Chapter 332 Generous Exceeding the Limits

Xue Rengui looked up at the sky.

It is now October in Chang'an, and although the sun is not as scorching as in June and July, it is still spreading heat without hesitation, and it does not look like it is about to enter winter.

Thanks to the climate, even at this time, Xue Rengui could not feel the cold at all just by wearing a cardigan.

The thin clothes are breathable and can also show off Xue Rengui's strong and slender figure.

Logically speaking, a blouse should be worn outside, but firstly, Xue Rengui disliked the heat, and secondly, the tied hair on his head without a crown showed Xue Rengui's age, so no one cared about him.

The only worry is probably that when passing Pingkangfang, I always have to deal with the flower girls.

Xue Rengui could keep his face straight even when he was talking about bowing and archery in front of His Majesty, but these flower ladies were always in a state of embarrassment.

Those women who were as beautiful as fragrant jade were bold and unrestrained. Some of them even wore open-breasted shirts and giggled and asked Xue Rengui his name and place of origin, which scared Xue Rengui and fled.

When talking about this matter with Pei Xingjian, the young man's eyes widened:

"How can a girl who is not a princess dress like this? This is beyond the rules!"

Su Dingfang sneered, gestured at the height of the famous Pei Xingjian and said:

"In five years... no, in four years, you will know how good a flower girl is."

Then he excitedly inquired with Xue Rengui about the flower girl's clothes in detail, then patted his thigh and sighed:

"How great would it be if our old Su could sweep the streets near Zhangtai Street?"

The street outside Pingkangfangmen was called Zhangtai Street in the Han Dynasty, so some people also called Hua Niang a Zhangtai person, which was very popular with those women.

Young people always care about height, so Su Dingfang almost immediately angered Pei Xingjian. The short boy immediately pulled Zuo Wei Zhonglang to make gestures, vowing to distinguish him in calligraphy articles.

One is a young man with little talent and reputation, who carries the Pei family on his weak shoulders, and the other is a general who shows off his power in the Yinshan Mountains and rides on the king's tent.

Xue Rengui clearly remembered that Pei Xingjian had praised General Su Lie in private, but for some reason he became tit for tat as soon as he said it.

Shaking his head, he turned another page of the military book in his hand.

This military book is said to have been written by Duke Dai himself. It contains new words and methods that are not seen in other military books, such as the theory of annihilation, the explanation of vitality, and the concept of skill generation.

However, Xue Rengui was a little worried when he thought of the charming flower girl in front of Pingkangfang:

Otherwise...find a rope to string up the silver ring and hang it on your chest?

But when he thought of Yinhuan, he thought of the young lady from the Liu family who gave him the Yinhuan, and Xue Rengui became a little crazy for a while.

Pei Xingjian and Su Dingfang, who are nearly twenty years apart, are still bickering.

And Xue Rengui, who was holding a book of war in his hands and looking silly.

This is what Li Jing saw when he came in.

However, Pei Xingjian was very clever. When he saw Li Jingzhi with sharp eyes, he shouted

"Hello, doctor!"

Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui were slow for a moment, but they quickly said hello.

Xue Rengui immediately noticed the difference. In the past, Duke Dai had a calm and unhurried attitude, but the anxious and tired look on his brows was very clear.

But almost instantly, Xue Rengui heard Su Dingfang's breathing become rapid next to him.

This General Su...knows what happened?

Li Jing didn't have the habit of showing off, so he looked at the three of them and said directly:

"You will go home and pack your belongings immediately. You will be waiting at Kaiyuanmen early tomorrow morning to go to Liangzhou with me on business."

After saying that, Li Jing and the others nodded, then went out again without stopping, and turned to another place to look for Xuan Ling.

Su Dingfang punched the air several times to vent his inner excitement.

Xue Rengui also guessed a little bit, Liangzhou... and then remembered that the previous military classes always focused on the economic strategies of Hexi and the Western Regions.

So at this time, there is only one possibility for the dignified Duke to go to Liangzhou:

Tuyuhun!

Xue Rengui clenched his fists, and it was hard to express his feelings for a while.

The opportunity to revitalize the Xue family is close at hand, but the nervousness of entering the battle for the first time also surges into my heart at this time.

Perhaps because the words written on his face were too clear, Su Dingfang put his arm around Xue Rengui's shoulders with one hand and said with a smile:

"We are going to Liangzhou tomorrow. We don't know when we will return to Chang'an. We don't even know if we can return to Chang'an intact."

In this case, Su Dingfang winked and said:

"How about my brother taking you to Pingkangfang to see you today?"

Then Xue Rengui's face turned red to the base of his ears.

Su Dingfang laughed loudly, patted the young general on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"As a general, you should restrain yourself and do not enter this place of right and wrong. It is very good."

"But I do know that heading east from Pingkangfang, after passing through Dongshi, Daozhengfang, the drinks there are the best in Chang'an."

"Good wine should be used to strengthen one's health. You and I will drink it together."

There is no reason to reject this offer.

When I thought about what Su Dingfang said about not knowing whether he would be able to return home whole, his heart suddenly became heavier, so he nodded Cong Shanruliu.

Seeing Xue Rengui agreed, Su Dingfang turned to the other side and touched Pei Xingjian's head with a smile:

"I can't take you drinking. It's better to go home and say goodbye to your wet nurse. She said she's going to Liangzhou for a short stay. Don't let her worry anymore."

Pei Xingjian had not traveled far yet, and he felt a little heavy at this time. He nodded and was too lazy to argue with Su Dingfang.

The place where the Imperial College is located is called the main office. Xue Rengui took Su Dingfang out of the gate and walked around to the back of the Imperial College. From a distance, he saw the flower girl with a generous figure and clothes giggling loudly to attract the young men passing by. .

Su Dingfang sighed:

"I didn't know it was so close to the Imperial College."

Xue Rengui saw that General Su's eyes were so absorbed in the generosity on Hua Niang's chest that he forgot about his way back, so he could only return his words intact:

"General Su, as a general you should be self-possessed."

Su Dingfang nodded fiercely:

"Yes, as a general you should be self-possessed."

"As a general of the left guard, I should not forget my responsibilities and share your Majesty's worries."

"It seems that wearing such clothes is over the limit, and I will definitely reprimand you!"

In the end, Su Dingfang still failed to enforce the law successfully, unable to withstand Xue Rengui's huge strength, and was dragged away by Xue Rengui with a look of reluctance.

After Pingkangfang, there was the lively Dongshi. Xue Rengui looked at the people around him with some confusion:

"There seem to be a lot more people in Chang'an than when I first came here."

Pingkangfang was quickly forgotten by Su Dingfang. In addition to daily necessities, Dongshi also had various gadgets. He stared at a glass cup and shook his head and said:

"Rengui forgot? The imperial examination is about to begin."

Half a year ago, the imperial court had already announced the reopening of the imperial examination, and finally set the time for the imperial examination in mid-October.

Therefore, after the light curtain reading at the beginning of this month, the DPRK and the Central Government were busy.

Imperial examinations, military dispatch, maritime administration, general supervision, and arithmetic.

These five things alone are enough to involve most of the energy of the three provinces and six ministries.

And Su Dingfang knew that the storm of the imperial examination had just begun.

After all, there is no shortage of talents in the Tang Dynasty, and those disciples are all "talents" that everyone praises.

After His Majesty implemented the imperial examination, the next step was definitely to determine how to recruit talents. The resistance was something that even a layman like Su Dingfang could imagine.

But it doesn't matter, as long as they can win in Tuyuhun, they can help His Majesty win in the court.

And... when he raised his head and glanced at Xue Rengui beside him, Su Dingfang felt even more determined.

After listening to Su Dingfang's explanation, Xue Rengui nodded silently.

If there is no summons from His Majesty, then he should come to Chang'an to participate in the martial arts competition after a few years.

But now there is no need to go to such trouble. I just don’t know how Dr. Li will arrange him when he waits to attack Tuyuhun.

As soon as he thought of this, Xue Rengui suddenly felt a lot restless. He wished he could enter the military camp now and try out everything he had learned during this period.

And...a thought rolled over and over in my mind, and finally I couldn't help but blurt out:

"General Su, this Tuyuhun..."

The two people were walking in the East Market, with shops and stalls on both sides, bustling with people, but none of them affected them.

After carefully avoiding a goods picker, Su Dingfang almost immediately returned a stern look, the meaning of which was very clear.

Xue Rengui realized that he had made a mistake. Nowadays, the population of Dongshi is mixed, and it is very likely that there are merchants from Tuyuhun here.

So Xue Rengui bowed his hands in shame, and the two of them kept silent and walked through the East Market to Daozhengfang, where the aroma of wine could be smelled through the wall.

Only then did Su Ding give a brief warning:

"Talk about that matter over there, and talk about drinking here."

Daozhengfang sells wine and has a drinking place, but Su Dingfang always considers things prudent, so he drank and took Xue Rengui back to his Kuangdao Mansion to drink.

After returning the same way and passing Pingkangfang again forcing Su Dingfang to forget his "duty", Xue Rengui was stopped by the waiting chamberlain when passing by the Imperial College.

"Summoned by His Majesty?"

Under Su Dingfang's regretful eyes, Xue Rengui could only regretfully surrender to him and enter the palace to meet the saint.

Your Majesty today seems less talkative than before.

After meeting each other, he said:

"When you join the army, I acted as your guarantee and the Duke agreed."

Due to his age limit, Pei Xingjian was someone who learned from the past and basically stayed in Liangzhou City.

Not so for Xue Rengui. At this time, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty told him clearly: You are going to fight to kill the enemy.

So Xue Rengui's chaotic thoughts turned into gratitude to Li Shimin:

"Thank you, Your Majesty..."

But before he finished speaking, the second shocking sentence came:

"I heard that you and Dingfang went to see the flower girl drinking flower wine today?"

Xue Rengui suddenly blushed and swore that he and the Liu family's young lady had a private life, how could he care about her?

On the one hand, he said that he just went to the political workshop to get a drink, and wanted to drink and make a living.

Li Shimin's expression relaxed a lot, he nodded and said:

"Don't go to Zhangtai Street...but there is nothing wrong with drinking wine to strengthen your health. For the time being, I will leave you a jar of wine with me. When you return from victory, you can drink it again. It should be extremely sweet."

Xue Rengui could only thank him.

But when it came to the war, Li Shimin gradually became interested. He took Xue Rengui for a walk in the palace. While casually talking about Tuyuhun's evil intentions, he also talked about some of his own experiences in leading troops to break the formation, which made Xue Rengui feel that it was of great benefit.

After chatting for a while, seeing that His Majesty's interest was gone and he was about to wave people away, Xue Rengui also asked what he had been doubting:

"I'm so lucky, why do you think so highly of Your Majesty?"

Li Shimin had already anticipated this question. He turned around and patted the young general on the shoulder and said:

"More than a month ago, a divine man came into my dream and said that you are our divine general of the Tang Dynasty, who can conquer the Western Regions and control Liaodong."

"Rengui, will you be my general of the Tang Dynasty?"

Until he left the Taiji Hall, Xue Rengui felt that the floor under his feet was soft.

Those two words echoed in his heart for a long time:

The God of Tang!

I, Xue Rengui, will fight the enemy chiefs and kill the bandits for Tang in this life, and emulate Dr. Li to build a reputation!

In such a light and floating state, he almost bumped into the person who came at a corner.

This was a young man in gorgeous clothes. Xue Rengui judged that he should be only eleven or twelve years old at a glance.

After all, he saw Pei Xingjian's face every day, and the childishness on the face of the young man in front of him was no different from Pei Xingjian.

There was another young man behind him, also dressed in gorgeous clothes and full of childishness.

The young man behind him was holding a baby in his arms. His nose was running long.

Not far behind, there were several palace maids following with worried faces.

After all, it was because he was too proud of himself. Xue Rengui quickly stepped back and bowed:

"I am so rude and offended the young master."

Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to care at all. He nodded to Xue Rengui and left.

When the two teenagers passed by Xue Rengui with the child, Xue Rengui could still hear the younger boy talking to the baby:

"Child, don't talk when you go in later. Just hold Aye's legs and cry. Do you hear me?"

"Although I don't know how you offended Aye, Aye will definitely be helpless if you cry."

"Oh, by the way, don't wipe your nose on Aye's legs this time. Where's your handkerchief? I'll wipe it for you now."

Aye is in the palace... Xue Rengui, even if he is a fool, knows the identity of this noble man, and he is immediately grateful.

But soon, the leading young man turned back and looked up at Xue Rengui's bare head with curiosity:

"I haven't seen you before, who are you?"

Xue Rengui was tall, and now he was only a head shorter than Li Shimin when he stood up straight.

So even if he lowered his head to talk to the young man, he still had to look up to see Xue Rengui's face.

"Your Highness, I am Xue Rengui."

So Li Chenggan's face also became pleasantly surprised:

"I heard from His Majesty that you have the reputation of conquering Tianshan with three arrows."

Xue Rengui suddenly felt a little sweaty.

Does His Majesty have such high expectations for himself?

Li Tai, who was behind him, patiently wiped Li Zhi's nose and hurriedly said:

"Royal brother, we will not see Aye anymore, and we will be busy later."

Li Chenggan nodded, and then seemed to want to pat Xue Rengui's shoulder, but he couldn't reach it at all, so he could only pat his forearm:

"Rengui will surely prosper in military affairs."

Li Chenggan knew the limits well, and the two of them exchanged a few words and stopped, and then took his two brothers back to Taiji Palace.

Suifeng could still hear complaints floating over:

"Royal brother, hurry up, otherwise I will have to wipe the nose of Zhinu again when we get to the palace gate."

Xue Rengui retreated to the side of the road with his hands down, watching several palace maids follow the three princes past him.

He glanced at Xue Rengui and then retracted his gaze, but he was a little curious in his heart, why is there a little girl among the palace maids... Which princess is it?

Today's game had too many troubles, but fortunately it was almost over. This chapter is still updated on the 13th.
