Chapter 393: Military Parade
Liu Zezhong drank mediocre wine, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, he was already a little staggered, and said proudly with the strength of the wine: "Lord Zhao...... It is said that this summer is how the south is dominant, and it is only like this when I see it today......"
Zhao Yue was furious in his heart, this Liu Zezhong is really stupid and stupid like a pig, he has repeatedly made mistakes, if the other party is so easy to deal with, how can a government governor and three counties sit here honestly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But taking into account the official's demeanor and face, he didn't scold Liu Zezhong on the spot, so as not to let the people in the Qiongzhou camp see the jokes, but he held back his anger and said lightly: "Liu Zhixian is drunk, be cautious." ”
Liu Zezhong was drunk for seven or eight points, he didn't see Zhao Yue's displeasure, and before he could say anything, he was intercepted by Wu Mingjin, "Come on, Lord Liu, we are officials in the same house, and we are neighboring states and counties, we have to help each other in the future, I will give you a drink." A glass of wine finally stopped him.
Wei Bocheng, the magistrate of Danzhou, saw that the atmosphere on the table was a little wrong, and he also raised his glass to persuade him to drink. Liu Zezhong drank a few more glasses, only to feel that the world was spinning, and he fell on the table with a "bang", unconscious.
Seeing that he was drunk and unconscious, the other three were secretly relieved.
Wei Bocheng asked inquiringly: "I heard that in addition to the invitation sent to Fucheng and Chengmai, Lingao, and Danzhou counties, Changhua also received it, I don't know why Changhua County didn't come?" ”
Zhao Yue felt that the more he drank, the hotter he became, so he loosened his collar and said: "Lu Gengyu of Changhua Zhixian County must feel that he has his back against the big tree of Changhua Qianhu, and he doesn't need to look at his face here......"
Wei Bocheng suddenly realized that Changhua County is a city of thousands of households, and there are more military households than ordinary people in the city. Although Xia Nan has been cared for as an officer and soldier, it is impossible to openly use force against the county seat, but whether he has soldiers and horses in his hands is different. It's like a few of them, in case the south turns his face in the summer, they don't even have the possibility of resisting.
As a witness who has closely observed the whole process of the rise of the Qiongzhou battalion step by step, Wu Mingjin does not think that a thousand households can block the thunderous blow of Xia Nan -- provided that Xia Nan gives up his identity as an officer and soldier and openly attacks the county seat -- a few thousand guards in Fucheng cannot defeat a few hundred people, one or two thousand battalions in Guangdong cannot defeat a thousand people, and even hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Guangzhou are helpless, and a thousand tattered and tattered households are not enough for people to plug their teeth.
He looked at Zhao Yue, and Lord Tongzhi frowned and stopped talking, obviously not thinking that Changhua County's choice was correct.
Xia Nan drank slowly, but his eyes were fixed on Zhao Yue's table. Seeing Liu Zezhong drunk, Zhao Yue and the others had a straight face, and smiled secretly in their hearts: "Tonight is just a warm-up, tomorrow is the real show, let you open your eyes at that time." ”
There is an undercurrent on the banquet here, and Lin Weiye has already left the guests and returned to the cave room. Pushing open the door, I saw that the bride was hurriedly putting the hijab back on, I guess I was angry just now, and I saw no one, so I took it off to breathe.
Lin Weiye smiled, sat down beside her, and hugged her shoulder.
"Lady, I can finally call you a lady......"
A crisp voice came from the hijab: "It's better to tell Nanying to listen to it and get used to it." ”
"If you like it, I will call you Nanying in the future, and you will still call me Brother. However, today is a big day for us to get married, according to the customs of our Han people, I have to call you a lady, you have to call me a father-in-law. ”
Fu Nanying chuckled, lifted the corner of her hijab, and glared at him playfully: "Xianggong, according to the customs of your Han people, what are we going to do next?" ”
This glance made Lin Weiye confused, he swallowed his saliva, and reached out to touch the wine jug on the table, "It seems that it is time to drink the wine next......
The red hijab suddenly covered his face, and Fu Nanying pushed him onto the bed, "But how did I hear that the Han people call it a cave room tonight, is it time for a cave room next?" ”
Lin Weiye's lust was teased by this sentence, he was determined to prove that he was a gentleman, lifted his hijab, turned over, and hugged Fu Nanying and pressed her under him.
Fu Nanying smiled like a flower, and her wheat-colored skin shimmered with vitality in the light of candlelight.
Lin Weiye leaned over and kissed her, and Fu Nanying closed her eyes gently.
The moment before the lips met, the image of the woman with long black hair and white skin suddenly appeared in Lin Weiye's mind.
He shook his head, trying to get the image out of his mind completely.
"Don't! You and I are not in the same time and space, and I will start my new life......"
The candlelight in the room was extinguished, and the room was full of spring.
The second day after the wedding banquet was a good show arranged by Xia Nan for Zhao Yue and others.
The Qiongzhou battalion released the news early that a military parade would be held today, and representatives of the prefect's yamen and the prefects of neighboring prefectures and counties were invited to watch the ceremony, and the people were also allowed to watch it.
It is the nature of the Chinese people to love to see the excitement, and when the New Year is approaching, the people have nothing else to do, so they take their daughter-in-law and hold their son to drag their families to see the excitement.
I heard that the route of the military parade was from Bofu, from Xicheng into the county seat, and then through General Street through Dongcheng to the Mayuan Barracks. The people gathered on both sides of General Street early, waiting for the procession to arrive. While waiting, the crowd was full of discussions:
"What kind of charter is this military parade, is it a few big-headed soldiers going all the way from here?"
"At first glance, you know that you are a turtle, and you don't understand anything. The second son of my uncle's family works in the arsenal, and I heard inside information that the highlight of this military parade is a drill with real swords and guns, and the rest is foreshadowing. ”
The hour had passed, and when the hour came, seeing that there was no movement, some people became anxious, looked at the probe, and ran to wait outside the west city in a hurry.
At three o'clock in the morning, someone shouted, "Coming, coming......
Neat footsteps rang out, and soldiers in red uniforms appeared far away at the end of General Street, all carrying polished shiny Qionghai-style rifles.
Qiongzhou is remote, the armament is lax, and most of the guards are set up to guard against pirates, and the people of Lingao County and even the entire Qiongzhou Prefecture rarely see a serious army. Although the battle of Bofu was fierce, the people did not dare to approach, so naturally they had no chance to meet the elite soldiers of the imperial court. Seeing such a well-groomed army now, everyone is inexplicably excited, this is our army in Lingao, the only one in the entire Qiongzhou Mansion.
The procession formed two columns and marched slowly through General Street in unison. All the soldiers looked straight ahead, their three-edged spears reflected a dazzling light in the sunlight, and the eyes of the onlookers seemed to be a little unable to open. The neat steps converged into one voice, as if it were not hundreds or thousands of people advancing, but one person. (To be continued.) )
