C140 (1/2)

Wen Jiu was never a clumsy person, but at this moment, in front of this youth with dull eyes, he felt that saying a few comforting words was a very difficult thing to do.

Xie Heng put down the wine bowl, and the Plum Blossom was tossed onto the stone table.

Just as Wen Jiu picked up the wine pot and was brought over by the young man, in the blink of an eye, he had reached the bottom of the pot.

The youth drank too quickly. The edge of his lips was stained with wine, and his amber eyes faintly glowed with water.

Wen Jiu didn't even have the time to say ”Don't drink too fast, it's easy to harm your body”. Xie Heng had already finished the three bottles of wine in his throat without saying a word.

As the hot liquor entered his throat, his entire body felt hot as well. He couldn't get the pressure off his chest. He couldn't bear it, but he couldn't vent it out.

When Xie Heng opened the fourth jar, Wen Jiu took the lead and touched the jar of wine in his hand. Then, without saying anything further, he drank it all.

The straightforwardness caused even General Xie, who was a drinking master, to be stunned.

After Wen Jiu finished drinking, he slammed the empty wine jar onto the table, ”They will regret it!”

Xie Heng lowered her eyes and curled her lips, but on her face, there was only a bit of ridicule.

”They will regret it.”

Wen Jiu repeated herself again. She looked at Xie Heng, and said word by word, ”Everyone in this world can bear with it after being angered. Only you, do not be like this!”

Wen Jiu said: ”Brother Yun is the guardian god of Great Yan, a young one, be it frivolous or unruly, even if you poke a hole through the heavens, there is nothing wrong with that.”

The only thing he couldn't do was bear with it and bury everything in his heart.

If he didn't say anything, then those people would pretend as if nothing had happened. If they could keep their high officials and magnanimous officials at peace with themselves for a while, who would still care about matters of the future?

”Jiu.”

Xie Heng chuckled and called out to her.

Wen Jiu said, ”I'm here.”

The youth looked at her for a long time, but didn't say anything.

The night quietly arrived, and the wind blew wildly.

The two of them sat facing each other in the octagonal pavilion. After looking at each other for a moment, Xie Heng reached out to grab the new wine jar. However, Wen Jiu suddenly stood up and asked him: ”You were covered in blood on the battlefield, were you even slightly afraid?”

Xie Heng paused, ”No.”

”The entire city is filled with nobles and powerhouses from Dijing City, all of them are scoundrels!” Wen Jiu was a born businessman, he always brought smiles on his face when he saw people and had a good temper. This was the first time in his life that he could not help but scold everyone in the imperial court to the heavens.

However, when she looked at the youth in front of her, her eyes were uncontrollably sour. ”You're scheming, fighting for power, have you ever been afraid of this?”

”Never.”

Xie Heng didn't hesitate this time.

With one hand on the stone table, Wen Jiu said with a determined look on her face, ”It's their fault!”

Xie Heng suddenly raised his eyes and saw the girl looking at him with a serious expression. Her eyes reflected the light of a candle, and some starlight spread out in his black eyes, breaking through the layers of night, shining resplendently.

He was dazed for a moment, then suddenly laughed, standing up and extended his arms towards her, ”Jiu, let me give brother a hug.”

Wen Jiu was startled.

”Then what …”

Xie Heng retracted his hand and embarrassedly touched the back of his neck.

Motherf * cker!

It was crazy.

What do you mean no? I'll hug your head!

The teenager did not wait for Young Madame to react and just as he was about to sit back down, Wen Jiu suddenly grabbed his waist and hugged Xie Heng, crossing the stone table.

She whispered in his ear, ”My elder brother is the best youth in the world!”

He thought of thousands of things to say, but the only thing he said was this.

In all of the nations in the continent of Great Yan, there was only one Xie Heng.
