While Pang Shishi was sobering up, Wang Sheng and others also had enough to eat and drink. It seemed that more than half an hour had passed, but Tuoba You didn't show any signs of worry.
During this period, Feng Jiuxiao asked him a lot about the local customs and customs. Firstly, he really wanted to know more about it, and secondly, he didn't want to make the other party bored waiting for too long.
The female guard didn't say a word from beginning to end, she only listened and watched.
When Pang Shiwu staggered over with the support of Lai Lai, Zhang Zilu, Wang Sheng, Duan Muyan, and Xiong Mengyan also came out, and everyone's face was flushed.
Although Pang Shiwu was still a little dizzy, he still knew how to settle the account.
When the boss saw them leaving, he quickly came over to see them off.
Feng Jiuxiao smiled at this time and said: "Boss, you have caused great harm to my brother!"
The boss knew that he was talking about Pang Shiwu getting drunk, so he smiled and said: "Young master, you can't blame me! I reminded the wine steward enough, but don't be greedy. This little brother is too honest when drinking. I thought
I'm not a strong drinker, but I drank so much and drank so quickly, I must have gotten drunk!"
Feng Jiuxiao thought to herself: How can a person express his joy after he suddenly succeeds in breaking through the realm? Of course he drinks!
"My talents will be useful, and I will come back after all the money I have spent. I enjoy cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle, and I will have to drink three hundred cups at a time!"
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said: "Why is your wine so strong? Is it mixed with Miaoduo Donkey?"
The boss was shocked!
He quickly raised his thumb and said, "I never thought you could taste this, sir?" He mixed at least three kinds of spirits into it, but because the sour taste of mare's milk was too strong, most people couldn't even tell that there was something in this mare's milk.
Another wine!
Feng Jiuxiao said: "I'm just guessing, I've never drunk anything to make a donkey choke."
Chili Pepper said: "Sir, what does it mean to stifle a donkey?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Mengtai Donkey is a kind of strong wine, one of the famous local wines."
Chili frowned and said: "Why is it so unpleasant? It feels like swearing?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "How does it sound like swearing?"
Chili said: "Suffocate the donkey. Whoever suffocates is the donkey. Look, isn't this just a stupid donkey?" She poked Pang Shishi's head and said, hating the fact that iron cannot become steel.
Everyone laughed.
Fortunately, Pang Shishi's face was already red, so he couldn't tell that he was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it!
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Then I misunderstood the senior who gave the name. I heard a legend that there is a wine shop in the northwest grassland called Thyme. The boss is good at drinking. He is not young, probably more than seventy years old.
He was good at making wine in his life. As the name suggests, the wine was fragrant for hundreds of miles. One day, he brewed two jars of new wine in the workshop, carried them on donkeys, and wanted to sell them in the market. After arriving at the market, the boss saw the sun rising
Three poles later, he found the shade of a tree and fell asleep. The aroma of wine was so strong that the donkey couldn't help but start drinking secretly, and soon drank half the jar! When the boss woke up, he heard the noise of people, but saw the donkey
He was lying drunk, and the donkey was in a great mood. Everyone was watching, and everyone, old and young, was laughing. A scholar came up and laughed and said: The famous grassland thyme, the fragrance wafts so far that it suffocates the donkey! The boss was very happy when he heard this, and he didn't
After a while, thyme got a more famous name - Mentao Donkey! From then on, Mentao Donkey became famous all over the world! It is said that some people in the Central Plains are selling Mentao Donkey now!"
"So that's how you get rid of the donkey. I thought you were calling someone a donkey!"
"If you really cursed people, then who would drink?"
Zhang Zilu said: "If I have the chance, I would like to taste the pure taste of suffocating donkeys!"
Tuoba You smiled and said: "You will drink it soon."
Zhang Zilu also smiled. He only thought that the other party was speaking politely, but he had no idea what the other party meant.
Tuoba You said: "Sir, it's less than two miles to go to the palace, why don't we all walk?"
It was clear that horses were not allowed there, but he said it so tactfully, Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said: "Listen to my advice, eat enough, and let's go!"
Pang Shishi asked: "Brother, what should we do with our horses?"
Tuoba You said: "I have arranged for someone to take care of it, and you will return it when you leave the palace!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Thank you!"
Tuoba You said: "It's your duty, you should do it!"
Hundreds of soldiers were clearing the way ahead, and pedestrians on the road were avoiding. Along the way, everyone admired the snowy scenery of the North, listened to Tuoba You telling local legends, and arrived at the city gate in almost the blink of an eye.
The city wall is only over a foot high, and it seems to be just to block the sight of outsiders. With this city wall, there is no need to arrange thousands of extra Pishi troops to stand guard in the cold wind.
The Bapishi army dispersed when they reached the city wall and guarded near the city gate.
After passing through the city gate, another group of soldiers in full armor came forward, and the leader turned out to be the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army.
The deputy commander smiled and said: "Master Feng, welcome to the palace of the Emperor of Liao!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Easy to say."
When he saw that the other party didn't say anything like meeting again, he knew that they were also cautious in their words and deeds.
Everyone followed the deputy commander and walked inside.
When Feng Jiuxiao raised her eyes, she saw nearly a hundred fully armed soldiers standing in the road dozens of feet away, majestic, high-spirited, and extremely powerful!
Feng Jiuxiao thought to herself: Is this just for yourself? Do you want to give yourself a show of strength? They shouldn't be so brainless, right?
At the end of the road is a huge felt tent, three feet high and ten feet in diameter!
Majestic and breathtaking!
The felt tent is located on a huge platform. Although the platform is surrounded by soldiers and cannot be seen, it can be expected that there must be countless wheels!
There are three floors inside and three floors outside. The palace tent is completely surrounded by dense Khitan soldiers!
It would be very difficult for the anti-imperialist faction to attack the big tent under such circumstances.
The spears held in the hands of each burly soldier shone with a cold light, and the eyes of each soldier revealed incomparable perseverance, as if they were ready to charge into battle at any time!
Zhang Zilu was impressed by the momentum of the Khitan soldiers!
"This is the iron-blooded master, the master of hundreds of battles, the invincible master!"
Zhang Zilu's mind was full of how to borrow troops from the Khitan, and his eyes were full of Khitan soldiers as strong as wolves and tigers. He looked around, trying to find Tuoba Xuan's figure.
Wang Sheng observed that there were many martial arts masters standing outside the tent!
Murong Chi was here, and that Shangguan Yida was also there!
There are more than a dozen peak masters of the Nine Realms scattered around, their eyes like knives, searching for suspicious characters from time to time!
Among them was a noble gentleman with a graceful demeanor, whose every gesture made him a scene of his own. According to Wang Sheng’s intuition, that person should be Yan Lingxiao!
Duan Muyan and Xiong Mengyan were not very interested in everything here, and just followed the crowd and watched the flowers.
The curtain opened and a person walked out, it was the Imperial Master Tuoba Xuan! He walked down the steps and stood there waiting for Feng Jiuxiao.
Feng Jiuxiao led everyone calmly to the steps in front of the big tent. Four maids were holding wine trays with wine jugs and dozens of small silver wine bowls on them.
Tuoba Xuan said with a smile: "It is our traditional etiquette to serve wine to guests. I invite you to drink this bowl!"
He picked up the silver bowl, poured wine in it, and brought it to Feng Jiuxiao.
Feng Jiuxiao knew that toasting was indeed a traditional way for Khitan people to entertain guests.
The Khitan people believe that fine wine is the essence of food and the crystallization of grains. They offer the most precious food to express the respect and welcome of the grassland shepherds to their guests.
As a nomadic people, food is naturally more precious than meat, so wine is naturally the "most precious food"!
Feng Jiuxiao looked at the smile in Tuoba Xuan's eyes, as if she saw that the prey was about to fall into the trap.
Knowing that there would be no problem in the wine, he took the silver bowl.
On the way here, Tuobayou had already introduced him to many local customs and etiquette. According to local customs, if a guest refuses to drink, he will be considered to be looking down on the host and unwilling to treat him sincerely.
Guests should catch the wine immediately, dip their ring fingers in the wine and tap it in the direction of heaven, earth and the stove to show their respect to the gods of heaven, earth and fire.
Don't force yourself if you don't know how to drink, but you can touch your lips as a gesture to express your acceptance of the host's pure friendship.
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said: "Master Imperial Master does not treat guests with the best wine, but welcomes me with a stuffed donkey. You want me to lose my temper in front of your emperor, right?"
Although he said this, he followed the rules and dipped his ring finger in the wine and nodded in the direction of the sky, earth, and stove to show his respect to the gods of heaven, earth, and fire.
Then drink it all!
"good!"
Everyone cheers!
Feng Jiuxiao glanced at him and saw Yan Lingxiao staring at him, so he smiled and said: "Master Yan, are you okay?"
