"Sir, you see clearly, Zhuge has not shown up, he should still be inside Zhuangzi."
Sheng Lingyun nodded slightly, "Today is New Year's Eve. Everyone is celebrating. After they have a banquet, it will be the best time for us to take action. Just wait quietly."
"yes."
After suffering the loss last time, Sheng Lingyun did not dare to be negligent this time. In order to ensure that he would hit the target with one strike, Sheng Lingyun would rather wait a little longer until everyone was full, drunk, and drunk, and then he would take action. Much easier.
On New Year's Eve, everyone finally relaxed a little. Sheng Lingyun's eyes were like lightning. Although he didn't see Zhuge Yan, he saw two powerful men coming out to drink.
Needless to say, these two people are the Yulinshan left behind by Yue Lianshuang.
"Old man, why are you here?"
Zhang Nan informed Siniang of Su Chengwang's news, and Siniang hurriedly came to greet him.
"Haha... Mr. Shen is not here, and my old man is here to ask for a drink."
Siniang smiled slightly when she heard this, stepped forward and held Su Chengwang's arm and said: "That may disappoint you. Before the prince left, he gave many instructions not to give you any more drinks. I don't dare to disobey the prince. mean."
Su Chengwang feigned anger when he heard this: "This bastard, is he so stingy?"
Siniang smiled and said: "Don't be angry. General Nong is very overbearing. You are old and aged, so it is not appropriate to drink too much. The prince is also thinking about your health..."
After saying that, Siniang glanced at Xiang Ling behind her and asked, "Who is this...?"
Xiang Ling smiled and nodded, but Su Chengwang said first, "He is my student, you can just call him Wu Lang."
"Fifth Young Master." Siniang nodded towards Xiang Ling.
"Jiangjun Niang, is this the name of the wine given by Mr. Shen?"
"Yes, it is the name given by the Crown Prince." Siniang explained: "The Crown Prince said that this wine is so strong that it requires a hot-blooded man, just like a general who is brave and brave, so it is named General Brewing."
"It's a good name." Su Chengwang chuckled.
Siniang helped Su Chengwang to sit down at the main seat, and Xiang Ling sat beside him.
"I am an old man who can't drink, but I, Wu Lang, am indeed a hot-blooded man. He can drink, right?"
Si Niang glanced at Xiang Ling, and Xiang Ling also said: "I heard the teacher mention this wine, and I longed for it, so I took the liberty to interrupt. I also asked Si Niang to have it, but I made my wish."
"The fifth young master said something serious." Siniang hurriedly bowed, "Since she is the old master's student, she is also the prince's friend and a guest of Xiayang Village. The fifth master wants to drink Jiangjun Lie, so I will get it for him now."
"Thank you."
Siniang turned around and whispered a few words in Xiaohuan's ear. Xiaohuan nodded repeatedly, turned around and walked quickly into the village.
"The prince listened to the old man's words last time and asked several masters to prepare the taste of General Lie. Finally, it was successful. It hasn't been tasted yet. It happened that the fifth master came, so it was up to the fifth master to comment on it. "
Xiang Ling nodded and said, "I'll do my best."
Not long after, Xiaohuan came back holding a small wine jar.
"Is this General Brewing?" Su Chengwang put his nose close to it and was about to reach out, but Siniang stepped forward.
"Exactly." Siniang opened it with a smile, and the aroma of wine suddenly filled the air.
"Hmm..." Su Chengwang closed his eyes and savored it, "The smell alone is different from last time. Although it still has the same strong smell of alcohol, it is not as pure as the smell of alcohol..."
Xiang Ling was slightly shocked when he smelled the smell of wine. Such a strong smell of wine was far beyond the reach of Zuixianjiang.
Siniang smiled, took a small bowl and poured it for Xiang Ling. The wine scattered like a clear spring, and Su Chengwang's eyes widened.
"Master, please."
Xiang Ling got closer and smelled it, then raised his head and drank it all.
Xu Xiang Ling didn't expect the impact to be so powerful, and his face became a little ugly in an instant.
"Ahem..."
"Young Master!" Behind him, Feng Lin saw Xiang Ling coughing and hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
Siniang was squeezed away by Feng Lin, her eyes moved slightly, and she couldn't help but take two steps back.
"Haha... I said it was strong alcohol, so don't drink so eagerly. Young people are always so ignorant." Seeing this, Su Chengwang stroked his beard and chuckled.
Xiang Ling regained his composure and said with a wry smile: "I only heard the teacher say that the wine is strong, but I never thought it would be so strong. It is really like a sword, with the pain of cutting flesh and gouging breasts..."
Si Niang laughed when she heard this and said: "Fifth Young Master is really joking. If you make such a comment to others, wouldn't it make people fearful? Who else in the world dares to drink this wine?"
Xiang Ling shook his head and said, "This wine is very good. It is worthy of the name of a general. I am not worthy of drinking it because I am a mediocre person in the world. It is a good wine. Please pour it again, Madam Four."
Siniang was about to step forward, but was stopped by Feng Lin, "I'll do it."
Siniang smiled when she saw this, handed the wine jar to Feng Lin, and then returned to her seat.
"I made Fourth Lady laugh." Xiang Ling nodded and apologized.
"Fifth Young Master, you're welcome."
Si Niang shook her head, "It's just that even the fifth young master can't bear it. It seems that this wine needs to be prepared."
Su Chengwang heard this and said, "It's all about modulation. Has he done what he promised me?"
Siniang nodded and smiled: "Don't worry, we have already prepared it. As long as someone from the imperial capital comes, they can deliver it."
Su Chengwang looked at Siniang with a gesture in his eyes. Siniang understood, glanced at Xiang Ling, and immediately fell silent.
When Xiang Ling, who was drinking, heard about the son of the imperial capital, his movements froze slightly, and then returned to normal in an instant.
Someone from the imperial capital?
Who wants to come from the imperial capital?
For this wine?
Could it be that Shen Qingyun wants to do business with someone in the imperial capital?
So what role does Su Chengwang play in it?
With Su Chengwang's status, if it was just business, would he be so concerned about it?
For a moment, Xiang Ling's thoughts swirled in his mind, but the strong drink entered his throat, but he felt refreshed again.
Seeing this, Si Niang smiled and said: "The prince has said that this wine should not be drunk on an empty stomach. These are rough country food. If the fifth young master does not dislike it, please eat it first."
"Thank you, Fourth Lady." Xiang Ling thanked him and felt hot in his stomach, so he moved his chopsticks rudely.
Feng Lin glanced at the entire audience, his eyes suddenly shrank, and then he leaned into Xiang Ling's ear and whispered something. Xiang Ling was stunned when he heard the words, and also raised his head to look at the two Yulin Mountains.
Seeing this, Su Chengwang chuckled and said, "This is the sincerity of the princess."
Xiang Ling only nodded slightly.
The fourth lady was silent when she heard this. Just hearing this sentence was enough to guess that the identity of the fifth young master in front of her must be extraordinary.
"I really like Mr. Shen's craftsmanship, but it's a pity that this guy is not here. I can't drink the wine, and I can't even eat the food. It's really boring, boring..." Su Chengwang shook his head in disappointment.
Seeing this, Siniang smiled and said: "Your Majesty has taught Aunt Li all his cooking skills. If you want to eat it, I will ask Aunt Li to make it for you right away."
"No trouble, right?"
"Please stay a while."
Siniang got up and left. Su Chengwang glanced at Siniang's back, quickly turned to Feng Lin and said, "Quickly, fill it up for me."
Feng Lin glanced at Xiang Ling in embarrassment. Xiang Ling was already half drunk and said with a smile: "Teacher has a very heavy drinking capacity. It's just one drink, so it doesn't matter."
"yes."
Feng Lin added a glass to Su Chengwang, and Su Chengwang couldn't wait to pour it into his mouth, making a satisfying sound.
"The taste is much more soothing than last time. This guy is really attentive..."
Su Chengwang smiled with satisfaction and looked at Feng Lin. Before he could speak, Feng Lin filled both of them.
"How about this General Liebi Zuixianjiao?"
Xiang Ling responded: "The general's strong wine alone is better than the drunken immortals."
In other words, apart from being stronger than Zuixian Brewing, it is still inferior in other aspects.
Of course, the current General Lie may not be as good as Zuixianjiang, but it is still being brewed and there is still enough time to perfect it.
"Haha... Wulang is right. This alone is much better than other wines."
Xiang Ling said: "It's just that strong alcohol is harmful to the body. Teacher, it's better not to drink too much."
“It’s a big celebration on New Year’s Eve, so it doesn’t hurt to have a couple more drinks.”
Seeing that Su Cheng couldn't stand it, Xiang Ling could only smile bitterly.
Fortunately, the jar containing the wine was not big, only half a catty smaller. Xiang Ling was afraid that Su Chengwang would drink too much, so he had to drink two more glasses by himself.
I pushed the cup to the cup and drank it all in a while.
By the time Siniang came back after cooking the dishes, the two of them were almost drunk.
Si Niang was helpless when she saw this, "Old man, if you... let the prince know about this, you will definitely scold me."
"How dare he..." Su Chengwang's voice was long and drawn out, "I hiccup... um..."
Su Chengwang fell down on the table before the old man finished.
Xiang Ling next to him was in the same situation. He drank even more and was completely unconscious.
"Xiao Zhen Xiao Huan, go and prepare the room."
After hearing this, the two of them walked towards Zhuangzi, while Su Chengwang's old servant and Feng Lin each supported their master and followed slowly.
Xiang Ling drank too much, and when the night wind blew, he felt instantly uncomfortable, and he vomited immediately.
Feng Lin patted his back gently. After he vomited, his whole body became weak and he fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing this, Siniang shook her head secretly, sent someone to get hot water to wipe it, and helped the two of them sleep.
After everyone finished eating and drinking, those who were drunk went to bed first, while those who were not drunk sat around the bonfire and chatted for a while. After watching the New Year's Eve, they dispersed. The candles in each house were extinguished, and the whole village returned to silence.
In the shadows, three figures silently crossed the courtyard wall and sneaked towards Zhuge Yan's room skillfully.
Sheng Lingyun was the leader, and the three of them did not make any sound.
"You two watch Yulin Mountain, I'll take action."
The two nodded slightly, and Sheng Lingyun flashed and gently pushed the door open.
"who?"
The slight movement instantly woke Zhuge Yan up, and he immediately let out a low shout.
"Zhuge, long time no see."
Sheng Lingyun held a short blade against his throat.
Hearing a familiar voice in the darkness, Zhuge Yan's voice trembled slightly, "Ling Yun?"
Sheng Lingyun was silent for a moment and whispered: "It's me."
Zhuge Yan smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't expect that the Jin Yiwei who chased me all the way was actually you... That's right, I should have thought of it earlier. Apart from you, there should be no one in the Xiaojian Forest who has this level of shooting skills. , I should have recognized you last time.
Are you here to kill me? "
"Your Majesty personally gave the order, and there is nothing I can do about it." Sheng Lingyun shook his head, "Or you can come back to Yan State with me. There must be an explanation for everything."
Zhuge Yan shook his head. He found Sheng Lingyun's eyes in the darkness, "I have already done the thing. No matter what the explanation is, I will not escape death if I go back. Why bother?"
"Don't force me!" Sheng Lingyun's eyes narrowed, and the sharp blade in his hand came closer.
Zhuge Yan chuckled, "At least, I can die in your hands."
