Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Army

Alas! Xia Hongsheng sighed heavily, isn't this a humble person, who has ever seen a thirteen-year-old person go to train the meticulous work in the army? How could those veteran ruffians be so obedient?

Thinking of the words brought by Wang De, who caught up from behind when he came out of the palace gate, it made Xia Hongsheng even more headache - "I gave you a chance, don't let me down." I'll see the results next year at the latest. Before I send out a large army, I hope you will be able to make all the Liang Shi rebel and leave. ”

Xia Hongsheng scratched his head anxiously, what is going on!

I was irritable, when I heard a voice outside: "Childe, His Royal Highness the King of Han has brought someone here, are you ......?"

Xia Hongsheng was stunned for a moment, got up and opened the door and walked out, and when he got to the front, he saw that Li Ke and the gang of gentlemen had not missed anything, all of them had come over, followed by Xu Hui and Li Liqing, these two Loli must have heard Li Ke and Xu Qixian coming to eat, so they followed.

"Haha, congratulations to Brother Jingshi for being valued by His Majesty and awarded the position of Lieutenant Chong! Brother Tai is the first one of our brothers to have a real job, and he must be treated! Before Xia Hongsheng could speak, Li Yexu came over and wrapped his arm around Xia Hongsheng's shoulder and said.

Everyone coaxed, let Xia Hongsheng set up a banquet to invite guests, and made a lot of noise in the courtyard, but Xia Hongsheng laughed, the irritable mood just now is gone, what am I afraid of? After so many years of life experience in the later life, are you still afraid that you won't be able to suppress those ruffians? Besides, even if I don't do anything, when Chai Shao and Xue Wanjun's army is dispatched next year, Liang Shidu will also be sent over by his younger brother with his head cut off. This is the trend of history, no matter how I think about it, I will not lose, what am I afraid of?!

As soon as he thought of this, Xia Hongsheng suddenly became proud, and waved his hand: "Okay!" Let's go, there is a banquet in the drunken fairy building, and the little brother invites you to the stage! ”

"No, no, no, we will never go to the Drunken Immortal Tower today." Cheng Chuliang came out from behind: "I listened in the school hall in the morning, Lord Ke, Princess Changle, and Brother and Sister Xu are full of praise for the oily noodles, we are here to eat the oily noodles today!" Don't fool us with the drunken fairy building! ”

"Want to try my craft?" Xia Hongsheng raised his eyebrows and squinted at this group of gentlemen.

"That's nature!" The crowd shouted in response.

Xia Hongsheng clapped his hands and said very heroically: "Okay!" Come on, go out and buy something! Today, I will show you a hand and let you know what it means that a literati who can't cook food is not a good general! ”

The housekeeper from Qu Tutong's house was very reliable, and he usually knew everything Xia Hongsheng asked him to buy, and he didn't need Xia Hongsheng's orders, so he led people to the market. It didn't take long for the things to be purchased, all of which were usually bought by Xia Hongsheng, as well as some that he decided by himself, and sent them to the cook.

Zhang Luo came out with a table of things, don't be too easy, what big plate of chicken, spicy fragrant pot, overlord pig's trotters and something we can't do? Not only can we do it, but we have already taught the cook a lot of things during this time, and my sister-in-law has helped, and I can't forget the banquet in Xia Mansion after I discipline them today! It's a pity that the fly in the ointment is that his mansion has not yet been built, when can he put a table of wine in the real Xia Mansion, it will be perfect.

Plates of dishes were put into the hot drawer to keep warm, and Xia Hongsheng deliberately made a lot of them, so that those people could also eat a big meal. They were not their own subordinates, but Qu Tutong sent them, they have helped themselves a lot during this time, although they are subordinates, but we are civilized people from later generations, we must know that gratitude is not.

has been busy until sunset, and finally sorted out all the things, Xia Hongsheng took the towel on the ground to wipe his hands, and said: "Let's bring it all over, you all get together and set up a few other tables, I thank you for your help during this time." ”

When the housekeeper heard this, his eyes widened suddenly, and he didn't know if he was really grateful, or if his acting skills were too good, so two lines of tears rolled out, and he knelt down as soon as his legs were weak: "This is ...... The lord actually did it himself...... Small...... Small ......"

I can't cry anymore!

Xia Hongsheng grinned: "Okay, okay, look at you like that, call them over, I made a lot of deliberate, enough for you to eat, you sit at a table, let Qi Yong and them sit at a table, everything is the same, go and eat." ”

The steward's head banged on the ground, Xia Hongsheng shook his head and smiled, knowing that they didn't dare to eat here, so he left.

When I got to the front, I saw that the gang of gentlemen had already sat down and were gearing up, and the posture was like a general waiting for a charge in front of the two armies, just waiting for Xia Hongsheng to give an order, and then launched a crazy charge against the dishes in front of him.

Xia Hongsheng sat down and picked up chopsticks: "Everyone, please!" ”

In an instant, as if drops of water had been poured into the hot oil, the group of gentlemen suddenly boiled.

"The trotters are mine!"

"Let go, be careful with me and I'll beat you again!"

"Which bastard took my braised pork!"

……

Xia Hongsheng looked at the gobbling up crowd below, grinned and snickered for a while, before he remembered to pick up the wine glass: "Come, brothers, have a drink together!" ”

"Uh......h Wait, wait! Li Ke, who was full of things, hurriedly waved his hand: "Eat!" Drink it later! ”

Xia Hongsheng's face suddenly had a black line, and Li Lizhi, who was sitting next to Li Ke, suddenly looked like she was about to cry, and she looked like she wanted to show a look of disgust, but she didn't feel too obvious, so she had to sit next to him and pull away some distance, with a posture that I didn't know him.

It's like a tornado blowing, and that's a mess of cups and plates. Everyone looked like they were still unfinished with the aftertaste, and their stomachs were round one by one.

Li Ke burped, rubbed his stomach, and sighed: "Oops, I ate too much, and I can't swallow the wine......"

Xia Hongsheng persuaded him to drink a few times, but everyone drank a few sips, and it was difficult to swallow, so he had to give up in the end.

"Brother Jingshi, this craft is really speechless, it is my father's food, I'm afraid there are not so many tricks, so delicious......" Li Ke ate too much, and now lazily leaned on the mat and sighed. Stroking his belly as if he was pregnant, Xia Hongsheng said maliciously.

Everyone chatted and began to give Xia Hongsheng advice, so that he could suppress the gang of ruffians and not be bullied in the army.

It wasn't until it was completely dark that everyone said goodbye, and then left with a bulging belly.

Xia Hongsheng sent people to the end, and when he saw Xu Hui and Li Lizhen coming over, he asked, "Your Royal Highness Princess, little girl, how are you two eating?" ”

"Call me a little girl again!" As soon as Xu Hui heard this title, she was immediately dissatisfied.

Li Lizhi pulled Xu Hui, and then gave Xia Hongsheng a slight salute: "Lizhi has never tasted such a delicacy, and yesterday's oily noodles are also ...... Lizhi thanked Xia Duwei, and Lizhi was very ...... tonight Happy, it's been a long time since I've been so happy! ”

"Just be happy." Xia Hongsheng smiled, what made her happy was not these meals, but the unrestrained atmosphere just now!

After sending these people away, the moment Xia Hongsheng turned around and left, he suddenly realized a problem......

I have to go to work tomorrow, where am I going to report for duty?!

Xia Hongsheng went back, and the gang of subordinates and Qi Yong all came out to kowtow to Xia Hongsheng, but it made Xia Hongsheng embarrassed. Didn't you just invite them to a meal, and you helped yourself for so long...... It seems that he is still not accustomed to the life of the feudal landlord class!

Early the next morning, just after the morning drum, Xia Hongsheng took Qi Yong and a few other Qu Tutong's personal soldiers out of the house.

"Qi Yong, where do you think I should report to work...... What about Yingmao? Xia Hongsheng asked Qi Yong.

"The prince was ordered by His Majesty to be the commander of the Chong Chong, and he selected a fine work from the right feather forest guard, and he should go to the right feather forest guard official office." Qi Yong replied: "The little one knows how to go, so I'll take the son over." ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded, and asked again: "Qi Yong, you are a member of the army, do you think those people will look down on me?" ”

"This ......" Qi Yong hesitated. Seeing his hesitant look, Xia Hongsheng knew the answer, but heard Qi Yong say: "Childe, you must suppress them, and you must let them see Childe's methods, otherwise whether it is the general above or the soldiers below, they will bully Childe!" After all, Childe doesn't have any military merits yet......"

Xia Hongsheng nodded and understood, he was directly arranged by Li Lao Er, and he was not very old, he had not been on the battlefield, he had no military merits, and the army was the most important place of strength, so it was inevitable that he would be looked down upon.

Hmph, Xia Hongsheng sneered, the official level crushes people to death, I will let you see my methods. The first lesson for new students, military training!

When they arrived outside the military office, Qi Yong and the others stopped, only to hear Qi Yong say: "Son, the military office is not for small people to enter, let's wait for you outside." You are careful, there is General Yulin of the Right Guard, and General Zhixuan of Baoguo Gongduan. General Duan was extremely strict in governing the army, even more so than General Qu Tu. ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded, then turned around and walked into the military office, and in front of the main hall sat a straight-headed general with a gray beard and an expressionless face, looking very solemn and not angry and arrogant. There were already many people kneeling on both sides, all with expressionless faces and very serious. Xia Hongsheng walked to the hall and said, "The last general will fold and rush to the commander Xia Hongsheng, and meet General Yulin!" ”

Duan Zhixuan nodded: "Sit." ”

Xia Hongsheng didn't say much, and sat down next to him.

Duan Zhixuan glanced around, and his eagle-eyed gaze immediately made the hall solemn again.
