Chapter 260 Drunkard Entangles Her 2_1
Lu Zhengchen chuckled and continued, "So, you see, the people from the Dugu Family really know what’s what! They made their move early and lured such an exceptional Crown Princess Consort into their family."
Yang Yaozong nodded repeatedly, "Exactly, I admire them so much! And you know what, I heard that even the Crown Prince has joined Tianji Pavilion and become a disciple. His martial skills are incredible, renowned throughout the army! You don’t know, General Li is always grumbling that Old Master Dugu is a cunning old fox indeed!"
Lu Zhengchen laughed heartily, "Hahaha, General Li and the others must be regretting it too late now."
Yang Yaozong also nodded and laughed heartily, "You can say that again! It’s not just General Li’s family who’s regretting not seizing this great opportunity; the other families are also beating their chests and stomping their feet in regret, hahaha..."
Once Yang Yaozong finished laughing, Lu Zhengchen suddenly turned serious and said in a solemn tone to Yang Yaozong, "Speaking of which, Little Brother Yang, what do you think, if I want to ask this master of Spiritual Wine brewing to come out of seclusion and represent Shenzhou Country in the international wine festival’s competition, would she agree to help?"
Yang Yaozong smiled, "You can dream on! A person from a Hidden Faction who can brew such divine wine, would she compete in wine brewing with mere mortals? That would be quite the joke, lowering her own standard!"
Lu Zhengchen said with a look of dejection, "I know it’s going to be difficult, that’s why I came to discuss it with you!"
Seeing his friend’s disheartened appearance, Yang Yaozong quickly waved his hand, "Alright, alright, go ahead, I’m all ears."
Lu Zhengchen sighed deeply and said, "You know our country has never won first place in the wine competition held at the international wine festival. I love wine, and for the internationalization of the national liquor industry, I’ve poured my life’s efforts into this. If I die without bringing home this ultimate honor for our country, then I, Lu Zhengchen, truly will not rest in peace!"
Yang Yaozong looked at his old friend’s dispirited state and, recalling how his entire life was devoted to the cause of the country’s wine industry, to putting Shenzhou Country’s wine on the world map, and to striving for national honor, a flicker of admiration crossed his eyes.
