My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"Hey girl, what are you looking at? Come on, have a drink!"

At this moment, a woman held a wine glass directly to Helian Zhaoyue's lips: "Drink this, and I'll let you go!"

Helian Zhaoyue looked at the wine glass handed to her, gritted her teeth, and finally tilted her head back and drank it down.

After downing a cup of wine, Helian Zhaoyue immediately stood up, ready to leave.

But before she could take two steps, another woman smiled and blocked her way: "Miss, she let you go, but I didn't!"

As he spoke, another glass of wine was handed to him: "If you want me to let you go... you'll have to drink at least two!"

"you……"

Helian Zhaoyue stared at the wine glass in front of her, her chest heaving with anger.

But she was surrounded by girls from the Spring Moon Pavilion. If she really made a move, she would probably be branded with the infamy of attacking women of the pleasure house.

With gritted teeth, Helian Zhaoyue glared fiercely at Jiang Xiaobai before sitting down again.

But after sitting down, Helian Zhaoyue said, "Alright, drink, but for every cup I drink, you all drink the same amount!"

In fact, the thing that Beiyu people are least afraid of is drinking.

All we need to do is get these women drunk.

In her mind, similar scenes were happening all over Chun Yue Lou.

The Qi delegation was surrounded by girls, and the Beiyu delegation also failed to escape.

One glass of wine after another was served, and as soon as one was put down, another was handed to it.

"noob!"

On the second floor, Tang Ningshuang looked towards the first floor and said, "Isn't this... a bit too much?"

That's right.

The members of the delegation below had already been persuaded to drink quite a bit.

Some people with low alcohol tolerance turned red in the face, and some even started to slur their words.

"Being soft-hearted towards the enemy..."

Jiang Xiaobai picked up his wine glass, his expression perfectly calm: "That would be harming yourself!"

He still does not know the exact purpose of the two delegations' visit to Greater China.

But one thing he was certain of was that the delegations from both countries would show absolutely no mercy when targeting the Marquis of Zhenbei's residence.

This morning, before he, the envoy from the two countries, even arrived at the Court of State Ceremonial, the rest of the delegation left without notice.

They even wanted him to search the entire capital. This one incident alone was enough to reveal a lot.

If that's the case, why should he be polite to the other party?

"No!"

Tang Ningshuang shook her head: "What I mean is, what if they complain to His Majesty if we do this?"

At this point, Tang Ningshuang hesitated slightly, "Won't His Majesty blame us?"

After all, the delegations from both countries represented not only Helian Zhaoyue and others, but also the Northern Yu and the Qi Kingdom.

If Jiang Xiaobai's actions today really escalate to the point of involving the imperial court, it could cause quite a bit of trouble.

"What does this have to do with us?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai looked at Tang Ningshuang with a puzzled expression: "Everyone in the capital knows... today's event was booked by the delegations from both countries!"

"..."

Tang Ningshuang opened her mouth when she heard this.

In the end, he didn't utter a single word.

It seems that Jiang Xiaobai had already thought of all of this.

Her worries were indeed somewhat unnecessary.

"Come on, let's drink too!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and sat back down in his previous seat.

Compared to the bustling scene below, their place was much more understated and elegant.

Jiang Xiaobai didn't drink the wine in large gulps; instead, he savored it more.

But while enjoying his wine, Jiang Xiaobai would occasionally glance downstairs.

The delegations from both countries were large, including accompanying officials and ordinary servants.

There are also some people who seem insignificant, but Jiang Xiaobai knows in his heart that sometimes... the more insignificant a person is, the more capable they are.

For example, in the Northern Yu delegation, there was an old man who looked unremarkable.

The man was dressed plainly and had a somewhat hunched posture. He sat there, having drunk quite a bit of alcohol, and looked quite drunk.

But Jiang Xiaobai noticed that the old man's eyes were always very bright.

Every now and then, he would glance around, even when girls came up to him and offered him drinks.

The old man's body was always positioned so that he could get up at any time.

This guy is definitely a master!

Two members of the Qi delegation were in the same situation.

One was an extremely ordinary-looking middle-aged man, and the other was a servant accompanying the Qi envoy.

Neither of them looked particularly striking.

But his breathing didn't change at all while he was drinking.

His eyes were very clear.

Jiang Xiaobai's eyes narrowed slightly.

It seems that dealing with these two delegations will not be as easy as imagined.

Of course, he wasn't planning to do anything at the moment; he simply memorized the appearances of these people.

Time passed little by little.

Many of the members of the delegation below also gradually became drunk.

Some people were slumped over the table, others were leaning against their chairs, muttering something under their breath.

Some people clung to their wine jars, refusing to let go no matter what.

After looking around, Jiang Xiaobai's gaze fell on Teng Zixiu, and he smiled.

This guy is kind of interesting.

Jiang Xiaobai could tell that Teng Zixiu truly loved fine wine.

Although she didn't want to drink, she couldn't bear to waste the wine every time the girl handed it to her.

When a cup was brought to him, Teng Zixiu drank it.

By now, I've lost count of how much I've drunk.

Even so, Teng Zixiu remained seated, not drunk, at most her eyes were just a little dazed.

"You have a good alcohol tolerance!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled.

Just then, the cup fell to the ground and shattered.

Jiang Xiaobai turned his head to look.

Helian Zhaoyue leaned against a nearby pillar and slowly stood up.

Swaying slightly, we arrived at the stairs.

As she climbed the stairs, every step made people worry that Helian Zhaoyue might fall.

But Helian Zhaoyue staggered all the way to the second floor.

"Jiang Xiaobai!"

As the distance closed, Helian Zhaoyue gritted her teeth, her voice filled with intense anger.

Upon seeing this, Tang Ningshuang's gaze instantly turned cold, and she placed her right hand directly on the hilt of her sword.

Jiang Xiaobai noticed this naturally, raised his hand, and gently patted Tang Ningshuang's arm: "Don't be nervous, it's okay!"

Tang Ningshuang glanced at Jiang Xiaobai, then slowly loosened her grip on the sword hilt.

Jiang Xiaobai stood up and pulled over a chair next to him, saying, "Come, Princess, sit down and let's talk!"

But Helian Zhaoyue showed no intention of sitting down. Clenching her fists, she lunged directly at Jiang Xiaobai.

"I, the princess, will beat you to death!"

"Why!"

Upon seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai reached out and grabbed Helian Zhaoyue's arm.

Although Helian Zhaoyue knew some martial arts, she was extremely drunk at the moment.

There was practically no force involved.

After easily stopping Helian Zhaoyue, Jiang Xiaobai asked directly, "Who is Third Master?"

"What is the purpose of your two delegations' visit to Greater China?"

"If you tell me... I'll tell you a secret too!"

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, Helian Zhaoyue sneered: "Third Master? Isn't Third Master just you..."

At this point, Helian Zhaoyue's body suddenly went limp, and she crashed headfirst into Jiang Xiaobai's arms.

"Um?"

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Helian Zhaoyue, who had already closed her eyes, speechless.

This woman should finish what she's saying! What kind of person is she if she only says half of it?

What is Third Master to them?

Is it...

Does he even know this so-called Third Master?
