The one in the Great Xia Royal Capital didn't let Wang Xuan underestimate him, and the transport fleet crossed the border safely and went straight to the bordering Xingfeng City.

Huerchak, the king of Huyue, personally greeted him at the gate of the city and gave him an auspicious face.

Sun Yingjie, the commander of the steel company, and Shi Xingchang, the commander of the glory company, returned the salute to the foreign ministers, and the atmosphere was extremely strong.

Although there are not many auspicious supporters, only less than 300, the significance of the representation is extraordinary.

That's why the old king said with emotion: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, I've sent all the letters asking for help, and only Jixiang sent troops to help, old man!"

Sun and Shi are also related, the beard in front of them is white, although the eyes are still as sharp as an eagle, but it is still difficult to hide the twilight atmosphere.

It's really old!

"Where is my father old, it is clear that those who have nothing to do with themselves are worried about setting fire to themselves, and want to reap the profits of the fishermen, all of them are a group of flies and dogs. ”

Hearing that King Hu Yue was old, the eldest prince Cole was angry and complained a few words, wanting to save some face for his father.

"What the eldest brother said is that when my father was in charge of the north and south, those rats were still hiding in the arms of their mothers to breastfeed. The second prince Kuike echoed, "Besides, my third brother, if it weren't for those stupid people, my third brother would have fallen into the hands of the people of lust." ”

When Shi Xingchang heard this, he almost squirted out the mare's milk wine in his mouth, and it was uncomfortable.

Sun Yingjie was sitting next to him, and when he saw this, he couldn't help kicking him, and said secretly: "Pay attention, you are now representing the auspicious royal family, your majesty, don't leak out the habits in the army." ”

Shi Xingchang finally held back the wine, glanced at Sun Yingjie and said, "Yo, the anger from last time hasn't disappeared yet, and besides, I'm not a child." ”

Seeing Shi Xingchang's disapproving Hangerlang, Sun Yingjie was angry.

At this time, the princes and ministers who accompanied the wine on both sides of the hall began to toast to the two frequently under the graceful dance of Mei Ji.

Shi Xingchang himself has a good amount of wine, he has drunk any wine in Jixiang, white and red mix, white and yellow mix, white, red and yellow hodgepodge have all experienced, so he is not stunned at all in front of more than ten degrees of mare's milk wine, it is the one who comes who does not refuse, raise a glass and dry, Sun Yingjie, who saw it on the side, almost stared at the bull's eye, and was stunned.

There is an unwritten rule in the auspicious army, that is, whoever asks for a bargain will invite the party who suffers to eat wine.

For example, after Yu Bo caught George and his party, he announced on the spot that he would invite his comrades-in-arms who came after him to have a drink.

Therefore, after the defeat of the steel regiment, the people below had the intention of slaughtering the glory regiment for a drink, but they just caught up with the expedition, and this matter was delayed.

At this time, when Sun Yingjie saw Shi Xingchang's way of drinking, he knew that he had a lot of alcohol, and he couldn't help but be happy.

But fortunately, I am deeply worried, although the amount of wine is good, the degree of wine is not high, but I can't stand the other party's wheel war.

This adds up to a lot, and I'm afraid that sooner or later I will get drunk.

After thinking about it, in the end, Sun Yingjie secretly stabbed Shi Xingchang's thigh with the tip of his left foot, and couldn't help but glance at him.

However, Shi Xingchang, who was drunk, let him kick it, sat on the soft blanket by himself, drank wine and ate meat in a big bowl, and the angry old grandson blushed and had a thick neck.

"Lao Shi, Lao Shi, Lao Shi?"

Seeing that Sun Yingjie was louder, Shi Xingchang simply turned his head and asked what was the matter.

Sun Yingjie said: "We haven't done anything yet, if you go on like this, you will fall sooner or later." ”

Unexpectedly, Shi Xingchang said: "You expect these people to provide you with information? Pull it down, I bet that there are not many of them who have even seen the Semu people, let alone intelligence, and I respect him as a man who can withdraw with the team." ”

Shi Xingchang's eyes seemed to be intoxicated, but they were full of ridicule at this time.

Sun Yingjie took advantage of the situation, those who either smiled kindly and had a big belly, or who behaved elegantly and had a noble breath, none of them had the word 'arrogant' on their bodies, let alone fought with the Semu people.

Indeed, as Shi Xingchang said, it is rare not to run away in advance.

In this group of people, I'm afraid that I can only get the so-called information about whose young lady is good and which girl's girl is the easiest to get started with.

In addition to being disappointed, Sun Yingjie also drank a lot of wine.

Seeing this, Shi Xingchang hurriedly said to him with the strength of wine: "What are you doing, I'm here to make a scene, after these-stirring sticks fall, you will be close to those people in the corner, I can't say that I will get anything, didn't I see their angry expressions when the second prince spoke." Also, seeing the color on the armor, it is their best military medal, and in my opinion, it cannot be faked. ”

Sun Yingjie put down the wine glass and followed Lao Shi's instructions, and sure enough, at the end of the opposite seat, he saw several three people who were not good-looking and dressed as military generals.

Their armor was dark red, and some of them were red and black.

According to his experience, it should be the blood stains that are constantly infected, and the color formed after years and months cannot be washed away.

This confirmed Lao Shi's judgment from the side, and Sun Yingjie was a little convinced.

Then he continued: "Hey, Lao Shi, you see, why are the martial artists here not taken seriously and sitting at the last seat?"

Shi Xingchang said angrily: "Hmph, I'm afraid it will be different after a while." ”

Sun Yingjie was puzzled and asked, "How do you say it?"

"How can you say that? After a long time of comfort, the horse is put in Nanshan, and now the horse needs to run away, can the horse's treatment not be improved? Besides, fighting the country depends on martial arts, but the management of the country has to rely on literature, and our majesty said that the military does not interfere in politics is also the same meaning. ”

Sun Yingjie understood, "The emotional gang hasn't seen the situation clearly yet, thinking that the people with lust are just joking?"

Shi Xingchang raised the corners of his mouth, toasted a cup with a noble lady opposite, drank it all, and said: "So, when the soldiers come to the city, I am afraid that this place will be the world of martial artists, but I don't know how many people can survive these princes and nobles who are still showing off their martial arts, and the so-called ministers of the humerus." ”

These words made Sun Yingjie can't help but draw a bloody scene in his mind, the noble lady opposite who is with spring on the corner of his eyebrows is already a pile of dry bones, those who are still talking are already dead souls under the knife, and those speculators who are camping in various circles have taken advantage of the situation and turned into a dog in troubled times.

If there are dogs here.

Although Shi Xingchang's words are not credible, out of intuition and understanding, he still thinks that Lao Shi's judgment will happen with a high probability.

Then after a while, most of these people who are still human are not human beings.

Thinking that the people who are acting on the scene today are all ghosts under the knife tomorrow, Sun Yingjie has become tasteless.

If it weren't for the information of some colored people, he wouldn't even bother to act.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the favorite scene of the princes and nobles is coming.

At this time, Shi Xingchang was wandering among several noble ladies, talking about the barbarian words that the other party didn't understand very well, and by the way, he also learned a few words of the nephew's words that he couldn't distinguish clearly, and both sides enjoyed it.

Although they are all acting, Shi Xingchang is looking for fun in the play and enjoying them, while the ladies are trying their best to do the fake play and win a place to live.

King Hu Yue and his two sons also maintained an elegant posture, smiling and watching everyone play.

And Sun Yingjie is also looking for an opportunity, wanting to avoid the entanglement of several nobles and talk about it.

"Distinguished auspicious guests, you must not refuse the noble ladies who accosted you, they are your prey tonight, including their husbands will not care, good luck!"

These words may have been said slowly by the other party, or they may have been deliberately explained to Shi Xingchang, so the words were very clear, and he actually heard them clearly.

'Her husband doesn't care, why don't you ask me if I care?'

Although he thought so in his heart, his body was very honest, and this scene made Sun Yingjie inexplicably angry.

Seeing that the people in the opposite corner were about to leave, they didn't care about the bullshit northern etiquette, so they stepped forward and dragged Shi Xingchang over, and asked him with their heads in their heads: "They are leaving, are you still crazy here?"

Shi Xingchang said: "Don't worry, I still have a big move yet." ”

"What ultimate?"

"Wait. ”

Saying that, Shi Xingchang came to the foot of the steps in front of the old king, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the foreign minister has brought some auspicious wine to Your Majesty on the order of my king, and I hope Your Majesty will accept it with a smile!"

As soon as these words came out, the people in the audience paused as if they had been immobilized by a spell.

"Oh, but that dream is auspicious?" Cole was overjoyed, and busied himself with confirmation.

The second prince also chimed in.

"No, no, no. Shi Xingchang shook his head, "What I brought this time is the 'drunk auspicious' brewed by my king himself, which is a rare thing in the world. ”

"Oh, so peculiar? The king must have tasted it, so bring me the wine. "The old king was in high spirits, and the crowd shouted 'wine'!

Not long after, a beautifully carved Nanmu box was carried up by the military man.

When I opened the box, there were six bottles of 'drunk auspiciousness' in one catty.

This wine is made by Wang Xuan who is idle, and he figured out a brewing method similar to the second pot head, and the taste is very rushed, and the person who can drink half a catty of "Dream Jixiang" is afraid that this wine is difficult to bear in two taels, and the degree is less than sixty.

The wine bottle is a transparent printed glass bottle, which is not uncommon in auspiciousness, but it is extremely rare in Hu Yue.

Therefore, as soon as the bottle came out, everyone decided that it must be a good wine.

When Shi Xingchang pulled out the cork, a strong smell of sake lees spread, and there was a sniffing 'hum' sound at the scene.

"Quick, full, full!"

The old king was in high spirits, and his climax came early.

So Shi Xingchang took three steps and two steps up the steps, stood in front of the tiger skin seat of King Hu Yue, and poured him a full cup, which was a porcelain cup of two taels.

So he poured it one after another for the two princes and the royal relatives, and the six bottles of 'drunk auspiciousness' have also bottomed out, just right.

"Foreign ministers wish Your Majesty a long life, and I wish Hu Yue eternal peace!" Shi Xingchang is very good at doing things.

"Good!"

"Well said. ”

"I wish Your Majesty a long life, and Hu Yue will always enjoy peace......"

The crowd roared, as if they were shouting out all the fear of the Semu people, extremely hard, even crazy.

Several officers in the corner just moved their mouths, and their expressions were a little silent.

Sun Yingjie, who was not far away, was always watching them, for fear that they would run away, so he knew that they were just working and not making efforts, which was equivalent to fake singing, which was fake roaring here.

"!"

"Dry ......"

Two or two 'drunk auspicious' down, not to mention the degree of this wine and people's adaptability, just the effect of the little mare's milk wine eaten earlier has made people dizzy, coupled with the high number of liquor mixed, no matter how good the amount of alcohol is, people have to pour it for the first time.

So it only lasted for a moment, and there were 'clanging, popping' sounds around one after another, and then the sound of 'popping' mixed up, and the rank fell down as expected.

As if it was not uncommon, the few officers in the corner were not surprised, but the silence in their eyes was even worse, which made men like Sun Yingjie feel particularly pitiful.

At this time, Shi Xingchang was still walking vigorously on the corners of the skirts of the noblewomen and celebrities, with his angular outlines and faintly hesitant stubble, attracting their attention.

According to Sun Yingjie's speculation, he is afraid that he will be slept with tonight.

Seeing the opportunity, Sun Yingjie slipped in front of several Hu Yue officers in the corner, blocked the other party's way, and said: "Sun Yingjie, the company commander of the Jixiang Army Steel Regiment, is fortunate to know several military robes, and I am fortunate to meet them." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand, which had become accustomed to nature.

After a little hesitation, the other party also skillfully stretched out his right hand and shook it with him one by one.

After a circle of holdings, Sun Yingjie, who realized it later, came to his senses and said strangely: "You ......"

At this time, the three of them shook their heads and smiled bitterly, and one of them, a young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, said: "We are all brothers who have studied in Jixiang Technical College in the previous two sessions, and we are ashamed to say ......."

Now Sun Yingjie understood, and then he was happy in his heart.

"Why are people from my technical college treated like this?"

He was embarrassed to say that he sat on a 'cold bench', and it was not good to refute his face in person, so he changed his words.

This is not Sun Yingjie's boasting, people who come out of the technical college are robbed every year before they graduate.

At present, although the knowledge learned by several people is not related to military affairs, the principles of how to behave in the world are the same, so there is this question.

Another middle-aged man, who was a little older, said, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, sir, we're still good." ”

"Oh, how do you say that?" Sun Yingjie's face gradually became serious, knowing that this person was afraid that he was a special student, otherwise he would not be so old.

"Hey, our first two batches of people can be regarded as grassroots counterattacks, and when they came back from Jixiang, it didn't take long for them to be favored by the king, so they were entrusted with a heavy task. Then, starting from the third batch, the students who studied abroad were all the children of nobles, and there was no such opportunity for the poor family. ”

It turned out that after the old king saw that Jixiang's education level was so powerful, he threw away the practice of 'face project' and selected some noble children to study in Jixiang.

In his opinion, it is more reliable to be 'his own people'.

The sons of the first two Hanmen have already learned talents, so most of them serve in the army, and civil officials don't think about it, it is the private land of the princes and nobles.

Now that the color is invading, the sons of the poor men who have learned their skills are fighting the enemy on the front line, and those noble sons are following behind to pick up the cheap.

To put it bluntly, the merit belongs to the boss, and the fault is one's own.

That's why these three people said they were lucky.

Sun Yingjie was embarrassed when he heard it.

It's not that he's kind as a woman, but that he has a natural sense of closeness to a few people from the auspicious academy.

Similarly, the three of them also felt the different demeanor and demeanor of the auspicious reinforcement company commander in front of them from before, and their hearts were clear, so they gradually became acquainted.

The topic naturally came to the people with colored eyes.

"They...... Terrible. The young man of twenty-five or six said.

"They don't just have artillery, they have artillery, but they are much smaller and smaller, one for each person. Another added.

Sun Yingjie doesn't understand, what is a 'small cannon', and everyone has one?

So he asked about the characteristics of the small cannon.

After some description by the middle-aged man, Sun Yingjie finally determined that the standard weapon used by the other party was the arquebus, the first generation of auspicious muskets.

Shocked but also a little happy.

The shock came from two places, one is that the science and technology of the outer continent is so developed and has caught up with the auspiciousness, and the other is that His Majesty is like a god and lives up to his reputation.

Fortunately, it's easy to understand, at least Jixiang still has a technological lead, and they have begun to change to flintlock pistols, and it is the ultimate version of flintlock pistols.

The three of them were shocked when they saw the auspicious infantry company commander, and then they were a little happy, so they made up their minds, and the color of silence on their faces was re-dyed, which was even richer than before, like ink, and could not be dissolved.

"If only I had listened to my mentor and stayed in Jixiang. The twenty-five or sixteen-year-old said softly.

"But this is our home after all, we can't forget our roots!" the middle-aged man said helplessly, and a fog appeared in his eyes.

"Home, but I have never felt the warmth of home, there is only endless use and abandonment, and their cold eyes. When the other man spoke, his face was covered with tears.

Sun Yingjie didn't know whether the other party was true or false, or under the stimulation of alcohol, he magnified his sensibility and caused this, but the other party gave him the feeling that he was still a flesh-and-blood social person, not pretentious, so he was already serious in his heart.

"If I get back to good luck, I can think of a way. ”

After saying this, Sun Yingjie regretted it, a typical exchange of shallow words.

What's more, he is an auspicious reinforcement to support Hu Yue, and he is an envoy, which has lost his sense of proportion and crossed the line.

Fortunately, the words he sent out of bounds did not disgust the other party, but judging from his expression, his feelings were a little deeper.
