As an official, what's wrong with raising a few monsters?

Chapter 9 I want to use the sword in my hand to drive away the countless enemies of Liebei

"You are that... not right..."

Ling Yu was about to say something, but when he came to his senses and looked at his brother with a smile on his face, he swallowed his words for a moment.

This brother is well-dressed and handsome. He must be a rich and noble young man. How could he be a dirty beggar wandering the streets?
Besides, the two men have different heights and body shapes, and the only thing that is similar is their eyes.

Come to think of it, she made a mistake.

She shook her head: "No, no, no, I was confused and recognized the wrong person. I hope you can forgive me."

"Excuse me?"

"Heh~"

Mingchen snatched Lingyu's teacup, threw away the tea inside, picked up the wine gourd at his waist, and filled it with wine: "How can you just say forgiveness? Brother, drink this glass of wine, and I will forgive you..."

What a fine wine!

As clear as spring water, it flows down the gourd into the wine glass.

In an instant, the fragrance of bamboo mixed with the aroma of fine wine filled the room and drifted out through the windows.

"What's that smell?"

"Wine! It's wine!"

"Old Liu, do you have this good stuff? Hurry up, give me a pot, no no no... give me a jar!"

"It smells so good! I'd be willing to die if I could have a sip of it!"

"Old Liu, you're so mean! I've been here eight hundred times, and you've never given me a glass of wine like this."

……

Most of the people who come to Piaoxianglou to eat are wine lovers.

For a moment, the clear aroma of wine wafted in, attracting the diners outside the box to stick their heads out, breathe deeply, and seem intoxicated.

It smells so good, I wonder how delicious it would be if I could taste it.

It really proves the saying that good wine needs no bush.

"Brother, this..."

Ling Yu knew that her brother was joking and wanted to treat her to a drink, so he took out this fine wine.

Looking at the clear wine, she couldn't help swallowing.

She is a person who knows what she is talking about.

She couldn't even imagine how delicious it would taste.

She secretly drank up all the wine brewed by her master. After coming down the mountain, she realized what kind of life she had lived there. She never tasted such good wine again.

However, now, the wine that this mysterious younger brother casually took out was three times more delicious than the divine wine brewed by the master.

"Try it~"

Mingchen stretched out his hand to gesture and said with a smile.

He was not a big drinker, but he could tell that his sister was a big drinker. After entering the restaurant, the first thing he saw was the wine in the diners' hands.

She is so special, not like an ordinary girl, no wonder she has to dress as a man.

"Then I would be disrespectful to refuse..."

Ling Yu didn't want to make a hypocritical excuse, so he picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp.

In an instant, heat rushed from the chest and abdomen to the forehead, the sweet aroma of wine flowed between the teeth, and the scent of green bamboo spread to the internal organs.

She shook her head gently, and felt as if she was falling into the clouds and mist, floating like a cloud, which was beautiful beyond words.

The energy and blood surged up, and I felt infinite strength flowing from my heart to my limbs.

After drinking this glass of wine, she felt that she could capture tigers and subdue dragons, and no one in the world could be her match.

"how?"

"Ha~"

"Good wine, good wine~"

Ling Yu exhaled in ecstasy, his handsome face flushed, his bright eyes were tinged with water, he shook his head and couldn't stop sighing.

The whole person became more cheerful.

Drinking can enhance people's relationships.

When everything returns to its original state and gets rid of those filthy and smelly things, this is indeed true.

"Qingzhou is not close to here!" Ling Yu looked at Mingchen's wine gourd eagerly and asked, "Brother, what's the important matter that has brought you all this way here?"

Mingchen didn't feel bad about the wine, and filled her glass again, saying with a smile, "Linzhou is even farther from here! Brother, you came all the way here, what do you want to do?"

"Hahaha~ My dear brother, you understand me!"

Ling Yu looked at the wine in the teacup and couldn't help grinning, like a dog wagging its tail after its owner refilled the plate.

But when he talked about his purpose, his expression suddenly became serious, and he looked at Mingchen directly: "I want to go to the capital, take the martial arts exam, join the army, and kill the enemy!"

She gripped the long sword at her waist tightly and spoke in a low voice, "I intend to use the sword in my hand to drive back all the countless enemies of Liebei!"

The Way of the Warrior...

It's a way to kill millions of people.

This honest and straightforward sister seems to have some stories.

"Brother has a grudge against Bei Lie?"

"Deadly feud."

In recent years, there have been constant frictions in the northern border of Qianyuan, with countless casualties, and an entire state was occupied by Beilie.

In times of war and chaos, it is normal for people to have hatred and resentment.

Ling Yu's blood boiled and he was full of heroic spirit.

However, Mingchen shook his head and poured cold water on her: "If you are here for the war with Beilie now, then it's too late, brother."

"what?!"

Ling Yujiu had forgotten to drink it and asked anxiously, "Brother...how do I start this?"

"The war is almost over."

Facing Ling Yu's anxious gaze, Ming Chen took a sip of his wine and said slowly, "Within half a year, this war will be over."

He looked at Ling Yu and asked, "In half a year, can you go to the battlefield?"

She needs to make full use of what she has learned. Starting from a small fry is too slow, and she needs some luck to gain the appreciation of her superiors.

So she did not apply for the position, but chose to take the imperial examination instead.

It is impossible for the imperial examination to go to the battlefield immediately this year.

"Ah? Brother, how did you know?"

How can this person know the direction of future wars?

Mingchen pointed to his forehead: "I guessed."

Ling Yu: ...

"Brother, don't you believe it?"

"If you don't believe me, we can make a bet and I'll analyze it for you."

The naughty little bird drank a sip of wine secretly, then spat it out, sticking out its tongue.

These words disrupted Ling Yu's thoughts. Her face became gloomy and she forgot about the bet Mingchen mentioned.

Mingchen rubbed the bird's head and said to Lingyu, "Brother, what is the purpose of war?"

"Hatred, plunder, and expansion!"

Mingchen shook his head: "No, no, no...it's about profit. The people above need to make money!"

"Varied……"

Ling Yu's eyes widened. Just as she was about to argue, Ming Chen interrupted her: "At least this time."

He pointed upwards. "The current emperor neglects state affairs, obsessed with immortality. He has little sense of national responsibility and is content to cling to power. The crown prince is a good person, but he's useless right now. This war has been going on for three years, and most of the capable military commanders have died. The people above them have already made a fortune from this war, and if they continue to do so, something bad will happen."

"Politically, there is no need to continue this war."

"In reality, we have no money and no people. There is a rebellion in the south, and we need to work hard to suppress it."

"The people above will soon send someone to negotiate a ceasefire."

"As for Beilie, the northern land is barren, they're running low on food and fodder, and many have died. It's impossible for them to swallow up Qianyuan right now. They're just trying to hold on. Once Qianyuan goes to negotiate, they'll probably agree after a while of pretending to do so."

"Both sides are just in a stalemate now, waiting to see who will give in first."

"I guess Qian Yuan will give in first. With internal and external troubles, he'll probably die in half a year."

Mingchen shrugged and said casually, "The final result will probably be to cede Lizhou to Beilie in exchange for some money, food, and supplies, and the matter will be settled."
