Chapter 15: Divide and strike, the businessman's plan (4)

"What's the topic?" Before the enthusiasm was over, everyone became a little anxious.

"The second question is: From these three pots of wine, identify the 'Qiu Lu Bai' in the second round."

"Are there any rules?"

"The first one cannot be tasted, the second one can only be smelled and viewed."

During the conversation, no one paid attention to the entourage who was preparing the wine and changed the original order.

"Hehe... let me give it a try." As soon as the old man finished speaking, he stepped forward and picked up the bottle of wine on the far left, opened the lid, and took a sniff.

The old man looked intoxicated and said: "This pot is the 'monkey's brew', and the flavor of mixed flowers and fruits is still there. If the old man guessed correctly, this pot was 'brewed' by the monkey just now, so the little brother got it."

Alright."

"The old man is very knowledgeable, that's true." Yin Qin replied with a smile.

"Hiss, Hou Er Niang, this young businessman is so powerful, he took it out so easily." Everyone was shocked again.

The old man walked up to the second pot, gently opened the lid, waved his hand, and brought the tip of his nose to sniff. The old man who was about to take another sniff suddenly froze in place.

"Old man, what's wrong?" Yin Qin saw that the old man had not made any movement for a long time, and even saw the old man making faint movements to drink a pot on the spot, so he hurriedly asked out loud. He thought to himself: Master, you will not deceive me.

The old man turned to look at Yin Qin, and smiled awkwardly. He walked absentmindedly to the next pot and said bluntly: "This pot is 'Qiu Lu Bai', and it has a fragrant smell." The old man told the answer, and it turned out to be no more.

There was a sense of perfunctoryness in Hou'er's excitement during the brewing. The audience was noisy.

The old man no longer participated in the ring. After turning around, he got off the stage and stood in the crowd, quietly looking at the stage. He seemed silent, but in fact his thoughts were far away.

Occasionally, I can still hear, "Let me try..."

"This young master is really a hero in wine, Yin admires him..." The mixed words made the old man's heart become confused.

"Old man...Old man" Hey, who is talking, as if in his ear, the old man gradually 'wakes up'. A young and delicate face appears in the young man, oh, it is that attentive one, he turns his head away again, the stage has been removed

Most of the fight is over. I stretched my limbs for a while, but they seemed to be less flexible.

"Haha, little friend, what else can you do?" the old man asked with a smile.

"Old man, it's convenient. Young man Yin, there is indeed something important." Yin Qin bowed and said with a smile.

Wangyue Tower

In a side room facing the lake in Wangyue Building, there is something mysterious about the coming and going of an old man and a young man.

"Little friend, where did you come from?"

"Old man, Mr. Yin came from the west."

"Xibian, what happened?"

"Old man, why don't you make a guess?" Yin Qin smiled with sly eyes.

"I'm old. I don't know what the younger generation thinks." The old man waved his hand as if he was not interested.

"The old man is so humble. Mr. Yin is here to give you a gift."

"It's really flattering to go to a foreign country and travel thousands of miles just to give gifts to me."

"Old man, guess what gift it is?"

"Hehe...I've seen it before, right?" The old man became a little distracted.

"Old man, you are really good. Mr. Yin took away all the storage in the house, and today it all belongs to you." Yin Qin applauded.

"As the saying goes, when you treat others with courtesy, you must ask for something. What do you ask for when you come here this time?"

"For the people, for the country, and for the elderly." Speaking of the diligence here, he stood up and bowed solemnly to the old man.

"Oh, I am so old, how can I bear the responsibility?" The old man said as if he was an old man and could not bear the responsibility, but he did not get up, and he had received the gift of hospitality in his life.

"If Mr. Xiang, the former prime minister of Chu State, is not capable, then who can?" Yin Qin affirmed.

It turns out that the old man in front of me is Xiang Hui, the world-famous prime minister of Chu State. Xiang Hui, who was over seventy years old, had retired from office three years ago and lived in seclusion in Lanling. This fact is still widely circulated today. Of course, he is the most widely praised.

It is Mr. Xiang’s prodigy grandson Xiang Lingyun...

"Little friend, how did you get to know me without fear of recognizing the wrong person?" Old Xiang Hui asked thoughtfully.

"A few years ago, when I was doing business, I went to Yingdu, the capital of the Chu Kingdom. I was lucky enough to meet him from a distance. At that time, my lord was accompanying the old King of Chu and enjoying himself with the people."

Xiang Hui did not try to argue whether it was true or false, and asked in a somewhat acknowledgment manner: "You are a former prime minister, but now you are just an old man. How can I help you?"

"Mr. Xiang, there is no need to belittle yourself. Even though you have served as an official, you are still the mainstay of Chu State. I am here to inform you that the new King of Chu has gone to Wei State to participate in the alliance. Sir, have you ever known about this important matter?

"

"Well~ I've heard a little bit about this... but what's wrong?" Xiang Hui nodded.

"The King of Chu wants to form an alliance with the six kingdoms and join forces to fight."

"Which country do you want to conquer?" Xiang Hui said with a solemn expression.

"Qin State."

"Is this serious?" Xiang Hui suddenly stood up and asked.

"The little clause is true and not false. Sir, you can check it out. King Chu returns to his country and may go on an expedition soon." Yin Qin lowered his head and said.

Xiang Hui's heart skipped a beat: The new King of Chu is really confused. There is no difference between Qin and Chu, so why is this so? Moreover, Chu's strength is insufficient, the soldiers are not strong, and the horses are weak. Isn't this just using the country to make a wedding dress for others?

.It’s so stupid that it’s so helpless.

"I already know about this and will go check it out. But who are you?" The elderly Xiang Hui asked Yin Qin with his eyes staring straight at him.

The sweat on the latter's back stained a large pattern. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and thought to himself: The fierce look in his eyes is worthy of being the famous Xiang Hui all over the world. The aura of majesty that an ordinary person would have long ago.

He fell to the ground. Fortunately, he was prepared before leaving.

"Sir, this is the boy's document. Please take a look." After saying that, he took out a book wrapped in black cloth from his arms.

Xiang Hui took it, and at the first word that caught his eye, his breathing seemed a little heavier. He didn't even pause for a moment, and fell silent after reading it. The only sound left was the rhythmic tapping sound of the food in his right hand on the table. Yin Qin did not step forward to break Xiang Hui's words.

Hui's thoughts stood quietly aside.

After a cup of tea, Xiang Hui slammed the table and shouted: "Okay, as expected, there are talents in the country. I only heard about their colors before, but I didn't expect to be such a talented person. It's a pity..." The unfinished words, with a few words,

Part regret, part longing.

"Young man Yin, I will come here to help you. Such a great talent should not have fallen like this." He said in his heart: Such a person is rare in a hundred years. It is better to make friends than to enmity. Looking at the hospitality in front of me, and then looking at myself,

Xiang Hui is really a little uncomfortable. Although he has a grandson who is a prodigy, but... let’s not mention it.

Xiang Hui, who had promised, was about to get up and leave. He reminded me diligently: "Sir, this is a gift from me. This thing is indeed from my family. Don't forget to take it with you..."

"You kid, that's all. Take it away..."

"Here" the leader of the entourage responded.
