Female-to-male: I live on farming
Chapter 176 Drinking
It was the first time that Qin Ke saw the scene after a war. Although the city gate had been cleaned up by them, the damage and cracks on the city wall clearly told others that a great war had just occurred here.
It was Li Nanqiao who came to the city gate to greet Qin Ke.
Qin Ke saw the bandaged wound on her arm and asked with concern: "Are you injured? Are you okay?"
"It's okay, I just got stabbed." Li Nanqiao glanced down at his arm and said nonchalantly.
After walking two steps behind Qin Ke, she suddenly thought of something and immediately added, "My dear, please don't tell my mother! Otherwise, she will definitely be worried. She is in poor health and cannot stand being frightened."
Although she has joined the army and is now a captain, she still habitually calls him "Huang Jun".
"Since you don't want your aunt to worry, be more careful next time."
It is inevitable to get injured in a war. Qin Ke knew that this was unavoidable and only gave this reminder.
Li Nanqiao suddenly smiled halfway through his walk and said excitedly, "By the way, my dear, I have been promoted to captain."
As Xiao Anyi had indeed reported the Fengyu Guard's contribution truthfully as she had said, and he also specifically emphasized that the plan was proposed by Li Nanqiao.
The first thing the princess did after arriving in Yizhou was to reward people according to their merits, and she was successfully promoted from a thousand households to a captain.
This speed of promotion is already terrifying. No wonder it is said that the best way for a general to achieve success is on the battlefield. However, her quick promotion may be due to the fact that His Highness and the others want to support the Fengyu Guard as soon as possible.
"So fast!" Qin Ke was really surprised. You know, some people have been in the military camp for several years and are still only a centurion.
"Yes, His Highness just conferred the title on me, and asked me to continue recruiting soldiers in Yizhou to expand the Fengyu Guard."
Qin Ke was also happy for her: "Then you can write a letter to tell your aunt the good news."
Qin Ke estimated that by the end of the war, if the princess succeeded, Li Nanqiao might become a general if he was lucky.
Li Nanqiao took Qin Ke directly to see the eldest princess. She was obviously too busy to do anything, and the memorials on the desk were piled up almost as high as a person.
"See Your Highness."
"You are here," Jin Yang said without even raising his head, "You should have seen the walls of Xiaocheng. Many places were damaged when we attacked Xiaocheng a few days ago. You should take people to repair them as soon as possible. In addition, you need to arrange the spring plowing in Yizhou after the New Year in advance, and make sure to increase the grain output in Yizhou as soon as possible..."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Qin Ke took action immediately after receiving the order. At a time like this, every second counts. The imperial court may not send troops to attack Yizhou at any time, so he had to bring people to help with Yizhou's defensive fortifications.
This time, in addition to bringing a lot of raw materials for cement, he also escorted a lot of crossbows and arrows. Crossbows and arrows can play a very important role in defending the city.
Since the city wall was being repaired, Qin Ke reinforced it once and for all with cement.
After the princess entered the city, the people of Xiaocheng were still a little uneasy and stayed indoors. After a few days, they found that the change of ownership of Yizhou did not have any impact, so they began to go out.
The shops on the street also reopened for business, and because of the New Year, it wasn't long before the street became bustling again.
Qin Ke spent this year's Spring Festival alone, but he felt okay with being busy every day. On New Year's Eve, the eldest princess specially summoned him to celebrate the New Year in the military camp.
Strictly speaking, Qin Ke is not a member of the military camp, but the eldest princess obviously takes care of him since his wife and daughter are not around.
One reason was to reward them for their victory, and the other was because it was the New Year, so Xiao Anyi ordered the army kitchen to slaughter several pigs as a snack for everyone.
The quality of the food is secondary; what matters most is the atmosphere.
But... Qin Ke looked at the big bowl of wine in front of him and felt that the atmosphere in the military camp was too enthusiastic.
The people in the military camp are generous and unrestrained. They like to eat meat and drink wine in big bowls. They want to drink with whoever they like.
At first, Qin Ke sat not far from the eldest princess. No one came to toast him, so he sat there quietly eating and watching the people below eating and making noise.
Some people drank a few more glasses of wine and got a little carried away. They forgot to sit still and stood up by stepping on a stool. They started talking and laughing loudly about their heroic actions when they attacked Yizhou some time ago.
"I chopped off that man's head with one blow..."
Qin Ke listened curiously and found that people would brag about themselves when they drank too much. It was normal at the beginning, but it became more and more outrageous as time went on.
The others listened with great interest and laughed along with him.
When they were drunk, someone brought a jar of wine and placed it on Qin Ke's table with a thud.
Qin Ke was a little confused. She stared at the man in front of her for several seconds. She raised her head to look at the eldest princess who was sitting on the throne and found that she was tasting the sake in the glass gracefully.
The problem is that the wine glass the princess used to drink was the same small wine glass that ordinary people use to drink, but the man standing in front of Qin Ke was holding a wine bowl.
No one dared to force the Princess to drink, even if she was drunk.
This is enough to prove the high status and prestige of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
But no one dared to go to the eldest princess's table, but someone dared to come to Qin Ke.
"Come on, Qin Sinong, I, Old Wei, would like to offer you a toast. The dry food you prepared for us during this march tasted really good, and the herbs in the backpack saved my life." As he spoke, he picked up the wine jar and filled the bowl in front of Qin Ke with wine. "Just for this, I have to offer you a toast."
After saying that, he picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Facing the other party's expectant eyes, Qin Ke swallowed uncontrollably. After drinking this bowl of wine, how could he survive?
He knew his alcohol tolerance. He had only drunk too much once in Qinghe Village over the years. After coming to Liangzhou, he would not drink too much unless it was necessary. This resulted in his alcohol tolerance being even lower than his wife's.
But it would be bad if he didn't drink. If they refused him, people would think that Qin Ke looked down on them.
He picked up the wine bowl with trembling hands and drank it down with difficulty.
"Hahaha, good, now you're like a real man!" The big man slapped Qin Ke on the shoulder.
The soldiers were extremely strong, and Qin Ke was caught off guard and staggered.
After hearing his words, Qin Ke could only smile awkwardly, silently complaining in his heart: Who wants to be a rough guy like you! My wife likes a pretty boy like me!
But no one heard his mumbling. What made Qin Ke even more desperate was that other people also noticed the commotion here and came to join in the fun regardless of his reason.
For a moment, Qin Ke felt that he was surrounded by a group of unfamiliar men holding drinks.
Crying without tears!
