Chapter 88: Shooting oneself in the foot
The huge reception room was crowded with generals from both sides.
On the large table in the middle, the wine bowls stacked up like a pagoda made everyone who entered the room take a breath.
There are ten bowls at the bottom, and then numbers like nine, eight, seventy-six are added up,
there are fifty-five bowls of wine.
The two sides inspect each other's raised wine jugs, and each chooses one person to pour wine for the other.
The wine bowl was naturally filled to the brim and was about to overflow.
Even if you pour one more drop for the other party!
Maybe the other party will fall on this extra drop.
The masters compete with each other, but the difference is only a matter of millimeters.
But no one thought that the two bettors could finish the fifty-five bowls of wine.
Even if it’s water, I’m afraid I can’t drink it.
The gamblers standing on both sides of the table this time formed a sharp contrast.
Xiao Dongwei, over eight feet tall, has a burly build, one eye is shining brightly, and the other is particularly eye-catching with a black eye patch. If you stand there, you will see a fierce look! With a smile on his face, he has a winning hand.
Across from him, Xia Zhi, who had taken off her armor and was dressed in red, had her hair braided. The long braid was coiled on her head and wrapped with a red silk handkerchief. She also looked tall among women. Less than seven feet tall, with a slender figure and a slim waist, she stood there looking pitiful without wearing armor or holding a sword.
Xiao Dongwei didn't care at all that the group of horse bandits across the room looked at him with ferocious eyes that seemed to want to kill someone, well, or maybe they looked at him with contempt.
A bunch of dead horse bandits!
This is the art of war, do you know?
Leverage your strengths and avoid your weaknesses! Avoid the truth and attack the fictitious!
Seize the enemy's weak spot, hit him hard and never let him go!
I am thirty-six this year. I have been immersed in wine for more than 20 years. Every part of my body has been baptized by alcohol. I have an iron stomach that makes wine helpless. Has the little girl across from you drunk?
Hahaha!
You asked me to choose.
This is called asking for trouble.
Looking at Gu Xiaoman's dissatisfied look, and then looking at Fang Mao Mao standing nervously next to Xia Zhi, ready to take action at any time, Xiao Dongwei was extremely satisfied.
You are not allowed to use your inner strength to turn wine into wine. Anyone who dares to do so will simply admit defeat!
This is Xiao Dongwei’s request.
"Please!" He pretended to put his hand on his chest, bowed slightly, and asked Xia Zhi to drink first. He lowered his head slightly, but he couldn't hide his smile.
Looking up, his smile was a little frozen.
Because the girl in red opposite had already finished the top three bowls, like a long whale sucking water, without even changing her breath, she drank three bowls in a row!
The little girl is quite capable!
Xiao Dongwei put away some of his contempt, picked up the top bowl of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.
One bowl after another, one bowl after another.
The sound of cheering in the room gradually became quieter until there was no sound.
Not to mention Xiao Changche’s subordinates, even the generals of the Third Battalion of the Horse Bandit World and People here were stunned at this time.
Is it okay to drink during the summer solstice?
I haven’t seen it before!
Where did those bowls of wine go?
Xiao Dongwei also felt that something was wrong at this time.
I am already feeling a little sick, and waves of heat are coming from my body. When I look at the things in front of me, I feel a little shaken. Why hasn’t the little girl across from me fallen down yet?
And it seems that his face has not changed much!
Putting another bowl of wine to his mouth, he drank it down, put down the bowl, and heard a sneer from the other side: "General Xiao, what are you doing? Are you raising fish? Drink it all!"
When Xiao Dongwei lowered his head, it turned out that there was still some residual wine in the bowl that had not been finished.
He gritted his teeth and drank down the wine in the bowl until not a drop was left, and even specially lit the bottom of the bowl for Xia Zhi.
"Come again!" A loud voice came from the other side. "Whoever falls first is the grandson!"
Seeing Xia Zhi jump up to the table and sit cross-legged, holding a wine bowl in each hand, Xiao Dongwei was secretly happy, couldn't he hold on anymore? Got drunk? Going crazy!
Come on, come on, drink faster, and never give the other person a chance to sober up.
Looking at that little cat looking eager to give it a try, he must have known that the little girl was about to be unable to withstand it.
"Commander Xia, do it!"
"Commander Xia, come again!"
"Xia Xia, girl, drink!"
"Little girl, don't dangle in front of me. Sit tight and do it!"
"Hey, Xia Zhi, don't cheat, Why did you have sex with two people?"
Xiao Dongwei's roar came from the room.
The Xiao generals lowered their heads one by one. They saw that their general's clothes were now open, revealing the black hair on his chest. The black eye mask was thrown on the table. He was holding a wine bowl in one hand, but he was crooked. He stumbled, and although he was still pouring wine into his mouth, more than half of the wine was poured on the ground.
On the other hand, the little girl opposite was sitting cross-legged and as steady as a rock. She drank in a hurry before, but now she was taking it more slowly. It looked slow, but the wine went down quickly.
Seeing that half of Xiao Dongwei's bowl of wine fell to the ground, the woman in red was annoyed. With a swipe, she slid in front of Xiao Dongwei from the opposite side. Fang Mao Mao stretched out her hand and failed to catch it. Watching Xia Zhi arrive in front of Xiao Dongwei, he grabbed Xiao Dongwei's ear with one hand, picked up a bowl of wine with the other hand, and drank it hard.
Without saying anything, he picked up another bowl of wine and poured it directly into his mouth.
Everyone in the room was numb.
Xiao Dongwei’s subordinates wanted to rescue their general, but seeing this scene, they felt really embarrassed.
The bear-like Xiao Dongwei was grabbed by the woman in red and forced to drink.
At this time, the big bear was obviously not sober.
“We surrender!” Finally, a very mature-looking general from the Xiao tribe jumped out, looked at Gu Xiaoman and said, “We lost!”
Hearing the admission of defeat, the woman in red laughed loudly and poured another bowl of wine into Xiao Dongwei's mouth. Then she jumped back on the table, turned around, fell back, poured a bowl of wine into her mouth first, then pointed at Xiao Dongwei and said : "I am willing to admit defeat!"
"I can still drink!" Xiao Dongwei roared and tried to walk back to the table, but after spinning around for a few times, he finally fell down heavily.
At this time, only the last layer of the fifty-five bowls of wine was left.
Bu Xiao carried Xiao Dongwei and walked out. Many people couldn't help but feel a little pain in their teeth when they saw the woman in red still picking up the wine and drinking.
General Xiao seems to have fallen into the opponent's trap this time.
This summer solstice is a wine barrel.
Why are our generals still avoiding reality? It's obvious that others are taking advantage of the situation, so please join me!
Then he killed his own general to a pulp, and he had nothing to say after losing.
The key is that you lose and get a bad reputation!
This matter requires a gag order and cannot be spoken of!
But these horse bandits may not help General Xiao hide it.
How sad!
The Xiao tribe retreated in an instant, and only the horse bandits were left in the room!
“Stop drinking!” Fang Mao Mao pressed the wine bowl.
"Who are you?" The woman in red looked at Fang MaoMao with confused eyes, and was asking, but her hand had already made a fist, and she punched Fang MaoMao. "Still want to take care of me?"
Fang Mao Mao sighed, held the punch, reached out and snatched the wine bowl from the woman in red.
"Give it back!" the woman in red screamed, raising her hands together, punching and making fierce moves.
“I knew it would be like this!” Gu Xiaoman on the side also sighed, and then he and Fang Xiaomao moved up together, one on the left and one on the right. After three moves and two moves, the woman in red fell straight on the table. Go up and fall asleep soundly.
"If the young master comes back and finds out that we let Xia Zhi drink like this, I'm afraid the two of us will be in trouble!" said Fang Mao Mao.
"This has nothing to do with us. It was chosen by Xiao Dongwei, and this unnumbered warehouse is full of good things!" Gu Xiaoman said: "For the sake of the great cause of the young master, I have to drink once in a while. , it’s forgivable!”
“You will report this when the young master comes back!”
"I think it's better for the two of us to work together!"
Fang Xiaomeng and Gu Xiaoman looked at each other, stretched out their hands and slapped them hard, which was considered a deal.
Xia Zhi is very good at drinking, and once he drinks, it is not easy to stop. If he does not stop easily, he will get drunk easily. Once drunk, the wine is not very good, and he likes to beat people!
Fang Maomao is a little nervous today because she is afraid that Xia Zhi will beat someone if she drinks too much!
In any case, Xiao Dongwei is also an ally now!
"No one is allowed to tell anyone about this!" Gu Xiaoman looked at the generals of the third battalion of the Tiandi Camp in the room, "I will pull out the tongue of anyone who chews his tongue!"
"Yes!"
Everyone in the room nodded hurriedly.
On the second day after the two parties had a drinking party, Zhang Ruo entered Aquarius City under the escort of Yuan Rong and Yuan Tong with a group of knights.
Standing outside the city, looking up at the row of heads of the Yan clan hanging above the city head, he once again saw the lawlessness outside the pass.
Speaking of which, Yan Shengke was also the governor of a state appointed by the imperial court!
But now, Xiao Changche and his gang of horse bandits are killing people at will. Not only are they killing people, but they are also wiping out other people's clans and occupying other people's territory.
This is outside the customs!
Strength is king!
Fortunately, this site was finally handed over to Xiao Changche for management, which made Zhang Ruo feel slightly better.
"It's a pity that our brothers didn't catch up with such a big battle!" The Yuan brothers sighed. Although they had joined the army, they were eventually arranged by Xiao Changche to be Zhang Ruo's guard captain, responsible for Zhang Ruo's bodyguard. If it's safe.
Xiao Changche no longer wants to kill Zhang Ruo, but there are still people who want to kill him!
The reward in Tai'an City has not been cancelled, and Marshal Linghu may be targeting Xiao Jiujiu in his heart!
If Xiao Changche doesn’t take action, we can’t rule out the possibility that he will send a few people to help Xiao Changche!
Anyway, it will be Xiao Changche who pays the final bill, right?
Therefore, Zhang Ruo still needs to have a few very capable generals around him.
The Yuan brothers are undoubtedly the best candidates.
We are familiar with Zhang Ruo and trust him.
Extensive experience in the arena.
We still have a little bit of preparation for going into battle, but dealing with the assassination of these monsters and monsters is a piece of cake.
Xiao Dongwei finally sobered up, but he had a severe headache and walked crookedly.
"Where is Xiao Cheqi?" Zhang Ruo glanced at Xiao Dongwei with dissatisfaction. As a general in charge of the army, he drank wantonly and drank himself like this after the victory. His self-discipline was really poor.
"Xiao Cheqi has something to do and is out!" Xiao Dongwei could only speak vaguely.
“Confused, he’s not here for such a big event?” Zhang Ruo became even more annoyed.
"Xueshi Zhang, anyway, the general said that after you come, this stall will be handed over to you and it will be up to you!" Xiao Dongwei said: "Aquarius State belongs to us now."
Zhang Ruo pondered for a while, then pointed at the horse bandits who were moving things out: "Where are those people?"
"The management belongs to us, and the business belongs to them!" Xiao Dongwei said. "In the future, our two families will work together to make a fortune together!"
Hearing what Xiao Dongwei said, Zhang Ruo glanced at him angrily, then walked inside with a flick of his sleeves: "Let me know as soon as General Chariot and Cavalry comes back. ! ”
