Xue Chong in the front said without looking back: "Good staff officer, the Korean team is far inferior to you in terms of troop formation, but when it comes to eyesight, you lose to Han Kai."
"Haha, those three young men behind are all fearless knights." Han Kai said with a smile.
"How can you tell?" Liang Chong was stunned.
"It's very simple. The prince-in-law asked the six of us to block the door. Do you believe in your strength or mine? Do you expect Captain Xue to scare off the wedding team? Those old buddies from Zuo Jun are all late-stage shield-breaking knights, and they are not fearless. It's hard to suppress the Cavaliers.
The young people at the back are not as senior as us, and they are not older than us. Why were they appointed as captains by the clan? They must be stronger than us. Have any of you ever seen the prince-in-law lose a battle? Think about how he looked when he set the rules. Hehe." Han Kai observed very carefully.
"Then how do you know that all three of them are fearless knights?" Liang Chong was still unconvinced.
"Attitude! They struggled for a while when they stood. At first, no one had the intention to give in, which shows that their strength is very close."
The fact that Han Kai can serve as the second captain after Xue Chong shows that he has a lot of skills, one of which is observation.
He is good at distinguishing between strong and weak and putting himself in a favorable position. This time he took refuge with Ding Kui and had a drinking contest with his colleagues. This is an example of this.
The three Shaodian disciples looked at each other with expressions of admiration.
In the main hall, Shaodian Luan, who was fully dressed as a princess, was pouring tea for Ding Kui and said in his mouth: "Why did you send people to block the door? What if you delay the time to pick up Ding Xiao? You are already busy enough, you And you’re causing trouble for me.”
"As the new earl, I have to set some new rules. It's not that easy to marry a girl from the Ding family. I have to be more or less a match, I have to be able to fight, and at least I have to be able to protect my wife."
"I'm afraid it's not that simple. If I remember correctly, you pinched your chin when you set this rule. Every time something came to your mind, you would take more detours. Is there any other purpose?"
"Oh, the one who knows me is my wife." Ding Kui gave his daughter-in-law a wink, "That Hou Bing didn't come, so there will inevitably be some gossip, so I have to show some strength.
There are not only masters like Brother Yu around me, but the older generation can be hidden, and the outstanding ones of the younger generation should be exposed, and at the same time, give those three people a chance."
"Why don't I understand that those three captains are your people?"
"They are my subordinates. They work on my territory. Their life and death are in my hands. Who else can they be if they are not mine?"
"Humph, they are loyal to the royal family and their duty is to safeguard the interests of the royal family. I have priority over you in commanding." Shao Diianluan was unhappy with Ding Kui's proud look.
"Oh, even you are mine, will others treat you and me separately? Don't be stupid, being loyal to me in Juyang City is equivalent to being loyal to the royal family."
At this time, the hall was full of Ding Kui's confidants, and he spoke without any scruples.
"If the county guard doesn't come, if you demonstrate to them, will others say you are narrow-minded?" Shao Dianluan mocked Ding Kui from a different angle.
"It's not just a demonstration to Hou Bing, but also to Cao, Meng, Ji and other forces in Nanzhao Prefecture. Don't mess with me easily. My temper is not very good. People can say whatever they like. , the eldest princess has already married into the family, what should I be afraid of?"
At this time, Ding Cai walked into the hall with a smile.
"Sir, madam, the wedding procession was blocked outside the door. Now we have to drink the ten bottles of wine. Even the groom's officer is on the battle."
"Haha, those three boys are very hardworking. Not bad, they can be trained." Ding Kui patted the handle of the chair, a little excited.
"Brother Fei, the look in the eyes of the big black guy and the others next to you is a bit special. Did you strike too hard just now?" Shao Diancheng approached Shao Dianfei and asked.
Shao Dianfei shook his head and said: "No, I just pointed out that those few should be the contestants of the same knight competition as me. Judging from the clothes, they should be the direct subordinates of Lord Captain."
"The 201st Division is indeed an elite force. Although I can defeat those captains, I probably won't be able to take advantage on the battlefield." Shao Dianye recalled the encounter just now with fear.
"Yes, they are not practicing competitive skills. Four or five people can stop me if they work together. One-on-one combat is not their strong point." The champion of the Knights Competition completely put aside his intention to look down on his opponent.
"Therefore, we must be more open-minded and ask for advice from our seniors. Being the captain of a royal outpost is no big deal. If we lead a thousand men each against each other, we will definitely lose." Shao Dianfei felt the bravery of the veterans on the battlefield.
The turmoil in front of the lord's mansion quickly dissipated, and Feng Liang still got his wish and took Ding Xiao back. In the house he bought, he paid homage to the bride under the witness of the eldest princess, and married Ding Xiao into the family.
Before the wedding banquet started in the evening, a group of Ding Kui's aides became hot topics. Today's second wave of violence came, and the businessmen attending the wedding banquet tried their best to find out about the tax exemption in Giant Sheep City.
Several guards of the Protectorate who pretended to be buyers were heavily surrounded, their robes were torn open, and many merchants competed to make quotations to them.
Ding Kun was the only high-ranking person in the lord's mansion who was not surrounded by anyone. It should be said that no one dared to approach him.
"Young Master, this plan is going well. However, your funds are a bit tight to buy so many supplies at once. Do you want to use the money that the Lord's Mansion has sealed before?" The old housekeeper discovered a hidden worry.
"No, the money needs to be used for river bank defense. I'll think about the funding issue later."
Ding Kui discovered that money was needed in all aspects. While the territory brought benefits, it also brought a lot of baggage. The military was a big spender.
The fastest way to make money is real estate. Now, unlike before, I have a large area of land that can be used for transactions. I have to put some effort into getting some real estate projects.
After becoming a lord, his avenues for making money became much broader, which was obviously different from the empty-handed white wolf before.
His thoughts were pulled back when the dinner started. Seven or eight captains of the 201st Division were surrounding him, and ten maids were busy pouring wine.
The wine competition depends on the amount of alcohol and the number of people. Han Kai and Liang Chong were quickly poured down before they even approached the main table, leaving only Ding Kui and Xue Chong.
"Don't even ask Captain Xue to drink. Come, come, line up, and come one by one. I will accompany everyone to have a good time today. No one can leave without having a drink."
Ding Kui took off his robe and threw it to Shao Dian Luan. He lifted up a wine jar with his toes, patted the mud seal off and put it in his hand. He looked like a man fighting against the crowd alone.
"Come on, your dirty tricks have been exposed today. I'll go first!" Zuo Jun also came forward with a jar of wine in his hands.
