Chapter 536

Anyway, acknowledging one is the same as acknowledging a hundred.

Thinking of the eighteen foster sons of Luo Cheng, the Governor of Youzhou,

and the thirteen foster sons, the Thirteen Taibao, of the Mountain-Supporting King Yang Lin,

and the legendary general Lan Yu, who had no fewer than 1,000 foster sons, so many that Lan Yu couldn't even remember his own sons' names!

These fierce men all had numerous foster sons under their command.

It is evident that taking in more foster sons has no downsides, but rather many benefits.

Therefore, he gladly accepted.

[547] Summoning over ten thousand troops! The great cause of rebellion is even more promising (3)

Lou Shi was instantly overjoyed!

Regarding this, she was naturally one hundred and ten thousand percent willing.

Having a foster father Love Love Like Jia Hui as a backer,

isn't that better than being an ordinary relative of the Rongguo Prefecture, which was gradually declining and even ordinary people could see the gap?

Her voice even trembled, "That's great, that's great, my son, why don't you hurry and kowtow three times to your foster father?"

Jia Jun was obedient.

He hurriedly knelt down on both knees.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

Three loud kowtows!

His forehead was even bruised.

Jia Hui smiled.

Immediately, he led them to the main hall.

Qin Qin Keqing and the other women who were at home all came to observe the ceremony.

In addition, trusted subordinates Love Love Like Jia Xu and Zhao Yun were also present.

Actually, if they wanted it to be more grand and formal,

they could have invited other guests on another day.

But since Li Wan and the others were so impatient,

it didn't really matter.

He would just introduce them to his friends in the officialdom later.

"The child pays respects to Foster Father!!"

Finally, Jia Lan and Jia Jun,

both little ones bowed respectfully to Jia Hui.

Then they offered a cup of tea to Jia Hui.

After Jia Hui drank it,

it was considered that he had officially accepted the two as his foster sons.

[Congratulations to the Master, successfully accepted Jia Lan and Jia Jun as foster sons, rewarded with five hundred soldiers]

A pretty good harvest!

Come to think of it,

his own troops,

after half a year of harvests!

With these five hundred,

his loyal elite troops had officially broken the ten thousand mark!

No, actually, they had already broken the ten thousand mark in the last few days.

The details are as follows!

A total of 11,518 subordinates!

Specifically, 2,118 cavalry!

6,000 infantry!

2,000 naval soldiers!

1,400 in special agencies.

This was still after the previous interception of Miaoyin Pavilion, Mei Changsu, and others,

when quite a few were killed by Meng Zhi's men.

Plus other missions that led to losses.

Even with a portion of the men lost!

Otherwise, there would be more.

How should one describe this force?

Compared to the Great Great Great Qian with its million-strong army, it could be said it wasn't much.

But it wasn't too little either.

And these were all elites.

Especially the cavalry units.

They were all elites among elites.

Just the 118 Great Snow Dragon Riders

were enough to rival an army of 120,000!

Jia Hui was confident.

Under the command of his fierce generals, who were as numerous as clouds, these elites of his

were enough to exert their combat power to the fullest.

He was confident that he could win a battle against an army of 200,000!

If he could seize the opportunity of the battle,

and defeat them one by one,

the combat power exerted would be even more impressive.

In addition,

Jia Hui calculated that in the Military Affairs Department and the Flying Wolf Camp, there were still over ten thousand indigenous troops!

Lu Bu, Zhou Yu, and others now commanded over ten thousand troops in total.

"This force is enough for a large-scale legion battle."

"Even a battle against the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Divine Capital!"

A flash of brilliance appeared in Jia Hui's eyes.

However, he still had to be steady.

After all, the Great Great Great Qian had over a million troops.

He still had to continue accumulating strength!

After the spring, he would increase the power of his subordinates.

With military power in his hands,

rebellion would be as easy as drinking tea, watching a play, and listening to a song!

Settling his mood,

his smile became even brighter, and he said to them: "From now on, Xu Si Zhun is the eldest brother, Jia Lan is the second, and Jia Jun is the third."

Then Jia Hui gave them each a gift.

Jia Lan’s was a book.

Jia Jun’s was a sword.

Both were treasures.

For example, the book was the unique copy of "Meng De's New Book."

It was the only copy in the world.

However, the one given to Jia Lan was a printed copy.

The original was in Jia Hui's hands.

And the sword was also a precious sword.

Because the personalities of these two

were the same as the two Xu Si Zhun brothers,

one introverted and one extroverted, one civil and one martial, complementing each other perfectly.

As for Xu Si Zhun, Jia Hui had already given him many gifts before.

"Thank you, Foster Father!"

After receiving the treasures, Jia Lan and Jia Jun thanked him with emotion and excitement.

Li Wan and Lou Shi were so happy they couldn't speak, smiling at each other.

The most envious one was Xu Si Zhun’s younger brother, Xu Si Yu.

Seeing that all his best friends and partners had become Jia Hui’s foster sons, while he alone was left out?

You ask him how he felt?

Later, seeing Jia Hui, the dignified Marquis Marquis Wushuang Bo, actually taking the little ones to the courtyard to play,

teaching them hopscotch,

throwing sandbags,

dropping handkerchiefs,

and other games from Jia Hui’s childhood,

Xu Si Yu had a great time playing.

And then he felt even more sour!

Jia Hui didn't notice, or wasn't deliberately doing this to Xu Si Yu.

He was just taking the opportunity to reminisce about his childhood.

Playing these old games with the children,

he was quite happy!

"They really look Love Love Like father and son..."

This left Lou Shi and the others, who were drinking tea and watching from afar, deeply moved.

Li Wan was also excited; she liked this very much!

It looked Love Love Like a family!

Jia Hui was just Love Love Like their biological father.

No.

He might even be better than most fathers.

After all, the fathers of this era

were very strict and serious in front of their sons.

Xu Xu Xu Lingyi and his Love Love Like were typical examples.

The children couldn't feel much warm fatherly love.

Therefore, someone Love Love Like Jia Hui was very rare.

And very precious!

So Li Wan and Lou Shi and the others cherished and felt fortunate for this.

Seeing Lou Shi Love Love Like this, Li Wan unconsciously recalled Suyun’s previous words.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Consequently, Li Wan bit her lip.

Then she said to Jia Hui and the others: "Yichuan, let them play by themselves; I have something to discuss with you, can you come over for a moment?"

Jia Hui didn't suspect anything: "Okay."

Immediately, he smiled at the four little ones: "I've already taught you, so you can play by yourselves now."

"Yes, Foster Father!"

Jia Lan and the others responded with respectful and happy smiles.

"What do you want to see me about?"

Jia Hui walked a distance with Li Wan to a quiet path and asked.

Accompanying them

was also Lou Shi, who was in such close proximity to Jia Hui for the first time, with few people around.

Li Wan walked silently toward the direction of the Tianxiang Building.

Without opening her lips, she said softly, "Lou Shi is here for the first time and has never been to the Tianxiang Building. I want to take her to experience it. Just as Lan'er and the others say, good brothers should know how to share, so good sisters should also share."

The first half of the sentence was said to Jia Hui.

The second half was said to Lou Shi.

In an instant,

Jia Hui and Lou Shi understood immediately, and they were on the same page!

[548] Returning to the Tianxiang Building! Xu Si Yu: Mother, as long as I become the Marquis Marquis Wushuang Bo’s son, no one will dare to bully you.

After all, Li Wan’s move was too unusual.

Jia Jia Yuanchun, Seeing Seeing Fengjie, and the others wanted to follow,

but were all gently turned away by Li Wan.

And it was only this morning that she had enjoyed the view with him at the highest point of the Tianxiang Building.

Jia Hui was no idiot; he understood immediately.

And although Lou Shi didn't know that the Tianxiang Building was the best place for the two of them to enjoy the scenery together,

and have fun together,

she did know that Li Wan and Jia Hui had a story.

Deliberately bringing her along,

her heart was pounding, how could she not let her imagination run wild?

She was a bit at a loss.

Should she leave?

But her child was now the Marquis Marquis Wushuang Bo’s foster son!

And,

thinking that even Li Wan was Love Love Like this, why should she be reserved?
