Chapter 1555: Toast
As the saying goes, the soft are afraid of the hard, and the hard are afraid of the dead, but even the one who does not want to die does not want to provoke madmen.
In the face of Luo Chong's intimidation, Wang Baihu couldn't do it without worry, in case, he really drove him crazy and used a knife on himself, how could it be good.
In the past few days, Wang Baihu inquired again, any of the Qingyuan generals that Luo Dong killed on the battlefield were stronger than his own martial arts, and besides, on the battlefield full of swords and guns, the difficulty of killing the enemy generals was so immeasurable.
To put it bluntly, if he uses a knife on himself, I'm afraid his life will really be lost.
"Don't shoot yourself in the foot!"
At this moment, Wang Baihu finally realized that we people probably underestimated Luo Dong's audacity, and it was much more difficult for him to grasp the scale and master the heat than originally thought.
As a military general, Wang Baihu knows how powerful it is, but the other squires don't have much concept in this aspect, they just simply think that in the presence of the commander and the commander of Master Liu, Luo Dong is not only embarrassed, what does he dare to do!
"Lord Liu has arrived......"
At the arched gate on the east side of the garden, a middle-aged man in civilian clothes walked in, accompanied by the mayor, followed by several women, ranging in age, young and old.
"I've seen Lord Liu!"
The officials of Guangling Town saluted together, but Luo Chong was the only one standing on the other side of the pond, who happened to be covered by a low tree, even if he didn't bow down, he wouldn't be directly seen by Lord Liu.
Of course, this position had been chosen a long time ago, and when they got up, Luo Chong took Xiu'er to blend into the crowd.
"You are welcome, all of you, to be seated. ”
Lord Liu's face was full of harmony, and he beckoned and said, "This is just a family banquet held by Mayor Han on my behalf, not a formal occasion, we can all be casual." ”
A hypocritical flattering laugh rang out, and everyone picked their seats and took their seats, and there were more than a dozen square tables in the courtyard, and almost two families could sit at the same table.
Lord Liu's family of three, accompanied by the mayor's family of three, sat at the chairman, which was a slightly larger round table.
The eldest young master, Han Yu, was also there, with gauze wrapped around his neck, deliberately revealing it, he must have complained to Lord Liu about this a long time ago, and he had complained.
At least get a preconceived idea, so that Lord Liu's first impression of that Luo Baihu will not be very good.
Lord Liu's wife is in her thirties, looking at her face, she feels dignified and virtuous, and their daughter is only sixteen or seventeen years old.
The daughter of the Liu family has a sweet appearance, a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, an elegant posture, quite reserved, and very educated at first glance.
Needless to say, the tediousness at the beginning of the banquet is over, and after a few glasses of wine, you can talk about the main topic.
During this period, Luo Chong didn't have any special moves, just sat in an inconspicuous position with Luo Xiu'er, and no one sat at this table, and those guys definitely didn't dare to sit with him.
"After lunch, I went to see Zhao Qianhu......"
Every time Lord Liu spoke, the whole garden would be quiet: "Personally, I feel that the situation is not very good, and I have been in a coma for a few days, and the whole person has lost a lot of weight...... The point is that several famous local doctors are helpless about it, which can be called an extremely rare and strange disease. ”
After a pause, he continued: "I have a very good personal relationship with Zhao Qianhu, and I am very worried about this...... However, private relations are private friends, and official affairs have to be done publicly, and Guangling Town still has to prepare for the worst. ”
"yes, yes......"
Everyone nodded their heads one after another, expressing great sorrow for such a good leader...... Even though they are still panting.
Next, Lord Liu talked about the most critical part: "Everyone, I can reveal in advance that there have been wars for many years, and there are too many generals in the army, and the commander means that there is no way to transfer other thousand households to sit here, what are the thousands of households in Guangling Town......?"
Speaking of this, he paused deliberately, except for Luo Chong, the other six local hundred households all puffed up their chests and straightened their necks.
"It's going to be promoted from the local 100 households, and there is no way to do it. ”
Lord Liu said this in a heavy tone, but he smiled in a blink of an eye: "Of course, it is good news for the seven hundred households of Guangling. ”
Everyone laughed and said yes again and again. Poor Zhao Qianhu is still in the mansion a hundred meters away, of course, who is the culprit, only Luo Chong's heart is clear.
The next process, there is no need to talk about it in detail, anyway, Lord Liu said that the commander made the adult busy with official business, in charge of more than a dozen health posts, and he didn't care about Guangling Town, one of them, spending energy to inspect the officials, and this matter was basically what he, the commander, said.
So, everyone led by Wang Baihu went to toast one after another, and Lord Liu didn't drink much, just dipping the cup every time.
Only Luo Chong didn't go over, Luo Xiu'er was still a little anxious, and couldn't help but remind in a whisper: "Even if it is not your turn to be in the position of a thousand households, you should go over and show due respect." ”
This kind of thing was repeatedly told by Luo's mother before going out, that is, to let Luo Xiuer take a good look at her son and not let him make trouble.
"I will only kill, not toast. ”
Luo Chong replied lightly: "Don't say that he is a commander and a fellow knower, even if the emperor is ......."
Before the rest of the words could be spoken, Luo Xiu'er, who was frightened and discolored, covered her mouth stiffly.
Damn!
Luo Xiuer is afraid that he is right, but she is even more afraid that he will cause trouble for no reason. If you are disrespectful to the emperor, you will be ruined!
Fortunately, the sound was not loud, and the people around were paying attention to Lord Liu's table, so no one should have heard it.
Over there, Lord Liu was also puzzled, glanced around, and asked, "Isn't it seven hundred households, if I am not mistaken, it seems that I only saw six." ”
Mayor Han was secretly happy in his heart: Luo Dong, you kid is really cooperative, you don't need our tricks, you can't even toast yourself!
He whispered in Lord Liu's ear: "My lord is not wrong, and the unruly Luo Baihu has never come to toast you." ”
"Oh......"
Lord Liu nodded slowly, although he didn't say anything more, his eyes flashed with anger.
That kid is clearly looking down on no one, and he looks down on me, the commander of the four grades, right?
Mrs. Liu knows her husband too well, and she has a gentle temperament and kindly reminded: "I heard that the child is not yet twenty years old, and he was born in the lowest military household, so he probably doesn't know these things at all, or he has some inferiority complex and doesn't dare to go forward, right?"
Miss Liu was also curious: "I heard that he is very capable of fighting, has he killed many Qingyuan generals on the battlefield?"
Lord Liu thought for a moment, then raised his voice and asked, "I'm curious, which one is Luo Baihu who made military merits in the Battle of Hongyu? Why haven't you seen it?"
Everyone turned their heads together, and their eyes converged on Luo Chong's table. Chen Baihu, who was closer, was still giving Luo Chong a look and reminding him not to be too stupid.
"Subordinates are!"
Luo Chong stood up and bowed to Lord Liu.
Earlier, those people had already bowed in their place, and now it was a cordial exchange between the banquets, and it was not disrespectful to bow their hands.
"I'm tired of Luo Baihu coming over, it's too dark, and Liu's eyes are not very good. ”
Lord Liu smiled, and his expression and tone were quite polite.
Luo Chong eats this set, as long as people are polite to themselves, then it is easy to say.
Holding a wine glass, he walked over quickly.
"Lord Liu, my subordinates will give you a cup, and do it first. ”
With a of his neck, a glass of wine dried up.
"Good, good. ”
The original annoyance in Lord Liu's heart dissipated a lot, and he felt that his wife might be right, a young man like Luo Chong came from a humble background, and he probably didn't understand this in officialdom at all.
Most of the soldiers were rude, and he was brought up by real military exploits, and the time was too short, and no one had ever taught them.
In addition, this young man's appearance can be said to be dignified, his posture is upright, he is very powerful, and he has a special temperament that is difficult to describe, and at first glance, it will not make people feel disgusted.
If you are born with a good skin, you will always get some light.
Miss Liu, who was sitting on the side, was also looking at him with curiosity, feeling that he was not at all like the rumored battlefield generals, and he had more heroic temperament than Reading Lang, how could he kill so many enemy heads on the battlefield?
I thought he was the kind of guy with five big and three thick faces......
At this time, Mayor Han quietly gave a certain steward at the next table a look, although the guy was also a little afraid of Luo Maniac, but the mayor had an order, he could only stand up and raise his voice: "Luo Baihu, you are not right, Wang Baihu They have already come over to toast, but you, you have to wait until Lord Liu personally names you, this is not very good?"
"Hmm. ”
Luo Chong didn't look at him, nodded and said, "What do you think should happen?"
At the banquet, the steward couldn't say anything else, so he could only laugh dryly and say, "I don't think one cup is good, at least three glasses should be punished." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, three cups of self-punishment, at the very least. ”
Several squires around him also echoed one after another, and finally found an opportunity to lose the face of that kid.
"The more you drink, the more you show sincerity?"
Luo Chong frowned slightly and asked deliberately.
"That's pretty much it. I don't know who replied in a loud voice from behind.
"Here's a jar!"
Luo Chong stretched out his hand: "A jar of wine, there are no three hundred cups, it's about the same, right?"
Everyone was stunned, and said that this guy is worthy of the name of a madman, and he likes forums when he drinks, which is too exaggerated.
The wine that entertained Lord Liu was definitely not those fake and inferior wines mixed with water, the degree was quite high, the wine was very strong, no one dared to drink it with a bowl, and a small porcelain cup was enough to show pride.
This guy is going to kill an altar?
"No need, no need. ”
Lord Liu was even more sure that this was a rude and straightforward person, and it was really not interesting to play with this kind of person, so he waved his hand and smiled: "I have always been casual about drinking, and I never force others, nor do I like to be forced." Luo Baihu is so proud, he can even make three glasses. ”
"Three glasses, then. ”
Luo Chong nodded and smiled, he didn't intend to pretend to be forced in this kind of thing, he felt that the commander in front of him was not annoying, and there was no need to embarrass him.
Lord Liu has said this, and others don't have the courage to coax them, and the attempt to 'kill Luo Dong' is too obvious.
So, Luo Chong drank three cups in a row, and just explained the so-called disrespect to Lord Liu, not to mention what Lord Liu thought in his heart, but Mayor Han and the others were secretly regretting: Lord Liu has a lot, and he is too easy to talk, but unfortunately, an opportunity to clean up this kid was so missed.
It's okay, the banquet isn't over yet, there's still a chance to do it!
