Wang Jian drank a cup of Apricot Moon White and clicked his tongue in praise." The State of Zhao's dancers and wine brewing are both top notch in the world. As expected, it lives up to its reputation. However, this Apricot Moon White Wine is a good wine. It's just that the taste is a little bland. It's suitable for young masters and nobles to drink. For martial arts practitioners like us, it would be even better if it was a little stronger.”
"General, if you want to drink that kind of wine, I can brew some strong wine.”
Wang Jian was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise,""You know how to brew wine?"
Ji Wuchen shook his head and smiled." They're all small tricks. What's so difficult about them? It's just that I don't like trouble, so I've never wanted to do it myself."”
Wang Jian's eyes moved as he chuckled and said,"Could it be that Sir's skills are not good enough and he doesn't dare to embarrass himself?”
"Don't provoke me. I do things according to my mood. If I'm in a good mood, everything can be discussed. If I'm in a bad mood, nothing can be said.”
"Don't. You were in a bad mood that day, so I'll find you some fun and make sure you're happy. However, you have to take the matter of brewing wine to heart. I'll go and see the King of Zhao tomorrow and ask him to let you pass quickly so that you can return to the State of Qin as soon as possible.”
" How did things go in the State of Zhao?" Ji Wuchen asked.”
Wang Jian smiled awkwardly," There were a few old fogeys who gossiped in front of the King of Zhao and refused to let him go. However, I told the King of Zhao that my King is in his prime and it will take two to three years for him to give birth to a few more sons. If the King of Zhao refuses to let him go, the Qin country will definitely not let it go. After the Battle of Changping, the Zhao country has long been unable to resist the Qin country. Therefore, I guess that this matter will not be difficult.”
"I know that you're a meticulous person. It's best if this matter can come to a satisfactory conclusion.”
"Sir, your gaze is really terrifying. I really can't hide anything from you.”Wang Jian once again drank a cup and said with some emotion,"Generals are powerful and have always been a taboo for the king. Because of the book you gave me, Sun Tzu's Art of War, and my painstaking research over the past few years, I have been invincible on the battlefield. In half a year, I have risen six levels in a row.”
Ji Wuchen finally understood why Wang Jian was the only one among the four famous generals of the Warring States Period to return to his hometown in glory and enjoy his life. This was not without reason. This fellow looked like a vulgar martial artist, but he had the thoughts of a wise man. Before he became famous, he had already warned him.
"What a cunning old fox.”
As soon as Ji Wuchen finished speaking, the two of them looked at each other for a long time before laughing heartily. Wang Jian said,""Teacher knows me, so you should understand my heart. Come, let's drink.”
Ji Wuchen nodded. After clinking glasses with him, he asked,""In the Zhao Kingdom, who are the people who oppose Young Master Zheng and his son returning to the Qin Kingdom?”
" At first, it was that old man Lianpo. He was tricked by Zhao Kuo last time, and now he's been put in an important position by the King of Zhao. However, he's getting old, so he probably won't be able to survive for more than a few years. On the other hand, that Li Mu is a little troublesome. He has been fighting against the Hu people in the north all year round. His eyes are very vicious, and he's a tough opponent. He's firmly opposed to letting the young master and his mother return to the country. He has many supporters, and he doesn't want any gold, silver, or jewelry. In the future, he will definitely become a strong enemy of the Qin country.”
"Since this path is blocked, then let's change to another path. I remember that the current high official of Zhao is surnamed Feng. You can try him?”
Wang Jian shook his head unhappily," Don't talk about this person. Just the mention of this person makes me angry. This old fogey was the loudest among the group of people who opposed him. I was so angry that I wanted to kill him with a knife.”
Ji Wuchen smiled coldly." General, have you ever heard of the saying that a barking dog doesn't bite? There might be another reason why he did that.”
"Other reasons?" Wang Jian frowned." What reason could it be?”
"Could it be that the gifts are a little too little and she's dissatisfied?”
Wang Jian shook his head and denied,"That's impossible. I've prepared a generous gift for each of the three ministers of the State of Zhao." After saying that, he hesitated for a moment before continuing in a solemn manner."I remember that the High Official and the Middle Official have the same courtesy. Could this be the reason?”
"In the royal court, the most important thing is to have an order of seniority.”
Wang Jian slapped his thigh and said sullenly,""It's all my fault for being careless and thoughtless. Teacher, I won't drink anymore. I'll treat you when we return to the Qin country another day. The matter His Majesty has given me is the most important, so I'll get someone to prepare a generous gift and send it over. Hmph, if this old man really has this reason, when my army comes one day, I'll definitely cut this old man down.”
After saying this, Wang Jian drank the wine in his cup, got off the bed, turned around and left in a hurry. Little Fei Yan sat at the side and listened to the conversation between the two of them. From time to time, she revealed a cute smile. After Wang Jian left, she smiled and said,"This strange uncle is really interesting. He always talks in such a shocked manner, as if he's going to eat people.”
