Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Du He turned sideways, clasped his fists towards Li Chengqian and said, "Your Highness, this man is none other than Xue Rengui, a soldier newly recruited in Hedong!"

"Du He, you have a good eye. This is a super warrior!"

Li Chengqian looked at Xue Rengui with admiration on his face.

On the side, Liu Li was greatly surprised to hear that the fierce general named Xue Rengui was actually an ordinary soldier who had just joined the army.

Liu Li narrowed his eyes and asked doubtfully, "Prince Consort Du, is this man really a new soldier?"

Although they were familiar with each other, Liu Li still addressed Du He by his title when appropriate.

He had led an army before and saw that the old-fashioned armor Xue Rengui was wearing had faded significantly, and it was obvious that he had been wearing it for a long time.

Moreover, this young man is skilled in horse riding and martial arts. He doesn't look like a new recruit at all!

Du He smiled and explained, "Minister Liu, Xue Rengui is undoubtedly a new soldier. The armor he wears and the weapons in his hands are just items left by his ancestors."

"Xue Rengui's father died early, causing his family to fall into poverty. As a result, he had no money to replace his armor and weapons."

Then, Du He introduced Xue Rengui's identity and background to the two of them.

Liu Li nodded in sudden realization and said with emotion, "So he is from a poor family."

Children from poor families do not refer to ordinary poor people, but to those who have fallen on poverty-stricken nobles or officials.

In the mouths of many officials, the most common term used to describe ordinary people is "troublemakers."

When in use, they are called the people of the Tang Dynasty.

When not in use, they are called troublemakers.

Li Chengqian frowned and said, "Xue Rengui is so brave, but he still wears this old armor, and his weapons are so shabby. If it gets out, people will think I'm abusing my subordinates!"

"I will go to my father in person later to ask for a set of top-quality armor and a Fang Tian Hua Ji for Xue Rengui!"

The brand new armor and horse lance that Xi Junmai was wearing were also rewards given to him after he solved the problem of Hegan Chengji recognizing him as his master Li Chengqian.

It can be said that Prince Li Chengqian is really good to those who come to him for support.

He would treat his subordinates favorably to the best of his ability.

Du He looked at Li Chengqian in surprise. He didn't expect him to change his words so quickly and call Xue Rengui his subordinate.

It seems that people who are handsome and capable are more popular.

Two steps behind them, Xue Rengui's wife Liu clenched her fists excitedly after hearing the prince's praise for her husband.

"Xue Lang is going to be very successful!"

When they were taken away from Jiangzhou by a general, the couple were very nervous.

At first I thought it was some important person that had committed the crime, but I didn’t expect it was because my husband had been favored by a noble person.

"clang!"

The weapons in Xue Rengui and Xi Junmai's hands collided violently again.

After dodging, the two men moved forward more than thirty steps and then turned their horses' heads at the same time.

"Huh~"

Both of them were panting and sweating profusely.

The hand holding the weapon was also shaking slightly.

Both of them fought with all their strength without reservation, and even if they had great physical strength and endurance, they could not bear it.

Flesh and blood have their limits after all.

Even though their bodies were exhausted, the fighting spirit in their eyes remained.

Du He saw that there would be no result if they continued fighting. On the contrary, the longer they fought, the less control they would have over their weapons as they were exhausted.

If one of them is accidentally hurt, it will be a huge loss.

So Du He shouted to them, "Jun Mai, Ren Gui, please stop. Stop it."

After hearing Du He's words, the two men put away their weapons and clasped their fists to each other in a show of mutual sympathy.

"General Xi is a skilled warrior, and I admire him."

Xi Junmai shook his head and said with a smile: "Same here, Mr. Xue, you are not bad either!"

He had fought on the battlefield for many years and had much more combat experience than Xue Rengui.

He has been farming at home for many years and has never been to the battlefield. He is equally matched with others. One can imagine the strength of this warrior Xue.

As long as they fight on the battlefield for a year or two, their strength will probably improve.

The two men complimented each other, then dismounted and stopped ten steps away from Li Chengqian.

"See His Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Chengqian nodded slightly, and stretched out his hands as if pretending to support him, saying, "You two, please stand up quickly."

Then, Li Chengqian turned his gaze to Xue Rengui and praised him with a smile on his face.

"Xue Rengui, Prince Consort Du is right. Your strength is indeed extremely strong. You are even comparable to Xi Junmai, the Ten Thousand Enemies."

"Prince Consort Du has not even met you, but he has already recommended you to me and asked me to invite you to Chang'an to assist me."

"It seems that Prince Consort Du was right about you. Your abilities are far beyond my expectations!"

After hearing what the prince said, Xue Rengui realized that this handsome and extraordinary Prince Consort Du was the greatest benefactor in his life.

Xue Rengui first clasped his fists and bowed to Li Chengqian, saying, "I thank the Crown Prince for the compliment."

Then he turned sideways, bowed to Du He and said, "Thank you, Prince Consort Du, for your kindness!"

"Rengui, there is no need to be polite."

Du He waved at him with a smile on his face, and then said: "Jun Mai and Ren Gui just had a big fight, and they must be exhausted now. Let's go back to the hall and talk, and let them sit down and rest for a while."

Hearing Du He's words, Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui felt warm in their hearts.

After they returned to the main hall, Li Chengqian said to his guards, "Measure Xue Rengui's body. I will go to my father later to get a new set of armor and weapons."

For such a powerful person, Li Chengqian also used some means to win over the hearts of the people.

Xue Rengui stood up and bowed to Li Chengqian, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness."

His head is buzzing now.

He didn't expect that the Crown Prince and Prince Consort Du thought so highly of him.

If there weren't so many people here, he would have wanted to slap himself twice to see if he was dreaming.

There are countless people with great martial arts skills in the market, but most of them have not met their destined noble person, so their talents are only buried in the dust.

Unexpectedly, he was so lucky that he was noticed by a noble person.

Soon, a personal guard came over with measuring tools, measured Xue Rengui's height, arm span, waist and other parts, and recorded them.

Seeing that the Crown Prince had something else to do later, Liu Li stood up and said goodbye, "Your Highness, let's end our discussion today. I will take my leave first."

Li Chengqian stood up and said politely, "Master Liu, you have worked hard. Go back and have a good rest."

Liu Li nodded flattered, saluted Li Chengqian, and then left the East Palace with a smile on his face.

He had been in the Eastern Palace teaching the prince for so long, but this was the first time he heard the prince say to him, "Thank you for your hard work!"

It's not easy!
