But the current situation doesn't allow them any choice.
The man with the surname Huang kicked them twice and said, "What are you standing there for? Didn't you hear what His Highness said? Drink!"
The noble young man did not hide anything, and said frankly to the two, "In these two cups of wine, one is poisoned, and the other is not. If you drink the poisoned one, you will die within a quarter of an hour. If you choose the unpoisoned one, it means your fate has not run out, and you can leave here..."
The two of them turned pale, looking at the two identical cups of wine on the table, knowing they had no choice but to earnestly observe the liquid in the cups.
After observing for a few moments, one of them quickly reached out to pick up one cup, while the other was too late, tremblingly picked up the remaining cup, his face even paler than before.
The man with the surname Huang urged them upon seeing their hesitance, "What are you standing there for? Drink!"
Not drinking means certain death, while drinking gives a fifty-fifty chance of survival.
The two gritted their teeth and raised their cups simultaneously, drinking all of the wine in one go.
The noble young man walked over to another young man sitting and drinking tea, smiled, and asked, "Brother Ximen, who do you think drank the poisoned wine?"
Although he prepared these two cups himself, he had already messed up the order and didn't know which was poisoned and which was not.
The young man put down his teacup, flicked his fingers quickly, looked faintly at the person who first picked up the wine cup, and said calmly, "Death written all over his face, his fate nearing the end..."
The man shivered involuntarily, forcibly suppressing the panic in his heart.
The man with the surname Huang looked at the two and said, "You two, go wait outside. Don't dirty this place later."
The two walked out anxiously, and as soon as they stood in the courtyard, the man said to have fate nearing its end suddenly trembled all over, collapsed onto the ground, convulsing uncontrollably, spewing mouthfuls of fresh blood until he soon stopped moving...
The person beside him, witnessing this scene, although his legs were shaking fiercely, was filled with the joy of having survived a disaster.
Thankfully, thankfully, he was slow and didn't grab that poisoned cup...
He shakily looked at the man with the surname Huang and asked, "Steward Huang, can I go home now?"
The man with the surname Huang nodded and said, "Rest assured, His Highness keeps his word. He said you could leave, so you will leave..."
The man knelt on the ground, bowed several times, and thanked profusely, "Thank you, Steward Huang, thank you, Your Highness!"
The man with the surname Huang smiled and didn't say much.
Of course, he would let him leave, but he never said where to send him.
He came here and still wants to go back?
Given his physical condition and looks, although he cannot be sold as a high-price male prostitute, he can still be sold as a servant to Chu Country and Wei Country. As for Daxia, he can forget about returning for life...
The noble young man walked outside, looked at the corpse on the ground, waved his hand, and said, "Take it out and bury it. Then call two more people..."
After saying so, he walked back into the room and praised, "Brother Ximen truly lives up to his name, surely you will be the next Semi-Saint of the Ximen family..."
The young man closed his eyes without speaking, but his slightly curved lips showed he was quite pleased with these words.
At this moment, the noble young man said again, "I wonder if Brother Ximen could help me calculate my fate?"
The young man opened his eyes and asked, "What do you want to calculate?"
The noble young man laughed, "I want to see how long I can live..."
The young man shook his head and said, "With my current cultivation, I cannot calculate others' lifespans. If you want to know, give me your birth information, and next time I'll ask my grandfather to calculate it for you..."
The noble young man exclaimed with joy, "Thank you, Brother Ximen..."
He found paper and pen in the room and had just written down his birth information when the man with the surname Huang brought two more people here...
...
Yue Country.
Although named a country, Yue Country, unlike the Five Great Dynasties, has no complete control over the entire territory. The country is divided into ten provinces, and only half of the land is under the court's control.
The other five provinces are occupied by two major separatist forces within Yue Country.
These two forces declare externally as the White Wolf Army and the Black Tiger Army, occupying two provinces and three provinces respectively. The three forces frequently have conflicts, and territorial control often changes, always forming a tripartite balance.
In a heavily guarded deep mountain in the Qin State of Yue Country.
Loud slogans echoed through the mountains, and above, one could faintly see numerous soldiers drilling in the flat area of the mountain.
This was the base camp of the White Wolf Army.
Though named Yue Country forces, many people were clear in their hearts that behind Yue Country's court was Wei Country, the White Wolf Army was secretly supported by Daxia, and Chu Country stood behind the Black Tiger Army.
Next to the camp built with high walls, two figures suddenly descended from the sky.
An old man and a young man appeared, blurring the eyes of the sentries who immediately pointed their spears at them and demanded sharply, "Who goes there!"
This was the base camp of the White Wolf Army, constantly patrolled by troops, and soon these two were surrounded by a group of guards.
"Who goes there!"
"What business do you have here!"
Facing a circle of sharp weapons, the young man's face remained calm, casually threw something, and said, "Li Nuo, Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice of Daxia, where is the General of the White Wolf Army?"
A captain reached out, caught what was thrown, looked at it, and his expression immediately became solemn and said in a deep voice, "Wait here!"
After speaking, he hurriedly ran into the camp.
