The words are not speculative for more than half a sentence, and the wine is less than a thousand glasses for a confidant.

Li Xiao and Xue Rengui, two people who are half the age difference, and even people with very different statuses, the more they talk, the more speculative they become.

"Bring me the wine, I must have a drink today." When Xue Rengui was happy to chat, he asked Xue Wu to get the wine. "Bring me the bottle of Sanle Pulp that I treasured."

Xue Wuyi's eyes widened when he heard this. He sat with him for a long time, and he had never seen his father talk so happily with any young man. Now his father wants him to take out the treasure Sanle pulp, this wine is not ordinary, or the imperial wine rewarded by Emperor Taizong after his father became famous in the Liaodong battlefield.

At that time, a total of six bottles of the three pulp were given, and there are still three bottles left after drinking, and my father is usually reluctant to drink a sip, so he often takes it out to see, and then continues to treasure it.

"Dad, there are only three bottles of that wine, why don't you change to Jiannan to burn the spring." Xue Wu knew that the significance of this wine to his father was extraordinary.

"Wine is Chen's fragrance, when you meet an interesting little friend like San Lang, of course you have to drink good wine, don't be verbose, Dad is not stingy, what are you stingy."

"Yes, I'll go get it, it just so happens that I'm also stained with Saburo today, and I can also taste the taste of this good wine." Xue Wu went out with a smile.

Xue Rengui said to Li Xiao, "Do you know why Gorou cares so much about this wine?" ”

"It is estimated that Xue Gong's wine has a great origin." Li Xiao said that as far as he knows, wine is indeed not cheap in this year, cheap wine costs dozens of dollars, and expensive wine is even sold for ten thousand. Moreover, the imperial court often restricts sales, and in the event of a famine or something, it may order a ban on the sale of private liquor to preserve grain.

Li Xiao doesn't like the wine of this era, because there are really not many good wines in this era. Distilled sake is almost non-existent, and rice sake and ale are the mainstay, but there are also a small amount of wine sold from the Western Regions, and even mutton and other sake are popular.

After drinking it once, Li Xiao was not interested.

I heard that Sanle pulp is also a kind of fine wine introduced from the Western Regions, and the price is very expensive. It is said to be a fine wine imported from Persia, and the type is a fruit wine made from three fruits, which is very famous in the Tang Dynasty of Middle-earth and has become a popular fashion drink among the upper class.

But at the end of the day, it's just a fruit wine.

The wine of this year is the same as the tea of this year, it is plausible, and Li Xiao does not like the taste of the Tang people.

Xue Rengui sat there, his hands on his knees, with glory in his eyes, recalling the past of the expedition to Liao.

"Back then, my family was in the middle of the road, and my wife persuaded me to sign up for volunteer service in Goguryeo, in order to gain fame, glorify the family, and restore the glory of the family······"

"At that time, our Lang general Liu Junqiong was surrounded by Goguryeo people, rushing left and right, and he was never able to get out. At that time of crisis, I single-handedly stepped forward, rushed straight to the enemy flag, shot down the Goguryeo general, cut off his head, hung the head on the horse, and let out a long howl, the Goguryeo thieves were frightened, so they retreated, and I also successfully rescued Liu Langjiang from the encirclement. ”

This was a battle in which Xue Rengui became famous on the battlefield of Liaodong, and after this battle, he became famous in the army.

He was also exceptionally promoted to an officer by Liu Lang and became the head of his personal army. After that, he continued to attack the Goguryeo army with his army, and under the city of Anshi, Goguryeo's 250,000 troops were stationed in the mountains to resist the Tang army.

In this battle, Xue Rengui was dressed in white, holding a halberd and a gun, carrying a double bow at his waist, shouting and rushing into battle, invincible, and the Goguryeo army was invincible. The Tang army followed up in a big way, and the Goguryeo army was defeated and beheaded more than 20,000 ranks.

"In that war, our Lang would be the vanguard general, and I would be the vanguard of our army."

Speaking of this excitement, Xue Rengui's face was damp.

After that war, Xue Rengui's name became even more prosperous, and he was even personally received by the emperor, who gave him two horses of horses and forty horses of silk, as well as ten prisoners as slaves, and promoted him to a guerrilla general and a lieutenant of Guoyi in Yunquan Mansion.

"Xue Gong, gold will shine wherever it is, Xue Guang will dare to fight, and sooner or later there will be a time to emerge."

"Hahaha, I like to hear what you say, my official position today, it was all shot down with a knife. Emperor Taizong praised me for using me back then, and now His Majesty also appreciates me and reuses me, and I know that I Xue Rengui is different from many noble generals, and I can sit in today's position, not by virtue of the family shadow, but by my own ability. So, heroes don't ask where they come from. ”

Sanle pulp was brought, and Xue Rengui opened it without saying a word.

"This wine is said to have been brewed by the Persians from three kinds of fruits called Hole, so it is called Sanle pulp. It tastes sweet and sour, but it's better with a little frosting. ”

Xue Rengui picked up the white sugar that Li Xiao brought, and at least a pound of white sugar let him pour it directly into the wine jar.

This kind of bartending method of adding sugar to the wine, Li Xiao stared at it, can this wine still be drunk?

"Boy, you are blessed today, this wine was given by Emperor Taizong when I made meritorious service in Liaodong, and now there are only three bottles left, and after drinking this bottle today, there are only two bottles left."

Looking at the sweetened syrup handed to him, Li Xiao actually didn't want to drink it.

In the end, it was not Xue Rengui's hospitality, so he had to drink it with his eyes closed.

Sour, sweet, and an indescribable strange taste, anyway, Li Xiao felt that it was not as good as Jiang Xiaobai with Sprite or red wine with Sprite.

But looking at Xue Wu's happy appearance of inhaling, he really wanted to say that he had never seen anything good.

"Well, I've never had a good bar like this?" Xue Wudese's way.

Li Xiao nodded and said against his will, "It's true that I've never drunk such wine." ”

"Sanle pulp, the royal gift, my father's treasure, do you know who was last time, Cheng Laoguogong, want my father to give him a bottle of this wine? My father didn't agree in the end, and Cheng Lao Guogong was very faceless. ”

"General Cheng bites Jin?"

"Isn't that old bastard?" Xue Rengui doesn't give much face.

"Xue Gong and Cheng Lao Guogong don't agree?" Li Xiao asked.

"It's not that there is discord, it's that this person sometimes likes to come nonsense, and he likes to rely on his seniority and be old, and he can't do anything. Forget it, don't talk about him, drink and drink, it's rare to be happy today, and you will rest when you get drunk. Xue Rengui said with a cup.

Li Xiao took a small sip and took a sip like drinking medicine, anyway, I met with Xue Rengui today, and we talked very well, and I will be regarded as worshipping the mountain gate in the future, and I can be regarded as having a backer in Chang'an City.

With his back to the mountains to enjoy the shade, there are people in the court who are good officials, Li Xiao didn't think about being an official or anything, but even if he just wants to be a small landlord these days, he has to be covered by someone to be stable.

"San Lang, I like you a lot, why don't you come to my right leading guard?"

Faced with Xue Rengui's sudden olive branch, Li Xiao was surprised.
