The King of the Warring States Era - C58
The next day, the sun shone brightly through the windows, shining brightly on the floor of the room.
Chen Ling hugged Yi’er to sleep soundly, this was the first time he was sleeping with a woman back in the ancient times. After struggling for a few months and enduring life and death situations, he finally had the chance to sleep late, and it was to add fuel to the fire.
In fact, in some remote areas of the dukedoms, there were even primitive tribes and slave societies. The status of women in the entire Central Plains was like goods, they could be traded or exchanged, given away, and there were even a few males in each family. They would only marry one woman, and would serve each other as servants.
After breakfast, Chen Ling summoned Teng Hu, Shen Zheng, Fan Fan, Jing Yan and the others. They took off their armor and changed into samurai s, then went to the front yard to hang up a signboard.
Chen Ling brought the ten Generals out of the house. As he walked along the Daliang City street, he suddenly felt that the sky was high and the seas vast, and everything was relaxed and at ease.
“How was your sleep last night?” Chen Ling asked with concern.
Teng Hu took the lead and said: “There’s meat and wine, we’ve all drunk. This Hou Mansion is truly extravagant, but staying inside is simply too restricted.”
Shen Zheng asked: “According to the people from the Marquis Palace, Lieutenant Chen fought a swordsman under the crown prince’s command last night and obtained a complete victory. He defeated Jiang Guyuan, who has been in the limelight for the past few days, and performed a meritorious deed for the Young Master Wei.”
Chen Ling nodded his head: “That’s right, right now I am already trapped in the whirlpool of the Crown Prince and Young Master Wei, we are already standing on the side of the Young Master Wei, in the future we cannot be careless, and can teach others how to take care of things, in a while, Fan Fan will bring a few people and go out of the city to inform Chao Gai, and we will wait outside the city, today there will be a king coming down to reward the three armies, then we will return to the east side of the river as the front lines.”
Chen Ling shook his head: “I am also waiting for your orders, but I have a feeling that this time I will most likely be left behind in Daliang City. At that time, I might even want to keep you guys as my personal guards and not return to the Hedong Battlefield.”
“We are all willing to follow the Lieutenant Chen, Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild, and definitely will not retreat!” Teng Hu and the others expressed their wishes in unison.
Chen Ling nodded slightly as he sighed in his heart. He was not fighting alone, at least he had his brothers in the battlefield.
As a country belonging to the Wei Kingdom, the Daliang City was also a core of the Central Plains civilization. As long as 30 years ago, it had become one of the biggest cities in the Central Plains. There was also the most civilized city in the world, the Wei City.
The palace was located on the north side, facing directly towards the south. Right in front of the palace was the residence of the royal family, as well as the officials and officials of the military and military personnel. Ahead of them were the residences of the commoners.
Chen Ling and the rest separated in the streets, leaving behind only Teng Hu, Shen Zheng and Jing Yan, the three brothers who were still following him. The four of them walked along the street, looking at the bustling streets, the pavilions and buildings, the aroma of wine wafting through the air, the numerous inns and shops, and the small shops on both sides of the street that were filled with all kinds of jade artifacts, lacquer, pottery, various types of food, cloth and other things.
Towards Chen Ling, this ancient scene made him exclaim continuously, as if he was filming an ancient drama, everything seemed too surreal.
Lieutenant Chen, I heard that there is a Qingxi Jade Workshop in Daliang City, and it is renowned throughout the world. Not only is the wine brewed there like Qingxi Jade Dew, but there are also hundreds of families fighting for it, and in the past, they used to be called the ‘Dongxiang Chun’ in An Yi City of Wei Country. After the Daliang City moved to the capital, the An Xiang City was attacked several times by the Qin Army, and this Dongxiu Chun is also known as the ‘Qingxi Jade Workshop’. Shen Zheng’s ancestors were from the Song Nation, and their ancestors were generals of the Song Nation. Because of the internal strife and conflict, their entire clan was demoted to slaves and sold to the State of Wei. Back then, they had studied in private schools for a few years, so they seemed to have some understanding of the Daliang City, unlike Teng Hu, who did not know anything.
Chen Ling thought that right now, the most important thing for him to do was to understand the situation of the other nations. It would be convenient for him to combine his knowledge of history and accurately judge the current situation. In the future, one of the advantages of his survival in the ancient times was that he knew the history and direction of history. If he deviated too much from it, then knowing that history was inaccurate would instead tempt him and lead him to a desperate situation where he made a serious mistake in his decision-making.
One could not blindly believe in history. After all, the history book was written by a certain author. It was mixed with his personal factors and preferences, and due to the difficulty of obtaining evidence objectively, many of the historical details were tampered with or even written incorrectly.
For example, in the history books, a historical figure sometimes appears for a few periods of time, with a difference of a hundred years, mixed and confused, not just in an event, but in a person whose subject is completely different, even in an emperor, and who is described in different history books for different reasons, some are brothers, some are brothers, so the historians have mentioned that it would be good if history books and real history coincide at sixty percent.
“Let’s go, we’ll go to [Clear Stream Jade Workshop] and listen to the Bai Clan’s scholars debate this war of words!” Chen Ling’s curiosity was piqued, and he agreed to go to the jade farm where the dragons and snakes were mixed together.
As long as there were two or three people in the vicinity, there would be secrets of the palace flowing through their mouths. If there were places like Jiu Sai Chun Restaurant or Teashop, where the people of the city flowed like a crowd of famous people, it would be even more so when they were talking loudly, competing to release their insights into the most important matters of the kingdom; if there were words that shocked the people of the four places, it would garner a great deal of admiration from everyone. If a person has this kind of high opinion over and over again, this person will become the famous person of elegant place, the price suddenly increases greatly. This kind of political scholar was not something that could be created in any ordinary place. Rather, it had to be a place of great elegance that was jointly recognized by Daliangjing and the upper echelons.
This small street did not have too many private houses or shops, only more than thirty large and small dukedoms. In addition to these, there were many mansions with tree-lined houses, luxurious clothing for the pedestrians, luxurious clothing for the pedestrians, and the extravagant and opulent atmosphere exuded by the pavilion. There was a courtyard with lush green trees, flowing water, and a two-story wooden building with twelve floors, which was the famous Pure Jade Creek Plaza.
The one who constructed the [Clear Stream Jade Workshop] was none other than the current Patriarch of the Lady Bai, Bai Ruoxi. Its previous self, [Aromatic Spring], was personally created by Bai Ruoxi’s ancestor, the. In the serene courtyard restaurant, there were exquisite utensils, precious delicacies, the renowned and expensive wine from other countries, and the elegant and beautiful maids. Every single one of them was an exquisite item that was hard to find in the world, and for a time, the famous officials and officials were actually focusing their attention on it.
Back in the days, Li Li Li would often argue with famous people about the advantages and disadvantages of changing tactics in the Cave Fragrance Spring, and Chief General Wu Qi had also discussed military matters in the Cave Fragrance Spring many times. There were also King Zhou, Grand Xia, Feng Zi, Meng Zi, the self-made family of Mo Zi, and Wei Guoqi, all of whom had amazed everyone with their words in the Cave Fragrance Spring, and had drifted away.
Bai Ruoxi was a beauty with both literary and martial skills, and was ranked amongst the top ten most popular girls in the Battle Nation. This made [Clear Stream Jade Workshop] even more popular. There was also a spacious and cozy debating hall, which was specifically used for guests to gather on major national affairs and attract the attention of all the famous scholars in the world.
However, Chen Ling didn’t know that his name and deeds had always been hotly discussed in Clear Stream Jade Workshop, and his name had spread far and wide.
