In the old king's study, the eldest prince Xibo and the second prince Basil stared wide-eyed, and the atmosphere was very strange.

At the same time as the third prince was dispatched, the second prince was also recalled to inquire about the behemoth, but the words he received were basically the same as those conveyed by the previous messenger, and the second prince explained that it was because they fled in too much hurry, so they knew very little.

He was also in much better condition than the eldest prince, and he was not injured, but he was a little disgraced.

Now the old king was talking to the minister alone about the monster and the competition for the throne, and the two princes were left to hang out, sitting on their seats, both with their heads bowed and not knowing what they were thinking, and from time to time they secretly looked at each other with strange eyes, and found that the other party was also doing the same thing, and quickly shifted his gaze, and after a while, he couldn't help but look twice, and so on.

......

If you want to talk about the eldest prince's current mood, it is regret, very regretful.

When the old king announced the rules of this competition for the throne, Sibo knew that his father was favoring him and that the throne must be his.

After being a prince for decades, Xibo was very happy to think that he would soon become the lord of a country, but he also knew that he had to refrain from doing anything extraneous at this time.

Then he restrained himself for a few days.......

The day before the crusade against the monster, he couldn't help it, because another day was the day when it was confirmed that he was the heir to the throne, and the more Xibo thought about it, the more excited he became, so he found a few of his closest friends to celebrate together.

It is inevitable to drink some wine to celebrate, but fortunately, Xibo is not a brainless person, and he also understands the truth of drinking and making mistakes. Originally, an extraordinary person with a strong physique like him had a stronger ability to withstand ordinary drinks than ordinary people, and those with low concentration were similar to drinking water.

It just so happened that Xibo also treasured a lot of good wine, among which his rarest was a low-strength wine, and he was never willing to drink it.

Now it's going to be a kingdom, and if you don't drink it at this time, when will you drink it.

When the friends had arrived, and the feast began, Sibo instructed the servants: "Bring me my best wine!" ”

If you don't prepare in advance, you should say it at this time, of course, so that your friends can hear it.

Because Sibo, like his father, was also a very good-looking person, he was favored by the old king, and the similarity of personality was a very important reason.

In the words of the old king, in Sibo's body, "I saw the shadow of my youth".

As a result, it's because of this bad thing.

For the sake of face and pomp in front of his friends, Sibo told his servant to bring his best wine.

His original intention was, of course, to take his favorite wine, but the servant did not know how to drink it, so he ran to the wine keeper and said, "The eldest prince wants the best wine for important guests." ”

The problem is that among the wines treasured by the Great Prince, the best and the strongest.

A glass of drunkenness, needless to say people, according to legend, is the fire element that will vaporize as soon as the alcohol reaches the stomach, and after drinking this, you can't hold it. I heard that it didn't rely on alcohol, but on the impact of magic.

That's why it's the most precious.

The wine manager knows that he knows that tomorrow the eldest prince will go to crusade against monsters, and it is also the key to deciding the throne, after all, the old king has been hyping people for the past few days in order to increase the prestige of his son.

He realized that it was not good to let the eldest prince drink spirits at this time, but when he thought about the servant's words, "entertain important guests", maybe it was just for the guests to drink? Thinking about it again, it's the critical moment of competing for the throne, the eldest prince himself should have a bottom in his heart and won't drink excessively, right?

So the steward found the best, the strongest, and let the servant deliver it. Writing Zhai

On the eldest prince's side, Sibo was chatting happily with his friends, telling them how lucky they were, and how long he had kept the wine. At this moment the servant came in with wine, and the eldest prince immediately commanded:

"Pour the guests a drink first."

When the guests were finished, the servant went up to the eldest prince and prepared to pour him wine. As soon as he got closer, Sibo smelled something was wrong.

This wine is the strongest bottle!

I wanted the servant to change it, but when I swept it, I found that several friends were looking at him, and one of them spoke: "Let's wish the eldest prince a victory tomorrow!" ”

As he spoke, several people waited for him with their glasses, but they only smelled the aroma of the wine, but they didn't know how strong it was. These people think about the same as managing wine, you are going to be a king, so you should have a number of what you can drink and what you can't drink.

Originally, at this time, the eldest prince only had to say that he couldn't drink now, and he would be completely fine, but .......

He wants to save face!

Oh, now everyone toasts themselves with wine glasses, and then says to themselves that this wine can't be drunk, and they have to change it to the lightest one, and let the friends wait, then he still has to lose face.

And then there is, Xibo thinks, "I'm so strong, just take a sip, it should be fine."

Then he drank.

Then, there is no then.

By the time Xibo regained consciousness, it was already the next day, and he was about to go to the camp to be the first to crusade, but Xibo was still dizzy, and the magic in the wine was still hitting his brain, making him feel high.

With the help of his henchmen, he finally drove the ducks to the shelves, and went into the mountains alone to look for monsters.

Then I went in in a daze, got lost in it, and came out in a daze.

According to the rules of competition, if you enter the mountains, no matter what the reason, you will come out and the crusade will be over. I didn't even see the shadow of the monster, and the eldest prince naturally failed in the crusade.

Xibo, who was full of chagrin and regret, thought of another question, if he ran to his father to return to his life, saying that he was drunk and failed the crusade, that would not be ........

Isn't it too shameless!!

So Sipo made up a powerful monster that didn't exist, pretending to be invincible to the monster and escaped. He also made people fake their injuries and applied a large number of strong-smelling potions to cover the remaining thin smell of wine on their bodies, for fear of being exposed when they saw the old king.

Things went as he thought, and the old king believed what he said, and did not reproach him too much.

Although the throne was lost, but the face was saved!

Just when Xibo thought that the throne would definitely be taken away by his younger brother, the second Basil also failed, and what he never expected was that the other party actually said that he had seen the monster he made up.

Sibo was puzzled, if he wanted to say that Basil was lying, what was his purpose? Obviously, after his defeat, he is the one who has the best chance to win the throne.

Or did you say that Basil also drank too much?

This is also the reason why Xibo has been peeking at Basil before, but seeing that the other party is unscathed after cleaning up, and there is no obvious smell of alcohol on his body, he feels impossible.

It can't be that there really is something similar to the monster he made up in the mountains outside the city, right?
