Chapter 13: Master

When Xue Rengui said the word Xiaoguo, he changed his words in time, and Li Zhi's heart moved, thinking of the strange title of Xiaoguo Army at the end of the Sui Dynasty. At the same time, I thought of Xue Litang, an imperial five-rank general, why did he deign to befriend them with a group of world soldiers who had become homeless! This in itself is abnormal.

Connecting the two things in series, Li Zhi understood, and at the same time, he felt a lot more at ease.

Xue Li is a pure soldier, and only such a person will really care about Zhuang Wuchen and their former Xiaoguo army.

In this way, it is reasonable, and it is all connected.

Li Zhi thought that Xue Li had been put in this position for many years, and Taizong lifted him high on the battlefield of Goguryeo, and after returning to Chang'an, he gently put it down, and never cared about it......

Standing in Xue Li's position, it is inevitable that he will be unwilling, he is a soldier, and he has never understood or disdained the drill camp in the officialdom, but the foundation left by Li Shimin to his son is too thick, and there are countless generals in Wenchen, his qualifications are hard, and the foundation is too shallow!

The consequence of all this is that his official position, from the eighteenth year of Zhenguan to the present, has not been saved for five or six years, and his family is also stretched thin except for the little income of the imperial court and Yongyetian.

The capital is expensive rice, and it has never been empty talk, and there are countless things about the six-rank official (equivalent to the current department level) rubbing food all year round, not to mention that he is a rootless and unsupported city gate guard!

The most expensive thing is that he also has to take care of old subordinates like Cao Chengjin who have been following.

The career is not smooth, and the money is slim, you can imagine Xue Li's predicament at this time, he has his own ambitions, he needs an opportunity, instead of boring all day long reading some specious miscellaneous books......

Li Zhi's request for help made Xue Li see a glimmer of hope, and the Xiaoguo Army became famous in a Tongshan battle with the Wagang Army! Li Mi, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin and other famous generals of the time almost survived before escaping under Xiaoguo's horse, and their combat power at their peak can be seen.

As a general, Xue Li does not care about the few soldiers, but the temperament that only belongs to the top strong army, if he can get the injection of the Xiaoguo army, then the strength that Xue Li has in his hands is likely to usher in a qualitative leap......

"Stand up, tell the old man, what's your name?"

The generals who lead the troops are probably a virtuous person, and they inadvertently use the tone of command.

"Report to the general, my name is Zhuang Buxian, and Brother Zhi is a brother in Zhuang...... My father said that the general is a rare hero, let me come over and see it! ”

Li Zhi grinned, this melon baby, I'm afraid I don't know how to write the word beaten.

"Hahaha, Brother Cao, did you hear it, Zhuang Wuchen has finally opened his mind this dog day, but he would rather eat soil than be happy with us before!"

Xue Rengui let out that night owl-like laugh again, and he was really happy to hear it, he really valued Zhuang Wuchen and the remnants of Xiaoguo!

"Okay, okay, wow, you go back and tell your father, just say you want to see, let him come by himself! Also, it's best to bring a few more good players, otherwise Lao Tzu won't be able to play well! ”

Li Zhi looked at Xue Li, who instantly became radiant, so he was not embarrassed, this means of winning people over...... It's rough!

"What about you kid, what are you rolling your eyes!"

Xue Li raised his hand and smoked, not treating himself as an outsider at all, Li Zhi deliberately parted a wooden hairpin today, and the hairpin was crooked.

"Hmph, if you dare to rely on your cleverness and not take people in your eyes, you won't be beaten to death!"

Well, in the face of a demon king-level tiger man like Xue Rengui, Li Zhi is self-aware, and it is only right to stand far away with his hair in his hands.

"The old man is idle now, and the two of you will follow the old man in the future, so that the old man can be trained well."

pointed at Li Zhi again: "Especially you, you are as thin as a hemp stick!" ”

Of course, Xue Rengui disdains to be like Zhuang Buxian, the iron and simple, today's purpose is to finalize the relationship with the Xiaoguo Army, and now that the matter has been decided, he has no heart to ink with the two juniors.

At this time, the snot boy of the Cao family came out from behind with a smile, followed by a woman with a baby in her arms, with a gentle smile, it seems that she has been eavesdropping for a long time......

Xue Li greeted him, hugged the baby, his face was full of love, there was no way, Lao Xue was middle-aged and had a child, just this one seedling!

"This young man is Brother Zhi'er, husband, the first time we met, you didn't know how to be more restrained, didn't you say yesterday that you would accept Brother Zhi as a disciple?"

The woman's eyebrows and eyes were delicate, and her forehead was smooth, and she seemed to be disgusted by her husband's recklessness, and she was happy to be taken seriously.

"Humph! The old man has this thought, but he makes this stinky boy angry, and he just owes it to clean up! ”

Li Zhi hurriedly saluted:

"Li Zhi has seen his aunt."

As he spoke, he took out a wrapped gift from Zhuang Buxian's coat and handed it to Liu with both hands.

Why don't you give Xue Li...... This is exquisite, you taste, you taste.

Liu's eyebrows smiled, and he suddenly felt that this child really knew how to be polite, and when he took it and took a look, she was even more pleased, she knew clearly how Li Zhi's family background was, and of course she wouldn't really care about the simple gifts, what she liked was Li Zhi's mind!

Only this kind of cumbersome and delicate pattern knot, everyone present has never seen it, only feel exquisite and beautiful, complicated and abnormal, can make people look forward to it at a glance, such a beautiful knot, and what kind of exquisite gifts.

Li Zhi stepped forward, personally demonstrated to Liu's, pulled out a rope, and gently pulled, the whole package was untied, and two hairy wooden sticks were lying quietly in the box, which were two toothbrushes that Li Zhi personally controlled.

After Li Zhi explained the use and effect of the toothbrush, Liu couldn't put it down, and he loved Li Zhi even more.

Li Zhi took the opportunity to talk about the fact that the woman in Zhuangzi was preparing the toothbrush business, to see if the aunt was interested in making some money.

Liu carefully listened to Li Zhi's sales design and simple business plan, nodded from time to time, and completely recognized this young man in his heart.

In the end, when Li Zhi shouted "Auntie" again, she twitched her head lightly and heavily, and said angrily: "Silly boy, don't change your words!" ”

Li Zhi glanced at Lao Xue, who didn't have much sense of existence, and hurriedly changed his words: "Master! ”

Liu Shi took out a jade ornament from his arms: "This is what your master prepared for you." ”

Li Zhi swept his eyes and felt that it was valuable, and hurriedly wanted to return it.

"As the old saying goes, the elders give it, don't dare to resign, Brother Zhi just don't disappoint your master!"

Cao Chengjin interjected at the right time, he couldn't see there, the general and his wife really liked Li Zhi, of course he was happy to see it, Li Zhi was equivalent to what he discovered, can he not be close to his side?

Li Zhi did not hesitate any longer, and respectfully bowed and thanked Xue Li and the Liu family.

After that, Liu even instructed Li Zhi to choose a good day with his father after returning home, send a worship post in advance, and wait for the auspicious time to come, and then officially visit the master.

Li Zhi wrote down one by one that this kind of thing must be approved by parents, and apprenticeship is not a trivial matter at this time.

After the Liu family was busy here, he left here with the child in his arms.

Xue Li was very happy in his heart, so he left a few people to eat, and during the banquet:

"It seems that your master likes you tightly, and now that your body has not healed, the teacher has a request for you, eat well, take care of your body first, don't be like a girl, a gust of wind can blow away!"
