My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 4166 Celebrating the Great Dragon
Hearing Liu Mingzhi's low voice, the expressions on the faces of everyone at the table also became somber.

Especially Hu Yanyu's expression; his expression not only seemed to have become dejected, but also contained a complex and indescribable look.

After all, Duan Buren had died in battle against the Turkic soldiers.

Now, his brother-in-law suddenly brought up Duan Buren, who had unfortunately died in battle years ago. For a moment, he, the former prince of the Eastern Turkic court, really didn't know what to say.

Of course, it was just that I didn't know what to say for a moment.

In Hu Yanyu's view, it's impossible to say who is right and who is wrong in this kind of situation.

Back then, the world was not yet unified, and there were wars every year between the three kingdoms of Dalong, Jin, and Turk.

During those years of constant warfare, Duan Buren was not the only general who died on the battlefield during the Three Kingdoms period!
Whether they were soldiers of the Great Dragon Kingdom, Turks, or Jin Dynasty, they were simply serving their own masters, and it was impossible to say which side was necessarily on the side of justice.

Seeing that everyone's expressions had become downcast, Liu Mingzhi raised his head slightly and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

"call!"

After exhaling a long breath of alcohol with his lips slightly parted, Liu Mingzhi casually picked up the wine pot and poured himself a cup of fine wine.

"Speaking of which, that bastard still owes me two drinks!"

It's a pity, a real pity, that I, this young master, will never be able to drink the wine he owes me in this lifetime.

Hearing Liu Dashao's deep, hoarse voice, Song Qing reached out, picked up his wine glass, and drank the wine in one gulp.

"Third brother, in this life, we can't always live in the past. We should look forward when we need to."

It is heartbreaking to see our brother die on the battlefield. It is not just you, my third brother, who is saddened. As his elder brother, all of us brothers are also deeply saddened.

However, no matter how sad we brothers feel for him, we can't bear the thought that he can come back to life and appear before us again.

Besides, given Brother Bu Ren's character, if he were alive, he probably wouldn't want to see us brothers so sad for him.

If I were to say something that might be hard to hear, it's not just because I feel sorry for you alone. If any one of us brothers had unfortunately died on the battlefield back then, our spirits in heaven would have felt the same way.

As soldiers, none of us haven't been mentally prepared to die on the battlefield.

It is certainly a pity for someone in the military to die on the battlefield.

But if you look at it from a broader perspective, isn't this perhaps the best possible outcome?
Of course, when I say these things, I am not saying that you, my third brother, are not allowed to feel sad for your brother, but rather that I do not want you to be too sad and thus hurt your own heart.

Third brother, it's normal for you to feel sad because you can't bear to see your brother suffer. After all, we've been brothers who've been through thick and thin together for many years. How could you not be sad?
However, as sad as it is, we still have to look forward!

As soon as Song Qing finished speaking, Cheng Kai, Feng Bu'er, and the other brothers all chimed in loudly.

"General, let bygones be bygones, let bygones be bygones!"
I can't bear to think that if my brother were alive, he would be genuinely happy for you, Commander, if he could see that you have unified the world and that our Great Dragon Dynasty is so strong and prosperous today.

Oh right, and that kid Dingbang too.

If my brother's spirit in heaven could see that Dingbang, through his own efforts, has won the position of Grand Marshal of the Second Western Expeditionary Army of our Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty, he would surely be overjoyed and shout that he must have a good drink to celebrate.

Furthermore, Dingbang, this kid, has already led his 100,000 newly recruited soldiers to achieve remarkable military exploits as soon as he set out on the expedition.

I can't bear to see my brother's spirit in heaven witness this; I'm afraid he'd be so excited he wouldn't be able to sleep for three days and three nights.

We brothers can't bear to see that he has a successor; we should be genuinely happy for him!

"General, I second Vice Commander Song and Brother Cheng's words."

Life is fleeting, like the life of grass and trees in autumn.

The road of life for us brothers is still long!
Back then, Brother Bu Ren died on the battlefield so that our Great Dragon Dynasty could unify the world.

Back then, the main purpose of our brothers following you, Commander, in your campaigns across the north and south, east and west, was to unify our Great Dragon Dynasty and gradually make it prosperous and strong, wasn't it?
To put it bluntly, our common wish as brothers is for our great dragon dynasty to become better and stronger.

Now, the world is unified, the people live in peace and prosperity, and the power of the Great Dragon is growing stronger and stronger.

Next, what we brothers need to do is to do our best to take our Great Dragon Dynasty to a higher level.

The days of peace and prosperity, and all nations paying tribute, are long gone.

As the ancients said, "Under the whole heaven, all land belongs to the king; on the shores of the whole land, all people are subjects of the king."

Today, our Great Dragon Dynasty is not only powerful, but also militarily formidable.

In this way, what's the point of all nations paying tribute?

Since we brothers are going to do this, let's just down this much liquor and conquer the world.

Only in this way can we best comfort the spirit of our beloved brother in heaven.

No sooner had Feng Bu'er finished speaking those passionate words than Ning Chao, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly raised his right hand and slammed it heavily on the table in front of him.

"That's right, Brother Fuji is absolutely right."

Forget about all the nations paying tribute; if we brothers are going to do something, we'll do something to unify the world.

Your Excellency has a broad vision and a far-sighted perspective.

Under your command, our brothers will surely be able to conquer all before us.

As long as you give the order, my brothers will risk their lives to build an unprecedented and magnificent undertaking for you.

If Brother Duan were alive, he would be overjoyed to see this!

"General, I second that proposal."

"General, we second that proposal as well."

Upon hearing Cheng Kai and his brothers' impassioned and passionate words, and seeing their other good brothers echoing their sentiments, Song Qing immediately reached out and picked up his wine glass from the table.

"Brothers, there are some things I, the deputy commander, won't say more about."

Come on, let's raise a glass together, brothers.

Congratulations to the Great Marshal! Congratulations to our Great Dragon Dynasty!

Upon hearing Song Qing's greeting, everyone at the table raised their glasses with excitement and turned to look at Young Master Liu.

"Wu!"

"We congratulate the Great Marshal! We congratulate the Great Dragon!"

"Congratulations to my brother and brother-in-law! Congratulations to Da Long!"

"This humble servant congratulates the young master! Congratulations to the great dragon!"

Seeing this, Liu Mingzhi took several deep breaths with his lips slightly parted, and then solemnly reached out and picked up his wine glass.

"Exhale! Inhale! Exhale! Inhale!"

"Hoo~breath~"

"Brother Huyan, brothers, let's drink together."

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

"Respectfully, Commander, we'll drink first!" "We'll drink first!"

After everyone at the table finished their drinks in one gulp, they all slammed their empty glasses down on the table with a hearty expression.

Hu Yanyu picked up the wine pot and poured himself a cup of fine wine, then raised the cup and gestured to Young Master Liu.

"Brother-in-law, there are some things that we brothers both know perfectly well."

Therefore, I, as your elder brother, will not waste any more words.

This cup of wine is a toast I offer to you alone, brother.

Upon hearing this, Liu Mingzhi solemnly nodded to Hu Yanyu, then picked up his own wine glass, which he had just filled, and gently clinked it against Hu Yanyu's.

"Brother Huyan, cheers!"

"cheers!"

After downing a glass of fine wine, Hu Yanyu and Liu Dashao exchanged a smile and gently placed their empty wine glasses on the table.

After pouring himself a full cup of fine wine, Liu Mingzhi picked up the wine pot and used the spoon in the porcelain bowl to pour two spoonfuls of egg and garlic sauce onto the shepherd's purse steamed bun in his hand.

Immediately, he stood up from his chair, raised the wild vegetable bun he was holding, which had been drizzled with egg and minced garlic, and gestured towards the clear blue sky where the sun was already setting. Then, with a sigh, he put the shepherd's purse bun into his mouth.

Upon seeing this, the people present either quickly stopped eating or gently placed their wine glasses on the table in front of them.

Immediately afterwards, everyone present stared intently at Young Master Liu, who was devouring shepherd's purse steamed buns.

Having been brothers for so many years, they naturally understood what it meant when Young Master Liu stood up, raised the wild vegetable bun in his hand, and gestured towards the clear blue sky.

Soon.

Liu Mingzhi gently licked the egg and garlic paste off his lips as he slowly sat back down in the chair behind him.

"Eldest brother, Brother Huyan, and all my brothers."

"I just brought up the matter of Bu Ren and that bastard without any other meaning. I just suddenly remembered the past between me and that bastard Bu Ren, and couldn't help but sigh."

Everything you brothers said just now made perfect sense.

People can't always live in the past; they should look forward when it's time to look forward.

Life is full of disappointments, eight or nine out of ten things don't go as planned.

We cannot let something sad keep us stuck in a sad mood forever and stop us from moving forward!
Life's journey is long, let's cherish every moment together, brothers.

Come on, let's raise a glass and drink together, brothers!

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

"General, we brothers will drink first as a sign of respect."

"Woohoo~"

"Good wine, good wine, it's fucking great!"

After exhaling a long breath of alcohol, Liu Mingzhi sighed loudly and poured himself a cup of wine from the wine pot.

"Brother, Brother Huyan, fellow brothers."

"If we keep drinking like this at this point, it'll just become meaningless."

Now, we brothers can freely find any of our good buddies to play drinking games with.

As Liu Mingzhi spoke with a smile, he forcefully waved his right hand.

"Brothers, let's start! Let's play rock-paper-scissors!"

"Haha, Commander, with you saying that, then we brothers are going to drink to our hearts' content!"

"Yes, yes, Commander, we brothers won't hold back!"

"Vice Commander Song, you heard what the Commander-in-Chief said. Is the wine you arranged enough for the brothers to drink today?"

Upon hearing this, Song Qing immediately shouted back, "Brothers, drink to your heart's content! There's plenty of alcohol!"

Liu Mingzhi took a deep breath with his mouth open and glanced at the group of people at the three tables with a smile.

"Brothers, let's drink to our hearts' content, and not leave until we're drunk!"

"Hahaha, very good, very good! The commander is wise, and the deputy commander is mighty."

"Brothers, since the Commander-in-Chief and Vice Commander-in-Chief Song have both said so, let's begin!"

"Brother Han, the last time we drank together, I lost to you in a drinking game. Today, I'm determined to get my revenge."

"Come on, let's play three rounds, you and me."

"I'm not afraid of you. Come on then."

"Hey buddies, Five Leaders..."

"Good brothers, everything goes smoothly, may things get better and better..."

In just five or six breaths, the table was filled with the excited sounds of people playing drinking games.

Listening to the sounds of his brothers playing drinking games around him, Liu Mingzhi casually rolled up his sleeves a few times and then chuckled as he surveyed the group of people at his table.

"Brothers, I haven't played rock-paper-scissors in ages. Who wants to join me for a round?"

Upon hearing this, Song Qing, Hu Yanyu, and their brothers exchanged glances.

Suddenly, Feng Bu'er raised his hand and slammed it hard on the table in front of him.

"General, brother, let me handle this."

Upon hearing this, Liu Mingzhi immediately turned around with a big smile and extended his right hand to Feng Bu'er.

"Hahaha, haha~ hahahahaha."

"Good brother, let's go then."

"Good buddies, may you prosper in all four seasons."

"Good buddies, nine-linked rings."

"You two are so good, seven coincidences..."

Time passes silently, quietly.

Amidst the rising and falling shouts, the sun in the cloudless sky gradually shifted towards the western horizon.

Before we knew it, the western horizon was filled with clouds that had already turned half the sky red.

At this moment, some of the people at the table had already slid under the table and were sound asleep with even breathing, while others were still drunkenly holding their glasses and drinking heavily with their brothers.

As the sun began to set, the banquet in the courtyard gradually came to an end.
