At dusk, the sky is gray, at this time, the lights in the huge Erxian Village have been lit up one after another, and the lanterns in front of the courtyard door and the corridor have also been lit up one after another. After a while, half of the bright moon also poked its head out of the night sky, sprinkling the manor with a mercury-like moonlight.

In the bright manor, with the arrival of night, the hustle and bustle becomes more and more lively.

At the beginning of the lanterns, the grand reception banquet in Erxian Village also began. It extends from the front hall of the main courtyard of Erxian Village and is placed under the corridors on both sides of the courtyard outside. Tonight's banquet is huge, there are many guests, there are more than 100 people in the front hall, the long flowing water table, connected by many long square tables, and the guests sit down on both sides. There are too many people, and only Lingyun, Laihu'er and other guests are arranged here, and the guards and entourage who came with them are all seated in the courtyard outside, and Gao Mingyue, Qinglian Mulan and the family members of the coming family are entertained by the female dependents of the single family in the west courtyard. Today's banquet, three receptions, the heroes of the green forest in Henan, the snakes in the idle land of the Xu officials in Baima County, the people from the Gao family, the green forest of Yanshan and the Jin Wangfu brought by Lingyun, and the people who came to Hu'er and his party, are really all over the world, black and white. Such a big dinner, fortunately, the single family has always been a big business, and it is the richest man in Huazhou, Zhuangzhong has many servants, and temporarily sent people to the county to invite the kitchen team of two restaurants to come to help, but it was also done well.

Jianghu men, what they like most is the hustle and bustle, eating meat in large chunks and drinking in large gulps. Therefore, the banquet is a flowing water seat, there is no sub-table like the aristocratic and wealthy banquet guests, the long table is put together, everyone sits together, a big bowl of fish and meat, a big bowl of good wine, is the best hospitality. But despite this, the heroes of the rivers and lakes have to arrange seats to judge the subordination. When it comes to the status of the rivers and lakes here, it is naturally Lingyun, Yi Saburo from Yanshan, who is the highest, and when it comes to the dignity of the official, he is the most respected by the governor of Jianzhou, he is a high-ranking official from the second grade, and the governor of a state.

"Please take a seat!" Shan Xiongxin, as the master of this room, invited Hu'er to sit in chief.

Lai Hu'er almost understood at this time, this Yi Saburo seems to have a wide range of friends, and his friends are all rangers, but he doesn't care too much. After all, he was just passing by, and he only came to see Yi Feng's face. At the moment, he nodded politely and said: "The old man will rely on the old man and sell the old, and he will sit on the throne." ”

invited Hu'er to take a seat, and Shan Xiongxin invited Lingyun to take a seat. Naturally, no one objected to this ranking, and Ling Yun did not shirk it, nodding his head and sitting side by side with Lai Hu'er. The two chairmen are arranged, and the following are naturally the master Shan Xiongxin, the local snakes of the white horse, Zhai Rang and Huang Junhan, and then Wang Bao, Pei Li and the three elders of the Gao family who are accompanied by Ling Yun. This kind of ranking is also a bit exquisite, can sit in front, are all people with heads and faces, in general or Yanshan green forest, Henan green forest sit together, Jin Wangfu and come to sit together, Gao family from Hebei to sit side, Baima County and a single row together, by the front of these people, are the leaders of these families.

As for Gao Mingyue, although she is a child of the rivers and lakes, she is a woman after all, and she is unmarried. At this time, Shan Xiongxin arranged for his wife Cui Shi and his sister Yingying to accompany him, and opened a few tables in the West Courtyard, and invited Gao Mingyue and the female dependents who came to the house, as well as the female dependents of several other guests.

The most lively thing is the banquet in the front hall, on the surface, it is Laihu'er who sits as the chief, but in fact, everyone's eyes are mainly on Ling Yun. Shan Xiongxin had already talked with Ling Yun for a while before the banquet, and knew about Ling Yun's experience of going south this time, and also knew that Murong had married Ling Yun and would stay in Jiangnan for the time being, and this Third Brother Yi would temporarily take the position of the leader of the Northern Yanshan Tiger Alliance. Ling Yun even told Gao Mingyue's identity and his relationship with Yang Guang. Shan Xiongxin often travels north and south, and he also knows a thing or two about the Gao family of Northern Qi entrenched in Liaodong, but he didn't think that Yi Feng actually married the daughter of the Gao family, and also married Murong, but these are not as powerful as knowing that he is Yang Guang's illegitimate son. He and Ling Yun were also friends who knew each other as teenagers, and never thought that he would be a member of the royal family. Even if it was an illegitimate child, it was much beyond his expectations.

Shan Xiongxin's heart is complicated, his friends and brothers on the green forest road have become royal people in the blink of an eye. In the future, can you still be good brothers?

In everyone's eyes, there are still a few eyes that have been paying attention to Ling Yun.

"This Yi Saburo is really as rumored, a heroic young man, heroic, light on wealth and righteousness, free and chic." Sun Anzu, a guest from Hebei of the single family, whispered to his companion Dou Jiande next to him.

Dou Jiande nodded, "Yi Saburo is a real hero, and it is rumored to meet more prosperously." ”

Dou Jiande is a guest of Shan Xiongxin, he is originally from Beizhou, Hebei, and his family is also a small and powerful landlord in Hebei, with a lot of land and wealth. has a good reputation in the local area, Dou Jiande is also a person who likes to make friends, good at riding and archery martial arts, and there are many Zhuang Ding tenants in the family, and he has a good life. On weekdays, I don't have to take care of family affairs, but I only make some money together with some friends every year, and organize a caravan to go out of the Saiwai to buy and sell some silk, porcelain, tea and so on from the Central Plains, and then sell back to the Central Plains from the grassland, such as good horses, ploughing cattle, leather goods and herbs, etc., and go back to the Central Plains once a year, but the profits are huge and amazing. The biggest trouble with this kind of business is that the road is long, and you often encounter bandits. Dou Jiande has a wide range of friends, and when he walks on the road, he often only needs to report the name of a certain friend to pass the customs, but he can avoid it by giving some gifts of tea and wine. Even if he encounters some unsightly, Dou Jiande himself is not a vegetarian, and he and his friends in general are all high and bold, and they can almost be leveled. In this way, the business has been doing very well. He often took out some money to help the neighbors in the township, and if there were friends on the road, he would always help when he was in trouble, so whether it was on the road or in the township, Dou Jiande had an excellent reputation.

It's just that some things don't always go smoothly.

Just last year, Dou Jiande returned from a trip, but he met a greedy county official and sent someone to his house to borrow 10,000 yuan. How can Dou Jiande borrow such money, it is obvious that there is no repayment of the loan. He refused, and then gave the county magistrate a gift worth a hundred yuan, plus two good horses that he had brought back. Who knew that the county official was greedy to death, not only did he not appreciate it, but he became angry and angry, and implied that he would bury two starving beggars in his family's farm, and then take people to dig them up, accusing Dou Jiande of murdering people for money, killing people and burying his body, and issuing an order to arrest him. Dou Jiande couldn't take precautions for a while, so he hurriedly left the Bei family with his family members first, preparing to find a relationship to deal with the county official. Unexpectedly, I found a few connections, but found that this county official was so greedy and arrogant, because of this, he was a concubine brother of a certain Shangzhu State in the Jingshi Dynasty. Although Dou Jiande also has a lot of friends, the people don't fight with officials, these friends on the road in ordinary times, as well as some official friends in Beizhou, how can they confront a county official who has a background in Shangzhuguo.

In the end, Dou Jiande suffered a big loss, and finally spent a lot of money to drag people to talk about the item, so he only withdrew the sea fishing documents and returned the Dou family's manor property, but the floating wealth in the family was gone. Dou Jiande was also asked by the county government not to return to his hometown, so he had to wander outside. Because of the past and the Shan family, I have met with Shan Xiongxin several times, and Shan Xiongxin is for the sake of righteousness, so this time I went to Erxianzhuang with a few Hebei friends, and Sun Anzu and Hao Xiaode, who also went to the outside of the plug together, and came here to cooperate with the Shan family to run the business outside the plug. After all, they have been running outside the route over the years, and if a single family joins forces, this business will only get bigger and bigger.

Dou Jiande used to run outside the plug, and he also had dealings with the Tiger League, but it was limited to the people under the Tiger League, and the famous Yi Saburo in the north was only famous for a long time and had no chance to make friends. When Shan Xiongxin got that Murong Jituo was going south before, Dou Jiande and the three of them did not hesitate to express their willingness to go south to help, this time Shan Xiongxin rushed to Baimapo, and Dou Jiande and the three of them immediately went with each other. The three of them are well aware of the influence of the Tiger League in the north, and Yi Saburo is the ninth leader and core figure in the Tiger League. If you can use Shan Xiongxin to get in touch with Yi Saburo, it will be of infinite use. If nothing else, no matter which line you take, you have to pass through the control area of the Tiger League.

Now seeing that Yi Saburo is really more famous, the famous red-haired little spirit official Shan Erzhuang owner on Hebei Road is in front of Yi Saburo, but he is also willing to live as a younger brother, which makes him have a further understanding of Yi Saburo's status. Especially at this time, seeing the general of Zhuguo, who was the second grade of the imperial court, and the governor of Jianzhou, who came to protect his children, all had a very happy relationship with Ling Yun, which made him even more surprised and shocked in his heart. This Yi Saburo is even more powerful than he imagined. This also added more and more to his idea of befriending Ling Yun.

Originally, if they didn't run in vain today, but really arrived in time to rescue Yi Saburo, then Dou Jiande would feel that it was a good opportunity to make friends with Ling Yun at this time. But the last time he went south to the future and made a trip, today he went to rescue Baimapo in a timely manner, and he returned twice without success, so he didn't dare to meet Ling Yun for a while. After all, he was just a small landowner and businessman in Hebei.

"Jiande, we went over to toast Yi Saburo, maybe with Yi Saburo's help, you don't have to have a home and can't go back." Friend Sun Anzu said.

At the table, Dou Jiande and the three of them, as Shan Xiongxin's guests, also sat in front, but they were still a little far away from Lingyun, separated by a few seats. Ling Yun was laughing loudly with Lai Hu'er, Shan Xiongxin, Pei Li and others at this time, and Dou Jiande hesitated. I am afraid that it will be rude to come forward rashly.

Ling Yun has actually been thinking about the identities of these Hebei people, these three people are all around thirty years old, and they have an extraordinary momentum, not ordinary people. Shan Xiongxin hadn't introduced him in detail before, and he didn't want to ask him. At the banquet, he looked at these three Hebei people several times, and felt more and more that they were extraordinary, and finally asked, "Xiongxin, you haven't introduced me to your Hebei guests!" ”

"Oh, third brother, these are friends from Hebei, let me introduce you to them." As he spoke, he got up and walked towards Dou Jiande and the others with Ling Yun.

"Beizhou Dou Jiande, Sun Anzu, Hao Xiaode"

"Dou Jiande" Ling Yun's hand that was raising a glass to the three of them suddenly froze, and the whole person lost his mind slightly, Beizhou Dou Jiande, is that Dou Jiande, who is a promise and a good man? In the troubled era at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the former Great Xia Emperor Dou Jiande?
