Jing Xingzhi’s Daily Life in Ancient Times

Xu Mulang was extremely talented. He had loved to steal alcohol from adults since he was a child. When he grew up, it seemed he had developed a dependency on alcohol. He wouldn’t feel comfortable unless he drank a pound or two.

Seeing that the thin Jing Xingzhi wanted to have a drink with him, he smiled and asked, “Your Excellency, do you really want to drink with me?”

When he asked, the other Northlanders laughed louder.

Many people thought Xu Mulang was quite good, and he even knew how to ask in a way that wouldn’t embarrass the young man from the capital.

Jing Xingzhi glanced at Wang Zikai, nodded, and said, “Master Wang ordered me, so of course, it’s on me.”

However, since others were being polite, wouldn’t it be a bad idea to be rude himself?

So, Jing Xingzhi said modestly, “I can’t drink much, don’t laugh at me when I’m drunk!”

Xu Mulang thought to himself that he had already asked, so they wouldn’t blame him for being so drunk. The guy in front of him was a pitiful pretty boy who was likely being forced to drink by his superior.

Xu Mulang looked at the waiter. “Sir, since you agreed, let the waiter serve the wine!”

Xu Mulang was a well-known figure in the restaurant. When the waiter served the wine, he looked at Jing Xingzhi with pity, worried that there would be another person who would get drunk from Xu Mulang’s company.

But in fact, Jing Xingzhi’s “X-ray” curiously scanned Xu Mulang’s body and also showed a pity for the man’s poor little liver.

It was too miserable to follow such a master; it was too early to waste time!

Both of them were very happy. Several jars of wine were placed on the table, and someone helped pour the wine. All they had to do was raise their glasses and drink!

Anyway, just drink, and that was it.

Ning Haibo was a little frightened when he saw it. He thought that his unfilial son who was studying could not drink as much as the wine barrel in the frontier. He stopped him and said, “It’s almost enough. It’s just casual dining. There’s no need to get drunk!”

But Wang Zikai stopped him. “Drink! Let’s drink freely. How can we become familiar with each other if we don’t drink? Friendship and goodwill come from the wine table.”

Wang Zikai deliberately made trouble for Ning Haibo. While blocking Ning Haibo, Wang Zikai himself raised his glass and drank from both the lower right and lower left sides.

Ning Haibo thought that Jing Xingzhi was Wang Zikai’s subordinate and was afraid that Wang Zikai would cause trouble in the future, so he finally tolerated Wang Zikai.

He thought to himself that he would help Jing Xingzhi after he was almost done drinking.

But Ning Haibo waited and waited, and saw that the two jars of wine were empty, but the drinkers on both sides were still standing.

After realizing that they had passed two jars of wine together, everyone looked at Xu Mulang and Jing Xingzhi dumbfounded, preparing to say it was because they were looking at Jing Xingzhi.

“Belch—”

Xu Mulang burped and exhaled the smell of alcohol. He squinted his eyes and said, “This man has a great capacity for drinking! I wonder if I can know your name?”

Jing Xingzhi thought, ‘It felt like he was unworthy unless he had good drinking capacity.’

Anyway, after drinking all the wine and smelling of alcohol, Jing Xingzhi decided to have a good drink.

If these people dared to drink with him in the future, he would never lose.

In the worst case, one or two true spiritual energy would be wasted. If it didn’t work, three or four true spiritual energy would be wasted.

If the true spiritual energy in the body wasn’t enough to see the dragon’s veins, drinking alcohol would always be enough.

Jing Xingzhi picked up the wine jar and replied proudly, “Jing Xingzhi!”

Then he raised the wine jar and drank a lot.

‘If you drink straight from the wine jar, can you be weak here?’

Xu Mulang didn’t wait for their urging, and immediately picked up a jar of wine and poured it into his mouth!

“Okay! Have fun!”

“Mulang is so brave!”

“A real man drinks like this!”

The people of the entire Northland seemed to have been integrated into one body at that moment, wanting Xu Mulang to prove that their Dingbei people were the best at drinking!

But after Xu Mulang finished drinking, Jing Xingzhi just picked up another jar, drank three times, took another two, and drank it all.

Now, the people marching north also thought of cheering up Jing Xingzhi!

“The Number One Scholar has a great capacity for drinking!”

“Drink! Drink him down!”

“Young Master Jing is amazing!”

Hearing the encouragement from the people in the capital, Xu Mulang from the North took action.

He seemed to have heard the word number one scholar…

But how could such a good drinker get mixed up with that sour scholar?! He must have heard wrong…

Xu Mulang put aside his distracting thoughts, raised his wine again, and drank it down boldly.

After asking for their names, the two people actually put aside their cups and bowls and directly picked up the wine jars to have a drink together.

Three jars, four jars, five jars…

Gradually, Xu Mulang could no longer stand.

His face turned red, one hand was on the table, and his eyes were blurred as he became dizzy.

Everyone looked at Xu Mulang and then stared at Jing Xingzhi opposite, who was still smiling gently.

Jing Xingzhi was slightly dizzy, but it was nothing. He picked up the jar of wine again and said, “Come again?”

Xu Mulang blinked and could only shout: “Come again!”

Unfortunately, Xu Mulang was already drunk, and the jar of wine he mentioned at the end fell out of his hand and smashed to the ground with a clang.

And Xu Mulang swayed twice, suddenly bent his tall body, and vomited while bending like a shrimp!

What a shame!

But Xu Mulang couldn’t help it, and he was hurt this time. Two good drinkers usually couldn’t drink so much together, right?!

The pretty boy opposite him was simply not human. This was Xu Mulang’s last thought.

Then Xu Mulang fell down.

After drinking and knocking one down, the scene panicked for a moment and then returned to normal. Xu Mulang was not a big shot; he was just a young official who came to accompany the wine drinking.

But after the panic, the whole aura of the Northlanders became a little weaker.

They had thought that when they drank, they were the winner, but they had been knocked down by someone else. It was not only Xu Mulang who was embarrassed, but also everyone’s face.

They knew very well that they couldn’t drink enough to outdo Xu Mulang, but the pretty boy opposite him actually drank more.

And the wine fight itself was to use one’s own strengths to compete with the other party’s shortcomings. The wine they were used to drinking was the wine they were accustomed to, and Xu Mulang was the most drinkable famous wine barrel. But he actually lost.

Again, it was so embarrassing!

On Jing Xingzhi’s side, he sat down leisurely and picked up a piece of green vegetables to suppress the alcohol in his mouth.

He thought with a bit of disgust: ‘Wine really doesn’t taste good.’

Wang Zikai consciously regained his composure and spoke much louder.

Ning Haibo also breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that something might happen to Jing Xingzhi.

Moreover, Jing Xingzhi was so good at drinking, it reminded him of his own youth. It seemed that this son was not completely unsimilar to himself.

After the drink, the four groups of people dispersed, and Jing Xingzhi accompanied Wang Zikai to privately meet with a group of Northland old people and began to communicate in depth.

Putting aside his blue-green eyes, Wang Zikai asked, and the old man vomited out what Ning Haibo had done.

“Your Excellency, before we defeated Dingbei, General Ning promised us everything!”

“Promised us that we could move to the capital, promised that we could become officials if we were capable, promised that we would report our merits, and be granted titles for meritorious service!”

“But now, where is that? There are only city gates that cannot be opened, and there are those troublesome foreigner races!”

“Alas…” Wang Zikai sighed, “I know. But… those were all promised by General Ning, haven’t you looked for him?”

The voice-over was: they could only help this far.

“We went to General Ning, but General Ning said that he had nothing to do with people’s affairs and that we had to wait for Mr. Wang to come!”

The person who spoke had an indignant look on his face, obviously very angry with Ning Haibo.

“Then Ning Haibo really wasn’t a human being. He hadn’t told me any of this, and he had been playing tricks on both of us!”

Wang Zikai and the person in question gathered together, complained to each other, and scolded Ning Haibo.
