Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

There were also hundreds of servants.

In the Ruizhu Palace,

Li Shishi suddenly saw Zhao Yuan enter with a girl who looked like a fairy.

He couldn't help but praise,

"Whose child is this? They're as beautiful as an angel."

Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "Rendojir,"

"The most beautiful woman in Western Xia,"

"Back in Xingqing Prefecture,"

“Rindo Yasutada promised her to me.”

"I just followed Lin Chong to the capital."

This was the first time Zhao Yuan had discussed this matter with Li Shishi.

It wasn't that Zhao Yuan wanted to hide it from her.

Rather, Zhao Yuan didn't take it to heart.

Rendojir already knew that they had come to the residence of Princess Liang.

Hastily following the Han Chinese etiquette she had learned on the way, she gave a graceful curtsy.

"Rendojir has met Princess Liang."

Li Shishi smiled and said, "So it's Sister Renduo. No need for such formalities."

"She's so beautiful!"

"No wonder she was the most beautiful woman in Western Xia."

"My little sister will come here to play whenever she has nothing else to do."

Rendojir smiled and said, "Okay."

Li Shishi then inquired about Renduojier's experiences on the journey.

Hu Sanniang then rushed over.

She saw some Tanguts come to the palace.

Unable to resist his curiosity, he went up to ask.

Upon learning that their master had been brought to Ruizhu Palace by the Prince of Liang,

So they rushed over to join in the fun.

Hu Sanniang was not very old.

Seeing that Rendojier felt more at ease,

They chatted for a while,

Then it was time for dinner.

Li Shishi then invited them to have a meal together at Ruizhu Palace.

After dinner until my daughter was ready to sleep,

Hu Sanniang then pulled Renduojier away.

Although Rendojir is gone

However, Li Shishi and Zhao Yuan chatted for a while longer about Rendojier.

They had only spent a little over an hour together.

The simple and straightforward Rendojir won the hearts of both of them.

.....

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

All the military generals in the capital came to the Liang King's Palace to drink.

Those invited included Lin Chong, Wu Song, Li Kui, Zhang Qing, Xu Guanzhong, Zhu Wu, Huyan Zhuo, Luan Tingyu, Liu Tang, and Shi Jin. Liu Tang served as a centurion under Lin Chong.

But he's experienced enough.

Zhao Yuan couldn't leave him out either.

The other centurions, however, were not invited.

Shi Jin held no real official position.

Previously, when Lin Chong went to Xijing to prepare to resist Tian Hu and Wang Qing,

He and Zhu Wu were sent together to provide assistance.

Chapter 1721 Distilled Spirits

However, Lin Chong's troops did not get a chance to fight.

He also had no chance to make a contribution.

He could only continue to serve under Lin Chong.

All naval commanders were invited.

The nine people are Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, Li Jun, Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun, Tong Wei, Tong Meng, and Liu Menglong.

The next two are Fang Jie and Du Wei.

The two then lived together in the Liang King's palace with the Liang King's personal guards.

Under the careful treatment of the imperial physicians,

Fang Jie's illness has mostly healed.

Entering the Yanfu Hall,

Li Kui saw a room full of wine jars.

Then his eyes lit up and he shouted,

"Could it be that the King of Liang has gathered all the new wine in the city?"

It was already close to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

All the major restaurants in the city have been listed.

Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "We've gathered all the famous wines in the city."

"And some wine that I distilled myself."

Lin Chong couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Distilled wine?"

Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "Actually, we just evaporated some of the water from the wine."

"It made them even more intense."

Distilled spirits do not require much technical skill.

Once you think of it,

That's how it was made.

Zhao Yuan had never had distilled spirits before.

However, this is because Liangshan does not produce grain.

It would be a waste to even be able to brew some wine.

Redistilling spirits is a crime.

However, the Great Liang now controls half of the country.

Although there was a famine this year

But no one will starve to death.

Just then, the new wine was released.

In preparation for today's banquet

Yesterday, I had someone buy some of the city's finest wines.

Then several more jars were distilled.

Li Kui grinned widely and said,

"The wine that King Liang makes must be celestial wine from heaven,"

"We are blessed!"

"Which jar contains the wine of the King of Liang?"

"Let me try it quickly."

Zhao Yuan pointed to several small jars,

“That’s distilled liquor,”

"But this liquor is extremely strong,"

"Let alone jars, even bowls,"

"You might not be able to drink a few bowls either."

Tokyo has no shortage of skilled craftsmen.

Zhao Yuan explained the principle,

In less than two hours,

They then produced sophisticated wooden distillation equipment.

Zhao Yuan tasted the newly distilled wine yesterday.

Although the degree cannot be accurately measured,

But based on Zhao Yuan's experience in later generations,

It's probably no less than fifty or sixty degrees.

It is much stronger than the alcoholic beverages with an alcohol content of around ten degrees on the market today.

In the past, Wu Song could drink dozens of bowls of wine before he could fight Jiang Menshen.

But with this strong liquor...

I'm afraid after dozens of bowls,

The tiger should be drunk to death by now.

Li Kui, however, did not believe it.

He walked over and picked up a jar of wine.

Break the clay seal.

Then he was about to pour it into his mouth.

The mud seal has just been broken.

A fragrant aroma of wine then wafted out.

Wu Song exclaimed, "Good wine!"

Li Kui took a deep breath.

He still picked up the jar without hesitation.

Pour it into your mouth.

"Gudong, Gudong."

He took two gulps in a row.

Li Kui, his face flushed and neck thick, put down the jar and slurred, "..."
