Chapter 235 Regret

"Rongzhai Continuation: Officials of the Han Commandery": "Taiyuan is a horse official. He is in charge of herding horses. He takes their juice and treats them. The taste of vinegar can be drunk, because he is also a famous official."

This horse wine is not only loved by the Han people in Bingzhou, but even those northern nomadic peoples, such as the Xiongnu and Zahu, also love to drink this rare wine with a strong stamina.

And the people present at the banquet were all frontier warriors, with a lot of alcohol, under the frequent persuasion of the protagonist Ding Yuan and the frequent serving of wine by the dancers, Lu Li couldn't shirk it, so he could only drink heavily.

Of course, since the divine stone has changed many people's physiques, it's not an exaggeration to say that you won't get drunk after a thousand glasses of wine. After a few jars of wine, Lu Li didn't feel any discomfort other than being slightly tipsy.

After all, the main test is not liver function, but stomach capacity.

When the wine was full, several generals were happy again, pushed the table and stood up and danced.

Frankly speaking, dancing is not a self-defeating status at all. On the contrary, only high-ranking officials and nobles, those with status are qualified to do so at the banquet.

However, for this kind of elegant, tasteful, and fashionable event, the rough guys insisted on pulling Lu Li along, saying that he was the youngest among them, so he should dance to add to the fun.

As a newcomer to the club, with no seniority, Lu Li couldn't refuse the good intentions of his seniors, so he had to bite the bullet.

As for refusing...

forget it.

This kind of behavior is tantamount to slapping those generals in the face in public, because before the exam, Lu Li went to learn some Han Dynasty etiquette and knew a story:

Tao Qian, who has appeared many times in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", directly angered Zhang Pan, who was then the county guard, at a banquet when he was young, and his career in the future was bumpy.

Besides, isn't it just dancing?

At this moment, Lu Li is adapting well, following the rhythm of the generals, one step, two steps, circling... patting his chest... stepping forward, continuing to circling...

It can be called a large-scale atavism scene.

Because there were no acquaintances watching and the atmosphere was hot, under the leadership of his brother Zhang Liao, Lu Li became more and more open.

Especially after mastering the rules and skills, I saw him grab the wine urn, throw it into the air while dancing, and later, even the wine bottle and other things were served together, catching and throwing, and dancing with the beat.

All the generals looked, in the shadow of red candles moving, amidst the delicacies and delicacies, a well-groomed young man danced vigorously, advancing and retreating, rustling with the wind, as bright as a god, which attracted applause from all the halls.

Seeing this, several generals who had been on the sidelines until now were not to be outdone, and began to perform various difficult dances by virtue of their strength and reflexes far beyond ordinary people.

At the end, even Ding Yuan, who is the main character, didn't hold back and told everyone to make room for him. He stepped off the stage himself, sometimes twisting his body and raising his arms, sometimes shaking his sleeves, dancing alone.

After enjoying himself, Lu Li returned to the table and continued to drink with his brother Zhang Liao.

"Meng Ming, didn't you ask me about Fengxian earlier? Now, the person is close at hand."

At this moment, Zhang Liao raised his wine bottle, looked at Lu Li who was seated next to him, and said, "Come, let's have a drink together!"

Since the two were kneeling facing each other, Lu Li could see Lu Bu when he raised his eyes.

He was dressed in the same attire as when we met in the garden before, wearing hakama and pleats, and did not wear the iconic three-prong hair purple gold crown, but wrapped in a blue kerchief.

However, Lu Bu himself was born with a dignified appearance and was more than eight feet tall. Even in Bingzhou, where there are full of proud and Tibetan men, he is still so conspicuous that one dare not underestimate him.

At this moment, when Lu Bu, who was drinking alone, heard this, a smile appeared on his face, without hesitation, he raised his glass and said to Lu Li, "From now on, we will be Brother Pao Ze, come, drink this saint!"

Literati like to call those who have clear wine a sage, and those who have dirty wine a sage, and the wine that Ding Yuan used to hold banquets for the generals is naturally the holy product among wines.

From this point of view, Lu Bu did not acquire the habit of being frivolous, but looked like a person who had read a lot of poetry and books.

at the same time.

Lu Li, who was sitting opposite, saw how polite this peerless general was, he picked up the wine bottle with a smile, said "See you", then flicked his sleeve, and drank the wine in one gulp.

Next, under the guidance of Zhang Liao, the three of them toasted again and again, talking about the anecdotes they had encountered, and when they got to the point of chatting, they laughed wantonly.

From the beginning to the end, Lu Bu did not mention what happened in the back garden, just pretending that it never happened.

Not only that, when the protagonist Ding Yuan had enjoyed dancing to his heart's content, he pulled out his sword from his ribs and danced a song specially, without putting on airs of a peerless warrior at all.

It was night, and the generals of Bingzhou, who had been drinking for six or seven hours in a row, just dispersed in twos and threes.

Lu Bu originally wanted to sleep with Lu Li and Zhang Liao, but because of important military affairs, he had to take advantage of the darkness and lead more than ten thousand elite wolf cavalry to Taiyuan County for reinforcements, so he had to give up.

The same is true for most of the generals during the banquet. They didn't care about rest at all, and had to rush to the designated county and town guard overnight. In Ding Yuan's words:

Stick to the city and wait for him to come back from the north, and with the momentum of a great victory, attack back and forth, and wipe out the remnants of the Yellow Turban in one fell swoop.

Chasing away the maid who came to help, Lu Li walked back to the wing room alone. He felt that his footsteps were a little shaky, not because of drunkenness, but because of his mood.

If he had insisted on going his own way and went to Luoyang to join Boss Cao, where would he have had the opportunity to make friends with so many powerful generals, when would he be able to control the military power and lead an army to fight alone?

However, the biggest achievement of the night was making friends with Lu Bu. Thanks to his brother Zhang Liao's repeated toasts and invitations, the relationship between the two of them has improved by leaps and bounds, far surpassing the generals at the banquet.

There may be elements of politeness in the sentence "sleep together, but being able to say it is enough to prove that Lu Bu really has a good impression of Lu Li in his heart. Otherwise, with his character and ability, why should he be like this?"

Throughout "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", who are the people who are so close that they fall asleep together?

The three of Liu Guanzhang are definitely among them.

Zhou Yu and Jiang Gan must be included.

[Chapter 45: Yu said: "I haven't shared the bed with Ziyi for a long time, so I will go to sleep tonight."]

Sun Quan and Lu Su, this pair of monarchs and ministers cannot escape.

[One day, all the officials were dispersed, (Sun) Quan stayed with Lu Su to drink together, and at night he arrived at the same bed and lay down]

Therefore, Lu Li once concluded in his notes: As long as they have slept together, the relationship is definitely strong.

If Lu Bu turns against the water in the future, as long as he does not commit suicide, he should not be cruel.

However, before the tragedy happened, everything turned around.

Before he knew it, Lu Li walked to the covered bridge. He stopped where he was, looked at the cold pool, and thought in his heart: If we kill Li Su who came to lure Lu Bu first, and then contact the eighteen princes, The crusade against Dong Zhuo is a great event!

But, there are too many variables in the world.

Let's see.

In addition, it is also a pity that Lu Bu has never seen the enemy.

With a long sigh, Lu Li put aside all distracting thoughts and stepped forward. He knew that the most important thing right now was to go north with the lord to defend against foreign enemies.
