Chapter 8 Can’t live without you

There is no moon tonight, but Liu Bang can see it clearly.

The West Lake is filled with boats, large and small and of different shapes. Roughly counting, there are hundreds of them.

On the shore, there were more stalls selling various kinds of food and goods than he had seen in the city; there was an endless stream of people coming and going, and all kinds of noises could be heard.

How does this look like a country that has lost a war?

Where is the country that seems to have lost half of its country and is nestled in the south of the Huaihe River?

Even in Xianyang in the past and Chang'an later, Liu Bang had never seen this kind of... the appearance of the prosperous age, yes, the appearance of the prosperous age!

He suspected that he had misheard Qin Hui's words and misread the map marked with cinnabar.

Seeing this man's demented appearance, Ji Wu felt very proud:

"Foreigners, you are so blessed! I was still young during the Jingkang Campaign and had never been to Bianjing, but there must be no other prosperous place like Lin'an Mansion in the world. Now you

When a disaster approaches, it’s not a loss if you can gain some insights when it comes.”

Hearing him talk about Bianjing, Lao Wangtou said disdainfully: "You ignorant coward! You are no better than this husband!"

He turned around and said to Liu Bang: "Now that we're here, don't waste time. Mr. Qin Liu will come over to trouble you who knows when. You should find more happiness as soon as possible."

"You mean, Bianjing is more lively than here?"

"It's more than just fun!"

Lao Wangtou led the way. When Liu Bang saw that the young monk no longer struggled, he put him down and relieved some of the burden on his shoulders. However, he still held his wrist firmly, fearing that he would take the opportunity to run away.

"Only the West Lake area in Lin'an has slightly more people, but in Bianjing, among the morning market, day market, night market, four markets in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and three markets on Chinese Valentine's Day, Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year's Eve, which market has a market better than here."

The four of them walked along and stopped at a bank.

Lao Wangtou waved not far away, and a small boat rowed over.

"If you come across a Buddhist ceremony at Daxiangguo Temple, you won't even be able to find a place to stand on the street!"

Liu Bang was thoughtful, and Ji Wu asked: "Then if I went out on the street at that time, wouldn't I be able to meet the young ladies face to face and mouth to mouth?"

This man's angle was so tricky that Liu Bang himself didn't even think of going there. Lao Wangtou laughed and scolded: "You little Silver Spear Wax Head, what's the point of facing each other!"

Liu Bang scolded: "There is a little Kun here! You two should speak more cleanly!"

After saying this, he covered Daoji's ears with his hands, and then laughed obscenely with the two of them.

When the boat arrived at the shore, Lao Wang said: "There are three people in Sibeilou's boat."

The man on the boat took a quick glance and said, "There are clearly four of them."

"This baby doesn't have all his fur, why do you want to include him?"

"If you want to take a boat, then you have to calculate it."

After some haggling, the two of them each took a step back and gave Daoji half the price.

After boarding the boat, the man headed towards the big ship farther in the lake, climbed up the ladder along the side of the big ship, and Lao Wangtou threw him a dozen copper plates and told him:

“When I go back, the price is still the same.”

The man didn't answer. After counting the numbers, he rowed away again.

After getting on the boat, Lao Wang looked like a different person. He no longer had the stingy attitude before and shouted loudly:

"Wang Xiaoer! Your father is here!"

A young man wearing a felt hat ran out of the cabin, looked at several people, and finally complained:

"Dad! Why are you here again? We can't get credit here anymore."

Lao Wang slapped him on the face:

"I was almost dead just now! Thanks to this husband! You are such a bitch, but you are arguing with me about money here! Hurry up and set a table, and thank your life-saving benefactor early!"

Wang Xiaoer covered his face, bowed to Liu Bang, and ran back to the cabin.

After a while, she came out looking like a gorgeous woman.

"Gentlemen, please come in."

Old Wangtou laughed wildly and slapped the woman on the butt. The clear sound was somewhat similar to the slap he had just slapped himself.

After entering, the group of people were led to the box on the left and took their seats. The woman asked:

"Do you guys want to listen to music, or do you want to find someone to talk to?"

"Listen to this nonsense! Hurry up and put the dishes on the table, and then call the girl who is talking..." After a pause, Lao Wangtou said again, "Look carefully, there are only three of us, and that is a young master.

"

The woman responded and went out. Lao Wangtou and Ji Wu took off their armor and cursed:

"These prostitutes have to act serious every time they come here, and in the end that's all they do!"

Liu Bang had long understood the true meaning of this meal, but he only got up from bed in the evening. At this time, he was still in sage mode and was not very interested.

Tonight was the first time he had contact with this country, but it gave him a lot of questions.

"By the way..."

Someone had already started serving the food, and Liu Bang poured wine for the two of them. Seeing that Daoji had started to close his eyes since he came in, he felt a little funny and poured a glass for the young monk.

"Since you two are the guards of a city gate, you should be on duty to guard the gate for the emperor. Why are you so afraid of the steward of the Qin Mansion?"

Seeing him asking about this again, Ji Wu and Lao Wangtou were both a little silent.

It was Lao Wang who said: "Speaking of this, my husband, do you really not know or are you just trying to make fun of us? If you say you are insane, you will be able to speak and answer clearly, but if you say you are normal, you ask questions like this

.”

After drinking a glass of water and wine, Lao Wang's head and face immediately turned red, and he continued:

"Marshal Han and Marshal Yue have been recalled to Beijing. Do you know about this?"

Liu Bang nodded: "I have indeed heard about it."

"That's it! This battle must be unwinnable. What should we do if we can't go on?"

"Peace negotiation."

"It's a peace negotiation! If we want a peace negotiation, then won't the Zhao family be even more inseparable from Prime Minister Qin? Will everyone in the government and the public be able to listen to Prime Minister Qin in the future?"

"Huh?" Liu Bang was very puzzled, "If we make peace, we will make peace. Why can't we do without Prime Minister Qin?"

Ji Wuchang sighed and said, "I have heard about this. In the past, when the Prime Minister of Qin accompanied Hui and Emperor Qin to the north, he won the trust of Nianhan and Talan. Now that the Wanyan Wushu of the Jin Kingdom has gained power, this thief

Although I am still determined to destroy the Song Dynasty, it is still very good to have good relations with the Prime Minister of Qin... It is said that the Jin Kingdom wants to negotiate peace this time because it is because of the face of the Prime Minister of Qin."

"So," Liu Bang raised his glass and paused, "it's really inseparable."

"Prime Minister Qin is already powerful, and now the Zhao Guan family needs him urgently. As the saying goes, 'When one person achieves enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.' Not to mention that we can't afford to offend Mr. Qin Liu, there are so many people in Lin'an Mansion who want to please others!"

"So, my husband, please just enjoy yourself for a while and don't think too much about other things."

If you can't fight, you have to talk.

If you want to talk, you can't do without Qin Hui.

After sorting out this simple relationship, Liu Bang had a general understanding.

However, something seemed to be blocked in my heart and I couldn't say anything.
