Qin Shi Huang: Swordsmanship begins with picking up Xiao Meng

Chapter 55 Walking with Han Fei, Lu Bai
Roadside tavern!

"Shopkeeper, serve some wine. Brother Jiang, please sit down!"

Han Fei, who had finally found a tavern, had no choice but to invite Jiang Yu to sit down, and at the same time added to the owner:
“Remember to order good wine!”

The shop owner heard this and looked at the two well-dressed people, and could only reply:
"Sir, we don't have any expensive wine here, only our own strong liquor."

Han Fei, who was already a drunkard, immediately became interested when he heard this:

"Strong liquor? How strong?"

"Taking a sip is like swallowing a knife down your throat."

The owner's description made Han Fei's eyes light up on the spot, but Han Fei noticed Jiang Yu beside him and remembered that he was not drinking alone.

So I asked Jiang Yu for his opinion:

"Brother Jiang, what do you think of this wine?"

"can!"

Jiang Yu, who had his inner strength to protect him, was naturally not afraid of this so-called strong liquor. After all, no matter how strong it was, it was not as strong as the fire liquor he made when he was in Qin.

After receiving confirmation, Han Fei immediately shouted:
"Okay, shopkeeper, bring me two large jars first. And if you have any good side dishes, bring them up as well!"

"Okay, right away!"

Upon hearing that such a big customer had arrived, the owner immediately served the two of them wine as quickly as possible and poured each of them a full bowl:

"Please wait a moment, my two guests. The food will be ready soon!"

"Come, Brother Jiang!"

Han Fei raised his bowl and said to Jiang Yu:

"This first cup is for Brother Jiang, thank you for saving my life."

After saying this, Han Fei raised his bowl and drank it all in one gulp, and Jiang Yu naturally drank a bowl with him.

“It’s really good wine!”

As soon as the wine entered his throat, Han Fei, who had been feeling uncomfortable all over, suddenly felt relaxed. He then instructed the owner who was serving the dishes:
"Shopkeeper, fill me two more pots so I can take them away later!"

"Okay, sir, enjoy your meal!"

The owner put down the dishes and went to work.

Han Fei refilled the wine for the two of them and said:
"Brother Jiang, I am Han Fei, a native of Xinzheng, Han. If you need any help in the future, please come to Xinzheng to find me."

"Oh, is it such a coincidence?"

Jiang Yu, who knew Han Fei's background, was extremely surprised and said:

"I've been traveling around the world, and now I'm planning to go to Xinzheng to broaden my horizons."

Of course, Jiang Yu had no other thoughts about Han Fei. Since they met by chance, he just wanted to get to know Han Fei out of the fun of lighting up the character cards of famous historical figures.

After all, even if Han Fei was a prince of the Kingdom of Han, not to mention that Han Fei had been away from the country for many years and did not have much power in the Kingdom of Han, not to mention that the Kingdom of Han had only a few years left, even if something was obtained from Han Fei, it would ultimately be nothing but a fantasy.

Just among the seven countries of South Korea, the weakest one, what Han Fei can give to Jiang Yu, Changping Jun can also give, and he can only give more. It just depends on whether Jiang Yu wants it or not.

To a certain extent, Jiang Yu's purpose in going to Xinzheng was actually contrary to Han Fei's.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that you and I are so destined to be together."

Han Fei, who knew nothing about everything, invited Jiang Yu when he heard that his destination was also Xinzheng:
"I have just returned from studying in Qi. Wouldn't it be a good opportunity for you and I to travel together?"

"It's fate, Jiang is also feeling bored traveling alone."

Jiang Yu, who was already bored, would naturally not refuse.

"Okay, okay, now that we've arrived in Xinzheng, I'll host a nice welcome for you. Come, have a drink."

Next, it was time for the two of them to drink and chat. Meanwhile, four sturdy, scoundrel-looking men arrived. The owner, as if familiar with them, treated them with the utmost humility. Even so, he still received a few beatings and scoldings.

With such a disturbing person around, and since it was getting late, Jiang Yu and Han Fei decided to set off.

"Shopkeeper, check out!"

Han Fei shouted without hesitation.

But when he touched his whole body under the waiter's gaze, he suddenly felt awkward and panicked.

Oh no, oh no, could it be that I lost my purse while struggling when I fell into the water?

Jiang Yu, who was standing by, saw Han Fei's predicament and could not help but say:
"Brother Han, let me do it!"

"No, no, no, how can I let Brother Jiang pay for it?"

Han Fei had already said he would treat them, and since Jiang Yu had just saved his life, how could he possibly agree? It was neither morally nor logically appropriate.

Han Fei finally fixed his gaze on himself. The only valuable thing he had was the necklace hanging around his neck.

This was a gift from his younger sister Honglian. If people knew that he used it to pay for alcohol, he wouldn't be able to explain it.

But in the current situation, there was no other way. Han Fei gritted his teeth, took off the necklace, and handed it to the owner. Although he felt reluctant, he said cheerfully:

"Use this to pay off the debt!"

"this?"

Looking at the priceless, exquisite and precious necklace in his hand, the owner couldn't help but be stunned.

The four men who came later were also stunned, their eyes wide open.

Han Fei couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he turned around and picked up the two jugs of wine he had been asked to pack earlier, and led the horse to prepare to set off.

"He was joking!"

Jiang Yu took the necklace back from the shop owner and exchanged it for a small piece of gold.

Judging from personal expenses alone, Jiang Yu is not short of money, because along the way, there are many boys who give him money.

For example, the carriage prepared by Wei Wuji contained not only a bronze box but also a large box of gold. As a great contributor to curing the plague, Meng Wu also gave Jiang Yu a large sum of money when he left. If Jiang Yu was willing to wait for the official reward from the Qin court, he would get even more.

Of course, it is also possible that what awaits you is Luo Wang’s assassination!

In addition, there is another type of person who most often gives money to Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu glanced at the four people at the neighboring table without leaving a trace, then put away the necklace, mounted his horse, and hurried on with Han Fei.

"Damn it, that guy took the necklace back."

The four men looked at Jiang Yu who took back the necklace and couldn't help but curse inwardly. If it was in the hands of the shop owner, it would be a piece of cake for them to snatch it away.

The four of them looked at each other greedily, and their gazes turned from the shop owner to Jiang Yu.

"But putting aside the necklace, this guy can easily pull out gold. He's an unprecedented fat sheep."

"As long as we finish this job, you and I, four brothers, won't have to worry about our future."

"It's just a rich kid who can't lift anything with his hands. It's not that difficult."

The three of them looked at their boss.

A fierce look flashed in the latter's eyes, and he uttered a word:

"Dry!"

Immediately, the four of them set off and surrounded Jiang Yu and Han Fei at the fastest speed.

Seeing the four people leaving in a hurry without paying, the shop owner was actually quite happy, because if it were in the past, those four people would not be able to pay the bill, and they would not even be able to keep the gold in his hand.
