Ning Que looked at Gu Mingzhi.

Knowing they have ulterior motives.

By playing drinking games, he earned another ten thousand taels of silver.

As the saying goes, one doesn't know the cost of food and clothing until he manages the household. He was qualified to establish a government and three guards, but he had to pay for it himself. The three guards had at least 10,000 people, and the Ning Wang Mansion had 30,000 people at its peak!

They are professional soldiers.

The annual military expenditure is an astronomical figure.

There are also armored soldiers and horses, the expenses are even more terrifying!

So you still have to find opportunities to make money!

"What does Lord Gu mean?"

"This wine is fine, and I like it very much. There are some misunderstandings between the prince and me, and today I want to resolve them through a drinking contest. Yuan'er can drink quite well, so I'd like to have a drinking contest with the prince. I wonder if the prince is willing?"

Drinking contest?

Emperor Feng frowned.

Finally, he nodded towards Ning Que.

He had seen Ning Que's drinking capacity. He drank the strong liquor consumed in the palace like water. The white wine he had brewed before was like poison. He would feel dizzy after just two cups, but Ning Que could drink several buckets in a row.

However, Gu Mingzhi was right. As the saying goes, it's better to resolve a feud than to create one, especially since they were all in Chang'an, seeing each other all the time. If the Gu family could reconcile with Ning Que and help them deal with the King of Qi, that would definitely be better.

But is it really that easy?

Ning Que narrowed his eyes slightly.

Feeling the emperor's gaze.

"Master Gu is joking."

"I have no grudges against you and me."

"Since we're going to have a drinking contest, let's add some prizes."

"If General Gu wins, I will give him five thousand taels."

"If this king wins, so will General Gu."

"good!"

Gu Yuan slammed the table and stood up.

His eyes were blazing and full of fighting spirit.

He was careless when playing drinking games just now.

He didn't expect Ning Que to be so cruel.

He could easily answer all the questions from officials.

If you want him to drink, you have to have a drinking contest.

It just so happens that what he is best at is drinking.

He was a natural born warrior and had been practicing martial arts since childhood.

I like drinking very much.

After a victory in the Western Frontier, they would celebrate with wine. To show their magnanimity, they would often drink directly from a wine jar. Gu Yuan was a very good drinker, and he could easily drink two or three jars.

Gu Mingzhi poured the wine himself.

He poured more than ten cups in a row.

Ning Que and Gu Yuan looked at each other across the wooden table.

"Your Majesty, please."

"please."

Gu Yuan picked up the wine bottle and drank it all in one gulp. He stared at Ning Que intently. This first cup was the wine he had put the laxative in. According to Lin Xianhong, it would take at most half an incense stick of time for the effect to take effect.

Ning Que was neither hurried nor anxious.

He smelled the aroma of wine and looked at Gu Yuan.

Seeing him so nervous, I couldn't help but smile.

There's drug in this glass of wine.

Although the smell was faint, it couldn't escape his nose. Back when he was on Kunlun Mountain, there was a senior brother who loved to research all kinds of strange poisons. At that time, the master said that it was fortunate that the senior brother was a kind-hearted person. If he were a bad person, the people of the world would suffer.

At this moment, Gu Yuan picked up the wine bottle again. Ning Que quickly raised his hand to press it down and added some ingredients into it.

"What does your Highness mean?"

"I haven't finished this cup yet."

"Since it's a drinking contest, let's see who drinks the most." Gu Yuan frowned and said calmly, "We're not competing in speed. It's fine for Your Highness to drink slowly."

"Haha, that's right."

Ning Que picked up the wine glass again and removed the poison from it. If he could harm him with such a mediocre method, it would be a disgrace to his sect!

Seeing him drink it all in one gulp, Gu Yuan immediately laughed. He had plenty of money, and he mainly wanted to make Ning Que look bad in public, as a way of revenge.

"Come!"

Gu Yuan didn't think much about it and raised the wine bottle to drink it again.

Seeing this scene, Ning Que also smiled.

The two of them officially started drinking.

You drink a glass, I drink a glass, neither of us gives in.

"That's more than a dozen cups, right?"

“He drinks a lot!”

"Your Highness can drink so much?"

"General Gu is famous in the Western Frontier for his ability to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. I never thought the prince would be even better than him!"

Jiang Quan stroked his beard and smiled without saying a word.

Ning Que is also a heavy drinker.

But every time I drink, I only drink a little.

But when it comes to drinking, he is not afraid.

"Drinking alone is no fun."

"I will add another five thousand taels of silver as a prize."

"You two should write poems on the subject of wine."

"Just make it before you finish drinking it."

"Which is better, you will judge."

At this time, Emperor Feng raised his hand to increase the bet.

Gu Yuan was feeling a bit dizzy at the moment, and could only barely stand. This was mainly because the yellow wine was very strong, and he could only barely hold on. Whenever he thought about something, his head would swell.

"Then I will go first."

Ning Que held a glass wine jar.

Stand back, I'm going to start showing off!

There are actually many poems with wine as the theme.

But when it comes to momentum and literary talent, Li Bai is the best!

What he did in "Drinking Wine" is worthy of his reputation as the Immortal Poet.

For Ning Que, being a plagiarist is not difficult.

"Have you not seen the Yellow River's waters come from the sky, rushing to the sea and never returning? Have you not seen the white hair in the mirror in the hall, which was black in the morning and turned to snow in the evening?"

"good!"

Ning Que just started and immediately caused an uproar.

Just these two sentences are enough to show his talent!

It is not bound by format, but it is magnificent.

Yu Ji was also very excited.

He got some benefit this time.

As the Grand Tutor of Dafeng, he was quite knowledgeable. Not only did he have a high level of attainment in calligraphy and painting, but he also enjoyed studying poetry and songs in his spare time.
