Chapter 1998 She is just a child.
Xue Rengui had a solemn look on his face. He always remembered the kindness shown by Prince Ji.
The Hedong Xue family is one of the six major surnames in Guanzhong. Xue Rengui was supposed to be a son of a wealthy family and the sixth-generation grandson of Xue Andu, the King of Hedong in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
His great-grandfather, grandfather, and father all held important positions in the imperial court at that time.
His family should have been well off, but as luck would have it, his father Xue Gui died early and the family fell into poverty.
Otherwise, he would definitely have found an official position in the Tang Dynasty, and Xue Rengui would not have ended up in such a difficult situation.
Xue Rengui believed that it was his blessing to meet Prince Ji.
"Alas~~~ Rengui, you can't just look at the surface of some things. Human affairs are destined by heaven. Maybe after you join the army, you will make achievements and become famous, and stand out in the army.
If he is appreciated by His Majesty, he might even be made a marquis or a prime minister."
Li Shen sighed again. The secret cannot be revealed. Li Shen grew up listening to the stories of Xue Rengui when he was a child.
A Fang Tian Hua Ji and a bow make the world tremble with fear.
"Haha, the prince also said that human affairs are destined by heaven. I am lucky to meet the prince, and the prince is my benefactor. Isn't this destined by heaven?
If the prince had not taken me in, even if I had joined the army, I would probably have died in the midst of thousands of enemies and become a lonely ghost somewhere.
Where else can we see such a scene as today?
Your Majesty has built a mansion for me and granted me a thousand acres of fertile land. I now hold the fourth rank in the government.
When I returned home, the people in my hometown all said that the feng shui of my ancestors' graves was good. I am very satisfied with everything I have now."
Xue Rengui smiled gently. Although he didn't know why Prince Ji was so sentimental, he could feel that Prince Ji was sincere.
But is it really that easy to be a marquis or a prime minister? Even if I join the army, it is still a question whether I can survive.
When a large army is fighting, personal ability is secondary. No matter how good your martial arts are, you cannot withstand a volley of arrows.
Now he lives in a five-acre mansion, has a wife and concubine, a thousand acres of fertile land, and servants to serve him. What a good life it is, without having to worry about anything.
If you want to get these in the army, you have to risk your life. He is not a madman.
Alas~~ Seeing Xue Rengui's smile, Li Shen sighed secretly, those who are contented will always be happy, if Xue Rengui knew his future achievements.
I don’t know if I will still think the same way as I do now.
The tea was ready, and Li Shen and Xue Rengui drank tea while discussing some military matters, details, and other issues.
Xue Rengui is indeed a talented general, and he has his own unique ideas in many areas. Li Shen finally waved his hand and let him make his own decision.
The two chatted for more than half an hour. Li Shen felt a little hungry, so he stood up:
“Okay, I have nothing else to do, so I’ll go back first.
You should be ready to go. Get the vehicles ready and have the people from the research institute come over to inspect them. Don’t let them break down on the way because we don’t have replacement parts.”
"Your Majesty, I have had it inspected and they have replaced some parts. They say it is better than before.
There is also a layer of oil on various places, so there shouldn’t be any problem.”
After hearing this, Xue Rengui quickly replied that as a general, he must be fully prepared for such matters.
Li Shen nodded after hearing this:
"That's good. Rengui is indeed very thoughtful. If there is nothing else, I will leave."
After Li Shen finished speaking, he left and Xue Rengui sent him to the gate of the military camp.
When Li Shen got on the carriage, he turned around and said:
"Be prepared. The king may leave at any time."
After saying that, Li Shen got on the carriage.
"Farewell, Your Majesty." Xue Rengui bowed. Li Shen's carriage slowly left.
He rushed all the way back to Prince Ji's Mansion. As soon as he entered the backyard, he heard a lot of noise.
"Auntie, I was wrong, wow wow~~~~~~"
"I'll let you get into trouble again. I'll let you get into trouble again."
"I know I was wrong, wow wow~~~ oops~~~~"
From a distance, Li Shen could hear the sound of his beloved daughter crying and Wu Meiniang scolding.
Li Shen hurriedly took a few steps and came to the garden.
"What's wrong? What's going on? Why is this happening?"
Wu Meiniang grabbed Xixi and put her on her lap, and with one hand she was spanking Xixi's little butt hard with a ruler.
Xixi kept struggling, screaming, and crying.
"Yeah, it's me~~" Seeing her father, Xixi seemed to see hope and shouted to Li Shen.
"Don't worry, Xixi, Aye is here to save you!" Li Shen cooperated loudly and was about to step forward to fight the dragon and rescue his little princess.
But just as he was about to step forward, he was pulled back by a hand.
Li Shen looked back and saw that it was his wife Lu Dingniang. Lu Dingniang shook her head at Li Shen, signaling him not to go over.
Li Shen frowned and asked, "Madam, why is this happening? Why are you hitting Xixi? She is so young, she is just a child."
Li Shen finally said the most classic words, and then came to Wu Meiniang's side.
"Greetings, Your Highness." Wu Meiniang bowed quickly, but she had no intention of letting go of Xixi.
"Mei Niang, why do you want to hit Xixi? If she made a mistake, you can just educate her. She is still so young."
Looking at his daughter with tearful eyes, Li Shen felt very distressed.
"Your Highness, Xixi is too spoiled. She made a serious mistake this time, so I punished her." Wu Meiniang explained.
"What mistakes could a five-year-old girl make? Even if she did, we should teach her a lesson and tell her not to do it again. There's no need to hit her so hard."
Li Shen said somewhat unhappily.
Seeing that Li Shen was angry, Lu Dingniang came over to explain:
"Your Majesty, Xixi broke Yangyang's head today."
"What did you say? Broke Yangyang's head?" Li Shen opened his mouth in surprise. They have always had a good relationship.
Besides, they are twins, a boy and a girl, from the same mother, so how could they fight?
"Did they fight?" Li Shen asked the question in his mind. Although Xixi was noisy, Yangyang was very calm. He shouldn't have fought with Xixi.
Lu Dingniang shook her head:
"Yangyang didn't fight. It was Xixi who broke Yangyang's head."
"What's going on?" Li Shen frowned even more tightly.
At Lu Dingniang's suggestion, Xixi's maid replied:
"Your Highness Prince Ji, today the young master and the young lady had an argument while reading a book, and the teacher seemed to ask the young lady and the young master to write something.
The young lady couldn't write, so she wanted the young man to do it for her. The young man refused, saying that he would be punished, and advised the young lady to write it herself so that she would remember it.
The young lady didn't listen, so she quarreled with the young master for a few words, and finally she got angry and hit the young master. The young master couldn't dodge in time and ended up getting his head broken. "
"What did she use to hit him?" Li Shen actually already had a guess in his mind. It definitely wasn't her hands, otherwise the head wouldn't have been broken.
"Your Highness, it's gold bars." The maid returned home.
"Sure enough." This was just as Li Shen thought. This was not the first time. The last time, he used a gold bar to smash Li Zhi's son's head.
