Chapter 68 Mysterious Gift
At the end of the trestle bridge in Jiuzhou Pond, Chen Xuanli stood solemnly under the lights, as if standing in a statue.
The awakened person is the awakened person, he is him. As long as he is in one day, it is impossible to hand over the mission of protecting the emperor to others.
The lights were shaking in front of him, and the imperial guards guarding the passage gave way. In a blink of an eye, a middle-aged man came to Chen Xuanli.
The man looked anxious, and quietly lit up the token, and lowered his voice: "General Chen, Shadow Department urgently reported that he wanted to meet the saint!"
Chen Xuanli said coldly: "The saint has no time, so I will talk about it tomorrow if I have something to do."
The man was about to argue, but when he saw Chen Xuanli's cold face as cold as a rock, he had to swallow the words in his mouth.
After a moment of entanglement, he took out an exquisite wooden tube and handed it to Chen Xuanli: "General Chen, please hand over the urgent report to the saint, I'm in trouble!"
Chen Xuanli put away the wooden tube expressionlessly, watched the man walk away, and then walked to the dark corner, skillfully removed the mechanism inside the wooden tube, and pulled out a curly note.
Yin soldiers, Yin soldiers.
The traces of Yin soldiers were found around the two capitals and even across the country, and the Yin soldiers also caused many casualties.
In Bingzhou in the north, ghost soldiers appear more frequently, and rumors have spread among the people.
Chen Xuanli couldn't help but sneer. Someone couldn't help but take action. Is it finally going to take action?
Putting away the notes and wooden tubes, Chen Xuanli walked back to the brilliant lights at the bridgehead and stood in a statue.
The Yin soldiers will not disappear overnight, so why would they ruin the saint's interest tonight?
Emperor Li Longji was in great mood tonight. He sat at the large long table and looked at Gao Mang with a smile: "Little Immortal Master, I heard that you have prepared a mysterious gift for me?"
Gao Mang had been waiting for a long time, and then raised a brocade box again and said obediently: "Sage, this is the mysterious gift I have prepared for you."
He is not good at being well-behaved. Can he take the bird on his head and trick the emperor into pointing at this mysterious gift?
After the eunuch presented the brocade box, Li Longji curiously opened the box and took out a transparent glass bottle.
Seeing the emperor showing doubt, Gao Mang immediately said, "Sage, my gift is in the bottle, called the Vulcan Liquid!"
Vulcan liquid?
Whenever he is infected with names like gods and immortals, Li Longji expressed his interest, but he just can't see what kind of "god" method is.
Gao Mang exaggeratedly: "The Vulcan Liquid is derived from the winemaking technique recorded in the ancient Taoist genealogy. I have gathered the power of Wangwushan and restored the secret recipe and successfully brewed it. The process was quite difficult and not worthy of being told by outsiders."
Well, it is not worthy of being told by outsiders, so it must have used Taoist secret techniques.
Everyone's sense of expectation was once again raised a little, and Li Longji was ready to move. This was the first time he had seen such a pure wine.
It’s just that in such an occasion, the emperor dare not drink unverified wine casually.
"Sage, let me try the wine!" The person sitting in the front row stood up. It was Li Shizhi, one of the Eight Immortals who drank.
Li Longji nodded happily and ordered people to open the bottle plug of the glass bottle. Before the wine could be poured out, a strong aroma of wine floated out.
Uh, this fragrance?!
Li Longji couldn't help but sucked his nose greedily, while Li Shizhi's eyes were radiating and moved.
"Sage, please try the wine!" Another Li Tang royal family volunteered to drink, and he was the other one of the Eight Immortals, Prince Li Feng, Ruyang.
Li Longji couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "You flower slave, I know you are the Minister of the Breathing Department."
Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter. Li Feng smiled and not only didn't care, but he was very content.
Li Wen was the eldest son of Ning Wang Li Xian, nicknamed Huanu, but his handsome appearance became a "Huanu". Because good wine also has a nickname "Ziwang", people at that time nicknamed "Ziwang Shangshu".
The eunuch obediently poured out a glass of wine again and handed it to Li Feng.
Li Shizhi and Li Feng looked at each other, first smelled the aroma of the wine vigorously, and then drank the wine in the glass.
Hmm!
The wine entered his throat and suddenly turned into a line of fire and rushed down. The two of them felt hot.
The two of them held their breath with red faces, and after a moment they let out a long smell of alcohol.
Good wine!
What a good wine!
It is worthy of being the Vulcan Liquid!
The blood was boiling, the pores were wide open, and the rich aroma of wine was still filled with the mouth.
Two big drunkards had never drunk such good wine and strong wine. They stood there and shook their heads for a while, and were still savoring them.
Cough cough, cough cough, Li Longji is quit.
What do you mean by two tampers? If it is poisonous, why don’t you kill you?
Li Shizhi reacted and hurriedly bowed to the emperor and said, "Sage..."
Before he could speak, Li Feng said first: "Sage, this Vulcan liquid is weird, Rong Chen wants to try another cup!"
Li Shizhi also reacted and nodded quickly: "It's extreme, it's extremely strange!"
"Get out!" Li Longji said angrily. You two are so intoxicated and addicted. I am blind.
Li Longji was anxious to taste it, but the Vulcan liquid was taken away by Gao Lishi. He smiled and didn't mean to let him drink it at all.
You old guy, okay, then wait a little longer.
Gao Mang felt funny when he looked at it. A killer like Gao Baijiu must work.
In fact, the Tang Dynasty had already had very mature distillation technology. Taoist alchemists often used distillers to extract the essence of flowers and plants, but they never thought that alcohol could be refined. Perhaps people at that time did not realize the existence of alcohol.
Wangwushan has two well-made distillation devices. As early as half a year ago, when Gao Mang was bored, he had already refined some high-altitude wine and sealed it up.
Today, the white wine he presented to the emperor was about fifty degrees, and he specially blended a little plant essence, which was absolutely excellent in terms of alcoholic flavor and taste.
Gao Mang said that he was able to conquer the two drunkards of the Tang Dynasty at the same time.
He looked at the two drunkards who were staring at Gao Lishi reluctantly, and couldn't help but smile: "Sage, I have prepared some ordinary Vulcan liquid for this banquet. Why don't these two try it?"
The two drunkards couldn't help but be overjoyed, and at the same time they looked at the emperor. The other drunkards were the same, with longing in their eyes.
Li Longji smiled and nodded. He didn't mind the little immortal master using the fire god liquid to buy people's hearts. The little clever ghost should have done this.
The servants raised a half-person-high jar and placed it carefully in front of Gao Mang.
Gao Mang was mysterious and made more than a dozen handprints at the wine jar, and muttered something, so he personally removed the mud seal of the wine jar.
As the jar was sealed, the rich aroma of wine suddenly floated out, and many people had already left their saliva when they smelled the smell of wine.
The old troll, He Zhizhang, couldn't help it anymore. He was also one of the Eight Immortals who would drink in the future. He especially liked strong wine. How could he miss such a peerless wine as the Vulcan Liquid?
It didn't matter if this taste was done, and it was unknowingly half a pound. It was not until everyone started to make a fuss that the three drunkards reluctantly put down their wine glasses and staggered back to their seats.
"What a wine!" He Zhizhang shouted loudly and fell on the wooden table, causing a snoring sound.
Chapter completed!
