The central square of Yasha City was extremely lively. Almost everyone in the city gathered here to hold a banquet and carnival for the great hero Xu Leixu who saved Yasha City.
Although Xu Lei was not bad at drinking, he could not stand up to these Yasha people who were so enthusiastic that they were about to burn up. He drank bowl after bowl. After a while, he was defeated. He used the excuse to go to the latrine to hide aside and vomited.
stand up.
"The great hero vomited!" Someone who happened to come here suddenly yelled when he saw Xu Lei's appearance.
"The great hero vomited!"
"The great hero vomited!"
So under Xu Lei's astonished expression, a large group of people gathered around him, carrying water, handing towels, and seven or eight hands on his quilt to pat his back.
"Hero, are you feeling better?" One person looked at Xu Lei nervously.
"Uh... I'm fine!" Xu Lei said quickly.
"Hero is fine!" When the man saw what Xu Lei said, he quickly turned around and shouted loudly, and everyone onlookers breathed a sigh of relief as if they had received an amnesty.
"I'm just telling you, why can't a great hero even drink this little wine? Hahaha, I knew everything would be fine..."
"Haha, that is, that is..." Xu Lei echoed with an embarrassed smile.
"Let's go on and drink. Tonight has just begun. Tonight, each of our 30,000 Yasha people must drink three bowls with you to express our care and gratitude to you!"
"ah!"
"Is there any problem with the setup? Great hero?"
"No...no..."
"Haha, then keep drinking, everyone line up and come one by one, the big hero is about to start drinking!"
"..."
If he had a choice, Xu Lei would definitely choose to break into an army of hundreds of thousands of people alone at this time, rather than face 30,000 people holding big bowls waiting to toast him.
Xu Lei really couldn't drink anymore, let alone 30,000 bowls. Now he felt like his stomach was about to burst after drinking dozens of bowls. There are people who get drunk after drinking, but I'm afraid he is the only one in the world who drinks until his stomach is swollen.
He is the only hero of Xu.
Ling Qingyi had a faint smile on her face, as if she was gloating at this guy who wanted to save face and suffer. I am afraid that all men in the world have this problem. Even this guy who made her eyes light up when she first met cannot do it in his bones.
It's okay to take this opportunity to teach him a lesson. It's a trivial matter to get bloated after drinking. There are many heroes who have lost their lives in vain because of this problem.
It wasn't until she saw that this guy's belly was so bulging that it seemed to have reached its limit, then she slowly approached him, stretched out a jade arm like a snow lotus root, and snatched the bowl he was about to forcefully swallow into his mouth through gritted teeth.
"Everyone, listen to me. My friends and I like this place very much, like this city, and like the people here. We will definitely drink and talk with you tonight until we get drunk!" she said, looking at her eyes calmly.
The guy next to her has a round belly and a wrong look on her face.
The astonished guy smiled softly and continued: "But tonight is still very long. If our hero Xu gets drunk early and falls unconscious, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the scenery? This bowl, on behalf of Hero Xu, I will
I respect you all, so I’ll do it first out of respect!”
She boldly raised a water sleeve to cover it lightly, then raised her head and drank it all in one gulp, which made Xu Lei beside him fascinated.
They all drink the same thing, so why can the way they drink can be so exquisite that it is as pleasing to the eye as a piece of exquisite art?
Everyone was slightly stunned. Seeing such a heroic woman, naturally not a drop of wine was left in their hands.
"Isn't this great? Why do you have to sacrifice your own body to earn a vain and useless face?" Ling Qingyi turned her head, leaned close to Xu Lei's ear, and said softly.
Xu Lei felt a warmth in his ears. It was the first time he was so close to her. He seemed to be able to feel her hair gently sliding across his cheek. The alcohol in his body was already restless. He suddenly wanted to reach out and grab it.
She held him in her arms.
After brewing for a while, and mustering up a lot of courage, Xu Lei decided to fight for an outcome that was acceptable even if he was immediately killed by a thousand cuts! He was not even afraid of death, but why was he afraid of hugging her?
Xu Lei suddenly raised his head, and what he saw was her ancient face, and her eyes that were as firm as a thousand-year-old rock. They looked at each other for more than a second, and then they were defeated.
Her eyes seemed to be able to pierce through his internal organs anytime and anywhere. Being looked at by her eyes like this, Xu Lei always felt guilty, as uneasy as a child who had gotten into a big trouble.
"I'm going to the toilet..." Xu Lei sighed, thinking to himself that even if he immediately cut him into pieces a hundred times, he wouldn't dare to have any messy thoughts about the woman in front of him who was so smart that he didn't know how to describe it.
After vomiting for half an hour, Xu Lei's stomach, as bloated as a toad after drinking enough water, returned to its original shape. After taking a few hangover pills that Ling Qingyi had prepared for him in advance, he felt mostly better.
.
The rest of the time was spent drinking and tasting. This was all due to Ling Qingyi. Although she only occasionally said a few words and drank some wine from time to time, she always hit the key points accurately and helped Xu Lei time and time again.
He held back enough wine to make his stomach bulge again, and he did so in a generous and polite manner, without embarrassing Xu Lei in the slightest.
"When will City Lord Huo Jin come back?" Xu Lei took a moment to breathe and sat at the small table chatting with the commander.
"It should be the past two days. City Lord Hawking always goes out to travel every once in a while. What, you want to see him?" Every time the commander talks about Hawking, a kind of respect from the bottom of his heart can't help but show on his face.
and pride.
"Yeah." Xu Lei said casually, "I just came to see him this time. I have something I want him to help me with."
"Do you know Lord Hawking?" the commander suddenly said excitedly.
Xu Lei did not expect the commander to have such a big reaction. He nodded in surprise and said, "I met him two years ago. He said that he would come to Yasha City to find him if anything happens in the future."
"Are you telling the truth?" The commander sat up straight. Only the people in Yasha City would know that their Lord Huo Jin rarely promised anything to others, but as long as he promised, he would do it no matter what.
I know the power contained in his words to come to Yasha City to find him if something happens, even if it costs tens of millions of dollars, it is not as precious as the seemingly casual words of Lord Huo Jin.
Xu Lei looked at the commander's exaggerated expression, and with some doubts, he shook the small jade medal that Huo Jin had given him from the fighting spirit ring in his palm, and handed it to the commander, "Oh, by the way, he
At that time, he told me to take this thing out to find him in Yasha City."
The commander was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a while. After a while, he doubted his belief and carefully took the small jade token from Xu Lei's hand and observed it carefully for a moment. Then he suddenly trembled as if he had been electrocuted and removed the small jade token in his hand.
He raised it high and shouted at the top of his voice to the people who were singing, dancing and reveling: "He has the token of Lord Hawking. Our great hero actually has the token of Lord Hawking!"
In an instant, tens of thousands of people in the huge central square fell silent at the same time, leaving only the crackling sound of the burning bonfire.
"Distinguished guests, please accept all the people of Yasha City to pay their respects!" The commander's face suddenly became serious, he took two steps back, and bowed respectfully to Xu Lei.
"Please accept our bows!" Tens of thousands of people in the huge square bowed to Xu Lei at the same time.
This was the second time that the residents of Yasha City saluted Xu Lei collectively. The first time was after Xu Lei defeated the enemy, but this time Xu Lei was so surprised that he could not speak.
Because he suddenly discovered that the expressions of tens of thousands of people were almost exactly the same at this time, showing respect and respect from the heart, without any artificiality. If the collective salute to him during the day was out of gratitude, then
This gift is absolute respect!
It's just a small jade token, so who is Huo Jin? Even if ordinary people kneel down when they see the token of the emperor of their own country, it is mostly out of fear and instinct, but Xu Lei can see that these people are coming from the bottom of their hearts.
Inner sincerity.
Meeting an order is like meeting a person. Since City Lord Huojin can hand over his token to a person, it means that he is the friend of the City Lord and naturally the most distinguished guest in the entire Yasha City.
Ling Qingyi on the side gently pulled Xu Lei's kick without moving her expression. Only then did Xu Lei react, quickly returned the courtesy, and motioned for everyone to get up.
"From now on, you are the most distinguished guest of Yasha City. Everyone here will obey your command. No matter what kind of request you make, except for blaspheming the city lord, we will do our best to satisfy you." Commander.
Said respectfully.
Xu Lei couldn't stand the attitude of the other party, so he quickly laughed and said: "What are you doing? You are all so cautious and do whatever you want. Haha, you are making me don't know what to do.
"
Seeing that everyone still didn't respond, Xu Lei continued to smile and said: "Isn't there no distinction between superiority and inferiority here? City Lord Huojin and I just met each other, haha."
"Everyone in our Yasha City is equal and there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority. However, except for the City Lord Huo Jin, you can hold the City Lord's token and give orders as you would a person. Distinguished guest, if you need anything, please feel free to give me your orders."
The commander's attitude was very firm. It seemed that they respected Hawking to the core.
"Uh..." Xu Lei really didn't know what to do at this time. He quickly glanced at Ling Qingyi for help. Ling Qingyi just nodded lightly. Xu Lei immediately understood and said to the commander:
"Okay, then I want everyone to continue the carnival now, eat big chunks of meat and drink in big bowls, and I'll give you another bowl!"
The central square was boiling again. If they had a drink with a great hero who saved Yasha City before, this time they were drinking and chatting with the most distinguished guest of Lord Hawking. For them, this honor is more important than life.
