Chapter 224: Going to the Banquet
Two days later, Cheng Xiaolian and Yang Youcai walked on the street of Baodou City, and Yang Youcai looked helpless: "Young shopkeeper, why am I being tricked by you to do this kind of thing again?" β
Baodou City is the last city between them and Meng Mi, with the documents of Ruan Qingting, dozens of them successfully entered the city, Cheng Xiaolian didn't want to have another hard encounter, the first hard encounter of 3,000 people left more than 2,000 people, although the appearance is new, but if this kind of battle is fought again, there will only be more than 1,000 people left. γFengyun Reading Network. γ
Although Cheng Xiaolian wants to train soldiers, he is not willing to bear such a high proportion of casualties, it is not easy for these people to survive, two more months of training can definitely change their appearance on the battlefield, and their bloody nature has been stimulated, there is no need to fight this kind of bloody battle again, and Cheng Xiaolian really doesn't know how to face Mao Ruoling, so he set this strategy.
Yang Youcai has long had experience, and he can't fight for filial piety in this kind of thing no matter what, so he won't discuss how dangerous this matter is, just arrange people to protect him. It's just that this time Meng Ke can't follow because he wants to lead the army, and they have one less warrior who can open the way with his bare hands.
There are countless refugees outside the city gate, they don't have identity certificates, naturally they can't enter the city, after capturing the previous city, Cheng Xiaolian didn't kill many people, not because he was merciful, but now killing people is really not a good strategy, they are now in the hinterland of Myanmar, if the news of slaughtering civilians spreads, the whole Myanmar will be their enemy, and now the people of Myanmar just don't help them, let them feel very uncomfortable, if they are enemies, it is estimated that it will be difficult to move an inch.
Familiar with the guerrilla warfare of later generations, Cheng Xiaolian knew that if he fell into the ocean of the people's war at this time, let alone revenge, it was estimated that he would not be able to get out of Burma, so he seriously affirmed military discipline and issued a strict order, and those who killed people for no reason would pay for their lives.
And these people who fled to Baodou City are basically rich families who drag their families with their mouths, they are afraid of death and use their ability to run, so they ran out as soon as possible, but they can still have a little face in their own city, and it will not work at all when they get to Baodou City, and they can't enter the city with money, and the people in the city are also afraid of being mixed into the city.
So now there are two worlds inside and outside the city walls, one side singing and dancing, and the other side is panicking. As for the people in the city, I heard that the city was captured and the city was not slaughtered, and even the robbery did not happen, and I probably understood that this group of people did not come to kill people, so what are you worried about, it would be good to get some food **** when the time comes, anyway, the soldiers can't hold the city, who can blame them for their lives with food?
So all the people in the city are living their own lives, and even today the whole city is decorated with lights, because the city wants to take concubines.
Of course, a city like Baodou City should not have a city lord at all, but the city lord of the family is a son of a big family, and there is no leisure in other places, so he got him to the city of Baodou City to be the city lord.
Therefore, the general defending the city was still waiting for the city at this time, and the city lord was already wearing red and purple to prepare for marriage. In his opinion, the city can still be defended for a few days, even if the city is broken, those people under his command can protect him safe and sound, and he knows the news over there, and there is no killing, so this kind of thing must not be delayed.
Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, taking a concubine, the city lord naturally has no other reason to take a concubine, and he is just confused. That woman is a Han Chinese, although the lord of the city can be regarded as well-informed, but he has never seen such a beautiful woman, and from the first time he saw her, he decided that no matter what method he used, he had to marry her.
Now that good things are about to happen, where can I take care of other things, I just want to marry immediately and hurry into room D.
Cheng Xiaolian sneered when he heard the news: "I said Lao Yang, how about we go to eat wedding wine?" β
Yang Youcai coughed and lowered his volume: "Young shopkeeper, that guy is a disciple of a family, I'm afraid that there is no good wine, and there is no good banquet." β
"Even if it's a Hongmen banquet, I have to go, you have seen the situation at the head of the city, the general almost filled the city, we are going to attack, I don't know how many people will die, this city lord is our good opportunity." This is called if you can't beat a god-like opponent, so start with his pig-like teammates. β
Yang Youcai coughed: "The young shopkeeper always has these warning words in his mouth. β
"Stop talking nonsense, prepare gifts, and let's go to the feast."
The lord of the city has seen the world, and the marriage is naturally vague, and all the streets are covered with expensive blankets, which provokes the young people in the city to come and watch, blankets are useless in Myanmar, but they are scarce and expensive, especially when someone steps on them and boasts: "Light and fluttering, it is like stepping on a cloud." attracted many teenagers to secretly go to the street to step on the red carpet, not to mention how hot the surrounding scene was.
The lord of the city is also a talent, but it's a pity that his steps are vain and his eyes are dark, and it seems that life is destined to be a song every night. He stood in front of the door for a while, and his face turned angry: "Why haven't you come yet?" β
The servant next to him hurriedly replied, "Young Master, this auspicious time has not yet arrived." β
"He's really troublesome, hurry up and find a chair for the young master, the young master can't stand still. If I had known, I wouldn't have come out so early. β
Soon the servant moved out a chair, and the city lord sat on it: "Hurry up and urge, let them hurry up, what kind of dog P auspicious time, the Han people use that useless thing, you have to hurry up about marrying a daughter-in-law, do you know?" **A moment is worth a thousand dollars, do you understand? β
Cheng Xiaolian chuckled in the crowd: "The forest is really big, there are really all kinds of birds." β
Yang Youcai was very careful: "If you are a shopkeeper, be cautious, it's not good to be heard." β
Soon, the sedan chair arrived at the urging of the city lord, and the people in the house seemed to be accustomed to this kind of scene, and they didn't feel strange at all, but the customs of Myanmar were different from those of the Han people, and the sedan chair was carried directly into the backyard, and even worshipping heaven and earth was exempted.
Then a large number of guests began to bring gifts to the banquet, Cheng Xiaolian and they were also offering a gift, but the gifts were all packed in wooden boxes, even if they were rude, those subordinates did not dare to open the wooden box in front of the guests, so naturally they didn't know that Cheng Xiaolian's wooden box was written on the old mountain ginseng, and a small white radish was placed in it. But Cheng Xiaolian and their group of people are dressed and bearing, and naturally no one doubts them.
Naturally, you can't bring many people to the banquet, Cheng Xiaolian only brought five people in, and the rest of the people stayed outside to respond. The courtyard was already full of banquets, and the people who came all found their own places to sit down, but Cheng Xiaolian and the others chose a table close to the West Cross Courtyard, fortunately, they were just at the same table, and they didn't have to socialize with others.
