Li Jing and Lin Wei are both the sons-in-law of today's birthday star, first Li Jing stepped forward with wine to thank everyone for coming to congratulate him on his birthday, and every table stepped forward to toast a glass of wine, and then Lin Wei, as the son-in-law of the birthday star, of course, also toasted one by one. Today, Li Jing's three sisters Wanrong, Wanyu, and Wanqing, who went out early to get married, also rushed back to their parents' house with their husbands and children, but these three brothers-in-law are all honest and honest people, although they are ranked above Lin Wei, but they will only follow behind like a guy holding wine, and they are a little timid and can't let go in front of those official gentry.

"I would like to thank you all of you for coming from afar to congratulate my mother on her birthday, if there is any inconsiderate hospitality today, please forgive me. Li Jing has a drink here first, everyone is free. Li Jing drank the wine in one sip first, and then Lin Wei and his eldest brother-in-law Han Jin, the second husband Zhang Yang, and the third brother-in-law Yang Yanshi followed one by one to toast each other. From the Li family's compound to the outside venue, more than 100 officials and gentry came and the villagers in the village, and the long table of ten people was full of forty or fifty tables, which could be described as lively and amazing. Li Jing saluted one table after another, the first few tables were officials and elders, and Li Jing had to have at least one drink at each table.

After the first few tables, Li Jing couldn't bear to drink like this, and at first, seven or eight brothers from the Li family, who came from the same clan to celebrate his birthday together, helped him drink, and later, he simply asked Zhang Chengzong to get a pot of water. After drinking it for a while, although Li Jing was not drunk, he was also swollen with water. It was at this time that Xiao Shi ran to say that something big was wrong.

"Brother, there are a lot of people on the road in the north of the village, and there are even more people here, there are five or six hundred, all of them are young and strong men." Xiao Shi also drank some wine as a guest just now, and he just received an urgent report from a villager who was arranged to be on guard at the head of the village that he had found a lot of people coming to the village, and he didn't dare to delay at the moment, so he immediately ran to tell Li Jing.

Li Jing was also a little surprised, but he had already regarded the officials and gentry who came to pay homage as bandits and made a false alarm. Now that the guests have begun to sit down, the troupe has also taken the stage, and the mother will come over soon. At this time, Li Jing didn't want to make people panic, so he brought a small stone and then ordered Zhang Chengzong and Liu Shouqian to go to the north gate.

Riding horses rushed to the north village gate, where dozens of villagers had already gathered. Village Chief Li Shugen is in charge of guarding the village today, and although there is a big banquet in the village today, he is still very conscientious and took over the post after only drinking two glasses of wine.

"San Lang, come and see, there are many people coming over, more than before."

Li Jing stepped on the ladder and went up to the village wall, stretched out his hand to build a pergola on his eyebrows, and saw from a distance, sure enough, a large crowd of people was coming, and there were at least six or seven hundred people on the frame. The black crows moved slowly like dark clouds, and they were all really young, mostly on foot, and a few on horseback, and some on mules and donkeys. Look at the clothes, but they are all varied, white, gray, and brown.

Li Jing didn't dare to be careless, and asked the village chief of Shugen to close the village gate, and put the villagers on duty under the village wall and the people he brought on the village wall. After a while, the group of people approached and stopped a hundred paces away. Then five or six men on horseback rushed over, "Hey, brothers on the village wall, we are General Li's brothers, and we are here to pay homage to the old lady today." Please pass it through! ”

Li Jing looked over carefully, but saw that it was Liu Heigou, the leader of Zuo Yidu, who spoke. couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and then looked at the people next to him carefully, several of them were several gang leaders from Zuo Yidu, and today they were all wearing cloth clothes instead of military uniforms, but Li Jing didn't recognize them for a while. At that moment, he hurriedly opened the door and went out, and Liu Heigou saw Li Jing personally greet him, and hurriedly greeted him.

"How did you come all this way?" Li Jing smiled, and then gestured to the people behind him with his eyes: "Why are there so many people in the back?" Liu Heigou laughed twice, and said with some trepidation: "The general wants to hold a fiftieth birthday for the old lady, and this matter has already spread in Qingning Township." We are all subordinates of the general, so of course we have to show our hearts. Originally, a few days ago, I just went to make an appointment with a few leaders of the same team and said that they would come together today, but unexpectedly, when the other brothers heard about it, they also had to come together. Originally, Zuo Yidu's brothers were less than a hundred people, but" Liu Heigou scratched his head, and said a little embarrassed: "Because the general said last time that if my brothers are qualified, they can also follow the general to eat meat and earn food, I will bring the four brothers together to the old lady to pay respects, and let the adults take a look at them and test them." Unexpectedly, I brought four of my brothers with me, but the other brothers in Tokyo were all like me, and they all brought their brothers who wanted to follow the general as soldiers. This time, there were a lot of people, almost 700 people. ”

Things are indeed as Liu Heigou said, Zuo Yidu's brothers are all from Qingning Township, since that day after the disbandment of the team and their return home, they took home the rewards and settlement fees to the villagers were surprised, I heard that going to Shamen Town as a garrison not only did not suffer as legend, but also had a rich settlement fee and monthly money and food, and those villagers who were suffering from famine at home could not sit still. After inquiring about various situations, they asked to go to Salmon Town as well.

It happened that Li Jing was going to hold a big birthday for his mother in the township, and everyone wanted to take the opportunity to come to pay homage to Li Jing and let Li Jing see his brothers and clansmen. After all, it only takes two hundred and fifty people to go to Shamen Town, and now there are a hundred. Everyone had the same idea, and when they reached the end, there was a team of nearly 700 young people who came to the front of the village. Li Jing figured out what happened before and after, but he couldn't help but laugh on his face.

Fathers and sons go into battle, fight tigers and brothers.

He had originally decided to recruit only the township party in Qingning Township as the remaining soldiers, but now that he had not erected the recruitment flag, he suddenly came to join the army with these six or seven hundred young men, which was naturally a great thing. What's more, most of these people are relatives and neighbors of the soldiers of Zuo Yidu, and recruiting such people into the team can make his team more cohesive.

"Although Shamen Town can only recruit another hundred and fifty people, since all the villagers who are here are fellow villagers of all the brothers, then we will talk about joining the army later, and let's drink a few glasses of birthday banquet wine together today." Li Jing turned his head to Zhang Chengzong and said, "You go back immediately and inform the old village chief's Wang Niangzi and ask her to prepare wine and meat immediately." If the material is not enough, send someone to buy some in Chishan immediately. ”

Liu Heigou hurriedly said: "General, don't you dare, we are just rough people, but we don't dare to go to the village to disturb the birthday banquet." Let's go into the village in batches to pay homage to the old lady, and then go home first, and then come tomorrow to be reviewed and selected by the general? ”

"It's all guests, it's my mother's birthday, and I'm definitely happier to see so many people. Let's all enter the village, and everyone will follow the original team in the capital, and each of them will lead the people they brought, and enter the village one after another. This is an opportunity to pull prestige, and Li Jing is unwilling to miss it. Qingning Township is a township, but Li Jing plans to use more fellow villagers if he expands the army in the future.

After listening to Li Jing's words, Liu Heigou also immediately went back with a smile, and then according to the original situation in the capital. The soldiers of the left capital all received the people they brought, and then according to the original team, one army and one ten. The original group expanded into a team, nearly 700 people, divided into ten teams, and entered the village one by one in order, but it did not seem to be crowded. Li Jing stood at the gate of the village, greeting the old subordinates and their relatives who had entered the village. On the other hand, he also evaluated in his heart the young people they brought, most of them were young and strong, the older ones may be in their thirties, and the younger ones are sixteen or seventeen years old. Although many people seem to be a little hungry, the skeleton of the body is not bad.

After the old subordinates all brought their own people into the village, there was still a group of people left outside the village gate. Li Jing looked at these people with some surprise, this group of people is estimated to be fifty or sixty people in total, but they are divided into two groups. One group was a group of guards wearing short brown trousers, carrying clubs with eyebrows in their hands, and iron swords at their waists, who did not follow into the village, but remained in place, firmly guarding two more luxurious double-pulled carriages, and a row of ten pack carts behind. On the other side, there was a young man in a green shirt, with several guards by his side, and ten wagons with goods parked behind him.

With just one glance, Li Jing had already seen that these people were obviously not here with Liu Heigou and them. It seems that the group of people who were ordered by Huangfu County before, could it be the squire merchants who came to give gifts?

At this time, the curtain of the carriage in front of him was opened, and a young man with a face like a crown of jade and gorgeous clothes came down, wearing a moonlight silk collar and a large sleeve placket. There is a white jade belt around his waist, and a jade bi is tied to it. He was wearing a flat scarf on his head that looked like an ingot-shaped section on the front. Under the wide sleeves, he wore a three-foot jade and gold wire handle sword at his waist.

Seeing this outfit, Li Jing was slightly stunned. Looking at this person's outfit, it is definitely either rich or expensive, or even ordinary expensive. And there is a natural arrogance and nobility in this person, which seems to be born with it. The feeling he brought to Li Jing seemed to have only been felt in Cui Yunqing and Li Xiao. The young nobleman got out of the car and walked straight to the carriage behind, and lifted the curtain respectfully.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Li Jing did not immediately see the people in the carriage. A hand reached out from the car and rested lightly on the young nobleman's arm. It was a very white and greasy, then slightly plump hand, and a small piece of wrist peeking out under several layers of ornate large cuffs. The hand stretched out first, and then the talent in the carriage slowly appeared. Rao Lijing was already prepared in his heart, but after seeing this person, he was still slightly stunned. The man with such beautiful hands was an old man, an old woman with silver hair.
