As soon as the auspicious day arrived, Kong Yuling wore a white wedding dress, and the groom Liu Yun, accompanied by the American-style wedding march, slowly walked into the Yang Gefei Church, the Kong family, the Liu family, and some of the guests who watched the ceremony, sent heartfelt blessings to the two newlyweds in the church, and a white pastor was in the middle of the church.

The age of the white pastor is slightly older, about fifty or sixty years old, he is a lean and kind old man, and Liu Sanye's intuition tells him that this white pastor should be an American, and I don't know if this white pastor has been in China for a long time, and he actually likes red, and he actually approves a red shoulder on his body.

Unexpectedly, when Kong Yuling saw the white pastor, she was shocked, and her demeanor and demeanor suddenly became a lot more serious, as if she had met the Pope of Rome, which made Liu Yun depressed, and it was very troublesome to marry a doctor of theology, but the expression on this guy's face was still very soft, so he had to give others a good face.

"My child, please come forward, in this holy place, let the Son and the Holy Spirit witness your wedding", the white pastor was full of kindness, as if he was the embodiment of God, touching the heavy Bible with one hand, and gently beckoning them to come forward with the other, so that Kong Yuling and Liu Yun could get closer.

However, at this moment, the door of Yang Gefei's church was slammed open, and a group of guests suddenly broke in, causing an uproar in the church.

There was also a young general beside Lao Jiang, and Liu Yun recognized it at a glance, it was Zhang Shaoshuai Zhang Deputy Commander, but Liu Sanye was a thief himself, and he was a little unstable for a while, and almost fell to the ground, causing the white priest to be a little angry.

"Hmm, in this sacred place, please keep quiet", the white pastor's voice was not loud, but it seemed to have magical power, only to see Lao Jiang and the others sneering and apologize, admitting that they came suddenly and disturbed the priest's sacred cause, well, don't worry about them, everyone continues.

Even Lao Jiang has to give three points, Liu Sanye is also a rin, this white pastor is only afraid that it is not simple, because he is not interested in the religious industry, he is a little confused about the specific origin of the pastor, but looking at Kong Yuling's excitement, most of them should know the details of this guy, and then slowly torture them when they return home.

The white priest is romantic, a simple wedding ceremony, he was stunned by what he said, even the Son, the Virgin and the Holy Spirit were moved by him to scare everyone, and then recited a Bible in a frustrated manner, which shocked Liu Sanye dizzy, only knew that he kept bowing his head, and said "yes" again and again.

Fortunately, the wedding march was finally over, and Liu Yun and the others just waited for the priest to shout, "Licheng, send the bride and groom into the cave room", but the white priest is a cow fork, and he didn't follow this rhythm at all, but took out a pair of rings and gave them to the couple and couple.

Miss Kong was pleasantly surprised, not only took it actively, but also took the initiative to help Liu Yun put it on, and then quietly reminded in someone's ear, "Fool, we have sent it here."

Looking at the fluttering wooden ring, Liu Yun wanted to cry without tears, these magic sticks just like to be funny, and collected a lot of incense money, but they are reluctant to use it, if you want to be human, you can make it bigger, not to mention the diamond ring, even the iron ring is better, isn't it a curse to use a wooden ring? I remember that the "wooden wedding" was only five years.

The white priest was very devoted to his sacred cause, and he didn't pay attention to someone's strange appearance, and after a burst of grunting divine singing, the whole wedding was officially over, and then he took the bride and groom, and went to see Lao Jiang with a smile, only to see Lao Jiang and his wife and Deputy Commander Zhang, hugging him one by one.

Lao Jiang and the pastor have been old friends for many years, and between the words of the two, all they talked about was the cause of education in China, as well as the international news, the focus of which was to talk about the "Spanish Civil War", which was simply hell on earth in the eyes of white pastors, and both sides of the war were big bastards.

After the big guy's greetings were finished, when Lao Jiang was about to introduce Liu Yun and the others, Kong Yuling immediately asked in surprise, "Father, you are the president of Yenching University, Situ Leiden?" ”

Liu Yun was also suddenly surprised, this name is too familiar, I remember that there is a great man's masterpiece, it is "Farewell, Situ Leiden", as if this guy is the US ambassador to China, in 1949 when the old Chiang went to Taiwan, this person also left Huaxia and returned to the United States or something, it is not clear how it is.

The white priest was not surprised, but touched his chest and saluted Kong Yuling very respectfully, "I am a servant of God, a Christian elder, Situ Leiden, who has seen the crown of the Holy Knight."

Kong Yuling didn't dare to accept the full salute, but stroked her chest and bowed her head in reply, and replied with a smile, "I am a Templar who patrols churches in the Far East, but the members of the Presbyterian Church are not within the scope of my supervision, not to mention that Your Excellency is an elder in red, only His Majesty the Pope, Yuling really doesn't dare to be."

Liu Yun was also a little stupid, it turned out that Situ Leiden wore a red shoulder, not to look good, or to celebrate his marriage, but to show his status in the church, the church elders are already enough, or what kind of red-clothed elder, second only to the pope, I don't know if it's true or not.

When Kong Yuling cautiously thanked the priest for the "most valuable gift" he had given - the wooden ring, Sister Meiling's eyes suddenly lit up.

Mrs. Jiang also ignored the demeanor of "**", and hurriedly pulled Miss Kong over, and carefully checked it on the more remote side, until she was sure, the expression on her face was a little unpredictable, and Deputy Commander Zhang didn't seem to be very interested in Situ Leiden, so he ran over to see the excitement, but he didn't have much insight into the wooden ring.

Seeing that Liu Sanye also came to join in the fun, Sister Meiling took Miss Kong's hand and explained to everyone a little, "Don't look at this pair of wooden rings, they seem to be ordinary on the surface, and they are not as good as any gold rings, silver rings, or diamond rings, but it is a holy relic that can only be owned by European royals - the Holy Ring of Thorns, it is said that Henry VIII of England got married, because the Pope of Rome did not send this thing in time, which led to him angrily establishing English Protestantism, which has since been independent of the religious system of the Holy See."

What bird of Henry VIII? Liu Yun and Deputy Commander Zhang looked at each other with blank expressions.

Or Kong Yuling, a doctor of theology, explained briefly that in Europe in the 16th century, because of the rise of Mr. De and Mr. Sai (democracy and science), Catholicism has also been greatly impacted, and there has been a fierce doctrinal dispute in the traditional large dioceses such as Britain, France, Germany, Spain, and Portugal, proposing the "Reformation", directly questioning the rationality and legitimacy of the Holy See, and finally leading to the establishment of new independent churches in Western European countries, among which the most representative leaders, It was Martin Luther, the German Protestant pope.

However, the most bizarre is English Protestantism, by King Henry VIII, who appointed himself as the British Protestant pope, which is known today as "Protestantism", and later many persecuted English Puritans (radicals in Protestantism) were forced to take the "Mayflower" galleon to North America, becoming one of the earliest propagators of civilization in North America, and even to this day, it is one of the historical sources of Protestantism in the United States.

Well, this wooden thorn ring is really not simple, Liu Yun was a little stunned, but at this moment, Zhi Brain sent a message to congratulate the host on finding the "supernatural energy", just wait for the host's spiritual power to break through to the god refining period, and the ant robot will upgrade successfully by itself, and the upgrade opportunity is the Thorn Holy Ring.

"Supernatural energy", Liu Yun was also stunned, he had only heard Zhi Brain say, "spiritual power or biological force field", that is, he had never heard of supernatural energy, as the name suggests, it is a very hanging, very bullish power, what it does, I don't know anything at all, it is estimated that it is inseparable from the gods.

Could it be that there are really gods in this world, Liu Yun was also dumbfounded, since there are gods, how can there be wars and disputes, as well as so much suffering and injustice, but he himself knows that now is not the time to communicate with Zhi Brain, so he humbly asked Dr. Kong about the origin of the Thorn Ring.

Kong Yuling was about to explain in person, but Sister Meiling took over the topic, "This ring originates from Christ's crown of thorns, a head ring made of thorns, which the Romans had fastened on Christ's head before he put him to death, so it was stained with divine blood, and it has gone through thousands of years, but it is as good as new."

"Because Christ is a descendant of the royal family of the Hebrews, and the hope of the Hebrews to rebuild the kingdom of Israel, Christ's thorn ring, also known as the crown of thorns, is still alive today, and every once in a while, new branches will grow, and these branches will be woven into rings by the pope himself, and sent to the royal families of various European countries as special objects for the marriage of important members of the royal family."

There was a burst of applause, not only Kong Yuling and Liu Yun were applauding, but also appreciating Mrs. Jiang's wonderful explanation, and even the pastor Situ Leiden also applauded excitedly, "Ms. Meiling has been busy with politics and secular affairs, and many parishioners think that you are an ordinary believer, but I didn't expect that your understanding of Catholic doctrine is no less than that of senior believers such as me."

Then Situ Leiden, Kong Yuling, and Madame Chiang went to talk about Christian doctrine on the side.

Liu Sanye also woke up at this time, and hurriedly saluted the old Jiang and the young marshal, Jiang Weizai just smiled slightly, and said very kindly, "Yicheng, don't be restrained, you are the groom's official today, and you are the biggest official."

Seeing that Lao Jiang was so reasonable, Liu Yun was a little uncomfortable, so he had to talk to the principal with a smile, but Lao Jiang didn't accept this feeling, but instead had a hot fight with Liu Zongyi and Kong Caishen, fortunately, Zhang Shaoshuai spoke with him, "Brother Yicheng, your three suggestions, every word-".

"Shhh-", Liu Yun was very vigilant and asked the young marshal to stop immediately, and when he found that no one was paying attention to the left and right, he dragged him to a secluded corner, the thief poked his head, and looked at him left and right until he was sure of safety again, and then he saluted Zhang Shaoshuai, "Deputy Commander Zhang, in a little drunken nonsense, please have a lot of adults, don't be like villains, hundreds of thousands of Northeast Army is a big deal."

What do you mean, feelings are just digging holes and burying them? I want to play this young marshal, right, Zhang Shaoshuai decided to go crazy, and in a blink of an eye, Wuhan is an outstanding person, among which Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms is the most famous, Liu Bei invited three times before he came out of the mountain, well, this guy is so polite, most likely because his sincerity is not enough.

Zhang Shaoshuai's Northeast Army may really be exhausted, otherwise it would not have launched any mutiny, so be sincere, right? The young marshal was ready to kneel down directly, Liu Yun couldn't help but be shocked, how could he dare to bow down like this, no matter how he said it, he was also the deputy commander-in-chief of the three armies of the Republic of China, and he was still a brother with Lao Jiang, so he didn't dare to be it.

Commander Liu's cultivation is already very high, although he has not yet broken through the realm of refining gods, at least ordinary people can't take him, I saw this guy gently supported him with his hand, Zhang Shaoshuai's legs were bent, and he couldn't bow down, he suddenly remembered Liu Yun's nickname, "Little Overlord of Western Sichuan", it seems that the rumors are not all false.

When the young marshal was embarrassed and hesitating, Liu Yun whispered in his ear, "Brother Han Qing, don't Meng Lang, the younger brother doesn't dare to make up his mind, or because someone has come to the door to warn him a few days ago."

How could Deputy Commander Zhang be a person to be provoked, and someone dared to harm his good deeds, he immediately became furious, and immediately asked, "Who is this person, is He Yingqin, Wang Jingwei, or Jiang Weizai?" ”

Who said that Zhang Shaoshuai's head is simple, Liu Yun doesn't dare to sell people casually, not to mention that Kong Caishen is also implicated in the middle, if one is not good, the wedding will become a funeral, so he secretly wiped a handful of sweat and quickly changed the topic, "Brother Han Qing, the three-point proposal of the younger brother, I don't know how you think about it."

Zhang Shaoshuai is a very emotional person, as soon as he talked about this, he immediately forgot about other problems, and said excitedly, "My brother is really talented, for the situation of the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army, it is simply a matter of seeing the fire, and the three strategies are also appropriate, even Brother Hucheng agrees, well, we want to choose the next strategy."

Hundreds of thousands of troops, directly to the Red Army, is a good idea, when China is liberated, you will all become revolutionary old-timers, but there is a little bit of a bad, what should you do with the food and clothing in front of you? Are you all ready to learn from Yan'an, and the officers and soldiers will not be paid, but only a meager allowance, can you bear it?

Zhang Shaoshuai is not really a fool, just a little romantic, his idea is that after hundreds of thousands of troops surrendered to the Red Army, Yan'an is very poor, and it is true that he can't come up with money, but the big brother of the Soviet Union has, everyone is part of the Comintern, and there should be no big problem if the brothers turn around.
