Reborn as a prince, achieve the pinnacle of power

As the New Year’s bells faded away, the sky over Beijing welcomed a long-lost tranquility on the early morning of New Year’s Day.

A fleet of Audi A8Ls quietly drove through the empty streets, breaking the winter silence.

The headlights cut through the mist, illuminating the snow-covered road and revealing clear tracks.

The hustle and bustle of the city has not yet awakened, with only a few early-rising vehicles shuttling on the road, their engine sounds echoing in the empty streets.

The trees on both sides of the street are covered with snow, and every leaf is covered with crystal icicles. They sway gently in the breeze, making rustling sounds, as if welcoming the arrival of the new year.

The interior of the Audi A8L in the center is extremely quiet at this moment.

After all, he is old, and at the moment Chu Wanjiang, who is relaxed, squinted his eyes, as if he is half asleep.

Young Master Chu leaned back in his chair and looked out the window. After a sleepless night, he was not sleepy at all. He was recalling everything that happened last night in his mind.

"Squeak..."

Before we knew it, the car had stopped steadily in front of the courtyard gate.

"We're home, let's get off."

Chu Wanjiang opened his eyes and greeted Young Master Chu who was standing beside him.

"Yeah, Grandpa."

Young Master Chu nodded, followed the old man out of the car, and reached out to support him as he walked into the courtyard.

Chu Wanjiang walked into the house, turned his head and looked at Young Master Chu, with a complicated look on his face, and then patted him on the shoulder heavily: "Yuchen, well done, Grandpa is proud of you!"

Young Master Chu smiled and said, "Grandpa, you are too kind. This is what I should do."

"Well, he has the sense of responsibility that a man of the Chu family should have."

Chu Wanjiang was happier the more he looked at his grandson, laughing non-stop: "Yuchen, let's go, we've been up all night, let's go drink some wine to relieve our fatigue so we can sleep better later."

Young Master Chu replied with amusement: "Who drinks so early in the morning? You've been with us all night, so you should go to bed early."

After hearing this, Chu Wanjiang smiled and said, "Nonsense, it's everywhere. Some cities along the river in our country still have a popular early drinking culture.

Grandpa is happy today, and it’s the first day of the new year, so how about we have a drink together?”

Young Master Chu thought for a moment and smiled faintly: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"now it's right."

Chu Wanjiang patted his grandson's shoulder heavily, his face flushed with joy, and instructed Zhou Jiangtao who was following behind him: "Xiao Zhou, tell the kitchen to prepare a few dishes and open my bottle of Maotai. The three of us will drink it today."

"Okay, Mr. Chu!"

Zhou Jiangtao replied with a smile and walked out of the hall quickly.

……

After a while.

At the dining table in the restaurant.

meat ball with soy sauce,

Steamed sea bass,

Boiled beef,

Cucumber salad,

Spiced peanuts,

West Lake beef soup.

A few side dishes were placed on the table.

The dish is ordinary but its appearance is exquisite. Although it doesn’t look special, the ingredients are fresh.

Zhou Jiangtao opened a bottle of Moutai of unknown age and poured wine into the glass.

The amber-colored wine poured out, and it seemed really different from the ordinary Moutai. The color was darker, like a crystal clear jade, shining with the luster of time.

The rich aged aroma is long and lasting. It is a complex fragrance that is a mixture of many aromas, including fruity, floral, woody and sauce aromas. It seems like a gift from nature and a gift from time.

Young Master Chu moved his nose and found it indeed refreshing.

Chu Wanjiang boasted to his grandson with a little pride: "This wine was given to me by Emperor Taizong himself when I returned victorious from my military campaign in Annan.

One bottle was consumed at your parents' wedding.

I was going to open this last bottle when you got married. But today is a happy day and it’s New Year’s Day, so let’s finish it.”

"Come, let's have a drink first. I wish Daxia will become better and better, everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, and the country will be prosperous and the people will be strong."

Three glasses of wine were filled. Zhou Jiangtao first took one glass and placed it on the table for the old man, then handed another glass to Young Master Chu.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhou!"

Young Master Chu took the wine glass with both hands.

He sniffed the aroma of the wine, then leaned over and took a sip.

It is soft on the palate and full-bodied, as if a warm current flows down the throat into the stomach, giving people a warm and comfortable feeling.

At the same time, it also has a hint of sweetness and sourness, which perfectly balances the taste of the wine and makes people linger on it.

After drinking a cup, it seems to dispel all the fatigue and worries, and make people feel refreshed.

"Good wine!"

Young Master Chu praised from the bottom of his heart.

Chu Wanjiang's eyes smiled even more when he heard that.

"Come, eat some food first, and then we can talk while we eat."

Young Master Chu picked up the wine bottle and filled the three people's empty glasses. He said solemnly, "Grandpa, you should have something else to tell me."

Chu Wanjiang nodded, chewed the meatball slowly and swallowed it, then his expression turned serious and he said in a serious tone: "Yuchen, you have to be mentally prepared.

Due to the special nature and confidentiality of your scientific research institute, it cannot be located in any city in Daxia...

And, most importantly, I hope you can put aside everything for the time being, including your personal affairs, and focus on making those three weapons."

Chu Yuchen was mentally prepared when she agreed to Zhao Zhigang's request.

But he didn't expect the old man's request to be more direct, which was to let him practice in seclusion.

The day when the three sharp weapons are unsheathed will be the time for him to come out.

The old man made such a serious request, and as a good grandson, how could Mr. Chu shake his head and deny it?

I could only sacrifice my own family for the sake of everyone else, and nodded heavily to agree to the old man's request.

"Well, you are worthy of being a descendant of my Chu family. You have the spirit of sacrificing the small self for the greater good."

Chu Wanjiang stood up excitedly, picked up the bottle of wine, and looked at Chu Yuchen: "Come on, Yuchen, grandpa will toast you a glass and thank you on behalf of the country!"

After saying that, he raised his right hand and drank the wine in the glass.

Chu Yuchen smiled slightly, followed suit, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"Have a meal!"

Chu Wanjiang put down his wine glass, asked Zhou Jiangtao to serve him a bowl of rice, and started eating it with big mouthfuls.

"Ok".

Young Master Chu hummed lightly, sat down, and picked up his chopsticks...
