Chapter 118 After the Banquet(2/3)
This position is not hereditary, but occupied by those who are capable.
So today the Gong family officially announces the succession of Gong Zi as the head of the family, which is also huge news!
Amidst a burst of cheers.
Gong Zi hurriedly came on stage, and the spotlight focused on him alone. He delivered a congratulatory speech that he had prepared long ago, and his eyes wandered towards the table where the Chun Yuguan people were sitting.
Mu Ya invited others to drink together and not to let unpleasant things stay today.
Everyone exchanges cups for cups.
Gong Zi finished his speech on the main stage and some messy social activities, and hurried back to the wine table. At this moment, he was already drunk, but the guys at the table were not much better than him.
Little girl Li Qingsui and Uncle Gao were not seen.
As the future head of the Li family, it is a special honor to be able to come to this dinner. It is getting late now. After all, it is time for Li Qingsui to leave.
Mu Nan was like a hill, sitting on his back on a chair, snoring loudly.
Luo Yu's consciousness had not yet completely subsided, so she let out a long wine burp, and continued to fight for wine while holding Shen Li's arm.
However, the little iron man Shen Li had already drank under the table and was chewing on the table legs unconsciously, chewing a mouthful of sawdust...
Mu Ya, the "initiator" of all this, fell asleep on the table.
Lu Nanjin, who only took a sip of wine, sat aside, holding a wooden knife and closing his eyes to relax, apparently taking care of the drunk Mu Ya.
Gong Zi's eyes were grateful. He knew very well what kind of person Lu Nanjin was. Regardless of Dadu's status, a swordsman who was obsessed with practicing and never left the courtyard for 24 hours was actually willing to attend his celebration banquet, and for the first time.
It was almost the end of the dinner party.
This is no longer an emotion that can be expressed in just a few words of thanks.
However, he didn't have time to speak yet.
"No need to thank me."
Lu Nanjin said calmly: "I heard from Gu Shen about the engagement."
Gong Zi was startled.
The next moment, he thought of Gu Shen's identity as the "heir of divination"... Gong Zi's eyes were a little complicated. Judging from the situation just now, Brother Gu didn't say anything after he sat down. Could it be that he had predicted it a long time ago?
"Before we are strong enough, we will all encounter similar situations...whatever we want to hold on to, we have to give up." Lu Nanjin said softly: "The world is full of dilemmas. Thinking about it, if I were you, there is nothing I can do.
Better.”
After saying this, she slowly stood up and left the dinner.
Gong Zi sat next to Mu Ya and smiled silently.
A figure sat down next to him.
It was Gu Shen who went to deal with a round of "entertainment".
As a famous person in the Snow Forbidden City, the "goodwill" Gu Shen received at this dinner was no less than that of the protagonist Gong Zi. According to his personality, these conversations could be avoided... But this time, he chose to stay until the dinner was over.
at the end.
"It's really difficult to be the son of a big family."
After Gu Shen sat down, he sighed softly.
This sigh.
Let Gong Zi raise her head.
He smiled bitterly and murmured: "Who says it's not the case..."
The two of them drank a drink in silence.
Ordinary alcohol can hardly stimulate the nerves of an extraordinary person. If you use breathing techniques, the alcohol will be metabolized quickly... As for Shen Li who drank and chewed on the wooden table, it can only be said that human physiques cannot be compared.
Some people are just "gifted" and fall down as soon as they touch it.
"I don't feel anything after drinking this wine..." Gong Zi muttered, looking at the fainting people, "How come these guys are so drunk?"
I wanted to drown my sorrows with wine.
However, after drinking it, I felt more sorrow than sorrow.
"I have something good here."
Gu Shen turned over his hand and took out a small bottle of unknown liquid covered with black cloth.
Gong Zi was startled and looked at Gu Shen with a subtle expression.
"nice one……"
Gu Shen poured some into the wine cup in front of Gong Zi, and then took a sip.
"Is this wine?"
Gong Zi also came for a drink.
The moment it enters the throat, it's a little spicy, like a knife cutting it, followed by warmth all over the body.
And the "dizziness" that hits the spirit!
It is a kind of anesthesia that acts directly on the mind... Even extraordinary beings cannot resolve this huge effect.
After just one drink, Gong Zi's complexion turned red. He held his head, eyes widened in surprise, trying hard to become sober. However, as the alcohol got stronger, he inevitably felt dizzy.
A few seconds later...it was a new kind of "awakeness".
"Lion sobering, Huazhi's top technology, a masterpiece that takes less time to drink." Gu Shen asked calmly, "How does it taste?"
A few seconds later.
I got the following long answer: "Oh..."
Gong Zi looked like she had discovered a new world.
He has never drunk such... wine.
However, he looked at Gu Shen as if he had seen a ghost.
The potency of this wine is so terrifying... Why did Gu Shen drink cup after cup, sip after sip, without stopping?
Judging by the tone and expression, it seems that you are not affected at all?
"It looks like you want to drink to drown your sorrows." Gu Shen said calmly: "But judging from your drinking capacity, it seems that you have almost reached your limit... Do you want another drink?"
Gong Zi gritted her teeth, stretched out a finger, and slowly bent it halfway, "Half cup... give me another half cup."
Another half cup...
He poured out all his anguish: "Damn it... I've never met that bullshit Duke... and I don't want to marry a woman I've never met before..."
Gu Shen listened quietly, and at the same time used his mental power to condense a narrow area to prevent these sounds from spreading outside.
"I told the head of the family to cancel the engagement."
"The Council of Elders said it still needs to be considered...considered?" Gong Zi slapped the table angrily, like a lion, "Those good guys, why do they decide my fate! If anyone disagrees, I will blow them up...
"
At this point, his voice stopped abruptly.
Gu Shen reminded me thoughtfully: "I used my mental power to set up a barrier so that no one can hear me."
"very good!"
Gong Zi gritted his teeth and said: "Whoever disagrees, I will blow his head off..."
It can be heard that the last few words are obviously weak.
"I decided to go out and practice...not just to become stronger."
Stimulated by the alcohol that had sobered him up, he held his head and smiled slowly: "The main reason is that I want to go to Beizhou in person. Regarding the engagement, I will cancel it myself and then come back... I'll kill it first and then tell it. I've seen those old gangsters unhappy for a long time."
By then, what will they do if they find out?"
Gong Zi chuckled and said: "Brother Gu...since you know about the engagement, you must have guessed this step, right?"
Gu Shen looked complicated.
He quickly took a sip of wine to calm down.
"Have courage." Chu Ling said: "This guy is a real madman."
indeed.
The "plan" Gong Zi mentioned is really... unexpected.
Gu Shen glanced at Mu Ya who was drunk. If this girl knew that Gong Zi was going to act like this, she probably wouldn't be so sad and drunk to such an extent.
Presumably, Gong Zilan kept this matter in her heart and never told anyone else... Obviously, it is a crazier thing to go to Beizhou to cancel the engagement than to challenge Bai Xiu after comprehending the Fire Dream.
.
Waited for a long time.
Gu Shen's face still had that calm expression.
To be continued...
