I'm not a god of wine

Chapter 97 Void Spirit Pill

The white-faced and beardless middle-aged man on the left is named Xiao Yuandao, and he is the governor of Yangzhou.

On the right is Kou Huai in black armor.

In the middle of the two is the person who just applauded. He is about sixty years old, with gray beard and hair, and looks calm and majestic.

His surname is Yang Mingyi, and he is the governor of Jiangnan Province.

The three giants in the entire Jiangnan are in this small wing, drinking and eating meat, enjoying themselves.

It's also a coincidence.

Originally, the three of them got together to celebrate Zhen Mowei's annihilation of a sub-altar of Yinxian Sect, and to celebrate Kou Huai's success, but they didn't expect such a grand event to happen, so they naturally wanted to stay and watch.

A few hundred feet away, Kou Huai saw Xu Le who was playing chess with Qian Feng at the Baichuan Chess Club.

He was taken aback for a moment, but then he remembered that this young man was the boy who he went to Jialing that day and sent out the extremely precious Demon Guard Recommendation Order.

When did this boy become a monk?
Kou Huai thought about it secretly, with a calm face, he smiled at Yang Yi and said, "Master Governor, in your opinion, which of these two will win?"

"The method of relying on the power of Tianyuan has been out for many years. It was the unique skill of Lin Weicheng, the chess king back then, and it is now reappearing in the world..."

Speaking of this, Yang Yi stroked his beard, and said slowly: "From the point of view of this governor, it is natural that rebooting has a better chance of winning."

"Oh." Kou Huai nodded, turned to Xiao Yuan and said, "What do you think, Lord Inspector?"

"I don't know how to play chess, but I think that Qian Feng has been famous for many years and is known as a little chess master. On the other hand, the rebooting has only recently become famous. Well, it should be that Qian Feng has a better chance of winning, right?"

This old fox.

Kou Huai looked at Xiao Yuandao and cursed secretly in his heart.

Generations of the Xiao family have said that Xiao Yuan doesn't know how to play chess, who would believe it?

This old fox is selling it to Yang Yi.

After all, Yang Yi's age has reached the time to retire, and the next governor of Jiangnan Province has not yet been decided. The imperial court selects the governor, and the opinions of the predecessor take a lot of weight in it.

Xiao Yuandao had been sitting in the position of governor of Yangzhou for nearly seven years, and he probably couldn't wait to move his butt.

"General Kou, what do you think?"

Kou Huai was thinking about it when Xiao Yuandao suddenly asked him with a smile.

"Hahaha, Kou Mou is a rough man, how can he know how to play chess. I am familiar with the art of war and battle formation, but I don't know anything about these things, I don't know anything about them."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it down in one gulp, as if he was just watching the excitement.

This is a matter between Yang Yi and Xiao Yuandao. To put it bluntly, it is some kind of transaction between the two political leaders of Jiangnan Dao.

Kou Huai belongs to the Zhenmowei system, he does not want to participate, nor does he dare to participate.

Meddling in political affairs is a taboo in Zhenmowei. Don't you see that the previous governor of Zhenmawei was ordered to be executed by the late emperor for interfering in the local area.

There are more than five hundred people in his family, and even the heads fell, not one of them was left behind.

Yang Yi and Xiao Yuandao looked at each other calmly, with a slight smile in their eyes.

The best thing about Kou Huai is that he sees clearly and knows what to do and what not to do. Therefore, it is very comfortable for Yang Yi and Xiao Yuandao to partner with him to govern Jiangnan.

"Hahaha, General Kou is too modest." Yang Yi smiled and did not persuade him any more.

It was Xiao Yuan who opened his mouth and said to Yang Yi: "Since General Kou won't participate, then it's up to him. Master Yang, why don't you and I make a bet?"

"coming."

Kou Huai's heart skipped a beat, and he drank by himself without saying a word.

"Oh? How do you bet?" Yang Yi put down his wine glass and looked at Xiao Yuandao with a half-smile, looking interested.

Xiao Yuandao stroked his short three-inch beard, and said with a smile: "I bet on the winning or losing of the game between the two, and I bet on a Void Spirit Pill from the hands of the national teacher. I don't know what Master Yang thinks?"

Void Spirit Pill!
Hearing these three words, Kou Huai suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Xiao Yuandao in disbelief.

He didn't expect Xiao Yuandao to pay such a price in order to please Yang Yi.

The Void Spirit Pill is a elixir that helps a fourth-rank strongman break through a third-rank grandmaster, and it can increase the breakthrough probability of a warrior by [-]%.

Don't underestimate the two percentage points, with or without the assistance of Void Spirit Pill, the probability of breaking through can be said to be very different.

This elixir is extremely precious, especially the Void Spirit Pill from the hands of the national teacher, which has reached a terrifying value.

That national teacher is the only Alchemy King in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

Almost all the imaginary pills he refined were top grade.

This alone is enough to drive all monks crazy.

However, most of the imaginary pills are exclusively for the royal family and the Suppressing Demon Army, and only a small number of them flow into the common people, and they are simply priceless.

The value of a Void Spirit Pill can definitely buy half of the bustling city of Yangzhou.

When Xiao Yuandao uttered the words "Xu Ling Pill", even Kou Huai trembled in his heart, and there was a trace of longing in his eyes.

Yang Yi's lips trembled twice, he suppressed the excitement in his heart forcibly, looked at Xiao Yuandao and said solemnly: "Brother Xiao, do you really have the Void Spirit Pill in your hand?"

"That's right, this pill was given by my ancestors of the Xiao family who made military exploits with the late emperor, and this is the only one."

Xiao Yuandao nodded, and said solemnly.

Yang Yi's face was flushed. There was an old man in his clan who had been trapped at the peak of the fourth rank for many years and dared not break through.

Because, there is a saying that the entrance of the fourth rank and the third rank is called the entrance of life and death.

If you break through, you will live, if you fail, you will die, there is no luck at all.

If he can get the Void Spirit Pill in Xiao Yuandao's hands, that old man can try to break through. Once successful, it means that their Yang family has also become a grand master family.

With a master behind him as a backer, the official position under Yang Yi's buttocks may be able to move again and go straight to the center.

This is simply a great thing.

Yang Yi took a few deep breaths, pondered for a moment, and said to Xiao Yuandao: "Since that's the case, I'll bet on the first place recommended by Jingcha, what do Master Xiao think?"

Jingcha is the evaluation and promotion system for officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

It is conducted once every three years to assess the achievements of officials. If an official wants to be promoted, he must receive three high-level evaluations before he has a chance to be promoted.

Xiao Yuandao has been an official for many years, and has already accumulated two senior evaluations.

If Jingcha can still get a high evaluation next time, it is very likely to be promoted.

But he knew that this was not enough insurance, if Yang Yi could put his name in the recommendation book of Jingcha, and then hand it over to the imperial court.

Then his position as the governor of Jiangnan Province will be assured.

Some people may feel that it is a loss to exchange a Void Spirit Pill for a promotion opportunity, but in Xiao Yuandao's view, this is a matter of everyone taking what they need and everyone is happy, and it couldn't be more cost-effective.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yuan and Yang Yi looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

The banquet became lively again, and the three of them exchanged cups, blushing from drinking.
