After crossing the river, it is Yi County.

Seeing that he was close to the county seat and walked on the official road, Li Hu waved his hand and asked the knight to go to the county seat to sue Sù Xiong Meng, and the grandmother at home said that she wanted to see her, and asked her to clean up, clean up, and return to Dongxia together when she went to Yang Village and turned around. Further on, in front of us is Liu Laozhuang, the place where a big battle was fought not long ago, and now Tian Guo has taken over and is in charge of dozens of stubborn Tian soldiers. Tuli Niu and Tian Guo have already led the people to wait outside Liu Laozhuang.

At present, Yi County has no county soldiers of Shi Jingsun. Although he can be stationed in this Yi County, and the headquarters is also extremely reluctant to withdraw, but for him, how to get Li Hu's support and get the power given by Dongxia is more important, and Tian Qimin in the Northern Plain will be cut off by Li Hu, which will also make him safer, so although he has no name to give Yi County to Li Hu, he acquiesces to Jincheng Potian's control of the county seat and Liu Laozhuang by this army.

Shi Jingsun's initiative to give in made Tuli Niu and Tian Guo have a strange feeling.

In any case, Shi Jingsun is still the official of Jingkang State, Yi County is still the land of Jingkang, if Shi Jingsun shows his power a little, he can still take back Yi County, and Tuli Niu and Tian Guo know that Li Hu did not intend to occupy it at the beginning. But Shi Jingsun didn't want to, he took the initiative to retreat, and Li Hu would not think about returning it to him, holding the few passages in the Northern Plain at present, which is quite meaningful for the Northern Plain and for Eastern Xia. Not to mention that if he Shi Jingsun abandons his allies, betrays his treachery, and crosses the river to beat him, it will be easy.

Li Hu arrived and saw Tuli Niu and Tian Guo. The two talked about the recent changes in the county, emphasized Shi Jingsun's weak behavior, and said to Li Hu with a smile: "Not only does he dare not ask for Yi County, but he doesn't even dare to recommend the county order, I think he is waiting for our side to elect officials." Are we not going to choose this official? ”

Li Hu asked: "Have you reported to the chief envoy's yamen?" ”

Tu Li Niu nodded, and told Li Hu: "It has been approved, and we are looking for a candidate." ”

Li Hu took the horse and walked with him all the way through Liu Laozhuang, pondering again and again on the way, and said softly: "The choice is to choose." Reflect my intentions truthfully to the yamen. Choose but not choose our summer people. Elect a state taxi. First, let Shi Jingsun know that although we have controlled Yi County, we have no idea of taking it for ourselves; Second, he can still regard Yi County as his own territory; Third, let him give an explanation to the imperial court. Fourth, this is the key to whether we can get closer to the state sergeant. ”

Tu Li Niu said excitedly: "Li Hu." You have four reasons for opening your mouth, I think you are becoming more and more like a king, I will let Lao Tian do the same thing you tell me, you take me back. Nursing home care is what I'm good at. ”

Li Hu smiled.

He didn't plan to leave the Tuli cattle in Yi County, so he said, "Okay." The family asked me to go back to Yuyang, you take someone to Yang Village with me to celebrate his birthday, and we will leave after going to Yang Village. ”

Leaving Liu Laozhuang and then on the road, although he didn't let Tian Guo follow, let him turn around and train the soldiers, but the team behind him still had more than a dozen horses.

These are all elite soldiers, even if they don't have strict armor, they are still imposing when they gallop.

Because he stopped at Liu Laozhuang and accepted the explanations of his subordinates on the local situation, it was a little late to rush to Yangcun, and he arrived close to noon.

Yang Village is lively.

In order to take care of relatives who arrived far away, the countryside set up a banquet, and all took the luncheon as the main banquet, and when it was close to noon, the dozen or so pots that were opened were steamed out of white smoke, and even so, the guests could not arrange to sit at one time, and they had to be divided into two times. There were too many people, and Heiser and her brother were called to help.

They were arranged to go to the entrance of the village to help Yang Ti write the gift list, seeing that noon was approaching, the hanging wrist was sore to write, this first seat was about to open, and there would not be more people who should arrive, and a special guest was ushered in. When the word "Xiong Junze" was written on the gift list, the two did not realize the identity of the guest at all, but had a good impression because of the Dongxia costume of the female master and servant, and chatted together with great interest for a while.

It wasn't until a descendant of Yang Village who had seen this master and servant followed Yang out to pick up the guests that the identity of this girl was revealed. Before the arrival of the girl today, she tied a small braid, wrapped with a net thread woven by Dongzhu and agate beads, not only did not have vulgar jewelry, but also had some exotic style, she wore a Yongbu deep-waisted white robe, a turquoise belt at the waist, a ring-shaped jade pendant, pointed boots stepped on not fast or slow, spoke in a gentle and orderly manner, followed by the bear furry on her side, wearing a rhubarb open-sleeved shirt, two plackets tied, the placket gown, a tight-fitting embroidered garment. With them, there were also a few Dongxia people, walking behind them, like stars and moons.

Xiong Rong wears underwear that is a high style, Dongxia here has more braided gowns, also called horse coats, Gao Xian's clothes, imitation of fish skin clothes, but more close-fitting, probably afraid that people will say that the clothes are strange, she covered the Yong's cardigan robe.

Xiong Meng is completely dressed in the clothes of Gao Xianyong, which is prevalent in Eastern Xia.

Yang Tu reacted, and originally flicked his sleeves, and whispered to the same village: "She didn't come to make trouble, find Yanyan and say, quickly call the master to beat them away." ”

However, Yang Ti strode up the meteor, and when he came to the front, his momentum weakened, because he couldn't stand the other party's composure and arrogance, he twisted his head to the side and didn't look at it, and said loudly: "What are you doing here?" Did you take advantage of my aunt's birthday to rob Li Hu with Yanyan? Ugly words ahead, if you dare to mess around, we are not welcome. ”

A few moments, however, he let the master and servant and the men who had come with them in.

What the two said when they approached, others couldn't hear clearly, but after she left, they could see Yang Tui stomping on the ground, and there were words in his mouth: "It's all caused by this Li Hu." Also, he always has to explain to someone. ”

The first seat was opened.

In addition to the neighbors, the people in the second seat could not have stepped on the time, in fact, they were all in the village...... Aunt Yang sat in her middle hall, accepting the birthday greetings of some relatives and juniors, coming in one, going out, coming in one, going out one, this was a time to coax the old man to be happy, but there were too many people to come, and the people in the village set the number, hoping not only to let people pay homage to the time to drag on, so that Aunt Yang had a birthday to be tired.

However, Xiong Meng stepped in, and for some reason, Yang Yanyan, who was standing beside Aunt Yang, "chuckled" in her heart.

Perhaps, she thought about it just right.

Perhaps, this outfit made it easy for her to guess something.

Aunt Yang already knew her identity, Yang told her that Xiong Meng wanted to worship her is one, and she also took the initiative to say that she would shout. At this moment, Xiong Meng was also apprehensive, she should come to the door to visit the elders, and resolve the unhappiness, but she had seen the rudeness and rudeness of the country woman in her hometown, and she was not sure to explain the relationship between her and Li Hu, and she and Yang Yanyan did not have any deep hatred......

Aunt Yang was stunned after a glance.

She sighed, "This girl is so beautiful. It is a serious match with Li Hu. ”

Yang Yanyan was cold, turned around and wanted to run away, but she grabbed her and pulled her back, but she was trembling all over.

Who would have thought that so many people in his village believed in Li Hu, he was married, and he didn't tell anyone, so that his fiancée came to the door openly?

It was an awkward moment.

Xiong Meng said, "Auntie." Although Li Hu and I grew up together, it was a marriage made by both parents. Li Hu has lived in your house for many days, and you must have understood that Li Hu is the dragon of the world, and any woman who is extraordinary can be a good match lightly. I know there is a misunderstanding here, but I don't know if I can explain to the eldest lady with a clumsy tongue and to Miss Yanyan that on the eldest mother's birthday, I will give you the old kowtow first. ”

With that, she knelt on the futon in front of her.

Yang Linggang was accompanying the guests inside, and after listening to what people said, he didn't worry about his mother and sister-in-law, so he left the table, but he didn't know why a girl's family was so bold.

Her own family will not do anything to her, but what about another family?

This village, this place, is a muddy dragon pond at this time. The two daughters took the marriage, even if Li Hu was only blamed in the middle, but how could the women among them be peaceful, they came to the door to send them to the door, and the countrymen went up to punch and kick, shouting "little wave hooves" and "little sluts", maybe scratching their faces, pulling their hair, pulling their clothes, trying to make each other ugly.

At least he was humiliated, and at worst, he was stripped naked and displayed to the public, and he was worried about his life.

How could this woman be so bold and dare to touch it?

Yang Linggang walked quickly, passing by Xiong Fu, seeing her coming and going anxiously, he suspected that it was her, but passing by, looking at her, until he walked over, he still didn't break it, and he was not embarrassed to ask.

When he arrived at the main hall, Yang was outside and said, "Brother." I talked with my aunt and Yanyan for a long time, you see that you are still waiting for your birthday outside, and I don't know what they are talking about. I didn't see my aunt and she bombarded people out. ”

Yang Linggang smiled: "Why do you want to bomb people? always have to tell the ins and outs, I still don't believe that Li Hu is a person who conceals marriage, maybe there are any twists and turns, it's a good thing to listen to her. A man's three wives and four concubines are not necessarily nothing, your brother Ling is still raising a child from outside, who said nothing? You kid won't be unaware. ”

Yang Tu turned his back and said, "Brother." That Li Hu was rescued by my aunt, he has three wives and four concubines, he is ungrateful. ”

Yang Linggang sighed: "Yes." can make Yanyan miserable. ”

He patted Yang Tiao, and walked in himself, originally to remind his mother, you can't talk endlessly, but when he walked in, he was still stunned for a moment, Aunt Yang was holding Yang Yanyan with her left hand, Xiong Meng with her right hand, sitting and talking on the bed, one leg was still casually crossed. Before Yang Linggang could speak, Aunt Yang said, "Ling Gang." You also listen to what your sister said, she said that after she married Li Hu, her father took her back to the Central Plains, Li Hu thought that the two families were not counted, so he didn't tell our family, what do you say? This is also a good girl, is it possible to marry him Li Hu? Anyway, Li Hu is also a lying basket, if his parents are really gone, you asked your uncle the day before yesterday, not only did you say that you haven't seen him in recent years, but today this girl also said the same, Li Hu has something unspeakable, and he will tell us one day. ”

Yang Linggang smiled: "Mother." You still wait to see Li Hu and ask him, I also believe that he didn't deliberately deceive anyone. Don't talk about it, the juniors outside are waiting to come in and pay their respects, let Yanyan take her to the table. ”

Aunt Yang suddenly woke up: "Yes." Girl. Hurry up and find a table with Yanyan to eat wine and food. Forget about the people who were waiting to greet me outside. ”

Yang Yanyan wanted to take Xiong Meng out against her will, but Yang Yan jumped in and shouted, "Auntie." Li Hu is back. ”

Yang Linggang was also taken aback, and suddenly stepped out, the two of them went outside, and watched dozens of horses from a distance, on the road under the village, Li Hu and people were talking, and Liu Chang on the table also ran up to drink a bowl of wine with him. He felt that Yang Di had also come out, and said in a tone of self-talk: "These people are clearly Xia soldiers who are not wearing armor, all of them are fierce dragons and tigers, Li Hu has begun to bring Xia soldiers to our village with great fanfare, and he is not afraid of the government?" ”

He stood outside and watched, but Yang Di ran forward.

It's not just a mouth that says Li Hu, but Yang Di doesn't have the idea of cutting off his robe with Li Hu, and this run is running fast.

Aunt Yang said that she would also come out, but Xiong Meng persuaded her, saying that she was an elder and wanted to ask Li Hu about it, so she shouldn't go out. Aunt Yang didn't go out. just instigated Yang Yanyan to go, but Yang Yanyan didn't go. The servants were waiting in the hall. They heard the sound of Yang Linggang and Li Hu talking, and they heard footsteps until a figure was fully reflected in the door frame.

Turi Niu and the two of them guarded the door.

Yang Linggang also felt that this was too much, and he had met Tuli Niu, so he had to be polite and let him eat the noodles.

However, the three of them were unmoved, the two stood at the door, guarding the left and right, and Tuli Niu did not leave an inch, following Li Hu left and right, Yang Linggang had no choice but to follow in.

As soon as Li Hu entered, he was stunned.

He also sent troops to inform Xiong Mengmeng that he was leaving, but he didn't expect Xiong Mengmeng to come to congratulate the old man on his birthday, and it was not strange that the birthday was not strange, the strange thing was that the servants were sitting together, Xiong Mengmeng was smiling, but Aunt Yang was frowning, and Yang Yanyan was clearly spitting fire in her eyes.

Li Hu walked up two steps quickly, knelt down in front of the futon and bowed to his birthday.

The cattle also lay on the ground with a shelf.

Li Hu said a congratulatory speech and asked Tuli Niu to call someone to present a birthday gift, and as soon as Tuli Niu stood up, Yang Linggang questioned: "Didn't you ask our uncle to send the birthday gift?" ”

Li Hu knelt there straight.

Tuli Niu, who got up, was stunned and said, "Has the birthday gift been given?" ”

Li Hu said: "I didn't ask someone to give a birthday gift. I don't know what's going on. Brother Turi, you call Li Mandarin Duck to come, and if you ask him, you may know who it is. ”

At the moment when Tuli Niu walked out, Li Hu tidied up his clothes, bowed down again, and said: "All along, thanks to my aunt for not giving up, picking me back from the snow, offering food and drink, treating me like a family, Ah Hu's gratitude is indescribable. ”

Yang Yanyan cried and asked him: "You are really grateful for hiding your marriage?" ”

Li Hu bowed down again and whispered, "Auntie." I know a lot of things, I can't hide them if I want to, many things have been flawed, and I don't dare to tell the truth at this moment. My name Li Hu is also my real name, Li is my mother's surname, and I also have a name called Di Zonghu. ”

Aunt Yang and Yang Yanyan didn't react, they were still in a daze, Xiong Mengmeng jumped down from the Hu bed, and asked in disbelief: "Did you say it all?" ”

Li Hu said: "The eldest husband should not change his name or change his surname, he is all over the world, but he has no choice but to ask for forgiveness from the eldest mother, Yan Yan, and Brother Ling Gang." ”

Yang Linggang was not his mother and sister-in-law, and asked him in surprise: "Di Zonghu." Are you from the Eastern Xia royal family? ”

Li Hu said frankly: "That's right. King Xia is my father. It was only because of the battle in the Northern Plains that I made the mistake of taking the plunge, and my father exiled me to Bizhou, and I was with the people who migrated to Bishu from my state, but because of my special status, I had to go incognito. In fact, it has long been full of flaws, but Auntie, Yanyan, you are all kind people, you believe in me too much, and you don't ask to the end. ”

Aunt Yang muttered: "I have long felt that you are not a child of an ordinary family. ”

Li Hu admitted: "My parents are naturally here, and the impostor's origin is fake, every time I see my aunt treating me like this, the words are on my lips, I want to sue you, but I am afraid of trouble." ”

He also said: "Mandarin duck is the person sent by my family to protect me, Fang Hai who died in battle, and Uncle Duocai. Not intentionally concealed. Mengmeng is a family affair set by my father for me, just because his father rebelled to Jingkang, I thought that no one would recognize this marriage, and when my aunt wanted to marry Yanyan to me, I didn't say it. ”

Xiong Mengmeng sighed.

His friendship with him Li Hu, he Li Hu said "I thought", how can it make people feel good?

Yang Linggang had doubts again: "You are the prince of Eastern Xia, and the king of Xia is too ruthless." If it weren't for my mother, you might have fallen on the snow, not to mention that you could endure the hardships of the countryside? If he did exile you, why did he send so many men? ”

Li Hu smiled bitterly and said: "Although my father is a loving father, he is unimaginably strict with my brothers and sisters. My eldest brother was also sent to Changyue as a hostage at a young age. In the first battle of the Northern Plains, my Xia people were full of corpses and bones, and my father exiled me, which was also an explanation to the countrymen, so that I could reflect on my own behavior and know my mistakes. ”

Li Hu said: "Brother Ling Gang suspects me of lying again? ”

Li Hu said again: "That's right. Father just wants me to understand some truths, does he really want me to do it? Although I have an unshirkable responsibility for the defeat in the Northern Plains, and I have to take responsibility, but when the man is alive, can't he learn a lesson, and get up from where he fails? ”

He said: "Compared with my soldiers who are full of bones, what is the hardship I have endured? ”

He burst into tears.

Li Yuanyang and Tuli Niu came in, and they burst into tears in an instant.

Li Yuanyang choked uncontrollably and said, "The owner." It's your fault that the battle. ”

Li Hu still has to continue to dispel people's doubts: "My father started from the end of the millennium, although he overcame all obstacles and conquered the Eastern Xia outside the territory with his uncles, and was called a foreign country by the people in the country, but he was undoubtedly a Yongren. My father often taught me that horses in the world can be different, clothes in the world can be different, races in the world can be different, but good people are the same, and people's hearts are red. There is no difference between my Dongxia people and Jingkang people, and I hope that my aunt will not turn me away from now on because of my Xia identity and the special identity given to me by my father. ”

Although Li Yuanyang was standing in front of him, everyone had forgotten to ask him who the uncle who came a few days ago was.

Aunt Yang pushed Yang Yanyan and asked her to help Li Hu, but she was dizzy and was supported by Xiong Mengmeng, so she insisted on helping Xiong Mengmeng to stand up and said, "Auntie is not dreaming, right?" ”

Yang Linggang sighed: "Li Hu." I'll still call you Li Hu, I can't change my mouth. No wonder in just a few years, Dongxia has been extremely powerful. Your father and son are truly amazing people. ”
