Chapter 43 Why Don't You Drink

Sun Quan invited Guan Ping to the banquet in his personal capacity.

During the banquet, he kept persuading Guan Ping to drink, and asked Guan Ping carefully about the battle.

Guan Ping's alcohol capacity was very poor, his face was flushed after two cups of yellow soup, and he started to tremble a little when he spoke.

Sun Quan's interest remained undiminished, and he kept praising Guan Ping's ability to kill the enemy and behead the general, and gradually changed the topic to the previous battle where Guan Ping beheaded Cao Chun.

"I heard from Zijing that Tanzhi raised his hand to kill Cao Chun at a distance of a hundred paces away that day. This matter will surely shock the world in the future. I wonder if Tanzhi can tell me how he did it that day?" Sun Quan said. His open-minded appearance, coupled with his heart-to-heart attitude before, made it really hard for Guan Ping to refuse.

He sorted out his thoughts and said calmly:

"That day we were trapped and almost had nowhere to go. Fortunately, the heavens did not kill me, a big man. I found a place in the Han River, where I could penetrate the past and the present, and obtain a magical weapon from thousands of years later. I immediately avoided Cao Chun. "

Speaking of which, it's not too weird.

Jiangdong has always been a hard-hit area for various fantasy stories. Jiangdong's ability to communicate with gods and predict the future is just a basic operation.

It's just that Guan Ping was able to run for a thousand years in the physical body and get a magic weapon, which made Sun Quan a little bit dissatisfied.

He had inquired from Zhuge Liang for a long time before but found nothing. He thought that one of these two people kept his mouth shut, and the other was talking about ghosts. They obviously didn't want to tell me the truth.

But Sun Quan thought about it, if he could have an adventure, he would definitely not want to tell others.

The smile on his face didn't diminish at all, he raised his hand to add a glass of wine to Guan Ping, and said with a smile:

"There are still such adventures, you must take me there in the future, and see what will happen after those thousand years."

Having said this, Sun Quan clapped his hands and smiled again:

"I don't know which emperor will be in charge after a thousand years, how will future generations comment on Brother Yu?"

Uh……

Guan Ping didn't know how to describe the weird "devil" after thousands of years. Jia Liangcai and Yun Shanshan didn't mention which emperor was in power. Guan Ping didn't know how to answer for a while, and subconsciously thought of What Huang Si once said.

He is invincible with a big sword, isn't it almost 2000 years since he was killed by Sun Quan?

Sun Quan, is this the person in front of you, right?

Speaking of this, Guan Ping only felt a surge of alcohol, and his eyes were blurred, so he couldn't help smiling wryly:
"Brother Zhongmou, I can't bear the strength of alcohol. Let's talk about this matter at another time."

A cold light flashed in Sun Quan's eyes, but his expression was still gentle: "I heard Bo Yan talk about Tanzhi's drinking capacity a long time ago... Hehe, man, you should practice hard after this drink. Come, help Tanzhi to rest."

A few servants supported Guan Ping to get up, the smile on Sun Quan's face froze a little bit, and then disappeared.

"A thousand years later..." He smacked his lips and slowly stood up with support.

Chen Wu walked to Sun Quan's side silently, Sun Quan nodded and said:
"Prepare the boat, go and see it in a few days——I'll go in person."

Chen Wu's thick eyebrows raised, he was quite entangled for a moment:
"Your Majesty, don't go. Guan Ping's words are quite absurd. If you don't work hard, I'm afraid you will be ridiculed. And it's too close to the place where Cao's army is stationed. If there are some thieves in ambush, I'm afraid..."

Sun Quan waved his hand: "I also led troops in battle and shot tigers myself. I can do what my elder brother can do, so why not be afraid. Well, don't tell others about this, especially don't let Gong Jin and him You Ping knows it, let alone Zhang Gong.”

Chen Wu nodded helplessly:
"Then listen to His Majesty's orders."

·
Before Guan Ping fell asleep, he was still thinking about whether Sun Quan took such care of himself as a martial artist was a bit too much, but when Sun Quan officially hosted a banquet to welcome Guan Ping and Lu Yi's triumphant return the next day, Guan Ping knew that his "popularity" in Jiangdong had already arrived. How far.

At the banquet scene, Guan Ping stretched his neck to search for Zhuge Liang. Several gray-haired old men surrounded him without any explanation.

"Hahahaha, so strong!" The old man said with a smile, "Old man Cheng Pu, for the sake of the princes in Jiangdong, thank you little Guan Gong."

Guan Ping was too busy saying what to do, but Cheng Pu had a serious expression on his face:
"How can you not do it? Bandit Cao is so powerful that he sweeps the world and no one can beat him. He has 20 troops, and no one in the world dares to fight. Boy, where did you get the courage to attack Jiangling? I admire you!"

Another dark-faced man, Han Dang, also nodded vigorously:

"What I'm talking about is that when I followed Wu Chenghou in the hundred battles, Fang Ding Jiangdong, someone heard that Cao's army was about to surrender, how could we just let it go.

It's just that everyone said that Cao Jun is difficult to compete, so I can't wait to say more.Fortunately, Xiao Guan Gong went to the tiger's den in person and defeated the powerful enemy, which stabilized Jiangdong's morale. Now no one dares to say a word of surrender.

I must have a few more drinks with you in a while, don't shirk it. "

Guan Ping was about to say a few words of modesty when he heard an excited and slightly crazy voice:
"Here comes the good wine!"

Everyone turned their heads in unison, only to see a white-faced man in his forties walking quickly. He was smiling all over his face, and he couldn't help but hold Guan Ping's palm tightly, holding up a copper scorpion in one hand, and grinning loudly:

"Little Guan Gong bravely won the three armies and defeated the northern bandits. Sun was delighted to hear that, so I came here to offer a toast to little Guan Gong!"

Seeing this person, Cheng Pu and Han Dang stepped aside subconsciously, saluted a little as a respectful gesture, but there was a bit of vigilance in his eyes.

The turquoise wine in the bronze goblet in his hand exuded a charming aroma, and he sent it to Guan Ping.

Guan Ping saw Cheng Pu and Han Dang's expressions changed slightly, and suddenly a person's name came to mind.

Sun Ben!

Liu Dun once talked about his old master Sun Fu on the boat, saying that Sun Fu's eldest brother, Sun Ben, is a character, but the two brothers actually have a heart for Cao Cao, especially Sun Ben married his daughter to Cao Zhang.

Many years ago, Sun Fu was imprisoned by Sun Quan and died because of his conspiracy with Cao Cao, but Sun Quan couldn't kill all his relatives, so he was always very polite to Sun Ben.

But just like everyone under Cao Cao knew that Xu Shu was not a good person, Sun Quan's subordinates also knew that Sun Ben was not a good person.

When Cheng Pu and others heard how excited Guan Ping had won, Sun Ben felt so sad—Sun Quan was just his cousin, and Sun Fu was his younger brother who raised a mother and compatriots himself.When his younger brother died, Sun Ben was so heartbroken that he almost went crazy, and all his hopes of revenge were pinned on Cao Cao. Guan Ping ruined his good deed, so he simply went all out.

I want you to die today!

With fine wine right in front of him, Guan Ping could almost see the madness and hatred in Sun Ben's eyes.

"Drink, why don't you drink?" Sun Ben's smile became more ferocious, he held up the bronze scorpion with his left hand, and his right hand had secretly touched the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Cheng Pu and the others didn't wear swords, and they were a little flustered for a while.

Guan Ping pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

He respectfully reached out to take the bronze goblet, his expression suddenly became extraordinarily solemn:
"This time we were able to defeat Cao's bandits, thanks to the close planning of General Sun and our lord Liu Yuzhou. Mr. Zhang was in the middle to dispatch them. The soldiers from the east of the Yangtze River borrowed troops to help them provide food. Erlang's soldiers marched forward. Boyan Ziren worked hard day and night. As for Ping, it is only Did some tiny things that were part of his job."

"These elders, relatives and friends, and fellow robe Lang Ping have already thanked them one by one, but there is only one person who has not yet thanked him, but he has to thank him - that is the Son of Heaven!

Without the protection of the Son of Heaven, how could everything go well and Ping return calmly?At today's banquet, I was given wine by the elders, and I was apprehensive in my heart. I propose to respect the emperor first. "

As he said that, Guan Ping slowly bowed to the north. Under the astonished eyes of everyone, he quietly sprinkled the wine in his hand on the ground, then slowly clenched his fists, and said loudly:
"Big man wins!"
