Chapter 81 Wine of the Western Regions
Wu Yuan drank Li Qing's wine, praised it repeatedly, and asked the servant to pour a glass for Wu Ying as well, and both father and son were full of praise for the distilled liquor.
After drinking the distilled spirit, the atmosphere between the two sides became more harmonious, and at this time, Wu Yuan suddenly called Wu Ying to his side and whispered something, Wu Ying nodded, turned around and walked towards the inner house.
Li Qing frowned slightly, not knowing what the Wu father and son were going to do, and after a while, Wu Ying walked out with a round wine jug on his face, with a mysterious smile on his face.
"Come on, Master Li, after drinking your wine, my Wu clan can only endure the pain and take out some strange good things."
Wu Yuan smiled and motioned for Wu Ying to pour wine for Li Qing and Qing.
A familiar smell came, Li Qing's eyes showed a hint of essence, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "Wine!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Wu Yuan couldn't help but be shocked: "This is a precious thing that my Wu clan bought from the royal family of the Western Regions, where did Lord Li know about this thing?" ”
It turned out that at this time, wine had just flowed into the Central Plains, and only caravans like Wushi, who were connected with the countries of the Western Regions, had seen this kind of fine wine from the Western Regions.
Li Qing took a sip of the wine in the glass, which was slightly astringent, but there was not much difference between it and the wines of later generations.
Qing saw that Li Qing drank it, and also took the wine glass and drank it all, but obviously the taste of the wine was not very in line with Qing's taste, and Qing quickly frowned.
Li Qing shook his head and said: "The so-called grape wine glow-in-the-dark glass, if you want to drink this wine, you can't drink the glow-in-the-dark cup, but unfortunately, drinking wine with this wine glass is always missing some artistic conception." ”
Hearing this, Wu Yuan stood up, looked at Li Qing, and said solemnly: "Lord Li is really knowledgeable and talented, the old man admires it, Wu Ying, go, take out my glass cup and give Lord Li a drink." ”
Wu Ying took out a set of glass cups, these glass cups, in Li Qing's opinion, are like the glasses of later generations, and the bright red wine is poured into the cups, which looks extremely dazzling.
"Okay, that's what it's like to drink red wine."
Li Qing shook the glass cup and nodded with satisfaction.
Although Wu Yuan has also drunk wine a few times, he has seen Li Qing's chic posture, and he admires Li Qing's erudition, Li Qing also has the heart to learn about the current countries in the Western Regions from Wu Yuan, after all, Li Qing knows that many foods in later generations were brought back by Zhang Qian's envoy to the Western Regions during the Han Dynasty, if he can, Li Qing wants to introduce those species into the Central Plains in advance.
The connection between the Wu clan and the countries of the Western Regions is deeper than Li Qing imagined, as early as the period of Zhao Wuling King Hufu cavalry shooting, the Wu clan has already had contact with the Yue clan in the Western Regions, the Yue clan is very much in need of salt, iron, tea and silk and other items in the Central Plains, and in exchange, the Yue clan is willing to provide the Wu clan with war horses, gems and other things.
That night, Li Qing quietly gathered Qing and ten Qin army soldiers together, not to make friends with Wu Clan, although he was temporarily in harmony with Wu Yuan and others, but if the slaughter of Ao Feng was really done by Wu Clan, Li Qing would never let go of Wu Clan.
Li Qing said: "The Wu clan is stronger than we imagined, and a hundred of us will definitely not be able to deal with the Wu clan, I don't know if you have any good way?" ”
Qing said: "The top priority, first of all, to determine whether it is the Wu clan that snatched the Bai Qi Codex, if we can determine the authenticity of this matter, we can report it to His Majesty the First Emperor, if the Wu clan is at ease as a businessman, naturally there is no need for the military book, but the Wu clan secretly seized the military book, it must be a counter-intention, and the first emperor will naturally not be able to spare him at that time." ”
"It makes sense, I will find a way to stay in the Wu Manor for a few days, you quietly inquire into the news, find evidence that the Wu family has rebelled, and when the time comes, we don't need to do it." Li Qing thought about it and felt that what Qing said was very right, so he immediately ordered.
Wu Yuan touched his beard, and his eyes, which were already slightly cloudy, revealed the unique shrewdness of the old man.
Wu Yuan looked at the elders of the Wu family, and said to Wu Wen, the elder in charge of the Wu family's intelligence: "Wu Wen, do you know the origin of this Li Qing?" ”
Wu Wen is a lean old man, after hearing the words, he got up and straightened his clothes, and said: "The head of the family, I don't know much about this Li Qing's news, I only know that this person has a lot to do with the Montessorian family, and he is also known as the god of wine, and is very popular with Qin Shi Huang. ”
As soon as Wu Wen's words fell, a man with a gloomy face immediately stood up and said, "Elder Wu Wen, you seem to have missed a piece of news, this Li Qing just went to Aofeng a few days ago. ”
"What? Aofeng ......"
Wu Yuan's face suddenly became gloomy, the matter of Ao Feng, Wu Yuan didn't think about making such a big deal at first, but most of the warriors of the Wu clan were the remnants of the former Zhao State, and their resentment against Bai Qi led to the slaughter of Ao Feng, and in the end, the entire Ao Feng was slaughtered, if this matter really spread, Wu Clan, it would definitely be a catastrophe.
Wu Yuan said in a condensed voice: "Wu Ze, are you sure that Li Qing has been to Ao Peak?" ”
The gloomy man Wu Ze Zhengse said: "Yes, this news is true, I suspect that Li Qing's intention is not simple, we can either ...... directly or send Li Qing away immediately. ”
Wu Ze said, and made a movement to wipe his neck, they actually wanted to directly destroy Li Qing and his party.
"It's not proper, Li Qing is the superintendent of the imperial history personally appointed by Qin Shi Huang, and many people know about his entry into the Wu Clan's Villa, if he has an accident in the Wu clan's territory, my Wu clan will not be able to escape the involvement."
Seeing that Wu Ze wanted to make a move on Li Qing, Wu Ying hurriedly objected, Li Qing took a hundred soldiers of the Qin army to visit the Wu clan in the open, if Li Qing had an accident in the territory of the Wu clan, then it was impossible to hide it from others.
"In that case, find a way to send Li Qing and them away, and that Gongsun Ce, you can't stay any longer, solve it immediately."
In the Wushi dungeon, a man covered in injuries and with a desperate face opened his eyes with difficulty, unwillingly looking at the burly man walking towards him.
This burly man was Boda, who pinched his fingers, showed a hideous smile on his face, and said, "Boy, I was going to keep you for a few days, but unfortunately, the head of the family said that I would send you on your way immediately." ”
This man covered in injuries was Gongsun Ce, who betrayed his father and got the Bai Qi Codex for the Wu clan, thinking that he could exchange it for a considerable fortune, but he didn't expect that the Wu clan would kill him.
"Don't ...... Let me go...... I'm not going to say it. ”
Gongsun Ce looked at Boda, who was walking towards him, and pleaded bitterly.
