Zheng Bao met Yuan Jiang on the second floor of the Yuelai Inn, and there were two guards standing beside him: Bu Feiyan and Xiang Yao. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Ye walked into the room first and introduced the two distinguished guests to each other, "General Zheng, this is Lord Liu Quan, the messenger of Caozhou Mu, Lord Liu, this is General Zheng Bao Zheng." ”

Yuan Jiang just smiled, while Zheng Bao grabbed Yuan Jiang's hand excitedly, "Lord Envoy, I have come to Yi County, I have not been able to welcome you from afar, and I ask the Lord Messenger to forgive me." ”

"Don't worry." Yuan Jiang shook his head and waved his right hand on the dining table, "No, Mr. Ziyang has taken care of it for you." ”

"That's true." Zheng Bao turned his head and patted Liu Ye on the shoulder, "Mr. Ziyang, you are much more thoughtful than General Ben, I really have to thank you." ”

Liu Ye waved his hand, "What did General Zheng say, you have a lot of opportunities, and it is normal that you can't take care of this little thing, besides, this ushering is what I, the master bookkeeper, should do, where can I thank you?" ”

Yuan Jiang spread his hands, hugged the two of them falsely, and said, "Come, let's sit down and talk." ”

After the host and guest sat down, Liu Ye instructed Xiao Er to serve wine, but he didn't think that Zheng Bao said: "Xiao Er, bring me new tea after the rain in Hugu." ”

Liu Ye and Yuan Jiang glanced at each other and whispered to Zheng Bao: "General Zheng, this Lord Liu is a person who loves wine, why don't you have a drink with him today?" ”

Zheng Baolang laughed and said: "Recently, bandits have been rampant, often looting towns, several villages under our Anhui County have suffered from it, in order to deal with such troubles, the general specially ordered the sergeants to be stationed at the city gate all day, under the strict guard, this is a little better, tonight, the general has to go to check the camp, so I can't accompany the envoy to have a good drink, but Mr. Ziyang can do it for you." ”

Yuan Jiang asked: "General Zheng, is this looking down on you?" ”

Zheng Bao asked suspiciously, "I don't know why the envoy said this?" ”

Playing with the wine glass in his hand, Yuan Jiang said: "Mr. Ziyang also said just now, I don't have any other habits, I love the wine in this cup, and I must drink a few glasses before intersecting with others." But General Zheng actually wants to replace wine with tea, isn't this looking down on him, what is it? ”

Seeing that Yuan Jiang's face was a little displeased, Zheng Bao hurriedly said: "The envoy is serious, this general is really inconvenient to drink. ”

Liu Ye on the side persuaded: "General, since the envoys have spoken, if you don't drink some more, won't you give him face?" If Cao Zhoumu knew about this, it would be a big deal. Please think again, general. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Zheng Bao finally gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

When the three of Yuan Jiang were talking, Bu Feiyan walked aside and told Xiao Er to let him serve the strongest wine in the shop, and gave him the same money.

After receiving the money, Xiao Er walked out happily and served Yuan Jiang the strongest pot of wine.

After the liquor was brought in, Bu Feiyan hurriedly gave Yuan Jiang a look, and the latter bowed his head slightly, picked up the wine jug, and symbolically filled himself with a glass, and then walked in front of Zheng Bao and said with a smile: "General Zheng, today I borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and I will give you a cup." ”

"Your Excellency, how dare you pour wine?" Zheng Bao hurriedly picked up the wine glass, and gave Liu Ye a look, "Mr. Ziyang, you should come to this wine business, don't you dare to work the envoy." ”

Liu Ye nodded, and before he could make a move, he was pushed back to his seat by Yuan Jiang and sat back down, he said: "Since we are at this wine table, there is no distinction between the host and the guest, and whoever drinks is the same, besides, I am greedy for a cup, and the wine pot will never leave my hand for a moment, so such a trivial matter, Mr. Lao Ziyang will not do it." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Jiang snatched the wine glass from Zheng Bao's hand, filled it for him, and then pushed it into his hand, "Come, General Zheng, you and I will drink this cup together." ”

Looking at a full glass of wine, Zheng Bao's lips were a little bitter, but Yuan Jiang's hospitality was difficult, he could only pick up the wine glass and drink it all on his back, while Yuan Jiang took advantage of him to drink, and threw the wine in his cup behind his head. ”

He had never drunk such a strong wine, Zheng Bao only felt that there were 10,000 poisonous snakes spitting out letters through his throat and falling into his stomach, and it was stirred again, and the spicy feeling rushed straight to his nostrils, which made his eyebrows wrinkle tightly together, but when he saw Yuan Jiang's admiration, he hurriedly restrained his expression, and then sighed: "It's indeed good wine, but it's a little strong." ”

Yuan Jiang patted him on the shoulder and exclaimed, "Only spirits are worthy of heroes, come, General Zheng, let's have another drink." ”

Seeing that Yuan Jiang actually wanted to pour him wine, Zheng Bao hurriedly covered his wine glass, pointed to the untouched delicacies on the table, and smiled bitterly, "Lord Messenger, let me have a bite to eat first, and then I will accompany you to have a drink." ”

After speaking, when he reached out to go to the chopsticks, he was stopped by Yuan Jiang, and he said, "General Zheng, you can eat if you want, but this cup has to be drunk, right?" Otherwise, wouldn't this wine be drunk without a head and no brains? ”

Zheng Bao asked suspiciously, "Dare to ask the envoy, what does this cup say?" General Ben had never heard of it. ”

Without waiting for Yuan Jiang to speak, Liu Ye on the side took over the conversation, "This cup is a rule set by people who practice wine, as long as it is a person at the banquet, as long as he likes it, he has to drink three cups." ”

"Three cups? This...... Three cups is probably too much, right? Zheng Bao looked at Yuan Jiang in a daze, with a bitter smile on his face.

Yuan Jiang patted his chest boldly, "General Mo Chou, I'll drink this cup with you." ”

In desperation, Zheng Bao had to drink two more glasses, but Yuan Jiang still spilled the wine in the cup aside.

After three glasses of spirits, Zheng Bao staggered and stood unsteadily, squeezed his tongue when he spoke, and with Liu Ye's support, he could barely sit on the chair.

Yuan Jiang glanced at it coldly, turned his head to Bu Feiyan and Xiang Yao and said, "You two, also come to salute General Zheng's wine." ”

Bu Feiyan just snorted lightly, turned away, and ignored Yuan Jiang, while Xiang Yao obediently stepped forward and toasted Zheng Bao.

Seeing that it was just a young man who came up to toast, Zheng Bao didn't take him seriously, looked at the wine glass that had been handed to his mouth, and just shook his head, "You guy, you are so rude, don't you know that when you toast the chief, you have to drink three glasses yourself?" ”

Xiang Yao was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Yuan Jiang suspiciously, who smiled and said, "Since General Zheng has said it, then you will do it." After speaking, he said to Zheng Bao with a smile: "General Zheng, after he has drunk three cups, you want to drink one cup." ”

Zheng Bao nodded.

Xiang Yao really picked up the wine glass and drank three glasses in one go, but the back was not red, his heart was not beating, and he stared at Zheng Bao with clear eyes, waiting for him to have a drink.

Yuan Jiang looked at this fifteen-year-old boy in a daze, and was surprised in his heart, such a strong wine, how could it be that it was like drinking boiled water in his mouth, it was amazing.

(To explain, the time when the protagonist traveled to the Three Kingdoms was 194, two years before Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven, as for why Liu Bei and Yuan Shu went to war at this time, it was because in the first year of Xingping, that is, in 194, Yuan Shu attacked Xuzhou, and Liu Bei held on to Xuyi and Huaiyin, and later Lü Bu attacked Xuzhou, and Liu Bei was forced to retreat.) This is from the canonical history, which is different from the romance. ）
