Two horses, one black and one white, galloped across the field.

The horse stepped on the grass, like a movie, breaking the silence of early spring.

Immediately there were two young men, both riding fine war horses, with broad chests, neatly trimmed mane, strong long legs, galloping and galloping, the muscles of the whole body trembling like water waves.

The two people on horseback were both dressed in bright iron armor, holding a long lance, and the cloak on their bodies was thrown behind their backs and made a hula sound.

The two horses competed.

On a grassy slope not far behind them, Cheng Yanjin stroked his beard and looked at the pair of figures with satisfaction.

"The little cub is a little out of luck."

Xue Rengui said with a smile, "Wulang is a young general who is called fierce Zhang Fei by His Majesty, and he is a leader for a while. ”

"Zhang Fei is an enemy of ten thousand people, and Bo Xian is still tender. That is, it looks like a little bit, but it has not yet experienced the real tempering of war, so it is nothing. It's a mule or a horse, and you have to pull it out to slip around. ”

Although he said so, Cheng Biting Jin's eyes were still full of praise for this grandson. Cheng Biting Jin has many sons, and naturally there are many grandsons, among his many grandchildren, his favorite is this Wulang of the third family, who looks very similar to himself when he was young, and his ability to ride a horse lance is also extremely strong.

He also likes this kid's temperament very much, although the Cheng family was already a national mansion when he was born, and the Cheng family also married Qinghe Cui, which is considered a top famous family. But this kid didn't have the slightest bit of arrogance when he was young, and he didn't have a fight with anyone.

"Rengui, it's your kid, a little blue."

"Blue is better than blue, this is a good thing, my Xue family has a successor."

"Well, Xiao Li Guang was not given by His Majesty indiscriminately, your fifth child's riding and archery skills are really powerful, and Uncle Xian will learn more from your family Chu Yu." Cheng bites the golden road.

"Boxian's horse lance is deeply inherited by the old general, and Chu Yu has to ask Boxian for advice."

The two guys are talking to me, although they are all praising each other's children, but Li Xiao on the side is very sour.

It's obvious that he is showing off his baby, and he pretends to be polite.

"Boy, what's your expression, what's the matter, dissatisfied?" Cheng bit Jin Zheng proudly, and when he turned around, he just saw Li Xiaowei's expression, and immediately said dissatisfied.

"How dare you, how dare you. Who doesn't know Brother Boxian and Brother Chu Yu, now known as the Yulin Army, one is given to Xiao Li Guang, and the other is Zhang Fei. Brother Boxian's horse lance, Brother Chu Yu's bow and arrow, those are all a must. How dare I disagree, I don't support the wall, just help the two of them, really. ”

"Yin and Yang weirdness." Cheng Yanjin snorted.

"I said you're a kid, you're smart, but sometimes you don't look like a gentleman. It's tall like this, and the face is not bad, but with this good skin, why don't you even have the courage to go to the battlefield? Shame on the ancestors! ”

Li Xiao is not convinced, you are the prince of the country, you are big, but you can't be unreasonable.

"Everyone has their own aspirations, and besides, there are hundreds of millions of people in the world, but it is impossible for everyone to go into battle to kill the enemy. There are tens of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty, but this Weifu sergeant is only hundreds of thousands, less than one hundred. If someone is a soldier, there must be someone who farms, someone who works, and someone who does business, or everyone who is a soldier, who will farm and provide grain and grass, and who will work and provide ordnance. ”

"The army has not moved, the grain and grass go first, the siege of the city is fighting, and the ordnance is important. Without food, grass, and equipment, this soldier can't eat enough to eat, and no weapons can win, right? ”

"The old man is too lazy to talk nonsense with you kid, so I'll ask you again today, do you want to go to Liaodong?"

"Don't go, don't go, I've long said I won't go. I'm the only son in the family, and now I'm the only man in the Lanxi Li family, so I have to pass on the lineage first, and then talk about it, I can't let my wife and children in her womb not see their father. ”

"It's not for you to go to Liaodong to die, you just want to be a military counselor and join the army, stay in my Chinese army account, the old man is not dead, where will you die first, what are you afraid of."

Li Xiaozhi shook his head. "The government soldiers have never summoned only sons, there is no precedent for this."

Xue Rengui said with a smile on the side, "San Lang doesn't know anything, although the government soldiers don't recruit the only son in the family, but the court summons you to be an official, and there is no such restriction on being an official." ”

Yes! Li Xiao was a little dumbfounded, he really didn't know that there was such a thing.

"You kid, the official document that recruited you is still in front of my case, as long as you say a word, if you are willing to go, then you can come and report at any time. The army was still in force until it set out on the march. Cheng Yanjin said, he is really willing to take Li Xiao, this kid, even if he only knows how to talk on paper and doesn't know how to march and fight, but with him, at least he can be used as a cook.

There are very few who can cook at the level of this kid.

"Gong Lu spared the boy, you can take Brother Boxian and Brother Chu Yu to go, these two brothers are full of enthusiasm, and they are bent on going to Liaodong to kill the enemy and earn the title, I can't do it, people are poor and short-lived. There is a farmer in the countryside, who has no big ambitions, just thinking about buying a few more acres of land, raising a few more cows, collecting a few more buckets of grain, and then accompanying his daughter-in-law and children to live a comfortable life on the hot kang. ”

"It's not productive." Cheng Yanjin despised it, I really had never seen such a man without a background.

"That's what the kid is like, which makes Lu Gongjian smile." Li Xiao is thick-skinned, and it doesn't matter. It's still clear how many catties and taels I have, and I still don't go to Liaodong to go to the troubled waters.

Something like looking for a marquis for thousands of miles should be left to those generals to do.

"Go and help the old man get a pot of wine, the wine is gone." Xue Rengui sent Li Xiao.

As soon as Li Xiao left, Xue Li said to Cheng Jin, "Prepare a banquet in the mansion in the evening, and invite the old general to appreciate his face." ”

"Something?" Cheng Yanjin asked.

"Your Majesty will come tonight."

Cheng Yanjin was a little confused, Xue Rengui was in the army with him, and he was about to go on a campaign, so he didn't say anything in the army, but he wanted to invite him to his home for dinner. And the emperor will still go, which means a few things.

"This is Your Majesty's arrangement, Your Majesty's micro-service."

Cheng Yanjin didn't understand it anymore.

"Your Majesty asked me to invite the old general, and asked me to bring a message, and asked the old general to invite the British public to go with him."

"It's a bit of a twist!" Cheng Yanjin pinched his chin, "I always feel that this banquet is not very easy to go." ”

Xue Rengui also knew that this matter was a bit too complicated, but this was the emperor's explanation.

And as the emperor's confidant, he also guessed a little bit of the emperor's meaning, and he knew that the emperor had recently been at odds with the eldest grandson Wuji. At this time, the emperor borrowed his house to entertain guests, and the invitations were still Cheng Yanjin and Li Ji, which can be seen to have deep meaning.

"Oh, it seems that there are some things that can't be avoided." Cheng Yanjin sighed.

"Why do you want to hide, as Your Majesty's courtiers, I should take the initiative to share Your Majesty's worries." Xue Rengui said.

Cheng Yanjin was a little sad, this is a big whirlpool, and it can't be avoided.

Li Xiao went and returned.

"What's wrong with the old general, he doesn't seem to be very happy?"

"Toothache." Cheng Biting Jin said angrily.

Xue Rengui smiled and said to Li Xiao, "San Lang, I want to invite a few friends to dinner in the mansion tonight, can you come over and help make a few snacks?" ”

Li Xiao looked at Cheng Biting Jin, and then at Xue Rengui, thoughtful.

"Xue Gong has a call, Xiao'an dares to refuse."
