[R18] Will drink wine – Chapter 103 of “About Wine” [English]

Chapter 101 Treasure

Shen Zechuan learned all his life from Qi Huilian in Zhaosu Temple. When he knelt at Qi Huilian’s feet six years ago, he already knew which path he was going to take.He had tempered his bones and blood in pain and anxiety. He once naively thought that he could overturn the constraints of the aristocratic family by relying on political checks and balances.

However he failed.

Shen Zechuan looked ahead. The river was flowing gurglingly, like a dark life that could never be looked back, twinkling only because of the reflected starry sky.he slowly pushed open the small bamboo fan, then slowly closed it again, and said: “I left Qandu, but I am still in a cage. This is a punishment for my once-lucky heart. I must find a new way out as soon as possible. My husband entrusted me with his life’s faith, and I once promised to serve himAt the end of this war, we were forbearing in the past because it seemed that the Great Zhou Dynasty had not reached the point of no return, but now I understand that it has long since declined.”

Qi Huilian shouted loudly in the heavy rain that the sky would be destroyed, but his raised arms still seemed to be trying to hold up the crumbling building.He and Hai Liangyi took completely different paths, but lit the same torch.At the last moment when he was burning his life for the Li family, he recklessly abandoned the prince he had a grudge against in the past and chose Shen Zechuan, who was from a humble background.

Qi Huilian’s two students are what the world calls Yunni.The prince is a direct descendant of the Li family, and he seems to be born to be a wise king.Qi Huilian thought that they could open up a new world, because they were the undisputed orthodoxy in this world, but they failed.He picked up Shen Zechuan in the mud. It was Shen Zechuan who had a lowly birth mother and a defeated father. He was not a direct descendant of Shen Zechuan.Qi Huilian chose Shen Zechuan like this. This was a change in his lifelong beliefs. It showed that he no longer obeyed the arrangements of his bloodline. He wanted to let Shen Zechuan like this go through the world.

“I give up on forbearing,” Shen Zechuan put the fan on his knees, turned slightly and looked at Xiao Chiye, “I will choose another way to fight, and I will stay in Zhongbo. You once said to Tantai Hu that the national humiliation has not yet avenged, and the family revenge has not been avenged. Yes, Ce’an, the shame suffered by Zhongbo isIt’s time to take a bath in Zhongbo. This is what I want to do.One day we will gallop under the sky of Libei. That’s when I am strong enough.Two million yuan cannot marry the wolf cub of Libei. This kind of betrothal gift is not worthy of my Xiao Ce’an.I will be your indestructible shield in the future.”

The water bag fell to the ground in a hurry, splashing the corners of Xiao Chiye’s robe and splashing water all over the floor.In the moonlight as soft as gauze, Xiao Chiye suddenly grasped Shen Zechuan’s hand tightly, and then hugged him.

After a long while, Xiao Chiye’s hoarse voice was close to Shen Zechuan’s ear: “I will give you my back and give me your chest. We are indispensable. I will choose the best horse for you in Libei. We will build a house on the border between Zhongbo and Libei and meet every month. If you want to marry me, two million is not enough. I want Lan Zhouxiao, which is hard to buy.”

Shen Zechuan raised his hand to cover Xiao Chiye’s back, embracing the intoxicating smell.Xiao Chiye is the wind that crosses the grassland, invading Shen Zechuan’s calm heart, letting him taste the sweetness of love.He has lost Duanzhou and his husband, and there is not much left. He will always have to cross the unfathomable ravine to become a fortress for these remaining treasures.

Zhou Gui, the capital of Cizhou, has been busy with official duties in recent days. He heard that the imperial army had passed through Dancheng and was heading to Cizhou. He tossed and turned and stayed up all night.

Zhou Gui’s master was a native of Dengzhou, Zhongbo. His name was Kong Ling, and he was a classmate of Zhou Gui.At this moment, he put the wine on the table and asked the cook to make some refreshing cold dishes. He and Zhou Gui sat cross-legged in the corridor, eating wine and talking across the small table.The locust trees in the courtyard are dropping white flowers, and there is a fresh and sweet smell.

“I can’t sleep these days.” Zhou Gui said while holding the wine glass.

Kong Ling picked cold vegetables to eat, took a sip of spicy wine, and sat casually, saying: “I know that the bandits in Dunzhou have gathered into groups, and their power cannot be underestimated. We have no soldiers and horses, and we cannot afford to provoke them. But it happened that last year had a good harvest, and the bandit leader Lei Changming was eyeing our granary in Cizhou.”

“All the food was given to the Libei cavalry as military rations. The current granary in Cizhou is empty and very empty. I wrote to the capital of Dunzhou, but you also know, heHow can I dare to reason with Lei Changming for us?” Zhou Gui couldn’t even swallow a sip of wine. “The second young master from Libei has defected from the capital again, and 20,000 forbidden troops will soon arrive at the city gate.Cheng Feng, I’m in a dilemma.I can’t let him go, and I can’t let him go!”

Kong Ling put down his chopsticks and said: “Libei is about to rebel, and Cizhou is caught in the middle. It may not last long if we are unstable. You must make up your mind as soon as possible.”

“It’s not up to me to decide,” Zhou Gui sighed melancholy, “Now there is really a wolf in front and a tiger in the back. Neither Li Bei nor Qudu can afford to offend, and there is Lei Changming watching from the side.”

Kong Ling grabbed the locust flower and threw it into the drink: “Lei Changming is a bandit and will be surrounded and suppressed sooner or later. But the six states each pursue their own affairs and cannot work together to suppress the bandits. The court does not know when it will send people over. I see Lei Changming growing bigger day by day and has become the local emperor of Zhongbo. It is useless to worry.”

“Six years ago, the Biansha cavalry entered the country. Duan and Dunzhou were the first to bear the brunt. They became a desolate and poor land with ‘white bones exposed in the wild and no roosters crowing for thousands of miles.’ The wars and wars left thousands of miles of fertile farmland in ruins. Who is willing to serve as a garrison now?” Zhou Gui looked at the courtyard and raised his hand to point to Kong Ling. “Cizhou can retain its remaining strength because of the rapid rescue of the Libei cavalry. ThisI have always remembered this friendship, so I have no complaints about the heinous crime of murdering the emperor.Even if I want to pretend that I don’t know, Lei Changming will definitely come to ask for food and money in half a month. Xiao Chiye happens to be in Cizhou. I’m really afraid that something will happen again.It’s really a rainy night! ”

Kong Ling drank and suddenly had an idea, he said: “Xiao Chiye brought 20,000 well-trained forbidden troops to Cizhou. Aren’t they our ‘soldiers’? With he here to take charge, Lei Changming also has to weigh his own abilities!”

“The Forbidden Army has been staying in Qudu all year round, but how has it ever seen a battlefield with real swords and spears? Lei Changming overthrew the garrison camps in Duan and Dunzhou. He is not afraid of the Biansha cavalry. He is fighting because the people below are well-organized and familiar with the rivers and mountains of Zhongbo. Xiao Chiye may not be the best in the fight.His opponent.” Zhou Gui waved his hand quickly, “Besides, Mr. Xiao is young and vigorous, has not fought many battles, and has his father and brother as a guarantee.If there is something wrong with him in Cizhou, I can’t explain it to Li Bei.”

Kong Ling rubbed his goatee and said: “Xiao Chiye was instrumental in the succession of Emperor Tianchen. He rebelled from Qidu this time, and the imperial army is willing to follow him, which shows that he has the ability to lead troops. Otherwise, who would be willing to run so far with him with his head raised? But seeing him is better than hearing it. When he comes, we will have a good meeting with him!”

“I heard that he is not easy to get along with,” Zhou Gui’s heartache was here. “I have lived in Qudu for a long time. If he is full of dandy behavior, then I have to find a way to send him away quickly. I can’t afford to cause trouble!”

A few days later, the Imperial Guard arrived at Cizhou City. Zhou Gui did not dare to let them go directly, but opened the door to welcome Xiao Chiye and Shen Zechuan inside.He asked someone to prepare a banquet early, but Xiao Chiye turned it down because he was tired from traveling on the road, so he asked him to prepare a table of home-cooked food to talk about old times.

We have never met before. We only wrote letters, so how can we talk about the past?Just find an opportunity to talk in detail.

Shen Zechuan changed his clothes and stood behind the screen in the house looking at the courtyard through the window.

Xiao Chiye came in late and was still undressing.He finished half of it, and leaned on the edge of the screen, looking at Shen Zechuan behind him, and said, “Can you see clearly through the screen?”

Shen Zechuan saw that the screen was easily pressed down by he, and thought that this man was really tall, so he said, “It’s like dreaming and dreaming that my heart is moved when I look at it. But once I see it clearly, it won’t be so beautiful.”

Xiao Chiye’s open clothes exposed half of his chest, and he hung the last piece of clothing casually, and those strong muscles could be vaguely seen through the screen.He was still lying on top of the screen. He had not worn a crown since he left the capital, and his messy hair could not hide his handsomeness.He seems to be more wild and carefree in nature as he gets closer to the north.

“A romantic guy.” Shen Zechuan stepped closer, raised his hand to hold the back of Xiao Chiye’s head, raised his head and kissed him.

Xiao Chiye pinched Shen Zechuan’s chin, bullying Shen Zechuan into being shorter than him, and lifted him up.Shen Zechuan exposed his smooth and white neck, feeling numb from being sucked into his mouth.

“See clearly,” Xiao Chiye rubbed Shen Zechuan’s moist lips, “Isn’t this charming enough?”

Shen Zechuan licked the water between his lips, but they became even redder.He said: “It’s not even interesting.”

“Five hundred taels tonight,” Xiao Chiye leaned closer and whispered, “I guarantee the profit without losing any money.”

“I’m afraid that my delicate body won’t be able to bear it.” Shen Zechuan leaned back slightly, and his fingers slid down, through the thin material of the screen, down Xiao Chiye’s chest.

“Don’t underestimate yourself,” Xiao Chiye said with dangerous eyes, “Lan Zhou.”

Shen Zechuan retracted his hand and said, “When I came in just now, I saw someone else beside Zhou Gui. Who is that?”

“I don’t recognize him,” Xiao Chiye changed his clothes neatly, “It should be Zhou Gui’s master. I’ll find out later by asking at the table.”

“Since he didn’t let him go immediately, he still has concerns.” Shen Zechuan saw Xiao Chiye turn away from the screen, and then looked back into the courtyard, “When we talk at night, we can’t-”

Xiao Chiye suddenly picked up Shen Zechuan by the waist, turned around and pressed him against the wall beside the window, pressing him down and kissing him hard.Shen Zechuan raised his arms and hung them on him. He was dizzy by his sudden kiss and his breath was messy.

“You can’t use your power to bully others,” Xiao Chiye said with a serious look, “I must follow my wife’s instructions. I know that.”

Shen Zechuan was still panting, Xiao Chiye tightened his collar, pushed back his thick hair, and pinched Shen Zechuan’s right ear.

“I want to hang a pendant here as soon as possible and engrave my name, Xiao Ce’an.”
