"Hey, have you heard that General Wu Yi will most likely succeed the Governor." A soldier said in a low voice.
This is the Sifang Building, located in the center of Zhongli City. Facing the four directions, you can see the Sifang Street view of Zhongli City. It is the largest and busiest restaurant in Zhongli City, and because of its large scale, there is no shortage of lobby and private rooms.
, there are only a few restaurants of this size in Zhongli City, and the location is excellent, so everyone, no matter rich or poor, likes to come to this square building to drink or entertain guests.
The army officers and soldiers are on vacation these days, and the army officers and soldiers cannot travel far away, so they are mainly concentrated in restaurants, brothels and casinos in Zhongli City. After all, for them, they don’t know whether they can come back alive the next time they go to the battlefield.
, naturally there is no need to keep the money in this pocket.
The Sifang Building in particular was the liveliest place, and the food and wine were excellent, so it naturally became a gathering place for soldiers.
Hearing the low voices from the next table, Li Xingchen smiled and glanced at Xiao Shilian. Xiao Shilian spread his hands and didn't know how to comment for a moment. But after all, this involved his father, he still subconsciously pricked up his ears.
listen.
And another general sneered: "How old are you all this news? We were in Luliang before, but don't forget who led our brothers to fight to the death. That was General Wu Yi. At that time
General Wu Yi was already in charge of the army, which means that the leadership of the army had already fallen into the hands of General Wu Yi at that time. What's more, General Wu Yi was a first-class hero regardless of his talent or courage, and most of them were governors.
We are old, not to mention that the Battle of Luliang was also a frustrating one... It is our blessing to have General Wu Yi leading us!"
"Why are you talking? Could it be that you look down on the Commander-in-Chief!" Several soldiers at the other table, who were obviously from Wu Mingche's Central Army, suddenly stood up dissatisfied, "General Wu Yi is fine, but how can you openly
Are you secretly saying that our chief governor is incompetent?"
The general slapped the table without hesitation: "Did you hear what So-and-so said? What's more, even if So-and-so said it, what would happen?!"
The soldiers around him also stood up one after another: "That's right, my ten generals can do whatever they say, can you care?!"
"Oh, you're such a big arrogant person. Why, do you want to fight?"
Xiao Shilian suddenly frowned. Although he was not familiar with the general, he also knew that they were several soldiers under the command of the general on Xiao Mohe's side, so it was reasonable for him to say good things about Xiao Mohe, but he did not expect them.
While talking about Xiao Mohe, he turned around and mocked Wu Mingche for his old age. This was a bit too much.
Although Wu Mingche was hesitant and timid in the later stages of the Battle of Luliang, this cannot deny his achievements. The veteran general fought for Da Chen for more than 20 years, and even Xiao Mohe treated him with respect.
, these soldiers are too bold.
But before Xiao Shilian could get angry, Li Xingchen grabbed his sleeve with quick eyesight and quick hands.
"Brother Li?" Xiao Shilian raised his eyebrows.
And Li Lian'er, who was sitting next to Li Xingchen and dressed as a woman, also frowned slightly: "Brother... how about we stay away from each other."
Obviously, Li Lian'er has been deeply afraid of this kind of disturbance after being displaced for the past few days. At this time, he is somewhat reluctant to be involved in it innocently.
While Li Xingchen looked at the two groups of soldiers who were arguing, he smiled and made a reassuring gesture to his sister, and then turned to look at Xiao Shilian: "Does the army usually have secret complaints against the Governor?"
Xiao Shilian took a deep breath and turned to look at a member of the Xiao family who was following him. The member of the Xiao family hurriedly whispered: "Young General, Mr. Li, as far as I know, there should be no such complaints in the army.
, but the previous Battle of Luliang was indeed a bit useless, and today, with the help of wine,
So it doesn’t seem incomprehensible that there are such complaints.”
Li Xingchen pondered for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Even if this complaint comes out, it should first come out from General Wu Yi's personal entourage... Why should it come out from the rest of the people first...
·”
Xiao Shilian frowned. He knew that what Li Xingchen said was straightforward, but what he said was also true. Xiao Shilian did not expect that his brothers would all be polite young masters. If he really wanted to talk about Xiao Mohe's power and belittle Wu Mingche,
It is indeed more normal for Xiao Mohe's subordinates to have this kind of situation happen first, but now neither the Xiao family's personal followers nor Xiao Shilian himself have heard of such a situation.
Before Xiao Shilian came to his senses, more soldiers from several tables had already stood up and joined in the chaos. In an instant, the previous quarrel turned into both sides rolling up their sleeves and throwing plates, and even the tables in the middle were overturned.
.
The ordinary diners in the restaurant screamed and left, while the remaining soldiers watched with interest. If they saw someone they knew on either side, they rolled up their sleeves and left. These guys all died on the battlefield.
They had escaped from the streets and had drunk a lot, and they were not afraid of anything. Let alone fights, even killing people was probably nothing more than frowning upon them.
Li Xingchen, with quick eyesight and quick hands, blocked Li Lian'er behind him, while Xiao Shilian also stood up suddenly: "You two, escort Miss Lian'er away."
"Brother, Major General, be careful!" Li Lian'er shouted hurriedly.
Xiao Shilian nodded: "Don't worry, Miss Lian'er."
And Li Xingchen also made a face: "Don't worry, sister, there are not many people in this world who can hurt your brother."
Although he said this, Xiao Shilian still subconsciously held down the handle of the knife at his waist, and Li Xingchen also slowly pulled out the blood-drinking short blade from his sleeve. The two of them looked at the chaos in front of them, as if facing a formidable enemy.
.
These soldiers who came down from the battlefield may be affected even if they just watch from the sidelines, not to mention that it is impossible for the two of them to watch from the sidelines.
If this matter cannot be stopped in time, it will definitely have a very bad impact once it gets serious. First, the conflict between Xiao Mohe and Wu Mingche will be created out of thin air, which will inevitably lead to accidents and problems in the handover between the two. Secondly, regarding
Doubts about Xiao Mohe's ability to command an army, and debates about Xiao Mohe and Wu Mingche's abilities will follow this uproar.
"Both the Grand Governor and the father are very prestigious people in the army. It stands to reason that all soldiers would be happy to see the handover between the two. Today's situation is indeed incredible." Xiao Shilian looked around and couldn't help but sigh.
.
Li Xingchen frowned and said: "If there is nothing fishy at all here, then what a hell!"
Of course Xiao Shilian understood what Li Xingchen meant, and he said in a deep voice: "It seems that someone wants to do something to these soldiers. They are really despicable and shameless."
