"Bobby, have a drink tonight?" At the yamen of the Ministry of War, a middle-aged official with a calm demeanor patted Bobby's shoulder from behind and said.

"Lord Lucian." Poppy looked at the official with some surprise, this is the deputy head of the yamen of the Ministry of War, the real real power figure.

On the day he ordered the attack on the orcs and elves, he happened to be at home on leave for health reasons, so he escaped the disaster.

"Don't be restrained, let's go have a drink or two, Hector is gone, there are not many people in our courtyard who can drink." Lucien said with a smile, a little sad in his smile.

Hector is Bobby's senior, and this Lucian has also drunk with them a few times, and has a good relationship with his senior.

Poppy nodded slightly, "Okay, it just so happened that yesterday I found a newly opened tavern on Romo Street, their wine is the most delicious in my life, I'll take you to try it." ”

"Oh, and there's a new tavern on Romo Street?" Lucien was a little surprised, the street had become as lonely as its name had been, and he hadn't been there for a long time.

"I also went there by accident last night, and I entered the tavern when I smelled the wine, and it is indeed a rare wine." Poppy said.

"Okay, let's try it." Lucien nodded.

The two got into Lucian's carriage and headed straight for the Saipan Tavern.

"That's it." Poppy got up and opened the door for Lucian.

"That's it?" Lucian looked at the tavern, which looked unremarkable.

"Yes." Poppy nodded.

"Let's go in and have a look." Lucien got out of the carriage, he really wanted to drink.

In the past few days, there have been drastic changes in the military department, and although he escaped due to illness, he has also lost many colleagues and friends, and the people in the military department are panicked, and he is also in an irritable mood.

Hector is a colleague he has worked with for more than 30 years, he was the same group of people who entered the military department back then, and he often drank together over the years, but he never thought that he would die so suddenly, which really made him a little difficult to accept.

When I came out of the military department today, I happened to see Bobby, and knew that this little brother often drank with Hector, and they had drunk together a few times, which was quite good for him, so I invited him to drink with him, and by the way, I mourned Hector.

Unlike the noisy tavern across the street, this tavern is very quiet, or rather...... Somewhat deserted.

Poppy pushed open the door to the tavern, and there was no customer in the tavern, only the tavern owner standing behind the bar wiping his glasses.

McGonagall raised her eyes and recognized Bobby, and judging by his slightly humble attitude, the middle-aged man who followed him through the door was much more official than him.

And McGonagall quickly recognized Lucian, the deputy head of the Pragmatic Division, who had a good impression in Alex's memory.

This is the kind of real power figure in the military department, the kind who can grasp the core secrets.

"Welcome." McGonagall smiled slightly.

Lucien looked at the new tavern for a moment, the décor was not luxurious, but it was comfortable, the warm yellow oil lamp light made people feel comfortable, and the tavern was so warm that it made people want to take off their thick coats as soon as they entered.

The boss is a young man in his thirties, with a mediocre appearance, no memory points, and belongs to the kind of person who will be ignored if he is thrown into the crowd, but he seems to be kind and kind.

A new tavern, a young owner, and only two customers made Lucian's expectations fall to the bottom all at once, and it seems that Bobby's taste is still far from Hector's.

"My lord, let's sit here." Poppy led Lucien to sit down near the door, he could see Lucian's demeanor change, and he didn't panic, this tavern looked unremarkable, it was because the wine hadn't been served yet.

"What do you want to drink?" McGonagall asked, smiling.

"My lord, I drank Moutai yesterday, why don't you order a bottle of this today?" Poppy looked at Lucien and asked.

"Okay." Lucian nodded, and glanced at the very simple wine list behind the bar, there were only two wines, Moutai 2000 copper coins a product, and whiskey was also 2000 copper coins a bottle, the price was not low.

In addition to the two wines, there are also three appetizers, and the price is much cheaper than the drinks.

This wine list looks a little shabby.

He even had a little doubt that Bobby's taste had rapidly declined to such an extent after Hector's death?

"I want a bottle of Moutai, and then the three appetizers are the same." Poppy said, looking at McGonagall.

"Okay, wait a minute." McGonagall nodded, turned and went into the kitchen, where she came out with three appetizers and a bottle of Moutai.

Lucian's eyes were first drawn to the three appetizers, a plate of peanuts, which is a common appetizer in taverns, but usually a plate of peanuts is included in taverns, and this tavern sells it as an appetizer.

The other two dishes were cold pork ears and cold pork tongue, just listening to the name of the dish, he felt no appetite, and even vaguely felt a little nauseous.

However, when the dish was served, the thinly cut pig ears and pig tongue were wrapped in red chili oil, and the spicy smell came to his face, which made his throat roll a little.

On the side, Bobbi had already expertly picked up the bottle of Moutai, untied the red cloth, and then reached out to pull the cork.

The aroma of the wine sealed in the bottle suddenly spreads.

"This scent?!" Lucian's eyes brushed over, and he looked at the wine bottle in Bobby's hand with some surprise, the thick aroma of wine was so tempting.

Poppy poured the wine into his glass, and the clear liquor swayed slightly in the crystal glass.

"Please." Poppy held the glass in both hands and placed it gently in front of Lucian.

Lucien leaned in and sniffed, still looking incredulous, looking at Bobby and saying, "This wine...... What kind of wine is it? ”

"Moutai should be a grain wine." Poppy said.

"Just smell its aroma, you know it's a good wine, but it's a pity that Hector can't taste it." Lucian sighed lightly and took a sip from his glass.

The wine is delicate and soft, crisp and sweet, and it glides between the lips and teeth, and it is so silky.

Lucian was not a good drinker, but he had drunk a lot of fine wine, but even the tribute wine he had drunk in the palace had never been so amazing to him.

The aroma of the wine was hazy, intoxicating, and in a trance he seemed to see that when he first entered the military department, he was full of spirit, saying that he wanted to do a great career, and decades passed...... But things are wrong.

It was a long time before Lucien opened his eyes, his eyes glistening with tears, and he smothered the rest of the wine in his glass.

Poppy glanced at him, didn't speak, but smothered the wine in his own glass, and then silently filled Lucien.

"He's a good guy, it's a shame to go like this, it's too sudden." Lucien looked at the full glass in front of him and whispered.
