In the tavern.
Yang Yi looked at the old man in front of him and smiled bitterly."Old Pei, I know you can drink, but you're already so old. Why don't you take it easy?”
Pei Xingjian's face was ruddy." This old man is only 61 years old this year. I eat meat and drink wine every meal. There's nothing wrong. Don't worry!”
Yang Yi clicked his tongue. This old man was still fierce. Were all the old men in ancient times this fierce or was Old Pei an exception? No wonder he could be a lieutenant in the Left Wing Guard. Your grandpa is still your grandpa.
"Old Pei, what's that Xue Shao's background?" he asked curiously. So arrogant? I have no enmity with him! Hiss, could it be that I flirted with his wife? But I've flirted too much, so I didn't think of it at all."
Cough, cough, cough! Pei Xingjian almost choked to death.
He hesitated for a moment and said," This person is just a rich playboy. His family doesn't have much power. You don't have to worry. I can deal with him!"”
"Xue Shao, this name sounds a little familiar. Could it be that I've heard it somewhere before?"”
Pei Xingjian coughed lightly." Brother Yang, you must have remembered wrongly. There are so many people in Chang 'an. It's normal to have a few people with the same name. It might not be the one you think…"
Yang Yi was relieved." That's true. This name is ordinary and has no special characteristics at all. It's far worse than my name. Perhaps I remembered it wrongly.”
The corners of Pei Xingjian's mouth twitched. Your name doesn't sound that good either.
He straightened his back slightly and laughed. His old face had a trace of mischief," Come, come, Brother Yang. Today, I will treat you to a drink. You must not refuse!”
Yang Yi looked at the slightly turbid wine in front of him and twitched the corners of his mouth." Do you really want to drink it?”
"Yes!" Pei Xingjian said with a smile.
Most soldiers loved to drink. He had known Yang Yi for many days, but Yang Yi always looked calm and collected. Today, he wanted to see if he could get him drunk!
Yang Yi sighed and raised his wine glass to finish it in one gulp!
The slightly stimulating wine flowed down his throat. Yang Yi narrowed his eyes. The taste of this wine was actually not bad.
Pa!
He placed the wine glass on the table. He was quite impressed by the brewing techniques of this era. Although they did not have the technology of the later generations and the alcohol content was not high, the taste was still acceptable. It was not as bland as he had imagined!
"Good alcohol tolerance!" Pei Xingjian's eyes lit up. He didn't expect his brother to be able to drink two sips. His face wasn't even red!
Yang Yi smiled and said," The alcohol content of this wine is too low. If I could get drunk, it would be too useless. However, drinking wine depends on feelings and who I drink with. If it's with those who live in vain, it would be tasteless even if I drink tribute wine. With Old Pei, even this wine would become delicious. Life will be happy, and I will be enlightened!"”
"Good!" Pei Xingjian slammed the table. His beard and hair stood up, and a smile appeared on his wrinkled face." I've lived for so many years, but this is the first time I've met a young man who suits my taste like Brother Yang! It's time to float!"
The two of them acted as if there was no one else around as they pushed their glasses and toasted each other.
Although the alcohol content wasn't high, Yang Yi was still a little excited after drinking some wine.
"Old Pei, you're still in the army at such an old age. Why don't you go back and enjoy your life?" he asked with a smile.”
Pei Xingjian was stunned for a moment before his mind sank into his memories. Su Dingfang had taught him the art of war, Emperor Taizong had placed high hopes on him, his parents had taught him by example, the Turks had never given up on their evil intentions, and the Tibetans had never stopped fighting…
"The Great Tang still needs me!" he said after a long time.”
If another old man had said this, Yang Yi would definitely laugh at him. An old man who was half buried in the ground, why would the country need him?
However, when these words came out of Pei Xingjian's mouth, he had a feeling that he had to believe them!
"It's a blessing for the Great Tang to have a person like Brother Pei!" Yang Yi smiled and muttered. It was the blessing of the two Saints! It's a blessing for the people of the world!"
Pei Xingjian laughed." He's just an old soldier…"
"No, it's the guardian!" Yang Yi said seriously.”
After a while…
Pei Xingjian's voice sounded.
"When I float, I'll be white!"
