Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

3"Wine, at His Majesty's, this is known by the world. You did not look for His Majesty, but came to find me... and I don't have it anymore. It is also known by the world. If you do not go, there will definitely be. If you come to me, I may not have it. No matter how you look at it, it seems like you want to bully me."    

    

Xiao Yun smiled gently and said in a seemingly harmless manner.    

    

The old man raised his head.    

    

He slowly took off his bamboo hat and placed it on the table.    

    

A red face and a huge scar appeared on his face, from his forehead to the corner of his mouth and passed through his left eye.    

    

This eye was obviously gone.    

    

Apart from this scar, he really looked like the Guan Gong that Xiao Yun had imagined. There was also the fact that he was a bit thinner.    

    

He had been arrogant at the beginning, but now, he had shown his true colors to everyone.    

    

It was because the old man had discovered that Xiao Yun was different from the others.    

    

With his experience in the martial arts world, he needed to be sincere when facing such a person.    

    

"I don't have the confidence to escape unscathed from the king of Qin Country. My death is a small matter. If I don't get the wine, I'm afraid that my friend won't be able to feel at ease on the road to the Yellow Springs."    

    

Xiao Yun spread out his hands and said, "You can pretend that you've never heard of this news before. I presume your friend doesn't know either."    

    

"But I know!"    

    

Xiao Yun sighed.    

    

With a few simple words, he knew the other party's character.    

    

Unless the other party was pretending on purpose, but if he was pretending on purpose... it didn't seem right.    

    

After all, this was just wine.    

    

"Then let me make a hypothesis first. Let's assume that I have wine, but I don't want to sell it to you. No matter what price you offer, what kind of thing you exchange it for, what will you do if I don't give it to you?"    

    

The old man obviously frowned and said, "Then we can only snatch it by force."    

    

Xiao Yun said, "I can be considered a wealthy family here. I just ran from here to the front door. There are nine and twelve doors, and there are countless guards in the house. Naturally, there are also a lot of hidden crossbows. Even if there are a hundred people in the army, most of them will die if they want to go out. Can you bring wine with you by yourself? "    

    

The old man gritted his teeth and said," Maybe you'll get injured, but you can still go out. "    

    

"You're so confident?"    

    

"This is the Qin Country."    

    

The old man said something that seemed like he was not answering the question.    

    

However, Xiao Yun understood.    

    

Obviously, there were no experts in the Qin Country.    

    

Xiao Yun rubbed his brows in pain.    

    

He smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know if you have heard of me being ambushed on the streets of the capital. I almost lost my life. The girl beside me is still lying on the bed, recovering from her injuries. I don't know how she will recover this year. Regarding this, I have always felt as if a fishbone is stuck in my throat. "    

    

The old man asked curiously, "Young Master Xiao... Is this an order to send an army?"    

    

"It's not that I don't have that intention. Experts, I need them by my side."    

    

"Then I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Young Master Xiao."    

    

"Let's not be too full of ourselves."    

    

Xiao Yun smiled and took a sip of tea. He said, "Some people like freedom, but freedom needs to pay a price. Sometimes the price is very high."    

    

The old man sneered and did not say anything.    

    

Xiao Yun touched his nose and said, "I need people by my side. It's best if they are the kind of people who can use sword Qi and saber Qi. Because I have enemies in the North Wei, and some of them are hidden somewhere. It was very deep. Speaking of that guy in the North Wei who is able to use Saber Qi... Logically speaking, I should be dead now that I've injured him. However, I'm not sure what will happen in the world of experts. So I need someone to protect me, protect this family "    

    

The old man said," This is the Xiao family of Qin Country, the Xiao family of Qin Country. Old Master Xiao is fighting in the north, and Young Master Xiao is doing very well in the capital. Who would dare to touch you? "    

    

Xiao Yun said, "The matters of the Imperial Court are all part of the Imperial Court. The matters of the Jianghu are still part of the Jianghu. If I was really as strong as you say, I would be able to rest in peace. You wouldn't even come to find me today. What do you think?"    

    

"I..."    

    

" There's no need to explain. As a person, I am open-minded. I always have an idea, that is, if anyone feels that they can risk their lives to snatch something from your hands, that proves that you're not that strong, or that you're not that strong yet. "    

    

That's right.    

    

Compared to His Majesty, the old man chose Xiao Yun in the end.    

    

The old man was speechless.    

    

He silently lowered his head.    

    

"Don't lower your head"    

    

Xiao Yun said, "It's not your fault. It's my fault."    

    

He slowly stood up and smiled. "So I really need help. On the one hand, I need to be respected. On the other hand, I need to be feared. That's why I have a word. Respect. That's a really good word, it's not as gaudy as those words, it's clear about humanity"    

    

The old man raised his head and thought for a moment. He shook his head and said," I'm past the age of working for others, but I do know someone. "    

    

" Oh? Who is it?"    

    

"She can be considered half a disciple of this old man, but she might not be willing to come."    

    

"Young man? Whatever you want, I'll give it to you."    

    

The old man shook his head and said: "Things will be a bit troublesome, because she is a woman"    

    

"What's wrong with a woman?"    

    

Xiao Yun frowned and said, "What I want is her ability. As long as she is capable enough, I don't care if she is a man or a woman."    

    

The old man shook his head again. "She is not only a girl, but also a beautiful woman. You know, beautiful women are always troublesome."    

    

"Me? Trouble?"    

    

"[It's her trouble]"    

    

The old man raised his head and looked at Xiao Yun very seriously. He said, "A strong and beautiful woman will make men pay attention to her."    

    

Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Indeed, this world is really worthy of the word 'beauty and disaster'."    

    

The old man nodded and said, "It is very difficult to guard it."    

    

"Yes, very difficult."    

    

"[She's not living a good life either]"    

    

"Isn't that a coincidence?"    

    

Xiao Yun smiled bitterly and said, "It's a bit arrogant to say such words, but in this world, if a beautiful woman wants to leave the life of a homeless person, she has to rely on someone."    

    

The old man sighed and said, "But in this world, who is worthy of being attached to?"    

    

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Xiao Yun with a strange expression.    

    

Xiao Yun rubbed his nose awkwardly and said, "Actually, I am not a bad choice. At least I am young. If that day really comes... Cough cough, it's not too much of a loss for the girl. "    

    

The old man was stunned for a moment, then he laughed loudly and said, "You're quite straightforward. If it was anyone else, they would have said that they wouldn't touch her, but you are different."    

    

Xiao Yun spread his hands and said, "It is inevitable to have feelings over a long period of time. She doesn't have feelings for me, but what if I do?"    

    

Gua nodded desperately at the side, as if she was agreeing with something.    

    

It made Xiao Yun feel very awkward.    

    

He rubbed her head hard.    

    

Even if he had a relationship with someone for a long time, it was not to the extent of having a relationship with Gua.    

    

This fellow... was more like a child, a junior, and was especially good at taking care of people.    

    

The old man said, "Then... If this old man did not introduce you, would you not give the wine to this old man?"    

    

"That's not true."    

    

Xiao Yun chuckled and waved at Gua.    

    

Gua immediately went back into the room and took out a small bottle.    

    

A porcelain bottle could be considered a high grade item.    

    

Xiao Yun took the bottle and opened it. He took out a pill from his pocket and threw it inside. He then shook it hard for a while.    

    

Only then did he pass it to the old man.    

    

"I poisoned it, but don't worry. It doesn't affect the taste of the wine. Instead, it will taste better."    

    

The old man was completely stunned.    

    

He didn't know why Xiao Yun would do such a thing.    

    

Xiao Yun took out a small bottle from his pocket and shook it. There was a clanking sound inside, as if there were metal balls inside hitting each other.    

    

"This is the antidote. It can be sent to you by that martial arts master like girl."    

    

... "So that's how it is..."    

    

The old man was stunned for a long while before he smiled bitterly.    

    

"What is it? Are you unhappy?"    

    

Xiao Yun asked with a smile.    

    

The old man nodded and shook his head. He said, "A true villain is always more reliable than a hypocrite. The rules of the martial world. It's very rare to put things on the surface, but you are different. I have already told you everything, even if the poison makes me angry. However, there's actually nothing to hate about it. "    

    

As he spoke, the old man took the bottle.    

    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Then this is considered a deal?"    

    

The old man turned his head and said, "You are truly a wonderful person."    

    

"I am a Saint Grade, a future Saint. Naturally, I am different from ordinary people."    

    

"Hmm... that's true."
