Chapter 82 The Duke is shocked, the wine shop opens

"Crack!"

Along with a crisp sound, the two long swords in Zhao Changying's hands suddenly sparked a spark, and a huge gap appeared in the dark sword!

But the one handed to him by Emperor Yu only had one edged curling blade!

"hiss!"

Zhao Changying had a look of deep surprise on his face. He looked at the two long swords in his hands and said in a voiceless voice: "Your Majesty, could it be that this long sword is..."

"Not bad!" Emperor Yu smiled and nodded: "This sword was just forged by the weapons supervisor!"

"The weapons of our Imperial Army are all produced by the Ordnance Supervisor, and the high-quality weapons supplied by the Chen family have always been given priority to the border troops!"

"Now, our weapons supervisor has also mastered the forging method of fine weapons. Even after some improvements by the weapons supervisor craftsmen, it is even better!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Changying held up his hand as a salute, with an unspeakable joy on his face. Only generals like them who charge on the front line of the battlefield can understand how crucial a good weapon can be on the battlefield! ,

Now, the weapons supervisor is able to create such a weapon. In other words, he is completely free from the constraints of the Chen family!

"snort!"

Emperor Yu seemed to have been grudged against the Chen family for a long time, and said coldly: "Over the years, the Chen family has become increasingly lawless by relying on its monopoly on war horses and the forging of fine weapons!"

"The wolf of the Chen family has been ambitious for a long time. He colluded with the court officials, controlled the government, disrupted the government, and even secretly delivered weapons and armor to Huainan!"

"I tolerated him in every possible way, but in exchange I became even more unscrupulous!"

"Now, it's time to settle the accounts with them!"

Seeing the murderous look on Emperor Yu's face, Zhao Changying and others also had stern expressions on their faces. They had also had grudges against the Chen family for a long time!

Dayu was plagued by internal and external troubles, and countless men died in battle just to protect the people and defend the territory. However, these people who ate in and out of the country acted recklessly in Dayu. Whenever there was a major disaster, they took the opportunity to plunder and exploit the people. They deserved it. Death!

"Your Majesty, if the Chen family really colludes with King Huainan, we have to guard against the southwest!"

Ping Guogong Liu Fengping had a deep look on his face and said in a solemn voice: "Over the years, the King of Huainan has quietly accumulated strength to conquer the sixteen states of Huainan!"

"The 300,000 elite armors back then were all elites who fought in hundreds of battles. Now, after so many years, King Huainan's power cannot be underestimated!"

"Hmph!" Emperor Yu smiled faintly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "The King of Huainan is always cautious in his actions. He will never easily raise an army without being completely sure!"

"If we can use the power of thunder to flatten the Chen family, stabilize Shu County, and wipe out all the forces of the Chen family, the King of Huainan will not dare to move lightly!"

"On the surface, I asked Zhao Rui to go to Huainan as an envoy, but in fact, I asked him to send people to contact Dali secretly!"

"Over the years, the border between Dali and Huainan has not been stable!"

There was a sparkle in Emperor Yu's eyes: "With the restraint of Da Li, and the fact that Marquis Qingyun is in charge of the southern border, the King of Huainan will never dare to take risks!"

"Father!"

Ning Fan suddenly interrupted: "What if the King of Huainan does not plan to march north, but leads his army eastward to capture the southern territory of Yu?"

"Um?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Emperor Yu's expression condensed, but Zhao Changying and the other two people also frowned.

"You mean that they will unite with the ancient southern barbarian countries to attack our southern border?"

“Just because it won’t happen now, doesn’t mean it won’t happen in the future!”

"As my father said, King Huainan will never send troops easily without complete assurance!"

"But if he waits until he is fully prepared, he may not be able to march northward!"

Liu Fengping glanced at Ning Fan in surprise, nodded in agreement and said, "Your Highness is right. If Lu Kan leads his army northward, it will directly threaten our capital!"

"By then, if there is danger from the Li River, the army's offensive will be blocked!"

"But if we take action against the Southern Territory and can negotiate with the Southern Barbarians, we can attack from both sides and the Southern Territory is preferable!"

Emperor Yu nodded heavily, looked at Ning Fan and said: "Since everything is ready, let's arrange it!"

"According to the order!"

…

After leaving the palace, Ning Fan was not in a hurry to return home.

Today is the opening day of Shen Wansan's wine shop. Since I have nothing to do, I might as well join in the fun!

"Dong, congratulations, master, for providing intelligence to the Eastern Territory, turning the tide of the war, and gaining 500 merit points!"

"Um?"

Ning Fan looked startled. He didn't expect that this could be considered a meritorious service. Adding up the previous 500 points, it seemed that he had added up to a thousand points of meritorious service!

However, Ning Fan was not in a hurry to summon him. There was still no trace of Yue Fei and the system was about to be upgraded. It would be better to wait until the system was upgraded.

After all, the system mall is about to open!

"Have you heard? Today is the opening day of Huaxia Liquor Store. If you can match thousands of couplets, at least one jar of wine will be given away!"

"really?"

"Could this Hua Xia Liquor Store be the one that storytellers in major pubs often talk about these days?"

"What a rich spring, Sauvignon Blanc is the best wine in the world!"

"Let's go and join in the fun!"

Listening to the discussion of the people on the street, Ning Fan had a smile on his face. It was him who came up with the idea of ​​giving away wine in couplets!

In just half a day, it became popular throughout King Yu City!

"Come and take a look. It's the opening ceremony of Hua Xia Liquor Store. Anyone who can match any of the couplets on the wall will get a altar of wealth and prosperity!"

"This Fuguichun costs fifty coins for one jar, and three jars for one jar. In other words, if you match a couplet, it is equivalent to earning one hundred and fifty coins for free!"

"Our bank also launched a guessing activity. Anyone who buys a jar of Huaxia Commercial Bank's wine can get a chance to guess the answer. If you guess it right, you will get a jar for free!"

Shen Wansan stood in front of the wine shop and spoke loudly.

For a moment, the people around were all happy. Many literati and wanderers gathered here, looking at the wall full of couplets, eager to try!

"The auspicious time has arrived, and the wine shop is open!"

As soon as Shen Wansan finished speaking, he saw ten servants holding jars of wine and striding out of the wine shop and slamming them in front of the door!

"What is this?"

"Is the wine was wasted like this?"

"Hiss, this wine... is so fragrant!"

The spectators around were all stunned. The wine continued to flow out along the steps, and the rich aroma of wine spread far away!

"What kind of wine is this, why is the aroma so strong!"

"Hahaha, can you make a couplet?"

"I'll go first. This 'wealth is like the rising sun, and I'll make 'profit is like the spring tide with rain!'"

A young man dressed in scholar's clothes said elegantly with a folding fan in his hand.

"Congratulations to this guest, you have made a couplet successfully, and I'll give you a jar of our signature wine, Fuguichun!"

A servant raised his hand to take a couplet from the wall and handed it to the scholar. There was a line of small words on the banner with the couplet - a gift from Huaxia Liquor Store!

A servant next to him held a jar of Fuguichun and handed it over with a smile: "Please take it, sir!"

"Thank you!"
