Chapter 143 Begins the Probing
Speaking of rice wine of this era, it truly lives up to its name as fermented glutinous rice.
Even after they finished drinking, the two of them still had the energy to drink more.
However, Tang Yu was naturally happy to see this happen.
After all, judging from their behavior, they really hadn't drunk much.
However, with this drinking session as a foundation, Tang Yu's words later won't seem out of place.
After all, Liu Bang and his companion had just answered many of these people's questions.
Thinking of this, Liu Bang and Lü Zhi went directly to the tavern with the two men.
As soon as they arrived at the tavern, they saw Xiao He, along with the other wandering knights, already seated and waiting there.
Upon seeing Liu Bang's men arrive, the group immediately stood up to welcome them.
The group then sat down and began drinking intermittently.
Lü Zhi was responsible for pouring the wine.
Tang Yu felt that Lü Zhi was acting strangely today.
While pouring the wine, there seemed to be various kinds of physical contact between the wine and myself, almost imperceptibly.
Tang Yu has been in this world for three or four months now, and he has never even touched a woman or done any handicrafts.
After all, he doesn't have a girlfriend...
In this tense era, especially when Ying Zheng treated him like a beast of burden, who the hell had time to do this?
Thinking of this, Tang Yu felt a deep resentment towards Ying Zheng.
Empress Lü's actions today are like pouring oil on a raging fire.
In particular, although the other party was older than Tang Yu, both his appearance and figure were considered excellent for this era.
This made Tang Yu's mind wander, but he kept reminding himself...
You must not covet your friend's wife! You must not covet your friend's wife!
This woman is Liu Bang's good brother's woman, and what's worse, she's a notorious poisonous empress in history!
If Lü Zhi really becomes his woman, this is a very serious problem!
So when Lü Zhi finished pouring the wine again and touched Tang Yu's hand, Tang Yu took the initiative to pull away.
Seeing this, Lü Zhi couldn't help but feel somewhat saddened.
Sure enough! He's disgusted by the fact that I've been married before and touched by other men!
At this moment, Lü Zhi regretted marrying Liu Bang and also felt quite sorry about her age.
After all, he was much older than Tang Yu.
It's definitely a bit sad to think about.
Although he doesn't have children yet, Zhao Zilong is a nobleman by birth.
Now that she's paired with a woman like me, won't I be ridiculed?
Thinking of this, Lü Zhi became even more emotional, but Tang Yu was still busy drinking with Liu Bang and the others at the table.
After all, he came here with a mission today.
We must get Liu Bang and his men drunk no matter what, and then extract what we want from them.
"Come on, let's drink."
"Brother Liu Bang, we were in danger together that day. Fortunately, you were the first to draw your sword and confront the white snake. That gave me courage. I'd like to offer you a toast."
"Brother Liu Bang, I've been staying at your home these past few days and have been quite a bother. Let me offer you a toast!"
"It is my good fortune, Zhao Zilong, to be able to come to Pei County today and meet all of you heroes. I toast you all."
All I can say is that the social skills and etiquette learned in my past life at the dinner table were incredibly useful in manipulating these ancient people.
Although the social order has collapsed, they still find it difficult to deal with this situation.
After all, every sentence in this is a form of moral blackmail and an attempt to make it difficult to refuse.
So Liu Bang and his men could only hold their wine cups and gulp it down.
Although the rice wine of that era was not very strong, Liu Bang and his men were quite drunk in no time.
To Tang Yu's surprise, Lü Zhi also sat down at the table and spoke.
"Since it's a joyous day, why don't I have a couple of drinks too?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Bang was overjoyed. His wife was not averse to drinking, but she rarely did.
Today, Empress Lü also wanted to drink, so Liu Bang quickly made room for her.
"In that case, you can sit here with me."
Lü Zhi looked at them and shook her head, because she was not far from Tang Yu and Fan Kuai.
"In that case, I'll just sit here."
"The wine pot is conveniently located nearby, making it easy for me to pour wine for everyone."
Just now, Lü Zhi was pouring wine for everyone, and few people doubted her statement. After thinking for a moment, they nodded.
However, Tang Yu became nervous. When he saw Lü Zhi's graceful hip curves settling down beside him, he couldn't help but cry out for help in his heart!
Because when Lü Zhi sat down, her buttocks even brushed against Tang Yu's thigh, which was something that none of the people present noticed.
Otherwise, Lü Zhi and he would not be able to escape today no matter what.
He found himself unable to understand Lü Zhi.
After all, although the historical record of Empress Lü shows that she was vicious, she had a very good relationship with Liu Bang and was also a great beauty.
But now he couldn't see any good relationship between Liu Bang and Liu Bang. Could it be that Liu Bang was a cuckold...?
Tang Yu didn't even dare to think about it anymore.
However, he felt that reality was probably not so outrageous and absurd, and that Liu Bang had not yet discovered Lü Zhi's personal actions.
An even more outrageous idea has now taken root in his mind.
"Am I perhaps going to implicate Emperor Gaozu of Han?"
After Lü Zhi sat down next to him, she almost collapsed onto Tang Yu every time she poured wine.
Because of Tang Yu's identity, these people all felt that Tang Yu would never do such a thing.
Similarly, they also felt that Tang Yu looked down on Lü Zhi, especially since Lü Zhi was known for her fiery personality.
At this moment, no one had any doubts, including Xiao He.
After the group had drunk two more times, Lü Zhi was somewhat tipsy.
Tang Yu looked at Liu Bang in front of him.
He felt that even if this old rogue was really drunk, he wouldn't be able to say anything too truthful.
However, at this level, some of the defenses have already been lowered.
This way, I can probe based on the information the other party provides.
After offering Liu Bang another cup, Tang Yu pretended to be a little dizzy and sat down in his seat.
At the same time, he asked in a very loud voice.
"Brother Liu Bang, in my opinion, Pei County is indeed a bit small."
"Besides, the people are also living a rather difficult life, which is incomparable to that of Xianyang City."
By the end, Tang Yu seemed to be drunk and shook his head violently.
Liu Bang responded upon hearing this.
"I don't know how things are in Xianyang, but Pei County is certainly not doing very well."
