Liang Cheng originally expected that someone would come to greet him, and he originally thought that the person who came would either be Yu Zishan, or Feng Ruoyu, or both of them, but he didn't expect that the king of Liaohe County would come in person, and he would bring many subordinates to greet him.

Because after Huyan Ruochen was crowned the king of Liaohe County, his status was completely different from before, and he was also in charge of the household department, which can be described as a monstrous power.

It seems that he led the army to resist the Sea Clan in Wanghai City and planted a tree on land and sea, which was recognized by the imperial court as a great achievement, so that even the king of Liaohe County, who brought the sponsor, would be greatly rewarded, so he would come to greet him like this.

Although he won this honor, Liang Cheng couldn't be happy in his heart, and when he thought that so many people in Wanghai City had died because of this battle, he felt a little panicked in his heart.

However, Liang Cheng didn't allow Liang Cheng to think too much, and the king of Liaohe County personally pulled him on the wide and luxurious beast car, and swaggered through the city under the support of a group of entourage, and in less than a stick of incense, he came to the bottom of the Qixian Tower.

Liang Cheng and the King of Liaohe County got off the beast cart together, but this time they did not go upstairs, but walked into the hall on the first floor of the Qixian Building hand in hand.

After entering the hall, Liang Cheng found that the hall on the first floor of the Qixian Building was much more spacious than the upstairs, and the decoration was also different from the upstairs.

In this lavishly decorated hall, two tables had already been set up, the first table was extremely luxuriously arranged, the other was relatively simple, the chief was obviously an important person, and the other table was the accompanying officials of the household department below.

Hu Yan Ruochen took Liang Cheng's hand and brought him to the chief man's seat, and after taking his seat first, he motioned for Liang Cheng to sit next to him.

Then everyone sat down, Liang Cheng raised his eyes and found that the chief was at a large table, and there were five people sitting in Liaohe County, Shi Qingquan, Yu Zishan and Feng Ruoyu, and Liang Cheng himself.

Once seated, the people began to present all kinds of sumptuous delicacies at the price of water, and arranged two full tables, at this time the sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and more than a dozen dancers in wide-sleeved neon shirts danced with the music, and for a time the light singing and dancing filled the hall, and the atmosphere became very cheerful.

Feng Ruoyu raised the wine cup and said loudly: "Senior Brother Liang, you have made a great contribution to the imperial court and the king of Liaohe County this time, and this credit is really a miracle! Let my old Feng arrogant, before the county king speaks, I will first salute you for this bar, come! My old Feng will do it first!"

As he spoke, Feng Ruoyu tilted his neck and dried the wine cup full of wine in his hand.

"Hahaha! That's right, Lord Liang, the lord of Wanghai City, is really meritorious this time!"

"Yes, yes, it's really young and promising, or thanks to the good knowledge of the king of Liaohe County, he recommended Lord Liang to the imperial court, this is the most important, hahaha, Maxima is often there, but Bole is not often!"

With Feng Ruoyu's toast, the officials at the next table opened their mouths to praise, and the atmosphere was lively.

Liang Cheng picked up the wine cup in front of him, but there was something wrong in his heart, and he suddenly felt that he was out of place with these people around him, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Looking at the red grape wine in the glass wine cup, Liang Cheng's mind flashed to Wanghai City

The blood-stained street scene, the glass of wine seems to also exude a bloody smell, which makes people feel indescribably uncomfortable.

Liang Cheng slowly put down the wine cup, shook his head and said: "Senior Brother Feng said the great merit, I dare not take it seriously, this time Wanghai City suffered heavy casualties, and almost half of the people in the city died because of it, this wine ...... I can't drink it. ”

Although Liang Cheng's voice was not loud, it seemed to be an inopportune small stone thrown into the noisy pond with frogs, and suddenly all around quieted, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

"Hahaha! Modest! Senior brother, you are humble. Feng Ruoyu saw that the scene was cold, the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing, and he hurriedly said: "Since ancient times, a general will succeed in ten thousand bones, although Wanghai City has paid a few casualties, but the Great Xuan Kingdom has also opened up a huge territory of thousands of miles, I think this is very worthwhile, this business is done! Hahaha!"

"Yes, yes, those who deal with big things are not informal, Lord Feng is reasonable. ”

"Well, okay, give up the small and go big, for the big Xuanguo, it's earned!hahaha!"

The officials below hurriedly followed Feng Ruoyu's words, and the voices were buzzing, and the cheerful atmosphere was almost coming back.

Liang Cheng noticed that because he was in the wrong mood, the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, and he also regretted it, and he wanted to make up for it, so as not to look bad in public.

Originally, Liang Cheng planned to follow Feng Ruoyu's words and pick up a few good words to round the scene, but when he suddenly heard Feng Ruoyu's words "This business is done", he suddenly rushed up in anger, and he couldn't hold it back all of a sudden.

Liang Cheng suddenly stretched out his palm and slapped it on the table, with a loud "pop", like the effect of shocking the wood, and the atmosphere of the whole hall gradually becoming lively was suddenly interrupted again, and it became silent, and even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard.

Liang Cheng said angrily: "Senior Brother Feng, this is a million lives!

"Uh, this ......" Feng Ruoyu was very embarrassed with the wine cup, and he couldn't get off the stage for a while.

Yu Zishan was on the side, his eyes looked at the king of Liaohe County, and then at Liang Cheng, and the expression on his face was also a little embarrassed.

Shi Qingquan, who was sitting on the other side of the King of Liaohe, didn't know what to say, although the number of people present was the highest in his cultivation, but Shi Qingquan knew that with his own identity, it was inappropriate to say anything now, so he simply kept silent.

A trace of imperceptible anger flashed across the face of Huyan Ruochen, the king of Liaohe County, but then his face softened again, and then he picked up the wine cup and looked at Liang Cheng.

"Senior Brother Liang is right, my Great Xuanguo should not forget those victims who were loyal to the country, come, everyone! This wine is to pay tribute to those victims in Haicheng. ”

After speaking, Huyan Ruochen took the lead in drying the wine cup in his hand.

"Yes, yes, you shouldn't forget the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country! Everyone drink this cup and salute them!"

"Yes, yes, yes......"

A group of officials hurriedly raised their glasses and drank together, Liang Cheng's five senses were so keen, he had already noticed that Hu Yan Ruochen was unhappy in his heart, as a subordinate, it was not easy to refute the lord's face, so he had no choice but to say a word, and slowly drank the wine cup in his hand, this mellow wine, for some reason, became so bitter!

Gradually, the atmosphere in the seat began to be lively again, but everyone found that the young city lord of Wanghai City seemed to be a little ignorant, so they didn't pay attention to it anymore

will meet him, and the words will begin to stammering the king of Liaohe County.

Huyan Ruochen, the king of Liaohe County, got up and walked to the other side of the table while talking to these subordinates, and between intentional or unintentional, he was getting farther and farther away from Liang Cheng, Shi Qingquan silently glanced at Liang Cheng, stood up quietly, and followed the king of Liaohe County.

Liang Cheng sat there and seemed to be in his mind, but he had already seen all this in his eyes, but he didn't take it to heart, thinking that it was a common thing to become inflammatory, and there was nothing strange about it.

As long as you don't care, these small actions can't hurt yourself, the so-called "don't ask for good favors everywhere, don't drink and let the price of his wine be high", don't have too high expectations for others, and you won't have too much disappointment.

But it was said that the King of Liaohe County, who was held up to the sky by a group of subordinates, was very lively, and the uproar was full of laughter and flattery, although His Royal Highness himself was humble, but the mood was obviously gradually becoming happy.

The officials of the household department toasted back and forth, the more they talked, the more enthusiastic they became, they all praised the king of Liaohe County for his good work, and the more he said, the more outrageous it became, and in the end, in the mouth of the people, it seemed that Huyan Ruochen, the king of Liaohe County, was the great hero of the battle of Wanghai City, and said that it was like the credit for the opening of the country and the expansion of thousands of miles, all of which should be attributed to him.

Liang Cheng watched all this from a distance, a sense of absurdity in his heart, and he was also a little surprised by his previous violent reaction, this feeling of discovering that everything that was once familiar had become very strange was really disturbing.

Seeing Liang Cheng like this, Yu Zishan hurriedly came over and talked to him without a pair, which made Liang Cheng feel a little better, after all, there was a friend who cared about him beside him, and he was no longer as lonely as before.

Although Liang Cheng was also casually talking about some trivial matters with Yu Zishan, his heart was no longer here, and his thoughts fluctuated in his head, thinking about some people and things that had gradually disappeared.

Suddenly, Liang Cheng remembered that his two brothers Li Zilong and Zhao Desheng, who were guarding in Anxi Pass and had experienced life and death there, remembered that when they met last time, Liang Cheng always felt that their personalities had changed a lot compared with before, and there seemed to be more estrangement and indifference, Liang Cheng used to be very puzzled by this, and now he seems to have found the answer.

It turns out that people who have experienced battlefield battles and life and death tribulations will become completely different from before, and even if they return to the familiar environment before, they will seem out of place with everyone.

This is because the previous state of mind has long been lost in the bloody battlefield and can never be recovered. The current heart has gone through too much blood and fire, and it can't go back to the past no matter what.

"Zishan, Zishan, you come!" suddenly called Yan Ruochen from afar, and greeted Zishan from afar.

Yu Zishan had no choice but to say apologetically to Liang Cheng: "Brother Cheng, I'll come when I go." ”

After speaking, Yu Zishan stood up and walked over.

Huyan Ruochen pulled Yu Zishan and said to a purple-robed official: "Come, let me introduce you to you, this is ......"

Liang Cheng had already seen that His Royal Highness the King of Liaohe County was obviously a little dissatisfied with him today, and this was to deliberately dry himself, but he didn't care about it in his heart, because he was already disgusted with the officialdom of the Great Xuanguo, and felt that this kind of life was not what he wanted.

Liang Cheng thought to himself that maybe it was time for him to be quiet.
