At night, the Nalan family was brightly lit in the shops of Stone Desert City.

On the periphery, there are heavily guarded teams. Dressed in armor and armed with crossbows, they patrolled back and forth with vigilant eyes.

Inside, there is a quaint lobby, flanked by two rows of heavy bronze lamp stands, on which are arm-thick red candles, filled with a strange fragrance.

I sat on the right side of the lower head near the gate, turned my head to look inside, sitting on the top was Nalan Ji, Chu Killing Snake was the chief on the right, and no one dared to sit on the left chief, it was empty.

And down, there are a lot of people sitting, and it's also very miscellaneous. There are a few old guys from my Nalan family and some backbones, there are officers of the Anbei Cavalry Army, there are people from the Mo family, oh, and the city lord of the stone desert.

However, Hai Bodong and Yun Yun, one was seriously injured and the other was cold, so they didn't come.

I sighed a little disappointed, counting on Yun Yun to come to this kind of banquet - probably I really thought too much. After straightening my clothes, I sat cross-legged and listened to the old man.

The old man simply didn't have the temperament of a literati, so he just said a few words casually, then raised the wine bowl in front of him and shouted loudly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the snake people have invaded my territory many times since ancient times, killed my brothers, and drove my cattle and horses, which is really hateful."

"Today, although we are from all over the world, we are fighting side by side and killing the snake man queen together, which is really happy, and we should be white!"

With that, Nalan Ji took the wine bowl and gestured to the others. I, along with the others, hurriedly raised the wine bowl on the table in front of me, saluted him from afar, and drank it together.

The wine is not spicy at all, and the taste is excellent.

Because I specially greeted people, I deliberately changed the liquor to a less strong osmanthus brew. No way, who let this banquet be prepared by my family?

After drinking this round of wine, the atmosphere in the banquet suddenly rose. There's not much etiquette here, all that's left is to find a few people to chat with and brag about.

When the meat was eaten and the wine had been drunk, the feast was dispersed.

I looked down and saw that the dishes on the table were not very good, and I couldn't make any good dishes in a hurry. It's all meat, chunks of meat, beef, lamb, dog, pork, boiled, grilled, fried, stewed......

The dishes are also rich, but it is really difficult for me to grasp them directly with my hands and bite them like a few Anbei officers on the other side.

Shaking my head, I took a small piece of meat pad to cushion my stomach, poured myself another bowl of wine, took a slight sip, and turned my head to look at the green scales sitting below me.

This banquet was a single case, with a six-foot-long and four-foot-wide black lacquer case placed in front of him, setting off the figure of Qinglu sitting cross-legged and a little short.

This gave me the illusion that the meat on the table would be heavier than the scales!

The thought made me laugh out loud. Qing Liang looked at the voice, his eyes were timid, and he said with a little crying: "Young Master, can Qing Liang go?" ”

I forcibly suppressed the smile on my face, coughed dryly, and said, "Qinglu, this is not very good, the meat is delicious, and the wine is delicious." Come on, come on, let's have a bowl! ”

With that, I picked up the bowl and shook it at her. Qinglan's eyes were red, and she was about to cry when she looked at the wine bowl bigger than the palm of her hand.

"Less, young master, I don't know how to drink, this wine is so spicy, I, Qinglu don't drink it......"

I was about to cry when I saw it, and I didn't know why I wanted to laugh. But of course I didn't laugh, because I could hold back.

It seems that the wine on the green scale case is spirits, I shook my head, and secretly scolded the person who prepared the banquet was too careless, how could I prepare spirits for a little girl?

Putting down the wine bowl, I picked up the osmanthus wine pot on my case, moved to the green scales, handed the wine pot over, and said with a smile:

"Qinglu, my wine here is not strong, how can it be drunk, taste it?"

Qing Liang took it with some hesitation, held the wine jug with both hands, and looked down at the wine bowl on the table, which was still full of the remaining spirits from earlier.

There was only this one bowl on the desk, and she was suddenly embarrassed, and her eyes swirled back and forth between the wine bowl and the wine jug, at a loss.

I rubbed my head and said helplessly, "Qinglu, just pour the wine in the bowl." ”

"Huh?"

Qing Liang exclaimed in surprise and said in a low voice: "Young Master, this is not good, what a waste of ...... poured down"

"If you don't pour it, you won't be able to drink it."

Green Scales turned her head to look at me, her eyes lit up, but then they dimmed again. She lowered her head and whispered, "Do you want a lot of masters, can you help me drink the wine?" ”

What the?

Let me drink the wine you have drunk?

I was stunned for a moment, and when I looked at it, there was still a lot of wine spilled next to the wine bowl on the table in front of Qing Scale. Apparently because she choked on the wine when she drank it before, she spilled it.

I hesitated, and had the heart to refuse. But when I think about the bitter cold since I was a child, if I had to let her pour the wine, she would definitely think that I was a waste.

This will undoubtedly make Qingscale's impression of me worse......

I thought for a moment, then nodded, and took the bowl in front of her, the smell of wine a little unpleasant.

Actually, I don't know much about drinking, otherwise I wouldn't have made people change their drinks. But now I have to drink it.

With a roll of my eyes, I threw my head back and took a sip, the irritating choking drink pouring into my mouth and rushing down my throat and into my stomach.

A hot sensation came, and when I was forced to finish drinking, I slammed the bowl on the table a few times and hissed. I really can't stand it, and tears are coming out!

"Young master, you, are you okay?"

Qing Liang asked a little anxiously, I hurriedly waved my hand, forced myself to hold my body and looked away, and squeezed a smile on my face.

"I'm fine."

I almost squeezed the sentence out of my throat, then slapped the table, paused and said:

"Good wine, this wine—strong enough!"

Qing Liang suddenly burst into tears and smiled, picked up the liquor jug on the table with both hands and handed it over, and said with some joy and pride:

"Young master, if you like to drink, I still have a pot here - you are so powerful, Qinglu drinks this, it is so uncomfortable to drink."

I...... It's uncomfortable to drink!

I had a strange expression on my face, but I didn't want to say anything, probably really to die and suffer to save face.

Reaching for the flask of spirits, I glanced down at my desk, and suddenly my eyes lit up. Putting the flask down, I handed the bowl of osmanthus to Qing Liang and said:

"This bowl is made of osmanthus stuff, but it's delicious, can you taste it?"

Qing Liang did not doubt him, took it and took a careful sip, and suddenly his eyes narrowed slightly, like two small moons.

"Young master, this wine is so delicious!"

Qing Liang screamed, only to think that this wine was sweet, mixed with a faint fragrance, especially delicious. Immediately raised his head and drank it in a big gulp, cooing and cooing, and the Adam's apple moved up and down.

When she finished drinking, a smile appeared on my face, leaned over, and whispered with a hint of mystery, "Qing Scale, let me tell you something." ”

"Huh?"

Qing Liang tilted his head and looked at it with a puzzled look, but he was still holding a dry wine bowl in his hand.

"Qinglan, I drank the wine you drank, and you drank the wine I drank - you say, are we two considered to have drunk a glass of wine?"
