The Rite of Choosing a Son-in-law

  Volume 1 Chapter 11 The fragrance of a room can be filled with one incense stick Selection of son-in-law ceremony 4

  In front of the high red embroidered building, a dense crowd of people gathered. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers standing behind the crowd jogged forward, parted the crowd and blocked them out! They carried four long tables and several chairs, arranged them neatly, and the soldiers stood in a tight formation, holding long spears, standing upright, isolating a three-zhang-wide and ten-zhang-long empty space from the crowd. Just as they were about to speak, another group of people came forward carrying thirty jars of wine!

  The first round was a martial arts competition to win the bride, but the second round was a drinking contest! The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she really wanted to grab the old man and give him a good scolding! In the past, matchmaking was just about looking at someone's character and talent. Who would have thought that the second round would be a drinking competition?!

  Frowning at the rows of wine jars in front of me, I almost burst out cursing! So much wine, all poured together, would be enough for several people to take a bath and still have some left over!

  The old man Tianji laughed, "Haha! That disciple! Originally it was prepared for thirty people to drink, who would have thought that you eliminated twenty-six at once! This way, the wine seems more abundant!"

  I sneered, "What do you plan to do?"

  Long Nu Ya glared at me coldly, her eyes fixed on my chest, and after a while, she said, "What do you say? Can't just take a bath, can we?"

  "Absolutely not! Although my country is wealthy, it can't afford such extravagance and waste! This fine wine was specially ordered from Yuan Guo for today's occasion. It's called Peach Blossom Wine, renowned for its delicate fragrance and high quality, but it's also extremely perishable. From the time it was transported from Yuan Guo, it took a lot of time, and coincidentally, it will ferment by today. Once it ferments, it won't be wine anymore, but vinegar! And once it becomes vinegar, it'll be worthless! In other words, you few people here today must finish all the wine, otherwise, Miss Ye, don't blame me for being heartless!"

  Thirty people's wine, four people drink! I frowned. This is a disguised murder! I have always known that Longnuyue is a thorn in the eyes of other countries, and YanYan has never avoided saying that Longnuyue is the person they dare not mention in their hearts! A small amount of wine can comfort one's feelings, but if you drink too much, it will also become a poison that kills people!

  Their eyes involuntarily turned to the four of them. Long Yunya was smiling and winking at me, while Long Nuyaya furrowed his brow, his eyes gazing into the unknown distance, lost in thought. Long Lieyaya seemed completely unbothered. Only Gui Yue was tense and red-faced, looking like he didn't know what to do after the unexpected turn of events.

  I saw him look at me, and he stared at me intensely. The corners of his lips slightly curled up, and I gave him an encouraging smile! He took a deep breath, and his complexion improved somewhat!

  "It's just drinking! If I'm going out, I'll only take one person with me! What do these few jars of wine amount to!" Long Yu Yan said loudly on the side.

  "What a pity! You didn't make it out!" Flame laughed coldly.

  I was taken aback. This man! The martial contest to win my hand in marriage was a ruse, but killing the Long Nu Ya brothers was real! He openly held a martial contest to win my hand, yet he had prepared thirty iron embroidered balls! From a young age, he knew about Han Xue's temperament, and that day at Tian Jue Fu Ren's residence, he made another small test! Knowing that he couldn't openly confront them, he must have planned to cheat during the ball-throwing! And he gave me this opportunity! He eliminated four people from the competition! However, a small mistake occurred in the process, and unexpectedly, Gui Yue was included! Completely shattering his meticulous calculations!

  He is a prince of a neighboring country, and it's impossible for him to risk offending Feng Guo and Jiang Guo by capturing them, and then taking the opportunity to kill them all! Unless someone instructed him to do so!

  Among them, there are people from the Crown Prince's party, people from Long Nu Ya, and also, newly joined in the battle is Long Yun Ya! Logically speaking, if the mastermind behind this is indeed the Crown Prince's person, then why kill Long Yu Ya? Suddenly planning to kill four princes, who exactly is this person?!

  "Then I'll take care of it, how's that?" Long Yunya said with a smile.

  With flames in hand and standing tall, his lips curled up slightly as he said loudly, "Suit yourself!"

  Long Yunya had just finished speaking, and then walked a few steps forward, picked up a wine jug from the table, opened the bright red lid, tilted his head and gulped! His appearance was elegant and agile, as if he were an immortal in the wine! In just a short while, the wine jug was emptied!

  Long Nuyi snorted coldly, "I knew you'd be arrogant! I'll join in too!" After saying that, he also picked up the wine from the table, removed the lid, and followed Long Yunyi's example, drinking together with him.

  Long Lieyue smiled calmly, "I'm not good at drinking! I'm not as powerful as the other two, so it's better to drink a small wine cup!" He said, and then he really started sipping slowly from an eight-tael small wine cup! This was not drinking, but rather tasting the wine!

  "Miss! Let's go all out!"

  He said, then suddenly picked up the wine jug and poured it down fiercely!

  Long Yunya's drinking capacity was surprisingly good, and he alone drank more than a dozen jars of wine without seeing any change in his complexion! Yan Yan's face became increasingly ugly! On the other hand, Long Nuyue, after drinking two jars, had been red-faced all along, with her eyes gleaming as she scanned the crowd! As if searching for something!

  From just now on, he has been looking for something! Who is it that makes him so concerned? I couldn't help but frown. I can feel that his mind is not on the wine party at all! For some reason, thinking of this, I felt a slight sense of dissatisfaction! He's clearly... How could he be absent-minded at a time like this?!

  I suddenly felt a chill in my heart. I couldn't speak for half a day! Bang! Guiyue fell straight to the ground! Drunk to death!

  "It's settled! Eliminated!" The Old Heaven's Chosen One loudly declared!

  Flames gazed for a while, lips slightly curled, "Fall down, and it's declared abandonment! Quit! Eliminated!"

  "What's he going to do next! No matter what move he makes, it's all about taking lives! I furrowed my brow. After a while, I stood up and said loudly, "Prince Flame! There's no need for comparison! I've already made up my mind, who to choose as my husband!"
