Eating meat and drinking wine were the happiest moments of a person's life. However, to the Tubo envoys, eating meat and drinking wine was an extremely painful matter.
Even if their stomachs were full, they still had to stuff food into their stomachs. This was a very painful feeling. The Tubo envoys had never imagined that they would one day hate meat so much.
What made it even more difficult for the Tubo envoys to accept was Xie Qianchou. This wine, which they could only look up to in the past, was now constantly stimulating their stomachs. Coupled with the fact that their stomachs were full of lamb meat, it was even more unbearable.
The only thing they could do was to keep rubbing the goatskin, trying to find something to do to divert their attention and expend their energy.
Every hour, they would drink wine and eat meat. Although the Tubo envoys were having a difficult time, they still proceeded in an orderly manner. Finally, little by little, they endured until the afternoon. Finally, it was almost evening. The Tubo envoys naturally could not stay in the palace at night. Seeing that the sun was about to set, the time was about to end.
Seeing that there was still a lot of lamb meat in front of everyone, Lu Dongzan could not help but feel embarrassed. He had underestimated Mo Jiazi's problem. Even though he had done his best and had not made a single mistake, each person eating a lamb and drinking a jar of wine was still an almost impossible task.
"Merton!"
Suddenly, Lu Dongzan heard Chef Yang's enthusiastic voice and could not help but raise his head. He saw that Mo Jiazi had unexpectedly appeared in the kitchen again.
Lu Dongzan could not help but say coldly, "Merton, are you here to help me on my last journey? Congratulations on your revenge, Merton."
Meton laughed and said, "Minister Lu is a famous sage. Since we have reached this point, naturally you have found a chance of survival that I have left behind."
"A chance of survival?" The Tubo envoys could not help but be stunned. They clearly could not eat anymore and could no longer solve the problem. How could there be a chance of survival?
Lu Dongzan was silent and did not say anything.
Seeing this, Meton could not help but sneer, "I did not expect that the great Lu Dongzan would want to be a whore and claim the chastity card. You clearly want to live rather than bear a bad reputation. In that case, this Marquis will be the villain to the end and tell you where your chance of survival lies. "
Immediately, the Tubo envoys revealed hopeful eyes. Lu Dongzan opened his mouth to stop him, but in the end, he did not say anything.
Modun couldn't help but snicker. "This slim chance of survival means that all of you have to risk your lives to eat meat and drink wine, even if you're stuffed to death. The final chance of survival is naturally left for Lu Dongzan. Lu Dongzan, do you want to sacrifice ninety-nine people to save yourself, or sacrifice yourself to save the other ninety-nine envoys?
"Ah!"
The Tubo envoys could not help but exclaim to Lu Dongzan envoys..
Lu Dongzan's expression turned ugly. He took a deep breath and said, "If I can return to Tubo, I will definitely take care of your families, wives, and children."
If Meton did not appear, he would naturally put on a show to make these Tubo envoys willingly throw away their lives for him. However, Meton had immediately torn away his fig leaf.
The Tubo envoys could not help but smile bitterly, immediately understanding Lu Dongzan's choice.
"Great Minister, this lowly one is deeply indebted to the great minister. Today, this lowly one will return this life to the great minister." Lu Dongzan's personal guard smiled bitterly. He picked up the mutton in front of him and forcefully tore and swallowed until the last mouthful of meat was swallowed with a pained expression. Finally, he raised his head and drank the remaining half a jin of wine. He actually finished an entire mutton and a jar of wine in one day.
When the other Tufan envoys saw this, they smiled sadly. They resolutely picked up the wine and meat in front of them and followed suit. Soon, the goats were eaten one by one, and the jars of wine were emptied. There were even those who were loyal to Lu Dongzan who reluctantly ate the wine and meat for him.
When the sun finally set, Lu Dongzan was the only Tubo envoys who could stand. The rest were lying on the ground, holding their stomachs and crying out in pain.
"I wonder if this problem can be considered solved." Lu Dongzan coldly said as he patted the hundred tanned sheepskins in front of him.
Meton nodded and said, "Of course. I will not make things difficult for you on this trip to the Tang dynasty."
Lu Dongzan had escaped death, but he did not have the slightest bit of hope. He could not help but look sadly at the Tubo envoys. Only 180 soldiers from the Firearms Division had died. Killing 5,000 soldiers before was not enough to vent their hatred. They had even used him to kill nearly a hundred people.
"Farewell!"
Lu Dongzan cupped his hands and directly left the Tubo envoys who were crying out in pain.
Meton looked at the Tubo envoys who were crying out in pain on the ground and sighed in his heart. He waved his hand and said, "Men, carry these Tubo envoys to the Mo Hospital. I'm sure the Mo Hospital will like this batch of patients very much. As for how many of them can survive, it will depend on their luck."
Even though the Great Tang Empire had a liberal culture, they were still rather apprehensive about disembowelment. As a result, even though the Mo Hospital had the relevant theories, they didn't have the chance to test it out. Now that they had this batch of Tufan envoys, the surgical skills of the Mo Hospital would definitely improve by leaps and bounds.
Of course, this was also the good fortune of these Tubo envoys who were bound to die. If it was before, these people would have either died from overeating or drinking. There was no possibility of survival.
"Lu Dongzan solved three questions in a row!"
When night fell, the news of Lu Dongzan solving three questions in a row had spread throughout Chang 'an City. Everyone could not help but be in an uproar. No one had thought that Lu Dongzan would actually solve Mo Jiazi's problem.
"Mo Jiazi actually lost?" Some of the Chang 'an citizens were in disbelief.
"Lost?" Someone even scoffed, "That's the Mo Family's son who left Lu Dongzan a lifeline. Lu Dongzan found it, that's all. Do you know where Lu Dongzan got this lifeline?"
"Sacrificing nearly a hundred people just for one person to live." The citizens of Chang 'an City were in an uproar. When they heard that Lu Dongzan did not hesitate to sacrifice a hundred people for his own survival, their impression of him plummeted.
"Isn't Mo Jiazi also the murderer of these hundred people's deaths?" Someone in the crowd muttered secretly.
"Bullshit, Mo Jiazi did it for revenge. The methods he used were only targeted at Lu Dongzan. These hundred people voluntarily sacrificed themselves for Lu Dongzan. What does it have to do with Mo Jiazi? Not to mention, Mo Jiazi has already ordered Mo Hospital to do their best to save them. Doctor Sun and Doctor Mo Wu are both present. With this, isn't it obvious who is better between Merton and Lu Dongzan?" A well-informed citizen of Chang 'an City angrily rebuked.
Everyone fell silent. Lu Dongzan did not hesitate to sacrifice a hundred envoys for his own survival. On the other hand, Mo Jiazi was faced with a hundred Tubo envoys who were about to die. Even though they were enemies, he still ordered them to do their best to save them. It had to be said that whether it was in terms of intelligence or character, Mo Jiazi was much better than Lu Dongzan.
