Chapter 9 : I Wish to Use the Sword in My Hand to Repel All the Vile Northern Foes
"You're that... no, that's not right..."
Ling Yu was about to say something, but when she came to her senses and looked at her smiling little brother, she swallowed her words.
This little brother was well-dressed, handsome, and elegant. He must be the young master of some wealthy family. How could he be that filthy beggar wandering the streets?
Besides, their height and build were different. Only their eyes were similar.
She must have been mistaken.

She shook her head. "No, no, my mind is muddled. I mistook you for someone else. I hope my Young brother can forgive me."
"Forgive you?"

"Heh~"
Ming Chen snatched Ling Yu's teacup, casually tossed out the tea inside, took the wine gourd from his waist, and filled it with wine. "How can forgiveness be just words? Big brother, drink this cup of wine, and your foolish little brother will forgive you..."
What kind of fine wine was this?
Clear and cool like a sweet spring, it gurgled from the gourd into the cup.

In an instant, the fresh scent of bamboo mixed with the mellow aroma of fine wine filled the room and drifted out through the window.
"What is that smell?"
"Wine! It's wine!"
"Old Liu has such good stuff? Quick, quick, give me a pot, no, no... give me a vat!"

"It smells so good! If I could have just one sip, I would die content!"
"Old Liu, you're too stingy. I've been here eight hundred times, and I've never seen you offer me a cup of wine like this."
W еb̄nоvе̃ľ Ēn u m̂а̌
...
Most of the people who came to this Piao Xiang Lou to eat were fond of wine.
For a moment, the clear aroma of wine wafted over, causing the diners outside the private room to crane their necks, breathing it in deeply, intoxicated.
If the smell alone was so good, they couldn't imagine what heavenly taste a single sip would be.
It truly lived up to the old saying that good wine needs no bush.
"Young brother, this..."

Ling Yu knew this little brother was joking and wanted to treat her to a drink, which was why he had brought out this fine wine.
Looking at the clear, fine wine, she couldn't help but swallow.
She was a connoisseur.
She couldn't even imagine how good it would taste.
She had secretly drunk all of her master's brewed wine. Only after coming down the mountain did she realize what kind of life she had been living on the mountain. She had never drunk such good wine again.
And now, the wine this mysterious little brother casually produced was three parts more beautiful than her master's Immortal's Drunkenness.
Wе b̊n̂ ov̂ė l Е.n ũ må
"Have a taste~"
Ming Chen gestured with his hand and said with a smile.

He wasn't much of a wine drinker, but he could see that this big sister must be one. The first thing she had looked at after entering the tavern was the wine in the hands of the other diners.
So special, not like an ordinary woman. No wonder she had to dress as a man.
"Then this foolish big brother will not be disrespectful..."
Ling Yu didn't want to make a false refusal. She picked up the teacup and drank it down in one gulp.
E_n u m̀ à
Instantly, a wave of heat shot from her chest to her head. The sweet aroma of wine lingered between her teeth, and the essence of green bamboo spread to her five viscera and six bowels.
She shook her head gently, feeling as if she were falling through clouds and mist, floating like a wandering cloud, a sensation of indescribable beauty.
Her blood surged, and she felt an endless strength flowing from her heart to her limbs.
After this one cup of wine, she felt she could capture tigers and subdue dragons, that no one in the world was her match.

"How is it?"
"Ha~"

"Good wine, what good wine~"
Ling Yu let out a breath in intoxication. Her handsome face was flushed, and her bright eyes were tinged with a watery sheen. She shook her head, sighing in admiration.
Her whole person seemed to have become more cheerful.
Drinking can enhance relationships.
When everything returns to its original state, stripped of all the filth and stench, this saying is indeed true.
"Qing Prefecture is not close to here!"

Ling Yu looked eagerly at Ming Chen's wine gourd and asked, "Young brother has traveled a thousand li to come here. Is it for some important matter?"
Ming Chen wasn't stingy with his wine. He filled her cup again and said with a smile, "Lin Prefecture is even farther from here! Big brother has run so far, what do you plan to do?"
"Hahaha~ Young brother understands me!"
Ling Yu looked at the wine in her teacup and couldn't help but grin, like a dog wagging its tail after its master has refilled its bowl.
But when it came to her purpose, her expression instantly became serious. She looked straight at Ming Chen. "I wish to go to the capital, take the military examination, join the army, and kill the enemy!"
She gripped the longsword at her waist, her voice low. "I wish to use the sword in my hand to repel all the vile northern foes!"

The path of a soldier, eh...
That is indeed a path to killing a million.

This straightforward big sister seems to have a story of her own.
"Does big brother have a feud with the Northern Lie?"
"A deadly feud."
In recent years, there had been constant friction on the northern border of Qian Yuan, with countless casualties. A whole prefecture had been occupied by the Northern Lie.

In the chaos of war, it was only normal for the common people to have hatred and feuds.
Ling Yu spoke with passionate fervor, her heroic spirit soaring to the clouds.
However, Ming Chen just shook his head and poured cold water on her. "If you've come for the current war with the Northern Lie, then you're a little late, big brother."
"What?!"

Ling Yu forgot to drink her wine and asked anxiously, "Young brother... what, what do you mean by that?"
"The war is almost over."
W̃ еb̃ n̈ о̇ v̀e l̇ Еň ũm̀ā
Meeting Ling Yu's anxious gaze, Ming Chen took a sip of wine and said unhurriedly, "This war will be over within half a year."
He looked at Ling Yu and asked in return, "In half a year, can you get on the battlefield?"
She wanted to display all that she had learned. Starting as a common soldier was too slow, and she would need some luck to be recognized by a commander.
So she didn't enlist, but chose the imperial examinations instead.
It was impossible to get on the battlefield immediately after this year's imperial examinations.
"Ah? Young brother, how do you know?"

How could this person know the future course of the war?
Ming Chen pointed to his forehead. "I guessed."
Ling Yu: ...
"Big brother doesn't believe me? We can make a bet. I'll analyze it for you."
The mischievous little bird stole a sip of wine, then immediately spat it out, sticking out its tongue repeatedly.
This statement disrupted Ling Yu's thoughts. Her face was grim and her expression uncertain. She forgot about the bet Ming Chen had mentioned.
Ën̄ ūm̈ а̇
Ming Chen stroked the bird's head while saying to Ling Yu, "Big brother, what is the purpose of war?"
"Hatred, plunder, expanding territory!"

Ming Chen shook his head. "No, no, no... it's profit. The people at the top want to make money!"
"Wha..."
Ling Yu's eyes widened. Just as she was about to argue, Ming Chen interrupted her. "At least, this time it is."
He pointed upwards. "The current emperor ignores state affairs and is single-mindedly seeking immortality. He doesn't have much sense of national responsibility. As long as he holds power, that's enough. The crown prince is not bad, but he has no power right now. This war has been going on for three years. The capable military officials have almost all died. The people at the top have already made a fortune from this war. If they keep going, there will be trouble.
Е̇ n̄ũ mа̄ ._і̌ d
Politically, there is no longer any need to continue this war.
In reality, there's no more money, no more people. A rebellion has started in the south and is gaining momentum. They need to put in effort to suppress it.
The people at the top will soon send someone to negotiate a truce.
As for the Northern Lie, the northern lands are barren. Their supplies can't keep up, and they haven't lost few people either. It's impossible for them to swallow the current Qian Yuan. They're just holding on. Once Qian Yuan goes to negotiate, after a period of wrangling, they're guaranteed to put on a show and agree.

Both sides are just in a stalemate now, seeing who will back down first.
I guess Qian Yuan will back down first. With internal and external troubles, they can hold on for half a year at most."

Ming Chen shrugged and said casually, "The final result will probably be ceding Li Prefecture to the Northern Lie in exchange for some money, grain, and supplies, and the matter will be settled."
