Chapter 32: Going to the Hongmen Banquet
Lian Chiyuan was not in a hurry. He never refused Su Zhi's little tricks. When Su Zhi was about to punch, he pulled her into his arms with his backhand and gently rested his chin on her shoulder.
"I miss you." A low and slightly hoarse male voice.
Su Zhi felt that this was the time when he was most useless. No matter how little she had her temper, he could not control it. Lian Chiyuan tightened his arms. It was the first time that he had experienced how difficult it was to miss someone. It seemed that Su Zhi had finally
The lingering shadow in his mind five years ago turned into a physical entity, occupying every cell in his body, making it increasingly difficult to leave her. If possible, he wanted to imprison her like this for the rest of his life.
Su Zhi's warmth spread through the shallow clothes and touched Lian Chiyuan's arms and chest, making the two of them even hotter.
Lian Chiyuan let go of her, threw the clothes on the bed to her, "Put them on."
"But I'm so hot. There's no air conditioning, no fans, and no ice cream here." Su Zhi sat on the bed aggrievedly, his mouth flat.
Some strange words began to pop up again, and Lian Chiyuan would automatically pass by them at this time. "Put it on." His tone suddenly changed.
Su Zhi knew that the coquettish trick was of no use to Lian Chiyuan, so he could only put on his clothes obediently.
"You almost think of this as your own home. Didn't No. 7 notice you?"
"Um."
"Why are you here this time? Don't say you miss me, I don't believe it." Su Zhi made a stop motion.
"Before you leave, let me give you something." Lian Chiyuan said.
Su Zhi turned pale with fright when she thought of giving her something. She was so busy these days that she forgot to ask Su Gurong if the blood-drinking knife Lian Chiyuan gave her had melted. She couldn't imagine what Lian Chiyuan would do if he knew about it.
.
"What?" Pretending to be relaxed.
"Military Talisman." Lian Chiyuan said angrily.
"What?" Su Zhi almost shouted.
"The special talisman and flares for the Dark Soldiers the next day are no less than those of No. 7's team. In case you encounter a dilemma in Xigu." Lian Chiyuan took out a silver bracelet from his cuff, and there was a silver bracelet hanging on it.
It's just a square silver nugget as big as a fingernail.
Su Zhi took the little thing and looked at it over and over again for a long time, "Are you fucking kidding me again?" "This?" with a skeptical attitude.
Lian Chiyuan spread the four cubes in his hand, tapped it three times with his fingertips, and suddenly exerted force on his fingertips. He heard a click, and the small silver piece split from all sides, like a dagger being pulled out of its scabbard, and turned into
It is a thin square square as big as the palm of your hand. On it is a blooming lotus totem. Surrounding it are uneven beads.
Su Zhi was stunned, blinking his eyes as he stared at the small silver nugget in Lian Chiyuan's hand. He stretched out his index and middle fingers and lightly drew an eight-pointed sign on it, and the silver nugget slowly closed up and turned into its original shape.
.
Lian Chiyuan tied the bracelet on Su Zhi's wrist with a smile and placed the silver tube that emitted the signal in front of her. "Do you understand?"
Su Zhi nodded stupidly, what a talent, if someone else robbed this, he would definitely not use it. Putting the silver tube in her sleeve, stuck it in the little bag she carried with her, Su Zhi's big eyes flashed.
Suddenly he looked at Lian Chiyuan.
"Say." Lian Chiyuan couldn't stand the look in her eyes.
"Aren't you afraid that I will use him to do bad things?"
"Then, they are the ones who help you, and they are the ones who kill you."
Absolutely. Worship.
The whole day, Su Zhi sat on the bed and played with that little thing that was more important than his life. It was already dusk when Ah Zi came back, and Su Zhi was still lying on the bed playing with that little thing. Seeing Ah Zi come back, he raised his face and smiled.
"Sister, the king wants you to go to the banquet together."
"Banquet?" Su Zhi jumped up from the bed. Banquet? This Su Gurong wants to die.
"All the ministers are here. I heard that the king sent his sister to lead the army, which caused a protest among the ministers." Azi helped Su Zhi get dressed. Suddenly he caught a glimpse of the silver chain on Su Zhi's hand, and his expression was dazed for a moment.
She seemed to have seen that silver chain somewhere before, but her memory was too vague and she couldn't remember it.
"Protests are inevitable. Who would trust a maid to become a general? I am not Mu Guiying, nor is I Taijun She."
"Who is Taijun Mu Guiying and She that my sister is talking about?"
"Well, they were two heroines from a long time ago. They were a hundred times stronger than men on the battlefield." Su Zhi hated explaining these things, so he said vaguely.
"Does that sister know you?" Azi was very curious.
"Well, I know. I know them, but they don't know me. Hahahaha."
After hurriedly changing and washing for a while, she hurriedly left the room. Ah Zi explained the etiquette along the way, and Su Zhi listened thoughtfully. She was also extremely uneasy in her heart. If she couldn't pass the test in front of these people this time, then Su Gu
No matter how sure she is, it won't help.
The banquet venue was in the Qiankun Hall. As soon as Su Zhi arrived at the door, he was stared at by countless pairs of eyes and felt uncomfortable. Every step he took was like stepping on a sword. He took a deep breath.
"My slave, please see me, Your Majesty." Yingying bowed in a dignified manner.
Examining, sizing, disdainful and even contemptuous glances came all at once. If those gazes were the result of a sword, Su Zhi would have been riddled with holes long ago.
"Get up. Give me a seat." Su Gurong still half-reclined on the throne like a lazy monster, dragging his head with one hand and playing with the memorial on the table with the other.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"My dear friends, if you have something to say, there is no harm in saying it."
"I think the king's decision is too hasty. Xigu is such a difficult country to conquer. Even I admire the king's military skills. But actual combat is nothing but child's play. How can we send this little girl to do such nonsense?"
"What you said is absolutely true, Su Zhi, what do you think?"
Su Zhi raised his eyes and looked at the old and upright veteran, "It is indeed true what Mr. Zhong said about the conflict between actual combat and war on paper. Please forgive Su Zhi for being unreasonable. May I ask who the promising general in Fengtian is?"
"It's me, Yan Zheng." Yan Zheng is over forty, but he still looks mentally abnormal.
Su Zhi bowed slightly and said, "Please forgive Su Zhi's offence. May I ask Mr. Yan a few questions? First, were you born on the front line before going to war again?"
"I lead the troops to kill the enemy. Although I am not on the front line, I am still among them."
"Whether you observe the sky or not?"
"You can tell it's cloudy and rainy at a glance. If you don't know the weather, I'd be a fool."
Su Zhi smiled slightly and said, "How many detachments are there under General Yan? Which detachment leader is the most outstanding?"
Yan Zheng laughed, "Six detachments are enough, and the leaders must all be the most outstanding."
"As for the remaining questions, it's okay not to ask them."
Yan Zheng was furious, "What a joke. What do you mean?"
The corner of Su Gurong's mouth was smiling. He admired Su Zhi as if he were appreciating an intoxicating painting. "Master Yan, please don't get angry yet. Listen to her."
Su Zhi took a step forward and stepped in the center of the main hall. "Your Excellency also said that the battle in Xigu is the most difficult in recent years. Not to mention the strange terrain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Furthermore, as Su Zhi asked
, First, the monarch and the people have the same goals and unified will, and can live and die together. The general should be the first one to step out of the charge line, and only the sergeants have the motivation and determination. Second, the celestial phenomena do not know whether it is rainy, day or night, or cloudy.
Sunny, cold and hot, and the change of four seasons are all factors that should be considered in advance in battle. Third, not to mention that Lord Yan has six detachments, even if Lord Yan only has two detachments, he should understand who is the most capable, more popular among the people, and more effective in combat.
