Chapter 257 The Artifact of Blackouts: Mixing Wine
"Eat? Great!" Looking at Xiong Er's honest and simple appearance, Chu Chen's face immediately lit up with a smile.
"Yes, yes, let's go eat. I'm a little hungry too."
After saying that, he enthusiastically pulled Xiong Er up, walked out of the alley, and headed towards the street.
Just then, Mu Zheng arrived with his men.
Seeing Xiong Er with Chu Chen, he was immediately dumbfounded.
Xiong Er stepped forward and shouted at the soldiers, "What? Still want to fight?"
Seeing this, Chu Chen quickly pulled Xiong Er back: "It's alright, I know it well, Brother Xiong Er, I'll handle it!"
After saying that, he walked towards Mu Zheng.
"What's wrong? My precious guest from the Great Bear Kingdom, Xiong Er, is here. What do you want?"
As she spoke, she walked up to Mu Zheng.
Then, behind Xiong Er's back, he quietly said to Mu Zheng, "Brother Mu, don't start a conflict to avoid further harm. This person has accomplices."
Mu Zheng understood Chu Chen's meaning perfectly after hearing this.
He immediately burst into laughter: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! You are distinguished guests from the Great Bear Kingdom. Please make yourselves at home."
After saying that, he led a group of people and they dispersed instantly.
"Haha, you're not bad, buddy. You've saved us from trouble and made us miss our meal."
Xiong Er was pleased to see that Chu Chen had resolved the matter so quickly.
Chu Chen smiled but didn't say anything. He then led the two of them toward a restaurant.
"Waiter, bring me a portion of all your best dishes. This gentleman is hungry."
After saying that, he led the two of them into a private room.
"Brother, let me make this clear first, I gave all my money to the madam at the brothel!"
Seeing Chu Chen so generously serving all his food right away, Xiong Er felt a little embarrassed.
Chu Chen chuckled upon hearing this; this guy shared the same hobby as that drunkard.
Moreover, he was the kind of person who would stop at nothing to pursue his hobby, but this drunkard was much happier than him.
As a super VIP of Red Romance, when has he ever spent any money?
So he quickly said, "Brother Xiong Er, what are you saying? How can I let you pay for this in Daxia?"
"Haha, then thank you in advance, brother."
Xiong Er never asked either of their names from beginning to end, but because Chu Chen said he knew his brother Xiong Da, he enthusiastically called him brother.
Soon, a table full of dishes was served.
Chu Chen then excused himself and went outside, waving his hand to reveal a case of a blended liquor of unknown brand.
After turning back, he placed the entire box on the table.
Chen Qingxuan has always been inseparable from wine, and he has his own preferred wine, so he didn't even glance at it.
Chu Chen deftly pulled out a bottle and opened it; instantly, a fragrant aroma wafted out.
Xiong Er sniffed, staring excitedly at the wine in Chu Chen's hand.
"Brother Xiong Er, good food deserves good wine. This is a special brew I made, would you like to try it?"
"Haha, brother, you're too kind. How could I refuse? Have a taste."
After saying that, he picked up the cup and held it out.
Seeing this, Chu Chen quickly poured him a full glass.
Xiong Er picked up the wine glass and immediately poured it down his throat.
In an instant, a spicy taste filled his throat, with a hint of alcohol.
He felt the alcohol pricking his tongue like needles.
But in an instant, he felt a little dizzy.
In this era where low-alcohol beverages are prevalent, Xiong Er had never tasted such strong liquor before.
He slammed his hand on the table and exclaimed, "Haha, good wine, good wine! Have some more!"
After saying that, she handed the cup to Chu Chen again.
Chu Chen quickly poured him another glass and picked up the bottle to take a look.
Originating from Maozi Town, crafted with meticulous care, with an alcohol content of 53%.
After reading this, I couldn't help but twitch my lips. This guy probably wouldn't even recognize his own father if he drank too much.
Xiong Er got into the swing of things and started eating right away.
He ate a mouthful of wine and a mouthful of meat, his mouth greasy with oil, and without being polite to Chu Chen, he grabbed the bottle and started chugging.
This action made even Chen Qingxuan, who was addicted to alcohol, twitch at the corner of his mouth.
The case contained six bottles, but Chen Qingxuan and Chu Chen didn't drink a single drop; Xiong Er drank them all.
By the time he got to the third bottle, Xiong Er started to let loose.
They started boasting about their Great Bear Kingdom.
By the time he drank the fourth bottle, he feared no one in the world except his brother, Xiong Da.
By the fifth bottle, Xiong Da was actually nothing special. If he put in some effort, Xiong Da wouldn't be a match for him. If the two brothers joined forces, the monarch of the Great Bear Kingdom would have abdicated long ago.
By the sixth bottle, Xiong Er, with tears streaming down his face, started talking about how, when they were little, there was a bald boy who always bullied him and his brother.
Seeing that he had said enough, Chu Chen interrupted him, "Brother Xiong Er, are you here in Daxia to do business?"
"Do...do business? Who's so bored as to say that our Great Bear Kingdom's so-called monarch promised your Great Xia's Chi Yanfei to capture Great Xia's prince."
"Don't speak, listen to me. My brother is the number one warrior in our Great Bear Kingdom. I dare say that no one in Great Xia can beat him."
Chu Chen and Chen Qingxuan exchanged a glance: I didn't say anything either, I was just watching your performance.
"This time, you came to Great Xia just to capture a prince? If you ask me, we should just send troops south and wipe out the Great Xia emperor's stronghold."
"And that Chi Yanfei is a fool too. He thinks the Great Bear Kingdom will help him, and he even wants to be emperor. Right now, he's in his house in the western suburbs of Andu, dreaming big."
"I'm telling you all, but don't go out and tell anyone. On the third day of next month, after we capture that prince, we'll head straight for the capital. Then, under the pretext of threatening the Great Xia Emperor, my brother will launch a surprise attack from the shadows and seize the Emperor in one fell swoop. Our Great Bear Kingdom's army is already on high alert in the north. As long as we control the Emperor, taking over Great Xia will be a piece of cake."
After saying that, Xiong Er had no more strength left, so he lay down on the table and fell fast asleep.
After listening, Chu Chen exchanged a glance with Chen Qingxuan.
Then Chu Chen took out his walkie-talkie and ordered his men to carry Xiong Er into an inn.
After agreeing on their terms with the innkeeper, they turned and headed towards Mu Zheng's city lord's mansion.
Upon seeing the two arrive, Mu Zheng quickly stepped forward to greet them.
Chu Chen explained the situation to him, and Mu Zheng frowned: "Brother Chu, this matter is extremely urgent, I must inform His Majesty immediately."
"It's alright, I'll inform you. What you need to do now is to keep a close eye on the movements of the Tongtian Divine Sect in the western suburbs of Andu. If anything happens, discuss it with me immediately."
After discussing with Mu Zheng for a while, Chu Chen led Chen Qingxuan out of the city lord's mansion and found an inn to stay in.
Inside the inn, Chu Chen took out a walkie-talkie and recounted the whole story to Zhou Shixun.
After hearing this, Zhou Shixun slammed his hand on the table: "Zhou Shiji, are you stupid? Our ancestors worked so hard to build this empire, and you actually think about joining forces with foreign powers to do the work for others."
"In that case, how can you expect me to spare your life out of brotherhood?"
