C1883 Masters Trap (2/2)

Ice cubes struck against the crystal cup, and the color of the liquor slowly lightened. Xiang Ying even recalled his life when he was still a student in Prussia, and this bottle of liquor was the reward he got from betting with the instructor.

”It's still better then. As long as you work hard, the school report won't lie. No one will be able to erase your hard work …”

”It's still better to stay on the battlefield. The enemies under the cannon have all been annihilated. No one can conceal the merit …”

”But why is it that when I was with Master, I got the swearing when I was clearly right? What did I do wrong... Have I been abandoned by my master from the very beginning? Am I not worthy of being your disciple at all? ”Just why is …”

A string of questions caused Xiang Ying to sink into an extremely dejected state of mind, immediately followed by the consumption of another mouthful of strong alcohol.

He did not know how much time had passed, but the ice bucket was already filled with condensed water, and the entire bottle of whisky was already halfway down, causing Xiang Ying's eyes to become red and swollen.

In a trance, a woman walked into the room. She smelled so familiar. Smell it!

Cai Bixia locked the cabin door, snatched the wine cup from Xiang Ying's hands, and frowned as she helped him into bed. ”What happened to you? What was going on? There's a lot of work to be done tomorrow. What do the British think of you when you're drunk? What does the Führer think? ”

”Hehe …” Master? Master won't think of anything. Master has already given up on me. ”Ugh …” Xiang Ying immediately vomited.

Cai Bixia was so angry that she kicked him hard, and quickly served him with a pot. After cleaning up the unrefined food, she saw that there was still a lot of melted ice water in the ice bucket on the table, and ice cubes floating around.

Using this bit of ice water, Cai Bixia stewed a thick bowl of nectar and drank it all up.

Xiang Ying originally had a good alcohol tolerance, but today his emotions were unstable, and he could not control the smell of alcohol within his body. After spitting out a portion of it and adding the cold nectar into his stomach, his consciousness gradually recovered.

After speaking for a long time, Cai Bixia finally understood what was going on. The meticulous woman furrowed her brows and analyzed everything in front of her lover.

There is nothing wrong with the old saying. A successful man must have a virtuous woman behind him.

”You fool, you've been tricked!”

”Do you know what it means to be a fan? You're in it now! Master was right, you shouldn't have said these things today! ”

Cai Bixia's father was the head of the Ryukyu's Military Department, Cai Mao. Their family controlled the few water troops in the Ryukyu, and Cai was one of the nine surnames that the Ming Ancestor had transferred to the Ming Empire. During these few hundred years in the Ryukyu, there were many officials in this family.

Ever since Cai Bixia was young, she had come into contact with the secrets and unwritten rules of the imperial court. Furthermore, Xiang Ying was merely a scholar in the western mountains, in terms of the unwritten rules, she was definitely just a beginner.

Right now, it was time for Cai Bixia, the old bird in the political arena, to teach this newbie, Xiang Ying, his knowledge.
