Mr. Du's smile slowly faded, and he picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass for Xu Que.
"Drink this cup and take a closer look at what's at the bottom of the cup!"
Xu Que didn't know what Mr. Du meant. He looked at the clear wine and then at the bottom of the glass.
No, it was just an ordinary Dui Yuexian. However, he still followed Mr. Du's wishes and drank the wine into his mouth.
After the strong drink entered his stomach, when he looked at the bottom of the wine glass, the scene in front of him changed. To be precise, the entire small building changed!
Broken bricks and tiles, traces of the war are everywhere.
"do you understand?"
One sentence instantly woke up Xu Que. Xu Que looked at the surrounding scene in disbelief. It was obviously a quiet small building, why did it turn into this scene?
"I originally wanted to talk to you about the Holy Spirit Wine, but I found that you were confused about the future, so I wanted to wake you up. As you can see, you are not a thing in the pool, and I can't see what you need at all. The road, these ruins are where your heart is thinking, where your heart is, and where the road is!"
Xu Que's whole body was shaken, and he bowed respectfully to Mr. Du. He was very grateful to Mr. Du for his enlightenment. Everything just now was not a real thing, but an illusion of the power of literature and art.
"I accept this gift." Mr. Du smiled and said: "For Yuexian, I will ask someone to go to Zheyang County to buy it, but I hope you can make better wine. After all, the wine of Shengjinshi cannot be Do you understand that it is confused with ordinary wine?"
"Thank you sir for your teaching, students understand!" Xu Que bowed respectfully.
"Okay, it's getting late now. It's time for me to go back." Mr. Du stood up with a smile.
"Student seeing you off, sir..." Xu Que bowed to the ground.
"The road is in your heart. When your mind is clear of distractions, the road will surely appear. Take care of it!"
Xu Que clenched his fists. He knew exactly what he needed at this moment and what his path would look like in the future.
…
noon
As soon as Xu Que returned to the Confucian Temple Guild Hall, he met the servant from yesterday again.
"Mr. Xu, do you want to invite my husband?"
Xu Que was speechless. Is this the third time? This Jia Zhong is really interesting. Do you really want him to reveal his true identity?
"Why are you inviting me this time?" Xu Que asked.
"Sir, he said that he would like to have a few drinks with the young master and then talk about some things."
How many drinks? Still talking about things?
Xu Que almost laughed at Jia Zhong's excuse. However, he was not a fool. He would definitely not go there before Murong Yao came back. After all, who knows whether Jia Zhong is hosting the Hongmen Banquet?
"Go back and tell your husband, forget about drinking. If it's about talking about something, could you please ask him for me what we're talking about?" After Xu Que finished speaking, he walked into the guild hall.
The servant was stupid. Are you asking him to ask his husband? Although he is a servant, he is not a fool. If he asks this question, his life will be lost...
Jia Mansion
When the servant came back in a hurry to report, Jia Zhong smiled. He was very happy and saluted Kang Xingye:
"Sir, you have also seen that this is Xu Que's intention. If you continue to persist in your stubbornness, I am afraid it will be really difficult to win Zheyang County!"
"Sir, please don't lie to me. Even if you ask for help, no one will come." Kang Xingye said.
"Different Taoists do not agree with each other! Why don't you understand? If he really intends to surrender to Beimang, do you think he will encourage those Dayan students? He really wants to earn fame in advance!"
Kang Xingye was a little moved at this moment, but he always felt that something was not right, but he could never find out the problem.
Just when Kang Xingye was about to speak, a voice rang out from outside the main hall: "He is originally from Dayan, and he is also a member of the Xu family. According to the law, even a Xu family member will not surrender to Beimang!"
Jia Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the people walking into the main hall.
"I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! I have met Mr. Jia!" Gu Jingchen smiled and saluted.
"I'm explaining the facts, why are you disrupting the situation?" Jia Zhong said to Gu Jingchen.
"Chen Chen disagrees with Sir's method. If Sir and Xu Que's identities were reversed, do you think you would agree?"
Jia Zhong stood up angrily: "Although I am a Jinshi in Dayan High School, my heart belongs to Beimang. If it were not for the embezzlement plan, how could I have appeared in Dayan? Besides, Xu Que is a determined person." , there is absolutely no way to persuade us to surrender, don’t you know?”
"Sir, it is for Beimang's good, but Your Highness is also thinking about Beimang. If a gentleman had helped to capture Zheyang County, do you think Xu Que would have done what he did today?" Gu Jingchen looked disdainful.
To put it bluntly, Jia Zhong just couldn't stand Xu Que. If Xu Que assisted Kang Xingye, then Jia Zhong would have no status at all in the future.
"Okay!" Jia Zhong smiled back: "If His Highness fails to win Zheyang County, do you have to fulfill the bet?"
"Yes!" Gu Jingchen said: "Not only must we fulfill the bet, but we will also follow Xu Que's agreement and use Zheyang County as a trade route for five years to conduct mutual trade!"
"Then have you considered the future situation of the young master?"
"If it really fails, then look for lessons from it. Besides, it's just a small city and it doesn't affect the overall situation at all! If you can learn something from it, it's not necessarily a bad thing. Since it's mutual trade, let's spend five years Isn’t it worth the time to get to the bottom of Zheyang County?”
"Nonsense!" Jia Zhong said angrily: "Are you from Dayan or from Beimang? Don't you know about the embezzlement plan?"
"Mr. Jia, of course I am from Beimang, and I am very aware of this embezzlement plan, but you have to understand one thing!" Gu Jingchen glanced at Kang Xingye and said, "This is the future emperor of Beimang. If Do you dare to advise the emperor? Do you think my father will return to Beimang directly?"
"Stop talking about Gu Yongnian. It's him, and his plan is the most important part. If he returns to Beimang, do you think there is still hope for Dayan to win? Or, do you, the Gu family, no longer want to live?" "
"Mr. Jia, have you ever asked Master Xuan about this?" Gu Jingchen asked with a cold tone in his words.
Jia Zhong clenched his fists, but just when he was about to scold Gu Jingchen, Kang Xingye stood up and said, "Okay, there's no need to argue about this. Jingchen must have brought some news when he came to Nanfeng City, right?"
Gu Jingchen bowed his hands and said, "Your Highness, my father asked me to send a message that the affairs of the court have been settled. If Your Highness does not want to make a bet with Xu Que, the Beimang Cavalry can use the road to kill Jiyang County."
"Master Gu, do you think Zheyang County cannot be won?" Kang Xingye asked.
"Yes and no!" Gu Jingchen said: "Two armies are about to arrive. If Wu Guogong insists on attacking Zheyang County, it may be detrimental to the army. Therefore, my father hopes that the prince will clear out the reinforcements from the southern part of Dayan first. After all, they are a threat. The biggest for us.”
Kang Xingye nodded. He naturally understood this, but the date for the bet was coming soon. If he didn't go, he might break his promise.
Seeing the prince's hesitation, Gu Jingchen saluted Jia Zhong: "Sir, are you really not going to help?"
Jia Zhong frowned slightly, but still said decisively: "I won't help!"
"Okay, in that case, we can only rely on the crown prince alone. If His Highness fails to capture Zheyang County, then Mr. Lao will give advice to His Majesty!"
"Why do I have to worry about you when I do things?" Jia Zhong said disdainfully.
Gu Jingchen smiled, how could a jealous person enter Long Yuxuan? Moreover, he also knew what Jia Zhong was doing in Nanfeng City, but Xu Que got there first!
In fact, Gu Jingchen's guess was half correct. If Xu Que hadn't met Jia Zhong, maybe Xu Que wouldn't have guessed what Beimang was doing...
"Your Highness, this is Mr. Jia's residence. Let's go back to the inn and stay for a few days." Gu Jingchen smiled and handed over.
"Well, let's go."
Kang Xingye bowed his hands to Mr. Jia, and then left the main hall with Gu Jingchen.
Watching the three people leave, Jia Zhong was very angry. He obviously did everything right, so why did it become his fault?
"Xu Que, everything is your fault! You ruined my plan!"
