"Come to the library with me, and you don't have to worry about those mundane things."
"These things are enough."
"Speaking of which, these things are in my spare time. When I went out to the library to play at night, I got them from those evil rangers, so they were put to some use."
"Otherwise, since neither you nor I are involved in production, it would be really difficult to have this thing."
Seeing Zhao Shui's slightly anxious look, Xiao Tianming couldn't help but smile. He reached into his arms and took out three or four golden cubes, which were scattered in a corner of the wooden case.
That is Chu's most valuable asset, seal gold.
Among the Xia countries, the Chu country has the most items, and their value is quite high, but... they are rarely circulated among merchants, that is, there are many among the rituals of some states.
In recent years, Chu's internal affairs have been in chaos, and a lot of those things have been spread out. A rich and prosperous place like Lanling City is naturally indispensable, so it has gained a lot from those rangers.
One seal of gold is comparable to more than a hundred Chu cloth coins, but the things on the wooden case in front of me are not worth a hundred Chu cloth coins.
Each of the Xia countries has its own currency for its own wealth. However, due to the different national conditions and national strength, the currencies of each country's wealth are different.
I vaguely remember that when I was in Xianyang Palace, I heard that... the central government said that if there is one day under heaven, then only Qin's wealth and currency will exist in the Xia Dynasty, which will be much more convenient.
Regarding this..., Xiao Tianming thinks it is a good strategy, after all, he also feels that it is quite troublesome.
"This is... the seal gold of Chu State!"
"Zhao Shui has seen it before."
"Does Senior Brother Tianming also go out of the library at night? Are there any evil rangers in Lanling City?"
Looking at the few gold seals dropped by Senior Brother Tianming on the wooden case, Zhao Shui curiously took one and put it in his hand. It was really quite heavy. There was no such thing in Yan State.
There are sword coins in Yan State, but no seal gold.
Looking at the words on the seal, it is the word Ying Ai. I know that the word Ying represents the name of the capital of Chu State, but the word love is not very clear.
I think it has other connotations.
It was really rude today to play with one or two and put them on the wooden case. First, I asked Senior Brother Tianming to take me out to play, but... I didn’t have any belongings with me, so Senior Brother Tianming took care of everything.
Brother Tianming is so kind!
Although he is only a few years older than himself, but... there is a different kind of sense of stability when he is by Senior Brother Tianming's side.
I also heard what Senior Brother Tianming said about going out to play at night and getting loan sharks from those evil rangers. I immediately became curious again. At night... I went to bed very early.
"I always do my meditation at night, so I don't go to bed early every day. In my free time, I go out to the library."
"Compared to the daytime, Lanling City is quite lively after night falls, but... there are also some evildoers who take advantage of the night."
"Such as the rangers who rob the rich, such as the rangers who want to do evil..., there are many of them. The yin and yang of heaven and earth, good and bad, black and white, always go hand in hand."
"It's a waste if these things fall into the hands of those people."
The prosperity and stability of Lanling City are attracting more and more common people from the rest of Xia's enemies. Naturally... this is especially true for the rangers.
When encountering those who do evil at night, Tian Ming will not hold back at all. With his current level, he can easily deal with those idle rangers, even if he is a ranger at the level of a god.
They don't need to do evil at night, and besides, there's no need for that.
"Then...how did Senior Brother Tianming deal with them?"
Zhao Shui held the cup of fruit wine with both hands and drank it with pleasure. Compared with many etiquettes in the Yan Kingdom, here... there are no extra restrictions and it feels very comfortable.
"You little evildoer, just cut off the tendons of your hands and hamstrings and be an ordinary person in this life."
"The great evil ones will directly destroy their cultivation. If they commit murder, their internal organs will be directly damaged, and their lives will not last long. They will be killed directly... but there is no such thing."
When Tianming heard this, he couldn't help but smile.
Perhaps it was because he had stayed in Qin for too long that some of the methods of dealing with the situation were similar to the laws of Qin, but killing people was not always the best way to solve the problem.
"Eat it quickly, these things won't taste good when they're cold."
As he finished speaking, he saw that Zhao Shui had been listening to him and drinking fruit wine. Tianming quickly pointed to the things on the wooden table and said with a smile, since he finally came out once, he should enjoy himself.
"Yes, senior brother Tianming."
Zhao Shui nodded, put the cup in his hand, and took the pair of bamboo chopsticks. This thing has been used a lot in the library in recent months, so it is not unfamiliar.
"Hey, it's a pity that Wei will not last long."
"In the battle of Beizhai, Wei's great general Xiao Wei Mou led more than 100,000 Wei soldiers to fight against Qin's general Wang Bi. Unfortunately... he was defeated in one battle and lost to the tiger and wolf troops of Qin."
"Sacrificing himself for his country and dying on the battlefield, the Qin army marched eastward and reached Daliang City within a hundred miles. I'm afraid... Wei will not last long."
There was a half-open private room with no sealed objects on the side. Besides, there were no such things in such an ordinary wine shop. Tianming and Zhao Shui were chatting and laughing.
Suddenly..., a loud sigh swept through a nearby elegant room.
"Um?"
Hearing this, Tianming raised his eyebrows. The more than 100,000 main forces of the Wei Kingdom... were directly destroyed?
Those were more than 100,000 Wei soldiers. When I was wandering around two days ago, I heard some people saying that Wei could sustain it for a month or two. When Qi and Chu came to rescue, Wei could be saved.
Even if the combined power of the three kingdoms can annihilate Wang Ben's army, it is uncertain whether they can even counterattack Qin's territory!
Now... in the blink of an eye, the situation has reversed. Wei's true main force of more than 100,000 people no longer exists. General Xiao Wei Mou has died for the country, and the Qin army is advancing eastward... Wei's current situation is absolutely unsustainable.
It seems that the final decision can be made before autumn at most.
"If the Wei State is destroyed, all the lands of the Three Jin Dynasties will be in the hands of the Qin State. A few years ago, the Qin State came out of other countries in the east, and Han and Zhao were destroyed first. Recently, it is rumored that Wang Jian's army has also besieged Jicheng."
"Without the existence of Yannan, Shanggu, and Yuyang, the Yan State has no solid foundation. In the coming year, it will be easy for the Yan State to be destroyed."
"If this is true, then Yan and Zhao will be one, Qin will have no worries in the north, and the three Jins will be one, and Qin will have no worries in the central plains. By then, Qin's troops will reach the border of Chu and Qi, and all the Xia will be in danger!"
"I wonder how long Lanling City can remain stable!"
In the private room on the side, there are still long sighs, describing the general situation of the Xia Dynasty, which is difficult to recover. Who would have thought that the Wei State could not even support it for two months?
If Wei is destroyed, Qin's troops can reach the side of Lanling City!
When the time comes, there’s no telling what the situation will be like here!
With the iron-blooded temperament of the tigers and wolves of the Qin State, I am afraid that all kinds of killings will occur in Lanling City!
"It's pitiful... that the State of Yan, which has been the legacy of Duke Zhao for 800 years, will be conquered and destroyed by the State of Qin at the latest tomorrow. It's really a pity."
"Yan Dan, the crown prince of the Yan Kingdom, has a reputation for benevolence and righteousness. This year, he has a big plan to assassinate Qin. However, it has not been successful. Haotian will not protect Zhu Xia!"
A voice that was completely different from before came from the side room.
Listening to the discussion in the private room next to him, Tian Ming shook his head. It was just chatter by old people and empty talk. Don't look at those people talking about these things. They were very clear-minded. We really wanted them to come up with ideas.
We still don’t know what the outcome will be.
Get rid of the distracting thoughts in your mind, those things have nothing to do with you, watch Zhao Shui eat his food carefully, he looks very elegant, it is a kind of enjoyment.
bite!
"Well, it's okay."
Suddenly, watching a meatball that Zhao Shui held with chopsticks fall on the wooden table, bouncing slightly and about to fall on his body, Tianming raised his hand and a strong wind swept it to the side.
Benn asked aloud.
"Senior brother Tianming, it's okay to call for water. It's just that the meatballs are a little round."
He raised his head and smiled lightly at Senior Brother Tianming. Listening to the conversation in the private room next to him, he felt a little uncomfortable for no reason. This was... the first time he heard news from the Yan Kingdom since he came south from the Yan Kingdom.
When I left the country of Yan, I felt in my heart that the situation in the country was not good. My father was worried about it all day long, and even white hair grew on his temples.
But... I couldn't do much to help, so my father sent me to Lanling City, hoping to reduce his worries. Now I heard the discussion between the two people in the private room.
Jicheng of Yan State was unexpectedly besieged by the Qin army!
Then... wouldn't it be dangerous if my father is also in it?
Even if that man still speaks, the Yan Kingdom will be destroyed!
Really... looking at the dishes on the wooden table in front of me and the fruit wine in the cup next to me, I felt a trace of sadness in my heart, my eyebrows drooped, I was still acting so wantonly in Lanling City like my father.
Really rude.
"Senior Brother Tianming, let's go back to the library."
When his father sent him to the Spring and Autumn Library in Lanling City, he must have wanted to give himself a stable life, rather than letting himself act so recklessly that he would be in danger.
Thinking of this, he gently put down the chopsticks in his hand, stood up from behind the wooden desk, feeling a little depressed, and whispered to Senior Brother Tianming.
"Um?"
"……,good."
Although I don't know why Zhao Shui suddenly acted like this, I can feel that something is wrong with Zhao Shui's expression at the moment. He seems to be no longer as cheerful as before.
I guess something suddenly occurred to me.
Even so... Tianming didn't have anything to worry about. He stood up and stepped forward, leaving a seal of gold. It might be a bit too much, but it's not his own thing anyway, so he doesn't feel bad.
"Brother Tianming, if the Wei Kingdom is destroyed, then... will the Qin army come to Lanling City?"
"I heard that the Qin army is a tiger and a wolf, and the barbarians are full of blood. Where will we go then?"
As Brother Tianming slowly left the wine shop and headed back to the library, which was not too far away, the midday sun was still so hot, but the two of them didn't feel it.
In my mind, I was still responding to the chat between the two people in the private room next to the wine shop. I called for water... and whispered again. I looked at Senior Brother Tianming next to me. He knew more than me and was smarter than me.
