Twenty days later, the court's reward officially arrived in Jinzhou. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In front of the main hall, on a towering flagpole, a bright Daxu is flying in the wind in the sun, and there is a huge "ancestor" word embroidered on it.

Rows of generals dressed in military attache uniforms lined up in a neat queue, standing solemnly, and everyone listened attentively to Zu Dashou, the chief soldier in crimson military attache uniform, standing on the high platform, and reciting aloud the promotion and reward decree issued by the imperial military department.

"Li Xiao, the sentinel of Guangning Zhongtun Station, led the team to bravely explore the enemy area, and won the 6th level of captivity, which was commendable and loyal, and greatly boosted the morale of the army. Can you not be rewarded to encourage the soldiers? Now Li Xiao is promoted to a hundred households, the official rank is promoted to a hundred generals, given a hereditary small flag, and another reward of 300 taels of official silver, 4 brocade silk, hereby decreed. I hope that this member will need to work hard in the future to serve the court, admiration. ”

"Minister Li Xiao is grateful."

Li Xiao, who was kneeling on the ground, respectfully received the edict from Zu Dashou, who was smiling.

In addition to Li Xiao's promotion to Zhengbai, Chen Monkey and Wang Yishou were both promoted to the general flag, and each was rewarded with 100 taels of silver and 1 piece of silk. However, because both of them were still recuperating from their injuries in Chen Mazi Hospital, Li Xiao was asked to seal the letter on behalf of the official.

Zu Dashou smiled and stretched out his hand to help Li Xiao, and Li Xiao took advantage of the situation to get up.

Originally, according to Zu Dashou's expectation, Li Xiao's reward might take a month, but he never thought that in the frustrating environment of the defeated army and the loss of land in Liaodong, the imperial court attached great importance to this skirmish.

Zu Dashou, who received the imperial court's promotion order, felt inexplicably relaxed in his heart. He thought to himself, in this way, his subordinates have this small credit, and the responsibility of losing the Golden State can be relatively lightened.

This is also the reason why, to promote such a small hundred-household official, Zu Dashou wanted to call these senior officers such as adjutant generals, staff generals, guerrillas, etc., together and let them listen to the imperial decree.

Zu Dashou hopes that in this way, he can rebuild his prestige among these generals. If there are still people among the generals under his command who are inspired to make military achievements like Li Xiao, it would be even better.

"Come on, bring Li Baihu's official uniform seal."

"Yes!"

Soon, a sergeant of the official uniform seal took it with both hands and handed it to Zu Dashou.

Li Xiao knelt on the ground, thanked him repeatedly, then raised his hands high, and solemnly took the waist card and the seal of the official uniform from Zu Dashou's hand, and his reward silver and silk were packed into a large box and placed next to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao took a closer look at the official clothes he received, and the waist card of the hundred household officials was carved from fine copper, and there were the words "hundred households" in ancient Liwen with patterns entwined on it. The seals of the letter are all made of bright copper, and the four characters of the seal engraved on the chapter are round and full, and the engraving is smooth.

Zu Dashou immediately asked Li Xiao to go down to change his official uniform, and after he finished changing, he went back to the hall to have a banquet.

When Li Xiao left the hall to change clothes, the corner of his eyes was clearly visible, and the eyes of the generals looked at him from time to time, with envy and hatred. Of course, there is more of a kind of disdain and indifference, especially those military attachés above the fourth rank who wear red official uniforms.

Li Xiao can understand their thoughts, a small six-grade hundred-household official, but because of fate, he will let the general soldier take a model, but what qualifications do he have to put on a big score in front of us.

Li Xiao didn't have time to think about it, and after entering the side room, he quickly changed into his official uniform.

Facing a bronze mirror, Li Xiao, who had a calm face, carefully examined himself.

In the bronze mirror, Li Xiao has changed into a hundred household official clothes made of cyan lake silk, he wears a silver silk hair crown, a fine copper waist medal on the belt around his waist, and the front chest and back of the official uniform of the hundred households are embroidered with flying patterns, and he is wearing cowhide thick-soled official boots under his feet. People rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, Li Xiao put on this official uniform, and in the midst of the handsomeness, he added a bit of elegance and elegance.

Li Xiao sighed inexplicably in his heart for a while.

I want to come from the time I have crossed so far, but more than a month, but I have been from a rural hunter in Jinzhou, step by step with my own efforts, and finally made the status of a hundred household officials today, although I am still a small military attache who does not enter the stream, but the hardships and twists and turns along the way, only I know the taste.

Of course, after wearing this official uniform, Li Xiao understood in his heart that this was by no means the end of his own struggle, but a new starting point.

After Li Xiao changed into his official uniform, he entered the hall of Yanwu with a few leading sergeants.

At this time, a feast has been set up in the hall, a large long table is full of delicacies, delicacies are all over, the rich aroma is permeating everywhere, and many pawns who pass dishes are busy shuttling back and forth.

Zu Dashou sat on the top of the long table, and his generals sat on both sides according to their official positions.

Seeing Li Xiao coming, Zu Dashou specially beckoned Li Xiao to sit beside him to show his favor, which made the eyes of the generals look at Li Xiao more and more complicated.

Li Xiao noticed that among the generals who were seated, there were Zu Dale and Zu Zeyan father and son.

As Zu Dashou's relatives, they sat quite close to Zu Dashou.

Zu Dale, the deputy chief soldier who was wearing a second-grade crimson regular uniform, and Zu Zeyan, the general manager of Qian, who was wearing a fifth-grade blue regular uniform, both sat opposite Li Xiao's side, and when they inadvertently made eye contact with Li Xiao, both of them had gloomy faces and were silent.

Li Xiao originally wanted to ask them about Zu Wan'er's current situation, but seeing that the two of them were not kind and indifferent, he also pretended to turn a blind eye.

The banquet was held in a dull atmosphere, although Zu Dashou frequently advised him to drink, Li Xiao could see that although everyone was pretending to be enthusiastic on the surface, they were all just polite.

However, the general Zu Dabi, who was wearing the regular clothes from the third grade, had no official appearance at all, but the placket of his shirt was unbuttoned because of the heat, revealing his black and fluffy chest hair. He didn't sit in his own position, but he held a huge wine urn in one hand and a huge copper cup in the other, walked around to Li Xiao's seat, and Li Xiao and the two of them fought with each other for wine, and drank so happily.

"Li Xiao, remember my agreement with you, when I am empty, I will definitely learn martial arts with you, but I can't push it back."

Zu Dabi's face was red from drinking, and his tongue was a little uncomfortable.

"The general's appointment, Li Xiao will never dare to forget." Li Xiao, who was also drunk and blushing, replied with laughter.

A heavy punch slammed into Li Xiao's shoulder, and a rough voice exploded in Li Xiao's ears: "Li Xiao who entered the dog!" I just like your coolness, come, you guy and I have done this bowl again. ”

Seeing such unrestrained intimacy between Zu Dabi and Li Xiao, Zu Dashou laughed, and the military attaches who were watching also laughed together, and the atmosphere of the whole banquet was much more lively.

The banquet was dispersed until the night, and the generals returned to the camp, and Li Xiao took the official uniforms of Chen Monkey and Wang Yishou, as well as the silver coins and silk rewarded by the three, and returned to the Zhongtun House in Guangning.

Zu Dale and Zu Zeyan, under the guidance of two servants who carried lanterns to light the way, also walked slowly towards their mansion.

"Father, the child originally thought that he would say goodbye that day, and this Li Xiao should have wandered away after receiving the honorarium. Unexpectedly, this person went to Guangning Zhongtun to join the army. ”

"Alas, when this man rejected the old man's letter of recommendation, I thought to myself that this man must have extraordinary ambitions. But he never thought that this person would have such bravery, only led three horses, and he beheaded 6 Tartars and returned, such a feat, but the old man was quite impressed. ”

"Father, in your opinion, will this Li Xiao be promoted again in the future?"

"Well, from the old man's point of view, Li Xiao, the only person who can be feared, is only the force of this body. This time the capture of the Tartar is also quite a thrilling fluke. If he wants to go further, he has no connections and no relationship, and I am afraid it will be difficult. ”

"Alas, poor Wanmei is still thinking about this person day and night, and she doesn't think about tea and dinner, but she has lost a lot of weight in the past month, and I, who is my brother, am so worried."

Wan'er is infatuated with this person, but as a father, she can't regard her life's events as child's play! In my opinion, Li Xiao, after many years, may be able to become an official general again and be promoted to a thousand households, which will be the end. How can such an ordinary military general be worthy of the daughter of my ancestral family's generational generals. ”

The voices of the two of them lowered, and gradually they walked away.

The bright moonlight rose, and the silver-gray moonlight sprinkled all over the earth, stretching the shadows of the father and son who were whispering for a long time.
