Chapter 269: His Royal Highness, is he all right here?
"I made a bet with Miss Qi Yue before that if I could make a wine better than Liusha Brewing, she would stay by my side to protect me for a year."
"If I lose, I will agree to her three conditions." Chen Changfeng explained with a smile.
Yao Xiaoren also understood at this moment that the girl named Qi Yue in front of him was exactly the person he had just mentioned.
Qi Yue, disciple of Guigu!
The best sword in the world!
The swordsman of the Emperor of Chu!
How could the prince Chen Changfeng know her?
Or was it Chen Changfeng who tricked her into coming here?
Moreover, Chen Changfeng just said that he made a bet with Qi Yue that Liusha Nian was the best wine in the world, and no one dared to say that the wine he made could surpass Liusha Nian.
How dare Chen Changfeng tell such a lie in order to keep Qi Yue?
Yao Xiaoren did not believe that Chen Changfeng could brew wine that was better than Liusha Brewing. It was clear that Chen Changfeng was bound to lose in this bet.
Yao Xiaoren couldn't figure out for a while where Chen Changfeng got his confidence.
But this is obviously not the time to say anything else. Since he is a disciple of Guigu, he will naturally not spread what he heard here.
In this way, it doesn't matter whether Qi Yue leaves or not!
"Prince, just now in the court, Your Majesty punished the prince for the incident in Yizhou. He took back the command of the prince's black armored guards and put him in confinement for three months."
"Prince, our only trump card is gone!" Yao Xiaoren said, feeling extremely sad.
When Qi Yue heard what Yao Xiaoren said, she couldn't help but look at Chen Changfeng.
As far as she knew, Chen Changfeng was able to escape unscathed in Yizhou because of the timely appearance of the black armored guards, and the black armored guards also played a huge role in the previous battle with the Chu Empire.
The black-armored guard who was Chen Changfeng's trump card was taken back by the emperor. Chen Changfeng would definitely be panicking at this moment.
However……
Qi Yue did not see Chen Changfeng look panicked.
"The black-armored guard is very important to you, right? Now that the black-armored guard has been taken back by the emperor, aren't you panicking?"
"You know, Luo Wang and you, the princes of the Ming Dynasty, all want to get rid of you. Without the black armored guards, how can you fight them?" Qi Yue felt strange.
Chen Changfeng definitely shouldn't look so calm.
Yao Xiaoren also felt strange, but he believed that Chen Changfeng had not yet reacted to the bad news.
"Prince, although this matter has a huge impact on us, it is not impossible to do anything..."
"Old Yaotou, what can you do?" Chen Changfeng suddenly asked.
"This..." Yao Xiaoren was just worried that Chen Changfeng would be completely shocked, so he casually said something to comfort Chen Changfeng.
At this moment, Yao Xiaoren had no idea in his mind.
Yao Xiaoren was a little embarrassed.
Although he has always stood by Chen Changfeng's side, he does not seem to have provided any substantial help to Chen Changfeng.
"I have an idea." Chen Changfeng suddenly said with a smile.
Yao Xiaoren was stunned, and Qi Yue also looked at Chen Changfeng.
Neither of them realized that Chen Changfeng could still come up with a solution under such a situation.
"When I met with my father before, I told him about the brewing process. If I could make a better wine than quicksand wine, my father would allow me to use the 50,000 soldiers in Huo Qubing's hands.
Select five thousand people to become my private army in the East Palace..."
"Is your mind okay?" Qi Yue's voice had a hint of weirdness.
How confident does Chen Changfeng have to be in his own brewing method that he dares to make an agreement with two people over one thing?
This guy must be crazy!
Is there any wine in the world that is more delicious than quicksand wine?
Yao Xiaoren was stunned on the spot, looking at the few stones of sorghum rice on the ground, his eyes filled with astonishment.
After a long while, Yao Xiaocai came back to his senses, with a wry smile on his face: "Prince, are you sure?"
Yao Xiaoren really doesn’t know what to say now!
If Chen Changfeng could really brew a wine superior to Liusha Brewing and select 5,000 men from Huo Qubing to become the private army of the East Palace, this would certainly be a good thing.
Although the Black Armored Guards are loyal to Chen Changfeng, they are the emperor's army after all.
If the East Palace Private Army can be formed, they will no longer need to be under the emperor's control in the future, and if Chen Qingzhi has commanded the Black Armored Guards for a long time and trained the East Palace Private Army, he will naturally be able to capture it.
But the question is, how can one brew wine that surpasses quicksand brewing?
Liusha Niang, formerly known as Liusha Niang, was a fine wine that Gui Gu spent ten years trying to brew. Later, Gui Gu’s disciple Zhang Liang improved the technology, and the current Liusha Niang was born.
To put it bluntly, among all the countries and millions of people in the world, absolutely no one can brew a more delicious wine than Liusha Brewing.
Chen Changfeng’s method simply won’t work!
But he, Yao Xiaoren, could not tell Chen Changfeng the facts directly.
"I heard that the first imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty will be held in a few days." Chen Changfeng did not answer Yao Xiaoren's question.
Yao Xiaoren guessed that Chen Changfeng himself was not very sure.
At this moment, Yao Xiaoren didn't want to ask more about wine making, he could only pray in his heart.
"Your Majesty asked the veteran to take charge of the imperial examination today. Prince, don't worry, the veteran will arrange all the matters properly." Yao Xiaoren nodded, and his last words were also to reassure Chen Changfeng.
After the Yizhou Incident, Chen Changfeng's situation was already in a precarious state. Yao Xiaoren also hoped that this imperial examination would help Chen Changfeng find greater talents.
"The imperial examination is of great importance. They will not just watch us grow bigger. Old Yaotou, you should be careful." Chen Changfeng warned.
Even if you don't think about it, you can still know that the second and third princes will not sit back and watch the imperial examination proceed smoothly.
How the two of them prevented the imperial examination in the first place, how they will secretly sabotage it this time.
Yao Xiaoren nodded, looked at the sorghum on the ground, and finally didn't know what to say. He bowed to Chen Changfeng and slowly left the yard.
"It seems that no one has confidence in your brewing business. If you give up now, I can give you one less condition." Seeing Yao Xiaoren retreating, Qi Yue couldn't help but make fun of Chen Changfeng.
Chen Changfeng is even younger than himself, but he always pretends to be mature in front of him.
Qi Yue couldn't help but want to see Chen Changfeng admit defeat.
"You'd better prepare to write a letter to Brother Zhang first, saying that you have to stay here to protect me this year." Chen Changfeng smiled, then turned and left.
"Bah, arrogant!" Qi Yue sighed and glanced at the few stones of sorghum rice on the ground.
She didn't believe that with just a few stones of sorghum rice, she could make wine that was more delicious than quicksand wine.
I will definitely win this bet!
…
Tang Lin felt that Chen Changfeng was quite capable.
The ice cubes and ice cream served last time really opened Tang Lin's eyes, and he no longer dared to look down on the Crown Prince.
Today, he was at home, thinking about whether to use ice cubes to do other tricks, and then he received a letter from the East Palace.
It was said that the prince asked him to bring some craftsmen who knew how to make wine to the East Palace to help.
Tang Lin couldn't figure it out. If the prince wanted to drink, he could just send someone to find him. Why would he bring the craftsmen there himself?
After going to the East Palace and asking, I found out that Chen Changfeng actually wanted to make his own wine.
Still using the most common sorghum rice to make wine!
You know, most of the fine wines in the world are brewed from rice.
Sorghum rice is just food for ordinary people.
"Sister, Your Highness, is he okay here?"
"Is it because of today's court meeting that His Highness the Crown Prince was stimulated?" Tang Lin pointed at his head and asked Tang Xueer cautiously.
Tang Xueer rolled her eyes at her brother, but she couldn't help but worry about Chen Changfeng in her eyes.
