Chapter 208 Sleeping in a Tent
Shen Lue stared at the woman behind him.
She had long hair tied into a high ponytail and was wearing a blue dress, which gave her a neat look.
Oh my God, he actually saw Qi Chuyin!
It's even scarier than seeing a ghost in broad daylight.
He must have been dizzy and dazzled by the heat.
Shen Lue didn't hesitate, turned around and continued walking forward, walking faster and faster.
Suddenly someone patted my shoulder from behind.
Shen Lue's shoulder felt like it was burned. He shook it a few times and then shook his hand off his shoulder.
"Chen San, you're being too formal." Qi Chuyin looked at him, who looked like he was facing a great enemy. She withdrew her hand as if nothing had happened, raised her eyebrows and said, "We used to be brothers and slept in the same tent, but I never saw you act like this."
"How can that be the same? You don't want to be a good girl, but go to the North to be a man." When Shen Lue mentioned the stupid thing he had done, he wanted to punch himself to death. He said fiercely: "Don't mention this matter again. Let's pretend we don't know each other."
After saying this, Shen Lue jumped faster than a rabbit and disappeared in front of Qi Chuyin in an instant.
He went with his father to support the northern border. When he was on the mission, he happened to be assigned to the same team with Qi Chuyin, who was disguised as a man.
He had no food and was hungry and thirsty.
Qi Chuyin shared her dry food with him, and he was very moved. Seeing that she was short and thin, like a bamboo pole, and delicate like a woman, his desire to protect her was instantly aroused.
This brother, he has his back.
They were so close to each other, they were always on the same page, and when they went on missions together, they ate and lived together, almost becoming sworn brothers.
It wasn't until the victory that his comrades asked him at the celebration banquet, "Shen San, now that you're back in Beijing, your marriage to Xiao Qi should be finalized, right?"
Shen Lue sneered: "How can two grown men like us get married?"
His comrades were all confused: "Xiao Qi is a woman."
Shen Lue felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck his head.
How could his good brother be a woman?
His comrades realized something and said in shock, "How can Xiao Qi look like a man? Can't you see that?"
Shen Lue said in a daze: "I'm blind."
Only then did he know that Qi Chuyin was the granddaughter of General Qi.
Everyone in the military camp knew that because of her status and ability, no one made a fuss about her gender.
Only he, a fool, doesn't know.
This brother can't do it.
He took out a knife, cut off his robe, and threw it into Qi Chuyin's tent, showing his determination to break off all ties with her.
Who would have thought that this woman would return to the capital.
Chen Lue rubbed his face fiercely and decided to return to Liangzhou early.
At this moment, a figure blocked his way.
Shen Lue stared and saw that the person in front of him was not Qi Chuyin, but a man with red lips, white teeth and a handsome face. He was wearing a white long gown with wide sleeves and holding a folding fan in his hand, looking very elegant.
He had a pair of peach blossom eyes, which seemed to be filled with affection when he looked at people intently.
Shen Lue got goose bumps all over his body.
Pei Wuyan waved his fan and said, "Brother Shen, I met you as soon as I arrived in Beijing. This fate is truly wonderful."
Shen Lue couldn't help but think of Qi Chuyin and muttered, "Bad fate."
Pei Wuyan was stunned, his eyes flickering over Shen Lue's face. "You helped me a lot in Liangzhou, and I promised to treat you to a drink. An invitation is worse than an accidental encounter. I know a tavern somewhere. The drinks are stronger than what you drank in Liangzhou. Let's go and try it."
Shen Lue didn't want to go anywhere. Just as he was about to refuse, he heard Pei Wuyan say, "I'm staying at the Duke's Mansion while I'm in Beijing. If you want to treat me to a drink, please send a letter to the Duke's Mansion."
Shen Lue frowned: "You live in the Duke's Mansion?"
Pei Wuyan nodded.
Shen Lue thought about it and went to the pub as agreed.
The location of the pub is very secluded and the layout is very quiet and elegant.
Pei Wuyan took Chen Lue to the private room with ease and ordered someone to bring a few jars of strong liquor.
When Shen Lue smelled the aroma of wine, his appetite was aroused.
When he was in the northern border, he didn't drink a single drop of wine. He thought he could drink to his heart's content at the celebration banquet. But when he learned that Qi Chuyin was a girl, he only drank a jar of wine, which was just enough for him to rinse his mouth.
Pei Wuyan filled two glasses of wine and pushed one of them in front of Shen Lue. He was about to persuade him to drink when he saw Shen Lue frowning, gulping down the wine in the glass in one gulp, and calling for a larger bowl.
Pei Wuyan: "..."
Chen Lue held a jar of wine and took a deep sniff: "Fragrant."
After filling two bowls of wine, he placed one bowl in front of Pei Wuyan with a "clang" sound, while Gu Zixian took the other bowl and drank it in one gulp.
Pei Wuyan was silent for a moment: "Brother Shen, you have a good alcohol tolerance."
"I can't drink much." Shen Lue filled another bowl. "Not as much as my father." He said a little unconvincedly, "Compared to my two brothers, I'm only a little bit behind."
His thumb was pinching the tip of his little finger.
Pei Wuyan's eyes flickered slightly, holding the wine bowl: "A tiger father will have a dog son. Take advantage of this rare opportunity today to practice your drinking capacity."
"Brother Pei is right." Shen Lue drank it all in one gulp and wiped his mouth with his hand: "It's great."
Pei Wuyan paused while holding the bowl when he saw Shen Lue's heroic manner of drinking.
"Drink." Shen Lue urged, "I won't stop until I'm drunk today."
Pei Wuyan finished a bowl of wine and it was filled again.
After drinking two jars of wine, Pei Wuyan felt a little drunk. He supported his head with one hand and looked at Shen Lue with slightly squinted eyes. He saw that Shen Lue's eyes were clear and he didn't seem drunk at all. He even held the jar and poured the wine into his mouth.
Pei Wuyan's eyes darkened. He opened another jar of wine and filled it for Shen Lue: "Brother Shen, I have a few good friends in the tavern. They are waiting for me to go to the bar. I see that you are having a great time drinking. Why don't you invite them over to drink with you?"
Shen Lue's idea was simple: Pei Wuyan invited him to drink, so the rules should be set by him. He didn't care, as long as there was wine to satisfy his craving.
He said generously: "Okay, it's more fun with more people."
Pei Wuyan left the private room and found four people who could drink well, and took turns to get Shen Lue drunk.
Shen Lue accepted everyone who came, and even dragged Pei Wuyan along.
Pei Wuyan felt dizzy and his vision was blurry. He saw Chen Lue rolling up his sleeves and enthusiastically playing finger-guessing games with the other people, finishing bowl after bowl.
The people who were serving drinks fell down one after another.
Shen Lue put down his wine bowl, looked at the drunken people, and turned to look at Pei Wuyan who was in a drunken state.
He grinned, held a bowl of wine and handed it to Pei Wuyan's mouth.
"Brother Pei, have a drink."
Pei Wuyan really couldn't drink it anymore, and was about to refuse, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the wine was poured into his mouth.
He was forced to finish a bowl of wine, and then saw Shen Lue handing him another bowl.
"Come on, come on, Brother Pei has done it."
"Have another bowl."
"Done."
Pei Wuyan was almost vomiting after being forced to drink so much. He tried hard to open his eyes and fell limply onto the table.
The moment he lost consciousness, a thought popped into his mind: Is this called a poor alcohol tolerance?
Shen Lue pushed Pei Wuyan's arm: "Brother Pei, Brother Pei?"
Pei Wuyan was drunk and didn't react at all.
Shen Lu frowned and muttered, "Your alcohol tolerance is really terrible, even worse than mine."
The wine here is not as strong as the one in Liangzhou. I drank it all in a mess and got a little tipsy.
He had a great time drinking today and walked out of the private room in a good mood. He caught a glimpse of four or five people guarding the door.
These people were all stunned when they saw that Chen Lue was sober and not drunk at all.
Shen Lue frowned: "What do you do?"
These people saw that Shen Lue had a fierce look on his face, his arms were muscular and strong.
They didn't dare to confront him directly, so they said with a smile: "We are Master Pei's men."
Upon hearing this, Shen Lue's frown relaxed: "Your master is drunk, go in and serve him quickly."
Several people nodded quickly and pushed the door into the private room.
"Wait." Shen Lue stopped them and reminded them, "Remember to pay for the wine."
Several people looked at Shen Lue's leaving back with distorted expressions.
