On the south gate of Yuanyechuan, one side is outside the border, the direction of the Liao army, and the other side is within the border, the territory of Da Qin.

Li Chen and the Thirteenth Prince of the Golden Country, Huangji Tian, sat together in a special place set aside on the city gate.

A small table, with no delicacies, just ordinary stir-fries and stews, six dishes in total. The ingredients were not expensive either, all common chicken, duck, fish, and meat, and even among the vegetarian dishes, there was a dish of wild vegetables.

For an ordinary family, this kind of meal would already be considered quite good.

But for Li Chen and Huangji Tian's identities, only the word "humble" can be used to describe them.

Li Chen, as the host, sat down first and gestured for Huangji Tian to sit opposite him. As he poured wine for Huangji Tian, Li Chen said, "The supplies at Yueya Pass are scarce. Even these dishes on the table are gifts from Gansu and Shaanxi. Otherwise, I could only offer you military rations. Don't mind it, right"

The Celestial Emperor, Huangji, laughed and said, "After so long in the capital, I've grown tired of all the luxurious delicacies. Now, some light fare would be just right for me."

As if to express his feelings, Huangji Tian picked up a large mouthful of vegetables and stuffed it into his mouth. However, as soon as he tasted it, he found it bitter and unbearable, and his brow furrowed immediately.

Li Chen laughed out loud and said, "This wild vegetable is called bitter amaranth. It's a local specialty and can't be found outside of Gansu and Shaanxi provinces. It's famous for its bitter and astringent taste, but this dish has the effect of clearing heat and warming the spleen. It's even more effective than ordinary medicine. Although it tastes bitter, it is a good ingredient."

The Emperor Huángjī reluctantly swallowed the bitter herbs, saying: "Good medicine tastes bitter, and honest advice is unwelcome."

"Drink, cheers to life!"

Li Chen raised his cup and clinked it with Huangji Tian.

If you say bitter amaranth is hard to eat, this fiery liquor going down his throat makes Huangji Tian's eyes light up.

"Good wine!" the emperor Huangji praised.

"The twenty-three year old Donggong aged liquor, is naturally a fine wine."

Li Chen patted the wine jar and said, "On this trip out, I only brought five jars. I drank one on the road, and gave two to the soldiers at Yueya Pass. Now there are only two left, all here."

The icy northwest wind of the night was like a razor blade scraping flesh, and the two sat once again atop the towering city wall. The wind howled, and the cold pierced through them, but Emperor Huangji still felt uncomfortable despite having downed several shots of fiery liquor.

He said to Li Chen, "It's such good wine, wouldn't it be a waste to drink it like this"

"Even the finest wine is meant to be drunk. Keeping it like a treasure, never to be tasted, is no different from having none at all." Li Chen countered.

Nodding, Huangji Tian said, "It is so."

The two ate a few bites of food and drank a few sips of wine in silence. Huangji Tian took the initiative to bring up the topic: "Before I came here, I killed a few ignorant people."

Li Chen nodded and poured himself a cup of wine, waiting for Huang Ji Tian to continue.

As expected, Huangji Tian paused for a moment before continuing, "After all, people's hearts are hidden behind their chests. Some people's stances are unyielding and they will continue to cause me trouble."

"But since this has already started, we should see it through to the end."

Huangji Tian raised his head and looked at Li Chen with blazing eyes, saying: “If there were such a person, of high status and with a loyal army following him, if things went wrong, it could easily lead to a mutiny. And even if we won in the end, I would have a lot of trouble upon returning. What do you say, should such a person be killed or not”

Li Chen, hearing this, asked: "Did he block your way"

Huangji Tian Shen said, “Not yet, but I think he will.”
