As soon as Lu Fushen finished speaking, everyone looked at Gu Shaoyu.
Everyone knows that the Tiger Guards have strict military discipline. Unless they win a battle, it is rare to hold any celebration parties in the army. His move is undoubtedly to shift the blame to Gu Shaoyu. If he angers other people, the problem will naturally be Gu Shaoyu's.
Looking at Lu Fushen's somewhat smug expression, Xing Zhao smiled even more slyly than him, and then said.
"We appreciate General Lu's kindness. We drank enough in Sui'an City. I ran away because I was afraid of being forced to drink again. Now you want to hold a banquet for me. Isn't this giving me a headache? It's not right to refuse, and it's not right not to refuse. If my uncle gets to know this, he will scold me and say that I am here to undermine military discipline. Then I will be wronged."
His words, along with the people from the Xing family, were blocked by Gu Shaoyu.
In this way, the reason for not holding the banquet could not be attributed to Gu Shaoyu. Before Lu Fushen could speak, Xing Zhao turned his attention to Master Qi again and asked.
"I'm running here to avoid drinking. What about you? You won't be the same as me."
"Brother Zhao, you are joking. You forgot that Wangzhou was originally the fiefdom of my father. I received his order this year to come and see how the harvest is this year. By the way, I came to visit everyone in the army. I don't have any special purpose."
Whether it existed or not, whether it was true or not, that was not what Xing Zhao cared about.
As long as he could divert the topic, his trip would not be in vain, so he pulled Master Qi aside and started talking about other things, ignoring the crowd.
Lu Fushen's face was softly rejected, but he was not angry.
After all, on the one hand, Xing Zhao has someone behind him, and he is not easy to mess with. If the Seventh Prince really gets a chance to turn the tables and become the master of the world, then he is now offending the uncle of the new emperor. Isn't this asking for trouble?
Secondly, it was just a drink, he just needed to express his feelings, as for whether he actually drank it or not, he didn't care.
He glanced at Gu Shaoyu vaguely, but Gu Shaoyu didn't even look back at him. He was also very angry in his heart, but he couldn't show it, so he could only endure it.
There is still a long way to go. He holds the emperor's secret decree in his hand. In the next few years, he must divide the Tiger Guards! Thinking of this, his mood became better again. From time to time, he could join in Xing Zhao's conversation, which was quite enjoyable.
Unfortunately, he looked unattractive in the eyes of Wei Lun and Mu Lianying.
The map was sent by Lu Fushen, so he must have had a hand in the trick. Plus, his expression kept changing, sometimes sarcastic, sometimes warm and gentle. He's really a troublemaker.
Everyone had their own thoughts in mind, and the conversations between them turned today's event into a lively gathering.
With Xing Zhao around, the Huben Army is like having a diplomat. He has been gaining experience over the years, and his ability in meeting people, talking to people and doing things has been well honed, so what he says is much more comfortable to listen to.
So Master Qi came on this trip with some worries, but left quite happily. When he left, he also made an appointment with Xing Zhao to have dinner at Prince Min's mansion another day.
After seeing off Master Qi and Lu Fushen, Xing Zhao sighed and said helplessly.
"I hid out of Sui'an City because I didn't want to socialize with these people. Damn, as soon as I got here, I went back to my old ways. How pitiful."
After he said this, Ni Yang next to him laughed.
"Let's go. The general is still waiting for you. I want to see what position the general will give you."
Not to mention Ni Yang, everyone present was curious.
So when Xing Zhao went to Gu Shaoyu's tent again, he saw that the deputy generals of the Huben Army all found excuses to appear there, and everyone stared at Xing Zhao. He suddenly felt like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.
"What are you doing? Why are you all here? Do the Tiger Guards have so little time for training?"
Xing Zhao and his deputy generals were all familiar faces, so he was not afraid of offending anyone when he said this right away.
Zheng Deli had a bad temper and had known Xing Zhao for many years, so he just looked him up and down and then spoke.
"You must have wasted a lot of time in the past few years. You look so skinny, but your belly has gained a lot of weight."
His words were like a sword piercing Xing Zhao's heart. He had attended many social events in recent years, sometimes drinking several times a day, so it was natural that he had a bit of a belly full of alcohol. However, he also exercised regularly, so it shouldn't be that obvious.
So he covered his stomach with his hands and then complained.
"Why are you looking so sharp? I'm here for training. If Deputy General Zheng thinks I'm too weak, just give me more training. I promise that within three months, I will be back to my best form."
"You are in your thirties. Are you sure you can handle the training now?"
Xing Zhao was speechless, wondering how come after not seeing these people for a few years, their tongues were sharper than knives. He was almost unable to cope with it.
However, with their chatter, Xing Zhao quickly integrated into the Huben Army. The deputy generals were also very happy to see him coming, so they laughed too.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Seeing this, Gu Shaoyu's mouth corners slightly raised, and then he asked.
"Do you really want to join the army?"
"Do I see the one who is telling lies? Cousin!"
"Okay, in that case, then go to the new recruit camp and recover your strength first. When you can challenge six or more lieutenants in a row, I will arrange a new task for you."
"Thank you, General!"
Now that Xing Zhao is here, he won't think of taking the back door.
Moreover, the training in the recruit camp is the hardest, but also the most challenging, so he was also looking forward to it and had already prepared himself to be abused.
There were only six deputy generals. When he was at his peak, he had defeated nine of them. So after looking at these majestic deputy generals, he provocatively made a knife-throat gesture.
At this, Zheng Deli got furious, and immediately spoke to Xue Ge, the deputy general in charge of the new recruits camp.
"Old Xue, don't show any mercy, train him to death, I want to see if he cries in half a month!"
Deputy General Xue, whose name was mentioned, looked at Xing Zhao with a stern look, showing his white teeth and said.
"Don't worry, how can we not treat the distinguished guests from Sui'an City well?"
As soon as he said this, everyone else looked like they were watching a show. Xue Ge was famous for his ruthless tactics. The most troublesome recruits would become obedient in his hands, so Xing Zhao had to suffer a lot this time! (End of this chapter)
