In the tent, Fang Lin had already prepared a banquet, but only a few people could sit at the table. Looking at several veterans, Chu Haoyan said first: "Xiao Qi, the second brother will introduce you to a few uncles, they are all veterans who have followed his father for many years. ”

Stretching out his hand and pointing at an old man with gray hair, a thin face and a shimmering spirit, Chu Haoyan said in a deep voice: "Old General Xu, guard Shanhaiguan." In the bloody battle in the third year of Kaiping, General Xu didn't go down to the city for dozens of days, there were countless wounds on his body, and his armor grew into the flesh, and finally he scraped it off with a knife. My Da Chu has been able to have stability for more than ten years, and the old general has contributed a lot. ”

When Chu Haoyan's words fell, Chu Haoyu bowed and saluted, "Xiao Qi has seen Xu Lao!" ”

Seeing that Chu Haoyu actually bowed down, Xu Chonglou hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Chu Haoyu, and said at the same time: "The second prince, the seventh prince, the old minister can't deserve it, can't deserve it!" ”

Standing up straight, Chu Haoyu looked at him with undisguised admiration, and said slowly: "Old Xu is a big name, Xiao Qi often hears his father and eldest brother mention it, and if you see the truth today, you have to bow down." What's more, General Xu has guarded the border for decades, and he deserves to be worshiped by Xiao Qiyi with such pride and loyalty. ”

Hearing Chu Haoyu say this, Xu Chonglou showed a smile on his face and said, "It's enough to have the words of the Seventh Prince!" In the elongated voice, Xu Chonglou continued: "In the past few days, the old man has carefully learned about the traces of the Yue cavalry captain for several months, the seventh prince is brave and strategic, the old man is sincerely impressed, and I want to come to my Da Chu and have one more commander with both wisdom and bravery." ”

Although these words are flattering, they are also from the bottom of his heart. After hearing about Chu Haoyu's deeds, they deliberately asked Yue Caiwei to find out, and finally found that all the rumors were true, which made them very curious about Chu Haoyu, the naughty prince. Seeing Chu Haoyu today, his demeanor was calm, his words were respectful, and he was especially not proud of his achievements, which left a good impression on this group of veterans.

When Xu Chonglou's words fell, the old man with a kind smile said, "Old Xu, I've finished your good words." As he spoke, the general bowed down and saluted Chu Haoyu, and said, "The last general, Di Haiying, greets the Seventh Prince!" ”

At this moment, Chu Haoyan introduced again: "General Di Haiyingdi, guard the Tiger Prison Pass." In that year, General Di broke seven cities in a row with a big sword. When his father learned about it, he ordered a skilled craftsman to make a pure gold broadsword and give it to General Di. ”

When Chu Haoyan's words fell, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and said, "I heard my father mention this matter. Back then, I also thought that my father would also reward me with a golden sword, and my father told me when I would be able to break through seven cities in a row like General Di. After a pause at this, Chu Haoyu bowed down and saluted Di Haiying, and said, "Xiao Qi has seen General Di!" ”

Looking at Chu Haoyu with a smile, Di Haiying held him and said at the same time: "The old man can't afford this gift of the Seventh Prince, but the prince is talented, this battle will definitely leave a name for the ages, a golden knife, it's insignificant!" ”

Looking at Di Haiying, who was smiling, Chu Haoyu rarely showed a smile on his face, but he didn't make a sound and looked at the other general. The general's face was uneven and silent, his eyes were bottomless, his body was thin, but there was a fierce aura in his solemn standing, which looked very manly.

Following Chu Haoyu's gaze, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and said, "Yang Su, the chief general of the capital fort." When my father conquered the world, he had two peerless generals under his command, and General Yang was one of them, most of whom were forward generals, and he killed countless generals with a spear. ”

When Chu Haoyan finished speaking, Yang Su immediately said: "The last general, Yang Su, has seen the Seventh Prince!" ”

Stretching out his hand to support Yang Su, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and said: "Xiao Qi has been naughty and active since he was a child, and what he likes to hear the most is the story of his father's conquest of the world. As he spoke, Chu Haoyu respectfully saluted Yang Su, and then looked at the last general.

This general's standard national character face, thick and thick eyebrows, big and energetic eyes, burly figure, wide hands, at first glance is the world's tiger general, and in the solemn standing, giving people a calm and atmospheric, I think it is also a wise and brave person. This, without Chu Haoyan's introduction, Chu Haoyu knows, Chen Dingyuan, the governor of the northwest. Bowing down, Chu Haoyu said in a deep voice: "Xiao Qi has seen Uncle Chen. ”

Looking at Chu Haoyu, Chen Dingyuan showed a smile on his face and said, "The Seventh Prince has grown up, and he wants to come to the first emperor to know about it, and he will be very happy." Speaking of this, after a pause, Chen Dingyuan set his eyes on Chu Haoyan again, and opened his mouth to say: "The seventh prince has been famous in the desert in just over a month, and the second prince has killed a generation of grandmaster Bahel, and the two princes have made a good omen, I believe that this battle will definitely be able to pacify Mobei, solve the great trouble in the Central Plains, and leave a name for the saint through the ages." ”

At this moment, Fang Lin said: "In the past few days, it is the first time that the last general has seen the smile of Old Governor Chen, thanks to the blessing of the second prince and the seventh prince. Speaking of this, Fang Lin laughed, and then said, "Everyone, you're welcome, sit down." Tonight, let's be presumptuous for a while and have a good drink. ”

Among the people, Chu Haoyan has the most noble status, sitting in the main seat, flanked by Chu Haoyu and Chen Dingyuan, although Fang Lin is the deputy marshal, but he also admires Chen Dingyuan, the old general, not to mention that he is still a figure of his father's generation.

After taking a seat, Chen Dingyuan stood up with a wine glass and said, "Today, the old man will sell an old man, and I will salute the second prince and the seventh prince with a glass, please!" ”

Drinking a glass of spirits, Chen Dingyuan did not sit down, and said in a deep voice: "When he was still under the tent of the first emperor, the old man was familiar with the second son, and then the world was calm, and the old man entered the palace to listen to the first emperor mention the most is the seventh son, and it is rare that the seventh prince can still call the old man an uncle, Chen is happy, especially seeing the two sons today's achievements, killing the commander of the first army among thousands of troops and horses, and going to Mobeizha to kill a generation of grandmaster Bahel, the old man is sincerely pleased. This glass of wine, toast the two sons, the old man will do it first! ”

After the second glass of wine, Chen Dingyuan picked up the wine glass again and said: "This third glass of wine, the big guys are all soldiers, may we win the flag and calm Mobei for our emperor in one fell swoop!" ”

When Chen Dingyuan's words fell, everyone picked up their wine glasses at the same time and drank them all.

Seeing Chen Dingyuan sit down, Chu Haoyan picked up his wine glass and said slowly: "By the auspicious words of Old General Chen, this king wishes you a victory, and when the time comes, at the celebration banquet, this king will definitely get drunk with you." ”

Giving the first glass of wine, Chu Haoyan continued: "You are all strong generals who have fought on the battlefield for many years, when Haoyan was still young, I have heard of your prestige, decades have passed, you are still guarding the border pass, this glass of wine, Hao Yan respects you, please!" ”

After drinking the second glass of wine, Chu Haoyan opened his mouth and said after a moment's pause: "The third glass of wine, Haoyan pleads with you for one thing. Seven years younger, it is his luck to be able to follow the generals to listen to the teachings, if there is anything inappropriate, you don't have to be in the way, just be a nephew in the next life, although the punishment is. After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for everyone to speak, Chu Haoyan drank the wine directly, and seeing this, everyone could only drink the wine first. At this moment, Chu Haoyan continued: "Xiao Qi, you toast your uncles and uncles, and in the future, ask your uncles and uncles for advice and learning." ”

Standing up with his wine glass, Chu Haoyu bowed and saluted, and said: "Xiao Qi has been naughty since he was a child, and he joined the army today, but he is just a small soldier, I hope that all uncles and uncles will not hesitate to give advice." Today, Xiao Qi respects all uncles and uncles with a cup, and he will do it first! ”

When everyone drank the wine, Chu Hao said: "Okay, it's rare for the big guys to get together today, the big guys are free, have a good drink, I want to toast General Yang first." In the battle of Xiamapo that year, if General Yang had not led more than 1,000 gunmen to arrive, I am afraid that Hao Yan would have been a cup of loess. By the way, I still remember that General Yang picked Dong Wanli off his horse with one shot, which is really good marksmanship. ”

Seeing Chu Haoyan pick up the wine glass, Yang Su hurriedly picked up the wine glass and said: "Lord Wu went deep into the enemy camp alone and took the head of the enemy general in the tens of thousands of troops, and the last general is very admired, please!" ”

After making a false salute in the air, the two drank the wine in the cup at the same time, and then, Chu Haoyan set his eyes on Chen Dingyuan, opened his mouth and said: "When I was young, my father ordered me to join the army, not to reveal my identity, not to show martial arts, and finally joined the Shenwu Lieutenant and served as a soldier under General Chen for five years. Today, Hao Yanjing has a cup of generals. ”

Looking at Chu Haoyan, Chen Dingyuan said in a deep voice: "The martial prince is hiding deep enough, come, the old man will have a drink with the prince, respect the martial arts camp, and respect the former brothers!" ”

When the two of them drank it all, Di Haiying asked with a smile: "Old Chen, the Martial Lord has been in the Shenwu Camp for five years, how come the last general has never heard of it?" ”

Seeing that several people had doubts in their eyes, Chen Dingyuan said indifferently: "Don't talk about you, the old man doesn't know." I also happened to hear the first emperor mention it, and at that time, I was really shocked. At the end of the words, Chen Dingyuan shook his head.

At this moment, Chu Haoyan opened his mouth and said: "Haoyan joined the army just to make a breakthrough in martial arts, and he didn't care about military affairs, so he didn't tell everyone. ”

Looking at Chu Haoyan, everyone couldn't help but think of Chu Haoyan's other title, martial idiot, who has been in the army for five years, but no one has seen through his identity, only this forbearance is enough to make everyone admire, no wonder he can become a master of the heavenly realm.

Maybe it was Chu Hao's experience in the army that shortened the distance between everyone, or the drinking became familiar, and the atmosphere became lively little by little. Although Chu Haoyan didn't ask about the rights and wrongs of the court, he knew several veterans, as for Chen Dingyuan and a few people, they were familiar with each other for decades, only Chu Haoyu rarely spoke, but listened quietly to them talking about the past years and arguing about the merits of this battle. For a time, one jar after another of wine bottomed out.

Everyone is a general of the army, so naturally they will not really drink high, and when the moon is in the middle of the sky, they all say goodbye and return to the camp, that is, Fang Lin, and also said that they will inspect the camp and leave, leaving only Chu Haoyan and Chu Haoyu.

After looking at the second brother Chu Haoyu for a moment, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and said, "Second brother, I live in the camp of the Yue Cavalry Captain. ”

Chu Haoyu understood what Chu Haoyu meant, nodded and said, "It's okay." After a pause, Chu Haoyan continued: "Xiao Fei has also arrived." ”

Suddenly, two cold lights suddenly burst out in Chu Haoyu's eyes, staring straight at his second brother Chu Haoyu. Chu Haoyan didn't explain, but opened his mouth to ask, "What about the two of them?" ”

Chu Haoyu knew who Chu Haoyu was referring to, the light in his eyes instantly disappeared and revealed a deep sadness, and after a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and said, "Second brother, when you go back to Beijing, bring them back." ”

Nodding, Chu Haoyan opened his mouth and said, "It's good if you decide." ”

Looking at the second brother Chu Haoyan, Chu Haoyu didn't say anything more, but opened his mouth and said: "Second brother, you rest early, Xiao Qi retires!" After saying that, he got up and left.
