Chapter 10 Not So

"This this……"

An ordinary tavern, an ordinary private room, an ordinary drinking party.

However, the words that came out of the young man's mouth were words that ninety-nine percent of the people who were floating in the world could not imagine.
At least for Ling Yu, this was completely beyond her understanding.

This is completely different from the country and war she knows.

She stared blankly at the calm expression of the young man in front of her. Her hands clenched the long sword until they turned white. She kept shaking her head: "This is war, how can... how can..."

Mingchen raised his eyebrows and asked her, "Why? Do you think this battle is great?"

"The Beilie envoy wanted to marry the princess, but the princess was so angry that she killed him. That's what happened."

Mingchen shrugged. "Oh, maybe the princess didn't kill the envoy. He's dead anyway. This is the version I heard, so it doesn't really matter."

"Bei Lie needs a reason to start a war and seize land. Those powerful people above want to make some war profits."

"When war breaks out, the death of one soldier can mean the death of ten thousand soldiers, and the burning of one dan of grain can mean the burning of ten thousand dan of grain. Some accounts become dead accounts."

"That's all."

"Anyway, the two families have a grudge, so it's easy to start a war."

"Brother is determined to join the army, don't you understand this?"

The master had talked to her about this, but she just couldn't learn it.

Facing the young man's bright eyes, Ling Yu stuttered for a long time but ultimately could not answer.

How could this be... such a joke? Such greed? Such filth? Such humiliation?

She was not good at speaking and her mind was blank, so she didn't know how to refute.

"Snapped!"

She slammed the table, her beloved wine sloshing around. Her eyes were red and violent emotions were surging as she questioned Mingchen, "What about the millions of people who were slaughtered in the North? What about the tens of thousands of soldiers who died in battle in the North?"

She forgot etiquette.

The more he spoke, the sadder his voice became.

Her world was on the verge of collapse.

But it doesn't make any sense.

Mingchen drank calmly and shook his head: "Nothing."

The world is like this, people at the bottom of society will never leave their names in this world.

No one will remember the countless bones buried beneath the chaos of war.

A killer who has just entered the world needs to grow. Instead of running into obstacles and wasting time, it is better to teach her from the beginning.

In this day and age, idealists are prone to death.

Mingchen felt that this was the meaning of his helping her.

The killer who stirred up the world was no ordinary little bamboo monster like Qingzhu.

How will he fulfill his vow?

Expecting.

The ferocious and excited Ling Yu and the calm Ming Chen formed a sharp contrast.

a long time,

Ling Yu picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

She let out a breath and said to Mingchen, "I'm sorry, brother. I lost my composure."

"Harm~"

"We are just casually talking at the table. Please don't take my one-sided words seriously, brother~"

"It's not okay to criticize the people above you... no, no~"

"Brother, you won't tell on me, will you?"

In the blink of an eye, the evil young man who had just been giving orders about the country disappeared again.

Mingchen leaned casually in the chair and spoke to Lingyu with a playful smile.

Are you really just saying this casually?

Looking at the playboy in front of her, Ling Yu lowered her eyes slightly. She really hoped that Mingchen was just talking casually.

How could a teenager of sixteen or seventeen know something so far away? How could he possibly touch upon the truth that only the most powerful could calculate?
Some cognitions simply don’t exist.

The upper class would erect a massive barrier to block the thinking and cognition of the lower class. The other party's words were so certain and absurd, completely different from the world she knew.

But somehow, she believed it.

No matter what, she would eventually go to the capital.

Then let her see it with her own eyes.

She shook her head gently: "No, no."

"Brother, you haven't told me yet, what do you want to do?"

"My dear brother, you have helped me a lot. If you need me, I will die for you."

She is a person who believes in loyalty and righteousness, and does not care about life or death.

Since Mingchen has become her friend, she will do her best to help him if he needs help.

Mingchen waved his hands: "What's the point of dying? What a coincidence! My brother and I are on the same path..."

Before he could finish his words,

The door of the box was opened.

The shopkeeper surnamed Liu pushed the door open in a hurry, and the first thing he saw was the wine in the two people's teacups.

"This...this...this is such a waste..."

His eyes were red and he kept shaking his head.

Mingchen frowned and said to the other party, "What's the waste? If you don't drink the wine, what are you going to do with it? Boss, this is a private room. You're breaking the rules."

"Sorry sorry!"

"Don't blame me... Sir, don't blame me, Sir, don't blame me!"

Mingchen looks young, but his cold gaze makes people feel cold under their feet.

Shopkeeper Liu shuddered suddenly and came back to his senses in an instant.

"Sir, I've been brewing wine for over 20 years, and I've never tasted such a heavenly brew. I was so excited that I was rude. I hope you can forgive me."

He sniffed the aroma of wine in the room as if intoxicated, and said to Mingchen as if begging, "Could you please give me some wine to try?"

Mingchen rolled his eyes at him: "You old man are so rude, not only did you barge in, but you also asked me for a drink."

"This is just a little bit. My brother and I might not even have enough to drink. How about giving it back to you?"

He shook the small gourd and spoke to the other party.

Of course, what others don’t know is that water poured into this small gourd can turn into fine wine, which Ling Yu could not finish even if he died.

"This……"

If it weren't for the fact that these two people were extraordinary, he would have wanted to rob them.

Shopkeeper Liu twitched his lips, a little embarrassed: "How about this, sir, please name a price. I'm willing to buy it, no matter how much it is, I won't bargain."

"bid?"

Mingchen glanced at him and said, "You won't bargain for a thousand gold coins?"

"Sir, please stop joking."

He could never make that much money running this pub in his entire lifetime.

"Who's kidding me? You've been brewing for twenty years and still can't make this kind of wine, so what qualifications do you have to comment on my price? I told you I used hundreds of thousand-year-old ginseng, ten-thousand-year-old bamboo, and rare treasures... and only made this little gourd. Don't you think it's worth it?"

If we really talk about eloquence, there are few people here who can match Mingchen.

Shopkeeper Liu: ...

"This……"

Shopkeeper Liu's face turned green, but Ling Yu's face turned red.

The hand holding the teacup trembled, afraid that a drop would fall out.

Is this wine really so precious?
Such a valuable thing, even if you sell it, you probably can't even buy a drop of wine.

But this brother didn't even mention it, and drank so heavily with her, even using a teacup casually.

This is truly a sincere friendship with her!
How touching!
All kinds of emotions surged in my chest along with the alcohol.

A confidant, having only one confidant in life is enough!

In just a few hours, Ling Yu felt willing to die for the brother he had just met.
