Chapter 490: A Glass of Wine to Clear up Past Grudges

"I'm really lucky this time." Ning Zhuo sighed sincerely.

Liu Er took the initiative to show up and took on a lot of hostility and harm, so that Ning Zhuo could follow all the way to the final battle.

At the moment of decisive victory, he used the hero's recovery technique to win the final victory in one fell swoop.

The best thing is that from beginning to end, Ning Zhuo hid his true intentions. All competitors, even parties like Mulan, thought that Ning Zhuo had no intention of this position, but he had to agree to it in the end due to the situation.

Sun Lingtong exclaimed: "Xiao Zhuo, you are really a talent who is in the right way!"

He is the only one who knows the inside story.

In this way, even if Ning Zhuo achieved the greatest victory, he did not become the target of public criticism, but still maintained a good relationship with most people. In fact, in turn, these people still owed Ning Zhuo a big favor.

For Ning Zhuo, Mulan must stabilize him and stabilize the status of husband and wife in order to exchange more time for achievements.

For Liu, Guan, and Zhang, Ning Zhuo was the money bag of the three generals' camp, so they needed to maintain a good relationship with Ning Zhuo.

Shuang Jing and Sun Gan had very complicated emotions towards Ning Zhuo, most of which were envy and jealousy - in the end, a mere foundation-building cultivator got a big advantage.

The person who should hate Ning Zhuo the most was Ma Liangcai. It was because of Ning Zhuo that he failed. However, such jealousy was greatly reduced because Ning Zhuo publicly agreed with Mu Lan that "they must divorce".

"You lucky kid, don't be so ungrateful!" The envoy of the capital raised his head and looked at Ning Zhuo with a condescending look.

Ning Zhuo hurriedly explained that the real reason for his divorce was not that he looked down on the two countries, but that he was full of respect for the General Mu's Mansion. It was just that he had to be responsible for his family and had to give a clear explanation to the Zhu family, the royal family of Nandou.

Involving the royal family of another country, and Nandou was much stronger than the two countries, the arrogance of the envoy of the capital was restrained a lot.

The others were even more speechless.

In their opinion: the person they wanted could not get it, but the person they did not want became the son-in-law of General Mu's mansion.

"Fate..." Shuang Jing sighed to the sky.

Sun Gan remained silent, and had already begun to think about the way out.

This time he dealt with Ma Liangcai, and also had a bad relationship with the Red Flower Camp, and suffered a lot of losses. Now he can only hope to make achievements on the main battlefield.

Otherwise, he will definitely not have a good ending when he returns to the capital!

"Come on, Mr. Ning Zhuo, while everyone is here and there is a witness, let's sign the marriage contract here!" Mulan was very worried that Ning Zhuo would encounter twists and turns in this regard, and was eager to finalize these things.

The significance of this marriage contract to her and the entire General Mu's mansion was too great, and she dared not be careless.

The envoy of the capital nodded: "Yes, the marriage contract has been concluded, and this matter has come to an end. I can also go back and report to the king."

Liu Er opened his mouth to speak, but after his Adam's apple rolled, he could only watch Ning Zhuo and Mulan conclude the marriage contract.

The moment the marriage contract was concluded, he seemed to have suddenly stepped into the air, and his whole body was empty, feeling that he had missed the treasure of this life.

To be honest, although he pursued Mulan mostly for utilitarianism, he did have admiration in his heart.

Now, when he looked at Ning Zhuo again, a feeling of disgust and hatred suddenly surged in his heart.

Liu Er hurriedly shook his head, as if to shake off this negative emotion.

"Liu Er, Liu Er, what are you thinking about?"

"Ning Zhuo didn't want this."

"In fact, the military advisor has been helping me throughout the process, but it was just a coincidence that led to this result."

"He was able to defeat Ma Liangcai because the opponent was at the end of his strength. And Ning Zhuo used the strange military magic of the Warrior Recovery Technique."

"..."

As Liu Er thought about it, the negative emotions in his heart became more and more.

"Damn, why am I not the final winner?"

So angry!

After working hard throughout the process, it was someone else who finally reaped the rewards.

"If Ning Zhuo had used the Warrior Recovery Technique in advance and blessed me, wouldn't I have become the final winner?"

"No, he said it very clearly before. He hasn't mastered this military technique yet. If he rashly uses it, if he fails, he will suffer a great backlash."

"So, he took the risk and tried it at the end, and the attempt was successful."

"So, if you want to blame someone, you can only blame my bad luck!"

"..."

I'm still angry!

"Why do I have bad luck when I have the king's mandate?"

"How can I explain this result to my teacher?"

"In fact, the Three Generals Camp did win in the end. It's just that my identity was excluded. If I wasn't a human-demon hybrid, I could have made a marriage contract with Mulan!"

Liu Er became more and more angry as he thought about it. He clenched his fists and almost broke his teeth.

Guan Hong and Zhang Hei were a little embarrassed. On one side was the military advisor, and on the other side was the sworn brother. The two of them were fighting for a woman, and in the end, the young military advisor won, and it was not voluntary.

This situation is really a bit complicated for the two tough guys.

"Seniors, please stay. Now that the debate has come to a conclusion, no matter what, stability is always better than chaos."

"This is a happy event."

"Why don't I host a banquet in the city to entertain you all!"

"Firstly, the war is coming, and we all have to rely on each other to face strong enemies. Secondly, I will always make peace with General Mulan, and I want to be friends with everyone, not enemies. I came to join the army this time just because I want to The Liudong Sect takes revenge and seeks justice for our Ning family."

Ning Zhuo suggested with a bitter smile.

He was dressed in white. Although he was only building a foundation, he had the confidence of a wealthy family and could handle it with ease, even if the person he was talking to was a monk at the Golden Core or Nascent Soul level.

He was also confident enough to send out a banquet.

How to say it?

All I can say is that he is full of righteous demeanor!

Ma Liangcai shook his head: "No need!"

He refused immediately.

I traveled this time because I had a royal mandate, but I failed to do my job well. Under such circumstances, if you still agree to Ning Zhuo to stay and have a drink, what does it mean?

I simply want to tell the king that I, Ma Liangcai, did not do my job carefully, and that I might have even accepted a bribe from Ning Zhuo.

For Ma Liangcai, the most correct thing to do is to return to the royal capital immediately, meet with the monarch, and apologize in person!

For a famous general like him, it doesn't matter if he fails once or twice, but it would be very bad if his impression in the king's mind is tarnished.

The envoy from the royal capital agreed and refused Ning Zhuo's banquet.

However, Shuangjing and Sun Qian agreed.

These two parties had a bad relationship with Honghua Camp because they wanted to get involved in the General's Mansion. This time, since Ning Zhuo took the initiative to stand up and build the stairs, they were happy to climb down the ladder and use Ning Zhuo to ease their relationship with Honghua Camp again.

That's what the right path is.

One moment they are fighting, the next moment they are reconciled.

Many times, interests are respective positions.

Who knows that a war is imminent, and these armies must help each other to achieve more results.

Shuang Jing and Sun Qian agreed, and Liu Guan and Zhang naturally had no reason to refuse. Mulan felt disgusted, but she also knew that Ning Zhuo's move was wise, so she went with him.

Ning Zhuo was not stingy, he immediately chose the most luxurious restaurant in Canglin Fairy City and ordered a high-standard banquet.

This banquet alone cost him more than 10,000 middle-grade spiritual stones!

You know, the normal monthly income of a golden elixir monk is only between 3,000 and 8,000 mid-grade spiritual stones. Golden elixir monks with lower incomes make an annual profit of 30,000 to 40,000 yuan.

Ning Zhuo bought more than 10,000 middle-grade spiritual stones for one meal, which really shocked others.

Mulan looked complicated and had a lot to say, but he held it back.

With this money, it would be great to use it to provide military pay to the Red Flower Camp!

"Little friend Ning Zhuo is indeed a member of a rich family." Shuang Jing said. He was always so bold and bold, but now he couldn't do it anymore. The Baiyu camp suffered too many losses in the ambush battle.

Ning Zhuo laughed loudly: "This time I wrote to the family to allow me more authority and to use more resources."

"And revenge against the Liudong Sect is my main purpose."

"In the upcoming battle, I look forward to working together with all the seniors to break through Thousand Peaks Forest."

Sun Qian nodded, very satisfied with Ning Zhuo's awareness, and immediately expressed his position along the lines of the words: "Yes, Qianfenglin is our common goal and the source of our military exploits!"

Ning Zhuo slapped the table, stood up, raised his wine glass, and composed a poem casually.

"Golden bottles of fine wine invite heroes, and old grudges can be eliminated."

"We marched on thousands of peaks with the same enemy, and made great achievements in bloody battles on the battlefield."

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

"Everyone, you might as well drink this cup to the full!"

After saying that, Ning Zhuo tilted his neck and poured all the wine in the cup into his mouth.

Everyone looked at each other quickly, raised their glasses in response, and drank it all in one gulp!

The atmosphere opened up and gradually became lively under the auspices of Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo sat in the main seat and Mulan took the deputy seat.

During the banquet, Mulan couldn't help but look at Ning Zhuo who was talking eloquently.

Although she was forced by circumstances to recognize this "little husband", at this moment, Mulan saw a trace of her father in Ning Zhuo.

Sometimes, the wine table is also a different kind of battlefield.

The role played by Ning Zhuo at this time is exactly what Mulan cannot be. He eased relations with Shuangjing, Sun Qian and others, which also represented the easing of conflicts between Honghua Camp, Baiyu Camp and the Golden Halberd Army. Mulan knew that this was a wise move! Therefore, I am also happy to see the results.

Liu Er felt very uncomfortable!

The good wine turned into boring wine, and Ning Zhuo's high spirits always kept negative emotions growing in his heart.

Liu Er forced himself to be patient and told himself that Ning Zhuo was not his enemy, but one of his own! You should be more generous as a person.

When he saw Mulan looking at Ning Zhuo's expression, his heart suddenly tightened.

Getting angry again!

He had no choice but to move his eyes and look at his second and third brothers, and found that Guan Hong and Zhang Hei had complicated expressions and were quite restrained.

Liu Er's heart was slightly shaken, and he immediately realized that something was wrong with this situation.

"The matter has been done and it will be difficult to undo it. We cannot allow the second brother, the third brother and the military advisor to be separated from each other."

"The military advisor is the money bag of my Third General Battalion. If there is internal friction, the combat effectiveness of the Third General Battalion will also be greatly weakened!"

This is not what Liu Er wants to see.

Liu Er secretly sent a message with his spiritual consciousness, so that Guan and Zhang could relax and pursue Mulan himself. The so-called love at first sight was just an excuse. The real purpose was to join Zonglianheng, get rid of his mixed-race identity, and become a high-ranking official with the help of the General's Mansion. , to gain connections in the court.

"Now that the military advisor has been chosen as my husband, it is also a victory for our Third General Battalion!"

"In terms of results, we defeated Shuang Jing, Sun Gan, and even Ma Liangcai, and we won a great victory!"

Encouraged by Liu Er, Zhang Hei's tense face became lively. Guan Hong's movements were no longer stiff, and he stretched out his hand to slowly stroke his beard.

The waiter presented the last main course.

When the plate was opened, there was a blazing flame.

The flames burned, and the strong fragrance spread, soon filling the whole room.

The strange thing is that the chicken remained intact in the flames.

When the flames went out, everyone saw clearly that it was not chicken, but bird meat.

Shuang Jing sighed with a complicated expression: "This is a dish made with fire-feathered bird as the main ingredient, named Yanxianglai!"

"Use dried chili peppers, star anise, cinnamon, vanilla, honey, orange peel, purple cabbage, pepper, sea salt and other ingredients as auxiliary ingredients, and season with soy sauce, minced garlic, honey, and orange juice."

"Use magic to stimulate the burning of spiritual fire, so that the auxiliary ingredients and seasonings can completely penetrate into the bird meat and completely integrate into one."

"The meat of the fire-feathered bird itself is woody and tasteless, but after this roasting, it immediately undergoes a revolutionary change and becomes a delicacy that people will never forget!"

Everyone tasted it one after another and praised it.

The rich taste of spicy, fragrant, sweet, and numb has a strong impact on the tongue.

This is the interweaving of fire and fragrance!

The bird meat is more tender and smooth with the application of honey, and the roasting and flame sauce complement each other, which conveys a sense of sublimation from ordinary to extraordinary to the diners.

It was the first time for Liu Er and Guan Hong to eat such luxurious food. As they savored it, complex emotions surged in their hearts.

Shuang Jing ate the bird meat and looked at Ning Zhuo with a complex expression, chanting:

"The red feathers are like flames shining in the clouds,"

"The fragrance penetrates the bone marrow and intoxicates the intestines."

"When will the ordinary birds climb the branches and change,"

"Fly up to the sky and spread nine chapters."

This poem is about the dishes, Ning Zhuo, and even more about himself.

After reciting, the noble son drank the wine in the cup and stood up with a dull look.

"I'm drunk."

"Goodbye, everyone."

He turned and left, directly crossing the windowsill, stepping on a light cloud, his long sleeves fluttering, and blending into the night alone.

Shuang Jing's poem made the atmosphere of the wine table disappear.

The guests stood up and said goodbye one after another.

Ning Zhuo also wanted to leave with Liu, Guan and Zhang, but was pulled by Mulan.

"Mr. Ning Zhuo...it's getting late, why don't you come back with me to the Red Flower Camp."

"I will teach you the "Xuanjin Pojia Jue"."

Liu Er was about to walk down the stairs, but he couldn't help but stop when he heard the words.

Guan Hong and Zhang Hei both stopped and turned to look at Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo bowed to Mulan: "General Mulan, I have no interest in the "Xuanjin Pojia Jue". I became your husband just by chance and forced by the situation."

"I am the chief military advisor of the Three Generals Camp!"

"The night is getting darker, general, please rest early and heal your injuries. Goodbye."

After saying that, the young military advisor in white did not turn his head back, met the three generals' happy and admiring eyes, and joined them.
