"Zhang Cheng, I have met Deputy General Lin and Deputy General Zhang."
Zhang Cheng exchanged brief greetings with Li Jianming and Wen Hui, 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 prosperous figure, and is wearing loose casual clothes. He looks very amiable: "Hey, this is not a small wine jar in Xuanzhen, he is a general!"
Everyone laughed loudly. Zhang Guowei was tall and slightly formidable. He was also in regular clothes and fit well. He came closer and then 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 his predecessor? He was twenty-two years old and still hadn’t married. He drank every day for 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, while Zhang Guowei was pulled by him to sit at the head of the guest table. Today's banquet was originally for Zhang Guowei to practice, and he will set off 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, and the other deputy commander Lin Dengyou sat in the third seat.
The two deputy commanders sat in the second and third seats respectively, and no one had any objections. However, Yang Guozhu asked Zhang Cheng to sit in 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, he is far behind in terms of age.
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. We drink too much." It’s so strenuous…”
…………
"Yang Shuai, brother, this is a toast to my old brother. This time when I 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. 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 a small contribution."
"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 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, they were still following the rules. After drinking more wine, they no longer followed 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. In Xuan Town, with Yang Shuai and me here, nothing can change the world..."
At the banquet that night, Zhang Guowei and Zhang Cheng were undoubtedly the protagonists. 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 repeatedly. 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 did not end until Haishi. Fortunately, Lin Fangping and the other guards were responsible for their duties 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.
…………
The next 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, and 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 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 that he could only agree after seeing it in person.
He didn't want to marry this first wife to an ugly woman!
Although she can still have concubines in the future, she must be pleasing to the eyes of the wife. Haha, even though she is a second wife, her 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 went up to greet him and said, "General, Diao Dacheng has arrived and is waiting in the left side hall."
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?"
"Haha, 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 grind for me, and 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 on the lower right side, replied respectfully: "Back to the 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 have 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, a wine shop, a gambling house, and a farmland..."
