Almost at the same time, Jiang Yongshuang, Chen Lanzhi, and Zhou Lizhi turned their eyes to Chen Tianming, feeling puzzled, unhappy, and annoyed.
Not only did Chen Lanzhi's eyes change, but his face also darkened, as if he was scolding Chen Tianming, what do you do for food, you actually lost to a nurse!
In an instant, the atmosphere in the hall became tense. Jiang Yongshuang and the other four did not speak, and Chai Yan and the five others did not speak. The air seemed to be frozen.
The one who suffered the most was Meng Ruhu. Originally, he wanted to quietly invite Chai Yan and the others to a meal to please him, but who knew that the news actually reached Jiang Yongshuang's ears, causing such an embarrassing situation now.
"Long build, long build!"
At the moment of embarrassment, Meng Ruhu suddenly shouted loudly.
"Coming, coming..."
Meng Changjian was waiting outside the hall. When he heard his father's voice, he quickly shouted and ran in, saying: "Dad!"
"What's going on? Why haven't the dishes been served yet? Go and hurry up!" Meng Ruhu said anxiously.
Meng Changjian nodded hurriedly and quickly ran to the kitchen.
After his son left, Meng Ruhu apologized to everyone and said with a smile: "My lords, I'm really sorry, the food will be served immediately, it will be served immediately!"
Chai Yan smiled and said: "Meng Li, don't be in a hurry. Cooking requires sufficient heat to taste. If the heat is not enough, it will only end in a mess."
In fact, this sentence had no profound meaning, but Chen Lanzhi misinterpreted the meaning after hearing it. He felt that Chai Yan was ridiculing his nephew, saying that his martial arts was not strong enough, so he was defeated by Cheng Jiu.
"Master Chai, what do you mean by what you said?" Chen Lanzhi asked unhappily.
Chai Yan was stunned for a moment and looked at Chen Lanzhi in confusion: "Huh?"
Chen Lanzhi said: "Tianming is indeed not good at martial arts, but Mr. Chai doesn't need to be sarcastic and sarcastic!"
"Cynical?" Chai Yan was confused, frowned and stared at Chen Lanzhi, and asked: "Colonel Chen, when did I become sarcastic?"
Before Chen Lanzhi could speak, Zhou Lizhi beside him said: "Master Chai, you just said that the heat was not enough, weren't you just laughing at Chen Tianming?"
Chai Yan suddenly frowned even more tightly and thought to himself: You guys are really sick, I'm talking about vegetables. When did you talk about Chen Tianming?
Chai Yan wanted to say what he was thinking, but then he thought it was wrong. Jiang Yongshuang actually didn't say a word in this situation. It was clear that this was not a misunderstanding, but an excuse to deliberately find trouble!
"Who said anything about him? Don't you understand people's words?" Hang Baiqiu became angry instantly.
Cheng Jiu and the others were also angry, frowning and staring at each other with Chen Lanzhi and the others, full of gunpowder.
Meng Ruhu, who was sitting at the bottom of the table, was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He never thought that such a thing would happen.
Meng Ruhu stood up and wanted to act as a peacemaker: "General Jiang, Master Chai, gentlemen, don't get angry, don't get angry..."
But no one paid attention to Meng Ruhu's persuasion. The two sides still looked at each other angrily and were in a stalemate.
Jiang Yongshuang looked at Chai Yan and said in an unhappy tone: "Master Chai, don't you want to restrain your people?"
Chai Yan also looked at Jiang Yongshuang and said without fear: "General Jiang, don't your subordinates also need discipline?"
When Zhou Lizhi heard this, he immediately stood up and shouted: "What did you say?"
Chen Tianming also stood up: "Say it again if you have the ability!"
Seeing each other stand up, Cheng Jiu, Guan Maochun, and Yu Tie also stood up immediately.
As a result, the two sides have escalated from a tense situation to a tense situation.
Meng Ruhu was trembling with fear from both sides. He was at a loss and had no idea how to persuade him.
Fortunately, Meng Changjian appeared in time and brought a group of servants to serve the dishes, which made the atmosphere in the hall more lively.
Jiang Yongshuang saw this and said: "Sit down!"
Zhou Lizhi and Chen Tianming did not dare to disobey, and while glaring at Cheng Jiu and the others, they slowly sat down.
"You guys sit down too!" Chai Yan also said.
Cheng Jiu and the others sat down, but their expressions were still the same as before.
Soon, the table was filled with dishes of all kinds and richness.
Meng Ruhu immediately picked up the wine glass and said to everyone with a smile: "My lords are here today, so that... I will bring glory to this little man's house. I would like to pay my respects first... I would like to pay my respects to you all."
cup!"
With that said, Meng Ruhu drank all the wine in one gulp.
Immediately afterwards, Meng Ruhu poured two more glasses and drank them down one by one.
He originally thought that the atmosphere would get better after drinking, but Meng Ruhu discovered that the two sides were still looking at each other fiercely, and they continued to refuse to give in to each other.
"General Jiang..." Meng Ruhu called in a trembling voice.
Jiang Yongshuang did not respond and pretended not to hear.
"Master Chai..." Meng Ruhu shouted again.
Chai Yan looked calm and pretended not to hear, without giving any reaction.
Meng Ruhu was so anxious, sweat was pouring from his back and forehead, and he secretly cried in his heart: What can we do, what can we do?
Suddenly, Chai Yan spoke: "General Jiang, today is Meng Lichang's birthday. Is this how we wish Meng Lichang his birthday?"
A smile suddenly appeared on Jiang Yongshuang's lips, and he said: "Master Chai is saying that today is Mengli Chang's birthday, and it is really inappropriate for us to do this... Come on, come on, let's eat vegetables, eat vegetables...
..."
After saying that, Jiang Yongshuang winked at Zhou Lizhi and Chen Tianming, and then they reluctantly looked away from Cheng Jiu and the others.
"That's right, everyone is hungry, let's eat, let's eat!" Chai Yan also said.
Chai Yan also gently shook his head at Cheng Jiu and the others. Cheng Jiu and the others obediently moved their eyes away, lowered their heads and picked up the chopsticks.
Next, except for Meng Ruhu who said a few words in embarrassment, no one else spoke. The atmosphere was strange and made people feel suffocated.
Halfway through the meal, Chen Lanzhi suddenly put down his chopsticks, raised his hands to Chai Yan, and said loudly: "Master Chai, Tianming was very unwilling to lose last time. He has always wanted to compete with Brother Cheng again, why not?
How about we let them have a good sparring session after we have some fun later?"
Chai Yan secretly laughed in his heart, after dawdling for so long, you finally couldn't help it anymore!
Chai Yan immediately looked at Cheng Jiu and found that Cheng Jiu was nodding vigorously, eagerly expressing his willingness to accompany him.
After watching the process, Chai Yan turned to Jiang Yongshuang and said with a smile: "General Jiang, after working on it for a long time, it turns out that's why you are here!"
When Jiang Yongshuang saw that Chai Yan had made it clear, he stopped evading: "Master Chai, as soldiers, if we lose, we will try our best to find opportunities to win back. Master Chai, you should be able to understand this, right?"
"
Chai Yan raised his smile, nodded and said: "I understand, I understand, who is not competitive yet! Haha..."
