Here, Sun Dashan saw Zhao Shihu holding the bowl and drinking up all the wine. How could he show weakness? He also raised his neck and drank up the strong wine in the bowl in two gulps.
His alcohol swelled up even more violently than Zhao Shihu's. Not only was his face flushed, but his eyes were also red. He lowered his head in an instant and forced himself to endure it.
Zhang Cheng drank up the strong liquor in the bowl. He still drank it all in one gulp. He opened his mouth and breathed out the smell of alcohol "hissing, hissing". He even opened a bottle of wine. When he turned his head, he saw Sun Dashan's mouth.
It swelled up, and then he swallowed it back.
Zhang Cheng knew that the two men were unprepared and drank the bowl of strong wine on an empty stomach. At this critical moment when heaven and man were struggling, he saw that Chen Zhong was just tasting it as usual and had no reaction.
Then he turned to Chen Zhong and said, "Give them both a bowl of chicken soup. First, suppress the smell of alcohol. Then give them each a piece of chicken. Choose the one with chicken skin. It doesn't have any meaty smell. It won't be able to suppress the strong alcohol."
The old man Chang Tianshun next to him also opened his mouth and breathed out the smell of alcohol. He held the wine bottle, leaned over to fill Zhang Cheng up again, and said: "General, you have such a good drinker. You are worthy of being a true hero who killed slaves on the battlefield! Come on, old man.
I offer a bowl to General Zhang alone."
At this time, Zhang Cheng was also suppressing the overwhelming smell of alcohol in his stomach. He held the wine bowl with one hand, patted Chang Tianshun on the shoulder with the other hand, and shouted: "Come on, I, Zhang Cheng, will sacrifice my life to accompany you today."
Mr. Chang."
"Bang..."
Just when Zhang Cheng and Chang Tianshun were holding the wine bowls and about to go down hard, there was a loud noise and the hall of Shantang was knocked open by a brute force.
Everyone in the hall was stunned, this was so unexpected.
Chen Zhong immediately pulled out half of the saber. The bright saber reflected the candlelight and shone on Sun Dashan's face. Both he and Zhao Shihu stood up, holding the saber in their hands, but did not withdraw it immediately. Because they were standing
It was so violent that the seats were thrown backwards and they all fell to the ground.
Chang Tianshun over there was also stunned. Like Zhang Cheng, he was holding a wine bowl in his hand. When he saw the person coming in clearly, a surge of anger surged in his chest.
Zhang Cheng was startled at first, but he still insisted on sitting in the chair and did not get up. However, his other hand was also pressed on the edge of the table, so that he could bounce his body back at any time.
"thump!"
Before Zhang Cheng could see clearly, a strong man knelt down on the ground five steps away from the table. Only then did Zhang Cheng see clearly that the person kneeling in front of him was Chang Tianshun's third son, Chang Zhengbiao.
"Thump...thump..."
Two more people rushed into the hall. After entering, they knelt down directly behind Chang Zhengbiao and kowtowed repeatedly.
In the hall, everyone was shocked. They didn't know what the three people below were doing. Chang Tianshun shouted angrily and asked: "Zhengbiao, what are you doing?"
Seeing clearly that the person coming was Chang Zhengbiao, and that the other two were Chang Tianshun's two nephews, Chang Zhengfei and Chang Zhengcheng, Zhang Cheng sat firmly in his chair, still holding the wine bowl in his hand, but turned around.
He gave Chen Zhong a wink.
At first, Chen Zhong stared at the people who broke into the hall, and at the same time he kept looking at Chang Tianshun, Chang Zhengxiong, Chang Zhenghu and his son. After seeing the look Zhang Cheng gave him, he sat back and sat down.
On the chair, his hand still held the handle of the knife tightly.
On the side, Sun Dashan and Zhao Shihu also sat back in their chairs, holding the hilt of the knife in their hands, thinking they were on guard. Zhao Shihu was the most annoyed because he was the one who led Zhang Cheng to Changjiazhai. If something happened here, he would never be able to escape the involvement.
At this time, Chang Zhengbiao, who was kneeling in front of the table, spoke. He said: "General, Chang Zhengbiao is willing to follow the general to drive out slaves and bandits, fight on the battlefield, and make achievements. Please accept us, general!"
After saying that, he turned to Chang Tianshun and said: "Dad, Zheng Biao is unfilial. My child doesn't want to be stuck in this valley all his life. My child wants to go out and have some fun. Please forgive me, father."
Zhang Cheng smiled. It was an accident. He turned around and said softly to Chen Zhong: "Silly boy, put the knife away and drink."
He then turned his head again, looked sideways at Mr. Chang Tianshun and said, "Old man, what do you think this is?"
Chang Tianshun also looked confused. He stared at Chang Zhengbiao who was kneeling below him. Just as he was about to speak, his second son Chang Zhenghu came over. He reached out and held Chang Tianshun's arm and said softly: "Ah
Dad, just let San'er go."
Chang Tianshun turned to look at his second son, Chang Zhengbiao, and then at Chang Zhengxiong. He sighed and said, "Zhengbiao, you guys should leave first."
"Dad, please ask General Zhang to take us in. If he doesn't take us in, we won't go out and will die here on our knees."
Chang Zhengbiao knelt on the ground, motionless, but still spoke stubbornly.
Chang Tianshun knew that his youngest son had been pampered since he was a child and had a very stubborn temper. There was nothing he could do for the moment. If he continued, it might be even more embarrassing. He could only shamelessly say to Zhang Cheng: "General Zhang, my son has been a child since he was a child."
You are naughty and want to ask the general to teach the old man a lesson, but I wonder if the general will agree?"
Hearing this, Zhang Cheng put down the wine bowl he had been holding, and then said in a deep voice to Chang Zhengbiao who was kneeling below him: "Chang Zhengbiao, I will ask you first.
Our army is very difficult. Not only do we practice day and night, but we also have to follow military orders. If you violate the law even slightly, you may be beheaded with a military stick or beheaded if you violate it. Can you possibly defend it?"
Chang Zhengbiao was stunned. He looked up at Zhang Cheng and thought to himself: Didn't my father ask General Zhang to take us in? Why did he suddenly ask about what he said?
But he immediately figured out that this was General Zhang's intention to take him in, and he immediately replied loudly: "Chang Zhengbiao can defend him!"
"Although I am a strict general in running the army, it is still second to none. If you join our army, you must fight to be the first in every battle and must not retreat even a little. Do you dare?"
"Chang Zhengbiao has been hunting wolves and tigers since he was a child. He follows the general and strives to be the first in every battle without retreating."
"In battles on the battlefield, it is normal to be injured or disabled. Broken arms and legs are all common. Death is also normal. Aren't you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid!"
"Come, Chang Zhengbiao, drink up the bowl of wine in front of me!"
Without saying a word, Chang Zhengbiao stood up and walked forward, picked up the wine bowl that Zhang Cheng had just put down, and drank it all in one gulp. He drank too much, but he choked and coughed.
Zhang Cheng turned to look at Mr. Chang Tianshun again. Seeing that he was nodding towards him, he pointed to Chen Zhong beside him and said: "Okay, Chang Zhengbiao, after the banquet, you will be the subordinate of Mr. Chen Qian."
.”
"Yes, General Chang Zheng Biao Xie."
"Third brother, I...and I..."
"Third brother, and I..."
Suddenly, two urgent calls came from behind Chang Zhengbiao.
Chang Zhengbiao, who had already stood up, seemed to have remembered something. He knelt down again, kowtowed and said: "General, we have two younger brothers who also want to join the army. Please accept them, general."
Zhang Cheng looked at the scene in front of him and wanted to laugh in his heart, but he held it back and said: "If they can do what I just said just like you, then I will accept them all."
"If you can do it, you can definitely do it!"
Chang Zhengbiao agreed loudly, and the three of them got up from the ground, smiling happily and about to exit the hall.
"Stop, are you going to come in and go out casually?"
A majestic voice sounded, stopping Chang Zhengbiao and the other three who were about to exit.
