Chapter 160: Brothers Reunited
Li Mansion.
Just as Li Sizhe was throwing things, Tang Dalong saw that Li Xuewen was gone, flashed around, and entered the room.
Li Sizhe was overjoyed when he saw that it was him.
"Brother Tang, where did you come from? Am I not dreaming? Li Sizhe grabbed Tang Dalong's two arms tightly with both hands and said excitedly.
"Ouch, don't get excited, it hurts my arm." Tang Dalong hurriedly said.
"I'm sorry, I'm so happy to see you all of a sudden." Li Sizhe hurriedly let go of his hand and said with a smile.
He closed the door, and the two brothers talked in the house.
Tang Dalong told Li Sizhe about the recent events outside.
"So, Commander Zhang has already arrived in the Taonan area?" Li Sizhe asked.
"Yes, it's just that for some reason, the nose of the little nose is too smart, they already know our whereabouts, therefore, last night, the army moved again." Tang Dalong said.
"Don't you know, the Japanese have planted eyeliner everywhere, and there are intelligence officers in places you can't think of, and in things you can't think of." Li Sizhe said.
"I see."
"Have you been to any places since you arrived in Chengde?" Li Sizhe asked.
"I've been to a restaurant, I've been to a pawnshop." Tang Dalong said.
"What are you doing at the pawnshop?"
"Take a watch from Commander Zhang."
"How much money did you make?"
"Fifty thousand taels of silver." Tang Dalong said.
"So much money! What kind of watch is that? So valuable! When Li Sizhe heard this, he was also taken aback.
"I don't know, I don't see what's good, I heard it's a Swiss watch." Tang Dalong said.
"What is he doing with all this money now?"
"Buy horses, Commander Zhang said, I am going to buy five hundred good horses, and I plan to equip a battalion, which will cost about 200,000 taels of silver, but now it is only 100,000 taels, and it is still half of it."
"The 100,000 taels, I'll figure it out." Li Sizhe said.
"That's not a small amount, are you sure?" Tang Dalong asked uneasily.
"It shouldn't be a big problem," Li Sizhe said, "tomorrow night, you come back again, and I'll give you the money." ”
"That's great."
"It's just that tomorrow my father forced me to go on a blind date, I don't want to go, what do you say about this?" Li Sizhe asked.
"Brother, don't blame me for being too talkative, I suggest you go and see, just now outside the window, I also heard what your father said, that girl is good, and her father Xu Shichang is a great man. Why should you sin? If you come to the scene, if you can see it, it is the best, if you can't look at it, don't refuse it in person, come back and say to your father that you are not happy, I think your father will not force you to agree, people see that you have come, there is no way to do it without fate, at least give face, if you don't go to meet with the girl, then, where is the face of the family? Tang Dalong persuaded.
"Well, since you say the same, then, I'll go and see."
"Brother, it's right for you to do this, you can see that your father also loves you very much, and you don't want to make your father angry." Tang Dalong said.
"I know that, it's just that he sometimes interferes too much in my affairs, and he never allows a 'no'. He usually arranged for two servants to follow me, even to the toilet, and I had no freedom at all, and I couldn't go back to the barracks if I wanted to. Li Sizhe said.
