There was great excitement, and a large circle suddenly formed at the gate of the city, with dozens of soldiers and even more merchants and melon-eating people coming and going.
A soldier exclaimed: "Oh my God! These sacks contain the heads of Jiannu slaves!"
Another one stuck out his tongue and said, "No wonder there's blood seeping out of these sacks!"
A small flag swallowed his saliva and said: "How many heads should there be? Is it a hundred?"
A soldier with a silly look broke his fingers and said: "Let me calculate, the first-level reward is fifty taels of silver, and you can be promoted to the next level. Oh my God! Isn't this tens of thousands of taels of silver, and you can be promoted to the rank of chief soldier all of a sudden!"
The Xiaoqi slapped the stupid soldier and said, "You idiot, how can you possibly rise to level 17 or 18 in one go? At most, you can upgrade to three levels in a row. Brother Yang originally had Xiaoqi's department level. I'm afraid he can rise to 100 levels this time." At the household department level, he is appointed as the chief flag officer!"
"Brother Yang and Brother Liu are great. Don't forget about me when you get rich!"
"How should we talk? We should call Master Yang or Master Liu!"
Dozens of people gave thumbs up and said: "Hero!"
"Hahaha..." The proud Liu Chuanzong and Yang Shihu looked up to the sky and laughed.
Geng Zhanghua was eager to return home at this time and was unwilling to waste time at the city gate. He urged: "Don't show off in a hurry. Hurry up and go back first."
Both Liu Chuanzong and Yang Shihu knew that the Geng family would be able to get rid of their bad luck immediately, and that the next step would be a prosperous career.
They have decided to follow Geng Zhanghua from now on, and of course they must hold Geng Zhanghua's thigh tightly.
Seeing Geng Zhanghua's urging, Yang Shihu said loudly: "Brothers, please give way. I have something important to do. When the business is over, I'll treat you to a drink!"
Liu Chuanzong also said: "Don't look too much at these gains. Dozens of brothers died in the battle. Even our leader Geng Gongzi was wounded many times!"
"Master Geng is the general? Which Master Geng is he?"
"This is Mr. Geng. He has a great background. He is the third son of Mr. Geng, the former governor of Shanxi."
"What's going on? Brother Yang, tell us!"
"We don't have time today. Tomorrow we will treat you all to a drink and tell everyone the story of how Master Geng led us to kill the slaves!"
"It's a deal!"
"Of course!"
"Hey! Hey! Master Yang, Master Liu, you haven't said which restaurant you want to go to yet!"
"..."
Geng Zhanghua had just entered the door and hadn't seen the old lady yet. After getting the news, Li Weida came over with Li Sien.
They got the report from the soldiers guarding the city.
After seeing Geng Zhanghua, Li Weida didn't have time to exchange greetings and immediately asked: "Did you really get the head of a real slave?"
The success was entirely due to Li Weida's matchmaking, so Geng Zhanghua appreciated his kindness and was very polite to him. When he asked, he immediately smiled and said:
"One hundred and nineteen level real slaves, including sixty regular soldiers with waist badges, and eighty-sixth level bannermen and coated slaves."
"Huh? So many? Hahaha..."
Li Weida was overjoyed, he was really happy.
Because it was just a matter of effort for him to connect people, he didn't think it would be successful at the time.
Now that he has done a good job and joined the Geng family, he doesn't know how much more money he can make in the future.
At this time, Geng Zhangguang and Geng Yueru helped the old lady out. Geng Zhanghua fell to his knees with a "plop!" and crawled to his mother's knees.
Said: "Mother, I make you worry!"
At this time, the old lady had tears streaming down her face. She touched Geng Zhanghua's rough cheek with trembling hands and was speechless for a moment.
Geng Zhangguang quickly helped Geng Zhanghua up for his mother, and praised with a smile: "You are indeed a good man!"
Geng Yueru, who was helping his mother sit down, asked: "Third brother, did Huang Zhuangshi's men and horses suffer heavy losses?"
"Huang Yi and the others didn't suffer any losses, but the number of men and horses increased more and more!"
"Huh? How could this happen?"
At this time, the hall was full of people, and all the Geng family's family members in Zhangjiakou were here. All the gloom on their faces in the past was wiped away, and everyone was beaming with joy.
Geng Zhanghua saw his seventh sister Geng Yueling following his aunt, and remembered Geng's advice.
He raised his voice and said: "Huang Yi is a tall, mighty and handsome young man in his early twenties, but he is an extraordinary hero.
We only have less than forty men who are capable of fighting, yet he dared to take the lead in attacking the Houjin Army, which had hundreds of soldiers! "
"Hiss!" Most of the people present took a breath.
In the past few months, I have been hearing about which city Jiannu destroyed, which people the Ming Dynasty lost, and which adults died in battle.
Suddenly I heard that only a few dozen Ming troops dared to attack a few hundred Jin troops. This is simply unbelievable!
Li Weida and Li Sien pulled Yang Shihu over and asked softly: "Is this true?"
Although Yang Shihu looked down on Li Si'en from the bottom of his heart, he was a Shangguan and he did not dare to be presumptuous. He immediately replied respectfully: "That's true!"
At this time, Geng Da interjected: "My third young master is a hero. He killed seven Jiannu with his own hands this time!"
Li Weida thought it was impossible and asked Yang Shihu: "Did he really kill seven Houjin troops?"
Of course Yang Shihu knew that Geng Da was bragging on behalf of Geng Zhanghua, but he couldn't point it out, so he said vaguely:
"Anyway, I saw with my own eyes the third young master of the Geng family beheading a slave slave. He literally cut the slave slave into eight pieces, and the blood spattered all over Master Geng's head and face!"
"Hiss! I didn't expect the Third Young Master to be so awesome!"
Geng Yueru's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said in admiration: "Third brother is so awesome!"
"I'm not that powerful, but Mr. Huang is really great! He..."
Just when the whole room was craning their necks to listen to Geng Zhanghua's story, the concierge came over to report that Mr. Liu from Bingbei Road had come to pay homage to the old lady.
Not only Mr. Liu, but after a while, all the civil servants and generals who could be counted in Zhangjiakou arrived.
Only a few of these people were former disciples and former officials of Geng Ruqi, and most of them had nothing to do with the Geng family.
But today, everyone changed from their normal behavior and rushed to show their face in front of the old lady and say a few high-sounding words to Geng Zhanghua and Geng Zhanghua.
Why?
There is no fool among officials! If you want to curry favor with a border official like the governor, you may not be able to curry favor with him!
Zhangjiakou is already in a storm. Everyone is spreading the rumor that the third son of the Geng family led his servants to intercept and kill Jiannu and return in great victory. He attacked and killed hundreds of real slaves and took the heads of more than a hundred real slaves.
Now everyone can conclude that Geng Ruqi, who is in jail, will be fine, and may be promoted because of his son's military exploits. How could he not come to join in the fun now?
Li Weida had already asked Yang Shihu about the whole story.
He was grinning from ear to ear!
The relationship between the Li family and the Geng family will be unusual in the future, and his status as a hero in the Li family will be greatly improved. It is certain that he will manage more businesses in the future.
Therefore, he was more concerned about the affairs of the Geng family. He saw an opportunity to win over Geng Zhanghua, and in front of Yang Shihu and Liu Chuanzong, he asked them to stop talking about their own opinions and speak the same tone.
