Sheng Fu

Chapter 853: Confusion in Youth

Yu Wenjun said: "I know that this is a compliment from the Imperial Master, but Gu Yu is my disciple after all, and it is not appropriate to describe him as a dog."

Li Hongshan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Yuwen Jun to be so protective of his son.

Considering the previous issue regarding the governance of Haomiao City, Yu Wenjun's attitude was extremely strong.

Li Hongshan curled his lips and smiled, "Your Highness really values ​​talent. It is indeed an honor to work under Your Highness."

Yu Wenjun reminded: "Gu Yu is a talented person that Gu Yong found for me when he went to the Demon Realm. In fact, Gu Yong is also his guide."

Li Hongshan finally came to his senses and said, "So that's how it is."

"My words just now were not very appropriate. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

Yu Wenjun said honestly: "I know that the State Master has good intentions, but when I see Gu Yu, I think of the past when I asked Gu Yong to go to the Demon Realm, and I can't help feeling unhappy."

"I hope the Grand Master will not worry too much."

It has not been long since Gu Yong passed away. Not to mention in a short period of time, I am afraid that Yu Wenjun will find it difficult to let go of it for the rest of his life.

……

Outside the city, inside the camp, there was an open-air barbecue, a whole roasted lamb, golden in color and filled with fragrance.

Xu Huanshan, Xiao Chu, and Zhang Benchu ​​sat around the barbecue grill.

Xu Huanshan opened a pot of fine wine and said, "This is the Thousand Years Drunk. It was given to me by His Majesty when I got married. I drank the Thousand Years Drunk other than at my wedding. After that, I never took out the imperial wine again."

"Today, the three of us brothers are sitting together, it's worth celebrating, so I took out the Millennium Drunk."

Zhang Benchu's eyes were clear and ardent. He knew that Senior Brother Xu Huanshan was a man who believed in the rule of rulers, subjects, fathers and sons. The Millennium Drunk he took out today was still of considerable weight.

The imperial palace wine is divided into Hundred Years Drunk, Thousand Years Drunk, and Ten Thousand Years Drunk.

Imperial wines of this level, Wannianzui, were only stored in the homes of a few princes and nobles.

Although Xu Huanshan was appreciated by His Majesty, his achievements were not yet worthy of His Majesty's reward of the title of Wannianzui.

Xu Huanshan began to pour wine. The wine was clear and seemed to be able to illuminate the darkest corners of people's hearts.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Huanshan took out a dagger, cut three pieces of mutton and placed them on the plates of the three people.

"We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's have a drink first," Xu Huanshan suggested.

Zhang Benchu ​​and Xiao Chu raised their glasses at the same time, and the three of them drank it all in one gulp.

After joining the army, although there is a prohibition on alcohol in the army, many people's good drinking capacity is really developed through experience in the military.

After a glass of wine, Xu Huanshan gave Xiao Chu a look.

Xiao Chu's expression was gloomy and his throat trembled slightly, but Xu Huanshan's face suddenly became stern.

Xiao Chu finally made up his mind, picked up the wine glass and bowed slightly, looking at Zhang Benchu ​​with a serious face, and said: "At that time, I was young, my ambitions were high, and I was also a disciple of a general. Many times, I never treated people as human beings."

"I'm sorry for what happened back then!"

"I hope that Brother Benchu ​​will not bear grudges against me."

Zhang Benchu ​​was stunned for a moment, and before he could say anything, Xiao Chu drank it in one gulp.

Zhang Benchu ​​also remembered that he was severely beaten in General Weiyuan's mansion.

It was Xiao Chu who wanted to target Yuwen Jun in the beginning, and it was also because Zhang Benchu ​​was poor and had a bad background, and children from poor families were easy to bully.

People who live a privileged life will never regard people who live a hard life as human beings. Perhaps, in the eyes of some rich people, the poor are really animals.

Later, the situation was different. Zhang Benchu ​​became a star general. Although he had made many achievements on the battlefield, he did not have a great record worth showing off for the time being. But he was still young, and sooner or later he would encounter his own big scene.

Zhang Benchu ​​pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, I have forgotten everything that happened in the past."

"You don't have to do this."

  In fact, Zhang Benchu ​​really wanted to ask, if he could do it again, would Xiao Chu treat him as a human being?

But Zhang Benchu ​​didn't ask this question because it was meaningless.

Xu Huanshan picked up the wine pot and said, "Why don't you drink it? I'll fill it up for you."

Zhang Benchu ​​realized it belatedly and drank it all in one gulp.

Xu Huanshan poured wine for the two of them one by one, and said with a bitter smile: "In fact, I was lucky to become the direct disciple of the Great Elder. I am also very grateful to the Great Elder for allowing me to live a decent life in a place like Bailu Academy."

"Even I, looking back at the past, really envy those sons of the rich and powerful. They seemed to have endless money and a bright future."

"Although I had a decent relationship with Xiao Chu at the beginning, there were many times when I really felt that I was not worthy of being Xiao Chu's friend. There was no other way. If a person has a bad background, he will naturally lack confidence in many things, especially in his youth when he was full of vanity."

“Perhaps only the poor and unlucky have a youth like mud.”

“I was terrible at it, but not that terrible.”

"I set up this game today in the hope that you can put aside your prejudices against each other. Xiao Chu was really wrong. He really risked his life on the battlefield."

"The past is not worth remembering."

Hearing this, Zhang Benchu ​​raised his wine glass and looked at Xiao Chu, saying sincerely, "Please give me more advice in the future."

When Xiao Chu heard this, he felt very uncomfortable. He regretted his childish behavior and also felt that Zhang Benchu ​​was too high for him now.

His mount is Ming Dun, and his cultivation is at the Po Ji realm. If Zhang Benchu ​​continues to develop at this pace, it is estimated that it won’t take long for him to become a powerful cultivator at the Gui Yuan realm.

The people whom I once looked down upon have completely surpassed me.

Xiao Chu is a proud person. Although he is unwilling to accept this fact deep down in his heart, he has to accept it.

Xiao Chu raised his glass and said, "Brother Benchu ​​is very generous. If you need me in the future, just ask. I dare not say anything about other places, but my Xiao family still has some connections in the imperial capital."

Zhang Benchu ​​responded gently, "Sure."

The two of them drank it all in one gulp, very quickly, like an arrow shot into the endless sky.

On the city wall, Yue Bo and Xiao Nan were strolling and couldn't help but look at the golden roasted whole lamb, so that they both felt hungry at the same time.

"Xu Huanshan is still a good man, although he lacks a lot of edge. But this is also the reason why Your Majesty appreciates him. As long as your Xiao Chu follows Xu Huanshan well in the future, he will have a bright future. Your Xiao family is destined to flourish." Yue Bo said.

Yue Bo was not very clear about the past events between Xiao Chu and Zhang Benchu, but he vaguely remembered one bad thing. What Yue Bo remembered vividly was that the dean and Gu Yong joined forces to seek justice for Zhang Benchu, a child from a poor family.

There is no need to say much about the character of those two people.

But up to now, many people feel that Zhang Benchu ​​is not worthy of Pu Weiqing and Gu Yong joining forces to demand an explanation from the world.

Thinking back to the past, Xiao Nan blushed and said self-deprecatingly, "At first, I thought Yuwen Jun and Zhang Benchu ​​were soft persimmons. I didn't expect that many years later, even the state teacher would follow Yuwen Jun's lead."

"The situation changed so quickly that even us old guys can't stand it."

Yue Bo laughed and said, "Actually, I can't stand it either, especially since Yu Wenjun is the first person to successfully capture a city since the beginning of the great struggle, and he's still a young man."
