Chapter 4161

Upon hearing Liu Mingzhi's words, everyone present turned their curious gazes to Song Qing.

"Brother Song, my brother-in-law's question is also one I'd like to ask. You and Mrs. Ramir had your wedding night last night. When do you plan to hold your wedding banquet?"

As soon as Hu Yanyu finished speaking, Cheng Kai, Feng Bu'er, and their brothers all started asking questions.

"Yes, yes, Vice Commander Song, you and your wife Ramir have already consummated your marriage. When are you planning to let us brothers drink your wedding wine?"

Feng Bu'er gently sipped the wine from his lips and chuckled as he accepted Cheng Kai's words.

“Vice Commander Song, I’ve been thinking about it. If you’re planning to hold your wedding banquet with Mrs. Ramil within the next two days, then it wouldn’t be too late for the four of us—Brother Cheng, Brother Ning, Brother Chu, and I—to set off a couple of days later.”

As Feng Bu'er spoke with a smile, he slightly turned his head to look at Young Master Liu, who was sitting in the main seat.

"General, brothers, should there be no problem if we delay our journey to Safa, Zarka, Desali, and Kret by two or three days?"

When Liu Mingzhi heard Feng Bu'er ask him the question, he nodded slightly with a smile.

"No problem, not at all. Even if it's two or three days later, or even three or four days later, it's not a problem."

The matter of me ordering Cheng Kai and the other brothers to lead their personal guards to garrison the four cities of Safa is not something that is too urgent.

"You four brothers only need to set off within seven days."

After hearing from Young Master Liu that he had given his brothers some time, Feng Bu'er immediately picked up the wine glass on the table and gestured to Young Master Liu.

"General, with your words, I can finally rest assured."

"General, this humble general offers you a toast."

Liu Mingzhi smiled faintly and nodded, raising his wine glass in response to Feng Bu'er.

"Good brother, let's drink together."

After downing a glass of fine wine, Feng Bu'er slowly exhaled a breath of alcohol, then casually picked up the wine pot on the table and poured himself another glass.

He then turned his gaze back to Song Qing.

“Vice Commander Song, you heard what our commander just said. We brothers can stay in the capital for another five or six days!”

Five or six days is neither a long nor a short time.

"Vice Commander Song, whether the brothers can get to drink at your and Mrs. Ramir's wedding depends entirely on you."

As soon as Feng Bu'er finished speaking, Ning Chao quickly swallowed the braised beef in his mouth and immediately started joking with Song Qing.

"Vice Marshal Song, let me make this clear beforehand: if the four of us brothers, Lao Cheng, Lao Feng, and Lao Chu, don't expect me to send you and your wife, Mrs. Ramil, a wedding gift!"

Of course, what I just said only refers to my own opinion.

Whether Lao Cheng and his two brothers should send you and your wife a congratulatory gift is their own business.

As soon as Ning Chao uttered these joking words, Chu Jing immediately chimed in.

"Hey, Brother Ning, what you mean is also what I mean."

Deputy Commander Song, my thoughts are the same as Brother Ning's. If the four of us brothers don't get to drink at your wedding banquet, you can forget about receiving my congratulatory gift.

Oh! We can't even drink the wedding wine or eat the delicious food, yet they still want us to get a gift for nothing. Where in the world is there such a good thing?

Brothers, don't you agree?

"Yes, yes, yes, Brother Ning, Brother Chu is right."

Cheng Kai lightly patted the table in front of him twice, and said loudly with a big laugh, "Hahahaha, to be honest, that's exactly how it is."

"I can't attend the wedding banquet, I can't enjoy the delicious food, and yet I still have to send a wedding gift? That's just too unfair!"

Han Peng, Jiang Lei, Zhao Wentong, and others saw Cheng Kai and his friends joking around and joined in with smiles on their faces.

"Brother Cheng, Brother Feng, Brother Ning, Brother Chu, I must say, what you said makes a lot of sense."

Unfortunately, no matter how reasonable your points are, your brothers cannot stand on your side.

After all, our brothers are different from the four of you; we don't need to be transferred out to be stationed elsewhere.

"Brother Cheng, it's your problem if you can't attend the wedding banquet, but we're still waiting for Vice Marshal Song and Mrs. Ramir's wedding banquet!"

"Yes, yes. My brothers, it's just a wedding banquet, why are you all making such a fuss? If you can't drink, you can't drink!"
When Vice Marshal Song arranges his wedding banquet with Mrs. Ramil, the worst that can happen is that the brothers will help you have a few more drinks.

Don't worry, with our drinking capacity, we'll definitely drink our way back the money you gave us as a congratulatory gift.

Even if it's not enough to get your money's worth, you have to drink at least seven or eight tenths of it!

"That makes sense, that makes sense. We brothers may not have any other great skills, but we are good at drinking."

Listening to his brothers' teasing remarks and their banter, Song Qing chuckled and raised his glass to Liu Dashao, Hu Yanyu, and the rest of the group, gesturing back and forth.

"Third brother, brothers, we can talk and laugh as we please, but we can't let that stop us from drinking."

Come on, let's drink three cups together, brothers!

Upon hearing Song Qing's greeting, everyone raised their glasses in response.

"Brother, let's drink together."

"cheers!"

After everyone downed three glasses of wine, the atmosphere at the table became even more lively.

After Song Qing poured himself a cup of wine from the wine pot, he gently put the wine pot down.

Immediately, he picked up his chopsticks and ate several bites of the dish.

Song Qing casually placed the chopsticks on the plate, chuckled, and glanced at Cheng Kai, Feng Bu'er, Ning Chao, and Chu Jing, the four brothers.

"My good brothers, to tell you the truth, before I went out to the palace to buy ingredients, I had already ordered someone to find a brother who knows the Chinese almanac to calculate the auspicious days and times for the near future."

If there are auspicious days in the next half month, I, as your elder brother, will even risk my reputation to beg my third brother to allow you brothers to stay in the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate for a few more days.”

As Song Qing spoke these words in a serious tone, he turned and looked directly at Young Master Liu.

"Third brother, if there is an auspicious day within seven days, that would be even better."

However, if the auspicious day is not expected to arrive for another two weeks, then the seven days you've given is a bit too short.

Third brother, I rarely ask you for favors. If it is truly that there will be a good day in half a month, I dare to beg you to allow Cheng Kai and his three brothers to stay a few more days.

Currently, the territory of the Abbasid Caliphate is peaceful. Third brother, you have arranged for Cheng Kai and his three brothers to go to the four cities of Safa to garrison. Even if there are any military arrangements, it shouldn't make a difference if it takes a few more days, right?

As the saying goes, one should respect the Buddha even if one doesn't respect the monk.

Third brother, even if you don't give me face, you should at least give your sister-in-law, Mrs. Ramil, some face, right?

Half a month, at most half a month.

"Good brother, would you do me the honor of having your wife, Mrs. Ramil, do us a favor?"

As soon as Song Qing said this, the expressions on the faces of Cheng Kai, Feng Bu'er, Ning Chao, and Chu Jing changed slightly.

You have to understand that what the brothers said just now was purely a joke with their elder brother, Song Qing.

Liu Mingzhi gave his brothers seven days, which was already quite a lot.

Now, Song Qing was actually begging Young Master Liu to let him stay a few more days, leaving the brothers at a loss for what to do.

Cheng Kai quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and immediately turned to look at Young Master Liu.

"Commander, well, the brothers were just talking to Vice Commander Song..."

Before Cheng Kai could finish speaking, Liu Mingzhi waved his chopsticks and interrupted him, cutting off his half-finished sentence.

"Cheng Kai, you don't need to say anything. I'll think about it first."

Upon hearing what Young Master Liu said, Cheng Kai nodded vigorously without hesitation.

"Yes, yes, I understand."

Liu Mingzhi reached out and picked up the wine glass on the table. He nodded slightly, took a small sip of the wine, and then frowned and fell silent.

Upon seeing this, everyone at the table stopped drinking and eating, their gazes shifting with slight concern between Song Qing and the Liu brothers.

Hu Yanyu, in particular, had the most complicated expression among the group of people present.

While Song Qing and Cheng Kai were speaking, he tried to speak several times but couldn't find an opportunity.

Seeing his brother-in-law frowning and deep in thought, he had no choice but to swallow the words that were about to come out.

A moment later, Young Master Liu smiled faintly and let out a soft sigh.

"Shut up!"

Immediately, he reached into the wine pot and filled his own cup, then smiled and raised the cup to Song Qing in a gesture of respect.

"Brother, come on, let's have a drink."

Upon seeing this, Song Qing immediately raised his wine glass and clinked it with Liu Dashao's.

"Third brother, cheers!"

After downing a cup of wine, Young Master Liu, his smile unchanged, exhaled a long breath of alcohol and then poured himself another cup.

"Big brother."

"Yes, Third Brother, you speak, I'm listening!"

"Brother, there are some things I have my own plans for."

Although the trip that Cheng Kai, Ning Chao, Bu Er, and Chu Jing took to the four cities of Safa was not particularly urgent, they still had some things to do after arriving at their destination.

But since you've already asked, I'll do you the right thing.

Besides, as you just said, even if we don't care about the monk, we should care about the Buddha.

Even if I can't give my brother any face, I should at least give Mrs. Ramil some face, right?

Brother, this is fine.

Let's forget about half a month, let's just do ten days, just ten days.

Starting today, if there are auspicious days within the next ten days, then Cheng Kai and his brothers will set off again within ten days.

Conversely, as long as it's within ten days, Cheng Kai, Ning Chao, Bu Er, Chu Jing, and their brothers can set off whenever they want.

In this way, even though there might not be a good day within ten days, you can arrange a separate wedding banquet for Cheng Kai and his three brothers in advance!

Brother, what do you think?

Liu Mingzhi's words did not agree to Song Qing's request for a period of half a month, but they also gave Song Qing, his elder brother, a lot of face.

After hearing what Young Master Liu said, Song Qing did not show a happy smile on his face because Young Master Liu had given him face. Instead, he frowned slightly with a serious expression.

"Third brother, tell me the truth, will ten days affect some of your plans?"
If it has any impact, then you can pretend that I, as your brother, didn't say anything at all.

As your brother, I just asked you to give your sister-in-law and me some face, but that was on the condition that the territory of the Abbasid Caliphate be peaceful, and that the matter of you sending Cheng Kai, Ning Chao, Bu Er, and Chu Jing to the four cities of Safa is not very important.

Under these circumstances, I, as your brother, certainly hope that you can give me and your wife, Mrs. Ramil, some face.

But if the situation is more important, then the matter between your sister-in-law and me is not worth mentioning.

What's this talk of saving face? When it comes to serious matters, the issue of saving face between you and your wife, Mrs. Ramil, is nothing more than a trivial matter.

"It's just a wedding banquet anyway. I can invite Cheng Kai and his brothers to have a drink earlier, or I can treat them to another meal when I reunite with them."

As soon as Song Qing finished speaking, Cheng Kai and his brothers hurriedly chimed in to agree.

"Yes, yes, Commander-in-Chief, Vice Commander Song is right. I second that opinion."

"General, I second that opinion. What my brothers and I said just now was just a joke with Vice Commander Song."

Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously.

"General, I second that proposal as well."

"General, I second that proposal as well."

After hearing Song Qing's reply and the echoes of Cheng Kai and his three brothers, Liu Mingzhi smiled broadly, raised his wine glass, and gestured to the people at the three tables.

"Brother, fellow brothers, come, let's have a drink together first."
