Chapter 180 Drunkenness

"Liuli's profit is so high," Liu Ling's eyes lit up. "Can I do it too?"

"Looking for a few craftsmen, and then looking for a few people like Deng Guobin, spending a hundred gold coins to study it. It shouldn't be a big problem. Is there an alchemist in the Huainan Prince's Mansion? They should be very good at doing this."

Liang Xiao said so confidently because he read a piece of information that the origin of glass in China is likely to be the by-product of alchemy like gunpowder. He is not sure whether it is true or false, but alchemists were ancient chemists. It would be no surprise that they could make glass.

King Liu An of Huainan had 3,000 disciples, and wrote Huainanzi, a collection of Taoism's achievements. Huainanzi is divided into internal, Chinese and external chapters. The eight volumes of the middle chapter talk about the technique of yellow and white, and to put it bluntly, various chemical experiments. It is naturally easy to let these people try to make glass, and they will get twice the result with half the effort.

Of course, for the alchemist who is determined to become an immortal, refining glass is a bit too expensive. If you want to convince these people, Liu Ling will probably have to spend some time and use some means when necessary. Fortunately, these are all a piece of cake for Liu Ling, and Liang Xiao believes she can do it.

Holding Cupid's statue, he came to the Hu family's restaurant. Seeing Hu's wine, Liang Xiao took a sip and grinned.

It's so fucking sweet, much sweeter than mixing Sprite.

"I'm not used to it." Liu Ling glanced at Liang Xiao and said with a smile: "I wasn't used to it when I first started, but later I wanted to drink it more and more. This sour and sweet feeling is really good."

Liang Xiao couldn't help but be happy. Later generations of petty bourgeoisie were probably going to collapse when they heard Liu Ling's words. Liu Ling is a real aristocrat, and her status and knowledge can be far behind those petty bourgeoisie. Do you think you are sour and sweet? Moreover, are you drinking sour and big mouthfuls of bourgeoisie like this?

"I didn't expect there was wine in Wu City. I didn't expect it." Liang Xiao took another sip. "When I go back, I have to take some back and let my mother taste it. By the way, it is said that drinking some of this kind of wine every day is good for health."

"Is that right?" Liu Ling raised his eyebrows. "Then I'll take some back too. Don't worry, you have to pay taxes for nothing. I'll take them back together and I'll give them to you later when you go to Chang'an."

"Thank you, Master." Liang Xiao was not polite either. It was really not easy for him to bring something back. If Yan Zhu was willing to help, it would be fine. If Yan Zhu refused to help, at least half of the things they carried back with great difficulty would have to pay taxes.

In Weiyang Palace, Liu Che stood under the front hall corridor, his eyes crossed the palace wall and looked southeast.

He was very uneasy when he received the 600-mile expedited document from Yan Zhu. The situation in Kuaiji County was unexpectedly deteriorating to this. The commander of Kuaiji County was killed in battle, and the county soldiers were already severely damaged. The Minyue Army returned with a full load. It seemed that it was not feasible to rely on Kuaiji's power to impose the Minyue.

Fortunately, Yan Zhu remained calm in the face of danger. He sent Wei Qing, Liang Xiao and others to attack and harass the Minyue army. He disrupted their steps and eventually forced them to withdraw their legs. He ambushed the Minyue army halfway, sank Yu Shan and Liu Ju's ship, killed three or five hundred people, and achieved a considerable victory.

Liu Ling also came at the right time, and actually captured Jing Zhaohe's military campaign alive. With these two captives, this expedition was a small victory. At least when the King of Huainan talked about it, it would not be so sharp.

Yanzhu is a talent and is available.

Liang Xiao is also good, has good archery skills, has courage, and is also flexible in mind. He is a capable person.

The days when the kings come to pay tribute are getting closer. Although the crisis in Kuaiji is resolved, Dongou is still in danger. How to solve this problem

Yan Zhu proposed two plans: one is to surrender, the premise is to grant Liu Ju a marquis; the other is to conquer. In the absence of military troops in Kuaiji County, local soldiers from Yuzhang and even Jiangdu and Huainan need to be recruited. In this way, military talismans must be used, and perhaps they have to go through court discussions. He knew very well that this matter would definitely not be passed through court discussions. If it was feasible, Yan Zhu would not have been allowed to go to Kuaiji at the beginning.

It is a way to sign Liu Ju a marquis, but in this way, is it too obvious that Liu Ju is the old prince of Wu? The Wu-Chu rebellion was a disaster for the Han Dynasty, and the aftermath was still not over yet. The king of the same surname was established because he believed that bloodlines were connected and would not be as unreliable as kings of different surnames. However, facts have proved that kings of the same surname were more dangerous than kings of different surnames, because they had the same bloodline and were equally qualified to succeed the throne.

Emperor Xiaowen regarded the vassal king as the emperor.

When Liu Che thought of this, he felt a little anxious. He had been married for many years and was almost in his prime, but he had no children. I don’t know how many people were watching his jokes, I don’t know how many people were waiting for him to lose his grudge, and then naturally climbed to the throne behind him.

Wei Zifu, you must give birth to a son for me.

"Your Majesty" Han Yan quickly walked in from outside the door with a slingshot in hand, and stepped three steps in front of Liu Che. "Are you still hunting today?"

"I won't go." Liu Che then remembered that the men were still waiting outside the hall, waiting to protect him from going out of the city to hunt. "I have important things to consider, but I don't have the heart to hunt. Prince, what do you think of Dong'ou?"

Han Yan pondered for a moment: "Let's just recruit the appeasement. The Empress Dowager is still there, so it's not advisable to make a big move. It's not too late to discuss it after the Empress Dowager is in his spare time. Furthermore, Wu Yue is just a small disease, and the Huns are the biggest concerns. It's not advisable to ignore one thing and put the cart before the horse."

Liu Che smiled. "Prince, you know my feelings best."

"Grape wine luminous cup, and the pipa is urged to drink it immediately"

Liang Xiao blushed, his tongue wide, and he raised his wine glass, but he couldn't find Liu Ling's place. "Master Weng Weng, where have you been hiding?"

Liu Ling held his cheek and looked at Liang Xiao who was obviously drunk with a smile. At the beginning, he saw Liang Xiao pouring his mouth into big mouthfuls, and he thought he was a huge amount, but he didn't expect to get drunk so soon. But it's good to be drunk. Liang Xiao was too cautious and could not let go. Liang Xiao was much more generous. Not only did he clink glasses with her one after another, but he also recited poems.

This poem is so strange. Liu Ling has never heard of the rhythm. The rare seven-word sentence is a bit like Chu Ci, but it is not exactly the same thing. It feels passionate when you listen to it.

"Grape wine, luminous cup, and you want to drink the pipa immediately. Don't laugh at me when you lie drunk on the battlefield. How many people have returned from war since ancient times?"

Listening to the last sentence, Liu Ling couldn't help but feel pity. Yes, this sentence is never the most appropriate way to describe Liang Xiao. An ordinary citizen wants to enter the officialdom with military merits, but he doesn't know how much it will cost. In the battle of Kuaiji, Liang Xiao was seriously injured and has not yet fully recovered. This is just a mere thief. He will face many dangers when he wants to fight against the Huns who are skilled in riding and shooting in the future.

Can he come back alive

"Master Weng, Liang Xiao is drunk too much." Lei was taken forward and reminded: "I'll send someone to send him back."

"Will it hurt him to send him back like this?" Liu Ling stood up, shook his body, and quickly stroked his forehead with his hands. She was also happy today, drinking a lot of wine, her eyes were keen and beating, her legs were weak, but she was still sober. "Yan Zhu has always been prejudiced against Liang Xiao. If he knew that Liang Xiao was drinking with me, how could he not be angry? Even if he had nothing to do, he could cause some trouble. What's more, he was unrestrained now."

"What to do then?"

"Take it back to the post house first, and wait until he wakes up." Liu Ling stood up and reached out to pick up the statue of Cupid's Glazed Glazed. Seeing this, Lei hurriedly said, "Master, I'll take it, don't break it."

"I'm fine." Liu Ling hugged Cupid in his arms, closed his eyes, his face flushed, and his mouth was smiling. "This was given to me by Liang Xiao, and I have to hold it with my own hands."

Lei was covered in black lines. Although Liu Ling was not drunk like Liang Xiao, he was also drunk. What was going on with a statue of a bare-butt boy in his arms? If it was sent back to Huainan Kingdom, the King of Huainan would definitely get angry. He did not dare to be negligent, so he immediately called his followers, took Liu Ling into the car first, and carried Liang Xiao, who was still looking for a wine pot everywhere, turned around and went downstairs.

"Liang Xiaoliang Xiao" Liu Ling held the statue of Cupid and lay on the car window and looked around.

"Master Weng, don't worry, I will find a car."

"No, no." Liu Ling reached out and grabbed Liang Xiao's sleeve and did not loosen. "His injury has not healed yet, so don't catch a cold. Let him sit in my car." As he said, he pulled Liang Xiao into the car. Lei was helpless and had to stuff Liang Xiao into Liu Ling's car and closed the door.

The men of Huainan Kingdom looked at the thunder quilt and looked at each other one by one.

"What are you looking at, let's go?" Lei was yelled: "If anyone is not a stern person, I'll kill his whole family. Didn't you hear it?"

"Now." The men of the men responded with a loud bang, drove the carriage, left Wu City, and walked towards the inn where Liu Ling lived.

Lei was following the car tightly, his ears were raised, his heart was raised to his throat, fearing that something would come from the car. Fortunately, Liang Xiao snored loudly as soon as he entered the car and did not act any abnormal. He was still worried, and took the opportunity to hold the car compartment and pulled the door a crack open, and took a secret look, and his heart suddenly stumbled.

Liang Xiao fell asleep, but was held in Liu Ling's arms. Liu Ling sat leaning against the carriage, holding Liang Xiao with both hands, like holding a baby, but his eyes were staring straight at the cupid's glazed statue on the floor, with a smile on the corner of his mouth and a blurry look. He didn't know what he was thinking.

Lei's lips moved, and he wanted to remind Liu Ling a few words, but he didn't know what to say. It was not just Liang Xiao who lost his composure today, but even Liu Ling was different from usual. He had never seen Liu Ling look like this for years after he followed Liu Ling. Whether it was worth hardware or fifty gold, he never took Liu Ling seriously, but now, it has become Liu Ling's most beloved treasure.

It took a long time since Lei Qing saw Liu Ling care so much about something. He quietly closed the car door and sighed softly.

The sound of hooves is very special, the sound of cars is very loud, and the carriage is shaking gently towards the post house.

Little Cupid hid in the angle, pulled out his bow, aimed the arrow at Liang Xiao and Liu Ling, and showed a sly smile on his face.
