Sun Yin had always been a fast drinker. He swayed the expensive half flask of Green Ant Wine and sighed, "Ah, my head hurts! My ambition is too high, I see too clearly, I think too clearly. So I, Sun Yin, am even lonelier than you idiots. In the future, I won't waste my Green Ant Wine with a fellow Beiliang like you. "
Liu Huai said softly, "I've thought it through. I still want to be an official."
Sun Yin immediately scolded jokingly, "Son of a bitch, you're even more stubborn than Li Jifeng. When did I not let you be an official! If you don't become an official, how will you help me, Sun Yin, in the future? "
Liu Huai said sullenly, "But I only want to be an official for myself and do things for Beiliang."
This time, it was Sun Yin's turn to be stunned.
After a long silence, Sun Yin stood up, put down the flask of wine and walked towards his room. He seemed to be talking to himself, "It seems that you've really thought it through. Then I didn't drink the wine for nothing, I didn't speak for nothing."
Liu Huai hesitated and then picked up the wine flask. He sniffed and turned his head to ask, "I drank it?"
With his back to Liu Huai, Sun Yin reached out a hand and bent his little finger. "There are about three mouthfuls of wine left. Just treat it as you owe me three taels of silver. Seeing that we're fellow Beiliang, I'll only take … six taels of silver from you!"
Liu Huai asked, "How did you calculate this?!"
Sun Yin walked into the room and suddenly closed the door. He said loudly, "I, Sun Yin, am number one in the world in terms of craftsmanship! My ability to kill acquaintances is number two in the world! "
Liu Huai turned around and took a small sip of the Green Ant Wine. He shuddered.
From then on, Great Peace City had another drunkard.
However, many years later, the young drunkard did not become an old drunkard. Instead, he became a … wine immortal.

The fourth year of Auspicious Charm, the spring flowers bloomed.
Beiliang's Huaiyang Pass was located at the border of Dragon Waist State to the north.
A little girl with a sable forehead and a Xianbei jade buckle on her waist was leading a crimson colt that looked like a ball of flame, slowly walking on the vast grassland. She looked like she was carved from jade, and could probably be called a top beauty in the world.
Behind her were three old-fashioned guards. One was at the Finger Xuan Realm, one was at the Vajra Realm, and one was at the Second Grade Master Realm.
On this tranquil grassland that was destined not to have any war, just the lineup of these three people was enough to make people speechless. It should be noted that right now, Liang Mang was in the middle of a war, and all the experts and grandmasters had already moved out in full force. The local snake that crossed the river, the thousand-year-old tortoise under the pond, had all followed the 400,000-strong army to the North Resisting City. For a child who looked like he was in his teens to have three retainers, it could be seen that his status was illustrious. In fact, it was not only the three top experts. Behind the four of them, there were also six to seven hundred armored elite cavalry, and dozens of assassins who were lurking in the dark. Finally, there were a total of sixty horse retainers patrolling around in an orderly manner.
They were the Crow Retainers. Before the Battle of Dragon Eye Plain, they were the only scouts in the world who could compete with the White Horse Crossbowmen in Liangzhou. They were the elites that Dong Zhuo spent a lot of effort to train. These sixty horse retainers were the last seeds of the Dong Family, but at this time, they were all used to ensure the safety of a little girl.
But in the Dong Family army, no one dared to question them.
Because everyone knew that in the eyes of General Dong Zhuo, this little niece of his was more precious than all the princesses of the Northern and Southern Dynasties combined.
The little girl did not like to talk, but she did not have an arrogant temperament. Moreover, she was born to make people feel close to her. Even the three expert retainers who escorted her aimlessly all liked this naive and unaffected girl from the bottom of their hearts.
That Finger Profound Realm martial arts master suddenly turned his head and looked to the north. At the farthest place he could see, several Crow Retainers were confronting a grassland cavalry of unknown origin. Soon, half of the Dong Family's private cavalry galloped over and quickly surrounded the four people. The remaining three hundred or so cavalry headed north.
That dusty and haggard cavalry seemed to be exhausted from running for their lives. Their formation was stretched intermittently. In the vision of the six Crow Retainers, there were at least seven hundred cavalry. Moreover, according to the information sent back by two of the retainers, there were at least a thousand cavalry in this cavalry army.
The cavalry leader in the Chiliarch attire raised his horsewhip high and shouted angrily, "Quickly get out of the way! I am chasing after a fugitive. This is the military order of the Jade Toad Province's Commandant and General Huyan! Those who block me will die! "
The six Crow Retainers turned a deaf ear and were completely indifferent. They did not move forward or retreat.
The Beimang Chiliarch, who was full of anger, narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth. If it were not for the fact that he saw more than three hundred cavalry rushing over, he would have led his troops and charged over. It was only six cavalry. No matter how powerful you were, you would still die!
The young Dong Family cavalry stopped his horse and asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?"
The Beimang Chiliarch turned his head and spat fiercely, "I am the Commander of the Jade Toad Province's Commandant, Yelu Xuanping! Why aren't you getting out of the way?! If you delay the important matter, not to mention a kid like you who hasn't even grown hair, even your master will die! "
The Dong Family cavalry said expressionlessly, "I am the Chiliarch of the cavalry army under General Dong, Yelu Xuezhen. No matter who you are, just charge forward. "
The Chiliarch's arrogance instantly disappeared. It was as if he had become shorter. His lips moved slightly, but he could not say a word.
In the entire thirteen provinces of the grassland, there were countless generals of all sizes. However, there were only thirteen Commandants in twenty years. Until Fatty Dong, who was once the king of the southern courtyard, became the fourteenth.
He was also a Chiliarch with the same surname, Yelu. The Chiliarch who came from the north gnashed his teeth in hatred. He glanced at the six Crow Retainers and then looked at the three hundred cavalry. He was sure that it was really Dong Zhuo's private cavalry! Wasn't General Dong fighting to the death with the Beiliang Commandant Chu Lushan at the Huaiyang Pass? How could there be cavalry leisurely strolling around the border of the Dragon Waist Province? In the end, they even bumped into me?!
His face was bitter as he helplessly said, "General Yelu, to tell you the truth, I am currently under orders to kill a Jianghu expert who escaped from Dunhuang. Not only me, but there are also three other cavalry armies heading south. Not to mention our casualties, even the Spider Web spies have lost dozens of people along the way."
The Dong Family cavalry frowned. After thinking for a while, he said, "My young master is behind us. If you go south, you can go around one li away."
That chiliarch said with a sullen face, "General Yelu, on this trip to the south, we really wish we could flip up every inch of the land to take a look, afraid that we would miss that expert. Now that that person is heavily injured, he definitely can't run far. At most, he is ten li away from us. My cavalry army has people who are good at hunting. If you are worried that we will disturb your noble, then I will only bring one hundred cavalry to follow you. How about it? General Yelu, you are a magnanimous person. Don't make things difficult for me, okay? Just take it as I, Yelu Xuanping, am begging you! "
The Dong Family cavalry was hesitant.
The Chiliarch put away his flattering expression and said in a low voice, "I, Yelu Xuanping, have lost two hundred and twenty three brothers. They can't die in vain!"
The Dong Family's cavalry general raised his head and looked over. Behind this person, there was a large cavalry force. There were seven or eight small cavalry groups, each with a dozen or so cavalry groups. Most of them were led by a knight who wasn't wearing iron armor. Like a large net, they galloped towards the south in an orderly manner.
He finally nodded and said slowly, "I can make the decision and allow you to bring a small amount of cavalry to follow me south. One hundred cavalry. If there is one more, I will kill one. "
Although the Jade Toad provincial cavalry general felt a little regretful, he was more than happy.
This person was also a decisive person. He raised his arm and waved his hand. Only ninety or so cavalry followed him south. The rest of the cavalry were one li away on the two sides, continuing forward.
Unknowingly, the encirclement of the three hundred horsemen around the little girl had expanded by fifty paces. Three of her personal retainers were standing side by side behind the girl.
Seeing this scene, the Dong Family cavalry general, Yelu Xiezhen, narrowed his eyes and didn't make a sound.
In the group of a hundred people chasing the cavalry army, the three riders who seemed to be randomly galloping would occasionally dismount and carefully observe the grassland. They would even pull up a blade of grass and sniff it. They would follow the edge of the circular formation and gradually head south. Finally, they mounted their horses. After the three people's gazes met, one of them shook his head at the cavalry general.
Yelu Xuanping's expression was complicated. It was unknown whether he was disappointed or relieved. After carefully sizing up the little girl several times from the corner of his eyes, he cupped his fists and said gratefully to the Dong Family cavalry general not far away, "No matter what, this general thanks General Yelu!"
The two cavalry generals had the same surname and the same official position. However, the one who called himself this general knew that he couldn't do anything with the other party.
Yelu Xiezhen said calmly, "You have worked hard."
The cavalry army that was like an autumn hunt on the grassland continued south to pursue prey.
After the cavalry army disappeared from sight, Yelu Xiezhen rode his horse to the little girl's side. He had long since reached out and pressed down on the hilt of his blade, staring at the grassland not far to the south.
At the same time, the three martial masters all turned around. The Finger Profound Realm retainer completely blocked the little girl's figure. The other two were separated by a dozen or so steps.
It was Tao Manwu. The little girl poked her head out and softly shouted, "You can come out."
There was no movement at all.
She raised her voice and kindly reminded, "It's useless even if you continue to hide."
Finally, the grassland loosened slightly and then exploded with a bang. An abnormally tall and sturdy figure quickly and violently charged towards Tao Manwu. Two thick chains pulled out a rainbow light, respectively stabbing towards the chests of the two retainers on the left and right of the little girl.
The little girl hurriedly shouted, "Don't kill!"
If it had been a moment later, that assassin's neck would have been broken by the Finger Profound Realm retainer.
This retainer had already arrived in front of the assassin. The five fingers of his left hand grasped the man's neck. His right hand clenched into a fist, only an inch away from the assassin's heart.
