My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 3731 Smooth

After listening to Duan Dingbang's eloquent speech, Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows slightly with a strange look in his eyes, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Haha, hahahaha..."

Qi Yun, the Third Princess, the Queen and her sisters, as well as the little cutie, and dozens of generals present at the scene all looked at Young Master Liu with a hint of doubt in their eyes when they saw this.

Whether it is Qi Yun, the third princess, Wenren Yunshu, the little cutie and the others, or Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye and the dozens of other generals.

At this moment, they all had no idea why Young Master Liu suddenly burst into laughter.

Could it be that there was something funny in what Duan Dingbang said just now?

However, Duan Dingbang's response to Young Master Liu was heard by everyone sitting nearby.

What he said was reasonable and proper. There was nothing in it that was worthy of making Young Master Liu laugh out loud!

Qi Yun, the Third Princess, Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye and the others all looked at Young Master Liu in confusion, unable to figure out what was going on.

In fact, even Duan Dingbang himself was confused and full of bewilderment.

  Ok?What's happening here?

Your Majesty, what is he laughing at? Are the words he just said funny?

Amid the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Young Master Liu's laughter gradually died down.

"Ouch!"

Liu Mingzhi let out a light breath, then looked up with a smile at Duan Dingbang, who was confused at the moment.

"Haha, as expected, the world is the best way to train a person's character and personality.

  Dingbang, one year ago when you were still in our Dalong capital, you couldn't say such words as you just said!

After more than a year of training, your character and personality have become more mellow!"

After Liu Mingzhi said the word "smoothly" with a chuckle, he narrowed his eyes slightly with a smile.

Then, his smiling eyes glanced intentionally or unintentionally at Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, Wanyan Chizha, Yun Chong, Cheng Kai and other old foxes.

“Haha, haha, as the sage said, ‘He who keeps company with vermilion becomes red, and he who keeps company with ink becomes black.

What the saint said is indeed sincere and beyond my reach.

I have been with my seniors for a long time, and I have learned things quickly through osmosis.”

As soon as Young Master Liu uttered those last few meaningful words, the expressions on the pretty faces of Qi Yun, the Third Princess, Qi Ya, the Queen, Huyan Junyao and the other sisters instantly became strange.

The little cutie also raised her delicate eyebrows with a strange expression, and subconsciously glanced sideways at Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye and the others.

However, generals of the older generation, such as Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, Huyan Yu, Cheng Kai, and Han Peng, quickly turned their gazes away from Young Master Liu with uncertain eyes.

At this time, whether it was Qi Yun, the third princess, Murong Shan, the little cutie and the others.

Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, Wanyan Chizha and other old foxes almost all understood why Young Master Liu suddenly laughed out loud just now.

Before Liu Mingzhi said this, they didn't think there was anything wrong.

However, after Young Master Liu said this, they immediately understood.

If you think about it carefully, it is indeed as Young Master Liu said just now. Duan Dingbang's previous answer to Young Master Liu was indeed too smooth.

He was so smooth that he didn't look like a young man of only 20 years old. Instead, he looked like someone who had been in the court for several years.

He always says "Your Majesty is wise" and he says it so naturally, so naturally that it is no different from an old fox who has been hanging around in the court for many years.

After Duan Dingbang saw the different changes in expressions of Qi Yun, the third princess, Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye and others, he suddenly realized what was going on.

Then, he glanced at Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, Cheng Kai, Ning Chao and others with a hidden gaze, and looked at Young Master Liu with his lips slightly trembling.

"His Majesty."

Upon hearing the voice, Young Master Liu first chuckled and glanced at Duan Dingbang, then with a smile he shifted his gaze to the older generation of generals such as Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, and Wanyan Chizha.

"My dear friends."

Upon hearing the voice, Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye and others immediately gave a fist towards Young Master Liu.

"I'm waiting here."

"Do you think Dingbang is a fast learner?"

Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, Wanyan Chizha, Yun Chong and other generals looked at the smiling Young Master Liu. After looking at each other, they all laughed in a low voice with a sullen look on their faces.

"Uh, hehe, hehe."

"Uh-huh, cough-cough, hehehehe, hehehehehe."

"Cough cough cough, hahahaha."

For a moment, Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, Wanyan Chizha, Feng Buer and other generals just smiled sullenly, but no one opened their mouths to answer Young Master Liu's question.

  Looking at their current appearance, people who don’t know the situation would think that these generals, big and small, have all gone crazy!

When Young Master Liu saw Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, Yaleha, Cheng Kai and other generals pretending to be stupid, he shook his head unhappily.

Then, he picked up a melon seed with his fingers and put it into his mouth, chuckled and shifted his gaze to Duan Dingbang.

"Dingbang, what did you want to say to me just now?"

Duan Dingbang saw the smiling face of Young Master Liu, opened his mouth and took a deep breath, then clasped his fist towards Young Master Liu with a respectful look.

"Your Majesty, all the words I said before were from my heart. I never meant to flatter Your Majesty."

Young Master Liu lowered his head and spat out the melon seed shells between his lips and teeth, then waved at Duan Dingbang with a smile.

"Dingbang, there's no need to stand and talk all the time, sit down quickly."

"I obey your command. Thank you, Your Majesty."

When Young Master Liu saw that Duan Dingbang had already sat down, he chuckled, straightened his sleeves, and picked up the glass of wine he had already poured on the table.

Qi Yun, the third princess, Qing Lian, Wen Ren Yun Shu and the other sisters, as well as the little cutie, saw Young Master Liu holding up his wine glass, and they all quickly sat up straight.

Upon seeing this, dozens of generals and generals present hurriedly stopped cracking melon seeds or eating various nuts, and looked at Young Master Liu with serious expressions.

After Liu Mingzhi let out a silent sigh, he raised the wine glass in his hand with a smile and gestured to Duan Dingbang, Ge Gonglu and other generals of the second western expedition army.

"Dingbang, Gonglu, and all the young men.

This young master, the Queen, my beloved concubines, and my good-for-nothing little daughter Liu Luoyue, would like to offer you a glass of wine together.

This glass of wine is to congratulate you on your return from the expedition!"

When Duan Dingbang, Ge Gonglu and other soldiers of the second western expedition army heard what Young Master Liu said, they quickly stood up from their chairs, raised their glasses and responded to Young Master Liu.

"We thank your Majesty very much. Long live the emperor."

"My boys, let's have a drink together."

"Let us drink first as a sign of respect." Young Master Liu smiled lightly and raised the wine glass in his hand directly to his mouth.

Upon seeing this, Qi Yun, the Third Princess, the Queen, Huyan Junyao, Qi Ya, the little cutie and her daughter immediately raised their glasses to their mouths.

After drinking a glass of wine, Young Master Liu smiled and picked up the wine jug to refill himself with another glass of wine.

Upon seeing this, Duan Dingbang and his fellow generals hurriedly picked up the wine jug and filled their own glasses with wine again.

Liu Mingzhi gently put down the wine jug in his hand and picked up his wine glass again.

"My fellow men, I, along with many of your predecessors, would like to offer a toast to you.

This glass of wine is also to congratulate you on your return from the expedition."

As Young Master Liu finished speaking, Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, Yun Chong and other older generation generals all stood up from their chairs in unison and picked up the wine glasses on the table.

Young Master Liu smiled faintly and slowly stood up from his chair, then raised the wine glasses in both hands and gestured back and forth to all the generals present.

"My dears, let's drink together."

"I respect you by doing the first thing."

Young Master Liu raised his head slightly, drank the wine in the glass, and sat back in the chair behind him happily.

After drinking a glass of wine, dozens of generals, both big and small, raised their empty wine glasses and gestured to Young Master Liu, then sat down one after another.

After Young Master Liu picked up the wine jug and refilled himself with a glass of wine, he smiled faintly and grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the plate on the table.

"My dear ministers, we are not in the imperial court of our Great Dragon Capital now, so naturally there are not so many rules to follow.

Therefore, you can eat and drink the wine jugs, tea, cakes, and various snacks on the table as needed."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Young Master Liu leaned lightly on the back of the chair and crossed his legs casually.

Then, while chuckling and cracking the melon seeds in his hand, he turned his head to look at Duan Dingbang who had just picked up a few almonds from the plate.

"Dingbang."

Upon hearing the voice, Duan Dingbang immediately looked up and responded to Young Master Liu.

"Hey, I'm here."

"Dingbang, how do you feel about leading your army to help Persia put down the rebellion?"

When Duan Dingbang heard Young Master Liu asking him this question, he pondered for a moment and then frowned with a complicated expression.

"Your Majesty, I dare to ask you, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

After eating a melon seed, Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows slightly with a smile.

  "Duan Dingbang, isn't what you said nonsense?

Since I'm asking you this question, of course I want to hear what you really think?

What's the matter? I understand what you are saying. Are you still trying to fool me with lies? "

As soon as Liu Mingzhi said this, Duan Dingbang's expression suddenly tensed up and he hurriedly shook his head like a rattle.

"Your Majesty, I dare not, I dare not, I absolutely do not mean that."

Young Master Liu smiled and patted the melon seed crumbs off his hands, then took out the pipe that was hanging from his waist.

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Hearing Young Master Liu's question, Duan Dingbang stood up from his chair instinctively.

Upon seeing this, Young Master Liu opened the pipe in his hand and immediately pressed his hand lightly to signal.

"What are you standing up for? Sit down and talk. Sit down and talk."

"Yes, thank you Your Majesty."

Young Master Liu took out a matchbox from his sleeve and lit the tobacco in the pipe with skillful movements.

"Dingbang, if you have anything to say, just say it.

No matter what you say, I will prove you innocent."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Mingzhi adjusted his sitting posture with a faint smile, then took a puff of the tobacco pipe in his hand.

"Go ahead, I'm listening to you."

Duan Dingbang took a breath silently and quickly calmed his uneasy emotions.

"Your Majesty, the reason I asked you before was whether I wanted to hear the truth or a lie.

The main reason is that I am afraid that His Majesty will be angry!"

"Oh? How do you say it?"

"In reply to your Majesty, during this time when we went on this expedition to help Persia quell the rebellion.

The situation of the Western barbarians that we have seen with our own eyes is completely different from what we have heard about when we were in our Great Dragon Dynasty.

These Western barbarians are definitely not the kind of people who are unruly, unruly and unruly as others have said.

They have their own customs and practices, their own knowledge and culture, and their own clear understanding of various things.

As for some other situations, I don’t know much at the moment, so I won’t express my thoughts for the time being.

I will only talk about what I know and what I have seen with my own eyes.

Therefore, if there are any shortcomings, I hope Your Majesty will not be offended."

Young Master Liu turned his head and exhaled the smoke from his mouth. He smiled faintly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the wine in the glass.

"Haha, go ahead and talk. This young master is listening!"

"Your Majesty, let's not talk about the distant past, let's just talk about this expedition to Persia to help the King of Persia quell the rebellion.

Your Majesty, you were not there and you are not very clear about the situation.

The Persian rebel generals facing us are very methodical in the way they command their troops on the battlefield.

According to the reports from the scouts on the battlefield, it is clear that the rebel generals have a very mature way of deploying troops when they command their troops.

Whether it is in terms of deployment of troops or defensive formations, they can make very effective layouts.

Although their military tactics are slightly inferior to ours, they are still able to effectively restrain our offensive moves."
