A group of maids took turns to serve wine and food, Xiao Yiming's heart was full of doubts, but there was a charming smile on his face, and he took the time to whisper to Michiko Tsukamoto, who was kneeling behind him and serving, and asked Sakai-kun why he didn't come?

Michiko said that Sakai-kun and the other six were still preparing for the upcoming military training at the military academy, so they couldn't come, and finally quietly revealed: Sakai-kun and the others are probably going to leave China and go back to their hometown.

Xiao Yiming's heart moved, and she didn't continue to ask, turned around and politely waited for the master to speak.

Genjiro Tsukasa is still the same old look of crepe, solemnly delivered a humble welcome speech, and after the polite words without nutrition, everyone followed Tsukagen to toast together, half of the main hall separated from each other, greeting each other from afar.

After three rounds of drinking, the guests took turns to toast to the host, compliments were piled up and piled up, laughter continued to sound, but the hall was full of harmony and joy.

At the end of a few rounds of toasting, Tsukagen warmly greeted everyone for dinner.

Xiao Yiming's boxing skills have made great progress recently, and she has been working for two hours every morning and evening under the words and deeds of the master Liu, who is in good spirits, and the amount of food has also risen.

The sushi is made small and small, the fish fillets and ham are served in small dishes with Chinese dipping chili sauce, and the hungry Xiao Yiming almost swallows one by one, sandwiching and emptying, so that Michiko on his side is busy enough.

Yang Shukan, who was at the table next to him, saw Xiao Yiming's eating appearance, shook his head frequently, muttered "hungry ghost reincarnated", and moved his chopsticks gently.

A few months ago, Yang Shukan met Xiao Yiming through the introduction of the literary leader, Zou Wenhan and Zhang Lan, the president of the West China Times, and then began to correspond, the two have a common concept on many issues, so the relationship quickly warmed up under the sympathy of each other, Yang Shukan often came to Chengdu, every time he came to Xiao Yiming's house to have a drink, and often wrote letters to discuss the current situation when he returned to Yucheng, and they were commensurate with each other as brothers and had a good relationship.

Jiang Dengxuan, who was sitting in the first place opposite, did not have Yang Shukan's good cultivation, the principal of the military academy, who also got along well with Xiao Yiming, saw that Yang Shukan didn't mention the matter, so he had to speak himself: "Yiming, I'm afraid I have to trouble you with something." ”

"Brother Jiang, please say, as long as the brother can do it."

Xiao Yiming hurriedly put down her chopsticks and took the white napkin handed by Michiko to wipe her mouth.

Jiang Dengxuan glanced at the crowd, then looked at Xiao Yiming, and said solemnly:

"That's the case, a few friends who were imprisoned last year had a hard time, and the family was also very worried, and the foolish brother pleaded with the master of the station for this, but the adults never agreed, and the brothers had to come to beg you."

Xiao Yiming made a look of sudden realization: "I said, a few days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, a group of leading brothers from the Sichuan Alliance gathered in Chengdu, it seems that today's glass of wine is not delicious!" ”

Jiang Dengxuan was quite embarrassed, he joined the alliance during his study abroad, and now he is the head of the Chengdu branch of the alliance, he has always hidden this identity from Xiao Yiming, but Xiao Yiming has always helped him, and he has never forgotten him with good armaments and materials, and now he is called out by Xiao Yiming for his secret identity, and the guilt in his heart is self-evident.

Cheng Qian hurriedly lowered his head, as if he didn't want Xiao Yiming to see his expression.

Only Xie Jiong didn't care, glanced at Xiao Yiming obliquely, and continued to eat and drink with a big grin.

In the end, it was Yang Shukan who broke the embarrassing atmosphere:

"Yiming, we also know your difficulties, and we are very grateful for your great help after the incident at that time, and let go of the vast majority of our comrades, but Yang Wei, Huang Fang, Zhang Zhixiang, Wang Shuhuai, Li Jingying, Jiang Yongcheng, these six gentlemen have been locked up, and it has been almost two years in the blink of an eye, even if the comrades are not in a hurry, their families are worried all night!"

Xiao Yiming was very embarrassed:

"The younger brother is really powerless about this matter Since the trial of Yang Wei and others, the younger brother has given some convenience through the relationship, and has changed from the felony prison to the Huayang County Prison with better conditions, and let them live together in Xiangyang's prison through the county master, and instructed the brothers who served as prison guards in the door to take more care, but they can only do this.

"Brother Jiang, Brother Cheng, Brother Xie, all of you are lieutenant generals and colonels, familiar with the laws and regulations, proficient in military orders, the younger brother is just a military preparation officer, and he can't manage the prison, so he really has a heavy trust."

"Humph!"

Xie Jiong snorted and stood up, Cheng Qian on the side wanted to pull him but didn't hold it, he could only look at everyone worriedly, seeing that Xiao Yiming still had that familiar smile on his face, he was immediately relieved, and after thinking about it, he remained silent.

Xie Jiong continued to stare at Xiao Yiming diagonally opposite, and sneered disdainfully:

"Xiao Military Academy, who doesn't know that you are the favorite of the Lord of Taiwan, and who doesn't know that you are the proud protégé of Lord Zhao, the minister of Jingbian? If you are willing to help, let alone let a few people out, even if you rush into the Dharma field and shout to keep people under the knife, I am afraid that the master of the stage will agree. ”

Xiao Yiming slowly put down the napkin:

"Xie Shenling's words are a bit excessive, you and I, as soldiers, should know the principles that soldiers should abide by, not to mention that your military rank is higher than mine, your military experience is longer than mine, you have more military relations than me, and you are more useful than me when you speak, but why don't you work hard for your comrades? Not to mention anything else, it's always okay for you to pick a joint letter and intercede, right? Why did you say these things to me instead? Isn't this a reluctance to go far? ”

"You ......"

"Thank you, sit down!"

Jiang Dengxuan drank the irritable Xie Jiong, turned to Xiao Yiming, and said apologetically: "Yiming, don't be angry, he is a straight temper, he does this to everyone, not to offend you!" ”

"Nope! Xie Shenling's anger depends on people, he is very kind to General Zhu and Yin Shenling, and he is also respectful to you and Brother Cheng, but he has never had a good face for the younger brother, and the younger brother doesn't know where to offend Xie Shenling, if you are really offended, please bear with me, and just say that the younger brother apologizes. ”

Xiao Yiming doesn't have such a good temper as before, he has a deep understanding of the truth that people are good and are bullied, today's status and face are not easy to come by, how can it be possible for a martial artist who is instructed by others to humiliate himself in front of so many people?

No matter how angry Xie Jiong was, he had to sit down, he didn't expect that the good-natured Xiao Yiming would be so faceless, and he rashly offended Xiao Yiming without weighing it clearly, and it was not easy to offend him by looking at the posture, it seems that he will no longer be able to live in harmony from now on, maybe he will become the target of Xiao Yiming's revenge from now on.

Cheng Qian hurriedly came forward to play a round:

"Yi Ming, don't be angry, Lao Xie has such a stinky temper, and he won't go to his heart when he finishes speaking, but your words just now reminded me, it seems that Yi Ming has thought of a way, right?"

"Yiming, tell me about it." Yang Shukan hurriedly asked.

Xiao Yiming could only sigh: "Actually, I once said that at the end of last year, I took someone to routinely inspect the prison facilities, and by the way, I brought some books, paper, pen and ink or something to give to Yang Wei and them, and told them that they might as well file a complaint and ask for a retrial of the case on the grounds of mistaken arrest and misjudgment. ”

Everyone's eyes lit up at the same time, and Cheng Qian asked happily: "You mean, let them appeal first, and then we, our friends in the army, will jointly intercede with the Lord of Taiwan?" ”

Xiao Yiming nodded: "That's right, this is the only feasible way at present, everyone wants face, a group of managers in the Governor's Mansion want face, the military judge of the Governor's Mansion wants face, and the Chengdu Mansion wants face Since this is the case, then okay, let's give face, isn't it over?"

"There has to be a staircase for officials at all levels to walk down this matter, right? It's okay for the master to make Taiwan, his old man has always been soft-hearted, if it hadn't made him disgraced, he would have asked about it a long time ago. ”

The hall was full of cheers, Cheng Qian quickly stood up, picked up the wine glass, and walked to Xiao Yiming: "Thank you, Yiming, you have helped a lot today, and I thank you on behalf of all the comrades of the Alliance!" ”

"See you outside, don't you?"

Xiao Yiming raised his glass and touched Cheng Qian lightly, and the two drank it all at the same time, and then showed the bottom of the cup, looked at each other and smiled.

Genjiro Tsukasa seemed to be happier than anyone else, watching everyone toast each other with a smile on his face, and after finishing his cup, he saluted Xiao Yiming: "Xiao Jun, you are a rare friend, I am deeply honored to have a friend like you." ”

"You're welcome, aren't you? If you really like me, wouldn't it be okay to sell me the next batch of goods at a slightly lower price? ”

Xiao Yiming raised her glass and responded humorously, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Jiang Dengxuan was happy, and asked rather mysteriously:

"Yiming, Liu Bingxian and Zeng Chaoran, the two virtuous brothers who studied at the Non-commissioned Officer School, are your sworn brothers, right? I've heard that you correspond with each other every month, and you have a lot of discussions with each other! ”

Xiao Yiming pursed her mouth: "Brother Jiang, do you just say that Liu Bingxian and Zeng Chaoran have already joined the alliance?" Do you need to beat around the bush like this? ”

Everyone laughed again, and Yang Shukan asked happily, "Then why don't you keep seeking progress?" ”

Without waiting for Xiao Yiming to answer, Xie Jiong didn't know where to put the wrong line in his head, and he went crazy again:

"Humph! This kind of person, you still ask him to improve? Thank God he didn't help his master and uncle to mutilate our comrades! Ladies and gentlemen, don't look at him smug now, just wait and see! ”

Xiao Yiming was furious, Yang Shukan was so frightened that he hurriedly rushed over to hug him, but Xiao Yiming's hands moved slightly, and in a blink of an eye, he clasped Yang Shukan's two elbow points, and then quickly took out a bronze medal from Yang Shukan's arms.

Xiao Yiming faced the colorless crowd, raised the bronze medal and said coldly:

"This is the badge of your alliance, that is, the belief you forged, and the eighteen stars on it represent your understanding of the country, the nation, and the territory, and I am not wrong...... All right! One day, if you put up the stars representing the three eastern provinces, Taiwan, Xinjiang, and Tibet provinces, I will join the Alliance, otherwise, I will never be with you! Leave! ”

Xiao Yiming threw down the badge and strode away.

Everyone was stunned, and none of them reacted, only Genjiro Tsukasa looked at the alliance badge on the ground for a long time, and his mood was extremely complicated.
