72 Tournament (4)
Nalan Zhongzhong was dressed in military uniform, sitting in the main position of the rostrum, his expression was calm and majestic, no different from usual, but Nalan Xinghui knew that at this time, his father must have been very anxious in his heart.
Yan Zhi led forty soldiers to leave the barracks, and Nalan Xinghui already knew about it, and at this time, looking at the anxious appearance of her parents and sister, she actually felt a little happy in her heart.
At the beginning, Mrs. Nalan and Nalan Mingyue said that they wanted to recruit Yan Zhi as their son-in-law, but Nalan Xinghui was unwilling, because she had never seen Yan Zhi at all. But Nalan is loyal and very filial, and wants his father to see that the Nalan family has a fireworks inheritance in his lifetime, so he acquiesced to Zhao Yan as a son-in-law.
Nalan Xinghui knew that it was useless for her father to resist what her father had decided, so she could only obey.
The doctor has already said that the old man Nalan is running out.
The Nalan family's original plan was to first recruit Yan Zhi as a quasi-son-in-law, not to get married for the time being, and wait until the old man Nalan would retire from this family business after one day he became an ancient man. Of course, Admiral Nalan conferred the rank of Colonel on Yan as compensation.
You must know that it takes a long time to be promoted from a staff officer who doesn't make a fart to a major, and you have to make a lot of achievements, and a small staff officer like Yan Zhi, who has never been on the battlefield, wants to be promoted to a major within a few years, which is simply an impossible task.
Therefore, the Nalan family just regarded Yan Zhi as a puppet, a temporary quasi-son-in-law, in order to let the old man Nalan see that there were successors to the Nalan family before he became an ancient man.
Zhou Youcai didn't know how many times he had looked at his watch, it was already twelve fifty-three at this time, and in seven minutes, if Yan Zhi was not there, he could only be recognized as a loser.
With the personalities of Li Ping'an and Hong Long, he will definitely let him kneel in public, even if the chiefs intercede from it, he will not kneel if he is talented, but he will inevitably be humiliated.
The chatter in the audience gradually became louder, and the soldiers and officers began to talk to each other, whispering, and all eyes were on the brothers and General Nalan's family.
The colonel's host shouted a few times but still didn't see Yan coming to the stage, he couldn't help but look at Admiral Nalan and felt a little embarrassed. If he continues to call Yan Zhi to take the stage, it will make Admiral Nalan's face gloomy, and if he does not continue to urge Yan Zhi to take the stage, others will say that he is cheating for personal gain and does not abide by military rules.
Admiral Nalan nodded at the host and motioned for him to continue urging Yan Zhi to take the stage, which was in line with military regulations.
So the host once again urged Yan Zhi to take the stage, and once again urged Zhou Youcai to sweat.
Ye Chongshan's face showed concern, and he turned sideways and whispered to Nalan Zhongzhong: "Brother Nalan, I heard that Colonel Yan Shao, who is going to compete with Nie Yuanfeng today, is your fast son-in-law. And I heard rumors in the army that Major Yan's kung fu was very good, and he didn't take Nie Yuanfeng in his eyes at all, so he had an appointment to compete with Nie Yuanfeng today, but for some reason he didn't arrive, and in less than a few minutes, he could only be sentenced to lose. ”
Nalan Zhongzhong secretly said that Ye Chongshan, the old fox, was really here to stir up the situation. Two years ago, the old fox brought his son Ye Qingzhou to Nalan's house to propose marriage, wanting to marry Nalan Xinghui, but Xinghui couldn't look down on Ye Qingzhou's arrogant and frivolous character, so Admiral Nalan politely rejected the Ye family's proposal, and the two broke up unhappily.
Since then, this Ye Chongshan has not said anything bad about Nalan's loyalty in Chongqing. When he came here today, he must have wanted to see the jokes of the Nalan family.
And there is news that this Ye Chongshan wants to bring Nie Yuanfeng back to Chongqing as an instructor. Originally, Admiral Nalan didn't intend to let Yan Zhi avoid the battle, as long as he exerted a little pressure and then gave some favors, Nie Yuanfeng would have some scruples and show mercy when he fought with Yan Zhizhen, and when the time came, the two sides would be tied, and they would be happy.
When he knew that Ye Chongshan was going to bring Nie Yuanfeng back to Chongqing, Nalan Zhongzhong temporarily found a so-called secret mission for Yan Zhi so that he could avoid this competition, but he didn't expect Yan Zhi to suddenly disappear, which caught Admiral Nalan off guard.
In the face of Ye Chongshan's hypocrisy, Nalan Zhongzhong could only smile slightly, and then he asked Zhou Youcai to come to power.
Zhou Youcai's body was already soaked with sweat, and he came to Admiral Nalan and gave a military salute.
Nalan said loyally: "Zhou Youcai, as Yan Zhi's adjutant, you should always know where Yan Zhi went, right?" Why hasn't it appeared yet? ”
Zhou Youcai sweated profusely and said: "Report to the general, Major Yan led his brothers out on a secret mission yesterday morning, as for where Major Yan went, his subordinates really don't know." When the Major left yesterday, he ordered all the soldiers not to reveal the news of their outing, lest the news of their outings leak out. ”
Nalan is loyal and not angry: "As Yan Zhi's adjutant, you Zhou Youcai actually don't know where Yan Zhi went, how did you become an adjutant?" This is your dereliction of duty, and I will take you to court-martial for dereliction of duty. ”
Zhou Youcai was so frightened that his legs trembled, so he could only stand and bow his head and remain silent.
Ye Chongshan secretly praised Nalan for his loyalty, this old fox really has a hand, and at a critical time, he put all the responsibility on the adjutant Zhou Youcai.
If Yan Zhi really led the troops to flee privately, Chongqing would blame him, and he could also blame Zhou Youcai for all this matter, after all, Zhou Youcai was Yan Zhi's adjutant and should know Yan Zhi's whereabouts. Although Yan Zhi is his loyal son-in-law, he has not entered his house at present, it is only a verbal agreement, and he has not even set up an engagement banquet, so he can push this matter cleanly.
Ye Chongshan asked Zhou Youcai earnestly: "This Yan Zhi won't be leading soldiers to escape without permission, and become a deserter!" I heard that many of the troops he took with him were the Eighth Route Army. ”
Zhou Youcai gritted his teeth: "General Report, I believe that Chief Yan will definitely come back, and he will never be a deserter." ”
"He would never run away with his soldiers?" Ye Qingzhou suddenly laughed, "You actually said that he wouldn't run away, so you let him stand in the ring." I have heard that he is just a son-in-law who has no experience in facing the enemy, and he can sit in the position of major, I am afraid that he does not rely on real talent and learning. When Nie Yuanfeng invited him to the stage to show his skills, he knew that he would definitely show his stuff, so he fled with those deserters. ”
"I heard that Yan Zhi's company is all composed of death row inmates, and those forty death row inmates are afraid that they didn't escape with Yan Zhi, right? Fortunately, we found it in time, otherwise, the remaining death row inmates might suddenly disappear without a trace one day, and they would have taken away guns and ammunition, causing a bad impact. If Chongqing knows about this, I am afraid that some people will be able to escape the blame. Ye Qingzhou deliberately pointed into the microphone when he said this, and the audience could hear it clearly. After he finished speaking, he glanced at Nalan Xinghui a few times, intentionally or unintentionally, although the expression on his face was full of righteous indignation, his eyes were full of pride.
