I will live forever in the martial arts world

Chapter 6 Lian Po Is Old
"I am Zhao Ji, and I have met Mr. Jiang."

In the wine shop, a beautiful woman with a sweet and fragrant temperament stood up with a slightly bulging belly and bowed to Jiang Taiyi.

Jiang Taiyi knew that the other party was waiting for her husband in the wine shop, and said elegantly: "Madam, you are so polite. Since you are waiting for the stranger brother, why don't you go up and wait. Jiang's wine shop is crowded and noisy, which is not good for the pregnancy."

Hearing this, Zhao Ji glanced at the second floor with a little gloomy air and said, "It is not appropriate for a female concubine to know what the young master is talking about."

Jiang Taiyi put his hands behind his back and smiled, and said: "Madam, you can wait in another vacant room on the second floor. The first floor is not very convenient after all. I'll have someone send you up."

Zhao Ji's heart moved and she thanked him: "Thank you very much, Mr. Jiang."

The waiter from the wine shop sent the person to the second floor.

Zhao Ji reached the second floor, stretched out her hand to support her lower back, and stood there, listening to the faint voices of Ying Yiren and Lu Buwei in the elegant room, with sadness and resentment in her eyes.

The two men in the house were once her men.

Nowadays, no one cares about her.

She was obviously pregnant by the stranger, but he still didn't come back home every day, and even spent most of the night outside. When asked, he said it was a matter of family and country, and the woman shouldn't interrupt.

But after all, she couldn't bear the loneliness of an empty house, so she had to go out and look for it by herself.

After waiting outside the door for a long time, the two people in the room did not finish talking.

She had to go into another house and wait.

Waiting until evening, Jiang Taiyi ordered people to send food to both houses. Zhao Ji hadn't waited until Lu Buwei and Ying Yiren had finished talking, and couldn't help but feel resentful and empty in her heart.

"These two stinky men are so cruel to let a young and beautiful woman like me stay at home alone in an empty room. Are they still considered men?"

I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart.

Her life is so miserable.

When I was working as a concubine for Lu Buwei, there were dozens of women there. It would not be my turn for several months, and she would be given away in the blink of an eye. After a few days of happiness, she was now with Ying Yiren. Things are getting worse day by day. Ever since she became pregnant, she has been abstinent and a widow...

An old man, a stinky man...

Not even as gentle and considerate as Mr. Jiang from the inn, who is also young and handsome...

The lonely Zhao Ji filled the house with resentment.

At the counter downstairs.

Although Jiang Taiyi didn't pay special attention to Zhu Ji on the second floor, he just saw this woman's face and had an idea of ​​what kind of person she was:

"This woman from Ying Yiren has a beautiful brow, a mole from a traitorous disciple, and her destiny is to have an adulterous wife and palace lord. She is not a good family..."

Jiang Taiyi was thinking whether to remind Ying Yiren.

I thought about it immediately.

He only has some affection for Lu Buwei, but not to that extent with Ying Yiren, so why bother.

So he called shopkeeper Gai over and told him about Lu Buwei's sales proposal for the wine shop Moutai.

Shopkeeper Gai said: "I was just about to tell you about this, boss. We used ten stones of grain, several months of hard work, and your precious recipe to brew this fairy brew." There is not much good wine in total, so the price cannot be set too low. This is exactly what Lu Dongjia said. I think the sales of this Maotai wine should be distinguished from other wines. Farmers really cannot afford to drink this wine. Yes."

Jiang Taiyi said with a smile: "After all, I still don't know the profit calculation of the wine shop, so I'll ask the shopkeeper to figure out a price."

The lights were dim at night, but there were still many tables crowded in the wine shop. The drunkards from Handan City were all shouting:

"Quick, let us also have a taste of your magical brew!"

"They say it's a divine wine, give me a drink quickly!"

The clerks in the wine shop were sweating profusely and tried their best to sell other good wines in the store with the drunkards.

"Look, there are other good wines in our wine shop, such as this fine old yellow rice wine. They are all aged wines..."

But the drunkards in Handan City didn't buy it.

After a while, shopkeeper Gai had made up his mind, walked to the door of the wine shop and rescued the waiter, then clasped his fists in his hands and said:

"Everyone! I'm really sorry. We don't have much of the high-quality fairy brew. The price has just been set and we have just discussed it with the owner. A jar of ten kilograms is sold every day. As for the price, It’s one gold and one pound…”

"One gold and one pound?!"

The drunkards in Handan City went crazy when they heard the price.

"crazy for money!"

However, shopkeeper Gai is someone who has worked with Lu Buwei after all, and he knows that the main business of Hongshang is "rare things are valuable". The Maotai liquor brewed by the new owner is now the only one in the world that has it. Such scarcity is still so Only a gold and a catty of Banxian Brewing-level treasures can be worthy of this quality.

A group of drunkards began to yell and curse, shouting that the hotel was bullying customers and would never come again.

Shopkeeper Gai was also sweating on his head.

When he turned around to look, he saw that his boss, Jiang Taiyi, had a calm face, and even had some interesting expressions on his face.

The so-called various forms of the human world and the appearances of all living beings are just that, and they are also things that you need to integrate into and understand.

Fortunately, Handan City is the capital of Zhao State after all, so there is no shortage of wealthy people.

Soon a wealthy businessman bought a pound of wine for one tael of gold.

When the wine was served on the table of the wealthy businessman, he gently opened the lid, and a rich and fragrant smell suddenly filled the entire first floor of the wine shop. The air was really fragrant.Gudong~gudong~
Just by smelling the aroma, the drunkards outside the wine shop and the guests inside the wine shop no longer felt their throats rolling, their noses flaring, and they all looked at the pot of wine opened by the merchant in disbelief.

The merchant also looked surprised, but after feeling the gazes of others, although his expression remained unchanged, he felt great satisfaction in his heart.

This Handan City is a land of crouching tigers and hidden dragons.

He is just a businessman. He can get so much attention for just one gold, which is considered a profit. But when he thought like this, after taking a sip of wine, his thoughts suddenly changed. The wine entered his throat, that special feeling. The taste was like a ball of fire pouring into the stomach, and then the fragrance reverberated on the lips and teeth, and the whole brain was buzzing.

“Good wine!!”

He opened his eyes suddenly, shouted loudly, and then quickly and carefully poured a glass for his friend across from him: "My friend, please try it!"

This aroused the strong curiosity of all the onlookers, and they felt itchy in their hearts, but they were afraid of the terrifying price and did not dare to try it!
"What a strong aroma of wine!"

At this time, a carriage was passing by on the street, and an old man was sitting in the carriage. He smelled the fragrance wafting from the wine shop, and a strange light suddenly appeared in his eyes, causing the driver to stop.

When the old man's car parked outside the wine shop, it naturally attracted the attention of many people.

Someone immediately exclaimed in a low voice:

"Isn't this the car of old General Lian Po?"

Many people immediately looked up from the wine shop and whispered to each other after seeing the bicycle frame:
"I heard that the king asked General Zhao Kuo to replace the old general Lian Po from the front line. I didn't expect it to be true. The old general returned to Handan from Changping."

"It is said that it is all because the old general refused to fight in the face of the Qin army. The king suspected that he had something to do with the Qin army..."

Amidst the discussions among the people in the wine shop.

Jiang Taiyi saw an old man coming out of the carriage. He was broad, like a thick mountain, majestic and steady, with gray beard and hair, and roots like swords. He looked about 70 years old, but he gave people an air of There is a feeling of standing upright in the sky, as if the body contains extremely terrifying power.

As soon as they got off the carriage, there seemed to be terrifying blood spreading out of the air.

Jiang Taiyi stood at the edge of the counter, resting his face on his hands, and became slightly interested: "This old general looks like he has very high martial arts skills..."

Shopkeeper Gai echoed: "This is Old General Lian Po, who comes from one of the hundreds of sects of military strategists. He is now a world-famous 'strategic master'. Although he is over seventy years old, he has the power to 'shatter the sky and shatter the earth'. But there are not many people who can resist him, and he is still the strongest man in Zhao State today."

A grandmaster, alone, can go out among thousands of armies and take the head of a general!
But Shopkeeper Gai obviously also ignored another point. The Grandmaster is no longer human. Even though he is old, he still has sharp ears and eyes.

Lian Po was aware of this, and his eyes fell on Jiang Taiyi and Shopkeeper Gai on the counter.

Shopkeeper Gai was struck by this glance, and suddenly he felt as if he was under endless pressure, as if he was like a lamb being watched by a mighty old lion.

"Is this aroma of wine in the air brewed at home?"

Lian Po spoke, and although his voice was not loud, it was like a heavy hammer hitting the ground, and his words were thick and thick.

Shopkeeper Gai was a little nervous.

After all, he was facing a grandmaster who was one of the few in the world, and he was also the former commander of Zhao's army. Not to mention the majesty of the grandmaster, even the bloody atmosphere of tens of thousands of people on the battlefield made him, a fourth-rate master, breathless.

Good at this time.

"Don't be nervous, we are just winemakers, we are not afraid of what he will do."

The boss gently patted his shoulder, which made him feel relaxed for no reason. He was just about to respond, but he was only half-finished:
"It's our family, old general..."

豱辘~~
The sound of the carriage turning was heard, and another carriage was seen coming from the other side of the street. It was more luxurious than Lian Po's. In front of the carriage was a horse-riding official in rich uniform. A voice came from far away:

"Hey, isn't this old General Lian Po? Why, he's back from Changping?"

"Guo Kai?"

Lian Po's white eyebrows raised slightly, his tiger eyes moved slightly, and his majestic temperament spread out invisibly, and he recognized this villain who had a personal vendetta against him at a glance.

Guo Kai rode on the horse and felt that Lian Po's face was slightly angry. The fluctuations of the master's energy made his face pale, but his words were unforgiving: "Old General Lian, what are you doing? You parked the car without hesitation. In the middle of the street, we are not going to let other people pass. You have always done your best to occupy the road and not let Guo pass. But, didn't you see that this is our young master Yan's car?"

He finished.

In the car behind, a young man coughed slightly, as if to remind Lian Po.

Gongzi Yan, also called Zhao Yan, is the second son of King Zhao.

However, Lian Po's expression did not change, he just slightly raised his hand to the driver and said, "Please forgive me, sir. I just smelled some wine and wanted to stop the car to get some wine. I will make way for you now."

After saying that, he asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the left side of the road, leaving the road open.

"Smell of wine? What a strong aroma of wine!" Unexpectedly, Gongzi Yan in the car also moved his nose slightly and opened the car curtain.

At the same time, on the second floor of the wine shop, Lu Buwei had just finished talking with Ying Yiren about escaping back to Qin. He was about to go downstairs when he saw the strongest man in the Zhao Kingdom and the Prince of Zhao, Yan, at the door of the wine shop...

Just in time, he caught the eye of Young Master Yan who had just opened the car curtain.

Guo Kai discovered Ying Yiren earlier and smiled: "Oh, what a coincidence today. There is actually a grandson of the Qin Kingdom in this small wine shop?"

He called Ying Yiren "the king's grandson" in his mouth, but his eyes were filled with contempt and ridicule.

I heard the word "Qin".

Lian Po's eyes subconsciously turned sideways, focusing on Ying Yi and Lu Buwei.

"Not good!" Ying Yi and Lu Buwei had something in their minds and were nervous at the same time.

Even Jiang Taiyi noticed that the atmosphere was getting a little more subtle, showing interest.
