"Zhang Cheng, I have met Deputy General Lin and Deputy General Zhang."
Zhang Cheng, Li Jianming, and Wen Hui exchanged a few words of greeting, and then came over to greet the two deputy commanders-in-chief, Lin Dengyou and Zhang Guowei.
Lin Dengyou, who is in his fifties, has a slightly rich figure and wears loose uniforms. He looks very amiable and amiable: "Hey, this is not a small wine jar in Xuanzhen, he is a general!"
Everyone laughed loudly. Zhang Guowei was tall and a little more powerful. He was also in regular clothes and fit well. He came closer and said to Zhang Cheng: "Zhang Cheng, when are you going to Shangbei Road?"
Zhang Cheng was also speechless and laughed. What kind of weirdo was this meow's predecessor? He was twenty-two years old and still hadn't married. He drank every day to have fun and made trouble with prostitutes. Even his nickname was so unique.
earthen jar?
Amidst bursts of laughter, the generals took their seats. Yang Guozhu naturally sat at the head of the chairman's chair, and Zhang Guowei was pulled by him to sit at the head of the guest seats. Today's banquet was originally for Zhang Guowei to practice, and he will leave to return tomorrow.
Yongning City.
The two of them sat in the two most distinguished seats, with their backs against the screen wall of the West Flower Hall. These were the two main seats tonight. Another deputy commander, Lin Dengyou, sat in the third seat.
The two deputy generals sat at the second and third seats respectively, and no one had any objections. However, Yang Guozhu asked Zhang Cheng to sit at the fourth seat, right between him and Lin Dengyou.
Although Zhang Cheng is now a third-rank guard commander, and is higher in rank than Li Jianming and Wen Hui, who are both guerrilla generals, but in terms of age, he is far behind.
Li Jianming and Wen Hui were unconvinced, but they didn't say much. They just accepted it silently. However, Guo Yingxian was not happy, so he shouted: "This is nonsense, we are not next to each other, and we drink too much."
It’s so strenuous…”
…………
"Yang Shuai, brother, I would like to toast my old brother with a glass of wine. Now that I have become the King of Guards, Yang Shuai will promote the town and show my prestige." Zhang Guowei raised his glass and said in return after Yang Guozhu toasted with wine.
Yang Guozhu sat there steadily and said: "Well, you can't talk about the country's prestige like that. This time I declare the town is indeed to promote the prestige of the capital, and it is indeed the merit of one loyal person. I don't dare to be greedy."
Zhang Cheng sat aside and said hurriedly after hearing this: "Thanks to Yang Shuai's might, we and King Qin have made some small achievements."
"Ha ha……"
Yang Guozhu said with a smile: "Zhongchen, don't be humble. If you can get the title from Governor Lu, you are still the only person in our Xuanzang Town. Now when we enter the guard, we will shoot Dorgon with arrows and kill Nama Zhanhe."
Yue Tuo, I dare not covet your military achievements."
Amidst the laughter, everyone picked up their wine cups and drank them all together.
A group of military generals were changing glasses from one cup to another. At first, there were some rules, but the more wine they drank, the more they stopped following the rules. Zhang Guowei came over, took Zhang Cheng's hand, and said, "Zhang Guowei will go to the north in the future."
If there is a need along the way, my brother will definitely support you. Go ahead with confidence and boldness. With Yang Shuai and me here in Xuanzhen, there will be no change..."
At the banquet that night, Zhang Guowei and Zhang Cheng were undoubtedly the protagonists, and they both had the surname Zhang. After having a good meal and wine, Zhang Guowei even pulled Zhang Cheng, insisting that he and Zhang Cheng should be in the same sect, and that they should be considered brothers in terms of age.
.
Zhang Cheng didn't take it seriously, it was just a drinking party, but he didn't expect that during this drinking party, he would definitely recognize a deceitful big brother.
When the banquet was in full swing, Guo Yingxian couldn't help it anymore. He grabbed Zhang Cheng and stopped letting go. He clinked glasses and cheered again and again. Even Yang Guozhu couldn't stand it. He tried to persuade him, but to no avail. He could only shake his head and ignore it.
The banquet didn't end until Haishi. Fortunately, Lin Fangping and the other guards were on duty and had not touched any alcohol. They protected Zhang Cheng, who was already a little dizzy. When they returned to Zhang Yan's mansion, Chen Zhong was already there.
Waiting in front of the door for a long time.
…………
On the second day at Mao hour, Zhang Cheng woke up from thirst. He did not greet anyone else, but sat down in front of the wooden table in the room, picked up the herbal tea on the table, and started to drink it himself.
After drinking a few cups of herbal tea, his feeling of thirst subsided a little, so he sat on a chair and began to ponder, how should he go in the future?
First of all, it is necessary to get a wife and get married. You are already twenty-three years old. If you don't get a wife and start a family, you will be regarded as someone else, which will be detrimental to your future.
Marrying a wife as soon as possible and giving birth to a son as soon as possible will help your future!
Secondly, go to Shangbei Road as soon as possible. Regardless of whether this step is right or wrong, you have to go for it. No matter what, it is much easier to get around than this town, and the various intricate connections are much simpler.
After drinking some tea, he was no longer so thirsty. The sky outside had become a little brighter. He put on a cloak and stepped outside, blowing in the spring breeze. He felt that the drunkenness had dissipated, and his thoughts became clearer.
…………
At Chenshi, he had breakfast with his mother and aunt, and chatted for a while. It was nothing more than some content about Zhang Cheng's marriage, which he left to his mother and aunt.
He believed that his mother would not deceive his son, but his request did not change at all. In any case, before the marriage was confirmed, Zhang Cheng insisted on seeing it with his own eyes before agreeing.
This first wife, he doesn't want to marry an ugly person!
Although you can still have concubines in the future, you still have to be pleasing to your wife. Haha, even though you are a human being for the second time, your temperament of liking beautiful women has not changed at all.
After bidding farewell to his mother, Zhang Cheng returned to the front yard. Chen Zhong had been waiting here for a long time. Seeing Zhang Cheng approaching from a distance, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "General, Diao Dacheng has arrived and is waiting in the hall on the left."
Zhang Cheng stopped showing off. Accompanied by Chen Zhong, he went straight to the left side hall.
"Master General, is such a gangster worth using?"
"Oh, you don't understand this. Everyone has his own value. There are some things that are inconvenient for you and me to do, but it is perfectly normal for Diao Dacheng to do it. I want him to be my
A donkey, a donkey like a dog!"
"A donkey like a dog?"
"Yes, you have to help me bite people! Hahaha..."
…………
"Diao Dacheng, how many gangsters do you have under your command now?"
In the east side hall, Zhang Cheng sat on the big chair at the main seat and asked in a deep voice.
Diao Dacheng, who was sitting in the lower right position, replied respectfully: "Back to General, it turns out there were about thirty people. I was killing them these days, and they all dispersed, dispersed..."
"Diao Dacheng, what industries do you own now?"
This question made Diao Dacheng break into a cold sweat. Although he said nicely the night before yesterday, he was willing to give up all his family property and join Zhang Cheng's disciples, but if Zhang Cheng really wanted him to do this, it would be extremely painful for him.
The trembling Diao Dacheng replied: "Back to the general, I have two properties in my hands, one for a wine shop, one for a gambling house, and one for farmland..."
