Seeing that this man is tall and muscular, and looks like a generous and tragic man from the land of Yan and Zhao, you can tell that this guy has a very good drinking capacity.
In fact, it doesn't matter even if the drinker is not good. A god like Lin Zhao will naturally have ways to trick them.
Therefore, seeing the general coming forward, Lin Zhao acted arrogantly: "Brother, he is indeed a bold and forthright man, he must be massive. I wonder what your surname is, brother?"
"Xuancheng Colonel Guo Zhenlu," the man said.
Lin Zhao nodded, then moved the box next to him, placed it on the table in front of him, and took out a very delicately packaged box from his arms. After opening it, he revealed the dazzling diamonds inside.
"This is a diamond. If my brother wins, it will all belong to you!"
Lin Zhao showed these diamonds to everyone.
Everyone was immediately moved.
"Okay! Good! Good!" Xia Shouzhong laughed and clapped.
At his banquet, if such a program happened, it must be very interesting to talk about, which gave him a lot of face.
If word of this gets out, his family's banquet will skyrocket in status in the distinguished circle.
As an eunuch who has made enough money and doesn't have to worry about future generations, what else can he pursue besides glory?
As a result, the gambling and drinking quickly escalated to a very high level.
Not only were there musicians playing music, but there were also maids serving them drinks.
Soon a small table was filled with two large bowls of wine.
Lin Zhaohe and Guo Zhenlu stood face to face, half a foot apart, almost eye-to-eye.
It's like two sumo wrestlers facing each other in the ring.
You must know that Yongkang Bo led his army to suppress the rebellion two years ago. The Xuancheng captain Guo Zhenlu rose to prominence at that time. He often led a small number of elite soldiers to rush into the enemy's army, moving freely and horizontally, and was invincible. In order to improve morale, Yongkang
Bo even poured wine for him personally in front of all the troops, and asked him to drink heavily before going into battle to kill the enemy. As a result, the enemy army was defeated in one fell swoop.
"please!"
Lin Zhao picked up a large bowl containing a bottle of wine and said.
After saying that, he picked up the bowl and drank it as boldly as drinking boiled water. Of course, to him, this thing was just boiled water.
At his level, not even Yaochi's wine can get him drunk.
But Guo Zhenlu opposite him couldn't do it. It was his first time to drink this kind of strong liquor, and he didn't know the depth at all. He imitated Lin Zhao and drank it all in one gulp. He drank a whole bottle of liquor with more than 60% alcohol content.
That face instantly turned red, as if it had been struck by an iron palm.
But others were not alert.
Because this is the first time for everyone to drink this kind of wine, and they usually drink it by the bucketful. This small bottle is only two liters. Even if it is stronger, it is not a big deal. How did they know that the alcohol content of this bottle is almost
A bucket of ordinary wine.
"Dry!"
Lin Zhao picked up the second bowl, looked at Guo Zhenlu provocatively, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Stay with me to the end!"
Guo Zhenlu sneered, not taking it seriously at all!
So he also picked up the second bowl and drank it all in one gulp, and everyone around him cheered.
Then poured the third bowl.
"Colonel Guo has a lot of talent, but don't force it!"
After Lin Zhao finished drinking, he looked at Guo Zhenlu and said.
The latter hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and drank it with his eyes almost closed.
"Come again!" Lin Zhao's tone was calm, and he drank another bowl while talking and laughing.
But now, Guo Zhenlu is on the verge of death. Not only is his whole body trembling, but his hands holding the wine bowl are not trembling anymore, they are just swaying.
"Guo Zhenlu, can you do it?"
"Lao Guo, you can't be so good at drinking, right?"
"Captain Guo, follow up, follow up!"
"Is he a man from the capital? Don't lose to a man from Jiangdong!"
"Lao Guo, if you can keep up, the four or two eight cents of silver you owe me will be written off in one go!"
Of course, the last one is just a joke.
Guo Zhenlu held the bowl and looked at the wine inside. He closed his eyes and was about to put it to his mouth, but then he threw the bowl away, opened his mouth and suddenly sprayed the blood-red wine and food all over his companion, and then collapsed...
Of course Guo Zhenlu will be fine.
He was a native of the capital and a high-ranking figure in the elite circle. If he was drunk to death by Lin Zhao with a bowl of wine, the whole capital would be in trouble.
The nobles who had suffered losses due to the severe crackdown were worried that they would not have a chance to vent their anger. If they took the opportunity to explode, the capital would suddenly become unstable, and Lin Zhao would not be able to escape the blame.
Even if the emperor does not punish him, many innocent people will be harmed.
Lin Zhao has experienced so many ups and downs, how can he care about the short and long term?
So naturally he would not kill this Guo Zhenlu.
It stands to reason that drinking strong alcohol like this may cause gastric bleeding or even gastric perforation, even for a hardened man.
But with Lin Zhao around, Guo Zhenlu just butchered the food and wine, lay down on the ground, and fell asleep.
When everyone saw Guo Zhenlu falling to the ground, they were shocked at first, and then they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him snoring.
But everyone looked at Lin Zhao with a hint of awe.
As expected, it was in the wine shop that he showed his true colors as a hero.
In this fair competition in the wine shop, he drank three or four kilograms of wine and nothing happened.
But Guo Zhenlu, who was known for his drinking capacity, fell to the ground.
It is enough to show how deep Lin Zhao's drinking capacity is.
It doesn't seem to be a problem at all if I'm afraid of knocking everyone present down.
For a moment, everyone was shocked.
You must know that this is the case in a wine shop, momentum is the winner.
When one party is strong, the other party will become timid without realizing it.
If you are timid, you will think that the other person is powerful and you will be at a psychological disadvantage.
Then Lin Zhao used his sharp tongue to get close to everyone, and soon everyone was stunned and stunned.
…
There was a banquet at Xia Mansion, and everyone dispersed until late at night.
But the next day, Emperor Xiaode received the news.
He had three memorials in his hand, one from Jin Yiwei, Long Jinwei and Xia Shouzhong, reporting the details of the banquet.
"Haha, I didn't expect that the boy from the Lin family was not only extremely brave, but also had a great capacity for drinking. He actually drank more than a dozen nobles to their knees."
Emperor Xiaode chuckled.
Dai Quan and Prince Zhongshun did not speak.
On the contrary, "that person" in the corner raised his hand and said: "Generally, people with high martial arts skills and internal energy will have stronger drinking ability."
"That's it." Emperor Xiaode nodded and asked, "In your opinion, how will the public security in the capital change after yesterday's banquet?"
The man said: "This is beyond what foreign ministers can predict."
Prince Zhongshun said: "Your Majesty, on the day of the banquet yesterday, on the surface, he was very close to the four princes and eight princes, and respected the one from the Taiji Palace. In fact, he turned over the dark side and became loyal to His Majesty. If they join forces to create a reputation
, the others will definitely cease their activities, and there will be no ups and downs in the security of the capital."
Emperor Xiaode looked indifferent, and then showed a sneer: "These few are quick to see opportunities and understand things, but many of them are not only stubborn, but also blindly drunk and enjoying luxury. One day, I will definitely uproot them!"
…
After Lin Zhao attended the banquet that day, among the many nobles in the capital, their impressions of Lin Zhao and the Imperial Guards suddenly became much better. Many people praised Lin Zhao openly and secretly, saying that Lin Zhao had good character, a high capacity for drinking, and was worthy of being a friend.
He made good friends, and even his relative Rong Guofu was sought after by many people.
The public security in the capital has completely improved, and even the usual noisy people in the honorable circle have restrained themselves a lot.
Among the common people, there are more and more praises for Lin Zhao. Many people even call him the "Lin Qingtian" of the Great Zhou Dynasty who descended from the stars.
