Inside the Tang Hotel.
Cheng Yaojin returned the jade pendant given to Li Chengqian by the Tibetan envoy to Ni Ye, the Tibetan envoy.
Ni Ye's face was full of confusion. He didn't understand why.
Could it be that the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty also had prejudices against them?
Or, does it simply mean the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?
"But His Highness the Crown Prince, do you think it's inappropriate for us to give you this gift?"
Seeing that Cheng Yaojin was silent, Ni Ye asked tentatively: "Or maybe you think this gift is too light?"
In fact, it’s no wonder people think too much about this, after all, Li Chengqian’s identity lies there.
He is the crown prince and the future emperor.
Any decision he makes casually may represent the emperor's intention.
At this moment, the gift was returned, which obviously had a voiceover.
Therefore, Ni Ye did not take back the gift.
He looked at Cheng Yaojin blankly, hoping that Cheng Yaojin could give him an answer.
Cheng Yaojin said calmly: "Don't think too much, it has no other meaning, just take it back."
After saying that, he turned around and left regardless of Ni Ye's expression.
Seeing this scene, Ni Ye hurried forward and blocked Cheng Yaojin's way: "Master Lu Guogong, don't leave in a hurry."
He came to Chang'an City to do big things.
If the army fails to succeed and offends the Tang Prince first, it will be a bad choice.
After all, he had heard of the reputation of Prince Li Chengqian of the Tang Dynasty.
Even though that guy is only eighteen years old this year, he has been fighting for the Tang Dynasty for nearly ten years.
Just thinking about these things, it was not difficult for him to guess the importance of this guy in the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, wooing Li Chengqian was something he had planned long ago.
On the way, I kept thinking about what items to give to Li Chengqian.
Finally, he decided to give this valuable jade pendant as a gift, and asked for directions first to see Li Chengqian's appetite and preferences.
"Why don't you leave in a hurry?"
"Is it possible that you want to stay for dinner?"
Cheng Yaojin said straightly: "There's no need for dinner, I've already prepared food at home."
Hearing this, Ni Ye's eyes lit up and he felt like there was a way out.
Therefore, he said: "Because of this trivial matter, I asked Duke Lu to make a special trip. We really feel bad about it."
"Besides, I have always admired Duke Lu's reputation."
"When I saw him today, I felt admiration in my heart like a surging river."
"It just so happens that when I came to Chang'an, I brought several bottles of fine wine."
"Open the wine today and let's have a drink."
Ni Ye bowed to Cheng Yaojin to the end and said: "I hope Duke Lu will not dislike it and never refuse me..."
After hearing these words, Cheng Yaojin pretended to hesitate and said: "I'm afraid this is not good, after all, you and I are in two different camps..."
"General Cheng's words are wrong..."
Ni Ye looked at Cheng Yaojin and said, "In accordance with the courtesy of the superior country, Lu Guogong accepted the wind for the envoys of the lower country."
"It not only shows the spirit of the Tang Dynasty, but also shows the magnanimity of Duke Lu. Isn't this great?"
Ni Ye grabbed Cheng Huailiang's arm and said, "Come on, come on, General Cheng, don't be polite."
While summoning the clerk to order food and drinks, he took Cheng Yaojin and sat on the futon while minding his own business.
Not long after, the food and drinks were summoned.
When the clerk passed by Ni Ye, Ni Ye looked up at the clerk and asked, "Are these the fine wines I brought from China?"
"That's natural."
"When entertaining distinguished guests, it is natural to use the best wine."
After saying that, the clerk did not forget to wink at Ni Ye.
Obviously, these two guys are doing something secretly.
But they didn't notice that although Cheng Yaojin looked carefree, he was paying attention to this side from the corner of his eyes.
Ni Ye picked up the wine glass and said to Cheng Yaojin: "There is an unwritten rule in our country."
"If distinguished guests come from afar, they must first toast each other three times."
Without waiting for Cheng Yaojin to speak, he drank a glass of wine in one gulp and said, "The first glass is for me, General Cheng."
The clerk immediately helped him fill up his second cup.
"Second cup, I hope the friendship between Tang Dynasty and Tibet will last forever."
As he spoke, he drank the second glass of wine in one gulp.
The clerk immediately filled up his third cup.
Then, Ni Ye grabbed the wine glass again and said, "For the third glass, General Cheng came all the way to catch the wind for me."
Catching the wind?
Pick up your mother's claws.
Do you think I want to help you catch the wind?
You are nothing.
Cheng Yaojin secretly greeted all the eighteen generations of Ni Ye's ancestors.
However, he didn't show it at all on his face.
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin also slowly stood up.
He smiled straight at Ni Ye and said, "Since you are so cheerful, I will also toast you three glasses."
The next moment, he drank all the wine in the glass and said, "I, Old Cheng, are not a good talker, so I just drank it without talking nonsense."
"General Cheng is indeed a cheerful person."
Ni Ye's eyes slowly turned to sneer.
He thought his smile left no trace, but who was Cheng Yaojin?
How could he not see that the other party had no good intentions?
However, after three glasses of wine, Cheng Yaojin's face couldn't help but start to turn red.
Seeing this scene, Ni Ye said directly: "General Cheng, there is indeed a huge amount."
Immediately afterwards, Ni Ye spoke again: "We have a rule in Tubo. After three glasses of entrance wine, there must be three glasses of welcome wine."
"For the next three cups, I'll serve you first."
Then, Ni Ye really drank three more cups in a row.
As a landlord, Cheng Yaojin was naturally not to be outdone, and immediately started drinking with Ni Ye.
Next, after drinking more than a dozen glasses in a row, even a person like Ni Ye, who had been drinking fruit wine for a long time, couldn't bear it anymore.
Naturally, Cheng Yaojin began to sway a little wherever he sat.
Seeing this, Ni Ye is also clear, and it's time.
He said directly: "General Cheng, your drinking capacity is really too much..."
"what is this."
"Even if you give me three more carriages, I can still drink them all."
Cheng Yaojin threw the wine glass aside.
"That's that."
Ni Ye said: "If the general likes this wine, I will ask someone to send you more."
"Send me some more wine?"
"Stop joking with me."
"How come you just gave it to me and drank it?"
Cheng Yaojin said with a self-deprecating smile: "I, old Cheng, are nothing but a reckless warrior. I have shown Duke Lu and General Jin Wuwei all the time."
Hearing this, Ni Ye was also shocked.
He said bluntly: "General Cheng's words are wrong. I respect heroes like you the most."
"shit!"
"Do you respect me?"
Cheng Yaojin sneered and said: "You came all the way from Tubo to the Tang Dynasty and brought gifts to all the officials in the Tang Dynasty."
"But only when I, Old Cheng, had nothing."
"So, your mouth is untrustworthy and untrustworthy."
Cheng Yaojin shook his head, picked up the wine glass and took another sip for himself.
"But it's fine if you don't bring a gift to me, Old Cheng."
"At the very least, you invited me to dinner, right?"
Cheng Yaojin faced Ni Ye and said, "Since you invited me to dinner, I have to remind you."
"No matter what you want to do, your Highness, you must first pass this test..."
