Chapter 161 Appointment

After Gu Fan sat down, other guests, in addition to those who went to the bridal chamber, also fell down one after another, and all kinds of dishes were handed over like flowing water. Although Gu Fan's military rank was not high, he was the most prominent in terms of origin. Even Minghui, the commander of the Suzaku Division, could not be compared with him. Therefore, as soon as Guan Haotian's envoy left and the groom entered the bridal chamber, Gu Fan, the best man, became the focus of the audience.

Fortunately, the Huang family did not get Tianlu, only Dali local wine. The wine was more like sweet wine and was not particularly intoxicating, so Gu Fan insisted on drinking more than ten glasses. But after a while, Gu Fan found that almost everyone was fighting for his table to clink glasses with him. He felt a little at a loss. He raised his head and looked at the crowd in front of him, hurriedly reached out and pulled Gu Shun and said, "I'll go to the toilet, please help me stop it..." After saying that, he stuffed the wine glass into Gu Shun's hand without saying anything, turned around, lowered his waist, and slipped out while everyone was not paying attention.

Seeing that Gu Fan had left the scene, it was not easy to disperse, everyone had to put the target on Gu Shun next to him, and then gradually left after bombing. When Gu Fan turned around in the Huang house and came back slowly, Gu Shun was already holding the wine glass and his eyes were a little dull. Seeing Gu Fan coming back, Gu Shun was like a drowning person grabbing a piece of driftwood, suddenly became energetic, grabbed Gu Fan and refused to let go, dragged him to sit in his seat, shouting: "Everyone, come and toast, the little marquis is back!"

When Gu Fan saw Gu Shun's cleverness, he realized that he had been tricked by this guy just pretending to be drunk. Fortunately, the banquet was half over at this time, and the guests were a little drunk. When he heard Gu Shun's voice, a few people who were still awake came over with wine glasses and clashed with Gu Fan for a few glasses, and then returned to their own tables.

Gu Shun felt a little uneasy when he saw Gu Fan having only been filled with these few cups. He was about to pull Gu Fan to drink, but Gu Fan pulled Gu Shun's sleeve and whispered to him: "Look, Duan Chun will come out to toast. Let's go together when he toasts with Commander Minghui and Deputy Commander Yan Longjun."

Gu Shun was not willing to refuse, so he followed Gu Fan and came back to drink for a while and was about to sit down when he saw a figure sitting down with alcohol on the seat beside Gu Fan.

When Gu Fan looked closely, it was the groom Duan Chunyi. At this time, he was already five points drunk. He tapped the table in front of him with his fingers and said to Gu Fan: "Little Marquis, I... I heard that you are going to be promoted to deputy commander!"

Gu Fan immediately stopped his smile and said, "Brother Duan is joking. How could he improve so quickly?"

"Little Marquis..." Duan Chunyi stretched out a hand, pointed to the table where Minghui and Yan Longjun were sitting and said, "You... you didn't see it. Has Hu Yanyun not appeared for a long time?"

After Duan Chunyi reminded him, Gu Fan remembered this strange phenomenon. Since Minghui, Yan Longjun and all the Yunqiwei and above generals from the Zhuque tribe came to support Duan Chunyi, it was obviously Guan Hao's order. Even if Hu Yanyun is from Dan Tai Mingjing, there is no reason to refute this kind of face? Then the only possibility is that something happened to Hu Yanyun.

"What happened to Hu Yanyun?" Gu Fan couldn't help asking.

Duan Chunyi was just about to speak, but Gu Shun next to him was afraid that Duan Chunyi would drink too much and said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly said, "Deputy Commander Hu Yanyun has suffered a cold recently and is recuperating in the camp."

"Okay...Okay...Brother Gu, why do you have to hide it from the little marquis... I will tell him sooner or later." Duan Chun interrupted Gu Shun's words with alcohol, and said like a bean jumping: "Mr. Minghui and Deputy Commander Yan Longjun acknowledged Hu Yanyun's treason and were under investigation. If the crime is confirmed, he will be executed. The little marquis not only has the innate level of strength, but has made a lot of military achievements in the battle of Lincang City, but he is also the general who will take over Hu Yanyun's position. What is it that everyone hopes for?"

"Okay, okay... Brother Duan, you're drunk." Gu Shun was a northerner. He knew that the disaster came from his mouth and hurriedly pulled Duan Chunyi's sleeve. Unexpectedly, the young man from southerner turned a blind eye and continued, "Little Marquis, you and Yingbei Marquis... Give me face so much. My life in Duan is Yingbei Marquis and the Little Marquis! Who... Who... If I don't agree to be the deputy commander of the little Marquis, will my Ziqi Army agree?" He suddenly turned his head and looked at Gu Shun and said, "Brother Gu, after the battle in Lincang City, which one of your black flag troops does not admire the little Marquis's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's master's virtues are noble? Tell me..."

Gu Shun was stunned for a moment when Duan Chunyi asked this. Gu Fan knew that Duan Chunyi was drunk and hurriedly said, "Brother Gu, Brother Duan, I have received all your feelings. Everyone is a person who shares hardships, so there is no need to stick to these." Seeing that Duan Chunyi seemed to want to say something, Gu Fan hurriedly raised his glass and said, "Let's have a drink for three." Gu Shun knew that Gu Fan was going to block Duan Chunyi's chat, so he hurriedly raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's cheers."

Duan Chunyi was drunk after all. After being fussed by these two people, he really didn't know what to say. Gu Shun and Gu Fan were relieved. But no one noticed that the eyes of several people at the banquet slowly moved away from the round table where Gu Fan was.

After the banquet, Gu Fan and Gu Shun accompanied the crowd to Dali's streets to watch the bonfire dance. The residents of Dali City, regardless of men, women, young and old, danced hand in hand. It was a night of fun, so there was no need to say.

Gu Fan played with everyone until midnight, and returned to Yingbei Hou Mansion. The next day, Gu Fan rested in the wing room for a day. Unexpectedly, a servant came to knock on Gu Fan's door early on the third morning, saying that Guan Haotian was invited. Even though Gu Fan was unhappy, he had to yawn to Guan Haotian's living room.

As soon as Gu Fan walked into the door, he saw Guan Haotian lying on the desk and watching something. Seeing Gu Fan come in, he stretched out his hand and waved, shouting: "Fan'er, come here."

Gu Fan responded and walked over, but saw Guan Haotian looking through a list in his hand. Gu Fan saw the names of Zheng Jun, Li Xiaolang, Xie Yuxiang and Meng Wuhen at the front of the list, and only then did he know that this was the list of Zhenghongqi under his command. Gu Fan Zheng was puzzled by Guan Haotian, but he asked first: "Fan'er, look at your four thousand-man commanders, who is suitable for your position?"

When Gu Fan heard this, he guessed that it was probably Dan Tai Mingjing who compromised. His 38,000 military achievements had been approved by the Ministry of War. If he wanted to be promoted, someone would naturally need to fill his position.

"I think Zheng Jun is the most suitable." Gu Fan thought for a while and said.

Guan Haotian used a brush to click next to Zheng Jun's name, raised his head slightly and asked Gu Fan, "Why don't you recommend Li Xiaolang? As far as I know, Zheng Jun is the subordinate who has followed you for the shortest time, I'm very surprised."

Gu Fan nodded and said, "Although Zheng Jun has followed me for the shortest time, his ability to manage the army is the strongest. To be honest, Li Xiaolang is from the guard of Yingbeihou, and sometimes he is inevitably very arrogant and low-key. Xie Yuxiang and Meng Wuhen are both monks. Although their strength is innate, they are not as good as Zheng Jun." Gu Fan analyzed and said, "Marching and fighting are not a joke. I can't joke about the ten thousand lives of Zhenghongqi."

Hearing Gu Fan say this, Guan Haotian nodded in praise.

"I remember when I was Lincang City, I handed over the defeated soldiers from other units to Zheng Jun to reorganize, and soon regained his combat effectiveness. I believe that if he took over my position, he would do better than me."

"Fan'er, I understand what you mean." Guan Haotian smiled and grabbed a piece of paper from the list with his fingers, handed it to Gu Fan and said, "Take it."

Gu Fan saw the seal of the Ministry of War stamped on the paper at a glance, "Fenwuwei?" Although Gu Fan disagreed with the rumors that he was about to be promoted to the deputy commander of the military rank for two consecutive levels, he said that he had no expectations in his heart, which was definitely a lie. The final appointment was only Fenwuweiwei, and he was inevitably a little disappointed.

"Fan'er, if you follow your military merits, you will be promoted to general now. However, unless it is in extremely special circumstances, you will generally not be promoted beyond the level. The old fox Dan Tai Mingjing, who is willing to criticize you for his 38,000 military merits, has already bleed hard."

After all, Gu Fan was a human being for two lifetimes, and his mind was more mature than his peers. After a slight disappointment, he quickly returned to peace and said to Guan Haotian: "Ying Beihou, I hope to be in charge of Zhenghong Banner, Purple Banner Army and Black Banner Army."

"Well, these three teams were all commanded by you in Lincang City, and you are under your jurisdiction. They are the best choice." Guan Haotian nodded slightly and said, "Fan'er, as long as you continue to work hard, no accident, you can become the commander within three years." The Fenwuwei is the deputy commander, also known as the general, and the commander is also known as the general. The levels established are quite large, and the military achievements are required to be scary. Therefore, many people cannot be promoted to the commander after climbing to the deputy commander because they have not had enough military achievements. However, the relevant Haotian here will not be less military achievements after every battle. Then it is not empty talk to be promoted to the commander within three years.

Ying Beihou looked at Gu Fan again and said earnestly: "Fan'er, compared with a deeply rooted family like the Dan Tai family, there is still a huge gap. Our generation spared no effort to cultivate two younger generations, you and Gu Yu, and their strength is only at the innate level. The Dan Tai family has already produced a super expert like Bei Suhou who has reached the strength of Xingjie. If you and Yu'er do not practice well, the prospects of our Gu family will be worrying."

"I understand, Ying Beihou." Gu Fan whispered: "At the very beginning, there will be star-level masters in the new generation of the Gu family!"
