Chapter VII: Incident with the Military Government (1)
The Mid-Autumn Festival night on August 15 is a time for families to reunite and relatives to get together.
Babao City is full of joy, rich and noble families visit the garden together, watch the flowers, chant poetry, enjoy the autumn moon with wine and songs, and ordinary people such as poor families cook a few small dishes at home to fill their stomachs, and at most have a few sipes to celebrate the festival. This is the difference between people, at least for thousands of years, between the rich and the poor!
Mencius once had a very famous poem: "The poor are good for themselves, and the good are for the world." It can fully explain how stark the positions and differences between the poor and the rich in that ancient feudal dynasty were.
It was night, and the guerrilla general's mansion in Babao Town was brightly lit, as bright as day. Because of this night, the guerrilla general Deng Yu invited many local famous families, dignitaries and wealthy officials, as well as his capable soldiers to the mansion to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In this way, the outside of the General's Mansion is full of people, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going. Of course, these people did not come empty-handed, and most of them brought gifts as a sign of sincerity. Deng Yu was very pleased to see this, so he ordered the music in the house to play music and dance with the dancing girls...... So the general's mansion was shrouded in a scene of warblers singing and dancing, jubilant and jubilant.
When the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival was oblique to everyone's head, the guests were seated, and Deng Yu ordered people to remove the singing and dancing and replace it with a banquet. Soon, Deng Yu stepped forward and raised his glass and said: "Tonight coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is really Deng Yu's luck to invite you to come to the house! Here, Deng wishes you with a glass of turbid wine." ”
At this point, Deng Yu suppressed his neck and drank the wine in the cup. Seeing this, everyone also drank all the wine in their cups. Deng Yu said some kind words again, and then sat down in his seat after greetings. All the guests at the invited banquet then rushed forward to toast Deng Yu and his wife. Then his colleagues drank together, and everyone who knew him and didn't know each other began to drink......
Soon, the wine passed three rounds, and the dishes passed five flavors. During the banquet, everyone had a lot of wine, and after the end, Deng Yu, accompanied by the pestering of others and his wife, began to toast the invited guests at each table in turn...... This Deng Yu's alcohol consumption is indeed very powerful, and he is not drunk at all after dozens of tables. Treat him to the last table, and the most remote corner: these people are Ling Nan and his nine men.
As soon as Deng Yu led his wife and the second vice generals Yang and Wang to their table, Ling Nan and the others had already stood up and raised their glasses to show their respect.
"General, this is Ling Nan, the tenth commander of the Pioneer Battalion! These are his subordinates......," Yang Shiyong stepped forward and introduced.
"Okay! Ling Nan, the tenth commander of the pioneer battalion, has extraordinary martial arts, and his subordinates are all very good...... Now that it has long been spread under the tent of my guerrilla general's palace, how can General Ben not know? Come, come...... On the occasion of tonight's festive season, General Ben would like to toast you!" Deng Yuxi said.
Ling Nan and the others thanked him, and drank all the wine in the cup.
"It turns out that you are Ling Nan...... Seeing that you are young, I can't imagine that you would have such ability! I heard that you shocked Steward Wei of Linjiazhuang back with a single punch last night? I don't know if it's really true?" Mrs. Deng also looked at Ling Nan at this time, and asked in disbelief.
If you talk about this Mrs. Deng: beautiful eyes, ice muscles and jade bones, long hair leaning on the shoulder, waist like three spring willows, color like the flower of spring dawn, a big beauty. Ordinary people are attracted by its beauty when they see it, even if they are heroes, they are afraid that they will frown and be moved when they see it......
There are some people in the general's mansion who usually want to take the initiative to say the first half of a sentence to Mrs. Deng, but they have never been close to Fangze. Unexpectedly, tonight, this Ling Nan was able to be inquired by his wife in person, isn't this envious of others, and sure enough, many people began to talk to each other, indicating that they were jealous.
"Madame Hui, that's ...... It was a small fluke...... "Ling Nan swallowed.
"Luck? I've long heard that Steward Wei's martial arts are among the best in Linjiazhuang, and you can actually get away with him? It seems to be a bit interesting!" Mrs. Deng said eloquently, her voice very moving.
When Ling Nan heard this, he did not reply again. He felt that this Mrs. Deng's eyes were as sharp as a sword, as if she could see through people's minds. After the end, his intuition told him that this woman was not simple!
At this moment, a young man with a white face who looked like a scholar walked into the hall and went straight to Deng Yu and the others.
"General, the lord of Tangjiabao Castle has led people to ......"
"Oh, Master Xu, then invite them in......" Deng Yu said.
It turned out that this white-faced scholar was Deng Yu's master Xu Chengwei. This person is Deng Yu's Zhiduoxing in the General's Mansion, and he usually gives advice to him, and he is Deng Yu's most relied on strategist.
However, he said that when Master Xu Chengwei came in, he had already looked Ling Nan up and down. Just as he turned to leave, Ling Nan happened to meet his eyes, and they inadvertently glanced at each other...... With just one glance, Ling Nan noticed that Xu Chengwei's eyes were different from ordinary people, and those two eyes were like cold stars hidden in the night. I also saw that Xu Chengwei's steps when he left were uncertain and powerful...... This is simply the potential of martial arts masters. At this point, Ling Nan was confident that he would not look away! Because this was also the skill of reading people in the rivers and lakes that his grandfather had taught him in the past.
Soon, Deng Yu and the others returned to their seats, and saw their master Xu Chengwei leading the four of them into the hall. The first of these four people was a powerful middle-aged man about forty years old, this person had a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, seven feet tall, a strong body and a round waist, and he really had a good momentum; the person who came was Tang Zhengqi, the lord of Tangjiabao. Then one person, Ling Nan, knew it, but it was Tang Qingyu, the son of the Tang family last night, and then there were two guards who came from Tang Jiabao with gifts.
Tang Zhengqi walked in front of Deng Yu and bowed his hand and said: "General Deng, I have been out for a few days because of important matters, and I heard that the general invited me when I returned to the fort tonight, so I hurried here; ”
When Deng Yu heard this, he smiled and said, "Okay! The Lord of Tangbao can come in the middle of his busy schedule, which is really embarrassing for me...... Come on, serve wine to the Lord of Tangburg. General Ben wants to toast the Lord of Tangbao with a cup of ......"
Not long after, there were servants in the general's mansion serving wine. Deng Yu and Tang Jiabao and others drank a few glasses of each other, and then they stopped. Since then, Tang Jiabao and others have taken a seat, and soon Tang Zhengqi and his son also took turns to toast to each table in the banquet. When the most reluctant went to the table of Ling Nan and others, Tang Zhengqi seemed to have known Ling Nan and others for a long time. Before they could speak, they heard Tang Zhengqi say: "Brother Ling, I salute you for this glass of wine! First, I thank you for helping Xiao'er last night, and second, you and I have made friends for the first time......
Donburgh said heavily...... The inferior people are just nobodies, how can they dare to be the castle lord so affordable?" Ling Nandao.
"Ha Lu Ha...... Brother Ling is a young hero, and he is said to be a hidden dragon in the abyss, and the rivers and lakes are obscure...... Tang has been wandering the rivers and lakes for many years, and he will not look away from countless people! This friend of yours, I have made up my mind!" Tang Zhengqi said with a smile.
Ling Nan heard Tang Zhengqi's bold words, and he couldn't help but have a little more good feeling in his heart, so he raised his glass and said, "Then this glass of wine, I should also wait for the lord of the castle!"
Everyone raised their glasses and drank happily, and there was a lot of laughter in the conversation.
In a short time, everyone was full of wine and food. Deng Yu invited the guests to go to the front garden hall to taste tea and admire the moon, relieve their hangover with some fruit cakes, and then sing and dance to help their heads.
Tonight, the moonlight is beautiful and the breeze is pleasant.
Many people have been immersed in the moonlight, intoxicated by singing and dancing. On this night, people finally realized the feeling of having wine today and getting drunk today, and not worrying about the moon. But Ling Nan here is a different kind of sorrow, although he is in the moonlight, in the singing and dancing, but his heart is secretly sad, and his expression is different.
That's exactly what it is: being alone in a foreign land, thinking of nothing, the moonlight is like water and water is like the sky; where are the people who come to look at the moon? The scenery is not last year!
Throughout the ages, some people have loved it like a panacea! But there are also people who hate it to the core, and call it a poison that pierces the intestines! In fact, there is no difference between good and bad in the essence of wine! The difference is only between people!
Perhaps, it really responds to that sentence: If wine is not drunk, everyone is drunk, and it is even more sad to drown sorrow through wine?
Ling Nan sat alone in a remote corner of the courtyard, he wanted to leave a few times, but he was worried that Deng Yu would blame him, so he had to wait for this to end quickly! At that moment, Ling Nan suddenly felt his eyelids start to tremble violently. He immediately had a bad premonition......
Not long after this premonition flashed in his mind, he found that a person walked straight to the stone table of Deng Yu and the others. The man was a young man, young and weak, but he was tall, and just by looking at his form, he knew that he was a master of martial arts for a long time.
"General Deng, the younger one is Ouyang Qingtian from Linjiazhuang! I heard that the general has a ten-division commander named Ling Nan who is strong in martial arts, and the little one wants to take advantage of such a beautiful night tonight and wants to learn from General Deng's subordinates to help his interest...... Dare to ask the general for permission?"
Deng Yu was shocked when he saw this young man coming unexpectedly. Hearing that he wanted to compete with Ling Nan here, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and he was silent for a long time.
Unexpectedly, before Deng Yu could reply, he heard his wife stroking his palm and said, "Okay...... General, I think it's so good, I can't help but get bored of watching the singing and dancing for a long time, and the concubine also wants to see the skills of the two of them?"
Although this Deng Yu is a general, he is extremely afraid of guilt! He obeys his wife's words, how can he ever have the slightest disobedience! Therefore, Deng Yu saw that his wife was also so interested, and he really said happily: "Since Mrs. has this Yaxing, let them have a competition......
Afterwards, Deng Yu said to Yang Shiyong, the deputy general on the side: "Vice General Yang, you go and give an order to let Ling Nan compete with this Ouyang brother......
"General, this seems a little inappropriate?" Yang Shiyong said with some displeasure when he heard this.
"Vice General Yang, didn't you hear that this is the general's order? Could it be that you want to disobey?" Wang Fei, another deputy general sitting firmly on the side, sneered coldly.
When Deng Yu heard this, his face was displeased, and he sipped a glass of liquor in front of the table into his mouth, only ignoring Vice General Yang's words.
"Lord Yang cherishes his subordinates, it is also human nature, the little one dare not work! it is better for the little one to personally invite your subordinate, right?" Ouyang Qingtian said with great insight after listening to the conversation between the three of them.
Yang Shiyong wanted to speak again, but he knew that Deng Yu and the others had made up their minds, and it was difficult to stop them. I had to shake my head and sigh, watching Ouyang Qingtian walk towards Ling Nan......
The conversation between the five people was heard by those who were close to the seat, but not by those who were a little further away.
When everyone saw Ouyang Qingtian walk in front of Ling Nan and stopped, they had already guessed something......
