The low-end soju that is not completely distilled is a bit turbid. It is this turbidity that makes the wine emit a strong aroma and a hint of choking spicy. Many people are not used to drinking this wine, so they would rather spend a few more copper plates.
, and drink softer mid-range wine.
There is also a high-end soju that can hardly taste spicy, but in many taverns, this ale is called "drinks".
Li Xuan is used to drinking beer on earth, so he only drinks some white wine occasionally. The alcohol concentration of this glass of soju in his hand is higher than that of white wine, but it is not particularly uncomfortable to drink.
Seeing Li Xuan take a big sip of wine, the Regent smiled and said, "It's not bad, the alcohol tolerance is quite good.
I said Wuting, someone will have a drink with you in the future."
Wu Ting is Lord Liu's name, so he looked at Li Xuan and said, "What do you think of my daughter?"
"I have a fiancée."
Li Xuan said hurriedly.
Lord Liu glared: "What do you mean? Do you look down on me?"
So what if you have a fiancée? Aren’t you still not married yet? Even if you get married, it’s nothing. Just divorce!”
Li Xuan looked at the Regent for help, but unexpectedly, this person who holds great power in the empire grinned, as if he likes this kind of bickering very much.
He murmured the two of them speechlessly, and Li Xuan said, "Mr. Liu, this kind of thing cannot be forced."
Lord Liu glared and said, "Why can't you force me? If I didn't force Liu Cui's mother, I'm still a bachelor now!"
"Puchi..." The Regent squirted out a sip of wine, and his image as a tough guy was instantly ruined.
"Okay, don't mention your embarrassing past, don't mess with Li Xuan.
Don’t mention the long-lasting love between children and children, just tell me serious things.”
The Regent wiped the wine channel off the corner of his mouth.
"Serious?"
Li Xuan's heart moved.
The Regent will definitely not meet him for no reason, so what exactly should he say?
After looking at Li Xuan up and down, the Regent said, "Before I came to Fenglin City, two people recommended you in front of me."
Li Xuan scratched her head and said, "Old man and the princess?"
"You're smart."
The Regent nodded.
This is not intelligence, but common sense. It seems that only these two people who Li Xuan know can speak in front of the Regent.
"That's all right, I basically don't believe what he says.
However, the princess rarely praises people, so I have to check out the people she recommends no matter what."
Regent's way.
Li Xuan couldn't help but laugh: Old man, old man, how did you do it? Look at the princess, she is much more reliable than you at a young age! The Regent continued: "I didn't plan to see you so early, but
Since I have encountered an opportunity today, I want to try your skills.
Very good, you didn't disappoint me."
Li Xuan suddenly said, "If there was no princess' recommendation, your highness would not let me go to compete with Bai Mengdeng, right?"
The Regent nodded and said, "That's right... If it weren't for you, I wouldn't dare make this decision.
The Empire experienced a blow last year and has not yet recovered its vitality. Although you are just an unknown person, losing to the people of Great Chu will make me unhappy.
Fortunately, you did a good job and won the face for the Empire."
"Since you are bringing glory to the country, are there no rewards?"
Li Xuan's expectation.
The Regent was stunned and immediately snorted coldly: "You will become famous in the whole country tomorrow. Isn't this the best reward?"
Just be stingy, why do you find so many reasons... Li Xuan thought to herself.
Seeing Li Xuan look unhappy, the Regent said, "Rui Xue didn't say you are still a greedy guy... Let's do this, I have a task here. If you do it beautifully, I will give you a great reward."
Li Xuan shook her head like a rattle: "Let's forget it!"
The Regent's face sank: "You dare to disobey the order!"
Li Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, you ran from the imperial capital to Fenglin City to give me a task?"
If this is the case, I can imagine how difficult this task is... I am just a little Qi Refiner. You have so many strong men under your command, why should I use me?"
"Others can't do it, only you can do it."
Regent's way.
"Stop teasing me, I don't believe that there is anything in this world that I can do and others can't do!"
Li Xuan protested.
The Regent's expression became serious, he gently lifted his shirt and pointed, "Did you see this scar?"
Unless Li Xuan is blind, how could he not see such a long and deep scar! This scar almost ran across the Regent's chest, and it passed through the heart from his left shoulder and stretched to the right armpit.
It was too long and too deep. Even after many years, it still entrenched on the Regent like a terrifying centipede, looking creepy.
"This knife almost cut me into two pieces. I lay in the bed for nine months before I woke up."
Regent's way.
Lee Hyun didn't say anything. He knew that the Regent would not raise the origin of the scar for no reason, and the next words should be related to the task.
"The person who left this scar is called Roten, you should have heard his name."
The Regent said again.
"Butcher Roten!"
Li Xuan was surprised.
Even if Li Xuan was ignorant, he had heard of the name of "Butterfighter Roten". This man was a general of the Great Qi Kingdom and guarded the border between the southern part of the Great Qi Kingdom and the Yunteng Empire.
In the past 30 years of guarding the border, Roten led the army of the Great Qi Kingdom to fight no less than a hundred battles of all sizes with the empire. Although most of them were small-scale frictions and conflicts, they still made a reputation.
The most famous battle was fifteen years ago, Roten attacked a military camp in the Yunteng Empire with only thirty people at night. From midnight to dawn, he killed a total of 300 soldiers and sixty soldiers of the imperial world.
Four monks! This battle gave Roten the nickname "butcher".
From that day on, if the children of Yunteng Empire were disobedient, their parents would use the name "butcher Roten" to scare them. Over time, this name became a vulture hovering in Yunteng's heart, fearful and disgusted.
.
In recent years, the Kingdom of the Great Qi and the Great Western Kingdom in the west have had a feud, and Roten has also been transferred to the western border, but his reputation is still circulating in the Yunteng Empire.
Li Xuan learned about Roten's "deeds" in the book. When he heard the Regent mention this name, he couldn't help but shiver and said, "Your Highness, is this mission related to Roten, right?
Then don't just say it. I would rather resist the order to be exiled by you than be split into two by the butcher!"
What a joke, Roten is a vicious evil person known as the "butcher". No matter what task he has to do with him, I will not go! Li Xuan thought to himself.
