Sheng Fu

Not long after, Qu Li successfully brought several bottles of fine wine from the Prince Ping's residence.

Pu Weiqing took a closer look and saw that the bottle was made of high-quality purple glass, and the wine had a reddish glow. He asked in surprise, "Is this Zichuan wine from a few years ago?"

In the early years, there was a lonely city in the northern desert called Zichuan.

Around Zichuan City, there were wild grapevines. At that time, various monsters also roamed around Zichuan. The extremely yin and evil poisonous gas of the monsters and the extremely yang earth energy of the yellow sand desert complemented each other, forming a special geographical environment, which naturally gave birth to the famous Zichuan grapes.

In earlier years, some high-ranking officials and nobles spared no expense to purchase Zichuan grapes for winemaking.

But later, with a violent beast tide, Zichuan City was completely submerged in the yellow sand desert, and Zichuan wine became a thing of the past.

Seeing this, Yuwen Jun rested her chin on her hand and said thoughtfully, "If I remember correctly, when I entered Bailu Pavilion, I was invited by Prince Ping, and this was the kind of wine we drank at the banquet."

"You really like this kind of wine?"

"If you like, I can give you half of the Zichuan wine treasured by Prince Ping."

Upon hearing this, Pu Weiqing shook his head awkwardly and said, "There's no need for that. A gentleman doesn't take what others cherish."

He smiled without saying a word, only giving Qu Li a very subtle look. The latter did not make a fuss, and everything was understood without being said.

Half an incense stick later, the banquet began.

"Let's skip the formalities and make ourselves at home for today's small gathering," Yuwen Jun said casually from the head seat.

Pu Weiqing looked at Yuwen Jun with great interest and tentatively asked, "So, you've also developed some skill in speaking platitudes?"

Yuwen Jun held the wine bottle in one hand and slowly poured wine for the group, saying with a half-smile, "Plain talk is only suitable for comforting the ignorant and suffering common people, or soldiers, or for playing along, but it is not suitable for us."

"Actually, I don't understand why most people, when they are sad and upset, will be grateful to others for just a few words of insincere comfort."

Upon hearing this, Pu Weiqing sighed helplessly and said, "Because most people have feelings in their hearts, but most people's feelings are superficial. They can neither give deep love nor have enough money."

Yuwen Jun hummed in agreement and chuckled, "I see."

"We'll drink. After we finish, I'll have to go to the cabinet to transfer the connections from the Purple Gold Alliance Chamber of Commerce to the Twin Dragons Mansion. Tonight, I'll have to go see that child."

"I reckon I won't be able to go to the outskirts today to meet your White Deer army."

That child, of course, was Li Qiu.

Pu Weiqing nodded, then raised his glass to clink with Huo Mu and Qingyue, saying humbly and earnestly, "Please guide me in the future."

Huo Mu and Qing Yue also stood up and clinked glasses with the commander of the White Deer Army.

There aren't many rules at this table, but respect for the strong is in everyone's nature.

In fact, Yuwen Jun himself was also very curious about how sharp Pu Weiqing's Pure Rhyme sword would become after he stepped into that sea of ​​suffering, and whether his sword energy could cleave the chaotic universe.

If there is an opportunity in the future, Yuwen Jun will definitely take a closer look at Pu Weiqing's swordsmanship on the battlefield where Pu Weiqing is located, just to broaden his horizons.

"Come on, let's drink!" Yuwen Jun said enthusiastically.

Everyone raised their glasses, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

……

……

In the afternoon.

After the banquet, Pu Weiqing left with Huo Mu and Qingyue. This small gathering would naturally be known in detail to Prince Ping and His Majesty the Emperor. The entry of soul practitioners into the capital was also a deliberate act by Yuwen Jun.

The soul masters under his command will be used in big events in the future.

This action today is also a way of giving a heads-up to the high-ranking officials in the human court.

"Prepare the carriage!" Yuwen Jun stretched and said from under the eaves.

Upon hearing this, Qu Li hurriedly ran towards the stables ahead.

Not long after, Yuwen Jun rode in a magnificent carriage toward Bai Xiaowei's Prime Minister's residence. Bai Xiaowei was now both the Prime Minister and the head of the cabinet.

The carriage that Yuwen Jun rode in was also drawn by four top-quality dragon-scaled horses. According to etiquette, Yuwen Jun also had the status of a king, so naturally his carriage was also drawn by four horses.

However, this was the first time Yuwen Jun had ever traveled with such a grand entourage.

Prime Minister's House.

The guards at the gate remained unchanged. Upon seeing Yuwen Jun alight from the carriage, they quickly opened the ceremonial gate and bowed in respect.

Qu Li waited quietly outside the Prime Minister's residence.

The moment Yuwen Jun entered the gate, he subconsciously turned around and glanced at the rather shabby-looking mansion opposite him. Li Qiu was not exactly an unknown figure in the capital. At least in the eyes of many merchants, Li Qiu had inherited Qiu Qing's estate and owned a huge mansion in the capital, where land was extremely valuable.

"Sigh..." Yuwen Jun sighed softly before stepping into the Prime Minister's residence.

Ultimately, the magnificent Prime Minister's Mansion overshadowed the shabby and old one. Hopefully, the lives of ordinary people will continue to improve in the future.

Inside the courtyard, folded documents were piled up like a mountain on the desk.

Bai Xiaowei, Gu Yue, and Shen Jun each occupied a table, quickly reviewing memorials. Twenty red birds circled in mid-air, issuing commands that swiftly disappeared into the void and were transmitted to distant places.

Before he knew it, Yuwen Jun had arrived in the central courtyard.

Seeing this scene, I wondered if I should also settle a few soul masters for these three, but then I thought better of it. It's best not to let soul masters interfere in human internal affairs.

Bai Xiaowei, Gu Yue, and Shen Jun simultaneously raised their heads, their slightly serious gazes fixed on Yuwen Jun.

"You've been quite busy!" Yuwen Jun said, bowing slightly to the three of them.

Bai Xiaowei bowed his head first, followed by Gu Yue and Shen Jun, who continued to attend to their official duties.

"There are three teapots on the table: one for black tea, one for green tea, and one for white tea. Please help yourself," Bai Xiaowei said to Yuwen Jun, his head bowed, neither perfunctory nor serious.

Yuwen Jun rubbed his nose and sat down on the table, looking slightly embarrassed.

"Why not transfer the Purple Gold Alliance's connections to the Twin Dragons Mansion?" After hesitating for a moment, Yuwen Jun forced himself to speak.

Yuwen Jun was well aware that every order issued by these three people would directly affect the local people's livelihood in certain areas, and would result in the immediate removal of some officials from office and the immediate promotion of others.

"Once we finish this afternoon, we will send all the members of the Zijin Chamber of Commerce to Hengchang Sect," Bai Xiaowei replied while writing furiously.

Yuwen Jun picked up the teacup, took a small sip, rolled his eyes helplessly, and put the teacup down again.

I understand how busy you are, but I'm also about to go to the battlefield!
Staying here would only be pointless, and I never expected to encounter such a cold reception on my first ride in the King of Men's car.

In a flash, Yuwen Jun returned to the carriage and chuckled at Qu Li, "Let's go, let's go back the way we came." (End of Chapter)
