Wei Zhongbao nodded, "Brother is right! Our accounts and operations are all top secrets. Even if that old geezer Yao Tianzheng came in person, he wouldn't be able to find anything wrong! Him? Ha..."
Despite the fearlessness of Wei Zhong'e and Wei Zhongbao, Wei Zhonghu was still apprehensive.
"But...but this kid is strange in every way!"
"We still shouldn't underestimate them!"
Upon hearing this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Wei Zhong'e's eyes.
"Bang!"
Wei Zhong'e crushed the small wine flask in his hand. "He must die!"
Putting aside the fact that Sun Jian was sent by Yao Tianzheng to seize their military power, Wei Zhong'e was furious just thinking about how Sun Jian used an unknown formation to defeat his two brothers' two thousand men, causing the Wei brothers to lose face in the army.
"Brother Tiger is right. This man will only cause trouble sooner or later if we keep him around. We need to find a way to lure him out of the camp and ambush him halfway!"
"We can't let him die in the Tiger Warriors!"
"Alright, brother! That's what I think too! The sooner Sun Jian dies, the better."
Wei Zhonghu's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "If he hadn't left the Tiger Legion, we brothers really wouldn't have been able to make a move. But now that he's no longer in the Tiger Legion, his death is imminent!"
"This is the perfect opportunity that Heaven has given us brothers to kill him!"
"good!"
Wei Zhong'e nodded heavily, agreeing with Wei Zhonghu's point of view.
"Tiger, I'll leave this to you!"
"Yes, Your Majesty! I'll take care of it right away!"
After receiving Wei Zhong'e's order, Wei Zhonghu immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute and nodded.
"Remember, after killing that brat Sun Jian, you must not implicate my Wei family. Make it look like an enemy ambush, and you must escape unscathed!"
"Don't worry, brother, I know how to prove my alibi! Besides, we've been training for this for a long time, and I won't be moving a single soldier from the Tiger Legion. It'll be our brothers in the mountains who will get some exercise..."
"He's dead this time!"
The murderous intent in Wei Zhonghu's eyes grew even stronger.
As the saying goes, even a fierce tiger can't withstand a pack of wolves, and two fists can't beat four hands.
No matter how brilliant Sun Jian's military strategy or how skilled his martial arts, he will surely die under the siege of several hundred armored soldiers!
Wei Zhong'e nodded in satisfaction, and the thought of Sun Jian being ambushed on his way back to camp tomorrow made him smile.
"Alright, brother, let's not bring up that brat Sun Jian anymore and spoil the fun. Let's drink!"
Wei Zhongbao didn't care about anything else, picked up his wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp.
Now that the matter has been settled, there's no need to dwell on it.
Sun Jian will surely die tomorrow!
Thinking of this, Wei Zhonghu also suppressed his killing intent and looked at Wei Zhonge with a smile: "Yes, brother, let's not talk about him. Although Sun Jian is hateful, he said something right."
"That sentence?"
"When will the moon be clear and bright? I raise my cup to ask the blue sky!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Come on! Let's do it!"
After a few more cups of wine, the three brothers' faces turned rosy, and they became more and more excited as they drank.
Wei Zhongbao was the most fond of drinking among the three brothers. He raised his wine cup again to Wei Zhong'e and Wei Zhonghu, saying, "My two brothers, you don't know this, but recently a shop in the capital has become incredibly popular. It is said that from opening to closing time, it only takes the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!"
Upon hearing what Wei Zhongbao said, Wei Zhonghu laughed heartily, "Haha, Brother Bao, how could I not know? My elder brother and I heard about this the day before yesterday. Not only do my elder brother and I know, but every soldier in our Tiger Legion knows."
"It is said that this shop has only been open for a short time and only sells two exquisite items. One is extremely inexpensive fine salt, which is not only cheap but also said to be healthier than the fine salt used by the royal family! The other is the unparalleled wine that you will never forget after just one sip - Forget-Me-Not Valley!"
"Tsk tsk..."
Wei Zhonghu savored the taste of the wine, his mouth watering and lingering on it.
"I wonder who that shopkeeper is, that he can brew such a wonderful nectar!"
"Even though I've drunk so much wine in my life, there's not a single jar that can compare to it!"
"That feeling was absolutely amazing, you could say even an ounce of it would be worth a hundred gold pieces!"
"Right, bro?"
Wei Zhong'e nodded. He had the pleasure of tasting this wine a few days ago. Although the quantity was small, it was truly excellent.
Wei Zhonghu's praise is well-deserved.
"Indeed, this Valley of Forgetfulness is truly rare in the world, a heavenly wine! It is no exaggeration to call it a unique treasure."
Upon hearing Wei Zhong'e and Wei Zhonghu's comments, Wei Zhongbao complained, "Well, you two older brothers actually drank the Forget-Worry Valley while your younger brother was away!"
"You didn't even leave any for my younger brother..."
"Hey, Leopard Brother, what are you saying?"
Wei Zhonghu laughed heartily, "That day, my brother and I were on our way to report to the Ministry of War. We passed through the market and were fortunate enough to purchase it."
"The amount in one bottle is pitifully small. I originally wanted to save some for you, hehe, but it tastes so good that my brother and I couldn't resist."
"This wine is now extremely rare and hard to find outside the capital. Even the largest brothel in the capital doesn't have many bottles..."
"It's practically impossible to find a buyer even if the price is right."
When Wei Zhong'e recalled the incident, he felt a little embarrassed and quickly changed the subject.
"Yes, although the price at that strange shop didn't change, it was snapped up by outsiders and the price went up. A single bottle even sold for as much as 50 taels!"
"hiss!"
Wei Zhongbao gasped in shock.
A small bottle of wine, containing only about half a jin to a jin, has been priced this high.
Fifty taels of silver—that's more than a year's worth of their pay!
It's practically astronomically expensive; even if I didn't eat, drink, or spend any money for over a year, I could barely afford one bottle...
You must know that Wei Zhongbao is a Lieutenant General commanding an army of ten thousand men. His military rank is among the highest in the entire Da Gan region, yet even he struggled so much to purchase one…
You can imagine how high the price is!
Even at this price, it didn't deter everyone, which shows how popular it is.
Wei Zhong'e shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Alas, who would have thought that after all the hard work we brothers put into protecting Daqian, our annual salary wouldn't even cover the cost of a pot of wine, or even what a shopkeeper earns in a day? Tsk tsk, what a world..."
“Brother, there’s no need to say that. The shopkeeper who can brew such a fine wine must not be a commoner. Moreover, this wine is so rare that it won’t be long before the Great Xia, Great Song, and Great Zhou are all swept away.”
"After all, it's still a shop I've built up in Da Gan. It's also a way to strengthen Da Gan's national power and make money for Da Gan! Hahaha!"
"Indeed, anyone who can enhance the prestige of our nation is a hero. I must meet the shopkeeper of this store if I have the chance!"
Wei Zhongbao looked utterly devastated. He tried to interject several times but couldn't get a word in edgewise, and his lips twitched with embarrassment.
Didn't I just say that I've never drunk Forget-Worry Valley?
How did this come down to promoting national prestige and increasing national strength?
You guys have tasted it, but I haven't tasted it yet!
Are we just going to brush it off like that?
