Back at the door of the private room, Qin He was about to open the door.

But they found that Du Ziteng was not drinking, but was pouring something into the wine jar, and was looking around like a thief.

Qin He couldn't help but frown.

Looking carefully, Du Ziteng was holding a wine jar in his hand and was pouring wine into his own jar.

The empty jar was placed on the ground. He picked up a bucket next to it and poured it into it, but he didn't know what was being poured into it.

He poured two jars in a row before stopping. Then he lifted the bucket out like a thief and then returned it. He wiped off the water stains on the table before sitting down again.

Seeing this, Qin He pushed the door open and went in.

When Du Ziteng saw Qin He coming back, he quickly smiled and said, "Brother, why have you been here for so long? Come on, come on."

"Is this... more wine?" Qin He asked, looking at the two extra wine jars.

"Hey, it's the first time I invite a brother to drink. The girl doesn't have to, but the wine must be enough, so I asked the waiter to drink two more bottles."

Du Ziteng smiled and filled a bowl of wine for Qin He, then filled it for himself.

When Qin He saw the wine in his glass, his slightly frowning eyebrows relaxed.

This guy seems to be really poor.

What he poured himself was wine, but what he drank was water.

He was busy filling his jar with water just now, and the wine came to his side.

Unless you're poor enough, you can't do this kind of thing.

"Zijing Trading Company is well-known in Danzhou. It should be quite expensive to work there, right?" Qin He took a sip of wine and asked casually.

"Sigh... No matter how big the business is, it's still someone else's business. It has nothing to do with me and others. It has a place to live and a lunch included. Everything else depends on performance. You can't buy goods carefully, otherwise you will have to lose money according to the price. You can't say

He just lost his fortune and sold himself into slavery." Du Ziteng said with a bitter face.

Qin He nodded. The young shopkeeper of a large trading house was already considered a capable person.

Apart from anything else, just the ability to purchase goods is beyond the capabilities of ordinary people. If one is mistaken, the loss will be huge.

But even so, the profit sharing is not very good. There will be a little, but it also comes with risks. If you make a mistake, you will lose everything.

Of course, whether the profit sharing is good or not depends on who you compare with; compared with the hard-working people outside, such as farmers and other low-level people, it is a very good job.

Looking at Du Ziteng, Qin He looked at him carefully.

He has practiced, and he looks quite charming and handsome, if you ignore his somewhat unkempt beard. But the strange thing is that his strength is only in the mortal realm, and his aura fluctuates in the mortal realm.

Still weak, not much stronger than ordinary people.

Qin He was a little surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions. On the contrary, Du Ziteng was particularly talkative. He could talk about any topic from all over the world like a curiosity.

"Brother, do you know that the current prince who oversees the country is this..." After chatting for a few words, Du Ziteng made a sign on his head to look like two ears, and his eyebrows were beaming.

"Mr. Rabbit?"

Qin He raised his eyebrows slightly. This was the first time he heard of such a royal secret.

Du Ziteng nodded and said: "The decline of the Dajing royal family is quite obvious now. Not many of the younger generation can get on the stage. The previous generation at least gave birth to a prince in purple."

"Is the Purple Yihou a member of the royal family?" Qin He blinked. When the Saw Lizard went south, there were three human escorts. One of them was the Ziyi Hou. He was a bit rough and looked about thirty years old, with a bit of personality.

"You don't even know this?" Du Ziteng was quite surprised and said, "Zi Yihou is not very old, but he is very senior. He is the younger uncle of the current prince."

"It is said that when the old emperor was in seclusion, there was a call from the court to ask the old emperor to pass the throne directly to the Marquis Ziyi. For this reason, the Marquis Ziyi severely offended the current prince, but the matter ended up being nothing. Before the old emperor went into seclusion,

It has been three years since the prince was ordered to supervise the country."

"What strength does the old emperor have?" Qin He asked curiously.

"The old emperor only succeeded to the throne when he was more than ninety years old. Now he has lived to be one hundred and sixty. He is an old monster in the middle stage of Dao Palace. This retreat is to break through to the late stage of Dao Palace."

Du Ziteng said, and then he shook his head, "But I'm afraid it's Xuan. The old emperor's original cultivation was said to have gone awry. It would be good if there was a breakthrough this time. If there was no breakthrough, the Great Scenery Empire would be in big trouble.

"

"Is there just an old emperor in charge of the Great Scenery Empire?"

Qin He asked, for comparison, the Wanyao Kingdom is not even a little bit stronger. It is said that there is also Beiliang Kingdom in the north and the Dajing Empire is also in constant friction.

"That's not true. It is said that there is an old emperor whose strength has reached the peak of the Taoist palace before retreating, but there is no news after retreating. I don't know if he is still in retreat or has fallen. It has been more than a hundred years.

Okay. In addition, the royal family of the Dajing Empire also has a strong man in the Tao Palace realm."ъìＱυＧΕtＶ.℃ǒΜ

"who?"

"Zi Yihou's father is also an old guy. It is said that he is in the early stage of the Taoist palace, but it seems that he is not in Dajing country and has gone out to travel."

"How many strong men are there in that family?"

"The four major families, Yan, Liang, Gu, and Hong, all have Dao Palace realm powerhouses in charge."

"Who is the strongest?"

"The Yan family, the old prime minister Yan Hui of the current dynasty is from the Yan family. His strength is at the peak of the Wheel Sea Realm. He will return to his old age, but he still has a chance to attack the Dao Palace Realm. If he succeeds, the Yan family will have two strong Dao Palace Realm experts.

Already."

"Then the royal family isn't under a lot of pressure?"

"A little bit, otherwise why would the prince try so hard to please the Lizard Dragon? He just wants to try his best to maintain the situation before the old emperor breaks through. But then again, this prince is too coward, and the morale of the country has almost been destroyed by him.

"

"..."

After that, Du Ziteng talked a lot, going through all the situations faced by the Great Scenery Empire, which was considered to outline the general situation of the Great Scenery Empire for Qin He.

"Is the Dajing Empire in danger of overturning?"

After listening for a long time, Qin He expressed his worries. If a lizard dragon could trigger collective action in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdoms, one careless move could lead to big consequences.

"At present, it seems unlikely. Things here are complicated. The Great King Empire has been in existence for more than a thousand years, and there must be some trump cards that outsiders don't know about. If nothing else, let's talk about the attitudes of the two major sects, Lingxiao Sect and Baiyun Pavilion.

That’s very crucial. Currently, those who can destroy the Dajing Empire are either the Aristocratic Family, the Beiliang Kingdom, or the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom.”

"As for the Aristocratic Family, it seems that the motivation is not enough, and there is not much conflict. If the Northern Liang Kingdom invades, the Aristocratic Family will definitely be on the side of the Dajing Empire. After all, it is a foreign invasion."

"In the case of the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom, it will be a war between the human and demon clans. Even the Beiliang Kingdom will not be willing to see the Dajing Empire destroyed, let alone the two major sects."

"So the structure is generally relatively stable. The only instability is the trend of the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom and the position of the crown prince?" Qin He nodded after listening and summed it up in one sentence.

Du Ziteng was stunned and slowly gave a thumbs up: "Brother, your summary is quite insightful."

"So-so." Qin He is also not modest. As long as the secret channel is stable, if he makes some small noise casually, the Great Scenery Empire will fall apart, which will not be fun.

After that, Du Ziteng continued to chat about the country, customs, mountains and rivers, sect battles, territorial boundaries, gossipy news, etc.

He can talk about any topic. Some things he hears from hearsay, but some things he says with certainty.

The more Qin He talked, the more he realized that this guy was not from an ordinary family.

Ordinary people born in a mortal realm are unlikely to have such a broad vision.

However, Qin He didn't go into details. They met by chance and chatted and slapped each other, but it was not necessary to have casual conversations.

Qin He didn't ask Du Ziteng, and Du Ziteng didn't inquire too much about Qin He. They both maintained a tacit understanding.

In this way, without realizing it, I drank until it was almost dark.

Curfew was coming soon, the banquet was over, Du Ziteng paid the bill and went back.

Qin He returned to the backyard and was about to take the Madam and Turtle away, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, creaking, and carriages on the street.

Immediately afterwards, the gate to the backyard opened, and five or six people drove a carriage into the yard. Two sacks were lifted from the carriage, and something inside was "whimpering" struggling and twisting.
