Arrive in front of the pavilion.
Emperor Kangxi stepped on the brake and brought the vehicle to a steady stop.
Li Huan praised, "Your Majesty's driving skills are very proficient; you're clearly an experienced driver!"
"An experienced driver?" Kangxi asked curiously, "What do you mean?"
Li Huan patiently explained: "A driver is someone who drives a car! An experienced driver refers to a skilled driver!"
Kangxi understood and chuckled: "My driving skills still need improvement. If I didn't send you to escort Jianning to Yunnan, I would really like to drive your tricycle around the palace every day!"
Li Huan said, "When I go to foreign lands, I will definitely buy Your Majesty an electric tricycle!"
Emperor Kangxi got out of the carriage and entered the pavilion.
Wu Yingxiong quickly dismounted and entered the pavilion.
Li Huan instructed Wei Xiaobao to take out several boxed meals and three bottles of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) from the carriage.
Kangxi's eyes lit up: "What is this?"
Li Huan explained, "This is a type of baijiu (Chinese liquor) produced overseas, called Erguotou! Although it's spicy on the palate, it has a mellow aftertaste and is quite potent!"
Emperor Kangxi laughed and said, "Good, I want to try the Erguotou from overseas foreign lands!"
Li Huan quickly unscrewed three bottles of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor).
Wu Yingxiong hurriedly picked up the wine bottle, respectfully poured wine for Kangxi, and then poured himself a full cup.
Emperor Kangxi said, "Even after a thousand miles of escorting you, we must eventually part ways. I will see you off here, Minister Wu. I wish you a safe journey!"
Wu Yingxiong raised his wine cup and toasted Emperor Kangxi.
Li Huan quickly said, "Wait a minute!"
Wu Yingxiong asked, "Lord Li, what advice do you have for me?"
Li Huan said, "I heard that the young prince has a huge capacity for alcohol! Why are you using such a tiny cup to toast the emperor?"
Wu Yingxiong smiled slightly and ordered, "Change to a larger cup!"
Li Huan said, "Don't bother changing it, just drink from the bottle!"
"Alright!" Wu Yingxiong put down his wine glass, picked up the whole bottle of Erguotou, and drank it down in one gulp!
"Cough cough cough..."
Wu Yingxiong's throat stung from the spiciness of the liquor, and he coughed violently.
"Hahaha..." Wei Xiaobao stood outside the pavilion and laughed loudly.
Long'er glanced at Wei Xiaobao with displeasure: "Steward Wei, what are you laughing at?"
Wei Xiaobao said, "I'm laughing at how poor the young prince's alcohol tolerance is. He couldn't even finish one sip."
Wu Yingxiong hurriedly explained, "This wine is indeed too strong. Taking it in so quickly is really too much to handle... cough cough cough..."
Wei Xiaobao said, "To be honest, Your Highness, I can drink two bottles of Lord Li's Erguotou in a row!"
Li Huan knew that Wei Xiaobao was bragging.
Given his alcohol tolerance, one bottle of Erguotou would leave him completely drunk.
Long'er said, "Steward Wei, why aren't you in the Imperial Kitchen? What are you doing following Lord Li?"
Wei Xiaobao said, "Brother Mengjiang, don't you know? I am also ordered by the Emperor to protect Princess Jianning!"
Emperor Kangxi smiled and said, "I hereby order Wei Xiaobao to assist Li Huan in escorting Princess Jianning to the Prince of Pingxi's residence in Yunnan."
A hint of wariness flashed in Long'er's eyes.
Wei Xiaobao leaned close to Long'er and said, "Brother Mengjiang, I am also a half-imperial envoy, so I hope you will show me more respect."
"Hmph!" Long'er sneered.
In the pavilion, Wu Yingxiong frowned and took a few big gulps of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor).
He forced himself to endure the spiciness, and several veins bulged on his forehead.
Emperor Kangxi praised, "Minister Wu, you certainly have a good capacity for alcohol!"
After saying that, Kangxi also reached out and picked up the wine bottle, taking a sip of Erguotou.
Wow! It's really spicy!
Emperor Kangxi grinned and inhaled sharply.
"Eat vegetables! Eat vegetables!" Li Huan called out.
Emperor Kangxi picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a piece of "cold spinach salad," and quickly ate a few bites.
Wu Yingxiong ate a few fried peanuts, which relieved the spiciness and boosted his confidence.
"Your Majesty! Your humble servant salutes you!"
Wu Yingxiong struck a bold pose and took a few more big gulps of Erguotou!
thump thump thump...
Half a bottle of Erguotou was downed.
My stomach felt like it was on fire.
Wu Yingxiong's forehead was sweating and his face was flushed.
Emperor Kangxi, reeking of alcohol, instructed, "Minister Wu, you must treat Jianning well..."
Before he could finish speaking, a gray figure darted across the opposite mountain!
"You dog emperor! Prepare to die!"
The gray figure flew towards the pavilion like an arrow released from a bow!
Li Huan stared intently at it!
The gray-clad figure, wielding a long sword and dressed in nun's robes, was none other than Ake and Anan's master—the One-Armed Divine Nun!
"Assassins! Protect the Emperor! Protect the Emperor!"
Duolong drew his sword and shouted, standing in front of the pavilion.
Seeing this, Long'er leaped up to intercept the one-armed nun and engaged her in battle.
Immediately afterwards, two more figures flew in.
Ake and Anan.
"You dog emperor!" Ake attacked from behind the pavilion, raising her sword to stab Kangxi!
Li Huan shouted, "Your Majesty, be careful!"
He grabbed Kangxi by the collar and pulled him to the right, dodging Ake's longsword!
Unexpectedly, Anan's longsword also swiftly pierced towards Kangxi!
Li Huan quickly shielded Kangxi, using his own chest to receive A Nan's longsword!
At the critical moment, A Nan flicked his wrist, and the longsword slashed across Li Huan's shoulder.
Clearly, Anan was afraid of accidentally stabbing Li Huan, so he changed the direction of his attack.
"Protect the Emperor! Protect the Emperor!"
Duolong brandished his steel sword wildly, appearing brave, but he dared not approach Ake and Anan!
Li Huan pulled Kangxi out of the pavilion and ran to Princess Jianning's carriage.
"Your Majesty, please get in the carriage!"
Li Huan pushed Kangxi onto the carriage!
Emperor Kangxi called out, "You come up here too!"
Li Huan said, "I will protect the Emperor from outside!"
"Protect the Emperor! Protect the Emperor!"
Duolong led his guards to surround the carriage, blocking it completely.
