"Want me to have a drink?"
Seeing a group of people approaching menacingly, carrying several wine jars, Zhang Fei's eyes immediately became meaningful.
What kind of drinking and conversation is this? These guys are just trying to get themselves ripped off and expect to spill the beans after drinking.
He glanced at Xu You beside him, regretting that he had left Mi Zhu here earlier.
This guy doesn't look like he can hold his liquor; he might make a fool of himself if he drinks too much. Looks like I'll have to be the main drinker this time; this is going to be a tough battle.
Seeing Zhang Fei's wary expression, Ashley knew his worries and immediately smiled kindly.
He explained, "Don't worry, Your Excellency, I brought some Western wine this time. It's very mild, even women can drink it, so you definitely won't get drunk."
Snap!
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fei's face turned green. This was clearly saying that while women could drink this kind of wine, you couldn't.
He slammed his hand on the table and sneered, "Haha, it's just drinking, I've never been afraid of anyone."
" Xu You, bring out our fine wine as well, so that our guests may have a good taste."
After saying that, he winked at Xu You, "You treated me to wine, so I'll let you try some strong liquor and see who can't take it first."
The latter understood immediately and quickly went down to get the wine; the other three imperial physicians probably also needed a portion of the hangover pills they had prepared.
Xu You returned quickly, sent someone to place several jars of strong liquor on the table, and then discreetly distributed a few pills to Zhang Fei.
Damn it, let's fight!
Ashley smiled broadly and said kindly, "My lord is skilled in both literature and martial arts. I have heard of this throughout the Frostwest Empire. Seeing you today, I can confirm that you are indeed exceptionally brave."
I've been to Great Liang before, and I love making friends with the heroes of Great Liang!
Today, let me first raise a glass to you!
Hahaha!
Upon hearing that he was skilled in both literature and martial arts, and that his fame had even spread to Western countries, Zhang Fei immediately beamed with joy.
This wasn't an act; he was genuinely very proud.
He patted his chest and said, "Brother, you have a good eye. I'm not bragging. In terms of martial arts, back in Xiliang, I single-handedly took on dozens of gangs, and no one could stop me."
I was equally eager to contribute my academic paper; it was I who personally drew the illustrations for " The Rise of the Empire " when the Emperor's army marched into the capital...
Forehead!
Xu You's lips twitched. His martial arts Xu You were not to brag, but his writing was a bit outrageous.
The Emperor himself said your style is abstract art, yet you're acting like a painting master—that's a bit far-fetched.
Ashley, however, maintained his smile, looking at Zhang Fei with admiration, and casually poured him a glass of wine.
"I have the utmost respect for heroes, so let me raise a toast to you first!"
"Good!"
Zhang Fei glanced at him, nodded, and smiled, "Thank you. I'll try your wine and see what I think."
He tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.
He took a small sip, frowned, and said, "Uh, this wine tastes weird, sour and unpleasant, it doesn't taste good at all!"
Forehead!
Hearing him speak of his own wine like that, Ashley's eyes lit up with a smile instead of anger. What a kind man! He didn't even need to pour the wine for himself.
If I drink like this, I could leave work early.
He laughed and said, "Brother, don't underestimate our wine. It's good for your skin and makes it smoother. In the West, most people aren't even qualified to drink it!"
"Beauty and skincare?"
Zhang Fei's eyes lit up. If that's the case, then having a few drinks might make him even more handsome and energetic!
However, he didn't let Ashley off the hook either, and said with a smile, "Brother, you've treated me to such good wine. I, Zhang Yide, am not the kind of person who doesn't know what's good for me. I'll treat you to this Hero's Wine."
This wine was brewed by our Emperor himself. Legend has it that a hero drank it and, in his drunken stupor, beat a tiger to death. So this is the wine that the men of Great Liang drink.
You have too much yin energy; you should drink more " Hero's Wine."
Hero's Wine?
Upon hearing Zhang Fei's words, Ashley's lips twitched. What kind of nonsense was this? He'd never heard of it before. He cursed inwardly, thinking, "This scoundrel clearly made it up to mock me for being a woman."
Damn it, who's afraid of who!
He let Xu You fill his bowl with a bowl of "Hero's Wine," and then, imitating Zhang Fei, drank it all in one gulp.
Holy crap!
As soon as the alcohol went down his throat, he felt a burning sensation and almost vomited. His body temperature rose instantly, and he even felt a little dizzy.
He shook his head, forcing himself to stay alert. This was definitely a man's drink; he almost couldn't handle even one glass.
"Haha, you're a hero, let's go again!"
Seeing how helpful he was, Zhang Fei couldn't help but laugh. He refilled Zhang Fei's glass and then poured himself a glass of wine.
"Drink!"
"Drink!!!"
Ashley felt a chill run down his spine. If this continued, he was afraid he would collapse here. He gave Abucha and Cha'er a look, indicating that they had to take turns; one person couldn't handle it.
Abucha instantly understood, raised his glass and laughed, "A hero like the Grand Commander is admired by everyone, I'll also toast you!"
"Drink!"
I'll also raise a toast to you!
"Drink!"
Zhang Fei accepted all offers of wine and drank five or six cups in a row. Then he looked at Ashley and laughed, "Brother, you said you'd been to Great Liang before. When did you come?"
Forehead!
Upon hearing this, Ashley was still somewhat dazed, immediately turned pale. Back when he first arrived, it was still the Great Ning Dynasty, and he and his nephew had been utterly defeated by Cai Yu, the so-called "Wall of Xining."
How the hell are you going to blow that up?
He blushed and said, "Back then, it was Li Anlan of Great Ning who invited me here. Great Ning was far inferior to what it is now. Your Emperor was truly amazing."
" Li Anlan??" Zhang Fei's face also turned red, and he glared angrily at Ashley.
Ashley was startled, but nodded nonetheless.
"It was Li Anlan back then..."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a fist the size of a sandbag came flying at him. Zhang Fei, his face flushed red, unleashed a flurry of punches, shouting, "You little Li Anlan dares to show off your skills before an expert? Watch me, Zhang Yide of Great Liang, take your dog's life!"
Holy crap!
Ashley's face turned green, but this time not from anger, but from being beaten black and blue. He retreated to the side in a sorry state, glaring at Cha'er, thinking, "This bastard didn't even protect me."
"Cough cough!"
Cha'er looked bitter and whispered, "I told you that was his weakness, and now he's completely drunk."
this...
Ashley's face stiffened. This was definitely a weakness; he was drunk and randomly hitting people.
This is a flaw, but most people can't withstand it.
"My lord, please forgive us! Our Grand Commander tends to talk nonsense and hit people when he's drunk. We're so sorry! I'll go make some ginger soup to sober him up. Please take care of him." Xu You said with a dry laugh, looking at the furious Ashley.
