Chapter 35: Lig is captured
At this time, Xing Junjie stood up from the main seat and called out in a cowering voice: "Father." Then he stood to the side and didn't move.
Xing Chenghui seemed to be very dissatisfied with this son: "There is no big or small thing, if I don't come, your kid doesn't know how big a person to throw me!" This seat is also where you can sit? Get the hell out of here! ”
When Xing Junjie heard this, he was like being pardoned, and left with two attendants. Cheng Lei couldn't help but be a little amused when he saw this scene, this is the legendary gentleman, he was just about to come out and pretend to be B, but he was cleaned up by his father, he deserved it!
Duke Duozan smiled: "Brother Xing, the virtuous nephew is still young and ignorant, don't blame him, come on, please take a seat." As he spoke, he put Xing Chenghui on the main seat.
Xing Chenghui hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Your Excellency the Duke is trying to torment me, if you want to say that this is in my house, I will sit on this main seat." But this is in the Silver Tower, even if I Xing has no etiquette, I can't sit on the main seat, you really regard me as my ignorant son? Your Excellency, Duke, please. ”
Now that Xing Chenghui has said this, Duke Duozan can no longer be humble, so he sits on the main seat. Then beckoned everyone to sit down, and Xing Chenghui also drove out those black-clothed people, which gave him a happy look.
"This is Mr. Cheng of the mercenary guards, right? I've heard of your name in Dongcheng, you're so young and promising! If Mr. Cheng is interested, we may wish to communicate more, and we can cooperate as deeply as you and His Excellency the Duke in the future. The first thing Xing Chenghui did after sitting down was to set up a set with Cheng Lei, who was sitting next to him.
Cheng Lei said with a smile: "The master of Xingmen has an overreputation, I am just a martial artist, where can I compare with the master of Xingmen." However, I am quite interested in what the master of Xingmen brought back from the west, and I will definitely visit the door when I have the opportunity, and I hope that the master of Xingmen will not dislike it! ”
"Where, where! Call you Mr. Cheng a little out of sight, I'll call you Brother Cheng! Brother, our Xing family is just a transport team from the east to the west, if you are interested in those Western things, you tell the brother what you want, the brother has absolutely nothing to say, and I will bring it back to you! Xing Chenghui patted his chest and said.
Cheng Lei was a little happy, he didn't expect to come to this banquet to get this unexpected surprise, Xing Chenghui's promise. With this opportunity, it will be much more convenient for Cheng Lei to understand and use the technology and culture of the Western Empire in the future.
For example, Cheng Lei is now short of a batch of trucks for transportation, so that he can save a lot of effort when building the base. However, although Cheng Lei and his team members can repair their armored vehicles, they can't build cars, and even if they can build them, they don't have the machinery and equipment to build cars.
There is no automobile factory in the Scorching Sun Federation, so Cheng Lei can only fight the idea of the West. Now it's okay, if you want to sleep, someone will give you a pillow, and it seems that you will have to have good contact with the master of the Xing family, the biggest merchant in Yinta City, in the future.
Duke Duozan seemed to be a little displeased, after all, Cheng Lei and Xing Chenghui were talking and laughing and discussing cooperation matters under his nose, so he stood up and raised his glass and said: "Everyone be quiet, today is the celebration ceremony of our Yinta City Counterinsurgency War, then we first have to thank the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for Yinta City in this war!" ”
"They sacrificed their youth and lives for Yinta City, and they are the greatest heroes of Yinta City! Before the war, I promised that the soldiers who were severely disabled in the war would be supported by Yinta City for the rest of their lives, there is no doubt about this! And the families of these sacrificed soldiers can not only receive a generous pension, but also receive ten silver coins a month to live! Duke Dozan said categorically.
At this time, the common people gathered around the Silver Pagoda immediately got the news and immediately boiled: "Long live Your Excellency the Duke!" "Hooray!" "Hooray!"
Cheng Lei couldn't help but sigh a little, these poor people at the bottom are too kind, give them a little benefit, and let them work hard. But how sad will the hearts of parents who have lost their children, children who have lost their fathers, and wives who have lost their husbands be?
"Report to Your Excellency the Duke! While patrolling outside the city, the guards spotted a sneaky man and woman. After careful identification, the man was the rebel leader Lige! A soldier hurried in and reported to Duke Dozan.
Duke Dozan's eyes were filled with happiness: "What did you say, Lige was caught by you?" Quick, bring them in! ”
"Yes!"
After a while, a pair of gray-faced men and women were escorted up, and Cheng Lei had never seen Lig at all, so he looked at him carefully with some curiosity. Lige is a middle-aged man over forty years old, with a little mustache, and he also looks like an East-West mix, but in fact, he doesn't look as powerful as Xilin. Who would have thought that this inconspicuous middle-aged man would be the rebel leader of Cholera Silver Tower City for so long, Lige?
Looking at that woman again, Cheng Lei's eyes almost couldn't move away, this woman was simply a natural stunner, and there was a pure taste in her charm, and she couldn't tell her age at all. Although Xiling is beautiful enough, her years of career as a soldier have made her heroic out of thin air, of course, she can't compare to this woman's beautiful appearance.
Although her light blue dress and delicate face were stained with some dust, the more she did this, the more beautiful she became. And there are some beautiful things that feel polluted, and I especially want to wipe off the dust for her and take good care of her.
At this time, Cheng Lei suddenly woke up, isn't this just a woman, how could he immerse himself in it! The charm of this woman is simply too great, it can be said that it is infinite charm, I didn't expect this kid to be so blessed to be able to get such a woman.
Looking at the others, they were also a little confused, Cheng Lei knew that this woman didn't just have such a big charm for himself. It's a magic for all the men present, and it can make people get carried away. Presumably, Chen Yuanyuan, who was fighting between Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui back then, was nothing more than that!
"Pear blossom...... You're back again......" Duke Dozan's eyes were red, and he muttered, "You chose Lige at the beginning, saying that Lige is the hero of this world, and I am just a waste who eats the shade of my ancestors." What does it look like now? Your hero has been defeated by me, what else do you have to say? ”
The woman lightly lifted her lips and said softly: "I don't have anything to say about the success of the king or the defeat of the king." But Ligg will always be my hero in my heart, which you can't understand. And you, I said it wrong, you are not a waste. ”
"Hahahaha......" Duke Dozan laughed maniacally: "Lig Hero, is this how you are a hero, let a weak woman stand in front of you to protect you from the wind and rain?" ”
"Your Excellency Duke, Pear Blossom also said just now, the king is defeated, and I am the defeated Kou. Please also ask the Duke to give me a quick decision, but I have a request......" With that, Lige looked up at Duke Dozan with a pleading look in his eyes.
Duke Duozan sighed and said, "After all, you have made a lot of contributions to my Silver Tower City over the years, you say, if it is not too much, I will promise you!" ”
"Please don't hurt Pear Blossom and treat her well, so that I will be blind when I die!" Lig kowtowed.
Cheng Lei was a little surprised, he didn't expect that this Lige was still a seed of infatuation, and he would rather die than leave this woman's life. And he was not afraid that Duke Dozan would cuckold him and let Duke Dozan treat her well.
No, a chick like Cheng Lei can't hear it, but an old fox like Duke Duozan certainly won't be able to hear that there is something else in Lige's words: "This is actually a trivial matter, after all, I also had a relationship with Pear Blossom before, but how could you give Pear Blossom to me, to be honest, what else is going on here?" ”
Lige's mouth trembled a few times, and he said with some incomprehension: "Your Excellency...... Pear...... Rika is four months pregnant, and I have no heirs, and I ask the Duke to preserve her......"
"Hmph......" Duke Dozan sneered, "I knew there must be something here, do you think that if you say it in public, I won't be able to harm your child again, right?" And then let your children grow up and seek revenge on me? ”
"No, no, no...... Your Excellency the Duke, Rika will not tell him about his background, and he will only be an ordinary commoner in Silver Tower City in the future. That's all I have to ask for, and I ask Your Excellency the Duke to be kind! ”
Duke Duozan's face changed from sunny to cloudy, and then from cloudy to sunny, and he changed uncertainly, and only after a while did he say: "Okay, I promise you, Pear Blossom will take good care of her, you can go with peace of mind!" ”
"No...... Don't ......" The woman threw herself to Lige's side: "Lige, don't do this, you want to die, we will die together, I will accompany you with the child, don't leave us alone......"
Then he kowtowed to Duke Dozan and said, "Your Excellency Duke, please don't kill him, please ......."
Duke Dozan snorted coldly: "Come on, take them down!" The banquet continues! ”
"Yes!" Two soldiers came and escorted them down.
"Your Excellency, why are you doing this? It can be seen that you have a deep affection for this woman, and if you kill Lige, she will hate you for the rest of her life! Xing Chenghui took a sip of wine and persuaded Duke Duozan.
Duke Dozan said angrily: "This pair of dog men and women! At the beginning, in order to make Lige loyal to Yinta City, I reluctantly cut my love and married Fang Lihua to him. I'm afraid the master of Xingmen has also heard that Fang Lihua was rescued from the Qinglou in Nancheng and prepared to make her my concubine. But these two people were so ungrateful that Lige rebelled, and Fang Lihua didn't miss the old kindness. I was really a sin at the beginning, I knew that today, I should have ended these two people early! ”
