Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

He pretended to be dead.    

He just stood there with his mouth wide open, staring blankly at His Majesty.    

His Majesty was naturally annoyed.    

Then he got someone to drag him out.    

He directly sent him to the palace entrance and even specially arranged a carriage to send him home.    

The Xiao family's wine had already entered the Imperial Palace.    

Actually, many people knew about this matter.    

This matter should also end here.    

However, the folklore about that jar of wine was getting more and more intense.    

The name of the immortal wine was also completely confirmed.    

It made His Majesty a little skeptical after hearing it. He went to drink a few more times and even specially asked the eunuch to find Xiao Yun to verify it. Of course, he was not willing to say that the wine was with him.    

It could be considered as covering his ears and stealing the bell.    

It made Xiao Yun feel helpless. He only said that it was easy to get addicted to that kind of wine. Highly alcohol could easily make the body dependent, so he did not say anything else.    

Of course, this was all in the future.    

The current Xiao Yun only knew what had happened after the commotion in Xiao family was over.    

After that, he opened his eyes wide and looked at the women of Xiao family who had done something wrong. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.    

"It's a good thing to entertain them, but you must know when to treat the people of the royal family. This is what you can't provide for a long period of time. Don't give them anything that is harmful to the body if it is used for a long period of time. Don't give them anything either, so whether it is cigar or wine... I am restricting giving them something, so it is fine if it is limited by one thing... If there is a restriction on everything, I'm afraid it will cause resentment. Giving something to someone would instead become a bad thing. "    

Aunt Ye was stunned for a long time.    

Then she smiled bitterly and said, "So... we thought too simply about you."    

"Ah? What did you think of me?"    

"That's right... if you have good stuff to enjoy, you don't have to consider others at all."    

"This... in your hearts, is this how I am? "    

Everyone nodded their heads.    

Even Badao, who was standing beside them, felt the same way.    

It made Xiao Yun angry.    

However, he was also amused by the anger.    

He spread his hands and said, "It's just like this. It's fine as long as the heavens are watching. How can it satisfy everyone? I don't have that capability. "    

He really wasn't angry.    

He was already used to this kind of thing.    

Because doing the right thing would lead to a misunderstanding.    

It had been like this since ancient times.    

Only now did he have the ability to not talk about the ways of the world.    

He felt that it was very good.    

He would continue to persist like this.    

However, he did not expect that this matter of alcohol would actually cause a major event.    

Early the next morning, someone came to ask for wine.    

It was an old man wearing a bamboo hat and a black robe. His appearance couldn't be seen clearly.    

The reason why he knew he was an old man.    

Because a very long beard was leaking out from under the bamboo hat.    

Just by looking at that beard, it gave off a 'stunning' feeling.    

Most people's beards were either twisted or loosened.    

It was very hard to see a straight hair like a woman's.    

In Xiao Yun's past life, there was a person with a particularly beautiful beard in history.    

That was Guan Yu, Guan Yun Chang.    

When he saw the king at that time, when the king saw his appearance, the first thing he said was, "Pretty Beard Duke."    

From then on, Guan Yu had brought this name with him for his entire life, and he was rather proud of it.    

This old man's beard was probably not much different.    

The people of the Xiao family were very polite to their guests.    

Because of all the things that had happened previously, they had changed their habit of being snobbish.    

Even if a beggar were to walk past the door, they would still politely smile at him.    

Xiao Yun's theory was like this.    

The doorman and the servant.    

These were all the front doors of a mansion.    

When people saw what they were like, they would deduce what kind of family they were.    

Usually, this sort of thing would happen.    

The family worked hard to maintain their own reputation outside.    

Then, it was completely destroyed by a servant.    

A dam of a thousand miles would collapse like an ant's nest.    

This wasn't just a saying.    

And once such a mistake occurred, it would not be the servant's fault, nor would it be bad luck.    

It was just that the family education was not strict, and the management was not good!    

To put it bluntly.    

The family's upbringing was not enough!    

This was a path of destruction. It was not as simple as being stabbed in the spine.    

Thus, when the servants saw that old man, the first thing they did was respect him.    

After that, they told him to wait for a while, and the others to look for Xiao Yun.    

They didn't want him to wait. Although he couldn't enter the door, the servants would bring out a small table and a small chair. There was also a screen behind him that could block the wind.    

There was hot tea and tea.    

The tea was still good, and the refreshments were also not bad.    

That old man also carried it in the beginning.    

With a cold snort, he casually sat down on the chair.    

His attitude was extremely stiff.    

However, after drinking a mouthful of tea, he was clearly stunned for a moment.    

That's right, who would give a guest with an unknown identity a good tea that cost twenty taels of silver? !    

In the end, he was still moved.    

He sighed and raised his head to look at the gate of the Xiao family.    

He found that this door was taller than he had imagined!    

About fifteen minutes later, a servant came over and invited the old man in.    

When he came earlier, he had planned to cause a huge ruckus as long as Xiao Yun did not come out to invite him personally.    

But now, he obediently followed the servant in.    

Because he realized that Yun's situation was really a little too big.    

After entering, Xiao Yun was sitting in the courtyard of the main hall, and not in his small courtyard that was farming.    

When the old man walked in, Xiao Yun raised the tea bowl in his hand and said with a smile, "There are friends coming from afar, don't you think so?"    

The old man was stunned for a moment and asked, "How did Young Master Xiao know that I am a friend but not an enemy?"    

Xiao Yun laughed and said, "Those who have something to ask of me are all my friends."    

"The concept of friends is too broad."    

"This young master is just a commoner. Half of his body is in the Imperial Court, and the other half is in the business world. This is what businessmen do."    

The old man smiled: "Then what if this old man is not asking for it, but wants it?"    

"If you want it, then split it into several types. If you are strong, then so be it. You can be unreasonable. If you want it gently, you can use it to persuade me. If you want it euphemistically, if you want it heroic, you want it to be humble and subservient. However, no matter how he wanted it, it was always a deal, and he had to pay the price. Obtain the item."    

"Even if you forcefully rob it, you still have to pay the price?"    

"Naturally, and the price is even greater!"    

Xiao Yun laughed and waved his hands. "Come, let's sit down and chat."    

There was a clean teacup on the table, and there was warm tea in the teacup.    

Although it was in the courtyard and it was the beginning of spring, it did not seem cold here.    

It must have something to do with the screens around and the heating furnace in the middle.    

Coming to the courtyard in the beginning of spring to enjoy the scenery was something only wealthy people could enjoy.    

He drank a mouthful of tea.    

The temperature was just right.    

Xiao Yun suddenly smiled again. "Actually, this cup of tea can be poisoned."    

The old man shook his head and said, "Young Master Xiao is disdainful."    

"Why do you think I will not do this?"    

The old man suddenly paused.    

That's right.    

Why did he have such a feeling?    

Instinct?    

Xiao Yun said in his place, "Because you know how people do things in the past. I work hard to maintain my reputation. If I casually poison and kill you, it would be no different from destroying my reputation. And you... are you worthy of destroying my reputation? You must feel that it's not worth it. Secondly, there are people who know that you came here. If you can't return, they would naturally know that it was me who did something. At that time, the trouble I would cause would definitely not be small. This is also the price I have to pay to poison you to death. I feel that this price is a bit high... So you won't poison me. Similarly, you also have such a judgment in your heart. So you don't think that I will poison you. This is your intuition. It is also your experience, and the formation of this experience... In fact, it's this type of benefit judgment, a price assessment."    

The old man was stunned again.    

Then, he lowered his head and thought about it carefully.    

He couldn't find any flaws in the old man's words.    

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense.    

Xiao Yun continued, "So you came to beg me for good wine. No matter what method you use to get it, you actually have to pay a price. Which one you choose is your business."    

The old man thought for a moment, then said, "This old man... I have a friend."    

"Oh, friend"    

"[He was seriously injured and could not be cured. There is no cure for him. His favorite thing in life is to drink the best wine in the world. As his friend, I want to drink the most beautiful wine in the world before he passes away, no matter what price I have to pay!]"    

" Oh? No matter what the price is... Hehe, there are a lot of people who would say something like that, but most of them would just say it."    

" He saved my life twice. "    

"That's not the reason."    

" The reason he was heavily injured this time was because he saved me. "    

Xiao Yun frowned and touched his chin. Then he nodded and said, "Comrades of brotherhood in the martial world, even if you are hypocritical, you should have this friendship. Otherwise, you will not be able to move an inch in the martial world in the future. This is also a price to pay. "    

The words hypocritical made the old man's body slightly tremble.    

Was it anger or sadness? No one could say for sure.
