A big feast, for the quartermasters, no matter how good it is, it is nothing more than barely filling their stomachs. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info However, Liu Heng knew that the officials were Wendao monks, so he deliberately found a lot of mountain delicacies, among which the aura and the essence of heaven and earth made the officials feel comfortable, at least they felt Liu Heng's intentions.

At the banquet, the light was staggered, and the glasses of wine were intertwined, but the officials' minds were obviously not on the wine and food, and there was a verbal confrontation between talking and laughing, like swords and swords.

Some quartermasters and quartermaster adjutants, their official positions are not high, and the forces they represent are not strong, so they naturally know how to seize the opportunity, constantly find excuses to talk to Liu Heng, or explicitly or secretly mention military exploits.

For the dark one, Liu Heng only didn't understand it, and went over vaguely with haha. For those who said bluntly, Liu Heng replied, "The stakes are very high, and one person can't be the master", so he dealt with the past first, and didn't show face to anyone, nor did he give an accurate word.

can deal with it at the banquet, but it will be difficult to avoid it after the banquet, as the young envoy with the highest official position, Gai Xu left an order at the banquet, so that Liu Heng will come to his big tent later, so that Liu Heng will be difficult to refuse.

After the banquet, Liu Heng forced out his drunkenness slightly, pondered quietly for a while, and then stepped into the big tent.

"Your Excellency. ”

"Coming?"

Gai Xu put down the book in his hand and smiled at Liu Heng, "Sit down." ”

"Yes. Liu Heng put away the number of salutes and sat upright on a chair next to him.

After a moment of silence, Gai Xu spoke, "You should know the purpose of our people, right?"

Liu Heng's eyebrows lowered, "Please make it clear." ”

"You are an understanding person, and as far as I know, you should have some relationship with the Fourteenth Master, so you must have gotten the news a long time ago. Now that there are only the two of them in the big tent, Gai Xu became very straightforward when he spoke again, and said with a smile: "However, most of the forces of the Fourteenth Master are in the middle army with him, but you came to the right army, so it can be seen that the friendship with him is not very deep, but he also deliberately used a shadow for you, which makes me a little curious." ”

"Thanks to the wrong love of the fourteenth master, I have already been flattered. Having said that, Liu Heng is no longer sloppy, so he simply said calmly.

Gai Xu narrowed his eyes and asked in a condensed voice, "Don't blame me for asking more, what is the relationship between you and the Fourteenth Master?"

Since it involves Bai Fourteen, then there must be this question, Liu Heng also expected it, and said after hearing the words: "It's not a secret, the humble and the fourteenth master once met in a secret place, but it seems to have made a little friendship, so since joining the army, I have been taken care of by the fourteenth master." ”

Facing Gai Xu's forced gaze, Liu Heng's eyes were clear, and he didn't see the slightest flicker, just because what he said was the truth.

"Secret place?"

After a while, Gai Xu smiled, "This fourteenth master has always liked to be elusive, and he is the most scheming among all the masters. The Seventh Master once said that his temperament is like a poisonous snake, which always makes people uncomfortable, which is also the opinion of most people about the Fourteenth Master. ”

Liu Heng hugged his fists, but did not comment.

Gai Xu got up, stroked his long beard and slowly paced behind the table, "Head Jin is a cautious person, and he must be aware of the temperament of the Fourteenth Master, but he is not familiar with the Seventh Master, so I only advise you, don't rush to make a decision, take a look and understand more." ”

This is a kind reminder, but in it, Liu Heng also heard that kind of indifference and determination, and he was very confident.

"Thank you for the reminder. "In any case, Liu Heng naturally wants to thank him.

"The seventh master's personality, if you can find someone to inquire, you should know that the seventh master has the most refreshing personality among the masters, he has always liked to go straight, and he also loves to take the lead in the army, plus the mother family has some roots in the army, so compared to other masters, the seventh master is the one with the highest prestige in the army. Gai Xu said softly: "In the future, if Commander Jin still wants to go to the army, it will be of great benefit to choose the Seventh Master." ”

Liu Heng was silent, but he didn't want to answer.

Gai Xu waited for a moment and didn't hear Liu Heng's response, his eyes flashed slightly, and his smile faded, "That's all for today, it seems that it's useless to say more, it's better to leave it to Captain Jin to think about it himself, other things, in the future, Captain Jin has chosen it, and it's not too late for us to talk about it." Looking outside the tent, the two deputy envoys were already impatient, and the official would not keep you. ”

Liu Heng smiled, got up and saluted respectfully: "Resignation." ”

"Walk slowly, I won't be far away. ”

Seeing Liu Heng walk out of the big tent, Gai Xu retracted his deep gaze, returned to the main seat and sat quietly for a while, and shook his head with a sudden chuckle, "Sure enough, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and he really dares to sell it at a price." ”

"Head Jin, do you want to go to my family Lord Zhao first, or do you want to go to Lord Hua first?" The little official sent by Zhao Zhen was quite eye-catching, and when he saw Liu Heng walking out of the big tent, he greeted him, "Lord Zhao said, it doesn't matter where Head Jin goes first, he has been waiting for you." ”

The little official sent by Hua Baidu hurriedly said: "My family said the same thing. ”

Liu Heng didn't care about the two people who were secretly different, and said with a little mutter: "Lord Zhao is my boss, I should go to meet Lord Zhao first, please wait for the little brother, let me go to see Lord Zhao and follow you to see Lord Hua." ”

This is a good remark, but it is based on the old feelings, which is reasonable and reasonable, and neither side is offended. The two little officials were awe-inspiring, saluted in unison, and didn't dare to say more.

The tent of the young envoy Gai Xu and the two deputy young envoys were all adjacent to each other, but one to the left and the other to the right, slightly behind the Great Tent of Gai Xu. There is a small official in front of the way, to the left walked a few steps to the front of the Zhao pillow tent, he just saw the Zhao pillow in the tent, Zhao Zhen has been smiling and walking up quickly.

"Lord Zhao. ”

Without waiting for Liu Heng to see the salute, Zhao Zhen held his arms, and pretended to be displeased: "What is this doing, Captain Jin, I haven't seen him for half a year, why did he become so outside?"

He wanted to pretend to be close, Liu Heng also felt helpless, so he simply got up, Zhao Zhen smiled again, and looked Liu Heng up and down, "Okay, good, I really looked away before, but I didn't see that there were still generals like Jin Tuanchang hidden in a bunch of mediocre talents." ”

"Lord Shen has won the award. Liu Heng said modestly.

"Back then, those sons and brothers came, and I and Lord Wei Hua Ronghua were not optimistic, but one was bigger than the other, so I could only let them mess around. I thought back afterwards that the bad thing was that we were lucky at the time, and we really shouldn't have indulged them so much, which led to such a big defeat later, and I really regretted not doing it at the beginning. Zhao Zhen stared at Liu Heng, sighed abruptly, remembered the wrong thing at the beginning of the year, and sighed with remorse on his face.

It's time to get ready to play the emotional card.

Liu Heng knew it, but he had to cooperate with him to act, "The past is over, the matter has come to this, adults don't have to mind too much." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Zhen shook his head and sighed again and again, and at the same time pulled Liu Heng to sit down, putting on a posture of a long talk, "If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have had that big defeat, and we wouldn't have buried a general like Head Jin for so long." Fortunately, Captain Jin seems to be in a bag, no matter how he shows his talents, he can be regarded as having such military exploits, and Captain Jin can be regarded as having survived. ”

Even if he heard this kind of thing, Liu Heng would not take it seriously. Because anyone who gets such military feats, let alone Jin Lai, even Zhao Lai, Qian Lai, Sun Lai, and Li Lai can hear similar praise from Zhao Zhen, and vice versa, if there is no such military feat, how can Zhao Zhen know who Jin Lai is?

But speaking of which, Zhao Zhen's words are not wrong at all.

If you don't have a strong military feat, how can you afford such praise, how can you dare to be called a general, and why should Zhao Zhen look down on you?

So in the final analysis, striking iron depends on its own hardness, which is the right reason.

"It's just luck to be lowly and lucky, how dare you be worthy of the praise of adults. Liu Heng said with a smile.

"Hey, Captain Jin is just too humble, which is not good. Zhao Zhen said seriously, "It's also because I didn't have the ability to discern back then, otherwise I should have taken Commander Jin with me at that time and went to the army together, which would definitely have a better future than now." ”

"I dare to say that it was luck, if I had followed the adults at the beginning, I am afraid that I would not have been able to hit this military feat. Liu Heng simply made a joke.

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud very appropriately, "Don't say it, what Head Jin said is not unreasonable." As the saying goes, the times create heroes, if there is no fiasco at that time, maybe there will be no opportunity for the head of the gold group to show his talents, a drink and a peck, it is really wonderful. ”

Liu Heng also smiled: "My lord, Mingjian." ”

Recalling the past, just a few words really narrowed the distance, Zhao Zhen talked and laughed again, as if inadvertently led the topic to the right thing, "If I remember correctly, when Commander Jin joined the army in the past, he took the path of the Lu family in Zhanshan, right?"

"My lord was aware of everything, and I still felt strange at the time, why I had some festivals with the Lu family, but I was looked down upon by the Lu family, and I helped him with all his heart. It wasn't until later that I was fortunate enough to learn that the root was in the fourteenth master. Liu Heng knew what he really wanted to ask, and he didn't bother to waste time going around in circles with him, so he went straight to the point and repeated the excuses he had used in Gai Xu to Zhao Zhen again.

Zhao Zhen listened carefully, and then was full of emotion, and he didn't feel that he was acting at all, as if he really heard it for the first time, "I didn't expect that Head Jin would have such an opportunity, but it was because of fate that he would have a relationship with that master, and even made a friendship, so that he also looked at you so differently, it can be seen that Head Jin is indeed a person with real skills." ”

Liu Heng had to pretend to smile bitterly, "I only feel like I am in a dream, and I am still in a trance, I really think that this is probably a fool with a fool's luck." ”

"Haha, Head Jin is really good at talking, why should you be arrogant about a character like you. Zhao Zhen praised, and then his face gradually became solemn, "It's just that now, presumably Captain Jin should also find himself in danger, right?"

Liu Heng was silent.

"Why should a person who joins the army in white find a backer as soon as possible, this reason should be very clear to Commander Jin, it is nothing more than watching and helping each other, otherwise he will have you or not, and this will be inferior. Zhao Zhen continued: "Like Captain Jin, he has some friendship with the Fourteenth Master, but he is not in the middle of the army but on the side of the right army, which shows that this friendship is only dispensable, and I am afraid that I will not be able to keep Captain Jin at a critical time." In the eyes of each family, the head of the gold regiment is like a child crossing the street with a gold ingot, if he doesn't fight, he will cheapen others, and the situation is already very dangerous. ”

"For today's plan, the head of the Jin regiment knows that this gold ingot must be divided, and he should always ask for a strong enough guard. Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "Of course, a general like Commander Jin, with military merits, is very welcome to anyone, but it is much better than when he was white, and he can get more help and attention." ”

Liu Heng listened silently, and solemnly hugged his fists and said: "My lord is hardworking, and I am grateful in my heart. It's just that adults also know the current situation, and it's very difficult to be caught in the middle, so let me have some time to think about it, okay?"

Zhao Zhen's smile froze for a moment, then returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Understand and understand, shop around, it is a matter of future prospects, and it is not too much to be cautious for Head Jin." ”

He seemed to be very good at talking, so he was no longer persecuted, and then he sent Liu Heng out of the tent after a few words of laughter, and then said intentionally or unintentionally: "Finally, remind the head of the Jin regiment that it is better to make a decision early at a critical time, so as not to be selected in the end, but being regarded by the rest of the family as a person who does not know how to promote, I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses at that time." ”

Liu Heng paused, looked at Zhao Zhen for a moment, and then lowered his eyes and saluted, and said without humility or arrogance: "Thank you for mentioning it." ”

After that, he followed the little official sent by Hua Baidu and went to the big tent on the right without looking back, even if he clearly felt the cold gaze that had been coming from behind him, he didn't realize it.

When I arrived at Huabaidu's tent, the courtesy I received was completely different.

Hua Baidu sat behind the table, did not greet each other, did not invite to sit, did not raise his head, was still busy dealing with the copywriting piled up on the table, but opened his mouth lightly.

"I should tell you, the first two should have told you a lot, so I won't talk nonsense here. Seeing that you are young and proud, I will only say one thing, I am afraid that you do not know the sinister nature of the battle in the army. ”

Liu Heng stood in front of the desk, and there was a flash of light in his lowered eyes, "Please make it clear." ”

"There have always been only so many seats, and the wolves have more meat and less meat, so that the fighting and fighting of the army have never stopped. However, compared with the civilian side, the military is more direct and cruel, as long as you stand in line, don't want to stay out of the matter, many times it is life and death to judge the victory or defeat. If you don't want to stand in line, you can either stand on your own, or you will die the fastest. Hua Baidu spoke quickly, but without ups and downs, sounding old-fashioned to the point of weirdness, "You can be safe to this day, it is purely due to luck." You want to stand on your own, but now you are fledgling, and your strength is far from enough, so if you don't want to die, you have to stand in line. ”

He watched the fire very thoroughly, and at this moment, he was even more unscrupulous to point it out directly to Liu Heng.

"I don't know what kind of offer the other families will give you, I just say that the Jingjing Chu family I represent, if you want to survive this difficulty, you have to take out at least half of your military merits to share the profits with my Chu family. If you are sincere, considering the troubles you will have to resist, you give up the big head, and I will help you to explain to the Chu family and try my best to accomplish it. ”

Hua Baidu still hung his head, "But don't give you much hope, after all, the value you are currently revealing is far from being worthy of the Chu family's great strength to protect you, of course, everything depends on how the Chu family elders decide...... Do you understand?"

Liu Heng suddenly smiled, "My lord is so honest, I can't thank you enough." ”

"I've said everything I need to say, it's up to you to decide, go ahead. Hua Baidu commanded lightly, and never looked up at Liu Heng from beginning to end.

When Liu Heng walked out of the big tent in Huabaidu, the number of people waiting outside the tent did not decrease but increased, and nearly ten military officials had already gathered, and there was also an endless stream of military officials from all over the big tent, all of whom were sent by the quartermasters and quartermaster adjutants who invited Liu Heng to go to the meeting.
