Li Xian's arrival is like a pebble hitting the surface of a calm lake, causing ripples in circles, and it is not yet known whether he can be like a butterfly in the Amazon rainforest, occasionally flapping its wings and setting off a tornado two weeks later.

But right now, he doesn't care so much.

West of the city, Li House.

This was originally the mansion of Wuyushan, and before Li Zhao completely stepped on the stage, the plaque of the mansion was changed to the surname Li.

Today, the originally quiet mansion is very different from usual, and all the fifty soldiers under Li Xian's command are here, including the descendants of the Black Dragon Gang, Liu Xiaoming, Ding Qing, Xiaoshan, and Xiaohu.

Between the stoves in the backyard, the smoke curls up, and the smoke of the world is all over the ground.

"Do...... Do-do-......"

Li Xian was dressed in casual clothes, the kitchen knife turned into a blurry phantom in his hand, and he quickly cut a piece of mutton into dozens of small pieces, copied it with his hands, and burned the oil in the hot pot to put the meat!

The sound of crisp and crisp sounds continuously, and plates of fragrant dishes are prepared and then taken out.

"Uncle ......"

"Uncle, the dishes have been chosen. “

Xiaohu raised his head and said to Li Xian with a bright smile. Xiaoshan sat on a small stool on the side, adding firewood to the stove, and smoked his face black.

I haven't seen each other for half a year, and these two little guys are far from when they came out of the small broken temple. At that time, the two of them were gray-headed, with thin arms and legs, and there were few taels of flesh on their bodies.

Now Xiaohu has a ruddy complexion, and he has raised a little baby fat, and the whole person looks very cute and lively. As for Xiaoshan, his body is now slightly longer, his face is resolute, and he has matured a lot in the past, and when he is a few years older, his body bones will grow faster.

"Good!"

Li Xian replied with a smile, and lightly tapped her nose with his hand: "Let's go out and play......"

Xiaohu nodded, and jumped out of the stove, leaving Xiaoshan alone to fill the firewood silently.

As soon as the little girl on the front foot left, someone on the back foot hurriedly rushed in, came straight to Li Xian, and hugged her fists very respectfully: "Lord, Ding Qing is late." ”

The person who came was Ding Qing.

He was wearing a scarlet head-catching suit, carrying a goose feather knife around his waist, and his face was sweating profusely. Thinking that it was the first time to know the news of Li Xian's return, he hurried back.

"Hmmm......"

Li Xian held the pot, flipped it up and down, scooped the spoon and scraped it, and a plate of braised pork was cooked.

"Xiaoshan, take it out. ”

"Yes, uncle. Xiaoshan put down the wood in his hand, got up, picked up the plate on the stove, and walked out directly.

Li Xian looked at Ding Qing, smiled on his cold cheeks, and hammered his chest hard. The latter clutched his chest and took two steps back, squeezing out a smile on his face.

"Not bad...... Martial arts cultivation has not fallen, and the degree of bone change is not low now, don't be in a hurry to take your time and lay a good foundation. ”

"Hey...... The subordinates got it. “

Hearing this, Ding Qing smiled on his face, casually put the Yanling knife aside, rolled up his sleeves to help with the ingredients, and said:

"Lord...... Now it's getting more and more powerful, but it's a pity that I can't follow the saddle before and after the lord is around. ”

"You, Flim Flam hasn't changed. ”

"My subordinates will definitely try to keep up with the Lord's footsteps. Ding Qing looked at Li Xian and said very seriously.

When he came back, he saw the soldiers in that courtyard very clearly, and the appearance of the mountains was depicted on the armor, which was a mountain-shaped camp!

Even if he passed by in a hurry, Ding Qing could feel the murderous aura overflowing from their bodies, and goosebumps rose all over his body, which was completely different from a person like him who was born in the rivers and lakes recklessly, and the impact was particularly violent.

But because of this, Ding Qing is more motivated in his heart, he is a very ambitious and unwilling to be ordinary, the pace of the lord is getting faster and faster, he must work hard, desperately to catch up, and he must not lag behind!

Otherwise, he would not be qualified to follow Li Xian into a new world.

"Then you're going to have to work hard......"

Li Xian turned his head to look at Ding Qing's serious face and encouraged.

Talk to some people about dreams, talk to some people about interests, talk to some people about the present, talk to some people about the future, everyone wants something different, only by maintaining the same interests can the ship go farther and farther.

Ding Qing laughed, the horizontal flesh on his face shook uncontrollably, and he patted his chest and replied loudly: "Hmm!"

After that, the two hurried to make the remaining dishes.

A little red flame came out of Li Xian's fingertips, bounced into the pot, boom, a fire broke out in the pot, he carefully controlled the energy to fry the vegetables, but in two or three seconds, a plate of green vegetables was cooked.

However, Ding Qing saw the red flames on his fingertips, and his pupils shrank slightly.

'Oneness!'

Li Xian washed his hands in the water tank, picked up the linen cloth next to the stove and wiped it, picked up the plate and said with a smile: "Eat!"

After speaking, he walked straight out of the stove, and Ding Qing also quickly wiped his hands and hurriedly followed.

In the backyard, there are more than a dozen tables, and around a big red table in the center, it is full of people inside and out!

There was also a bonfire with several sheep roasting on it. Li Xian came to the main table, put the last plate in his hand on the table, looked at the cronies present in front of him, raised the wine cup full of wine, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said:

"Eat!"

"Drink together!"

"Lala......" A group of people who stood up in the dark also raised their wine glasses, and the wine ran down their throats.

The atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Li Xian looked at all this with a smile on his face. For him, all the people sitting here right now are in his hands, connected to his fate.

When you get home, cook a meal by yourself, and drink and eat meat with your brothers, it is undoubtedly the most appropriate, is there anything more comfortable than this?

On his left hand side is the Black Dragon Gang led by Li Zhao, and on his right hand side is the Shanzi Camp led by Xiao Liuzi and Lao Chen. Yan Le sat next to Xiao Liuzi next to him.

Yes, Yan Le was also brought back by Li Xian, if he was left alone in the wilderness, it is estimated that no one would be able to cure the 'bad wind' around him, and if there is any more trouble, this child's slightly cheerful personality during this time is estimated to be hit to the bottom again.

The wine cups collided, and everyone's faces were full of smiles.

For today's banquet, in fact, they are a little flattered in their hearts, after all, they have never heard of a boss (general) who personally cooks for everyone, but in the end, ...... The meal was comfortable and enjoyable.

Xiao Liuzi looked left and right, looking idle, but Yan Le, who was sitting next to him, noticed that his eyes were frequently looking at Li Zhao.

As everyone knows, Xiao Liuzi is curious in his heart.

He is almost the same age as Li Zhao, and he naturally saw the scene in the small courtyard in the west of the city this morning, in fact, since he followed Li Xian's side, he had never seen Brother Li smile so happily and sincerely, he had never seen it before!

In that small courtyard, Xiao Liuzi felt that he was in contact with the other side of Li Xian, not himself, but outside the barracks, about Li Xian's affairs and people.

He heard the person named Liu Xiaoming say that the person sitting next to Brother Li was Brother Li's younger brother and the most important relative.

His name is Li Zhao, he is the leader of the largest gang in Wujun Mansion, the master of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, the leader of black and white, and the first good man.

His name is followed by a series of suffixes, and Li Zhao's rise has only taken half a year, and he is as dazzling and outstanding as Brother Li!

Of course, with Xiao Liuzi's temperament, he doesn't have any special thoughts in his heart, but he just thinks that this young man who has seen him last year is so powerful!

is worthy of being Brother Li's younger brother.

......

"Sister eats this!" Xiaoshan sandwiched a piece of mutton and put it in the Xiaohu bowl.

"Thank you, brother......"

Xiaohu smiled very happily, and his eyes narrowed into a crescent moon.

They also sat at the main table, but at the back of the table. For Xiaohu, it is a happy thing for the uncle who left the young man for half a year to come back.

The children of the poor are in charge of the family early, this sentence is not wrong at all, only after the hardships of life, people will grow, regardless of the size of the age, growth is actually a momentary thing, because life, because of something, someone......

Xiaohu knew in her heart that she and her brother could have a stable life today, and she actually understood this very well.

"Don't think so much, eat well. ”

Xiaoshan seemed to see what his sister was thinking, reached out and wiped the oil stains on the corner of his sister's mouth, and said softly.

Xiaohu nodded.

Xiaoshan picked up a piece of pork knuckle in front of him and ate it in a big gulp, but his eyes were looking around, and he found that there were very few people in the Black Dragon Gang, and there were only two core figures, Ding Qing and Liu.

Liang Kuan had been here before, and then left in a hurry...... Most of the rest were the soldiers brought by Li Xian.

Sitting at this table are all the generals under the uncle.

After observing, he vaguely understood...... What does Li Xian really fancy, the Black Dragon Gang is just a tool for the uncle and Brother Zhao to collect money and buy talents.

He also noticed another point, that is, none of the soldiers and men had drunk, except for the first toast, they had tacitly not drunk, but only gulped down meat.

It should have been a simple cup of tea, because Xiaoshan didn't smell a strong smell of wine or aroma.

Of course, Li Xian naturally couldn't know everything about everyone's thoughts at the wine table. He just supported his chin with a smile on his face, looked at the warm scene in front of him, and took a sip of wine from time to time.

At this time, Li Zhao suddenly got up, bypassed Li Xian, and went straight to Xiao Liuzi, Lao Chen, and Yan Le.

With a delicate face and a smile on the corner of his mouth, Li Zhao opened his mouth and said, "Let's talk?"

Xiao Liuzi hurriedly wiped the oil stains on the corners of his mouth with his palm, and Lao Chen and Yan Le also looked like they were sitting upright.

"It's just a conversation...... It doesn't have to be like this. ”

Li Zhao smiled, moved a chair and sat among the three of them, and his gentle words were like a spring breeze:

"The young master and I talked about you in the letter, and Zhaoshen has admired you for a long time, so I just took this rare opportunity to chat. ”

"Young Master?"

Xiao Liuzi was stunned when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "Didn't Mr. Liu say that Zhao Gongzi is Brother Li's younger brother?"

Li Zhao had an obvious smile in his eyes, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was even gentle, but he still retorted: "It's a scholar!"

"Can you tell me how the young master met you?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Liuzi's whole person was in good spirits, and he moved the stool closer to Li Zhao. He began to gush: "It was a rainy night......"

Li Xian watched them play together with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he understood why the dog took the initiative to do this.

He has a complicated relationship with Xiao Liuzi, Da Zhuang, and Lao Chen, and these people are also the characters he will focus on cultivating in the future......

In the case of mutual tacit understanding between the two sides, it has become a relationship of both prosperity and loss.

Time passed little by little, the moon rabbit quietly jumped on the branch, and the moonlight sprinkled to the earth.

"Chenjiacun, I know...... It's remarkable, many people in your village are soldiers in the four battalions, and they are all well-known heroes. Li Zhao gave Lao Chen a thumbs up.

Lao Chen obviously touched his neck with some embarrassment, and he couldn't see the murderous appearance in the post station that day.

Li Zhao got along with Xiao Liuzi and others in a short period of time, and the age difference between several people is not much, so it can be said that there are naturally more, and Li Zhao's knowledge is very extensive...... Whatever you want, you can start a conversation about it.

Without waiting for Lao Chen to answer, Xiao Liuzi interjected impatiently and said, "Young Master Zhao, if you have the chance, you can come to the village with Brother Li to have fun......

"Our place has beautiful mountains and rivers, and the scenery is good!"

Li Zhao smiled: "Then if you have a chance...... Little Liuzi, take me to Chenjia Village to have a look. ”

Xiao Liuzi replied with a smile on his face: "Okay...... Young Master Zhao. ”

Lao Chen on the side suddenly said: "Okay, don't disturb Young Master Zhao's rest, let's see where we sleep today......"

"Huh?"

Xiao Liuzi replied in surprise, and when he turned around and found that the big guys, including Brother Li, had already left, leaving only the three of them, he reacted in hindsight.

"Okay...... Yes. ”

"Young Master Zhao, you rest early, let's go back first. ”

"Hmm...... So do you. ”

The three of them said goodbye to Li Zhao, hooked their shoulders, put their backs, and walked out of this courtyard with laughter and playfulness.

Li Zhao tidied up his clothes and turned to leave, as for Yuanbao's stomach that he had eaten a long time ago, he was now hiding in his arms and sleeping.

After a while, more than a dozen maids walked in from the entrance of the courtyard on the other side and began to clean up.

Backyard, outside the study.

In the small empty courtyard, there are two bamboo rocking chairs, Li Xian is lying on them, with his hands behind his head, looking at the starry sky overhead, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.

"Step, step, step......"

The footsteps were close, and Li Zhao lay on the rocking chair and looked at the starry sky together.

"Let's talk about it. “

"Hmmm......"

"Now that the Black Dragon Gang has completely controlled the underground world of Wu Jun, the Flying Eagle Gang found a reason to kill Falcon Tianzheng before, and then Liang Kuan directly joined the Black Dragon Gang with the Flying Eagle Gang. ”

Li Zhao's voice was very soft, but it was very clear into Li Xian's ears.

"There is a grudge between the two gangs, but it is very simple to solve, all the personnel are scattered, those who can be bought with silver can be directly used for silver, and Ding Qing disposed of everything that is disobedient and dares to make trouble......

"It was a bit of a problem at first...... By the end of the day, it had gotten a lot better. ”

Li Xian turned his head to look at Li Zhao's side face and asked, "You weren't injured at the time, were you......?"

The letters of the two have always reported good news and not bad news, Li Xian understands that the bloodshed caused by the merger of the two gangs will only be more, not less!

Haha...... It's okay young master, I can protect myself. ”

Without waiting for Li Xian to speak, Li Zhao hurriedly continued to report:

"The Four Seas Chamber of Commerce has already digested it all, but compared to the original scale, there are only thirty percent left, although the benefits brought by the caravan are large, but the time spent between them is extremely long, so the profits in the caravan this year are ninety percent!

"I have already handed it over to Wu Jun Mingjing in one go. ”

"Hmm...... OK!"

Li Xian nodded, and his lips touched up and down:

"Go on. ”

Li Zhao smiled and continued: "The next step is the layout of the government......

"Ding Qing was arranged by me to go to the yamen, and now he is a small catcher, and he was suppressed a little bit at the beginning, but they are all people with families and rooms, and a large amount of silver is scattered out, and the overall trend is still rising. ”

"I am now qualified as a student, and before that, I jointly funded the establishment of a school in the name of the Black Dragon Gang, and it was Zhang Xianzong who nodded his head.

"Young master, rest assured...... Their families also work in the shops and stalls we manage, and every child in the school will thank you for your kindness, and even if they don't know, their parents will tell them seriously.

"In fact...... As your pace is getting faster and faster, the government here has also received a lot of news, at least Ding Qing's side is getting smoother and smoother.

"In addition, everything is fine in the village, and now it is no longer up to us to arrange the people to come forward, and the tails we left before have been dealt with.

"I found a dilapidated family and inserted our origins into it, and the old man in the back went with peace of mind after half a year...... In the future, no matter who investigates us, they will not connect us with the village of Wanxi. “

"Well, it's done clearly, it's good. Li Xian turned his head to Li Zhao and praised.

Da Da Da ......

He tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest.

"What about Hao Nan......"

Li Zhao glanced at his young master, and his cold and hard cheeks couldn't see emotion.

Since you left, young master, Gai Haonan didn't care about the affairs of the gang, he didn't recommend Chen Leyi or Wang An to take the position, so he directly handed over all the people under his hands. ”

Li Xian asked, "Then what is he doing now?"

"I'll give him a stall with good oil and water, right...... also married a daughter from a good family, and lived a very happy life. ”

"That's good......"

Li Zhao nodded.

"Young Master......"

"Call brother!"

Li Zhao was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Xian's rock-like cheeks, and smiled.

"Brother......

He knew that when he was talking to Xiao Liuzi and them at the wine table, he called himself a scholar and made the young master unhappy.

"Tomorrow...... Let's go see Gai Haonan. ”

"Good!"

And they spoke no more.

The wind is a little cool tonight, and the two of them ...... It's been a long, long time since I've been so relaxed.
