Chapter 789: News from the Liu Family
Tubo came to ask the Tang Dynasty for peace, which made Li Xiu feel quite uncomfortable, and blamed Liu Bang for making a bad start, as a result, whether the Central Plains Dynasty was strong or weak, they all like to marry women in exchange for peace, although Li Xiu has dissuaded Li Shimin several times not to marry the Tang princess, but he still can't stand these small countries around him to come to ask for marriage.

However, Li Xiu didn't want to intervene in these court matters, and he was really tired when he went to Taiyuan this time, so after returning to Chang'an and arranging Queen Dou's coffin, Li Xiu and Pei Lin explained it, and then gave himself a few days off to rest, and by the way, he also took Xue Rengui's affairs and calculated the time, and Zhao Deyan should also have a reply.
Early this morning, Ma Ye really brought Zhao Deyan's reply, in order to receive the news as soon as possible, Li Xiu also used the power of Feinusi before, after all, when it comes to delivering news, there is no faster than Feinusi in this era.
"Here you go, but you are really, Jin'er's martial arts are taught by me, why did you find him a martial arts instructor from other places, do you think his martial arts can be stronger than me?" Ma Ye stuffed Zhao Deyan's reply letter into Li Xiu's hand, and then said with some dissatisfaction, he knew that Li Xiu contacted Zhao Deyan because of a martial arts instructor named Xue Rengui, but he hadn't seen each other for the time being, and he felt that it was not appropriate for Li Xiu to find an outsider to teach Li Jin, after all, he and Princess Pingyang could teach Li Jin.
"Uncle Ma, you can't blame me for this, when I was in Taiyuan before, Jin'er and I met Xue Rengui and tried archery with others, but Jin'er fell in love with each other at a glance, and I had to argue to worship each other as a teacher, and I couldn't refuse, so I had to agree, so if you want to blame, you can only blame Jin'er!" Li Xiu said with a smile at this time, he knew that Ma Ye treated Jin'er as his own grandson, and he was definitely reluctant to blame him, but it was precisely because Ma Ye was too close to Jin'er that he was reluctant to let him suffer when he taught him martial arts.
Hearing that Li Xiu took Jin'er out as a shield, Ma Ye couldn't help glaring at him, but Li Xiu smiled at this time, and didn't care about Ma Ye's dissatisfaction at all, and then opened Zhao Deyan's letter, but when he saw the content of the letter, his face couldn't help but stiffen, but when he saw the end, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Deyan's reply told Li Xiu that Liu Shilin was indeed working under him, and he was also one of his important assistants, as for Liu Shilin, he did have a daughter, who happened to be sixteen years old this year, although Li Xiu revised the law of the Tang Dynasty and suggested that women get married at eighteen, but among the people, most people still maintain the habit of marrying before the age of fifteen, in other words, the little lady of the Liu family should have married last year.
However, Liu Shilin is a believer, and he has never forgotten the idle things he and Xue Rengui's father set at the beginning, and the little lady of the Liu family is also a trustworthy woman, so the father and daughter discussed it and waited for an extra year, but the time of the year passed quickly, and no one on the Xue family's side contacted them, so at this time, Liu Shilin finally couldn't wait any longer, so he told his daughter about family affairs again, and prepared to get married next spring.
Speaking of which, you can't blame Liu Shilin, after all, waiting for one more year is already considered benevolent and righteous, and with the age of Liu Xiaoniang, if it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that it will be really difficult to marry in the future, so it is also appropriate to talk about a family affair, fortunately, there is no marriage yet, but there is room for redemption.
"Quick, go and invite Sect Head Xue!" Li Xiu put down the letter and hurriedly asked someone to invite Xue Rengui, after all, this matter is also a little troublesome, although the little lady of the Liu family is not married, she is already engaged to someone, so how necessary is this matter, I still have to ask Xue Rengui's opinion.
"It just so happens that I want to see, what is so special about this martial arts instructor who can convince Jin'er?" Ma Ye couldn't help but sit down and take a sip of tea when he heard this, in the past two years, he slowly put down the matter of Feinusi, and even asked Li Shimin to resign twice before, but Li Shimin did not let him go for the time being, and he and Li Xiu could not do anything about it.
After a while, I only heard a heavy footsteps outside the living room, and then I saw that the door of the hall was dark, and a tall and burly figure walked in, it was Xue Rengui who came back with Li Xiu, and when Ma Ye saw the other party, he couldn't help but admire: "What a burly figure, it's simply a natural Mo knife hand!" ”
The Mo Dao team is the most elite heavy infantry in the Tang Dynasty, and they need to wear heavy armor when fighting, holding dozens of catties of Mo knives, and slowly advance in line with a wall, any obstacle in front of them is cut to pieces by them, but whether it is heavy armor or Mo Dao, it is not something that ordinary people can handle, it must be a strong man in the army, but a figure like Xue Rengui, even if it is a Mo Dao team, it is very rare.
"See Guogong!" After Xue Rengui came in, he immediately saluted Li Xiu, and then looked at Ma Ye next to him with some surprise, he also heard Ma Ye's praise for him just now, but he didn't know Ma Ye.
"Sect Head Xue doesn't have to be polite, the one next to me is my elder, General Ma San Baoma, you can call him General Ma or Ma Ye." At this time, Li Xiu introduced Ma Ye to Xue Rengui with a smile.
"It turned out to be General Ma, I heard the name of the general and Princess Pingyang early in the morning, please accept the next salute!" Xue Rengui had naturally heard of Ma Ye's name, and hurriedly saluted him at the moment.
"You're welcome, are you interested in joining the army, I can directly recommend you to the Modao team, where the treatment is much better than that of ordinary soldiers, and the promotion is fast, just for a strong man like you!" Just now, Ma Ye was still a little dissatisfied with Xue Rengui, but at this time, he loved talent and his attitude became very enthusiastic.
"Uncle Ma, don't be overkill, Xue Jiaotou is not only outstanding in martial arts and archery, but also very accomplished in the art of war, I have promised him to recommend him to go to the military academy in the future, and I will definitely have one more general in the future!" At this time, Li Xiu said to Ma Ye with a smile, although the Modao team is good, the casualty rate is also very high, and it is suitable for those brave people with developed limbs, but it is a pity that a person like Xue Rengui who is both civil and military is placed in the Modao team.
"Military school? You're really willing! Ma Ye was also shocked when he heard Li Xiu's words, the scale of the military academy is not large now, and the recruitment of cadets is also very strict, not everyone can enter, even if Li Xiu recommends people, it will take some effort, but this also proves that Li Xiu attaches great importance to Xue Rengui.
"By the way, there has been news from the south, and the Liu Shilin family has found it, but there are some problems." Li Xiu suddenly thought of today's business at this time, so he handed the letter in his hand to Xue Rengui and said, the little lady of the Liu family has been engaged to someone else, whether Xue Rengui gives up or works hard again, it depends on his own choice?
