"Okay! I, the general, will let you see what drinking means!"
Gus smiled confidently, picked up the wine bowl and was about to drink it.
"Huh?"
However, as soon as the clear water wine entered his mouth, his eyes suddenly widened.
Is there something wrong with this wine?
Although it is as clear as water, why does it feel so hot after entering the mouth?
It was like a fire, burning from the throat to the stomach!
"Cough cough cough..."
After taking it, Gus coughed violently.
"How...how could this happen?"
After feeling a little relieved, Gus looked at the young shota in disbelief.
He had a premonition that they would have to stay in Xianyang for another half month!
He choked on the sip of wine and coughed for a long time. His stomach felt like a fire. He definitely couldn't drink the three bowls in front of him!
No wonder the boy just took a small wine cup and only took a small sip.
It turns out that this wine is extremely strong and cannot be tolerated by ordinary people!
"How do you like it? The new wine just developed by my master's winery is called Wuliangye puree. Is it still suitable to the general's taste?"
Xiao Zhengtai's two little arms, as white and tender as lotus roots, were folded across his chest, and he said with a joking smile.
"It... suits the taste!"
Gus nodded calmly and forced out a very ugly smile.
Speaking of which, he really liked this wine. This kind of strong wine is what men should drink!
It’s just that this wine is suitable for tasting slowly, not drinking it in a short time!
Looking at the three large bowls of wine in front of me, I felt troubled!
If he drank all this strong wine, it would be impossible for him not to get drunk!
But if they lose, they will not only have to stay in Xianyang for another half month, but they will also lose the three tribes on the border.
no!
Absolutely not!
"Since the general likes it, how about I serve the general three more bowls? Don't worry, I won't charge more!"
Koshota had a wicked smile on his face.
"Don't...don't...stop!"
Gus stared at the three bowls of spirits on the table, his head shaking like a rattle.
I don’t know how to drink these three bowls in front of me, but don’t do it again!
That would cost him his life!
"Gus, what's wrong with you?"
Looking at his strange expression, Harry was a little surprised.
With Gus's drinking capacity, let alone three bowls, even if there were thirty bowls in front of him, it would be impossible for him to show such an expression, as if what was in front of him was not wine, but poison!
"No...nothing!"
Gus gritted his teeth and picked up the remaining wine bowl as if he was going to the execution ground. He closed his eyes, held his breath, and prepared to drink it all in one go.
"Ahem..."
Even so, he had just finished drinking half of the wine when he coughed violently again, even worse than before.
"Gus, what's wrong with you?"
Harry looked slightly annoyed.
Normally, he would have to ask for it shamelessly when there was no wine. Today, the wine was right in front of him, so why couldn't he seem to drink it?
You know, he has taken all three tribes of the Xiongnu into custody. Once they lose, these three tribes will belong to Great Qin!
How will they communicate with each other after they return?
Didn't the Chanyu take off their heads and use them as chamber pots?
"I'm fine!"
Gus's face turned red due to the violent coughing. He supported the table with one hand and shook his head, trying to stay awake.
"But there's something wrong with the wine?"
Another envoy raised questions.
He also had the courage to ask.
Because all the officials were present, he seemed to doubt the character of the Emperor of Qin by asking this question!
But I couldn't help but ask. The drink was uncharacteristically too clear.
Moreover, their general, who was said to be able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, actually started coughing violently after taking a sip. This was such a huge contrast to usual!
"Nothing is wrong!"
However, Gus shook his head firmly without any doubt.
"Then how could you...?"
"Qin wine is too strong and cannot be compared to the wine on our grassland. I was a little uncomfortable for a while!"
In desperation, Gus had to tell the truth.
It wasn’t that there was something wrong with his wine, on the contrary, it was the best wine he had ever tasted!
It’s just that I don’t drink well enough and I can’t drink such a strong drink!
"It doesn't matter if you don't get used to it, just drink more and you'll be fine...!"
The young lady picked up the remaining half of the bowl that Gus had just drank, handed it to him, and continued: "Come on! Finish this bowl. There are two more bowls waiting for you. I believe that when these three bowls are all eaten, The general got used to it, and if he can’t keep it all, he can still have three more bowls!”
Three more bowls?
Then it's not a matter of staying in Xianyang for another half month. It is estimated that he will never be able to go back in this life, and his life will be handed down here!
He took the wine bowl from Xiao Zhengtai's hand, brought it to his mouth, closed his eyes again, and swallowed it all in one breath as if drinking soup!
Then his body staggered and he almost fell down. Fortunately, he had quick hands and directly supported the table in front of him, and then he fell!
Otherwise, it would be very embarrassing!
What followed next was the violent cough, and at the same time I felt my cheeks burning and my head felt dizzy!
"General, you can drink a lot. Come on! Here's a second bowl!"
Xiao Zhengtai smiled widely and handed over the second bowl of wine.
If he can survive the first bowl, he has a good drinking capacity, but I don’t believe he can survive the second bowl!
In fact, if you eat this wine while eating hot pot and taste it slowly, you won’t get drunk after one bowl!
But this guy has never drunk strong alcohol before, and he has to drink so much in a short period of time. It’s strange that he’s not drunk!
"Ahem..."
Gus's coughing hadn't stopped yet, and when he saw the wine handed over by Mr. Shota, he suddenly showed an expression of resistance.
At this time, the eyes of all the Huns envoys fell on him, and he had to take the wine bowl, put it under his nose, and wanted to drink it all in one go!
"vomit……"
But as soon as he smelled the aroma of wine, his stomach was churning, and he almost vomited in the bowl, but he suppressed it.
After staring at the clear water-like spirit for a long time, Gus put it back on the table with a bang, "We lost!"
There was really nothing he could do. He had to hold back the first bowl of wine, but he really couldn't swallow the second bowl!
Even if you drink it, you will definitely get drunk, let alone a third bowl!
He really couldn't do it if he wanted to last three bowls without getting drunk!
"What did you say?"
Upon hearing this, several other envoys immediately jumped up.
They have suppressed the three tribes on the border, and the documents have been established. If they lose, these three tribes will hand over to Da Qin. How will they explain to Shan Yu when they return?
No more brains?
"Gus, don't talk nonsense, His Majesty the Emperor is listening!"
Harry scolded angrily and winked at him wildly.
"You can't do anything even if you blink your eyes. This wine is not that strong. I'm already drunk now. If I drink another bowl, I'm afraid I'll be drunk on the spot, and we'll still lose!"
Gus was also very helpless.
He didn't want to lose either, he even bet a thousand gold on it!
But there's nothing he can do about it, he knows his body well!
Not to mention another bowl, even one more sip would be too much for him to drink!
