C14 Traveller

Wine was distilled. It was the same as white wine, or it could be said to be strong wine.

In the past, when Chu Jian drank until he was completely drunk, he was actually the most inferior rice wine. He used the sprouting grains to ferment and filtered them into fermented wine. It could be said to be fermented wine.

Those who had a higher tolerance to alcohol would not get drunk even if they drank a thousand cups.

Then he looked at Fann Tine, who was bragging on the side. There were several liters of wine in the wineskin, so he drank it like water.

If this was alcohol, he would probably be as drunk as a dead pig.

In the Wind Country, and even in the Wasteland Continent, the degree of alcohol was related to the method of brewing.

In Wind Country, wine was divided into three types: inferior to ten degrees; medium to ten degrees; and close to twenty degrees, which was said to be called toasts.

Wine was very expensive, and it was something that nobles loved to drink the most. Ordinary people could not afford to drink it, and even Chu Jian, as the deputy commander of the imperial guards, had a taste during the new year's festival.

"Looks like I can try brewing some wine when I have the chance."

This idea had been lingering in Chu Hai's mind since a long time ago, especially when Chu Jian was still alive.

He was very annoyed and wanted to struggle, especially when facing death today. He knew very well that death was not scary, but waiting for one to die was the most frightening thing.

… ….

The next day, the farmers' chickens broke the silence of the morning.

When the rooster announced the time, the cultivators took the opportunity to sit cross-legged and cultivate, making full use of every morning.

The farmers had already opened the windows and put on a coat to go out. They carried a bucket of urine in their hands, but when they looked at Chu Hai and the others again, they didn't pay much attention to it.

It was obvious that he was not surprised that he had stayed near his home while it was night time.

Smoke rose in the air. In this farmhouse, the man carried his hoe and was about to leave early in the morning, while the woman cooked breakfast at home. Two children in braids and open pants followed their father out unwillingly.

When the first ray of sunlight shone on the earth, the best time for cultivation was already close to nil.

Yan Yidao, who was the first to open his eyes, looked around and said: "Everyone pack up and get ready to go."

Helpless, they could only continue on their way, starving.

According to Yan Yidao, he had already sent someone to the nearest steamed bun shop to buy breakfast. As long as they hurry up, they should be able to catch up to eat something warm.

In the distance, Chun and Hsing came together until they were right in front of Chu Hai. Chun complained, "Your Highness, my neck hurts. I think I fell asleep. I didn't feel comfortable sleeping in the carriage last night."

Hsing, on the other hand, remained silent, quietly looking at Chu Hai. She wanted to be like an older sister taking care of this boy who was about the same size as her, but the result was always the opposite.

She had a faint misconception that even though His Highness didn't look that old, his actions and actions were too mature for her to handle.

Hsing thought to herself, "Your Highness is so steady and steady. Old Master is well aware of it, so he should be smiling from ear to ear."

Hsing had a sad expression on her face when she thought of Chu Jian. When she was six years old, her parents sold her out to earn a living. It was Chu Hai's mother who bought her.

All these years in the Chu Mansion, the Madam treated her like a daughter.

In the days that followed, Chu Jian often left for work. Once he returned, he took advantage of the alcohol to vent his anger on his young master, but he rarely targeted his servants. This made her feel very comfortable and sympathized with Chu Hai.

Every time she helped Chu Hai with the medicine, she would always cry from the heartache. She secretly blamed the family head for being too strict with Chu Hai.

Hsing couldn't bear to look back and prayed in her heart, "Please bless little master, please keep him safe for the rest of his life."

Looking at Chun and Hsing who were silent for a moment, Chu Hai squinted his eyes and turned to Chun, comforting her, "We're going out for a while. Look at the other girls, they've endured it just the same."

Chu Hai patted off the dust on his clothes as he pointed at Yan Muyun's carriage and comforted her.

Chun: "Tch, she's a cultivator. Hsing and I are ordinary people."

Twisting her sore neck, Chun obviously didn't want to be outdone by others.

Hsing, on the other hand, took the opportunity to tug on Chun's arm with the intention of persuading her to speak less.

Rubbing her hair in front of her forehead, Chun leaned close to Chu Hai and said, "Your Highness, that little girl is really handsome. In the future, if she becomes your daughter-in-law, do you not want Hsing and I anymore?"

Hsing, who was listening at the side, also pricked up her ears. She seemed to be very concerned about this issue as well.

Chu Hai rolled his eyes. He felt a headache coming on. This girl had been blindly thinking all day, so he couldn't be bothered to answer her.

With that, he placed his hands behind his back and turned around to find his own mount. He did not have the effort to waste on the maid.

From the capital to the Nanmo Province, they would cross the border of the Yi Prefecture Province and the Jin Prefecture Province, and finally arrive at their destination.

Naturally, they had to cross over many relay stations.

The Bai Qi Village was far away from the town and in a wonderful valley, it just so happened that its location was superior. The wide official road just happened to pass by, and because it was located at the edge of the capital, near the Yi Prefecture Province, the relay station was also famous for its luxurious location.

After a long journey, Yan Yidao finally arrived at the Bai Qi Village at noon. During his journey, there were many customers resting here, trying to avoid the scorching sun.

Out of the house, he had met many people. He made friends with a plate of peanuts, a pot of turbid wine, and a bowl of tea. It was enough to make an unacquainted customer look familiar.

In the great hall, more than ten people were gathered around a round table. They were all praising each other for their prosperity. After getting to know each other, they continued to chat about what they had seen and heard along the way, attracting quite a few people to listen at the side.

Chu Hai and the rest were among them.

"Have you heard? I just came over from the Beiyu Sheng, Coldwater Commandery, you guys didn't know! It's a mess over there now. "

Holding onto a jug of wine, a seemingly wealthy pharmacist attracted everyone's attention the moment he opened his mouth.

The medicine merchant continued: "I heard that Beiyu Sheng's Grand Coordinator was killed, and even the authority of the Beiyu Sheng's governor was taken away."

Grand Coordinator was like a governor, like a governor of the Beiyu Sheng, like a commander of the army, and had the authority to rule over a hundred thousand troops and horses.

The news of the pharmacist was like a bomb, stirring up waves of disbelief.

The horse dealer who was sitting at the same table was unhappy and he was a little doubtful, "Brother, are you speaking the truth? Look at my hundreds of horses, I'm preparing to go into business. "

The summer solstice was approaching, the beginning of autumn was approaching, and the people were gathering for the winter to hide. They needed a large amount of transportation tools, and their Beiyu Sheng was many plains, suitable for the transportation of horses.

Pharmacy: "How can that be false! Do you know Hong Rui? He was Crown Prince Xuan Ling's brother-in-law. When I was on my way to assassinate Grand Coordinator, I saw a lot of refugees fleeing in all directions. "

Hong Rui, the former Deputy Governor of Beiyu Sheng, was his younger sister's husband, the crown prince Xuan Ling. He also had a son, which caused the Hong family's status to rise, making them Xuan Ling's biggest supporters.

When Xuan Ling was still alive, he had already started forming cliques and factions. When Wu Tie died, Hong Rui, who was aware of the impending disaster, immediately made a decision and had Beiyu Sheng change owners, bestowing the title of King Beiyu directly.

In order to consolidate the city's defenses, many rich and reputable local people had been massacred. The money they had obtained was given to the soldiers, which was used as a large sum of money to keep them.

At the same time, he spent a lot of money to recruit many cultivators to protect him.

Medicine merchant: "A few days ago, I heard that the new commander, General Ruan Yue, had displayed great might and personally led 50,000 troops, killing all of the traitors within the borders of the Wind Country to the point that their armours were thrown to the ground. In the end, the fugitive traitors could only flee for their lives via Beiyu Sheng.

It was said that the fifty thousand troops led by Ruan Yue were the elites of Wind Country.

Red Blood Horse, the national treasure of Wind Country, was invented by the famous Alchemist Wasset 600 years ago.

The heavens are jealous of such a talented genius. Because he was unable to train and couldn't hold on for more than a hundred years, he has now been dead for hundreds of years.

He used a hybrid method, using Nanwu Beast Forest and artificial horses to get a new breed of Red Blood Horse.

By feeding special fodder, a fodder that had the violent bloodline of Demonic Beast mixed in, it changed its eating habits and became a omnivorous species.

The Red Blood Horse retained the power and speed of the Dragon Horses, and also inherited the docility of artificially taming horses, becoming the national treasure of the Wind Country in the end.

Each Red Blood Horse was worth thousands of gold, when they charged on the battlefield, it was as fast as thunder, their power was immense.

"What's this? My brother-in-law just returned from selling tea at the Barbarian Country. I heard that Eastern Border is completely sealed, and there are a total of six hundred thousand soldiers arriving at the city gates, he's claiming that he'll take revenge for Old Wind King and Simeon."

After grabbing a few peanuts, a well-dressed tea vendor with a pale face and no beard stirred up a thousand ripples.

Xuanji, Old Wind King, died in a strange manner. Rumor has it that it was caused by Xuan Jing and that there were endless wars between the kings. Barbarian King colluded with Martial King to seek revenge for Old Wind King, but they used this as an excuse to make a name for themselves.

The pharmacist interrupted, "I was wondering why the medicine was being sold so well recently. So it was the military who were secretly purchasing it. No wonder they were able to meet with reinforcements along the way. They were actually in the East Defense Army."

While they chatted, they also satisfied the confusion of others. Chu Hai then went upstairs, taking advantage of Yan Yidao's rest to return to his room to cultivate his external techniques. The most important thing was to seize the time to improve himself.

As for the current condition of his Wind Country, he didn't care at all.

Uncle Lian, the steward of Chu Hai, left the crowd somewhat uneasily. He did not know what news had caused him to fall into deep thought. In his eyes, there was an expression of worry.

In the room, Chu Hai took off his outer clothes. To put it bluntly, an external technique was to train the body and improve the strength of the moves. There were many cultivators in this world. Without a good teacher and a good friend, he could only practice the military boxing technique from his previous life.

Honestly speaking, he really wanted to shake off the title of "Prince" at the moment. He would rather be an ordinary person and find a paradise and be a mundane person who didn't care about worldly affairs.

The results were not satisfactory.

"Kaiyang County might be the turning point for me."

After training for a while, Chu Hai was covered in sweat. He had a clear goal in mind.

"Your Highness, the Yan Family Master is urging us to hurry over. Come down quickly."

Outside the door, Chun had gone off somewhere to buy snacks. Only Hsing was left to knock on the door to remind her.

After quickly taking a cold shower, Chu Hai followed Hsing downstairs. At a glance, Yan Yidao shouted to clear the way.

On the side, Fann Tine was carrying several wineskins. To him, there were only two things that mattered the most in life, women and wine.
