After saying this, Duan Tianqi glanced at Shangguan Honghuo's expression and found that he was not surprised at all, as if he already knew about the rumor.
Duan Tianqi didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "Shuyi Kingdom is small and weak, with vast territory and a sparse population. We hope to use the strength of Wushi Kingdom to annex Weilong Kingdom in one fell swoop. If successful, Shuyi Kingdom and Wushi Kingdom can divide the world in two!"
Shangguan Honghu sneered, "You think a jar of wine and half a country are enough to make the Warrior Kingdom a henchman of your Shuyi Kingdom?"
Duan Tianqi frowned and said, "As long as the Warrior Kingdom is willing to be the spear, my Shuyi Kingdom is willing to be the shield."
Upon hearing Duan Tianqi's words, Shangguan Hong chuckled, "I'm sorry, what Prince Duan said was really funny, I just couldn't help it."
Duan Tianqi's face darkened. He didn't understand Shangguan Honghuo's meaning. Why couldn't the ruler of a country cooperate with him when he was talking nonsense in such a serious manner?
Shangguan Honghuo chuckled and said, "You said that Red Dust Wine is the number one wine of your Shuyi Kingdom. I am very curious as to why my Warrior Kingdom can also brew the wine that your Shuyi Kingdom makes?"
Duan Tianqi looked shocked. "Wh-what?"
Shangguan Hong smiled wickedly without saying a word, and beckoned to the servant beside him. The servant then took out a jar of wine and placed it in front of Duan Tianqi.

Duan Tianqi stared blankly. "This, this is absolutely impossible! The brewer of Red Dust Wine, the Drunken Old Man, is still in our hands. It's impossible!"
Shangguan Hong smiled and said, "Prince Duan seems to be unaware of something. Many years ago, a princess visited my Warrior Kingdom. At that time, the Red Dust Wine had just been unearthed, so I invited her to drink with me. The princess liked it very much and insisted on taking the brewing method."
A gentle look flashed in Shangguan Honghuo's eyes. "But because of the differences between the two countries, I really couldn't give her the method of brewing wine. Unfortunately, the princess was too domineering, so I made a bet with her. Who knew that she would win in the end and get the secret recipe for brewing wine."
At this point, Duan Tianqi finally understood who the princess was: "Princess Qingge from the Weilong Kingdom!"
