Money in the heavens

Zhang Jianxin's idea is very simple and crude.

Since I can't defeat you, let's have a drink!

And his words are indeed quite polite. The Jiujiang double-distilled wine produced in Gushan County is not an ordinary fine wine, but a high-strength liquor brewed by the double-distillation method. This high-strength liquor was used by a certain emperor of the Tang Dynasty to soften the grassland. The will of the barbarians and the iron-blooded energy of the corrupted tribes have achieved miraculous results. Since then, it has become a secret craft closely guarded by the empire. It is often used to bargain with the grassland tribes in negotiations and is rarely used for human consumption.

This wine is so strong that most people can't bear it. Even a strong man can only drink it in one bowl.

It was much stronger than the three bowls of butangang that had deceived Wu Song. Therefore, this wine can only be tasted in small sips.

Zhang Jianxin served the wine not because he wanted to drink, but because he wanted to teach Prince Longqing a lesson about his drinking capacity.

Therefore, while everyone else was putting on delicate small cups, Zhang Jianxin put on two large bowls and said to Prince Long Qing:

"Does Xiling Temple prohibit alcohol?"

He was obviously preparing to defeat this man who seemed flawless and almost incapable of failure over wine.

Shang Yi shook his head slightly. He knew what Zhang Jianxin was thinking, but he also knew that he was destined to fail and step into the hole he dug.

However, when I looked at the little maid Sangsang next to Ning Que in the corner, holding a wine bottle and drinking, I couldn't help but look forward to how wonderful everyone's expressions would be.

This kind of slap-in-the-face scene seems to be something that only Ning Que, the protagonist of the novel, can encounter. Anyway, Shang Yi has not encountered any bloody plots in these years where he pretends to be slap-in-the-face.

Sure enough, how could Prince Longqing, who was in the upper realm of Dongxuan, lose to an ordinary general in drinking? This is as simple as Ning Que going to a gambling house to cheat money after being able to practice cultivation a few days ago.

One bowl, two bowls, three bowls, four bowls... Long Qing picked up the small bowl in front of him and drank directly. Zhang Jianxin and Ben couldn't keep up with Long Qing's speed, and soon couldn't resist the drunkenness and fell down.

Long Qing, on the other hand, did not stop and even commented on Xie Chengyun and Wang Ying one by one. He said that they were convinced and even secretly happy.

Ever since Zhong Dajun had even set up, he had been waiting for Long Qing's roll call, but they were not taken seriously by Long Qing at all.

In this way, it seems that all the academy students on the left and right have been defeated by Long Qing.

Long Qing said slightly sarcastically:

"The academy...is really famous. I just hope that the real academy will not disappoint me!"

Obviously, these ordinary disciples in the front mountain were no longer taken seriously by Long Qing. His target was already the direct disciples of the Master on the second floor of the academy.

Li Yu couldn't help but mocked slightly:

"What a loud tone. If you don't know where the real academy is, how could you come all the way from Xiling to Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, to be this hostage? How could the headmaster and the three great priests let you come? Be a college student.”

Long Qing was silent for a while. He knew where the academy was. The reason why he was so proud was because the Yan State was weak.

Only in this way can you keep yourself strong.

At this time, everyone fell silent, and Shang Yi became more and more expectant, because at this time the banquet could be heard, and everyone would also hear the sound of the dark little maid drinking.

Sure enough, everyone heard the sound of gurgling in the corner behind Ning Que, and looked at where they were not understanding what was going on.

A moment later, Sangsang, who was thin and wearing a maid uniform, walked out from behind Ning Que holding an empty wine bowl. Then she was shocked to find that she had become the center of attention. For some reason, everyone in the room looked like Looking at him like a god.

Sangsang found so many eyes staring at her and felt extremely uncomfortable. She raised her right sleeve and wiped her mouth, carefully placed the wine bowl on the table in front of Ning Que, and then quietly retreated behind Ning Que.

At the same time, everyone also discovered four empty wine jars placed in the corner.

At this time, Ning Que also realized that something was wrong, especially when he saw Li Yu with a look of surprise in his eyes, he secretly thought that it was not good. He was not willing to face a fierce person like Long Qing.

Especially when he saw that Long Qing was a perfectionist. If he really lost a little face here, he would try every means to get it back.

Unfortunately, ideals are full and reality is skinny. Li Yu still asked:

"Ning Que, are the four wine cans around you empty?"

Ning Que had no choice but to answer honestly:

"It's all empty."

Li Yu laughed and scolded:

"There are probably more than a dozen bowls in the four cans. You are truly worthy of being a drunkard!"

Ning Que could only say:

"Sang Sang drank it all."

Li Yu said with a half-smile:

"This palace is surprised that Sangsang, a thirteen-year-old girl, has such a big drinking capacity!"

Although Li Yu's words did not mention Long Qing, everyone knew the implication of Li Yu's words, that is, should the prince condescend to have a drink with this little maid?

Priest Mo Li looked at Sangsang who was wearing maid uniform in the corner and asked displeasedly:

"Is Sangsang also a student of the academy?"

The students in the academy had an indifferent relationship with Ning Que, and were even vaguely hostile, so no one would help Ning Que hide it, so someone said:

"That's Ning Que's little maid."

Priest Moli suddenly became furious and said:

"Today's banquet is to see the prince off. It is so important that you, the students of the academy, are already not easy to attend. How can we let a little maid mingle among them!"

The hierarchy of the Xiling Temple is strict. For the Xiling priests who have been there for many years, drinking with a lowly maid is indeed a great insult.

Li Yu said calmly:

"That girl is familiar with me, so she is my friend!"

Such words made the Xiling priest very angry. When he was about to use this to attack, Shang Yi glanced at him calmly and said:

"Humph, seeing off the prince? College student? A lowly maid?

Prince Chongming is just the prince of the defeated country Yan, and he is also a hostage of my Tang Empire. These college students will be talents of my Tang Empire in the future. For a hostage, this is already a broad mind of my Tang Empire.

When did you, Xiling Temple, become a running dog of Yan? You are helping a Yan prince to speak like this. Do you want to give up Longqing, who is about to become a hostage, and support Chongming instead?"

Shang Yi's words were very harsh, and it can be said that he satirized Yan and Xiling very much. Everyone present was shocked.

The priests of Chongming, Longqing and Xiling all changed color, and even the face of the great priest Tianyu was very ugly.

Because Shang Yi simply trampled Yan State and Xiling Temple under his feet, and rubbed them repeatedly. How could they endure such an insult?

Long Qing and Mo Li, the priest, were about to attack Shang Yi, but they found that the surrounding heaven and earth energy imprisoned them in place and could not move.

"Know... Know your fate!"

Long Qing gritted his teeth and spat out three words. Shang Yi nodded and shook his head and said:

"You have some knowledge, but your knowledge is not enough! Why not listen to what the great priest Tianyu said!"

After a moment of silence, the great priest Tianyu finally said four words with difficulty:

"Above the five realms!"

It's not that he didn't want to say it, but he was also imprisoned by the heaven and earth energy. He tried his best to spit out these four words...
