The immortal of the Tang Dynasty, but the game starts at Xuanwu Gate?

The morning market on the tenth day of the sixth lunar month.

"Come, come, take a look!" In front of a stall in the West Market filled with wine jars and bowls, a slightly shrewd young man banged on a gong and kept shouting.

More importantly, on a table behind the young man, a hundred strings of cash were piled up, almost forming a small mountain, giving people a strong sense of impact.

This action immediately attracted a large crowd of onlookers from the surrounding area.

Someone asked, "Young man, are you selling wine?"

Wang Gui grinned and said, "Gentlemen, I'm not here to sell wine, I'm here to deliver money."

"Oh?" His words immediately caught the attention of a burly man. "How exactly are you going to give me the money?"

Wang Gui, with a warm smile, pointed to the wine jar beside him. "It's simple. As the saying goes, even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman. And wouldn't you know it, this wine is called 'The Charm of a Beautiful Woman'!"

"Furthermore, I'm giving away these fifty jars of 'Beauty Pass' for free. If any hero can drink three jars of 'Beauty Pass' and still be standing, they can take this hundred strings of cash behind me!"

Excuse!

These words immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.

"Are you kidding me? You'll give away a hundred strings of cash if you can drink three jars of wine without getting drunk? Isn't there already a Buddha statue in the temple? How come there's another one?"

"Look at what you're saying, as if you've got them cornered. Do you really think they're stupid enough to pull out a hundred strings of cash? If they weren't certain we couldn't drink three jars of wine, why would they swagger around displaying the money?"

"Hmph, three mere jars of wine? What's the big deal? I'll give it a try!"

Upon hearing this, the burly man immediately stepped forward: "Young man, I'm not bragging, but in our area, when it comes to drinking, no one for miles around can beat me!"

"If I drink this wine today and don't get drunk, you'd better not go back on your word!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Gui was not afraid at all. Instead, he praised loudly, "Looks like a hero indeed! But rest assured, since we dare to name our wine after something like 'Beauty Pass,' we must have absolute confidence in its quality."

"And then there's the money..."

Wang Gui gestured to the side, and the burly man stared at the hundred strings of cash, his eyes practically popping out of his head.

"Hehe... Our boss said that if someone can drink three jars of liquor without getting drunk, what's a hundred strings of cash or even a thousand strings? Just consider it making friends with a hero!"

"Alright, then I'll give it a try!"

Outside, in front of a tea shop, Chen Huai'an turned to Shen He beside him and asked, "How many bowls do you think this guy, who's known as the biggest drinker in the area, can finish?"

"Four bowls is the most," Shen He thought for a moment and gave her answer.

In fact, three bowls are equivalent to one jin (500 grams), and four bowls are more than one jin.

A single jar of wine weighs a full three jin (approximately 1.5 kg).

That means to take away 100 strings of cash, you have to drink 27 bowls of wine!

Shen He glanced at Chen Huai'an silently, thinking he was being a little too cautious.

There is absolutely no one in this world who could drink twenty-seven bowls of liquor without collapsing!

Eighteen bowls, which means two jars, is impossible.

Suddenly, gasps of surprise rang out from the crowd. Several people looked up and saw that the burly man had fallen to the ground.

Contrary to Shen He's guess, this person didn't even finish the third bowl.

However, this did not deter others; on the contrary, it aroused everyone's competitive spirit.

After all, there were rows and rows of bowls filled with wine. The strong aroma of wine, which they had never smelled before, wafted into their noses, arousing their cravings.

Putting aside the hundred strings of cash, the aroma of this wine alone is enough to make everyone want to come and try it.

"Sigh, I'm done again. This time I only managed two bowls, and I couldn't even finish the third. Is this wine really that strong?"

A man next to him, his eyes fixed on the row of bottles of liquor, said, "Just by the smell, you think you can doubt the quality of this liquor? No wonder they dared to name it that way; even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman!"

At this moment, a man at the stall, his face flushed from drinking three bowls of wine, struggled to suppress the churning smell in his stomach and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, good, good wine!"

"This is the best, strongest, and most delicious liquor I've ever tasted!"

"But young sir, this wine is really strong. May I drink it a little more slowly?"

Wang Gui said nonchalantly, "Hero, please do as you please. As long as you can finish three jars, which is twenty-seven bowls, before dark, then this hundred strings of cash is yours."

"Good!" the man said heartily. "It seems you're quite confident, young man, but this wine is worthy of your confidence!"

"Again!"

The crowd was in high spirits, with one person after another claiming to be a heavy drinker stepping forward, only to emerge staggering or falling asleep on the spot.

Seeing this, Chen Huai'an sighed inexplicably, "It's so good to be young, huh? Just go straight to sleep."

Yunyan: "..."

"Sir, wasn't he drunk?"

"Shut up, don't sabotage me."

".......All right."

Listening to the conversation between the master and servant, Yunyan pursed her lips and smiled gently, feeling that the two of them didn't seem like a master and servant pair at all.

Too easygoing.

What they didn't notice was that not far away, two maids were nervously protecting a five or six-year-old girl, their eyes constantly scanning the people around them, as if they were afraid that someone would harm the little girl.

"Miss... we've already looked at the wine, let's go back quickly," one of the maids pleaded.

The little girl, Li Lizhi, was furious. With her cheeks puffed out, she said, "That gentleman is indeed a big liar. He not only gave away perfectly good wine for free, but he also gave money to people after they finished drinking it."

"What kind of business is this?"

"In my opinion, he'll probably send someone over later to pretend he's drunk the wine, and then he'll leave with a hundred strings of cash."

"That hundred strings of cash will definitely end up in that gentleman's pocket."

"Then he could tell my brother and mother that he lost money in business. He really knew how to play the game!"

Luo Yi didn't care about any of that; all she wanted was for this little tyrant to go back. She continued to plead, "Miss, we've been sneaking out long enough. We have to go back, otherwise... otherwise, if His Highness finds out, this servant and Qingyi..."

At this point, Luo Yi stopped, tears and fear welling up in her eyes.

Li Lizhi really wanted to say that she had to settle accounts with Chen Huai'an, but she couldn't bear to see the two maids punished, so she could only nod.

"Okay, let's go back..."

"Where are we going back to?"

Before Li Lizhi could finish speaking, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her. Before she could figure out why the voice sounded familiar, she felt a pair of large hands grab her braid.

"ah!"

Suddenly, Li Lizhi exclaimed in surprise, and was turned around by her braid, meeting a pair of smiling eyes.

Chen Huai'an raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh, isn't this Little Lychee? You've gotten quite bold, daring to insult me ​​in private."

"Who did you just call a big liar?"

"..."
