a vague explanation.

"Ahem, let's not talk about that anymore. Come on, Lao Gao, this is Lao Cui and Xiao Chuan's first time visiting Denggaolou, let's toast them."

Lu Yao picked up his wine glass and made a suggestion to the group.

Lu Yao was reminding the two of them that there were outsiders present, so they shouldn't say everything.

The two reacted instantly and quickly picked up their glasses.

After a few rounds of drinks, the atmosphere became lively again.

Yi Xiaochuan shared his experiences in Tu'an with great enthusiasm, but when he mentioned that Yu Shu was forced into a marriage alliance for Tu'an, his expression gradually became melancholy.

The group exchanged glances, unsure how to comfort Yi Xiaochuan.

"Xiao Chuan, there's always a way out, let's drink!"

Lu Yao knew that at this moment, only alcohol could be Yi Xiaochuan's best companion.

He came to find Yi Xiaochuan this time to go to a very important place—Lanchi.

At this time, Qin Shi Huang was traveling incognito. According to the plot of the film and television series, Qin Shi Huang would pass by Lanchi on his way back to Xianyang.

Lu Yao planned to try to assassinate Qin Shi Huang. If successful, he would surely gain a large sum of world origin.

But Lanchi is not small. Lu Yao only remembered that it was in a bamboo grove in Lanchi, but there were no less than a dozen such places.

Therefore, Yi Xiaochuan is needed to lead the way. As the chosen one of the mythological world, Yi Xiaochuan will naturally find Qin Shi Huang for him.

Lu Yao then inquired about Yi Xiaochuan's recent plans.

"I was just planning to take my three kids on a trip to enjoy the scenery and relax."

Yi Xiaochuan, slightly drunk, said with a smile.

Lu Yao's expression shifted slightly, and he thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

"Oh, I've been free lately, so I'll go out and have some fun with you."

Lu Yao said to Yi Xiaochuan with a smile.

"Oh, with Brother Yao accompanying me, this trip to relax is sure to be wonderful and enjoyable!"

Yi Xiaochuan laughed and put his arm around Lu Yao's shoulder, saying loudly.

Lu Yao smiled slightly, raised his wine glass, and drank with Yi Xiaochuan.

Soon the party was over and everyone was gone. Lu Yao said goodbye to Gao Yao, and Sanbao helped Yi Xiaochuan and Cui Wenzi, and then they went home together.

After settling the two into the guest room, Lu Yao washed up and returned to his room.

Seeing the flickering candlelight inside the room, Lu Yao's heart stirred slightly.

"Why isn't Susu asleep yet?"

Seeing Lü Su embroidering clothes by the bedside, Lu Yao walked over to her and hugged her.

"I would like to make some clothes for you, my husband. I don't trust the servants to make them."

Lu Su held Lu Yao's hand and said softly.

Lu Yao suddenly picked up Lü Su and carried her to the bed amidst her shyness.

The bed curtains fell, and the candlelight went out.
