Chapter 47 The thugs feed the baby (1)
Chapter 47: The thug Guan Ying (I)
Tang Li, Shen Shiqi and Cao Wushang left, targeting the southeast.
The Baiyue environment is complex, and the Qin army went to fight Baiyue, which is not optimistic. Of course, with the Qin army's combat effectiveness, victory is inevitable. But how many people will die for this victory? It may be an astronomical number! Liu Kan thinks so, and Tang Li thinks so too.
The longer he had been in contact with Tang Li, the more Liu Kan could feel his extraordinaryness.
This person is very keen and reacts very quickly. In some things, Tang Li's views are surprisingly similar to Liu Kan.
Regarding the future of Qin, Liu Kan has memories of future generations, so it is not surprising to know.
But Tang Li is different. He is a real person living in this era. It is indeed extraordinary to be able to share the same views with Liu Kan. Liu Kan can even feel that Tang Li's talents are probably not weaker than Xiao He. But why is he unknown? Perhaps only history knows the reason... At least Liu Kan believes that Tang Li is very clever.
Liu Kan’s plan is related to wine.
Only he and Tang Li Shenshiqi know the specific content.
Cao Wushang has a big mouth and can't hide things in his heart. A person is a good person, but some things are too rough and cannot rest assured.
So Liu Kan could only hide this matter.
However, Tang Li and the other two left, Liu Kan felt empty in her heart.
When friends are together, they may not feel anything. But after they part, they realize that friendship is so important. When Tang Li and the other three are there, Liu Kan will not feel very empty, but now he is a little uneasy.
Ren Ao and Cao Shen are also friends, but they are obviously not as good as Tang Li and the other two.
Especially Cao Shen, this person has a deep mind and will not be too close to anyone, nor will he be too unfamiliar with anyone.
In Shen Shiqi's words, "In the vast Pei County, perhaps only Xiao He can let Cao Shen speak the truth."
Xiao He?
What a pity... This model of a good prime minister in later generations also had a close attitude towards Liu Kan, with a layer of paper between them.
Even if Liu Kan deliberately approached, Xiao He would distract the topic in a few words.
Do you disdain to get close to Liu Kan? Or do you have any other thoughts? Liu Kan couldn't explain it clearly. But he could feel that Xiao He seemed to be observing something, waiting for something... Observing everyone around him, even Ren Xiao.
Choose?
Is Xiao He preparing to choose what?
Time flies quickly, and early summer is coming in a blink of an eye.
After summer, the temperature rises significantly, and there are often two light rains. However, it does not make people feel cooler, but it is even more dry and stuffy. Even sitting in the hall and drinking the pulp that has been iced with well water cannot dispel the uncomfortable feeling.
The First Emperor has arrived in Pengcheng now.
During Langya, Emperor Shi met a alchemist named Xu Shi (pronounced fu, namely Xu Fu), claiming that there were three islands overseas, and that they could seek immortal medicine and live forever. In the era of that time, the art of immortals was quite popular, and even Ying Zheng could not avoid it.
Who doesn’t want to live forever?
The First Emperor is already forty-one this year. Compared with the six Kanto countries that were swept and joined forces with each other, both energy and body, it is much worse. What's more, Ying Zheng was determined to become an emperor that had never been seen in the ages, able to surpass the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and establish a foundation for eternity. When a person reaches a high place, his thoughts will naturally be different. The person that the First Emperor believes most is himself.
Xu Shi's lies were exactly what Emperor Qin Shi thought.
After some talks, the First Emperor ordered Xu City to prepare three thousand boys and girls, bringing enough food and grass for three years, and escorted by elite Qin troops to go out to sea to find three fairy mountains in Penglai, Fang Abbot, and Yingzhou, and seeking immortal medicine for immortality. Once this order was released, the world was in an uproar.
When Liu Kan heard the news, she was shocked.
Why did I forget this? No matter how books in later generations evaluate Xu Shi, in Liu Kan's heart, he was a charlatan, a liar, and a traitor. The so-called Three Gods Mountain is just a beautiful cover.
But what if you know?
Did you go to Ying Zheng and tell him not to believe Xu Shi, this guy is a liar?
The charlatan liar is naturally his way to cheat. Not to mention whether he can meet the First Emperor alive, if he sees it... the First Emperor will believe it? When a person starts to believe only himself, the opinions of others will be very difficult to listen to.
Liu Kan was thinking about how to add some difficulty to this matter?
But this is really difficult, even ten times or a hundred times more difficult than killing Liu Bang. With Xu Shi's status and Liu Kan's identity, it is impossible for him to see Xu Shi himself. Liu Kan thought about it for a few days, but couldn't come up with a good idea.
On this day, Liu Kan was talking with Wang Ji about the method of brewing.
In theory, Liu Kan is a hundred times better than Wang Ji, but in experience, Wang Ji is more experienced than Liu Kan.
How can many ancient brewing techniques be linked to Liu Kan's Jiubrewing Method and produce extraordinary results? Wang Ji is a woman with rich experience. She could support a piece of the sky with the turbid wine she brewed at the time, and she was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Brother A Kan, if you follow the method you mentioned, the consumption of grain and grain is very huge. I have never heard of such a method of brewing wine... can it be successful? Moreover, I think even if it succeeds, it will be difficult to promote it."
Liu Kan asked in surprise: "Why?"
"According to the method you mentioned, it should be spicy wine. But... if the taste is too intense, it is difficult for ordinary people to accept... Well, at least in my opinion, the people in Sishui County cannot accept it, but they are afraid that they will not be grateful for their efforts."
Although Wang Ji is now a servant of the Liu family, Liu Kan still respects this woman very much.
At the beginning, Wang Ji wanted to call Liu Kan as the master, but Liu Kan couldn't help but disagree, and Mrs. Kan didn't agree. In the end, Mrs. Kan used a tough attitude to ask Wang Ji to call Liu Kan by her name. However, Wang Xin's name for Liu Kan must be the master.
This is also Wang Ji's little thought.
When Liu Kan heard Wang Ji say this, her face showed some disappointment.
After a moment of silence, he whispered: "Actually, the most important thing I brew this kind of wine is not to drink it, but to save my life."
"Help?"
Liu Kan smiled, "Wine has many uses, but not just for drinking. Drinking a small amount can promote blood circulation in the body and have the effect of strengthening the body. However, if you drink too much, it will be harmful if you drink too much... In addition, adding different drugs can produce different effects. If you are injured, disinfecting it with this kind of strong alcohol can have a good effect."
Wang Ji mostly couldn't understand some of the nouns that Liu Kan said.
However, this would not prevent her from worshiping Liu Kan.
"Who are you looking for?"
At this time, Wang Xin's voice suddenly came from the courtyard.
Immediately afterwards, I heard someone shouting outside: "A Kan, A Kan... hurry up, come out quickly, there are people making trouble, making trouble, making trouble, making trouble..."
Liu Kan came out and saw that it was Zhou Chang.
I saw him sweating profusely, blushing in his face and thick neck, and he tried hard to say the whole thing, but the more anxious he was, the less he couldn't speak.
"Lao Zhou, is someone in the store causing trouble?"
"Making trouble, making trouble...is to make trouble..."
Zhou Chang finally finished speaking, panting, obviously it took a lot of effort.
Without saying a word, Liu Kan turned around and entered the house, took off the Wushan Sword from the wall, and was about to go with Zhou Chang.
"A Kan, don't make trouble... Put down the sword!"
Mrs. Kan also heard Zhou Chang's shouting and walked out of the inner hall. She happened to see Liu Kan pulling a sword out, so she hurriedly stopped her.
"Aunt, someone is causing trouble. Brother Akan doesn't take the guy, wouldn't it be dangerous?"
"But that Qin Fa..."
Wang Ji whispered: "Auntie, have you forgotten? Brother Akan is now a master. According to Qin law, if you have something to do, you can wear weapons, and you cannot carry weapons only if you have nothing to do. Isn't something wrong now? If you don't let him bring weapons, what if you have three long and two short..."
Mrs. Kan said, "I forgot about this. But A Kan, you can carry a sword, but you are not allowed to hurt people's lives."
Liu Kan smiled bitterly, "I understand!"
During this fight, there is no sight in the sword and gun. Who dares to say that it will not hurt people's lives?
It depends on the situation. If the other party really wants to cause trouble, don’t blame me for being ruthless. Thinking of this, Liu Kan pulled Zhou Chang out.
On the way to Pei County, Liu Kan asked, "Lao Zhou, who is causing trouble? Why is causing trouble?"
Perhaps Zhou Chang felt much more at ease when he saw Liu Kan taking action, and he was not as troubled as he was when he was anxious earlier.
"I'm a foreigner!"
"Foreigner?" Liu Kanqi said: "Will people dare to make trouble in our place?"
Zhou Chang said: "That guy is unreasonable... Our cellar wine was sold out two days ago, but he insisted on cellar wine. He also said that if he didn't give him cellar wine, he would smash our storefront. Lao Cheng said a few words to him and was injured by him with one punch.
The county magistrate took Mr. Xiao and the butcher out of the city to inspect, so he was not in the city.
A Kan, you don’t know how arrogant that kid is… He also said that there are no heroes in Pei County, and you are just a false reputation.”
After Zhou Chang stammered and was silent for a while, he suddenly said something again.
"A Kan, someone is making trouble!"
