Back Off, Let Me Come

Xun Zhen was secretly relieved when he heard this.

He could also see that Chu Yao was considered the leader among Shen Tang's staff. As long as the other party was willing to come forward to resist this matter, it would basically be a success. As for killing first and telling later, would it offend Mr. Shen? This can be regarded as a small test for Xun Zhen.

In the mind of Lord Shen, which one is more important, the life and death of the people in the pass, or the five thousand taels of gold?

A person who is obsessed with things outside himself and loses his benevolent heart is not a benevolent person, not a wise person, and not the person he is looking for.

Perhaps seeing the light of hope, the atmosphere in the tent changed from the solemn and solemn atmosphere before to become relaxed and joyful. Chu Jie even took out a few jars of wine from his collection. The so-called treasured wine is actually the military supplies sent by the Longwu County Government.

Literary scholars and courageous warriors, except for a few oddballs, all have a good capacity for drinking, and can drink several bottles without getting drunk.

Chu Jie once again expressed his gratitude to Xun Zhen and celebrated his smooth return to the customs. Naturally, the latter could not refuse.

"The conditions in the army are poor, so I can only feel wronged."

Xun Zhen returned the courtesy: "I don't dare to accept it."

As soon as he drank it, he had some drinking problems.

It’s not that the drinks are bad—

On the contrary, this is definitely the best wine Xun Zhen tasted. The reason why I say "there was something wrong with drinking" is purely because the effect of this wine is very similar to the top-quality wine popular in Tianhai, Shangnan and other places. It's just that the taste of the two is not on the same level at all.

Compared with the fine wine in front of me, the wine from Tianhai and Shangnan seems too bland...

Xun Zhen frowned and blinked back to normal.

After a brief drink, everyone dispersed.

Xun Zhen got on well with Kang Shi, so they arranged to stay in Kang Shi's tent temporarily. The two hit it off immediately, and even held candles and talked at night. Xun Zhen smiled and agreed to this arrangement. After returning to the camp, he seemed to casually ask about the fine wine at the banquet.

Longwu County is barren, and Yongguguan is bitterly cold.

How can I buy dozens or even hundreds of jars of wine with this kind of money? This wine is only seen in the homes of dignitaries and famous families.

"Oh, that wine was brewed with a secret recipe handed down from my lord's ancestors." Regarding Xun Zhen's doubts, Kang Shi generously answered, "If I didn't have this unique skill, where would my lord have the money to run the entire Heyin County? He is about to pick fruits. , was miserably dismissed.”

It is still a poorer and more dangerous place than Ha Yin.

Xun Zhen said again: "I was lucky enough to get a jar before, but the taste was bland, far less rich and delicious than what we had today. But the secret recipe in Lord Shen's hand was leaked or was imitated?"

Kang Shi: "..."

His expression stiffened.

Is there any secret recipe handed down from ancestors?

I don’t know about other places, but this is the only one in the northwest.

Xun Zhenzhen had drunk something similar, it was probably——

Kang Shi looked unnatural: "My lord also knows that wealth should not be revealed. Once this kind of wine is leaked, it will inevitably attract countless literati and brave warriors to plunder. Therefore, he will hand over the fine wine brewed every year to The Tianhai Xu family is run by Xu Jie. Our Lord has never intervened in the subsequent operations. The altar in Hanzhangde may be the work of profiteers..."

He cleared up the matter of Shen Tang mixing water and selling wine.

This is not a lie by Kang Shi. At most, he is saying that half of it is left and half of it. With Chunqiu's brushwork, Xu Jie is not completely wronged. Xu Jie was smuggling and selling it to areas outside Tianhai, and it was indeed adulterated. I don’t know what kind of wine Xun Zhen drank.

Xun Zhen stared: "...It's actually like this..."

Did he drink a jar of water mixed with wine?

Kang Shi blurted the matter out in the name of haha, and decisively changed the subject: "Hanzhang also likes fine wine?"

Xun Zhen said: "Of course I like it."

Kang Shi: "Then Hanzhang will be blessed in the future."

Xun Zhen waved her hand and said: "Shen Jun's wine is very expensive. One bottle of wine can save many families of common people. We cannot leave the common people suffering for nothing just for the sake of temporary appetite. It would be good to make more money. What a waste."

If Shen Jun and him look at each other...

Most of the money earned by the former is spent by him.

Well, think of it this way -

What does a few jars of wine mean?

It must be said that Xun Zhen's words were very popular. After in-depth conversation, he found that their views on many things were surprisingly consistent. Kang Shi fell in love with this person more and more, and was determined to keep this person for his lord. Furthermore——

A literary scholar who only needs money to ignore the upper limit can even decide the outcome in one fell swoop at a critical moment!

No amount of yellow and white things can buy this.

Xun Zhen wanted to get close to him, and Kang Shi wanted to win over him.

Lang has feelings and Lang has intentions.

The progress bar reaches the heart-wrenching stage every minute.

The two talked about everything. Kang Shi also intended to let Xun Zhen know about his lord and the members of his lord's tent, and he talked eloquently. The first one mentioned was Chu Yao. Only then did Xun Zhen know that the gray-haired young man Chu Yao was actually one of the three heroes of Chu State back then!

When looking for a job, you should not only look at the boss's personality, but also the people under the boss. Are they a bastard or an elite? The quality of colleagues and working atmosphere are very important.

Obviously, Chu Yao’s weight is heavy enough!

Kang Shi mentioned Gu Chi, Jiang Sheng and himself again.

The first two are both famous, and Jiang Sheng is an acquaintance of Xun Zhen.

Gu Chi's reputation was greater than that of Jiang Sheng, and Xun Zhen had heard about it after traveling all over the country. At first, he was worried that it would be difficult to get along with him, but after listening to Kang Shi's words about how loyal and capable Gu Chi was, he decided that seeing is believing. Among the three, Kangshi had been in official service for a short time.

But he has Yan Xingning to endorse him.

The mere fact that Kang Shi and Xun Zhen had a common friend was enough to show that their status was extremely close.

After all, birds of a feather flock together and people flock together.

the last one--

Kang Shi hesitated, but said it anyway.

Then--

He watched helplessly as Xun Zhen, who was sitting elegantly just now, jumped on the spot and asked him with a fierce expression.

"Who are you talking about?"

Kang Shi's heart skipped a beat when he saw this posture: "...I, my cousin, the Qi family name is good, the character is Yuanliang..."

Xun Zhen was stunned, and her anger subsided a little.

Sitting back, he was a little confused: "Your cousin?"

"Yes, it's Yuanliang. Does Hanzhang recognize him?"

Kang Shi was very familiar with Xun Zhen's reaction.

Exactly the same as the original Jiang Sheng!

Xun Zhen frowned deeply, as if she was remembering some disgusting person or thing, and said in an uneasy tone: "If this person is Ji Shou's cousin... then I must have mistaken him. To be honest, Ji Shou said that he had talked to a Scholars with the same name and surname have a grudge, but no one has been arrested in these years... When I first heard the name of my enemy, I lost my temper and asked Ji Shou to forgive me."

Kang Shi: "..."

His heart felt cold.

What kind of hatred is it if you can't help but make innuendo?

It's okay not to mention it, but Xun Zhen couldn't suppress his anger when he mentioned it: "This hatred is so big, I only have one son... You don't know how many people there are... Oh, don't mention him, just one son..." You can’t help but get angry just by mentioning this person, it’s not worth it!”

When I was healthy, my scalp felt numb.

"Could it be the revenge of killing my son?" There is no solution!

Xun Zhen: "That's not true. My rebellious son is still alive and well. He was just instigated by this person to separate from me..."

As for how to instigate it...

To what extent were you centrifuged, and what did you do...

Xun Zhen didn't mention it.

But the look in his eyes as if he wanted to kill someone was very serious.

Kang Shi: "..."

At this moment, he particularly wanted to catch Qi Shan, come over and beat him up, so that he could make enemies everywhere. He thought he could avoid the fifteenth grade if he could avoid it in the first grade? Good guy, the enemies are knocking on the door! What's even more troublesome is that they still need this "enemy" to guard the gate!

Qi Yuanliang, ah no...

Tan Lezheng, look at the evil you have done!
