Western Liang had been in the capital for many days. Most of them lived in seclusion, especially Qin Guanyue, who was ranked ninth on the Asura List.
Nobodies couldn't see the secret confrontations between the big shots. Even if they didn't go out, the fights between the masters had already begun when they were on the list.
But no matter if they were big shots or nobodies, as long as they drank wine, all the grudges in the world seemed to become unimportant.
Wine was undoubtedly a good thing. It could make people forget their worries and increase their courage. What they usually didn't dare to do or say, as long as the wine entered their stomachs, they would immediately be fearless.
But good wine was rare, and unforgettable wine was even rarer.
Recently, a tavern that brewed top-grade wine appeared in Guiyi Lane. It was said that the fragrance of the wine could be heard from ten miles away. It had only been open for two days, and countless customers had come. After coming, there were even those who loved wine as much as their lives and couldn't bear to leave.
Unfortunately, the wine provided by the tavern was very limited. Not everyone who came here could drink it.
The tavern opened at noon every day, and there would be dozens or hundreds of people waiting outside early in the morning.
"Young Master, is the wine here really as good as you say?" Three "guests" from Western Liang were at the front of the line. The one who spoke was a man with a large mole on his forehead.
This person was about thirty years old and had a naturally cold face. Beneath his drooping eyelids were a pair of dead fish eyes. Only when he mentioned the word "wine" did his eyes shine slightly, allowing people to distinguish him from a dead man.
His name was Lu Xian, one of the instructors of Western Liang's Grand Council. He was very good at scheming and was known as Ghost Genius Lu Xian. The Grand Council had won several battles thanks to his advice.
At the same time, he was also the favorite student of the Grand Council's famous general, Lu Qizhong.
There were probably thousands of imperial generals who lost their lives to his schemes. He was also known as the Killer Military Advisor.
"Oh, Instructor Lu, you don't even believe the young master's words. Do you want to rebel?"
There was a young man in his twenties on Lu Xian's left. He said with an emotionless tone, "Oh, Instructor Lu, I support you if you want to rebel, but I won't be on your side."
The veins on Lu Xian's forehead tightened, and he said angrily, "If you don't stand on my side, then what the hell are you talking about? Also, I was just too excited. Just say that I want to rebel. I think you are the one who wants to rebel the most! "
The young man continued to speak in an emotionless tone, "Because rebellion is a very sacred cause. It's impossible for Uncle Wastrel to accomplish it."
"You're the loser! You can't even pass the Academy Examination and can only be the Young Master's attendant. Why did you come to Yongling? You bastard! "
Lu Xian took two deep breaths in an attempt to quickly calm his anger.
If someone were to see him like this, he would really lose all his face.
To Lu Xian's right, there was also a young man in his early twenties. He was staring at the sign of the wine shop with a serious expression, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
When he heard the two of them arguing, he glanced at them and said in a deep voice, "Enough, you two. Pay attention. This isn't Liang Province. If people find out that the Young Master of the Western Liang Military Academy is here, we'll be ganged up on!"
The noise in the wine alley suddenly disappeared. It was so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard. Even the occasional chirping of insects stopped.
Hundreds of pairs of eyes stared at the three of them.
"Oh, Young Master, we didn't say it. You said it yourself." The young man on the left said expressionlessly.
Lu Xian put his hand on his forehead and weakly rolled his eyes. "Run, run …"
"Do the Western Liang people deserve to drink our Yongling wine? Chase them away! "
"Western Liang barbarians, today I'll teach you how powerful I am!"
In the midst of a large number of flying unidentified objects, the three of them fled in panic.
Every shop in Yongling was separated by high walls. These high walls formed crisscrossing alleys. Without a familiar guide, it was very easy to get lost.
"Oh, Instructor Lu, Instructor Lu, it's all your fault. You made the Young Master stupid."
"You bastard, one day I'll tear you into pieces!" Lu Xian was furious. He wanted to rush up and tear his mouth apart.
"Isn't that so? Are you saying that the Young Master is stupid? "
"Get lost!"
…
"Where are we?" Surrounded by towering walls, Lu Xian looked around blankly.
"Hmm …" The Young Master leaned against the wall with his hand under his chin. He seemed to be in deep thought.
The other two couldn't help but look at him.
Suddenly, the Young Master had a flash of inspiration. He came to a conclusion. "We're lost."
Lu Xian had the urge to faint. He couldn't help but cry in his heart, 'Our Lord is so wise and powerful. How did he give birth to such a … Young Master …'
The expressionless young man said, "Oh, Instructor Lu, Instructor Lu, are you thinking that our Lord is so wise and powerful. How did he give birth to such a … Young Master?"
Lu Xian glared at him and snorted coldly. "How can a mere mortal like you guess the thoughts of this Head Instructor?"
However, he secretly wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
"Alright, alright. Stop arguing. If you continue, the way back won't appear on its own."
The Young Master's name was Qin Yiqiu. He was one of the five students selected for the exchange.
He looked around and said, "Nothing will happen even if we stop here. We'll each take one path. Those who walk out will come back to pick up the others. We'll meet back here in an hour."
Lu Xian grabbed Qin Yiqiu who was about to leave. He coughed and said, "Well, I think this is a good idea, but …"
The expressionless young man immediately said, "Oh, Young Master, Instructor Lu is afraid that you're so stupid that you'll get lost before you find the way. If we can't find you, we won't be able to answer to Second Master."
Lu Xian was furious. He pointed at the young man's nose. "Oh my god! Will you die if you don't say a word? Will you die? "
"Xiaoyi, is that how you see me too?" Qin Yiqiu looked hurt.
The young man called Xiaoyi was Yan Xiaoyi. He was a candidate who was eliminated by the Military Council. For some reason, he got along well with Qin Yiqiu and became Qin Yiqiu's personal attendant.
Yan Xiaoyi said expressionlessly, "Young Master's decision is wise. I support any decision you make. However, I have an idea. Young Master, why don't you listen to it? "
"Speak."
Yan Xiaoyi said, "You heard Instructor Lu's loud voice. It made my head dizzy. Why don't we let him howl? Second Master might hear our cries for help. "
"Yan Xiaoyi, do you think I won't beat you up until your mother can't recognize you?" Lu Xian said angrily.
Yan Xiaoyi said expressionlessly, "Oh, I'm an orphan. Even if Instructor Lu doesn't beat me up, my mother won't recognize me. If Instructor Lu really wants to beat me up, please beat me back to my mother's womb. I want to ask her personally why she abandoned me. "
The veins on Lu Xian's forehead bulged. He gritted his teeth. "Young Master, please allow me to strangle him to death!"
"Cough, cough." Qin Yiqiu patted his shoulder. "Instructor Lu, Xiaoyi is an orphan. He's eaten dead rats before. How pitiful. Please don't lower yourself to his level."
Lu Xian gritted his teeth and exhaled a mouthful of foul air. He used his mental cultivation technique to get rid of all distracting thoughts. His mind entered a state of clarity.
After a while, he nodded. "I know where this is. Please follow me, Young Master. "
After saying that, he led the way, leading the two of them through an alley and into another alley.
"It's really here!" Lu Xian sniffed with his nose and said happily, "This is the backyard of the tavern."
After running for half a day, they were still wandering around in Guiyi Lane. Moreover, they were only one alley away.
Lu Xian loved alcohol. He especially loved high-grade alcohol with a strong aroma.
He gulped and said, "Young Master, let's turn around and buy another one? I think those people don't have time to bother with us now. "
Qin Yiqiu loved alcohol too. He said worriedly, "But there are so many people waiting in line. We might not have any left when it's our turn."
Yan Xiaoyi said, "Oh, Young Master. Young Master, I have an idea."
"Speak."
Yan Xiaoyi said, "If we climb over the wall, won't we be one step ahead of them?"
"Good idea." Qin Yiqiu was overjoyed.
Lu Xian frowned slightly and said, "Isn't this stealing? We're soldiers of the Grand Council. If we climb over a wall to buy alcohol, what will the world think of us? "
Qin Yiqiu laughed and said, "All's fair in war! It's decided. Climb the wall! "
After that, he grabbed Yan Xiaoyi's back and leaped onto the top of the wall.
Lu Xian had no choice but to follow.
The three of them had just landed on the wall when their expressions froze.
There was a table and four long benches in the courtyard.
There was a young man sitting on a long bench opposite them, playing with the wine glass in his hand with a playful look on his face. "I heard everything you said."
"Yan Li?" Lu Xian narrowed his eyes.
He recognized the young man immediately. He was the Yan Li who embarrassed them on the street on the day Western Liang entered the capital.
Yan Li put down his glass and gestured for them to sit. "If you don't mind, please have a seat."
Qin Yiqiu walked over with a smile and sat opposite him. "Sorry to disturb you, Brother Yan."
Lu Xian was confused, but he still walked over and said, "Why are you here, Brother Yan? Is this tavern … "
Yan Li shook his head and said, "The owner of this tavern is a friend of mine. He knows that I like peace and quiet, so he arranged for me to stay here."
After pouring three full glasses for them, he raised his glass and said with a smile, "A thousand cups is too little when drinking with a bosom friend, but half a word is too much when we don't get along. We're all the same, so let's skip the pleasantries. Cheers. "
After that, he raised his head and downed the entire glass.
Lu Xian downed the entire glass in one gulp and felt the alcohol explode in his mouth. An incomparably spicy taste occupied all his taste buds and slid down his throat. Before it even reached his stomach, a surging heat wave spread to his limbs and bones.
The moment the alcohol entered his stomach, it exploded with a 'boom'. His entire stomach felt like it was burning.
He tried his best not to use his Primordial Qi, but he was soon drenched in sweat.
Just one glass was enough to make him feel like he was in the heat of the summer. No wonder this tavern had only been open for a few days, but it had already spread all over Yongling.
Without a doubt, this was the kind of alcohol a man should drink.
"What's it called?" Lu Xian asked in a low voice.
