Chapter 119: Trouble Outside the City? An Ambush!

As the manager of Xianniangfang, no one knew the production costs of this wine better than Li Quan.

It is no exaggeration to say that if it were really sold at Zhu Gaoxi's price, two bottles of wine would cover the cost of a month's worth of brewing.

This isn't even profiteering; this is pure robbery!

As if seeing through Li Quan's shock, Zhu Gaoxi smiled and said, "Do you think it's expensive?"

Li Quan did not speak, but his eyes had already said everything.

It wasn't just expensive; it was expensive to the extreme.

This time, Zhu Gaoxi patiently said to Li Quan, "Not to mention anything else, just look at our glass bottles—they are treasures. What is the price of colored glaze outside? That is a treasure that enters the palace; are our glass bottles necessarily cheaper than colored glaze?"

"Secondly, not to mention our wine, which is already rare, high-quality wine in this world, just consider one point: this wine has been drunk by the Emperor, and he even praised it highly!"

"Do you think this wine is worth the money?"

"And I'll tell you, even if you have money, you might not be able to buy it. There will be a quota for each type of wine every month. For the first three months, we will open up the market first, and if the results are good, I plan to implement a membership system."

After saying this, Zhu Gaoxi paused, knowing he had digressed, and immediately continued, "Remember, after we open, besides the one thousand bottles of wine in ordinary bottles that can be sold each month, the other two types of wine cannot exceed one thousand in total."

"When there are too many good things, even the best things become worthless. We are taking the high-end route. Whether it's princes, ministers, or wealthy landlords and big merchants, this is what we are targeting."

"For these people, face is more important than money. You have been a manager for so many years; you should understand what I mean."

Hearing Zhu Gaoxi say this, Li Quan understood, but he was still somewhat skeptical about whether it could actually be sold at such a high price.

Zhu Gaoxi couldn't be bothered to explain further to Li Quan. Seeing that there was nothing going on at Xianniangfang, Zhu Gaoxi got up and left.

At the moment, basically every matter was on the right track, with specialized personnel managing each place.

Xianniangfang had Li Quan, the Military Camp had Mao Xiang, the Divine Weapon Battalion had Yan Zhenzhi, and he had also arranged for a steward servant to manage the glass factory.

In fact, for many things, he had only provided a plan and participated at most at the beginning; later on, there was basically nothing that required his management.

They say that having nothing to do makes one feel light and free, but Zhu Gaoxi was clearly a person who couldn't stay idle.

Just as Zhu Gaoxi was thinking about what else to do, a person dressed as a Wangfu servant came stumbling toward him.

"Your... Your Highness, it's bad! Something happened outside the city!"

"Something happened outside the city?"

Seeing the servant panting and looking terrified, Zhu Gaoxi stepped forward and asked, "Don't be anxious, what exactly happened?"

"Little Prince, don't ask anymore. You'll know once you go."

The servant was clearly very anxious, and his voice was already choked with sobs.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxi frowned, but he didn't continue to ask. He took Ada and the others behind him and walked quickly toward the outside of the city.

Along the way, Zhu Gaoxi was also pondering in his heart.

If something happened outside the city, it could only be the Military Camp or the glass factory.

If it were the Military Camp, it would be fine; after all, there were over two thousand people, and Mao Xiang was there. Even if something happened, Mao Xiang could handle it completely.

But if something happened at the glass factory, it would be troublesome.

Thinking this, Zhu Gaoxi's pace involuntarily quickened.

At this moment, he felt a bit secretly annoyed that he hadn't taken his Feudatory Prince Carriage; even riding two horses from the Military Camp would have been better!

Although he was anxious, there were still a few points Zhu Gaoxi couldn't figure out.

But seeing that they had already left the city and were getting closer and closer to the Military Camp, Zhu Gaoxi endured and did not ask again.

But just as they were about to reach the Military Camp, the servant suddenly stopped and then ran crazily toward the side.

Zhu Gaoxi hadn't reacted yet, but Ada and the others were worthy of being professionals. Seeing that something was wrong, they instantly surrounded Zhu Gaoxi.

It was only then that Zhu Gaoxi realized there might be danger.

And just as they expected, as the servant ran away, more than a dozen burly men suddenly rushed out from the surrounding woods.

These people held swords and blades, their footsteps light, and as soon as they appeared, they surrounded Zhu Gaoxi and the others.

Ada and the others clearly felt that these people were extraordinary, so they immediately looked solemn and stared fixedly at them.

Zhu Gaoxi also saw these people outside through the gaps.

With just one glance, Zhu Gaoxi knew the identity of the other party.

People of the Jianghu!

There was no other reason; these people were dressed in all sorts of ways—some dressed as Daoist priests, some as ordinary commoners, and others clearly wearing strange and exotic clothes.

Seeing this, a name flashed through Zhu Gaoxi's mind.

Hu Weiyong!

After all, he was too familiar with this routine, and the location wasn't even far; if they walked a bit further, it would be the Royal Hunting Ground.

The same old place, the same old opponent, and the people who came were still the same old type.

Zhu Gaoxi subconsciously clenched his fists.

He had been practicing the Nianhua Finger for some time now; it was just the right time to see how effective it was!

Zhu Gaoxi had previously had no comparison for his own strength, and now that people had been delivered to his doorstep, he had no reason not to try.
