Chapter 1175 [The Glory of Tang Dynasty 2]
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the annual release day of Zuixianlou's Zuixianjiu. According to Zuixianlou's tradition, whoever stands out among the many talented men and beautiful women at today's poetry meeting and wins the first prize will get this precious wine.
Cui Caiping was very excited when she heard the news. She couldn't wait to bring her maid Ziyuan with her early in the morning. The two of them disguised themselves as men and went to Zuixianlou together. Along the way, Cui Caiping was in a good mood and was full of anticipation for the upcoming poetry meeting.
When Cui Caiping and Ziyuan arrived at Zuixianlou, the poetry meeting had already begun. They found a quiet corner to sit down and prepare to enjoy this literary feast. Not long after, Shen Zhenzhu also came to Zuixianlou. Cui Caiping recognized her at a glance, but she did not reveal Shen Zhenzhu's true identity. After all, the purpose of her coming here today was for the fairy wine.
Shen Zhenzhu lived up to everyone's expectations. Her poetry talent stood out among the ordinary people and won the applause of everyone present. However, Cui Caiping was no ordinary person either. She was also eloquent. It seemed that she had poems from five thousand years ago in her mind. She could recite them effortlessly. Facing such a strong opponent, Shen Zhenzhu could not help but look at Cui Caiping differently.
Just when everyone thought that Shen Zhenzhu would be the winner of this poetry meeting, an unexpected person appeared - Li Chu. His appearance surprised everyone present, especially Cui Caiping, who never expected Li Chu to come to this poetry meeting.
Li Chu's poetic talent is equally outstanding, on par with Cui Caiping, and each has his own merits.
Seeing that it was evenly matched between the two, the boss of Zuixianlou finally decided to award the first prize to both of them.
Li Chu casually glanced at the man who won the first prize with him, and commented in his heart: "This man looks fair and clean, but he is a little short." The corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile.
Fortunately, Cui Caiping dressed up carefully before going out. She used various techniques to modify her appearance, so that even if Lady Han stood in front of her, she would probably find it difficult to recognize that this was her daughter. Not to mention Li Chu, he would definitely not be able to recognize her.
At this time, the boss of Zuixianlou came forward and said with a smile on his face: "You two are both the first prize winners today, how about we each drink half of this wine?"
Hearing this, Li Chu's smile faded slightly. He looked at the man and said slowly, "I don't mind, but I don't know what this gentleman thinks."
Cui Caiping hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Yes."
Li Chu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. He nodded, signaling the boss that he could serve the wine.
So, the boss of Zuixianlou quickly opened the jar of wine, and then divided the wine evenly into two portions, pouring each into two half jars.
Li Chu picked up one of the half-filled jars of wine, nodded slightly to Cui Caiping, then turned and walked towards the woods.
Shen Zhenzhu saw the wine being divided into two halves. Li Chu took one half without hesitation, and the remaining half bottle fell steadily into Cui Caiping's hands.
She stared at Cui Caiping and said slowly, "Sir, I'm really sorry. I really need this wine urgently. I wonder if you can transfer it to me? Of course, I will definitely pay you with money."
Upon hearing this, Cui Caiping looked Shen Zhenzhu up and down, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said slowly: "This young master is in a good mood today, so this wine is given to you, no need to pay."
Shen Zhenzhu was delighted when she heard this and quickly thanked him: "Thank you for your generous help, sir. I am very grateful. But I don't know your surname? If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay you with gratitude. My surname is Shen, and my given name is Zhu."
Cui Caiping didn't stop smiling as she said softly, "No need to mention your last name, Cui."
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhenzhu hurriedly bowed and said, "Then I will call you Brother Cui."
Cui Caiping nodded slightly to show her approval.
Shen Zhenzhu continued, "Brother Cui, do you know why I want this wine? To be honest, I want to find the know-it-all."
Cui Caiping's face changed slightly when she heard this, as if she remembered something, and she said quickly: "I see, Brother Shen, if you want to find the know-it-all, you have to hurry up. If you go too late, he might not be here anymore."
Shen Zhenzhu's heart tightened, and she hurriedly said, "Thank you, Brother Cui, for reminding me. I just wonder if Brother Cui can tell me where you live? After I finish my business, I will definitely host a banquet for Brother Cui to express my gratitude."
Cui Caiping waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need to do that. Our meeting is destiny. We will meet again in the future if we are destined to do so." After that, he turned and left, leaving Shen Zhenzhu standing there, thinking about something.
According to the legend, as long as you wait patiently in this quiet forest, the mysterious know-it-all will follow the aroma of wine to find you. Li Chu firmly believed this, and he believed that as long as he followed this method, he would be able to see the legendary know-it-all.
However, what Li Chu and Feng Shengyi did not expect was that what they were waiting for was not the Know-it-all, but a group of assassins dressed in black!
Li Chu and Feng Shengyi fought with the assassins. Seeing that there were too many assassins, they quickly separated. Li Chu took the opportunity to mount his horse and leave. The assassins chased him all the way. Li Chu left his horse and hid in a villa.
