Shi Lang said with an arrogant face, all the generals present, whether it is the old generals on Zhang Jin and Ke Chenshu's side, or the new people such as Huang Ting and Hong Xishan, all of them have changed color, and Chen Bin, who has no understanding of his temperament, is even more disdainful, and even Shi Xian gently dragged his brother.

"Dog traitor, Lao Tzu hasn't troubled you yet, don't get into trouble with Lao Tzu first."

Thinking of it in his heart, Chen Kai didn't show it on his face, but smiled and said: "Shi Shuai said that he was joking, the lower officials are literati, and they don't know any martial arts, wisdom and bravery, or something, it's just rumors of some ignorant people, and they really can't be counted, and they can't be counted." ”

Chen Kai replied with modesty, and Huang Ting and Shi Xian also hurriedly snorted and mistook this embarrassment. It's just that this scene was all in Zheng Chenggong's eyes, but he didn't move even the slightest sound, just sat there, carefully observing the looks and reactions of everyone present, and didn't know what to think in his mind.

With such an episode, the atmosphere of the whole banquet became a little weird. Shi Lang was domineering, Chen Kaimian hid a needle, and the two had no communication since then, but Huang Ting, Hong Xishan, and even Shi Xian and others toasted Chen Kai with respect, which formed a sharp contrast with Shi Lang.

In the middle of the night, the reception banquet ended in the light song and dance, and everyone dispersed, and Shi Lang and others were left by Zheng Chenggong to narrate before returning to their residence.

"A mere five-grade civil official, a dog-like thing, dares to ridicule my ignorance in public!"

The soldiers retreated, and before the sobering soup on the table could move, Shi Lang slapped it on the table, and half of the bowl flew out. After scolding Chen Kai, Shi Lang turned to point at his younger brother Shi Xian's nose and said angrily: "Huang Ting, Hong Xishan, those goods are just that, you are good, you still have the heart to toast him, are you angry?!" ”

For this brother, Shi Xian has always been afraid. It is not only due to the traditional morality of the eldest brother as a father, but also because of his talent and ruthlessness, which is inevitable for him, the younger brother.

Seeing that his brother was furious, Shi Xian didn't dare to say that Shi Lang was not, so he simply used Chen Kai to be very useful by Zheng Chenggong's side, and persuaded Shi Lang to be so cold-eyebrowed, which was not good for him. But when he heard these words in Shi Lang's ears, he had already changed his taste, and simply shouted to his brother: "What kind of soup did that guy pour into you, so that you can ignore the feelings of your compatriots to say something for you!" ”

"Hey, brother, how can I say anything about it?" Saying that, Shi Xian couldn't help sighing, and then said: "What the foolish brother means is that we are the first to come in the final analysis, and it is not a good thing to offend people in vain." Even if those uncles who have followed the Taishi see it, they may not be directed towards us. ”

"I need those old things?"

Snorted coldly, Shi Lang asked without any scruples: "Don't say that my father and Uncle Wu Yi, even our brothers also followed the Taishi back then, how long has that guy been here, isn't it just a national surname who only went to Nanao Island last year to vote?" If it is you and my brother, hundreds of people can take this Chaozhou City, how can it be like that, and it is a heavy task to assassinate the car without doing anything, jokes. ”

Speaking of which, Shi Xian knew that with his brother's temperament, it was useless to say more. It's just that his brother is a little too flamboyant, and he did it for the first time, or in front of Zheng Chenggong and the generals. But with Shi Lang's words, Shi Xian was suddenly stunned.

"Don't care about that guy, isn't he just in charge of an ordnance bureau, if he dares to play tricks on the weapon, not to mention that the country is not a blind man, I will definitely call him good-looking."

………………

Shi Lang's anger was in full swing, and Shi Xian was helpless. At the same time, Chen Kai and the others, who had left the banquet earlier, were still gathered in the wing room where Chen Kai temporarily lived in the head town mansion. Du Hui, Ke Chenshu, Ye Yiyun, and Chen Ding and Ke Chenmei, who came to the meeting, were all in the room.

"Shi Lang, I have crossed paths with him earlier, and he has such a temperament. When Huang Shoufu sent troops to Jiangxi, Taishi was not optimistic, but this guy still followed. As a result, he fought with Huang Shoufu's subordinates for a puppet official captive, and was driven back to Fujian by Huang Shoufu. ”

The past incident in Ke Chenshu's mouth is said in some history books that Shi Lang's advice was not recognized by Huang Daozhou, so he fled back to Fujian, but according to the recital written by Huang Daozhou to Emperor Longwu at that time, it was exactly as Ke Chenshu said. There are two versions of this story, the former, as the name suggests, is to use the martyrdom of the Zodiac Zhou to impliely praise Shi Lang's foresight, while the latter depicts the image of a loser who changes his court for the sake of fame, only to be expelled because he can't control his temper.

Chen Kai recalled that from the analysis of Shi Lang's life experience, there is a possibility of both theories, especially the latter - Shi Lang was expelled from the Zodiac Zhou; When he first descended to the Qing Dynasty, he had an unsmooth relationship with Li Chengdong; belonged to Zheng Chenggong's banner, and was at odds with many colleagues; was refrigerated for many years after the second descent, and even had to rely on his wife to be a female celebrity to feed; When the Qing court of the Kangxi Dynasty wanted to pacify Taiwan, he cooperated with Yao Qisheng, the in-law of his eldest brother Huang Xigon, and a conflict broke out, and finally took the credit of Yao Qisheng for himself, so as to achieve his marquis title and the great rent of the Marquis who had exploited the Taiwanese people for more than 200 years.

Chen Kai vaguely remembered that the evaluation of Shi Lang in the history books was "shallow in measurement, arrogant in meritorious service", and now it seems that it is true. Just from this side, Chen Kai saw from his eyes, looks, words, and actions the image of a domineering general with a flamboyant personality, domineering and unrestrained.

Is all this just arrogance? I'm afraid that's not the case. Because in the face of those who are more talented than him in some aspects, Shi Lang often chooses to use secret calculations to eliminate partners, so as to make contributions and obtain greater benefits.

"Phew, what the hell is that. When we were fighting bloody battles with the national surname, he was still being a dog for Li Chengdong's house, killing the Wang Shi of Liangguang, Chen Shangshu, Zhang Hanlin, and Chen Zhengshi, and the righteous army they organized. ”

Du Hui is like this, and Ke Chenmei is also angry, but it is Ke Chenshu, Ye Yiyun and Chen Ding, but they are worried.

Chen Kai is now the most effective civil official under Zheng Chenggong, and he can be called the chief mastermind, almost obedient to his words. Among the civil officials, there are comrades and friends like Ye Yiyun and Chen Ding, and the generals also trust him, and there are also robes like Du Hui and the Ke brothers who have experienced life and death together, and it can be said that they have already gained a firm foothold.

However, when Shi Lang first arrived, he had to make trouble with Chen Kai. Even if the generals knew that they were such a character, they were dissatisfied, and even Huang Ting, Hong Xishan, Shi Xian and others felt that Shi Lang was too bad at speaking, and there was no need to offend Chen Kai, the most useful civil official of Zheng Chenggong. In the eyes of Ye Yiyun, Chen Ding and others, this guy is clearly a thorn, and sooner or later there will be some chaos, which is really a potential threat in today's good situation.

"The biggest problem is that that guy came with more than 4,000 troops this time, which is really not to be underestimated."

These five people are a group of Chen Kai's best friends in Zheng Chenggong's army, and most of them have lifelong friendships. As soon as Shi Lang came, he pointed the finger at Chen Kai, whether he wanted to kill the chicken and set an example to establish his position as the second person under Zheng Chenggong, or something else, in fact, it didn't matter, since this person had already started with Chen Kai, looking at his strong strength, he couldn't help but worry about Chen Kai.

However, compared to them, Chen Kai seemed much more confident, especially when he mentioned that once he arrived, the army that directly accounted for one-third of Zheng Chenggong's troops, this self-confidence was even more spontaneous.

"The more soldiers and horses he brings, the less I have to fear anything from him."
