Chapter 187
The banquet was already set up in the hall of the Shamen Town General Mansion. Li Jing was the host in the upper position, and all the pirates and guests in Zhendonghai were on the left side of the hall, and on the right were Lin Wei, Wang Chong, Lin Wu, Zhang Hong, Li Wei and other officers in Shamen Town. In order to show their grandeur, today's banquet was very high, with each person and a desk seat. There were no tables and benches in the hall, but small tables and small tables, and they sat in a soft cushion.
A group of dancers were specially arranged to dance in the hall. Behind the curtain, there was a group of musicians playing the pipa and beating the drums, and there were singing sings beside them to cheer them up. A group of young maids walked through the banquets in the hall like flowers and butterflies, serving tea and water to everyone, pouring wine and serving dishes.
In addition to the men, there were many female guests at the banquet today. On the Pirates, Meghan was wearing a tight leather outfit and Julie, dressed in full dress, next to the four bosses. On the Salmon Town, Li Jing also brought his wife Gui Niang and Wan'er out today, and placed them next to him one by one. It can be seen that Gui Niang and Wan'er were both nervous about Li Jing's arrangement but were full of surprises.
In addition, there are only Lin Wei and Zhang Hong who have married married and have wives in Shamen Town, but both of them are quite old-fashioned and did not bring their wives to the scene today. On the contrary, Li Huier, Yu Youniang and Xiao Yulou seem to be deliberately competing with Meghan and others. They come uninvited, and they are all dressed up in a gorgeous dress. They are wearing many jewelry on their heads, flowery ornaments on their foreheads, silk on their arms, and palace belts on their belts. Fortunately, the three women did not have the scary makeup on their faces, otherwise Li Jing would definitely drive them out. In addition to these three women, Wang Yueying also came with them.
The chef at the banquet today was Li Jing who specially borrowed her private chef from Mrs. Xiao, and served them one by one famous dish in Jiangnan and Huaiyang. The white beards, the pirates who had been floating in the Liaohai for decades, were very eye-opening. They were colorful, full of colors, fragrance and taste, and were more exquisite and beautiful than the dishes commonly eaten in the north. Especially after being paired with the new product Wuliangye liquor in Shamen Town, these pirates ignored the only remaining image. Drinking Husse in the sea was like a starving ghost reincarnation.
The halfway through the banquet, the pirates also ate all the dishes from the first round and drank enough wine. Li Jing stood up and said, "The Bai family and the other leaders can bring their brothers to my Shamen Town as a guest. This is an infinite honor for us to wait! Come, let us wish you all the guests who came!"
Everyone in Shamen Town responded, and Lin Wei and Wang Chong and other civil and military officials nodded and stood up, raising their glasses high.
The white beard was flushed and half drunk. He laughed and said, "We are all rough people who don't understand the rules. When we come, we are worried that it will cause inconvenience to Brother Ji Yu and other brothers. It hasn't been long since I went to the island, but I really feel the enthusiasm of all my brothers. I've done it!"
Everyone toasted together and drank it all in one go!
Next, the second wave of food and drinks came up. After a round of drinking, the two sides, which had already started to catch each other, began to compete for the wine. Li Jing, Lin Wei, Lin Wu, and Wang Chong became a four brothers who were a white beard, yellow beard, red beard and black beard. Li Huier, Yu Youniang, Xiao Yulou, and Wang Yueying were the only ones who were looking for, and the four people directly picked Meghan and Julie. The hall was very lively and noisy.
The relationship between Zhendonghai and Li Jing was quite strange before. Although it was an alliance, it was never directly stated who was in the alliance's initiative. Before that, the pirates just regarded Li Jing as their way out and did not really take Li Jing, a yellow boy, seriously. But after the Battle of Cat Island, they changed a lot about Li Jing. Especially Whitebeard's heart was very changed. If it weren't for this, they had only joined forces with Li Jing to fight one battle, and it would never be possible that nearly 3,000 pirates in Zhendonghai, all of them came to Shamen Town, Dengzhou. That was too risky. If Li Jing sold them, they would not have to resist.
After arriving in Shamen Town, they had a great impact from the moment they went to the island. Looking at the fortresses, teams of uniform costumes and neat steps, they realized that it turned out that Li Jing was not the only two hundred people who could fight, but there were too many people who could fight. Li Jing was not only supported by noble people, but also had real strength. His strength was even above Zhendonghai, a force with more than 20 years.
The jar of wine was opened, and as time passed, the atmosphere in the hall reached **. The pirates in the Donghai town and the officers in Shamen Town had already begun to call each other brothers, just like to kill chicken heads and burn yellow paper to officially become sworn brothers.
Li Huier and four women bullied the masses and dealt with Meghan. But in the end, they couldn't hold on to the first one. The four women drank three, but Wang Yueying was better. Li Jing had to let Gui Niang, Wan'er and Wang Yueying help each other, and help the three people back.
"How is it, is it okay?" Li Jing looked at Meghan and the others and fucked three of them. They were like nothing. Except for the slightly red face and the more charming they had, it was impossible to tell that they had just drunk a full bucket of wine.
"What can we do? Your little lovers are all lying down." Megan giggled.
"But don't talk nonsense. That princess with golden branches and jade leaves, and the cousin of the current emperor. The other two are not simple either. One is the daughter of the two defenders, uncles or the prime minister of the current dynasty. The other is the precious daughter of the Xiao family, the largest aristocratic clan in Jiangnan. No matter which one is, you can't deal with it if you are really anxious." Li Jing said with a smile.
"Otherwise, they can't afford to offend us, what about the princess? So what about the prime minister's niece? We are pirates, and the laws of the Tang Dynasty cannot control us. If you are afraid of them, we are not afraid of them. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes." Julie sneered from the side.
"We can't talk about pirates anymore. From now on, you will be the ten generals and deputy ten generals of my Shamen Town fleet. You are all official troops, and you are no longer pirates."
Meghan's hand grabbed Li Jing's abdomen at some point, making him angrily. She smiled like nothing happened, and deliberately stretched out her pink tongue and licked her delicate red lips, "Seriously, where are the warships you promised to give us, the sailors, and the crew?"
"The three main warships are still under construction. The sailors and crew have recruited a group, but you still need to select them. As for the ship, don't you both have one warship? In addition, I can draw twenty speedboats for you, and a few more sea boats for you to modify. As for more, that's the matter of you two fleet commanders. I can pull out Yangtuozi Island to you as a fleet base. Just go to Zhang Bingcao directly for money and food matters in the future."
Julie suddenly said coldly: "I see there is a row of newly built houses next to the town's general's mansion, with green bricks and green tiles and small courtyards. It's very good. Megan and I each want one."
Li Jing said helplessly: "Okay, if you like a house, you will tell me again. I'll let me arrange it for you." There are 36 houses built in advance, all of which are single-family houses with green bricks and green tiles. These are specially built by Li Jing for the senior civil and military officials of Shamen Town. Before the house was built, several houses had been robbed by Li Huier and a few women, and now they are attracted by them to go for two.
When I arrived at the house, Julie still looked like an iceberg, not even the word "Xie". Li Jing was a little depressed and pulled Meghan's hand away. After these days of contact, Li Jing had some preliminary understanding of these two women. Meghan looked bold and teased, and often made bold moves. But if you really thought she was a slutty woman, then you were wrong. She could tease you, but if you wanted to eat her tofu, all you had to wait for was fist.
Julie is even more weird. She always likes to dress up extremely grandly and beautifully, but once you look at her a few more times or say something inappropriate, you will find that you will never know that her dagger is always taken out and put on your neck. It is said that Julie is not only good at playing with knives and dressing up, but her greatest ability is that she is proficient in more than a dozen kinds of vocabulary languages, such as Persian, Roman, and even Tubo, Turkic, Khitan, Silla, Bohai, Goguryeo and other foreign languages.
"Sharmony Town is a good place. I, Aye, said the boss wants to stay." Megan said suddenly.
Li Jing was stunned. Whitebeard wanted to stay. What does this mean? He stared at Megan in a daze, waiting for her words to explain later.
"You avenge me, Aye and the others who have been unable to avenge me, Aye and the others. I, Aye and the others are all very grateful to you. The boss is already in his sixties. He said he has lived a life of dying at sea and licking blood from a knife. He had thought about washing his hands before, but he didn't know what to do after he retreated. Before, it was the boss who took the initiative to contact you and proposed to join forces. He had already begun to arrange a way out." Megan put away his smile and said with a little emotion.
"Since he went to Shaman Island, he has been sighing. He said that now he has avenged his revenge, and his brothers have a good ally, you, so he doesn't have to worry about other things. He just wants to retreat and live a stable life for a few years. He thinks Shaman Island is good and wants to stay on the island."
"What should I do with the brothers in Donghai?" Li Jing asked. This matter was a bit too sudden, which made him feel a little helpless.
"Zhendonghai will give it to me Aye, and there are two uncles from the Third Head and the Fourth Head. From now on, Zhendonghai will still be a staunch ally of Shamen Town, and you will always obey your call."
"What about your father and the others' reaction?"
"My father, two uncles and many uncles support the decision of the boss. Few people who are pirates have a good ending. If you want to have a peaceful life in the boss, everyone will support him. There is still a problem. After hearing the boss's decision, they plan to move to Shaman Island to spend their old age."
