C341 Happy Birthday
At night, in the mountain stronghold of the bandits, a feast was held with bright lights, and the atmosphere was full of joy.
One by one, people who had nothing better to do were called up and placed a plate in front of each person's table.
The people sitting in the reception hall were all the trusted aides of the bandit boss.
After the food was served, the maid standing by the table filled the table with wine.
The brawny man sitting at the highest point picked up the wine that had just been poured.
Whether they were sitting in the reception hall or cooking outside, they knew what they were going to do when they saw the brawny man stand up. All of them stood up with a meaningful look.
The brawny man held a wine glass in his hand and toasted to everyone. Then, he said loudly, "Today is my Zhao Guochang's birthday. Today, I've slaughtered a total of 9,999 ducks. The chefs that I specifically asked to find have made today's Duck Feast! "
"Boss is awesome!" Everyone shouted loudly.
In fact, they all understood what it meant to find a chef. That was to snatch the stolen duck. As for where the 9,999 ducks came from, that was to snatch them from the village at the foot of the mountain.
"There are no other requests tonight, eat well! Drink well!" Zhao Guochang then shouted, "There is no need to patrol today. All of you will not return until you are drunk!"
" Okay! " There were so many people below, and all of them were boiling with excitement.
After saying that, Zhao Guochang went back to his seat. Everyone sat down and started to eat the Duck Feast.
The Duck Feast consisted of different parts of the duck's body. They gathered together and made different dishes.
The dishes in front of everyone's table had different flavors. They drank some wine and tasted the delicious food. They also discussed in a low voice about which type of food was the most delicious.
At this moment, all the bandits felt like they were the big winners of their lives. They were extremely happy.
At this moment, a person stood out, holding a wine cup in his hand. He looked at those who knew how to eat, and said, "All of you stop for a moment!"
Then, that person joked, "You only know how to eat. Today is the birthday of the boss!"
After saying that, he bowed to Zhao Guochang, who was sitting at the top. Then, he raised his glass and shouted, "Zhu Guochang, the boss, will live a long life. His life will be longer than Nanshan Hill!"
The others also remembered when they heard that. Then, they stood up and toasted to Zhu Guochang. After drinking the wine, they shouted together, "Zhu Guochang, our boss, lives longer than a hundred years! You live longer than Nanshan Hill!"
Listening to everyone's blessings, Zhao Guochang was beaming with joy. His eyes were about to disappear.
"Good, good, good!" Zhao Guochang said good three times in a row. He also raised his wine glass and downed it in one gulp. Then, he laughed loudly.
Just as Zhao Guochang was laughing loudly, a sudden voice came from outside the gathering hall. It did not fit the current situation.
"Chief Zhu Guochang, rest in peace forever!"
In eternal sleep? Rest in peace forever?
Who is this person? He actually dares to say that Guochang is the boss of Guochang. Although the boss will not bleed today, see if I don't torture and torture him today.
After hearing the unexpected congratulatory speech, everyone turned their heads to look at him with unfriendly gazes. They saw a person standing at the entrance of the Judiciary Hall, and those ordinary underlings. They were scared silly by the sudden appearance of Lin Rann.
"Whose subordinate are you? Why haven't I seen you before?" Someone stood out. That person was chief steward, the soldier in the stronghold. He was the leader in charge of all the soldiers in the stronghold.
His name was Zhao Yi, Zhao Guochang's younger brother. Although his strength was not very strong, with Zhao Guochang's younger brother's identity, he still took the position of bandit soldier chief steward.
Zhao Yi was arrogant and despotic. He could beat and scold ordinary soldiers whenever he wanted to.
The soldiers under chief steward were the ten great commanders. Each of them was in charge of a portion of the military power, and they were all trusted aides of the chief, Zhao Guochang.
After the soldiers were treated unfairly by Zhao Yi, they generally did not dare to say anything. Even if they said it to the chief commander, those chief commanders wouldn't offend Zhao Yi for their sake. Therefore, as time passed, Zhao Yi felt like he was in the entire mountain stronghold. He was the most powerful person besides Zhao Guochang.2
Therefore, after Lin Rann came out, Zhao Yi was the first to stand out. He pointed his finger at Lin Rann and questioned him loudly.
Seeing that Lin Rann didn't reply, Zhao Yi became even angrier. He looked at the ten Grand Marshals around him and said, "This man is one of your subordinates."
All the commanders shook their heads, saying that this man wasn't their subordinate.
At this time, if anyone dared to say that Lin Rann was their subordinate, Zhao Yi's fury would surely be implicated.
If there was a commander who admitted it, then it would be a light punishment for the crime of not disciplining him properly or temporarily removing his military authority. In the worst case, he might be executed along with Lin Rann who was standing in front of him.
Seeing that no one admitted to it, Zhao Yi was just about to speak when he heard Lin Rann say, "I'm not one of your people. I'm here to congratulate you on your birthday. Is this how you treat your guests?"
When Zhao Yi heard Lin Rann's words, he said fiercely, "So you are not one of our people. I have no choice but to know you. I will not ask you how you came in. All soldiers, get ready!"
Zhao Yi raised his hand and ordered all the soldiers who were close to him. After giving the order, all of them stood up and looked at Lin Rann with hostility.
"Don't worry!" Zhao Guochang walked to Zhao Yi's side and pulled his hand down.
Zhao Guochang looked at Lin Rann and said, "So you are a guest, but you are also a kind guest and a kind guest. From your words just now, I can tell you are a bad guest!"
Zhao Guochang paused for a moment and said, "If you are a bad person, we will only treat you with swords, spears, swords and halberds, and if you are a kind person..."
Lin Rann interrupted Zhao Guochang and said, "I am here to congratulate you. How can you be a bad person?"
No one believed Lin Rann's words because they didn't know how he had sneaked in. Plus, he had just said that he was here to cause trouble. Now he said that he was a good guest.
Zhao Yi, who was standing next to Zhao Guochang, didn't believe what Lin Rann said. He twitched his mouth and said, "Since you are a good guest, you should bring some gifts for your birthday. I think you are empty-handed. Are you here to cheat us?"
The corner of Lin Rann's mouth rose slightly and said, "Since you are a kind guest, of course you will bring gifts. As a kind guest, I must have brought my own present. It's just that this gift isn't easy to bring out, that's why you won't be able to see it! "
"Oh!" Zhao Yi narrowed his eyes and asked, "What gift isn't it? Tell me!"
