Fu Song

Chapter 64 The Eve
The three walked side by side.

Zhang Cheng just felt as uncomfortable as a thorn growing on his body.After babbling for a long time, he said to Xiao Cheng, "Chongwen, there is one thing I have to tell you."

"Zi Ming, but it's okay to say it."

"I introduced Xin Jian to my father. They originally wanted the guards to lead Huang Hai's army." Zhang Cheng stopped, "Compared to Huang Hai, Xin Jian is a true warrior. This matter ,I"

Xiao Cheng waved his hand: "Zi Ming has a lot of heart. They have different positions, so naturally they will have their own considerations and methods. Going further, it is a matter of national importance, and Xin Jian is also a member of the Long Guard Army, so there is nothing wrong with it. My eldest brother is thinking at the national level, so why don't you think so, Ziming?"

"Big brother, of course." Zhang Cheng was a little ashamed: "Otherwise, I wouldn't have challenged a hundred Long Guards with ten people. I am not. I just thought that if the Long Guards lost, my father would be afraid. If he wants to be implicated, he is the commander of the Fourth Army after all!"

"Who doesn't have a little selfishness! It's not bad to be able to do this without being selfish." Xiao Cheng stretched out his hand and said to Zhang Cheng: "Brother Ziming is so frank that he is a good man worth making friends. I have to apologize to you."

Zhang Cheng asked strangely, "Where did Chongwen come from?"

"Because of you, I used to hang around in the brothel and Chu Pavilion, and I thought you were not allowed to be friends!" Xiao Cheng smiled and glanced at Luo Gang and said, "I also threatened Yu Ting if he dared to have a close relationship with you again, he would be beaten up. Can't get up."

Zhang Cheng couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand and held Xiao Cheng's hand: "Okay, no matter how the battle is, I Zhang Ziming have made you a friend. But Chongwen, those secret skills you promised to give me are still worth it. Does it count?"

"Of course!" Xiao Cheng nodded vigorously.

The three walked together for a while, but each parted ways and went back to their respective homes.

"That's what Xiao Cheng really said?" Zhang Chao put down an official document in his hand, looked at his son who was standing in front of him, and said.

"Yes." Zhang Cheng nodded: "By the way, my lord, Xiao Cheng also bought [-] cards, betting that his eldest brother would win. My lord, he is so confident, will there really be any problems in tomorrow's decisive battle? "

Zhang Chao shook his head: "In a hundred battles and ten, if they still lose, then the father, the commander of the four armies, really shouldn't do it. Then Xinjian and the hundreds of horses who went to battle are also full of enthusiasm. The father also arranged it properly, eliminating all possible extra-disk factors, Xiao Ding, he can't win."

"Yes." Zhang Cheng thought for a while, then suddenly asked again, "Sir, if Xiao Ding is killed tomorrow, can Xiao Cheng and I still be friends?"

This question left Zhang Chao stunned for a while before shaking his head with a wry smile: "If this is the case, I'm afraid it won't happen. After all, this matter was arranged by your father and me. Although I really want to say it, Russell Cai He is the culprit, but my father is also an enemy of the Xiao family."

"Is this what Luo Xianggong planned?" Zhang Cheng gritted his teeth.

Although he and Xiao Cheng had known each other for a short time, they admired each other, and it was a bit sad to think that they might turn against each other in the future.

"Forget it, there are several carvings with one arrow!" Zhang Chao sighed: "As expected of a person who can be the leader of the East House, a few words of lightness immediately caused an uproar in Bianliang, and several forces were in conflict with each other. Hate, and he just sits firmly on the Diaoyutai, watching the situation rise!"

"It is precisely because of this kind of person that our Song Dynasty has never been able to focus on the outside world. Instead, the Liao people are embarrassed and proud. Whenever I think of the arrogance of the other envoy, I really want to take a knife and cut it." Zhang Cheng said angrily.

Zhang Chao shook his head speechlessly, his son was still a little immature after all.

"My lord, if we lose, can I still be friends with that Xiao Cheng?" Zhang Cheng suddenly asked the opposite question.

Zhang Chao stayed, but he never thought that his side would lose.

After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Of course it is possible. But at that time, your father had already taken the blame and resigned and became an old man. If Xiao Cheng still thinks highly of you, you can be his friend."

"Xiao Cheng is not the kind of person who tends to go to the top." Zhang Cheng said.

"You really look up to him." Zhang Chao said with a smile: "It seems that Xiao Yu has really given birth to two good sons. One is extremely domineering, swallowing ten thousand miles like a tiger, and dares to pick a hundred out of ten to set off this controversy. Fengyun. The other one is called the seed of reading, and it is known as a jinshi holding a hand, and now even my son is very convinced about it."

"Xiao Cheng is really worth paying for." Zhang Cheng said earnestly.

Xiao Cheng, who returned to the mansion, naturally did not know that Zhang Chao and his son had a high opinion of him. At this time, in the Xiao mansion, a banquet was being held arrogantly.

In addition to the Xiao family members, Gao Jian, the younger brother of Duke Baoguo, the present-day Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, that is, Xiao Ding's father-in-law, also came to Xiao's house in person, and he also came with a cart of Huang Chengcheng's copper coins. Although no one from the Han family in Xinyang is currently an official in Bianliang City, the contact person who is resident in Bianliang City is also a distant cousin of Xiao Han's family.

Kiss or not, a family, the broken bones are still connected to the tendons!

At this time, it is naturally the same enemy.

What was different was that ten Xiao Ding's personal guards sat at the head of the banquet held in the courtyard today.

Gao Jian was only in his early forties this year, and he was well maintained, but he looked like he was in his early thirties. Standing with Xiao Ding, it was really hard to tell who was older and who was younger.He, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, is a leisurely position, and more often than not, he is calling friends and friends, chanting the wind and the moon.For people like them, wealth is indispensable, but power is difficult to grasp.

To maintain wealth and honor, relying solely on the merits of the ancestors will always use a little bit to make it thinner, so it is the best choice to build a huge relationship network through marriage.

He was actually quite satisfied with this son-in-law.

At a young age, he is already famous all over the world, and Jane is in the heart of the emperor. If this continues, within [-] years, a Taiwei will be stable.With such a son-in-law here, their family can sit back and relax.Gao's children like him, who can't be noble, will point to this son-in-law in the future.Who told his sons to be unsatisfactory!

But who would have thought about this.

These days, he was really haggard.

When I came to the door today, although I still had no good feelings for Xiao Ding, I came here with a full [-] copper coins.

For his family, suddenly taking out [-] cash in cash is really not an easy task.

He is not Gao Yu, the Duke of Bao Guo.

At this moment, this usually romantic and elegant scribe was holding a large bowl of wine, standing in front of He Zheng and the other guards, and all the guards were shocked like quails and didn't know what to do with themselves.

The person in front of him was not only Xiao Ding's husband, but more importantly, he was a high-ranking official in the dynasty.A small seventh-grade censor made them tremble with fear, this is a fifth-grade official.

"Father-in-law, we have to fight tomorrow, they can't drink too much alcohol today." Xiao Ding explained with a wry smile.

"Also, they use a small cup, I still use a big one!" Gao Jian was arrogant as a scribe, and said directly to He Zheng: "You warriors, Gao will not say anything false. My father-in-law. The reward awarded will be doubled by someone who is tall. Drink Zhuangxing wine today, and come back to the celebration feast tomorrow.

When he tilted his neck, he drank a large bowl of wine to the extent that there was nothing left, which only made Xiao Ding complain in secret.

Today's wine, but the strong wine that Xiao Cheng got, how can you drink it this way.

Looking at Gao Jian smashing the empty bowl on the ground, the ten guards in front of him were also affected by the frivolity of the scribe in front of him. Although he was only holding a small cup in his hand, it was also a cup of wine, shouting "Thank you, sir," and then drank it all.

Tou Gao Jian was full of smiles, but he was drinking immediately, and when a gust of wind blew, he fell straight back.

Thanks to Xiao Ding's precautions, he supported his father-in-law and waved his hand. Two servants came up long ago, and hurried to the back with a bowl of Gao Jian on his back to rest.

On the contrary, He Zheng and others were taken aback.

Seeing that Gao Jian was drinking so boldly, he thought he was a powerful person, so he poured out a bowl if he didn't want to.

Gao Jian fell, and the banquet had to continue.

The Han family in Xinyang came forward to make a toast.

Xiao Cheng stepped forward to toast.

Even Xiao Yan's junior third Xiao Yan, Xiao Dinghun's Gao Qi, and finally Xiao Han came out to toast each of them with a glass of wine.

From Xiao Cheng's point of view, this is telling these people that tomorrow there is no other way than risking their lives to fight.

Especially when Gao Qi brought Xiao Jing and the two to toast, this woman, a doll, changed the faces of these men on the spot.

They know Gao Qi.

Over the years, Xiao Ding has used his daughter-in-law's dowry to subsidize military use. Ordinary sergeants don't know it, but it is impossible for them to not know.

Xiao Cheng sighed inwardly, not knowing what the battle will be like tomorrow?Even if they win, a few of the men in front of them will still be able to sit down and drink a glass of celebration wine.

Xiao Ding restrained the army very strictly, saying that half a catty of wine is half a catty of wine. Even on this occasion, it is not allowed to drink too much.

The banquet was very grand, but it also ended very early.

The entire Xiao Mansion was always lit up in the middle of the night on weekdays, but today the lights were turned off early.Even the dogs in the care home were gagged, and the crowing rooster was slaughtered with a knife.The housekeepers who patrolled the night at night walked quietly, for fear of disturbing the rest of these people.

Xiao Cheng didn't feel sleepy at all.

If Big Brother wins tomorrow, the Fourth Army will go to the frontiers to fight, and it will definitely be put on the agenda. This is a matter with far-reaching consequences.Since the upper four armies can fight in rounds, other armies stationed in places will inevitably be in the sequence of rounds.

It can be said that the military of the Song Dynasty will undergo earth-shaking changes due to the war tomorrow.
