Chapter 1347: It Is My Whiskey

"Liu Zheng!" Hearing these two words, Liu Zheng's heart skipped a beat.

He looked into Teresa's eyes, trying hard to find any clue as to whether she had discovered that he was Liu Zheng.

Clearly, there was no such discovery.

"Haha, I am just a small merchant from Longyan; I cannot help you with this matter!" Liu Zheng laughed, brushing it off.

Upon hearing this, Teresa was actually a little disappointed.

She had thought Liu Sheng was too omnipotent; she hadn't expected that a Longyan person, who dared to even strike Franz, would be stirring up trouble in the Duchy of Austria.

She hadn't expected that merchants from Longyan were so outstanding.

"Sigh, Liu Sheng, you should leave the Duchy of Austria quickly," Teresa said with concern.

Count Austin also advised: "That's right, leave quickly."

Liu Zheng was stunned, not understanding why he had to leave, as his Longyan army was docked at the Austrian port.

If something were to really happen, with one order, Liu Zheng truly didn't know if Austria's level could withstand it.

What danger could he possibly be in?

"I won't leave. I am a merchant, and I believe in an old saying from our Longyan: every word is worth a thousand pieces of gold."

"Since I said I would duel Franz, I will absolutely not back down!" Liu Zheng said indifferently.

Count Austin looked at Liu Zheng with a complex expression, thinking to himself that this Longyan person was to his liking, but unfortunately, that old fellow Lorraine would never let Liu Zheng go just to ensure his grandson won.

And he would absolutely stop at nothing.

At this moment, Teresa said: "You Longyan also have an old saying that goes: to know something cannot be done and yet do it anyway—if successful, it is called courage; if defeated, it is the height of foolishness."

"You should understand the meaning of this sentence better than I do."

Liu Zheng certainly understood, but he was not afraid in the slightest.

"How do you know it is 'knowing it cannot be done'?" Liu Zheng laughed.

Teresa's beautiful brows furrowed, and she sighed, not knowing what to do, and could only sigh.

She left helplessly, though she had made up her mind to do her best to protect Liu Zheng's safety while she was still the Grand Duke of Austria.

Before leaving, Count Austin said to Liu Zheng: "Liu Sheng, why don't you move into my castle?"

"It is much safer there than where you are."

Liu Zheng smiled and politely declined; it wasn't that he didn't want to go, but he had his own secrets, and these things absolutely could not be known by others.

Seeing Liu Zheng refuse, Count Austin could not force him, so he could only sigh helplessly and return to his own castle.

Not long after Count Austin returned, Teresa sent guards to patrol the area day and night.

Liu Zheng opened the door to see guards all over his street, and his face instantly darkened.

Xie Chan giggled at his appearance: "See what you can do now?"

"My sister Teresa is still the best, able to passively make you suffer."

Sister?

Liu Zheng was stunned, not expecting Xie Chan to treat Teresa as her sister so quickly: "Hey, I'm helping Teresa so much, aren't you jealous?"

Xie Chan blinked her large eyes and said: "Why would I be jealous? That is my sister, and she is also a promoter of monogamy."

"Let me tell you, don't you even think about having any other ideas about her."

Liu Zheng was stunned, watching Xie Chan, who had put on Austrian Noble attire again, a flash of brilliance in his eyes...

He pounced on Xie Chan and laughed: "I don't have any ideas about her, but I do have..."

Liu Zheng whispered into Xie Chan's ear, laughing.

"Many ideas about you."

"Disgusting..." Xie Chan said shyly.

From evening until late at night, Liu Zheng finally climbed off Xie Chan and looked at the silent, empty street outside.

He put on his clothes and slipped out quietly.

He walked through Vienna with an oil lamp for who knows how long,

and seeing a tavern still open late at night, he walked inside.

Inside were some Austrian beauties, lit by faint candlelight, and after they saw Liu Zheng enter,

their eyes brightened, but then they noticed the item at Liu Zheng's waist, and their hearts immediately sank.

This guy is not to be trifled with!

Liu Zheng scanned the room coldly, his gaze finally landing on the tavern owner.

"Give me a whiskey."

The owner was stunned, then walked inside.

At this time, that person walked over with a glass of whiskey and said indifferently: "Your whiskey."

Liu Zheng was speechless, but could only say: "It is my whiskey."

That person smiled, sat down beside Liu Zheng, and took off his hat.

Liu Zheng looked at the person's face; it was none other than Prince Yong, who had vanished without a trace after the Longyan army occupied the Austrian port.

"How is the secret code I designed?" Prince Yong looked excited.

Liu Zheng was speechless; this secret code sounded just like some well-known advertisement.

He immediately changed the subject: "The piece of music by Yousefu, did you give it to him?"

Prince Yong nodded.

Earlier, when Liu Zheng was drinking coffee at the coffee house, he suddenly heard the piece Yousefu was playing and felt something was wrong; later, when he thought about it, wasn't this a Longyan tune?

It had just been rearranged into a Violin piece.

It was at that moment that Liu Zheng knew Prince Yong had already arrived in Vienna.

However, it was not Prince Yong who contacted Liu Zheng today, but Liu Zheng who took the initiative to contact Prince Yong.

"Tell the brothers they can move, but don't go too fast; I don't want a pile of ruins, nor do I want to rule this broken place, do you understand?"

Prince Yong nodded, indicating that he understood.

Meanwhile, the Duke of Lorraine recruited a group of desperadoes at a high price in his castle.

After Franz also saw these people here, he incidentally understood his grandfather's intention: as long as Liu Zheng died.

Where would there be any duel, and where would there be any victory or defeat?

By then, even if Teresa did not submit, he could use the family to force pressure, and there was also that Longyan man's wife, Yue Chan.

Franz already imagined what those two women would look like beneath him.

At this moment, apart from Poland, Europe was still in a state of calm.

But at this moment, America was plunged into major turmoil.

Just as Qingyang Shuo expected, after Longyan refused to trade with France, France, unwilling to be trapped to death in America, immediately launched a war.

Britain had wanted to sit back and reap the benefits, but did not expect that Qingyang Shuo would divert the disaster elsewhere.

France and Britain fought fiercely over that mineral vein, and although France won.

It served as the beginning, and Britain and France started a war in America.

Both sides had deep-seated grievances, and once they started fighting, it became uncontrollable; they almost even forgot the culprit who started this war, City Lord Qingyang Shuo of Longyan City, who was still sitting securely in the City Lord Mansion.

Looking at the case files, he fell into deep thought; although this war had broken out, countless refugees had emerged, and they knew that only Longyan City was still somewhat safe now.

But Longyan City could not accept so many refugees.

Just at this time, Qin Zhangfeng rode at full speed from the south of America, Longyan's second city in America, and hurried back.

"Qingyang Xiansheng, there is a problem with the Canal."
