Chapter 405 The Thousand People Banquet

Xian Enzhuo's eyes were filled with uneasiness, but Wei Feng could roughly guess Xian Jin's thoughts. It is unlikely to say that he has malicious intentions. First, he has no resentment, not to mention that he has saved his second son. Second, his killing will not only do him any good, but will lead to crazy revenge.

Huajin is mostly about considering one's sincerity, and the standard of sincerity is whether one has the courage to go. In fact, to this day, some ethnic minorities in the south are still very simple. If you think you are generous and courageous, you will treat you as a good friend!

Wei Feng just thought for a flash and laughed: "Okay, since your father has invited you, then Ming Japan will go with you. I heard that Lizhai was a cave opened on the mountain. I was very curious, hahahaha~~"

"General..." Wang Daolian was still waiting for persuasion, but Wei Feng waved his hand and said, "I am in the same sympathy as Enzhuo, and I am loyal to each other. How could he harm me? Don't persuade me."

The dozen slang people who came with Xian Enzhuo all showed admiration, and Xi Enzhuo also gave a deep bow with gratitude: "The general is so heroic. Enzhuo is very lucky to be able to follow the wise master. Please rest assured that the general and the two girls will never be able to do anything wrong with this trip!"

Wei Feng smiled slightly and said, "Xian Enzhuo, I know your father has no malice. Come and follow me into the city first. There are more than 300 members of your tribe in the city. If you see them, let's set off immediately tomorrow morning!"

"Abide by the order!" Xian Enzhuo completely placed himself in his subordinate position. After taking the ceremony, he followed Wei Feng into the mountain city.

The mountain city was built against the mountain. Xian Enzhuo was led by Wei Feng to visit. The original Lijia Mountain City had an endless revenge with the Xian family, but today it has transformed into Yangxi County. The Li family was criticized by Wei Feng for treason and the three tribes. From a young child who was learning to a white-bearded old man in his sixties or seventies, thousands of people were killed. This made Xian Enzhuo feel deeply moved.

In fact, Wei Feng didn't accompany him for too long. Because Wei Che still took office in the future, there are many government affairs that must be handled by himself. Although they are trivial matters, they are very complicated.

In the evening of that day, Wei Feng held a banquet to entertain Xian Enzhuo and his party. The next morning, he brought one hundred personal guards and a hundred female Yasha each, and prepared gifts for more than ten carts. More than 300 Li people and Xian Enzhuo were heading towards Yunkai Mountain. Although it was only a few dozen miles away, it was muddy and slippery. It was not until the evening that he arrived at the Xian Family Li Village.

During the time of Lizhai, from around the liberation, there was a commonly known name called Goulang Village. Although hundreds of people gathered near the village gate, both men and women, all dressed in costumes, and about 200 young men and women each carried a bronze drum, Wei Feng saw at first sight that on the stone walls on both sides of the simple village gate made of thick wood, there was a large dog-headed figure painted on each of the stone walls on both sides of the simple village gate. His eyes were fierce and grinning, holding a bronze drum in one hand and holding a spear, fierce and realistic!

Wei Feng looked away at a glance, and Xian Enzhuo introduced at the right time: "General, the one standing in front is Enzhuo's father, and behind him is the elder brother Xian Enyue. The others are the elders of the clan and the masters of the major caves."

"Come on, let's go quickly!" Wei Feng nodded and accelerated his pace.

Before they could walk a few steps, nearly a hundred men and women had already spread out to the side of the road and arranged in two rows, and they used their skills together to hit the bronze drum. Although the movements were simple, the drum beats were neat and consistent.

In the rhythmic drum beats, Xian Enzhuo introduced: "General, this is the highest welcoming ceremony for my slang people, called "Hundred Drums and Welcome Guests. What do you think?"

Wei Feng smiled sincerely and said, "As soon as I came to Guangzhou, I heard about the reputation of Li Ren's bronze drums. Today I heard that the drum beats are crisp and desolate, symbolizing the long history of Li Ren's people and their simple and brave character are indeed well-deserved!"

"Hahahaha~~" As soon as Wei Feng finished speaking, a long laugh came from the opposite side. A middle-aged man came out and bowed and laughed: "General Wei is young and promising. It takes no effort to pacify the three counties of fortresses. The future is unlimited. I, Xian Jin, thank General Wei for saving his dog son first!"

Wei Feng quickly stepped forward and replied, "Everyone said that a tiger father has no dog son. When I saw the son four months ago, I often wondered what a heroic figure the Lord Xian would be. When I saw him today, it was really eye-catching. I already had a premonition that Lord Xian would not disappoint me. Now I prepare some small gifts, and I hope Lord Xian will not refuse!"

Wei Feng’s gifts were only three, grain, silk, and salt. For the lie people, salt was a shortage. Because the mountainous areas did not produce salt, they could only buy it from the Jin people at the foot of the mountain at a high price.

Xian Jin did not refuse at all, and smiled happily: "General Wei's kindness, I thanked me for my slang first. Come on, please introduce me..."

Starting from the eldest son Xian Enyue, Xian Jin introduced the people behind Wei Feng one by one. Wei Feng returned the gifts in kindly. It was not until it was dark that he was introduced into the village. Rosin torches were lit on both sides of the winding mountain road, and curious slang people gathered in the distance to watch.

Although Wei Feng was always smiling and talking to Xian Jin, he was secretly shocked. He had originally expected that Lizhai was easy to defend but difficult to attack, but when he saw it, he immediately realized that his idea was too simple. Yunkai Mountain did not have too high peaks overall, but the mountains were surrounded by mountains, continuous. Moreover, because it was located in Lingnan, the vegetation was extremely dense, and to be unbearable, he had nowhere to start if he wanted to attack.

During the conversation, we had arrived at a large square on the hillside, about a thousand feet in a radius. The bonfires were covered with bonfires, which made the sky look bright. There were bonfires and large tables mixed with bonfires. Around the table were more than 300 stools made of tree trunks. A rough count was that there were more than 300 tables, and the tables were filled with fine wine and food, mainly various meat foods, such as roasted pigs, dog meat, etc. The square was surrounded by thousands of men and women, and there were children holding children. Obviously, a dinner party for Wei Feng would be held here.

The personal guards and the female yakshas were both in love, and thousands of people sat together for dinner. Except for the military camp, it was impossible to see them elsewhere. However, even the military camps used separate meals, while the slang people put pigs and dogs on the table, and they obviously formed a table to eat together.

Unlike the surprise of everyone behind him, Wei Feng felt a little intimate. Isn’t this the flowing mat placed in the village in his previous life?

"Papapapapapa~~" Xian Jin suddenly slapped a few times. When the noise stopped, he called out loud: "My fellow villagers in the village, today I have invited a distinguished guest for you. He is the sacred fortress of Gaoliang, Xinning and Jinkang County, and is willing to get along with us Li people and lead us Li people out of the mountains. Welcome everyone!"

"Oh oh oh ~~" the slang waved his sword spear and shouted loudly, while those who were not armed waved their arms, their faces full of excitement.

For a moment, the square was hustle and bustle. Wei Feng raised his arms and smiled. In fact, his smile had been frozen. He had been laughing since he went up the mountain. He was still facing so many people, and no one could bear it!

After a while, Xian Jin pressed his hands and stopped the noise again. Then he called out: "It's already dark, and the birds and beasts have returned to the nest, but our feast has just begun. Now, let us welcome General Wei to the table with grand etiquette!"

"Dongdongdongdongdong~~" The bronze drum sounded again. Unlike the gate of the village, it was accompanied by the vigorous blowing of the gourd sequel. Wei Feng was naturally welcomed to the head, and Zhang Ning, Wang Daolian and other personal guards and mother Yasha were also welcomed elsewhere. Thousands of lie people outside the venue entered the table. After all, Xian Jin raised his glass and smiled: "The food in Lizhai is simple, General Wei, don't dislike it. Come on, our lie people will give you a cup first!"

Two young and pretty girls from the Li family who were sitting around Wei Feng picked up a wine glass, and the other smiled and poured a large glass of wine. The wine glass was made of bamboo tubes, about the height of a palm. This cup was at least half a pound!

Wei Feng took the wine glass and shouted: "Okay! I have seen all the enthusiasm of the slang people. It is better to do it first than to say a thousand words. Please, everyone!" As he said that, he tilted his throat and drank it all in one go!

Then a girl took a soft cloth to wipe off the wine from her mouth. Her movements were gentle and careful. Although the girl's skin was not very white and her body did not deliberately apply spices, her fingertips had a fresh and natural breath unique to the mountains. Wei Feng sniffed it gently and then praised: "Good wine!"

"Hahahaha~~" Xian Jin laughed and said, "General Wei is so good to drink. Come on, everyone drink together to respect General Wei!"

Thousands of people raised their glasses together, and the scene was extremely lively. In addition to the two drink-accompanied girls, there were also important figures of the Xian family led by Xian Jin. They put down the glass and did not move their chopsticks, but looked at one of the women at the same time.

The woman from the Li family picked up the knife and pressed a mature dog quickly. After a few strokes, she cut the dog's head down and handed it on her, "General Wei, please use the dog's head!"

Wei Feng was a little surprised. Inviting someone to eat a dog's head? Can dog's head be eaten? But then he thought, since Lizhai is commonly known as Goulang Village and the totem is also a human body of a dog's head, it must be closely related to the dog. There is no need to say much about the meaning of the dog's head. Obviously, Lizhai is expressing surrender to himself in their unique way.

In fact, in the long civilization of 5,000 years, in addition to the Li people, all tribes in the Central Plains mainly ate dogs. Before the Song Dynasty, the consumption of dog meat was steadily inferior to pork. The reason for this is probably that dogs are easy to raise, local dogs are not picky about food, and obedient. They are released during the day, run around the mountains and fields, and know that they are going home by themselves at night. Some powerful dogs may even be able to bring a rabbit back.
