Although I wasn't invited back by my little apprentice, the emperor, I was eventually captured and taken back by his good son.
It's truly embarrassing that I've gotten myself into a romantic entanglement.
The reason for this can be traced back to the fact that the capital city chosen by my little apprentice is the most prosperous city in the south.
Tired of life in the North, I'd like to visit the misty, rainy Jiangnan region.
Most importantly, being next to the emperor meant having food to eat.
"Ranmo, how about we go wander the South and roam the world?"
"The world is a dangerous place. Aren't you afraid of being eaten by all sorts of demons and monsters?"
I said disdainfully, "What? Scared?"
"I'm afraid that if you encounter danger, you'll come crying to me, beating your chest and stamping your feet." Ranmo feigned innocence in his tone.
But I retorted: "You eat my food, drink my water, and I don't rely on you when it matters. What's the point of supporting you?"
Ranmo, on the other hand, is used to my relentless style.
He had no choice but to compromise, saying, "Alright, alright, alright, what you say is right, wonderfully said. The sky's the limit, and whatever you want to do or go, I, Ranmo, should accompany you to the very end, even at the cost of my life..."
I carried the inkstone with unhurried pace, stopping and starting along the way, using the sky as my canopy and the earth as my mat, enjoying the scenery of various places along the way.
Drink when you're thirsty, drink when you're sleepy.
Along the way, I encountered many bandit dens that wanted to rob and plunder me, but whenever I came across these easy targets, my eyes would light up, because they were the money strings for my drinks.
However, ever since my apprentice Zhu Xiaoba became emperor, I still have to praise him.
He governed the world in an orderly manner, and the people lived in peace and contentment.
Along the way, the government also eliminated many bandit strongholds.
This caused the bandits on the outskirts to hide in the mountains, afraid to come out and commit crimes.
I'm almost out of money for alcohol.
It forced me to go to the bandits' den myself.
Along the way, they even made a special inquiry about a powerful and daring bandit stronghold.
I heard that the bandits even dared to rob government silver; they must be rolling in money.
In the dead of night, Ranmo and I hid behind a rock not far from the bandits' den, observing the bandits who were having a great time, with their bonfires blazing and them drinking and playing drinking games day and night.
"Ranmo, should we just charge in and catch them off guard this time, or would it be more stimulating to use this sleeping incense?"
These methods were actually the experience passed down by Ranmo, and over time, they became our tacit mantra before each action.
"Dare to play something even more exciting with them?" He sniffed with a look of pure enjoyment.
"Their wine smells delicious..."
I exchanged a glance with Ranmo's dark face, and we both grinned wickedly.
So Ranmo and I split up and went our separate ways.
I swaggered over to the bustling bandit den where people were playing drinking games and making fistfights.
Ranmo sneaked into their inner courtyard to check how much stuff these bandits had.
I stood with my hands behind my back in front of them, smiling broadly at the group of petty bandits who were drinking to their hearts' content, and said, "Hey! Drinking, huh! Buy me a drink, please!"
As soon as I spoke, the bandits who were drinking to their hearts' content suddenly stopped and all looked at me.
The burly bandit leader, with a face full of scars and a stubble, stroked his beard and looked at me with a lewd grin: "Where did this pretty young lady come from, daring to come to my bandit mountain alone to ask for a drink?"
"How about we make a bet? If you lose, all your possessions are mine!" I said with great interest, sitting down in an empty seat in the crowd without any hesitation.
"Hahahaha! This young lady has quite the nerve! What will you do if you lose?" These bandits looked me up and down with lustful eyes as they burst into laughter.
"Do whatever you want with me." I smiled wickedly.
Are you kidding me? How could I possibly lose?
"Good! Great! Bring the wine!" The bandit leader generously ordered a jar of fermented rice wine to be brought out.
I could smell the fine wine from a distance, which made my stomach rumble.
At that moment, Ranmo floated back from the backyard and drifted into my heart.
"What great wine! Ranmo, we've really struck it rich today, we can drink to our hearts' content." I whispered to him.
"I just took a stroll around too. They have a lot of assets, a treasure trove that could rival a country's wealth!" Ranmo reported their financial situation to me in a very serious manner.
"very good!"
"Come on, come on... let's drink..."
"A dragon, two brothers, three horses, four joys, five champions, six six six..."
The shouts of me and this group of people drinking echoed throughout the entire mountain valley.
I drank with these bandits and completely lost myself in the moment.
But this bandit leader was clever; he was completely unfazed by the fact that I was a woman who had suddenly appeared alone.
But I was still somewhat wary.
So he remained sober and had his men come down to play drinking games with me.
As a result, I took down his men one by one.
The ground beneath my feet was piled high with the silver coins I had won.
"What? Big brother! I've knocked all your men out! You bunch of grown men can't even hold your liquor as well as a little woman like me? Are you not drinking because you're afraid I'll take advantage of you?" I said awkwardly.
The bandit leader, his face flushed, kicked away my subordinate who had been slumped on the table after I'd drunk him: "Useless thing! Get out of here!"
After my provocation wounded the bandit leader's pride, he plopped down opposite me.
He set down the wine bowl and grabbed the wine jar.
"Splash, splash!" After filling a large bowl with wine, he picked up the bowl, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.
I thought he was very capable.
As a result, after finishing one bowl...
With a "thud," his body fell straight backward to the ground.
Somewhat surprised, I spread my hands and sneered at Ranmo, "That's it?"
I got all the bandits in the entire bandit den drunk and passed out.
Oh, no, Ranmo also deserves credit. While I was drinking, he helped me share the load.
Actually, I alone could drink this group of people under the table, let alone me and Ranmo, two drunkards, compared to this group.
"Not bad, your alcohol tolerance has improved." Ranmo floated out of my heart and raised her hand to praise me.
"Same to you!"
"Burp..." After letting out a burp, I grabbed a sack and excitedly stuffed all the silver coins at my feet into it.
The clinking of the coins drew me in so much that I didn't even notice that a group of soldiers in flying fish robes had surrounded the area.
Then a pair of clean black soap boots suddenly appeared before my eyes.
I looked up and saw a man dressed in a crimson flying fish robe, holding a gleaming longsword in his slender, fair hand.
She was tall and slender, with a narrow and muscular waist, broad shoulders and a wide chest, and stood straight in front of me.
face……
A man with a sharp jawline, thin lips, a high nose, and resolute, aloof gaze.
He does resemble someone, Wen Heng.
I was slightly stunned for a moment.
The next moment, he swung his longsword and placed it against my neck: "Come with us, young lady!"
