After a while, the servants came up with two jars of wine.
When they put the wine on the table and opened the lid, an intoxicating and fragrant aroma suddenly filled the lobby!
Yang Qing and others have all drunk Zuixian Brewing. Just by smelling it, they can conclude that Qilixiang is completely different from Zuixian Brewing!
I just don’t know what Qilixiang tastes like when I drink it!
After the servants took turns pouring a bowl of Qili Xiang for everyone, they carefully picked up the wine bowl and took a sip.
Although both are high-altitude liquors, Qilixiang is not as spicy and exciting as Zuixiangong.
The entrance is soft and smooth, and the unique sweet aroma fills the nose and mouth!
When you swallow it, it feels silky and mellow!
After putting down the wine bowls in their hands, everyone looked as happy as if they had eaten ginseng fruit!
"I originally thought that Zuixian Brewing was a rare wine, but I didn't expect Qili Xiang to be far superior to it!"
Yang Qing couldn't hide the excitement on his face and couldn't help but sigh.
Although the other people did not speak, the expressions on their faces were also of deep understanding.
With the help of hot pot and Qilixiang, Ji Lie's relationship with Yang Qing and Shen Wu had grown closer in just a few moments.
Zhang Changde and Shen Wu, who are both martial artists, have already started drinking together!
"Are you okay with raising fish?"
"Don't worry, as the commander of the royal guards, how can I rely on alcohol?"
"Drink quickly!"
Under the two men's efforts to persuade them to drink, Ji Lie, Yang Qing, and Deng Wei were also very drunk.
At this moment, Yang Qing suddenly put down the wine glass in his hand and chuckled,
"This time His Majesty has sent ministers to assist the prince, and I am very frightened. Why don't I take over the affairs of the prince's palace from tomorrow on?"
"I wonder what the prince wants?"
When Ji Lie heard this, he smiled lightly and said,
"Sir, we have just arrived in Youzhou City after a long journey. It's not too late to rest for a few days before we talk."
Before Yang Qing could speak, Ji Lie smiled again and said,
"Today we only talk about romance, not state affairs! Come, let's drink!"
Seeing this situation, Yang Qing had no choice but to keep silent and pick up the wine glass.
A few people ate hot pot until it got dark before they dispersed.
After washing up, Yang Qing and Shen Wu came to the guest room Ji Lie had prepared for them.
Yang Qing did not collapse immediately to rest, but sat beside the candlelight, frowning.
Seeing his appearance, Shen Wu, who looked drunk, said with a smile,
"Why is Brother Yang so unhappy? Is it possible that you are unhappy tonight?"
"That's not true."
Yang Qing shook his head and sighed softly,
"It's just that I feel that our prince... is not a good person!"
Although it was the first time for him and Ji Lie to meet, Ji Lie was extremely knowledgeable and broad-minded in his words and deeds!
Coupled with what Duan Chang said in the letter, Ji Lie seemed to be secretly raising private soldiers.
It can be seen from this that Ji Lie is not a law-abiding person, but rather ambitious!
As a member of the palace, Yang Qing should abide by the court system and suppress Ji Lie!
If this happens, I'm afraid a conflict will break out between him and Ji Lie!
"I think this prince is quite a nice person!"
Shen Wu chuckled.
The dignitaries he had come into contact with in the past were all pretentious and dog-like.
Not like Ji Lie, who laughed and cursed, and even rolled up his sleeves to drink with him.
This kind of personality is really to his liking.
"The prince is hosting a banquet for us tonight, but you are not very graceful at all!"
Speaking of this, Yang Qing couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"The prince doesn't care, but Brother Yang, you still care about God."
Shen Wu said indifferently,
"It's getting late, Brother Yang, please rest early."
"Well, go to sleep!"
Yang Qing blew out the candle on the side and got on the bed.
At this moment, he was chatting with Zhang Changde and Deng Wei in Ji Lie's study.
"Changde, what do you think of Mr. Yang and Shen Wu?"
Thanks to following Yang Ling, Zhang Changde often drank Zuixianjiang, so his alcohol consumption increased.
Although I drank a lot of Qilixiang just now, I was not completely drunk.
Hearing Ji Lie's words, Zhang Changde touched his chin and said in deep thought,
"Shen Wu doesn't have any evil intentions. He's just a martial artist, but he's easy to handle."
"It's just that Mr. Yang is as upright as the intelligence says. It's probably not easy to win him over."
Ji Lie nodded with deep understanding.
If it were other officials, under the constant bombardment of their own wine and delicacies, I am afraid that their position would have been unstable.
But Yang Qing was quite determined, and the meaning behind his words was that he still had to insist on fulfilling his duty of sacrificing others.
"I wonder how the prince plans to treat Mr. Yang?"
Deng Wei asked in a low voice.
Since becoming a royal official, Deng Wei has shown outstanding talents.
Ji Lie admired this very much, and he also tried his best to put him to good use.
Nowadays, Deng Wei's status among everyone in the palace can be said to be second only to Zhang Changde.
"It's best if you can win him over and use him for your own good."
"If you can't, no wonder you are so cruel."
A fierce look flashed in Ji Lie's eyes.
Yang Qing has outstanding talents and is famous all over the world. Being able to use him as his own will be of great benefit to Ji Lie's development.
Ji Lie was not willing to harm him unless it was absolutely necessary, as that would only cause more trouble!
"Your Majesty, will tomorrow go as planned?"
Deng Wei asked for instructions.
"Just keep going."
Ji Lie nodded.
…
Early the next morning, when Yang Qing and Shen Wu woke up from a hangover, servants brought towels, hot water, and prepared breakfast.
After a hearty meal, Yang Qingzheng was hesitating whether to go see Ji Lie and talk about his appointment when he saw Deng Wei walking in with a smile.
"I've met Mr. Yang, I've met Daxia Shen!"
After the two returned the courtesy, Deng Wei smiled and said,
"Your Majesty has ordered me to take you two to visit the palace's properties."
As soon as these words came out, Yang Qing and Shen Wu were both stunned.
What does Ji Lie mean by this move?
Yang Qing thought for a while and said calmly,
"That's very good. I don't know much about Youzhou City, so I'll trouble Chief Deng."
"Please!"
Deng Wei made an invitation gesture and walked out with Yang Qing and Shen Wu.
The three of them left the palace and strolled through the streets of Youzhou City while chatting.
Deng Wei told the two people about the current situation of people's livelihood, customs and customs in the city.
Yang Qing nodded slightly and suddenly asked,
"Chief Deng is so talented, but why haven't I heard that there is a noble family named Deng in Youzhou City?"
He listened to Deng Wei's conversation, and his words were meaningful and clear. He was obviously a determined and capable person.
It would be a bit of a waste for such a talent to live in Prince You's Mansion.
So Yang Qing began to love talents.
If Deng Wei came from a wealthy noble family, he could promote him as a filial and honest person, join the dynasty as an official, bring benefits to the whole country, and be considered a blessing to the Great Xia Dynasty!
