C38 (2/2)
Huai Jin did not accept the wine cup, but raised the entire bottle of wine and gulped down the contents directly.
Ruan Qinghe cleared his throat and laughed: ”I never thought that Princess Anping was also a wine hero.”
Huai Jin wiped off the wine from the corner of her mouth and looked at Yuwen Fei with his pair of eyes that were like obsidian in the dark night: ”Do you still want to drink?”
Yuwen Fei snatched the wine bottle from Huai Jin's hand, raised his head and drank the rest of the wine, then waved his sleeves, imitating Huai Jin's actions. He wiped off the wine at the corner of his mouth, swung the bottle, and laughed towards the sky: ”Drink!”
With that, he grabbed Huai Jin, stepped lightly over the Princess Mansion's wall, and after using his movement technique for a while, he disappeared into the darkness.
Seeing the two of them leaving immediately, Ruan Qinghe shook his head, he had always known of Yuwen Fei's character, the two of them often drank late into the night, but Ruan Qinghe had never seen someone act so rashly tonight, even though he was in Princess Anping tonight, he had never heard of such a thing.
Although he did not have any companions, Ruan Qinghe's interest in drinking wine did not decrease in the slightest. He called for people to bring another jar of wine from the wine cellar and sat alone in the pavilion in Purple Bamboo Courtyard, drinking one cup after another.
On the roof of the pavilion in the Mianan Temple's Scripture Pavilion, Huai Jin looked at Yuwen Fei who was beside him who was holding onto the jar of wine without caring about his life, and took a gulp after gulp of it. With a deep frown, she snatched the jar of wine and said coldly: ”Yuwen Fei! What the hell are you drinking for! ”
Yuwen Fei did not return her, and took out another jar to take the seal, raising his head to drink the wine down his throat, a spiciness surging from his throat, being forced down his throat, his throat rolling quickly, and he immediately ran through the entire jar of wine.
There were already five to six empty altars in the surroundings, but the people beside him were still drinking nonstop. Huai Jin also picked up a jar and drank lightly. The two of them sat on the roof of the pavilion, silently drinking until the sky turned white.
The view from the top of the pavilion in the Ancient Texts Depository of the Mianan Temple was extremely good. From the top of the pavilion to the outside, the entire view of the capital could be seen, as close to the temple's inner courtyard as as possible to the outskirts of the city.
Outside the city gate, before the sky brightened, the hawkers had already begun guarding the gate. They were waiting to catch up with the morning market in the city. Some of them even set up stalls in front of the gate, making the place bustling with noise and excitement.
When it was morning, the guards yawned and straightened their clothes before opening the gates to the city. The hawkers lined up at the gates to wait for them to enter the city, and as the crowd surged, the entire capital seemed to come to life.
Huai Jin was admiring the sunrise on the bright red horizon. In the past, every time they completed a mission, Chu Feng and the others would climb up to the highest point of the horizon to watch the sunrise. Huai Jin could not deny this, they were mercenaries that came and left all their lives, some things could never be touched by them.
The warm sunlight shone onto his body, and Huai Jin once again lowered his head to look at the capital at his feet.
”Look over there.”
Yuwen Fei touched Huai Jin, and pointed towards the city gate.
Huai Jin retracted her thoughts, and looked towards the direction with his hand. A woman was carrying a load, one hand holding the load on her shoulders, the other holding a boy, the boy holding a girl.
The woman stopped in front of the door of a restaurant. She put down the burden on her body and began setting up a stall. The two children obediently stood on one side.
Huai Jin retracted her gaze, and was about to say something, but when she turned her head, he saw Yuwen Fei's serious expression and shouted: Look!
