But he didn’t feel drunk His mind was still clear and his palms as hard as iron

One officer who seeainst her in a drinking contest while a dozen or so spectators were cheering nearby

Mo Lin had chosen the place “Deserters are the ht also spread the truth”

The three took rotated between six horses and galloped hard to the northwest for nearly six hours before they finally arrived at the caether They had brought a lot of wine and meat, so they armly welcomed by the hundreds of people who even took out their own food to share

The deserters were afraid at first But after figuring out that there were only three people on the other side, and after multiple assurances that they would not be forcibly recruited into hard labor, their wariness was quickly lifted by the suan Ru smiled and waved at Gu Shenwei When he came closer, she said, “I won You can ask hi on the opposite side was still swaying and waving his hand at the laughter of the crowd “I’irl now”

Gu Shenwei sat with his knees on the blanket besides Shangguan Ru and thought for a while before asking, “Who’s the person that you ’s question was so simple that the audience was disappointed The officer, however, squir, “My wife”

“Leave it to Mo Lin He’s better at that than any one of us”

“Drink”

Shangguan Ru’s face darkened, “I ran dozens of h the dark just to drink?”

“Hmm It’s not appropriate to drink in the caone, and only this kind of place still exists where we can drink”

Gu Shenwei took the bowl and agreed, , “Okay”

Someone held up the wine jar and helped fill the two’s boine They looked at each other, then simultaneously downed it at the same time

As one bowl after another was drank, the cheers grew louder and louder The two people co As they drank faster and faster, the crowd’s exciteradually turned into surprise and finally into adood drinker Who said that he couldn’t drink?”

The spectators applauded and cheered “The fe lost” “Ask the Dragon King a question”

Shangguan Ru was also drunk, but she was experienced enough to hide her drunkness She spread her ar competition; there’s no need to ask a question”

“No, no That’s the rule” The crowd continued to heckle theuan Ru and had been used just once
