When Li Xiao returned to the Zhongtun Sentinel Cavalry, it was almost midnight, and the general Gao Pu had reopened the banquet, and the large table made of small tables was filled with pots of hot freshly roasted beef and mutton, jars of mellow and fragrant Jinzhou Erdaogou time-honored rice wine, and all kinds of famous side dishes from the restaurant in Jinzhou City. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

A group of brothers from the Sentinel Cavalry sat around the table, looking at Li Xiao who stumbled in from outside, and everyone had smiles on their faces.

Fang Cai and Zu Dabi had a wine fight, and Li Xiao was already a little dizzy when he was drunk, and he wanted to shirk Gao Pu's banquet, but he was pulled into the table by Gao Puqiang.

Looking at the enthusiastic smiles of the sentry brothers, Li Xiao's heart was hot, and he drank with everyone.

Li Xiao, who was hazy with wine, saw that Tian Wei and Mo Changrong, who were ashamed, also came over to toast him.

Li Xiao raised the wine and drank it all, Tian Wei and Mo Changrong saw Li Xiao so open-minded, their faces were immediately full of excitement, the two of them were happy and ashamed, and hurriedly drank the wine in the cup with their necks up.

When the wine was full, everyone laughed more and more, and indulged in drinking. Fighting wine, guessing boxing, wrestling wrists, telling jokes, boasting about their own romantic affairs, etc., make the atmosphere of the banquet more and more jubilant.

It was night, and Li Xiao was drunk.

On this quiet moonlit night, only one person in the entire sentry cavalry stayed awake all night.

This person is Huaji.

Lying on the bed, he tossed and turned, and his heart was like an ant gnawing at it, which made him irritable.

Hua Ji didn't expect that this Li Xiao would have such ability, and after returning from the 6th level Tartar, he has now been promoted to a hundred households, and he is firmly pressed on his own small flag.

Judging from the situation of tonight's banquet, this Li Xiao has become a star-like figure in the sentry cavalry, and the eyes of those recruits look at him as if they are looking at a hero who stands up to the sky.

The most hateful thing is Tian Wei and Mo Changrong, they repeatedly toasted Li Xiao at the banquet, as if they had become brothers with Li Xiao. Hua Ji saw clearly, and the two of them looked at him now, obviously much more indifferent. Although he looked like nothing was happening on the surface at that time, his heart was like a knife.

Could it be that I, Huaji, have become a lonely family who has rebelled against my relatives?

Hua Ji slammed the edge of the bed hard, and the soft moonlight from the window added a layer of twisted hideousness to his handsome face.

Li Xiao, this matter will not pass so easily. This position of the deputy team, I, Huaji, will one day, personally take it back!

。。。。。。

Three days after Li Xiao was promoted to one hundred households, in the evening of that day, Li Xiao, who had finished training as a sergeant, was about to return to his room to rest, when he heard a familiar voice shouting behind him: "Li Xiao, the garrison has come to congratulate you." ”

Li Xiao was shocked, and hurriedly turned back, but the garrison Wang Daoqi of the Zhongtun Station in Guangning, accompanied by Ren Guangyuan, the captain of the Jiading, walked towards him with a smile.

"Humble Li Xiao, I've seen the garrison." Li Xiao half-knelt and saluted.

"Excuse me, excuse me, during this time, the official went to Ningyuan, and he couldn't catch up with Li Baihu's promotion, which is quite a pity. I'm here to congratulate you today. Wang Daoqi smiled and helped Li Xiaoxu up. Immediately, Wang Daoqi motioned to Ren Guangyuan to give a small box wrapped in red silk in his hand to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao took it and rubbed it with his hand, feeling a little heavy.

"Li Baihu, here is 20 taels of gold, congratulations on your promotion for this official." Wang Daoqi said with a smile, his eyes narrowed into a thin slit.

Li Xiao was shocked, this Wang Dodge was quite generous, and he was willing to give such a heavy gift to himself, but he didn't know what his intentions were.

"Lord Garrison is so favored, how can Li Xiao dare to accept this great gift."

"Hey, I can stand it, Li Baihu is young and promising, and he has made a name for me Guangning Zhongtun, and I am also honored to be a garrison." Wang Daoqi smiled to stop Li Xiao's push.

Wang Daoqi's fat round face and the fake smile made Li Xiao's heart uncomfortable for a while, but he still said to Wang Daoqi calmly: "Such a trivial matter as the villain's promotion to 100 households makes the garrison adults remember it like this, how can Li Xiao be restrained." The lord is kind but respectful, and then I will thank the garrison lord. Two adults, please come into the room and speak. ”

Li Xiao led the two into the house, and as soon as Wang Daoqi entered the room, he began to sigh after looking at it: "Li Xiao, this place is a little shabby." You are now a hundred household officials of the sixth grade, but you are wronged to live in such a room. ”

Li Xiaoyan invited the two of them to take a seat, and said with a smile: "I train the sentry rider every day, this room is just a weekday rest place, and with such conditions, it is okay." ”

Wang Daoqi's eyes narrowed, and he smiled faintly: "Li Xiao, you have such a martial arts talent, but it is a pity to be a deputy in this sentry cavalry." ”

Li Xiao felt something was wrong in his heart, he sighed, brought tea to the two of them, and then replied: "I am still satisfied with my stay in this sentry cavalry, but I don't know why the garrison lord said this?" ”

The smile on Wang Daoqi's face was unpredictable, he took a sip of tea, and continued: "Could it be that Li Baihu really plans to be a deputy in this sentry cavalry team?" ”

"The garrison means 。。。。。。"

"Li Xiao, with all due respect, although you have been promoted to one hundred households, in this sentry cavalry, this official position, and this future can be regarded as the end."

Wang Daoqi said this softly, and took another sip of the teacup.

He then raised his head and looked at Li Xiao, expecting to see his stunned expression, but he didn't expect Li Xiao to look unfazed.

Seeing that Li Xiao fell silent, Wang Daoqi hurriedly said: "Li Xiao, you have been a sentry this time, and you have won the head of the 6th level of Tartar, although it is a great achievement, but in the eyes of this official, it is really a fluke. To put it mildly, if there were many Tartar riders that day, I am afraid that Li Baihu would have fallen into the hands of the Tartars now. Now you have risen to the rank of 100 households, but if you want to go further, the current Sentinel Cavalry is not enough to rely on. Do you know that although the Sentinels can barely provide monthly salaries, there is a shortage of soldiers, and there is a shortage of armor, weapons, horses and other military supplies. The official was thinking, these situations were also very clear in Li Baihu's heart. ”

After Wang Daoqi finished speaking, he and Ren Guangyuan, the captain of the family on the side, glanced at each other proudly.

Li Xiao understood in his heart why Wang Daoqi came to see him, Dao He was fake, and it was true that he was poached from the Sentinel Cavalry.

"Then according to the guard, what should Li do?"

Li Xiao smiled lightly ****, looking like he was asking for advice.

Wang Daoqi's face was happy, he thought that Li Xiao was moved, and tried to suppress the excitement in his heart and said: "Li Xiao, do you still remember that when I first saw you last time, I told you to let you come to be the vice captain of my family's Ding team." As long as you are willing to come, the position of deputy captain of this official Ding is none other than you. ”

"The garrison is so fond of it." Li Xiao smiled faintly.

Wang Daoqi waved his hand and said in a loud voice: "This official is really passionate about love, so I hope you can come to help me." As long as you come, this officer can let you and the captain Ren Guangyuan, each lead a team of 30 people, each of whom has a monthly salary of 5 taels, which is also twice that of the sentry cavalry, and the supply of horses, weapons and armor is abundant. In this way, Li Xiao, the space for you to display your martial arts talent is much broader. ”

Hearing Wang Daoqi speak like this, Li Xiao's heart began to hesitate more and more.

Li Xiao knew that now in the Ming army, the sentinel cavalry is an ordinary elite, and the family is the magic weapon in the Ming army. Generally speaking, a garrison may have more than 30 family members, a guerrilla may have 50 family members, the staff will have one or two hundred people, and the adjutant general and the general army may support family members, ranging from 1,000 to several thousand. The most famous example is that Li Chengliang raised an elite 8,000 family members back then, which was his ultimate trump card to dominate Liaodong back then.

Li Xiao thought to himself, this Wang Daoqi is just a small garrison, generally speaking, more than thirty is enough, but Wang Daoqi has to recruit sixty family members, and the number of people has almost doubled, so this person's ambition is not small.

There is one reason, Li Xiao can be sure, that is, Wang Daoqi did this, and the main purpose was to crack down on the sentry cavalry that excluded and divided Gao Pu, and dismantle the sentry cavalry internally. In this way, if Li Xiao can lead the Jiading team to make more great achievements in the future, Gao Pu's sentry cavalry will undoubtedly be firmly suppressed, and the final result will be that the sentry cavalry team will be eliminated and annexed by Wang Daoqi, or squeezed out of Guangning Zhongtun.

If that's all there is, Li Xiao thinks that although Wang Daoqi's methods are despicable, he still understands Wang Daoqi's thoughts, but from this person's smiling slitted eyes, Li Xiao feels that things seem to be more than that simple.

Could it be that this King Dodge is expanding the family team, but he wants to seek his own personal interests?

Li Xiao thought of this person's businessman background and the local wealthy family in Jinzhou, the more confused and uneasy he became, but he couldn't speak.

"Hehe, Li Baihu, this official will tell you straight now, as long as you listen to my arrangement in the future, this future official position, this official can guarantee that it is a hundred times stronger than you stay in the sentry cavalry." Seeing that Li Xiao was deep in thought, Wang Daoqi said with a smile on his face that became brighter and brighter.

Li Xiao smiled on his face, but he was thinking nervously in his heart.

This Wang Daoqi, it is estimated that the motive of wanting to use himself for personal gain is more obvious.

Li Xiao knew that now he had two paths to choose.

One way is to continue to stay in the Sentinel Cavalry, perhaps as Wang Daoqi said, in this environment of lack of soldiers and salaries, weapons and armor, it is likely that it will be difficult for him to fight for fame.

On the other hand, take refuge in Wang Daoqi, then his subordinates will be more elite family members, and they will have abundant food and well-equipped armor, which is a shortcut to the future of the official position. It's just that there is no free lunch in the world, if he makes such a choice, not to mention that he has completely failed to live up to his sincere simplicity, if he really wants to be under Wang Daoqi, he can only say what Wang Daoqi says, and he has to do something, then he will only become a hunting dog he raised。。。。。。

"How about it, Li Baihu, the conditions of this official are okay." Wang Daoqi took a sip of tea and looked at him with a smile, his eyes full of eagerness.
