Chapter 53: Get drunk first, then set fire!

Because Gao Xianda has a backpack, his weapons are not exposed, and he wears a dress for dinner.

James was fully equipped, similar to the hunting dogs and others behind Gao Xianda. At this time, he seemed to be Gao Xianda's guard.

Because Gao Xianda is the king's younger brother and James is the king's brother-in-law, although Mrs. He'an has been praying in the cemetery for many years and staying with his dead husband and son, now she has to come out and receive Gao Xianda and others in accordance with normal etiquette.

She was already an old lady, because all the people who were important to her were dead, so she seemed to have seen through life and death, and her face was full of indifference.

Even when facing Gao Xianda and James, he only barely squeezed out a smile.

Gao Xianda knew there was an ambush in advance, so he noticed Mrs. He'an's strangeness, but he didn't say it out loud.

With the main characters sitting down, the banquet began.

First, Mrs. He'an held a simple opening ceremony, and then her wise butler began to praise Gao Xianda, James and all the knights here.

Most of the people here are knight-born, and even free riders and hired knights have received relevant education and are well aware of aristocratic etiquette.

Only Qiaoli and the twenty northern people had very vulgar living habits. Even Qiaoli, as the captain of Winterfell, had never left the northern border in his life and had never seen any great world.

They did not know the etiquette of the nobles, nor did they know how to say those beautiful words, and they seemed out of place in this banquet.

They were tired and hungry, and could only stare at the barbecue and wine on the table, waiting for the owner to finish his long toast and start to feast on his feast.

"There is a very likely occurrence of arson and poisoning." Gao Xianda thought, "Then it should be to poison first and then set fire."

Gao Xianda picked up the wine glass on the table, poured half a glass of wine, and took a sip.

Well, it's not poisonous. But the wine is also added with ingredients, and the alcohol content is very high.

Since the "Gift from Dionysus", Gao Xianda is very sensitive to alcohol content and can taste it with a touch of mouth.

It seems that the contractors are reluctant to let the precious poison used to poison Joffrey to kill all these 200 people.

Poison is a coward's weapon, but alcohol is not.

Died from an accidental fire due to excessive alcoholism, it will only be considered as God's will.

Just like the tragedy of the Midsummer Hall back then, even if it is noble and powerful, Sir Duncan like the "tall" and Prince Duncan, they will die tragically in the fire. But no one knows what it is.

"It turns out that they are doing this abacus." Gao Xianda usually wears "Gift from Baccarat", so that he can make various beverages containing alcohol at any time.

He gently brushed the wine glass in front of him and the big wine jug next to him, and it turned into ordinary low-altitude wine.

Gao Xianda stood up, picked up the wine glass, and interrupted the long discussion of the He'an family's butler.

"Our good knights have more important things to do tomorrow," said Gao Xianda. "Let us have a feast today and enjoy it all! For King Robert!"

"Okay!" the hungry people raised their glasses and cheered, "For King Robert!"

After saying that, they all raised the wine in front of them and drank it all in one go.

Even if the wine is added, a glass of wine is only equivalent to the original three cups. These big and thick men will not pour it in just one cup.

Next, the banquet began. In addition to what was already on the table, another delicacy was served one after another.

Gao Xianda tasted all the dishes in front of him and every dish that came up from the back to make sure there was no other poison in it.

Because Mrs. He'an, the housekeeper, and the Knights of He'an who are responsible for the lively atmosphere on each table also have to eat together, there is no toxin in the food.

Gao Xianda nodded to Dong Xie and the others, and Dong Xie and others started to eat.

For a long time, the subordinates were the masters to test the poison, and this work was regarded as the most humble and shameful job, and generally it would not be held by the knight. But now, as the lord, Gao Xianda was willing to test the poison for his warriors.

The hunting dogs were shocked.

He poured the newly poured glass of wine into his mouth in one gulp, trying to suppress his surprise. But he was surprised to find that the wine in his mouth changed and became as light as water. Although it also had the flavor of wine, it was not very energetic.

The hunting dog was a little angry and thought that it was the people from the He'an family who looked down on him. He picked up the wine glass and wanted to throw it off, but it was held down by Gui Mei.

"After the battle, you have the opportunity to drink." Gui Mei said.

Only then did the hunting dog realize that it was the one they did.

"Okay, I would rather drink the vodka given by the adults." The hunting dog sat down helplessly, picked up the knife and fork, and began to compete with a large piece of roasted pork chop in front of him.

In order to make the people present drink more, there are people sent by Ha Anjia to liven up the atmosphere on each table.

Gao Xianda was very clear that there must be some contractors among these people. Gao Xianda observed carefully and found that these people were very skilled in pouring wine.

The wine they drank and the other people did not come from the same wine pot, that is, they drank drinks with relatively low alcohol content. The purpose was just to get everyone drunk.

Mrs. He'an couldn't drink wine, and after a glass of wine, her face turned red. But his housekeeper was very angry and sat next to Gao Xianda with a pot of new wine, singing praises with a flattering look on his face.

Of course Gao Xianda knew what he wanted to do, but Gao Xianda was not afraid. He drank a large pot of wine with great shame.

"This is how a good man drinks!" Gao Xianda said with a big laugh.

People say that Renly is exactly the same as Robert when he was young. Gao Xianda also had the style of a king when he was drinking.

Then Gao Xianda personally brought a pot of new wine from the side and placed it in front of the butler. Without saying a word, he looked at him with a smile.

The housekeeper quickly stated that he was actually not good at drinking.

Then the ferocious hunting dog and Gui Mei stood up and stared at him with their eyes.

Whether it was the severe burn on the hunting dog's face or the ugly face of Gui Mei, they were all very scary. The butler knew at a glance that these were two reckless men who killed people with disagreement.

What's important is that although the housekeeper is of high authority and has a great position in Herrenburg, he is not a nobleman himself. If these two men cut him off in the name of his offending Lord Renly, he would have no way to reason.

So he could only grit his teeth and start drinking the pot of wine that Gao Xianda put down one by one.

But in this pot of wine, Gao Xiandajia had more ingredients than his!
