Chapter 385: The Wanderer Returns Home
The father-in-law's experience in teaching his son to be promoted to a high-level knight, of course, Ding Qi couldn't ask for it, and he was not idle, and went to his brother-in-law Jiang Li to discuss the marriage between Ding Kui and Long Yan.
"Married so early, the daughter of the Long family is only seventeen, even if she can really conceive a child, it will be difficult for this child to achieve success in the future. Jiang Li had reservations about this, Long Yansheng's son would be the heir of the Jiang family in the future, and he had to think about it more.
The families of this world attach great importance to the inheritance of bloodlines, they do not have physiological and health science, but they observe the growth of children very carefully, and conclude that the babies born to parents between the twenties and forties are stronger, and the bearing of the bloodline is relatively complete, so the newlyweds are not in a hurry to have children.
Judging from the qualifications that Kui'er is showing now, the probability of his children surpassing him is extremely low, and he doesn't expect the daughter of the Long family to give birth alone, getting married early and having children early is just an insurance measure. Ding Qi didn't care what Jiang Li was thinking, he still had to explain on his face.
"Well, this is also a helpless move, okay, let's talk to my father later. Jiang Li is not good at opposing Ding Kui's joining the army.
Ding Kui now has no problem with his understanding of the promotion of fearlessness, only practice remains, and he wants to know more about the realm of domination and beyond, but Jiang Tong's experience tells him that knowing too early will affect his current cultivation. Experience must be respected, he knows that after the fifth level, each level of combat power is a qualitative improvement, and the strength has increased significantly, and laying a solid foundation is what he has to do now.
"After Dreadnought, there is such a saying, 'The fighting spirit is endless, the knight does not die', which shows that the knights after this rank have a strong ability to survive. The control of the consumption of Dou Qi is very important, especially when encountering opponents who are stronger than you, they can cause your Dou Qi output to pause for a short time, which is a mortal danger. "Jiang Tong imparted the combat experience of the fearless knight.
Ding Kui's running away from home this time reminded Jiang Tong that this kid is not a fuel-efficient lamp, maybe when he does something unexpected to you, what can be taught in advance will be passed on in advance, so as not to have a chance to pass it on in the future.
"What if the output of fighting qi is interrupted?" Ding Kui saw Ao Yu punch and knock out the fighting qi on Teng Kui's sword.
"To avoid receiving a continuous blow to the place being attacked, keep moving to make it difficult for the opponent to lock onto you, and try not to stay in one place for a long time. Your life is much more important than your personal glory, and the glory of the Jiang family and the Ding family does not need you to bear it. It's the same on the battlefield, the magician can surrender, can't the knight still run?" Jiang Tong only cared about Ding Kui's life and death, and desperately instilled in him the concept that he had to save himself first.
It's really good to have a grandfather's child, that's right! Life is the last word, as long as you live, no matter what you lose, you will have the opportunity to get it back with your own hands, I always think about defeating the strong with the weak, and running away when I encounter an enemy like Ao Yu is the best way to deal with it.
Ding Kui 100% agreed with Jiang Tong's opinion, although it seemed a little cowardly, "Is there an upper limit to the fusion of qi, blood and energy?"
"This question will be answered when you reach the peak of intrepid, until then, you just need to integrate as much as possible, and for the time being, just think of it as unlimited. ”
The grandfather and grandson chatted for a long time before leaving the study, if it weren't for Ding Kui's hunger, the conversation might not stop.
At lunch, Jiang Li told Jiang Tong about Ding Qi's idea, Jiang Tong did not object, as long as the inheritance continues, there will always be successors.
That night, the commander of the Weiguo Gong and the Armament Department was invited to the Anguo Mansion for a banquet.
The next day, Ding Kui took Ding Kun, Ao Yu, Shi Jiang and Qianyou back to Xiaxi Town, and Ding Qi wanted to stay in the capital to complete the formal procedures such as courtship and hiring, because Long Yan had become Long Kun's goddaughter, and the specifications of marriage were according to the example of the Long family's daughters.
After passing through the portal and coming to Zhennan City, there was actually someone guarding Ding Kui here, who turned out to be a person from the Qizhong Branch. Ding Kui won the tenth place in the country in the last knight competition, and in recognition of his merits, the Riding Central Branch decided to award him a "Victory Medal", which is a medal that has been reported in the Commander's Palace, and needs to be collected in person.
Xuanyuan Huang personally put a medal on Ding Kui and said: "You are the first player in the history of Zhongwangzhou to win the top ten in the country at the age of two years younger, although Long Tan and Jiang Cao both made it to the top ten, their exploits cannot be compared with yours." In the future, unless someone is younger than you and finishes in the top 10 of the national competition, they will not be awarded the 'Victory Medal'. The Who's Who in the History of the Riding Division has your stroke. ”
"Thank you, Your Excellency, Ding Kui must take it as his responsibility to defend the glory of the knights, and strive to establish more meritorious services for the cavalry branch. ”
"Good! The Marquis of the Protector should have returned to Zhongwangzhou a long time ago, and we can't let Wangzhou steal the glory that belongs to us. Xuanyuan Huang did not shy away from speaking at all, "There is one more thing, you owe a lot of military courses, and you need to make up for them according to the regulations, and the branch has specially hired a famous general of the kingdom for you, Baron Lu Ji, the former commander of the Golden Water Village, and he will make up for your military courses." Report to him as soon as you get back and finish your military course as soon as possible. ”
Ding Kui was snickering in his heart, he was serious about what Xuanyuan Huang said, and there was no difference between letting him find Lu Ji to make up the class and releasing the water, and it was impossible for Lu Ji to find the Qizhong Branch to report him to skip class.
He has been in military classes for less than a year at the Knight Guild in Black Earth City, and after the knight competition began, it was basically occupied by the time of special training, from the county competition, the state competition to the national competition, and he did not take even a single military class. It doesn't matter if an ordinary knight doesn't go up, he still has the title of one of the top ten in the country, and he is also a squadron leader at the lowest starting point when he joins the army.
An officer with insufficient military knowledge will drag down his troops, and if he doesn't get it right, he will also drag down his higher-level units, and the Commander's Office will not allow such a thing to happen.
Leaving Zhennan City, Ding Kui and the others rushed all the way to Xiaxi Town.
Ding Kui has been away from the old mansion for a few years, and he misses this place where he spent his childhood a little. From leaving Black Earth City to Pingzhong County to participate in the county competition, he has not returned to the Ding family's old house for more than three years, and this time he will go back to complete two major events in his life, the coming-of-age ceremony and marriage.
In the Shaodian country, the coming-of-age ceremony is a grand event, especially the heirs of the nobles, usually have to invite a large number of relatives and friends to watch the ceremony, and the preparations will basically start half a year in advance.
On the first day of February in 4873, Ding Kui finally arrived at the town of Xiaxi.
When it was about ten miles away from the entrance of the town, Zhong Wei led ninety-nine knights in bright armor to divide into two formations on both sides of the road, and a large flag embroidered with horned pythons was carried on Zhong Wei's shoulders.
The reporters of "Yanhuang Publishing House" have been all over the major cities in Zhongwangzhou, and the old money head has long known that the father and son of the Houguo Hou are going to return to China, and when Ding Kui just left Zhennan City, Xiaxi Town received the news.
Ding Kui was very happy, and stepped forward to greet every knight, this group of veterans of the Faithful Garden joked loudly with Ding Kui on their mouths, but the array they kept was not chaotic at all, until Zhong Wei shouted: "Protect the young master and return to the town!" A hundred knights surrounded Ding Kui and the others, urging the horses to rush to Xiaxi Town with neat steps.
Because it was the beginning of spring, the farmers who were already working in the fields on both sides of the road saw Ding Kui in the middle of the procession, and they all stopped their work and said hello to the prince of the country.
Ding Kui waved to the people who greeted him, and when he saw acquaintances, he would ask them about the situation at home, and a strong hometown feeling came to his heart, and tears of joy oozed from the corners of his eyes.
"I suddenly feel like you belong here. Ao Yu, who was parallel to Ding Kui, said.
"What does this mean?" Ding Kui didn't understand.
"I don't know, it's like I belong to that valley. Ao Yu said vaguely that his home was in Qinglong Valley, and he had told Ding Kui before.
"I've lived in this place for as long as I can remember, and I'm familiar with every inch of land here, and it's okay to say that I belong here or that this place belongs to me. Ding Kui suddenly found that he had such a high sense of identity with this featureless town, and that kind of attachment to his homeland had never been before.
Zhong Wei lowered the speed of the whole team's horses, and walked into Xiaxi Town at the speed of a war horse, and Lao Qiantou led all the guards of Ding Kui except Qianyou to wait at the entrance of the town, and Ding Cai, who was full of tears, rushed to Ding Kui's horse for the first time, grabbed the reins and led the horse for Ding Kui.
"Why are you crying with a sad face?" Ding Kui stretched out his leg and kicked Ding Cai.
"The slave is happy, I don't know what's going on, my eyes are like sand, and my tears don't stop. Ding Cai kept wiping away his tears with his sleeves.
#####
"The big head is back, just let me go over and take a look. Lu Ying hugged his father's arm and coquettishly.
"No, Kui'er just came back, there are a lot of things to deal with at home, you run over to join in the fun, wait for him to come and see me, it's not too late for you to see him again." Lu Ji knew that his daughter would only cause chaos when she went to Ding's house, and she was not allowed to run over at this time.
#####
It was Ding Xiao who greeted Ding Kui in front of the gate of the old mansion, and she was followed by two palace showers.
"Welcome the young master back to his house!" Without waiting for Ding Kui to dismount, Ding Xiao took Gong Xiu and fell to his knees.
"Get up, get up! You know I'm not interested in this. Ding Kui jumped up the steps in two steps and reached out to Ding Xiao.
Ding Xiao hurriedly stood up by himself, held back the tears in his eyes, and said, "Young master, you will soon become a master, if there are no rules in the backyard, the slave and maid will be the first to apply for family law disposal." For the sake of the slave and maid, these etiquettes are not missing at all. ”
"Alright, alright, I'm just coming back and I'm not going to talk about that. This is my brother Yu, you arrange a guest house for him. Ding Kui patted Ao Yu on the shoulder.
Ding Xiao didn't dare to slack off, and the person who could let Ding Kui's personal maid come forward to entertain him was extraordinary, indicating that this person was very important in Ding Kui's mind.
