Li Dejiang's face changed slightly, and he blurted out subconsciously and asked, "Where is my mother?"
After receiving the news from his servant that his mother was also coming, Li Dezhang breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Weigong and his wife came together, and the juniors who were eating and drinking naturally did not dare to neglect, and they all came out of the hall to greet him.
Not long after, they saw Li Jing, the gray-haired military god of the Tang Dynasty, arriving side by side with the red lady in rolled-up red clothes, who looked like a Lingtian fairy.
The Wu Xun disciples, all red in the face and swollen from drinking, respectfully saluted and greeted the couple.
Li Jing first glanced at Li Dejiao, his biological son, and then showed a kind smile towards Cheng Sanlang and his nephews.
"Okay, okay, don't be polite, get up quickly, this kid has just come back, you good brothers come here to help him."
"De award, greet them well. I and your mother have to go and see your good grandson."
When Li Dejiang heard this, he couldn't help but feel relieved. He nodded and bowed and personally sent his father and mother over.
"Um... well, don't follow me anymore. Go and accompany your friends. However, you can drink. Don't drink too much, or you'll be careful about your skin."
Seeing his calm father uttering threatening words, Li Dejiao quickly nodded and made a few words of assurance.
At this time, the red lady who had been silent stretched out her hand to straighten Li De's clothes and took two steps back with satisfaction.
"Where are the good things you said you brought back for your father?"
Li Dejiang slapped his head, and then he thought of this. He was planning to present the baby to his biological father.
When he saw his biological son who had just returned to the Tang Dynasty, he was so excited about it that he forgot all the serious matters as soon as he twisted his buttocks.
Li Jing's face darkened, and he stroked his long beard and said sadly.
"Looking at him like that, I'm afraid he would have forgotten it long ago after just two ounces of yellow soup."
"No, no, no, my child. How dare you forget this? It's just over there in the backyard. My child will take you there."
Fortunately, the red lady is far more considerate of her own son than her husband, so she returned her hand and held her husband's big hand, and waved towards Li Dexuan.
"That's all, you can accompany your friend, while mother and your father will go."
#####
"You, you always protect him like this." Li Jing couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Li Dejiao who turned around and left.
The red lady turned her head and looked at her husband with a sweet smile.
"Erlang reunites with his friend after a long absence. He can't let his friend wait in vain. Husband, let's go."
The couple strode forward, and there were no outsiders at the moment. Li Jing naturally did not need to continue using a cane to pretend to be old, and he was also walking quickly.
"Husband, what kind of gift do you think he can bring back?" the red lady asked with a smile.
Seeing Erlang return unscathed made her feel good. This boy had already told his mother what gift he was going to give to his biological father.
I brought my husband here today, not only to let him come and experience the surprise, but also to be curious, is there really such a tall and majestic mount as Erlang described?
Li Jing stroked his long beard and smiled. Seeing that his wife was so interested, he spoke in a cooperative manner.
"I don't know about this husband, maybe it's some novel gadget.
Is it possible that he can go to Jiaozhou with him and get back something as good as the rice from Zhancheng that benefits the country and the people?"
"Husband, please don't forget, whether we, Erlang, are going to Jiaozhou or to that country in the far west, whose instigation did we receive?"
After hearing this, Li Jing's face suddenly darkened and he gritted his teeth viciously.
"Of course I know very well, who else can there be other than that demon moth Cheng Sanlang."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jing looked thoughtfully at his loving wife who was smiling.
"It seems that the lady already knows what the gift is?"
"I only heard a few words from Erlang. I don't know whether they are true or false, so I specially share the reward with my husband today."
The couple chatted while walking, and soon they arrived near the backyard.
Even across the courtyard wall, you can already hear the sound of horses neighing and stamping inside.
Li Jing couldn't help but be startled. Just listening to the noise, there must be at least dozens of horses inside, right?
Where did this boy get so many horses? Could it be that he brought a group of good horses from the far west for his kind old father?
With this thought in his mind, Li Jing couldn't help but quicken his pace. Soon, when he pushed open the courtyard door, his rapid steps suddenly froze.
What did he see? He saw a large open space in the backyard, where there were at least hundreds of horses.
Every horse looks so tall and burly. In comparison, the horses in Guan Nei are probably a full size smaller.
The red lady on the side couldn't help but look shocked, and she let out a low cry of disbelief.
"There are actually such tall and majestic horses? There are actually so many..."
"This, this is the gift that boy gave me?" Li Jing's eyes tended to turn red.
As the military god of the Tang Dynasty, he has been on the battlefield for his whole life. Even now, he wakes up in the middle of the night and is still a veteran.
Li Jing knew very well how important excellent war horses are to a country's army, especially its elite cavalry.
This is why during the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty frequently went on expeditions to the west, not just because he was eager to obtain a large number of good horses.
In this way, the Han cavalry became more powerful.
Even now, although there are many pastures and places to raise horses in the Tang Dynasty, a large amount of money is still spent every year to purchase horses from Persian traders who come from afar.
An excellent Dawan horse was worth thousands of dollars in the Tang Dynasty.
There were more than a hundred horses in front of them, and they were very tall and strong, yet still had smooth lines.
Li Jing realized that a good horse with this kind of physique could definitely bring the combat effectiveness and defensive power of the elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty to a new level.
Not far away, Li Bao, who was checking on the horses' feeding situation, also hurried over and bowed respectfully to the master and his wife.
"Where did you get so many good horses?" Li Jing grabbed Li Bao and asked.
Seeing this rare gaffe, Li Bao couldn't help but feel happy and quickly explained.
"Our second son bought this from the Frankish Kingdom in the far west. We spent a lot of money and exchanged our own mounts with the local nobles for it."
"Ninety-eight of them are females and fifteen are male. Currently, twenty-five of those mares are already pregnant."
"These horses are more tolerant of coarse food than Dawan horses, and they are also very strong. In the Frankish Kingdom, they are all used for riding or drafting horses."
