"Before complaining that people always like to climb on your back, you should think about how you took the initiative to squat first." Ning Que looked at his classmates who were as quiet as frozen quails, shook his head, and said, "You all treat me so nobly, but today in the face of a tough person, you have become Halak. Shame on you.

Sang Sang picked up the wine glass he quietly handed her and took a sip, then she looked ahead and said, "It seems that Prince Longqing is very powerful.

As if answering the little maid's confusion, Father Morley, the vice president of the Enlightenment Academy, looked at the students and added with great satisfaction: "Prince Longqing's debating ability is even more appreciated by the elders of Lanke Temple.

The atmosphere was a little awkward at the moment. The Gushan general, who was sitting below Li Yu on the left, suddenly laughed and said, "I, Zhang Jianxin, am a rough man, and I don't understand what the prince and the young master are discussing." But I know that wine is a great thing to liven up a banquet. Today, we are all here to see off Crown Prince Chongming. Our Gushan Headquarters, nothing special, brought dozens of barrels of Jiujiang double distilled wine, called those adjutants, and asked them to carry them to the backyard. So, I invite you to taste it.

The words are straightforward, but polite. The Jiujiang double liquor produced by the Gushan Headquarters is not an ordinary wine. This is a noble spirit brewed by double refining, which was once used by an emperor of the Tang Empire to soften the minds of the steppe barbarians and corrode the strong will of the tribes there, thus having a miraculous effect. Since then, it has become a secret artifact under the close protection of the empire, often used as a bargaining chip with the steppe tribes, and is rarely eaten.

The reason why Jiujiang double distilled wine is rarely for drinking, and it is not even selected as a tribute wine by the court, is because it is not easy to make wine. But more importantly, the wine is so strong that an ordinary strong man will get drunk after only one bowl of wine. Although it is in line with the generous and brave temperament of the Tang Dynasty, it is too uncomfortable to get drunk after a few sips when leaning on the railing, enjoying the aroma of wine and the breeze, and thinking that he is a big guy who is unrestrained. Therefore, the Don had to give it up painfully.

The rare Gusanfu double distilled sake is divided into small jars and served to all tables. Then, a more elaborate wine set was offered, which slightly relieved the previous tension. But no one expected that the Gushan general named Zhang Jianxin would ask the maid to replace the small wine glass in front of her with a big bowl. After pouring the wine into the bowl, he stared at Prince Longqing's eyes and said in a dull tone, "I don't know if the Xishan Shrine prohibits drinking."

Prince Long Qing looked at the small wine glass in front of him, smiled faintly and shook his head. It was the first time he had a different expression, and gentleness and indifference appeared on his handsome face, revealing another sense of charm, and thus, making the girls stunned again, even though they had just been annoyed by him for slandering the reputation of the Academy.

General Zhang's expression suddenly became serious. He raised his left hand to hold the bowl with both hands, and said solemnly: "Back then, I used to fight against the cavalry of the Yan Kingdom at the foot of Min Mountain. Now, nearly 10 years later, the two countries have formed a good relationship. So, with this bowl of wine, I want to toast to Prince Longqing. Hope you won't mind. But the wine was too strong, and in the steppe, they said that you can't ride a horse with three bowls. I don't know if you, the prince, dare, or rather, dare...... Drink?

With these words, the room became quiet again.

In the corner, Ning Que looked in that direction, shook his head, and said, "Is he trying to force him or is he joking?" Vulgar, too vulgar! The guys of the Don Army, who withdrew from the front, were so honest, or rather stupid. The crown prince is a genius at the pinnacle of the Perspective State, you should have a drinking game with him! It's like gambling with me, your young master, in a game of dice. It's just looking for abuse.

As he spoke, he emptied the bowl full of rice wine and poured the Gushanfu sake from the pot into the bowl. Then he carefully covered it with his sleeve and handed it to Sangsang behind him. The pair of distilled spirits were truly extraordinary, and their aroma instantly filled the air. Sang-sang was usually calm, but now she couldn't even restrain herself from showing joy, because even her eyes were burning.

In the depths of the courtyard, Secretary Zeng Jing felt that the scene was very embarrassing, so he stood up to ease up. He patted the folding fan in his hand lightly, looked at General Zhang Jianxin, and suddenly suggested seriously: "Now, for the sake of our relationship, how about drinking together?"

In the face of such a serious attitude of the great secretary, even the commander of the Tang Dynasty border guards did not dare to disobey. However, for some reason, Zhang Jianxin insisted on holding the bowl with both hands, as if nothing had happened. He looked at Prince Long Qing coldly and said, "Are we drinking together, or just between the two of us, I just want to know...... Whether the prince drinks alcohol or not.

Taking a sip of wine, Ning Que frowned tightly at the spicy taste. When he heard these words, he felt that drinking only one drop from 3 miles of water meant loving wholeheartedly.

He frowned and stared in that direction, thinking to himself that the general surnamed Zhang before claimed to be rough...... Maybe it was just a disguise, deliberately using vulgar methods to force the prince to drink. Confronting the grace and arrogance of the opponent with a rough and brutal way would be a surprise trick in the current situation where the reputation of the empire is constantly being damaged. Maybe Li Yu secretly instigated him.

However, just like in the debate, this is one of the two basic elements that make Prince Longqing so proud, and these things have nothing to do with Ning Que. Realizing that Sangsang liked this double-distilled liquor very much, he busied himself with pouring the liquor out of the pot and secretly handed it to Sangsang, who was sitting behind him. Next, he secretly stole wine from a classmate next to him and gave it to Sangsang, tirelessly repeating the whole process carefully and happily.

When the two hid in the dim corner of the courtyard and stole wine, the situation in the courtyard changed again. Most people thought that Prince Long Qing would ignore Tang General's invitation to the wine competition because of his usual indifference and arrogance, but they only felt a faint smile suddenly flash on his face. With a flick of his right hand, a pot appeared in his hand silently.

Soon after, Prince Longqing lifted the lower part of the pot, and the crystal clear wine rushed out of the pot with a spicy aroma, filling the large bowl in an instant. He did not let the wine spill out, and as quickly as a whirlwind he raised his left arm and brought the bowl to his mouth, and he drank at the speed of a whale sucking water or a tornado. How cold he is!

General Zhang Jianxin looked a little stunned, as if he didn't expect that Prince Longqing, who was known for his indifference, solemnity, and arrogance, would be so casual and unrestrained in the face of his invitation to the wine competition. Then, after a moment of distraction, he realized that he was still holding the bowl, so he immediately brought it to his mouth and drank it.

However, just as he was about to pull the bowl out of his mouth, he found that Prince Longqing on the other side of the table had unknowingly poured himself a second bowl of wine and drank it obediently.

Then the third bowl, the fourth bowl, the fifth bowl... Even in the grassland, there is a story about Jiujiang double winemaking, from the Gushan Command, after drinking three bowls, you can't ride a horse. Now that Zhang Jianxin dares to let the prince compete to drink this wine, he should naturally be a master of drinking. However, he eventually loses this contest with the prince, who keeps swallowing wine without blinking an eye. Eventually, he fell to the ground with a thud, his face flushed.

Then, the maids carried away General Zhang, who was covered in the smell of wine. All the people of the Tang Empire sitting in the courtyard were ashamed. Inviting someone to a wine competition is itself a vulgar thing to do. And to make matters worse, the extremely delicate prince, who looks as handsome as the man in the photo, should finally be completely victorious. Not only vulgar to the extreme, but also shameful to the extreme!

Prince Longqing took the eighth bowl of wine and drank it gradually, instead of putting it down when the other party fell to the ground. Then, calmly looking at the others, he said with a tired smile in his heart:

"In my life, I first tried to seek Taoism, and then I was in charge of court rulings. In terms of exterminating the remnants of the Demon Cult and punishing the betrayers of Taoism and heresy, I have always been strict and severe, and I have never allowed any mistakes to be made. So far, it can be said that there is no other object that has been able to stir my heart...... There is only one exception, and that is fine wine.
