Chapter 250: Chapter 23: Thousand Cups Not Drunk [Additional update for the Silver League’s disappointing downfall on 8.9] _2 Chapter 250: Chapter 23: Thousand Cups Not Drunk [Additional update for the Silver League’s disappointing downfall on 8.9] _2 Ma Daocheng and Ma Daogong were all smiles, conversing with Feng Yin with utmost humility and politeness. Their gratitude was evident and sincere.

After all, Feng Yin had not only saved their lives but also rescued the Western Army, preventing a potential collapse of the front line. The Marshals, embarrassed and grateful, continued their polite conversation.

“Divine Physician Nan, we… we are really embarrassed…” Ma Daocheng’s face was full of vexation.

“Our army carries nothing valuable with us to express our gratitude…”

“It’s really… really…”

Ma Daogong was also incredibly embarrassed.

But there was no alternative, who could carry a fortune in gold and silver during a campaign?

Not everyone was like Feng Ying, a second generation rich, who carried the Space Ring loaded with vast resources!

At this moment, the two Marshals practically had nothing to offer.

Even if they wanted to offer a token of gratitude to the physician, they had nothing to give.

Ordinary gold and silver… would those even matter to the Divine Physician?

The Marshals continued to express their gratitude until their tongues were dry, so much so that even they started to feel it was in vain. After all, what’s the use of words if they had nothing to back them up with?

Not only was it meaningless, it was morally wrong!

Although the Divine Physician repeatedly said it was unnecessary and he didn’t require any compensation, they still felt the need to show their gratitude in some way.

Since they had nothing to offer, they decided they would repay him later.

The way soldiers repay their benefactors is quite simple, no matter where or when, they would propose a toast… of death!

Two hundred and forty guards, known as the ‘Twelve Heavenly Horses’, took on the responsibility of safeguarding the camp; With twelve of them wearing the unique ‘Twelve Heavenly Horses’ uniforms, they kept a vigilant watch around the tent.

The others, dressed as ordinary soldiers, served as guards as well as waiters.

In an instant, large dishes of various foods were served.

In the army, meals were usually served this way. The aim was not for delicacy or good taste, but for quantity. Filling the stomach was the first priority.

Tubs big enough for children to bathe were filled to the brim with large chunks of meat, which trembled perilously.

Next to it, a larger tub was filled with big chunks of meat and bones still attached to glistening, quivering animal tendons, and oily chunks of meat.

Nearby, with a successive series of thuds, about twenty jars of wine were placed.

Don’t think that twenty jars of wine aren’t much. The wine jars in the military camp were so large that they were taller than a person and needed three people to embrace its circumference, which was larger than an ordinary cask or vat!

“Serve the wine!”

Ma Daocheng, flushed with excitement, commanded loudly.

“Yes, sir!”

Lv Yun Cheng hurriedly began to scoop wine with a ladle bigger than his head.

Feng Yin looked at the wine bowl in front of him, larger than a usual soup bowl, and was immediately taken aback, primarily because of the sheer size of it.

“Divine Physician Nan, come, have some wine!”

Lv Yun Cheng brought over a ladle of wine and poured it into Feng Yin’s wine bowl, giving Feng Yin a sudden sense of heaviness and further substantiating his initial apprehension.

He couldn’t help but nervously ask: “Is this how you usually drink wine?”

Ma Daocheng laughed, squinting his eyes: “Of course. If we use small wine cups, there’s no sensation of having anything in our mouths. This way is much more satisfying. A big gulp fills your mouth and you swallow it with a gugudong sound. How refreshing!”

He then leaned closer and said quietly: “Divine Physician Nan, you may not know this, but our Emperor prefers to drink this way. Every time there is a banquet, his enjoyment is affected by the small wine cups. Each sip he takes feels like he’s drinking poison…”

“So, after each royal banquet, we never leave immediately because the Emperor always asks us to drink with him… The wine cups in the palace are not as large as ours, but they are about half the size. Hehe… you could say the wine in the palace tastes much better than ours…”

Ma Daogong, standing aside, sighed: “Poor Emperor, facing a bunch of civil officials every day, he never has a chance to get drunk, even with the finest wine, he can only have a few sips. So pitiful…”

Feng Yin could only stare in speechless surprise.

Poor Emperor?!

That was… simply… ridiculous.

However, hearing their tales, Feng Yin strangely found himself warming up to the Emperor of Great Qin.

Everybody’s bowls were filled with wine, and the fragrance of wine filled the air.

Many men’s Adam’s apples quivered restlessly. The army had been under strict prohibition of drinking, and seeing wine now made their eyes red with excitement.

This was a rare occasion indeed.

“Divine Physician Nan, please! Mr. Zhuang, please! Mrs. Zhuang, please!”

Marshals Ma Daocheng and Ma Daogong rose gravely, holding their bowls.

In unison, all the officers present rose and held their bowls, “Divine Physician Nan, please!”

The four physicians also promptly rose, lifting their bowls, “Divine Physician Nan, please!”

Feng Yin, roused by the high spirits, no longer cared about the amount of alcohol or his own capacity. He rose swiftly, exclaiming heartily: “I’m honored to witness the camaraderie of the army today, as well as the invincible Western Army. Please!”

He threw back his head, took a deep gulp, and downed the bowl.
