It was night, and the starry sky in the sky hugged the moon, shining like day. A feast on earth and earth, and joy in the world.

Looking down from the sky, through the thin clouds, a little bit of fire is gradually amplified, and wisps of fire all hint at the beginning of the feast in this dark sky.

In the playground of this large university, people unloaded all kinds of training equipment and replaced them with hundreds of large round tables around the three large bonfires in the center. The bonfire is set up on a large iron plate on the ground to avoid scorching marks on the original ground in the future. And the flames of these three large bonfires soared into the sky, reaching a height of several zhang, illuminating the area brightly. The flames danced in such a bewitching way that they made their faces flush when they saw it. On the fence of the playground, countless small torches were also lit, echoing the three major bonfires in the center like the stars and the moon, as if they were also driven by the dancing posture of the bonfire.

And all this happened on the playground in the military camp of Tianya City. At this time, all the soldiers on the playground stood silently, all facing the same direction, waiting for the city lord's lecture before the feast began.

At the chairman's table, Zinle, Zehey, Rohr and Henla sat around here.

Originally, Sinle didn't want to entertain Henla. However, Henrah was in the position of a judge in Tianya City, and it was not interesting not to invite him, so even if Sinle didn't like Henra this person, he still wanted to invite him to come.

Henla didn't want to come either, but in order for his son Hena to get the opportunity to enter the capital, he cheekily brought a few wealthy gentry who had prestige in Tianya City to come together, wanting to use the prestige of the gentry to force Xinle to obey.

For the gentry brought by Henla, Sinle was first puzzled, and then after Zehai's guidance, he also knew Henla's intentions. The barracks are important, and no one can come in, but Xinle doesn't want to embarrass him too much at this banquet, so in desperation, he can only turn a blind eye.

At this moment, Xinle faced the soldiers standing in the playground, the gust of wind with the temperature of the bonfire slowly blowing, he felt the enthusiasm of the soldiers, he filled his wine glass, and got up to make an opening statement.

When the people at the chairman's table saw Xinle get up to make a ceremonial move, they also got up and agreed.

Looking at the endless crowd, Xinle did not have stage fright at all, held his head high, raised his wine glass to the sky, and said loudly: "Brothers, since the victory of the battle, because of the post-war tidying, I have not been able to treat everyone in time for two months, and this celebration banquet is set up today to celebrate well." The sound of a strong voice echoed throughout the playground.

Xinle scanned the faces of the soldiers as he spoke, and then continued: "But before the beginning of this banquet, I must first toast three bowls, these three bowls are not respectful to heaven and earth, only to respect people!"

"The first bowl, to the brothers who sacrificed. Without their sacrifices, there would be no peace today. With that, Sinle raised the bowl above his head with both hands and saluted in the direction of the dead soldiers in the tomb.

Everyone in the field responded, holding up their wine bowls. Others including Rohr and Henla also held up their wine bowls in style.

The light of the fire shone on the white and blue wine bowls on the top of the people, and the wisps of light yellow glowed. The breeze came slowly, wafting into the distance with the fragrance of wine, as if to bring people's thoughts to the deceased.

"Drink!"

A bowl of spirits enters the throat, swims around the stomach, spicy to the heart, bursts of sorrow, a bowl of spirits to send each other, and no longer gather together in this life.

Putting down the wine bowl, the soldiers neatly filled the second bowl, and the sound of pouring wine covered the playground.

Seeing that the soldiers stopped pouring wine, Xinleto put the wine bowl on his chest, saluted all the soldiers, and continued to say loudly: "Second bowl, respect to you, brothers, without your oath to the death, there would be no today's results in Tianya City." ”

"To all the brothers!", Xinle drank it down, then turned the bowl over as a sign of sincerity.

"To the city lord!" Feeling Xinle's enthusiasm, the soldiers gulped down their wines, and then poured the bowl to indicate that they had also drunk it all.

"The third bowl, benefactor!" Seeing that the soldiers were so powerful, Xinle immediately poured the third bowl and held up the wine bowl with one hand, "Although he is a first-order civilian, not a military personnel, he has a good plan for our army in the past, and then he has the power of one person to repel the first master of the Yarda Empire, Edin." Yawu saved a lot of our brothers. ”

Hearing this, Roolton immediately realized that this seemed to be talking about himself, and immediately turned his eyes to ask Zehai on the side.

Before he could ask, Zehai secretly winked at him and signaled Luo Er not to be nervous.

Before he could finish speaking, Zinler steadily took his drink to Rohr's side and continued: "His name is worthy of our memory, and his name is Crane, Rohr. ”

When Luo Er heard that he was talking about himself, he immediately persuaded in a low voice and quickly: "City Lord, don't respect me, I won't drink." "Actually, the two bowls just now, Luo Er just took a sip.

However, Zinle didn't pay attention to Rohr's meaning at all, and still said to himself: "There is no way to repay the grace of saving the city, so I can only kneel down and salute a bowl, hoping that the benefactor will smile." ”

After saying that, Xinle knelt down on one knee in an uproar, holding the wine to his chest, without a trace of joke on his face.

Seeing Xinle's kneeling, Rohr was directly frightened and wanted to quickly pull his hands together.

I saw that Luoer's hands were still in mid-air, and the soldiers were like golden waves, all kneeling down on one knee, holding wine with both hands, and a "respectful benefactor" shook the heavens and the earth.

Not only the soldiers, but Zehai and the others also knelt down to toast together, but only Henra and the others did not act for a long time.

"This ......" a man as big as Rohr has never tried such a scene, and he froze in place.

Zehai immediately persuaded: "Luoer, we kneel, you are justified, you don't have to be too restrained." As he spoke, a smile spread across his lips, and then he stole a glance at Henla and the others, only to see their faces blue.

Everyone knelt down, but only Henra was struggling with whether to kneel and toast too, and this scene seemed so abrupt.

In this heavenly city, although the power of the inquisitor is equal to that of the city lord, in terms of name, the prestige of the city lord is greater than that of the inquisitor. Now, since the city lords are kneeling, do you want to play a big card and not kneel?

Henla's melancholy face, his originally fat face is now so angry, his own purpose of coming here today is to help him get a place to go to the capital, if he kneels like this, it is undoubtedly to grow the morale of others to destroy his own prestige, so that his face can not be hung up? But as the parent official of Tianya City, he actually does not kneel and thank him, then wouldn't he be told by others that he doesn't know how to be grateful?

Hendra was conflicted. At this time, the squires who were traveling with Henra all had dark faces and asked Henra in a low voice: "My lord, what are we going to do about this? Do we want to kneel this kid?" Obviously, the gentry on one side also seemed unwilling to lower their bodies and kneel down to thank a hairy boy.

At this time, Henra also saw that his son Erfu was also serving wine and kneeling, but this could not be blamed for Erfu, now Erfu is a subordinate of Xinle, everything depends on Xinle's instructions, and he can't afford to kneel. Seeing this, Henla suddenly let out a sigh of relief, his fat face was soothed, and he walked up to Luo Er with a wine bowl without smiling, and said: "I have heard the prestige of Xiaoyou for a long time, and as the judge of Tianya City, I have not been able to thank the great benefactor of Tianya City in time, and I will also give you this bowl." After that, Henra also knelt down straight, and the people who accompanied Henla, seeing that the leaders all knelt down, also held back their old faces and knelt down on one knee.

Facing Henla's kneeling, Rohr just smiled embarrassedly, he didn't expect to participate in this banquet and have such a show, when Zehai asked him to participate, he only told him to eat, drink and have fun, and did not tell him that there was such an embarrassing scene.

And for Rohr, Henla is just a stranger, just the first time I saw him, for the stranger's kneeling, Rohr was even more wrong, and wanted to reach out to help Xinle, but Xinle was like a sculpture, he didn't get up, in desperation, he picked up the bowl of wine on the table, and shouted: "Okay, I also respect everyone!" After a sip of a bowl of spirits, he immediately choked on tears, and then quickly helped Xinle up.

Zinle also smiled with satisfaction when he saw Rohr drink a bowl. However, Henla's face darkened again, because Rohr did not help him, and when he knelt down, Henla deliberately revealed his identity, just to raise himself to give face to Rohr, so that Rohr also knew what to do. But Rohr didn't pay any attention to him at all, as if he didn't understand the world.

Seeing that Zinle got up, all the people followed suit, and then Zinle went on to give his opening speech at the banquet: "After this terrible war, we will ..... at all."

Taking the opportunity of Xinler's speech, Luo Er came to Zehai's side and asked in a somewhat reproachful tone: "Uncle Hai, why didn't you tell me in advance that there would be the one just now?!"

Zehai touched his mustache with the knuckle of his index finger, smiled, and said, "Why did you tell you in advance?"

"At least let me be prepared!"

"Going to let you escape?" Zehai quipped, in the past two months, Zehai and Luo Er have been getting along for a while, and learned that Luo Er is not too fond of publicity, so he didn't let him know that there would be such a scene, otherwise, maybe Luo Er would not be able to come back.

"Uh......" Rohlton was speechless.

“...... Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, everyone will rest, and I have already arranged for others to be on duty. Therefore, the brothers can get drunk and rest, and there is no need to worry too much. Today's feast has officially begun!" Xinle also finished his speech at this time, and after that, Xinle also glanced at the soldiers who were still on duty on the city wall. At the time, Zinler staggered them from the masses to celebrate, just in case.

As Zinle's voice fell, the soldiers shouted "Yes!" in unison, overshadowing all the voices in the audience, and then began their free activities, which slowly evolved from the initial whispers to the bustling of a vegetable market. Those who cross the table, those who sing and dance on the spot, those who indulge in drinking, and those who gulp meat, you name it.

Seeing that the soldiers were having such a good time, Xinle also calmed down, and then returned to the chairman's table and drank with Zehai and them.

At the chairman's table, after a round of persuasion, Henla, who was preoccupied, also opened the topic and said, "City Lord, do you think you should take advantage of the task handed over by His Majesty the King to discuss it now?"

After hearing this, Xinle and Zehai glanced at each other and smiled tacitly. "Inquisitor," said Zinle, "what are your plans?"

"Now that you've decided on a candidate, why don't you leave it to the young people to decide?" asked Henla.

Sinler nodded, a little in agreement, and then called the other table to the place.

"Your Excellency, Lord of the City. Is there anything wrong?", Ryver asked Henra and Sinle respectfully.

In this public place, it was natural that Henra could not be called his father.

Henla pulled a chair, arranged for him to sit down, and said, "It's nothing, just what do you think about competing with Raul for a place in the capital?"

He glanced at Luoer, but he didn't look at him, and found that his face was flushed, and the fire could not be hidden, it seemed that the stamina of the wine had come up, and then he looked at Xinle worriedly, and said: "I think that if you want to show the overall level of our Tianya City in front of the king, being able to fight is secondary, and being able to speak good ways is the first thing." ”

When Henra heard this, he quickly and secretly knocked on the legs of those squires. The squires realized that it was their time to appear, and said: "What the nephew said is very true, an uneducated person is just a fierce man if he has no military force. ”

He usually cowered, but now from this point of view, he must have been taught by Henla.

Xin Le and Zehai smiled heartily, it turned out that Huluzi sold such medicine. This Henra came to the gentry to tell his meaning through their words, and to keep himself out of the door. And they know that they are not Rohr's opponents, so they want to make up for what they think is an advantage.

And now, the fierce man with no force that the gentry refers to naturally refers to Luoer.

But Rohr didn't seem to notice the words of the gentry, he usually didn't drink a drop of wine, but now he poured a bowl of wine, and when his stamina came up, his eyes were dizzy and staggering.

Before Xinle and Zehai could fight for Luoer, Mengxi, who was at the same table next to him, shouted with an unhappy face, and said, "Hey, hey, what do you mean by this?

Meng's words were coarse and not coarse, and the gentry suddenly looked at each other.

Looking at Mengxi's beard full of wine beads, although Xinle and Zehai felt very rude, they also felt that Mengqi was very useful at this table, and before they could speak, they scolded them so that they had nothing to say.

Thinking of the scene where he knelt down to Xie Luo just now, Henra glanced at him and explained: "The gentry are not alluding to Luo Er's little friend, but they just want to explain the importance of education. You say yes, city lord?"

"Your Excellency, you're surprised, my subordinates are straightforward, and I hope your forgiveness. ”

Henra and Zinler exchanged a few words about the matter, and then turned to Rohr's opinion.

I only heard Henla ask, "Then I wonder what Rohr Xiaoyou thinks about me, the judge?" Henra once again identified himself, wanting to put some pressure on Rohr.

Luo Er didn't pay attention to it immediately, at this time, he was so drunk that he couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest, and only vaguely heard someone calling him.

Rohr failed to respond immediately, and once again made Henla's face darken.

Zehai patted Rolle on the shoulder, and repeated Henra's words roughly.

"Whew~~", Luo Er stretched his waist a little to sober up, picked his eyebrows with his index finger, and then propped his left hand on the chair, put his right hand on the table, and tilted his head on his left shoulder, looking sleepy-eyed, and then picked the bridge of his nose, and said: "In my opinion, that is the task assigned to you by the top, then you should be the proposition, instead of letting us the answerers ask and answer ourselves, if this is the case, how boring it is!"

Zehai coughed, almost coughing up all the wine he had swallowed. Earlier, Zinler had told Rolle that the man he was going to defeat was Urver, and Zehai would then tell Rolle how to answer him in front of Henla.

But now, alcohol is a problem, and Rolna can remember so much, drunk and crazy, and say whatever he wants.

Unexpectedly, Rohr did not play according to the routine at all, Henra was extremely depressed, I thought that Rohr would be forced to obey him, but I didn't expect to suffer a loss, you must know that you were the first person to propose to let Ruffer and Rohr make a decision, and suddenly felt that she couldn't hold her face.

As soon as these words came out, Xinle felt that the atmosphere was inappropriate, and said: "What Luo Er said is very true, this matter should be our mastery to be able to convince the public!"

At this time, when Henra saw that Xinle had given him the stairs, he quickly echoed: "Haha, I just want to ask their advice, and in the end, we have to come up with a title." ”

Rohr smiled as relieved as if he had saved a lost lamb, but that seemed to Henra rather unbeaten.

Then, Luo Er felt that there was nothing wrong with him, and he said: "City Lord, Uncle Hai, I feel a little dizzy, why don't I go back to sleep first?"

"Brother, you're drunk. Meng Ji laughed, "Do you think you can drink all over the world?"

"Big brother, don't talk nonsense, I've never been drunk. ”

Looking at Luo Er's appearance, Zehai said worriedly: "Why don't I find someone to help you go back?"

Rohr waved his hand, insisting on leaving alone, so as not to spoil the others' spirits, and left the table alone.

Walking in the midst of the bustling crowd, Rohr's head was swollen, and everyone he saw was ghosted.

Suddenly, a female voice attracted Rohr. He looked in the direction of the woman's voice, and saw three large campfires surrounded by a circle of soldiers.

In a daze, Luo Er only felt that the female voice was familiar, and when he walked by, he was roasted by the bonfire, and suddenly he woke up a little bit, and then remembered that Weaving Core was going to perform a song and dance here today.

Raul squeezed through the crowd, and his voice grew clear, changing from a heroic singing voice to a soft one.

Finally squeezed in, Luo Er saw that in the inner circle, some of the soldiers were sitting cross-legged, and some were half-squatting, but none of them were deeply attracted by the daughter in front of them, and when they reached the wonderful place, they were even more violently clapped.

Finding a visual open spot, Rohr sat cross-legged and asked a veteran next to him what the play was about. Only then did I learn that this play is about a woman disguised as a man to fight on the battlefield and return triumphantly.

When he heard it, Luo Er felt that it was a bit like the story of Mulan joining the army on behalf of his father, and he was excited, holding his chin and watching quietly.

I saw that the weaving core changed into soft women's clothes, and her long hair was no longer coiled, but dressed up as "cloud bun, trimming eyebrows", her hands were like soft wattles in the air slightly lifted, really out of the curtain, like a wisp of green smoke, faded out, and when she came out, she still held a xylophone and half covered her face.

Luo Er smiled, this image was not at all like the usual core sister in his mind.

She gently came to her father in the play with that graceful posture, saluted slightly, and sang: "I haven't seen you for many years, father, you have a white head, thinking back on time, year after year, I have not been able to accompany you, and the child is not filial! ”

Just listening, she tried to play it a few times, and before the song was completed, it made people gradually enter the initial state, and then plucked the strings and turned the shaft to play, the sound was sad and desolate, implying longing.

The listeners all listened quietly and wept secretly, only the sparks that drifted in the wind moved with the wind.

She turned her head down and played softly, and the stabbing and intermittent sound of the piano suddenly played, as if the sound of the piano was swimming in the cold ice, condensing unevenly, and a kind of melancholy and resentment quietly grew, and this muffled sound seemed to be more touching at this time.

Suddenly, the sound of the piano was like lightning, fast and powerful, like the momentum of a golden iron horse charging into battle, swords and guns rang out in unison.

At this time, the people outside the play straightened their waists, as if they were on the battlefield.

At the end of the song, the father in the play was already in tears, and he sang tremblingly: "The country needs, I can't help myself, I don't blame you, I just suffer you." ”

Listening to his father's understanding in the play, at this moment, Rohr sobbed slightly, he closed his eyes, and infinite thoughts welled up in his heart. Maybe it was because he cried and felt more comfortable, but Rohr gradually fell asleep with the warmth brought by the wind.

I don't know how long it took, but a "Luoer" gently woke up Luoer. Rohr dimly found that the opera had already ended.

"I asked you to come and watch me perform, and you fell asleep by yourself. Weaving Core said with some dissatisfaction.

"I'm sorry, Sister Weaving Core, I drank some wine and was homesick, and then I fell asleep. ”

"What?" Weaving Core's eyes widened, "I just played so badly that it made you homesick?"

"No, it's that you played so well that you couldn't help but fall asleep. Rohr coaxed.

"Are you listening so closely? So how good is that?"

Facing the questioning of the weaving core, Luo Er wiped his cold sweat and said: "Let's put it this way, your play reminds me of two very good classical Chinese!"

"Classical Chinese?"

"It's over, there is no such thing as classical Chinese in this era. ”

Rohr thought embarrassedly, then scratched his head and explained: "Well, that's it, the kind of article that is probably written in poetry." ”

The first time he heard that he could write an article in poetry, he was immediately interested, and said, "Then you memorize it, let me listen to it, how about writing?"

In this era of different cultures, Luo Er is incompetent even if he recites it, he hurriedly quibbled: "Sister Zhixin, classical Chinese can only be deeply understood by writing it, and it is not interesting for me to say it like this." ”

Weaving Core tilted his head slightly, looking not very convinced, and then pointed his finger at Luoer, emphasizing: "That's okay, then you owe me two pieces of classical Chinese." ”

"Forehead ......"
