Li Xiao believed in Liu Jun, and Liu Jun did not disappoint Li Xiao.

He only took Da Biao out of the village, originally planning not to bring one, but Da Biao didn't worry about him, so he had to carry two butcher knives to follow behind to protect.

The door of the village was only opened by a crack, and as soon as Li Xiao left the village, the door was immediately ordered to be closed by Lao Wang.

Liu Jun has been waiting a hundred steps outside the village.

"Brother Liu." Li Xiao tilted his head and bowed his hand to Liu Jun, who was riding on a horse. "I didn't expect Brother Liu to come to help immediately after receiving the letter, I am really grateful."

"That's it, huh?" Liu Jun half-bent down and looked at the closed door behind Li Xiao with a smile.

"Don't hide it from Brother Liu, today you are no longer the first soldier to be pulled. Half a day ago, a hundred cavalrymen came to my village in full armor and demanded that I hand over the corn seeds. At that time, the atmosphere was tense and tense, and it was almost like a shopping together. ”

Liu Jun smiled.

"If it was really a hundred iron horsemen, then there would never be a bloodbath, but a massacre."

Li Xiao nodded, "Yes, so I have to be cautious." The village was shocked three times overnight, so it was inevitable that it was a bit like a frightened bird, and the plants and trees became soldiers, and Brother Liu should not be blamed. ”

Liu Jun shook his head, he believed Li Xiao's words very much, especially when he saw the atmosphere in Zhuangzi now. "Actually, I have been so far away from your village wall because I believe in your previous letter, and I believe that there are really a hundred horsemen here. And I'm worried that you won't be able to make it to me, and that Zhuangzi has been broken. ”

"So you're standing a hundred paces away, is this to prevent you from being injured by a hidden arrow?" Li Xiao asked with a smile.

"I have to guard against it." Liu Jun laughed, "But I saw you come out, and there is no blood in the air here, so I believe that your Zhuangzi was neither slaughtered nor captured." Okay, let's go with me to meet our lieutenant first, dozens of miles away. ”

The atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Li Xiao first waved his hand to Zhuangzi, signaling that there was nothing to do, and then went with Liu Jun to see the captain.

"Tell me, who is so bold as to lead troops to rob things?"

"That person claimed to be Yu Chengji, and said that he was the prince of Jianping County, and the official was the captain."

Liu Jun frowned and thought about it, the county duke of Jianping is still a captain, but he really doesn't have this person in his impression, although the county duke is already a duke, but there are really not many lords of the Tang Dynasty, especially because Tang Cheng Sui, and Sui inherited the Northern Zhou, and the Northern Zhou inherited the Western Wei.

This led to a very special situation, that is, although the Western Wei Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, changed several dynasties, but the Guanlong aristocratic group has always basically existed, when the Yuwen family established the Northern Zhou Dynasty, as long as there was no opposition to the Western Wei nobles, they still retained the title.

When Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty, many nobles of the Northern Zhou Dynasty basically retained their titles to be continued to the Sui Dynasty.

Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty, and many nobles of the Sui Dynasty, as long as they were loyal to the Tang Dynasty, were also able to retain their titles, so many nobles and titles were even handed down from the Western Wei Dynasty and even the Northern Wei Dynasty.

It was such a special circumstance that led to the existence of a powerful Guanlong military aristocratic group.

Therefore, there are many people with titles in the Tang Dynasty now, even if it is a duke like a county duke, it is also a big deal, after all, many people's titles are passed down from generation to generation, and for the Li Tang Dynasty, recognizing them to inherit the title is also in exchange for the support of these old nobles for the new dynasty.

And the title of the Tang Dynasty is not more expensive than before, the knighthood has no actual fief, and even the food is divided into virtual and real feuds, only the heroes who have established meritorious services for the Tang Dynasty can get the real title, and most of the titles handed down from the previous dynasty are actually fictitious, and they just enjoy some honors.

Some of the top Guanlong nobles and wealthy families, with dozens or even hundreds of titles in one family, and hundreds of family members have honors, which can be described as quite amazing. The father is a national prince, and maybe seven or eight sons are all county princes and county dukes.

Liu Jun's father is Kui Guogong, he doesn't have a knighthood yet, also because he is still young, and his father doesn't have any great merits, if he is older and makes meritorious contributions, it is also very good to get a knighthood, or his father is a little awesome, and he can also be knighted.

What is this called Yu Chengji's Jianping County Gong, he really hasn't heard of it.

"That man is nearly fifty years old, very burly, bearded, looks a bit like a mixture of Hu and Han, and seems to have a bit of Turkic blood."

"Hu-Han mixed race, Turkic blood, fifty years old, burly, bearded, Yu Chengji, Jianping County Gong, Duwei ·······" All this information that Li Xiao told him was combined, and the screening goals became clearer and clearer.

Liu Jun suddenly thought of someone.

"Panyu Duwei Su Gan Chengji, this person seems to be the duke of the county, but his title is the duke of Pingjian County, and he is also an official in Guangzhou. But the description of your appearance is quite similar to this person, but he should still be in Lingnan, could it be that someone is impersonating his name? Liu Jun didn't expect that this Su Gan Chengji happened to be the first to go to Beijing this year.

"I guess it's a fake, I believe no idiot would be so stupid to grab something and sign up." Li Xiao thought about it.

The lieutenant of Lanxi Zhechong Mansion is an old soldier, a native of Shandong, a native of Qizhou who is the late famous general Qin Qiong, and he used to be and did follow Qin Qiong to fight, fighting dozens of battles large and small, and his injuries were exchanged for the military position of a five-grade captain.

For example, today is quite peaceful, the old captain is old, and there are many injuries, and he is always uncomfortable every time the sky changes, and the years have smoothed out his ambition, and the pain has also made him lose his ambition.

Now the old captain's greatest wish is to continue to be a lieutenant for a few years, just don't go to the battlefield again, he has long passed the age of winning fame and seeking knighthood, he didn't get a knight when he was young, and he doesn't want to be old anymore.

Li Xiao met him with Liu Jun and explained the situation.

The old lieutenant was relieved to hear that the gang had gone and had not returned.

It's okay, I wish it was okay. If it weren't for what Liu Jun said, he wouldn't even want to come.

"Du Wei and his brothers have worked hard all the way, please go to the village to rest."

Finally, a group of soldiers and horses came, how could Li Xiao let them go easily, not afraid of 10,000, just in case.

The old lieutenant wanted to go back to the camp, but with Liu Jun's help to speak, he agreed to go to Li Zhuang to rest first.

A total of 300 men and horses, 100 cavalry and 200 foot soldiers, hearing that the alarm was lifted, the soldiers suddenly felt much more relaxed.

At the gate of the village, Lao Wang observed again and again, and after carefully confirming that Li Xiao was not being held hostage, he ordered the door of the village to be opened.

"Prepare soup cakes for the brethren in Ochichong Mansion." Li Xiao arranged it.

Three hundred people poured into the village at once, and for a while the people were screaming and neighing, but it became more and more noisy, but it was no longer nervous before, but full of liveliness. Even many of the soldiers in Zhichong Mansion are the children of their hometowns, and many of the strong men who came to help in the village are still relatives and friends, and everyone greets each other and is happy.
