In the night breeze, the entire place was silent.
Everyone looked at Lu An and then at Qi You.
Qi You's expression was ugly. Of course, everyone's expression was ugly. Half a jar of wine, equivalent to thirty cups of wine, was downed just like that. As the host, should he follow or not?
Moreover, the crowd soon noticed that Lu An's eyes were no longer flickering. Instead, they became clear. Could it be that this young man did not get drunk after drinking half a jar of wine, but became sober?
How was that possible?
Lu An did not speak, but his eyes were fixed on Qi You. At this moment, he did not need to say anything. His gaze alone was enough to suppress Qi You.
In front of so many people, Qi You really did not want to drink. After all, he was going to be the king in three days. How could he let so many envoys see him drunk like a puddle of mud in three days' time?
However, at this moment, Qi Zhenshan, who was at the side, spoke.
"What are you hesitating for? Drink! "Qi Zhenshan shouted coldly, urging him.
Qi You's body trembled when he heard that. He looked at his father in shock. However, his father's gaze was too frightening. He could only pick up the jar of wine.
Qi Zhenshan's idea was simple. Everyone present was drunk and no one was sober enough to admit defeat. The Kingdom of Shang Qi could not be the only deserter!
Qi You glared at Lu An angrily, then picked up the jar of wine and began to gulp it down. His original idea was simple. He wanted to get everyone in Purple Lake City drunk, including Yang Mu. When the time came, he would drink some wine himself and sneak into Purple Lake City's courtyard to do something.
When the time came, what was done could not be undone. Moreover, he had a reason to get drunk. Even if Yang Mu did not agree, it would be impossible.
However, he never expected things to turn out this way.
Gulp … gulp …
The more Qi You drank, the more uncomfortable he felt. In the end, the wine spilled out from both sides of his mouth …
"Pfft!"
Qi You spat out the wine. His stomach and nose could no longer support it. He put down the jar of wine!
Bang!
When the crowd heard that sound, their bodies trembled!
It's over!
Purple Lake City won!
After a short moment of silence, everyone cheered at the same time! Everyone looked at the young man. This young man had conquered everyone with his actions!
In an instant, it was as if the focus of this banquet was not the State of Shangqi, but Purple Lake City!
Upon hearing the cheers, Lu An finally breathed a sigh of relief. He supported himself on the table and sat down with difficulty. Although the Ninth Heavens Sacred Flame had burned all the wine, the wine that he had absorbed before was enough to make him feel uncomfortable. He only felt a wave of dizziness in his head, and he almost couldn't sit still.
Luckily, Yang Mu supported Lu An in time, allowing Lu An to sit down steadily. Yang Mu asked anxiously, "How do you feel?"
"I'm a little dizzy." Lu An smiled bitterly. He didn't feel anything when he was standing, but the moment he sat down, the dizziness seemed to have multiplied several times, making him unable to see anything clearly.
"Then let's go back." Yang Mu hurriedly said when he heard Qi Zhenshan's words. He stood up and said to Qi Zhenshan with a displeased expression, "Monarch Qi, my men can't handle the alcohol and will take their leave first."
Hearing Yang Mu's words, Qi Zhenshan naturally couldn't disagree. He nodded and said, "There won't be a drinking contest tomorrow night."
Hearing Qi Zhenshan's words, Yang Mu's expression eased a little. He nodded and indifferently looked at Qi You, who had fallen to the side, and brought Lu An and the others back.
The three executives were carried back by the servants, while Lu An was supported by Yang Mu. Soon, the group returned to the courtyard. At this moment, Lu An had completely fainted and was completely placed on the bed by Yang Mu.
Yang Mu looked at Lu An who had fallen on the bed, and her heart was filled with sadness. Moreover, her heart was filled with mixed feelings. Looking at Lu An who had fallen on the bed, she didn't know what to do.
In the room, only Yang Mu stood by the bed. At this moment, Lu An had already fallen into a deep sleep. The smell of alcohol on his body was unpleasant, but Yang Mu didn't care at all. She just stood by Lu An's bed.
Suddenly, she sat down, sat on the bed, and looked at Lu An closer.
Then, she bent down. Wearing a dress, her body was infinitely close to Lu An until their faces were only a few millimeters apart.
Lu An's breath was on her beautiful face, and she just quietly looked at the sleeping Lu An.
Then she approached again.
At this night, there was always something more intoxicating than the smell of alcohol.

The next day.
The sun shone on Lu An's eyes. Even if his eyes were closed, it made Lu An somewhat uncomfortable. Finally, he slowly raised his hand to block the sun, and then slowly opened his eyes.
How long had he slept?
Lu An was just about to get up, but his head was dizzy. He couldn't use any strength in his body, and it was very uncomfortable. It took him a lot of effort to sit up.
Then, Lu An looked around. This was the room he saw yesterday, and he also slept here last night.
Lu An quickly remembered what happened last night. He rubbed his head and then lifted the quilt.
He saw that his coat had been taken off, leaving only the pants inside, which made Lu An slightly startled. Could it be that the servants took off their clothes to make him more comfortable?
Lu An didn't care much about it. He got out of bed, moved his body and put on his clothes. Just as he put on his clothes, the door was opened from the outside.
Lu An was startled. He turned his head and found that it was Yang Mu who came in. She had changed into an ordinary dress, but the dress was less heroic and more feminine.
Yang Mu was holding a hot porridge in her hand. When she found that Lu An got up, her face turned red, and then she asked, "You're awake."
"En." Lu An nodded. Looking at Yang Mu's flushed face, he didn't know what happened.
"Drink some porridge." Yang Mu put down the porridge and said with a red face, "There are herbs to cure the hangover. Let the servants prepare it."
"Okay, thank you." Lu An smiled. He was also very hungry, so he sat down and began to eat.
After breakfast, Lu An felt a lot more comfortable. The day after tomorrow was the day of Qi You's coronation. There were still two days of free time. Just when Lu An wanted to ask Yang Mu what she planned to do, Yang Mu opened her mouth first.
"Today, the people of Shang Qi will lead us to visit the barracks." Yang Mu said, "It's the envoys from all the countries. Now that most of the envoys have arrived, it should be to show the strength of the country. After all, this is a rare opportunity. "
Lu An nodded and said, "Okay."
"However, I'm afraid only you, me, and Xiao Lan can go today." Yang Mu said, slightly frowning, "The three executives haven't woken up yet. I'm afraid they will sleep until night."
Lu An was startled when he heard this. Then he nodded and said, "Okay."
Soon, Lu An simply tidied himself up and went to the meeting place with Yang Mu and Xiao Lan. Because Lu An woke up late, the three of them arrived at the meeting place a little late. However, when the envoys saw Lu An appear, not only did they not blame him, but they also looked at him with surprise and praise.
They didn't expect that this young man had already woken up and was accompanying the princess. They heard that this young man was a noble of Purple Lake City. They suddenly found that he was a good match for the princess.
The one who led them to visit the barracks was the general of Shang Qi, who was also in charge of the imperial guards. His name was Li Pingzheng.
But when he saw that everyone had arrived, Li Pingzheng said loudly, "Today, I will lead you to visit the barracks of the imperial guards. At the same time, I would also like to invite you to give your valuable opinions and exchange them with each other."
The envoys of the various countries nodded and got on the carriage. They went straight from the palace to the barracks of the imperial guards.
