When Ruan Second came to report that there was a person at the foot of the mountain who claimed to be a relative of the Xu family, Xu Fengwu was very surprised.
"What does that person look like? What's your name?" Xu Fengwu asked Ruan the Second.
" That man looks to be in his twenties," said Second Ruan." He calls himself Liang Chengye and is from Jiangnan."”
Xu Fengwu was shocked and quickly said,""Hurry up and invite him over…Forget it, I'll personally kiss him. You go and bring him to Golden Sands Beach.”
"Yes, sir!" Seeing this, Second Ruan knew that it was most likely Xu Fengwu's relative and quickly went to fetch him.
"Why did the Livingstones suddenly come?" Xu Fengwu saw Ruan the Second leave and quickly went to inform his father.
It was impossible for Xu Fengwu to not know his family well after transmigrating for three years.
The Xu family had a small population. Although there were a few clansmen in Jeju, they had long gone beyond the five servers and did not have much contact with each other.
Xu Fengwu knew that his mother had a biological sister, who was his aunt. She married into Huai 'an, and her husband's family name was Liang. Later, the whole family moved to Chizhou in Jiangnan.
Two years ago, when this aunt's son got married, Xu Yuanzhong had gone to the Liang family. He was probably the person at the foot of the mountain.
Xu Fengwu thought that he should call him cousin!
Xu Fengwu quickly found Grand Duke Xu and explained the situation to him.
Grand Duke Xu was also surprised." It must be Chengye," he said." It's probably his grandfather's 60th birthday. He came to invite us."”
Xu Fengwu nodded and said," Father, he's already at the lake. I've asked Second Ruan to pick him up. Let's go to Golden Sands Beach now."”
Grand Duke Xu immediately tidied his clothes and said,""Let's go. Don't let them wait.”
On the Golden Sand Beach.
Liang Chengye got off the boat with a complicated expression. He had never expected that the leader of the bandits in Liangshan would be his cousin whom he had never met before.
"Hey-"
Liang Chengye didn't know what to say. He knew that his uncle's family had been forced to do so. The evil of the Northern Land Reclamation Law was no less than the Huashi Gang in Jiangnan.
However, when he heard that his cousin had entered Liang Mountain and defeated thousands of government troops twice, and even killed a regimental training commissioner and a governor, he was extremely shocked.
Liang Chengye stepped onto the Golden Sands Beach and saw a small village on both sides. There were also minions guarding the outside. All of them were tall and upright, full of morale.
Liang Chengye was secretly surprised. His grandfather and father were both military officers, and he had seen the government army before. But how could the Jiangnan government army be so mighty?
"With such a strong army on Mount Liang, it's no wonder they were able to defeat the government army twice.”Liang Chengye had thought that the Imperial Army in the north was too weak, but it seemed like he had been wrong.
At this moment, Liang Chengye saw his uncle, Xu Yuanzhong, and a handsome young man walking toward him.
"Uncle!"
Liang Chengye quickly went up to him and bowed.""How have you been?"
"How can it be considered good to have fallen to this state?”
Xu Yuanzhong sighed and pointed at Xu Fengwu.""This is your cousin."
"Little brother Xu Fengwu greets cousin!”Xu Fengwu smiled and bowed to Liang Chengye.
"We're brothers, there's no need to be so polite!"
Liang Chengye quickly helped Xu Fengwu up and said,""Cousin is indeed a talent! Uncle, you've given birth to a good son!”
"At least I wasn't angered to death by him!" Xu Yuanzhong snorted.
Liang Chengye quickly smiled." Uncle, don't be angry. I heard from others that Cousin is making a big fuss now. Wouldn't it be a good thing if the government issued an edict to appease him in the future?"”
"I hope there will be such a day." Xu Yuanzhong shook his head.
Xu Fengwu smiled and said,"This is not the place to talk. Cousin, follow me up the mountain first."”
"The guest will follow the host's instructions. Cousin, just lead the way," said Liang Chengye.”
"Cousin, please!"
Xu Fengwu and his father led Liang Chengye up the mountain. This was his personal matter, so he did not let the other leaders come.
Not long after, they arrived at Tiger Head Peak.
The brick kiln on the mountain had already started operating. Xu Fengwu had people build several small courtyards with green bricks and black tiles on Tiger Head Peak.
Not long after it was completed, Liang Chengye came over unexpectedly. Otherwise, Xu Fengwu really did not know how to entertain people in the thatched cottage.
Everyone entered the residence. After Liang Chengye paid his respects to Madam Xu, everyone sat down.
Madam Xu was overjoyed to see her nephew for the first time. She asked about her sister's condition and was relieved to know that her sister and brother-in-law were well.
"Chengye, your grandfather's 60th birthday is coming up."”
Liang Chengye nodded." That's right. My parents specially called me over to invite Uncle and his family to be their guests."”
"My Xu family is in such a state now. How can I have the face to see your parents?" Xu Yuanzhong sighed. I've prepared a congratulatory gift for you to bring back to give to your great-grandfather. I won't be going to Jiangnan this time.”
"Uncle, why do you have to say such things?" Liang Chengye hurriedly said. If you don't go, how am I going to answer to my parents?”
Xu Yuanzhong said," Just tell the truth. Your brother has made such a big scene now that he doesn't even care about the government troops. If our two families move frequently, I'm afraid it will implicate your family."”
Xu Fengwu couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"This…"
Liang Chengye didn't know what to say.
Xu Fengwu smiled and asked his father,""Father, are you really not going?"
Xu Yuanzhong snorted and did not speak.
"Alright then, I'll go with my cousin. I'll see my uncle and aunt, as well as the Liang family's great grandfather."”
" Not only that," Liang Chengye smiled." You also have a cousin."”
"Oh?"
"My father never said that," Xu Fengwu was surprised.”
"What are you going to Jiangnan for?" asked Grand Duke Xu with a dark face. Now that you've registered with the government, what if the government finds out about your identity after you go to Jiangnan?”
"Do you think Jiangnan is like Jeju where you can do whatever you want? You're my only son. If anything happens to you, who will take care of me and your mother when we die?”
Xu Fengwu smiled when he heard that. Although he usually kept a straight face, he still cared about his son.
" Father, Jiangnan is thousands of miles away," Xu Fengwu said with a smile." Who knows my identity?" To be frank, even if I go to Yuncheng County, no one might recognize me.”
The Song Dynasty was not like the 21st century. Information was far less developed. Even around Liangshan Lake, there were not many people who knew Xu Fengwu, let alone Jiangnan.
Liang Chengye quickly said," Uncle, Cousin is right. The officials in Jiangnan won't care about Jingdong. What's wrong with Uncle's family going?"”
" I'm over 50 years old," said Grand Duke Xu with a sigh." Jiangnan is so far away. I can't run anymore." Besides, I don't have the face to see your parents.”
"But Chengye has personally come to invite Old Liang to his birthday celebration. It's impossible for us not to go, right?" Madam Xu said with a frown.”
Liang Chengye scratched his head." If Uncle doesn't want to go, it's fine to let Cousin go."”
Xu Fengwu looked at Grand Duke Xu and asked with a smile,"Father, what do you think?"
Grand Duke Xu hesitated for a moment and said,""If you want to go, go. But be careful and call a few more of your brothers.”
Xu Yuanzhong wasn't being pretentious, but he really didn't have the face to go. He thought about how he had suddenly degenerated into a bandit from a well-to-do family. It was embarrassing to say it.
Even though Liang Shan Po had a large army, Grand Duke Xu was always on tenterhooks, afraid that Liang Shan Po would be reduced to ashes when the imperial court's army arrived.
"Since Father has said so, I'll go to Jiangnan with my cousin." Xu Fengwu said.”
