"Haven't you arrived yet?"

"Second master, don't worry, just turn a corner. Song Ye is waiting for you over there?"

Tang Yulin nodded, waved his whip, and said, "Have you seen the surroundings?" Song Qinglian This kid is not a fuel-efficient lamp, don't be fooled by him. ”

"Second master, don't worry, we have all seen it around, there is no ambush, only Song Ye, and the 10 or so people he brought. Because they didn't wear military uniforms when they came out today, all of them were plainclothes, so the titles of Tang Yulin and others also returned to before.

Zhang Sifei lifted the reins of the horse and said, "This time Song Qinglian invited us out to trap us, I don't think he will play any tricks." ”

Tang Yulin said: "That's what I said, but I can't be unguarded, who knows what ghost this kid hides in his heart." ”

While talking, they turned a corner, and sure enough, under a big tree not far ahead, there were two small grass huts, and there was a table in the shed, one person sitting in the middle, and seven or eight people standing around.

Seeing that Tang Yulin, Zhang Sifei and others had arrived, the man got up and came out of the shed, waited on the side of the road, and saluted with his fists: "Second brother, fourth brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I miss my brother so much." ”

This person's name is Song Qinglian, he has also studied for a few years, but the scientific examination has not been smooth, and he has not even been admitted to a show, and later because he offended a bully in his hometown, he was killed and his family was ruined, and he was introduced to Du Lisan's door, and with the power of Du Lisan, he killed the bully Manmen, and took revenge.

When Zhang Zuolin first debuted, he had a conflict with Du Lisan, at that time Zhang Zuolin's power was still small, and he was not Du Lisan's opponent, so he asked Tang Yulin and Zhang Sifei to reconcile the two families, Song Qinglian was Du Lisan's right-hand man, and rumors passed from it, so that the parties could be regarded as pulling some relationships, and later Tang Yulin, Zhang Sifei and Song Qinglian had some contacts, which was considered to be a friendship. Tang Yulin's nickname is Erhu, and Song Qinglian called him "second brother" to show closeness.

Soon after Zhang Zuolin led his troops into Guangning County, Tang Yulin and Zhang Sifei received an invitation from Song Qinglian and invited them to meet and catch up. And Zhang Zuolin originally took advantage of the old friendship between the two sides to convey some guiding information to the other party, and now the other party took the initiative to invite, naturally he would not miss it, although Tang Yulin and Zhang Sifei said that they did not know a few big characters, but they have been mixed in the green forest for many years and have rich experience.

So everyone discussed it again and determined what to say and what not to say after the meeting, and how to arouse the topic. So Tang Yulin and Zhang Sifei changed into civilian clothes and set off for the appointment with more than 10 old brothers.

After seeing Song Qinglian, Tang Yulin and Zhang Sifei turned over and dismounted, and also returned the salute, Tang Yulin said: "Old Song, our brothers haven't seen each other for almost two years, and it's always been good." ”

Song Qinglian said: "Thanks to the blessings of the two of you, you can still mix it up, come and come, come in and sit down and talk." ”

Tang Yulin and Zhang Sifei walked into the shed and took their seats at the table, when Song Qinglian's subordinates put up a few paper bags, which turned out to be a package of beef, two roast chickens, a roast fish, a roast rabbit and a bag of peanuts, and two jars of good wine.

Song Qinglian poured wine for the two of them, and said: "I haven't seen you for many years, and I don't have anything good to entertain the two of you here, it's really not a tribute, but these two jars of wine, but they are the best wine, and the two of you have to drink a few more bowls." ”

Tang Yulin drank a bowl of wine in one gulp, sandwiched a piece of beef and threw it in his mouth, and said, "Old Song, your kid still speaks with a drag, and it hasn't changed at all." ”

Song Qinglian smiled and said, "My nature is also difficult to change, and the second brother is also the straightforward temper of the year." ”

Zhang Sifei said: "Old Song, although my second brother and I are here to make an appointment, but the ugly words have to be said in front, our Captain Zhang is not an insurance team now, nor is he doing Qing court inspection, and he has taken refuge in East China, and now he is also a member of the People's Army." But the bowl of the end of the person will be managed by others, and I am not afraid of you to find fault with it, to put it bluntly, we are stationed in Guangning County this time to beat your big boss Du Sanye, so if you Lao Song want us to open up the net and let you go, then don't open this mouth. ”

Song Qinglian said with a smile: "The fourth child is still so shrewd, he blocked me with words first." I also opened the skylight and said bright words, I invited the two of you to come this time, just the brothers to catch up, not to talk about business, today to have a good drink, even if we meet tomorrow on the battlefield, but also for their own masters, do not show mercy. To put it mildly, if I am killed by the second brother on the battlefield, I will have no regrets, only blame my life, but if I beat the second brother to death, please also ask the second brother to go to the underworld and not blame the brother. ”

"Smack!" Tang Yulin slapped the table, only to shake the wine, and said loudly: "Happy, Old Song, just say this to you, our brothers will drink happily today." ”

So the three of them drank several bowls in a row, and drank up one jar of wine in a blink of an eye, Song Qinglian opened the lid of the second jar of wine, poured a bowl for Tang Yulin, and said: "Second brother, fourth brother, if you talk about it, you two are really developed now." Your Captain Zhang decided to take refuge in East China, this move is really right, and now East China is in the limelight, and there will definitely be a time to soar in the future. ”

Zhang Sifei said: "Old Song, if you want to say that you Du Sanye are also a character, you can do a good job in Jinzhou this time, and East China has never suffered such a big nose and small nose, so we were transferred to Jinzhou." Besides, don't you have the support of a big nose and a small nose now? These two great powers are serving you Du Sanye alone, and this blessing is not small. ”

Song Qinglian smiled and said: "Fourth, don't damage our big boss, aren't Russia and Japan the defeated generals of East China's **?" Now they support the big bosses, but they just want the big bosses to work for them, and Bi Jing is a foreigner, and he has never been of the same mind as us. It's your Captain Zhang, with a long-term vision, I also persuaded the big boss at the beginning, and taking refuge in East China ** is a way out, but unfortunately the big boss didn't listen, and now I'm afraid it's impossible. ”

Tang Yulin poured another bowl of wine and said: "What's so good about taking refuge in East China, it's not the same as working for others." ”

Zhang Sifei said: "It's nothing to say that we work hard for others, we haven't all been doing the work of licking blood on the knife edge over the years, and that day we didn't tie our heads to the belt of our trousers, but just mixed in the People's Army, which is really too embarrassing." ”

A bright light flashed in Song Qinglian's eyes, and he said, "How can you say it, could it be that the People's Army is treating you as outsiders?"

Tang Yulin said: "That's not it, our Bi Jing just defected, and it's not right for people to treat us as their own people all of a sudden, and it is impossible for us to believe in the people who came over at once." And as soon as we threw it over, we were given guns and bombs, at first it was a big nose of water beads, and not long ago they were replaced with new guns, they called 01 rifles, and the salary was not delayed every month, and there was no harsh deduction, it is said that this is indeed good for us, but there are too many fucking rules, this can't be done, that can't be done, even the fucking drink has to be hidden, don't hide it from the old Song You said, since you arrived in Jinzhou, only today I drank a good time. ”

Song Qinglian frowned and said: "This is indeed a little too strict, but since ancient times, a strong army is not a strict military discipline and military orders, and it is not unreasonable for the People's Army to defeat Russia and Japan. ”

Zhang Sifei said: "Actually, drinking or something is a trivial matter, although we are all big and coarse, but we still understand the principle of strict military discipline, but what kind of soldier committee has been established in the People's Army, soldiers can sue officers, but the soldiers can't beat or scold, and they want to be like fathers. ”

Song Qinglian was stunned for a moment and said, "Is there really such a thing? This is really rare." ”

Tang Yulin said: "Isn't it? We don't understand, what are the rules in this people's army?"

Zhang Sifei said: "Don't say it, don't say it, drink, drink." ”

The three of them made another big bowl, and Song Qinglian said again: "I heard that the newly appointed prefect of Jinzhou is a woman, is there really such a thing?"

Tang Yulin slammed the wine bowl on the table and said, "Speaking of which, this is what annoys me the most, get a girl to be the prefect, oh! What do girls know, they are only worthy of taking care of their children at home, and it's okay to take care of a shop, so they can manage the big things of this house. I estimate that the matter of this soldiers' committee, eighty percent of it is this girl who made up the ancients, it is really long hair and short knowledge, now it's good, our big men have to listen to a girl's management, and in the future, it will be spread out, and the brothers in the past must not laugh to death. That is, our old pimple can endure this breath, and if we want to replace your Du Sanye, I'm afraid it will be hairy a long time ago. ”

Song Qinglian smiled and said: "Who said no, but your female mayor's tone is really not small, and you really don't take our big boss in your eyes, and you only pay 20 silver dollars for capturing our big boss alive, which can make our big boss angry." I think that our big boss has been in Liaodong for more than 10 years, and he was humiliated by a girl, alas, the way of the world has really changed. ”

Zhang Sifei said: "Our dispatch this time was arranged by this girl. I can't help it, I can't help myself. ”

At this time, Tang Yulin was already 6 or 7 points drunk, and said: "Old Song, as a brother, give you a piece of advice, hurry up and go back and tell you Du Sanye, hurry up, this time the troops in Jinzhou can be sent, all of them have been sent, Guangning is our old pimple of men, Xingzhou there is another team, the two roads are no less than 6,000 people, there are dozens of cannons, you can't beat it, now we are waiting for the shells to be transported, as long as the shells arrive, we will immediately attack, that is, 2, 3 days, so you hurry up and run as far as you want, and don't blame the brothers for not reminding you when the time comes. ”
