"Do you have wine?"
Wang Yan withdrew his gaze from Gao Li and suddenly asked Gongsun Sanniang. Gongsun Sanniang was slightly stunned, but then said, "Just some bland rice wine."
"Bring it, as much as you have."
Gongsun Sanniang didn't understand Wang Yan's intention, but she still did as he said. It seemed that as long as Wang Yan didn't mention the remaining forty-five taels of gold, she would be satisfied with anything. Not long after, the farm women in the village carried more than ten jars of rice wine, one after another. This kind of movement naturally attracted attention.
Before, Wang Yan kept thinking about how Zhang Xiaobao got close to people and dealt with them, but in the end, he couldn't learn the innate lowly manner of Master Po. In the end, he simply didn't think about it, picked up two jars of rice wine, and walked toward Ye Xiaofei and the other three.
"Brothers, I am Wang Yan. It's my first time here, and I know very little about the things here. However, traveling outside is the chance to find gold, silver, treasures, and secret manuals, so I can't miss it. Therefore, Gongsun Sanniang invited me to come here. It's fate that we meet. Even if my goal is the same as yours, getting the treasures depends on your own ability. Before this, Wang Yan hopes to make friends with you by drinking wine, so that I won't waste our acquaintance. "
As he said this, Wang Yan directly tore open the seal of a jar of rice wine with his mouth, then raised his head and drank to his heart's content. He drank the wine quickly and hurriedly, and clear drops of wine kept flowing down the corner of his mouth. However, Wang Yan didn't care, letting the wine soak his chest, which made him look even more heroic. When the wine in the jar was finished, Wang Yan wiped the corner of his mouth, put another jar of wine on the table, and said, "Please!"
"Good manners!"
The other three people didn't react to Wang Yan's behavior, but Xia He slammed the table and stood up, clapping his hands and applauding Wang Yan, and said, "Brother Wang is right. No matter who else, we all have the same goal. There is nothing to hide. There are only two things, and in the end, whoever gets it will depend on their own ability.
Brother Wang is straightforward and upright. I, Xia He, am willing to make friends with such a person! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia He took the jar of wine on the table, opened the seal, and drank wildly. Wang Yan laughed heartily, and then shouted, "Bring the wine."
Gongsun Sanniang immediately waved his hand, and several peasant women carried seven or eight jars of wine to the back of Wang Yan. Ye Xiaofei looked at Wang Yan's behavior, and heard Xia He's words, and couldn't help but frown. Hatred appeared on her face, as if she was thinking of a countermeasure. However, Wang Yan didn't wait for her to think of an excuse, and placed two jars of wine in front of Gao Li and Mo Wenxin.
"This way, please!"
Mo Wenxin was from the Yuan He Sect, which was considered a second-rate power in the northern part of Nanyue State. Although it couldn't compete with the three major sects, it had a long history, and the sect's resources were strong. Therefore, when he stood in the hall, he faintly showed a trace of arrogance. In addition, he was invited here by Ye Xiaofei, so he didn't buy Wang Yan's words, and only turned to look at Ye Xiaofei.
Gao Li, on the other hand, was a bit reserved, but he didn't forget his manners. He opened the jar of wine and poured half a bowl, then took a small sip, and smiled apologetically, "I can't hold my liquor, please excuse me."
Seeing the two's reaction, Wang Yan didn't say anything, but Xia He, who had finished the entire jar of wine, said, "You two aren't straightforward at all. No wonder, one only knows how to circle around women, and the other has a sinister mind."
Having said this, Xia He walked in front of Wang Yan, and said, "Brother Wang, you and I hit it off, why don't we switch to another table and drink?"
Wang Yan didn't want to make friends with everyone, but now that he got Xia He, he was very satisfied. He immediately reopened a table with Xia He, but Wang Yan didn't forget his goal. He ordered the Gongsun Sanniang to bring a dozen or so jars of wine to the others in the hall, then raised his cup and shouted, "I know that everyone has stayed in this farm for some time. Now that the important matter is approaching, why don't we drink to our heart's content for the night before we leave? To boost our spirits, Wang Yan raises a toast to everyone!"
The Jianghu people in the hall obviously came from all over the place, and they had no prior connections. Most of them were recruited by Ye Xiaofei, and they were all gang runners with average strength. They weren't ambitious, and they only wanted to earn money from the Gongsun Sanniang. But for this mission, they had stayed in this farm for some time, and they couldn't help but feel bored. Now that the mission was about to start, they were excited and nervous, and wine was a good thing for them.
This wasn't the first time Wang Yan drank. Back in the Aojian Villa, when there were fierce battles every day, Gu Xiaoyue's subordinates would always have a small gathering after the mission ended, and drink a few cups of wine to relieve the mental fatigue caused by the long hours of killing. Wang Yan also often participated in these gatherings, because he found that these people could easily reveal some relatively secret information after drinking.
As dozens of jars of wine were brought into the hall, the place suddenly became a big drinking place. Wang Yan didn't care about anything else, and sat at the same table with Xia He, eating big pieces of meat and drinking big bowls of wine. Xia He was an open-minded person, and although he drank to his heart's content, he couldn't hold his liquor well. After three to five jars of rice wine, this guy was a little dizzy, and he pulled Wang Yan to spill the secrets of eight lifetimes.
"Brother Wang, I can tell that you're a disciple of a big sect, and you have the heroic spirit of the Jianghu, so you must be someone in real life.
You don't know, but since I was young, I've been yearning for the life of the Jianghu, full of fighting and swords. It's a pity that my family is too poor, and both my parents are sick, and I have two younger sisters. I have too many worries, and in the end, I couldn't let go of my hands and feet, and I didn't make a name for myself. Now that I've come to this world, I feel that my body and mind are carefree, and I have no worries.
I don't have money, and I can't bear to spend it, so I can't enter a big sect, but I relied on this knife of mine to get to where I am now, step by step. I don't dare to boast about other things, but I can handle three to five people like Mo Wenxin with embroidered pillows.
As for that Gao Li, he's a cunning guy, and only knows how to plot in the dark. I, Xia He, don't want to bother with this kind of person, but I like to make friends with people like Brother Wang. Happy! Happy … Huff … "
Xia He seemed to be drunk, and as he spoke, he leaned on the table, and started snoring. Wang Yan had a good impression of this person, but he would still do what he had to do. As he thought of this, Wang Yan took out a jar of wine, opened the seal, and poured a bowl of wine, and drank it slowly. As he drank, he observed the others in the hall. While the others were not paying attention to him, he took out a small paper bag from his waist with his left hand, and quickly opened the paper bag, and poured the white powder inside into the jar of wine.
Soon after, Wang Yan took out a small red pill with a pungent smell from his pocket, and put it in his mouth. When he was fully prepared, he picked up the jar of wine, and walked towards the hall with the bowl of wine. However, he did not notice that Xia He, who was lying on the table, had quietly opened his eyes, and Gao Li, who was opposite him, turned his head to look at Wang Yan's back, and the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile.
"My name is Wang Yan. It is fate that we meet here today, brother. The people of Jianghu have no taboos, and all unspoken words are in the wine."
As Wang Yan spoke, he toasted everyone in the hall one by one. After a full hour, he finally finished toasting everyone. By then, more than half of the people in the hall were sprawled on the table, snoring non-stop. The entire hall was like a scene of people having a hangover from the wine party.
Wang Yan also drank a lot of wine, and he walked in the hall swaying and hiccuping. If it was not for the Heart Unwinding Pill in his mouth to resist the effects of the wine and the knockout drug, he would have been lying on the bed drunk. However, Wang Yan was very sober now, and he even felt the blood in his body boiling with excitement. When he walked to the table between Xia He and Ye Xiaofei, only Ye Xiaofei, Mo Wenxin, Gao Li, and a few others were still sober in the hall.
"Hehe, the meat has been eaten, and the wine has been drunk. It's time to get down to business."
