Chapter 194 Good drink
"Well, I, the Huns, will take the three tribes on the border and bet that my general, General Ges, will win! Haha...!"
The envoy Harry smiled happily.
As long as Gus can drink three bowls of wine without getting drunk, Ying Zheng will pay them three cities.
They asked again and again whether it counted, and the Emperor of Qin flatly agreed. If he wanted to go back on his word, his reputation would be ruined!
"Then it's settled. If the young master wins, the Xiongnu will cede the three border tribes. If the young master loses, I, Da Qin, will pay compensation for three cities!"
Ying Zheng waved his hand and settled the bet with a smile on his face.
"Father, there is no proof for what you say, we have to make a written statement!"
At this moment, Xiaoshota suddenly smiled and spoke.
"Yes, yes, establish written evidence!"
Ying Zheng reacted immediately and nodded repeatedly.
Without any instructions, the young eunuch Jingfu hurried out to prepare!
After a while, he ran back with two pieces of paper and placed them in front of Ying Zheng and the envoy!
The envoy was also afraid that Ying Zheng would not admit his fault, so he happily pressed his fingerprints on it!
This matter is settled!
"But is there anyone else who wants to place a bet?"
Ying Zheng glanced at the other envoys.
"Well...if His Majesty allows it, I plan to spend a thousand gold coins to help the fun!"
One of the Xiongnu envoys spoke tentatively.
This is a bet made in his personal capacity and does not represent the Huns!
"Okay! Jingfu, make a written statement!"
Ying Zheng immediately agreed without even thinking about it.
"Then I'll spend a thousand gold!"
"I'll deposit five hundred gold!"
"I'll pay five hundred gold too...!"
Seeing that Ying Zheng agreed, several other people also spoke up and deposited a lot of money.
As long as Gus drinks three bowls of wine, they will make a fortune!
All the money he won was kept in his own pocket.
Go back and buy some specialties from the Central Plains to take back to your wife and children at home!
This is the same as picking it up for free!
"No problem, you can deposit as much as you want. If you don't have enough money with you, just make a written note!"
Ying Zheng was smiling all over his face.
He wished that these people bet more, it would be even better if they could come up with the money now!
But it's a pity that there are no banknotes at this time. Who can carry so much gold with him?
"Mingde, go and get the Wuliangye puree out of my palace!"
Seeing that no one was continuing to place bets, the young lady gave an order to the young eunuch beside him.
"Wuliangye puree?"
Mingde suddenly showed a shocked expression.
This kind of wine was brought back by the young master a few days ago. It is said to be reformed on the basis of Wuliangye and is particularly strong.
He didn't believe it, so he begged the young master to let him try it. As a result, after one gulp, he got drunk on the spot. He didn't even climb into bed and slept on the ground all day. He only sobered up slightly at night!
After that, he would never touch this wine again until he died!
No wonder the young master was so confident in making a bet with these Huns envoys that they were going to bring out this kind of wine!
Now the envoys are going to be in trouble!
"Yes! Puree, go get it quickly!"
Xiao Zhengtai nodded firmly and winked at him, "Bring over the little jade cup that I just made!"
"yes!"
Jingfu nodded and went to do it quickly.
“What is Wuliangye puree?”
"I've never heard of it. Maybe it's better than Wuliangye?"
"Wuliangye is already the best among wines. Is there any other wine that is better than Wuliangye?"
"Who knows!"
…
Upon hearing the name of the wine, the ministers were filled with doubts and could only pray in their hearts that this wine was a strong one and that the envoys could not drink more than three bowls.
In just a moment, the young eunuch Jing Fu came back holding a wine jar and holding a small wine cup tightly in his hand!
Opening the seal of the wine jar, Mr. Shota walked to Gus's table on her short legs and poured three full bowls of wine for him.
Wuliangye puree, 72 degrees, strong aroma, was brewed not long ago by Xiao Zhengtai at the winery, and is about to be released, just in time for these Huns to have a try!
"This...are you sure it's wine?"
Seeing the water in the bowl was as clear as water, Gus's two thick eyebrows suddenly knitted together.
He has drank countless wines since he was a child, but he has never seen such clear wine!
Several other envoys were also confused, no one had ever seen such wine!
"Of course I'm sure. Can't you smell the aroma of wine in the air?"
Xiao Zhengtai smiled contemptuously.
"Forehead……"
The envoy was speechless.
Because from the moment he opened the wine jar, the aroma of wine was already overflowing, let alone pouring it into the bowl!
"Several envoys have come from thousands of miles away, and it happens to coincide with my son's birthday. Although I am still young and cannot drink alcohol, I am happy today, so I will drink some with these envoys!"
After saying that, the young lady stretched out her hand, and Jing Fu immediately handed over a small jade cup.
"This is my young master's latest favorite, and drinking is the most suitable thing!"
The wine cup was placed on the table, and Xiao Shota filled it up for himself.
"Can this thing drink? Haha...!"
His operation immediately caused the envoys to burst into laughter.
The jade cup is all green and looks good, but it is too small, not much bigger than the thumbs of prairie men like them!
It can hold a sip of wine at most, but it’s not enough to fill their teeth!
"Why not? I would like to propose a toast to General Gus!"
Xiao Zhengtai gently picked up the wine cup with two fingers, banged it on the wine bowl filled with Wuliangye puree in front of Gus, and said with a smile.
"Hmm!"
Gus snorted coldly, with endless ridicule.
On the grassland, they always drink from sea bowls. The big bowl in front of him is only used by children.
Not to mention such a small wine cup.
In their grasslands, only newborn babies would use such a big one!
Suddenly I felt that the people of Daqin were very petty and did not have the spirit that a man should have!
"Zi Liu..."
"Sha..."
Little Shota took the first sip, and then began to close her eyes tightly and stick out her tongue.
At 72 degrees, I have to say, this wine is really strong!
"Young Master is really good at drinking, I admire you!"
The jade cup was about the size of a thumb, but the boy actually only took a small sip. The Hun General Gus sneered and gave a thumbs up, sarcastically.
Harry pulled Gus's clothes aside to tell him not to be too presumptuous!
They were sure to win this round. If something went wrong and the King of Qin was angered and the game was canceled, it would be more of a loss than a gain!
"Praise to the general!"
However, Ying Zheng didn't say a word, and the young master didn't get angry either. Instead, he smiled cutely.
Harry breathed a sigh of relief, relieved!
"Now it's time for the General to perform!"
Xiao Zhengtai stretched out her hand with a smile on her face and made a gesture of invitation.
But no matter how he looked at this smile, Harry felt that something was wrong.
But he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Chapter completed!
