Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 512 The Real Deal! Pilgrimage to the Holy Land!

Hao Pingchuan certainly had the confidence to say that, after all, the strength of the guard battalion was undeniable.

How do you say that word?

Yes, a chasm!

The gap between the guard battalion and the main force regiment is an insurmountable chasm, an insurmountable barrier!

In this situation, even if you put a dog in the battalion commander's position, it could rout a main force regiment that is still stuck in the World War II era. It would be absolutely impossible for it to lose!
Still planning?
Isn’t this bullying?
"I, Hao Pingchuan, would never do something like that to bully others!"

Of course, all of the above are just excuses Hao Pingchuan used to embellish his own image.

While that's certainly part of the reason, Hao Pingchuan's integrity speaks for itself.

Even if you believe the guard battalion is invincible, as a commander, at this time and at this juncture, you must still be with the soldiers and carry out various pre-battle preparations.

What is the main thing?
The main problem is that he wasn't involved in this exercise at all!

As mentioned earlier, this confrontation is a clash between a pure, unadulterated steel torrent and a near-complete information warfare.

He said he would strive for authenticity and perfection, but his understanding of information warfare is only superficial. He's just a dabbler with a smattering of knowledge, so of course he has to step down and hand over command to Gao Cheng.

Therefore, the guard battalion was not unprepared, and Hao Pingchuan was not unwilling to go back and prepare.

The problem is that there's simply no place for him in the guard battalion right now!
In addition, given that Ximen Lang really needed protection and the need to avoid suspicion, Hao Pingchuan had no choice but to shamelessly follow along.

But saying it like that is really too low-class and a bit too pathetic.

Hao Pingchuan is a grown man; he can't afford to lose face like this!
So they just blow as much as they can, and exaggerate as much as they can!
Goodness, saying it expanded into a sphere is an understatement.

I felt that Ximen Lang was exaggerating and getting too cocky, so I wanted to criticize him right then and there.

"Look at yourself now! Take a good look at yourself! Is this even presentable?! Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit, but look at yourself! What kind of behavior is this?!"

Even Ximen Lang couldn't understand how the guard battalion, with such a huge advantage, could lose.

So, she just scolded him a few times in a bad mood, and then Ximen Lang was captivated by the lively scene under the overpass.

There were birdcages and birds for sale right next to it.

Ximen Lang, who had long wanted to experience the extravagant lifestyle of carrying birdcages and swaggering around town, pointed at his incredibly flashy Armani sunglasses with his middle finger.

Ximen Lang strode directly to the boss's stall.

Regardless of whether the bird was actually trained by the boss in a sophisticated way, it's all about what catches your eye.

They didn't even bother to haggle with the owner, and paid the bill without hesitation, considering any extra money as a tip.

Carrying a birdcage and surrounded by a large group of people, Ximen Lang began to swagger around under the overpass.

And the result.
This immediately made Ximen Lang and his group, who were already attracting a lot of attention, the focus of everyone's attention!

It's true, because Ximen Lang's acting was just too realistic.

That look is exactly like Captain Jia from Dingxianglou.

Its style was a mix of the mannerisms of countless infamous villains, both big and small, from various films and television dramas.

They are even more spoiled and hated than real spoiled brats.

It's no exaggeration to say that Bai Ling was so angry that she gritted her teeth and her fists were hard!
So why did this guy finally take off his old cadre uniform that he practically sleeps in and put on a bright, silk dress today? Turns out he was waiting for her here!

Isn't this utter nonsense?! Why can't a proper cadre put on airs? Instead, they insist on acting like scoundrels, parading around the city center with birdcages in hand. They're still playing this game in this day and age!
It's not just a disease, it's downright cerebral palsy!
Bai Ling couldn't take it anymore!
"Are you out of your mind?! Dressed like this, and pulling this stunt, what the hell are you trying to do?!"

The fact that Bai Ling was so angry that she cursed directly shows just how hateful Ximen Lang's appearance is!
Unfortunately, Ximen Lang, who was in a great mood for playing, hadn't had enough fun yet!
Just then, Bai Ling's angry glare reminded Ximen Lang of a classic scene.

With a slight flick of his finger, he hooked Bai Ling's chin, and under Bai Ling's incredulous gaze, Ximen Lang spoke in an extremely flippant manner.

"Come on, girl, give this old man a smile."

This has really stirred up a hornet's nest.

Originally, Bai Ling already felt that Ximen Lang's actions were shameful enough and made her angry enough.

Now, Ximen Lang has pulled this stunt again.

Bai Ling was so angry that she wanted to hang Ximen Lang up and beat him, or tie him up and hammer him.

Under Bai Ling's almost tangible death stare, Ximen Lang finally belatedly realized the seriousness of the problem.

"His smile is uglier than his tears," Ximen Lang said nervously.

"If you really don't want to, girl, I can give you a smile, it's negotiable, everything's negotiable."

His miserable appearance made it impossible for Bai Ling to stay angry with him.

After a long while, Bai Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief and explained to Ximen Lang with reason and emotion.

"Ah Lang, I know you're young and playful. But even if you love to play, you should at least be mindful of the occasion! Putting on this show so openly in the street! Look at them, take a good look! Look how angry they are, they're practically grinding their teeth! Do you believe that a whole bunch of people will report you soon?"

Ximen Lang looked closely and found that it was indeed true.

If things continue to develop like this, they will really start reporting themselves in droves.

Some of the big shots are even starting to get restless and ready to take matters into their own hands!

Ximen Lang finally stopped being so arrogant.

He should quickly explain to the brothers that Bai Ling is his wife and that he wasn't being indecent.

Considering that Ximen Lang's four henchmen and Hao Pingchuan were tall and strong and not easy to mess with, the brothers let him go.

And then, what's next?
Under Bai Ling's extremely disgusted urging, Ximen Lang quickly found a secluded place and changed out of his outfit, which looked like that of a traitor.

Only then did everyone feel at ease strolling around the streets.

It's like listening to crosstalk, then clapper talk, then watching acrobatics, then watching foreign films.

The diverse performances left Ximen Lang dazzled and completely satisfied.

They were just marveling at how worthwhile the trip had been.

A bookstore on the street that looked unremarkable but increasingly familiar caught Ximen Lang's eye.

As his memory became clearer, Ximen Lang finally remembered what Tongyuan Bookstore was.

Then, filled with emotion, he said.

"Yes, this is the place where Yu Zecheng uttered that 'flowers and dog shit' statement that I still can't forget to this day."
