Chapter 683 Hongmen Banquet! (Fourth Update, Extra Update for Monthly Tickets!)

Danmu's subordinates were helping him with the relevant procedures. On the other side, the commander of Northern Shan State, U Nu, was also busy arranging the formalities and arranging work before the banquet:

"You remember, we have to fight during this period, but we can't fight too hard, and we can't fight toward the northern border."

"If I can't come back from this banquet, Wu Huan will take over from me and become the leader of the Kachin Self-Defense Army."

"Remember, never go north."

In front of Wu Nu was his confidant Wu Mu. Listening to Wu Nu's arrangements, Wu Mu looked very respectful, always bent over, and looked like he was working hard without complaining.

After talking for a long time and talking about some precautions, Wu Nu finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat back on the chair. He leaned on the back of the chair listlessly, looked at the ceiling with his eyes, and murmured to himself:

"If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have collected that money. It's only been two days since TND was moved, and the phone call from the north came."

“And I’ve never gone directly to a banquet before.”

"I feel like it's the Hongmen Banquet!"

Facing Wu Nu's chatter, Wu Mu still had the posture of bending over and listening attentively.

But where Wu Nu didn't see it, a smile appeared on the corner of the mouth of this confidant general, and it quickly disappeared again.

It seems that he has always been docile.

After a long time, Wu Nu finally got up from his chair and walked to his residence. With the help of his wife, he changed into new clothes and offered a stick of incense to the gods before turning around and leaving.

He did not go to the military camp, but to a Buddhist temple in Lashio City.

I knelt respectfully in the lobby of the Buddhist temple for a long time. When it was almost dark, an old monk with white beard and hair and eyebrows as big as the corners of his mouth walked out of the Buddhist temple. His trembling appearance made people worry that he would die in the next second. Will be blown away by the wind.

But the old monk still forced himself to come to Wu Nu, chanted a Buddhist chant, and asked the person in front of him in an inscrutable tone:

"I wonder what Mr. Wu Nu wants when he comes here today?"

Wu Nu was still kneeling on the futon, with his hands clasped together, his waist straight, his eyes closed, and his face without any expression, looking very indifferent and aloof.

But his answer was not so transcendent:

"Master, I want to ask if there will be a bloody disaster if I go to the banquet tomorrow."

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldier following him took a step forward, placed a small box in his hand next to him, and then quietly stepped back.

When the box was put down, the soldiers opened the lid. Under the opened lid were three gold bars as long as an adult's middle finger.

Reflecting the dim light of the setting sun and the candlelight in the lobby of the Buddhist temple, these three gold bars look sparkling, extremely bright and endearing.

Seeing these three objects outside his body, the old monk laughed so hard that his eyes went out.

He stretched out his hand and patted the young monk next to him. The young monk sang a Buddhist chant with an expression on his face that regarded money as dirt. He walked forward slowly, picked up the small box on the ground, and walked out of the hall with a look of disgust on his face.

After him, the soldiers who followed Wu Nu also walked out of the hall.

In the main hall, the old monk sat cross-legged and reached out to touch Wu Nu's dog head. He touched it very slowly.

And his expression gradually turned serious from a cheerful smile at the beginning.

Then, under Wu Nu's surprised gaze, he withdrew his hand, put his hands back into his sleeves, hugged them to his chest, and said nothing.

After a long time, when the person opposite was getting impatient, he whispered:

"As long as the general is careful in his words and deeds, he can sail the ship for thousands of years."

"Any more, it will reveal the secret, and Buddha will blame us, I'm sorry!"

After saying this, the old monk suddenly coughed several more times, and the coughing sound became louder and louder, until his whole body turned into a shrimp.

The young monk who had just walked out of the hall quickly ran back, supported the old monk, and showed a hateful expression to Wu Nu.

Seeing this scene, the old monk showed an apologetic smile, reached out and patted the young monk, and cursed, then with the help of the young monk, he stood up and walked to the back of the main hall.

Wu Nu, who was still kneeling on the futon, showed an expression of understanding on his face after watching the old monk leave.

The master is indeed a master. He knows that he will encounter trouble next, so he warns himself to be careful in his words and deeds.

This time I came to the right place!

Thinking of this, he swept away the depression in his heart, stood up, patted his butt, turned around, and walked out of the hall without looking back.

In the temple behind the main hall, the young monk saw Wu Nu leaving through the surveillance camera. He immediately looked back at the old monk and asked in surprise:

"Master, you actually know how to do this?"

The old monk was playing with gold, and he no longer looked like he was about to die. When he heard the young monk's question, he didn't even raise his head, and just rolled his eyes and answered:

"I have already told you that you should read more and watch more. Monks do not close themselves off, but allow themselves to accept more information to cleanse their souls."

“If you get to know more people, you can get some unique information.”

"This time, the whole of Upper Myanmar is in a lively fight, and it has already affected China in the north. According to the habit of previous years, China will come forward to mediate."

"U Nu said he was going on a long journey, but those young children did not receive orders to go out, so he could only go out alone."

"In other words, he's going somewhere."

"Only going to China is a long journey, and the requirements on the Chinese side are very simple, just that the armed forces in Myanmar do not affect the lives of ordinary people."

"Based on these premises, you only need to say an ambiguous word to him, and he will understand what is going on."

"Fortune-telling is actually information integration, integrating information that others don't know, and then fooling people."

"Don't say it too clearly, or those people won't believe it."

"Do you understand?"

"I'm old, and you're the smartest among your brothers, but you don't use your intelligence in the right way."

"I'm telling you today just to get you to focus on fortune-telling and inherit our temple, do you understand?"

Faced with the old monk's persuasion, the young monk was not moved at all, but walked to the window, looking at the beautiful mountains and rivers outside the window, in a trance.

Seeing this, the old monk didn't say much, but just sighed silently.

…………

Ruicheng.

Lin Yuren has arrived. After calling those bastards, he wandered around Ruicheng.

The main areas for wandering are the villages on the border and the entrances.

Unlike later generations, the border line now is very simple. In addition to the boundary markers that can be seen at a distance, the rest is a small road along the border line and some simple blocking measures.

It is not the high wall built on purpose in later generations with electric grids on it.

Looking back at the surrounding infrastructure, Lin Yu can also understand why the construction of such a high wall has not started yet.

Because there is not enough electricity.

There is not enough for industrial and civilian use, so this kind of defensive measure is naturally not used.

Residents on both sides of the border feel like going home when they cross the border. People from Myanmar come here to buy a bag of salt, and people from China go over to buy some specialties.

Relaxed and freehand.

Seeing his confusion, the border guard raised his finger and explained:

"Many villages along this border were actually one village, or even one big family, when the border was divided."

"Some people chose to come here, and some chose to stay in Myanmar."

"There was no compulsion at the time, and everyone has been doing this for so many years."

"It's just that in recent years, the militias in Myanmar have been fighting too hard, and people often come here to cause trouble. There is also the problem of drug proliferation, so border patrols have become more and more intense."

"But there are not many people during the day, and only at night."

The border guard walked in front and explained, and Lin Yu listened quietly behind.

Having lived two lives, he knew very well why they could live in peace in those years, but have become more troublesome in recent years.

It's nothing more than that everyone was the same in those two years, and they all had only one pair of shorts, so no one should laugh at anyone.

In the past two years, China has developed a little bit, especially in Yunnan Province, because it faces the Indochina Peninsula, so the development here is actually very good.

The development here has been seen by the people in Myanmar, and these people naturally began to envy.

When you separated, you both had only one pair of pants. Why can you live a stable life now and your life is getting better and better?

Why?

After strolling from afternoon to night, Lin Yu returned to Ruicheng with Bianfeng's people.

And he also received two good news.

The first good news is that all the invitations he sent out have been replied, and the relevant people are already on the way.

The second good news is that the drones and related ammunition have arrived in Ruicheng. The defense company personnel who arrived with the ammunition are assembling this batch of ammunition and drones, and it is expected to be used tomorrow morning.

After getting these two good news, Lin Yu slept soundly.

Very sound.

He slept until the next morning, an hour before the banquet was about to start.

He left the bed reluctantly, washed up, and then went to the hotel where the banquet was held accompanied by the defense company.

In the hotel, seven or eight middle-aged people sat around a table, looking at each other with murderous intent. They opened their mouths to curse, but then they remembered that this was not Myanmar, and the person at the main seat had not arrived yet. Maybe he was listening to them in a corner.

Thinking of this, these angry people chose to hold back the words on their lips, just looking at each other with murderous eyes, ready to kill each other with their eyes.

The banquet started at 10 o'clock, but Lin Yu didn't arrive until 10:30.

He sat down on the main seat with two bottles of wine in his hand, put the wine on the table, and asked the waiter standing by the door to serve the dishes.

The hotel was very fast. In ten minutes, dozens of dishes were placed on the table.

In the middle, there was a boiling hot pot.

There was also an alarm clock next to the hot pot, and the countdown alarm clock was ticking.

After the dishes were served, the hotel did not give chopsticks or spoons.

After serving the dishes, the waiter left.

Looking at the delicious food and wine in front of them, but without chopsticks, a group of people who acted arrogantly in Myanmar could not sit still.

At the position closest to the door, a generous man coughed lightly and asked Lin Yu slowly: "Mr. Lin, you invited us to come over for dinner, we give you face."

"But there's no need for you to humiliate us like this, right? For the banquet at 10 o'clock in the morning, you delayed coming until 10:30, letting the waiter finish serving the food, and not giving you chopsticks. I really want to ask what do you want to do?"

"We in Myanmar are also people who say the same thing. Is it going too far if you do this?"

Although the words were spoken slowly, the anger in them was clearly expressed.

After listening to his words, Lin Yu leaned forward, holding his chin with his right hand, and glanced from his left side first. When he came to the man's side, he changed his movements, holding his chin with his left hand, and glanced from his right side.

Finally, his eyes rested on the man again.

Before he could speak, Danta, the commander of Kachin State’s Second Special Zone, stuck his head out and explained:

"Wuka, the commander of the Second Special Zone of Northern Shan State, should be called the United Wa State Army in your place."

Hearing this, Lin Yu pressed his head and thought for a while before remembering where this guy was.

Below Guogan, east of Lashio.

After thinking clearly about this guy's position, Lin Yu didn't intend to continue talking to these people. He held his forehead with his left hand and tapped his index finger on the table with his right hand, his face speechless.

After a while, he asked: "I remember the last time I came to cooperate and build that oil pipeline, I told you not to fight and kill me all day long, and don't give me drugs all day long. Don’t engage in those crooked ways.”

"You can rest assured and seek development, and I will naturally help you develop. Although it is a bit slow, it is more stable."

"Even the military government agreed at the time. How long did it take for the results to come out?"

"Tell me? Why did they start fighting again? You have eaten enough every day and have nothing to do, right?"

"Um……"

"I called you here today to have this meal, just to ask if you took what you said then as farts."

"I am a kind-hearted person. If you say it boldly, I can invite you over and I can ensure that you go back safely."

"You don't have to worry about me plotting against you behind your back, because there's no need for me. I like to be upright and punish without teaching. That's not my style."

"The vegetables in the pot are the first batch of mushrooms this year. They need to be cooked for more than 45 minutes to ensure they are thoroughly cooked so that they are not poisonous."

"Just take advantage of these 45 minutes to explain to me, okay?"

The tone was very gentle, and there was no threat in the words, but when it fell on the ears of several people present, it was like a bolt from the blue.

The meaning of the words is very clear. I will explain it clearly today, and then go back safely and do all the work according to my explanation.

Especially if he is punished without teaching!

Now that the other party has given you a step, you must go down. If you don't go down, it will be a punishment.

At that time, if you want to find excuses to delay, you have to think about it carefully.

Consider whether your head is strong enough to catch bullets or cannonballs!
