Chapter 516: The Party
Standing outside the tent and waiting, a few bearded people suddenly heard a sentence from inside, "Come on, pull me out and behead me!"
What can I do?
The beard was sweating anxiously, if he went in with his subordinates now, then Lord Chen would definitely die. If you don't go in, it should be considered as resisting the decree, and you will also be killed.
Lan Ting would not have thought that his unintentional words would make people outside hesitate so much.
Several of the bearded subordinates also turned their heads to look at the adult, thinking similar to him.
They weren't sure what to do, so they had to wait for the beard to give orders. But I'm not sure I can get the beard!
These people were like ants on a hot pot, looking at the tent, suddenly the curtain was raised, and Lord Chen walked out.
As soon as he saw Lord Chen, he thought that he had come out to die, but Lord Chen was still followed by Lan Ting, and his father-in-law still had a smile on his face, and then Niangniang walked out with the emperor in her arms.
What's going on?
His cheeks were clouded, and he suddenly heard Lan Ting say: "Don't you kneel when you see the emperor and the mother?"
A word woke up the beard, he hurriedly gave his subordinates a look, and everyone greeted the emperor together.
As a result, Qi Chu and Xu Jinyu didn't look at them and walked away. Lord Chen and Lan Ting followed behind, and they didn't dare to get up if they didn't hear the words like flattening.
After the four of them had taken a dozen steps, Lan Ting turned around and gave them a flat gesture. It took a few people to dare to get up, and hurriedly ran over to keep up, and then asked Master Chen in a low voice, "My lord, what happened inside just now?"
"It's nothing. Master Chen pretended not to know what he meant.
The beard was stunned for a moment, and then asked Lan Ting with a smile: "Father-in-law, who were you going to kill just now?"
Lan Ting also pretended not to understand, "Who are you chopping? Are you hallucinating?"
"I'm hallucinating?" said the beard pointing to his nose, "Just now someone inside obviously said that they pulled it out and cut it off for me." ”
Lan Ting shook his head and said, "If you're either hallucinating, or you have a problem with your brain." Just now, Lord Chen was reporting the military situation to the emperor, and I have never heard anyone say that all the time. ”
"That's not right, I heard that. The beard muttered.
Lan Ting smiled: "I think you're just tired of being crooked, why don't you look at your head for a while?"
"Well, don't come on, it's not fun. The beard touched his neck, and when he thought of the executioner's knife, he felt a cool breeze on his neck.
In fact, when Lan Ting said the wrong thing just now, Lord Chen was also surprised. Fortunately, Qi Chu reacted quickly and thought of a way, that is, not to delay the time and wait for people to come in, they can go out first so that the embarrassment can be resolved.
If someone really came in and arrested Lord Chen, it would be too late. Although he doesn't believe that he is hallucinating or having a problem with his head, he is still very happy that Lord Chen has picked up a life.
Lord Chen took Qi Chu to inspect the barracks, and of course both of them were pretending. One pretends to be the emperor, and the other pretends not to know that the one around him is the fake emperor. After a circle, what Lord Chen said was true.
The destructive power of the tsunami was so great that Penglai Water City was almost destroyed, and even if there was no attack and burning of the barracks by the Japanese invaders, it would have to be rebuilt now. And the amount of silver required for this reconstruction is too much, and it seems that we can only pray to the heavens that the court can allocate more silver.
Qi Chu told him not to worry, Penglai is a military fortress, no matter how much silver, the court will definitely give it.
At noon, the soldiers and the people also got up, although they were frightened these days, but they did not work too hard physically, except for eating and sleeping, which was a luxurious life that they did not dare to think of before.
Master Chen told everyone that the danger had passed, but their homes had been destroyed. But strangely, instead of despairing, everyone smiled on their faces. Because in the past few days, the military and civilians have broken the barrier, and now they are happy, although there is no homeland, but where is not all eating and sleeping?
Especially when everyone lives together, there are many people, and I feel safe.
Qi Chu saw that everyone was not affected, so he was relieved.
Lord Chen said that he would have a big party in the evening, and secretly told Qi Chu that this was to thank him for annihilating the Japanese Kou last time. It has been a few days since I started from Yangzhou, and my spirit is highly tense every day. Now that he has the clues of the Yellow River map in his hand, Qi Chu can also rest assured, since there is delicious food and drink at night, then relax first.
Lord Chen ordered the soldiers to go down and let the soldiers go to the forest to collect some game. As a result, the pheasants, wild boars, wild dogs, hares and other things in the forest were quite cooperative, and when they heard that there was a big party in the evening, they ran out to dedicate themselves. It seems that the consciousness of the little animals is also quite high.
When the game was brought back, the people were busy with the skins and boiling water. I got up late, so I didn't feel hungry, and with so much deliciousness, everyone waited for the evening to throw off their arms and have a good meal.
Because I wanted to eat delicious food at night, I had a hope in my heart. If a person has hope in his heart, he will feel that time flies quickly, and everything will be ready when dusk is approaching.
Lan Ting led a few people to pile up many branches in the middle of the barracks, and he wanted to light a bonfire.
At the beginning of the night, Lan Ting lit a bonfire, and everyone divided into several stalls to roast game.
The light of the fire took advantage of the snow, and the oil from the game crackled on the burning branches below, and the fragrance wafted away, and everyone couldn't help it after a day of hunger. Unable to resist the temptation, they took out their knives one after another, looking for a good place to roast the game. Once they find a place to eat, they hurriedly put the blade under the blade and chew it in large gulps.
I ate like this for a while, but I always felt that it was not enjoyable, and suddenly remembered - no wine!
How could there be no wine on such a happy day, and so many delicacies, but when they withdrew from the city, no one had any extra hands to take the wine, except for the food. Besides, at that time, he was only concerned about running for his life, who could bring a few jars of wine?
Suddenly, a farmer stood up and ran to Lord Chen. Now that the military and civilians are a family, he is not afraid of being an official, and he has long regarded these people as his family.
"My lord, I remembered that Liu Yiba used to have a wine cellar, which seems to be near here. ”
Master Chen said in his heart that Liu Yiba really did something good. His eyes lit up, "Then what are you waiting for, you call some people to look for it." ”
When I heard that there was wine, everyone was also excited, and six or seven strong men followed the man. After a while, these people came back with sad faces, and when Lord Chen looked at their expressions, he probably guessed the result, "Didn't find it?"
The man said, "Found it." ”
"Is that no wine?" said in Lord Chen's heart, hateful Liu Yiba, what is it if you get a wine cellar and don't put wine.
"It's not that there is no wine, it's that there is too much wine, thousands of altars, we don't have enough manpower!"
Thousands of jars of wine have made a fortune!
