Xiaoqi

After one night, all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty knew that after Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu was defeated in the martial arts competition with Li Li's generals, they were ashamed and indignant, and they waited for an opportunity to sneak attack on their opponents. Accepted, sold himself into the Li family as a slave.

In addition, there is another piece of news that shocked the officials even more.

That was the always stingy Zhang Ji who actually gave Li Li a wedding gift worth three hundred gold.

Afterwards, Li Fu, the steward of Longxiang Li's Mansion, came forward to confirm that this statement was not a rumor, but true, and frankly admitted that Zhang Ji was the honored guest at the wedding banquet of the lord Li Li, and he would sit at the same table with Dong Xiangguo, General Li Jue and others.

If Zhang Xiu was injured in the martial arts competition and what Hu Che'er suffered on behalf of the Lord was not enough to spread throughout the city, then Zhang Ji's wedding gift was indeed a sensation in the whole city, which made countless people deeply marvel and sigh.

A congratulatory gift worth three hundred gold is undoubtedly an astronomical figure in the eyes of many people in the market; it is also a huge sum for civil and military officials, and many of them went bankrupt and did not have so much money.

You must know that Li Li led the army to fight in Liangzhou for more than half a year, and fought bloody battles. After returning to the court with victory, Dong Xiangguo smiled happily and rewarded him with five hundred gold.This is already the most generous reward since the young emperor Liu Xie moved his capital to Chang'an!

Among the civil and military forces of the Manchu dynasty, even Wenhou Lu Bu, who was most favored by Dong Zhuo, had never received such a generous reward. At most, he was rewarded with a hundred taels of gold, plus dozens of beauties and some silk and satin, that's all.

However, the [-] gold rewarded by Dong Zhuo and the [-] gold gift presented by Zhang Ji seem to be quite different from each other, but they are not.

In the eyes of all the officials, the three hundred gold gift was much more important than Dong Zhuo's reward.What a great significance!

No matter what the reason for Zhang Ji's generous gift to Li Li, the gift was real money and not faked.

Since then, many officials in the DPRK and China have been deeply embarrassed and under tremendous pressure.

The Eastern Han Dynasty ruled the world with benevolence, filial piety and etiquette. Officials and clans attached great importance to communication etiquette. Whenever dignitaries took concubines or birthdays, they would send congratulatory gifts and drink happily.Never lose courtesy.

More than ten days later, Xiaoqi General Li Li got married, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty would send a congratulatory gift according to the etiquette, whether they waited to see Li Li or not.Congratulations to Li Li on her wedding.

What's more, among the many wives Li Li married this time was Dong Zhuo's beloved daughter Dong Wan.Since then.All officials in the court still need to prepare a heavy gift, otherwise if Dong Zhuo is offended, he will lose face and the consequences will be disastrous.

Originally, the officials were still thinking about how many congratulatory gifts to send, not too little or too many.After all, although Li Li is an upstart in the imperial court, after all, his qualifications are still young and he is young, so he doesn't need to spend too much money.

But as soon as Zhang Ji made a move, he received three hundred gold gifts.All of a sudden, the threshold of Li Li's wedding ceremony was propped up to the sky, and all the officials were put on the well fence, forcing them to a corner. Why save!

When all the officials in the court were worried about the gift, Li Jue came to Longxiang Li's Mansion early in the morning and asked Li Li about Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew.

In the study room, the butler Li Fu personally served hot tea to Li Jue and Li Li, then walked out of the study room, closed the door, and left.

Outside the door, Li Zhi and Tietuo stood guard, one on the left and the other on the right, and there was no maid or servant within thirty steps.

"Wenchang, as far as my uncle knows, you have no close friendship with Zhang Ji and your nephew, and you have no personal grievances. But why did you have a martial arts competition yesterday, and why did you detain Hu Che'er at the house? What's going on?"

After Li Fu went out, Li Jue asked anxiously with a look of surprise on his face, not caring about drinking tea.

Seeing Li Jue's urgent expression, Li Li grinned slightly, took a sip of hot tea unhurriedly, and asked with a smile, "Did Zhang Ji go to his uncle's house to appeal for suffering last night?"

Li Jue shook his head and said: "It's not complaining, but an apology. But he didn't come in person, but sent a housekeeper to come to the door overnight with supplements, begging me not to hold Zhang Xiu accountable. At that time, I wondered, Zhang Ji When you see me, you always say flattering words, and rarely give gifts out of your pocket. Then I sent someone to inquire, and found out that you fought with Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew, severely injured Zhang Xiu, and forcibly detained Hu Che'er!

Wenchang, although Zhang Ji's martial arts skills are not very good, he is very popular in the army, and the generals in the army give him some face.Also, over the years he has privately recruited many parts, and with the battalion of troops in his hands, he has at least [-] soldiers and horses in his hands, his strength should not be underestimated.

If it is not necessary, uncle hopes that you will not have any grudges with him. If everyone bows their heads and does not look up, the relationship will become stagnant, and it will not be good for you. "

"Hehehe! What uncle said is very true, my nephew has remembered it." Li Li replied with a smile and nodded.

Then he put away his smile and asked calmly, "Uncle, do you know why Uncle Zhang Ji and his nephew came to my house yesterday?"

"Well, I know. Didn't he come to give you a congratulatory gift? Are the rumors wrong?" Li Jue asked rather puzzled.

"A congratulatory gift? Hehehe!" Li Li sneered when he heard the words.

After laughing, Li Li said with a gloomy face: "Uncle only knows one thing but not the other. Yesterday Zhang Ji, nephew and Hu Che'er brought three hundred soldiers, carrying heavy gifts, and came to visit early in the morning. Outsiders In their eyes, they are here to give gifts, but in fact they are uninvited guests!

Do you need to bring three hundred soldiers to escort you along the way to send a congratulatory gift?This is Chang'an City, not the wilderness, let alone encounter bandits.

Uncle may not know that Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew came to my house not to give gifts, but to ask me for a beautiful concubine.Carrying a heavy gift and bringing three hundred soldiers with him, it's nothing more than a show of posture, first the ceremony and then the soldiers, it's menacing!

Zhang Ji asked me to ask for Jing'er. He said that Zou Jing was his concubine whom he had appointed three years ago. He thought that Jing'er had been ruined by Cheng Yin, but he accidentally discovered that she was in my house, so he came to ask for someone. coming! "

After hearing the words, Li Jue's expression changed suddenly, his brows were slightly frowned, and he said angrily: "Is there such a thing? Jing'er is Wuxia's sworn sister, right?

Zhang Ji has been obsessed with women for more than ten years, but he never thought that he is almost 50 years old now, and he still has his bad nature and is obsessed with sex!He dared to make Jing'er's idea, and he still had the face to say that Jing'er was his concubine that he had set up a long time ago.You are so brave! "

"Uncle, don't be angry, it's not worth it." Seeing Li Jue's angry expression, Li Li quickly tried to persuade him.

Then he went on to say: "Actually, Zhang Ji didn't lie. Jing'er was indeed his concubine. I didn't reject him at the time, but he was old after all. I was worried that Jing'er wouldn't be able to live with him for a few years. You have to be a widow. So I let Jinger choose for herself, if she is willing to follow Zhang Ji, she will leave with Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew; if she is not willing, let it go."

"Yeah. Wenchang did a great job, it should be done like this!" Li Jue nodded in agreement.

Li Li sighed, and said: "Yes, the matter could have been resolved satisfactorily, but it's a pity that Zhang Ji is so conceited. He's too arrogant! When Wuxia took Jing'er into the lobby, he made a nag. Unexpectedly, Zhang Ji He was furious. How dare he stretch out his hand and hit him?"

"What? The old thief Zhang Ji beat Wuxia? There's no reason for that, the old thief is too deceitful! He is so daring, Zhang Ji didn't even look in the mirror, he dared to bully my niece and daughter-in-law of Li Jue, I think he is alive Tired of it! Wenchang doesn’t need to talk anymore, uncle will go back and lead someone to kill him!”

When Li Jue heard Zhang Ji at first, he actually stretched out his hand to hit Dian Wuxia.Immediately, he was so angry that he interrupted Li Li's words, and stood up abruptly, intending to lead the troops to teach Zhang Ji a lesson.

Seeing Li Jue's angry and angry look, Li Li suddenly felt that he still worried too much yesterday.The kindness has softened, how could Zhang Ji and his party be let go so easily!

"Uncle, don't worry. Have you forgotten that Wuxia is not an ordinary weak woman? It is no exaggeration to say that even if Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew join forces to fight Wuxia, they are not Wuxia's opponents. So Zhang Ji did not fight Wuxia, but was defeated by Wuxia. I was taught a lesson, my nose was bruised and my face was swollen, I was so embarrassed!"

"Okay, good fight! Wuxia is really a woman who can't give up on her eyebrows. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also capable of both civil and military skills, which is rare in the world! Hahaha" Li Jue said with a hearty laugh.

After laughing, he complained to Li Li instead: "Wenchang, uncle has to say something to you. Wuxia was bullied, and you are her husband. Why didn't you teach Zhang Ji yourself, instead let Wuxia do it yourself? Fortunately Wuxia is very skilled in martial arts and can still protect herself, if she is beaten by Zhang Ji, you will probably regret it for the rest of your life!"

"Huh?" Li Li was stunned when he heard the words.

Uncle Li Jue was right, if Dian Wuxia was really slapped by Zhang Ji, Li Li would never forgive him in his life.

"Why didn't I think of this level at the time?" Li Li secretly complained that he was careless.

"Uncle's lesson is right, nephew will remember it." Thinking about something in his mind, Li Li nodded solemnly.

Immediately Li Li told Li Jue everything that happened thereafter without omission, but he didn't mention the money-raising plan, he only told what happened and nothing else was involved.

After Li Jue heard the whole story, it was his turn to be in a daze this time, looking at Li Li in a daze with dull eyes, unable to speak for a while.

Just now he was still complaining about Li Lici's soft heart and worrying too much, so he should personally take action to teach Zhang Ji a lesson.However, after he heard the ins and outs of the incident, he was shocked by his nephew Li Li's ruthless methods at every step, and he was stunned.

Li Li is really good at it!Forcibly retaining Zhang Ji's three hundred gold gift, beat Zhang Xiu half to death, detained Hu Che'er to make up for the crime, and beat Zhang Ji by the way.In the end, Zhang Ji had to kneel down pitifully and beg for mercy, gnashing his teeth and swallowing his blood. He was so embarrassed and ashamed that he couldn't say anything, so he had to leave in despair, completely admitting his failure.

After straightening out what had happened, Li Jue looked at his nephew Li Li in a daze, speechless for a long time.

However, Li Jue had to admit deep down in his heart that he was inferior to this nephew in front of him, no matter in terms of scheming or mental fortitude, he was ashamed of himself.What made him even more amazed was that Li Li had possessed so many powerful generals in less than a year, and his strength was so strong that he was really shocked.

Zhang Ji's nephew, Zhang Xiu, is superb in martial arts, and Li Jue has already seen it.Within 150 rounds, he thought he would not be able to defeat Zhang Xiu. If he wanted to completely defeat Zhang Xiu, it would take [-] rounds.

But there are so many generals among the Golden Guards around Li Li, even the unattractive Tie Tuo and Tie Xiao's father and son can defeat Zhang Xiu, and Talu can severely injure Hu Che'er with a single shot. Far above the father and son of the Tie family.

As far as Li Jue knew, the three people who made the move yesterday were just unreputable generals under Li Li's command, and their positions were only deputy commanders.The deputy commander alone has such a strong skill, so what about the eight commanders of the Wuwei Army?And Li Zhi who follows Li Li all day like a shadow, what level of martial arts will he achieve?Could it be that Li Zhi possessed superb martial arts comparable to Wen Hou Lu Bu?
