Chapter 344: The Wedding and the Trial
Li Qing, who got the accurate news, was completely relaxed, Qingfeng got what Lu Zhaoting, and Shang Haibo led the two battalions of cavalry to return, with these two people, no matter what happened, they could survive. After he was in a good mood, he camped, and invited Boyan Sushun and others to drink in his tent.
Stabilizing the interior has become a top priority in Dingzhou, and the external enemy has shown its shadow, or the northern Lu clan, which has never shown hostility to Dingzhou before, it is conceivable that the southern Ning Wang and the central Xiao clan and others, if they have the opportunity, will also pounce on themselves and bite themselves. Internal unquiet will inevitably be unfavorable to the outside, and at present, the first thing to stabilize the internal is to unite the barbarians, and if you want to unite the barbarians, you must let Boyan and others worry about everything.
After three rounds of drinking, Boyan asked tentatively: "Dashuai is very happy today, but the troubles in his heart have been solved?" ”
Li Qing laughed, knowing that he couldn't hide it from Boyan, he saw the movements of the Dingzhou Army these days, raised his wine glass, and said: "Lord Boyan, some days ago, there were indeed some clowns who wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob, but now they steal chickens and rice, and they are not lightly planted, Lord Boyan is relieved!" ”
Boyan naturally didn't ask deeply, although nominally he is now the governor of Dingzhou, but he personally understands that this is just a false name, if he really takes him seriously, it will be a joke. Pulling away from the topic, the two of them chatted with the gods of the world, the south and the north, the sea and the sky, one has been in the world for a long time, has seen a lot of knowledge, and the other is a man in two lives, and he has seen superman.
As he was talking, the tent door was opened, and the one-armed general Guan Xinglong stepped in and saluted Li Qing, "Dashuai, when I understand that I will go back to Dingyuan with the departure team, I will come to bid farewell to Dashuai today." ”
Seeing Guan Xinglong, Li Qing's heart suddenly moved, inspiration flashed, and asked, "Xinglong, there is no one at home anymore, right?" ”
Guan Xinglong's expression was gloomy, and he said: "Yes, Dashuai, the last general is an orphan, and I don't know who my biological parents are since I was a child!" ”
Li Qing nodded, "Well, your marriage is a major event in life, although you have no parents and family, but my Dingzhou Army is also your home, since this is the case, I am your family, go to Dingyuan with you!" ”
Guan Xinglong froze suddenly, and everyone in the tent also froze, Li Qing this time, the grace to Guan Xinglong was great, Guan Xinglong was stunned for a while, his eyes were already full of tears, and he knelt down with a sigh, "Xinglong doesn't dare to mistake the marshal military affairs because of family affairs!" ”
Li Qing laughed, "The horizontal knife is immediate, only I am General Guan, such a man, how can I cry my nose at every turn, you are my general, your marriage is naturally a major event in my Dingzhou, can I not go?" He stepped forward, helped Guan Xinglong, and said, "What's more, it won't take a few days!" By the way, have you invited the officiant to get married? ”
Guan Xinglong wiped a handful of tears and said embarrassedly: "Before going on the expedition, my father-in-law said that he would invite one on the side, and I would also look for one here, I was thinking about it!" ”
Li Qing laughed, "Don't think about it, I'll find one for you." He turned around and shouted, "Lord Boyan! ”
Boyan was looking at Li Qing intently, Li Qing's hand was so wonderful, he didn't have to pay a single inch to make his generals die, and suddenly heard Li Qing shouting, and subconsciously responded: "Li Dashuai!" ”
Li Qing pointed at Boyan and said to Guan Xinglong: "Lord Boyan is old and virtuous, isn't he a ready-made officiant, I am in charge of this matter!" ”
Hearing this, everyone was thundered down again, if it is reasonable for Li Qing to go to support the scene for Guan Xinglong, then it would be too surprising for everyone to let Boyan preside over the marriage, who is Boyan, a few months ago, and Guan Xinglong were still mortal enemies, both sides were thinking about how to kill each other, and in the blink of an eye, one was going to become the officiant of the other party, and the officiant would have to remember it for a lifetime, and he would come to the door to give the gift of the younger generation every New Year's festival in the future.
Guan Xinglong opened his mouth wide this time, and he didn't know what to say, if it was not Li Qing who said this, but someone else, Guan Xinglong's first reaction must be to slap the opponent into the corner to draw a circle, and then scold him for playing the piano, but when these words came out of Li Qing's mouth, the weight was different, and it was almost a clapper.
Boyan was the first to react, immediately stood up, and excused himself: "Li Dashuai, this matter is inappropriate, I definitely can't afford it." ”
After a short period of shock, Lu Yiming fully understood what Li Qing meant at this time, and stood up at the moment, and said: "Lord Boyan doesn't have to shirk, let's see who else in our account is older than Lord Boyan, he is old and deserving, Xinglong, don't hurry up and invite Lord Boyan!" He turned around and glared at Guan Xinglong.
Guan Xinglong was not a stupid person, but when he saw Lu Yiming's appearance, he suddenly understood in his heart that his wedding was probably not a simple wedding, but a public relations activity that the handsome man had created and was intimate with the barbarians. took a step forward at the moment, took a deep look at Boyan, and said, "There is Lord Lao Boyan!" ”
Boyan smiled bitterly, knowing that he couldn't excuse himself, he understood what Li Qing meant, glanced at Li Qing with great meaning, and said to Guan Xinglong with a smile: "I originally wanted to save a little, but if I became the main marriage, this joy would be overlooked!" This made everyone laugh.
Li Qing smiled and said to Guan Xinglong: "Okay, okay, since it has been decided, you will return to Dingyuan first to prepare, and Lord Boyan and I will arrive later!" ”
Guan Xinglong's wedding is extremely grand, in fact, Guan Xinglong has no money to spare, in addition to his own spending, most of the usual soldiers are subsidized to soldiers or people who were once their subordinates and retired due to injuries and disabilities, although he is a general, but he is really poor, although Jin Xilai has a little surplus wealth, but he can't afford such a grand wedding, but because Li Qing and many bigwigs in Dingzhou have to come, Jin Xilai can only grit his teeth and borrow a large amount of money, although his heart is really painful, But as soon as I remembered that my only daughter was the general's wife who passed the door, I also felt that it was worth it, as for how to repay the money, it was not on his agenda for the time being, but fortunately, he was not old, and the hospital would run it, and there would always be something that could be paid off.
But on the day of the wedding, the people who received it really scared this honest old doctor, not to mention that the people who came with Li Qing were the officials from Dingzhou City, and they all sent people to send a special trip to send a congratulatory ceremony, even Qingfeng, director of the Statistical Survey Department, and Shang Qingbo, a member of the military government, also sent people to send gifts, and these big people, Jin Xilai has only heard of them. However, if you want to say that the most important gifts are those barbarian nobles, Boyan became the main marriage, and all the barbarian nobles also followed Li Qing to Dingyuan, these people have nothing else now, they are so poor that only money is left, Guan Xinglong is a general valued by Li Qing, and he is about to be alone in the town, and it is good to have a good relationship now, but this money Jin Xilai received a little awkwardly, Dingyuan was also the front line of resistance to barbarians before, and the most people treated by Jin Xilai were the wounded who were injured in the battle with the barbarians on the battlefield, and now with a blink of an eye, the old hen turned into a duck, actually became friends.
If you calculate the harvest, not only can you pay off the borrowed money, but you can also save a lot of money. The two sides have their own place, Guan Xinglong has an unforgettable wedding, the old doctor Jin Xilai not only has no debts, but also makes a lot of money, and Li Qing has successfully created a harmonious atmosphere of the Dingzhou barbarian family, and the barbarians are also heartless, since Li Qing has done this part, he has reached Dingzhou, and he doesn't have to worry about the people of Dingzhou to embarrass them. Everyone was happy.
Dingyuan was jubilant, and in a place in Dingzhou City, a person was full of sorrow, Lu Zhaoting was taken captive by Wang Qi and his party for a few days, as soon as he entered Dingzhou City, he and Lu Hao and Lu Zheng were separated and detained, and they didn't know where they were detained, looking at the room where they live now, probably the legendary Statistical Survey Division, for a few days, Lu Zhaoting is an important person in Dingzhou has not been seen, but several rounds of interrogations come every day, asking is nothing more than a secret agreement with Luzhou, Lu Zhaoting ignored it. These people are also good-tempered, Lu Zhaoting didn't say it, they weren't in a hurry, they came with a smile and went with a smile, but they didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
Lu Zhaoting pondered that there should be a big man coming out. Maybe it's the rumored head of the most powerful statistical survey department, the white fox Qingfeng.
The door was pushed open with a bang, and several big men hugged in, and the eagle grabbed Lu Zhaoting like a chicken and left, Lu Zhaoting struggled and said, "What do you want to do?" ”
A big man with a body full of meat, bare breasts, and a piece of black hair on his chest laughed and said: "You little white face, don't be ashamed to give you a face, since you don't want to talk to you, then the master will give you a happy one today." ”
Lu Zhaoting had a sudden attack in his heart, don't you want to be tortured, all along, although it has fallen into the hands of the people of Dingzhou, he thinks that with his own identity, the other party will definitely not use torture.
Almost without touching the ground, he dragged through the long corridor, entered a closed stone room, looked at the facilities in the room, Lu Zhaoting's body was half cold, sure enough, it was a torture room, three times five divided by two, he was tied to a cross erected in the middle of the house on the wood, several big men no longer paid attention to him, but concentrated on fiddling with all kinds of torture instruments.
A big man picked up a soldering iron, stuffed it into a charcoal fire and burned it red, and then immersed it in water, in the sound of snorting, bursts of water vapor rose, and Lu Zhaoting's heart was furious, and the big man looked back at Lu Zhaoting's face from time to time, as if he was looking at the face over there It was more suitable to start, and on the other side, on the blazing fire, a pot of water was being burned to the ground, and it was already boiling away, and one person was holding a sharp brush-like thing stirring in the water.
"Huang Si, wait a while, you pour this water on his thighs, I'll use this brush to brush again, hehe, brush his flesh layer by layer until the bones are exposed, do you think that kid will feel pain?" One laughed.
Huang Si smiled, "It hurts a fart, a basin of boiling water goes up, that kid has long been numb, but watching the meat being brushed down layer by layer, it's just fear, you forgot the guy last time, just brushed it, and then recruited!" ”
"Do you say that the ferrochrome of the little plum works, or does our brush work?" The man before said again.
Huang Si glanced at Lu Zhaoting, "That's not for sure, let's brush our legs, cover our clothes, and others can't see it, Xiao Lizi likes to brand people's faces the most, and he will be with him for life, this little white face is very handsome, maybe Xiao Lizi's trick will work." ”
Hearing what they said was terrifying, Lu Zhaoting felt that there seemed to be many caterpillars crawling around on his body, and a burst of fear involuntarily gave birth to him, and he couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted: "Don't say it again, come to your Director Qingfeng, I have something to tell him." ”
Huang Si smiled hesitantly, "Bullshit, what kind of extravagant character are you, you actually want to see our boss, if you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go, grandpa can't wait patiently, so you have to do it." ”
Lu Zhaoting knew that these rough people were unreasonable, the so-called Hades King was good-looking, and the little ghosts were difficult to deal with, so he hissed: "I am from the Lu clan, and I want to talk to your director about military affairs, you little people are qualified to listen, go and find Director Qingfeng." ”
Several people glanced at each other, the person named Xiao Lizi ran out quickly, and when he saw someone going out to report, Lu Zhaoting breathed a sigh of relief, what he was most afraid of was that they didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and it would be miserable to give him a soldering iron or a brush first.
In Qingfeng's study, Ji Sichen walked in with a smile, "Director, that Lu Zhaoting's psychological defense line has been completely destroyed, you can see him now!" ”
Qingfeng put down the book with a smile, "Then please ask this eldest prince Lu to come over." ”
