After finishing the military side, Luo Ding also accepted Tao Guerrilla's invitation, and one evening three days later, he came to the restaurant that the Wuwei Army had reserved in advance.

Since the invited master has not come yet, most of the people talking around in the restaurant are still the invited businessmen and squires. The life in the family expands the network.

When Luo Ding first came in, many people were sizing him up in private, but seeing that his face was raw and he was not accompanied by other people, he expected that he would not be someone too important, so after a few glances at him, they didn't Talk to him again.

Luo Ding had expected this kind of situation in advance, after all, this was his first appearance in Wuwei, Tao Guerzilla originally wanted to bring him here, but Luo Ding refused.The protagonist of today's dinner party is not him, there is no need to make it so eye-catching, so Luo Ding, who is ignored by no one, is happy to be at ease now.

As time passed bit by bit, more and more people came to the dinner, and soon the long-sleeved and skillful military officer came to the scene as the master of ceremonies of the dinner.

With his arrival, the small circles that had been besieging the city quickly dispersed. Some people who knew Wu Bei brought their relatives and friends to introduce him. Walking around Tao Wubei's side, hoping to suddenly arouse his interest.

Tao Wubei has been a military logistics officer for most of his life, and he can't understand the careful thinking of these people, so no matter who comes over, he is always smiling, but the politeness between words is heard by everyone from.

His son Tao Guerzilla came here with his father this time. After he came to the restaurant, he looked around for a week, and then found Luo Ding who was leisurely standing aside in the corner.

After finding the person, Tao Guerzhe first whispered a few words to his father, and then pointed to Luo Ding's side with his hand. After his father saw the person there, he left the crowd to let Luo Ding Come over here.

Tao Guerzilla got away from the people who wanted to come over to talk to him, walked quickly to Luo Ding's side, and said to him, "It's such a lively atmosphere, you're the one hiding here. Come on, that's my father over there." , he wants to see you."

Luo Ding didn't say anything more when he heard the words, followed Tao Guerrilla's footsteps, and went to his father.

Tao Guerzilla took Luo Ding all the way to his father's side, and then he pointed to Luo Ding and introduced to his father: "This is Luo Ding, the owner of Luo's butcher shop."

Father Tao took a closer look at the person whom his son had repeatedly mentioned over the years when he heard the words.

Luo Ding's first impression on Father Tao was that he was tall and strong. Looking at his body, it's no wonder his son always said that he was brave.

But after a closer look, Father Tao found that Luo Ding's eyes lacked the ferocity of those fierce generals, but there was more wisdom and calmness that he had only seen with the generals.

This is a man with a very clear mind.Although he had just met and hadn't said a word yet, Father Tao, who knew countless people, soon had a basic judgment on Luo Ding in his heart.

Luo Ding was brought to Father Tao's side, and he gave a junior salute to Father Tao and said, "Luo Ding, junior, I have met Uncle Tao."

Father Tao stroked his goatee and said to Luo Ding: "You and my son had a good relationship when you were young, and you came to Wuwei every now and then, but the friendship has not faded. This time you come here, Bo'er must treat you well. .”

Taupo Tao guerrilla heard his father's words and said with a smile: "You don't need to explain this, I promise to take good care of it."

Hearing that Luo Ding was acquainted with the son of Wu Bei's family, the people who had been ignoring him finally paid more attention to Luo Ding, but when they wanted to talk to him, Tao Guerzilla took Luo Ding and left first.

The two picked an inconspicuous corner and sat down, chatting while waiting for the dinner to begin.Just when the two of them were chatting just right, the protagonist of today's dinner finally appeared.

The new Deputy General Xu came in alone, but Tao Wubei, who had been watching all directions, saw him the moment he entered.

As the master of ceremonies for this dinner, he hurried over to give him a warm reception.

The highest official position in the Wuwei Army is General Wuwei of the third rank. The next four lieutenants are two of the fourth rank. top leadership team.

General Wuwei is the supreme leader of the team. As a boss, he certainly cannot host a dinner for a subordinate who is not familiar with him. It is already a great honor for him to be able to attend.

And those two rank-[-] lieutenants are half a rank higher than lieutenant general Xu, so although they will come, they must be late. As for the other lieutenant general from the fourth rank, he is a master who can only do things with his head down. If you want him to come out and host, you have to screw up the pot.

So after picking and choosing, everyone felt that Tao Shoubei was the most suitable candidate. Not only was he at the same level as Vice-General Xu, but he was also very good at dancing. It was really suitable for him to come forward to receive this Vice-General Xu who had someone behind him. However, Tao Wubei was unanimously pushed out by everyone.

Tao Wubei, who had just learned the news, could only smile wryly in his own Wubei mansion. He might be fooled by others, but he is an old stick in the officialdom. What do these colleagues think in their hearts? Tao Wubei knew it very well, but he just couldn't figure out this man's routine, so he pushed him out to test the waters.

Although this is the case, the order was given by the general, so Tao Wubei could only go up with his sleeves rolled up. Fortunately, from the contact these few days, he has some understanding of the temper of this deputy general. It doesn't look like a too temperamental master.

Everyone embraced the new Adjutant Xu and walked into the lobby. At this time, the eyes of the people who came to the dinner party basically stayed on the Adjutant Xu, and Luo Ding himself was no exception.

It's just that what others are looking at is the identity of the lieutenant general, but what Luo Ding is looking at is the face of the lieutenant general.

This time, the distance between Luo Ding and that Vice General Xu was also increased, which allowed him to finally see that Vice General Xu's face clearly.

Although Luo Ding's face is still plain at this time, his heart has already been shocked, because that person, although his appearance is getting old, his body has also gained weight.However, his demeanor and pace remained unchanged, so Luo Ding could already be sure that this new Deputy General Xu was the third son of the Luo family who had not been heard from since he joined the army, that is, his third father.

Although Luo Ding didn't know why he kept his name anonymous, judging from the fact that he not only changed his identity but also became the son-in-law of another family, this one would definitely not want anyone to recognize him, so Luo Ding made a very wise choice There was silence.

At this moment, the waiter in the restaurant's running hall ran over and told Tao Wubei that the food and drinks were ready, and the adults were ready to sit.

Hearing the words, Tao Wubei dismissed the waiter who came to pass the message away, and waved to everyone in the lobby to be quiet. When everyone's eyes turned to his side, Tao Wubei said, "Everyone, today is to greet Adjutant Xu. It’s a great day to wash the dust, we have prepared some beer wine and side dishes on the second floor, please follow me over there to enjoy the delicacies.”

Everyone readily accepted the words, and followed Tao Wubei to the second floor.Sure enough, banquets had already been set up on the big tabletops there, waiting for the guests who rushed over to sit down.

Tao Wubei politely led Adjutant Xu to the main table, and sat down with him on his left, introducing him to the lieutenant sitting on his right.Not long after they took their seats, the two lieutenants with higher ranks also came over.

The main table was seated one by one, and the guests who came to participate also sat down around the table according to their identities and acquaintances. Tao Guerrilla went to the table of the second generation. Before he left, Luo Ding had found Many of the comrades who fought together when they joined the army were middle and low-level officers, but when they saw Luo Ding, those men were still very happy.

Seeing Luo Ding blending into the crowd so quickly, Tao Guerrilla left in peace.

Just like this interspersed in twos and threes, soon there were few people standing on the entire second floor. Tao Wubei looked at the scene and felt that the table was almost ready, but the general who was supposed to sit in the main seat had not come yet. But do this?

I've never seen a general late before, could it be that he doesn't want to come this time?

No way, although this one came directly without saying hello, but he is the son-in-law of General Fengtian after all, and the general always wants to give him some face.

Just when Tao Wubei secretly speculated that he was a little embarrassed, General Wuwei who had made people wait for a long time finally rushed over.

Only then did Tao Wubei heave a sigh of relief, and immediately announced the opening of the meeting after welcoming his Shangfeng to the main seat.

At the banquet, there is no need to talk about the secret swords and swords of those big figures, but the atmosphere at the table made by Luo Ding is still very lively.

The person sitting next to Luo Ding used to serve with him in the second generation of Tao's personal army, and now he has been promoted to a thousand households under the care of the second generation of Tao. At this time, he is raising a wine glass to toast Luo Ding, While toasting, he said: "It's been a while since I saw you, this time we brothers reunite, I'll do it here as a respect."

Luo Ding got up and drank his own glass of wine, and then said: "Congratulations on your promotion."

Hearing this, the man said politely: "Don't you know about my ability? It's because of the promotion from the top and the support of the brothers under him. If you still stay here, you must be in a higher position than me now. "

Luo Ding laughed but didn't say a word when he heard the words, but still intentionally or unintentionally brought the topic to the new Deputy General Xu during the conversation.

That Qianhu was also very excited today, he didn't need Luo Ding to say anything, he just said everything he knew.

It turns out that there are mixed factions in the capital, whether it is civil servants or generals, it is not easy to get ahead.The new Deputy General Xu has been stuck in the position of the fifth rank for a long time. There are many capable people in the capital, and even General Fengtian is not easy to use, so he can only find the vacancies outside and call out first, and adjust the rank After ascending, ask for other things.

It turned out to be like this, no wonder General Wuwei came so late today, presumably because he lost to the capital in the game of adjutants, and he was feeling unhappy in his heart.

Thinking of this, Luo Ding looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure sitting on the main table. Since he had already abandoned his original identity and started a new life, there was no need for him to bother him.His third father had already been buried in the Luo family's ancestral grave, and the one in front of him was Deputy General Xu from Wuwei.
