Chapter 206: After drinking this cup, there are still three cups
"Come on, come on, Brother Wu, keep drinking, and don't get drunk today. Ran Cao muttered in his mouth, but his hand involuntarily brought the wine glass to his mouth, and when he sucked it gently, the wine was gone.
Wu Qiutian was a little miserable, at first he thought that his alcohol consumption was already good, but he didn't expect that the strong have his own strong hands, a mountain is higher than a mountain, after knowing Ran Cao, I knew that this kid's stomach is completely a bottomless pit, no matter how much wine is poured down, he can be like a nobody.
The wine jar on the ground was almost full, and the good wine in Wu Qiutian's storage bag was almost empty, and Zhou Xianru, the master, was already overwhelmed by the strength of wine and fell asleep on the table. There are Wu Qiutian and Ran Cao in the partial life, and Princess Xuelan is not good at helping Zhou Xianru leave. Xuanyuan Ziyi is also extremely sensible, when a man is drinking, although she is distressed, she does not come forward to make Wu Qiutian lose face.
Women are sensible, it is a blessing for men, how many men work hard outside and finally return home to be angry, and even some people have no face outside.
Wu Qiutian said with a bitter face: "Brother Ran, I don't have much good wine here, you haven't had a good time yet?"
Ran Cao tilted his head and said: "Brother Wu is reluctant to wait for such a good liquor?" It's okay, there are still 100 jars of Beiliang old wine in his hands, which is enough for you and me to get drunk." ”
Wu Qiutian said with a smile: "It's not that I am reluctant, but there is not much liquor left in my hand, since Brother Ran still has good wine in his hand, today Wu will give up his life to accompany the gentleman and get drunk with you." ”
"Bah, I'm not a gentleman, I'm a villain, a villain. "Ran Cao's tongue is a little big, dozens of jars of liquor are in his stomach, and he has not used true qi to catalyze, Rao is Ran Caotian's cultivation is also a little uncomfortable.
But when he grew so big, it was the first time he had met such a bold person, and Wu Qiutian's drinking posture was quite appetizing to him, so he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and decided to have a drunk with Wu Qiutian.
Suddenly, a disciple came to report, saying that a distinguished guest had appeared, Zhou Xianru had fallen asleep, and Wu Qiutian had to ask, "Who is here?"
The man said: "It's two middle-aged scribes, I heard that they came to find you." ”
"Scribe, find me, let them in. Wu Qiutian really couldn't remember when he met two scribe friends, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
After a while, Menzi led the two in, and Wu Qiutian saw that he didn't know these two people, and there didn't seem to be any mana fluctuations on the two of them.
The middle-aged Confucian and the bald Taoist had changed their appearance, and Wu Qiutian naturally couldn't recognize who the two were. Even if there is no change, it is estimated that Wu Qiutian can guess the identity of the bald Taoist at most, but he cannot know the identity of the middle-aged Confucian with certainty.
After glancing at the two of them, Wu Qiutian took a sip of wine and said lightly: "I don't know what the two of you are looking for Wu?"
The middle-aged Confucian said: "The two of us admire Mr. for his strength and win glory for Da Chu, so I want to meet Mr. to express my gratitude." Mr. is a great Chu person, and Mr. can stand up, but also win glory for Da Chu, and by the way, I want to invite Mr. to have a glass of wine. ”
Wu Qiutian smiled and waved his hand: "No need to thank you, what I did has nothing to do with Nan Chu." I said I'm a person without borders, so you don't have to thank me. In front of the commander of the Protectorate of the Qin State, you will only misunderstand people by saying these words. Also, if you want to drink, here, I just don't know if you two weak scholars can stand these spirits. ”
The middle-aged scribe who was transformed into a bald Taoist said: "Haha, the leader of the Wu Alliance is really a bold person, and the two of us are not weak scholars, and my favorite thing in my life is to drink spirits. ”
Ran Cao also said: "Come on, come on, many people drink and many people talk, although you are literati, Brother Wu and I are martial artists, but being able to sit and drink together is a friend and a brother." If nothing else, you're late, so let's have a drink first. ”
The cup was the size of a fist, and the amount of a cup and a half catty was drunk without blinking an eye, and they did not show discomfort. This made Ran Cao extremely happy, and it was a very happy thing for him to meet several people who could drink in one day.
The four of them began to push the cup and change the lamp at the table, and the poor mother-in-law had to prepare dishes for them at night to facilitate the wine, and the same pitiful ones were Xuanyuan Ziyi and Princess Xuelan, one of them was a golden branch and a jade leaf, and the other was noble, and they couldn't rest until the middle of the night in order to wait for their own men. Especially Princess Xuelan, she is just an ordinary person, she does not have a good physique like Xuanyuan Ziyi, and her body is already extremely tired.
After drinking a few jars of wine, everyone's words opened, and the middle-aged scribe said: "Has the leader of the Wu Alliance considered opening the Heaven Breaking Branch to Nanchu, after all, this is the hometown of the alliance leader, and it doesn't matter if the headquarters is not located in Nanchu, even if the first branch is not located in Nanchu, the people in my hometown are probably not very happy." ”
Wu Qiutian swallowed a bite of food: "Breaking the sky is my breaking the sky, it is the breaking of my brothers, you appreciate your face, then the breaking heaven brothers eat more mouthfuls, and if you don't appreciate your face, Wu will never force it." Whether the people in my hometown are happy or not has nothing to do with me. I just need to do my own thing, protect the people I want to protect, whatever I want. ”
The middle-aged Confucian couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that the leader of the Wu Alliance really doesn't have any affection for his hometown?"
Putting the wine glass in his hand on the table, Wu Qiutian said loudly: "Wu Mou does things, I don't know if it's worthy of heaven, and I don't know if it's worthy of the ground, but it's definitely worthy of my conscience." If I don't show mercy, I will go all the way to the bitter cold land of Saibei and use tens of millions of catties of cold iron in the hands of the Snow Mountain Sect? If I don't show mercy, I, Wu Qiutian, will do something that is out of my identity because of your emperor's words? It is because Wu has shown mercy, for the sake of my brother, and for the sake of my little nephew who is still in infancy, that Wu will do these things, otherwise do you think that today, how many people can order Wu to do that kind of thing?"
This snatching of the white was polite and courteous, and the middle-aged Confucian couldn't find a good rebuttal for a while.
The middle-aged scribe persuaded him and said: "Lao Li, what are you doing, the master of the Wu Alliance is the proud son of the world, a rare talent, you ask a fart." Here, Umno Alliance, cheers. ”
Ran Cao stared at the middle-aged Confucian for a while with a pair of blood-red eyes before saying, "You scholar, you don't understand the rules too much, and you will punish yourself with three cups." ”
The middle-aged Confucian picked up the wine glass while laughing dryly, and drank three glasses of wine in a row, Ran Cao laughed, and Wu Qiutian's face softened slightly.
He can completely understand the other party's feelings, these scholars have always stood on the national throne to look at the problem, the dispute between the nine countries has been a long time, and it is not a day or two that can release the previous suspicions.
He also considered making Nanchu the first branch, but the time is not yet ripe, firstly, there are not many people around him, even if some people use it, it is not yet the time to be completely assured. In addition, it was still a question whether these people would be able to take on the heavy responsibility, so he decided to wait and see.
He didn't know, because of his actions in Nanchu, people in the world basically knew that there was a witch and a hater, because his matter had spread throughout the entire Kyushu Continent.
Now, the Nine Kingdoms already know the people of Wu Qiutian, but there are still many people who have not seen his true face of Lushan, so it cannot be said that everyone knows everything.
After a while, the middle-aged scribe asked, "How long does the Wu Alliance Lord plan to stay in Southern Chu this time?"
Wu Qiutian's vigilance was raised immediately, like Zhou Xianru, a person from Southern Chu who has a good relationship with him, it is not so strange to call himself Southern Chu, but everyone else basically calls himself Great Chu. And this person said Nanchu, which proves that this person may not be from Nanchu.
He shook his head and said, "I don't know yet, Mr. is not from Southern Chu?"
The middle-aged scribe smiled and said: "I am a Han person, not a Southern Chu person, but my brother is an authentic Southern Chu person, who happened to live in his house, and heard that the Lord of the Wu League had arrived, so he took the liberty to ask to see him." ”
Wu Qiutian didn't fully believe the other party's explanation, and many people did know the news of his coming to Nanchu, but like these two people, they were not afraid of anything, they didn't care about anything, and they didn't say anything about visiting late at night, but there was no one. So he instinctively added a defensive psychology to the two of them in his heart, and he was also perfunctory in the next two people's questions.
After three rounds of drinking, the night was completely dark, Ran Cao stayed to rest, the two middle-aged people said goodbye and left, and Wu Qiutian continued to sit at the table.
After the two of them left the prime minister's mansion, they immediately showed their true faces, and their bald heads said: "Damn, this kid's vigilance is really not ordinarily high, and he actually found fault with my words, fortunately, Lao Tzu's head turned quickly, otherwise he would definitely be suspicious." ”
The middle-aged Confucian smiled slightly: "Old man, do you think that kid is not suspicious, he has long been suspicious, you didn't see what we asked later, he was perfunctory, pretending not to understand anything." ”
The bald Taoist chuckled in his heart and shouted: "It's not good, let's go!"
Before the middle-aged Confucian could react, Wu Qiutian's voice had already come from behind him: "Two friends came to visit late at night, I think they wanted to inquire about the news, Wu kindly invited the two to drink, don't they even want Wu to see their true faces?"
The two of them who were about to leave quickly paused, and the middle-aged Confucian turned his forehead helplessly: "The little guy who came out of the witch gate is really treacherous, and he can find clues." I don't mean anything but want to ask you how you've decided to go your way. ”
Wu Qiutian snorted coldly: "How I go my way, that's my own business, what does it have to do with you? Even if I tell you that tomorrow I change my mind, you will get nothing." ”
Although he said this to the middle-aged scribe, his eyes were firmly fixed on the bald man.
"Boy, don't be too rampant, it's not good for you to be too rampant. The middle-aged Confucian said angrily.
Wu Qiutian suddenly said: "Ancestor, don't change, I know it's you." ”
