Chapter 16 Eventful Autumn

Looking at Ding Ning who casually threw the thick porcelain bowl into the basin, Changsun Qianxue, who was packing the newly brewed wine into small jars, frowned and said unhappily: "Even such a thing as a city is bothering you?"

Ding Ning naturally knew that with Changsun Qianxue's perception, the conversation he had to hear clearly before. He also frowned and said, "This is not an ordinary matter in the city. The two floors only occupy the rent business of a small area in the south of our city. But I heard that most of the dark kilns and gambling houses in Changling account for a total of the total, and they have been in operation for more than ten years, and the foundation is already very stable. I have not paid much attention to Jinlin Tang before. It seems that on the surface, it is just doing some horse gangs and transportation businesses. Suddenly, I jumped out to grab the territory of two floors. I don't know what happened behind this."

“So what?”

Changsun Qianxue looked at him coldly and said indifferently, "No matter whether it is a two-story building or a Jinlin Tang, it is not the dogs raised by those big men in the temple. The left and right are just some of the clans in the court that are not evenly divided, so I will just divide them again."

"It may be like this elsewhere, but the capitals of each dynasty are not that simple."

Ding Ning understood what she was thinking. He shook his head gently and explained patiently: "The scale of the capitals of each dynasty is much different from the rest of the big cities. Take Changling as an example. The population of the previous dynasty had reached millions, especially when it was destroyed by Han, Zhao, and Wei, and a large number of women and children were sent to Changling as slaves. After that, there were no restrictions on moving in. Until today, the population of the long-distance living has probably doubled, not to mention the number of travelers and caravans from various countries. This is just a matter of more than ten years... those of the previous dynasty.

The power of the aristocratic family has not collapsed in just over a decade. Now even those marquises' houses, they still have to choose those aristocratic families to marry and use some power. Changling is too complicated and intertwined, and no one can penetrate too deeply, even Yan Xiang and Li Xiang. Otherwise, according to the abilities and ideas of the two, there will be so many sects in Changling now, and at most there are only a few left to work hard for them."

"The time is too short, and there are too many things to be managed in the court and the country, and you have to cherish your own party members. There are countless dragons hidden in the city of Changling. If you want to fight with other courts, you can do your best. But if you really want to make these dragons obey them, you might have broken a few arms and you can't even keep your position in the court."

After a pause, Ding Ning continued, "In addition, the capitals of each dynasty are not very different. Although the emperor's son has been established for a long time, the emperor's son has been born too many, and the land of the nobles who were enfeoffed will not be taken back. The power of the aristocratic families and princes can even shake the decisions in the palace. Which prince can succeed and which woman can be the queen depends on whether the woman's family has absolute advantage during that period."

Changsun Qianxue understood what Ding Ning meant, and these words reminded her of the past about her, and a layer of frost slowly covered her face.

But at this time Ding Ning didn't notice her expression. He thought of the hunchbacked old man in the fish market with a black bamboo stick. He thought of the price he paid to make concessions and make the Qin Dynasty different from the other dynasties many years ago. He felt a little heavy, and he unconsciously lowered his head.

"As you said, if the city sect is just a dog raised by someone, the casualties will be smaller. However, most of the city sects in Changling only give benefits to some big people. The relationship between mutual use is the most feared thing. Which big person is now ambitious and secretly trying to promote it, and want to reorganize the layout of some places. This will be more bloody, and I don't know how many people will die."

"I'm not afraid of killing people, but I'm afraid of extra trouble. Too messy, I have to make some clues, so I have to spend a lot of effort. Moreover, we can't even reveal the identity of a practitioner now. I'm not even in the third realm, and I'm involved in it, and I don't know what consequences it will bring." When Ding Ning said with his head down, what he was worried about was the hunchbacked old man in the fish market and the person behind him, would he also get involved in this storm?

Changsun Qianxue's eyes were very cold. She finally had no interest in what Ding Ning said, because for her, Ding Ning's plan was disrupted, his cultivation was still too low, and even whether his plans could be achieved was his business.

There is only one thing she does in Changling, which is to surpass all the practitioners who are walking ahead of her.

All she had to consider was her sword and her cultivation level. She could not even leave this wine shop every day, which was the simplest.

She was just as simple as before.

...

What the yellow-shirt master Xu Nian said is right. Although he is very concerned about making wine, the wine shop of Changsun Qianxue and Ding Ning is indeed the best-business shop in Wutongluo.

Near noon, the tables in the wine shop were almost full, and most of them were diners who brought their own food and food to serve wine.

Ding Ning was weakly lying on the counter and dozing, but his ears were sensitively capturing every word in the air.

A carriage drove into the sycamore tree and stopped under the green wine flag. The passenger on the carriage jumped down quickly and walked into the wine shop gate.

This is a young man wearing an eggplant-colored python satin dress, with his refreshing and shiny black hair on top of his head with two blue straps.

In Changling, only foreigners in foreign lands would do this.

The Qin people in Changling usually just simply put their hair on their backs, or tied them on their backs. Even those noble people were only used to using jade rings to hang their hair around, or using jade hairpins to scatter their hair.

The stranger picked up a table with an empty seat and sat down, waved his hand to Ding Ning, who was knocking on the counter, and shouted, "Waiter, come and drink."

All the drinkers in the shop looked at him and smiled maliciously.

Ding Ning raised his head and yelled lazily: "If you want to drink, you should take it yourself. This restaurant is the rule."

Such a big stand?

With such a big stand and such a good business, is the wine in this small wine shop really that good?

The young man in the eggplant-colored python satin dress was stunned for a moment, and finally realized why the drinkers around him looked at him as if they were looking at a hammer.

He stood up with some anger and walked to Ding Ning.

"Twenty copper coins per pot. Five copper coins per dish of salt water peanuts." Before he could speak, Ding Ning pointed out the wine pots and plates of peanuts on the counter, signaling him to pick them up.

The young man frowned slightly, and he couldn't say anything. He threw out twenty copper coins and just took a pot of wine.

When he returned to his table, the young man looked a little arrogant when drinking. He didn't like an ordinary winery who took a small cup and drank slowly, but opened the lid of the pot and drank it into his mouth.

However, in the next moment, the young man's face became extremely ugly, and his throat seemed to be suddenly pinching by someone. With a "pop", a sip of wine that had reached his throat was sprayed directly from his mouth.

"It's so sour and astringent, it's like mixed with rotten rice washing water. Can this be considered wine!"

He glanced at the cup of the surrounding drinkers, then into his pot, and his fingers trembled with anger. He couldn't help but scream loudly, "The wine lees are not filtered out. Such things are worthy of being called wine! Do you have such a great reputation?"

Looking at his sad and angry look, all the drinkers around him looked at each other, knowing that this person must really love wine, but at the same time, their faces were filled with sarcastic smiles.

Did you really come to this wine shop for wine tasting?

Are you stupid?

...

Amid the angry screams of the stranger, Ding Ning's expression was always calm. He nodded seriously and replied: "The wine in this restaurant tastes so."

There was a broken "pop".

The angry young man smashed the wine pot to the ground. He was obviously very angry and shouted again: "Can this be considered wine!"

"What's the point of not being wine?"

"This is the case with our Qin people. You can drink whatever you can, and you can't drink it, which is your own problem."

"You are from Chu. Do you still want to go wild in Changling?"

The people of Changling had no good feelings for the stranger, and the stranger was obviously Chu Yin, and they should not even be from the Qin Dynasty. With the sound of slapping the tables, most of the people in the wine shop stood up.

"So what about Chu people?"

The young man looked at the figures around him, and a hint of sarcasm and proud appeared on his angry face: "Are you still giving your Yangshan County to me?"

As soon as these words came out, there was no sound in the wine shop, but all the wine lovers' eyes were burned red.

This is no longer a matter of fighting.

In the third year of Yuanwu, the Qin Dynasty, which destroyed the three dynasties of Zhao, Han and Wei, had a great war with the Chu Dynasty. In that war, the Qin army was wiped out by 200,000, lost countless chariots, suffered great defeats, and had to cede land for peace.

So far, the cut off Yangshan County has not been able to be recovered.

The Great Chu Dynasty only sent an unloved prince as a proton to stay in Changling according to the covenant at that time.

One son made six hundred miles away, and his son, who was not loved by the King of Chu, changed to six hundred miles of fertile soil and hundreds of thousands of Qin people. This incident was a shame to all Qin people.

Seeing that the alcohol was burned into murderous aura, blood would fall on the cool ground. At this moment, a cold voice suddenly appeared inside the wine shop, "Marching and fighting is the business of soldiers and practitioners. If you don't drink well and want to argue with others, then go out and don't make trouble with me."

With this cold sound, the curtain leading to the backyard was lifted, and Changsun Qianxue, who was as cold as ice, looked like a guest.

The anger and murderous aura in the eyes of all the drinkers once again dissolved into dryness and heat.

The people who stood up first sat down with awkward smile.

The young man with a sarcastic look suddenly petrified.

He never expected that he would meet such a beautiful woman in such a tavern.

Looking at Changsun Qianxue's thrilling eyebrows and eyes, while his breathing was irregular, he finally understood why so many drinkers would come to this wine shop to drink from time to time.

Wine should warm people's hearts.

A wine that can warm people's hearts is a good wine.

Although the wine in this wine shop is sour and hard to eat, as long as you see her, it may not only warm your heart. These ordinary men don’t know how long it will last for them to be hot all over.

"This is the beauty of a person comparable to a county..."

For a moment, the young man from a foreign land was also a little obsessed with his eyes and felt excited, and he wanted to ask the woman's name.

"Hey, the broken wine pot is to be compensated."
