"This kind of pill is used to control the corpse. After swallowing it, it is unconscious and cannot feel any pain. It only knows to follow the order and charge into battle. It would rather die than take a step back. The reason why Mahayana Buddhism won the battle is all due to this medicine."

When the winter solstice handed over the bag of pills, Xu You took out a pill, put it on his nose and smelled it. It had a slightly strange stench, but it seemed to be filled with fragrance. He said, "Qingming understands all kinds of strange poisons in the world, and studies it for him. There is no need to imitate it. Try to find out the pharmacology and find a way to crack it. If a person in Qingming cannot do it, he will be called Fengdongshan. He can create mountain ghosts and is also a master of poisoning techniques. There is also Wen Ruquan, a miracle doctor, who is also quite attainable for poisoning. He has gathered the power of Qingming, Fengdongshan and Wen Ruquan. If he cannot crack the secret medicine of Fagui, then no one else in the world can crack it."

Zhan Wenjun said: "I will find a secluded and safe place immediately and let the three men concentrate on developing the antidote."

After talking about the main thing, the Winter Solstice suddenly stammered and stopped talking. Zhan Wenjun asked strangely: "What's wrong?"

"I...I want to ask Xiaolang and his wife for a leave?"

"Hmm? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Zhan Wenjun hurried over and grabbed Dong Xie's hand and asked with concern.

The Winter Solstice drooped his head, his little face turned slightly red, and said, "No, I just want to take the time to go back to Qiantang and get a few items of winter clothes."

Zhan Wenjun looked at the winter solstice, and the girl was running around for thousands of miles, covered in dust and wrinkled clothes. After coming back, she was anxious to report and didn't even have time to wash up. She said apologetically: "It's all my fault. I need something. I just buy a new one in Jinling. If there is not enough money, I will withdraw it for you..."

"Enough, enough!"

There is no upper limit on the annual funding of the Secret Government, and the allocated to Rashen is also an astronomical figure. How could the Winter Solstice be short of money? She blushed and didn't know how to explain it. Xu You helped her rescue her and said, "Okay, I'll give you an eight-day rest. I'll go back to Qiantang to meet my friends. I'll rush back to Jinling on the 18th of the first lunar month. There are still many things to do next. The Secret Government cannot do without you."

The State of Chu implemented ten-day breaks, one day off for ten days, a total of 36 days off for the whole year, and another 47 days off for holidays, including seven days off for the New Year and winter days, plus 30 days off for the field and clothing leave, the total number is as high as 113 days.

The General's Mansion also implements such a snooze regulations, but in the past two years, military affairs are busy, and there are few snoozes. The Winter Solstice is responsible for the secret office and there are no holidays. Xu You is willing to give her eight days off, which is an exceptional preferential treatment.

Zhan Wenjun was a little confused. When the Winter Solstice quit, he smiled and said, "Is there anything I don't know?"

"It's time for the winter solstice to get married. She has followed me around for battle over the years, and the lifelong affairs have not yet been settled. Do you want to be the mistress? " Xu You gently slapped his ape's arms, hugged Zhan Wenjun in his arms, and teased in a low voice.

"Ah?" Zhan Wenjun raised his head slightly, pushed Xu You's chest with both hands, and suppressed the rippling heart caused by the strong masculine aura, and said, "Have you ever thought about it in the Winter Solstice?"

"Well, when I was in Chang'an, I found that she would communicate with Shen Meng in private. I guess the two of them had feelings for each other, but I didn't know if they pointed out..."

"Shen Meng?"

Zhan Wenjun said worriedly: "Although Shen Meng's family is in decline, he is also from a gentry family. Now he is the supervisor of Xuanji Academy. Everyone is from the world's great scholars. If he gets married to the Winter Solstice, he may attract criticism from many scholars!"

"This is easy to solve!" Xu You had obviously considered it a long time ago and said, "You have recognized the Dongshen as your sister, and your surname is Zhan. From then on, she is also a gentry member. She will marry whoever she wants, and there is no need to let outsiders point fingers."

The difference between family members is still like a gap. If you can't get through it, you have to be careful of overwhelming public opinion abuse. In particular, the law clearly stipulates that any gentry and non-gentry marriage will automatically lose the qualifications of the gentry. This item alone will discourage many people.

Fortunately, Shen Meng is not a prominent family. If the position of the Xuanji Academy Supervisory Office was not so noticed by too many people, he wouldn't have to be so careful.

"Well, when the winter solstice comes back from Qiantang, I will change her name and book...ah, no, husband..."

In the next few days, Xu You attended many banquets, mostly belonging to his camp, as well as Yu Liu and other aristocratic families who had followed the army to the west. Instead, Xie Xiwen's old party members did not send any invitations.

This shows a different style of dealing with the world. The family is focused on a century of life. The temporary opponent may also be friends in the future. The disputes in the court will not be completely interrupted, and the private contact will not be completely interrupted. They will make a move without breaking it. But the old party did not have such long-term considerations. They are not my party, or the enemy. They not only have to be bad and defeated, but also have to step on them forever.

On that night, Liu Quan was hosting guests in the Liu Family Courtyard next to Yanque Lake. The courtyard was built with platforms and pools, streams lingered, pavilions and pavilions, and the heights were scattered. The most magnificent building was Jitian Tower, which was more than ten feet high. The building was decorated with pearls, agate, amber, rhinoceros horns, ivory, etc., which was luxurious and beautiful.

The extremely spacious bamboo hall is located by the lake, without curtains, but surrounded by hundreds of beautiful singers, plus a burning fire plate, making the hall warm as spring.

This is the favorite method of "prostitutes to keep warm" by the extravagant family. It also corresponds to "scented skin to keep warm", which means putting hands and feet into the beautiful woman's arms and using body temperature to drive away the cold.

There were more than thirty people sitting in the seat, including Tan Xiaozu, Yuan Can, Zhu Yi, Zhang Ji, Gu Yun, Cao Qing, Shanzong and other civil and military officials who were familiar to Xu You, as well as high-ranking officials and nobles from the Three Provinces and Six Ministrys who were not familiar with each other, as well as some famous scholars who were good at poetry and painting and were well-versed in the Five Classics.

Liu Quan is now a third-rank subordinate minister, and he doesn't have much real power. He could not invite these big names, but his banquet represented the Secretary of the Central Secretariat Liu Ning and the Liu family, so he gave him this face and came to the banquet.

According to grade and military merit, Tan Xiaozu should be the first of the guests, but he firmly refused and said, "Where is the general, how can he be so arrogant?"

Xu You smiled and said, "I am not a general anymore."

If the implication is not in his position, don’t show off this.

Cao Qing also said beside him: "I don't think it will take long before the general will resume. In addition to the general, I am the first to be dissatisfied with others in charge of military affairs."

People around him started to make a fuss at the same time, and Xu You bowed with a wry smile, saying, "San Si is still investigating the assassination of the angel in Kuragaki. Don't cause trouble for me anymore. Go, everyone will go back to you, drink and enjoy the fun tonight, and don't talk about business."

Seeing that Tan Xiaozu and Cao Qing still refused, Xu You said helplessly: "This is an order!"

Tan Xiaozu and Cao Qing looked at each other and smiled, closed their stomachs and raised their hands to salute, and said, "One!"

At this moment, a man suddenly walked to the top, unbuttoned his robe, took off his cloth boots, sat half-lying half-lying, and said with satisfaction, "Since you are humble, I will refuse."

Cao Qing was furious and said, "You!"

Tan Xiaozu smiled, pulled Cao Qing to the man's head and sat down, then turned his head to Xu You and said, "This is Pei Zhi, a crazy guest in Jingzhou. He has always despised etiquette and law, but he is very talented and good at drinking. It is said that he is not drunk for a thousand cups. He has the nickname of the wine fairy. Unexpectedly, he came to Jinling and became a guest of honor for the Liu family."

Xu You looked at Pei Zhi with sparse hair and blind eyes. He was obviously hollowed out by the wine and color, but his expression was quite arrogant. He knew that such a person was just a stinky dog ​​shit, and he was arrogant and unrestrained. He did not feel ashamed, but was proud. He could not get rid of him when he was touched, so he no longer paid attention to this person.

Gu Yun and others also came over to say hello to Xu You, but without waiting for a few chats, they were pulled away by others and then they gathered together in circles.

Such a banquet is more like a social occasion in later generations. Xu You is not in a state of suspicion and is in a suspicious place. Many people smiled at him, but they were not allowed to talk. Zhu Yi came over and said a few auspicious words. Zhu's status in the court is a bit awkward because of Zhu Zhi, Zhu Xin and Zhu Rui. Zhu Li stayed in Qinzhou, Zhu Zhi was imprisoned, and Zhu Xin followed Xu You again. The boss Zhu Ren had to stay in Fuchun, so he could only let Zhu Yi go to Beijing and take the title of Sanqi Changshi to give Zhu a sense of existence in Jinling.

Zhu Yi was eager for quick success and instant benefits, and Xu You didn't like to have a deep relationship with him, but Zhu was a die-hard ally. If he didn't give him face, he had to give Zhu Ren and Zhu Li a face. After a while of social engagement, Zhu Yi accused him and joined Gu Yun and his circle to expand his connections.

Before she could have time to purify herself, the Shanzong sat sneakily and said, "I always feel uneasy, as if someone is peeping at me..."

Shanzong set fire to Liu Quan's treasure ship, and almost ran into Liu Quan's daughter Liu Hongyu, who was chased for hundreds of miles after taking a bath. Although time has changed and the past is not worth mentioning, Shanzong has always avoided Liu's family in Jinling, not because he is afraid, but because he is worried about running into Liu Hongyu.

This time, Shanzong did not plan to come, but the servant who sent the invitation specifically told me that Xu You would also attend, so that Shanzong must make any effort to ask for it. Shanzong is not easy to refuse. Even Xu You can invite him. If he can't invite you, do he look down on Liu or Xu You?

But after coming, he felt uncomfortable all over. It seemed that a gaze was staring at him secretly, and he quickly complained to Xu You. Xu You said angrily: "Just like you, who would be bored to peep at you? This is just a thief. Liu Quan didn't know what you did back then, so why are you afraid of?"

"I have met Liu Hongyu, will she recognize me?"

Xu You deliberately teased him and said, "This is possible! You should be careful. Liu Hongyu has not married yet, so maybe she can't swallow this breath."

Shan Zong drooped his face and sighed, as if he was sitting on pins and needles. Xu You held back his smile and said, "Don't talk or go around in a random way except drinking and eating. After eating, leave. Don't come to the Liu family's banquet in the future."

Shanzong shouted, "I heard that the general is coming, can you refuse?"

"The person who sent the invitation told you what I was coming?"

"Um!"

"Thinking about it this way, there is something wrong with it!"

Xu You was almost sure that this was Liu Hongyu's trick behind the scenes. The Shan Sect was a man who came out of the mountain of corpses and blood. Although he failed to enter the fifth-grade mountain gate, his perception of danger was not weaker than that of the little master. If he felt that someone was peeping, it must be Liu Hongyu.

"Anyway, I've come here, so I'll adapt to the situation. Even if I recognize it, it doesn't matter. It's not a hatred that cannot be resolved. I've seen Liu Hongyu, who is quite chivalrous and shouldn't care too much about the small grudges of the past."

Xu You's words make sense, but I just forgot one thing. Sometimes women understand the truth very well, but they don't reason with you.

When Shanzong thought about it, he immediately calmed down, ate and drank, and could see the beautiful women singing and dancing that they could not see outside. The atmosphere gradually became warm.

As the master, Liu Quan toasted five times. Strangely, Pei Zhi, who claimed to be unintoxicated for a thousand cups, did not drink a single cup. There was also Guangluqing Su Yichang, who knew that he would not drink.

"Come here, offer wine to Guangluqing!"

Immediately, a beautiful singer came out, holding a white jade cup in a slender hand, knelt beside Su Yaqiu, raising it up timidly, which was really adorable, and said, "Please drink this cup!"

The singer just played a song, and her skills were amazing. Even if she went to the Qinhuai River to open a pleasure boat, she should be sought after by thousands of people, but in the Liu family, she could only be one of the ordinary singers among hundreds of singers.

Su Yichang was very kind. He took the wine, put it on the table, and helped the singer up again, and smiled and said, "I have never drunk alcohol. Everyone knows that Mr. Liu spared me, let alone the beauty's jade hand, which is used to play the piano, why bother with the turbidity of wine?"

Guangluqing was from the third rank and the same rank as Liu Quan. However, he did not drink alcohol because he did not give Liu Quan face, but because he did not like drinking by nature. Even if the emperor gave him a banquet, he never broke the precepts.

"Everyone enjoys everything tonight. If Guangluqing doesn't drink it, it will be a big disaster. What's the use of keeping a beauties who offer wine?" Liu Quan's eyes were red, and he was obviously drunk and said, "Guard, pull her down and chop her down, cut off her hands and feet, and cook it for Guangluqing..."

The singer collapsed on the ground, but did not beg for mercy. It was thought that she knew Liu Quan’s hobby, and it was useless to ask for it. She just looked at Su Yitong pitifully and wanted to cry.

Su Yichang didn't expect that Liu Quan was so cruel. After hesitating for a moment, the two guards stepped forward and pulled the singer out of the hall like dragging a pig and dog. Su Yichang sighed and said, "Wait, I'll drink this glass of wine!"

In front of everyone, Su Yichang, who never drank, drank the glass of wine with a bitter face and coughed repeatedly, which immediately attracted a loud cheer. Although Gu Yun and a few others were very dissatisfied with Liu Quan's frequent killing, they did not interfere because the singer was a private property and allowed the owner to punish and scold him. Others could not control it and it was difficult to control it.

Liu Quan laughed and said, "Lu Wenyu, Chen Sida, what do you say?"

Lu Wenyu, a doctor in the Duke's Mansion, stood up, bowed in admiration, and said, "The Minister won, 50,000 yuan, and I will offer it tomorrow!"

Only then did everyone realize that Liu Quan made a bet with these people that as long as Su Yichang broke the drinking habit today, he would bet 50,000 yuan per person. The money was not much, but it was a matter of being spread. Yes, with the life of the singer, Su Yichang broke the habit, not only would he not harm Liu Quan's reputation, but would be circulated as an elegant thing.

This fucking era!
