Chapter 268 Brother, You Are So Brave
Since Yun Chen was awarded the rank of Major General, people generally call her "Major General Yun", while those who are close to her and friendly with her call her "General Yun".
Su Zhengyang deliberately called Yun Chen a "guard" instead of a "major general", clearly intending to humiliate her by using Yun Chen's experience as a guard.
The word "means" implies that Yun Chen has done something shameful and is a villain who takes advantage of others.
Do you dare to bully Yun Chen right here in front of you?
Huo Gannian and Yun Wang narrowed their eyes at the same time, staring at Su Zhengyang who was speaking with a narrow gaze.
Ye Yan, Hua Jue and Buyan all looked stern and unconsciously put on a defensive posture.
On the side, Cao Fang was also very unhappy after hearing Su Zhengyang's words, but seeing that the "hen" Huo Gannian had already taken a full-scale protective posture, and there were several other "hens" next to her who were also ready for battle, he simply closed his ears and concentrated on eating meat.
Ye Yan walked forward and picked up the pot of wine that made Yun Chen cough. He smelled it and his face changed slightly.
"It's the strong liquor 'Drunken Grave'."
It is said that after three cups of Zuifengang, people will be so drunk that they dare to spend the night in a graveyard in the deserted mountains. It is a rare spicy and strong liquor.
It was probably while Hua Jue and Buyan were busy collecting the skewers that Su Zhengyang had someone secretly put it on Yun Chen's table.
Huo Gannian glanced at Su Zhengyang, sneered, and said:
"So you're the eldest son of the Su family. You can drink a thousand cups of wine without getting drunk. Would you like to try the pot in front of General Yun? It's freshly poured. I'll pour you a couple of sips."
Yun Wang took over the conversation, his tone gentle but with a hint of sharpness:
"From what I know, General Yun not only has the ability to save people in danger, but also the ability to save the country from danger, single-handedly entering the enemy camp of 200,000 troops! He bravely fought in Guying City to rescue his compatriots, putting his own life and death aside! Commander Su has always stayed in the Imperial Guard and does not know the hardships of fighting on the battlefield. It is not Commander Su's fault."
Yun Wang has always been gentle and polite, and speaks in a thoughtful and appropriate manner.
No one had ever seen Yun Wang speak so harshly.
Su Zhengyang's face was half pale and half blue, and he looked at Yun Chen with even more disdain.
"Why is Guard Yun silent? As a dignified Xuandu Guard, he is best at hiding behind people. With General Huo and Lord Yun Wang as shields, Guard Yun will be safe and worry-free in his life."
Huo Gannian's face darkened completely, and he was on the verge of losing his temper.
Yun Chen patted Huo Gannian's arm to indicate that it was okay. He tilted his head back and drank a whole pot of "Zuifengang" before smiling at Su Zhengyang without any grudges.
"Commander Su, I won't say anything else. But from what you've said, it seems like my experience as a 'guard' is something shameful. Sorry, I can't agree. Protecting your master is a life-or-death struggle, upholding the principles of justice. Guards rely on their martial prowess and unwavering loyalty to protect their masters, often sacrificing their own lives to keep them safe.
This is no different from the imperial guards who protect the emperor, or the soldiers who guard the country's borders. In this profession where blood is shed, as long as one's heart is upright, there is no distinction between high and low. In my opinion, there is no difference between guards and generals."
"Well said!"
Someone whispered something, not loudly, but everyone heard it in this awkward atmosphere.
Judging from the direction of the voice, the person speaking seemed to be a guest's guard, whom Yun Chen did not know.
Today's banquet for dignitaries must have the guards and their masters in attendance.
The masters sat and the guards stood.
The masters ate meat and drank wine, while the guards served and were on guard.
Yun Chen's words undoubtedly made the guards present excited, and they all looked at the former guard and current general with emotion.
Protect the master at all costs, and uphold the principles of justice.
This is the oath every guard takes when they enter the profession.
But from the expressions of the guests present, it can be seen that the masters in high positions have never heard of this sentence.
Fortunately, there is a person like Yun Chen, who has risen from a guard to a general and has reached a position with enough say, so that this sentence can be solemnly presented to the world.
People will then remember that the guards are not slaves, they are also a group of passionate and righteous heroes...
Compared with Yun Chen's frankness and sincerity, Su Zhengyang's repeated difficulties seemed petty.
And when everyone saw the reactions of Ye Yan, Hua Jue and Buyan, they knew that Yun Chen must be like this all the time, and he was definitely not deliberately showing off in front of others.
Su Zhengyang couldn't refute it, instead of getting angry he laughed, drank three glasses of wine in a row, then jumped out of his seat, looked around at the guests, and raised his finger at Yun Chen arrogantly:
"Guardian Cloud boasts so arrogantly, so he must be a skilled martial artist. I heard Guard Cloud can walk on a swarm of snakes and flying beams. I'd like to give it a try. Do you have the honor to do me this favor?"
Snakes flying around?
Plus the same arrogance.
Yun Chen finally knew who Su Zhengyang was.
It turned out to be Songlan - Su Songlan's brother!
Back then, Nan Lijun and Song Lan were kidnapped by the "Yu Family" and taken to the valley. Song Lan was trapped in a woodshed full of snakes.
At that time, Yun Chen saved Song Lan, but was misunderstood as having frivolous intentions and was slapped by Song Lan.
In order to vent Yun Chen's anger and restore the Huo Gang's reputation, Huo Gan Nian shot Song Lan with "arrow after arrow" to make her lose face.
I thought the matter ended there, but in Kyoto, where etiquette is strict and people love to spread rumors, the matter of woad quickly became a topic of conversation among the people in the capital and even among ordinary people after dinner.
Song Lan, a high-ranking female official, was first molested and then humiliated in public.
People are happy to see the delicate rose fall into the mud.
The rumor quickly turned into a rumor, and Song Lan was rumored to marry Yun Chen and Huo Gan Nian twice, but both times ended in failure.
In the past few years, Songlan's reputation has plummeted, and the Su family has also been humiliated.
In Su Zhengyang's opinion, all the humiliation suffered by his sister was caused by Yun Chen. He wanted to take this opportunity today to vent his anger for Song Lan and beat up the "culprit".
Yun Chen felt ridiculous and helpless. She didn't know if it was because "Zuifengang" was getting to her head, but she had the urge to jump onto the table and shout, "I'm a woman! I don't like women!"
She held her dizzy head and walked onto the stage, staggering with every step.
Seeing that she was drunk, Ye Yan wanted to go forward to support her, and looked at Huo Gannian inquiringly:
"Young Master, General Yun is drunk and unfit for a duel. How about I take over?"
Huo Gannian looked at the "stupid" Su Zhengyang and the guests around him who were staring at each other, then he slowly leaned back on the cushions, tilted his body, and put on an attitude as if he was ready to watch the show:
"Let Chen'er come up. She's had a full meal today, so it's just right for her to digest the food."
Ye Yan could only give up and let Yun Chen grab a gnawed lamb leg bone from the table. He looked at Su Zhengyang sympathetically:
"Commander Su, please take care of yourself."
Hua Jue and Buyan also gave Su Zhengyang a thumbs up, with an expression that said "Brother, you are so brave."
On the other side, Yun Wang had sensed something was wrong from Yun Chen's aura, and immediately ordered the court doctor to come and be on standby.
Su Zhengyang smiled disdainfully, "Don't worry, Lord Yunwang. I will show some mercy and not let your house see too much blood. I guarantee that the 'Xuan Du Guard' will be alive, and there will be no need for a palace doctor."
Hua Jue and Buyan looked at Su Zhengyang as if he was a fool:
"You think too much. The court doctor was called for you."
Su Zhengyang was stunned. He looked past Yun Wang, Huo Gannian and Ye Yan and looked at Yun Chen, who was so drunk that he couldn't even walk steadily. Then he drew his sword and stabbed him, sneering:
"You are just bluffing! Look at my sword!"
