In the main hall, Cao Jin directly rejected Emperor Zhou’s suggestion to compete.

Emperor Zhou narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, “This martial arts competition is just entertainment for the banquet. Since the Yan envoys don’t dare, then forget it.”

Cao Jin said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, “Your Majesty, it’s not that we don’t dare to. It’s just that we’re tired from traveling. In addition, we’re not experts in martial arts. If you want to see the bravery of the Yan Country’s martial artists, Your Majesty can let these talents follow me back to the Yan Country’s capital and compare with our country’s youths!”

He immediately straightened his body and looked around the hall. He laughed loudly and said, “However, this banquet is indeed a little boring. If everyone wants to compete on something else, I will accompany you at any time. I can play zither, chess, calligraphy, calligraphy, poetry, wine games, finger-guessing games, and matching words.

I believe that in Zhou Country’s great country, there is no need to only compete through fighting and bravery, right? Furthermore, if this banquet is filled with blood, it would be too depressing.”

It was very obvious that Emperor Zhou’s overbearing attitude had made this ambassador dissatisfied.

He was not willing to fight, but that did not mean that he had to endure.

Emperor Zhou frowned slightly. This fellow did not wish to compete through martial arts, but in other aspects. The problem was that the people he had gathered mainly had extraordinary martial arts talent.

Originally, Emperor Zhou thought that his overbearing attitude would anger these people from the Yan Country. He wanted to incite them to have a public competition, where both sides would choose some people with similar cultivation levels to fight against the other party. However, he did not expect that this official would not fall for the trap and instead compete in other aspects!

Since he had spoken, Emperor Zhou naturally did not want to lose face!

He pondered for a moment and said, “Since that’s the case, let’s play a drinking game first. The first game will be XX, and the loser will be punished to drink!”

The Six Quotes Game was a prevalent drinking game played here. It was to first pick a word, and then pick a sentence in the six quotes given. The sentence must contain this word. If anyone could not answer it or if the answer was too forced, they would drink!

The reason why Emperor Zhou chose the Six Quotes Game was because in his opinion, the difficulty of the game was not high. Even these youths who spent all their time cultivating should not have any problems.

Cao Jin smiled and said, “I have no problems, but since it’s to entertain and enjoy, this humble official suggests that we should do it as a continuous round robin system. If any side fails to answer, then everyone on that side will drink wine.”

“Alright!” Emperor Zhou agreed.

Cao Jin smiled, “Then please be a witness, Your Majesty.”

Emperor Zhou agreed, he naturally wouldn’t personally go and play such games with Cao Jin.

“Since that’s the case, let’s start with the word ‘wine’!” Emperor Zhou set the question.

In Emperor Zhou’s opinion, this question was not difficult. There should not be a winner for a while!

However, he had overestimated the group of people he had invited today.

Most of these people were young and had extremely high cultivation levels. How could they be interested in ancient books and such?

In just four or five rounds, his side could not match up!

They could only helplessly drink!

As the strong wine entered his throat, Su Wen didn’t feel too good! The Zhou Emperor didn’t bring out any ordinary wine for today’s banquet. Instead, he brought out the royal palace’s secret spirit wine. Even a martial artist would faint from drinking too much and get drunk!

The drinking games continued. The Great Zhou youths however faced consecutive defeats and drank more than ten rounds straight.

At this time, within the Yan Country’s delegation, someone complained to Cao Jin, “Lord Cao, can you lose this round? I’m already thirsty.”

“That’s right. Lord Cao, why don’t you let us have a drink? They’re being too greedy!”

“Lord Cao, you too. They are all youths, why are you so serious?”

All sorts of sarcastic remarks came.

Emperor Zhou’s face was ashen. To him, losing face like this was unacceptable!

He felt a little regretful. If he had known this would happen, he would have found some scholars as well.

He looked at the Great Zhou people and said, “In the path of drinking games, these people are still young. They are indeed inferior to Official Cao in the scriptures and history books. If you have any areas you are good at, you can seek advice from Official Cao. After all, Official Cao has just said that poetry, music, zither, chess, calligraphy, calligraphy, and even drawing fists, games, and pairings are fine!”

Everyone looked at each other. The Third Prince suddenly stood up and said, “Since that’s the case, I’ll ask Official Cao for some chess skills!”

Cao Jin smiled and said, “Sure, it’s just a game of chess. Since it’ll take a long time, how about ten cups of wine for the losing party?”

“Alright!” The Third Prince agreed.

‘Good my ass! You stupid c*nt, it would be a miracle if you could win!’ Su Wen couldn’t help but curse internally.

However, he also knew that at this time, there was no chance for him to stand out and object.

At this moment, Cao Jin looked at Yan Luoying and said with a smile, “Since General Yan is from a military family, you must be skilled in chess. Can I be so bold as to invite you to play with me as well?”

This fellow was actually multitasking. One against two, it was clear how confident he was!

Yan Luoying stood up and said, “Okay!”

At this moment, she had also drunk a lot of wine and her face was slightly flushed.

Under Emperor Zhou’s order, someone immediately delivered the chess set!

The match began!

After Cao Jin took a few steps forward, he raised his head and smiled, “Everyone, please don’t be so cold and cheerless. The drinking games can continue!”

This guy wanted to multitask!

Everyone only saw Cao Jin swiftly placing down his pieces as he continued to recite the drinking games. No matter what question Emperor Zhou used, it was difficult for the Great Zhou people to win.

Pa!

Cao Jin placed one last chess piece down. He then raised his head to look at the Third Prince, smiling, “Thank you for letting me win!”

On the other side, Yan Luoying was also deep in thought.

Her chess game was not any better than the Third Prince’s!

“I lost too!” Finally, Yan Luoying surrendered!

Cao Jin smiled and said, “In that case, everyone in your group needs to drink 20 cups of wine. As for the two of you, you will need to add the number of cups from the drinking games we held in the meantime; both of you will drink 35 cups!”

The expressions of the Great Zhou people did not look good. At this moment, many people could not drink anymore.

But if they chose not to drink it, they would be laughed at!

All of them could only raise their wine cups and drink forcefully. It was also fortunate that they were all martial artists with outstanding physiques and could still hold on.

Su Wen’s eyes were a little dazed as he muttered, “F*ck your father… Is there no end to this…”

“I want to play the finger-guessing game with you!”

Wu Lie stood up. His eyes were red as he pointed at Cao Jin.

“Come!” Cao Jin was fearless.

But as expected, Wu Lie lost!

“I’m not convinced!”

“Then let’s continue!”

“I’m still not convinced!”

“No problem!”

This Wu Lie had a one-track mind. He lost more than ten rounds in a row!

At this moment, the people from the Great Zhou’s side were all twisted and crooked, somewhat out of shape.

Emperor Zhou’s face darkened.

“Continue…” Wu Lie still wanted to try!

At this moment, a hand grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back.

“Don’t f**king continue. I can’t drink anymore. If you can’t win, then get lost!”

It was Su Wen…

He really couldn’t stand this f**king idiot anymore. It was fine if he went up and lost a few rounds, but he lost more than ten rounds in a row and still did not want to come down. Wasn’t this simply feeding his opponent?

Su Wen sat in front of Cao Jin and panted heavily. He forced out a smile before saying, “Lord Cao, right? Come, let’s play a game!”

Cao Jin smiled. “What game?”

“Have you heard of ‘Snatching Thirty’? It’s just between you and me, and we’ll check off the numbers one to thirty. Each person can either call one or two numbers at once. At the end, whoever manages to call out the number thirty will win!”

Cao Jin digested the rules of the game, pondered for a moment, and smiled. “Interesting! Alright!”
