Chapter 127 If You Betray Him, I Will Skin You
Although this is a celebration banquet, the scope is very small, only the people in their army will attend. Tomorrow, the people who have been held hostage for several months and the surviving local officials will prepare a bigger celebration banquet for them, which will be the highlight.
Gu Changfeng was still frightened, so he borrowed some salt from the military doctor, went back to wash his body with salt water, changed his clothes, and then hurried to the celebration banquet.
He was still frightened by what had just happened, so he sat down, drank two sips of wine to calm his nerves, and waited patiently for others to arrive.
After a while, Xue Zhong and Shen Mingjue came side by side. They were now brothers stamped by General Shen, and naturally their relationship was very good in this military camp. Gu Changfeng thought sourly that maybe throughout the day, Shen Mingjue spent more time with Xue Zhong than with himself.
What's even more heartbreaking is that this might be the other party's own will, and I am with myself because of General Shen's orders.
When they first came into this world, their relationship was so good, how come it became like this today?
Gu Changfeng smiled bitterly, clenched his fists, and took the initiative to greet them.
"Ming Jue, brother Xue Zhong, please sit over here." Gu Changfeng waved at them.
Shen Mingjue was chatting and laughing with Xue Zhong with his head down. Hearing this, he paused and poked Xue Zhong next to him with his arm. The moment the other party saw Gu Changfeng, his expression became complicated, but he quickly smiled and walked over with Shen Mingjue.
"Thank you, Prince, for still thinking about us two brothers." Xue Zhong smiled and sat down between Gu Changfeng and Shen Mingjue.
Gu Changfeng: "..."
Xiaowo, didn't you say he was an NPC? Isn't this a perfect light bulb?
Xiao Snail just smiled and said nothing.
With Xue Zhong standing in the middle, Gu Changfeng felt even more depressed. He couldn't even peek.
Soon General Shen and Lieutenant General Xue were in their positions.
Deputy General Xue looked over and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the three men were there.
"General, we can begin."
General Shen nodded and raised a glass of wine: "This first glass of wine is for the soldiers who bravely charged for Da Qi." As soon as he finished speaking, he drank it first.
The people below drank the cup one after another.
Soon the second glass of wine was filled by the soldier beside the general.
"This second cup of wine is for our Deputy General Xue. During the time I was away, it was Deputy General Xue who led you. You were relaxed in riding and shooting, which led to our victory in the first battle."
Gu Changfeng held up the wine glass, feeling a little tipsy. If he had known, he would not have drunk while waiting for someone.
Xue Zhong and Shen Mingjue, who had just drunk two cups, looked normal and seemed like they could drink a few more.
"This third cup is for the Crown Prince and the Major General." General Shen looked over, with a look of gratitude in his eyes.
Although Gu Changfeng was a little drunk, he was still able to stand up: "General, you are too kind. We didn't go to the battlefield, so how can we have any merit?"
Shen Mingjue also said: "Yes, father. Although I asked someone to make new clothes first, it rained heavily and the Hu people did not use fire attack."
General Shen laughed loudly, and Deputy General Xue beside him answered for him: "Ming Jue, how can you know the truth of being prepared? With the prince here, the morale of the soldiers is much higher, and it is because of the momentum that they were able to win!"
Xue Zhong also followed suit: "Yes, yes, Prince, brother, the two of you should stop shirking your responsibilities and drink this glass of wine."
Gu Changfeng blushed and looked at Shen Mingjue, and they each drank the glass of wine.
As he sat down, he felt his mind becoming increasingly unsteady.
General Shen said: "Okay, okay, I won't toast anymore. Everyone, eat and drink well, and don't go home until you are drunk tonight! Drink to your heart's content!"
As soon as he finished speaking, many soldiers were eager to make a move and came to General Shen to toast him. Logically, someone should have gone to block the wine for the general, but Gu Changfeng was too busy to do so and almost fell down.
Xue Zhong suddenly came over and patted Gu Changfeng on the face: "Prince? Prince? Are you drunk?"
If Lieutenant General Xue saw such a disrespectful act, he would be scared to death.
But Gu Changfeng didn't have the energy to think about this action, he just waved his hand: "Not yet..."
"I heard from my brother that you bullied him?"
Gu Changfeng frowned, not realizing for a moment that this "brother" was Shen Mingjue, and said, "Nonsense, when did I ever bully him?"
"If you want to see me, you can see me. If you don't want to see me, you can't see me. If you want to be intimate, you can come over and show your affection. If you get tired of me, you can just throw me aside and ignore me. If this isn't bullying, what is it?"
Shen Mingjue finally noticed something was wrong here, and hurriedly pulled Xue Zhong's arm, telling him not to say anything more.
Xue Zhong said unhappily: "Brother, don't hold me back. I must have a good talk with him today."
He lifted Gu Changfeng by the collar and made him sit up straight. "I'm telling you, Gu Changfeng, I never thought of you as some noble prince. If you betray him, I will definitely skin you alive! I, Xue Zhong, have been a wild child without a father or a mother for a long time. Now that I finally have a family, I will definitely treat Shen Mingjue as my own brother... I'm not afraid of you, and I don't care what means of revenge you have!"
"You're just a coward who dares to do things but not to take responsibility. What's there to be afraid of? " I don't know if he was drunk too, but his tone blatantly revealed contempt.
Gu Changfeng was finally awakened by this "ferocious" threat.
"Who are you saying is a coward?" he asked unhappily.
Xue Zhong put his arm around Gu Changfeng's shoulders, which seemed to be a friendly exchange to outsiders. But in fact, he had a gloomy face and said word by word: "Of course it's you. Do you dare to say that you have no selfish feelings towards my brother?"
Gu Changfeng's mind moved, and his eyes saw Shen Mingjue who was looking at him anxiously not far away. He opened his mouth, but could not utter a word.
"Oh, or are you born to be fickle? I saw the letter you sent out a few days ago. Let me guess who he is? Could it be Master Wen who went to school with your brother? You are having an affair with him, right?"
"You and him, the two of you are in cahoots with each other and deceived my brother."
That was clearly a letter to the emperor! But he couldn't say that. Gu Changfeng retorted: "That's not true! Don't slander Master Wen's innocence."
"What about my brother's innocence?" Xue Zhong glared at him: "Why don't you just never mess with my brother for the rest of your life? If you do mess with him, stick with him to the end and don't get entangled with other people. If I find out that you still have contact with this Master Wen, don't blame me..."
Shen Mingjue couldn't stand it anymore and dragged Xue Zhong away from the banquet.
Gu Changfeng was completely sober, and after Xue Zhong's disturbance, he no longer had the appetite to eat.
"I know that too... I just can't be with him, I can't..."
