Chapter 123: Singing about Wine and the Geometry of Life
"Captain Liu, please take a seat, if you don't take a seat, we won't be able to start this banquet!" Mary didn't see the doorway, but thought that letting Liu Hao stand at the door for too long was not a way of hospitality.
After taking the seat, Liu Hao sat under Ma Su's right hand, and Han Fei and Shu Zhu stood behind him left and right. Mary did not sit next to Ma Locust, but sat down on Liu Hao's right hand.
"Pap" two clappings, and the maids rushed in with delicate dinner plates. Delicacies from the mountains and seas, special delicacies, everything.
"Come, Captain Liu, I salute you for this first glass of wine." Ma Su picked up the wine glass and saluted Liu Hao.
"Thank you." Liu Hao raised his glass in response.
As soon as he drank it, before he could eat a mouthful of food, Ma Locust on the opposite side picked up his wine glass and said to Liu Hao: "I heard that you have carried out a major change of blood in the court team, and the captains of the twenty squads were removed by you on the same day. Then you put all the members of the original squad in the position of squad leader. I have a lot of admiration for that. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to borrow ten dares. ”
"The locust boy is serious. Internal lifting does not avoid relatives, meritocracy is my principle of employment. My team members are all good players and are completely capable of doing their own thing. Of course, this can also be said in the same way, a person who has attained the Tao of the chicken and the dog ascends to heaven. How can I let those who follow me not run away? ”
"I love to hear that. Come on, do it! The locust grinned, her eyes shining.
"." Liu Hao did not flinch, filled the wine, and drank it with his head up.
"Captain Liu, I like people like you who are happy. Let's fill up the wine and have another drink. ”
"Brother, why don't you let Lord Liu eat some food!" Mary persuaded from the sidelines.
"You see, they all say that girls are outgoing, and sure enough! Captain Liu didn't speak, why are you in a hurry? If he were my brother-in-law, I would let him go! It's a pity that he's not! Ma Locust's eyes never left Liu Hao's eyes.
"Miss Mary, I'm okay with my drinks, and I'm still able to hold it up. If I feel like I'm running out of it, I'll ask you for help. Liu Hao turned his head and smiled implicitly at Mary.
"Captain Liu. Mary is my beloved sister, and since she spoke, I have to give her a face, right? We don't drink the wine first, you eat the food first, let's chat a few words and take a break. The locust put down his glass, tore off a chicken leg, and chewed it heavily.
Liu Hao's food is much more gentle than him, just a chopstick like bamboo shoots and not like bamboo shoots.
"Captain Liu, natural selection for the survival of the fittest. Sheep eat grass, wolves eat sheep, and it is always the wolf and not the sheep who are kings on the grassland.
I admit that the Spirit Court is a behemoth with super strength. But so what? The strength is decreasing from top to bottom, and when it comes to our poor and remote land, how much of the deterrent power of the Zhenling Court is still retained?
The daily management personnel of the Luyang City Court team are not counted, and there are nearly 300 people with combat effectiveness. If there is a war, what can the 300 men do? Can you destroy the encircled enemy or can you hold the besieged Luyang City?
It's been a long time since the court team has been in real combat. Grab a random person, take off his uniform, and let him compete with the people of the Mercenary Guild, do you know what the outcome will be? He's going to be repaired badly, and he's powerless.
I don't know if you've ever followed the Mercenary Guild. The Mercenary Guild has developed rapidly in recent decades, but if the Mercenary Guild is a person, the strength will change drastically within a year.
The life of licking blood from the knife edge is far stronger than that of captivity, and maintaining vigilance and never-ending fighting beliefs will make each of them evolve into humanoid weapons on the battlefield.
The times are changing, the rules are going to be broken, the town spirit court has gradually declined, and a new era is coming. Speaking of the place of rising, the eyes of the locust were slightly reddened.
"Locust, let you drink less, you don't listen. It's okay to use wine as tea on weekdays, but today we invited Master Liu of the court team, your gaffe makes it difficult to be a father! For the third time, Masu reprimanded the locust. This time he spoke tactfully, without fireworks.
"Father, please don't be angry, I know it's wrong." The locust stood up from his seat, his hands on the seams of his trousers, and bent over ninety degrees.
"It's good to know your mistakes, drink your wine well, and don't talk nonsense again." Ma Su was still with a straight face one moment, but the next moment he became gentle and drizzly, and said to Liu Hao with a smile: "Captain Liu, I don't know if the food is to taste?" If it doesn't work, I can ask the cook to do it again. ”
"No, I can eat all the sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty. Dishes are like life, and there are all kinds of flavors in life, and we can't just pursue one of them. Liu Hao filled the wine, raised his glass with both hands, and gestured to Ma Su.
"It's a blessing that the Luyang City Court team can welcome such an elegant squadron leader as you. This cup should be drunk! Ma Su picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in the cup with Liu Hao.
After three glasses of wine, Liu Hao's face became ruddy. He didn't expect this wine to be so strong, it seemed to be different from ordinary wine.
"Careless! I'm so proficient in medicinal properties that I can recruit so easily! Ay! Life is full of learning."
Seeing that Liu Hao's face changed, Ma Su hit the railway while it was hot: "Captain Liu, although I didn't send someone to give me the new family policy you signed, I also sent someone to copy it." I think this new deal is very good, whether it is for the family or for Luyang City, it is a great thing.
We, the Ma family, are in favor of the new deal with both hands and are willing to contribute to the new deal. For this reason, I would like to toast you on behalf of the Ma family. ”
"Good!" Liu Hao filled himself up, and drank the fourth glass of wine without hesitation.
Seeing that Liu Hao's face was even redder, Mary said with concern: "Lord Liu, don't drink yet, let's talk!" You drink too fast, and it's easy to get up. ”
"It's up. Hehe, the wine and food plus the company of beautiful people make me poetic. Liu Hao stood up with a "bang", closed his eyes, and after brewing for a while, he read out a poem with every step.
"When you sing about wine, life is geometric! For example, the morning dew is bitter in the past.
Be generous and unforgettable. How to solve the problem? Only Du Kang.
Qingqing Zijin, leisurely my heart. But for the sake of the king, he has been groaning so far.
Yo yo deer chirping, eating wild apples. I have guests, drummers and shengs.
It's as clear as the moon, when can it be done? Worries come from it, and they cannot be cut off.
The more strange it is, the more vain it exists. Talking about the old kindness.
The moon stars are scarce, and the black magpie flies south. Three turns around the tree, what branches can be followed?
The mountains are not tired of being high, and the sea is not tired of being deep. Zhou Gong spit and feed, and the world returns to the heart"
After reading the poem, Liu Hao happened to walk to the door of the banquet hall. He stood there with his back to everyone, his hands behind his back, motionless.
"What a song about wine, how much life is geometric! What a Zhou Gong spit out and feed the world to return to his heart! Such a literary style, such a good poem, when the floating! Ma Su was moved by Liu Hao's poem.
However, what everyone didn't expect was that Liu Hao actually maintained a free and easy posture and fell straight towards the door.
"Master!"
"Your Excellency!"
"Lord Liu!"
Three exclamations rang out at the same time.
Ma Su and Ma Locust glanced at each other, and they were not sure whether Liu Hao was intentional or really out of strength. That's all the planning you've prepared in advance.
