Chapter 144: Between the Crowds
Chapter 144: Between the Crowds
A team of people and horses can be seen slowly coming in the distance, the people outside Huyang City are becoming more and more enthusiastic, and firecrackers are also ringing out.
Finally, Li He and his giant mount appeared, and the entire welcoming crowd boiled over, and the officials of the two provinces of Qinglin also applauded at the same time.
However, just as the people were cheering for the returning heroes, and just as the people were sighing at the terrifying fire unicorn, the two rows of fresh-armored knights outside Huyang City turned over and dismounted. There was no way, for all of their mounts fell to their knees, as if they were going to welcome their emperor back, and they even bowed their heads. As a result, the two rows of knights, who were originally majestic, were now at a loss as they stood beside the war horses that could kneel on their knees.
Seeing this, an official from Linzhao Province sighed to Li Sihong: "I have heard that General Huwei is riding a fire unicorn, and his majesty is incomparable. β
As he was talking, Li He, who was riding a fire unicorn, had slowly approached Huyang City, and Li Sihong could even see the delicate appearance of several women in his arms, and he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: This Fengliu boy, how can he not forget to bring a few daughters-in-law back wherever he goes! This counts the family, and there are more than two tables of mahjong!
When Li He saw his father, he quickly turned over and got off the fire unicorn, then hugged Xiangxiang, Ling'er and Tianxiu down one by one, walked over and knelt on one knee and said loudly: "Meet my father, the child is back!" β
Xiangxiang naturally followed Yingying and bowed down, Ling'er blinked, naturally what her brother did, she also did. Tianxiu, Jingji and Aunt Feng hesitated slightly, and also fell to their knees.
Li Sihong nodded with satisfaction, this kid finally knows how to understand etiquette, he has to be ambitious, and his son can be taught. Thinking about it, he had already stepped forward to help Li He, and said with a smile: "My son fought bloodily on the battlefield, made many military exploits, and became famous, not only for my Li family, but also for my Huyang people and Qinglin people, and I am very relieved for my father's heart!" "If you come according to the ordinary outline, there is no father to welcome the son, but now Li He is the great hero of Huyang and even the whole Xia Kingdom, and when he returns to his hometown, Li Sihong, who is the governor of the two provinces and the highest local parent official, needs to go out of the city to greet him according to the etiquette system. However, our Governor Li personally came out to greet his son, but he was also willing, Li He earned so much face for him, and now when he mentioned that "General Huwei" was his son, it made him feel more face-saving.
"The child just did what he had to do, fighting on the battlefield is the duty of a soldier, if there is no wise command of the commanders, without the desperate fighting of the soldiers, these wars cannot be won." Now that there are high-ranking officials from the two provinces next to him, Li He naturally knows what kind of scene to say. Anyway, his merits are already well known, and he doesn't need to brag about himself at all, and being modest makes people even more admired.
The officials and celebrities next to him also congratulated Li He, which was naturally another word of praise. Most of these people Li He had known each other before, and he hugged his fists and casually talked to them.
"Why do those guys keep pestering my brother, really!" Lian Qing said impatiently behind the crowd.
The other women were also a little helpless, and they were all envious of Xiangxiang, and she was now by Li He's side.
"Those women, are they the rumored princesses of the Hu clan?" Yan'er saw Tianxiu and Jingji behind Li He, and said in a low voice.
Ziyan said: "This flowery carrot has to kidnap a few beauties everywhere." I really don't know what is so good about him that can make so many good women fall in love with him. β
Yun Lin next to him smiled: "There's no need to be obsessed, maybe he snatched it back." β
Yan'er, Yue'er, and Ziyan connected with their past experiences and nodded in agreement. Only Yang Wei smiled and said: "Brother Li is handsome and graceful, has a prominent family background, and has peerless martial arts, so he can naturally attract his daughter's family, don't you see that you are all 'captured' by him?" β
Lian Qing leaned over and said, "Sister Yang also likes my brother?" When the other girls heard this, they immediately looked over, saw that Yang Wei's cheeks were flushed, and they hurriedly shook their heads and said, "I'm so much older than him, how can he like me, don't talk nonsense." β
"Gee, how do you know your brother doesn't like you? According to you, do you like your brother? "Lianqing's little mouth is getting more and more powerful.
Yang Wei's cheeks turned even redder: "I won't tell you." β
"Sister Yang's face is so red, she must have been said by me." Lian Qingjiao said with a smile.
"Ahem, ahem!" Two coughs suddenly came from behind him, and then Li He's voice sounded: "I'm back." β
Except for Lian Qing, the other women were already slightly red in their eyes, if they hadn't scrupled that this was in front of the public, they would probably have thrown themselves into Li He's arms.
Lian Qing turned her head, and when she saw Li He, she saw his familiar face and warm eyes, and her nose couldn't help but feel a little sour, and she wanted to call "brother" happily, but she was a little choked up after the voice came out.
Li He smiled and gently stroked her beautiful hair, and said to the women, "Let's go home." β
Li Sihong, who was behind, also walked up and said, "Come, everyone go home and say, go home and say." β
Because of the fire unicorn, Li Sihong and the others couldn't ride horses, and in order to show respect for his father, Li He had to walk, letting Da Fei and Er Fei follow him and walk into the city.
The main street of Huyang City is extremely wide and can accommodate several carriages, but now such a large group of Li He and others, plus Sanniu and the guards of the Governor's Palace, especially the huge fire qilin, surrounded by many people on both sides, suddenly made the whole street look much narrower, and the sense of oppression suddenly increased.
For a time, the people outside the city also followed Li He and others into the city, plus the people in the city, thousands of people supported them, making the north gate of Huyang, the largest city in the south of the Yangtze River, suddenly crowded.
Life is boiling, cheers are endless, not only the streets are crowded with people on both sides, but the windows of those restaurants, teahouses, and inns are also open, and the people are all vying to see the demeanor of "General Huwei". Although most of them had already seen Li He before, he was only the second son at that time, far less majestic than now, and now it looks like the second son is still the second son, looking at the temperament, it is obviously different.
"Tiger might! β¦β¦ Tiger Might! β¦β¦ Tiger Might! The slogan of "......" is now well known to the people of the Great Xia Kingdom.
The cheers were deafening, as if the entire city had been ignited by Li He's arrival, and the people were even more fanatical than the star-chasing clan he had seen in his previous life. However, the hot gazes of those yellow flower girls who poked their heads out of the buildings still made Li He's heart flutter.
He kind of knows what it means to be young and majestic.
On the way home, Sanniu kept complaining to Li He that he didn't take them with him when he went to the battlefield.
Yang Wei said: "Brother Li, it's really thanks to your help, otherwise I and the two eldest brothers may not even be able to go home, I really didn't expect the Nalan family to be so vicious and want to kill them all." β
Li He said: "Sister Yang doesn't have to worry, with me Li He, I will never let people hurt me to the Wanli Dart Bureau." β
Yang Wei said gratefully: "I really don't know how to repay your kindness to our Wanli Dart Game." β
"Sister Yang said this, isn't it, since you call me Brother Li, and I call you Sister Yang, then we are friends, why don't you thank you?"
Yang Wei is also a straightforward person, and when she saw Li He say this, she also smiled: "Now that the Wanli Dart Bureau has finally moved to Huyang, do you know that your three subordinates have helped me to protect my bodyguards during this time, and they are already very famous in the rivers and lakes." β
"Oh?" Li He looked at Sanniu, who was busy holding his head high, and looked like "it's really the biggest mistake for you not to take us to the battlefield".
"Their current nickname is 'Wanli Three Demons', as soon as they send darts, they play the names of the three of them, what kind of robbers along the way, they all have to shrink their heads and be people, and they are majestic." Yang Wei said with a smile.
"The Three Demons of Wanli?" Li He was stunned, and couldn't help laughing: "Why isn't it Wanli Sanniu?" β
The group returned to the governor's palace, Li He was first served by Qianqian and Xiangxiang to take a bath, and then went to the front hall to have a simple dinner with his father, mother and sister Yun Lin. They also arrived in Beijing to prepare for the wedding of Li He and the daughter of the Hua family.
According to the plan, after Li He received the reward, he got married directly in the capital, and then returned to Huyang, and then married his beautiful women.
"Qianqian, Xiangxiang, Yan'er, Qingqing, Ziyan, Yue'er, these are all six. And the princess Tianxiu you brought back from the grassland, so there are seven of them. You, just Chengren, have one wife and seven concubines, and you are really good. Zhen said.
Yun Lin couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, looking at Li He and blinking, her mother didn't know that this little brother had several lovers.
Li He is also embarrassed, seven? Just kidding, plus my sister, Jingji, Ling'er, Aunt Feng, Wang Han, Gongsun Ruthless and the white condensation, how can I get thirteen or fourteen. But he doesn't dare to say it now, but now that he says it, isn't he looking for a fight? When the time comes, I'll bring people back, hehe, can my father still say the word "no"?
"Anyway, where did you find that Xiangxiang? This girl is really beautiful, I have never seen such a beautiful woman, you say, where did you turn it, what method did you turn it in? β
"Uh...... What's this...... I'm done eating, so I'll go back to the hospital first. Li He said and threw down his chopsticks to say goodbye to his parents, winked at his sister, and slipped out of the hall first. He told the girls first, and after talking to his parents, he went over, and there was a banquet waiting for him.
Yun Lin also followed out: "I'm also full, Dad, Mother, you use it slowly~"
Zhen and Li Sihong glanced at each other, and shook their heads helplessly: "These two children ......"
On the way back to the hospital, Yun Lin asked Li Hedao: "You honestly confess, how much debt do you still have outside?" β
Li He smiled awkwardly: "How can there be...... I'm such a decent person. β
"Decent?!" Yun Lin grabbed Li He's ear as soon as she stretched out her hand, "You have to be decent, this sun should come out of the west." β
"Wow!" Li He grinned: "Sister, tap and tap~ Your brother and I are also a general, don't use this trick~~~"
"General? Don't say that you are a general, even if you are a king and worship the prime minister, you are still my brother! β
"That's that...... If I am an immortal, you are still a fairy sister...... Li He said with a bitter face, yes, even if he is majestic outside, even if he has become a "Tiger General" worshiped by thousands of people, even if he can immediately cut thousands of people in the army without changing his color, he is still a younger brother in front of his sister.
In Li He's courtyard, under the moonlight, a large round table is full of all kinds of exquisite dishes, color, fragrance, and readily available, and in front of the table, Qianqian, Xiangxiang and Tianxiu and other women are sitting and waiting, waiting for the return of the male owner in this courtyard.
However, the women on the table were obviously divided into two sides, on one side were Qianqian, Qingqing and other seven women, and on the other side were Tianxiu, Jingji and Aunt Feng from the prairie. And Ling'er is very cute because of her clear and harmless eyes, so Yue'er, Qingqing and other women are very friendly to her. But this delicate girl has always been timid, and her big beautiful eyes have been watching the entrance of the courtyard, and she has not said a word.
As soon as Li He stepped into the courtyard door, Ling'er immediately rushed up, and his body floated into his arms like a light feather. In this girl's heart, this world is strange, and she can only feel relied on when she is by Li He's side.
Li He hugged Ling'er and his sister and came over and sat down, looked at the table full of warblers and Yanyan, and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that my yard has to be changed, otherwise I really can't live in it." β
But no one at the table laughed at his words, and all the women looked at him in silence.
Only Qianqian gently poured wine for him, sandwiched two pieces of his favorite dishes, and said softly: "The master didn't eat enough at the master's side, right?" These are all dishes carefully prepared by Sister Ziyan, and they are all what the master used to love. β
Li He looked at the pretty face of this beautiful person in a daze, and suddenly found that she was haggard and thin, but her eyes were full of tenderness, and unconsciously, her nose was a little sore. swept the faces of the women one by one, except for Xiangxiang, who was not affected because she was a thousand-year-old fox demon, the other women were much thinner than before he left, and they couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion in their hearts.
"Oh, by the way, I haven't introduced you yet. This is Tianxiu, you can call her Xiuxiu or Ah Xiu, this is Jingji, this is ...... Feng Ji, and this is Ling'er. Jingji and Ling'er's Xia language is not very good, you have to teach them more in the future. Li He said with a smile.
When the girls heard this, they greeted Tianxiu and the others lightly, and Tianxiu and Aunt Feng also returned the salute.
Li He introduced: "These are my fiancΓ©es, this is Qianqian, this is Xiangxiang, this is Yue'er, this is Yan'er, this is Qingqing, this is Ziyan, this is my sister Yunlin, this is my sister Qinglian." β
Lian Qing said in a low voice: "Brother, people are obviously called Lianqing, you always change people's names." β
Tianxiu heard this, remembered the situation when Li He called her "embroidery", and couldn't help but smile. The women sitting opposite Qingqing, Yue'er, and Ziyan just glanced at her lightly, and they couldn't tell whether they were happy or angry, but it was obvious that they didn't like these women from the grassland. Li He also felt this embarrassing atmosphere.
At this time, Qianqian smiled and said to Tianxiu: "Sister Tianxiu, are you still used to eating these dishes?" β
Tianxiu smiled and replied: "These dishes are delicious, they are the most delicious dishes Tianxiu has ever tasted, this Ziyan girl is really a good craft." β
Ziyan just pursed her lips and said lightly: "Pass the prize." β
Li He coughed dryly, raised a glass of wine and said to Qianqian and the girls: "I am out on the expedition this time, which makes you worried. β
The women did not speak, silently picked up the wine glass and drank it all. Speaking of which, there are few women in Li He who are not good at drinking.
"Come, eat the vegetables, I haven't eaten the dishes made by my Ziyan for a long time, um~ It's still so fragrant and delicious, let's eat it quickly, otherwise the dishes should be cold." Li He had to shift the attention of the women to the dishes, and looking at the stunning beauties at this table, he realized for the first time that the blessings of all people were enjoyable, but the trouble was not small.
Three women play one play, and his small courtyard is enough to perform four or five plays.
"You know Feng Liu's suffering~" Yun Lin, who was sitting on the side, leaned over to Zhen Shou and laughed in a low voice.
Li He could only smile helplessly, drinking and eating vegetables vigorously. Fortunately, there are also Qianqian and Xiangxiang, who can always stand on their side unconditionally, and are gentle as water at all times.
That night, the girls made room for Tianxiu, Jingji and Aunt Feng, Qingqing and Yue'er slept in one, and Ziyan slept with Lianqing.
Li He naturally slept with Xiangxiang, Qianqian, Yan'er and Ling'er.
However, except for Ling'er who fell asleep in Li He's arms this night, none of the others could sleep.
Li He lay on the bed and told Xiangxiang and the three daughters about his experience in the three northern provinces and the prairie. Of course, he automatically skipped over those battles on the battlefield and some dark things, and only focused on the adventures in the Tianshan Mountains. The three girls listened with great interest and relish, and when they knew Ling'er's life experience, they couldn't help but sympathize with this lovely and poor girl.
Qianqian gently stroked Ling'er's hair and said: "A girl's family, living alone in that uninhabited place, with no relatives and friends, I really don't know how she came here......
At this time, Ling'er in Li He's arms was curled up like a well-behaved kitten, her face was quiet and peaceful, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, revealing the cute wine vortex on her cheeks, as if she was dreaming.
Xiangxiang looked at the colorful butterfly standing on the table in the room and said, "Master, this butterfly also has a spiritual surname." β
Li He nodded and said, "Yes, it has been following me since I entered the paradise in that cave. He smiled at Xiangxiang and said, "Shouldn't it be the same as you?" β
