Amid Xia Houyuan's resentment, Zhang Fei's wedding was held as scheduled. Although there was a lot of dissatisfaction, Xia Houyuan still showed due etiquette and respected Zhang Fei at the wedding.
In fact, Xia Houyuan, who was originally preparing to take action before the wedding banquet, couldn't help but feel confused when he saw Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, Xu Chu, Hua Xiong and others who had brought all kinds of weapons into the wedding venue so aggressively.
As soon as he sank, his posture almost said directly, welcome to cause trouble, warmly welcome you to cause trouble, we are waiting for you to cause trouble.
Although he could send his daughter over, Xia Houyuan had already figured it out, but he was angry, so he planned to give Zhang Fei some color at the wedding. However, looking at the postures of Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong, it was clear.
Just be prepared to deal with the situation today.
Seeing that his brother Xia Houdun was surrounded by a circle of inner Qi, Xia Houyuan had no choice but to sit on the main seat and watch the ceremony. With the posture of these people today, if something really happened, they would definitely not be able to get off the stage, but it was okay
, if the martial arts one is not good, there will still be the literary one.
As the Hexin wine was served, a smile suddenly appeared on Xia Houyuan's face, and then he looked at Zhang Fei provocatively.
"Zhang Yide, as long as you don't spit out this Hexin wine and drink it properly, our Cao family and Xiahou family will recognize you as their son-in-law. If you change your color or vomit after drinking, Juan'er will still marry you.
But when the time comes, it will have nothing to do with our Xiahou family." Xiahou Yuan's sneer voice conveyed.
"Young men are still afraid of this? Not to mention bitter wine, even if it is poisonous, what can't I swallow if my inner energy is separated from my body?" Zhang Fei sneered and sent a message to Xia Houyuan.
The Hexin wine was brought up, one black and one white. Zhang Fei picked up the black half silently. The smell that came from afar made everyone who was blessing feel a bitter taste.
Zhang Fei drank it slowly with a smile on his face. Chen Xi, Fazheng and other onlookers were all dumbfounded, while Xia Houyuan and Xia Houdun also looked in disbelief. Although this wine is not poisonous, it can make Xia Houyuan
This is not an ordinary wine.
This was the coptis gall wine that Xia Houyuan had prepared for this day. It was so bitter that when Xia Houyuan dipped a little of it on his finger and licked it, his whole face was distorted, but Zhang Fei actually drank it with a smile on his face.
"How? I, Zhang Yide, am the unbeatable winner." Zhang Fei's slightly arrogant voice was conveyed to Xia Houyuan. Xia Houyuan looked at Zhang Fei and didn't know what to answer. He actually had such a firm will, as strong as steel, and even his expression did not change.
"Brother, help me, dip some of the Hexin wine into me." Xia Houyuan sent a message to Xiahou Dun, and then Xiahou Dun gave Xia Houyuan a little bit.
Looking at the admiration of a true man, his face does not change.
Zhang Fei had developed a sense of taste in the evening, and his whole face was distorted. At this time, he could still feel such pain, which shows how crazy Xia Houyuan was.
"Juan'er, your clan father was crazy before," Zhang Fei said with a twisted face.
"Well, didn't I ask you to replace that bitter wine? And you have to call him daddy, or father-in-law." Xia Houjuan persuaded, because Xia Houyuan was always angry, so Xia Houjuan found the jar of bitter wine when he was looking around.
, you will know what Xia Houyuan wants to do after just a little thought.
After taking a sip, Xia Houjuan almost vomited out the bile. At that time, Xia Houjuan decided to inform Zhang Fei that this thing was not for people to drink at all. If he used it to make Hexin wine, Zhang Fei would vomit on the spot, and then he would be embarrassed.
After Zhang Fei received the news, his first reaction was that he was not afraid of bitterness and that he didn't need to worry about the bitter wine. However, Xia Houjuan warned him repeatedly. In order to avoid Xia Houjuan's worry, Zhang Fei hesitated and went to Hua Tuo, who made it casually.
After taking some medicine, Zhang Fei clearly understood that bitter wine can be so bitter that it can make people look distorted.
On the spot, Zhang Fei hurriedly asked Hua Tuo if there was any solution. Hua Tuo gave Zhang Fei a knife and the problem was solved instantly. For things like bitterness, it would be easiest to cut the taste nerve.
"That's good, but whatever you eat today will tasteless." Hua Tuo replied while preparing the medicine, "This is the most suitable way to leave the inner Qi in the body. With your physical condition, although I have removed part of the taste nerve
, but you will grow naturally by night."
"Oh, it doesn't taste good. It's okay. It's okay. I'm relying on drinking today." Zhang Fei said nonchalantly. It would be weird if he had to eat like crazy today and lie down without drinking.
After using this trick, Zhang Fei was no longer afraid of hardship, so he didn't even change his drink.
"If you replace it, wouldn't it become a lie? No matter what, I can't make you lose face in front of my brother-in-law, no matter what, I have to make you raise your head in front of them." Zhang Fei swallowed his saliva and said, on the one hand, he was bitter.
, on the one hand, it is also the tenderness of Xia Houjuan’s smile under the red candle.
The next day, Zhang Fei and Xia Houjuan came to visit his aunt. To put it bluntly, they were going back home. Xia Houjuan's side was quite harmonious. Although it was a bit embarrassing, Zhang Fei's side was on his father-in-law's side in a few moments.
Xia Houyuan.
"What kind of wine did you give me yesterday? Why is my mouth still bitter now?" After Zhang Fei completed the due etiquette, he immediately pointed at Xia Houyuan and said.
"Don't care what kind of wine it is, just drink it with a smile on your face yesterday. I respect you as a man." Xia Houyuan said expressionlessly. He had dipped his fingers into it and tasted it several times since yesterday.
times, and each time it ended with a twisted expression of extreme pain.
The bitterness is simply despairing. It is indeed the essence extracted from gall fried into juice, crushed coptis and mixed with each other, and then mixed with wine to dissolve it. It is so bitter that it is despairing.
Xia Houyuan prided himself on being strong-willed. He could definitely drink the gourd of bitter wine at that time, but his face would definitely be distorted, and the bitterness was simply unbearable.
At that time, Zhang Fei actually drank it with a smile on his face, as if it was not bitter wine. If Xia Houyuan hadn't taken a little bit of the bitter wine from the gourd and took a sip, Xia Houyuan would have suspected that Zhang Fei had cheated.
However, Zhang Fei is so arrogant. Although Xia Houyuan has always been unhappy with Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei's calmness and slightly arrogant smile yesterday were all achieved with his steely will. Even Xia Houyuan had to be convinced.
.
I also have to admit that Xia Houjuan's vision is indeed much better than his.
"You're a tough guy, don't tell me." Zhang Fei slapped his chest muscles loudly and looked like he wanted to fight Xia Houyuan. However, Xia Houjuan grabbed his left hand and glanced at Zhang Fei dissatisfied.
Then he obediently started to salute again.
"Dad, don't mind. He has been like this since last night, but I have tasted that wine and it is really bitter." Xia Houjuan explained to Xia Houyuan with a low eyebrow.
"Okay, Zhang Yide is considered a good match. Dad will have no control over you anymore. If you have anything to do with him, Zhang Yide, can you guarantee it?"
Zhang Fei is regarded as a son-in-law.
"I am a member of the old Zhang family, and you still need to talk to me!" Zhang Fei said, staring at Xia Houyuan.
"Juan'er, if this barbarian doesn't treat you well, come back. Xiahou's family will always be your home." Xiahou Yuan sighed as he looked at his only daughter, who was also an adopted daughter.
"Huh." Zhang Fei shook his head and said nothing, while Xia Houjuan's eyes were a little red.
"Okay, okay, Juan'er, go see your elder brother, Zhang Yide and I have something to say." Xia Houjuan hesitated a little, but seeing Zhang Fei's look, he slowly backed out.
By the time Xia Houjuan and Xia Houba finished talking, Zhang Fei was already waiting for her in the yard.
"Did you have any conflict with dad?" Xia Houjuan asked slightly nervously.
"No, I'm telling the truth." Zhang Fei comforted him, and Xia Houjuan was obviously relieved.
"You just told me something. Okay, let's go home." Zhang Fei, who had shaved off his beard and seemed to be in much better spirits, smiled cheerfully and pulled Xia Houjuan onto the carriage.
After that, the Xiahou brothers took Cao Ang around Ye City, and the more they walked around, the more Xiahou brothers became sad. Cao Ang, a second generation who had only experienced the war a little, couldn't see the difference between Liu Bei's soldiers and Cao Cao's soldiers, but the Xiahou brothers
It has been through war.
Naturally, both of them knew very well that all these hundreds of thousands of troops had experienced war, and they were even elite troops with talents.
By the time Lu Su's wedding banquet started, Liu Bei's costume change had come to an end. The melee soldiers put on different colors of armor according to different types. Of course, some special regiments were also painted in different colors due to their own preferences.
For example, according to Chen Xi's idea, the Xiliang cavalry originally had black armor, red ties, and a red cloak. It looked black and red, which was in line with the Han Dynasty's soap color, black aesthetics, the color of the empire, and the empire's
Elite core.
As a result, Hua Xiong decisively requested to change to black, black helmet, black armor, black thread, spare black gloves, black leather boots, black cloak, black vest, and finally the long spear, saber and ring-head sword were all changed to black.
And looking at Hua Xiong's posture, if it weren't for the difficulty of having a pure black war horse, Hua Xiong would probably have to change his war horse to pure black, but given the current situation, it would not be difficult to change it to pure black.
In the same way, Zhao Yun's leather armor was also painted white, while Yu Jin's leather armor was all painted red. In short, all the good legions were painted in various messy colors.
"Now I really don't understand why Ziyi's legions even have their armored boots painted gold." Chen Xi looked helplessly at the gold-like color of the local tycoon, but having said that, in ancient times, China made a lot of this color.
"Don't you think this looks very dazzling?" Taishi Ci said with a smile, "We are naval forces. When we appear, we cannot hide. When we hide, no ship can find us. In this case, we
There is no need to consider concealment at all, what we need to consider is morale!"
After each legion finished changing their uniforms, the Xiahou brothers became more and more silent. Liu Bei's war potential had already frightened them.
"Is this Lieutenant Liu's army? They didn't try their best before, right?" Xia Houyuan said with a wry smile. Although the military parade had not started yet, the legions gathered together, but the uniform uniforms, standard weapons and armor,
Xia Houyuan and others felt heavy pressure.
"What nonsense are you talking about? We didn't change our clothes before." Chen Xi said with a smile, while Ma Chao and Xiahou Ba on the side were almost drooling. As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. After an elite regiment completed changing clothes, the elite army
All aspects of Qi and Shen have been greatly improved.
Therefore, whether it is Ma Chao or Xiahou Ba, when thinking about the soldiers they lead, they really have to compare and compare. It seems that no matter how they compare from all aspects, the boundless sea of soldiers in front of them looks more terrifying. It is simply a multi-angle view.
Crushing in all directions.
"How many troops and weapons and equipment have you prepared?" Xiahou Dun looked at the gray-yellow-painted Zang Ba Army marching neatly below, with envy on his face. Although the color was terrible, if he could, he would
I also hope that I can lead such an elite team with complete armor.
"Prepared one million in advance, hahahaha." Chen Xi said arrogantly. At this time, there is nothing to be afraid of if he shows his trump card openly.
"One million..." Ma Chao's eyes almost burst with lightning, "Give me some, I don't want more, I just want armor, boots, spare gloves, weapons, etc. I don't need them. Give me five thousand sets."
Ah, for the sake of our fellow ministers..."
At this moment, Ma Chao almost hugged Chen Xi's thigh. In fact, it wasn't just Ma Chao who wanted to hug, Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ang, and Xiahou Ba might have hugged Chen Xi's thigh now if they didn't know that hugging Chen Xi's thigh was meaningless.
"Go, go, let's go." Chen Xi pushed the shy-faced Ma Chao away. The well-trained elite troops outside did look very exciting, but it wasn't the main event yet. It was time for the military parade. Everyone
Only people will understand what it means to be strong.
Now we are looking at tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of elites in bits and pieces. Compared with the simple 300,000 elites who just drove past at that time, it is definitely enough for the people participating to understand the huge difference between the two sides.
Although a wave of 300,000 people might take a day, this wave is entirely to let the other party feel the huge gap between the two sides. Except for some special legions that are meant to show off, other legions only use
It is enough for those who come to watch to feel the gap like a chasm.
Anyway, what Chen Xi meant was that 5,000 elite soldiers should be formed into a square formation of 60, and they should march neatly across the rectangle one by one.
There is no need to do extra moves at all. If you want to play on high difficulty, just look at people like Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Hua Xiong. As for the regular elite troops, they are pulled out just to let the opponent understand the gap. Simply drive over them with squares.
alright.
The simpler and more intuitive it is, the more effective it is. After all, if it’s too fancy and fancy, and others can’t understand it, wouldn’t it just be displayed in vain?
"Hey, hey, you are too stingy. You have one million pieces of armor and equipment, but you are reluctant to give me even 5,000 pieces. You are really a stingy man." Ma Chao looked at Chen Xi dissatisfied and said.
"Just wait, you will come back sooner or later, but there is definitely not now." Chen Xi glanced at Ma Chao and said, and then inadvertently caught a glimpse of a guy riding Feihuang out of the corner of his eye. He was immediately stunned. Sun Ce is really bold.
"By the way, I saw your brother."
As Chen Xi said this, he stayed away from Ma Chao and moved naturally towards Tai Shi Ci. When he was in Northern Xinjiang, he saw a lot of how Sun Ce greeted Ma Chao. Of course, he also saw a lot of how Ma Chao greeted Sun Ce. He was
It would be bad if these two things were affected.
"My brother? Where, where?" Ma Chao glanced left and right, but before he could find the other party, the others saw a sudden burst of yellow light shooting behind Ma Chao from a distance, and then Sun Ce punched him. He suddenly reacted and turned around to look.
To Ma Chao behind him.
At that moment, Chen Xi clearly saw Sun Ce's arrogant smile as he hit Ma Chao on the left face with his right fist. Ma Chao's head began to fall back, and then his whole body was like a cannonball, spinning and rushing backwards from the city wall.
It flew towards the sky, the strong acceleration even tore through the sound barrier, and the huge power carried Xiahou Ba flying along with it.
"Hoo ho ho, as expected, with Fei Huang, he can run much faster." Sun Ce looked proudly at Ma Chao, who was still spiraling into the sky with a proud look on his face.
"Sun Bofu, you bastard!" Ma Chao was forced to spiral up into the sky. After he stabilized his body, he looked at Sun Ce below and roared immediately.
"I haven't seen you for a few months, and you've already become like this." Sun Ce said arrogantly, "I've become stronger."
"I'm going to kill you!" Ma Chao whistled, and flying sand flew instantly. Ma Chao mounted his horse and turned into a purple-blue electric light. He collided with Sun Ce who suddenly accelerated and turned into golden light. The two sides were still in disbelief.
On par with each other.
"I didn't expect you to reach this level?" Ma Chao looked at Sun Ce in disbelief. Thinking about how hard he had endured, being beaten in various ways, and even struck by lightning, but now he was on par with Sun Ce, Ma Chao simply couldn't bear it.
.
"Is the inner energy separated from the body to the extreme?" Sun Ce looked at Ma Chao and said with a smile, "It's hard to believe? Let me tell you, I'm not close to full strength yet."
"It sounds like I'm trying my best." Endless electric sparks erupted from Ma Chao's body. He was like a god of thunder coming to the world. He attacked Sun Ce at an even more alarming speed, suppressing Sun Ce for a moment.
.
Then Sun Ce did not dodge and Ma Chao began to fight each other. After a stick of incense, both of them were beaten into pig heads, and then rolled down each other with difficulty. If not for the armor, Chen Xi could not tell who was who.
.
"Hey, Sun Bofu, are you here alone? Does your Gongjin trust you?" Chen Xi looked curiously at Sun Ce, who was lying on the wall and groaning, and asked.
"Hmph, of course I came alone." Sun Ce said proudly.
Chen Xi looked at Sun Ce speechlessly. Chen Xi was not surprised if Sun Bofu did anything second-rate. Chen Xi was only surprised when Sun Ce committed a second-rate crime. What was Zhou Yu doing this time?
While Chen Xi was thinking about what Zhou Yu was doing, Zhou Yu was being fooled by Lu Jun.
Because it was Liu Bei who invited the princes to watch the military parade, so if nothing happened and there was no grudge, theoretically it would give him face.
Of course, people like Cao Cao and Sun Ce usually don't have to come in person, but Zhou Yu looked at the situation and realized that leaving Sun Ce idle was not a good thing, so he sent Sun Ce to watch the military parade. After all, the invitation written by Liu Bei himself would not be a slap in the face.
Besides, even if it was a slap in the face, Sun Ce had risen to prominence and was very strong. He could run away in seconds, so there was no need to worry. Zhou Yu also wanted to buy some boats from the Lu family to make preparations for going south. Later, he learned that Lu
Su wanted to get married, so he asked Sun Ce to go early.
After all, the relationship between Zhou Yu and Lu Su is relatively reliable. Although they each have their own masters, they have a good personal relationship, so they calculated the time and asked Sun Ce to come early. As for Zhou Yu, he first went to the Lu Family Shipyard to buy some boats for his trip south.
Be prepared and will come later.
Lu Jun warmly entertained Zhou Yu, and then said that he wanted a ship, no problem, a fifth-generation ship, ah, why are you still using a fifth-generation ship now? I recommend you to use a seventh-generation ship. Look at the seventh-generation ship just now, what paper?
If you don’t believe the data, I’ll show you the real thing.
Zhou Yu felt an inexplicable shock in his heart when he saw Taishi Ci's Xingbahao.
"Is this boat also for sale?" Zhou Yu looked at the Xingba and looked at Lu Jun in surprise.
"Sell it, you will sell it as soon as it is built." Lu Jun is an honest man and does not talk nonsense in this regard.
"Are you sure?" Zhou Yu stared at Lu Jun, who nodded, "But you need to wait. The investment for the seventh-generation ship is relatively large, and the construction period is relatively long. If you want it, you need to wait."
"Then I still want fifth-generation ships. Are there any sixth-generation ships?" Zhou Yu rejected it directly. Then he thought, since seventh-generation ships are sold, sixth-generation ships must also be sold, so he added another sentence.
"The sixth-generation ships are out of stock. There are many people who have ordered them. There are no ready-made products. There are still some fifth-generation ships. If you want them, I can sell them to you. In fact, I recommend you to buy the seventh-generation ships. Although the actual combat power of this Xingba is not
It’s just as powerful as five or six sixth-generation ships, but it can turn the tables in certain wars.” Lu Jun continued to tout his seventh-generation ships in an attempt to make money.
"Sell me the fifth-generation ship first and then talk about it." Zhou Yu looked like he didn't care much, but as a proficient in water warfare, he understood very well that what Lu Jun said made sense.
"How about buying a seventh-generation ship and I will give you two fifth-generation ships as lifeboats." Lu Jun continued to promote his seventh-generation ship. Anyway, the seventh-generation ship he mentioned was completely different from what Zhou Yu saw. If it could be built,
As for a seventh-generation ship, Lu Jun said that he would not feel bad if it sent a fleet of sixth-generation ships, let alone two fifth-generation ships as lifeboats.
"Well, if you buy one seventh-generation ship and get two sixth-generation ships for free, and package the fifth-generation ships you handle for me, I can accept it." Zhou Yu made a thoughtful look. In Zhou Yu's opinion, the sixth-generation ships are the same.
A pretty good battleship.
"The sixth-generation ship costs 10 million, so you can kill me." Lu Jun said exaggeratedly.
"To put it bluntly, business is just a negotiation. How much does a seventh-generation ship cost?" Zhou Yu asked with a smile. He asked for a high price and just paid back the money. Let's talk, let's talk. He was very interested in the seventh-generation ship.
"The Xingba is worth 120 million yuan, no price will be determined." Lu Jun said unhappily.
"Oh, it's a bit expensive. If I'm satisfied with the gifts, I can buy a few of them." Zhou Yu thought for a while and said, he had actually guessed that these ships would definitely not be available now, and they would have to wait until next year.
, but it’s nothing, he already has a relatively accurate guess.
"If you buy five ships, I will give you two sixth-generation ships, and the fifth-generation ships in the dock will be given to you as lifeboats." Lu Jun and Zhou Yu discussed for a long time and finally finalized the ship purchase plan.
Zhou Yu silently paid the full price, and Lu Jun used the seventh-generation ship manufacturing technology as collateral. Once Lu Jun manufactured the seventh-generation ship that Zhou Yu needed, if he did not deliver the seventh-generation ship to Zhou Yu, he would build the seventh-generation ship for both parties to keep.
Weijia Bank, which produces the technology, will completely hand over the seventh-generation ship construction technology and related drawings to Zhou Yu.
In this way, Zhou Yu paid 600 million yuan to Lu Jun with satisfaction, and Lu Jun directly invested 600 million yuan into the construction of the true seventh-generation ship without any sense. Lu Jun did not remember that what he promised Zhou Yu to build was the Xingba.
This is an inferior version that has been castrated again and again, but it is a seventh-generation ship.
After sending the fifth-generation ship to Jiangdong, Lu Jun watched Zhou Yu leave.
[The blueprints of the seventh-generation ship can actually be worth so much. Why don’t I take advantage of the fact that no one knows about it and mortgage it to the Gongsun family in Liaodong, then mortgage it to the Zhen family, and then mortgage it to Shixie, a wealthy and powerful person in Jiaozhou?
This way, we can defraud at least 4 billion. Zhou Gongjin is really good at bargaining.] The abacus in Lu Jun's heart was clicking.
Just do it, thinking that these people must be in Yecheng at this point, Lu Jun thought over and over again and decided to go to Yecheng in person, and quickly took advantage of the chaos to sell a wave of technology and cheat money so that he could build a seventh-generation ship.
