[R18] Will drink wine – “About Wine” Chapter 38 [English]
byChapter 38 Military Discipline
After three or four days of snow, Xiao Chiye became more and more lazy and went to school less often.He recently made friends with several Longyou merchants and purchased some valuable items, such as pearls imported from Yongquan Port and jasper produced in Hezhou, which are all exquisite gadgets.
Li Jianheng is very diligent now. He goes to court as usual no matter how cold the weather is. He invites Hai Liangyi to give lectures every day. When he sees Xiao Chiye neglecting his duties, he will give him a few words of admonishment. It seems that he has really changed his mind.
Xiao Chiye was happy to see the success, so he hunted two deer from Fengshan Mountain and presented them to the palace.Li Jianheng was frightened by the donkey’s burning last time, and turned away from wild animals. He turned around and rewarded the deer to Hai Liangyi.
Seeing that the new year is approaching, sacrifices and official banquets are important events.The Sixth Department and the twenty-four yamen of Da Nei were all very busy. There was a shortage of people in charge of rites and rituals. Many things were uncertain and Li Jianheng had to be asked.Li Jianheng was also confused about this, and had to trouble Hai Liangyi and the Ministry of Rites to make decisions on everything.
Everyone was busy. Seeing that Xiao Chiye was fine, Li Jianheng gave him the important task of reviewing the roster of the Eighth Battalion.In this way, Qudu’s patrol completely fell into Xiao Chiye’s hands.
Xiao Chiye couldn’t shirk it, so he had to keep busy without touching the ground.
Shen Zechuan followed Xiao Chiye as he ran around, rarely encountering the Forbidden Army.
On this day, Tantai Tiger’s patrol was over and he had not yet removed his sword. When he returned to the Forbidden Army’s custody room, he saw Shen Zechuan standing outside.He rubbed his frozen scarred face and strode over.
Shen Zechuan turned his head and looked at the menacing Tantai Tiger.
“Shen Ba?” Tantai Hu stopped and said coldly to Shen Zechuan, “Shen Wei is your father, right?”
Shen Zechuan said: “Are you looking for me or me?”
“Of course I’m looking for you. Shen Wei’s mother has been burned to ashes a long time ago.” Tantaihu walked around Shen Zechuan and said, “Life in Qudu is still comfortable. Looking at this figure, it is comparable to the girls on Donglong Street. They are all well-fed and well-bred.”
Hearing this tone, Shen Zechuan knew that the person coming was evil.Chen Yang on the side did not say a word, and the Imperial Guards in the courtyard all leaned their heads to watch the show.
Tantai Hu continued: “With a pert ass and a thin waist, peach cheeks and fox eyes, even in Xiangyunfang, it is also the first-class material. Why can’t you live a good life and have to follow our governor everywhere in the wind and snow?”
Tantaihu stood still, his eyes like daggers, and continued: “Five years ago, Shen Wei licked the horseshoes of the Libei Iron Cavalry, which prevented the six states of Zhongbo from becoming a horse cesspit for the Twelve Divisions of Biansha. Now you are imitating your father, and you want to lick our governor? The girls who sell jokes in the brothel have hung up the curtains, and they are all good talents with special skills. What skills do you have to deserve to stand with the men who have fought in the war today?”
Shen Zechuan laughed and said, “I don’t deserve it. Master Tongzhi is going to take away my belt and expel me from the hospital?”
“Why are you spending so much effort?” Tantai Hu said, “You are the dog at the gate of our imperial army. Every kick will lift you up. What grandpa said to you today is in the face of the governor. Since you have become a human being’s ‘thing’, you must have the consciousness of not being a human being.”
“I was ordered by the emperor to wear the badge of Jinyiwei. I am on official business. I don’t belong to anyone else.” Shen Zechuan said, “I am a dog at the gate of the Forbidden Army, and the military master is not much different. We are all people who walk around the capital with royal rations. If there is any enlightenment, everyone must realize it with one heart and one mind.”
Tantai Hu held his two swords, his eyes widened, and said angrily: “Are you the same as men? Shen Gou is rude! I was the leader of the Dengzhou garrison in Zhongbo back then.” He took a step closer and said with hatred, “When the Chashi River was defeated, my brothers were in the Chashi pit! Do you know what it was like? People were turned into hedgehogs alive! Forty thousand people were buried in the sinkhole together! Forty thousand people!”
Shen Zechuan’s expression remained unchanged.
Tantaihu said: “My mother-in-law was also in Dengzhou. The Biansha cavalry came and attacked. Shen thief ran away, leaving all the old and weak women and children in Dengzhou like my mother to the Biansha cavalry! The city was massacred one after another. My own sister was dragged two miles by the Biansha cavalry and raped and killed at the gate of the city! You are living a carefree life, and you don’t have to worry about food and clothing! If you stick your butt out for others to fuck, you will be exempted from any crime!”
The cold wind was blowing in the courtyard. Chenyang saw that the situation was not good and it was too late to stop him.
Tantaihu pulled up Shen Zechuan’s collar and said with red eyes: “How dare you talk back to me when I say a few words to you today? You are all rich and well-off people. How do you know how many people died in that battle? How do you know that tens of thousands of people are still starving to death in Zhongbo today! Are you living a good life in Qudu, ah? You sleep well and live a good life, and there are people who have exonerated you one after another. How do you count the people who died in Zhongbo? How do you count them!”
Shen Zechuan held Tantai Hu’s arm and threw him to the ground.This was so earth-shattering that the people around him fell back.
Shen Zechuan rubbed two handfuls of snow, looked at Tantai Tiger, and said: “How to calculate? Calculate it with your own people. The Biansha cavalry entered, and it took a whole month from the banks of the Chashi River to Dengzhou. Shen Wei cowered and refused to fight. You tough men should cut his throat and raise troops to defend.”
Shen Zechuan stood up.
“If you humiliate me and hate me, I won’t be able to lose a piece of my flesh. In this world, blood debts must be repaid with blood. If you kill me, you will do justice to heaven and appease the public’s anger.” heHe spat lightly at Tantai Tiger and laughed maliciously, “Fuck your mother. It was the Biansha Cavalry who massacred the city, and it was also the Biansha Cavalry who killed 40,000 soldiers. If you want to mess with me, Shen Zechuan, you must first straighten your butt and wash away the urine that the Biansha Cavalry peed on top of your head. I have only one life, and it is not a pity to die. But if I die, will the debt of the Biansha Cavalry be written off?”
Tantai Hu said: “Young man, let yourself off the hook! Isn’t it your father who let the border cavalry enter the country?!”
“Then kill me.” Shen Zechuan raised his finger and scratched his neck, “Please, hurry up and kill me. Kill me and the Shen thief will become extinct.”
Tantai Tiger suddenly stood up, drew out his two swords, and pounced on Shen Zechuan.
Ding Tao just woke up and just stepped in the door. He was shocked when he saw this and shouted: “Tiger, don’t hurt him! I have to guard him!”
How could Tantai Tiger listen? The two-knife slashing was so exciting.Ding Tao jumped three feet high and was about to rush in. Unexpectedly, Gujin grabbed him by the back of the collar and stopped him from going.
“The tiger killed the whole family in Zhongbo,” Gu Jin said, “You can’t ask him to let Shen Zechuan go.”
Ding Tao said: “But isn’t that all Shen Wei’s doing? What does it have to do with he!”
Gu Jin hesitated for a moment, but did not continue.
The Tantai tiger knife slashed Shen Zechuan’s face, and Shen Zechuan spun around and kicked He’s wrist that was holding the knife crooked.Tantaihu’s arm went numb and he threw the knife away.
The curtain of the custody room happened to be raised, and Yang Zongzhi, the Minister of War, stared at the knife flying towards him.
Chen Yang immediately raised his arm to grab the handle of the knife. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chiye was faster. He spun the scabbard and knocked the knife down into the snow.
The steel knife was nailed into the ground with such force that all the Imperial Guards in the courtyard knelt down and said in unison: “Governor, forgive me!”
Xiao Chiye ignored them, hung up his sword, raised his hand to lift the curtain for Yang Zongzhi, and said with an apologetic smile: “I have nothing to do, and Shi Lang Yang was frightened.”
Yang Zongzhi didn’t dare to stay longer. He echoed awkwardly, walked out of the yard quickly, got on the carriage, and walked away without anyone seeing him off.
After Xiao Chiye saw off the people, he turned around and looked at the people kneeling in the courtyard.
Chen Yang knew that he was at fault, so he hurriedly said: “Governor, it’s because my subordinates neglected supervision and didn’t -”
“You’ve watched a lot of dramas.” Xiao Chiye suddenly fell on He’s shoulder as he spoke. He took out some white meat and fed it to Hai Dongqing, saying only, “Chaohui can’t do this.”
Chenyang’s face turned pale.
Xiao Chiye did not stand in front of others and scold Chenyang, because Chenyang was the leader of his guards and his confidant. He could not slap Chenyang in the face in public, which would make Chenyang unable to hold his head up in front of his brothers and lose his prestige. But his words hurt Chenyang’s heart the most.
Chenyang and Zhaohui were both good young men selected by Xiao Fangxu. Zhaohui was calm and had made numerous achievements following Xiao Jiming. He was a lieutenant general that few people dared to disapprove of even in Qudu.Chenyang had been staying at Libei Palace and finally followed Xiao Chiye five years ago.He acts cautiously, and what he fears most is being said to be inferior to Zhaohui. This is a competition between he and his brothers.
Xiao Chiye’s words today not only sounded the alarm, but also made him extremely ashamed.
“Five years ago when I took over as the governor, they all said that the Forbidden Army was a rogue. They didn’t respect military discipline and rules, and they didn’t take the governor seriously.” Xiao Chiye said fiercely, “I can’t lead this kind of soldiers. If you want to stay in the Forbidden Army, you must either become a decent person, or pack up and get out immediately.”
Tantaihu’s chest heaved, and he said angrily: “The governor is right, we all listened to you in the past, but what does he mean? He is also called a soldier? I am a commander, and I am a senior official. Is it wrong to say a few words about he? I have this job, but I don’t want to pretend to be a grandson in front of a butt seller!”
“He wears the badge of Jin Yiwei, and now he is working as a close guard. If you sit in my position and then shame him, that’s your ability.” Xiao Chiye lowered his eyes and looked at him, “Do you think you are right?”
Tantai Hu scratched his neck and said, “That’s right!”
“Then why are you so angry?” Xiao Chiye said, “Let’s go.”
Tantaihu suddenly raised his head and said in disbelief: “The governor wants to dismiss me because of this person?!”
“The Forbidden Army has no selfless hatred. The young master is pulling the strings for me. I won’t do anything for anyone.” Xiao Chiye lowered his voice and said, “I have the final say on the Forbidden Army. You can be your own master. Why do you ask me to be the governor? Take off this armor and these steel knives. If there is any blood feud, you can just go and seek it. As long as you can take it within three moves.”, I, Xiao Ce’an, will kowtow to you and admit your mistake.But if you are wearing this armor and wearing the badge of the Forbidden Army, you can only listen to me.You are so happy to stand in my face, Xiao Ce’an, so why don’t you talk about military discipline?”
Everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything.He ate the white meat fiercely and stared at them with his head raised.
Xiao Chiye said: “Don’t you usually say that I’m lustful and stupid? That’s what I’m going to do today. I’ll accept Tantai Hu’s badge and send him out!”
The Imperial Guards shouted in unison: “Governor, calm down!”
Tantaihu refused to admit his mistake. He pulled off the waist badge with trembling hands and said: “I have a fight with the governor’s brother. I have been favored by the governor in the past five years and I am willing to use my life to the governor! But what did I do wrong today? The governor wants to hurt my heart for beauty, so let me go. Okay! I, Tantaihu, admit it!”
After he said that, he put his waistband and helmet on the ground, banged his head three times at Xiao Chiye, stood up, took off his armor, and looked at Shen Zechuan with his inner clothes on.
“Servant Israel, let’s see how long you can live! I will take revenge from Biansha Baldy one day, but you can’t escape either!”
:
Tantai Hu wiped his eyes and clasped his fists in all directions.
“Goodbye, brothers!”
he took a step forward and really left.
