Chapter 610 Drunk on the battlefield Lord Grim
Beitangfeng sneered: "You'd better have a way to prove that the clear air you said rose and the turbid air fell. I don't understand."
Qi Ning calmly said, "You have limited knowledge, and I don't blame you. To solve your doubts, it's very simple. Just find two big trees, cut them down, and dig them into the same thickness, so that you can make a mark, which one is the root and which one is the tip, and then put the wood in. If this is still the case, it should prove that I am not a mystery."
Linghu Xu finally said: "The Second Prince, the method of Jinyi Hou is indeed very clever and should have given the answer."
"Prince, I think it's better to verify it." Beitang Feng thought that if I lose, I would sing and dance in public, which would be extremely embarrassing. Naturally, I didn't want to give up so easily.
Linghu Xu smiled slightly and ordered someone to cut down the tree immediately. Linghu Xu then let everyone sit back, and cutting down the tree is naturally not something that can be done in a short time. Linghu Xu smiled and said, "Everyone, the emperor recently gave me a jar of wine, which is said to be extremely rare. But when foreign countries come to pay tribute, it is rare that the envoys of Chu and Han countries will come. The emperor wants to take out the wine given to everyone to drink."
Some people think that both the Northern Han and Southern Chu countries have broad territory and abundant resources, and many rare things. If you talk about fine wine, whether it is the Han Kingdom in the north or the Chu Kingdom in the south, the winemaking process is not weak. What rare fine wine can Linghu Xu take out?
Soon, a servant came in with a large jar, and a maid came in to buy a new wine cup for everyone. Linghu Xu made a gesture. The servant walked to Prince Yu and poured wine into Prince Yu's cup first. The second one was Qi Ning, and then poured wine among everyone present in turn.
Everyone took the cup and looked at it carefully. Qi Ning also took a look and saw that the wine in the cup was red in color. After getting closer and smelled it, he knew it was wine.
The wine is very familiar with Qining, but at this moment, he suddenly realized that it was the first time he had seen wine after coming to this world. Although the Jinyi Marquis Mansion was not luxurious, it was one of the few noble families in the Chu State. Even in the Jinyi Marquis Mansion, Qining had never seen wine.
He glanced at the people present, and even Prince Yu showed surprise on his face. He immediately realized that the wine was not spreading in the Central Plains at this time, and the people present were all dressed in luxury, but they looked surprised when they saw the wine, and they obviously had never seen it.
Wine is an imported product, which shows that Linghu Xu's claim that this wine is extremely rare, but there is no exaggeration. It is not circulated in the Central Plains. Things that people have never seen before are of course rare things in the Western Han Dynasty.
Linghu Xu raised his hand and smiled, "Prince, try it and see how it tastes?"
Prince Yu took the cup and savored it, and smiled and said, "It seems to have the taste of honey. It's not like wine, but drinks."
Qi Ning thought that he had never seen grapes in the Marquis' fruits and melons. In this regard, even grapes were not introduced at this time. If so, it would be no wonder that Prince Yu could not taste this made of grapes.
"Minister of Jinyi, what do you think?" Qi Ning was thinking about it. When he heard Linghu Xu's inquiry, he replied casually: "This wine is also considered top-notch, it is well sealed, and it has been a few years."
Everyone was confused, and Ling Hu Xu was also surprised: "Minyi Hou knows grapes?"
Qi Ning could only say: "I heard that, but I don't understand very much."
Linghu Xu exclaimed: "It's not easy to be able to taste wine at once when the brocade is in a hurry."
Someone asked next to him: "Suang Ye, what is this grape? Where does this wine come from?"
Linghu Xu looked at Qi Ning and asked with a smile: "Do you know the source of the wine when Jinyi Hou?"
Qi Ning thought for a while and said, "I'll just take the initiative to talk nonsense. If you say it wrong, don't laugh at me." After a pause, he said, "If I'm not wrong, wine should have originated in the Persian area. Because of commerce and war, the wine brewing method spreads outward. It was first spread in Asia Minor and then to Europe. The real development of wine is in Europe!" Suddenly, everyone was staring at themselves, realizing that everyone here knew that Persia and Europe were afraid there were not, so they could only laugh: "There are many varieties of grapes. Because of the different cultivation and brewing techniques, the styles of wine are also very different. Yes, grapes are a kind of fruit."
Prince Yu was obviously very interested and asked, "Jinyihou, what's going on in Asia Minor and Europe you mentioned?"
Qi Ning said: "I just heard people say that the world is big, we are just a part of the world. There are many countries in the world, and their appearance, customs and humanities are very different from us."
"It's ridiculous," Beitang Feng said immediately: "The Asia Minor and the continent you mentioned are all fabricated, and there has never been any mention in it."
"No mentioning it does not mean it does not exist." Qi Ning said lightly: "I dare to ask, do you know which mountain is the highest in the world? Which is the largest sea? We have not walked out and have not seen things that we have not seen but existed, so naturally they will not appear in it." He picked up the wine cup and said: "Just like this wine, you seem to have never seen it before. If the Prime Minister did not take it out today, does it mean that it does not exist?"
Linghu Xu had already clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Miaoji, Miaoji, Jinyihou's words are really deafening and extraordinary insight."
Qi Ning smiled and said, "The Prime Minister is too famous. I just heard from people and think it makes sense."
"It's just hearing." Beitangfeng snorted coldly, but at this time he knew that his knowledge was probably not as good as Qi Ning, and he didn't dare to say more.
Linghu Xu had already asked with a smile: "Minyi Hou, have you tasted wine before?"
Qi Ning thought to myself, I haven’t tasted any wine I have ever tasted? But she smiled and said, “I tasted it by chance.”
"Oh?" Linghu Xu's eyebrows slightly spread: "As you said, this wine is an imported product. Could it be that your country has had contact with the Gentiles?"
Qi Ning said, "Prince, if I was right, this wine should have come from overseas. In fact, since the Gentiles can get your country from the East China Sea, they naturally have a way to enter our Chu State from the South China Sea." He sipped the wine with a sip of the wine and chanted: "Grape wine is luminous, and if you want to drink the pipa, you should immediately urge it. Don't laugh at me if you lie drunk on the battlefield. How many people have returned from wars in ancient times?"
His tone was quite emotional. Everyone looked at each other, and many people even looked surprised.
In this poem, wine is directly incorporated into it, and the Hou Yi of Jin seemed to write a poem on the spot. This poem is profound and full of iron-blooded heroic spirit, which is amazing.
After a silence, Linghu Xu sighed and said, "I heard that at the Chu State Beijing Society, the golden clothes and waiting skills were shocked. I still had doubts in my original appearance. Now it seems that it deserves its name. What a saying, "Don't laugh at me if you lie drunk on the battlefield. How many people have returned from the battle since ancient times, good poems and great courage!"
Qi Ning waved his hand and smiled, "It's easy to make you laugh. Prime Minister, the most suitable wine glass for drinking this kind of wine is the luminous cup. When you put the wine into the luminous cup, the red wine is like blood, and the color of the wine is like blood. When you drink the wine in your mouth, it's like drinking the blood of your enemies. Isn't that happy?"
As soon as he said this, many people changed their color slightly, thinking that Chu and the Northern Han were mortal enemies. Wouldn't this be directed at the Northern Han? However, these words were full of domineering and domineering. Many people also secretly admired them, thinking that the Marquis of the Brocade is not only brilliant, but also has a sharp mind and courageous mind. He is really a young hero.
Linghu Xu clapped his hands without saying a word, "Come on, change to the luminous cup!"
Although the luminous cup is expensive, it is not a rare thing for the dignified prime minister of the Eastern Qi Dynasty. A servant brought up more than ten luminous cups and replaced all the wine cups with luminous cups. Now it is dark at night, and the lights are filled with colorful lights. The wine is indeed bright in color and different momentum.
At this moment, he heard a sound from outside, and then he saw two people coming in one after another, holding two woods. Linghu Xu smiled faintly and had already stood up. Everyone also stood up. Linghu Xu made a gesture. The two woods were immediately thrown into the water tank. Everyone surrounded the water tank. As the two woods stabilized, one of them sank slightly under the water surface. Linghu Xu asked, "Is there a mark already marked?"
The servant immediately said, "Report to the Prime Minister, you have already made a mark." He approached, looked carefully, and replied, "Prince, all the slightest deeper into the water is a part of the tree roots, both of which are like this."
When everyone heard this, the doubts that had existed before suddenly disappeared, thinking that the method of the little Marquis of Jinyi was really very clever. Since the three consecutive woods were like this, there was no need to doubt its authenticity anymore.
Linghu Xu waved his hand and signaled his servant to move the big jar down, pick up the luminous cup, and didn't speak. Everyone present didn't speak at this moment, but their minds were the same. He thought that Qi Ning and Beitang Feng had a word first, and now that Qi Ning's method has been verified, the bet between Qi Ning and Beitang Feng had already been separated.
Qi Ning was also calm and calm, holding a glass to drink, Prince Yu was as calm as usual, only Beitangfeng looked ugly, and there was a dead silence in the flower hall. Of course, he understood why. Everyone here was obviously waiting for him to fulfill his promise, but he was a prince of the Northern Han Dynasty, so he really wanted to sing or dance for everyone in front of everyone.
He couldn't help but look at Prince Yu, but Prince Yu was as if nothing had happened and didn't even look at him.
Qi Ning didn't say anything, but heard a voice faintly saying: "A person cannot stand without trust, a promise is a real hero, and a shameless villain naturally cannot keep his promise."
