Tang Songyuan was startled for a moment. Ni Dehong's tone sounded like he wanted to explain his funeral affairs.
And he just said that after he returns, he will go to Dabei Temple to become a monk, the same Dabei Temple in Yingjiang, where Ni Sisi’s parents are buried.
Ni Dehong's younger brother also worked as an ascetic there.
"A monk?" Tang Songyuan asked anxiously: "Why does such a good master want to become a monk?"
"This is just an accident. Just treat it like you are out for fun. After you go back, you will continue as usual. If you want to play with rocks, you can go to the market to play with rocks. If you want to box, you can go to the park to box..."
Ni Dehong looked at him and asked again: "You haven't answered my question just now. I want to ask you, what do you think of your senior sister Ni Sisi?"
Tang Songyuan swallowed unconsciously and said hesitantly:
"I think Senior Sister is very good. She is pretty and has a very good figure. She is also very knowledgeable in cooking..."
All in all, it was just a meal of praise and good things to say.
Of course, Ni Sisi has changed a lot in the past two months, at least she doesn't like to play pranks as much as she did at the beginning.
Ni Dehong nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's good!"
Then he looked at Tang Songyuan solemnly and said: "Songyuan, I remember you once said that you were an orphan, and your adoptive parents also passed away a few years ago."
"Now as your master, I entrust Sisi to you. After I become a monk, you can help me take good care of her. Do you think it's okay..."
Ni Dehong's tone does seem to be asking for help.
Tang Songyuan nodded quickly and said: "Master, I can agree to what you said, but can you think about the matter of becoming a monk again?"
Ni Dehong closed his eyes, shook his head slightly and said: "I have made up my mind, let's just let this matter be settled..."
...
In the evening, Yang Zhicheng sent a car over and asked Tang Songyuan to go to the Bai family's house.
There are still many traces of the battle in the White Mansion, but the ruins have been cleaned up by the soldiers.
There was no fierce battle in the inner house, and most places were still well preserved.
When Tang Song and Yuan arrived, a banquet had already been held in the Bai Mansion, and Yang Zhicheng, Peng Daoren, Lu Qingliu and Li Qingying were all there.
Yang Zhicheng and Peng Daoren greeted each other at the door. Seeing Tang Songyuan get out of the car, Yang Zhicheng smiled happily and said:
"Brother Tang should be the main contributor to the successful capture of Lao Cai today. I was just busy with the aftermath, and I never had time to share my joy with Brother Tang."
"Now we have to join forces with General Peng to thank Brother Tang for his help to the 300,000 Kokang people!"
Tang Songyuan raised his eyebrows, then laughed loudly and said: "We are all helping each other. If General Peng hadn't been brave and decisive in sending troops, I wouldn't have the guts to do this..."
"Hahaha..." The three of them laughed loudly together, and then entered the banquet hall together.
Yang Zhicheng arranged for Tang Songyuan to take the main seat, but Tang Songyuan naturally refused. Despite Yang Zhicheng and Peng Daoren's repeated persuasion, Tang Songyuan directly took the seat next to Li Qingying and sat down.
Finally, Peng Daoren took the main seat. After three glasses of wine, he looked at the magnificent Baifu Banquet Hall and said with some emotion:
"Ever since my father was defeated in the army eight years ago, I have never thought that one day I would return to the old street. But now it has come true. I still can't believe it is true."
"But I took a look at the houses of the four major families today. They are all magnificent and filled with gold and jade."
"Their family members spend money like water and have fat horses and light coats."
"But what about ordinary people who are courageous? An errand worker only earns 100,000 kyats a month. This amount of money is only enough for food and drink for the family, and he can't do anything else. Those ordinary people may not even be able to eat. full......"
Yang Zhicheng answered: "Today we have paid off the assets of the four major families. The funds in the account of the Bai family alone are as high as 18 billion yuan."
"This does not include fixed assets and investments abroad."
"The total funds of the four major families add up to 66 billion. This shows how efficient they have been in amassing wealth over the years!"
This is a bit like repaying the accounts of Tang, Song and Yuan. He smiled softly and said:
"The way of heaven is cyclical, and good and evil will eventually be rewarded. It is a great blessing to be able to pay off most of their assets."
"According to our agreement before the war, Brother Yang will reimburse me for the funds I advanced before the war. For the rest, let them be taken from the people and used for the people..."
These words meant to express his position face to face. Yang Zhicheng smiled knowingly and said:
"Brother Tang is so kind, come and let me toast you!"
The few people chatted happily, and Li Qingying and Lu Qingliu also exchanged words from time to time.
Lu Qingliu: "Mr. Tang told me this afternoon. I hope that his involvement in this war will not be spread to the outside world. I hope that General Peng and Mr. Yang will control the publicity channels."
"Mr. Tang's original intention was to keep a low profile and not affect his business and life."
Yang Zhicheng couldn't help but nodded and said: "This is as it should be. Brother Tang, don't worry, this matter will be taken care of by me. If you have any questions, you can go directly to me, Lao Yang."
When he was in Lashio, he was a second-rate dealer in intelligence. On this point, Tang, Song and Yuan could rest assured.
He smiled and said: "Then I must be relieved. I plan to leave for home tomorrow. If Brother Yang and General Peng have a chance to pass by Ruili, please come see me."
Having said that, these two people will be very busy in the future.
If nothing else goes wrong, the future of Guogan will be to have one person in charge of the army and one person in charge of the government.
But the prerequisite is to withstand the counterattack of the Burmese army, otherwise there will be no discussion.
Peng Daoren laughed and said, "That's for sure!"
Then he changed the topic, stood up, pointed to the banquet hall of Bai Mansion and said:
"But Brother Tang has done so much for us, but there is nothing we can do for Brother Tang."
"How about this, I make the decision to renovate and decorate this Bai family's house. It will belong to Brother Tang in the future..."
“Kokang Old Street welcomes Brother Tang back anytime, anywhere!”
He and Yang Zhicheng both knew that Tang Songyuan was rich, capable and unpredictable.
If Tang, Song and Yuan could invest one or two, it would be a great thing for them.
What does a Bai family's mansion mean? What's more, this is a generosity to others.
"Wonderful! This is such a wonderful idea! Haha!" Yang Zhicheng clapped his hands and laughed, repeatedly agreeing.
