Seeing that Zhong Yi hesitated and did not dare to agree, Zhao Xingjiu's eyes instantly became sharp.

But soon, Zhao Xingjiu sighed softly and said, "Forget it, we don't understand the war, in short, just try your best."

"I can promise this to the old man." Zhong Yi said solemnly, "I will do my best to defend Yinjiang, and at the same time I will do my best to protect the lives of Yinjiang's soldiers."

"I believe you." Zhao Xingjiu nodded, and when he saw that Zhong Yi stopped talking, he asked again, "It's over?"

Zhong Yi said in surprise: "What are the instructions for the old man?"

Zhao Xingjiu said angrily: "We sent you a strong man from afar. Wouldn't you invite us to have a meal?"

"Ah?" Zhong Yi was stunned at first when he heard this, and then laughed, "Don't be angry, I'm negligent. I'll let someone make arrangements, let's make arrangements."

After saying that, Zhong Yi turned around and ordered Xu Chao: "Yinjiang Hotel, prepare a full seafood banquet!"

"Yes!" Xu Chao responded and immediately arranged a guard to report the news to Yinjiang Hotel.

Zhong Yi turned around and turned around and said to Zhao Xingjiu, Qin Runze, Lin Chengzhong, and Xiao Xianchang: "Old man, Qin Clan Chief, Lin Clan Chief and Xiao Clan Chief, please!"

The group got in the car and headed straight for Yinjiang Hotel.

When the car arrived at Yinjiang Hotel, the private room was already ready.

The five people entered the highest-end private room on the second floor of Yinjiang Hotel. Zhong Yi invited Zhao Xingjiu to sit in the chief, and then Qin Runze and the other three also sat in one after another, and he himself sat in the last seat.

Although he is the mayor of Yinjiang, Zhong Yi did not want to show off his character at this time.

Some people value face and fight for everything. Zhong Yi is not such a person.

After three rounds of drinking, Xiao Xianchang took the opportunity to pour wine and gave Zhao Xingjiu a wink without a trace.

Zhao Xingjiu nodded slightly, then picked up the wine glass and said to Zhong Yi: "Xiao Zhong, I am seventy-two this year. When I was young, I fought the Eight-Nation Alliance in the north, went south to Guangdong to participate in the Xinhai Revolution, and even participated in the Northern Expedition. Whether it is age or resume, it should be no problem to be a senior, right?"

"Of course." Zhong Yi quickly raised his glass and said, "Senior, I wish you this glass of wine."

"Don't hurry up and drink it." Zhao Xingjiu waved his hand and said, "Since you recognize me as a senior, I am equivalent to your elder, right?"

"It should be like this." Zhong Yi didn't think much about it and said without thinking, "My younger parents are not in Yinjiang, and there is no one around you who always reminds you to teach me a lesson. I'm grateful that you can always remind me and teach me a lesson, haha."

"Okay." Zhao Xingjiu slapped the table and said, "Since that's what I said, I'm not polite. There is something that should be said to you."

Zhong Yi's face turned dark when he heard this, and he suddenly realized what Zhao Xingjiu was going to say.

But at this time, the words had already been said and could never be taken back. At the moment, I could only remain silent.

Zhao Xingjiu waved his hand and continued, "A man is a real man, three wives and four concubines are nothing. From ancient times to the present, no capable man has ever married ten or eight? But what about you, if you marry one, you will never marry another. No matter how good a girl you are, do you want to be Emperor Hongzhi?"

"Hey, the old man can't say anything." Zhong Yi said hurriedly, "I never thought about becoming an emperor."

"Don't interrupt, I'm talking about marrying a wife." Zhao Xingjiu snorted, "What a great girl Xiao Bing is? No matter in appearance or knowledge, they are all from Yinjiang. Many Yinjiang children dream of marrying her home as a wife, but you are the only one who is like a stone man. What do you want to do? Do you force her to become a monk?"

"Become a monk?" Zhong Yi said in surprise, "Old man, where do you start?"

Xiao Xianchang sighed and said, "Last night, Bing'er made it clear that his family would not have to arrange marriages for her. He also said that after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, she would go to the Banshan Temple in Putuo Mountain to become a monk."

Zhao Xingjiu continued: "Xiao Zhong, you said you are such a straightforward man. It is said that when you kill the Japanese on the battlefield, you don't blink. A single knife is just one, but why are you so upset about the relationship between men and women? Will you die if you marry one more?"

Zhong Yi sighed, "Old man, it's really not possible."

Zhao Xingjiu was furious when he heard this and said, "I have already put my words to this point, but you still don't agree? Do you still think I am your elder? If you recognize me as an elder, you must come to this family today! If you dare not recognize me, Hum, I, Zhao Xingjiu, will not know you from now on, and don't expect our Xiaogang Zhao family to cooperate with your work in the future!"

Zhong Yi said anxiously: "Old man, aren't you threatening me?"

Zhao Xingjiu said: "Hey, you're right, I'm just threatening you."

After a moment of silence, Zhong Yi said, "Old man, can you give me some time?"

After pausing, Zhong Yi said again: "I want to have a deep conversation with Xiao Bing and Man Yi, and then decide whether to marry Xiao Bing, how about it?"

"It's okay to talk about it." Zhao Xingjiu said, "But you have to marry you."

In the second half of the sentence, Zhong Yiquan pretended not to hear it, and immediately stood up and said, "Those guys will drink slowly, and I will lose my companion first."

After getting up and leaving, Zhong Yi returned to the city government. He saw that the lights of the Propaganda Department were still on. It was so late that Xiao Bing had not yet gotten off work.

However, Zhong Yi did not rush to talk to Xiao Bing, but asked Xu Chao to go back to Jiangbei's house and found Zhang Manyi.

Half an hour later, Zhang Manyi arrived at the municipal government compound. Seeing Zhong Yi walking in the yard, he walked up curiously and asked Zhong Yi: "Brother Yi, if you have something to do, you can't go home and say that you have to come to the municipal government?"

"It's inconvenient to go home." Zhong Yi smiled bitterly, "so let's talk about it here."

Zhang Manyi was smart and immediately guessed from Zhong Yi's expression, saying, "Brother Yi, is Mr. Zhao and others putting pressure on you and forcing you to marry Sister Xiao Bing?"

"What?" Zhong Yi said in surprise, "Do you know this?"

Zhang Manyi covered her mouth and smiled, saying, "Our family is just you don't know about this."

"What does it mean?" Zhong Yi said, "It turns out that the whole family is the only one who is involved, I, is kept in the dark?"

"Then what can I do? Who will let you go without saying anything?" Zhang Manyi chuckled, "We didn't dare to say it."

Zhong Yi said with a broken face: "Then what do you, your parents and second brother think? What do they think?"
