Chapter 194 Spirits

"Smells good, what's the smell?"

On the cliffs of the canyon, people passing by outside the shops of Tianyumen smelled a faint fragrance and looked inward.

Inside the shop, the people from Tianyumen also traced the source of the aroma, but even the head of the shop, Peng Youzai, was stopped.

"Sect Leader Peng, I'm sorry, it's not time yet." Yuan Gang stopped at the intersection in Tongnei, while Duan Hu and the others behind were a little guilty and stopped the Sect Leader on Tianyumen's territory...

Chen Tingxiu scolded: "Presumptuous, are you allowed to do anything wrong?"

Yuan Gang ignored him, just stared at Peng and asked again: "Is the head of Peng trying to mess up the money he got?"

Hearing this, Peng Youzai could only hold back his curiosity and continue to endure...

In the inner forbidden area, Niu Youdao reached out and bent the brass leak, kneaded it into a ball and threw it aside, destroying the pot and stove.

After "destroying corpses and eradicating traces" of a corresponding item, he walked out of the house and waved to Wu Sanliang who was guarding the corridor, "Go and invite Fei Changliu and the three sect leaders."

"Yes!" Wu Sanliang hurried away.

Niu Youdao came out from the temporary forbidden area, and soon alarmed Peng You was waiting for someone, and when Peng You was looking for him, Niu Youdao was drinking tea in the bedroom prepared for him.

Yuan Gang did not stop the visitor this time, and Peng barged in again, immediately asking, "It smells weird, what are you doing?"

The shop was a bit uncomfortable from the smell, and it was better to open the ventilation windows.

Niu Youdao stood up and said with a smile, "Of course it's something to fulfill the promise."

Peng was asking again: "Where are the things?"

Niu Youdao: "Master Peng, don't worry, when Fei Changliu and the others come, they will take them out naturally. Uh...at your house, don't I invite you to drink tea?"

Peng Youzai sat aside and waited, looking at Niu Youdao from time to time, if it wasn't for the involvement of Bingxue Pavilion, how could such a thing happen.

After the ingenious thing stopped and the transom was opened, the smell in the shop gradually disappeared and dissipated.

After waiting for a while, Fei Changliu, Xia Hua, and Zheng Jiuxiao arrived one after another and waited in the living room.

After getting the notification, Niu Youdao got up again, stretched out his hand to invite Peng You to meet the guests together, and when he went out, he said to Yuan Gang: "Go and fetch those jars."

As soon as they came to the living room, Fei Changliu and the others also stood up and greeted Peng again.

The two sides exchanged some polite words, Yuan Gang brought a tray with five small wine jars on it, Niu Youdao waved his hands, "Let's send one jar to each of the masters."

Yuan Gang carried the tray and walked past several heads, and then came back, and left an altar in front of Niu Youdao.

Peng was waiting for someone to hold the wine jar and turned it over and over again. There was a new sealer on the wine jar, but he didn't know why for a while.

"Is this wine?" Seeing that it was served in a wine jar, Peng tried to ask again.

"Sect Leader Peng really has sharp eyes, he can tell at a glance, but Mr. Peng probably hasn't drunk this wine before." Niu Youdao grabbed the wine jar in front of him, and said to a Tianyu Sect disciple, "Please take five wine glasses."

The disciple looked at the master, and Peng waved his hand again, signaling to follow suit, then turned his head and stared at the wine jar in his hand, looking over and over again.

After a while, the wine glass was delivered and placed in front of Niu Youdao.

Niu Youdao took off the sealing mud, poured clear wine into the cup, and a fragrance began to waft in the room, which was different from the intoxicating fragrance before.

"It smells so good!" Xia Hua, who took a deep breath, praised it, and walked over to check it first.

The several heads couldn't bear it, and they all gathered around, wanting to see what kind of wine is so fragrant.

Niu Youdao, who poured out the good wine, stretched out his hand to signal, "I'm serving the newly brewed spirits, you might as well try it."

Several masters each took a glass and checked it in their hands. After looking at it, Peng couldn't help but gasped again, "Why is this wine so clear?"

Niu Youdao chuckled, this is the distilled wine he has blended, it is naturally clear, and said with a smile: "You usually drink too much impurities, and it is all turbid wine. My wine has no impurities and is naturally clear. Please use it!"

Hei Mudan and the others on the side who said this were a little itchy, wanting to taste the taste, and the elders of the various factions who came with them also had a twinkle in their eyes.

Only the corner of Yuan Gang's mouth twitched in disdain, and Master Dao was bullying a group of people again without knowledge.

"Wait a minute, head." Seeing that Peng was about to toast again, Chen Tingxiu hurriedly stopped him, took out a small porcelain bottle, and wanted to test the poison.

Niu Youdao sighed, "Don't ruin the taste of alcohol, I'm poisoning here, can I run away?" After that, he took a wine glass, held his head up and drank it dry, poured it into his mouth and down his throat slowly, exhaled the smell of alcohol, and his eyes felt a little nostalgic.

Seeing this, Peng waved his hand at Chen Tingxiu again, and also toasted.

However, as soon as the wine was in his mouth, he immediately stared and his cheeks tightened.

"Sect Leader, what's the matter?" Chen Tingxiu asked in surprise.

Peng was raising his hand again to stop it, as if not to disturb him, feeling the wine slowly entering his throat, only feeling a heat flowing into his stomach, as soon as he dropped his belly, it was like a fire burning, but the lingering fragrance in his mouth, the strong aroma lingered in his mouth, it was really memorable, and he stared and praised, "Good wine! It really is strong wine!"

Niu Youdao laughed. People here drink wine that has been fermented and directly removed from the dregs, which is completely different from the distilled wine he brews. Naturally, the taste is quite different.

When Fei Changliu and the others heard the words, they immediately tasted it sullenly, but as soon as they drank the wine, they all either stared or frowned.

Xia Hua even covered her mouth, seeming to swallow with difficulty.

"Phew! It really is good wine." Fei Changliu, who opened his mouth and exhaled, praised it.

"After drinking this wine, if you drink the previous wine again, I'm afraid it won't taste good." Zheng Jiuxiao smashed his mouth and sighed.

Xia Hua, who slowly let go of her mouth covering, shook her head and said, "This wine is too strong, too strong, and I'm not used to it."

"This is called wine!" Peng laughed again, reaching out to grab the wine jar, and the boldness of drinking came out, which really fit his size.

Niu Youdao reached out to hold the wine jar, "Master Peng, this wine is very precious, do you know how much money you drank in one gulp just now?"

Peng asked again: "How much?"

Niu Youdao looked around, "Is it time for the irrelevant people to step down? You can drink wine slowly, and the business should not be delayed. Let's talk about the business."

Peng tilted his head again, and those irrelevant disciples were immediately dismissed.

Apart from Niu Youdao, the rest were elders from various sects.

Niu Youdao poured wine into the cups of several headmen again. The cups were larger and the wine jars were not big. Each cup could only hold about a catty, and they would not be satisfied after another round of pouring. It happened that Xia Hua was not used to the intensity, so he didn't pour it for her.

In fact, Niu Youdao just made a little bit of Xiaojiu, and made some casually. He didn't spend so much energy on doing so much, just to prove that it really existed.

The several masters sipped slowly this time, they drank too hastily before, and after drinking this time, they all enjoyed themselves.

Niu Youdao shook the empty wine jar and asked: "Everyone, do you think this wine can be sold for a hundred gold coins per jar?"

Peng's eyes flashed again, as if he understood what he meant.

Xia Hua was surprised and said: "Such a small pot, it tastes so bad, and it's so expensive, who will buy it?"

Zheng Jiuxiao waved to her, "It's a good deal, I think two hundred gold coins will be bought by someone."

Fei Changliu nodded: "Even if you think it's too expensive and don't drink it often, it's okay to buy some good wine and go back to entertain guests. There are still a lot of rich people. It's not a problem to sell a wine of this quality for two hundred gold coins."

"Okay!" Niu Youdao nodded. He originally planned to estimate the price at one hundred. After hearing what the two said, he changed his mind and said to Peng again: "I will sell this jar of wine to Tianyumen for two hundred gold coins per jar. I don't care how much you sell it for Tianyumen. I and Yongping County King will provide 10,000 altars to Tianyumen every year."

The three of Fei Changliu looked at each other, a little hot-eyed, this is obviously a way of making money, I don't know how much to give them 10,000 altars to Tianyumen.

Peng rolled his eyes again, took a look at the wine jar, "Isn't it too little to give you 10,000 jars for such a small jar? Also, you dare to sell me two hundred gold coins for such a small jar, isn't it too dark?" His attitude immediately changed to fighting for the interests of Tianyumen, looking like a businessman.

Niu Youdao: "You have seen how difficult it is to brew this wine. It took me half a month for such a small five altars. It is quite a lot to give Tianyumen 10,000 altars a year, not to mention that it is exclusively supplied to Tianyumen. Besides, this money is not spent by me, but for your grandson and son-in-law. Of course, if the head of Peng thinks that two hundred gold coins are expensive, the heads of Zheng and Fei just now seem to be not too expensive. I can supply it to Liuxianzong and Fuyunzong."

Zheng Jiuxiao and Fei Changliu's eyes were full of anticipation immediately, but Peng raised his hand again, and immediately changed his words, "Well, as long as I promise to supply it exclusively to Tianyumen, I can agree!" With the sole right to sell, the price is easy to operate.

Niu Youdao: "Master Peng, don't agree too early, I still have three conditions."

Peng frowned again, paused, and asked again: "Let's listen first."

Niu Youdao: "Firstly, the power of soldiers and horses in Guangyi County and Qingshan County must belong to Yongping County King. I don't need to say more about the benefits of obeying and dispatching to avoid ordering the two parties. What's more, after concentrating forces to take down Nanzhou, the benefits that Feng Lingbo can get are comparable to a mere Guangyi County. It's better than him in Guangyi County, right?"

"Secondly, apart from collecting spirit herbs, Tianyumen must give up taking money from the two counties for the time being, at least not before conquering Nanzhou. There is no other meaning. The burden on the people in the two counties is too heavy, and the people are struggling to live. The prince should also reduce some taxes for the people's livelihood. It is also time for the people to cultivate and live. Where do the thousands of elite soldiers come from? We can no longer exhaust the water like before, that is not a long-term solution."

"Thirdly, Guangyi County doesn't care, but Tianyumen will give up half of the land for collecting spirit grass in Qingshan County to Liuxianzong, Fuyunzong and Lingxiu Mountain. After taking over Nanzhou, Tianyumen will also give up one-third of Nanzhou's land to share with them. The Song family has fallen, and the three factions have lost their attachments. They must be in a difficult situation. Tianyumen not only has Guangyi County and Qingshan County in their hands, but also has territory in other places. For a long period of time, there is simply not enough manpower to help the king of Yongping County. The head of Peng must also consider one point. Once he takes action against Nanzhou, the interests of many sects will be involved. Does Tianyumen want to take it alone? Let others share some of the pressure!"
