Chapter 6 Joining the Army
"My son thanked my father!" Li Kuan was overjoyed, but he didn't expect that Li Er not only agreed to his request, but also gave him a Yunlu captain, he also thought that it would be an official position with no real power under the supervision of the army, after all, he has a special identity and has no experience in marching and fighting. Therefore, such a high-status idle position as the supervision of the army has become the most suitable position for the princes and grandsons who participate in the war with the army.
Li Kuan was most puzzled in his heart, but he also had an inexplicable excitement, because after all, his subordinates could command a team of people, so it would be much more convenient to do something. Even if there are at most three hundred people under the command of a captain from the eighth rank of Yunlu, but after all, it is his first commanding army, isn't it?
It's just that Li Er's arrangement really allowed Li Kuan to go to the battlefield? Li Er has his own thoughts and thoughts, these three hundred people did not let Li Kuan go to war, but guarded Li Kuan at a critical moment to save his life. Li Kuan, a rookie who has just entered the battle formation, what can he do with such a little person? These people gave their lives to shield their sons from swords, guns, and arrows at the time of necessity, that is, human shields.
This era is such an era when human life is not worth life, human life is as cheap as grass, for a big man like a straw bag, thousands of hot-blooded men can die, and even in the eyes of those who are high, it is still so taken for granted. Then make up a pension that can't even buy a cow, drop a few crocodile tears, and recite a verse or two of the sacrifice. Li Kuan didn't know that he had unknowingly become a member of these privileged classes, so he was still excited to do something on the battlefield with these three hundred people.
Li Er didn't remind Li Kuan either, and waved his hand to signal that those soldiers could leave. Then he said to Li Kuan: "Kuan'er, there are still three days to leave for the army, although there are still nearly two months before the army starts." But since you have decided to join the army, then you must report to the army as soon as possible and go back to pack your things! Your little maid will follow Li Zhen for the time being, and three days later, she will go to the Right Wuwei Army to report to General Li Jing! ”
"Sons obey orders!" Li Kuan bowed down and replied, he knew that he could not bring female dependents in the army, and it was the best result for Xiao Tianxiang to be able to serve Li Lizhi temporarily.
"Go down!" Li Er asked Li Kuan to step back, and Li Kuan bowed down and retreated as he said. In a few moments, they disappeared among the flowers and plants of the Imperial Garden.
"How? How much do you know about Kuan'er's martial arts foundation? Li Er asked at the little yellow door beside him, this little yellow door didn't seem to be simple.
"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu's martial arts don't seem to be the traditional way. Like slaves and maids, they have been boiling up their bodies since they were children, exercising the flexibility of their muscles and bones, and training their strength to lift stone locks, which are all commonplace. But His Royal Highness the King of Chu just stood for a while every day. How can two punches have such a miraculous effect? The slave and maid are also puzzled! Little Yellow Door's voice was hoarse. It's actually a dark one. It's just that at this time, the dark one is no longer the appearance of half of his face burned beyond recognition, but the appearance of a delicate little yellow door. Is this disguise?
"Why, with your grandmaster-level eyes, you can't see the clues?" Li Er was a little surprised, he had long known that Li Kuan's boxing skills were very wonderful, when Li Kuan wanted to teach it to the eldest grandson and Li Liqing, he also thought that if he wanted to popularize this magical boxing technique in the army, it would definitely greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty soldiers. But the eldest grandson and Li Lizhen refused. Li Er couldn't make such an excessive request again. Now I see Li Kuan's inhuman combat power, and there is a boxing technique that the dark one can't see clearly. It made Li Er sigh in his heart and be surprised.
"Your Majesty, why don't you take a hand to test His Royal Highness the King of Chu?" Dark One asked cautiously, he has done a lot of things for Li Er in the past few years, and he knows that this king's methods against the enemy can be called extremely cruel, but he is very protective of the people he cares about. That's why he asked so carefully, because if a master like him made a move on Li Kuan, it would definitely be a big battle, and then maybe he would hurt Li Kuan.
"No need, although I am curious about how strong Kuan'er can be, I don't want him to be hurt, at least not so unnecessarily!" Li Er refused. After he said this, Dark One didn't want to say anything, in fact, Dark One was also very curious about what Cheng Dù could Li Kuan's boxing skills can be practiced, now Li Kuan's appearance is no less than Li Er's strength in his heyday, Li Er's martial arts value has dropped greatly after being the emperor in the past few years, although his body is still strong, but he can't kill in the army for an hour or two like before.
Li Kuan didn't know this, he was rushing to the place where he was fishing before, because Xiao Tianxiang was still waiting for him there, this teenage girl was very admitted, Li Kuan told her to wait there, so as long as Li Kuan didn't go to tell her in person that she could go somewhere else, she would stay there, even if she stayed for a day and a night, she would not leave.
Li Kuan rushed back, and Xiao Tianxiang was still sitting there with a fishing rod in his hand, staring at the float on the water with big eyes very nervously, it seemed that he had taken the bait.
Li Kuan didn't make a sound, just stood behind her, watching his little maid fishing, and sure enough, the float sank down slightly after floating a few times, and then sank suddenly, which was a fish swallowing the hook. The little girl grabbed the fishing rod tightly and lifted it upwards violently, but she didn't lift it.
"It's a big fish! Hehe...... When the master comes back and sees Tianxiang catching a big fish, he will definitely praise Tianxiang! The little girl said these words happily, which made Li Kuan's heart warm, this little girl is really facing him!
"Ah......h The little girl couldn't hold it back.
"You girl, you don't know how to let go?" Li Kuan stepped forward and grabbed her waist with one hand, and then the other hand held the fishing rod, and said in his mouth.
The little girl lowered her head and obediently listened to Li Kuan's lesson, so that Li Kuan couldn't say anything serious.
Fortunately, at this time, he felt the force coming from his hand, and he was slightly shocked in his heart: "This fish has so much strength, no wonder the little girl can't catch it." Thinking about it, he added a lot of strength to his hand, and directly pulled the three-foot-long big fish ashore.
The master and servant put the big fish into a small wooden barrel, half of which was exposed outside the barrel, and the two gossiped along the way to their home.
On the way, Li Kuan told Sù Tianxiang that he was going to conquer the Turks with the army, and he couldn't take her with him, which made the little maid feel pitiful for a while. But the rules in the army are like this, it is the same for everyone, unless Li Kuan becomes the commander of one side in the future and leads the army all the way, and then there is only the one sitting in the capital above his head, then there is still a trace of possibility to bring Tianxiang in the army. Of course, Li Kuan has never thought of such a thing now, he himself entered the army after overstepping the system, so he can only ignore the pitiful expression of the little maid, and tell her that after she leaves, let her go to Princess Changle, and then stay at the side of Zangyuzhai, and the Xiancai Hall will not have to stay during this time, and wait until he comes back from the army.
The little girl didn't say anything all the way, just followed Li Kuan's footsteps with her head down, not knowing what she was thinking.
Back in the Hall of Talents, Li Kuan put down the small wooden barrel in his hand, turned around, and saw the little girl's shoulders trembling and her head lowered.
"What's wrong?" Li Kuan grabbed her shoulders and looked at the little girl in front of her, who was only about one meter three in front of her, now this day has just reached the height of Li Kuan's chest and abdomen, Li Kuan has grown faster than a pig who has eaten Tongwei feed in recent years, and it is already very good for the little girl to have such a height at about ten years old.
Raising her little head and looking at the pretty face with two lines of tears, Li Kuan was helpless for a while. This girl seems to be a little too dependent on him, and before she left, she cried like a tearful person, if she did this every time, this girl would cry in the future: "Okay, what are you crying about?" I haven't left yet, so I'm not going to tell you! Li Kuan didn't know how to comfort the little girl, he couldn't say that he would bring her with him, this kind of thing that violated the military order, even if he was Li Er, it was useless, the commander in the army in this era was the biggest, so if Li Kuan stayed with his female dependents and entered the barracks, then Li Jing would have nothing to say even if Li Kuan was beaten to death and crippled Li Er.
"Master, the slave is reluctant to let you go! Woo woo...... "The little girl stretched out her little hand and wiped the tears on her face, the little hand is still so slender, it stands to reason that the nutrition has kept up in recent years, the little girl should grow meat, but she hasn't gained weight at all, is this the legendary physique that doesn't get fat no matter how you eat?" And Li Tai is exactly the opposite?
"Okay, don't cry if you can't bear to, it's really ugly to cry, it's not beautiful at all!" Li Kuan held the little maid's cheek with both hands, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his thumb, and comforted softly. Li Kuan, the little maid he picked up, has a complicated feeling, a bit like a brother and sister like Li Lizhi and Yu Zhang, but it is mixed with a little pity, the little girl has a miserable background, and there is no love between men and women for the time being, because Li Kuan has the soul of an adult after all, although he has a tendency to control Lori, but it is impossible to really do that kind of strange thing.
"Master! Is it okay to bring heavenly incense? The little maid's eyes flashed with pleading light, and her little hand grabbed one of Li Kuan's sleeves.
"This really doesn't work, how can there be a woman in the army? Military orders are like mountains, and they will not be changed because of anyone! Tianxiang obediently serves Princess Changle, waiting for the master to bring you back a white lamb from the grassland, as well as a beautiful snow lotus! Li Kuan patted the little maid's face and said.
After appeasing the little maid, Li Kuan saw that it was still early, so he decided to go out of the palace to say goodbye to his little brothers, and he was going to Tianshui Youwuwei to report, and his little brothers didn't know if they could go with him? Li Kuan wanted to take them to join the army together, because he had become very familiar with these people over the years, and these generals had inherited the spirit of their father's generation to speak with their fists, and none of them liked to read. But they are all interested in fighting on the battlefield. Moreover, most of these people's fathers are in the army, and they can be regarded as sons inheriting their father's business. It's just that Li Kuan is thinking about bringing this large group of age-appropriate gentlemen into the army at once, and he doesn't know what the expression of the generals who receive this group of gentlemen will be? Thinking of Li Jing's stern face and the expressions that may appear after seeing these people, Li Kuan felt that it was worth looking forward to. (To be continued......)
