At 10:10 a.m., Gongyue took Nan Nian's arm and walked into Afangyuan.

Although there are still twenty minutes before the start of the banquet, eighty percent of the guests have already come to the scene. Minister Tong and Minister Qiao also arrived in advance, and the whole scene was extremely lively and harmonious, although Gongyue didn't know many people, it still didn't prevent her from raising a smile and nodding to greet everyone.

She has been a lady of the southern family for some days, and now she is the mother who sits in the second-in-command position of the southern family with her son, and then she is intimidated by these scenes and interactions, which is not only a denial of her whole person, but also a humiliation of the southern lineage, so she holds her head high and follows the southern Buddha to deal with the guests elegantly and calmly, showing the last bit of demeanor of the old southern family.

Gongyue is the first time to come to Afangyuan, when I first came to the Nanjia Garden, I felt that the residence of the four major families was magnificent and amazing, the scale was large, it was rare, but when I arrived at Afangyuan, I found that the southern garden was nothing, Afangyuan was hundreds of miles away, standing on a high place and looking at both sides, the palace pavilion garden, the pavilions and pavilions were endless.

There are rockeries and waterfalls everywhere, some are actually hot springs, 10,000 flowers and trees are gently swaying in the real and false flowers and leaves, it can be regarded as beautiful, occasionally there are a few old trees that have not yet grown leaves, and some scenic spots in the capital are the same, cut into flowers and leaves with colored silk, and tie them on the trees one by one, so that the whole Afang Garden is evergreen in all seasons, confusing the eyes of tourists.

During the period, the waiter in black and white costumes carried a tray, and sent delicious food to Nan Nian Buddha and Gong Yue, the amount was not much, but they were all unheard of food in Gong Yue, Nan Nian Buddha had already been familiar with the banquet style, and ate unceremoniously, Gong Yue tasted it casually, only felt that it was quite delicious, and someone sent snacks and drinks all the way to appreciate it, which was particularly comfortable.

Gongyue looked at the scene in his field of vision: "What a good place!" ”

Nan Nianfo, who was beside her, hugged her waist slightly, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a warm smile: "Of course it's a good place, otherwise how can it be called Afangyuan?" In the past, the place where the Son of Heaven hunted and recreation, if it was not a good place, where else could it claim to be a treasure of feng shui? And what you are looking at now is only the tip of the iceberg of Ah Fang Yuan. ”

Gongyue sighed: "With the world's resources in hand, it's no wonder that so many people want to be emperors!" She looked sideways at the powerful ladies who were talking together, and squeezed out a sentence against Nan Nianfo's body: "I used to wonder why Mrs. Du didn't go to the State Guest House to entertain all parties, after all, it was convenient and fast there, but now I look at it, if I am in her place, I am afraid that I will come here." ”

"The land of the Son of Heaven, the purpose is clearly visible、、、"

Before Gongyue finished speaking, Nan Nianfo put up her finger to block her red lips, and a bright smile appeared on her face: "Daughter-in-law, the highest level of speaking is to never speak too completely, that will bring unnecessary trouble to yourself, in addition, we are here to eat today, I heard that there is puree and local pork, I will take you to see the wine pool later!" ”

Gongyue was stunned: "Wine pool? ”

Nan Nianfo pulled the woman forward, and laughter flowed from her lips: "Let's go, let's talk to the guests a few times first, although I don't have an official position, and few people will give us enthusiasm, but we must maintain the same quality and heritage as always, we can't just lower our heads because people look down on us, that will only make people trample on us more!" ”

Gongyue and Nan Nian Buddha turned around three times in the front yard of Pingtian Palace, dealing with more than a dozen benevolent magnates in the capital, and then they were taken by Nan Nian Buddha to a heavily guarded pool, Gongyue could hardly believe her eyes, she actually saw the wine pool, the blue waves in front of her, the radius was very wide, and there was a strong smell of wine, like a Yao Pond in the sky.

The constantly tumbling wine pool, as well as the smell of wine wafting in the air, warm and making people feel that it is not dark at this moment, Gongyue only feels that she has reached a fairyland, her eyes are flashing with curiosity, she used to think that the wine pool meat forest is pure nonsense, but now that I look at it, it is really the storage of this thing, and this wine pool is half larger than in the film and television.

Nan Nianfo nodded to several guarded Du family bodyguards, and then hugged the woman and smiled: "Don't you think it's spectacular?" This wine pool is enough for each guest to drink ten catties, or in the case of not blending, if the alcohol concentration is reduced, 10,000 people will have no problem drinking, I heard that Mrs. Du transported it from Xinjiang City, and the royal secret recipe was prepared. ”

"Drinking it can prolong life, and it is the special imperial wine of the ancestor Cixi in the past."

Hearing Nan Nian's words, Gongyue's beautiful eyes couldn't help but narrow, and she subconsciously repeated a few words: "Jiangcheng? The royal secret? Imperial wine? The corners of her mouth hooked up a smile: "It's a little interesting, Mrs. Du is really well-intentioned, but she doesn't worry about what goes wrong with the secret recipe, will it make the people present drink bad stomachs?" ”

Seeing the cold eyes of the leading Du family's bodyguards, Nan Nianfo suddenly pulled the woman next to him: "Don't talk nonsense, Mrs. Du's wine is all high, how can she drink it badly?" I'm here for pure insight, and don't talk too much about it. He pulled the woman and walked outside: "The banquet is about to begin, let's go and listen to the president. Let's make a speech. ”

Gongyue nodded, but when she turned around, she glanced at the wine pool.

When Gongyue followed Nan Nian Buddha to the lawn of Pingtian Palace, the wide and bright place was already full of many powerful people, Dongfang Xiong, Qiao Pingyong, Wan Staff Officer, Jin Gege, Li Yongcai, and Wu Guozhong were all clearly visible, they all lowered their interest in talking, and even lowered their eyes on the table in front of them, obviously Du Tianxiong was about to appear to speak.

At this time, there are still many people gathered on both sides, this place is wide enough, so there are nearly five hundred guests and guards, but it still does not make the space seem cramped, but Gongyue is a little sweat, she exhaled a long breath and said to Nan Nianfo: "Nianfo, the scene is too big, I'm still a little nervous, you stay here, I'll go to the bathroom!" ”

Nan Nianfo said softly: "I'll go with you?" ”

Gongyue shook her head and poked her finger into his forehead: "I'm going to the bathroom, what are you going to do?" Am I pregnant, be careful of being arrested as a hooligan, you can wait for me here with peace of mind! Then she took out a handful of wet wipes, kept a smile and walked forward, and after a few crowds, she disappeared from the vision of Nan Nian Buddha!

Nan Nianfo didn't speak, raised his watch and glanced at it, quietly waiting for Du Tianxiong and them to appear.

At 7:30, Du Tianxiong, who was dressed in black, walked over from the side surrounded by Uncle Lu and other bodyguards, and the audience immediately cast a hot gaze at him, Jin Gege also took the lead in puffing up, and soon, the overwhelming welcome applause filled the night sky, making Du Tianxiong's smile more vigorous, and then walked towards the table with steady steps.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being here tonight!"

Du Tianxiong stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then stood on the table built by Jin Gege himself, gentle and elegant showing the charm and tenacity of a mature man: "Tonight is a reward for the army. Perform the general's celebration party and thank them for making the Combine Army. The performance ended perfectly, and it was also a Spring Festival banquet, Du Tianxiong thanked everyone present for their support! ”

Du Tianxiong looked around the venue where hundreds of people gathered: "Without your strong support and selfless dedication, Huaguo would not be rich and strong today, and Du would not be able to sit in this position, so I am grateful to you from the bottom of my heart. The exercise is not only a pure military action, but also a display of national strength and deterrence. ”

His exuberance gradually turned into authority: "Hundreds of thousands of troops for two weeks. The success of the exercise announced to the world that although it has experienced the two wars of China and Vietnam and China and Russia, China still has the strength to crush any hostile forces, and it also sends a signal to the anti-birch elements that wanting to make a mess in China is tantamount to ants shaking the tree! ”

"A few bombs have been assassinated a few times, and they want to intimidate the Chinese officials!"

Du Tianxiong's voice was like a cold wind, and they swept over the quiet scene: "It's completely self-righteous and self-righteous, they think that by putting a bomb on the Hengmen yacht and planting explosives in the West China mining area, they can overwhelm the army. The limelight, the result? The result only brings us closer together, and we crush a conspiracy with trust and strength. ”

When Jin Gege and the others straightened up slightly, Du Tianxiong also waved his hand: "And I swear, I will return ten times and a hundred times the harm caused by the terrorist elements to Huaguo, and give justice to the victims and Zhao Heng. ”

"Happiness and revenge, blood debt and blood repayment, is my Du Tianxiong's criterion against the enemy, and it is also the purpose of Huaguo!"

Jin Gege and Wan Staff Officer applauded vigorously with a fiery face, Li Yongcai and the others also applauded enthusiastically, although Du Tianxiong's words and deeds were a bit of a bandit, but I have to admit that they are more valuable than fake and empty clichés, and the powerful people who can attend tonight's banquet, which one of them is not stained with blood in their hands and climbed up? Therefore, Du Tianxiong's temperament is very appetizing to them.

Du Tianxiong then made a statement on the army. The performance made a summary, and bowed and apologized to the rich men of the two places who had been wronged, and finally asked people to bring a narrow tray with thirty-six medals on it. The ministry bosses rewarded the outstanding ones in the past and this time, although they were all middle and low-level soldiers' medals, but they were enough to boost morale.

In fact, the commended personnel held their heads high and swore allegiance to the country's allegiance to the army. Ministry, some people may have been looking forward to it for a long time, and they are still silently shedding tears. The ministry obviously also knew Du Tianxiong's character, and of the 36 medals, 30 were battalion and company officers, and only six were middle and high-level personnel, so as to avoid being accused of the unfairness of commendations.

"Jingege?!"

Du Tianxiong read the last name, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, Jin Gege was also slightly stunned, it seemed that he didn't expect his name to appear in it, Du Tianxiong saw that his wife was also similar and was dazed, so he dispersed the idea of blaming his wife, and wanted to ask the army. Why did the ministry give Jin Gege a reward, but he felt that it was not appropriate to discuss this issue on the spot at this time:

"Thank you to Kingege for the army. Ministry cohesion contributes! ”

Du Tianxiong put on a natural posture that did not shy away from suspicion, Jin Gege was slightly stunned and then guessed that he was afraid that it was the army. The ministry flattered her husband, so she took the opportunity to give her an honorary staff officer a commendation, although this would leave a handle for people, thinking that this was a play between two couples, but when she saw her husband's calm face, she became indifferent, and even had a touch of excitement on her face.

Although she didn't care about these names, but she was able to get her husband's commendation and affirmation in the official form in front of everyone, she was still excited and excited from the bottom of her heart, she moved her steps to Du Tianxiong and them, raised her pretty face and prepared to accept the medal, Wan Staff They applauded at the right time, giving Jin Gege affirmation and support, and Nan Nianfo also smiled and clapped his hands.

When Jin Gege's fingers were about to touch, a voice came faintly from the side: "Du Tianxiong, are you blind?" As soon as these words came out, the audience suddenly fell silent, and they all looked at the source of the sound in surprise, Du Tianxiong and Jin Gege also had cold eyes, condensed their eyes and looked over, and then saw an old man in black entering with his hands behind his back, with endless banter on his face:

"If you're not blind, why do you award a medal to one of the murderers of the Blood River?"

Zhou Wuzi!
