"Uncle is such a good drinker!"
Sun Lei's words happened to be heard by Mrs. Zhang who came out. Mrs. Zhang smiled and said that she was very grateful to Sun Lei and Lu Zhishen for drinking with Lin Chong to relieve their worries today, otherwise Lin Chong would have been holding in his sullen mood for an unknown amount of time.
Lin Chong was a martial artist and a rough man. He only practiced martial arts all day long and was rather careless in doing things. Lin Chong admired Lu Zhishen and Sun Lei's martial arts, and also admired Lu Zhishen and Sun Lei's brotherly loyalty. He drank so much today that he drank all the food in front of the Yue Temple. I was so angry.
Lu Zhishen was both rough and subtle, but he was careless after all, and his actions were a bit barbaric. Sun Lei was different. He seemed to be a libertine who spoke out loud, but he was actually very careful. The kick that tripped Lu Zhishen was intentional, that's all. One kick stabilized the situation that was about to get out of control. Mrs. Zhang was watching all this just now.
"Sister-in-law is joking. Drinking doesn't depend on your physique. If you have a fat head and big ears, you may not be able to drink. Drinking depends on your mood. When you have a close friend, a thousand glasses of wine is too little. It's not enough to talk without speculation!"
Sun Lei said with a smile.
"Uncle is so talented!"
Mrs. Zhang nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and felt that Sun Lei's literary talent seemed to be wrong. When looking for girls, you can also look for scholarly families, not just military families.
"Then uncle and my husband are considered close friends."
Mrs. Zhang said with a smile again.
"What kind of confidants am I and that useless person? We are just fair-weather friends! If it were me, Gao Yanei would be torn into pieces today if he wasn't torn into pieces! If a man can't even protect his own woman and family while living in the world, then what? What are you doing living? You might as well die! When a man is angry, his blood will be splashed ten steps away!"
Sun Lei didn't care at all what Zhang said in front of him. His temper was like this. He usually laughed and laughed, but there were some bottom lines that no one was allowed to touch. If he exceeded them, he would fight to the death.
"Uncle misunderstood him, and he also has a lot of helplessness. The huge Lin family is weighing on his shoulders, and it is difficult for him. The Lin family has been officials for generations. He wants to honor his ancestors, but he hates the fact that traitors are now in power. He has no way to serve the country and has to suffer. Those treacherous ministers are angry. It’s my fault today that I didn’t avoid them and caused all these troubles.”
Zhang was not angry. Instead, she shook her head and defended Lin Chong, placing all the blame on herself.
"What a wonderful woman. Lin Chong has been blessed for eight lifetimes, but this loser doesn't know how to cherish her!"
Sun Lei sighed and said, he felt a little touched when Zhang said this. Isn't Lin Chong's coward a portrayal of an ordinary person? He lives cowardly for the sake of his family. He wants to resist but has to worry about various consequences. Many times he can only swallow his anger. The only hateful thing about Lin Chong was that he always held on to unrealistic fantasies and didn't know how to resist until everything was shattered. Unfortunately, it was too late by then.
"Sister-in-law, listen to me. If you want to live a peaceful life, you and that coward should leave the city of Tokyo and find a place to live incognito. Of course, it's best to go south and cross the Yangtze River to find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. The north is going to be uneasy. "
Sun Lei looked at Mr. Zhang and advised him that Lin Chong was a cowardly and hopeless guy. Now that Ms. Zhang was favored by someone like Gao Yanei, the family was doomed to be destroyed.
"Why does my uncle say that? The official family and official positions are all in Tokyo, and my father's family is also in Tokyo. How can I just leave?"
Zhang did not expect that Sun Lei would persuade her to move her family out of Tokyo. You must know that Lin Chong is the instructor of the Forbidden Army, and his father is also the instructor of the Forbidden Army. He is destined to be in Tokyo. It is not easy to move his family away.
"Sister-in-law, it's easy to handle if someone harasses you, but now it's Gao Yanei who is coveting you. What kind of virtue Gao Qiu is? Sister-in-law should know. With Gao Yanei's character, he will never let you go, and neither will Gao Qiu." I don’t care about a small instructor like Lin Chong. The worst thing I can do is find a way to kill him. I don’t need to go into details about what happened to Wang Jin, the chief instructor of the 800,000-strong Forbidden Army. It’s a lesson from the past!”
Sun Lei sat down, poured a glass of wine and took a sip and said, the instructor is not a high-ranking official. There are 270 instructors in the 800,000 imperial army. In the eyes of Gao Qiu, the commander-in-chief, there is no difference between an instructor and an ant. the difference.
"This... this... a peaceful world... they should..."
Zhang still wanted to use Wang Fa to speak, but when she thought of Wang Jin's experience and Gao Qiu's arrogance in recent years, she couldn't say these words. Gao Qiu and those people were Wang Fa.
"Sister-in-law, that's all I've said. It's up to you to decide whether you want to stay or go."
Sun Lei spread his hands and said, he said everything that needed to be said, and also persuaded those that needed to be persuaded.
"Thank you uncle! The slave family will discuss it carefully with the officials."
Mrs. Zhang frowned slightly and made a Wanfu gift to Sun Lei as a thank you, but she knew very well in her heart that this negotiation would definitely not lead to any results. Lin Chong could not let go of these things, and her father would not let go of these things in Tokyo.
Sun Lei nodded and went to the west wing to rest, leaving Zhang alone in the courtyard and meditating.
He slept until dawn, and it wasn't until the sun entered the room that Sun Lei got up with a yawn. The yard was noisy and he didn't know what he was doing.
A basin of water and clean cloths were already placed on the washstand in the room.
"Lin Chong, this loser, really has a good wife. She is so careful in her work and manages the household well."
Sun Lei lamented that these things were certainly not something Lin Chong could have thought of, and could only have been prepared by Zhang. This made Sun Lei lament the benefits of having a good wife.
"Brother, come quickly, I'm waiting for you!"
Lu Zhishen in the yard saw Sun Lei coming out, and immediately happily called Sun Lei over.
"Are you going to worship heaven and ancestors?"
Sun Lei looked at the tables and incense tables set up in the yard. There were several plates of fruit and a big pig's head on top.
"What are you offering sacrifices to? This is the incense table specially set up for sworn worshipers. Come quickly, I'm waiting for you to come."
Lu Zhishen took Sun Lei to the vicinity of the incense table.
"Damn, haven't you forgotten this yet?"
Only then did Sun Lei understand what had happened. Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong had not forgotten about their sworn vows yesterday. They had a drink last night and started fussing about it again as soon as they woke up today.
"Uncle has good relations with masters and officials. A humble woman should be polite."
Seeing Sun Lei's reluctance, Ms. Zhang also bowed and persuaded her. She didn't care that Sun Lei looked down on her husband. She just felt that if her careless husband had such a careful brother, he would have someone to help him if something unexpected happened in the future.
Zhang thought for a night and accepted her fate. She was being targeted by Gao Yanei, and she would never understand this easily. If that day came, she could only die to save Lin Chong, but she also hoped that someone could help Lin Chong in the future. , it would be good to become sworn sworn friends to two loyal heroes.
Sun Lei suddenly didn't know what to do after Zhang's salute. Lu Zhishen was determined to swore a sworn sworn brother, and Lin Chong seemed to be willing to do so. If he was caught in the middle and kept refusing, even if he didn't care about Lin Chong's face, he should also look at Lu Zhishen's face. , and now Ms. Zhang is also trying to persuade her that she really can’t refuse anymore.
"Let's make a sworn vow. It is said that three sworn brothers are sworn brothers in Taoyuan and one burner of incense in Wagang. Let's put a burner of incense now. It will be a good time to break up and fall out with each other in the future."
Sun Lei reluctantly compromised and said.
"What is Wagang and a burner of incense? We are three people sworn in a peach garden, but it's a pity that there are no peach trees in this yard!"
Lu Zhishen didn't understand what Sun Lei said. Instead, he looked at the trees in the yard. Unfortunately, none of them were peach trees.
"Don't worry, brother, Lin Chong will not imitate the Nawagang bandits even if his body is shattered, and he will never break his promise and kill each other!"
Lin Chong was more educated than Lu Zhi, so he naturally knew what a burner of incense in Wagang was. Forty-six people in Wagang sworn sworn vows, vowing to live and die together and never betray each other. As a result, it didn't take long for each of them to have their own thoughts and part ways. In the end, the brothers killed each other for profit.
"Come on, stop talking nice words. I would rather have a burning incense in Wagang than a three-part sworn relationship in Taoyuan. Why don't you wish to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but die in the same year, the same month and the same day? You are both older than me. Wouldn't it be a big loss for me to die together? I You’d better live well, and I’ll burn paper money for your graves when the time comes.”
Sun Lei waved his hands and didn't want to hear nice words. He wanted to live a long life.
These words suddenly made Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong burst out laughing. Living and dying together was just talk. How could they really hope to die together if they were really good brothers?
