Bai Zhi's eyes lit up, yes, she didn't expect that they had also heard about King Xiao in the teahouse before, and maybe they could hear about the battlefield on the border in the teahouse.
The three hurried to the teahouse. The weather was cold, and the business in the teahouse was getting better, and there were almost no seats.
The dude had to arrange them on a big table and join the other two.
Both of them were men in their early forties, and they looked very kind. Seeing that they blushed and the dude hadn't come for tea again, he hurriedly gave them two bowls of his hot tea.
Bai Zhi repeatedly thanked. At this time, the gentleman on the stage was talking about anecdotes, and no one around was discussing the war on the border. She was a little disappointed, but not reconciled, so she started talking with the two men at the same table.
"Are the two uncles locals?" Their dresses are different from those in Qingyuan Town, and their accents are also somewhat different.
The man with a mustache said: "We are from Kyoto. We are here to deliver goods. We will leave tomorrow. To be honest, it is much colder here than in Kyoto. I can't sleep in a cold night."
Bai Zhi smiled and nodded: "Don't say you feel cold when you come from Kyoto, even our locals feel cold, not all of them come to the teahouse to keep warm."
There are many people in the tea house, the windows for ventilation are covered with quilts, and there is a small stove warming tea on each table, the temperature is naturally much warmer than outside.
The man smiled and said, "Who said no!"
Bai Zhi asked again: "Aren't you afraid of coming from such a great distance in Kyoto?"
The man laughed: "What are we two big men afraid of?"
"War is going on in the northwest, and it's not far from the border. I heard that many merchants are reluctant to come here to deliver goods, because they are afraid that there will be war and the money will be empty."
The man in the royal blue jacket took the conversation and said, "It seems you don't know yet."
Bai Zhi asked hurriedly: "What do you know?"
The two men looked at each other and smiled, and then said: "The King Jin is back, and our Lord of War of Chu is back. Now he has regained control of the Northwest Army and even broke the enemy in the West. The victory was sent to the palace. People in Kyoto have long been spread."
She squeezed her clothes tightly, and the little heart in her chest throbbed. "So we have won the war? The war in the Northwest has stopped?"
The man immediately waved his hand: "Although we have fought several victories in succession, the war hasn't stopped. Xiye committed my heart to the heart of Chu, and kept sending reinforcements to support. This battle, and some are fought."
Su'e asked anxiously, "Well, how long will it take?"
The man looked at Su'e a little strangely. The woman's expression was too abnormal, as if fighting had a lot to do with her. As a common citizen, it was enough to live his own life well. What do you do with all these nostalgia? Still a womanly family.
Although he was puzzled in his heart, he still said truthfully: "No one knows how long it will take. I heard that His Royal Highness Jin and the army of Xiyeguo had been entangled for two full years before the Xiyeguo was forced to retreat completely, but who knows, This hasn't stopped for a few years, and we have committed a large number of crimes again, trying to seize the rich and fertile mountains and rivers of our Great Chu Kingdom."
Bai Zhi held Su'e's hand under the table and motioned to her to calm down, so as not to let people see what was wrong.
Su'e took a deep breath, suppressed the panic and anxiety in her heart, and drank the tea on the table pretending to be calm, but her pale face and slightly trembling hands all betrayed her heart.
