The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

The night of the first day of the Lunar New Year is sure to be a wonderful night.

Only after Yi Qianxiao and Di Qinglin had fallen into a deep sleep did Jia Daoshi get up, put on his clothes, and get up.

He was a little hungry and planned to go to the kitchen to find some leftover meat from dinner so he could have a few sips of wine with it.

Venison is a good thing.

Eating this in winter, especially with some venison soup, is excellent for replenishing blood and energy, and regulating the spleen and stomach.

Just as Jia Daoshi was giving himself special treatment, his ear suddenly twitched.

Some people are also heading towards the kitchen!

The person who came was so light that they were almost unnoticeable!

But Jia Daoshi still heard it!

That's the sound of meat being trampled on the ground!

This guy isn't even wearing shoes?

Could it be Jia Hu?

In this freezing weather, only a big, clumsy guy like Jia Hu would go without clothes or shoes.

This kind of physique is something that ordinary martial arts practitioners can't learn even if they wanted to!

Soon, the person arrived at the door.

"Ok?"

Jia Daoshi seemed to have sensed something, and a look of surprise appeared on his face!

Because it wasn't Jia Hu who came!

not human!

He walked to the kitchen door, opened it, and standing outside was none other than the white ape he had encountered half a day earlier!

The white ape's tall body was bent over, squatting on the floor by the door, but even so, its head was almost touching the roof!

With those powerful muscles, he looks exactly like a white, miniature version of King Kong.

As expected of the legendary White Ape King!

The White Ape King looked at Jia Daoshi with eyes full of gratitude.

"Why are you here so late at night instead of spending time with your wife?"

"Oh~ Oh~ Oh~"

The white ape called out to Jia Daoshi a few times, stretched out its two "hands" and made a very strange movement, then reached up on its own back and pulled out two jars of wine!

Jia Daoshi was dumbfounded!

Is the White Ape King here to deliver wine?

"What are you doing? Giving this to me?"

Jia Daoshi asked.

The White Ape King nodded repeatedly, placed the wine jar on the floor, and pushed it towards Jia Daoshi.

The mouth of the wine jar was well sealed with mud, and it looked like it had been there for many years.

It must be said that although the White Ape King looks very fierce, its current behavior shows that it understands human relationships better than many humans!

He had just rescued its wife during the day, and then came over in the middle of the night to deliver gifts to express his gratitude.

If this guy is going to give a gift, it should be something like game, wild fruit, or herbs.

But what they sent was wine!

This left him both amused and exasperated!

"Old Bai, what can I say to you? I know you want to thank me, but you can't just steal other people's things, can you? These two jars of wine aren't cheap on the market. You should return them to them." Jia Daoshi pointed to the wine jars in front of him and waved his hand.

"Oh~ Oh~ Oh~ Oh oh oh oh oh~"

Unexpectedly, after hearing Jia Daoshi's words, the White Ape King shook his head repeatedly, then turned around and pointed towards the mountains, and then made a strange gesture.

"You mean, you didn't steal this wine? It came from the mountains?" Jia Daoshi said.

"Oh~ Oh~ Oh~"

The White Ape King nodded.

"In the mountains? And there's wine there?" Jia Daoshi became even more curious.

"Oh~ Oh~ Oh~"

Then, the White Ape King simply sat cross-legged on the floor, making a gesture with his hands in front of his chest, as if he were forming a hand seal and meditating.

Jia Daoshi finally realized that this was the Taoist meditation posture.

"You said there's a Taoist temple in those mountains?" Jia Daoshi laughed. "This wine, the Taoist priests there gave it to you, right?"

"Oh~ Oh~ Oh~"

The White Ape King nodded.

"Then I'll have to try it."

Driven by curiosity, Jia Daoshi opened a jar of wine.

The next second, a rich aroma of wine wafted over!

At this moment, the White Ape King smelled the aroma of the wine, and a very human-like look of intoxication appeared on his face. Then he pointed to his chest with a smug look on his face.

"Oh~ Oh~ Oh~ Oh~ Oh~ Oh~"

"You're saying you made this wine?"

Jia Daoshi was stunned again. Didn't he say it was wine from the Taoist temple?

"Oh~ Oh~ Oh~ Oh~ Oh~ Oh~ Oh~ Oh~ Oh~"

"You said you did it with the Taoist priests?"

Jia Daoshi had heard that monkeys loved wine before, and it was also recorded in many historical books, including the "Fan Lun" chapter of the "Huainanzi".

The wine that monkeys drink is called monkey wine. This kind of wild brew can only be formed by chance, and it is truly priceless.

Moreover, this wine can only be stored for one season.

Jia Daoshi never expected that the White Ape King would actually collaborate with the Taoist priests in the mountains to brew this monkey wine!

Judging from the rich aroma, this jar of monkey wine must have been aged for more than twenty years!

Although Jia Daoshi was not a connoisseur of wine, he knew he had stumbled upon a treasure after smelling its aroma!

"Shall we share a bowl?"

After Jia Daoshi finished speaking, he got up and took two large bowls, filled them to the brim, and gestured for the White Ape King to drink with him.

The White Ape King didn't stand on ceremony; he picked up the large bowl and poured the contents directly into his mouth.

"You've ruined it."

Jia Daoshi laughed heartily and also took a big gulp.

After taking that bite, I felt completely refreshed, and even my strength seemed to have increased!

The effect is even better than that of blood bodhi seeds!

Seeing Jia Daoshi's expression, the White Ape King grinned as well, and it could tell that Jia Daoshi was very satisfied with the wine.

"You big guy, you actually managed to receive guidance from the Taoist priest. No wonder you were able to develop intelligence. You are truly blessed."

Jia Daoshi also smiled.

It's a lie that he claimed to have received enlightenment from a high-ranking monk from the Western Regions, but it's true that the white ape received enlightenment from the Taoist priest.

It seems that the Taoist priest in this deep mountain is also a reclusive master.

This world is indeed different.

"Old Bai, I've accepted the wine you sent! I'm very happy. If you ever have any trouble in the future, just come here and find me. I'll give the order, and from now on, you'll be a distinguished guest of my manor!" Jia Daoshi laughed heartily.

These words did not treat the White Ape King as a wild beast, but as one of his own kind.

At the same time, doing so is tantamount to establishing a relationship with the Taoist priests in that mysterious Taoist temple.

The White Ape King grinned, bowed and nodded to Jia Daoshi, then stood up, slowly retreated from the roof, and disappeared into the thick night with a few leaps.

After watching the White Ape King disappear, Jia Daoshi sealed the Kaifeng Monkey Wine, making sure it was sealed properly, before getting up and returning to his room.

This is good stuff; I can give my wives a good boost.

It seems that doing a good deed by saving the White Ape King's wife was indeed a wise decision.

……

The night is getting darker.

Just as everyone was immersed in the New Year's atmosphere.

In a dense forest near Jia Daoshi's manor, a group of strangely dressed people were lurking in the shadows.

"Reporting to the leader, based on my observation, this manor is the most suitable place for us to settle near Yilan County!" a man in black said coldly.
