The rider walked over with two plates of meat and wine.
He seemed to have heard Ding Li's description of Sun Lang's arrogant attitude. The rider's attitude was neither cold nor warm. He was only here because of his master's orders.
He nodded formally and then calmly said, "Under my master's orders, I'm here to deliver some wild game and wine to the two of you. I hope you can forgive me for the previous incident."
Courrier didn't seem to have heard anything. He didn't move and still sat on a rock, staring at the lake in a daze. Sun Lang waved his hand and refused, "Thank you, but I won't."
The rider didn't understand what Sun Lang was talking about. He thought that Sun Lang was being polite, so he said impatiently, "This is the game we just hunted. The wine is good wine we brought from our residence. Please don't refuse."
Sun Lang smiled, "I'm sorry, my mother doesn't allow me to eat food from strangers."
"…" The rider was stunned for a moment. Then a trace of anger flashed across his face – he didn't know what was good for him!
He suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly, "My master treats you with courtesy, but you don't give him face again and again. I'm afraid it's not good!"
Sun Lang was stunned, "This is strange. I don't know your master and I have no interest in getting to know him. I don't know what he does and what he's trying to do. He suddenly sent me food and if I don't eat it, I'm not giving him face?
What kind of logic is this? "
The rider took a step forward. Senran in his eyes and a faint murderous aura came out of his body. It was like a leopard letting out a low roar, full of threat, "Don't talk nonsense. My master has good intentions. Don't be so shameless and refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"
Sun Lang snorted coldly, "Bullshit!
What good intentions? Good intentions? Forcing us to drink wine?
What kind of joke is this?
Haven't you heard of a driver drinking a cup of wine and two lines of tears from relatives?
We still have to hurry on with our journey. If we drink your wine, it'll be drunk driving. If we get caught, our riding license will be revoked! "
What a mess!
The knight's expression had already turned gloomy, and the muscles on his arms gradually bulged. It was as if he was going to smash the two plates of meat and wine in his hands at the bastard in front of him in the next moment, and then give him a good beating.
Sun Lang, on the other hand, was eager to see the world in chaos. Adding fuel to the fire, he said, "What, you still want to hit people?
Come on, this Sun likes to make a move against those who think they are stronger than others. Do you know who I am?
You'll be scared to death if I tell you! "
He stood up and arrogantly raised his thumb and pointed at himself. He said proudly, "F * ck, I just did a big job a few days ago. I have a lot of murder cases on my hands. If you really piss me off, none of you will be able to escape!
Let me give you a piece of advice. Keep your eyes open and don't mess with people you can't afford to mess with! "
The knight's eyes were not only cold, but also filled with pity. He was so angry that he laughed. So he was an idiot, he thought. Claiming to have a murder case on his hands, he really put the hilt in my hands!
Just as he was about to make a move, he heard a loud shout from behind him, "Don't be rude!"
The noble young master, surrounded by guards, hurried over. As he walked, he shouted, "Don't bully others!
Don't complicate matters!
Don't bully the weak! "
The knight glared at Sun Lang, his eyes revealing an expression that said, "Consider yourself lucky, kid." However, he would not let things go peacefully. He turned to meet his companions, and then whispered the matter to them.
When everyone heard that this rude idiot didn't know what was good for him, they all showed a dissatisfied expression. They looked at Sun Lang with eyes full of hostility. F * ck, we gave him face, but he didn't want it!
This group of arrogant soldiers were already very angry … What kind of joke was this?
The young master was so tolerant and generous that he didn't hesitate to make friends with you. He was courteous and tolerant in all aspects. You refused to give in first and then refused his good intentions. Did you really think that we were clay Bodhisattvas who didn't have any anger at all?
Even the young master's expression was a little stunned and dissatisfied. However, after a moment, he shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "It's our fault. We urged them to leave at the beginning. They were dissatisfied and were on guard against us. It's normal …"
A knight angrily scolded, "Ding Li also gave money!
We talked to him politely and didn't directly drive him away with knives. We were already giving them a lot of face. Who knew that our kindness was exchanged for the liver and lungs of a donkey? They took advantage of our nose and stepped on our face! "
Another knight echoed, "That's right. Young master, you're still too soft-hearted. Some people just can't be spoiled. Otherwise, they really don't know how many bones they have!"
"Shut up!"
The young master sternly said, "You are all imperial soldiers of the empire. You eat the imperial food and receive the military pay. Are you using the knives and spears in your hands to bully the common people?
Don't bully the weak! "
His words were loud and clear. After he was done, he bowed to Sun Lang and Courrier and said, "My partner is rather straightforward, but he is not a bad guy. However, because of various misunderstandings, he offended you time and time again and turned a good thing into a bad thing. I'm truly ashamed. Please accept my apology …"
Courrier was still motionless, but Sun Lang seemed surprised. "Wait … Did you just say that they are all soldiers of the Imperium?"
Before the young man said anything, one of the knights roared, "Prick up your ears and stand still!
We are all from the General's Residence of the Ming Province!
You are truly bold to be so rude to us in the territory of the Ming Province! "
The young master turned around and roared, "Shut up!
The name of the General's Residence of the Ming Province was obtained by General Qi in a bloody battle against the Tianyuan Empire. It is the honor of protecting the country, not something that we can show off! "
But Sun Lang's attitude suddenly took a 180-degree turn. That arrogant and smelly face from before had already turned into a warm spring flower blooming. An expression of pleasant surprise appeared on his face: "Could it be General Qi Guanyan's residence?"
The leader of the knights said coldly, "Who else dares to call themselves the General of the Ming Province other than Mr. Qi?"
"Oh!" Sun Lang slapped his thigh. "Why didn't you say so earlier?
It was truly a coincidence!
What a coincidence!
What a coincidence!
So, this is General Qi's son? "
The young man shook his head slightly. "No, General Qi is my brother-in-law."
Sun Lang smiled and cupped his hands. "So, it's the brother-in-law's faction … Bah, I mean the government!
It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Brothers, we are all on the same side! "
This fellow's change from arrogance to deference was too obvious. It was very despicable, especially since he had attracted a lot of hatred before. Now that his attitude had changed, he was even more despicable. The knights all sneered disdainfully, and the leader of the knights said indifferently, "Who is on the same side as you?"
Sun Lang patted his chest loudly. "I am Sun Lang, the son-in-law of the Zhang family of the Ming Province!
Our Zhang family has never been short of filial piety to the General's Residence of the Ming Province during festivals. This is a typical collusion between military and business. We are all on the same side. What happened just now was like a flood rushing against the dragon king's temple! "
Everyone in the General's Residence didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Was this person stupid? Why was he speaking the truth?
Only the brother-in-law blinked thoughtfully, and his eyes darkened slightly.
However, he still asked calmly, "The son-in-law of the Zhang family?"
Sun Lang was full of nonsense. "Yes!
I just got engaged a few days ago. This time, I came to the North to send an invitation to General Qi and invite him to attend my wedding. I will personally send it to him to show my sincerity. In addition, this is also a test from my father-in-law. In addition to sending the invitation, I also want to talk to General Qi about this year's new trade route and invite the General's Residence to participate in the stock market! "
He said casually, "Isn't this a coincidence? I was just thinking about what General Qi would like and what gift to give him. I didn't expect to bump into you here!
No gift can compare to pillow talk, right?
When the time comes, I will ask you to put in a good word for me to the General's Wife and make this happen. Wouldn't that be perfect? "
As he said this, he showed a mysterious expression and winked. "After this is done, I will invite you to visit the brothel and let you book it for the night!
Make it a full set!
There are no limits! "
The man didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After all, many people didn't know how to deal with the legendary 'self-familiarity'. However, he had heard his sister occasionally talk about the Zhang family and knew that the Zhang family was doing business with the Lihuo Kingdom …
Moreover, there was no benefit for this person to pretend to be the son-in-law of the Zhang family. It seemed that it was true.
After knowing the other party's identity, Xiao Li still maintained his courteous appearance, but his attitude had undergone a subtle change. He cupped his hands in salute and said, "So it's Brother Sun … Xiao Li, you don't have to call me that. My surname is Wang, and my given name is Yin."
"So it's Brother Yin." Sun Lang also cupped his hands and said arrogantly, "Then it's settled!"
"…" Wang Yin frowned slightly and then sighed. "I can't agree to this. My brother-in-law rules the family as well as the army. How can I interfere in the official business of the General's Residence?
Besides … Brother Sun, are you going to Hucheng City to discuss business with the General's Residence? "
Sun Lang said proudly, "Yes. Now, our Zhang family has developed into a multinational family business and has a long-term and stable cooperation with the Lihuo Kingdom. In the next few years, our import and export business for the Lihuo Kingdom will reach a new height. And all of this needs the support of the Mingzhou government!
Therefore, we sincerely invite the General's Residence to join us and create a new future together! "
Wang Yin shook his head and said, "I'm afraid … it won't be easy."
Sun Lang was stunned. "Why?
It's very profitable! "
Yin Zai said seriously, "But my brother-in-law said a long time ago that he is a soldier of the Empire and his duty is to protect the country and build an invincible army for the Empire. He agreed with the opinion of a senior officer and confidant that … the army is not allowed to do business!"
"So, Brother Sun, I'm afraid you will be disappointed this time …" Wang Yin glanced at Sun Lang and showed a surprised expression. "Eh … Why is Brother Sun smiling?"
Sun Lang said with a smile, "General Qi is loyal to the king and is a good general of the Empire. But this matter can be flexible. It's not convenient for General Qi and the General's Residence to do business, but it doesn't mean that the General's wife and her family can't do business."
"Moreover, this matter isn't about the military's business. It's just that General Qi loves the people like his own children. In order to vigorously support the development of civil trade, he sent troops to clean up bandits and escort caravans. This is also a merit of diligence and love for the people!"
Sun Lang said with a smile, "And the protected merchants are grateful for the hard work of the soldiers and the benevolent rule of the General. They are willing to offer their wealth as military expenses and rewards. Isn't it wonderful?"
Wang Yin looked at Sun Lang in surprise, as if he didn't expect this crazy guy to come up with such a good idea. He said calmly, "It sounds like it might work …"
Sun Lang clapped his hands and said, "Right? If your sister is in charge of this matter, then your family will also benefit. If your family benefits, then you will also benefit. After all, she is your sister. If you can take a share of the profits, then you will be so happy that you will explode. You won't have a problem staying up all night …"
"Ha …" Wang Yin smiled. "This matter depends on my brother-in-law and sister … But it's a coincidence that I am also going back to Hucheng. I can go with you, Brother Sun."
Sun Lang naturally agreed. "Ho ho ho, Yin Zai, you must help me!
I'm counting on this one vote!
If this matter is done beautifully, my father-in-law won't have anything to say! "
Wang Yin raised his eyebrows slightly. "What do you mean, Brother Sun?"
Sun Lang sighed. "Alas, you don't know. Actually, my wife and I love each other. We even privately promised to marry each other. At that time, we were betrothed before we were born …"
"Wait …" Wang Yin was a little confused. "Didn't you privately promise to marry each other?
How come you were betrothed before you were born? "
Sun Lang gave him a thumbs up, revealing his shiny teeth. "It was a sunny afternoon. I held her hand and walked in front of my father-in-law. She blushed and lowered her head shyly, hugging my hand tightly. I held my head high and chest out with a proud expression. I pointed at my wife's slightly bulging belly and told my father-in-law confidently, 'Father, we're getting married!'"
"…" You are still alive. Buddha is really taking pity on you.
Sun Lang sighed. "So, you know, my father-in-law must be very unhappy.
But first, what's done is done. His daughter said that she would marry no one else but me. Second, to be honest, the business and career of the Zhang family in the Lihuo Kingdom was established by me. So, although my father-in-law was unhappy with me, he couldn't do anything to me … "
Wang Yin nodded. No wonder the Zhang family liked someone like you. This explains it clearly. No wonder the Zhang family could establish a connection with the Lihuo Kingdom quietly. It turns out that you are really capable.
"So, Yin Zai, you understand."
Sun Lang said solemnly. "This is a crucial battle. We must fight it beautifully. You have to help me!"
Wang Yin revealed a warm smile and nodded, "I understand. I will definitely complete this matter and allow your elder brother to step into the Zhang Clan with his head held high. Come, now that we have wine and meat, let's fill our stomachs first before setting out. Come, Brother Sun, this way please!"
Sun Lang had already thrown the drunk driving incident to the back of his mind. "Roar, roar, roar!"
Courrier heard this and also stood up silently.
At this moment, Wang Yin turned to look at Courrier, who was wearing a heavy cloak and had his head lowered. He asked casually, "By the way, Brother Sun, is this brother your companion?"
