Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 484 Changing residence
  Perhaps it is a characteristic of the North. After Jing Ke finished ordering the food, the people in the restaurant had not yet served the food. Instead, they brought the wine early, and the wine was not in a wine jug. Instead, they directly moved a whole jar, wrapped in paper and sealed with mud. .

Jing Ke skillfully knocked off the mud seal, poured the wine into the jug prepared nearby, poured a small porcelain cup for Yan Lingji, and poured a large bronze cup for himself and Gu Xun.

"Haha, this wine... Miss Yan Lingji, just do it yourself. Mr. Gu needs to drink two more glasses."

Jing Ke was very excited when he saw the wine, and said to Gu Xun and Gu Xun in an excited tone.

Gu Xun and Yan Lingji looked at each other, picked up their wine glasses at the same time, and each took a sip.

As soon as the wine entered her throat, Yan Lingji couldn't help but frown slightly. The spicy taste was completely different from the mild and mellow orchid wine of Zilanxuan. It couldn't be said to be unpalatable, but it was not to her liking, so she put down the glass. Planning to drink again.

Jing Ke caught a glimpse of her actions and knew that the other party probably didn't like her very much. This was normal. Even among the people who lived in Jidu, there were very few women who were willing to drink such strong wine.

Gu Xun looked normal. The wine he drank was almost the same as the one the Six-fingered Black Man drank when he invited him yesterday. It just had a deeper and stronger aftertaste. It didn't make any difference to him. He wouldn't get drunk if he didn't want to. .

"I wonder where the accommodation that Juzi arranged for us is?" Since the food hadn't been served yet, Gu Xun didn't want to drink, so he could only chat while drinking.

Jing Ke was drinking so much at this time that he didn't care that the food hadn't been served yet. Hearing Gu Xun's words, he wiped his mouth and replied:
  "The residence... is in the north part of the city. It's cleaner there. The boss said that sir, you probably don't like noisy environments very much."

Gu Xun nodded, the answer was as he expected.

In Jicheng, the royal palaces and nobles are mainly concentrated in the east area of ​​the city, the south of the city is the area where people gather and live, and the west of the city is the area where Gu Xun stayed at the inn, which is considered a commercial area.

In the north of the city, there are mainly various handicraft workshops, and it is the area where the Mohist power is concentrated. After all, there are not many people in the world who are better than them in engineering.

By the way, there are no chaotic places like slums in Ji City, because in this city, there is not enough logistical support in winter, and the probability of freezing to death is basically 100%. Poor people with nothing can survive here. Year.

The people of Jicheng, no matter rich or poor, must be able to provide basic food and clothing security.

"What's the specific situation of the house?" Gu Xun then asked
  "Uh..." Jing Ke thought for a moment, worked up his words and then replied, "It's just a small single-family courtyard. It's not too big. It has only two bedrooms, a lobby, and a kitchen, but it's suitable for two people. It’s more than enough to live in.”

"Also, Juzi has arranged for people to pack it up. Sir, everything you may need has been prepared."

"Sounds good." Gu Xun looked at Yan Lingji, "What do you think?"

Yan Lingji spread her hands and pouted at him. She didn't answer, but her meaning was expressed - it's up to you!
  "Well... ok, in that case, after dinner, go back to the inn to pack your things, and then move over directly."

Yan Lingji nodded casually, supporting him.

Jing Ke smiled and answered, "That's good, it can save you some time running back and forth."

At this time, the waiters in the restaurant began to serve food, probably to warm themselves up. The food here is generally red and full of spiciness.

"Mr. Gu, Miss Yan Lingji, eat vegetables, eat vegetables!" Jing Ke greeted the two of them to eat very bluntly.

He rarely does this kind of thing, and usually does the work of persuading people to drink.

Neither Gu Xun nor Yan Lingji were polite to him, so how could they mess with him about eating? But before he actually started eating, Gu Xun suddenly asked Jing Ke, who was focusing on the wine:

"What are you going to do about the snow girl?"

"The Master ordered..." Jing Ke subconsciously blurted out the arrangements of the Six-Fingered Black Man last night. Fortunately, he was not drunk after all and stopped in time. He smiled and then changed his words, "The Master ordered us not to interfere in this matter. Matters involving Mr. Yan Chun at this time are too sensitive."

"Ha!" Gu Xun couldn't help but grinned when he saw Jing Ke's abrupt turn, but he didn't ask further, "Let's eat."

Half an hour passed, and the meal was considered a feast for the guests and the host. The spicy and high-heat food that is customary in this cold northern land still tastes very attractive, after all, it can promote hormone secretion.

Then came the moving process. It didn't take much effort, there weren't many things, and it took less than an hour. Gu Xun successfully moved into the temporary residence prepared for him by the Six-Fingered Black Man.

As Jing Ke said, all the utensils needed for daily life are fully prepared, and you only need to carry your bags to move in.

The only shortcoming is that the courtyard does not have a street frontage, so he cannot use it to practice medicine, but it doesn't hurt.

………………

For the next three days, Jicheng was calm, there was no undercurrent, everything was normal.

Compared with the capitals of other countries, the location of Jicheng is too remote. It is so remote that many storms have difficulty spreading here. Similarly, this city may encounter continuous wind and snow every winter, making it look like Like ice, it is always stubborn, without waves, ups and downs, or... changes.

The only event that happened in the past few days that everyone knew was that Lord Yan Chun came to Fei Xue Pavilion and wanted to force the dancing princess Xue Nu.

The people discussed this very hotly, and they treated it as a conversation piece after dinner, but... it was just a conversation piece.

Although most people are resentful about this, not many people will care about the fate of a dancing girl in Fei Xue Pavilion. Compared with the support for Li Mu from the people in Handan City some time ago, the people in Jicheng City have shown support for the Snow Girl. Lamenting seems much more nihilistic.

This is a completely normal thing. Of course, the military god who guards the North and has countless people alive cannot have the same treatment as a dancer who entertains people with sex.

Yan Wangxi, who lives deep in the palace and hides in a hothouse with charcoal fires burning all night, has some information. Although his eyes and ears are closed, he still knows some news. A mere dancing girl from Snow Girl is not in his consideration range. What he focuses on is his identity as a person. The Ancient Discovery of the Imperial Master of the Great Qin Dynasty.

The saying that Qin and Yan have been friends for generations is actually empty talk. There is no good or bad relationship between countries.

Among the Six Shandong Kingdoms, there are only countries that cannot defeat Qin, and there are no countries that do not want to defeat Qin. The Qin in this sentence is also true if it replaces any of the previous Six Shandong Kingdoms.

But most of the time, it was a purely face-saving project that needed to be carefully maintained. King Yan couldn't do it, and he didn't dare to take the initiative to do anything that would destroy the good atmosphere of Qin Yan's friendship.

Gu Xun, as the national master of the Qin State, is also the prince's tutor, the person closest to the crown prince of a country, the crown prince of the East Palace... Although the Qin State has not yet established a crown prince, he is considered an important minister of the Qin State.

When a person of this status suddenly visited Jicheng, King Yan had to find a plan to receive him.
