place to play chess

This is the critical moment. The chessboard is intertwined with black and white, and there is me among you, and you among me.

I saw one of them pick up a black stone and make a "click" sound, and the other person immediately turned pale and stared at the chessboard.

"Accepted"

The person holding the black piece took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his head, then said to the person opposite him, cupping his hands.

The person opposite could afford to lose. Although he was temporarily depressed, he immediately cheered up and bowed his hands in a polite manner.

"Brother, you are good at chess, but I lost next time."

At this moment, Cai Yong came over with a smile on his face.

"Congratulations to my nephew, this master of chess belongs to my nephew. What is my nephew's name?"

When the man saw Cai Yong coming, he stood up quickly and saluted respectfully.

"Junior Du Yong and Du Zizhong have met Cai Gong."

"A good nephew doesn't need to be polite"

Then Cai Yong announced to everyone:

"Today's chess game, I will honor Du Yong and Du Zizhong."

"Congratulations to brother Zizhong"

Everyone congratulated him one after another.

At this point in the meeting, it was already midday, indeed noon.

Li Zhi looked up at the sun in the sky and waved to Guo De in the distance.

When Guo De saw him greeting him, he ran over all the way.

"Master, what do you want me to do?"

"Hurry and get the canopy that has been prepared and put it up. Don't let the sun burn everyone."

"Here"

Guo De responded and led some servants to put hundreds of canopies behind everyone and set them up one by one.

After the canopy was set up, Li Zhi stood in front of the stage and cleared his throat.

"Everyone, please listen to the next words."

After everyone calmed down, Li Zhi continued:

"I once went to the mountains to play. Due to lack of preparation, I was very hungry and thirsty. Suddenly I smelled the aroma of wine."

After hearing what he said, everyone was very curious and looked at him attentively.

"Following the aroma of wine, I saw a home in the deep mountains. There was an old man in this home who was drinking.

The old man was very hospitable. Seeing someone coming, he felt hungry and thirsty, so he invited me to have a drink with him.

The wine was as clear as water, but the aroma was overflowing. When I came out of the mountain, the old man handed over this method to me.

I don’t dare to enjoy this heavenly wine in private, so I invite you all to come and taste it.

However, this wine is very strong. When you taste it, be careful not to get drunk to death."

At this point, Li Zhizheng straightened his expression and said to everyone.

"If any dear friend can drink a jar of the wine we tasted today without getting drunk, I will provide you with all the wine this person drinks throughout his life."

"Does my nephew really mean what he said?"

At this time, Lu Zhi was on the side, looking at him with a smile and said

"What did Mr. Lu say?

I will never regret my next promise.”

Li Zhi quickly assured Lu Zhi, his eyes full of seriousness.

Lu Zhi heard this and teased Li Zhi with a smile on his face.

"I will leave my future wine to my nephew."

"What do you mean, Mr. Lu? If Mr. Lu likes it, no matter whether Mr. Lu can drink a bottle or not, I will supply all the wine for Mr. Lu in the future."

Hearing this, Lu Zhi smiled, shook his head and stopped talking.

Seeing that he was silent, Li Zhi looked at everyone again. He opened the folding fan and fanned it twice, then closed the folding fan and beat the other hand.

"So I won't say anything more. We will tell you whether you believe it or not when we drink."

"Someone bring the wine!"

When he said this, he seemed to have thought of something and looked at Yuan Shu with a wicked smile.

"An extra altar for Mr. Yuan Shu and Mr. Yuan. Mr. Yuan, have you not forgotten the bet between us?"

"snort!"

Yuan Shu snorted coldly and looked at him with disdain.

"I dare not say 100% of the wine I drank, but 90% of them have been drunk, so what's the point of just a jar of wine?"

“So good”

Li Zhi nodded when he heard this, looked at him jokingly, walked forward and opened the wine jar for him himself.

In an instant, the surroundings were filled with the aroma of wine.

"Brother Highway, please..."

Li Zhi held the closed folding fan, looked at Yuan Shu with a smile, raised his hand, and invited him to drink.

Yuan Shu glanced at him with a livid face, then picked up the wine jar and started drinking.

"Pfft...cough cough cough..."

After only taking a big sip, he squirted the wine in one gulp, coughed crazily, and his face turned red for a moment.

"Brother Qiu, why don't you drink anymore? You just took one sip from this bottle and you can't drink anymore?"

Li Zhi looked at Yuan Shu jokingly.

At this time, Yuan Shu also regained his composure, looked at Li Zhi with a livid face, and finally gritted his teeth and picked up the wine jar.

"Um……"

As if enduring great pain, the veins on Yuan Shu's forehead were exposed, but he still drank heavily.

Li Zhi saw him drinking wine crazily, and his face gradually became serious.

"Bang..."

Yuan Shu finally finished his drink and looked at him with red eyes.

"So...you have finished drinking. You are not...not drunk...you..."

Before he could finish speaking, he fell to the ground.

At this moment, Yuan Shao came over, helped Yuan Shu up and waved to his servant in the distance, asking him to send Yuan Shu home.

"Brother Xing is making fun of his mischief,

When he sobers up on the road tomorrow, let him come and apologize to the wise brother in order to fulfill the bet."

Li Zhi heard this and shook his head.

"Today's remarks are just a joke and should not be taken seriously. As for the bet, it is even more nonsense.

If we have to decide the outcome of the bet, then it will be considered a draw."

Yuan Shao heard this and bowed his hand to Li Zhi.

"My wise brother is so generous, I admire him."

Li Zhi shook his head and did not reply. He looked at Yuan Shu who was being boarded on the carriage in a daze, feeling quite emotional in his heart.

"Sure enough, none of these children from aristocratic families are simple.

Yuan Shu knew that he couldn't drink today, so he tried his best to drink, fearing that he would lose face.

Sure enough, the aristocratic family values ​​face more than life."

Just when he was thinking about these things in his mind, everyone had filled their glasses with wine. Lu Zhi picked up the wine cup, stood up and walked to the stage.

"It is a great joy for all the talents to gather here today, and it is also a great joy for them to select several talents now.

Now that double happiness has arrived, we will drink a cup for this occasion. Dear nephews...drink the holy drink."

Everyone picked up their wine glasses and stood up, facing the four people on the stage.

"I will give a toast to the four elders"

After saying this, everyone drank it all
