A soldier who understood walked toward Liu Mang and filled two wine glasses to the brim.
“Bottoms up, gentlemen!” Liu Mang then reversed his glass after drinking those two glasses to show it is already empty to those scholars below.
With Liu Mang's action, those scholars also followed Liu Mang's lead.
First cup, second cup, third cup, that leader of scholar's face became more cheerful. He then thought “Drink, drink and drink more and you will be drunken and start to humiliate yourself!”
Fourth cup, fifth cup. The leader's smile started fading and started being uncomfortable. But he withstood his discomfort because he wanted to see this Rascal in drunken state but his state is actually is worse than Liu Mang.
However Liu Mang's face also showed signs of struggle, making that leader's mood quite happy.
Sixth cup, seventh cup, eighth cup, the leader felt little dizzy. There are many scholars who were also unable to withstand intoxication and their complexions were already red, but they were still holding on.
They all wanted to see the limit of this rascals drinking prowess. They had drunk a total eight cups, but the rascal drank 16 cups.
Ninth cup, tenth cup, eleventh cup. The leader was reaching his limit. His complexion became very purple because he was holding down his vomit. If he vomited now, his disgrace would be unsightly.
“Come, come, come, drink one more cup!” Liu Mang once again reach for his glass and toasted again.
Come on, you want to see me humiliate myself right? Come drink with me again.
“Your Highness Prince of Shu, I could not drink anymore, we take our leave now, we take our leave!” When the leader made the scheme to humiliate Liu Mang, he didn't take into consideration Liu Mang's drinking prowess. 22 glasses of wine!!! Even military generals do not possess this prowess. But Liu Mang only felt a slight discomfort during his early toast. The later it went on, he had already adapted to the wine.
“No, do not leave, do not leave, keep drinking with me!!!” Want to escape, huh?! After provoking me, do not even dream about escaping!!!
Then Liu Mang held the back of the leaders neck and said. “Meeting a worthy drinking adversary, even one thousand cups is not enough to get you tired. Today is General Sun Ce's happiest day, if you did not drink, you do not respect me. If you did not drink, you did not respect General Sun Ce!!!
Come, drink again!!!”
