Chapter 20: The Drinker in the Shadows

At the beginning of the celebration, the winged guard general first came to the stage and gave an impassioned speech at the opening ceremony, which was not only boring, but also boosted morale. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This was followed by a singing and dancing performance by the military prostitutes, followed by a grand drill to show off their military might.

At the beginning of the song and dance, the three generals also began to push the cups and change the lamps, but Xiang Hui did not have the slightest intention of drinking.

Seeing that Xiang Hui was not moving, the wingguard general said to Xiang Hui: "General Zhenhan also come and drink a few bowls, there is joy when there is wine, come, let me fill it up for General Zhenhan." ”

Xiang Hui stretched out his hand to stop the winged guard general's pouring of wine, and said: "Just drink freely, you can drink happily, I'm afraid that drinking will make a mistake." ”

The general of the wing guard deliberately collapsed his face: "Didn't General Zhenhan look down on him?

Xiang Hui hurriedly said: "General Wing Guard misunderstood, I didn't mean that." ”

He had come this time to make the Tiger Army closer to them, and it would be bad if it made him even more estranged.

The winged guard general said: "In that case, then give me a face and accompany us to drink a bowl." ”

When Xiang Hui was in a dilemma, Liu Instinct, who was sitting in the back, leaned in.

"General Zhenhan, you can drink a bowl. ”

Xiang Hui looked back at Liu Instinct and said, "You don't sit in your own place in the back, what are you doing here." ”

Liu instinctively squinted and smiled: "The little one is closer to the generals, so he heard the conversation of some generals, so he came up to persuade General Zhenhan." ”

"It's just a bowl of ordinary wine, even if a woman's family drinks a bowl, she won't get drunk, if General Zhenhan doesn't drink enough, it's just that, but how can General Zhenhan not have this amount of alcohol?"

"Besides, there are soldiers on duty who are on guard at any time, General Zhenhan doesn't need to worry about defense, and we haven't drunk anything, if Yangguo dares to attack at this time, the soldiers can fight at any time. ”

"Since General Zhenhan wants to have fun with everyone, between this man, wine must be indispensable, a bowl of wine is dry, this is called refreshing, the generals said it, right?"

The three of them, including the general wing guard, nodded and agreed with this statement, and continued to persuade Xiang Hui to drink some too, and if he didn't drink, he wouldn't give face.

Xiang Hui glanced at Liu Instinct and said, "Liu Instinct, you seem to have talked a lot today?"

Liu Instinct, who is so timid that he is afraid when he sees himself, seems to have changed his person today, and actually took the initiative to come up and say so much to himself.

Liu Ben first sneered, and then said bluntly: "Where, the little one just wants to curry favor with the generals, although he is in charge of all the affairs of the army, but in the end, he is in charge of miscellaneous things, and he has no status." Therefore, I hope that General Zhenhan can take more care of everyone at ordinary times, and this is also for us to cooperate with the neatness of the army. ”

Xiang Hui looked at Liu Instinct, he didn't expect him to say it so bluntly, then looked at the other three generals, then sighed and said:

"Maybe it's me Xiang someone who is too worried, Xiang someone will do it first as a respect, please!"

Xiang Hui picked up the wine bowl and drank it all, and the other three generals also picked up the wine bowl after shouting hello when they saw this.

"General Zhenhan, please!"

Everyone drank it all, and then filled it with a bowl, although Xiang Hui refused, but he couldn't resist their kind invitation, and Xiang Hui also felt that this wine was indeed not very intoxicating, even if he drank a jar, he would be fine, so Xiang Hui also put down his burden and drank with them.

At this point, the four generals of Hezong Pass all drank wine......

Liu instinctively kept silent, just smiled at this scene, slowly retreated, and at the same time quietly made a gesture behind him with his hand, and those who saw the gesture quietly retreated......

In the square, the soldiers didn't pay much attention to singing and dancing, everyone just drank wine together, ate some side dishes, and chatted about family life, which was enough for them to be happy.

Because of Xiang Hui's arrangement, the people of the Tiger Ben Army also joined in, although they were a little quiet at first, but everyone was a soldier and a brother of Hezhongguan, so once they opened the chatterbox, they chatted and mingled with everyone.

"I said this brother of the Tiger Army, don't just talk, come, let's drink!" said a sergeant to the sergeant of the Tiger Army.

"No, no, no, I can't drink it. The Tiger Army man excused himself.

The sergeant who toasted said, "Why, usually you tiger soldiers eat and drink well, but you dislike the wine of us ordinary sergeants? ”

"No, that's not what I meant. The man from the Tiger Ben Army explained, "We don't usually drink alcohol, and this time General Zhenhan also specially ordered that we must not drink, otherwise we will be severely punished." ”

The toasting sergeant put down the wine bowl and complained, "Hey, you Tiger Ben people are really boring. ”

Just when the atmosphere was awkward, a sergeant who had not been sitting nearby before walked up and patted Sergeant Tiger Ben on the shoulder.

"Brother, I'm here to tell you that General Zhenhan has allowed you to drink!"

The sergeant of the Tiger Army asked in disbelief: "Really, don't bluff me, otherwise the general will punish me, and I will be finished." ”

The sergeant said, "Don't believe me, don't believe it, look at your Zhenhan general, what are you doing with him?"

When the sergeant of the Tiger Army heard this, he looked at the general's seat and found that their Zhenhan general, who was usually not smiling, actually talked and laughed with other generals, drinking bowl after bowl.

The sergeant smiled and said, "Isn't it, you see that your general has drunk, although he didn't allow you to drink before, but he changed his mind temporarily, it is rare to sympathize with you once, why don't you take this opportunity to drink?"

The sergeant of the Tiger Ben Army watched his general's movements, hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and picked up the wine bowl.

He said: "Come, everyone, it was my fault that I didn't take the wine just now, and now I punish myself with a bowl, I hope you don't mind." ”

Seeing this, the other sergeants burst out laughing.

"This is enough for you, General Zhenhan is so strict, we also understand, don't worry about what happened just now, come, drink!"

The soldiers of the Tiger Army also raised their wine bowls and drank them all with everyone......

In this way, one to ten, ten to hundred, the people behind no longer need to rely on people to inform them one by one that they can drink, and the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army who sat in the back and couldn't see Xiang Hui also believed that Xiang Hui allowed them to drink because of the actions of the other soldiers in the front row, and they all drank without any worries.

Once this lively atmosphere rises, no one will confirm the truth or falsehood, as long as everyone is happy, plus the saying that "Xiang Hui allowed the Tiger Benjun" to drink is passed on one by one, before Xiang Hui himself speaks, even if it is not true, it must be taken as true. Anyway, everyone else is drinking, and if you don't drink you, you'll have to be isolated.

Not only that, but those who passed the message "Drinking is allowed" also took the wine jar and bowl, walked towards the city wall of Helongitudinal Pass, and poured a bowl for the soldiers on duty one by one.

The generals are not around, no one controls them, and everyone is celebrating, and there will be a kind of discomfort in their hearts if they can't drink something, so the idea of "drinking a bowl to create an atmosphere and not making mistakes" gradually spread among the soldiers on duty, and when they saw that the people next to them were drinking, they drank at will.

In this way, although the guards were still standing, everyone drank a bowl of wine at the instigation of those who persuaded them to drink......
