Chapter 66: The Night Banquet (3)
"Brother Duan! Nancheng has brought you another brother. "The frustrated man didn't arrive, the words came first. Duan Ye opened the door and looked, and sure enough, a young man standing next to Nan Cheng was of medium height, dressed in Han dress, with a scholar with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, looking like a beautiful man.
"This is ......" Duan Ye was a little skeptical.
"Frustrated." The young man smiled slightly, with a hint of shame on his face, "I have long heard Brother Nancheng talk about Brother Duan, and it is really a blessing to see him today." ”
Nan Cheng also said: "This is the most outstanding son of my Lu Shuihu young generation, frustrated and Mengxun!" Meng Xun, this is the number one celebrity around Jiexia now, Duan who made a boulder cannon and entered the army alone, you two should be close. ”
"Oh!" Duan Ye laughed, "Okay! Okay, it's also Duan Ye's honor to meet Brother Meng Xun today, hurry! Come in, ah. ”
Duan Ye smiled and invited the guests in, but he was muttering in his heart, should he pull out the dagger and chop Meng Xun now!
Without him, in history, Comrade Duan Ye was cut off by Frustrated Meng Xun himself! It's really a narrow road now. If it weren't for Duan Ye who felt that his ability to kill people was too poor, he would have picked up a knife a long time ago.
"But didn't the male brother go to Lianchuan Fort on business, why did he also arrive at Qiuzi at this time." Duan Ye asked.
"Oh, Brother Duan, it's not wrong that I went to Lianchuan Fort, it was ordered by the Lord to go to see the chief of the bald department, it is the brother of the annoying bald Wei Tan, the matter is over, I have to hurry up to the banquet in Qiuzi, hehe, I happened to meet Meng Xun, so I brought him to see you." The man said with a grin.
"So, Wei Tan is also coming?" Duan Ye was a little surprised.
"Isn't it, why wouldn't he come and join in the fun?" Nancheng said.
Duan Ye noticed that every time he mentioned Wei Tan, Frustrated Meng Xun's face was a little unnatural, although he tried his best to hide it. Duan Ye sighed secretly in his heart, it seemed that these two people were destined to be wrong.
The guest of honor sat down, and after a few words of greeting, Nan Cheng was still good at enlivening the atmosphere, and said with a smile: "Brother Duan, I have already taken Meng Xun to see the boulder cannon you made, tsk, for so many years, I have never seen Meng Xun convincing anyone, but this time, Meng Xun really convinced you." ”
"Hehehe, carving insect skills, why bother." Duan Ye waved his hand and smiled, looking very modest.
"Definitely." Meng Xun folded the fan in his hand, "Brother Duan knows that on the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyes, and it is a great merit to be able to take the lives of the enemy and save the lives of his own soldiers!" The boulder cannon Meng Xun went to see, the design is exquisite, the workmanship is simple, it can be produced in large quantities, it is really a weapon for siege, Brother Duan just invented such a sharp weapon, it can go down in history, why be modest? ”
Duan Ye shook his head and said, "Duan Ye thinks that the essence of the world lies in the Tao, not in the arts. With a good weapon in hand, although you can get a plan for a while, you can't get a plan for a lifetime. In the past, Yingzheng ruled the world, who can compete with the army? However, his body died for only a year, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, just a gangster, but Daze Township rose up, the world responded, and Qin died after three years, isn't his weapon advanced!? Aren't his soldiers elite? It's just that if you lose the hearts of the people and the way of heaven, you will be like a building, who can save it? ”
"Ahh Meng Xun slapped his fan towards the palm of his hand, "Brother Duan's words really win my heart, but Brother Duan thinks that if the trend is today, what is the trend?" Who can attain enlightenment? ”
Duan Ye scolded in his heart, why did this grandson come in and take my words? Look at Nan Cheng again, he didn't participate in these discussions at all, he was happily drinking tea there, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how can such an honest child calculate your cunning brother.
Seeing that Meng Xun looked at him with blazing eyes, his expression seemed to be smiling, Duan Ye sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "The general trend of the world is not something that a person like Duan Ye can speculate about, but Duan Ye thinks about it, Duan Ye's opinion is probably basically similar to Meng Xun's. ”
"Oh?" Meng Xun became interested, "Brother Duan thinks, what does Meng Xun think?" ”
"Duan Ye is not a roundworm in Brother Meng Xun's stomach, naturally I don't know what you think, but Duan Ye knows a little bit about face-to-face, but he knows that Brother Meng Xun may have to do something big, do something bad, and do something bad in the name of doing good!"
"Hahaha!" Meng Xun stroked his palms and laughed, "Those who know me, Brother Duan!" ”
Duan Ye also laughed with him, but although the two laughed and looked at each other, they suddenly felt a sense of pity for each other. No wonder it is said that it is not his friends, nor his parents, nor himself, but his enemies who know a person best!
The man put down the teacup in a daze, "You two, what are you talking about?" ”
It's almost time for dinner. Since Meng Xun and Nan Cheng had already arrived, Duan Ye had nothing else to do for the time being, so the three of them decided to go to Qiuzi Palace together, and they could say a few words by the way on the way.
Just now in Duan Ye's place, Meng Xun and Duan Ye are like old friends who haven't seen each other for many years, astronomy and geography, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, medicine and astrology, everything is discussed, Duan Ye has a wide range of knowledge about Meng Xun, although he has long been mentally prepared, but he is still very surprised when he really chats, Meng Xun naturally does not need to say, he has always been above the top, and now he sees this person who has been blown by his brother to be amazing, it seems that he really has a few brushes, and he can't help but feel respect.
But when they went out, Duan Ye and Nan Cheng chatted happily. All kinds of anecdotes and gossip, Nan Cheng is actually very interested, talking about the Tao, such as the sons of the adults under the festival, such as the story of Liang Xi and the concubines in Liangzhou, the male Cheng is Menqing, and Duan Ye happens to like to listen to these, so he also listens to them with relish. Meng Xun occasionally interjected a few words just right, adding fuel and vinegar, which happened to be praised, so the three of them laughed from time to time. Fortunately, the identities of the three of them are basically known to the soldiers on the road, so they don't dare to care about anything.
Because the distance is very close, these few people are not considered guests, so the three of them walked away, Duan Ye and Meng Xun are both dressed as literati, looking personable, looking like a turbid son, and the male is dressed in cowhide armor, his hair is tied into small braids and spread out, looking like a fierce general. On Qiuzi Street, under the semi-forced request of Lu Guang's army, the shops have been partially opened, and there are a few pedestrians, which is finally more angry than a few days ago.
The three of them chatted happily, but they heard someone behind them shouting, "Is that Brother Duan in front?" ”
The three of them turned around together, but Duan Ye found that there was a man and a woman behind them, like a pair of beautiful people. The man is already an old acquaintance, and he is just called a hateful person.
