Chapter 179 The Sturdy Folklore

"What the hell? It smells so damn good!"

The majestic voice was especially loud at the gate of the mansion.

The burly figure in silver armor closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and enjoyed it.

The figures scrambling to eat meat in the courtyard were startled suddenly, and the uproar of joy came to an abrupt end with this rich voice.

All the frozen crowd slowly turned their heads, looking at the burly man with a beard and hair, standing domineeringly on the threshold with two silver helmeted soldiers.

The smile on his face suddenly froze when he saw the big man. The next moment, the man in charge of the spoon put down the pottery plate, held the iron spoon horizontally with a red oil silk thread, and walked calmly.

The hustle and bustle stopped, and the burly man opened his eyes, looking at the oncoming soldiers with unfriendly expressions, the joyful expression that he thought he could catch up with the delicious food dissipated in an instant, and his expression changed instead.

"Everyone... are you fellow villagers here? Hehe, is this... a feast?"

The big man was a little confused by picking up a few words indiscriminately.

I obviously didn't do anything, why do these people look so fierce?

The citizens on the opposite side looked at this body and knew that they were officers and soldiers in the imperial city, especially this is a silver light armor, which can be worn by ordinary generals from time to time, this man is at least the title of general among generals Very tall role.

Rumors spread everywhere in the imperial city, and it is an all-too-familiar routine for officers and soldiers to send troops to arrest them.

It's just that they were still discussing just now, and officers and soldiers came at this moment. This speed is really too fast.

The dignified citizens obviously showed a hint of hostility, and without making a sound, they stepped on their feet and slowly surrounded the gate of the mansion.

The guard at the door lowered the hilt of the knife, took half a step away and concentrated on guarding. The big man in the lead was a general who had experienced life and death. He was not panicked by the situation in front of him, but he was a little confused for a while.

"Daddy?"

A shout resounded through the courtyard, and a figure squeezed through the crowd, and was stuck between the two teams at the moment of sword tension.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding."

Cheng Chumo pulled the big man with embarrassment on his face.

"No matter what you come here, don't send someone to the ward. These people must think that you are the officers and soldiers who confiscated the coal stove."

Ok?
Hahaha.

Cheng Yaojin smiled loudly, spread his arms, and pressed down on the crowd.

"Fathers and folks, I misunderstood, this old man is not the one who came to confiscate it."

"It's to bring good news to Li Xian."

After all, the tiger's eyes shuttled through the crowd, and looked around.

"Nephew, hurry up! You are going to serve in the army, military officer! The official position is not small."

puff.

Li Xian, who was sipping tea leisurely, heard the howl and spewed out all the tea.

Military ginseng?

Li Er's idea?
Let me, a person who has never been on the battlefield, be a member of the army?
This Li Erpai's stone head is a bit funny, right?
In front of his eyes, Cheng Yaojin strode forward wearing shining silver armor, and clasped his hands away.

"Li Xian! This is a beautiful job."

"This Western Expedition is a foregone conclusion that there will be winners and no losers. You just follow the army to go through it, and it's no problem to be promoted to the rank of an official."

"Do you know how many people in Xizheng approached the old man to intercede in private? Only you, kid, took such a big advantage for nothing."

Laughing loudly, he excitedly stepped forward, hugged the dazed figure, and patted the back.

"Do it well! The title of the first young general in the Tang Dynasty must not be far from yours!"

The people who had caused an oolong had just reacted at this moment, looked at each other in blank dismay, and then shouted with joy.

"Hey! I just said that our official is different. Look, he is still a general who leads the army."

"You know what! Those who lead the troops are military generals, and our officials are the ones behind the scenes. They are civil servants, like Zhuge Liang."

"I'll just say it! How can we be petty officials to build a coal stove that benefits the country and the people? We are blessed!"

"This is really a happy event! Our official is a staff officer in the army. Now let's see if those rumormongers in the imperial city dare to make a mistake."

Noisy discussions filled his ears, Cheng Chu silently tugged at Cheng Yaojin's lapel.

"Father, it's better not to leak this military secret, you, you still have to be careful with your words."

Cheng Yaojin just came to his senses at this moment, he smiled, pushed Li Xian on the seat, grabbed the teacup on the desk, and took a sip of booze.

There was no joy on Li Xian's face, he turned his head and frowned.

"Uncle Cheng, you have to carry a gun and hold a knife on this battlefield. I don't have any military experience. Why did Your Majesty send me there?"

Stretching out his arms and glancing at himself, Li Xian continued.

"Look at my slender arms and legs, at best I am a master who invents and manufactures gadgets at home."

thump.

Cheng bit Jindun down his cup and grinned, his tone obviously much slower.

"Nephew, don't panic. I think back then, the old man was invincible in the battlefield, and he could kill a bloody road by riding alone."

"...Don't worry, with my old Cheng here, I will ensure that you will be safe, and the barbarian will not get a single hair of you."

Seeing Li Xian's sad face, Cheng Chumo laughed.

"Father, it seems that Li Xian followed General Li all the way and has nothing to do with us."

Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin's expression froze, and he glared at Cheng Chumo angrily.

"Go aside!"

"What do you know, kid! With half the intelligence of my nephew, it's not that the position of the lieutenant is so difficult!"

Cheng Chumo's face was covered with black lines, and he bowed his head in silence.

"Uncle Cheng, according to your words, the Western Expedition is determined to be won. Since the position of military officer is insignificant, why don't we choose someone else to receive this achievement?"

Li Xian held on to the last sliver of fantasy, hoping that this veteran would say something nice for him, and try not to embark on this career path.

"Yo~"

Cheng Yaojin, who seemed to have never heard of it, didn't seem to have heard Li Xian's words, and turned his head to look at the coal stoves in the spacious camp in surprise.

"Is this the coal stove rumored in the imperial city?"

"It really opened my eyes to the old man, that he can still cook."

Seeing Cheng Yaojin who got up and bent over to check the coal stove, Li Xian was speechless for a while, and drooped his brows.

"Uncle Cheng, I don't want to join the army..."

"Ouch~"

Cheng Yaojin's sudden high-pitched words covered Li Xian's voice, and shouted.

"What is this steamed stuff?"

"Nephew, you are considerate, but the old man hasn't had lunch yet."

Seeing that Li Xian was about to speak again, Cheng Yaojin glanced at Cheng Chumo who had his head down and said nothing, and hurriedly spoke.

"Hey! You two boys are eating alone here!"

"Chu Mo, hurry up and buy a pair of chopsticks for Weifu, and the old man will also come to taste a couple of bites."

Got it!
Li Xian could see it.

This time Cheng Yaojin acted as if he would not let himself mention this matter, let alone ask him to intercede for him.

Then again, this military officer is just a person who lives in a big tent and gives advice to the chief commander of the army in his free time.

There are various generals in charge of the war, and someone in charge of the military camp affairs. Even the military strategy has its own father to sit in charge!
Thinking about it, I was just wandering around in Li's mansion, spending a while in Jinwang's mansion, sooner or later I would get tired of it.

Going west with the army and enjoying the lonely smoke in the desert and the vast sea of ​​sand may also be a good choice.

Wrinkles stretched on his sad face, Li Xian waved his arms.

"Alright, let's start the banquet!"
