Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 168 Drinking Orders

Chen Tongpan handed it to Lin Feng with both hands.

"This is the seal and armor of the Central Commander. Please inspect it, General Lin."

"Also, the Commander-in-Chief asked us to bring wine, meat, food, cloth, and other supplies to reward the three armies."

Judge Chen came close to Lin Feng and whispered.

"There are still three thousand taels of silver. Please check it, General."

Lin Feng expressed his gratitude in various ways and had the silver sealed in several packages.

Sent privately to several officials.

When the Tartar camp was captured, General Qin verbally promised Lin Feng the position of General of the Zhenjun Army, but it may not have been reported to the Protectorate yet.

However, this leading position is well-deserved.

Although this position seems very high, it is actually two levels lower than a civil servant.

A fourth-rank military general is equivalent to a sixth-rank civil official.

Come to think of it, he can only be considered a middle or low-level official in the Dazong Dynasty.

Regardless of the official's rank, Lin Feng still asked people to prepare meat, vegetables and other things.

A table was set up in the guest house of the castle, and a sumptuous banquet was prepared to entertain all the officials.

Of course, to say it was sumptuous was just to have a few more meat dishes than usual.

Lin Feng sat in the host's seat at the table. Apart from him, Li Donglai had the highest official position in the castle.

So he was made the deputy companion.

Bai Jing and Lin Qiaomei were women, so naturally they could not sit at the table in that era.

Lin Feng hadn't drunk for a long time. After all, he was young and energetic, and he had just won two battles.

Coupled with the constant praise and flattery from a group of officials, he felt a little elated for a while.

There were many people toasting.

He was bombarded with flattery.

In a trance, I seemed to be back at a drinking party in my previous life.

Everyone drank happily.

Zhou Tongzhi shouted loudly for a drinking game.

The other officials immediately burst into applause.

Most of the people at the table were civil officials, and they all shouted loudly about chanting poems and drinking games.

Others didn't notice anything, but Li Donglai's face turned dark.

He was born a bandit and can hardly read. How can he recite poems and drink wine?

Lin Feng was not afraid at all. He cheered loudly because he was drunk.

Since it was Zhou Tongzhi who set the question, it was natural for him to write a poem first.

Zhou Tongzhi tilted his head back and drank a glass of wine, then stroked his beard with his hand, pretending to be in deep thought.

He glanced at Lin Feng and spoke.

"One, two, three, four, please."

Lin Feng didn't know what the rules of poetry and drinking games were at that time. When he heard Zhou Tongzhi's order, he first gave way to Chen Tongpan.

But Chen Tongpan took the lead and immediately took over.

"Five, six, seven, eight, please."

Damn, Lin Feng regretted not saying this.

Are all intellectuals so shameless?

You can't say nine cups, ten cups, or eleven cups, right?

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, his mind quickly searched for the poem he had recited.

Several civil servants at the table had smiles on their faces.

Naturally, they looked down on these warriors. From top to bottom, the Dazong Dynasty emphasized culture over military power.

Men of letters have always looked down upon military officers.

Li Donglai also looked at Lin Feng worriedly. Are these useless officials here to congratulate us or to humiliate us?

In just a moment, Lin Feng remembered an ancient poem.

"If you want to drink, the pipa will urge you immediately. Please."

Several civil servants frowned and thought deeply.

This... seems, feels... not bad.

Next is the chief judge of the city, whose surname is Wang.

Wang Tixing frowned and thought for a while, then picked up the wine glass and raised it towards Lin Feng.

"General Lin, if you can continue the next sentence, how about I drink three cups in a row?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately started cheering.

Lin Feng laughed. This guy is just delivering food.

Li Donglai was unwilling and immediately stood up to stop it.

"Hey, this is against the rules. If you can accept it, then accept it. If you can't, then drink. Wang Tixing, you can't push it back."

Wang Tixing glared and said, "If General Lin can continue with this sentence, I'll drink six cups!"

Everyone at the table suddenly became more excited and cheered loudly.

Li Donglai was left speechless.

The coarse porcelain wine glasses on the table can hold about six or seven taels of wine. After six glasses of wine, most people will be drunk.

Everyone looked at Lin Feng with gloating eyes.

Lin Feng frowned slightly, as if thinking.

Zhou Tongzhi spoke up for Wang Tixing.

"General Lin, if you can't answer, these six glasses of wine are yours."

Li Donglai immediately called out, "If you can keep up, would Lord Zhou also like to have six cups?"

Zhou Tongzhi frowned and looked at the coarse porcelain wine glass in front of him.

He gritted his teeth and said, "How about I drink three cups with you?"

"it is good..."

Everyone cheered in unison.

"General Lin, please."

"Okay, my next line is...don't laugh at me sleeping drunk on the battlefield."

"what?"

"what!"

"Oh... great sentence!"

Several civil servants immediately shook their heads and began to comment.

Although Zhou Tongzhi was not convinced, he had to admit that this drinking game was very well responded to.

Wang Tixing was originally a military general and had no knowledge of poetry or songs.

Seeing that several civil servants were speechless, I knew that Lin Feng had received the message well.

"I admire you!"

After saying that, he stood up, tilted his head back and poured a glass of wine into his mouth.

His glass was immediately filled.

One glass after another, six glasses of wine were drunk.

Even though he could drink a lot, he couldn't withstand the impact of such a large amount of alcohol.

After drinking six glasses of wine, Wang Tixing swayed and sat down on the chair.

Unexpectedly, he was too drunk and sat down too fast.

He couldn't hold on and fell backwards with the chair.

"Hahaha..."

“It turned over, it turned over…”

No one took it seriously, it was just common fun at the dinner table.

Zhou Tongzhi's face changed color.

Some soldiers came and carried Wang Tixing out to sober him up.

After a commotion, everyone turned their attention to Zhou Tongzhi again.

Zhou Tongzhi took a deep breath.

"Uh... General Lin, I feel like there's more to your drinking game. I've been thinking about it for a while but it doesn't seem right. If you come up with another one, I'll add two more cups."

Although these words sounded a bit like cheating, his rank was the highest, so the civil servants stopped making a fuss.

Chen Tongpan couldn't stand it either.

"Brother Zhou, let's drink three cups first and then we can talk about other things."

"Zhou never tells lies. How about five cups of wine and then General Lin's next line?"

Zhou Tongzhi's face had turned red. He felt that he could not drink much, so he tried to deny it if he could.

Li Donglai stood up suddenly and was about to say something.

Then he saw Lin Feng pressing his hand towards him.

"Okay, since Mr. Zhou has spoken, I will agree."

Zhou Tongzhi praised loudly: "General Lin is so heroic!"

Lin Feng looked thoughtful again for a moment.

"How many men have ever returned from battles in ancient times?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the table fell silent.

Someone softly chanted: "One cup, two cups, three cups, four cups, the pipa music urges me to drink. Don't laugh at me sleeping drunk on the battlefield, how many men have ever returned from battles in history..."

"Good sentence!"

"Great..."

"There must be a previous sentence. The first sentence isn't quite right."

The officials were talking a lot.

Zhou Tongzhi didn't say anything either. After thinking for a while, he raised his glass and drank it all.

"Pour the wine."

He drank three cups in a row, then his body went limp and he slid off the chair.

Seeing that the guest of honor was drunk under the table, the others started to yell and leave.

Bai Jing supported Lin Feng and walked out of the yard.

The moonlight is like water, sprinkling coolly on the body.

The two of them strolled along the wide streets of the castle.

"Brother, did you come up with this poem yourself?"

"Copied someone else's."

"But why can't I figure out whose poem it is?"

"That's because you haven't read enough."

"I've probably read such a beautiful sentence before. Can you tell me the full story?"

"Haha, simple, the first sentence is..."
