Back at the door of the private room, Qin He was about to push the door open.
But he found that Du Ziteng was not drinking, but pouring something into the wine jar, and looking around like a thief.
Qin He couldn't help but frown.
Looking closely, Du Ziteng was also holding a wine jar in his hand and was pouring wine into his own jar.
He placed the empty jar on the ground, picked up a bucket next to it and poured water into it, but he didn't know what he was pouring out.
He drank two jars in a row before stopping. Then he took the bucket out like a thief and came back to wipe off the spilled water on the table before sitting down again.
Seeing this, Qin He pushed the door open and went in.
Du Ziteng saw Qin He coming back and said with a smile: "Brother, what took you so long? Come quickly."
"Is this... more wine?" Qin He asked, looking at the two extra jars of wine.
"Hey, this is my first time treating my brothers to drinks. You don't have to have girls, but there has to be enough wine, so I asked the waiter to bring two more jars."
Du Ziteng smiled and filled Qin He's bowl with wine before filling his own.
Qin He saw the wine in his glass and his slightly frown relaxed.
This guy seems to be really poor.
He poured himself wine, but drank water.
While he was busy just now, he was filling his jar with water, and the wine flowed to his side.
Unless you are extremely poor, you won't do such a thing.
"The Bauhinia Trading Company is well-known in Danzhou. Working there should pay quite a bit of money, right?" Qin He asked casually after taking a sip of wine.
"Alas... no matter how big the business is, it is someone else's business and has nothing to do with us. We only need a place to live and a free lunch. Everything else depends on our performance. We must not make any mistakes when purchasing goods, otherwise we will lose money according to the price. We may even lose everything and sell ourselves into slavery." Du Ziteng said with a bitter face.
Qin He nodded. The young manager of a large trading company was already considered a capable person.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the purchasing eye, which is not something that ordinary people can do. If you make a mistake, the loss will be huge.
But even so, the profit sharing is not that good. There will be a little, but it is also accompanied by risks. Once you make a wrong judgment, you will lose everything.
Of course, whether the profit sharing is good or not depends on who you compare it with; compared with the hard-working laborers, farmers and other lower-class people outside, it is a very good job.
Looking at Du Ziteng, Qin He looked him over carefully.
He had practiced cultivation, and he looked quite elegant and handsome, if one ignored his somewhat untidy beard. But strangely, his strength was only at the Mortal Body Realm, and his aura fluctuations were weak even at the Mortal Body Realm, not much stronger than an ordinary person.
Qin He was a little surprised, but he didn't ask too much. On the contrary, Du Ziteng was very talkative. He could talk about all kinds of topics from all over the world as if he was curious.
"Brother, do you know that the current crown prince who is the regent is this..." After chatting for a few words, Du Ziteng gestured with two ears on his head, his brows flying with joy.
"Mr. Rabbit?"
Qin He raised his brows slightly. This was the first time he had heard of such a royal secret.
Du Ziteng nodded and said, "The decline of the Dajing Royal Family is quite obvious. There are only a few people in the younger generation who can stand up to the standard. At least there was a Purple-Robed Marquis in the previous generation."
"Is Marquis Zi Yi a member of the royal family?" Qin He blinked. When Saw Lizard Tian went south before, he was escorted by three humans, one of whom was Marquis Zi Yi. He was a bit rough, looked to be about thirty years old, and had a bit of personality.
"You don't even know this?" Du Ziteng was quite surprised. He said, "Marquis Zi Yi is not very old, but he is of a high generation. He is the younger uncle of the current crown prince."
"It is said that when the old emperor was in seclusion, there were calls in the court for him to pass the throne directly to Marquis Ziyi. For this, Marquis Ziyi severely offended the current crown prince. However, the matter was eventually left unresolved. Before the old emperor went into seclusion, he decreed that the crown prince would be regent. Three years have passed since then."
"What is the strength of the old emperor?" Qin He asked curiously.
"The old emperor ascended the throne when he was over ninety years old. He is now one hundred and sixty years old. He is an old monster in the middle stage of the Dao Palace Realm. This time he is in seclusion to break through to the late stage of the Dao Palace Realm."
Du Ziteng said, then he shook his head again, "But I think it's unlikely. It's said that the old emperor had a problem with his cultivation before. If he breaks through this time, it's not a big deal. If he doesn't, the Dajing Empire will be in big trouble."
"Is the Dajing Empire ruled by only one old emperor?"
Qin He asked, this needs to be compared. The Wan Yao Kingdom is not a little bit strong. It is said that there is also a Beiliang Kingdom in the north, and there are constant frictions with the Dajing Empire.
"That's not the case. It's said that there was an old imperial ancestor who had reached the peak of the Dao Palace Realm before he went into seclusion, but there was no news after that. I don't know if he is still in seclusion or has passed away. It has been over a hundred years. In addition, there is another powerful person in the Dao Palace Realm in the royal family of the Dajing Empire."
"Who?"
"Marquis Zi Yi's father is also an old fellow. He is said to be in the early stage of Dao Palace Realm. However, he seems to be away from Da Jing Country and traveling."
"How many powerful people are there in that family?"
"The four major families, Yan, Liang, Gu, and Hong, all have Dao Palace Realm masters in charge."
"Who is the strongest?"
"The Yan family, the current Prime Minister Yan Hui, is from the Yan family. His strength is at the peak of the Lunhai Realm. Although he is old, he still has a chance to reach the Dao Palace Realm. If he succeeds, the Yan family will have two Dao Palace Realm powerhouses."
"Wouldn't the royal family be under a lot of pressure?"
"A little bit, otherwise why would the Crown Prince try so hard to please Lizard Tianlong? He just wants to maintain the situation before the old emperor breaks through. But then again, this Crown Prince is too cowardly. He's almost destroyed the morale of the imperial court."
"..."
Afterwards, Du Ziteng said a lot, describing the situation facing the Dajing Empire, and outlining the general situation of the Dajing Empire for Qin He.
"Is the Dajing Empire in danger of collapse?"
After listening to a lot, Qin He expressed his worries. If a Lizard Dragon could trigger the collective action of the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom, it would cause serious consequences if he was not careful.
"At the moment, it seems unlikely. The situation is very complicated. The Great Jing Empire has been established for over a thousand years, so there must be some hidden cards that outsiders don't know about. For example, the attitudes of the two major sects, Lingxiao Sect and Baiyun Pavilion, are crucial. Currently, the only ones who can destroy the Great Jing Empire are either the aristocratic families, the Beiliang Kingdom, or the Wan Yao Kingdom."
"As for the aristocratic families, it seems that they don't have enough motivation yet, and there aren't any major conflicts. If the Northern Liang Kingdom invades, the aristocratic families will definitely stand on the side of the Great Jing Empire. After all, it's a foreign invasion."
"As for the Ten Thousand Demons Nation, it would be a war between humans and demons. Even the Northern Liang Nation wouldn't want to see the Great Jing Empire destroyed, not to mention the two major sects."
"So the overall structure is relatively stable. The only instability is the movements of the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom and the position of the Crown Prince?" Qin He nodded after listening, and then summarized in one sentence.
Du Ziteng was stunned for a moment, then slowly gave a thumbs up: "Brother, your summary is quite insightful."
"It's so-so." Qin He was not modest. He thought to himself that stability was enough. Don't make any trouble. Otherwise, the Dajing Empire would fall apart, and that would be no fun.
Afterwards, Du Ziteng continued to chat about all sorts of things, local customs, mountains and rivers, sect struggles, national boundaries, gossip, etc.
He can talk about any topic. Some things he talks about are hearsay, but some things he is very sure of.
The more Qin He talked, the more he felt that this guy must not come from an ordinary family.
It is unlikely that a mortal from an ordinary family would have such a broad vision.
However, Qin He did not investigate further. They were just casual acquaintances, so it was ok to chat and gossip, but it was better not to get too involved.
Qin He didn't ask Du Ziteng, and Du Ziteng didn't ask too much about Qin He. They both maintained a tacit understanding.
In this way, before we knew it, the drinking session lasted until it was almost dark.
The curfew was about to begin, the banquet ended, and Du Ziteng paid the bill and went home.
Qin He returned to the backyard and was about to take the madam and the pimp away when he suddenly heard a burst of dense footsteps and squeaking sounds on the street, as well as a horse-drawn carriage.
Immediately afterwards, the backyard gate opened, and five or six people drove a horse-drawn carriage into the yard. Two sacks were lifted from the carriage, and something was struggling and twisting inside, making a whimpering sound.
Judging from the shape, they should be two women.
