When you meet a close friend with a thousand cups of wine, you can raise your glass to relieve your sorrow and worry even more.

Dong Shixian, who originally only had two taels of drinks for each meal, now he will be drunk when he eats meals.

Unlike the drunkenness when drinking with Lu Yiping, Dong Shixian, who is now, may have been drunk when he raises his glass.

Sometimes Mrs. Dong felt sorry for her master and quietly mixed some water into the wine pot, which made Dong Shixian even more sad. She said bluntly why her wine was not as good as the delicious food brought by Lu Yiping?

As he was talking, the nearly thirty-year-old lord beat his chest and stamped his feet, bursting into tears.

Dong Xianglin, who was drinking by the side, didn't know how to persuade his father, so he had to pick up the wine jar and accompany his father to find the drunkenness.

Since Lu Yiping was in trouble, Dong Shixian's temples have become much whiter to the naked eye.

Only after the war started did he truly understand that he, the city lord, was so stable because there were soldiers who were secretly called "free food" by civilian officials.

He once complained to Lu Yiping many times that the Zhennan Army had too much money. Although the treasury was abundant, he could not resist the sacrificial sacrificing mountains.

Lu Yiping glared at him and cursed, "Damn it, are you so brave to talk about me?"

After scolding, Lu Yiping's wine was placed on the table at Dong Shixian's home again.

The incomprehension between civil officials and military generals has been the reason for the noisy in the court since ancient times, but when the imperial power was stable, the one on the dragon throne prefers to say a few more words to civil officials.

The reason is naturally very simple. After all, if the sword is too sharp, it can easily hurt yourself.

This tendency often makes civil servants who are in a stable world more domineering. Even if they are unable to tie up their hands, they can still face military officers in the court and spit on them. Anyway, their swords are pointing at the enemy and will not pull them towards them.

It would be even better if they dared to pull themselves toward them.

In fact, although Lu Yiping was the garrison of Pingnan City, his authority in this Pingnan City was not as high as that in Dong Shixian.

Because Dong Shixian is the lord of a city.

Not only Bazhou, except for the northern Liang, Yong and Ji prefectures, the city lords are all headed by the city lords, and the city lords have the right to control the city guards.

Even the Grand Sima, who was in charge of the world's military power in the Great Jin Dynasty, was a literati.

However, Dong Shixian never regarded himself as an official in front of Lu Yiping, nor had he intervened in anything in the army. The reason for this is that in addition to his friendship with Lu Yiping was because he knew a truth very well, that he did not know how to govern the army.

The king granted him the right to guard against it, not to control it.

But many people just can't understand this truth. For example, the Grand Sima had questioned the Three Kings of the Northwest many times, and even made many suggestions when Sima Zhengkang made revocations to the three men's privately dispatched troops. Sima Zhengkang was also worried that the three kings had great power, so he became interested. However, this matter was very important and it was not a holy word to decide. Therefore, Sima Zhengkang took advantage of the meeting of the Eight Dynasty to bring up this matter.

The three kings would not agree with this matter. They all rely on military affairs and cannot be delayed. If everything needs to be waited for the court's orders, they will probably miss the opportunity for war. By then, they will be taken first by foreigners, but it will not be a joke at the table.

What surprised Sima Zhengkang was that he originally thought that at least three or four kings would agree with his proposal, but none of them agreed. Therefore, Sima Zhengkang's proposal really became a joke.

Not long after, the Grand Sima was removed from his post.

Then Sima Zhengkang began to be unintentional to the government and was obsessed with gardening strategies. He built Minghe Garden with the whole country until he died of illness.

Fan Jingtian once mentioned this matter to Dong Shixian and several city lords. On his own territory, Fan Jingtian laughed at the young emperor without hesitation. Who doesn’t know his little thoughts? Even his great-grandfather Sima Chonghuo can’t do it, just rely on him?

At that time, Dong Shixian saw ambition in Fan Jingtian's eyes.

The one who can achieve Fan Jingtian's ambition was the guards of Zhucheng who were ordered by several of their city lords to seize.

Now that Lu Yiping is dead, even Bazhou has become a mess. He, the leader of Pingnan City, is qualified and has the right to take over the Zhennan Army, which has no leader.

But he didn't want to, nor did he want to.

Zhou Bochang and Lu Yiping died one after another, and Wang Ji, who became traitors, died inexplicably. The Zhennan Army was not so easy to take over.

Wu Zhong and Zheng Shuyuan also visited the door and asked Dong Shixian, who was the city lord to take charge of the overall situation. In order to maintain the stability of Pingnan City, Dong Shixian reluctantly went to the Zhennan Army camp for a while.

However, he only ordered Wu Zhong to take the post of General Zhennan Army as the city lord. Zheng Shuyuan was his deputy general. After the king's order was issued, he would make other arrangements.

Dong Shixian didn't know who should give up the king's order.

When Fan Liye was in Pingnan City, Lu Yiping recognized him as the king and stood opposite Fan Jiangong. However, Dong Shixian, the lord of Yicheng, did not recognize Fan Liye's identity as King of Shu so happily.

Because the books of sages he read told him that the king of Fan Liye was unorthodox.

Of course, Fan Liye did not think that he, the city lord, was very important at that time. After he became king, Fan Liye did not announce his visit as a king, nor did he issue any orders to him.

In fact, if it were not for Lu Yiping, and if Dong Shixian did not recognize Fan Liye as the king, Fan Liye's king's order might not be effective in Pingnan City.

But at that time, Pingnan City had been under the city by Feng Yuan's army. If Dong Shixian made it clear that he would stand on Fan Jiangong's side, it would inevitably cause civil strife in Pingnan City. This was a situation that Dong Shixian and Lu Yiping wanted to see, so Dong Shixian pretended to be confused on the grounds of lockdown.

Of course, he did not shorten the supplies of Zhennan Army.

He will naturally cause criticism when he does this. After all, Feng Yuan represents Ziyang City, and at this time Lu Yiping is already the rebel general Feng Yuan mentioned. Dong Shixian's move will undoubtedly bring trouble to him.

Most of his subordinates had objections. Even Fu Jinglun, the president of Nanli Academy, visited Dong's house, scolding Dong Shixian for not distinguishing between black and white, not understanding right and wrong, and reading sages in vain.

Of course, Dong Shixian would not have the same knowledge as him. He just explained, are you satisfied if you insist on Lu Yiping bringing someone to hold the knife around his neck?

Fu Jinglun put his nostrils upwards with his waist and nostrils. What about the backbone of a scholar? He died if he died, but he was afraid that he would not succeed.

Dong Shixian no longer gave Fu Jinglun face and said mercilessly, "You are not willing to die, but as the lord of a city, I dare not die easily in order to protect the safety of the country."

Fu Jinglun's face turned red. He didn't say a word for a long time, so he had to hum a heavy voice and leave with a shook his sleeves.

Dong Xianglin also asked his father privately, what should he do if the capital pursues the matter in the future?

Dong Shixian patted Dong Xianglin on the shoulder and just sighed.

However, Dong Xianglin understood what his father meant.

The man in the Dong family is not the only one who is his father.

Xu Mansion, Pingnan City.

The door of the mansion was opened, and Dong Xianglin, who was slightly drunk, held the door and shook his body and walked out the door. He accidentally tripped on the threshold and staggered. Fortunately, the follower who was supporting him was quick and quickly grabbed him, "Oh~ Master, you have to be slower~"

"I said brother-in-law, your alcohol tolerance is... not good. After drinking such a little wine, I can't walk steadily?"

Xu Yibai, who was also supported by someone, pulled Dong Xianglin's shoulder with his tongue wide, "If you want me to tell me, you can live in the mansion... for a few days... it's time to... it's time to get there."

Dong Xianglin, who was standing firmly at the door, waved his hand, "Yibai, I don't want to stay, you know that it's an extraordinary time, and my father is inseparable from me."

"Call me brother~"

Xu Yibai grinned.

Dong Xianglin glared at Xu Yibai with a smirk on his face, and then said to Xu Qingqing who had come to him: "After you and I have a wedding, this is your first visit to the family. Since you are back, you can stay safely for a few days. When I finish my work, I will pick you up."

Seeing his girl's reluctant expression, Xu Yibai curled his lips and said, "Qingqing, are you reluctant to give up?"

Xu Qingqing glared at her brother.

Dong Xianglin smiled, "Okay, I'll leave~"

After saying that, with the help of his followers, he walked down the steps, got on the carriage, and uncovered the curtain, and Dong Xianglin paused.

"Young Master, what's wrong?"

"Nothing~"

Dong Xianglin burped and got into the carriage.

Sui Cong shook his head slightly, it seemed that the young master really drank a lot this time.

The carriage left the Xu Mansion and only walked dozens of feet away. Dong Xianglin stopped the carriage and ordered outside the carriage: "Laifu, you go back to the mansion first, I'll go to Baisha Lake."

"Yes, Master!"

"If my father asks, I'll go to find a friend to relax and go back before dark!"

"Okay, Master!"

After hesitating for a moment, Lai Fu asked, "Master, what should I do if you have drunk so much wine? Otherwise, you can wait for me here for a while, I..."

"You go, I'm fine!"

At this time, the always taciturn coachman said, "Laifu, don't worry, I'm still there!"

Lai Fu looked at the coachman in confusion, nodded, jumped out of the carriage, and then reminded: "Old Wang, be smart~"

"Don't worry!"

The coachman Lao Wang raised his whip and said, "Driving!"

In the carriage, Dong Xianglin's wine had already sobered up most of the time. It was not because he had some advanced skills to force the wine out of his body, but because he was scared.

"I am worthy of being the son of the city lord, and my concentration is pretty good!"

At some point, Jae Shoudian, who appeared in the carriage, spoke expressionlessly.

Dong Xianglin didn't think the person in front of him was praising him.

“You…When did you…”

After sobering up, Dong Xianglin was not clear about his words. There was no way, he was too nervous inside. After all, the person in front of him was someone who could just break a tree with one hand.

Ja Shoudian glanced at Dong Xianglin without speaking.

Dong Xianglin glanced at the car door in confusion, then said in surprise: "Is Lao Wang yours one too?"

Sa Shoudian chuckled, "I said Young City Lord, you are not stupid!"

"How could it be? He has been in our mansion for more than ten years, so why has he become yours?"

"There is nothing to do or not. They work hard all their lives for money. They are all for money? If it is our people, they are not considered as ours. I just give more money."
