Chapter 155: Shou Ti
Chen Zui is the leader of the gang, he won the first prize, and the prey was also distributed to everyone, just have fun, there is no need to fight for this win or lose, only pick the prey that interests him along the way.
In the past few years, he has been busy with help, and he rarely has the opportunity to teach Leng Chuxian to ride a horse and shoot a gun, listening to what Chen Youwei said just now, he is curious to see how Leng Chuxian's level is.
He picked up his prey and put it in the bamboo basket on horseback, went down the road Leng Chuxian took, and walked around the forest for more than ten minutes, and saw Leng Chuxian in front. As he approached her, two sparrows flew over his head, and the branches rattled.
I saw Leng Chuxian holding the reins with his left hand, leaning to the right side, the muzzle of the gun pointing upward, "bang" twice, and the two sparrows fell. Leng Chuxian turned the horse's head to take her prey, and there was a black shadow in the bushes that swished from left to right, fast as the wind, but Leng Chuxian's gun was fired almost at the same time, "bang", and then heard a sharp and slender wail, Leng Chuxian approached and mentioned, it was a black hare.
"It turns out that your marksmanship is so accurate, it seems that you have a chance of winning the championship."
Leng Chu said engeniously: "Can my marksmanship still get into your eyes?" ”
Chen Zui said: "Judging from just now, I am only better than you at most, how can such a good marksmanship not be in the eye?" ”
"You deliberately said good things, who else can match your marksmanship besides Cheng Jing?" As soon as the words came out, Leng Chuxian immediately regretted it, and hurriedly rephrased: "That...... If you say so, I'll try hard, and what reward will I get if I win? ”
Chen Zui smiled, "If you can't think of it now, remember it first, and tell me when you think of something you want, it will be valid at any time." ”
"It's a deal." Leng Chuxian turned the horse's head and continued to look for her prey.
After another hour, everyone returned to the original point to count the prey in their respective bamboo baskets, no coincidentally, there were three people who had the most prey, Chen Youwei, Qu Tang Master, and Leng Chuxian.
Shen Hong said: "Chu Xian, it turns out that you are really pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger." ”
Lu Baiting was a little unwilling, "If I hadn't seen a ewe suckling just now and couldn't bear to do it, this first place would be mine alone." ”
Leng Chuxian said: "Finally, you have a conscience and didn't shoot those two sheep, and now Ruodie is pregnant with her second child, you are accumulating blessings for Ruodie and your unborn child." ”
Everyone laughed for a while, and Chen Zui said that he would give Chen Qu and the two hall masters a salary increase after he went back as agreed.
"Chu Xian, have you thought about your color head?"
Leng Chuxian said: "I haven't thought about it for a while, but the helper said that there is no time limit, let me go back and think about it." ”
Chen Youwei said with a straight face: "Chu Xian, since the helper has promised you, you have to seize the opportunity and use it in the things you expect most." ”
A group of eyes floated over secretly, Leng Chuxian's face was full of blood, and he turned around and lowered his head.
Everyone knows Leng Chuxian's affection for Chen Zui, Yu Gong, the Guo family can be the strongest and powerful economic backing of the Xiao Gang, Yu Private, the Xiao Gang is convinced by Chen Zui, and is friendly with Leng Chuxian, everyone is looking forward to them tying the knot, but I don't know if Chen Zui is interested in Leng Chuxian, he is the gang leader, and the big guy doesn't dare to ask him openly.
Chen Zui knew that Chen Youwei had something to say, and he was also a little embarrassed, and was about to change the topic out loud, when there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and a disciple of the gang came to the forest.
"Tell the helper, Song Jiujue and Song Dashuai sent two messengers to the gang to ask to see the helper."
"What's going on?"
"The messenger said that there was an invitation to give to the helper himself."
Chen Youwei was puzzled: "Gang leader, since the first gang leader, there has never been any contact between our Xiao Gang and various warlords, how could Song Jiujue suddenly send someone to send an invitation." ”
Shen Hong suddenly said: "The first gang master is not bad, it seems that there are already warlords who have begun to fight our ideas. ”
"Is it the Hongmen Banquet?"
Chen Zui said: "We haven't even seen the face of the envoy yet, don't rush to conclusions, let's go, let's see what invitation Song Dashuai has sent me." ”
Everyone went back together, Shen Hong, Lu Baiting, and Chen Youwei accompanied Chen Zui to the main hall to meet the guests, and the rest went home separately.
They arrived at the main hall, where two messengers were drinking tea and waiting. Seeing the master coming back, he immediately stood up, and Chen Youwei introduced them to them: "This is our Chen gang leader." ”
The two arched their hands and said, "Gang Master Chen is good." ”
"Please sit down, I wonder what you have to say when you come to our gang?"
The two walked to Chen Zui's side, and one of them took out a red sticker and handed it to Chen Zui, "Ten days later, it will be our handsome's 50th birthday, and we will come to deliver the post on the order of the handsome, hoping that the Chen gang leader can come to Changling to celebrate our handsome's birthday." ”
Chen Zui took the invitation and hurriedly flipped through it, and said bluntly: "I have never met Song Dashuai, why would you invite me to celebrate my birthday?" ”
The man smiled and said: "Gang Master Chen is young and promising, and Song Dashuai has admired him for a long time, and I hope to meet you through this birthday banquet." ”
Chen Zui's heart was very comfortable, and he still said calmly on his face: "The handsome man is falsely praised, I really dare not take it." I would venture to ask, which big names did Song Dashuai invite for his 50th birthday? It won't be just a small thing. ”
"In addition to relatives and friends, our Dashuai also invited Bai Dashuai and Li Dashuai."
"Okay, please let the two of you return to Song Dashuai, Chen will definitely go to Changling to celebrate the birthday of Dashuai, it's getting late, it's better for the two of you to rest in Jingu for one night, and then return tomorrow."
"Thank you for the kindness of Gang Leader Chen, the two of us still have important things to do, so it's inconvenient to bother, so I'll leave."
Chen Zui no longer kept them, and let them send them out.
Chen Youwei said: "Helper, do you really want to go to Changling to celebrate your birthday?" ”
The corners of Chen Zui's mouth rose, "We are also doing business in other people's places, Song Dashuai did not shoot telegrams, but sent someone to deliver the post, which shows his sincerity, if he doesn't go, it will be too rude." ”
"The more sincere Song Jiujue is, the more unkind he is."
Chen Zui said: "Of course I know that Song Jiujue wants to take the opportunity to probe my truth and see if I can be used by him." ”
Lu Baiting said: "Not only this, but there is also an important reason...... "paused, "It's Cheng Jing." ”
"Since Cheng Jing unified the central and southern regions, the southwest and the north have long secretly formed an alliance, Song Jiujue wants to win you over or second, he is worried that you will join forces with Cheng Jing to provide ports and docks for her army, and even send troops at the same time, then they will be in danger."
Chen Youwei persuaded: "What Bai Ting said makes sense, it's better to send someone to send a generous gift, and it is also not rude." ”
Chen Zui said: "Even if I don't go this time, Song Jiujue will try every means to see me, and I can't escape when I should come." If he can come to explore my reality, I can also go to their reality. ”
Chen Youwei said again: "Since the helper is going, I must bring more brothers with me when the time comes, so as to prevent Song Jiujue from having any conspiracy." ”
Chen Zui said: "It's just to celebrate his birthday, it's not appropriate to bring too many people, Song Jiujue sent an invitation in a dignified manner, if I really have an accident on his territory, it will inevitably provoke a war, that doesn't give Li Chengjing a chance to take advantage of, Song Jiujue won't be so stupid before he is absolutely sure." ”
"When the time comes, Shen Hong and Brother Chen, just bring a few more brothers to accompany me, and we will choose a generous gift for Song Dashuai."
At night, the night was slightly cold, the autumn cicadas were chirping, and Chen Zui's heart was a little messy, for one person. In the first two years, he was very sad when he thought of Li Chengjing, but everything was a foregone conclusion, and he kept forcing himself not to think about it. He also knew that as the situation changed, they would eventually meet again, but he didn't expect this day to come so quickly and so suddenly.
"Knock knock!"
Someone knocked on his door, Chen Zui was taken aback, came back to his senses, walked over and opened the door, Lu Baiting stood at the door, holding a pot of wine in his left hand and two silver wine glasses in his right hand, "I knew you hadn't slept yet." His eyes swept to the left, and he motioned for Chen to come to the stone table next to him.
"Is Lang'er asleep?"
Lu Baiting poured the wine and said, "Ruodie had already coaxed him to sleep before I came out. ”
"Ruodie's due date is less than a month, so I won't let you go to Changling together."
"I understand." Lu Baiting raised his wine glass, the two touched it, and drank it all. "I'm here to find you tonight, and I'm in the main hall today, so I can't say much about it."
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"Your affair with Cheng Jing." continued: "Have you ever thought that Cheng Jing would also find you to join forces to help her smooth the world, if there is really that day, what are you going to do?" ”
Chen's heart sank, and he also thought about it at this time, so he said: "I swore in front of the gang leader that I would defend the Xiao Gang and not get involved in the war between warlords. ”
Lu Baiting nodded, expecting him to say this. "Then let me ask you one more question, please answer me honestly, do you still love Cheng Jing?"
This is the question that Chen Zui has dared to think about the most in the past few years, and now he suddenly asks it, and it is difficult to express it.
Lu Baiting saw that he was speechless, and sighed, "You can't let go of Cheng Jing." ”
Chen drunk himself and took a drink, "I...... I don't know ......."
"Chen Zui, let me say something that I don't like, you and Cheng Jing are no longer possible, do you want to go on like this forever..... You are open-minded by nature, but why can't you break this obsession in five years? Bitter yourself, neglect, hurt the people who have always stayed by your side. ”
Chen Zui remained silent.
Lu Baiting took a drink and stood up, I will go back, and you can taste the rest of the wine slowly.
Chen Zui was as if he had been empowered, and suddenly remembered that when he was closed for that relationship that ended without a problem in the past few years, it was another person who was silently paying for himself, and he had never had the slightest response and warmth to her. The money invested by the family has been returned with interest, but what should he pay back the true feelings he owes Leng Chuxian?
After a long time, only the last glass of wine remained in the pot, and the moonlight had become desolate, and it was time for him to put it down.
