Chapter 940: Rectifying the Chaos (3)
Liu Heng was stunned and opened his mouth to speak, but after a thought, he simply lowered his head and said no more.
"Since you are so confident, what else can you say? I will quietly watch what kind of play you will sing today! Don't try to teach me a lesson, but make a big fool!"
Anyway, he has made up his mind now, he doesn't fight or say much, and he looks on the sidelines to see what Liu Heng wants to do. He should take a good look, without his help, he wants to regain his prestige when he first arrives, is it a wish or a fool!
"If it gets out of control, it's useless to ask me to come out and reorganize the situation, don't blame ......me when the time comes."
With this thought in mind, he really didn't say more, lowered his head to lead the way, and was a conscientious living man.
Hearing that the general was preparing to make such a big move, Deacon Jiang also hurried over, and when he made it clear that it was really from the general's intention, he frowned slightly, but after all, he didn't say anything, and hurriedly took care of it.
Nowadays, it is a big business, and the banquet is not as casual as in the early years, and many of the furnishings and the order of the dishes, how to place the seats, what kind of tea to serve, and what kind of wine to open, it seems that they have all paid attention to it.
Liu Heng didn't intervene, and let Deacon Jiang arrange it, originally pinching the time to prepare to go to the door to greet the guests, who wanted a figure to stride over.
"Why did you suddenly think of such a play?"
It's Ho Bo!
Liu Heng's heart was hot, but his face did not show it, looking at He Bo was shocked and anxious, and continued to transmit: "At this critical juncture, even if you are anxious, you should consider it more and make a decision, is it really so anxious?"
In the words, Uncle He was full of anger, obviously wrong, it is estimated that he thought that "Liu Heng" had made up his mind and wanted to announce the alliance with the Liu family to everyone.
Facing Uncle He, Liu Heng just smiled, "Uncle He, don't be impatient, it's just a reminiscence." ”
"Just catching up?"
He Bo obviously didn't believe it, but he seemed to have no intention of persuasion at all, and snorted heavily, "Anyway, I'll say ugly things in front, if it's just reminiscence, then I won't say a word, if you have other thoughts, I will never watch you give this promise to others!"
After that, he found a seat for himself and sat down, closed his eyes with a cold face, and looked like no one should approach.
Liu Heng stared at him for a moment, and his smile became stronger, "I will bother Uncle He to take care of it here, and I will go to the gate of the mansion to greet the guests." ”
As soon as these words came out, there was silence all around, and countless eyes suddenly gathered, and even Uncle He couldn't help but open his eyes, revealing a look of surprise. Liu Heng knew that there must be something wrong with what he said just now, but he didn't care, and led Zhang He and "Liu Neng" to the mansion by himself.
"What's going on?"
After walking out for a while, Liu Heng asked.
Liu Heng's face flashed with a touch of unnaturalness, and said: "In the past two years, I have thought that Uncle He is getting older and can't bear to work for me anymore, so I assigned Uncle He a separate mansion, and most of the affairs of the Great General's Mansion have been handed over to Deacon Jiang. ”
Liu Heng glanced at him and didn't ask any more.
He actually drove He Bodu away from his side, which shows that Liu Heng's rebellion was not an overnight thing.
When I came to the gate of the house, the time was close to noon, and two chariots had arrived at the gate of the house, and two people in armor were standing outside the door, talking. As soon as the door of the mansion opened, the two were about to enter while talking and laughing, and when they saw Liu Heng, they were all shocked, and they looked at each other, seeing the suspicious looks in their eyes, but they still hurriedly hugged their fists and saluted first.
"Subordinates meet the general!"
Liu Heng walked towards him, and helped the two of them up with a smile, "Old Niu, Lu Chi, why are you getting more and more angry?"
When Liu Heng approached to help the two of them, he obviously felt that the male bodies of the two suddenly stiffened for a moment, as if he was quite uncomfortable with such a close move, and when he got up, he couldn't help but glance at each other quietly, and the suspicion in his eyes became more and more intense.
"General, why did you remember to catch up with us old guys today?"
Niu Ziaxe seemed to ask casually, but his ears were erected like Lu Chi, and he was clearly waiting for Liu Heng's response.
"Somehow last night, I remembered a lot of the past. Liu Heng sighed for a long time, "I always feel as if something big is going to happen, and I haven't gotten together to talk about it for a long time, so I thought about it, you don't think it's abrupt, right?"
"Where is it?" Lu Chi hurriedly smiled: "What the general said is that recently, everyone has been either busy with drills or busy relocating displaced people, and it is true that they haven't been together for some days. ”
Niu Ziaxe's face had a complicated look that flashed away, but he said with a smile: "The general wants to have a treat, who dares to refuse?"
The three of them stood in front of the mansion and laughed, and they quickly lost their rustiness on the surface, and they regained the feeling of familiarity, but Liu Heng knew in his heart that the two of them didn't know what they were thinking about. For example, between talking and laughing, the two of them were always spying on the true purpose of Liu Heng's banquet, intentionally or unintentionally, and obviously didn't believe that this meal was really just a reminiscence.
As it was close to noon, the people who received the invitations came one after another, including Zhu Er, Da Si, Du Suji, Huang An, Huang Rushi, and Bai Mingze.
Zhu Er is still the same Zhu Er, but the eighteenth change of the female college is now wearing a female general's armor, and she looks more and more heroic and sassy, and her majesty is self-evident, and she is no longer the little girl who will tremble when she kills. As for the senior year, he is still the same, with an indifferent face, even in the crowd, he still looks like a lone eagle. Du Suji, Huang An, Huang Rushi, Bai Mingze, and even Lu Chi and Niu Ziaxe, the changes are not big or small, which makes Liu Heng feel familiar and unfamiliar.
It's hard to imagine that just these eight people have a powerful army of 10,000 people, and they have a decisive force in this Ten Days City.
"Yes, yes, everyone is here, let's go in together. Liu Heng looked around at everyone, and didn't seem to notice the small actions of their private communication, and invited everyone into the house with a smile.
Along the way, although the eight people had countless doubts about Liu Heng's banquet today, it was inconvenient to ask directly, and most of them knocked on the side, Liu Heng avoided answering, which made everyone feel more and more that the matter was not small.
"It's a mystery. Liu Heng, who is a living man, only has four words to comment on this, and he is more and more optimistic about Liu Heng's intentions today.
Since the name of today's banquet is to reminisce about the past, someone soon got up, "Speaking of the past, I was a general, to be honest, I didn't expect it when I took refuge back then, I still have such a scenery now!"
Lu Chi has always been a sleek person in Liu Heng's impression, and he was indeed the first one who responded to the scene. This man is the best at figuring out and drilling, and he is also extremely skillful in speaking, for example, this sentence is obviously flattering. Back then, he followed the commander of the Zhaozhong battalion, that is, Liu Zhansu, the heir of the Liu family, who was already the deputy of the Zhaozhong battalion, and now in the past, from the official position, he was only promoted from the deputy of the eight-rank battalion to the commander of the eight-rank battalion. This is equivalent to saying that he has not made much progress in a few years, and there is no difference between taking refuge in Liu Heng's side in the past and not taking refuge, where can we talk about "such scenery"?
However, everyone understands that this is where Lu Chi is smart, not only to praise and praise, but also to cleverly lead the topic to the point.
"What are you, I was just a regiment commander back then, and as soon as I led a group of recruits out of the city, I was intercepted and killed by Hu Gouzi. That battle was defeated and lost, my old cow was lucky, and he was pulled into the car by the general on the way to escape. Niu Ziaxe said angrily: "I am afraid that I never dreamed at that time that I could still be a guard captain from the seventh grade, and I could still be so majestic." ”
Zhu Er smiled when she heard this: "Brother Niu, what are you, I was just a little village girl at that time, and I didn't know anything about the world. But you and a group of ruffians came to kill the Tiger King in three or two clicks, and turned our life upside down. At that time, we had six holes and eighteen villages, and there was no one who was not afraid, who knew that later, a woman like me, also became a soldier ruffian, and also became the head of a soldier ruffian, wouldn't I even more unexpectedly?"
She said something funny, which made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere became more relaxed and pleasant.
If you want to say that the biggest change in life is really this legendary "head of a ruffian". In her early years, she was a delicate Orion girl like a little pepper, all because of meeting Liu Heng and others, her fate has changed dramatically. In just three or four years, she has become a battalion commander, with thousands of proud soldiers under her command, and she is already a famous female general in Daxia and Northern Hudu.
When it comes to the past, whether the eight people open their mouths or not, they inevitably have a look of reminiscence on their faces. After all, everything they have now can be said to have been obtained by life and death under the leadership of Liu Heng back then, these things, even if they have not changed in the past many years, if there were no things back then, how could they be now?
In retrospective of these things, there are always a lot of things worth taking out and saying, and people are aroused to talk about sex, so when He Bo looked back in the hospitality hall, he saw the scene where everyone was talking and laughing and stepping into it together.
He Bo raised his eyebrows, and there was no lack of exclamation in his astonishment, "I don't know how long I haven't seen anything like this." ”
It seems that since the boy has never returned, when everyone is busy with various matters in the Ten Days City, they have gradually become separated from each other unconsciously, and it is becoming more and more difficult to see such a mingling appearance.
Eight outsiders, plus He Bo and Liu Heng, can sit at a whole table. Perhaps because of the lively conversation, everyone naturally gathered at one table, and let the accompanying subordinates go to other tables. Deacon Jiang had prepared well, and before the people sat down, the pre-dinner pastries were already on the table, the maids shuttled through them like butterflies, and the steaming and fragrant hot dishes followed.
"Come!"
Waiting for the maids to pour wine for everyone, Liu Heng took the lead in raising a glass, "This first glass of wine, respect the past!"
"To the past!"
Everyone responded in unison, raised their glasses and shouted, and then did it together.
Immediately afterwards, the maids poured wine for everyone again, and Liu Heng raised his glass again, "The second glass of wine, salute this time!"
"Respect this time!"
In the past, everyone was successful in the present, and now there is fate to sit at the same table and drink together, which is indeed worth toasting again.
"The third glass of wine. Liu Heng paused, then raised his glass and said, "Respect for the future!"
At this time, everyone woke up from their emotions, and faintly sensed that the general meant something, but they still couldn't figure out the deep meaning, and they couldn't help but refuse at the moment, and they raised their glasses in response while thinking eagerly, "Respect for the future!"
There are reasons for respecting the past and respecting the present, but the third cup of respect for the future, whether this is just for correspondence, or indicates the intention of today's banquet, this is naturally thought-provoking.
Especially in the past two years, the general has always behaved like a different person, and a strange idea pops up from time to time, and no one dares to take it lightly.
"General, we can figure it out when we respect the past and at this time, but what is the reason for this respect in the future, we elm heads don't understand, and we ask the general to give advice. With this, Du Suji asked with a grin.
"Looking back on the past, looking at this time, we naturally have to continue to look at the future, so look at it, isn't it better for us to cross over? Just for this, isn't it worth celebrating a cup together?" Liu Heng snorted, "Come on, come on, freshly made things are the best, hurry up and move the chopsticks, it's not the taste when it's cold!"
Seeing that Liu Heng was reluctant to talk deeply, he beckoned everyone to dine, but everyone couldn't ask again, so they could only respond. With their identity, there is no shortage of these food and clothing on weekdays, and with their own thoughts, no matter how delicious the wine and food are, they naturally can't taste good or bad.
On the surface, everyone was still talking and laughing, secretly meeting eyes, or taking the time to communicate with each other, and they had already been busy. However, there was too little information to help them analyze anything, so no matter how they discussed and guessed, they were still at a loss, so they could only wait for Liu Heng to uncover the mystery by himself.
Half an hour later, the banquet came to an end, and more and more people put down their chopsticks and drank tea and waited. This appearance seemed to have finally reminded Liu Heng and reminded him of the right thing, "You should have all heard about it, the battle for the crown prince is about to start, and the heirs of the royal families from all parties are vying for the end, and they are all busy trying to win the capital when they participate in the competition in the future." ”
said that it was a question, but Liu Heng's tone was extremely affirmative, so without waiting for anyone to answer, he smiled to himself: "Our Ten Days City, we haven't made a choice yet, and we have already become a sweet spot in the eyes of all parties, and there must be many people who are tempted by our Ten Days City, and they are willing to spend a lot of money." I just want to ask you, do you think it's better to sell at a price and try to sell the Decameron City at a good price, or should you ignore these disputes and go your own way?"
This made everyone's expressions serious, because it was very involved, and no one dared to speak rashly, so it was cold for a while.
Liu Heng simply broke the deadlock with a smile, "It's just a casual conversation today, what to say, it doesn't matter, I just want to hear what each of you thinks about this matter...... No one wants to speak first, right, then I'll take the roll call, Lu Chi!"
Lu Chi's expression froze, his eyes showed bitterness, and he finally didn't dare to contradict it, and said: "Subordinate, subordinate, subordinate hasn't thought about these things......"
"It's okay, anyway, now that it's said, you can say whatever comes to your mind now. Liu Heng didn't give him a chance to shirk at all, and continued to smile and say, forcing him to continue.
As everyone knows, this surprised everyone, and they felt that today's general was obviously different from the past, and he was unabashed, and he showed his determination, even if his words were aggressive.
