When Cang Wu on the stage looked over if he felt something.

He has curbed his murderous aura, returned to his calm appearance before, raised his wine glass and made a toast to Cang Wu.

Cang Wu didn't respond, just moved his eyes lightly.

Chu Liuxiang didn't notice all of this, and her nose, which was originally up and down, was exceptionally bright at this moment.

He sniffed, wondering if it was his illusion.

I always feel that this wine seems to be a bit more fragrant than the one I drank before.

However, before he could figure out why, Shao Xingjian at the side pulled his thoughts back.

"What are you thinking? The wine tasting banquet has begun."

Chu Liuxiang looked up, only to find that more than a dozen maids came out in a file, and each of them had a jar of unremarkable wine on the tray in their hands.

Cang Wu stood aside and introduced one altar after another.

"This is Luomei, this is Taohuaxiao, and this is Changhong..."

"It's not a new thing to say. I was originally a descendant of Sun Xie, a famous brewer in the former dynasty. Later, he fell into the dust because of his family's decline. But even so, I still secretly researched the method of brewing according to the handwriting of the family, and finally Dichen was successfully brewed three months ago, at least this little skill has been passed on, but unfortunately, I am not good at learning, so I only brewed Dichen, and the other [-] kinds of wines have not been able to restore the taste in the records. "

Cang Wu walked down the steps.

"Therefore, I want to give the method of brewing wine and the fourteen altars of wine to fourteen predestined people, so as to pass on these methods of brewing wine."

She nodded slightly to the maid holding the wine.

The maid holding the dust-cleaning wine immediately stepped forward and distributed the wine to everyone present.

There were many people present, and only three altars of wine were prepared.

So each person got only a small cup.

The people present were drunk like crazy.

Yu Ze and Gu Xichao looked at each other, raised their hands to cover their mouth and nose with their sleeves, and drank it down in one gulp.

"Good wine."

"Good wine."

The two of them took the opportunity to pour the wine into their sleeves, and then they praised emotionally.

Cangwu was still narrating, to the effect that he would come up with fourteen questions, and if he answered correctly, he would give wine to him—a gift to someone who is destined.

This sounds like it has nothing to do with wine making, but people around him just like this.

Especially those rows of literati in front.

And the booksellers behind.

——They have been scribbling since the beginning of the banquet, the corners of their mouths almost reaching behind their ears.

Although a little literary, Yu Ze was still a pragmatic person in essence, looking at them silently.

"Being able to answer questions has something to do with being able to make wine?"

Yu Ze's voice was low.

"Back then, He Zhizhang was exchanged for wine with a golden turtle—could it be that he didn't bring any silver taels?"

Gu Xichao waved her fan, glanced at him, and responded in a low voice.

talking room.

That box has already started to ask questions.

Mostly some poetry couplets or something, and occasionally some anagrams.

But as Yu Ze said, basically it has nothing to do with wine making.

"The ground is full of red flowers, and the ground is full of red flowers."

"The sky is connected to the clear water and the sky."

……

"The Big Dipper, fourteen o'clock in the sky at the bottom of the water."

"The lone wild goose in the South Tower, flying together with shadows in the middle of the moon!"

……

In a short while, there were ten altars of wine on the tray with other people's names on them—it was up to Cang Wu to decide who to give and what wine to give, and the wine would not be delivered to everyone until the questions were answered and the banquet was about to end.

The Jianghu people beside him complained.

In terms of talent and learning, they are certainly not as good as those who study hard.

In fact, these people may not be able to make wine, they just feel sorry for the jar of wine that was sent out - since the taste of cleaning the dust is so mellow, although the wine is a failure, the taste must not be much worse.

Think what comes.

"Next is a martial arts question."

As soon as these words came out, the Jianghu people beside him immediately became energetic.

Yu Ze looked at them coldly, and suddenly said, "Miss Cangwu!"

Like a thunderclap, everyone turned their heads to look at him.

Especially Chu Liuxiang's eyes were surprisingly bright in an instant.

But Yu Ze couldn't care less,

He got up and skipped Gu Xichao, walked straight forward, bowed his hands and bowed.

Broad robes and wide sleeves, neither humble nor overbearing, with a scholarly arrogance in every move.

"Before, the girl published a pair of couplets - an inch of land for the temple, and a poem beside the temple. The poem said: Mingyue sent the monk back to the ancient temple. Mr. Wang published a couplet - ten kings as Gui, divination by Guibian, and the hexagram said: rain cloud Relying on the experience and fighting against the top. But I am not talented, and I feel that Mr. Wang is only half right."

These words are insane, Wang Zhuo is a scholar in the imperial court, he is very good at pairing, and he is very old, very few people challenge him, even if he is challenged, they are respectful.

It's probably the first time he's seen someone as arrogant as Yu Ze in the ten years he's been an official here.

"Ignorant Lizi, I don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth!"

There were already some scholars scolding in that room.

Quoting scriptures, talking endlessly.

Yu Ze only thought that he was farting, it went in his left ear and went out his right ear.

Wang Hanlin had a good temper, stroked his snow-white beard and said with a smile: "Your demeanor is quite reminiscent of Taibai! I don't know if you have a good opinion?"

"I'm ashamed to be high."

Yu Ze bowed his hands again, and suddenly sniffled when he straightened up, and glanced at the remaining four jars of wine indiscriminately.

"The next thing is--two trees form a forest, the forest is forbidden, and the cloud is forbidden: the ax enters the mountain forest with time. The gauge is an instrument for measuring the shadow of the sun. The solar terms can be measured according to the length of the shadow of the sun. Mr. Wang uses clouds and rains to indicate I think it is inappropriate to replace the solar terms, the weather is impermanent, clouds and rains occur in all seasons, there are showers in summer, and plum rains in spring, how can we use the word cloud and rain to expand 24 solar terms?"

"Tsk..."

Wang Hanlin's hand stroking his beard stopped, he pondered for a while, and suddenly said loudly: "Okay! My friend is right, it's really like the waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves before—I don't know what to call you, but you have a reputation?"

"Next... Ni Die."

Yu Ze replied immediately, for fear that Wang Zhuozai would ask more questions.

"Since you all have no objections, I wonder if Miss Cangwu can drink the wine..."

"It's natural."

A smile appeared on Cang Wu's face for the first time, she called the maid and changed the name on the Changhong wine.

Shao Xingjian watched intently from the side.

"Wang Hanlin has never lost a pair—but Ni Die...has never heard of it before. Could it be that he is from the capital? No wonder he doesn't know Wang Hanlin...wait a minute!"

He suddenly widened his eyes, glanced up and down, and took a careful look at Yu Ze.

Then he shook Chu Liuxiang's shoulders quite excitedly, almost tore off his clothes.

"Tsing Yi with curly hair, why does this person look so much like the one you mistook on the street before? Is he the one you're looking for? Isn't it?"

After Shao Xingjian finished speaking, he glanced at Yu Zelai's place, saw Gu Xichao sitting upright there, and was stunned for a moment, feeling that the person looked more and more familiar.

And it seems that this name has been heard somewhere.

Chu Liuxiang didn't reply.

is it?

of course!

As soon as the voice came out, he confirmed the identity of the person in front of him.

——Yu Ze.

Very sure, without hesitation.

But Yu Ze is a killer, living a life of licking blood with the tip of a knife, fierce and cold, and elusive.

And the person in front of him is a scholar, like green pines and green bamboos, with a tall and straight figure, and his eyebrows are full of confidence in his talents.

The two are completely different in temperament.

Chu Liuxiang was puzzled.

He himself is proficient in disguise, but there are thousands of people in the world, and disguises can often only get their form but not their spirit.

But talent and learning cannot be faked.

The person in front of him must have read poetry and books since he was a child.

But why did a scholar become a killer?

Why is a killer good at singing the wind and playing the moon?

The curiosity in Chu Liuxiang's heart grew more and more, and there might be some inexplicable things mixed in it.

He was almost eager to know everything about Yu Ze.

Like breaking apart a candy.

He didn't know what was under the dark candy wrapper.

But presumably that taste must be sweet and unforgettable.

Chu Liuxiang thought a lot in an instant, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly when she thought about it.

General Chu Liuxiang didn't answer, the bored Shao Xingjian looked in the direction Yu Ze came from, and saw a familiar blue figure.

"Gu Xichao, Gu Xichao..."

He muttered, and suddenly grabbed Chu Liuxiang's wrist.

"Wait! I remembered!"

"He is the current crown prince and Taifu, the former student of Prime Minister Cai—that is... the one who chased and killed Qi Shaoshang for thousands of miles!"

!!!

Chu Liuxiang was startled, and subconsciously looked at Gu Xichao, but happened to meet Gu Xichao's gaze.

Gu Xichao was not afraid of being caught peeping, and nodded slightly to Chu Liuxiang across half of the hall.

"He seems to be paying attention to you. I think the level of disguise is good, but he recognized you at a glance."

"My eyes are long. As long as you are not blind, most of you can think of me."

Holding the wine, Yu Ze came over to block Chu Liuxiang's sight, then put the wine jug on the table with a "bang!", paused, and winked at Gu Xichao.

After this little episode, the wine tasting banquet ended quickly.

Chu Liuxiang, who was paying close attention to Yu Ze, immediately got up to look for him, but was only stopped by the crowd of people leaving.

Go find time again.

Yu Zezao dragged Gu Xichao and ran into the crowd as if fleeing, and left the Musk Moon Tower with the surging crowd.

Where is his figure at this time?

……

In the middle of the night, two blue shadows flew across the sky.

Holding the jar of wine in his arms, Yu Ze almost flew back to the small courtyard before.

"Even if Chu Liuxiang recognized her, so what? She ran so fast."

Gu Xichao was a little helpless.

"No, I just want to stay away from him."

Yu Ze said sullenly, reaching out to pat the mud off the wine jar.

Suddenly, a peach blossom fragrance permeated the air.

Yu Ze sniffed closer, his expression became serious.

"This wine is fine." Gu Xichao poured a glass and tasted it.

"But no problem is the biggest problem."

"Do you know what I smelled in the Musk Moon Tower?"

Without waiting for Gu Xichao to answer, he continued: "The smell of lime, and a very slight smell of blood. What's in that jar—it's not wine at all!"

The author has something to say: He Zhizhang is the man who called Li Bai "the immortal" under the excitement

The golden tortoise was an accessory for Tang Dynasty officials and a status symbol

Then one day he saw Li Bai and wanted to drink with him but didn't bring any money

So I untied the beetle on my waist and exchanged it for wine

made a good story

But in Gu Xichao's eyes, this kind of behavior is pretending to be B

After all, He Zhizhang was the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty at that time (if I remember correctly)
