[R18] Will drink wine – “About Wine” Chapter 53 [English]

Chapter 51 Marshal

Xiao Chiye wiped the corners of his lips with his thumb in the darkness, where there was still some residual wine, and said, “One kick at a time, and neither you nor I will lose.”

Shen Zechuan looked back at he.

Xiao Chiye smiled at Shen Zechuan: “One code equals one code. Why don’t you still step on me when you go out in the future? If you step on Lan Zhou, I will get my money back with profit.”

Shen Zechuan licked the place bitten by he with the tip of his tongue, and said, “You don’t get such a chance every time.”

Xiao Chiye took a step closer, completely shrouding he in his shadow, and said, “You can’t run away every time.”

After Xiao Chiye finished speaking, he reached out and picked off the red plum on Shen Zechuan’s side, crushed the petals, and put the red color into his mouth.In He’s eyes, Shen Zechuan had the illusion that he was the red plum. In addition to Xiao Chiye’s evaluation of “a keen sense of smell”, He quietly added “It is bound to win”.

Shen Zechuan once thought that desire would defeat Xiao Chiye and make him retreat in frustration, but his performance was unexpected. His arrogant character made him only move forward bravely, and any retreat was just to prepare for the next better attack.

he is a scourge.

“Hold the lamp.” Xiao Chiye turned his head and called.

The maids pushed the door in after a while, took out the small screen, collected the leftovers, spread mats on the huts, and replaced them with a generous coffee table with a girdle and horseshoe feet.Chenyang changed his shoes and entered, placed the Forbidden Army’s military affairs and personnel roster on the coffee table, took the teapot from the maid’s hand, and knelt beside him to make tea for the two of them.

Someone was present, and both men were honorable men when they sat down again.

Shen Zechuan was already half awake from the wine, and because of the wind, he got out of his previous hot flashes and tipsy state.But the blush on he’s face still remained, and it was shrouded in the dim light. Now even Chenyang didn’t dare to raise his eyes and look directly at he, for fear of being offended by his eyes and making both he and Xiao Chiye unhappy.

Chen Yang brewed tea and thought to himself: It’s no wonder that Tantai Hu is worried, Shen Lanzhou clearly looks like someone who brings disaster to the country and the people, and has such a temper that even those who are a little familiar with his master will be afraid.

What does Xiao Chiye like most?

Taming a horse and an eagle!The eagle doesn’t sleep when it’s cooking, and Xiao Chiye doesn’t sleep either. The more untamable he is, the more he cares about it, and the more difficult he is, the more he prefers it.When fighting against the border cavalry, the reason why Xiao Chiye was able to lie down for so long was because he loved the process of taming and suffering.He inherited Xiao Fangxu and developed a desire to conquer beyond ordinary people. This is the biggest difference between he and Xiao Jiming.

Chenyang served the tea to the two of them, bowed slightly, and said, “Master, I have something to say,” then he stood up and left, put on his boots, and stood guard outside the door.

Gujin on the roof lowered his head and threw the wine bag to Chenyang, asking with his eyes how it was inside.

Chenyang slowly exhaled and said: “…It’s okay, Master has a sense of propriety.”

Ding Tao still held her head and muttered: “Am I going to die, die, die, die…”

“I see,” Qiao Tianya rubbed the snow, pulled out his pipe, and laughed, “Today next year, my brother will remember to burn paper for you.”

Ding Tao was about to burst into tears. He rubbed his hair, glared at them, and accused: “It’s all your fault! If you didn’t fight, I wouldn’t have started a fight. If I hadn’t started a fight, I wouldn’t have fallen. If I hadn’t fallen, I wouldn’t have died. I hate you!”

Qiao Tianya concentrated on rubbing the flint, while Gu Jin dozed off holding his hands.

Ding Tao was so filled with hatred that she took out her notebook and wrote furiously, expressing all her anger in it, calling the two of them the best bastards in the world. Finally, she wiped the tears from her eyes, turned over the book, and continued to talk endlessly, her thoughts flowing like a fountain.

The people in the room changed to fresh tea and continued the conversation.

Xiao Chiye said: “Revisiting the old story, you said that there is someone hidden in Qandu who can control the Eight Families. After thinking about it, I think it is unlikely.”

Shen Zechuan was so burned by the medicinal wine that there was smoke in his throat. After drinking a few cups of tea, he said, “You think it’s impossible because it’s too difficult to accomplish such a thing.”

Xiao Chiye said: “Yes, regardless of others, even the Queen Mother will not be willing to do what others do.”

“What if she didn’t realize it herself?” Shen Zechuan said, “To manipulate the situation, sometimes you don’t need to order others. You can push the ‘potential’ with just one finger, thereby changing many things.”

“You have to prove that there is this person first.” Xiao Chiye looked at he and said, “…you look very hot.”

Shen Zechuan raised his fingers to unbutton his clothes. The buttons gently broke free from their restraints, and his smooth neck was gradually exposed between his fingers, stopping just above the collarbone.Small beads of sweat slid into the depression along the lines, moistening the fingertips.

“Although Xi Hongxuan is a chess player, he is very important. The existence of this person must be confirmed by Xi Hongxuan, so you can’t take him away this time.” Shen Zechuan paused for a moment, “You can’t take him away either. He has not shown up in this murder case. Fuling’s confession can only show that she has been coerced. Now the person with the greatest suspicion is you.”

“It was your idea to frame me.” Xiao Chiye looked at the disappearing beads of sweat.

“You are now a close minister of the emperor, and you are deeply favored. If you can be removed from office and idle for this reason, Xi Hongxuan will not let go of the opportunity, and will definitely take advantage of the situation to seek the authority of the Eighth Battalion. Only by leading them out of the cave can we see clearly where to attack. Besides, the emperor believes in you. Even if he demotes you, he will not trust others immediately. Wait for himAfter this period of time, when I see the Eight Families getting angry again, I will realize that I have been manipulated, and I will feel guilty for being innocent and try to make up for you.” Shen Zechuan’s Adam’s apple floated while drinking tea, and he said, “I guess you have already thought of a countermeasure before you came to me.”

“Let’s play,” Xiao Chiye poured tea for him, “I’m just following my plan and letting you step on it.”

“This is more sensible than counterattacking at this time,” Shen Zechuan said. “The more anxious you are to clear up the relationship at this time, the more suspicious the emperor will be.”

“I know the Emperor,” Xiao Chiye said, “He is a soft-eared person who cannot be taught the most, but he is also the least able to be bullied. I am his brother, and I am the first person he mentions after he ascends the throne. I am a symbol of him facing the courtiers. I am trapped internally and externally, becoming a cattle and sheep raised under his hands. In his view, I have no one to rely on, and it is only through him that I can secure my position. If I am kicked out by someone, then heHe will definitely have a feeling of despair. The flower party is his heartache.He can safely ask Hai Liangyi to make political decisions because he knows that Hai Liangyi will not form a party.”

“This opportunity cannot be missed,” Shen Zechuan said after pondering for a moment while holding the tea cup, “This time we must make Xi Hongxuan move.”

“Let me remind you.” Xiao Chiye propped his elbows on the desk and waved to Shen Zechuan.

Shen Zechuan put down his tea cup and leaned forward.

Xiao Chiye whispered: “If you don’t drink well, don’t go out to drink with others. Not every bastard has the determination of the Second Young Master to behave like a gentleman in front of you.”

Shen Zechuan glanced sideways and said with emphasis: “A gentleman must have thought a lot about this.”

Xiao Chiye stared at him and said: “When we leave this door tomorrow morning, we will be mortal enemies. Enemies are the best at cherishing each other. I miss you, isn’t it right?”

Shen Zechuan said: “I don’t miss you.”

Xiao Chiye said: “Every plan you make now cannot avoid me. I’m afraid it’s not that you don’t want to, but that you are thinking about it during the day and at night.”

“Why didn’t the official’s kick step on you?” Shen Zechuan raised his hand to block Xiao Chiye’s breathing and said, “Let the second master wake up.”

The tip of Xiao Chiye’s nose was touching Shen Zechuan’s palm. He stared at Shen Zechuan and said evilly: “You are so cruel, Lan Zhou. You flirted with me in every possible way before you slept with me. After sleeping with me, you put yourself on guard in every possible way. You are such a heartless and thin lover.”

Shen Zechuan was slightly averted by he and said, “…Xiao Er, you must have been drunk tonight.”

Xiao Chiye suddenly stepped back and said, “There will be someone in the courtroom tomorrow morning who will make trouble. Kong Qiu will truthfully present Fuling’s previous confession. When the time comes, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will definitely hold me accountable for my negligence in supervision.”

Shen Zechuan’s palms were empty and he said, “You have to retreat, but you can’t retreat too obviously.”

“When I fall into the siege of verbal and written criticism, it will depend on how the emperor punishes me.” Xiao Chiye said.

“It can range from suspending your salary for a few months to hanging your badge to reflect on your mistakes. The prince is still in the capital. Everyone will always look at his face and won’t criticize you too much.”

“Brother’s time in Qudu is very short,” Xiao Chiye stopped, “Once I am punished, no one will stop Hua Xiangyi and Qi Shiyu’s marriage.”

“It takes time for flowers and relatives to blend together,” Shen Zechuan thought for a while, “Now the commander-in-chief of the five Qidong counties is Qi Zhuyin, so maybe we can start with her.”

Xiao Chiye remembered something and said, “I have a way.”

Shen Zechuan said: “What?”

“The Ministry of Etiquette has records of past marriages in the Hua family. I’ll let someone polish it a little, and then give this copied record to Qi Zhuyin. She won’t accept Hua Xiangyi easily.”

“Marrying distant relatives is not taboo in Zhou Dynasty, even cousins are allowed.” Shen Zechuan said, “Does Marshal Qi care about this?”

“I care.” Xiao Chiye explained, “As we all know, Qi Shiyu was lustful, and he accepted many beauties from the five counties of Qidong into his house. One of them was his niece. A few years ago, this lady gave birth, and the child she gave birth to was defective and extremely sick. She was buried within a few days. Later, Qi Shiyu was particularly taboo about bringing in people. As long as they were related by blood, even if they were distant relatives, she would not allow anyone to enter.”

“But Hua Xiangyi is someone personally appointed by the Queen Mother,” Shen Zechuan said, “The commander-in-chief can’t stop her even if he wants to.”

“Since we can’t stop it, we can only take a step back and let Hua San marry,” Xiao Chiye said with a cold look in his eyes, “But we can’t let her give birth to a child. She married Qi Shiyu and became the stepmother of Qidong. SheAfter giving birth to a child, he and Qi Zhuyin can be called the legitimate son.It is not easy for Qi Zhuyin to conquer the military affairs of the five counties of Qidong in recent years.But who can guarantee that no one will have other ideas?If Hua Xiangyi gives birth to a boy, Qi Zhuyin will have to have a reason to suppress Hua Xiangyi.”

“I heard that there was a son in the Qi family, but Qi Shiyu insisted on giving Qi Zhuyin the position of military commander.” Shen Zechuan said, “Isn’t this out of love for talents?”

“Yes,” Xiao Chiye said, “Qi Zhuyin was born from his wife, and he was also a general who was taught by him himself.When he had no sons, he raised Qi Zhuyin as his son. Later, when he had sons, no one could compare with Qi Zhuyin.Qidong was still fighting with Biansha at that time, and Qi Shiyu was seriously injured and unable to lead his troops. He was trapped on the east side of the Biansha company camp.He went out to fight, and then used the wind to set fire to the Biansha Battalion.This was also the battle that made her famous. She is now called “Feng Yin Lie Ye” because she took the lead in that battle, drew her sword and fought against Qi Shiyu.Qi Shiyu was hesitant at first, but after that, he immediately handed over the commander’s seal and gave all the troops and horses of the five counties to Qi Zhuyin.

“The commander-in-chief must obtain the consent of the capital to be granted a title,” Shen Zechuan said. “It’s not easy.”

Xiao Chiye smiled, touched the ring on his thumb, and said, “You would never have imagined that the person who conferred her title was not Emperor Guangcheng.”

Shen Zechuan tilted his head slightly.

“At that time, the news came back to Qudu, and all parties were furious. Because Qi Zhuyin was a woman, the Ministry of War suspected that she had falsified her military exploits, and asked the cabinet to send the imperial censor and Jin Yiwei to Qidong to find out. Emperor Guangcheng saw that the crowd was agitated, so he postponed Qidong’s request. Later, after the military exploits were reviewed, the Ministry of Rites reported that she could be conferred, but she could not ascend the Jade Dragon Platform used by generals to be conferred. SheI can only kneel and kowtow in front of the steps of Mingli Hall.”

Xiao Chiye paused for a long time.

“It was the Queen Mother who overcame all difficulties and allowed her to step onto the Jade Dragon Platform and be honored as the Commander-in-Chief of the Qidong Army.”
