CHAPTER 776: CHAPTER 90 THE SECOND IMPERIAL DECREE_3

It also had isolated the Imperial Palace from the common folk.

These issues were tangled like a chariot pulled by eight crazed warhorses, beyond his control, powerless to reverse the chaos, only an external force, pure and clear, could possibly tear through such circumstances.

How should one solve both internal and external troubles?

He looked at Li Guanyi in front of him, his expression calm.

Suddenly, he sighed with a smile, "I truly envy you, Pharmacist."

Li Guanyi raised his eyebrows slightly.

Ji Zichang suddenly grabbed the wine pot on the table and poured himself a drink.

Then, tipping back his head, the Emperor, who usually disliked using the same eating utensils as others, now drank from it gulp by gulp. In a short while, he was slightly drunk, and Li Guanyi consoled him, "You needn’t do this."

Ji Zichang said, "You don’t understand, don’t understand."

Li Guanyi didn’t argue anymore but just drank with this peculiar scholar. They drank pots and pots of wine, one dish after another. Ji Zichang didn’t use his Fourth Layer Heaven "Red Dragon Suppressing Nine Provinces" Divine Skill to dissipate the alcohol; Divine Will was already intoxicated.

When Li Guanyi helped the drunken scholar out of the restaurant, the sky had completely darkened. Ji Zichang staggered as he patted Li Guanyi’s shoulder, "Pharmacist, you said your Jade Pendant was given by someone else."

"Ha, is it the girl in your heart?"

Li Guanyi paused.

Ji Zichang had already pushed him away, staggering forward, murmuring softly, "I, I also had someone, back when I wasn’t yet the Family Head, just a plain girl who loved to play the zither, play chess."

"Later, later at seventeen, she died from a severe illness."

Li Guanyi said, "You married a girl from an aristocratic family, didn’t you?"

Ji Zichang softly said, "Yes."

"Only by leveraging their power could I stabilize my position."

"But..."

He suddenly laughed at himself, "Forget it, it’s meaningless, forget it, come, come, let’s drink!" he shouted, tipping back his neck to drink, only to find the pot was empty. He frowned.

This rare uninhibited Emperor glanced at the wine gourd at Li Guanyi’s waist.

"Ha! You still have my wine."

Without caring about anything else, he simply reached out and grabbed the wine gourd. Li Guanyi subconsciously ignored this gourd until Ji Zichang opened it and the Shaking Light mystical skills were disrupted. It was then Li Guanyi realized the trouble.

This wasn’t fruit wine, it was Thousand-Day Drunk!

Ji Zichang gulped down a big mouthful, his mood apparently very foul, recklessly drinking in big gulps, without realizing that Whale Hunter had altered its contents with a formation, and it could now hold a significant amount of strong liquor.

Ji Zichang drank until he was staggeringly dizzy.

Realizing something wasn’t right, he put down the wine gourd, "Is my wine always this strong?"

Li Guanyi was speechless.

Isn’t it?

Are all scholars from Central State this frightening?

It’s one thing for Wen He to avoid Thousand-Day Drunk, but encountering a depressed, bearded man on the road who could drink that long without falling, Ji Zichang threw the items in his hand, which Li Guanyi caught.

Under Ji Zichang’s ’It’s your turn’ gaze, Li Guanyi also bravely smiled, tipped his head back and drank wildly, Ji Zichang’s impression of him improved greatly, laughing loudly, "Good, good!"

Ji Zichang burped, "Let’s go, let’s go!"

He stretched out his hand to clasp onto Li Guanyi, both staggering along, "Let’s go!"

The two staggered on their way, but after drinking so much, they suddenly grew thirsty. Ji Zichang glanced around and spotted a courtyard, "Pharmacist, Pharmacist, look!"

"There, those red vegetables, those brought from the Western Regions or Northern Domain that can quench thirst."

Li Guanyi had also drunk a lot, "But that’s someone else’s."

Ji Zichang thumped his chest, speaking with a slurred tongue, "What do you mean someone else’s? I, I..." he held up his thumb to his chest, expressed proudly, "It’s mine! It’s all mine!"

A slightly tipsy Li Guanyi said, "Then shall we take some?"

"Good!"

The two skillfully climbed over the wall.

And then they began picking red vegetables and fruits from the Western Regions in the courtyard.

"I picked more!"

"Nonsense, the Majesty..., I mean, surely, it’s the quality that matters more, right?!"

"More?"

Ji Zichang disdainfully said, "Mine are the biggest."

While the two were busy rolling up their sleeves and crazily crushing things, a strange atmosphere gradually emerged. Marquis Qin Wu and the Great Emperor of Central State slowly looked up, and in the dark night, they saw green eyes lighting up.

Then they saw clearly.

It was a dog.

Watching them coldly, Li Guanyi put his finger to his lips, Ji Zichang’s scalp tingled: "Good doggie, don’t bark, don’t bark..."

A series of barks broke the quiet of the night.

Then there was an angry old man’s voice, "Damn it!!!"

"Who are these thieves daring to steal my vegetables, Wang Cai, bite!"

"Bite them to death!"

Damn!!!

Li Guanyi was greatly angered, this wasn’t yours?

Turning around.

A man named Chang Wen had already climbed halfway over the wall, faster than him.

Li Guanyi got angry, then grew angry at the powerless citizens below, forcing the dignified Marquis Qin Wu to flee in disgrace. Eventually, holding the fruits and flipping over the wall, he flicked his hand and a handful of Copper Coins fell on the table.

"We bought them!"

"We paid!"

The old man continued to curse. Li Guanyi and Ji Zichang sat on the great wall, one side the vegetable courtyard, the other a quiet road, and the sky bloomed with a brilliant Milky Way. The two suddenly felt a moment of calm, exchanged glances, and burst out laughing.
