026 Celebration
Five days later, Zheng Xiong and Qin Gang led their troops to catch up with the convoy. Li Tianguixiang asked about the situation in Jade City, and Zheng Xiong and Qin Gang informed everyone in detail about the situation of the cavalry and cavalry coming to rescue from both directions.
Li Tiangui thought for a moment and said to Qin Gang, Zheng Xiong said: "This time the chariots and cavalry are coming, our army will retreat without a fight. The chariots and cavalry will definitely send out sentries to detect the horses to detect the strength of our army. The third brother and the fourth brother can ambush on both sides of the mountain road. If
If you encounter the pursuers, ambush and kill them, you will definitely defeat the pursuers. When the time comes, the chariots and cavalry will not know the true strength of our army, so they will no longer lead troops to pursue us, and we can safely return to the city."
After Qin Gang and Zheng Xiong received the order, they could ambush on both sides of the mountain road and wait for the chariots and cavalry to pursue them.
Li Tiangui, Li Fengjiao and others led the people and convoys to continue to speed up.
Ten days later, the convoy gradually arrived at Baishi City. Even after the convoy had just entered the city, a moment later, Qin Ming and Zheng Xiong led more than two thousand people into the city quickly and informed Li Tiangui that, as he expected,
, the two men ambushed the chariot and cavalry pursuers on the mountain road, and then waited on the mountain road for many days. When they did not see the pursuers again, they led the army back.
Everyone was extremely happy to see each other, and many soldiers hugged each other and laughed.
At this time, a celebration ribbon was placed on the head of Baishi City, and all the soldiers in front of the gate wore big red flowers, beat the victory drum, and blew the trumpet of triumph. Fang Tianming and Tian Ying led their troops out of the city to welcome everyone entering the city.
When everyone saw each other, they all laughed heartily and were very happy. There was music and music on the roadside, which was very lively. Li Tiangui led everyone into the city. Colorful lanterns were hung in the mountain city and in the valley, creating a festive atmosphere.
When everyone came to the valley, they saw that a sumptuous banquet had been prepared in the valley to celebrate everyone's victory. It turned out that after Fang Tianming returned to the mountain, the people in the village had already learned about the victory of their own troops in front, so they started preparing to celebrate early in the morning.
Banquets, victory ribbons, etc.
After Zheng Meng and Qin Gang led the convoy back to the mountain, they even brought a large amount of food and grass supplies that had been stored for many years by the chariots and cavalry. Now that the village had abundant supplies, it was more than enough to prepare a celebration banquet.
As soon as Li Tiangui and others arrived at the village, they immediately arranged for the 30,000 people who followed him and others to settle down. However, due to the large number of people, some of the houses in the village that were originally used to station troops and store sundries were also filled to capacity.
The few people had no choice but to set up tents in the woods around the valley to stay temporarily.
At night, the 30,000 people finally made temporary arrangements. Those who temporarily lived in the woods could only stay for a few days to build new rooms in the village. After receiving the guarantee from Li Tiangui and others, the people had no complaints.
The village announced that all the people who came with it could attend the banquet to celebrate the triumphant return of Baishi Village. The people were naturally happy and smiling.
After Ah Sheng returned to the village, he immediately returned home to report to his parents that he was safe. When his parents saw that Ah Sheng was not injured, and heard that Ah Sheng had been accepted as a disciple by Li Tiangui, they were overjoyed and lamented that their son was destined to be rich. Later, Ah Sheng
Sheng gave two hollowed-out pure gold balls that he had obtained from the residence of Marshal Chariot and Cavalry to his father and mother respectively. The two of them even praised Asheng for his filial piety.
At that time, Ah Sheng stayed with his father to help prepare the food and drinks for the banquet. Fortunately, with the increase in the scale of the village, a fire-headed army of about a hundred people had been formed, and all of them were familiar with preparing cold dishes and stir-frying side dishes.
, cooking fried noodles, etc., everything was okay, and seemed quite capable. The nearly sixty-strong Huotou Army that Ah Sheng took away naturally rejoined his father's Huotou Army, and they prepared a banquet together.
In this way, on the basis of the large amount of wine and food originally prepared in the cottage, with the joint efforts of these more than a hundred people, nearly a thousand large wine tables for ten people were set up in the cottage that night. The tables were filled with sumptuous dishes and intoxicating dishes.
fine wine
All the soldiers who went on this expedition were invited to the wine table to drink and celebrate together. The most respected people among the 30,000 people and those with rich families were also arranged to drink at the banquet. Those who had fewer wine tables in the village
For ordinary people who were unable to attend the banquet due to various reasons, Li Tiangui led the generals to confess their sins to the people, and personally arranged for good wine, meat, food and rice to be given to the people.
The common people all praised the heroes of Baishi Mountain for their kindness and virtue, and even praised Li Tiangui as a benevolent monarch.
When Li Tiangui and other generals heard this, they were very happy.
Before entering the banquet, Li Tiangui said to everyone at the banquet: "Thanks to everyone's persistence, five brothers and sisters, including me, will guard the foundation of Baishi Mountain. Now that the time and place are favorable, our soldiers and soldiers are brave, so that our village can sing a song of victory.
Come back victorious, brothers, so that our brothers can gather together in this life, let us drink this cup together,"
In the valley, all the soldiers raised their wine glasses high, thanked Li Tiangui, and drank them all in one gulp.
Then, Li Tiangui said: "My mountain city is unfortunate, but I am deeply loved by all the people who are willing to come and seek refuge. I will make an oath from today on. Anyone who enters my Baishi Mountain, I will swear to the death to ensure that everyone is safe and well-fed."
warm"
As soon as Li Tiangui said this, the mood of the people in the valley immediately rose, and songs of praise were heard from time to time. In the end, everyone could only hear people shouting loudly: "Baishishan, Baishishan, Baishishan..."
After a long time, Li Tiangui signaled everyone to stop, raised a third glass of wine and said: "With this third glass, I would like everyone in Baishi Mountain to pray to God, and hope that God can protect us from this national disaster and protect us."
Everyone can live in peace in this world. Come, let’s drink this cup together.”
After everyone drank the third glass of wine with Li Tiangui, everyone began to eat and drink freely. Many soldiers also made fists and made drinking orders to help the wine. During the banquet, everyone changed glasses, drank wine, raised their glasses and sang loudly, so happy...
At the banquet table near the middle, Hao Ran was sitting in the north, including Li Tiangui, Fang Tianming and other five brothers. Li Fengjiao, Zheng Meng, Qin Gang and other young generals who had made great contributions to the capture of Jade City were accompanying them.
The young and middle-aged generals toasted to Li Tiangui and other five village leaders, but Li Tiangui and others gave the wine to all the young generals. It was you who asked for the wine at the banquet.
Qian, after drinking for more than fifty years, he ran away on the pretext of patrolling the mountains, but in the end, the young generals still couldn't match the drinking capacity of Li Tiangui and other four old gingers, and they all fell drunk. Among them, Ah Sheng was even drunker, and the two of them were drunk.
His eyes were stunned. It turned out that A Sheng was helping his father and mother with the banquet, but he was called by Li Tiangui to sit down and have a drink with him.
Fortunately, Ah Sheng has been practicing hard in the past few years, and his body has become very strong, and his will has also become extremely firm. Although he is smelling of alcohol, but with a certain consciousness, he has been able to maintain his strength, unlike Li Fengjiao, Zheng Meng, Qin Gang, etc.
The five young generals had already laid down on the wine table, but Ah Sheng also knew that if he drank any more, he would definitely fall under the wine table, so he quickly excused himself as he was in a hurry and ran away.
Ah Sheng walked towards home in a daze. He kept feeling drunk. He felt that it was difficult for him to hold on. Suddenly, a cool breeze blew slowly, making Ah Sheng feel chilled all over.
I feel sober now.
At this time, Ah Sheng discovered that he was walking in the wrong direction in a drunken state. His original intention was to go home and rest. Ah Sheng carefully identified the scene around him and suddenly understood that he was walking in the wrong direction.
Unknowingly, I ended up at the home of my master, Xu Yue Niang. The place where I have been studying in the past few years is also my favorite place, so I am naturally very familiar with it.
Ah Sheng thought of Xu Yueniang, his mentor who taught him how to read and write, and of his angelic face when he was young and helpless. He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt like a deer bumping into each other, and it was so messy that he couldn't extricate himself. It was just a very strong thought.
What kept popping up in Ah Sheng's mind was that he was very eager to see Xu Yueniang, whom he hadn't seen for more than ten days, even just once.
Ah Sheng touched the pure gold phoenix hairpin in his arms. It was exactly what he wanted to give to his master Xu Yueniang. He mustered up his courage, suppressed the inexplicable emotion in his heart, and rang Xu Yueniang's
