In the entire lobby of the inn, it was so quiet for a while that even the sound of a needle hitting the ground could be heard clearly.

The crowd gathered over there was dumbfounded for a while, and no one thought that this old man Song, who had always been known for his fierceness and ferocity, would actually kneel down to the little-known son?

It's really ridiculous!

Almost all of them made a different movement at one time - reached out and wiped their eyes.

However, the facts in front of them did not change in any way because of their suspicions, and the white-haired old man still knelt on one knee, facing Chen Mingye, without saying a word.

The strong man slapped his forehead, thinking that if Brother Song next to him woke up and saw his father kneeling down to that kid, he would probably be so angry that he would faint again.

Chen Mingye was also very shocked, he was very sure that he had never seen this old man, and he didn't know why the other party would suddenly give him such a big gift.

Xiaohong also seemed to be stunned on the side, biting half of the sweet jujube cake in her hand, and holding the remaining half in her mouth, she was very stupid.

Chen Mingye smiled bitterly, could this be the so-called overlord's qi leaking, a soldier who surrendered without a fight?

He shook his head to dispel the cranky thoughts that popped up in his mind, although the other party came to seek revenge, but at this moment, he couldn't ignore this big gift inexplicably, so he had to speak: "This lord, you better get up quickly, the kid has nothing to do with you." ”

The old man still clenched his fists and bowed his head and half-knelt on the ground, without saying a word.

Chen Mingye sighed, so he had to take a step forward and make a gesture to help the other party up. In fact, he was still a little defensive in his heart, only worried that with the depth of the other party's city, he was afraid that he would launch a surprise attack in this way, and if he didn't take precautions, he might find his way.

Who knew that Chen Mingye's hand was stretched out in front of the old man, and the other party still didn't move.

Chen Mingye took a deep breath, and then firmly grasped the other party's hand and helped him up.

The white-haired old man looked at the young man in front of him, his hands trembled slightly, and after a while, he took a deep breath before saying, "Childe, do you have time to talk?"

Although Chen Mingye was a little inexplicable, it was difficult to refuse, so he had to nod.

The old man was overjoyed, turned his head and glanced at the people who were still looking at the people here, and waved his big hand: "Get out of Lao Tzu, look at the flatulence here." ”

At the sound of an order, the crowd that had been gathered suddenly turned into birds and beasts and dispersed. The crowd of people watching the inn were also taken aback by the old man's momentum, and they all cowered and hid in the dark, and the bold dared to come out again and take a few glances.

"Your Excellency, please take a seat. Seeing this, Chen Mingye made a gesture of invitation to the old man opposite.

The old man nodded, and sat down directly without politeness, but his eyes always fell on Chen Mingye's face.

When Chen Mingye felt strange, he saw that the old man actually dipped his hand in tea and wrote and drew on the table.

Xiaohong watched the old man's movements with wide eyes wide on the side, full of curiosity.

Chen Mingye only glanced at it, and his brows were slightly locked, and after thinking about it, he gradually relaxed.

The old man sketched very carefully, although his hands were still a little trembling, but when he fell, he was extremely firm. After a while, the old man finished sketching the pattern, then raised his head and looked at Chen Mingye with eyes full of expectation: "Can the son recognize this pattern?"

Chen Mingye took a deep breath and nodded: "This is my Chen family seal." ”

When this faint sentence came out, the old man heard it in his ears, and tears welled up in an instant.

Chen Mingye was startled, and there was a vague guess in his heart: "Could it be that you were also a soldier of the Chen family?"

The old man did not hesitate to clench his fists and leave his seat to salute, Chen Mingye hurriedly pressed his hand: "You just sit and talk." ”

The old man was helpless, so he gave up and said: "Song Zhongkai, the last cavalry of the Yulong Battalion under the Shangzhu Guoqi Guogong Chen Zishuai, has seen the little grandfather. ”

Chen Mingye was speechless for a while, but instead he hugged his fist and saluted the old man: "Boy Chen Mingye, I have seen Uncle Song." ”

"Little grandfather, don't shout like this, Lao Song is the last pawn, you say that, how can Lao Song stand it. Song Zhongkai wiped away the tears on his face, "I'm old, I'm old, and I'm old and crying, so that the little grandfather can see the joke." ”

Chen Mingye shook his head: "Uncle Song, don't shout like that, the kid is now a cloth cloth, how can he say what kind of little grandfather." ”

Song Zhongkai said firmly: "No matter what happens to the Chen family, in the hearts of our brothers in the Yulongying Camp and all the brothers under the Chen family, the Chen family will always be the Qiguo Mansion that is powerful in the world, and this name will be in our hearts for a lifetime!"

Chen Mingye sighed, and didn't want to say anything more about it, but said a little strangely: "Uncle Song, how did you recognize me?"

"I don't know, I just feel that I have a strange feeling in my heart when I see the little grandfather, so I rashly asked the surname of the little grandfather, and I hope I don't blame it. Song Zhongkai replied seriously.

Chen Mingye shook his head and said with a smile: "Uncle Song, it's okay for you to call me tomorrow night, now I am still guilty, and it is inconvenient to call the little grandfather." ”

Song Zhongkai nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll call you a night brother." ”

"Uncle Song, I remember that most of the Yulong Camp are from Beizhou, why do you stay in this Jingchu land?" Chen Mingye nodded, stretched out his hand and handed him a piece of pastry, Song Zhongkai hurriedly reached out and took it.

"Brother Ye'er, you should know about General Chen leading the army to attack Nanchu back then. Song Zhongkai held the pastry in the palm of his hand, looked at Chen Mingye and said with a serious face.

"Naturally, I know that the battle of Changwu City is famous in history, and in this battle, your fish and dragon battalion is the first to make the merit. Chen Mingye nodded, looking at the mediocre-looking old man opposite, but his eyes were full of respect.

Without him, this veteran deserves his merits and is worthy of the title of the First Pioneer Battalion under Chen Jiashuai.

Song Zhongping did not deny it, but nodded, and said seriously word by word: "The eight hundred and forty-one people of the Yulong Battalion attacked the city as the vanguard, and only 100 people survived in the end. ”

Chen Mingye was moved.

No matter how much you read in the history books, how can you hear it with your own ears and see it with your own eyes.

"At that time, after retreating from the front line, none of the few brothers left in the Fish Dragon Battalion were intact," Song Zhongping raised his head and took a breath before he said slowly, "Those brothers of mine didn't want to be wounded soldiers and drag everyone back, so they simply settled here." ”

Chen Mingye was shocked when he heard this: "Could it be that all the people in this town are the descendants of the Fish Dragon Battalion? Impossible, how could my father's class teacher not bring you with him when he returned to the court?"

Song Zhongping shook his head and sighed: "Brother Ye'er, it's all in the past, don't talk about it, you can know that we are already satisfied." ”

Chen Mingye's eyes were firm, and he asked: "Uncle Song, you say, what happened, the fish dragon camp can't stand a little more grievances, I, Chen Mingye, don't agree." ”

Song Zhongping smiled: "There are no grievances, we are all voluntary, there is Brother Ye, your words, it's worth it." ”

Chen Mingye was stunned for a moment.

How could he not hear the implication of the words? Could it be that at that time, grandpa would already have such a day, and he had been laying out since that time?

"Brother Ye'er, I'm really happy to see you today. Song Zhongping looked at him and smiled heartily, "It's just that the situation is special, I'm afraid I can't ask my old guys to come over to see you together." ”

Chen Mingye sighed: "Uncle Song, my Chen family, I owe you too much. ”

"What's the debt, in the hearts of us old soldiers, the Chen family is our own home," Song Zhongping stretched out his hand, wiped his face quickly, and laughed, "Brother Ye, you said that the wind on the table by the window is also strong, and I am blinded." ”

Chen Mingye looked at the pair of old palms covering his face, and gritted his teeth silently.

"Can you tell me, a half-old man, about your next steps?" Song Zhongping asked.

"Kyoto. Chen Mingye spit out two words.

"Do you want to go back now?" Song Zhongping's face showed hesitation, "Brother Ye, it's not the right time yet." ”

Chen Mingye heard his words and sighed: "Don't worry, I'll go alone, but there are some things that some people want to see." ”

Song Zhongping gritted his teeth: "I'm willing to go with the old man." ”

Chen Mingye shook his head: "Uncle Song, I understand your kindness, don't worry, I went to Kyoto this time, just to watch the ceremony, and I have no other intentions." ”

Song Zhongping was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Except for the Fish Dragon Camp, did my grandfather still keep his hand back then?" Chen Mingye squinted his eyes and asked.

Song Zhongping hesitated slightly: "If Brother Ye wants to ask, Old Song can indeed nod." ”

"That's it," Chen Mingye waved his hand, slightly convinced of the guess in his heart, he sighed and said, "This time it's really fate, I actually ran into you by mistake." ”

Song Zhongping smiled, but didn't say anything.

When Chen Mingye saw his expression, he was shocked, and a guess came to his mind: "This can't be all deliberately arranged by you, right?"

"Hahaha, Brother Ye is really smart. Song Zhongping clapped his hands lightly and said with a smile, "Those stinky boys are idle on weekdays anyway, and they just arranged some errands for them to play." ”

Chen Mingye couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, no wonder Yi Rong couldn't escape, no wonder he beat one person and another person, it turned out to be an interlocking test.

"The fish and dragon camp is old and strong, brave and strategic, which is admirable. Chen Mingye sighed.

"Brother Miao, I really let those old guys hear it, and their tails are not yet up to the sky," Song Zhongping said with a smile, but his face was also a little colorful.

Chen Mingye was slightly puzzled: "It's just that the brothers seem to be a little weaker." ”

"Hey," Song Zhongping touched his head, and said with a little embarrassment on his face, "It's a shame to say, it's also that a few of our old guys have no way to teach their children, and they are too used to them. ”

Chen Mingye's face was solemn: "Uncle Song, since you said that the Yulong Camp is a family of the Chen family, I will not be polite if you say something." ”

Song Zhongping sighed: "Brother Ye'er, say it." ”

"I'm very happy that the team of the Fish Dragon Camp is here, but if there is no successor, wouldn't it be a pity!" Chen Mingye looked at Song Zhongping, his face full of sincerity, "The godson needs to be strict, my name back then, I want to come to Uncle Song also knows, everyone calls it 'Kyoto's No. 1 gentleman', and it is all because of the family's laissez-faire, now that I think about it, I am afraid that the one today is because of this reason, so he let me live." ”

Song Zhongping shook his head: "Brother Ye is too humble, the first time I saw him today, I knew that Brother Ye'er's foundation was by no means simple, those of us who were not angry, and the little benefit of Brother Ye was enough for our brothers to be proud for a lifetime." ”

"Hey, you are so permissive, I guess you all learned from your grandfather's temperament back then," Chen Mingye sighed, "His old man's temper is the first, and in addition to that, he loves the short, I did a lot of ridiculous things back then, and my grandfather covered it up for me." ”

Song Zhongkai touched his head and smiled: "General Chen, he is a hero in the world, and he has done well enough, my brothers are all thinking of the scene of Changwu City charging to the city with General Chen himself, just that time, it is enough to blow for a lifetime." ”

Chen Mingye was helpless, estimating that these old soldiers regarded their grandfather as a god in the sky in their hearts, this is what he could say, if others were talking nonsense, I am afraid that he would have slapped him a long time ago.

Chen Mingye thought about it for a while, and suddenly shouted: "Little Er, serve the wine!"

The shopkeeper, who had been hiding on the side for a long time and watching silently for a long time, heard that he was shouting to himself, so he immediately rushed here with a few cans of wine, for fear of taking a step behind.

Song Zhongping smiled: "Why is Brother Ye suddenly going to drink?"

"I should have given you a few glasses, and I should have given you several large glasses. Chen Mingye reached out and took the wine jug handed by Xiao Er, took the cup, and poured a full glass for Song Zhongping.

Song Zhongping stretched out his hand to take the full wine, and his hands trembled slightly.

Chen Mingye stood up, filled himself with it, and then raised his glass high and bowed to the old man in a short shirt who had not yet reacted: "Uncle Song, I respect you for this first cup, which is to fight bravely for the world to return to Ningning." ”

Song Zhongping's tears burst out again.

Chen Mingye drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, poured it again, and bowed upright again: "I salute you for this second cup, which is to honor all the brothers in the fish and dragon camp, may the living enjoy their old age in this life, and may the heirs of the deceased continue to prosper." ”

Song Zhongping trembled his hands and trembled his eyes, but he only said the word "good".

Chen Mingye raised his head, swallowed a full cup of liquor into his stomach, stretched out his hand and poured another full glass, still bowing down: "I salute you for this third cup, which is to respect you for the magnificent and fierce in this life, and I respect you for enjoying a worry-free life of health in the future, and I am willing to sit at the same table with the children of the Chen family today, and fight for a lifetime, without regrets." ”

Song Zhongping looked at the young junior in front of him, and suddenly laughed loudly, laughing so loudly that he shook the sky, laughed so much that he burst into tears, laughing as if he wanted to spit out the depression and sorrow of the past few decades, and laughed like he had returned to the appearance of his prime, wearing heavy armor, stepping on a horse, and killing the enemy with his eyes on it.

Life should be the most proud, and at this moment it is finally proud.

Chen Mingye drank all the wine in the cup, silently looked at the old man opposite, and put down the cup.

So, everyone in the inn today has seen such a strange scene, a scene that will be unforgettable for many years.

As soon as he entered the door of the inn, the fierce old man, who had long been known in the town, saluted on one knee without saying a word to the young man who did not know his origin, and soon after, the young man respectfully saluted the old man with three glasses.

A salute for a salute.

Chen Mingye smiled lightly.

The Yulong Camp has never forgotten Chen Zishuaiqi, and the Chen family has never forgotten these old pawns, these family members who have not yet returned to their hometowns.
