Du Qi and Xieli Khan reached an agreement. The originally tense atmosphere in the king's tent was swept away. Both sides were no longer hostile, at least they had smiles on the surface.
Khan Xieli smiled and said, "It has been some time since the Tang dynasty's diplomatic corps came to the Turks. These few days, I have been busy with government affairs and could not set up a banquet. "
Du Qi listened and sneered in his heart.
What did he mean by busy with government affairs? He was just giving them the cold shoulder.
It was a show of strength.
Unfortunately, it did not work.
Du Qi still had a smile on his face, but he did not open his mouth, still looking like he was listening.
Khan Xieli continued, "Now that the negotiations are settled, I will set up a banquet to welcome you all. At the same time, I hope that Shbarghu can successfully complete his mission on this trip to Chang 'an. "
"Come, bring the wine!"
Xieli ordered, and Xiongnu soldiers came in with jar after jar of wine. Other than the soldiers who brought the wine, the soldiers also brought in many tables and chairs and placed them one by one.
Then, roasted mutton was brought in.
In a short time, everything was ready.
The atmosphere before was tit for tat, but now it was harmonious.
Xieli looked at Du Qi, but coldness flashed in his eyes. Although he was setting up a banquet, he had always taken Du Qi's sharp tongue to heart. Du Qi, this kid, although sharp tongue, he was young.
At such a young age, he might not be good at drinking wine.
Xieli picked up the wine jar and poured himself a cup, saying, "The Tang dynasty's diplomatic corps produced such a genius like Du Qi, I am very envious. Unfortunately, our Turks do not have such a prodigy. Du Qi, I toast you a cup of wine. "
Du Qi saw Xieli's expression and understood that Xieli was purposely trying to make him drink.
He was bullying him because he was young!
Unfortunately, Xieli had miscalculated. After Du Qi transmigrated, he had tasted the wine of this era. The wine of this era was not even as good as the beer of the future, the alcohol content was much lower.
After all, food was limited.
The wine that was brewed had very low alcohol content.
For someone who used to drink and eat skewers, this kind of drinking was not a challenge at all.
Drinking wine was like drinking water.
Seeing Du Qi not speaking, Xieli provoked him, saying, "Du Qi, could it be that you do not dare to drink wine? Or have you never drunk wine? A prodigy of the Tang dynasty, you are already in your teens, could it be that you still do not dare to drink wine? At your age, in our Turks, not to mention drinking wine, you already have women. What's more, some of the faster ones even had children born. "
Zhangsun Shunde had never seen Du Qi drink before. He said, "I will drink in Du Qi's place."
Xieli said said Xieli said, "Go to the side.
Xieli did not put Zhangsun Shunde in his eyes, so his gaze fell on Du Qi again. He said, "Du Qi, this khan only has one sentence, do you dare to drink wine?"
Although Shibo and Du Qi had reached an agreement, he did not mind the matter, so he joined in the fun and said, "Du Qi, when this khan was young, at your age, I was already drinking wine jar by jar. I have already drunk wine, could it be that you do not dare? "
He was also provoking him.
For Shibo, no matter who won, Du Qi and Xieli drinking wine, it would not affect him. If Du Qi won, Xieli would lose face, and he would be happy to see it happen. If Xieli won, Du Qi would lose face, and he would also feel that it was not bad.
As Shibo spoke, the rest of the Turks also spoke one after another.
They all spoke to provoke Du Qi.
They all hoped that Du Qi would drink wine.
Zhangsun Shunde saw this in his eyes, but he was worried. Du Qi did not drink and remained rational, for them, this was a good thing. The problem was, once Du Qi was drunk, no one would know.
Some people would lie down and sleep after getting drunk; some people would talk non-stop after getting drunk, and even do all kinds of strange things, showing their ugliness.
Zhangsun Shunde did not dare to take the risk.
He looked at Du Qi and shook his head, indicating that Du Qi would not accept the challenge. Because once Du Qi drank, when the time came to force him to drink wine one by one, Du Qi would not be able to bear it.
Du Qi looked at the wine on the table, shook his head and said, "The khan is toasting, how can I not drink? But drinking wine like this is really not interesting, there is no Turk's boldness. "
"Oh, you actually said that Turks are not bold when drinking wine, how preposterous!"
Xieli's expression was sharp, and he said aggressively, "Du Qi, tell me, how are you going to drink wine? No matter how you drink, this khan will accept. Today, this khan will accompany you to the end. "
He had the intention of humiliating Du Qi.
These few times he had suffered defeat at the hands of Du Qi, he was also quite unhappy.
Du Qi was really very cunning.
Especially Xieli felt that he was being led by the nose by Du Qi, this was also something that Xieli was not willing to do.
And Xieli drank wine like a cow, it was extremely powerful. Xieli was not afraid of getting drunk, so he was looking forward to drinking with Du Qi, getting Du Qi drunk, and making Du Qi drunk into a pool of mud.
That would be the best result.
Du Qi's expression was very calm, and he said neither hurriedly nor impatiently, "Khan is bold, Du Qi admires you. Du Qi's idea is actually very simple. You and I will sit opposite each other, on our respective tables, bowl after bowl of wine, and then we will continuously drink with the wine bowls. This is drinking to our heart's content! Turks drink boldly, so I will drink in the most bold way, let's see who will fall first, Khan or me. "
"Erlang, you can't!"
After Zhangsun Shunde heard this, he quickly dissuaded him.
Even his expression changed slightly, he was very worried about Du Qi. If it was a competition of knowledge and debate, Zhangsun Shunde had full confidence in Du Qi, he was not worried that Du Qi would have any problems.
He was very worried about this drinking competition.
Du Qi smiled at Zhangsun Shunde, shaking his head to indicate that Zhangsun Shunde need not worry. Since he dared to propose such a drinking competition, he would not be afraid, not to mention that he had transmigrated and drunk wine in private many times. It was just like drinking water, there was no effect.
"Hahaha …"
Seeing Zhangsun Shunde's worry, Xieli immediately laughed loudly, very happy.
On the surface, Du Qi looked calm and composed, but Zhangsun Shunde's worry made Xieli think that Du Qi was actually strong on the outside but weak on the inside, he could not drink much wine.
This time, Du Qi came up to take a beating. This was an excellent opportunity, he naturally had to grasp it.
Xieli was very confident, he said, "Du Qi, since you have proposed a gambling competition, then we will do as you say. Then, we'll do as you say. Servants, prepare some wine and bring over some tables and chairs. "
After saying this, he got up and walked to the center of the main tent and sat down. A soldier brought a new table and placed it in front of Xieli, then one after another wine bowls were placed on it.
Du Qi also walked to the opposite side of Xieli and sat down, allowing the Turk soldiers to place the wine bowls.
At this moment, fifteen wine bowls were placed on each of the two tables.
Xieli looked at the wine bowls on the table, he said, "Du Qi, now our wine bowls have been placed. Next, we will drink batch by batch, after all fifteen bowls are finished, we will continue the competition. "
Du Qi said, "No problem!"
Xieli ordered, "Pour the wine!"
"Wait!"
Du Qi smiled slightly, he said, "Khan, before we prepare to drink, I have a request. This is also the condition for me, a twelve or thirteen year old child, to risk my life to drink with Khan. In any case, you have to give me some sweetness. "
"Speak!"
Xieli waved his big sleeve.
He wanted to hear what other tricks Du Qi was going to play.
Du Qi said, "Actually, the condition is simple, I heard that Princess Yicheng of the Great Sui is a legendary figure. Princess Yicheng married to the Turks and served Qimin Khan, then Shibi Khan, Chuluo Khan, and now you, Khan, a total of four father and sons. I am rather curious about what kind of person she is. So, if I win in drinking, how about I ask the princess to dance in front of everyone to liven things up? "
"No problem!"
Xieli did not even think, he directly answered.
To Xieli, he felt that this was impossible, he said, "Du Qi, what you just said is that there will be benefits after you win. But what if you drink and lose to me? "
Du Qi acted shamelessly, he said, "Khan, I already said just now, you are someone who often drinks, I am a twelve or thirteen year old child, normally I do not drink at all."
"Now, I am also risking my life to accompany a gentleman. In order to drink with Khan, I am going all out. I am willing to accompany you to the end, to be willing to risk my life to drink, this is already the utmost benevolence. "
"Khan still wants me to give some conditions after I lose, I am afraid this is somewhat bullying!"
Du Qi shook his head, saying, "Once this matter spreads out, it is also not beneficial to Khan's prestige, don't you think?"
"Ha, your mouth is really unforgiving."
Khan Xieli laughed lightly, he said very confidently, "I agree to your request, however, you will definitely lose."
"Men, invite the princess here."
Xieli ordered.
