609 Want to snatch her away
Xiao Yuanshi put on an act.
He left the town with a face full of anger.
He also revealed a piece of news to the spies from the previous dynasty.
He suddenly found out that Ge Chunying had stolen the defensive deployment map.
Hence, he went back and made some arrangements.
The next morning, he led a group of people and quickly headed towards the border.
Those from the previous dynasty and Prince Jinâs people also found that Prince Yi was also with Xiao Yuanshi.
It meant that Xiao Yuanshi was really anxious and felt that the situation was serious.
He even told Prince Yi about it.
Even though they did not follow their original plan, Prince Jinâs people and those from the previous dynasty and the Ge Kingdom were quite satisfied.
The Ge Kingdom had also begun to arrange their troops, preparing for war.
They would tear open a hole at the border and invade.
Prince Jin and his people began to contact those from the previous dynasty more frequently.
Xiao Hanzheng, Shi Qingluo, and the others also noticed that there were many new faces in Northern City, and there were even a few caravans from the Ge Kingdom.
Another two days passed, and Shi Qingluoâs winery officially opened for business.
As soon as the shop was open, those in the queue would already bought all the wine that was to be sold today.
After the buffet that day, the good wine from Nanxi Winery had spread throughout Northern City.
Those who had already tasted it wanted to buy a few jars to drink, and those who had not tried it yet wanted to buy and try it.
Shi Qingluo had announced the opening time ahead of time, which was why there was already a long line of people when the shop opened.
At first, Shi Qingluo had planned to use hunger marketing because there was a limited supply of wine.
Only those who came early managed to buy the wine, and each person was limited to two jars.
Otherwise, the few people in front would have been able to buy it all.
At this time, there was an inn where a Ge Kingdom caravan was staying.
One of them was a middle-aged man with a big beard and a tall and sturdy body.
He was sitting and talking to a few other people.
It was obvious that he was the leader.
After a while, two men who were as tall as him walked in.
The two of them were each holding a jar of white wine and a jar of green bamboo leaves.
âMaster, weâve got the wine.â
âLet me try it,â the bearded man said with a smile.
He had previously heard that Shi Qingluo had brewed a type of white wine that was especially flavorful.
One of them handed over a jar of white wine. âMaster, this is white wine.â
The bearded man opened the wine jar, raised it, and took a big gulp.
He felt a fire burning in his chest, and his whole body felt warm.
His deep eyes lit up. âGood wine!â
He took two more sips before putting it down and saying, âGive me the other jar.â
The man handed the green bamboo leaf to him. âMaster, please!â
The bearded man took the wine and drank it directly from the wine jar.
âThis is not bad, but I still like that white wine. Itâs really strong.
âThis is the best wine Iâve ever had. If I drink a few sips every day during the winter, Iâll feel warm.
âShi Qingluo is truly amazing to be able to brew such a strong wine.â
He took a few more sips and said with a smile, âJust for the sake of the strong wine, I will get hold of her no matter what.â
âIt is Shi Qingluoâs honor that our master wants to get hold of her.â
âI wish you success in advance, master.â
If he could get hold of Shi Qingluo, she could brew this wine for them.
They also hoped that their master would succeed.
The two of them were so excited that they didnât notice that someone was following them into the inn and then sending the news back.
They also didnât realize that the waiter had stopped at the door for a while, secretly listening to their conversation, and then left quietly.
An hour later, Xiao Hanzheng received the news.
He saw that the news said that the person wanted to snatch his little wife, and his expression turned cold.
He then looked at his wife, who was sitting not far away, and his eyes suddenly became warm.
âThe North Prince of the Ge Kingdom likes the wine you brewed very much.
âHe even bragged that he would take you away.â
Shi Qingluo had some understanding of the Ge Kingdom.
...
In addition to the royal family, the Ge Kingdom also had the North and South Prince.
The tribes of these two kings were very strong, and they formed a tripartite balance with the royal family.
The North Prince was stronger than the South Prince, and he was also the God of War for the Ge Kingdom.
Shi Qingluo was not surprised that the North Prince would like the wine she brewed.
The Ge Kingdom was a tribe from the grasslands, so it was normal for them to prefer strong alcohol.
However, Shi Qingluo was speechless at the thought of snatching her back. The Ge Kingdom is really too much. They like the wine I brew and want to grab hold of me. Why donât they go to heaven? â
âThe North Prince is the most overbearing person in the Ge Kingdom,â Xiao Hanzheng sneered. âHeâs even more arrogant.
âWhoever he likes, he always takes them by force. He even got hold of the concubines of the Ge Kingdomâs emperor.
âIn the Ge Kingdom, itâs said that thereâs nothing he canât get, except for the throne.
âThere are also people who say that he didnât try to seize the throne not because he couldnât, but because he didnât like to manage a country. He preferred freedom.
âAlthough the imperial family is afraid of the North Prince, they still put him in important positions.â
...
He had fought with the North Prince in his previous life.
Therefore, he was able to recognize him the moment he entered the city, even though he had deliberately grown a big beard to hide his identity.
Shi Qingluo rolled his eyes and said, âThen Iâll let him fail here.â
It would not be that easy to catch her.
âDid the North Prince disguise himself as a merchant caravan and come to Northern City for the treasure?â she asked.
On the day Xiao Hanzhengâs scumbag father left Northern City, her young husband had sent spies to keep an eye on the city gates.
They would pay attention to any suspicious person who entered the city.
He suspected that there might be people from the Ge Kingdom coming for the treasure, and it seemed like he was right again.
Xiao Hanzheng nodded. âIâm sure theyâre here for the treasure.â
I just didnât expect the North Prince to come in person. Heâs really bold.â
âIsnât he afraid that Prince Jin will suddenly catch him?â Shi Qingluo asked with a smile.
Xiao Hanzheng sneered.
âHe must have prepared a backup plan. He may look reckless and arrogant, but heâs good at scheming. Heâs not the kind of brawny but simple-minded person.â
âThatâs for sure,â Shi Qingluo said.
âIf he had been only brawny and simple-minded, he wouldnât have become the God of War in the Ge Kingdom.â
In a war, no matter how strong an individualâs martial strength was, he might not be able to win the war.
After all, many ants could kill an elephant.
Being a war god meant that he had a high chance of winning.
Other than being good at attacking, he was also smart and knew tactics.
âThis time, you should work hard and keep him in Daliang.â
The Ge Kingdom had spent a lot of money in exchange for the young prince that her young husband and the others had captured.
Next time, they would let the Ge Kingdom exchange for their God of War, the North Prince.
âWeâre thinking of the same thing again,â Xiao Hanzheng said with a chuckle.
âAnd also, Ge Chunying escaped from the town and the coachman had a sudden death.â
Shi Qingluo raised an eyebrow. âDid Ge Chunying do this?â
Xiao Hanzheng shook his head. âNot that. The second princeâs men had given the coachman a slow-acting poison. He died from the poison suddenly.â
Shi Qingluo nodded. âI see.â
She was saying that Ge Chunyingâs hands had been crippled.
Now, she could only strenuously hold a spoon to eat.
She couldnât even hold a pair of chopsticks.
She didnât seem like she could deal with the coachman.
âShe wouldnât have gone to find Ge Chunru right?â she asked with a smile.
