The crossed scholar

"But, the biggest question now is where is King Ming?" Zhu Xiaobao asked a little surprised.

"That's right! Just let him come to the door by himself!"

"High! Princess, I offer you a toast!"

Chapter 97 Burning Knives

At this time, Zhu Xiaobao sincerely admired Princess Nineteen, and in the blink of an eye, he came up with a strategy.Undoubtedly, this is a very good way. Now that King Wen has opened up sales, and then waits for King Ming to come to his door, in this case, the initiative is in his own hands!

Although Zhu Xiaobao has a lot of fantastic ideas, he is not interested in the battle between the major forces.He felt that such a life was very tiring, and he was calculating every day.It is not an exaggeration to describe the current situation of the Nineteenth Princess as stretched and difficult!

But Zhu Xiaobao still admires Princess Nineteen's quick thinking.Manager Wu also nodded in satisfaction.

Since Princess Nineteen already had a countermeasure, there was no need for Zhu Xiaobao to do anything else, and he couldn't think of any better way.In the end, the nineteenth princess took away the six hundred altars of burning knives, leaving Zhu Xiaobao with only sixty altars.

Wu Yue also left with the nineteenth princess. To Zhu Xiaobao's surprise, Wu Yue's drinking capacity far exceeded his expectations, and she even drank two jars of burning knives, and nothing happened!Even fiercer than the general manager of martial arts!

"My God! This is a female alcoholic? Who can afford it? A meal of 12 taels is gone!" Zhu Xiaobao shook his head and said with a sigh, and then looked at Jumei lying on the ground. It's time to wake up, she is very honest, as soon as she wakes up, she clamors for food, but she sweeps up all the leftovers, and of course she won't drink any more wine!

"Starting tomorrow, give me training every day, or there will be no meat to eat!" Zhu Xiaobao shouted in displeasure, sticking his waist.

"Then I'll have meat to eat after I train? Do I still have to be full?" Jumei is not afraid of suffering, but afraid of not being full.

"Well! As long as you train well, you will be full. If you can improve a lot, there will be wine!" Zhu Xiaobao thought for a while, and remembered the bet that Jumei's strength should be able to pull the three-dan bow.This is already a very powerful bow.The bows that ordinary soldiers are equipped with are once the bows of two fights!What Zhao Shenlong used was the Erdan Bow.

"Hehe! You don't know martial arts, so let me help you train Jumei. I think she's really talented if she trains well!" Tong Wuxin said with a smile on the side, but she was also quite interested. What can this giant beauty be trained for?It made her very curious.

……

In the Nineteenth Princess' Mansion, Manager Wu is discussing with the Nineteenth Princess. If they want to hit the market, they must have a good sales method, which can cause a sensation!

"Princess, there is another question! Will the Seventh Princess be unhappy? I'm afraid the Seventh Princess will be dissatisfied if she didn't sell her fief in the first place this time!" After all, Manager Wu is very experienced and thoughtful about things. .

"I've thought about this problem too. I won't sell it to Seventh Sister, but I'll just follow what Zhu Xiaobao said, there are some problems with this wine, and it will kill you! Besides, I only promised to let her take [-]% of the share in the soap. There are no other promises, can't all the benefits be taken away by her?" Nineteenth Princess said lightly, although she was a little worried, but Nineteenth Princess also knew that Seventh Princess would not turn her face because of this!Besides, she also thought of a countermeasure!

"That's good, just go to King Wen to manage it, who is more appropriate to send?" Director Wu asked again.

"Hehe! Of course it's Ji Zhijun. This guy can drink well, and he's also a little smart and thick-skinned, so it's the most appropriate to send him there!" The Nineteenth Princess smiled slightly.

Ji Zhizhen doesn't have many things to do now. Although the sales of jasmine tea are not bad, after all, it is very cheap and affordable, but the profit is still relatively low.And the weather is getting colder, and there is no reserve of raw materials, so it is likely to be out of stock for a while later, which just allows Ji Zhizhen to sell burning knives!

On the contrary, in Xiyuan City, there was no promotion first. Xiyuan City is relatively barren. The Nineteenth Princess is afraid that if she sells this wine on her land, her purchasing power will not be able to keep up, and it will not easily cause a sensation!Besides, the Nineteenth Princess is also afraid that something like Beidi County will happen. After all, this kind of wine is the most popular in the army. If there is something like exchanging food for wine, it will not be worth the loss!

But what Princess Nineteen didn't expect was that after Xia Zixiu tasted the burning knives, she heard Princess Nineteen talk about going to King Wen to sell them. Xia Zixiu volunteered to go to King Wen to sell them in person.Doesn't he have a very good relationship with King Wen?So this time, he wanted to do his best. After coming to Xiyuan City, his achievements were limited. Many things were handled by Princess Nineteen, which made Xia Zixiu very eager to show off.

Ji Zhizhen was very excited when he received the princess's order. He just likes to do these things and likes to show off, but it's a little uncomfortable to go to King Wen's fief with Xia Zixiu.But the nineteenth princess seemed to have expected this a long time ago, and asked Wu Yue to go with her!At the same time, by the way, the promised 50 yuan soap was also sent over. This time, I also gave the wife of the princess four exquisite and exquisitely carved incense sticks. This is also where the nineteenth princess thought carefully.She knew that the concubine of King Wen was very influential, and that so many talented women were brought into the palace by King Wen, but the concubine was able to deal with it freely, and she was the most favored by King Wen. She was a talented woman in the first place!

King Wen was very happy to see Xia Zixiu. After all, they have the same interests and hobbies, so it is very easy to be together.

Ji Zhizhen didn't care about that much. Now that King Wen had given him a big shop, Ji Zhizhen started to prepare. He was very attentive and wrote a poem at the door of the upper bunk, which can be regarded as a slogan:

The entrance is as fierce as a knife,

It burns in my heart.

Boys are bold by nature,

The rivers and lakes are wandering around.

It's just joy and sorrow,

a roar

------ Burn the knife!

Not to mention, Ji Zhizhen really has some skills. Not only did he type out the slogan, but he also used a large black cloth as a banner. The great momentum!Let people feel the hot atmosphere at once!

But five taels of silver for a pot still makes everyone stop, it's too expensive!And I don't know what kind of wine it is?No wine needs to be so expensive!

But Ji Zhizhen had a great idea, opened the jar, and the aroma of wine was overflowing. This is already the best advertisement!Many people know that this is the good wine they have dreamed of as soon as they smell the aroma of this wine!

But Ji Zhizhen has something even better: "Everyone! Anyone who can drink one jar without getting drunk will not only get a refund of the wine money, but also give two jars as a gift! One hundred taels of gold!

Immediately in King Wen's fiefdom, the story began to spread wildly, and the door of the shop was also crowded with people, who really came to challenge, and they were all very confident in their drinking capacity, although they had to spend five taels of silver to buy a jar of wine , but as long as you don't get drunk, you can get the money back, and you can get two jars for free, and it is even more likely that you can drink with Wu Yue and win 100 taels of gold.This is too attractive!

In front of the store, an oversized table was set up, with a row of tables and more than [-] stools on it. There was a row of large plates on the table, which were full of sauced beef, which was for those who came to challenge to drink. use!The aroma of the sauced beef alone has made many people unable to restrain themselves!

"I didn't expect Nineteenth Sister to have such a person. She really has some skills. This method is easy to cause a sensation!" King Wen and Xia Zixiu sat on the top floor of the shop by the window, the table was full of delicious food, and there was a The altar just opened the burning knife!

"Hey! Just a villain who is good at opportunistic tricks!" Xia Zixiu hummed a little unremittingly. He didn't have any affection for Ji Zhizhen at all. angry.So he has always hated Xia Zixiu.

King Wen smiled and didn't ask further questions. A well-trained person like him would not inquire about such mundane matters!When King Wen opened a jar of wine, his spirits immediately lifted. After taking a sip, his eyes sparkled immediately.Makes you proud!

The two talented women sitting next to King Wen were also unyielding women. After drinking a small cup, they were also very happy, and they could also feel the burning heartburn.Even Xia Zixiu had to admit that this wine was indeed very strong!I really don't understand how the sixteenth princess got it. It seems that the nineteenth princess has a lot of very novel and popular things, and now she has stayed in Xiyuan City for more than two months!

At this time, many people were already sitting at the table, and began to drink and eat large pieces of meat. Everyone had the same expression. They were immediately shocked by the strong and hot burning knife, but they were also ecstatic. No, this is the feeling, this is the real spirits!But most people are still confident, can they get drunk with just such a jar of wine?That's too bad!

"Hero! How does it taste? Is it worth five taels of silver?" The people in the audience were also swallowing their saliva and yelling non-stop!Now the first batch of [-] people is already full, and those who want to go up can only wait until the next batch!

"It's worth it! It's worth it! Let alone five taels of silver, even ten taels of silver is worth spending! This is the real wine! Besides, do you think I look like someone who can get drunk?" The big man blushed and said excitedly.

Ji Zhizhen also looked at it with a smile on the side, and said in his heart: Let you blow, wait and see how you fall down later!He had already drank one jar yesterday, but with his drinking capacity, he could only drink one and a half jars, it was already too much for him.

Even though they couldn't go on stage, the number of people below didn't decrease at all, and they still blocked the entrance of the shop. Some people were still shouting: "Is this wine okay? Why hasn't one of them been brought down yet?"

As soon as he said this, a stocky and strong man sitting there fell down, and the soldiers next to him hurried over to carry him away and put him on a mat under the stage!

"You can do it!" Ji Zhizhen counted his thumbs to the old man in the audience, and then shouted domineeringly: "Next! Who will come?"

"I!……"

"I come!"

"Don't rush me to be here first!"

"Old Li, lend me three taels of silver! Then I will return you a jar of burning knives!"

"Look, another one is lying down!"

"..."

Chapter 98 Burning Knives

Of the first batch of twenty people who went up, fourteen of them had already lay down, and four others were vomited in the dark. Fortunately, Ji Zhizheng was prepared, and someone came to clean the dirt on the ground immediately!The remaining two sat there in a daze.Ji Zhizhen didn't urge them, anyway, this thing will not hold up any longer!

But the people below are still booing, hoping that someone will win. Ji Zhizhen nodded with a smile and said: "Come on! Return your silver and take two jars of burning knives! Congratulations..."

Anyway, it wasn't his own wine, Ji Zhizhen didn't feel bad at all, he hoped that someone could win, so that the people in the audience would be more enthusiastic!

But Ji Zhizhen hadn't finished speaking, the two stood up a little slowly, and fell to the ground before they could move their legs!Ji Zhizhen was also a little surprised, and quickly waved his hand: "Come on, take it away! Next!"

At this time, everyone in the audience believed it a little bit. This kind of wine is really powerful, and those two jars of rewards are not so easy to get!Some people even pooled their money to buy a pot, and tasted it first, it was amazing, and they immediately lifted their spirits. Although the degree is high, it feels like they have found their favorite!Immediately he was full of pride, if it was a burning knife, his wife could throw it away!

The atmosphere on and off the stage became more enthusiastic!Ji Zhizheng was also crazy, so he took a big sip very excitedly, and then roared viciously: "Enough! I can hit heavy artillery when I go back!"

"Give me an altar too!"

"I want an altar!"

"And I!"

I didn't expect it to be so popular!Ji Zhizheng shouted without losing the opportunity: "It doesn't matter if you don't have money. Two hundred catties of grain can be exchanged for a jar. Today's new opening, 150 catties can be exchanged for a jar. Don't miss this opportunity. Time won't come again!"

This time the audience became even more enthusiastic. King Wen’s area itself is a grain-producing area, and many people have a lot of stocks. Now I heard that they can exchange grain. Isn’t this a great convenience!

Immediately, many people hurriedly ran towards the house to get food to exchange for this kind of burning knives. There was a scene of yelling in the whole street, don't hurry?It will be gone in a while, I heard there are only a few hundred altars!The next batch will have to wait 20 days!

"Come on, tell Mr. Ji to leave me a hundred altars!" King Wen ordered with a slight frown. He didn't expect this kind of burning knives to be so popular, and Ji Zhizhen's methods were so clever. Done!

One hundred catties of grain for one catty?This thing seems to be as profitable as soap, King Wen thought in his heart, this time he must seize the opportunity!

On the second day, the Nineteenth Princess had started to come back with horse-drawn carts carrying food one after another. The [-] catties of food were brought to the barracks.The nineteenth princess was a little dazed.It's so easy too!Although it was Ji Zhizheng who offered the discount, seeing the neatly stacked grain in the two warehouses in front of him was still a bit like a dream!That's not counting, and part of it is settled in silver!So this time the nineteenth princess received both money and food!

But then the Nineteenth Princess began to feel annoyed, Zhu Xiaobao didn't know how to brew more, and now she had to wait for a long time!

At the same time, Zhu Xiaobao was in Zhao Meng's camp, enjoying himself drinking with Zhao Shenlong and others!Don't look at Zhu Xiaobao's superb cooking skills, but it's not as great as the surprise that this burning knife brought to Zhao Shenlong and others!

"Little Treasure! I, Zhao Shenlong, have admired you all my life except Mr. Duanmu! I still have no intentions and vision! I just gave you all the heaven and earth! I even settled all my people there!" Zhao Shenlong took a sip of his wine , and then sighed.

"Hmph! Who wants you to flatter me!" Tong Wuxin snorted disdainfully.But she was very happy in her heart, it was rare to see Zhao Shenlong so excited, and recently, it seemed that Zhao Shenlong no longer blindly avoided her, which made Tong Wuxin look forward to it!

"Hehe!" Although Zhao Shenlong was pushed back by Tong Wuxin, he didn't care, instead he laughed along with him, and then said to Zhu Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, can you buy us a burning knife every month?" Baitan? Don't worry, we have all the money!"

"Hahahaha! Big brother, you don't know, I'm afraid you can only buy ten altars with your salary. One hundred altars, the sum of our salaries is not enough!" Zhao Shenbao, the third child, laughed loudly. road.

"Ah? Didn't expect this wine to be so expensive?" Zhao Shenlong was a little stunned. Originally, with his salary, 50 taels of silver per month was considered very high. Usually, he didn't spend much money, except to buy some good wine.But I didn't expect that this wine would cost five taels of silver a jar.Where can I drink this?

"No problem! Starting from this month, I will send one hundred altars every month, and it's free! But you can only drink together with your brothers, and don't expose it to me. If people know that this is I brewed it, then I will be in big trouble!" Zhu Xiaobao patted his chest and said boldly at this time.For Duanmu Shishilang, he already trusted them very much, and he was willing to regard them as his friends.

In fact, Zhao Shenlong and the others also knew that Tong Wuxin had moved all of his people to the Paradise, and that Tong Wuxin had also lent his money to Zhu Xiaobao, so it was not surprising that Zhu Xiaobao said this now.It's just that the trust between the two parties has increased by another layer.

"Don't worry! We are not the seventh princess's subordinates, and we will never tell anyone about you. Speaking of this, I just want to talk to you!" Zhao Shenlong suddenly said solemnly: "Just like you As I said, you have attracted the attention of all parties now. I am afraid that this will be very detrimental to you. Alas, Mr. Duanmu also complained about you in the letter, and you are too high-profile, and I think it is a bit too hasty!"

"Hehe! I've thought about it too. If I don't take out these things, it will be difficult for the nineteenth princess to gain a foothold here. At that time, I will be able to obediently go and seek refuge with the seventh princess. Do you think I will follow or not?" Zhu Xiaobao saw through it now, and said with a smile.

"This... also, but now you are indeed very dangerous! Do you have any martial arts!" Zhao Shenlong thought for a while, and Zhu Xiaobao was right. developed here.Just with puppets.

"It's okay! Now that I have a foothold, it won't be so easy to kill me! Besides, I still have Wuxin to protect me!" Zhu Xiaobao said, very confident and rascal, already treating Wuxin as a I have my own bodyguard!

"Hey! That's the only way to go. How about this? I will leave the third child to you. I can rest assured that Wuxin and the third child are by your side. Although the two of them are not the strongest in martial arts, they are good at tracking and lurking. Investigate, if there is any situation that can be discovered in time, this will allow you to..." Zhao Shenlong is still thinking about how to word it.

"Run for your life! Right? It's nothing to be ashamed of. I'm just afraid of death. If it's a little dangerous, I'll run away first. I'll save you trouble!" Zhu Xiaobao said very bluntly to Zhao Shenbao and Tong Said unintentionally.

"Okay! Well said!" Zhao Shenbao shouted with a thumbs up: "I just like that you are so straightforward and shameless! Then when can I make my treasured sword for me?"

"Hey! You're even more shameless!" Zhu Xiaobao also raised his little finger in disdain and snorted.

"You guys want to leave?" Tong Wuxin was in no mood to joke, what she said just now surprised her, Zhao Shenlong and the others are going back!Although she was always angry at Zhao Shenlong, she was still very reluctant in her heart.How good is this kind of life now, there is no risk, and I live happily every day.

"The old man sent a letter, and the emperor fell into a coma again. According to this situation, it should not last half a year! The biggest problem now is that no one can see the emperor, and the eunuchs are delivering orders. Mr. Duanmu told us to hurry back But you and the third child were specially taken care of by Mr. Duanmu!" Zhao Shenlong said to Tong Wuxin apologetically.

"Hmm! I see, you... You guys also need to be careful!" Tong Wuxin said worriedly. Every time such a breakup made her very uneasy, she was afraid that one day she would hear some bad news.

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit heavy, and everyone was a little reluctant to part, but that was the characteristic of Duanmu Shiyilang, they often did some unconventional things, and every time it was very risky!But it has also made their reputation, and it has become a habit. If there is nothing to do for a long time, it will be very uncomfortable!

"Then...Brother, I still have about fifty altars of burning knives, take them with you when you leave!" Zhu Xiaobao was also a little surprised, he was joking and laughing just now, and they will break up in a few days. This is really a bit reluctant!

"Okay! We won't refuse this! Xiaobao, do you have anything else? Do you need our help?" Zhao Shenlong patted his thigh happily. These fifty altars of burning knives are more important than any other gift. Happy to come!So he also asked to see if he could help Zhu Xiaobao solve some problems before leaving.

"Well, there is a little thing! I want a strong bow, the strongest one! It's even stronger than yours!" Zhu Xiaobao suddenly thought of helping Jumei get a strong bow.

"Huh? Stronger than my bow? Does that seem to be gone?" Zhao Shenlong was stunned when he heard that, stronger than his own bow, how powerful is that?Is there such a person?

"Xiaobao is right, there is a strong woman in the Paradise of Paradise, stronger than you! Xiaobao wants her to practice archery!" Tong Wuxin nodded and said.

"Oh! There seems to be no such thing as a strong bow! Unless..." Zhao Shenlong said a little embarrassed.

"Unless what? Tell me quickly!" Wuxin asked impatiently.

"General Zhao Meng has a hard bow. You may have heard of it. It is called a gold and stone bow. It takes at least three dentures of strength to draw it, and General Zhao Meng can draw it five times. Now he is over 30 years old, with shoulders and backs. I was injured, so I can't draw it!" Zhao Shenlong said admiringly, he also tried that bow, but he couldn't draw it at all.When Zhao Meng was about [-] years old, he was able to pull away five times, which was already a miracle!

"Can you borrow it? I'll borrow it and use it, and he will keep it!" Zhu Xiaobao said quickly, thinking that after borrowing it, he might be able to imitate such a super hard bow!

"I'm afraid it will be difficult!" Zhao Shenlong said in a bit of embarrassment. Although Zhao Meng could no longer draw this golden stone bow, he still placed it on his weapon rack as a treasure.

"Hey! Boss, not necessarily! Take two jars of burning knives and go and see if he will lend you!" Zhao Shenbao still had a flexible mind and immediately said with a smile.

"Huh! That's a good idea! Wait, I'll go to General Zhao Meng right now!" Zhao Shenlong also nodded and said.

Chapter 99 Golden Crossbow

Tong Wuxin suddenly said to Zhao Shenlong: "Let's go together! Xiaobao is going too!"

Zhao Shenlong pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "That's fine, maybe Xiaobao has more face than us!"

Zhao Shenlong was also a little surprised. Tong Wuxin took the initiative to help others, which was rare in these years!It can be seen that Zhu Xiaobao is indeed outstanding.

In General Zhao Meng's big tent, Zhao Meng was also a little worried, and now it seemed that the Seventh Princess had no intention of letting him go back at all.At the beginning, I just said that I would stay for a while, but I didn't expect that I couldn't leave when I came here.Zhao Meng is still a family member, so he is still quite entangled, should he bring his family too?

Unexpectedly, Zhao Shenlong brought Zhu Xiaobao and Tong Wuxin to see him at this time.For Duanmu Shiyilang, Zhao Meng is very casual, and the relationship is quite tacit, because they are both Duanmuqi's people.And he knew something about Zhao Shenlong and Tong Wuxin.

Seeing the three of them coming together at this time, Zhao Meng was a little surprised: "Xiao Zhao, Wuxin? Why are you here? And Xiaobao?"

"General Zhao, hello! I came to see you specially!" Zhu Xiaobao said with a smile when he saw him, holding two jars of burning knives in his hand.

"Hey! Little slippery boy, seeing your smiling face, I know it's not a good thing!" Zhao Meng was amused by Zhu Xiaobao's appearance, holding two jars of wine, and even bent over as a salute Yes, that looks really funny.

"I'm just telling the truth! Look, two jars of burning knives! How about it? This is just brewed, and Baba brought it to you!" Zhu Xiaobao put the two jars of burning knives on the table, and Just snapped open the seal.

"Huh? What kind of wine is this? It's...very special!" Like Zhao Shenlong, Zhao Meng's biggest hobby in life is drinking, and he drinks a lot!

"Come on! Don't worry about the wine for now? Drink a bowl first and see if you can hold it?" Zhu Xiaobao resorted to aggressive tactics as soon as he came up.
