The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

For Ji Wuye, it didn't matter what Fei Cuihu did, even if it was just like the old days when he competed with Jing Lunjun in wealth, causing Jing Lunjun, a member of the royal family, to lose his family and his life. As long as he could make money, he could protect Fei Cuihu.

Conversely, if the Jade Tiger cannot make money and loses its value, Ji Wuye will not keep it.

That being said, the fact that Jade Tiger had changed its style this time still piqued Ji Wuye's curiosity.

Later, through Jade Tiger's explanation, he learned that this strong liquor, so different from the alcoholic beverages of today, and this business model, all originated from a man from Xinling, who claimed to be a retainer of Lord Xinling.

Having received confirmation from Emerald Tiger, Ji Wuye couldn't help but say, "If this person truly possesses such talent, we might consider luring him into the night."

Upon hearing this, Jade Tiger's expression hardened, and he quickly said, "It is indeed a waste of such talent to keep him under my command. He should join Nightfall and serve the Great General."

"Hmph!" Ji Wuye showed approval, then said coldly, "But not everyone can join Nightfall."

"Although he said he was a retainer of Lord Xinling, Lord Xinling has been dead for almost two years, and his retainers have long since dispersed. No one can say for sure whether the other party is true or false."

"What does the Great General plan to do?" Emerald Tiger asked softly.

Ji Wuye said, "Find someone to test her strengths and weaknesses."

"If he really is a retainer of Lord Xinling, Lord Xinling is good at recognizing and using people, and he has many talented people under his patronage. Even I, the general, would value such a person highly."

Ji Wuye was not lying about this statement, even though Lord Xinling was from the state of Wei.

However, Lord Xinling once led a five-nation coalition to fight against Qin, and he was one of the participants. It's just that at that time, his status in the Han army was not as high as it is now.

Even so, he had still witnessed Lord Xinling's charm.

I was extremely envious.

But what Ji Wuye envied was not Lord Xinling's high spirits.

Rather, it was because he held absolute power and could command the five-nation coalition with a single order.

At the same time, Lord Xinling's fate served as a warning to him.

That is, one must do everything possible to hold onto the power in one's hands; otherwise, like Lord Xinling, one will lose military power because of an edict from the King of Wei, and then be left only to live in seclusion in Xinling in melancholy.

Ji Wuye did not want this outcome.

Lord Xinling's retainers were worthy of his respect.

In addition, Ji Wuye himself also liked to recruit retainers.

It can be said that everything he has today is thanks to his retainers.

Many years ago, the State of Han was invaded by the State of Chu, which was ten times its size. At this time, Ji Wuye suddenly appeared and volunteered, leading his retainers and a thousand Han soldiers to fight back against a hundred thousand Chu troops. In the battle, Ji Wuye was highly skilled in martial arts, had profound strategies, and was also very lucky. The Chu general suddenly died, and the Chu army was thrown into chaos for no apparent reason. Han finally won this battle that it could not possibly win. From then on, Ji Wuye became the God of War of Han.

In just a few years, he rose from an unknown guest to become the Great General of Korea, mainly relying on his secret organization "Nightfall." The core strength of Nightfall consisted of his seventy former retainers, and he later continuously absorbed extraordinary individuals from all over the world, developing it into the most powerful dark force in Korea.

……

With the help of the solution provided by Jiang Chuan.

Jade Tiger's wines are selling very well.

Even though the wine was very expensive, its reputation had already spread, and after being associated with a refined person like Lord Xinling, those who bought the wine felt that it was worth the price.

Some even spread rumors that while drinking, they experienced the feelings of Lord Xinling in the past, and couldn't help but feel a great deal of emotion for their country and its people.

That's pure nonsense.

They got drunk simply because of the high concentration of strong liquor.

But it is true that the drinks sold very well.

Lower-grade liquor is bought every day, while mid-grade liquor sells out as soon as it appears, and buyers can only wait for the next batch to be released.

As for the finest wines, they are not for drinking, but rather a symbol of status.

Only those who are truly powerful, influential, and wealthy can obtain purchase vouchers and thus buy the finest wines.

Such drinks are only brought out to show off when they hold private banquets.

Whether or not one is willing to drink it is another matter entirely.

In conclusion, although Xinling Drink has not been around for very long, its reputation is already extremely well-known in Korea.

Jade Tiger plans to first gradually capture the South Korean market before expanding to other countries.

Jiang Chuan ignored the matter of selling Xinling Yin later.

On this day, he arrived at Emerald Tiger's mansion.

Because Jade Tiger said that a friend wanted to see him.

Upon arriving at Jade Tiger's residence and stepping into the main hall, a middle-aged man stood beside Jade Tiger. Upon seeing Jiang Chuan's arrival, the middle-aged man suddenly spoke in a cold voice: "You are not a retainer of Lord Xinling at all."

"Oh?" Jiang Chuan looked at the middle-aged man with some surprise upon hearing this. "What do you mean by that?"

The middle-aged man said angrily, "Because I was also a retainer of Lord Xinling, and I never even saw you when I was under his patronage."

"Is that so?" Jiang Chuan remained completely calm, explaining, "Lord Xinling had many retainers; you might not even remember me."

“I don’t believe it,” the middle-aged man said confidently. “I’m known for my extensive knowledge and excellent memory. If I had met you, I would definitely recognize you.”

"Therefore, there is only one possibility: you are not a retainer of Lord Xinling at all."

An ordinary person would obviously reveal their flaws after hearing these words.

But Jiang Chuan did not.

Because he has the confidence.

Ru Shuang had investigated Lord Xinling in great detail in order to assassinate him, and had even been lying in wait by his side for a long time. Even if the person in front of her was really Lord Xinling's retainer, Jiang Chuan might not be a fake.

“You say I’m not a retainer of Lord Xinling? In my opinion, you’re the one who’s lying,” Jiang Chuan retorted, turning the tables on the man.

"Don't rush to refute me. If you're not convinced, let's talk about the old stories of Emperor Xinling!"

Chapter Thirty-Four: Time Flies Like Water

"General, after verification, that person is indeed a retainer of Lord Xinling."

Time flew by, and more than half a day had passed.

Inside the general's mansion, the middle-aged man who had previously refuted Jiang Chuan for not being a retainer of Lord Xinling had now come before Ji Wuye and was softly reporting to him.

"Oh?"

Ji Wuye was immediately surprised upon hearing the middle-aged man's words.

"In that case, that person is truly a talented individual."

Knowing how to do business is one thing, but the key is that he is a retainer of Lord Xinling. Ji Wuye doesn't know how much talent Jiang Chuan is hiding, but he is willing to trust Lord Xinling. Since Jiang Chuan is indeed a retainer of Lord Xinling, he must have some extraordinary abilities.

The names of Hou Ying and Zhu Hai from those years are still being sung about today.

Those were two valiant warriors who were renowned throughout the entire city of Daliang.

After Jiang Chuan's origins were determined.

Ji Wuye did not rush to bring Jiang Chuan into the night.

After all, Jiang Chuan has only been in Xinzheng for a short time, and there are some things he still needs to investigate.

Time flies.

Another month or so has passed.

Emerald Tiger's wine is selling better and better.

During this period, he made an unknown amount of money by selling high-proof liquor.

In particular, alcohol is a consumable product. In today's world, many powerful and wealthy people have the habit of drinking for pleasure. Although some people are not used to strong alcohol, others can easily accept it.

As the only high-proof liquor, Xinling Drink easily gained widespread recognition.

If initially the word spread thanks to Lord Xinling's reputation and a large-scale marketing event, now it's spreading purely through word of mouth.

Because he had made a lot of money, even Emerald Tiger's gaze towards Jiang Chuan became increasingly kind.

On this day, Emerald Tiger found Jiang Chuan.

“Mr. Jiang, it has been almost two months since you came here.”

"Yes." Jiang Chuan nodded. Time was indeed running out.

In the blink of an eye, he has been in Xinzheng for more than two months.

Jade Tiger said, "You were once a retainer of Lord Xinling, while I am but a mere merchant. It is somewhat of a waste for you to serve under me."

"Today, I'm taking you to meet a very important person."

"An important figure?" Jiang Chuan already knew the answer in his heart, but he still pretended to be confused.

Jade Tiger said, "Yes, a truly important person."

He explained to Jiang Chuan, "He is the strongest general in our Korea in the last hundred years, and he is also our Great General."

"General, could it be...?" Jiang Chuan's gaze shifted slightly as he looked at Emerald Tiger.

Jade Tiger laughed and said, "Yes, it is General Ji Wuye. In fact, I have always been working for the General. Otherwise, do you think I, as a merchant, could have gotten away with offending so many powerful people?"

"All of this is thanks to the protection of the Great General."
