Water Margin people

Chapter 1586 Drinking and Bragging

"Brother, I'm going to fight those people right now!"

Li Kui spoke immediately.

These words drew a wave of contemptuous looks. If it was so simple, why would the emperor bother asking?

"Your Majesty, the West is thousands of miles away from Jerusalem. We don't know how well they are prepared yet, nor do we know when they will set out. This..."

Li Zhu spoke with some embarrassment, saying that since they knew nothing, they couldn't think of any solution.

"You guys analyze it yourselves, I don't have that much time!"

Sun Lei waved his hand and several soldiers brought up all the known information.

Everyone immediately stepped forward and started to climb over, while Sun Lei left to rest.

A group of generals read the books for a long time and felt dizzy at the end. They were not studious people to begin with, but they learned a lot because of Sun Lei's order. However, they really had no interest in these foreign knowledge.

"I can't watch this anymore, Erlang, let's go have a drink!"

Lu Zhishen was so confused that he just took Wu Song away and ran away.

When he came outside, Wu Song also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master, I really can't be an official anymore. I'd rather go home and be a rich man!"

Wu Song whispered that he had resigned from Sun Lei before. He could not keep up with the pace of Qi State and did not want to be a burden.

"Erlang, how can you have such an idea? We are brothers who have been through thick and thin together. If you leave, you will be abandoning my brother alone. This is disloyalty!"

Lu Zhishen started to teach Wu Song a lesson with a stern face. How could he back down? He didn't even think about running away!

"Master, I'm just complaining, but I really don't know how to do that!"

Wu Song looked at Lu Zhishen and said.

"Erlang, I'll take you to gather intelligence!"

Lu Zhishen put his arm around Wu Song's shoulders and laughed.

"Where to go?"

Wu Song followed Lu Zhishen in confusion.

The two men came to a tent near the central army camp.

"Master Lu, Brother Wu, why are you here?"

A general looked at Lu Zhishen and Wu Song and asked, "This is the tent where supplies are stored."

"I'm here to get some jars of wine!"

Lu Zhishen said.

"Master, alcohol is prohibited in the army! No one can drink without His Majesty's order. Last time, His Majesty showed mercy and sympathized with your hard work, so he gave you a jar!"

The general quickly shook his head.

"I'm not just craving for wine! I want to use the wine to do great things!"

Lu Zhishen said seriously.

But not only the general didn't believe it, even Wu Song standing next to him didn't believe it. It was obvious that he was just craving for wine.

"Why don't you believe me? I'm a monk and I don't tell lies!"

Lu Zhishen didn't care and walked into the tent with his head down.

The generals and several soldiers were unable to stop him and were dragged in with Lu Zhishen.

"Oh my, what's wrong with our brothers' brains? How can they come up with so many good things?"

Lu Zhishen looked at the jars of wine slowly filling up the tent, a smile on his face, his saliva unconsciously flowing down.

"Master Lu, this is against the rules!"

The defending general immediately raised his voice a few degrees, saying that military regulations are the most important thing in the army and everyone must abide by them.

"I'm telling you..."

Lu Zhishen pulled the general over and whispered to him.

"Is that so? But we have to report this to His Majesty first!"

The general hesitated.

"You go and report it. I'm in a hurry. It will be too late if you're late!"

Lu Zhishen waved his hand to send the general away, and he and Wu Song found a few jars of good wine and went out.

Lu Zhishen and Wu Song walked all the way to the outskirts of the camp, near the camp of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. "You two, this is the Kingdom's camp!"

Several canned men in full armor shouted at Lu Zhishen and Wu Song.

"Hey, I'm not here to cause trouble. I brought some good wine with me and I want to treat you guys to a drink!"

Lu Zhishen was afraid of the wine jar and said with a smile.

Naturally, the guards did not dare to respond, and one of them immediately ran into the camp to report.

After a while, William came out with several generals.

"I wonder what the two of you can do for me?"

William looked at Lu Zhishen and Wu Song and said that they had just completed a transaction with the State of Qi, which was considered an agreement of some kind, and they were now nominal allies.

"Nothing, I just saw that you couldn't get any good wine, so I brought some wine for you to drink!"

Lu Zhishen laughed and said.

"drink wine!"

William looked at Lu Zhishen, then at the wine jars, and his Adam's apple moved involuntarily. In the afternoon, they drank the fine wine that Lu Zhishen threw to them. Although they were not used to it at first, the wine had an endless aftertaste, and they were all a little greedy at this time.

"This is excellent wine!"

Wu Song held up the jar of wine and spoke.

"Prime Minister, we are allies. Why don't we have a drink to celebrate? Besides, we can also gather some intelligence!"

One of the knights couldn't help himself and whispered to William.

William thought for a moment and felt that this made sense. He wanted to know the situation in the East, so getting these rude Eastern generals drunk was the simplest and most direct way.

"Well, I'm just in the mood for some more wine!"

William spoke up.

Lu Zhishen had a bonfire lit, and everyone soon sat on the ground around the bonfire. The meat was roasted, and a group of men sat around the bonfire, grilling, drinking and chatting.

"Look, Master Lu is still smart! This trip alone is different!"

Sun Lei said with a smile while looking at the bonfire between the two.

"Hehe, those Westerners who have never drunk strong liquor are no match for Master Lu and Wu Erlang. I'm afraid they will be defeated soon!"

Li Assistant said with a smile.

"Isn't this just perfect? ​​How can we get information out of you if we're not drunk?"

Sun Lei said with a smile.

"Oh, by the way, have someone bring some more wine over. It's hard to survive with just a few of us. We're not fighting, but men, especially soldiers, have to compete with each other!"

Sun Lei said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Zhu immediately understood what he meant. Drinking alone with a few people was indeed boring and not much information could be obtained.

Soon, a group of generals came towards the campfire carrying jars of wine and various dishes.

William was drinking so much that his head was spinning, but he was still unwilling to admit defeat. When he saw someone coming from the opposite side, he immediately called on his people to come out and help.

A group of drunkards sang, drank and chatted around the campfire.

Baldwin IV had just washed up and changed into clean clothes. He found that the sores on his body had almost healed, which made him feel better than ever.

"Teacher William!"

Baldwin IV, who had put on his mask, shouted, ready to discuss things with the teacher.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has taken his men out to drink with the Orientals on the ground!"

A knight spoke up.

"Out drinking with the Orientals?"

  Baldwin IV frowned. What was going on? Why was he drinking with the person opposite him?

"It was the other party who invited us. Many people went!"

The knight spoke.

"Drinking? What does His Majesty the Emperor want to do?"

Baldwin IV began to think about it. He knew very well that the emperor opposite him was unfathomable and it was impossible for him to do useless work.
