Eternal Sword

Chapter 394 Is there something wrong with the wine?

As everyone was waiting, Lin Mubai gently lifted the mud seal, and immediately a strong aroma filled the air, like the scent of wine, and the whole yard seemed to be intoxicated by it.

Even people who don't know much about wine know that the wine in the jar is indeed a rare fine wine in the world.

Chen Tang looked surprised.

He had drunk good wines, such as the Monkey Wine from the Three Thousand Snow Ridges and the wine from Yunniang in the Shadow Tower, both of which could be called nectar.

Just by smelling the aroma of the jar of wine that Lin Mubai took out, one could guess that the taste of this wine was probably not inferior to that of monkey wine.

No wonder, only the leaders of major sects and forces have the opportunity to taste it.

Ali smelled the aroma of wine, but wrinkled his nose, stretched out his finger, and gently poked Chen Tang's lower back.

Chen Tang turned around and saw that Ali had a strange look in his eyes.

The two had been together on the boat for half a year and had already developed a tacit understanding.

Chen Tang's heart moved, and he asked, "Is there something wrong with the wine?"

He just opened his mouth but no sound came out. Ali could understand it just by looking at his mouth shape.

Ali nodded first, then shook his head.

"What does this mean?"

Chen Tang was confused.

Judging from Ali's expression, it seemed that she couldn't tell for sure either.

Maybe I just intuitively felt that there was something wrong with the wine.

There is no reason to make a fuss about the fine wine that Lin Mubai brought from thousands of miles away.

What's more, this is Langya Pavilion.

Isn’t he afraid that something might happen and he won’t be able to get out?
Could it be that someone tampered with it along the way?

"Good wine!"

Everyone couldn't help but praise.

Lin Mubai said: "It's a pity that there is no good wine glass to match it. It's a bit of a waste to use this rough bowl and cup."

Su Muzhe nodded slightly and said, "There is a poem that says, 'A jade bowl brings out the amber light.' If there is a jade bowl or jade cup, it can enhance the fragrance and color, making the taste of 'Drunken Eight Immortals' reach its peak."

Shen Zhiyuan was somewhat helpless and said, "Where can I get the jade bowl and jade cup?"

Liu Yingxiu's eyes moved and fell on the other woman, and she smiled and said, "Linglong Knife Academy deals with jade every day. The disciples are not only proficient in knife skills, but also good at jade carving art."

"Why not let Sister Lin carve a few jade drinking vessels for us? This will open our eyes and let us see Sister Lin's exquisite knife skills."

Mei Zhenyu talked to Chen Tang about it. Jiaozhou is rich in jade, and Linglong Knife Institute is located in Jiaozhou, running a jade business.

Top forces in the martial arts world often have thousands of disciples, and most of them run businesses. Otherwise, they would not be able to support so many people just by relying on the tuition fees from their disciples.

The Plum Blossom Sword School has gradually declined over the years because there is not much business to do.

"Alright."

'Yu Linglong' Lin Yu nodded.

Shen Zhiyuan ordered his servants to go to Langya Pavilion and get more jade.

Lin Mubai smiled and said, "After opening the Drunken Eight Immortals, you need to leave it for a while so that the aroma and taste can reach their peak. When Miss Lin finishes carving the jade, it will be the best time to drink."

"Brother Shen, friends, I won't bother you any more."

Mei Zhenyu clasped his fists slightly and prepared to leave.

Not only Chen Tang, but he could also feel it.

The two parties are not from the same circle at all.

Hearing this, Shen Zhiyuan remembered that Chen Tang and three others were beside him.

He secretly felt ashamed.

In any case, as a landlord, he should not neglect the guests here.

"Brother Mei, Brother Chen, and the two girls, please don't blame me. I was negligent." Shen Zhiyuan came over and said apologetically, "Brother Mei, please take a break here. It won't be too late to have a glass of wine before leaving. This wine is the fine wine that Brother Lin brought from thousands of miles away. It is rare in the world."

Xiao Wuhen said sarcastically, "Brother Shen, you need to change your hospitality habit. Not everyone is qualified to taste the Drunken Eight Immortals."

Mei Zhenyu blushed.

Liu Yingxiu smiled and said, "Yes, after all, the Drunken Eight Immortals were brought here by Brother Lin, so we need to ask his opinion."

Lin Mubai pondered for a moment, chuckled, and said, "The Zuixianlou, which brewed the 'Drunken Eight Immortals', has made friends with heroes all over the world. As long as you have good wine, you will become a friend when you come to Zuixianlou."

"Since we have met here, it is fate. Come over here, friends."

Shen Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, made an invitation, and said with a smile: "Brother Mei, Brother Chen, the two girls, please come in."

Seeing Shen Zhiyuan's sincerity, Mei Zhenyu found it difficult to refuse.

Among the ten geniuses on the list, only three or two were somewhat sarcastic towards them, while the others were quite okay and did not show any hostility.

As a landlord, Shen Zhiyuan was even friendlier and always tried to resolve disputes.

Mei Zhenyu looked at Chen Tang, who did not comment.

If it were any other time, given Chen Tang's temper, he would have left long ago.

He doesn't bother to pay attention to those crap geniuses and the Drunken Eight Immortals.

However, among the ten people, Shen Zhiyuan and Su Muzhe will fight on behalf of Langya Pavilion.

If there was really something wrong with the wine, and the two of them got into trouble because of it, which led to the defeat of Langya Pavilion and implicated Zhiwei, he couldn't just sit back and do nothing.

The Prime Minister's Mansion dared to make such a bold statement, challenged the Langya Pavilion to a battle, and looked down on the Jianghu Ranking List. Could this be their plan?
Chen Tang followed Mei Zhenyu towards the pavilion, ready to act according to circumstances.

"Brother Mei, there are a lot of people here today. If there is anything I can't take care of, please bear with me."

Shen Zhiyuan said softly.

Mei Zhenyu quickly said, "Brother Shen, you are too polite."

"That's right, Brother Shen."

Lin Mubai stopped Shen Zhiyuan and asked, "I heard that this time, not only did the Sword Pavilion have a young disciple fighting for the Langya Pavilion, but even Master Xuan came in person."

"Yes."

Shen Zhiyuan nodded and said with a smile: "Xuan Shuai is Zhiwei's uncle after all. He came here to see his niece."

"Master Xuan is here!"

“I don’t know if I’ll have the chance to see it.”

When everyone heard the name "Xuan Shuai", they were all excited and their eyes were full of admiration.

Ye Xuan, the nephew of the old leader of the Sword Sect, had come out of the mountains many years ago with the Sword Sect Order in hand, traveled around the world, and temporarily formed a Northern Expedition Army, becoming the key to the Battle of Xiajiang!

In the court, Ye Xuan is an invincible general who commands the three armies.

In the martial arts world, Ye Xuan is also a famous master!
Although he was born in Jian Ge and was not included in the Grandmaster List, everyone knew that Ye Xuan’s strength was definitely enough to rank among the Grandmaster List!

Han Yue asked, "By the way, Brother Shen, I heard that you and General Song from the Northern Expedition Army are old friends?"

"Old Song."

Shen Zhiyuan nodded and smiled, saying, "I just happened to ask him to come over today."

"Really?"

"General Song is now a popular figure in the Northern Expedition Army. He works under General Liu Daojian. He is only in his early twenties, but he has already held this position. He has a bright future ahead of him."

"General Song is also very famous in the martial arts world. He was ranked seventh on the list two years ago."

Since the Northern Expedition Army was initially formed by people from the underworld, it made great contributions in the Battle of Xiajiang.

Although later on, Commander Xuan handed over power and retired to the mountains, the Northern Expedition Army still held a pivotal position in the martial arts world and was respected by many people there.

There are even rumors that the Northern Expedition Army is the most powerful army in Daxia, even better than the Imperial Guards.
