The main hall where the King's Palace entertained distinguished guests was in a mess. Leftovers of food were placed haphazardly on the table, and dozens of wine jars rolled down on the floor.
Just by looking at the wine jars on the floor, you can tell that the drinking party last night was at least a life and death game.
Next to the well across the corridor from the hall, Song Qing and others stood in a row drunkenly, looking blankly at Mr. Liu who was carrying a bucket and starting to fetch water.
Liu Mingzhi took out a bucket of cool water from the well and looked at Song Qing and others who were still not fully awake with a sly smile.
"You idiots, please wake up to me!"
Song Qing and others subconsciously opened their eyes when they heard Young Master Liu's arrogant laughter. Before they could realize what was going on, a large bucket of well water splashed rain and dew on more than a dozen people.
Everyone suddenly turned into drowned rats, their drunkenness disappeared instantly, and they looked at Young Master Liu with excitement. Only then did they realize Young Master Liu's intention of asking him and others to come to the well.
Cheng Kai and others touched the water marks on their faces with their hands and looked at each other with sober expressions.
Young Master Liu looked at the people with rolling eyes and had a bad feeling in his heart. He put down the bucket and prepared to escape from the crime scene.
The bucket on Young Master Liu's side had just landed on the ground when Song Qing's voice echoed through the side courtyard.
"Brothers, if you are not in the army now, you are not a handsome guy, just fuck him for me!"
In the blink of an eye, Young Master Liu struggled to be lifted up by a dozen wet guys and walked towards the artificial lake in the palace.
"Damn it, you idiots, let me go and discuss everything else now, otherwise I will make you peel off your skin even if I can't train you to death in the camp!"
Song Qing and others turned a deaf ear to Young Master Liu's threats and continued to carry the struggling Young Master Liu towards the artificial lake in the mansion.
"Brothers, I was wrong. You can't be like this. We are good brothers who have been through life and death!"
"one!"
"two!"
"three!"
"Let's go!"
"Greetings to your family, since you are so unkind, just come down with me!"
Young Master Liu, who was thrown into the lake, flipped several times in the air, grabbed a few people's arms and fell towards the lake. The sound of falling into the water filled the front yard, attracting the passing maids and servants to look into the lake.
, I don’t know what happened.
Four or five of the dozen or so people were dragged into the lake by Young Master Liu. Seeing this, the others took off their helmets and jumped into the lake with a howl.
In an instant, there were more than a dozen thrashing figures in the lake in the palace, as well as happy shouts.
The fish in the lake were frightened by the sudden arrival of a group of guys and fled away, shivering not knowing where to hide!
The lake water was still a little cool in the morning, and this time, everyone really sobered up from their drunken state.
Young Master Liu floated in the water, raised his hand to wipe the water stains on his face, and chuckled as he looked at a group of brothers swimming freely in the lake.
In this life, I can have so many brothers who will accompany me through life and death.
Worth it.
On the arch bridge not far from the lake, the four beauties Qi Yun, Qi Ya, Qing Lian, and Yun Qing Shi stood on the bridge, looking at the tough men in the lake who were playing like a dozen children and looked at each other silently.
Don't know what to say.
Behind the four beauties were a dozen maids carrying trays containing hangover soup that had already been prepared. Qi Yun and others did not expect to see such a childish side when delivering hangover soup.
Yun Qingshi shook his head helplessly: "If the censor Yanguan saw this scene, I don't know how he would participate in the play for my husband and uncles!"
"They must think that the dignified prince and his group of decisive and murderous generals are playing in the lake without grace, which is simply a disgrace to the court, and they will definitely write a special note in the memorial."
Qi Ya's beautiful eyes stared softly at the group of tough men in the lake: "Let's go and join in the music with those sour scholars. When we went to deliver food to them yesterday, I'm afraid I will never forget their drunken words."
"Since the expedition, we have lived every day as if it were the last day of our lives."
"You can't tell whether you will die or I will die tomorrow. As for the shameless matter, let's wait until the war is over and we can still be alive!"
Qi Ya's words silenced the girls. They couldn't help but think of a group of generals covered in blood last night, hugging each other and sobbing.
It’s hard to predict whether we will live or die tomorrow, so who cares about the rest?
Qi Yun looked at her husband and sighed softly: "Maybe they don't want to do this, but in the face of unpredictable life and death battles, this method may be the best way for them to vent their depression and fear."
"As a prince, my husband can fight with them without any pretensions. Perhaps this is why they are willing to follow my husband to the death even though they know that they may die on the battlefield at any time!"
"We are just women, and we cannot understand their comradeship of living and dying together."
"Come to think of it, among all the princes in the world, only my husband can act like this with his brothers without caring about his status!"
Gradually, the women all fell silent and stopped on the arch bridge to wait for a group of grown men to come ashore.
I don’t know how much time passed, but Liu Mingzhi and others were walking toward the arch bridge, all wet, shoulders and backs.
Qi Yun and the girls hurriedly called a group of maids to wake up with sobering soup.
"I have met my husband! I have met all my uncles!"
"Brothers and sisters are free of charge!"
"Sister-in-law, no gifts!"
Song Qing and others looked at the Qi Yun girls who came up to salute with embarrassment. It was indeed indecent to appear like a drowned rat in front of the princess.
Young Master Liu happily looked at a group of embarrassed Song Qing and others: "Okay, okay, there's nothing we can't let go of, we are all brothers who have been through life and death!"
"My father and mother are your parents, my children are your children, and my wife is still my wife. If any of you dare to think nonsense, I will tell you that you will not be able to be men in your next life."
Song Qing and others burst out laughing after hearing this, and the embarrassment just now disappeared in Liu Mingzhi's joke.
Qi Yun and the other girls gave Young Master Liu an angry look, how could they be joking like this.
However, they also knew that the husband was trying to ease the awkward atmosphere, so they didn't say anything more and called the maids to bring the sobering soup up.
"Husband, uncles, we are about to go to war. You drank so much last night, drink some sobering soup to refresh yourself!"
"You still know how to be considerate!"
Young Master Liu took a bowl of hangover soup and drank it, then glared at Song Qing and others' hesitant expressions.
"Why are you still standing there waiting for me to feed you in person? After drinking the sobering soup, go back to the military camp, beat the drums and gather the generals, and the army will set off for the battle!"
"We have the order!"
Each person drinks a bowl of hangover soup. Whether it really works depends on God's will.
Liu Mingzhi handed the soup bowl to Qinglian and waved to Song Qing and others.
"Everyone, get out of here. After I put on my armor, we will meet up at the military camp."
"We'll leave!"
Looking at the backs of Song Qing, Cheng Kai and the others leaving the mansion, Liu Mingzhi turned around and looked at Qi Yun and the girls with a chuckle.
"Ladies, please wear armor for your husbands!"
Two-quarters of an hour later, Young Master Liu put on his armor, told Qi Yun a group of beauties some of his farewell feelings, and then led his horse towards the military camp.
When Young Master Liu was still two streets away from the camp, the sound of marching drums gradually sounded in the city, getting louder and louder.
In an instant, the streets and alleys in Yingzhou City were filled with running figures of soldiers, pointing directly outside Yingzhou City.
"See the Marshal!"
"No gift!"
"Thank you, Marshal!"
Liu Mingzhi sat on the handsome chair and glanced seriously at the generals under his command in the middle.
There is a clear distinction between public and private affairs, and you can fight in private as much as you like. The army is in a large camp, and there is a war. Naturally, Liu Mingzhi will not have fun with them again.
"Have the commanders and generals on the left and right arrived?"
"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, they have been notified to meet outside the city gate. I think they should have set off now!"
"Where are our brothers in the middle?"
"We have already set up camp and gathered outside the city. In less than half an hour, our three armies from the left, middle and right in northern Xinjiang will gather outside the city and wait for the commander's orders!"
Liu Mingzhi said nothing more, held up his handsome seal and walked out of the desk.
"Generals, obey the order!"
In an instant, all the generals in the tent clenched their fists and knelt on one knee, looking at Young Master Liu respectfully.
"We obey orders!"
"Three rounds of drums have fallen, and the army is moving forward, heading south to seize the city!"
"Follow the order!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Song Qing and others who had not gotten up yet, his eyes a little confused.
"Why don't you get up?"
Song Qing and others looked at each other, gently took out several letters from their armors, and exchanged the letters in their hands with the generals around them under the surprised eyes of Young Master Liu.
After everyone put away the letters, Song Qing took out 19 letters from behind and handed them to Liu Mingzhi.
"Commander! If any of our brothers are unfortunate enough to go with Brother Unbearable, please ask the surviving brothers to bring home letters back to you!"
Liu Mingzhi was startled and glanced at the smiling faces of everyone. The look in his eyes that was not afraid of life and death was so indifferent.
Immediately, Liu Mingzhi's eyes turned sour, and he took the family letter from Song Qing's hand with trembling hands.
"The war rages for three months, and a letter from home is worth ten thousand gold."
"Brothers, if Liu Mingzhi is lucky enough to survive, he must bring his family letter to the brothers!"
"Commander, don't you leave a letter home?"
Liu Mingzhi shook his head silently, picked up his family letter and walked outside the tent.
"You will be a hero in life, and you will be a hero in death!"
"A real man is born in heaven and earth, and will die wherever he goes. There is no need for a letter from home!"
