Upon hearing Luzi's warm invitation, Feng Quji did not hesitate to accept immediately. After all, it was a time to enjoy the moment, so how could he refuse to drink? He expressed his respect and stepped into the private room with large strides.
Li Xin and Chang Yu were unaware of why Luzi chose to help the rogue Outside, even settling the bill for him. They thought that would be the end of it, but unexpectedly, they were invited here to drink!
No businessman would turn down a good deal, and the Big Shopkeeper of Ten Li Fragrant Restaurant had not shown up either. Upon learning that there were distinguished guests upstairs helping to mediate for Tavern, he expressed his gratitude by sending several barrels of fine wine upstairs for free. He called it: Ten Li Fragrance Once in a Century cellar collection.
The barrels of wine were personally delivered by the Manager, who had received benefits from Luzi. He made it clear that this was exquisite wine only available at House of Qi. If they couldn't finish it, they could store it at the restaurant and come back for it later!
In such handover situations, generally, there was no need for Luzi to step in. However, both Li Xin and Chang Yu came from martial backgrounds and were completely unfamiliar with the intricate etiquette of hospitality. Seeing that Luzi wanted to stand up to express thanks, Feng Quji realized that there was no Official Family accompanying him. He quickly stood up in advance to thank the Innkeeper on behalf of Luzi.
This was the rule!
The restaurant's Manager did not find anything wrong with this arrangement and waved for the waiting Waiter at the door to bring in the barrels of wine. Once each table had a barrel placed on it, he said, "I wouldn't dare interrupt your enjoyment. Please feel free to let me know if you need anything. Enjoy your meal!"
Since new guests had joined, it was natural to add more dishes to the table. Even if using his own private funds, the standard four dishes and one soup rule could not be broken. As Luzi put it, while it might take many years for someone to develop a habit of being meticulous, relaxing completely could happen in just a few days.
Feng Quji, sitting next door, enjoyed a full table of dishes all by himself. If he hadn't been caught by the Keen Observer, he would have likely already burst from overeating by now. Seeing that the restaurant only placed four dishes and one soup on each table, he couldn't help but laugh heartily.
The older-looking Lu Zi asked, "Why are you laughing, brother?"
Hearing this, Feng Quji shook his head with a smile. Making sure no one was eavesdropping at the door, he lowered his voice and said, "If I’m not mistaken, you brothers must be from Qin State, right?"
Currently, Qin State was engaged in battle at Shangdang, a fact known by all common people. Suddenly hearing that someone had deciphered their identity made Chang Yu reach for his sword sheath in an attempt to retaliate. In these times, there weren't many commoners who could identify someone's background; this person might very well be from the officials of Qi State!
Luzi turned to look at the poised Chang Yu and chose to ignore him. He shook his head noncommittally and smiled, "Brother, you truly have a keen eye! Indeed! We brothers have come from the Qin State! Businessmen travel all over the world; there is no place we cannot go."
While waiting for an answer, Feng Quji had already made up his mind that if the other party refused to admit it, he would simply leave. At this moment, hearing the declaration of identity, he nodded in acknowledgment. "No wonder you are Qin people! That spirit of blood runs strong no matter when or where!"
Just then, sitting across from Feng Quji, Li Xin finally caught on to something. He slammed the table and whispered fiercely, "Feng Ting!? You are quite bold! Why don’t you find a place to hide instead of running back to Qi State’s capital?!"
Feng Quji looked down at his attire and then at the smiling Luzi. "Am I really that old? General Feng is at least two decades younger than me!"
Luzi waved his hand to disperse the tense atmosphere in the room before saying, "A tiger from a military family! Truly impressive!"
Hearing the underlying meaning in Luzi's words, Feng Quji suddenly understood why he was so kindly helped out of trouble; it was because his true identity had already been confirmed. So he no longer hid it and stated that he was indeed the eldest son of Huayang Jun Feng Ting.
Feng Quji had come to Linzi for a reason. He was frustrated with his father for disregarding King Han's orders by trading land with Zhao State, which led to the Million-Strong Army of Tigers and Wolves wreaking havoc in Shangdang Region. After arguing for several days, he left home in anger and decided never to return and acknowledge a thief as his father!
Listening to Feng Quji recount his past, Li Xin and Chang Yu were nearly speechless. According to various intelligence reports, the traitor of Qin State, Feng Zhiyuan, was indeed Huayang Jun Feng Ting; Feng Ting was Feng Zhiyuan! And that person who could be called both Feng Zhiyuan and Feng Ting was currently not locked up in Wild King City’s prison!
However! The time frame mentioned by Feng Quji indicated that he had left home after secretly capturing Feng Zhiyuan in Changzi County City! At that time, Feng Ting had already been taken to Wild King City; how could there still be another existence?
Observing the expressions of the two men, Luzi found it amusing. It seemed that things were getting more interesting! Clearing his throat to remind them to be mindful of their surroundings, he then asked, "Based on Brother Feng's insight, where do you think the old man should go next?"
Feng Quji was also a standard drinker; seeing a wine jar on the table, he no longer held back. He filled a bowl for himself... It seemed everyone in the room had quite an appetite for alcohol! He raised his ceramic bowl towards the three Qin people and then drank it all in one go.
"Good wine!"
Feng Quji casually wiped his mouth and said, "I do not praise the Qin State simply because the three of you are Qin people; there is no need for that! In today's world, where calamity reigns and the iron halberds sink into the sands, the suffering of the war-torn people is unbearable. It is already time for the hearts of the people to settle. How can we eliminate the ravages of war? Of course, only through national unification can this be achieved!" After speaking, he looked at the three present.
"I am correct, am I not?"
Luzi nodded in agreement, acknowledging that China has never lacked heroes. Whenever China faces great disasters, many begin to reflect seriously on the past. This is actually a good phenomenon; it is better than sinking into a drunken stupor.
"Brother Feng is right! This is what we call heroes seeing eye to eye! Only by achieving unification of our Huaxia can we completely eliminate war. Without war, the people can live and work in peace! It seems Brother Feng has been in Qi State for quite some time; the blessings of peace are evident everywhere. What struck me deeply was the moment I entered Qidi, where happy smiles were seen all over the fields. Isn't this scene precisely the ultimate goal that our Huaxia Good Men pursue in this life?"
Encouraged by their support, Feng Quji opened up further and continued, "Looking at today's world, Qin State is undoubtedly destined to fulfill the unification of the Feudal States. This is both heaven's will and public sentiment! Although I do not dare to go against my father's wishes, I understand these things. So... hey! After all, he is my father..."
Seeing Feng Quji's melancholic expression, Luzi realized that this young man was facing a survival crisis due to his hasty departure from home. Otherwise, he would not have rushed here to eat a free meal.
