The Emperor is Above

Chapter 237 Your Drink Is Poisonous
"well said!"

Qing Yi cheered loudly. Bao Bu Tong’s words really suited his taste.

I thought to myself that no matter whether you are pretending to be cool or not, I’ll just pretend to be cool too!
Thinking of this, Qing Yi held his head high and said with dignity: "The princes and vassal ministers of all generations overcame difficulties and it took ten generations to defeat the enemy Xian Yu and restore the territory of Xing State.

We, the younger generation, should build on the great achievements of our ancestors and strive to become stronger, establish our hearts for the world, establish our destiny for the people, carry on the lost knowledge of the past sages, and bring peace to the world for all eternity."

"Rumble--"

Before he finished speaking, a burst of thunder sounded in the sky, making Qing Yi's face darken.

We know that thunder in winter is a normal natural phenomenon, but it happens so coincidentally that it still feels weird.

Bao Bu Tong looked at Qing Yi with shock in his eyes, and a bright smile gradually appeared on his face: "Since I was a teenager, my uncle has praised me for my great ambitions, and I have been proud of it over the years. I didn't expect that the ambition of the sergeant is far greater than that of a mediocre person like me.

If someone else said this, I would think that their words were shocking and even regarded them as nonsense, but since it was said by the lord, it must be true that he was expressing his aspirations. In the future, I wish to work with the lord to forge ahead and bring peace to the world for all eternity. "

Qing Yi couldn't help feeling ashamed.

At the same time, he was also puzzled by the changes in himself, as if his mind and soul had become more clear and lucid.

But he didn't have time to feel this change. Bao Bu Tong was too enthusiastic. Qing Yi's passionate words resonated with him and he kept talking excitedly:
“When I was young and started school, my elders taught me that one should combine knowledge with practice, and if one wants to achieve success, one should work hard, rather than just sit back and wait for success and enjoy wealth.

The sergeant has such great ambitions and is capable enough to realize them. Now he is only fifteen years old and has become a sergeant. I am afraid that in twenty years I will be able to look up to him."

At this point, Bao Bu Tong turned to his retainers and private soldiers and said, "It is really exciting to meet and get to know Sergeant Guqiu Yi today. Go get some wine and meat. I want to drink with the Sergeant."

"Haha, thank you for your generosity, Doctor. I happen to have some prepared dinner here. If you don't mind, please dine with us."

Of course Qing Yi couldn't abandon Tun Shigu, Gongsun Wu and others, so he drank alone with Bao Bu Tong, and asked Daniu, Mu Yi and other private soldiers to serve the dinner they had prepared in advance.

Soon, Bao's private army and retainers laid a thick layer of cattail mats on the ground in the pavilion, then laid reed mats, and finally laid a thick layer of luxurious velvet carpets. Stepping on them felt like walking on clouds.

Da Niu and Mu Yi each carried two stone pots and started a fire nearby, stewing snake meat, antelope bones, red deer bones, alligator front leg meat, and a large amount of dried vegetables such as mushrooms and golden needles.

"Mmm, it smells so good!"

Bao Bu Tong took a breath and said with a smile, "I heard earlier that there is such a novel way of eating in the capital. I didn't expect that the private army under the command of the sergeant has such good cooking skills. I want to try it today."

"Hehe, this kind of stone pot stew was invented by my brother Guqiu Yi. The stone pot restaurant in Guodu learned it from him."

"Wow, this really impresses me!" Bao Bu Tong looked at Qing Yi with even more appreciation.

As they were talking, Bao's retainers and private soldiers also unloaded beautifully shaped wooden boxes from the carts, and took out two jars of wine, a wine barrel, and plates of delicious delicacies.

The wine is the top-grade Huangdiao wine from Guanzi State in Zhongzhou. It is not only brewed with magical rice, but also contains a large amount of magical medicine. It is more like liquid magical medicine than wine.

There were dozens of dishes, including Lingjiu Tongue, Lanling Que, Roasted Deer Tail, Black Bear Paw, Golden Leopard Fetus, and dozens of plates, dishes, bowls, cups, cups and other tableware. Qing Yi couldn't even recognize them. The people in Guqiu thought that the food was very exquisite, but it was nothing compared to others.

The numerous delicious foods and wines dazzled the eyes, especially the nearly eight-foot-long golden carp with red whiskers in the middle, which looked particularly eye-catching against the silver plate. Eh? No, this was not a carp. Two faint golden horns grew from the fish's head, as if the carp was about to transform into a dragon.

Bao Bu Tong saw Qing Yi noticed this strange carp, and immediately introduced it with a smile: "This is a dragon carp from the river outside Yanjin City. When it grows up, it will be an eighth-grade or above beast, and there are even fifth- and sixth-grade dragon carp kings.

I kept a few to present to the king and the elders at home, and only this one is left to share with you, the senior officers. It is not only delicious and chewy, but the water power contained in it can also warm the lungs and heart meridians. "

Meanwhile, a servant of the Bao family carefully held the oil pan and poured the boiling oil on the dragon carp. Immediately, a rich aroma lingered between the mouth and nose, making people drool.

"My goodness, no wonder the saints always say that one should never tire of fine food, who wouldn't like to eat like this?" Tuan Shigu's eyes widened, "Shang Daifu is indeed from a wealthy family, we have never seen anything like this."

Then everyone took their seats. Bao Bu Tong sat in the main seat facing east, Qing Yi sat facing south, Tu Shi Gu sat facing north, and Gongsun Wu sat facing west, each with a primary and secondary seat.

Bao Bu Tong was serving the dishes while chuckling, "When I first heard of Gu Qiu Yi Shang Shi's name, I was quite skeptical about when such a young talent emerged in the capital.

Later I heard that the sergeant first invented the sled and skis, which helped Huo Yunyaqing in the northern border to ambush the Xianyu army and win a great victory. In the spring, he invented the spring plowing set, which increased the grain output of the capital several times. In the autumn harvest, he invented the harvester. At this time, I admired the sergeant very much.

However, the king sent orders to all cities to publicize the name of the sergeant and defeat the powerful enemy. I still couldn't help but doubt it in my heart. Now that I have met the sergeant, I finally believe it is all true. "

At this point, Bao Bu Tong had finished serving the dishes and smiled as he made a gesture of invitation: "Come, come, come. I am especially happy to see you today. Please drink this cup together."

"Meow-"

"Ah wu——"

Before he finished speaking, the figures of the civet cat and the little fox suddenly appeared.

Qing Yi originally thought that the two fat guys had slept enough and were ready to come over for some free food and drinks, but unexpectedly, two round fat balls flashed by like lightning and knocked over all the wine bottles in front of the four people to the ground.

After taking the soul pill and soul crystal from the Black Mystic Divine Servant, although the two guys have not yet been promoted, their strength has been greatly improved. Even Bao Bu Tong, a fourth-grade martial artist, was unable to stop them.

"Huh?" Seeing that the civet cat even knocked over the wine jar, Bao Bu Tong couldn't help but frown and said with embarrassment, "Sergeant, what on earth do you mean by this cat or fox?"

"Ah wu——"

The little fox rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue in a miserable manner, then fell to the ground stiffly. This funny and hilarious appearance made Qing Yi's face change drastically: "Doctor, your wine is poisonous!"

Before he finished speaking, Bao's private army suddenly cried out: "Bao Xing is dead, Bao Xing is dead!"

"My Lord, please do not drink the wine. It is poisonous!"

"Bao Xing drank the wine from the jar secretly and was poisoned to death. He bled from all seven orifices."

Bao Bu Tong's face suddenly turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Was Bao Xing bribed to poison him, or was he also poisoned to death, and the murderer was someone else?"

Thanks for the tip from Youyaoqi. I will update twice today. This week, the fantasy category is strongly recommended and I really want to update more, but the design tasks are very heavy. My boss and I are on a business trip these days, so I can only write at night. I pray that I don’t stop updating. It will be even worse if I go drinking with my boss, as I won’t have time to write at night.
