The sky has fallen, and the moon is hanging high. Smoke has risen from the dwellings in Qingzhou City, and the pavilion near the government is even brightly lit and full of people. This is the place where Sun Tu held a banquet to entertain Zeng Kaiqian, the supervisor who had just arrived in Qingzhou.

Today, except for a few generals who have responsibilities and need to stay in the barracks or the city, almost all of the civil and military officials in Qingzhou are present, which can be said to have given the prison enough face. The wine and food are also the most local and military characteristics of large bowls of wine and large pieces of meat, which is really thoughtful and polite.

However, this in front of Zeng Shilang made him a little difficult to swallow or even chopsticks, as a scholar, he has always eaten delicately and lightly, even if he drinks, he is only a small pot of hot and friends to drink, where have I seen such an unrestrained and unbridled way of eating, just look at the following generals continue to stuff meat into their mouths, chewing until their mouths are full of oil, it makes it difficult for him to have any appetite.

That's it, the most headache for him is that those generals keep bringing wine bowls to pay respect, everyone is out of kindness, but he can't refuse, so he can only accompany him to drink. But even if he relied on his identity every time he tasted it, he couldn't stand the fact that there were too many people who came up, and he had already drunk four or five bowls of wine in less than half an hour, and the whole person was already dizzy, and his stomach was turned upside down, and it seemed that he might be ugly at any time.

He actually knew that this was deliberately targeted by Sun Tu and others, but the experience in the officialdom made it difficult for him to have a seizure for a while, not to mention that he was still counting on being able to give a good impression to the generals, so as to pave the way for future wooing, so even if he was unwilling, he could only pinch his nose and keep pouring wine at this time.

At this time, another stout and tall general stepped forward with a large bowl: "The prison army is really massive, come, Sprinkler Luda also respects you with a bowl." As he spoke, he had drunk all the big bowls of wine, and then stared at Zeng Kaiqian with a pair of copper bell-like bull's eyes, even if he pretended to have taken a sip of the bowl, he still had no intention of leaving, the intention was obvious, that is, he wanted to watch the other party drink all the big bowls.

Now Zeng Kaiqian was bitter in his heart, he knew very well that he had reached the limit, if he poured such a big bowl of wine, I am afraid that he would immediately vomit a mess, and this ugliness would be decided. But he had also heard Sun Tu introduce him before, this Luda is a general who is very popular in the Qingzhou army, so how can he casually show his face? The only way was to give Lu Qian beside him a look, hoping that he would come forward to solve the siege.

Lu Qian is really sitting on pins and needles at this banquet today, unlike Zeng Kaiqian, since the banquet has been held, no civil and military official has symbolically toasted him, and when his eyes swept around, he could always see a lot of eyes full of contempt, disdain and resentment sweeping towards him, making him sit at the banquet like a year, this feeling is really uncomfortable.

He was a little distracted, and he didn't notice Zeng Kaiqian's eyes at all, until someone behind him pulled down the hem of his clothes to remind him slightly, he suddenly came over, and hurriedly raised the wine bowl and said: "This general, he is not strong enough to supervise the army, so this bowl of wine will be drunk by the lower officials." ”

Just when he raised the bowl and was about to drink it, Ruda over there suddenly snorted coldly: "You are also worthy?" It was really a complete disgrace, which made Lu Qian's movements stop suddenly, and he didn't know what to do. It was only at this time that he realized that the toasting general was the person who had been very hostile to the city gate before, which made him feel even more empty, and his expression was a little flustered.

Zeng Kaiqian's face sank sharply when he saw this: "This general's words are too much, Marquis Lu Yu is the deputy of the official, and he will also serve in the army in the future, that is, your colleagues, why don't you even deserve to toast?" Even if he was a little dissatisfied with Lu Qian, he had to stand up and speak for him at this time.

This made Luda a little unsure of how to deal with it, he was just not angry with Lu Qian's character, so he subconsciously wanted to make him ugly, but he didn't want to be caught talking. Seeing that he was deflated, Sun Tu could only come forward: "The prison army misunderstood, Lu Yuhou didn't mean to look down on Lu Yuhou, he said that he was not worthy of it, and since it was definitely not enough for him to substitute one glass of wine, how could he have three glasses." Lu Yuhou, am I right? ”

Sun Tu's words immediately brought Luda back to his senses, and immediately changed his words: "Yes, this is what the Sprinkle family means, can Marquis Lu Yu dare to respect me for three bowls?" "Well, when I came to him, I went from drinking three bowls to respecting each other three bowls, and immediately doubled again.

Lu Qian had no choice at this time, so he could only bite the bullet and nodded: "Since it is the order of the supervising army, the subordinate officials should do their best." ”

"Okay, bring the wine, let me have a drink with Lu Yuhou!" Ruda suddenly shouted with joy. At that moment, someone sent two large jars of wine, and he didn't talk nonsense, he directly filled his empty wine bowl with another bowl, drank it with a dudu, drank it again, and then showed the other party to drink.

When Lu Qian was in the capital, he had never seen such a fierce drinking guy, and his eyes were a little straight. But at this time, many generals around him were all clamoring, constantly urging him to drink quickly, but he had no choice but to pour wine according to Luda's appearance, and hurriedly went down three bowls of wine, and he was a little dazed.

Lu Qian's own alcohol consumption is far less than that of Luda, and he almost didn't touch chopsticks because he was depressed before, resulting in an empty stomach. Now he drank three bowls of wine in a hurry, even if this wine was not as strong as the future generations, it was like putting a few fires in his stomach for him, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

But how could Ruda just let him go, seeing that he had finished drinking, he said again: "Okay, the Sprinkler family has drunk all the wine to you, and then it's time for you to salute the Sprinkler family, right?" It's also three bowls, come on. ”

"I ......" Lu Qian wanted to refuse, but when he swept around, everyone stared at him strangely, and Lu Da then said: "Why, Lu Yuhou is from Jingshi, so he can't look down on me and other local generals, and he doesn't even refuse to toast?" At this time, he could no longer refuse, so he could only muster up the last bit of courage, poured wine into his wine bowl with a trembling hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Then let the lower officials also respect Lu Yuhou for three bowls......

After another three bowls, Lu Qian's hands and feet were suddenly sore, and he suddenly lay on the wine table, and was put down by Luda. And this once again attracted a burst of laughter from the surrounding generals, and the laughter reached Zeng Kaiqian's ears, which also made his face change again. Obviously, the other party did it on purpose, just to make himself and his subordinates embarrassed, and he was on the verge of getting drunk, but he couldn't let Sun Tu and them control the situation anymore.

Thinking of this, he immediately had an idea, there are many drinking habits among colleagues in Beijing, why don't you bring it up? With these martial artists who don't know a basket of big words, they are enough to deal with it. In this way, not only do you not have to drink anymore, but you can also pick up the face you just lost.

With the idea set, he didn't wait for anyone to come forward to toast, looked at Sun Tu in the main seat and said, "Sun Dujian, it's really boring for me to drink so dryly, why don't you think of some means to help the wine?" ”

Sun Tu saw his eyes flashing, and immediately understood his intentions, once he really wanted to compose a poem couplet, the dozens of people here, including himself, could not be the opponent of this Jinshi-born squire of the dynasty, so he hurriedly nodded before the other party explained the topic: "What the prison army said is very true, we are all in the army, how can drinking be without martial arts?" Come on, clear the venue, and ask people to dance the sword to help the fun! ”

This made Zeng Kaiqian dumbfounded, I didn't mean that, I wanted a drinking order...... However, with Sun Tu's order, the people around him had already acted quickly, quickly clearing out a clearing, and then a tall general had already hugged his sword and went down, and after saluting Sun Tu and Zeng Kaiqian, he opened his posture and danced the long sword in his hand.

In fact, there have been sword dances with wine since ancient times, the most famous of which is the sword dance of Gongsun Auntie in the Tang Dynasty, for which even Du Fu has composed a poem that has been handed down to future generations. Although the posture of the general dancing the sword is far less subtle than that of the legendary characters, it is better than the sharp and crisp, and each sword can be seen to have the effect of killing the enemy, and everyone around him applauded, that is, Sun Tu nodded frequently: "I can't imagine that Dong Ping is not only invincible with two guns, but also so good at sword kung fu." ”

And as if he had been instructed by some people, Dong Ping always kept Zeng Kaiqian around when he danced his sword, and several times the tip of the sword was about to touch the other party's body, which frightened him so much that his face turned from red to white, and the little wine he drank just now was almost turned into a cold sweat and discharged.

It was only at this time that he suddenly woke up, how dangerous his situation was, if Sun Tu really had the intention of attacking him, in the case of Qingzhou in his hands, with only one sentence, his life could be lost at any time. And today's reception banquet is to put it bluntly, that is the Hongmen banquet, Xiang Zhuang is dancing the sword at this moment, but where will Xiang Bo stand up to save himself?

At this moment, Zeng Kaiqian was really frightened, staring at Dong Ping, who was dancing with a sword not far away, and always felt that he might be assassinated with a sword at any time - if he knew this, it would be better to get drunk and make this ugly ......

As much as he regretted, there was Luda, and at this time he couldn't help but say to Wu Song, who was still eating and drinking beside him: "I knew that there was this one, I shouldn't have poured that guy down just now." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Wu Song asked curiously.

Luda glanced at Dong Ping, who was still dancing the sword: "Then I can play on behalf of Dong Dujian, and then call that Lu Qian's dog thief to fight in front of me." At that time, I can slaughter him with my own hands and avenge the revenge of the head of the Lin sect that day! "Okay, he's still thinking about killing Lu Qian.
