Time: Ten years after Hu Biao and the others left, in the evening.

Location: Xiangyang City, Brother Restaurant.

Saying! In recent years, a group of old and young masters in Xiangyang City, as long as they talk about this brother restaurant, there are few who do not give themselves a thumbs up.

Not only because the food in the store is delicious and the price is reasonable; The shopkeeper is very benevolent and righteous, and he has to do good deeds every year to repair bridges and pave roads.

What's more, the shop started out as a small noodle stall selling tofu noodles on the side of the road.

Relying on the joint efforts of the husband and wife, it only took more than ten years to turn a small noodle stall into a restaurant in the entire Xiangyang City.

Such a way to reasonably accumulate wealth through hard work undoubtedly satisfies the moral aesthetics of ordinary people.

It's just that it opens early every day, and the three-story floor is always full of guests when the meal arrives, although there is no door closed today.

But Xiao Er stood at the door, whenever a guest came.

Always pointing to a sign at the door that reads 'The proprietor has something to do, closed for a day', with a smiling face and saying that he is not, Shengsheng pushed the guests out again.

In terms of Xiao Er's cognition, such a practice of his own family is completely taboo in business.

But there was no way, whoever told the owner to insist on doing so, no matter how much he persuaded him, he would not listen.

But what this junior didn't know was that today was the gathering period of Dong Fugui, Long Aotian and other four brothers, which was a ten-year agreement.

Compared to being able to have a drink with these friends in life and death, everything else doesn't seem to matter.

For this reason, Dong Fugui bought a large number of good ingredients and wine from the north and south, and today he personally cooked, planning to let Long Aotian and the other four taste their own craftsmanship.

It's just that from the end of the afternoon, Dong Fugui began to cook.

Until now, it seems to be getting dark.

On the table in the best private room on the third floor, after a table full of good wine and food, Long Aotian and the other four brothers have not yet seen it.

"Could it be that Brother Long and they forgot today's gathering, or maybe they didn't have time to come over because they were busy with military affairs?"

After looking towards the nearest city gate, he stretched his neck and looked over, and couldn't help muttering in Dong Fugui's mouth.

Man! I just can't stand the chatter.

The words in Dong Fugui's mouth did not fall completely, and Xiao Er's voice full of surprise sounded downstairs: "The owner, the owner, there are a few generals at the door, it should be that the guests you are waiting for have arrived." ”

After hearing this, he hurriedly rushed towards the first floor.

Dragging a broken wounded leg, the speed was better than that of a young man.

Soon after, I saw a few straight men standing at the door, neatly dressed in senior generals' uniforms and standing tall at the waist, all of whom were the golden age of men who were almost thirty years old.

Although ten years later, the former teenagers have also grown into good men who stand up to the sky, where is there still half a point of that youthful appearance.

But what other kind of people can these familiar faces be besides a few good brothers such as Long Aotian......

Under the strong sense of surprise, Dong Fugui stepped forward and hugged them one by one.

Then, he used his fist to beat Long Aotian's chest lightly and heavily, and when he noticed that something was wrong, he asked a sentence in his mouth:

"Hey, why don't you see the second Zhao Bashi?"

After hearing this, the faces of Long Aotian and the other three immediately became painful, and finally Li Killing God said with a depressed face:

"Five years ago, the second brother died in the Broken Leaf City in the Western Regions, that is, the place where Li Taibai was born.

In that battle, they were only more than 1,800 people, but they defeated the Western Regions Alliance army of more than 100,000 people head-on; The second brother died with hundreds of people in his hands, and it can be said that he made great contributions to the recovery of the Han and Tang dynasties in the entire Western Regions.

For this reason, Her Majesty the Empress issued a decree to commend and posthumously awarded the title of loyal general on the fourth grade; A manly man can be like this, and it is worth it. ”

After saying that, Xu was worried that Dong Fugui was too sad, and Long Aotian's mouth immediately said:

"Brother Dong, in order to eat your meal, we didn't even eat a bite of the morning meal, and now we are hungry, and we don't know what food to prepare for us."

After hearing such a sentence, Dong Fugui also knew that now was not the time to be sad; Hurriedly cheered up and led everyone to the third floor.

In the following time, the group of four just sat down and chatted, and began to eat and drink.

The content of the mouth is nothing more than some interesting things in the army over the years; and the children in the family in the future, whether they will go to study or practice martial arts.

After all, now Daxuan pays attention to military merits, and the status of Qiu Ba in the past is not low at all.

During the whole process, they deliberately did not mention the name of Zhao Bashi, the second child.

But it did not remove the dishes and chopsticks that were originally left to Zhao Bashi, that position; In the process of chatting, everyone also poured a little wine from time to time and sandwiched a dish with chopsticks.

It's as if the second child, Zhao Bashi, is still there to talk and laugh with them.

In a short time, in that empty bowl, it was filled with good food.

After the four of them had eaten almost, Dong Fugui suddenly looked at the appearance of the three people who had not changed much, but in terms of temperament, they were already three people who had been turned upside down.

With curiosity, the last sentence came out of his mouth:

"After so many years of fighting, I don't know what grade you are in our Daxuan, and now you are considered a high-ranking official of the imperial court?

I'll listen to them one by one, so that my old Dong knows that his brother is so promising, and he will be able to show off with the neighbors in the future. ”

That's right! Now the officials of the imperial court are no longer from the old Zhao family.

Nine years ago, Guo Xiang led the Xuange Battalion, which had been trained for a year, with a total of more than 19,000 people, known as 30,000 soldiers, and began the Northern Expedition.

Don't look at such a little soldier and horse, and the Mongolian people are known as hundreds of thousands of troops at every turn, which is a lot worse; There is a strong place in the Northland, and there are more people and horses than this.

But it's just such a mere 30,000 people, after two years of war.

The huge northern land, including the black mountain and white water outside the pass, these Han family hometowns have all been recovered, not to mention.

The soldiers also went to the grassland in four ways and taught the Mongolian people a hard lesson; Even according to the grapevine, they also followed the rules of the grassland and cut down all the Mongolian men who exceeded the wheels.

After the return of the first part of the army, because the Southern Song Dynasty court had made a joint effort with the Mongolian people to resist the Xuange camp, such a dirty thing that made the relatives painful and the enemies happy, went straight to the Lin'an Building.

The cities along the way were all descending from the wind, but in March, the entire Southern Song Dynasty was completely defeated.

Guo Xiang, the current commander of the Xuange camp at that time, ascended the throne and became the empress, with the country name Daxuan and the year name Hongwu.

The above are equivalent to some things that are basically known to people in the world today.

As soon as he heard this, without waiting for others to speak, Guan Jiuyu, the younger brother of the Guan family, just said proudly: "The eldest brother is now the Xuanwei General under the Western Regions Protectorate and the dignified four grades.

I heard that the imperial court immediately intends to let the eldest brother lead an army, and he will soon use troops in the land of Persia; As long as this battle is down, it will be a proper three-grade master.

The third brother is currently the captain of the third detachment of the Great Xuan Nanhai Naval Division.

Although they are currently focusing on training, looking at the investment of the imperial court over the years, the development of the naval division in the future will even be heavier than that of the army of the land division.

Soon after, he also had to use troops against the Japanese people, and the development was also excellent.

As for me, I'm the worst of the brothers, so I don't want to say it. ”

When the voice fell, Long Aotian's mouth laughed and scolded: "Brother Dong, Hugh heard this kid talking nonsense, although the land occupied by my Daxuan can be said to be unprecedentedly huge.

Even the Baicao Immortal, the good seeds cultivated by Bai Situ, make my Daxuan harvest more and more powerful year by year, and everyone can eat a full stomach.

But according to the Staff Division, there are still so many borderlands overseas; If we don't occupy it in advance, I'm afraid that future generations will point to the grave and scold.

Therefore, this kid's Marine Corps will be a key force to open up overseas for the future, and this kid is the one who has the most potential among our brothers. ”

After listening to the above statement, Dong Fugui picked up the wine in his hand.

said solemnly: "Very good, then my old Dong hopes to see the news of several brothers flying in the future Di newspaper."

This cup is a tribute to Her Majesty the Empress, wishing him a long life, and hoping to make this prosperous era last. ”

At such an offer, the other four all raised their glasses; Guo Xiang is only in his twenties now, but he is extremely virtuous and truly respected by his subjects all over the world.

After drinking, Dong Fugui raised his wine glass again, and said in his mouth:

"This cup of tribute to Hu Daxia, as well as the heroes of the Xuange Camp."

Saying! Although Hu Biao and others have been gone for ten years, whether it is the world or the rivers and lakes, they have never forgotten the founders of these Xuange camps.

Long Aotian and the others were late for a while, but they went to the tombs of the concubine, the singer, Huang Yizhi, Ah Li and others to sweep the tombs.

And every year during the Qingming Festival, not only Xiangyang people will go to worship, but their tombs are full of incense throughout the year.

So after hearing such a proposal, I thought that if it wasn't for Li San, a hero, to accept him, they would still be messing around in the rivers and lakes, dreaming all kinds of unrealistic dreams.

Long Aotian and a few others picked up their wine glasses again.

After two glasses in a row, Dong Fugui obviously had some wine, but he still picked up the wine glass again, and continued to say solemnly in his mouth:

"Brothers, Lao Dong wishes you a prosperous future in the future.

But the most important thing is that I hope that in the next ten years, and many more decades from now, when we meet here again, there will be no one missing. ”

"Yes! No one is missing. ”

Long Aotian, Li Killing God, and Guan Jiuyu all raised the cups in their hands, and their mouths all made such solemn promises......

******

Time: Ten years have passed, and it is time for the agreed party.

Location: In the brother restaurant next door that was also bought and built a new building, which is larger and more famous.

"Wang Fu, you don't have to wait at the door today, there is a silver dollar here; Closing the door and going where to have a good day of fun is also considered a day off. ”

After the last dish made by himself was served on the table, Dong Fugui, who was already a little hunched on his back, said.

After listening, looking at the table full of wine and food, but only one person from his own owner, Wang Fu, the little second Wang Fu who had followed Dong Fugui for more than ten years, originally wanted to say something in his mouth.

But in the end, he didn't say anything, took the silver yuan on the avatar that was said to be the hero of the concubine, and left.

What's that! Because the silver is inconvenient to carry, and the value will be different due to the fineness of the silver when used, the Finance Department of the Ministry of Daxuanhu launched this kind of silver yuan as early as three years ago.

Each piece of silver is equivalent to one tael of silver, and now it has long been used in the world, and it is said that even the white people in the far west are used as hard currency.

As for the avatar, why is it a concubine again? When you were this girl in Wudaoxia, was the work of the financial and logistics director done for nothing?

Now the Shangshu, the waiters, and the outsiders in the household department are all her original apprentices and grandchildren.

Therefore, it is simply reasonable to print the head of the first female god of wealth in the Xuange camp on silver yuan and more valuable gold coins.

As for today's wine and food, only Dong Fugui enjoyed it alone, and it was not an accident that happened to Long Aotian and the three of them.

But as early as a month ago, he received some letters that were sent to him after crossing the ocean.

The letters were sent by Long Aotian and the other three people, except for some of the situations in recent years.

All of them show that these are now high-ranking officials such as the governor of a place, or the commander of the fleet, who are too busy with official business to find time to come back.

As for Dong Fugui, as long as these brothers are okay and know that they are doing well.

Although there were some regrets in my heart, I was still quite happy for them.

In this way, although he knew that the three of them would not come, he still bought a table of good wine and food with his own hands, put five pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the table, and began to eat and drink.

More precisely, he was mainly drinking and did not eat a single dish.

Because for him, the best appetizer is the content of Long Aotian's letter.

For example: Long Aotian is already the governor of the Great Xuan Persian Military State, don't look at the complaint in the letter, after leaving the city, there is sand everywhere around him, and the woman is also used to covering her head with a cloth, and she doesn't know what she looks like.

In fact, he is already a big man who is in charge of thousands of miles of land and has tens of millions of people under his command.

And Li Killshen said in the letter that his letter was still dangling, and it was written on the boat that could shake people out of jaundice.

Because their next port call is Nanyinzhou, which is tens of thousands of miles away from Daxuan.

Here, the Yin people are also black-haired and yellow-haired, and according to the doctors of the Hanlin Academy, everyone is almost the same blood; Because of the arrival and reign of Daxuan, these Yin people behaved quite friendly.

Guan Jiuyu's words, the letter talked about an annoying thing.

It was as the governor of the South African military state, because he couldn't control his crotch, and after a night of fun with a Kunlun slave woman, he actually gave birth to a black male baby.

So much so that now, I don't know how to explain to my mother at home.

really wants to be known by the old mother of the family, even if he is already a second-class member of the imperial court, he can't avoid a kneeling in front of the ancestral tablet and being beaten with a stick.

So under his annoyance, he had already written to the court: he suggested that all Daxuan women should not have sex with Kunlun slaves, so as not to mess up the bloodline of planting flowers.

If there is a violator, the Daxuan woman will be three thousand miles away, and the Kunlun slave will be eunuch~

Even if it is this letter, Dong Fugui has read it several times; After seeing this, he still laughed out loud, and drank a large glass to his heart's content.

Even when his son got married, he was not so happy......

Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and in the blink of an eye, another ten years have passed, and it is already thirty years after Hu Biao and others left the mission world.

Dong Fugui, the man who wielded a flat shoulder and fought with the Mongolian people at the head of Xiangyang City, is now in his sixties.

Not only is he gray-haired, but he also walks with a cane.

And Long Aotian and the others are basically fifty-seven or eighteen years old, and they belong to a time when they are in high positions before retirement and their affairs are extremely busy.

It is precisely because of this that at this year's gathering, the two of them did not come.

That's right! It's two.

Because six years ago, Li Jishen, who was already the commander of the Atlantic Fleet at that time, encountered a big storm during a trip to sea.

Li Killing God sank into the sea water along with the flagship.

After seeing such bad news in the Di newspaper, Dong Fugui lay in bed for three days, and when he got out of bed, he was seven or eight years old.

Because of physical reasons, Dong Fugui, who was alone today, was drunk without drinking too much.

Before getting drunk, he muttered in his mouth: "God, I, Dong Fugui, haven't begged you all these years, I just want to let me live for another ten years."

and Long Aotian and Guan Jiuyu, these brothers, died again and again at the party......"

I don't know if it's Dong Fugui's prayer, whether it plays a certain role.

Another ten years later, the three white-haired old men finally sat together.

Even eight years ago, Dong Fugui's lady Cuiniang had already left first; The brother restaurant that the husband and wife have worked hard all their lives has now become someone else's Invitation Moon Building.

It was his unsuccessful son, addicted to gambling and losing to others.

Today's Dong Fugui has returned from that luxurious mansion to that small ancestral house.

But even so, he never wrote to Long Aotian, who was already a member of the imperial court at that time, and about Jiuyu; Even if the two of them arrange it casually, they can make it all good.

For Dong Fugui, who is already in his prime, it is good that his son can get a job at the train station and support his family.

After drinking the first glass of wine, the three old men all laughed.

In the following time, the three of them drank wine in small sips and talked about the latest interesting story: Her Majesty Empress Guo Xiang, who had reigned for more than 30 years, finally abdicated.

Empress Guo Xiang never married in her life, and succeeded her nephew, the eldest son of Guo Poyu.

According to rumors, this person seems to be a mediocre person.

But it doesn't matter, because on the day Her Majesty the Empress abdicated, there was such a sentence on the rivers and lakes, which is said to be the former arrangement of Xuange Ying Hu Daxia:

Martial Arts Supreme, Treasure Sword Slaying Dragon; Relying on the sky does not come out, who competes with each other.

What the three old men didn't know was that this dragon slaying knife and Yitian sword was really arranged by Hu Biao and others, and in their explanation, Guo Jing turned his Xuantie heavy sword into a sword and a sword.
