Chapter 202: The Use of Alcohol

Li Xiu didn't expect that Wang Xianling was about to leave, but he suddenly turned around and had a few words to say, which he was also a little surprised, but finally nodded and said: "Wang Xianling has something to say, please speak!" ”

At this time, Wang Xianling hesitated again, and finally spoke: "Li Xianjiu, I heard that you are a person who has no intention of fame, in this case, it is best not to get too close to His Royal Highness the King of Qin, now the prince and the King of Qin are fighting endlessly, and if you are not careful, you may be implicated, and it is not easy to get out of the way!" ”

Li Xiu couldn't help but glance at Wang Xianling in surprise when he heard this, no wonder as soon as Li Shimin came in just now, he immediately stood up and said goodbye, now that he thinks about it, he definitely doesn't want to be involved with Li Shimin, you must know that he is just a small county order, and a little turmoil in the court may make his bones gone.

"Thank you for the reminder!" Li Xiu solemnly saluted Wang Xian Ling at this time, and when they met for the first time, it was very rare for people to be able to say this to him.

"Li Xianjiu is polite, Wang has only admired Li Xianjiu for a long time, and when I saw it today, he was really a rare young handsome, I hope Li Xianjiu will not be involved in the rights and wrongs in the court!" Wang Xianling also told the truth at this time, although he was only a small county magistrate, he was quite clear about the situation in the court, and he also admired Li Xiu very much, and he didn't want such an excellent young man to be ruined in the party struggle.

After Wang Xianling finished speaking, he saluted Li Xiu again, and then turned around and got on the horse, and disappeared into the wind and snow in the blink of an eye, and Li Xiu kept a saluting posture at this time until the other party disappeared, and then he straightened up and sighed lightly, even Wang Xianling felt the fierceness of the battle in the court, which shows that the battle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin was fierce.

At that moment, Li Xiu turned around and returned home, only to see that Li Shimin and Cheng Yanjin were already sitting in the hall, the remnants of the table just now had been removed, and Yuechan was directing a few maids to serve the food again, just waiting for Li Xiu to enter the table.

"His Royal Highness King Qin has worked hard all the way, I don't know what to call this general?" Li Xiu walked to the table with a smile and sat down, then looked at the bearded general sitting next to Li Shimin and said, the people who can let Li Shimin take him with him are definitely not ordinary people, at least at Qin Qiong's level, such a person Li Xiu doesn't want to miss.

"Haha~, Li Saijiu is polite, under the surname Cheng Ming, and later renamed Zhijie, but I still like the original name, if Li Saijiu is willing, it will be called my Lao Cheng!" Cheng Biting Jin said with a big grin, but since he came in, he has been observing Li Xiu, and the others have not been seen for the time being, but judging from Li Xiu's attitude towards King Qin, it seems that he doesn't care about Li Shimin's identity at all, but treats him as an ordinary friend, and this alone is not something that ordinary people can do.

"Cheng bites gold!" Li Xiu was taken aback again when he heard this familiar name, and then looked the other party up and down, if the most impressive character in the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, I am afraid it will be this Cheng Biting Jin, and even the entire Romance is almost connected by the character of Cheng Biting Jin, Cheng Biting Jin's three-plate axe is even more well-known, for him Li Xiu has long wanted to see him, but unfortunately I heard that he has been guarding outside, but he didn't expect to see each other in this situation.

"It turned out to be General Cheng, I heard the general's name early in the morning, and I saw it today and was really brave!" It took Li Xiu a moment to come to his senses, and immediately saluted Cheng Biting Jin.

"Haha~, Li Saijiu is too polite, with Uncle Bao here, I can't afford the word bravery!" Cheng Yanjin was also very happy when he heard Li Xiu's praise and said modestly, Li Xiu was not so enthusiastic when he saw King Qin just now, which also made him feel flattered.

When she spoke, Yuechan had already put the dishes on the table, and Li Xiu saw that what was prepared on the table was just ordinary wine, so he stood up again and said, "Your Highness and General Cheng will wait for a while, I'll go get some wine!" ”

It's rare to meet such a childhood idol as Cheng Yanjin, Li Xiu naturally can't slack off, not to mention that now it's snowing heavily, it's the time to drink spirits, but it's a pity that Wang Xianling is also a person who doesn't like to drink like Li Xiu just now.

After a while, Li Xiu took out his treasured liquor from the warehouse, there are not a few jars of this kind of liquor, and they are all very small jars, and now there are only three jars left, and it is estimated that they will have to drink all of them until next year.

Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he saw the wine jar that Li Xiu took out, and then blamed Li Xiu: "Okay, it turns out that you still have this kind of good wine, you were only willing to take it out once when I came before, and then asked you how many times you asked you and you refused to take it out again, but I didn't expect that today I was able to drink such a good wine thanks to the blessing of Zhijie!" ”

"Hehe, there are not many of this kind of wine left, and the longer this wine is stored, the more mellow it becomes, today His Royal Highness just came from afar, and together with General Cheng, and it is still snowing heavily, otherwise I am really reluctant to take it out." Li Xiu said honestly, not to mention Li Shimin, he was a little reluctant to even ask Ma Ye for him, not that he was stingy, but that he wanted to save a few jars of wine and use it when he married Princess Pingyang in the future.

"Stingy! You don't drink it yourself, why do you save such good wine? Li Shimin said and reached out to grab the wine jar in Li Xiu's hand, slapped the mud seal on it and opened it, and as a result, an attractive aroma of wine immediately poured out, which attracted Cheng Yanjin on the other side to sniff directly, he is also a good wine person, and he asked himself that he had almost drunk all the fine wine in the world, but it was the first time he smelled such fragrant wine.

At that moment, Li Shimin first filled himself up, and personally poured wine for Cheng Yanjin, and then the two of them raised their glasses almost at the same time, and then drank it all, Li Shimin poured it, after all, he had drunk this kind of wine before, but to Li Xiu's surprise, Cheng Yanjin should have drunk such a strong wine for the first time, but he didn't make a fool of himself, but shouted: "Good wine, this is the wine that people drink!" ”

"General Cheng is really a good amount of wine, he can get used to such a strong wine!" Seeing Cheng biting Jin's appearance, Li Xiu couldn't help but say with some admiration.

"Haha, what is this, the kind of alcohol in the army is called a strong ...... Uh......" Cheng Yanjin suddenly said that he missed his mouth in a fit of gratification, and it was in front of Li Shimin, so he hurriedly covered his mouth at the moment, it is a felony to secretly drink alcohol in the army!

"Hmph, the alcohol is so strong, you can even go down your mouth!" Li Shimin couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he heard this, alcohol was originally used to clean wounds, but some soldiers in the army found that alcohol can be drunk as wine, and it is more enjoyable than ordinary wine, as a result, some people steal alcohol to drink, and even some people actually hurt themselves in order to get alcohol, which also makes Li Shimin very annoyed, for which he has rectified military discipline several times, but he didn't expect his favorite general Cheng Yanjin to also steal alcohol to drink.

"Hehe, how does Your Highness know that alcohol is strong?" Cheng Yanjin smiled cheekily at this time, and seized a loophole in Li Shimin's words. As a result, this also made Li Shimin's old face red, in fact, he was also very greedy in the army, and he once secretly drank it once, thinking that he would not be known, but he didn't expect to leak his mouth.

"Haha, you can drink alcohol, I really admire you, but you can't drink too much of that thing, otherwise you will vomit blood!" Li Xiu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, he hadn't seen anyone else drink alcohol in his previous life, but he had seen someone drink Qinghe Daqu with more than 70 degrees in the wine field, and he blew on the bottle, but he vomited blood in the end, and it took half a day to save his life in the hospital.

"That's right, the alcohol in the army is used to save lives, and the taste is too strong, ordinary people can't stand it after drinking a small glass, and the alcohol is not as good as the wine here is not as mellow as Li Sai Wine!" Cheng Yanjin also generously admitted at this time, anyway, even Li Shimin had secretly drunk alcohol, which can be regarded as the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked.

Speaking of alcohol in the army, Li Xiu is also quite concerned about this matter, because since the distiller was taken away by Ma Ye, the imperial court has set up a special alcohol workshop, and outsiders usually don't know the situation inside, and Li Xiu doesn't know how much alcohol is promoted in the army, so he just took this opportunity to ask Li Shimin about it.

Li Shimin also knew that the alcohol came from Li Xiu's hands, so he did not hide it, and told the matter of alcohol again, according to him, now the alcohol is mainly rationed to the border army in the north, although now the Tang Dynasty and the Turks are still calm, but some small conflicts are still continuous, and the border army also has casualties from time to time, with these alcohol, you can save the lives of many soldiers.

In addition, limited by the production of grain, the output of alcohol has not been able to rise, and the imperial court is not willing to spend too much food on it, so the alcohol in the army has been in a state of shortage, which is why he strictly investigated the situation of stealing alcohol in the army, of course, he can't even control his own mouth, let alone others, it is estimated that this situation will always exist in the army.

Li Xiu couldn't help but feel a little regretful when he heard this, in the final analysis, it was still a matter of food, which also made him miss the bearded guests even more, and he didn't know when they would be able to come back, if they could bring back high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes and potatoes earlier, where would he still need to hide a little distilled liquor as a treasure, and no one would care how much he wanted to brew at that time.

Li Xiu and Li Shimin chatted while eating, and the topic slowly shifted from the army to Chang'an's side, don't look at Li Shimin in the north, but he knows everything about Chang'an, and even knows the conflict between Li Xiu and Chai Shao, and he is also very interested in Li Xiu's method of destroying Dong'an Casino, but unfortunately no matter how he knocks on the side, Li Xiu just pretends to be stupid and doesn't say anything, and doesn't even admit that he did it at all, anyway, Li Shimin has no evidence, which makes him very helpless.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Shimin was also slightly drunk, and then he suddenly spoke: "Li Xiu, you should have heard about the affairs of the court, what do you think about this matter?" (To be continued.) )
