CHAPTER XVII

"Boom!!Boom!!"

Kong Ming was listening to Garland and their chat, when the eighteen magic cannons on the edge of the square rang out one after another, and the New Year's gathering finally began.

All the people looked at the location of the emperor on the north side, Tang Feng had already stood up and walked to the front of the stage, I don't know how many times he has participated in this kind of activity, I only remember that it seems to be like many times, but last year because of Kari's rebellion did not participate in this event, and could only be waited by the prince, this year, although Kari is still not calm, but they don't dare to make any moves, and finally can have a good New Year, looking at the eyes of the people in the whole square looking at him, Tang Feng took a speech from the hand of the guards next to him, and began to talk some nonsense that must be done every time, to the effect that he is grateful to the ancestors, to thank God, thank all those who serve the empire, and so onThen look back at the past, look at some of the achievements made in recent years, praise some people, and finally, when Sora Ming is about to fall asleep, finally announce the beginning of the celebration. In the midst of another cheer, the most traditional first event, the wine competition, began, and everyone could come up voluntarily.

In the midst of another cheer, many guards from various families walked on the red carpet wearing the clothes of various families, and at this time, Kong Ming was hesitating to see if he wanted to participate in this competition, and he felt a small hand push him on the red carpet, Kong Ming looked back, only to see that Youlan was smiling at him with her mouth pursed, and then said a sentence that she thought was the best revenge for Kong Ming, "This is the best way for you to repay your debts." Kong Ming couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seems that Zhou Yu is really beating Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. Kong Ming walked into the red carpet, looked left and right, most of the surrounding were guards of various families, a total of more than two hundred people, and a few were nobles, it seems that after hundreds of years of founding of the country, the pride of the first generation of the Huayuan Empire has long made these descendants thrown to the north and south, and they can only rely on those guards who are attached to them to maintain their faces that are about to break. Everyone was arranged to walk to the center of the carpet, and then they saw hundreds of waiters from the side of the square put forward hundreds of jars of liquor, the side of the wine jar marked with the word Moutai, this is a superb wine on the mainland, Kong Ming is only in a chance to drink, a sip, that taste has made Kong Ming unforgettable, I can't think of today but I can drink it, this is a great honor, I want to drink this time, Kong Ming will not be as heavy as before, it seems that this time must drink enough. Of course, Kong Ming also thought about using a gourd to collect some, but in front of everyone, cheating under that saint-level powerhouse is undoubtedly a self-inflicted humiliation. Before coming in, Kong Ming had already learned the rules of this competition from Frank, which was very simple, without forcing the wine with his own body, he could force the water on his body without forcing the wine, and all the people present were the audience and the judges. Therefore, it is common to see a large pool of water under the feet of the contestants, but they can only smell some alcohol. The competition is just a kind of entertainment, but the winning families and individuals can get a lot of rewards, and the number of participants is not fixed, that is to say, you can participate in one contestant in one family, or you can let ten people at the same time, the more the better.

Watching those guards put down three jars of wine in front of everyone, and then put more in the center of all the players, this is a tradition, that is, the players are only qualified to drink those wines in the center after drinking the three jars of wine in front of them, and the result of the selection is that whoever drinks more wine is the champion, and there is no time limit. When all the preparations were made, the interest of all the audience was aroused. The shouts kept coming, and even the emperor on the stage looked at these drunkards happily, constantly talking to someone next to him about something. With the sound of drums, the game finally began, and the excitement of the audience was staged, only to see more than 200 people lifting the wine jar on the ground with one hand, opening the sealing mud, and pouring it straight into the mouth like pouring water, and there was no trace of leakage. After Kong Ming heard the sound of the drum, he directly lifted a wine jar, patted the sealing mud with one hand, turned the wine jar directly upside down, and drank it in one gulp. If Kong Ming's alcohol consumption before cultivating the Fire Dragon Fighting Qi was one, then his alcohol consumption at this time could be calculated as a hundred, because after cultivating the Fire Dragon Fighting Qi and drinking and using the golden dragon blood, Kong Ming's body was transformed into a dragon. Drinking this most precious Moutai taste is really not ordinarily good, that taste makes Kong Ming, who has been pouring wine now, while drinking, while admiring, it is so fragrant, what a pity, such a good wine actually uses the method of cow drinking. After drinking the jar of wine in his hand, Kong Ming felt that it had taken a lot of time, looked left and right, many people had finished drinking the second jar of wine, and were already drinking the third jar of wine, Kong Ming shook his head, what a waste, unhurriedly picked up the second jar of wine and drank it slowly.

The people standing outside the arena are cheering for their players, Youlan is also constantly cheering for Kong Ming in this atmosphere, but what annoys her is that Kong Ming's drinking speed is too slow, many people have drunk two altars, he has just finished drinking the first altar, and can't help but keep shouting on the sidelines to make Kong Ming happy, standing not far from her, it is Yun Lianhuo and Aunt Hui, the two looked at the person who might be their son, kept drinking, and couldn't help but have a huge wave in their hearts, a nobleman of Kong Ming's age, but he was still coquettish in the arms of his parents, but Kong Ming was already struggling for his own life。 Why is this, Aunt Hui's eyes were already in tears, and she wanted to rush over and let Kong Ming stop drinking, but Yun Lianhuo stopped it, but even Yun Lianhuo's hands were constantly trembling. The crowd throughout the square was constantly cheering for those players.

After a while, everyone saw a person walk out of the contestants, walked to the central wine jar, picked up another jar of wine, and then began to drink, all the audience's eyes were occupied by him, and another one walked out, but some of the contestants vomited directly on the spot when they couldn't do it, and some of the contestants fell to the ground, and all such contestants were carried out of the red carpet by the guards. So when Kong Ming drank the second jar of wine, there were not many players on the field, only more than thirty people persevered, and there were only three people like Kong Ming who were still drinking the three jars of wine in their hands, including Kong Ming. All three of them were drinking unhurriedly, as if it wasn't a game, but they were drinking at home. The rest of the thirty or so people are still trying to drink more. Kong Ming still shook his head, picked up the last jar of wine on the ground, and drank it again. In the midst of everyone's cheers, Kong Ming finally put down the third wine jar and slowly walked towards the central wine jar. And the other two are doing the same. At this time, there were only six people left in the thirty people in front, and the rest of the people had already drunk to the limit, and they had all been lifted off the carpet, and these six people really had their own tricks, using fighting spirit to vaporize the water in the wine, drinking slowly, holding back, and one was a tall fat man, who didn't even show a little alcohol on his body. Kong Ming was also a little drunk at this time, after all, he had already drunk a lot before, Kong Ming shook his head, walked in a snake step, walked over step by step, walked to the wine jar in the center, picked up a jar of wine, and drank it slowly as he did just now, at this time his tongue had no way to taste the taste of this wine as he did at the beginning, only to keep drinking. Kong Ming had no way to see or listen to what others were saying, he just drank vigorously. Now the people outside the carpet have been stunned, because this year there has been a situation that has not appeared for many years, there are actually three people who have been drinking the wine in the center all the time, and at this time, there is not enough wine, this is not known how many years have not appeared, the last time this situation occurred in the history of the empire, it was more than two hundred years ago, that event has been circulated in the empire for a long time as a beautiful talk, but the most important thing is that whenever this situation occurs in the empire, it is when the empire is strong, when the four sides are killed, and the territory is expanded。 And now, when the Harvey Empire is eyeing the Huayuan Empire, and the matter of Kari has not been able to be solved, this situation has actually occurred, which has to make all the people excited, all the people are screaming, even those noble ladies who are usually very ladylike, they all screamed, and the owner of the empire, Tang Feng looked at this scene with excitement, unlike everyone, he knew a message that only the emperor knew, that was when the founding of the country, a wizard once gave the founding emperor a prophecy, that is, whenever there was a person who could drink on the New Year's party of the empire, it was the best time for the empire's national fortune, because it was also an era of talents, so the emperors of the past dynasties have not broken this New Year's gathering, and every time at that time, those who can drink will always hand over some good luck, although they may not be generals, nor prime ministers, but they bring the best national luck to the country, and the country will inevitably give them some benefits. And at this time, at this time of internal and external difficulties, this situation actually appeared, how could he not be excited. Now all the people in the square could see and could not see followed the three people who were still standing, and every time one of them began to drink a jar again, and at this time, the guards hurried to bring some more wine.

There were three people still standing at this time, one was empty, one was a big fat man, and one was a tall and majestic man. The three of them have different appearances, Kong Ming drank nine altars, the fat man also drank nine altars, and the tallest person drank eleven altars, far ahead of Kong Ming and the fat man. And the expressions of the three of them are also different, Kong Ming is drunk and smoked from beginning to end, and the fat man has to hesitate for a long time every time he drinks a jar, as if he has drunk poison, and only the majestic man really drinks without any reaction, as if he has never drunk a little. In front of everyone, none of the three of them had any possibility of cheating, and everyone was drinking with their own skills. With everyone's eyes, those guards carried in more than 30 jars of wine, and from the tall man opened the first jar, the aroma of wine wafted throughout the square, everyone knew that this must be the best wine, yes, these wines are the best Moutai liquor accumulated over the years, and the royal family has an unwritten rule, that is, every year to leave a number of jars of wine to prepare for today's situation, and sometimes these years of accumulated wine finally have a place. Smelling the smell of good and better wine, Kongming's stomach was even more seduced, and the other two reacted so badly. Kong Ming hurriedly went up and put the ten jars of wine in front of him, simply sat on a wine jar, and began to drink again, and the two of them were hesitant at first, but then they also held the rest of the wine in front of him from there, and sat down to drink it like Kong Ming. This action of the three of them is undoubtedly announcing to the world that there is not enough wine to drink. Immediately aroused the shouts of all the people at the scene, and the atmosphere once again reached a climax.

After the emperor sitting on the high platform saw this situation, his heart was even more happy, and at this time, he hurriedly looked at the holy demon master behind him and said, "Mo Ning, can you use a floating shadow technique to let me see more clearly." ”

"Your Majesty, as you wish. Mo Ning said, and then a floating shadow appeared in front of the emperor, and the image of the three of Kong Ming appeared in front of the emperor at once, and at this time, the emperor was even happier to watch the three people drinking wine. However, the expression of the Sword Saint behind him became very strange, even a little gloomy, and the Holy Demon Master next to him noticed that the Sword Saint was wrong, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"Did you see that Tempest Clan's guard?" said the Juggernaut. Mo Ning nodded, indicating that he saw it.

"He seems to be one of the last five great sword masters to commit suicide in the Battle of Cold Valley last year. The Sword Master said incredulously.

"Is there a mistake?" said Mourning.

"No way, although he is now more mature and more restrained, there are things that cannot be changed. Juggernaut said.

"Well, but it doesn't need to be said that you know with Your Majesty yet, wait a minute. After the assembly, we went to check it out, but it just needed a spell. The man named Mourning said.

Kong Ming didn't know that his identity was nothing to hide between the two saint-level powerhouses who had fought against him, at this time, under the attention of all the people, Kong Ming drank the ten jars of wine he brought back, at this time he was lying directly on top of those empty wine jars, constantly shouting good wine, and the fat man was still drinking a jar of wine, not for anything else, just because as long as he drank this altar of wine, then he could surpass Kong Ming's one jar of wine, at least as if it was in his memory, he won the second place in the competition, and the first place was not to think about it, the pervert in front of him, the number of drinks has exceeded the two of them three jars of wine。 After drinking the last jar, the fat man finally fell down happily, and before he fell, he said something that made him proud for the rest of his life, "That kid is not as good as me in drinking, not as good as me, haha, hehe." !", and then there was a heroic fall, and after both of them fell, the only man was undoubtedly the champion. He looked at the two fallen competitors next to him, and he put down the wine in his hand and announced to everyone that he was the champion of this year's class. Then, too, he fell happily.

Amid the cheers of the crowd, the three last to fall, and the most drunk, were heroically carried to a place in the palace to receive foreign guests to rest. The rally continued. However, these are undoubtedly not important to Kong Ming, because at this time he has already drunk the wine he wants to drink the most, and he is drooling happily.
