Chapter 239: King Qi's guards

Li Yao now has a big problem when he hears the queen say that his heirs are big, and now none of his wives are adults, isn't it embarrassing for himself!

The queen seemed to see her troubles, and said with a smile: "Yao'er, I know that the old fairy said that you can't have sex with women under the age of eighteen, do you need me to find you some ladies over the age of eighteen?" You marry home as a concubine! ”

Li Yao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "No, this is really not necessary!" ”

When the queen saw Li Yao's refusal, she didn't mention it, but said: "Then you go back to the fiefdom and look for it, anyway, you have millions of people under your jurisdiction, and there must be no problem in finding some women!" ”

Li Yao asked at this time, "Queen Mother, did you say that my father would summon me later?" ”

The queen thought for a moment and said, "If the envoy of the Jin Kingdom really came to ask for the people, he would definitely summon you, but you can rest assured, your father will arrange everything for you!" ”

Li Yao nodded and said, "Queen Mother, since this is the case, then I will wait outside the palace, otherwise I am afraid that my father will not find me!" ”

The queen smiled and said, "This is not necessary, I can ask the palace maid to pass a message to the guards outside the main hall, and let them come here to find you!" ”

Li Yao nodded and said, "Then this will do!" ”

The queen sent a little palace maid out to deliver the message, and then asked, "Yao'er, what are your plans for next year?" ”

Yao'er naturally knew that this was the queen's temptation of herself, and Li Yao also knew the truth that the tail was too big to lose, so Li Yao definitely didn't dare to say that he still wanted to expand the land, but said with a sad face: "Queen Mother, you also know how much pressure I have now, the Liang Dynasty will definitely use troops against my fief next year, and Yidu will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack me, and because the land is expanding too fast, the squires in the fief are also ready to move, and I am now wondering if I should take the initiative to give up some county towns and shrink the defense line, Let's deal with the two big forces next year! ”

After listening to Li Yao's words, the queen said worriedly: "Yao'er, then you should take the initiative to give up some county seats, be closer to Qi Country, if there is anything, your father can also send troops to help you!" ”

Li Yao nodded and said: "Queen Mother, you can rest assured, if I really can't resist the attack of their two armies, I will give up the land and shrink the defensive line, if it really doesn't work, I will retreat to the three northern counties of Yiguo, and when the time comes, I think I can resist their attack with the terrain there!" ”

When the queen heard that Li Yao had left a way back for herself, she was not worried, and at this time, a little palace maid ran in and said, "There are guards outside the door who invite Ning Hou to go to the main hall to meet King Qi!" ”

Li Yao stood up and said to the queen mother: "Queen mother, I will go to see my father first!" ”

The queen nodded slightly and said softly, "You go!" ”

Li Yao said goodbye to the queen and followed the guards to the main hall, on the way, Li Yao asked the guards who led the way in front, and said, "Has the envoy of the Jin Kingdom seen his father?" ”

The guard who led the way in front replied, "The envoy of the Jin Kingdom has already seen King Qi, probably talking about some things about the people!" ”

Li Yao smiled: "Thank you!" ”

The guard hurriedly said: "Master Hou, it would be too embarrassing for me to say that, who in the entire Qi country does not know that you have now occupied the land of more than a dozen county towns in Yiguo, and the people in the fief are millions, and you have become a veritable prince!" ”

Li Yao smiled: "Those are just luck!" ”

The guard smiled and said: "Master Hou, don't be modest, when I followed King Qi to fight the world, I knew how difficult it was, you can lay down more than a dozen county lands in a year, and you haven't lost it, it's really not ordinary people can do it!" ”

When Li Yao heard the guard's words, he was taken aback and asked, "Dare to ask you about your high birthday this year!" ”

The guard smiled: "It's more than forty years old this year!" ”

Li Yao saw that this guard didn't look like he was forty years old at all, so he said, "You look so young, I thought you were only thirty years old!" ”

The guard smiled: "Maybe the people who practice martial arts are young!" ”

Li Yao asked, "By the way, why haven't I seen you before!" ”

The guard replied: "Master Hou, I have always been the guard of King Qi, but I am just a secret guard, and now my body has gradually failed, so I turned into a Ming guard and usually does some errand work!" ”

As soon as Li Yao heard this, this guard still came out of the secret guard, and immediately said, "Then your martial arts skills are very high!" ”

The guard smiled: "Hou Ye Miao praised, they are all tricks that do not enter the stream!" ”

Such a talent was used by Daddy to run errands and deliver letters, it was really a bit condescending, followed Daddy to fight the world, or transferred out of the secret guard, if it was used to train scouts, it was definitely a rare treasure!

Li Yao had the intention of soliciting, and then deliberately slowed down his pace, and the guards felt that Li Yao was walking slowly, so he turned his head and said, "Master Hou, let's go faster, King Qi is still waiting for us in the main hall!" ”

Li Yao smiled: "Don't worry, come here, I'll say a few words to you!" ”

The guards didn't know what Li Yao was going to do, so they could only slow down their pace and came to Li Yao's side, Li Yao said softly, "Are you willing to follow me?" If you follow me, I will never let you deliver letters and run errands, I will give you a position as a head coach and let you train the soldiers! ”

When the guards heard Li Yao's words, they were indeed a little moved, although now their martial arts have begun to slowly regress, but their experience is getting richer and richer, and they don't want to be a guard who runs errands and delivers letters for a few years, and then they are put in the royal tomb to guard the tomb!

But the guards didn't know if the Hou Ye in front of him was really recruiting him, so he asked: "Isn't the Hou Ye making fun of me, now my martial arts skills are declining more and more, and it is estimated that in a few years, I will be out of the crowd!" ”

Li Yao said seriously: "You have shed blood for our Qi country, how can I make you lose your value?" I really want to recruit you, and if you have other brothers who want to do it with me, I will give them the same position, how about it, if you agree, I will tell my father immediately! ”

The guards thought about it, if they still want to reflect their value, following the Hou Ye in front of them is undoubtedly the best choice, now King Qi has been smoothed out by a comfortable life, and King Qi is also old, always thinking about who to pass the throne to, and King Qi can only be assigned to the king's tomb to guard the tomb until he dies!

The guard immediately made his own choice, bowed down and said: "I am willing to follow the Hou Ye, and I still have a hundred and ten brothers, and now they are all old, many of them have been assigned to all parts of the palace as guards, and it is really rare to be able to turn into a Ming guard!" ”

Li Yao asked, "What's your name, I'll go back and mention it to my father!" ”

The guard replied: "Back to Master Hou, my name is Wang Liang!" ”

Well, Li Yao said: "Wang Liang, when you go back, talk to your friends, if you are willing to go with me, you make a list for me, and I will find my father to ask for you!" ”

Wang Liang said uprightly: "Yes, Master Hou!" ”
