Chapter 80: Brotherly Love

After a few days of Tang Tong's appointment, he was appointed as the captain of the city gate of Xidingmen from Sipin. Where is Xiding Gate? The people in the house knew very well that they were worried about whether the lord would stay in the capital before, but now it seems that it is redundant, and they immediately cheered. Only Mao Zongxie and Tang Tong were not surprised, and they did not act particularly happy.

Taking advantage of everyone's happiness, Tang Tong decided to hold a banquet three days later, and only invited the same year of the shopkeepers and the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, and posted a post on the same day to invite the six people who beat the bow to drink.

On the morning of the third day, Zhang Yicheng and Yang Weibiao were the first to arrive, and as soon as the three of them met, Yang Weibiao waved his hands, "Congratulations to Brother Tang!" Promoted to City Gate Captain!", Yang Weibiao is a hearty person who likes to steal the limelight.

Zhang Yicheng thought that he didn't get to the point, and immediately corrected him, "Congratulations to Brother Tang for staying in the capital to serve, congratulations!".

Yang Weibiao and Zhang Yicheng have known each other for a long time, and they never care about each other, and when they saw Zhang Yicheng lifting his bar, they did not show weakness, "In addition to the capital, there is also a city gate captain?", said and looked at Zhang Yicheng very clearly, just to prove that he was right.

Zhang Yicheng was honest and broad-hearted, so he could only give in by himself, "Okay! You're right! I can't say you!", now Yang Weibiao is proud, in fact, he is also a battle of words, and neither side cares.

Tang Tong invited the two of them to sit in the living room. Zhang Yang and Chen Dehuai, the Marquis of Qingyuan, were fellow villagers and went to Guangdong. Zhang Yicheng is the seventh product of the general flag of Guangdong Qingyuanwei, and Yang Weibiao is the seventh product of the general flag of Guangdong Zengchengwei. If Tang Tong is not active, he will definitely go to Xuanfu to take up a job, and the expected result, how can he not go all out to be thoughtful.

After a while, Chen Ding came first, Tang Tong came to greet him, Chen Ding saw Tang Tong first and said: "I know that Brother Tang is not simple, the official position is the highest!", did not show a trace of jealousy, and had a happy expression for his friend.

Tang Tong replied with a smile: "I was originally a positive fifth grade, but I was promoted to a level, and the champion is from the fifth grade, what is high?", the implication is not too happy.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ding heard it first, and shook his head disdainfully and said, "Who is he?" The future Hou Ye, if it weren't for the restrictions, he would even want to get him a first-class official!", at this time, Chen Dingxian was very dissatisfied, and just vented.

Tang Tong didn't want to always hold Lan Tingshu, so he got off the donkey, "He still has self-knowledge, he didn't go down to Ren Qianzong, otherwise he would be good-looking!", Chen Ding first understood what Tang Tong meant, and would definitely give him small shoes to wear, and the two of them smiled knowingly and entered the living room. Chen Dingxian was appointed as the governor of the left army to experience the seven products of the division, and then Hu Xiyu came, he was appointed as the former military governor of the palace to try the hundred from the sixth product, from the position of Hu Xiyu still wants to lead the troops.

Yu Jian and Xiang Guozhen also came, both of them are from Shaanxi, and they only know each other because they know each other. It seems that the two of them have no background, but what they didn't expect was that Yu Jian, who didn't speak much on weekdays, stayed in the capital, and was appointed as the deputy judge of the Yamen Judgment Division of the City Gate Leader Zheng Qipin, and the relationship with Guozhen was worse than this. No matter how there are four people who stay in the capital, they have a relationship at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and they can help themselves somewhat in the future, and they dare not slack off, and they have to maintain this rare social network.

Successively Wu shopkeeper, Lu Youzai, and Hu Fuhou also arrived, and they were talking about business with Min Rongchao, and they naturally couldn't talk about it with Tang Tong in the same year.

At this time, there was a commotion in front of the gate, which disturbed the conversation of the seven people. After a while, He Wang ran in and whispered a few words in Tang Tong's ear, and Tang Tong immediately stood up and waved his hands: "Brothers! There's a little thing in the house that I need to deal with, I'll come later, I'm slacking!".

Everyone knew that something was wrong, and Chen Ding stood up first, "Do you want me to help?".

Tang Tong shook his head, "No! Don't I believe it?", seeing this, the six of them couldn't say anything, so they let Tang Tong go alone, and continued to talk about the topic just now, they believed that Tang Tong would do it himself.

As soon as Tang Tong came to the gate, the person who was cowering immediately shouted: "Tang Duwei! I'm here to congratulate Gao Sheng! I wish you more and more officials and rich resources!".

Tang Tong was wondering who this person was, and didn't reply immediately. Knowing this person, he said anxiously: "Last time when Tang Duwei moved, I also came to congratulate, but I was blind and didn't know the nobles!".

Tang Tong nodded at him with his hand, "Oh! Your name is Zhou Xing, and you gave me five taels of silver.".

"Look! Tang Duwei knows me, so don't stand in the way!", Zhou Xing lowered his personality, pushed away Ruan Zhan and Wei Shunzi, who were blocking him, and came straight to Tang Tong.

"Are you just here to congratulate, or do you have another purpose?", Tang Tong saw that he was ragged and dirty, so the people in the house stopped him, so they quarreled.

Hearing Tang Tong say this, Zhou Xing knelt down in fear, "It's still Tang Duwei, I have nowhere to go, I'm defecting to you!"

Tang Tong didn't squeak, and Zhou Xing's heart was even more flaming, and he was so anxious that he kowtowed again and again, "The adults don't care about the villains, you just spare the little ones, let me serve you, I will definitely go to the soup and fight the fire, and I will not give up!".

Tang Tong still didn't make a sound, flicked his right sleeve, turned around and left. Ruan Zhan and Wei Shunzi stepped forward to hold him when they saw the situation, and dragged them out, and Zhou Xing shouted: "I am sincere!" Adults just spare me".

As soon as he walked out of the gate, Tang Tong's voice suddenly came, "Let him come in!" Give him a change of clothes!".

Hearing this, Zhou Xing shouted loudly: "Thank you, Captain Tang!" You just see my loyalty!", Ruan Zhan and Wei Shunzi put him down, ignored him, and went straight back to the mansion.

There are no other people, and the seven people plus the Mao Sect Association are at the same table. Tang Tong raised his glass first, "The seven of us met because of fate, no matter who is developed in the future, don't forget to bring your brothers and fight tiger brothers!" I still need the help of my brothers, come and have a drink!", Tang Tong's words said that when the three of them were released, they immediately stood up, nodded yes, and the eight of them drank a cup together.

After a while, Chen Ding, who was not willing to lag behind, stood up first and raised his wine glass, "Brother Tang said this well!" There is no brotherhood of birth and death, even if you become a high-ranking official, you will still be looked down upon. Come! Let's all have another drink!", said himself in one gulp, and everyone drank it dry.

Hu Xiyu also stood up with a wine glass, "After listening to the words of Brother Tang and Chen Shao, I feel a lot of emotion, I am not good at words, in a word, I sincerely treat you as brothers!" Cheers!", everyone laughed and drank.

Tang Tong stood up and looked at Hu Xiyu, "Brother Hu! It doesn't matter if you don't speak, you have to eat together, you have to mingle with the soldiers in person, and you can make a combination of grace and power, this is the way to lead the soldiers.", Tang Tong was naturally right, Hu Xiyu nodded hurriedly when he heard it.

Chen Dingxian nodded appreciatively, "I have to remember Brother Tang's words well, this is experience!".

Yang Weibiao also came to express his feelings, "It's easy to say, but it's difficult to do, I'm afraid I can't do it!".

"There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of those who have a heart! If it is all then, it is easy to do, it is not difficult!", Hu Xiyu felt it.

"The situation is different, the people are all different, the difficulties can only be explored by yourself, no one can help you, you can't complain about others, you are a successful person if you do a good job!", Tang Tong said, anyway, everyone has their own way, the master led the door to practice by everyone, and everyone nodded again and again. Everyone was drunk at this banquet, and Tang Tong sent someone to send everyone back.

Next is Chen Dingxian and Hu Xiyu treated, the two of them live in the capital, and there are naturally more people to invite, and the pomp is also big. Six people sat at a table, and finally the host came to accompany them, and the love of the seven people grew deeper. Xiang Guozhen was the first to leave Beijing, two days before leaving Beijing, invited everyone to drink a meal in the restaurant, everyone sighed a lot, more than nine months of getting along with each other with deep feelings, parting everyone with tears in their eyes, straight to Guangji Bridge, Yu Jian, who has always been not good at words, hugged Xiang Guozhen shed tears, and saw Xiang Guozhen go away, before reluctantly returning to Beijing.

Zhang Yicheng and Yang Weibiao have something to deal with, so they will leave Beijing a little later, Tang Tong, Chen Dingxian, Yu Jian and Hu Xiyu have all arrived. Zhang Yang and the two can only invite three people to drink at night. When people arrived at the wine table, Zhang Yicheng raised his glass first and said; "After this farewell, I don't know when I will be able to meet my four brothers! Cheers, brothers!", said very sadly.

After the six of them finished drinking, Chen Ding raised his glass first, "Although we can't meet, we have to communicate more to keep in touch, and we must work hard, and strive to become a general, deputy general, and general soldier as soon as possible.", his eyebrows were full of confidence, in his opinion, only he could do this first.

Yang Weibiao raised his glass and continued; "Big brothers, if you have the opportunity to go to Guangdong, you must find us, and drink him upside down, come and have a drink!", the words were full of pride, without a trace of voyeurism.

Tang Tong also raised his glass, "If there is a chance, we will definitely go!" Come and drink!", Chen Dingxian, Hu Xiyu and Yu Jian drank dry.

Chen Ding patted his chest after drinking first, "Two brothers, please rest assured, the four of us are staring at the capital, as long as there is a chance to be promoted, we will recommend to the Marquis of Qingyuan, and as soon as the opportunity comes, you will be transferred to the capital, and our brothers will reunite again!", the six of you have a cup and I have a cup, until you stammer, you can't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, and finally let the subordinates help you and send them home.

On the third day, Tang Tong and the four of them sent Zhang Yicheng and Yang Weibiao out of the main gate, and they talked to each other all the way, and they didn't know what language to use to express it. Zhang Yang and the others did not follow them, and they came up from below. The six men did not ride any horses, and sent them out twenty miles of land. Zhang Yang and the two of them said that they would not let them send it again, and Tang Tong, Chen Dingxian, Hu Xiyu and Yu Jian hugged each other before getting on the horse, everyone had tears in their eyes, and they didn't dare to look at each other.
