Chapter 145: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron
Although there is no grand ceremony and noisy crowd, only General Hong went to the banquet alone, but this reception dinner is still a joy for the guests and hosts.
said that it was a dinner party to entertain guests, but in Yang Ming it looked more like a cordial family banquet for the elders to entertain the younger generations, and as for General Hong, he really didn't treat Yaliana as an outsider, and he also recalled a lot of the original experience during the banquet, and the picture was warm and warm.
"Oops! When people are old, they are willing to nag about some things of the past, don't be surprised by you young people! Old General Hong was drinking at the moment, his face was flushed, and he said with a big grin.
"How so! Uncle Hong, I'd like to hear you tell me a little bit about the past, but when I was a child, I used to hear my mother tell me interesting stories about when she wasn't married to my father, and it was as funny and interesting as you told me. It's just that my mother said that I married my father later, and I don't like to mess around anymore because of the rules.
But I know that my mother really misses not only before she married her father, but also for the life that humans don't have to hide. Ariana said with a hint of sadness.
Yaliana is very close to the quick-tempered General Hong, especially at the dinner, General Hong talked about some things back then, which made her a little leisurely, because she was born and has been facing the days when human beings have to hide, so she also hopes to bring the world back to that peaceful and warm era.
"Alas! Oh, yes! Who doesn't yearn for the old days! But can it really be recovered? General Hong also sighed gloomily.
"It's up to people to be able to do it! If human beings are self-contained, they will slowly die out sooner or later, but the people of my generation will be worthy of their hearts if they have fought for it, come, General Hong drinks, I salute you. Yang Ming also drank a lot at the moment, a little drunk, picked up the wine glass and toasted to General Hong.
"Have you ever argued? Haha, maybe! Come, drink, boy Yang Ming, I find that you are becoming more and more appetizing to me now. Old General Hong was a little distracted after listening to Yang Ming's words, but then he smiled and picked up his wine glass again.
In the banquet hall, the originally somewhat sad atmosphere was quietly interrupted by Yang Ming's persuasion, and the atmosphere warmed up again.
Xiao Mang and Xiao Zhu Pole are the first time to participate in this kind of dinner, although there are no guests and outsiders, but in front of a piece of lobster, abalone, the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the sea, they are going to drool out of the ground, and when the banquet starts, they eat even more regardless of the image.
And General Hong didn't mind seeing the indecent eating of the two teenagers, and poured them a glass of wine, and after finding that the two teenagers had a good amount of alcohol, he immediately persuaded them to drink.
The two teenagers didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, so they felt that the Portuguese wine was sweet and delicious, so they drank it without any scruples, but after a few glasses, the wine came up, and the two teenagers were a little unstoppable.
After all, Ariana is a young woman, and her drinking power is still shallow, so her cheeks are crimson after not drinking a few glasses, and she is not strong enough to drink, while Meng Xiyao simply does not drink a sip, in her opinion, drinking itself is the most stupid behavior, in addition to paralyzing the brain and making the brain unable to function, it will also hurt the body, and there is no harm but no benefit, so she disdains it.
Although Fang Jian also drank a few glasses, he was obviously not on the same level as General Hong, and most of the maids brought by Yaliana were just tasting them.
Only Yang Ming, Mo Decai and General Hong have an appetite, after all, Yang Ming came out of the army, and he was not drunk by drinking a lot of wine in the army, and Mo De is a transformed person, except for some taste in his mouth, it is no different from water, and it has no effect on his body.
So compared to Mo De, who drank no matter how much he drank, General Hong was still willing to pull Yang Ming to drink endlessly, and he would see the two of them dancing there when he pushed the cup and changed the lamp.
Just when General Hong was extremely happy and planned to get drunk to relieve his sorrows, suddenly a young man wearing the same military uniform as General Hong walked into the banquet hall with a somewhat panicked expression.
"What's wrong, what's the matter?" Old General Hong didn't pay much attention to the young man at first, but said with a big grin.
"This ......" The young man glanced at Yang Ming and the others, and was speechless.
Although General Hong drank a lot of wine, he did not completely lose his consciousness, so when the young man wanted to speak and stopped, he immediately understood, got up and said, "You go on!" When I get back, let's get back to drinking! Then as he spoke, he staggered over to the young man and walked out of the banquet hall.
"Yang Ming, I'm afraid this matter has something to do with us, and it may not be good news!" Meng Xiyao, who hadn't drunk a drop of wine, immediately looked at Yang Ming and said.
And Yang Ming's eyes were clear at the moment, and he looked at the slowly closed door without drunkenness and said, "Next, I'm afraid our life will not be easy." ”
Even a fool could see the young man's actions after entering the door just now, he wanted to tell General Hong that the news was related to Yang Ming and the others, and judging from the somewhat uneasy expression he had as soon as he entered the door and looked at Yang Ming and the others, it was not a good thing.
When General Hong asked him to say it in front of Yang Ming and the others because he had drunk too much, it was obvious that he couldn't say it in front of Yang Ming and them, so Meng Xiyao and Yang Ming would judge that something bad might have happened at the same time.
"Ahh What's wrong? Ariana was already a little drunk, so she didn't notice the situation that she should have been able to see, but turned around and asked coquettishly, it seems that Meng Xiyao, who adheres to the concept of drinking and making mistakes, is indeed not wrong.
"Miss, I'll tell you to drink less." At this time, a maid complained, and then hurriedly took some soup to rescue Yaliana, as for Fang Jian, who was already lying on the table, I don't know who was just as bad as him, and there were two teenagers, Xiao Mang and Xiao Bamboo Pole.
Yang Ming, Meng Xiyao, and Mo De did not answer Ariana, but let Ariana's maid help her rescue.
"Yang Ming, why don't I find a way to test it?" At this time, Mo De, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
Mo has to transform people, and he has done such a thing as having ears on the wall, but he doesn't know if his doing this will have any impact on Yang Ming and the others' plans, so he asked.
"Don't use it first, and then see, if General Hong comes back to cover up, we will find a way, otherwise let them find out that we are wrong." Yang Ming shook his head and said.
Yang Ming said so, so Mo De naturally didn't refute, but nodded silently and didn't make any extra moves.
It didn't take long for the old general Hong to come back in a huff, but looking at the old general's expression, although he was very angry, he was very sincere and did not hide it, which made Yang Ming and Meng Xiyao glance at each other, and their hearts were a little relaxed, at least they should be able to understand the truth of the matter soon.
"General Hong, please forgive the junior for taking the liberty of asking, is the incident just now related to us?" Yang Ming looked at Old General Hong and asked tentatively.
"Yes, it's related to you, MD, all the tricks are played on Lao Tzu, let me catch that little rabbit cub daring to spread wild on my territory, I have to pick his skin." The old general Hong was still angry, but he still said straightforwardly.
"Then what is the ...... of this matter" Yang Ming immediately asked when he saw that Old General Hong had no intention of concealing it.
"I just received news that someone deliberately spread rumors in the Haohai Fortress, saying that Super Wisdom promised that as long as someone can capture you and hand it over, it is willing to hand over three cities to that person to manage, and it will not interfere, so that they can develop with confidence." Old General Hong glanced at Yang Ming, and then replied truthfully.
"I didn't expect super wisdom to play this kind of trick, I know that I can't intercept and stop this meeting, so I can only attack my heart." Yang Ming said with a frown, and Meng Xiyao also fell into deep thought at the moment.
"Don't worry, boy, as long as you're on my territory, no one can touch you, but it seems that your actions will be difficult this time." Old General Hong sighed slightly.
In fact, General Hong didn't have much hope for this meeting, he just wanted to make some deals with some people to improve the Haohai Fortress, but after seeing Yang Ming, he suddenly felt that things might have taken a turn for the better, but now that there is such a scene, the only little hope is also very slim.
"Thank you, General Hong." Yang Ming said gratefully.
Although this plan is clearly to let Yang Ming and them fight in the nest, it is unknown whether the super wisdom can be fulfilled at all, but it is difficult to guarantee that some people who are greedy for profit and do not care about gains and losses will attack Yang Ming and others, so with the promise of General Hong, it will leave Yang Ming and others with a lot of trouble.
However, it is still a small trouble to be attacked, super wisdom has come to such a hand, no matter how many smart people there are, the human leaders of more than 3,000 people are uneven, it is inevitable that people's hearts will fluctuate, Yang Ming has no prestige, and now that he is so handed, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to gather people's hearts.
"Okay, no thanks, I guess your kid will have trouble next, so let's get here today!" Old General Hong looked at Yang Ming and the others with a sad face, and knew that this banquet could not go on, so he had to wave his hand and end this originally very lively party.
Although General Hong left ahead of schedule, he sent a lot of people over, and in order to fulfill his promise, he escorted Yang Ming and the others back to their residence.
After Yang Ming and the others returned to their residences, the drunk people were all sent back to the room, such as Fang Jian and Yaliana, Xiao Mang and Xiao Bamboo Pole, and Yaliana's maid naturally stayed with Yaliana.
At this time, only Yang Ming, Meng Xiyao, and Mo De were still standing awake on the viewing platform in the corridor, but they were silent for a while, and the atmosphere in the three rooms was depressing.
"Yang Ming, do you think those people will believe it?" Meng Xiyao was the first to speak, breaking the silence and said.
"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, the important thing is that these guys originally had their own ghosts, and now their minds are even more unpredictable.
Before, we only needed to guard against whether they would backtrack, and now we also need to guard against whether they will be stabbed in the back, the leader of more than 3,000 people, extremely complicated, if we don't trust each other, and the interests cannot be balanced, then what counterattack will we talk about in the future. Yang Ming also shook his head a little helplessly, he didn't expect super wisdom to give them such a hand. I want to talk about "Human Clearance System" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
