Laughing at Chang'an

The time is one minute and one second towards twelve o'clock.

The venue was buzzing with people, Geng Yan and other bigwigs were sitting at the main table in the middle under the rostrum, and there were still many people around the table, brazenly pretending to be friendly, not going to the inn.The seats at the table were arranged by Li Xifeng. The first row under the rostrum, from the main table to the left, is the leader or representative of the mercenary regiment who is slightly inferior to Geng Yan and other bigwigs, and from the main table to the right is the Geng Army Internal senior cadres.Li Shen was originally at the second table on the right hand side of the main table, and should have been at the first table, but Li Shen came back too suddenly, so he thought twice, and put someone on the second table, and there happened to be three people on the second table The big beauty is not treating Li Shen badly.

But in this way, Geng Liancheng, who was originally arranged at the second table, was adjusted to the third table.

Li Xifeng looked at Li Shen in disbelief as he walked towards the table in the corner of the first row. Sitting there were Mu Xiaobai and several captains of the elite combat team, all of whom were direct descendants brought out by Li Shen.Seeing Li Shen slap the white-haired young man away, doves occupied the magpie's nest, and sat down safely, he woke up like a dream, and hurriedly arranged for someone to add another seat to that table.

He was almost moved to tears.

If there is trouble in today's celebration, he, the person in charge, will not be able to go around.Li Shen fought with Geng Liancheng, the scene was unimaginable.Regardless of how outsiders saw it, if the people below my own family saw it, I'm afraid they would all have bad thoughts.He never dreamed that Li Shen could bear such a tone, it felt a little unreal, God knows that Li Shen went to that ghost place of Hongdao for two years, and after he came back, he also knew what it means to take care of the overall situation?

Li Xifeng collected himself, put aside these miscellaneous thoughts, and arranged for the master of ceremonies to prepare to go on stage.

Seeing the opening of the curtain on the stage, the guests who were still staying at the main table had no choice but to spread out and take their places.The master of ceremonies was standing by the stage, already ready, Li Xifeng also returned to his seat, he looked down at his watch, there were still ten seconds left.

Geng Yan, who was sitting at the main table, suddenly stood up without warning.

All eyes immediately focused on the past.

Geng Yan stood there, looking around the field, as if looking for something.In the end, his gaze was fixed somewhere on the left, as if he saw something funny, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Li Shen, who was paddling a little bee with Mu Xiaobai, suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck.

Biting his cigarette, he turned his head slowly, and saw Geng Yan standing there far away, beckoning to him.

Across countless tables, chairs and heads, Geng Yan laughed silently, seeing that Li Shenmu was stunned for no response, he waved again.

There was an empty seat next to Geng Yan.

When Li Xifeng was arranging the venue, Geng Yan personally asked him to leave an empty seat beside him.At that time, this guy was still secretly guessing whether it was for the mistress who had never shown up. You must know that Geng Yan's emotional problems have always been the biggest puzzle for the Geng army.

Now that the riddle was revealed, Li Xifeng almost went blind.

Li Shen walked through a long row of tables with a straight face, and came down to the main table in full view.Before he opened his mouth to speak, Geng Yan pushed him to the empty seat.Geng Yan sat down after him, smiled at the bosses at the same table, raised his hand and slapped Li Shen on the back of the head.

Li Shen's forehead was slapped on the table, causing the dishes to jump.

Above the head, Geng Yan spoke half helplessly and half fondly.

"It's all started and you're still running around, can't you let me save myself?"

………………

On the main table, Geng Yan sat with Li Tieyi of Glory on his right hand and Li Shen on his left.The latter also has a clear red mark on his forehead, which was knocked just now.

Li Shen lowered his head, looked at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose, and sat upright.Geng Yan next to him is wearing a white brocade robe today, with dragon patterns embroidered with light gray dark thread, his face looks very exotic, with a deep outline, a straight nose, but black eyes that shine.He chatted and laughed happily with all the big shots, and occasionally put a chopstick dish into Li Shen's bowl, and that action was so natural that no one could fault it.

Li Shen ate food in silence, without raising his head or interjecting, putting away all his presence, treating himself as a decoration.

On the rostrum, the glorious history of the Geng Army was shown, and the lines were all kinds of sensational. After the history of the Geng Army was finished, the veterans came to the stage to give their speeches one by one. Supervisor Zhang Puqiu went up and said dozens of words.Li Shen had never participated in rehearsals beforehand, nor had he written any drafts. With the little ink in his stomach, it was ridiculous to say so.

Fortunately, Li Xifeng didn't arrange for him either.

In the end, Geng Yan went up.

Geng Yan stood on the stage, dressed in a white robe, with dazzling blond hair, and an aura that was beyond words.Li Shen turned sideways, put his elbows on the back of the chair, and looked at each other with cups, but his memory ran away unconsciously——

It was a snowy night in Guanzhou City, Qi State.

The battle was won, and the city lord's mansion held a celebration banquet.At that time, the Geng Army, which had only a dozen or so members, was still called the Black Prison, and it was the first time it received a war mission. It was originally a cooperative mission, and there were three teams in total.But when we got to the ground, the situation was obviously different from what was stated on the task list. The number of enemies more than doubled.One family left without saying anything, and the other stayed behind to negotiate commissions with their employers, but they couldn't reach an agreement, so they also left.

In the end, there were only a dozen or so Geng soldiers left, leading less than [-] old, weak, sick and disabled people in the city, to fight the tens of thousands of enemy troops outside for half a month, and stubbornly persisted until the reinforcements arrived and held on. This Guanzhou City.

In this battle, the Geng Army defeated three people, but they became famous in one battle.

That night, Li Shen was impatient with socializing at the wine table, so he found an opportunity to get away from the celebration banquet, and with two jars of wine, he climbed up to the half-destroyed city gate tower.

The snowflakes fell rustlingly, burying the painful traces left by the war inside and outside the city, and dyed the world into a piece of pure white.

He was a little dazed watching, and suddenly someone touched the wine jar in his hand.

Geng Yan wore the white brocade robes at the celebration banquet, and sat down on the wall with the wine jar in his arms. Behind him was the clear frost and white moon as bright as a wheel.His golden hair was lifted high by the snow wind, with a drunken face on his face, he said to Li Shen: "One day, I will set foot on the top of Chang'an, and see how different the scenery is."

In the empty city, Geng Yan's voice was spread far away, and disappeared at the end of the dark night.

He asked Li Shen.

"Would you like to accompany me?"

... Li Shen suddenly woke up, surrounded by thunderous applause, Geng Yan on the stage had finished speaking, and raised his glass to respect the audience.Li Shen stood up with the others, raised the wine glass with both hands, his sleeves blocked his sight, closed his eyes, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

So many past, who can remember one by one.

When Geng Yan came back to take his seat, he laughed and was very interested, and suddenly put his hand on Li Shen's shoulder, and raised his glass to touch.Before Li Shen could react, the two cups had already touched each other with a soft ding.

Li Shen turned to look at Geng Yan, but the latter blinked childishly at him.

……What's the meaning?

He was holding the wine glass stupidly, and saw Geng Yan turned his head away, talking and laughing with other people as usual, as if the scene just now was an illusion he saw.

The atmosphere of the banquet has been heated to a climax, as the host, members of the Geng Army began to circle the table with wine bottles.Geng Yan's table was the hardest-hit area, and almost every team had to come over to play a round.Those who are brave enough to pick Geng Yan directly, and those who are not so courageous, just take Li Shen, a pond fish, as the knife.If Li Shen can push it, he pushes it, if he can't push it, he raises his glass and tastes it. He behaves very uninteresting, but he can't stand it with the excuse of 'the old injury is not healed, it's not suitable for drinking', so it's not good to force him.

When Li Xifeng came over with the wine bottle, he found that Li Shen was still sitting on the seat, and he was surprised: "Hey, why haven't you poured Li Sanbei yet?"

Li Shen, known as 'Li Sanbei', grinned with a smile that wasn't real.

"Come here." Li Xifeng wrapped his arms around Li Shen's neck, picked up his cup and filled it up, and then stuffed it into his mouth, "Brother will drink with you, so I won't get drunk today."

Li Shen was about to resist, when he suddenly had someone kick him under the table, this kick was extremely tricky, it hit the numbness in the back of his knee.He froze all over, and Li Xifeng seized the opportunity to forcefully pour a glass of wine into his mouth.Frowning and swallowing the wine, Li Shen looked to the side in disbelief, but saw Geng Yan turning his head and talking to Li Tieyi, without looking this way at all.

Who did it? ... Who else could have done it! ?

His gaze almost penetrated the back of Geng Yan's head, and Li Xifeng still wanted to make fun of it, so he poured another glass to drink.Li Shen withdrew his gaze from staring at Geng Yan, took the wine glass, and was bored without saying a word.

He was so straightforward, but Li Xifeng didn't feel any sense of accomplishment, and said in surprise, "I haven't seen you in two years, you're good at drinking."

Before he finished speaking, Li Shen collapsed.

Li Xifeng stared at the two eyeballs, his face flushed red, after all he couldn't hold back, he leaned on the chair and laughed wildly, attracting the attention of everyone at the table.When everyone looked at it, they saw that there was no one above Li Shen's seat, and further down, oh, there was a person under the table.

Geng Yan sighed, knelt down and fished the person out from under the table, put one hand under his knees and picked him up horizontally, apologized to the person on the table, and carried Li Shen out of the venue.

Take the elevator all the way to the top floor.

The topmost floor of the Gengjun Building is Geng Yan's office, a whole floor.He carried Li Shen up to the rooftop, laid him flat on the floor, turned and left, and not long after, he came back with two wine jars.

Geng Yan held the wine jar and sat down beside Li Shen.

On the 69-storey rooftop, the sky is so close that you can grasp it with your hands. The wind is strong and the sun is shining brightly.

Li Shen quietly opened his eyes.

"Specially asked me to come back. Is this the summit of Chang'an you want?" He asked.

"Not yet." Geng Yan whispered, "It's very close." With his back to Li Shen, he couldn't see the expression on his face, and his voice was a little weak.

"You have to accompany me to see the end."

Li Shen put his arm behind his head, maybe because the alcohol has not gone down, he is still a little dizzy.How did he answer ten years ago?Can not remember.

He turned his eyes sideways and looked at Geng Yan's sitting back.

Li Shen never had any lofty ideals. He came to Chang'an because of his mother's last words. He became a mercenary to earn money. Later, he met Yang Huxing and joined the Geng Army in a daze. Because of various people and things, he walked step by step. to today.He doesn't feel that he is living with the tide, and he decides the way to go... But compared to Geng Yan or Yang Huxing, he doesn't have a clear goal, or he is a person without dreams.

"very nice……"

"Ok?"

"I said, those of you who have dreams, it's great."

Geng Yan was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing. He stretched out his hand and patted the center of Li Shen's eyebrows, with an incomprehensible deep meaning in his eyes, and slowly suppressed his smile.

"Say something stupid, I should envy you."
