The old man wanted to scold his mother in his heart. With his cultivation, he had not said a curse word for many years, but now he wanted to use a curse word. Is this a problem?
The old man stopped asking the third question because he knew that Mr. Li and the others would definitely not be able to answer the third question.
Because these questions are so deceptive. Not to mention Mr. Li, even the greatest Confucian scholar in the entire Qin Kingdom may not be able to answer them.
Wang Quan lowered his head and remained silent. He was unable to get the wine. No matter what the reason was, if the mission failed, it was a failure.
"Is there no way to accommodate him?" the old man looked at Wang Quan and asked.
"No."
Wang Quan shook his head. He knew what his master was talking about, and he did the same later, even offering a price of a thousand taels of gold.
With one thousand taels of gold, you can buy a nice house even in the capital city. As for the small Guyan City, you can even become the richest man with one thousand taels of gold.
You know, when Wang Quan offered this price, he was trembling in his heart. If the master had not issued a death order and had to bring back the wine, he would not have offered such a price.
However, what Wang Quan didn't expect was that when facing the price of a thousand taels of gold he offered, Hu Erhua looked at him with contempt, and then closed the wine shop directly.
was rejected.
Wang Quan was stunned for more than ten seconds before he realized that someone actually refused the offer of a thousand taels of gold in exchange for a jug of wine.
At that moment, Wang Quan wondered if he was dreaming. He didn't wake up completely until he stared at the door panel of the wine shop for a long time and confirmed that the wine shop was really closed.
Money was not enough. Wang Quan had never thought of using force. It was just a jug of wine. He didn't believe that he could not get a jug of wine when he waited for others to go in. However, thinking of his master's explanation, Wang Quan gave up in the end.
"Why, didn't you bring the wine? Then I'll leave."
After listening to Wang Quan and the old man's words, the scholar man smiled, stood up from his position, and was about to leave.
However, as soon as the scholar man took a step, the city lord stopped him in front of the scholar man, "Storyteller, don't push yourself too far, Wang... Butler Wang will ask you to tell the story to give you face, as long as you tell the story you originally told.
If I say it again, I will declare you prosperity and wealth from now on."
"Glory and wealth are nothing but the passing clouds. Fame, wealth and status have nothing to do with me. I only love a pot of wine."
The scholar smiled, bypassed the city lord, and walked towards the door.
The few soldiers guarding the door were about to stop him when they saw this, but when they saw the look in the old man's hand, they finally let him go.
The scholar man left, and now the old man, the city lord, and the king were left in the hall.
"Your Highness, why don't you reveal your identity to this arrogant scholar? I believe that as long as Your Majesty reveals your identity, this scholar will never dare to show off in front of Your Majesty."
The city lord spoke, and the city lord's words also revealed the identity of the old man. He was not a steward, but a prince, the younger brother of the current emperor, and the general in charge of the world's troops, Qin Guang.
It is said that the royal family has no family ties, but the royal family of this generation is exactly the opposite. The current emperor loves his younger brother very much and trusts him very much, letting him take charge of the world's troops.
"You can't use force on such a stranger."
Qin Guang shook his head. He thought that he knew countless people, but he couldn't see through this scholar. The other party seemed to know his identity, and the meaningful look in his eyes already explained it.
The other party saw his identity, but was still indifferent. What did this mean? It showed that the other party might not really take his power and position into consideration.
Qin Guang remembered the scholar's last words, glory and wealth are nothing but the passing clouds; fame and status have nothing to do with me.
After a long time, Qin Guang spoke again, "You have three monsters in Guyan City. This scholar and Hu Erhua are two of them. There should be some connection between the two. So what is the origin of the remaining fisherman?
"
"Not much is known about this angler, Xianguan. I just heard that this person has been sitting by the river fishing for many years, and he will never stop fishing regardless of wind or rain. And the strangest thing is that after so many years, this person has never stopped fishing.
Not even a single fish was caught." The city lord replied.
"Not a single fish was caught?" Wang Quan opened his mouth in surprise. What kind of bad luck and underground fishing skills were required to achieve this?
"How long has this person been fishing here?" Qin Guang asked.
"This must have been ten years ago. When the official was transferred here, his reputation had already spread far and wide in the town." The city lord thought for a moment and replied.
"Then where does he live?"
"I don't know about this official. It seems I haven't heard anyone say it. Everyone only knows that this angler goes to the river to fish every day. I really don't know where he lives."
Qin Guang was silent. After a while, he said, "Let's go to the river."
Qin Guang made this decision, but it surprised Wang Quan, because he knew the purpose of the prince's visit to Guyan City this time, and although the fisherman's behavior sounded strange, it was not related to the purpose of the prince's visit this time.
But it doesn't matter at all.
"Sometimes, there seems to be no connection, but in fact there is a connection. At least, since they can be called the Three Monsters of Guyan City, this is already a connection."
Qin Guang looked at Wang Quan, explained something, and then walked towards the door. He wanted to see how weird the fishermen in Guyan City were.
When Wang Quan and the city lord saw this, they had no choice but to follow them quickly.
Outside Guyan City, the sun is shining brightly at the moment, and a green willow forest outside Guyan City has become a place for many people to escape the summer heat. Children play and chase here, while the elderly sit and talk about something.
However, the most eye-catching thing is the end of the green willows, near the river. At this moment, there is a young man sitting there quietly fishing.
Around the man, there were many teenagers and young men who were also fishing. Every time these teenagers caught a fish, they couldn't help but glance at the young man.
There was even a naughty person who shouted to the young man: "Angler, I caught another fish, do you want one for you?"
But every time these teenagers spoke, the young man just smiled and did not answer.
The teenagers are obviously used to this kind of situation. It would be strange if the angler would pay attention to them. They have not seen the angler speak for so many years. Many people think that the angler must be mute.
However, just as the teenagers were laughing, a group of people were walking quickly towards this side, and it was Qin Guang's group.
At the same time, a sharp-eyed young man suddenly shouted: "The fisherman's fish floated and sank."
This shout suddenly made everyone in the Green Willow Forest who heard the sound run towards this side. The fishermen's fish floated and sank. This was the first time in so many years.
Are anglers finally about to break the ten-year curse of not catching fish? (To be continued)
