Chapter 361 I Just Want to Beat You Up
"Pour it out! Pour it out! Pour it all out!"
Someone shouted in silence, igniting the tense situation and almost spreading out of control. Guan Yu remained calm, Jian Yong subconsciously held the sword at his waist, Qian Zhao looked at everyone with a happy face, and fortunately Gan Ning raised his arm and shouted: "Brother Wang is a hero and a righteous man, he will never hurt us!"
Gan Ning's men looked at each other in bewilderment. Their anger was instantly extinguished. Someone murmured to himself, "Brother, you are right. How can you harm others like this?"
"You, come here, check it out for me." Gan Ning pointed at a group of people.
The troops named by Gan Ning looked around, some even opened the eyelids of those who had fallen to the ground, and then carefully used their fingers to check the other person's breath.
Under everyone's nervous gaze, the tribe member said with a strange look on his face: "Brother, he...he is drunk."
"drunk?"
Gan Ning's men looked at each other, their eyes were so awkward that they could dig a warship out of the ground. It was just like what Wang Changsheng said, they were suspicious of each other.
"Why don't you apologize to Brother Changsheng?" Gan Ning said coldly.
The tribesmen lowered their heads and expressed their apologies.
Guan Yu waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about this. I never care about such trivial matters!"
Gan Ning asked, "This wine is very strong, Brother Changsheng, I wonder if my brothers can enjoy it to their heart's content?"
"Why not?" Guan Yu did not refuse.
Hearing this, the troops were overjoyed and shouted loudly. They racked their brains to think of all the good words to praise Guan Yu and Gan Ning.
Even though it's just a small bite
But it is also an extremely mellow wine!
As he held the wine glass and took a sip, the strong liquor began to hit Gan Ning's mouth, which made him secretly click his tongue. At the same time, the identities of Guan Yu and others became more and more confusing. Are the Wang brothers who can produce such fine wine really ordinary merchants?
Full of doubts, Gan Ning, Guan Yu, Jian Yong, Qian Zhao and others raised their glasses and drank together.
When they were drunk, Jian Yong seized the opportunity to say, "Time flies, how long is life? Brother Gan should make long-term plans, find two or three close friends, and accomplish great things! This is what a real man does!"
"Alas." Gan Ning put down his wine glass, shook his head and sighed, "Who doesn't want to accomplish something great? But the governor of Yizhou only focuses on the three-tenths of Yizhou and doesn't care about the talents of Yizhou at all. Even if you have talents in Yizhou, you have nowhere to use them!"
"Since Yizhou cannot enable you to show your talents, why don't you leave and seek other places?" Jian Yong asked tentatively.
"I want to leave too, but unfortunately there is no suitable opportunity." Gan Ning sighed deeply, and suddenly he seemed to realize something. He looked up at Jian Yong, and a look of disbelief appeared on his slightly drunk face.
"Could it be that Brother Wang has a way?"
"nature."
"Excuse me, I wonder who is behind Brother Wang?"
Jian Yong smiled, dipped his finger in the wine, and wrote the word "chaotang" on the table.
"The court."
Gan Ning muttered to himself, the emperor is still alive today, although his majesty is far less than before, except for Dong Zhuo, no one is openly a traitor.
Never mind. Never mind.
Gan Ning shook his head and decided not to think about it anymore. After all, Yizhou was controlled by Liu Yan. Judging from the three brothers of the Wang family, the people behind them treated them very well. Even if they took a step back, couldn't they just escape back?
Guan Yu noticed Gan Ning's hesitation and suggested, "Brother Gan, how about this? Let's make a gentleman's agreement."
"Gentleman's agreement?" Gan Ning became interested. "Brother Changsheng, what does this gentleman's agreement mean?" Guan Yu held up three fingers. "Let's compete in three rounds. The one who wins two rounds will be the winner. If you win, I will tell you the brewing technique of wine and the person behind it. If I win, I need the brocade and money on your ship, and you will go with me to meet the person behind it. What do you think?"
Based on what Qian Zhao said about Gan Ning's personality, as well as what he saw with his own eyes, Guan Yu was certain that Gan Ning was a person who placed excessive emphasis on enjoyment and pomp and circumstance. He didn't believe that Gan Ning would not be tempted by the fine wines far beyond that of this era!
Things turned out just as Guan Yu expected. Gan Ning was quite interested. It was the first time he tasted such fine wine. The wine he had drunk before was simply horse urine compared to this!
Comparing fine wine with splendor and money is simply an insult to fine wine!
If you lose your beauty and money, you can still steal them, but if you lose your wine, it is really gone!
Normally, Gan Ning should have nodded in agreement immediately, but this time he hesitated unusually. He was not without courage, but the problem was that he always felt that 'Wang Changsheng' was not an ordinary person, which made him a little afraid.
Qian Zhao obviously saw this, and he suggested, "Brother Gan, why don't you choose two of the competitions? What do you think?"
"Two items. Me?" He looked at Guan Yu in disbelief.
Guan Yu nodded. He didn't care what the competition was about.
As he thought about it, Guan Yu narrowed his eyes again.
This sudden wonderful news instantly overwhelmed his mind. Brother Wang Jian is such a good man!
In this way, wouldn't it be given to me for free?
If you still don’t agree, you must be the most stupid person in the world!
"Okay!" Gan Ning nodded vigorously, fearing that Guan Yu would suddenly change his mind.
Jian Yong asked, "Brother Gan, what do you want to compete with?"
"How about a naval battle and a cavalry battle? For a naval battle, you and I will each send out a large ship and a dozen light boats. This way, we won't hurt the relationship. For a cavalry battle, you and I will each send out fifty people to fight on horseback. What do you think?"
Gan Ning looked at the others nervously. After all, the competitions he mentioned were all his strengths. In terms of water battles, no one in Ba County could match him. In terms of horse battles, it was difficult for the elders in the tribe to defeat him.
To be honest, he felt that he was being bullied.
Look, even Wang Re, the oldest of the three brothers, was stunned.
But why do brother Wang look so strange?
Jian Yong was indeed stunned. It was not because Gan Ning's request was too harsh, but really. Really. These two items were exactly what Yun Chang wanted! In the horse battle, Yun Chang killed Hua Xiong, Yan Liang and Wen Chou. How dare Gan Ning do that!
When talking about water battles, Yu Jin and Pang De were full of swear words!
Oh, this naval battle is not like that naval battle. Even without mentioning Yu Jin and Pang De, relying on the navy that has been trained for a long time, Yunchang may not be weaker than Gan Ning!
Besides, isn't there one item left?!
The winner has been decided before the competition even begins!
"Brother Wang, why do you look like that?" Gan Ning asked.
Jian Yong restrained his expression and replied seriously: "I thought of something sad."
"Please accept my condolences for such a sad thing."
"I will."
Gan Ning did not intend to ask about other people's sad stories. He looked at Guan Yu and asked, "Brother Changsheng, what do you think?"
Guan Yu wanted to answer, but Qian Zhao beat him to the punch, "Brother Gan, I don't think that's appropriate."
"Oh? Brother Wang Jian, please try to explain it."
After a lot of argument, Qian Zhao successfully reduced the number of ships for naval battles and the number of people for cavalry battles to one large ship and two or three small boats, and the number of people was reduced from fifty to thirty.
The remaining competition was confirmed to be a fist-and-kick contest between Gan Ning and Guan Yu.
This tug of war finally put Gan Ning's heart at ease. Qian Zhao's violent reaction just proved that he had made the right choice of the two moves. After all, he had the advantage this time!
So he casually asked Guan Yu: "Brother Changsheng, what do you think?"
"Good!" Guan Yu narrowed his eyes, nodded, and clenched his fists.
His purpose, in addition to Gan Ning's talent, was to make Gan Ning spit out the stolen items and to beat him up severely.
