Nanqiong Tavern in the capital city is an elegant place. From the octogenarians to the youngest children, everyone loves to come here in their free time to recite poems, comment on articles, or discuss major events in the world. It is a concentration camp for scholars and talents.
The scholars are so pedantic, and they often criticize people or things they don't like with eloquence. However, because there are a group of prestigious old gentlemen sitting in the museum, many wealthy officials in Beijing are helpless.
The main backer of Nanqiong Tavern is Cao Zhikui, the emperor's teacher of Emperor Kang Yuan. He is a hundred and two years old now.
(Nanqiong Tavern) In the private room on the second floor, Bai Qi was lazily reclining on the armchair, holding a string of health-enhancing medicinal jade in his hand, and the wine was warmed on the table, sitting opposite Feng Yuming, the fifth prince of Xuanluo Kingdom.
It was purely a coincidence that he met Feng Yuming. Although Bai Qi wanted to get the snow-spotted white amber, his plan was to send some hidden guards to steal it or steal it openly.
Today, Bai Qi went out and was attracted by the smell of wine when passing by Nanqiong Tavern. Feng Yuming came here specially to see the world-famous Nanqiong Tavern. If he was lucky, he would also like to visit the former emperor Cao Zhikui.
Feng Yuming drank the wine and smiled bitterly to himself. He could see Bai Qi's blatant covetousness towards the snow-spotted white amber jade. If he came to Nanqiu this trip and wanted to return to the country safely, he might not be able to keep the jade.
A group of young people in the museum were originally talking about an article, but with the continuous drinking of wine, their faces became drunk one after another, and the topic of the article changed to the current situation in the world.
Several young people were flushed, eloquent, and passionate. Their expressions of concern for the country and the people attracted all the talents in the museum to respond one after another.
"Tch!" Bai Qi snorted, he was a scholar, and what the book said was really good.
Bai Qi didn't restrain his contempt. A young man next door was startled when he heard his snort, then got up and clasped his hands through the bamboo curtain, "Brother, do you have a different opinion?"
"It's ridiculous to talk about war on paper, to feel sorry for yourself." Bai Qi sarcastically.
Bai Qi's words offended everyone in the museum, Feng Yuming was dumbfounded, this hatred is too arrogant, isn't it?
"I don't know where Xiongtai's teacher is from? If you are dissatisfied with Xiaosheng's remarks, you can come forward and argue with Xiaosheng." The young man on the first floor of the museum said aggressively.
Bai Qi still coiled the medicine jade, and even leaned on the chair pillow without changing his lazy posture, "It's useless for you to ridicule the courtiers, and let other countries bully you without resisting, but have you ever thought that once a war starts, the people of Nanqiu will be how?"
"But if you blindly show weakness, the country will not become a country, and the king will not become a king. What is the prestige of Nanqiu?"
"Looking at the situation in the world, Nanqiu is now in the center of the storm. If all countries form an alliance to attack it, what is the solution?"
"We would rather live a dignified life than bow down and live as slaves and servants!"
"Heh!" Bai Qi's words were even more ironic, "There are tens of millions of people in Nanqiu. There are old people with sacks on their backs and babies in swaddling clothes. You are brave and upright, and you are not afraid of life and death, but have you ever thought about them?"
"If it weren't for the stupid and ignorant courtiers you say to protect the peace of the country, you can talk about it here without shame? When the country is broken and you are reduced to subjugated slaves, who cares about your life and death?"
"Although it is undeniable that there have been endless mediocre officials throughout the history, there are also good officials who are honest and upright. How can we beat them all to death?"
Feng Yuming looked at Bai Qi, who was sharp-tongued and impassioned to fight against the Confucians, the surprise and dullness in his eyes were gradually replaced by appreciation and amazement. At this moment, Bai Qi was shining in his eyes.
"Which of the young people who have just entered the imperial court is not full of ambition? It's just that as time goes by, they are distracted by temptation and their minds are confused." These are the original words that Yuanshen once said.
"Nanqiu is only humiliated today. It is still unknown who will soar into the sky and who will fall into the quagmire in the future." This is Bai Qi's promise
In an elegant room on the third floor of Nanqiong Tavern, Cao Zhikui, the former emperor's teacher, listened to the fierce debate outside and was lost in thought. The tea in his cup had already cooled down in his hand but he never drank it.
"Who is he?" Cao Zhikui asked aloud.
"Regent, Wen Renqian." Prime Minister Duan Qi replied respectfully.
'Wen Renqian. ¡¯ Cao Zhikui pondered over the name repeatedly, "It's different from the rumors. I met him before the late emperor expelled him from Beijing. At that time"
Not only Cao Zhikui was surprised, but Duan Qi was also surprised by Bai Qi's protection of the officials in the DPRK and China, and under his surprise was an unspeakable warmth.
"It's hard to be a scholar,Bai Qi took two steps forward, pinching his chin with one hand, "Confident that I won't kill you?"
Not confident, but he doesn't regret it, he has long wanted to let him see Liu Xian's true face, she is not worthy of his favor. Huo Yuan looked at Bai Qi silently, with a calm expression.
After a long time, Bai Qi let go of his hand and seemed to smile. He took out the little wolf dog made of clay and stuffed it into Huo Yuan's hand, "Take it and play."
"" Huo Yuan was stunned, this is it over?
Bai Qi glanced at the acacia trees in the garden, and his eyes finally fell on Huo Yuan, "Want to leave the palace?"
Huo Yuan ""
"What do you want to do after leaving the palace? Enter the rivers and lakes? Or follow in the footsteps of the Huo family and enter the barracks?"
"I" Huo Yuan's voice was hoarse and he was a little dazed, "It's been my childhood dream to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy." But after the accident happened in the Huo family, this dream was shattered. Since then, his heart has been towards Nanqiu and Wenren. There is only hatred left in the royal family.
"Then let's go." Bai Qi said, reaching out to the guard for a sword, "Bring the sword."
A sword was handed over to Bai Qi, before Huo Yuan recovered, Bai Qi turned around and swung it towards him. With a sound of 'stab', the clothes were cut, and a sword mark that looked bloody and terrifying, but did not hurt the inside appeared on Huo Yuan's body.
Huo Yuan covered his wound with one hand and took two steps back, looking at Bai Qi in disbelief.
Bai Qi held the blood-dripping sword, his face under the backlight was so cold that it made people feel chilling, "Sin slave Huo Yuan was caught and raped by this king on the spot for having sex with the concubine in the backyard of the palace. This king was furious and immediately beheaded him. "

"Huo Yuan is dead, and there will be no fourth master Huo in the world!" (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
