Chapter 26: Ding Kui's Birthday

Shao Dianmi's carriage was still parked at the door of the palace, but the others followed the secret passage to the backyard of the Taiyuan Academy on the side of the palace, and walked into the wing room where he handled his daily official business.

Half an hour later, a command was issued in this chamber that frightened the nobles of the Cao Kingdom.

The Funiu Mountain assassination incident caused a small shock in Shaodian Kingdom, and in the calm Xiaxi Town, Ding Kui ushered in the most lively birthday.

The birthday of June 4867 in the general calendar was particularly lively, and many more people celebrated him.

Not to mention the old marquis who came to Xiaxi Town to serve as Ding Kui's retainers and guards, even the nobles of Pingzhong County also sent people, if it wasn't for the time, the nobles from other counties in Zhongwangzhou would send people to celebrate Ding Kui.

The first to come was Lu Ying, she is Lu Ji's daughter, and she has been Ding Kui's playmate since she was a child, because there is only such a child from a noble family in the town, so after Lu Ying became sensible, she has been following Ding Kui.

The eight-year-old girl no longer staggered, but jumped up and down, grabbed Ding Kui's hand and asked him to tell a story.

Hearing that Ding Kui went on a long trip, she was very envious.

Senior sister Lin Bi also arrived very early, the distance between Laowu Town and Xiaxi Town is not far, as a senior sister, she came to congratulate her junior brother early.

"Happy birthday junior brother, my father wants me to bring you a gift so that you can have time to go to Laowu Town to play. After speaking, Lin Bi asked his entourage to hand over the gift to Ding Cai.

Although Ding Cai's careful thinking of letting Li Zili work instead of him was bankrupt, because of his performance in Funiu Mountain, he became Ding Kui's retainer, and his status was promoted to Ding Kui's personal follower.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Lin, there are a lot of people today, you can come and sit with me. By the way, have you seen Senior Brother and Senior Sister Zheng Yun?" Ding Kui led Lin Bi to his courtyard and asked about the senior brothers and sisters who had disappeared recently.

Not long after Jiang Nan and Ding Kun made a big fuss in Zhucheng, several knight apprentices who trained with Lu Ji in Xiaxi Town were all called back by their families, including Feng Liang, the senior brother who had been following Lu Ji for a long time.

Ding Kui's recent training has been personally guided by Lu Ji, and he practiced alone in Heifanzhai, and today is the first time to see Lin Bi who was called home.

When the incident in Kengzhu City happened, there were many onlookers, including businessmen from surrounding cities, and the matter spread quickly in Pingzhong County.

When the king made his attitude to the matter known, several families reacted quickly.

The Feng family in Lianhe City recalled Fengliang, the Ouyang family in Xinyu City recalled Ouyang Chong, the Zheng family in Xiushui City recalled Zheng Yun, the Xu family in Huling City recalled Xu Bin, the Cai family in Kengzhu City recalled Cai Gang, and the Lin family in Laowu Town recalled Lin Bi.

These families may have different attitudes towards Ding Kui, but they all invariably told their children: don't provoke Ding Kui easily, don't make enemies if you can be friends, even if you can't play together, don't make moves to hurt Ding Kui, after all, he is an official.

Strictly speaking, the children of the nobility are not really nobles, and only when they inherit the title are they recognized by the laws of the state.

Ding Kui's Internal Security Division is a real official, civilians and officials clashed, and the first board must be a civilian.

The Lin family in Laowu Town thought much more simply, and wanted to have a good relationship with Ding Kui as much as possible.

The people and horses of the Protector Hou can run to the territory of the Lin family after eating and eating, and they can run to the territory of the Lin family, if nothing else, once something happens, it is quite convenient to come over and hold a personal field.

"Senior brothers and sisters, they estimate that it will take a few days to come back, this time the family called me back, and after taking the test of my training progress, they let me rest for a few days, we are neighbors so we can come here today. Lin Bi also secretly guessed the purpose of the others being called back, and it was inconvenient to explain it in front of Ding Kui.

"It's a pity, if only Senior Brother and Senior Sister Zheng could come, there are a lot of delicious and fun things today. Ding Kui had a regretful expression on his face.

Ding Kui knew it by heart, and pretended not to know anything on the surface.

"By the way, let me introduce you, this is Lu Ying, you should be common; this is Xiaoxiao, the things she cooks are delicious; this is Dachuan, from the capital, knows a lot of things; this is Brother Qian, he is a very powerful magician, but unfortunately he can't fly yet." Ding Kui pulled Lin Bi and introduced the people in his yard to her one by one.

When Qianyou was introduced, this magician was thundered by Ding Kui, and the sentence "It's a pity that he can't fly" made him embarrassed.

At the age of twenty, he could cultivate to the rank of Cloak Mage, and Qianyou was considered a genius disciple of his master.

Being able to fly is the sign of a mage, and the Soaring Technique is a mid-level magic, and a robed mage who only releases low-level magic doesn't have enough magic power.

Since the morning, people have been sending gifts to Ding Kui. There are the Lei family in the black soil city, the Teng family in Pingzhong County, the Zheng family in Xiushui City, the Feng family in Lianhe City, the Chunyu family in the octagonal city, and the Bai family in the iron gall city.

As for the baron's family, the lord of a town is too numerous to count.

Among them, the farthest distance, the largest handwriting is still the grandfather Jiang's family, and a car of gifts has been sent all the way.

Ding Kui is too young, and it is the housekeeper Ding Kun who greets the envoys from all walks of life, and he is too busy. Fortunately, Quan Sihai is a figure with a head and a face, and he can help greet some people, otherwise it will not be enough to split Ding Kun in half.

In the past six months, all the people who rushed to Xiaxi Town to protect the marquis's family have reached the full strength of 400 people of the marquis.

Today, except for a few people who didn't rush back from Funiu Mountain, they all arrived at the Ding family's old house.

They set up hundreds of meters of flowing water mats on the street in front of Dingfu, as long as they say an auspicious word, they can eat from morning to night, unless you go home by yourself, or no one will drive you away.

After the envoys of the nobles and nobles saw Ding Kui, they greeted each other in the front yard of the Ding family, and the familiar ones sat together, and Lala often talked about the old days;

Being able to drink and feast in the palace of the Marquis of the Protector was a rare experience for most of these gift-giving envoys, and if they went to the mansions of other marquises, they would not be able to drink a sip of tea, and they would be sent away.

In the evening, Ding Kui appeared with the butler, which brought the atmosphere of this banquet to the highest peak. They first went to the flowing water seat in front of the door, wrapped a silver coin as a thank-you gift, and handed it out to the people of the town who came to participate one by one.

Then Ding Kui walked into the front yard of the old house and wrapped a gold coin for each messenger who came to give gifts as a thank you gift, which was equivalent to a year's income of ordinary people.

The people who came were all the subordinates of the nobles, after all, it was a child's birthday, and there was no relation, and the adults would not come to the door in person.

Just like Lin Bi's father, Lin Xiu, who wanted to come but couldn't save face, Lu Ji, the nearest nobleman, was also a master, and he only sent Lu Ying over.

Clear-eyed people can see that the people who come to the Ding family are basically local nobles in Zhongwangzhou, and none of the capital bigwigs who had a good relationship with Ding Dao in the past came, except for the Jiang family.

Not to mention the people below, the commanders of the other four military command departments, military justice departments, logistics departments, and equipment departments of the Commander's Mansion used to have close contacts with the Ding family.

After the accident with Ding Dao, these old colleagues were all silent, and so far none of the four families had sent anyone to the Ding family, and on the surface, they seemed to have drawn a clear line with the Ding family.

This time, there seem to be a lot of people who came to take advantage of Ding Kui's birthday to get close to the protector of the country, but only the Jiang family is really powerful, and the remaining nine of the ten dukes of Shaodian ignore this.

The noisy night soon passed, and the town of Xiaxi returned to its former calm.

Ding Kui still went to Heifanling early in the morning to train, but he was followed by his guards.

Lord Du Hu had ten guards, and his guards were Lao Qiantou, Ding Cai, Qianyou, Jiang Shunchuan, and six people selected from among the defectors. The configuration is quite luxurious, with a magician, three archers, three samurai and three knights.

Lao Qiantou is a mid-stage sunset archer, Jiang Shunchuan is a late-stage elite archer, and there is a late-stage wind-listening archer; Ding Cai is an early-stage shield-breaking knight, and the other two are mid-stage shield-breaking knights; the housekeeper also singled out three powerful late-stage trapping warriors, plus Qianyou, a unique magician, Ding Kui's guard team can be compared to the chief officers of various departments in the court.

Of the four hundred people who remained in the manor in Xiaxi Town, there were fifty archers, one hundred and fifty knights, and two hundred samurai.

In fact, there were still more defectors, and they were arranged to go to Funiu Mountain, leaving only enough people to form four squadrons.

After the discussion between Ding Kui and the housekeeper, the old money head, and the whole world, the first squadron of the personal guard was led by the late wind archer Xing Hui as the squadron leader, leading forty-nine archers and fifty shield-breaking knights.

The second squadron was led by the late samurai Tian Li as the squadron leader, leading ninety-nine samurai.

The third squadron was led by Mo Jun, a late trap samurai, and led ninety-nine samurai.

The fourth squadron was led by Zhong Zhong, a late shield-breaking knight, and led ninety-nine knights.

The commander of the pro-guard force is in charge of the whole world.

After the personal guards were arranged, Ding Kui also gave the manor a name called "Faithful Garden", praising the faithful people who could come here.

In that year, all the personal guards of the Ding family fell in battle, and now the personal guards of the Protector of the Marquis are officially reorganized.

In the Shaodian Kingdom, the baron can have a hundred guards, the viscount can have two hundred, the earl can have three hundred guards, the marquis can have four hundred, the duke can have five hundred guards, and the prince can have eight hundred guards.

As for the king, it is not restricted, but nominally there are 1,000 personal guards, and the emperors of the two major empires in the north, the Guyuan Empire and the Tongbei Empire, nominally have 2,000 Praetorian Guards.

Dressed in a coarse cloth shirt and riding a bald-tailed old donkey, Zhesheng followed a large caravan into Ssangyong City.

Entering the city, Zhesheng threw the donkey into the mule and horse shed where he helped the people take care of the livestock, and wandered the streets himself.

Shaodianmi's first fierce general folded Sheng, walking and stopping on the streets of Shuanglong City, buying some snacks for a while, picking and picking at the grocery stalls, shopping very comfortably.
