Chapter 72: Thirteen Knots

An idea suddenly popped into Ling Yun's mind, why didn't he accept this group of little guys as his righteous sons.

This kind of idea is not whimsical, in fact, people in this era have a bit of the atmosphere since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and they have to burn yellow paper and cut off the head of the chicken with like-minded people at every turn. Or, when you see a child you like, you want to adopt it as a child. Sworn brothers, and the adoption of righteous sons, were all too common in this day and age. From the aristocracy to the peddlers and pawns, this is the case.

When Murong Ke saw Lingyun fighting the tiger, he was immediately overjoyed, and immediately accepted him as his son, and he was the thirteenth son. Another example is when Ling Yun and Shan Xiongxin were two teenagers, they used to worship each other.

Looking at these kids in front of him, they are all future famous generals, pieces of good jade, as a person who knows history well, he really can't treat these children ordinarily. At this time, Ling Yun didn't have any too unusual thoughts, and wanted to accept a few children as godsons, but the big reason was just a feeling that ordinary people couldn't understand.

As soon as he thought of it, Ling Yun immediately took the group of children back to the front hall of the village, and then found Shan Xiongxin, Dou Jiande, Xu Gai, Cheng Lou, Su Yi, Luo Yi and others, and put forward the idea that he wanted to accept these children as righteous sons.

"Okay, I'm for it!" Shan Xiongxin first agreed, he and Ling Yun were originally brothers, and his daughter recognized Ling Yun as her father-in-law, isn't this a normal thing?

Dou Jiande also had no objection, he had already admired Ling Yun, and he wanted to make friends with this new acting leader of the Tiger Alliance, but now Ling Yun offered to accept his daughter as a righteous daughter, why didn't he agree? If his daughter becomes Ling Yun's daughter-in-law, then he will also become Ling Yun's brother, and the relationship with the Lord of Yi Meng will be a lot closer in the future.

Cheng Lou, Xu Gai and Su Yong all have similar ideas, all three of them are powerful in a state, because of the relationship between the underground business, they already have a cooperative relationship with the Tiger Alliance, and they also know Ling Yun very well, and they admire this acting alliance leader very much. Now he offered to take their son as a adopted son, which is a good thing. At the very least, everyone's business can continue and the relationship can go further. Besides, looking at this Yi Saburo, even the new governor of Jianzhou has such a close relationship with him, how extensive this network is, the real black and white all-inclusive. No matter what aspect they considered, after Ling Yun made this request, they had no reason to refuse.

"San Lang is willing to accept the dog as a righteous son, which is the blessing that the dog has cultivated for several generations." The three of them almost all spoke in unison, hurriedly agreeing. How can you disagree with such a good thing. If you don't agree, if you don't get it right, you will make the leader of the Yi Alliance unhappy, can you still cooperate in the future?

It's just that Luo Yi was stunned there alone, and he didn't speak for a long time.

"What, Brother Luo is unwilling?" Ling Yun asked a little strangely. With his fame and status, Luo Yi shouldn't disagree. Xu Gai on the side was even more secretly anxious for Luo Yi, and quietly pulled his sleeves. I regret bringing him here with some regret in my heart, I haven't seen the world from a small place, and it won't be good if I annoy the Lord of Yimeng.

"Ahh Luo Yi finally came back to his senses, his face was a little red, and he stammered: "Agree, agree, a thousand small ones" He was so surprised just now that he couldn't react, compared with Xu Gai, the richest man in a state, and the local tycoon, the Luo family is just a hawker who makes a little money, and it is very rare for him to have the opportunity to come to Erxianzhuang to see so many influential people. When he heard that Yi Saburo, who had only heard about the Tiger League in the story of the tea shop and restaurant before, actually wanted to accept his kid as a righteous son, he really couldn't react. Yi Saburo wants to accept the children of the Shan family, the Xu family, the Cheng family, and the Su family as righteous sons, which is all in the past, after all, these families are not small, and they have always had friends with Yi Saburo. But I'm just a small trader, insignificant.

Ling Yun smiled slightly: "Since everyone agrees, it would be great, in this way, ask a few little guys if they are willing to recognize me as a godfather, if so, then the matter is settled." ”

Call a few little guys together and ask in front of everyone if they are willing to recognize themselves as their father-in-law.

"I recognize you as my father-in-law, can I play with the little wolf from now on?" Xu Shiji, who was only four years old, stared at the big eyes and asked innocently, while asking, he also swept the little wolf gray wind with wet fur under Lingyun's feet from time to time.

"Hahaha, of course you can, are you willing now?" Ling Yun replied with a smile.

"Yes, yes." Hearing that he could play with the little wolf in the future, Xu Shiji nodded violently and agreed to recognize Ling Yun as his father-in-law.

With this little guy taking the lead, the rest of the children got the hints from their fathers, and naturally agreed to them one by one at this time. However, Lingyun did not accept Heng and Laiji, the two prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty in history, as godsons, first, they are the sons of Laihu'er, and Laihu'er's identity is there, the son of a dignified county prince, he is an illegitimate child who is not easy to open his mouth to accept others as a righteous son. Second, Ling Yun actually has other ideas, he wants to marry Lai Liulang, if he and Lai Heng Lai Ji become father and son, then he will not become Lai Liu's elders, and he can no longer be brothers.

The children of the rivers and lakes are not so particular.

As soon as the matter was decided, preparations were made for the prayer.

Witnessed by all the guests, Ling Yun sat on the head, and several little guys came up to serve tea in turn. Ling Yun took them and drank them one by one, even if he officially completed the ceremony.

In the end, Lingyun accepted six righteous sons and daughters in one go, the ten-year-old Cheng Biting Jin was the largest, the seven-year-old Su Lie was the second, then the five-year-old Luo Shixin and the four-year-old Xu Shiji, the two girls were in another rank, the seven-year-old Dou Xianniang was the eldest sister among the righteous girls, and the three-year-old Shan Ailian was naturally the second sister.

"Okay, from today on, you are my Lingyun's righteous son and daughter, and in the future, everyone will love each other and protect each other. Come, this is a greeting gift for you. Ling Yun smiled and helped up several righteous sons and daughters who were kneeling on the ground one by one, and gave them the prepared gifts. The gifts of the four boys were a refined dagger and a jade pendant each, and one of them had a pony. The two girls also have a jade pendant and two jade bracelets.

Above the hall, there was laughter. Everyone is very happy about this matter, Ling Yun is happy that he has become the father of famous generals, while Dou Jiande, Cheng Lou, Su Yong and others are happy that the relationship with Yi Saburo has taken a big step, and they will be a family in the future.

Sun Anzu over there stood behind Dou Jiande and whispered: "Bohu, I think Yi Saburo likes to make friends the most, why don't you go up and bow to Yi Saburo, this relationship can go further." ”

Dou Jiande's heart was pounding after hearing this, but he was a little hesitant, "Yi Saburo is afraid that he may not be willing to bow to someone!" ”

At this time, Ling Yun laughed out loud and said: "It's rare for all brothers to gather today, and now Yi has accepted a few new sons and daughters, which is gratifying." Why don't I like it and rejoice it, and then put up a case of incense here, make an alliance with blood, and become brothers in life and death with righteousness, and save each other in life and death in the future, and help each other in times of trouble, wouldn't it be better, I don't know what everyone wants? ”

These words hit Dou Jiande's mind, and he immediately praised loudly, "Third Brother Yi said well, if you don't give up, Dou is willing to marry Jinlan with all brothers." ”

At that moment, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became lively.

Jianghu men, once they see each other and feel that they are in love, it is a very popular practice to burn yellow paper and cut the head of the chicken and kowtow to worship.

After some enthusiasm, everyone decided to fight together, including Ling Yun, Dou Jiande, Shan Xiongxin, Lai Quan, Qin Qiong, Zhai Rang, Huang Junhan, Xu Gai, Cheng Lou, Su Yong, Wang Bodang, Sima Dejiao, Yang Wei Thirteen people.

The four brothers of the Gao family in Lingyun's team, as well as Wang Bao and Wei Bao of the Tiger Alliance, all thought that they were Lingyun's subordinates and refused to go beyond to bow to Lingyun. Dou Jiande's two friends, Sun Anzu and Hao Jiande, also thought that their identities were unsuitable and insisted on refusing to worship together, and Luo Shixin's father Luo Yi also considered his low status and refused to worship, so in the end, only thirteen people married together. Ling Yun, Dou Jiande, Su Yong from Hebei, Shan Xiongxin, Zhai Rang, Huang Junhan, Xu Gai, Cheng Lou, Qin Qiong, Wang Bodang from Henan, Lai Quan, Yang Wei, Sima Dejiao from Guanzhong, etc. Originally, Sima Dejiao and Yang Wei were not too enthusiastic about worshipping, after all, they were all generals under the command of King Jin and court officials, and they still looked down on these people in the rivers and lakes. However, Ling Yun refused to let them go, he knew very well that the relationship between himself and Yang Guang, the father and son, was not stable, and the two helpers sent by Yang Guang were actually more like the prison army, and he needed to have a good relationship with them, after all, the two wives were still in Yang Guang's hands. It is also very helpful to me to bow down with them and have a good relationship, and after arriving in the north, I don't know when I need their support, but they have three hundred elites sent by Yang Guang in their hands.

Thirteen people, there are court officials, Sima Dejia and Yang Wei, the governors of the Jin Prince's Mansion, Cheng Lou, the governor of Jeju, and Qin Qiong, the head of the Jianzhou Governor's Mansion. Cao Zhai Rang of Baima County, and Huang Junhan of Prison. The green forest heroes Lingyun, Wang Yong, Shan Xiongxin, as well as the local heroes Dou Jiande, Xu Gai, Su Yong, etc., can be said to have different identities, but in the end, with Lingyun as the link, everyone formed a righteous union.

Finally, when it comes to tooth order, Cheng Biting Jin's father, Cheng Lou, the governor of Jeju Prefecture, is the longest at 30 years old, Zhai Rang is 28 years old, Dou Jiande is 25 years old, Su Yong is fourth, Xu Gai is fifth, Huang Junhan is sixth, Qin Qiong is seventh, Sima Dejiao, Ling Yun, and Yang Wei are the same age, and they are ranked eighth to tenth according to the size of the month, and Shan Tong, Wang Yong, and Lai Quan are all seventeen, and they are ranked last.

The eldest brother Cheng Lou, the second brother Zhai Rang, the third brother Dou Jiande, the fourth brother Su Yong, the fifth brother Xu Gai, the sixth brother Huang Junhan, the seventh brother Qin Qiong, the eighth brother Sima Dejiao, the ninth brother Lingyun, the tenth brother Yang Wei, the eleventh brother Shan Xiongxin, the twelfth brother Wang Bodang, and the thirteenth brother Lai.

Everyone pricked their fingers, dripped blood into the bowl, and then poured it full of wine, thirteen people drank this bowl of blood wine together, knelt down to worship the incense case, and vowed together to marry Jinlan, and help each other in life and death in the future!

"Today, I am Yifeng and all my brothers are righteous brothers, life and death are dragged together, good luck and evil are rescued, blessings and misfortunes are shared, and adversity depends on each other!"
