Xie Ming

Chapter 406: A Bowl of Wine to Clear Up Suspicion
After the celebration banquet, Qi Gang talked about the hidden worries about the Yellow River floods in summer and autumn. Xiao Lang took it seriously and thought about it as a later story!

In addition, Ma Minglu also expressed his concern before leaving and repeatedly said words of care.

Hearing this, Xiao Jingchuan's eyes were filled with tears. As brothers, he didn't bother to talk in a coy manner, but instead covered it up with a smile.

"Hi!"

"Oh, Minglu, you've become so nagging just now!"

"Okay, okay!"

"I'll listen to you!"

"Go, go first!"

"I'll write the memorial later!" Xiao Lai said.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Hearing this, the two generals did not delay any longer and went to wait outside the yamen gate.

After the two of them hurried away, Hu Chennan also sat down, with a gloomy and embarrassed look on his face, and spoke frankly.

"Uh"

"Commander-in-chief!"

"There's no one else in the back hall right now!"

"I know about Brother Yuan Ping!"

"I screwed up!"

"I'm not the kind of person who can't handle anything!"

"Please don't stretch me!"

"What on earth is this? You can tell me what to do!"

"You can kill me or chop me up, one life for another, and I, Hu Chen, am not afraid anymore!"

"He had a big scar on his head, but he's still a brave man 20 years later!"

"Just give me a quick death!" Hu Chen was angrily complaining.

Hearing this, Xiao Jingchuan held back his laughter and teased.

"oh?!"

"hehe."

"What's in your heart?!" Xiao pretended to speak and stared at him with closed eyes.

"what?!"

"This, this is natural!"

"Every word he spits is as good as a nail!"

Hu Chen was still holding on.

However, when he raised his head and saw Xiao Lang's eyes, he was suddenly stunned and relaxed in embarrassment.

"hey-hey."

"But here comes the question!"

"If you don't have the heart to take my head!"

"Then from now on, Lao Li will be with you, and it will be considered as redeeming himself for meritorious service!"

"You, the commander-in-chief, are pointing east, and I dare not go west!"

"You asked me to beat the dog, but I don't dare to catch the chicken!"

"What?!" Han Huchen carefully studied the other party's psychology, and quickly changed the subject to beg for mercy, acting very shameless.

"kindness?!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

"You, you, you!"

"Brother Huchen, what can I say to you?"

Xiao was amused by this behavior!

"You really underestimate me, Xiao Jingchuan!"

"Yes! Yuan Ping and I do have a history. We are sworn brothers!"

"At this point in the battle, his whereabouts are still unknown, and his life or death is uncertain. I feel very uncomfortable and panicked for a while!"

"It is precisely because I am worried about his safety that I have delayed for a moment and have not asked any further questions!"

"Look at you, you just muttered these nonsense to yourself again!" Then he got back to the point.

"Ugh!"

"Brother Huchen!"

"You and I will rise together from the capital!"

"We have come all the way together in the battle line with the armored soldiers!"

"How can this love that endures hardships and life and death not be true?!"

"It's true that Yuan Ping and I are sworn brothers, but how can we not be friends for life and death with your brother?!"

"Not bad!"

"This time when we march north, I ordered your troops to attack the camp, and I also took Yuan Ping with me. I wanted him to go and gain experience!"

"I don't know if you have heard what Changting said in private. My elder brother Yuan is just like you. He is a martial arts fanatic and has always dreamed of becoming a general. He has heard operas singing about him and he wants to emulate people like Li Jing and Yuchi Jingde!"

"I just want to be called Emperor Taizong someday and be included in the list of twenty-four heroes in Lingyan Pavilion!"

"I can't help it!"

"After all, he has been wandering around the martial arts world before. Although his Kung Fu skills are impeccable, he lacks some skills in commanding troops in battle!" "So, I am just flattering you and sending him to serve under you!"

"In the military, people here tend to be more naive. If you don't have any military experience, who would be able to obey you?!"

"Brother Huchen, tell me whether it is true or not!" Xiao told the truth.

"Uh, yes, yes!"

"That makes sense!"

"but."

Hu Chen listened patiently, and when he heard this he quickly agreed.

However, although he said that, the matter was related to him after all, so Li Huchen wanted to say more to argue, but unexpectedly, Xiao Lang raised his hand to stop him.

"Brother, as the old saying goes, one general's success is built on the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers!"

"On the battlefield, military merit is not so easy to obtain!"

"Only with real swords and real guns, fighting in battle is the right way!"

"He is my brother, but he cannot be exempted from this!"

"Your brother has been at the forefront of the charge and has fought countless battles, big and small!"

"Isn't this a reputation earned on the edge of a knife?!" Xiao Xuming said.

"hey-hey!"

"Yes!"

"I, Hu Chen, like to hear what the governor said!" After hearing this, Hu Chen felt much clearer and continued the conversation unconsciously.

"That's the truth!"

"Other teams, I'm too lazy to ask more questions!"

"But under my rule, Xiao Jingchuan, if you want to stand out, you must be serious and work hard to get ahead, only then can you claim credit and seek a position!"

"so!"

"Brother Huchen!"

"This matter ends here!"

"Whether Yuan Ping can return safely or not is up to fate!"

"I know your difficulties!"

"But please trust me, Xiao Lang!"

"We won't discuss this matter any more after this!"

"We must not let this cause any rift or alienate our friendship!"

"I, Xiao Jingchuan, am quite clear in what I said!"

After saying this, Li Huchen completely understood Xiao Jingchuan's intentions!

As the commander, he could speak to his subordinates to such an extent. Even if his subordinates were stupid, how could they not be moved and grateful at this moment? !
Xiao Lang, a righteous man, is so clear about the distinction between public and private affairs. Li Huchen, who is under his command, immediately feels grateful to have met a wise leader!

"oops!"

"Got it!"

"It's me, Old Li, who is overthinking!"

"Look at this."

"Oh! Never mind!"

"As for the rest, I'm not good at talking and can't explain anything!"

"Come!"

"It's all in this wine!"

"I apologize to the warlord!"

"Let's just put this matter behind us! Huh?!"

Hu Chen was tongue-tied and was deeply moved for a moment, but he had no way to express his gratitude. So, he quickly straightened up, put the bowl in front of him, took the jar of wine, and poured it himself, indicating that this was a token of his sincere gratitude!
Hearing this, Xiao Lang also responded with a smile, and also drank the large bowl in front of him full of wine.

"it is good!"

"Let's drink this bowl together!"

But just wait until these two generals want to have a bowl of wine to settle their grudge!

Suddenly!

Outside the yamen gate, Changting ran in quickly and roared loudly!
"warlord--"

"warlord!"

"I'm back!"

"Brother Yuan Ping is back!" The Changting cavalry came to report!
Upon hearing the news, Xiao and Li, two servants who were still at the banquet in the back hall, were shocked!
Then a look of ecstasy!
The two were dumbfounded, and were stunned when they saw this!
In a flash, they all left their bowls and plates behind and hurried towards the front hall!
Wait until the second general rushes to the front yard and front hall!

Yuan Ping led the guards Chen Jiulang and Lan Qi, and they also rushed to the door!

At a glance, the three men were in tattered clothes, their legs were covered in mud, and they looked in a very miserable state!

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Hu Chen, Xiao Chuan! I, Yuan Ping, am back!"

"His grandma's!"

"On the way back, we encountered enemy scouts, and our horses were useless, so we broke down halfway!"

"We were on foot here, so it took us quite a while!"

"What?!"

"Can I have a drink of this celebratory wine?"
