Chapter 75: Heavy Snow in Early Winter, Condolences to the Veterans

It's November in Daqin, and the entire Xianyang City is now covered in silver.

At this time, the First Emperor had not returned to Xianyang, but it was not far away.

Zhang Liang has been in Xianyang City for a while. Although Ying Yu has released all the Korean nobles imprisoned in court prisons, he still dare not leave Xianyang.

He was afraid that if he stepped away, the prisoner would kill them all.

Ying Yu stood in front of the window, looking at the heavy snow falling outside, feeling quite emotional.

I didn't expect that winter would come so early this year. It had just entered November and snowflakes were already falling in the sky.

"Master, everything is ready. When should we set off?"

Qin Feng came to Ying Yu with a flattering look on his face, and Ying Yu nodded slightly when he heard this.

What Ying Yu wants to do today is to visit those Qin veterans on behalf of the royal family.

Every year when it snows, some members of the royal family do this, and it has become a routine.

Braving the severe cold and wind and snow, Ying Yu took Qin Feng and the Tibetan Pagoda and walked outside Xianyang City.

Also going there were Wang Li and Meng Yi.

Most of these veterans were with the Wang and Meng families.

It snowed heavily, and for more than an hour, everyone arrived at a village outside Xianyang City.

It was a little dark at the moment, but the village was a busy scene.

Many people were clearing the snow with shovels in their hands.

After seeing Ying Yu and his party, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then greeted them warmly.

"I've seen Meng Shangqing, General Wang..."

These people are all veterans of the Qin State, so they naturally know Meng Yi and Wang Li.

The veterans did not show any surprise at the arrival of everyone because they were used to it.

Every year when it snows, no matter how big or small, people come.

"It's cold outside. Your Majesty and General Wang should go inside quickly!"

A few old soldiers enthusiastically led everyone into a house that didn't look too shabby.

Many veterans who learned the news came to say hello to Meng Yi and Wang Li.

Facing Meng Yi and the two men, these veterans were not at all restrained. Instead, they talked and laughed happily, talking about their glorious deeds in the past.

Ying Yu looked at these veterans and found that most of them had disabilities.

The lighter one is missing a few fingers, while the more serious one is missing arms and legs.

"Some time ago, I heard that a thief assassinated the king. Is the king injured?"

An old soldier asked with concern, they still called the First Emperor King, and they had never changed their name.

Wang Li laughed loudly when he heard this: "How can a few young men harm the king?"

The veterans laughed when they heard this.

"It snowed heavily in early winter, so I sent you some charcoal and food..." Ying Yu said calmly.

"Who is this?"

In fact, they had already noticed Ying Yu as soon as he came to the village.

But they knew the rules and didn't ask too many questions.

When Wang Li saw this, he quickly stepped forward and introduced to everyone:

"This is Gong Ziyu. I came here specially to visit you today."

The veterans were a little stunned when they heard this, and then hurriedly came forward to salute:

"See Young Master."

"I don't know if it's the young master in person. I've been negligent in the past. Please forgive me."

Ying Yu shook his head slightly, "No need to be polite, winter came very early this year, I... on behalf of my father, I brought you some winter clothes and charcoal."

After the words fell, the veterans shook their heads:

"Master, what are you doing? It's a great gift for you to come and visit us. How can you dare to accept a reward from the king?"

"That's right, we can't have these things. Young master, you'd better take them back."

A group of veterans were talking all over the place and refused to accept the items.

Looking at these veterans, Ying Yu didn't quite understand the meaning of what they did.

With their military exploits, not to mention being rich and powerful, they still have no problem living a life without worries about food and clothing.

But when he came here, Ying Yu discovered that their life was not good.

The clothes are shabby, the house is leaky, and there is not even a stove.

Most of the children here also have frostbite on their hands.

Although he didn't understand it, Ying Yu could probably guess something.

After thinking about it, Ying Yu did not force them to accept the gifts he brought, but simply said lightly:

"You can give up money and food, but you can't give up drinking this wine."

When all the veterans heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up: "Did the young master bring wine?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Ying Yu's mouth, and he said proudly:

"That's natural, and I don't care enough. Are you interested in having a drink with me?"

"Haha, the young master has spoken and I have no choice but to obey."

Many veterans had happy faces and laughed.

"Qin Feng, serve the wine!"

"Okay, the wine will be coming soon."

After saying that, he ran out and ran back a moment later carrying two large jars of wine.

Then he ran out again, obviously still.

"This is good wine brewed by me myself. Come and try it."

Upon hearing that the wine was brewed by Ying Yu himself, the smiles on the faces of the veterans became even wider.

Being able to drink with Mr. Da Qin is a supreme honor for them.

As bowls of wine were poured out, the rich aroma of wine suddenly filled the whole room.

"Come and drink!"

After Ying Yu finished speaking, he immediately drank a bowl. The veterans couldn't wait to drink. Ying Yu immediately started drinking as he spoke.

"Good wine...really good wine."

"This wine is simply a fairy brew in the world. Being able to drink such a good wine is worth my life."

Just when the veterans were full of praise, Qin Feng brought two more jars over, and then ran out again.

"Come on, open it and drink, it's enough."

"Haha, you are so grand. How can you do this with wine and no vegetables? Please wait a moment. I will go back and ask my mother-in-law to prepare some side dishes to cheer up."

At this moment, Meng Yi's eyes were straight.

The wine in that jar is all Drunken Immortal Brew?

I originally spent seven thousand gold to buy the Zuixian Brew?

The five jars I bought originally are probably not as much as this jar in total, right?

Drunken Immortal Brew worth twenty thousand gold, just...drink it like this?

Meng Yi's eyelids twitched when he saw someone spilling wine on the ground. He felt so sad.

"Sir, um... um, look, I... can I drink a few bowls of this?"

"No problem, you can drink as much as you want, that's enough."

When Meng Yi heard this, he didn't talk nonsense, picked up a bowl and started working.

You can drink the Zuixian brew worth 20,000 gold, but this bowl is worth several hundred gold.

This is not drinking. This is simply drinking gold.

No, I want to drink from a jar today, and no one can stop me.

Wang Li looked at the red-eyed Meng Yi and almost laughed out loud.
