Xiong Ju's residence is in the southeast corner of the capital city Shangying, a little remote, but it occupies a lot of land, and he used the magic to affect the gatekeeper who was above the top, and after he reported it, Shen Chengping was introduced into the hall.

"Is this the wine you're going to offer me like never before?" Xiong Ju fiddled with the wine bottle in his hand, such a wine bottle was absolutely simple in his eyes, but the rich aroma of wine after opening the bottle aroused his interest, of course, he was more concerned about Shen Chengping in front of him, even in the face of his persistence, his expression was still calm, and there was not much flattery, so he couldn't help but pay more attention to Shen Chengping.

"You can give it a try!" Xiong Ju poured some directly into the wine bottle and handed it to a slave next to him, obviously letting this slave test the poison, some of these slaves were not lowly in origin, but the nobles of the original Cai State, after the Cai State was destroyed, most of these nobles of the Cai State were captured and reduced to slaves, and were distributed to the families of clans and meritorious ministers by King Chu Ling, which was actually the norm in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

The slave took the poured wine, because there was not much, the slave drank it in one go, and after a while, seeing that the slave's face was only red, and there was nothing else abnormal, he asked, "How?" ”

"Master, this wine is fragrant, and it seems to be melted by ice and snow in the mouth at first, but when it goes deep into the belly, it turns into a fire, and the whole person seems to be burning."

When Xiong Ju heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, although he was pretending to be a grandson, so as not to be killed by King Chu Ling as a threat, but after pretending to be a wine-colored waste material for a long time, some hobbies were naturally developed, so Xiong Ju was not only lustful, but also good wine, among which good wine was still on top of lust.

"Well, such a good wine, I really want to taste it!" Xiongju has long been a little impatient by the aroma of this wine, Shen Chengping took out the high-grade wine that he had designed and distilled, maybe not as good as modern high-quality wine, but it was definitely a lot higher than the wine of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the wine was poured out, and the aroma of the wine had already overflowed the entire hall, and those guests shrugged their throats one by one, and their saliva was about to drip out, if it hadn't been confirmed that there was no poison, he would have been unable to bear it, and now it has been confirmed that there is no problem. Naturally, he directly gave himself a bottle of wine and went straight to his stomach.

This is a high-grade liquor that Shen Chengping has distilled, because unlike Fang Cai, the slave only drank a little, and this bottle of wine choked on Xiongju as soon as he entered it. But Xiongju actually held back, didn't squirt out the wine, let the snot and tears flow, and still swallowed the wine with difficulty.

The half-sound of wine surged up, turning into a blush on his face, and Xiong Ju slowly spit out a word: "Okay!" Then he said: "We will not be blessed with such good wine, only the king is qualified to enjoy it, and I will offer to the king how much you have now." ”

Shen Chengping couldn't help but sigh, no wonder this Xiong Ju was able to successfully usurp the throne in the future, and his consciousness was very high, and he knew that he would please King Chu Ling as soon as possible.

"I only have two bottles of this wine, but please rest assured, the brewing method of this wine is my research, if Childe wants to drink, I am willing to make wine for Childe!" Shen Chengping said.

"Really, hahaha...... Well, if I can taste such a fine wine, I will give you a mansion, a hundred slaves, ten beauties, and three thousand gold! Xiong Ju laughed and said, compared to the wine that has to be dedicated to King Chu Ling, if there is a way to make wine, it means that he can also drink the same wine to his heart's content, so Xiong Ju was very excited to give Shen Chengping a large reward.

"Thank you for the reward!" Shen Chengping thanked him directly, but he was not moved by Xiong Ju's large reward at all, the reason why he chose to use the method of offering wine to approach Xiong Ju was because of his situation at this time, after all, Xiong Ju now wants to play the role of indulging in wine, if he swaggers into the house, as soon as he opens his mouth, it is a strategy for governing the country, a summary of the art of war, I am afraid that Xiong Ju will not dare to leave him openly, and will even drive him out directly, so as not to arouse the jealousy of King Chu Ling, which is inconsistent with Shen Chengping's plan.

But even so, Xiong Ju saw that Shen Chengping's reward for him was neither humble nor arrogant, and he didn't take it to heart, he couldn't help but have a hint of different color flashing in his eyes, but he didn't delve into it, but said loudly: "Today's great joy, I will definitely not get drunk and not return!" ”

In fact, Xiongju has already prepared everything for the dinner, and the fruits, vegetables and drinks have already been prepared, and he has obtained his orders, the dancing girls have come on the stage, and the band has also started to play.

In some later texts or film and television works, how awesome the Zonghengjia is bragged is, in fact, it is a partial generalization. There are a lot of cattle people from the Zongheng family, what Su Qin hangs the seal of the six countries, Zhang Yi can block thousands of troops with one mouth, of course, it is a first-class talent, which is also based on their thorough understanding of the analysis of the general trend of the world, and their grasp of the people's hearts has reached a very high level, in contrast, these people will only drum up their lips and tongues to flatter people, mix under Xiong Ju for a few days, and become a doorman to receive money, and even Xiong Ju himself knows this.

Early in the morning of the second day, Xiong Ju took the changed package of fine wine and came to the palace of Chu with Shen Chengping to pay tribute.

The palace of Chu does not have the solemnity and grandeur of the Forbidden City in later generations, it seems to have some soothing and romantic Chu people, not so serious and solemn, but it has its unique charm.

"Where is the king now?" Xiongju asked the attendant who was leading the way. The inner servant is the eunuch, the eunuch originated in the Zhou Dynasty, but it was not complete, and by the time of the Qin and Han dynasties, except for the emperor and the prince, the men in the inner courtyard of the palace had completely become not men.

"The king is shooting in Westview." The chamberlain whispered in response.

Xiongju nodded, and stopped talking to the chamberlain. His identity is sensitive, and he talks too much to the chamberlain, not only harming the chamberlain, but also bringing disaster to himself. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, most of the families had no fathers, no sons and no brothers. In other words, those in power compete for power and profit, and they don't even want that bit of face on their faces, whether they are brothers or fathers and sons, they will not have the slightest hesitation to kill each other.

In the West View Garden, a burly man wearing a tattooed phoenix king robe, holding a strong bow in his hand, stood on a high platform, and shot the sharp arrow in his hand unscrupulously. Beneath the high platform, many slaves were covered in animal skins, and ran like wild beasts in the midst of the grass and trees, and sometimes made a sound like the neighing of wild beasts.

Sou! Another arrow flew out, and a slave who looked to be no more than twelve or thirteen years old, could not tell whether it was a man or a woman, and was dressed as a leopard, was shot through the leg by an arrow. The little slave did not dare to cry out directly, but simulated the unstoppable wail of the leopard's injured voice. King Chu Ling laughed, his expression very proud.
