Chapter 1003: Xue Li, the Fire Head Army
1003. Huotou Army Xue Li
Hearing Xue Rengui's words, Li Daozong also appreciated it very much, and praised it from the bottom of his heart: "It is really a righteous person." When he lowered his head and thought about how to deal with it, whether to accept it or not, Li Daozong was stunned, his eyes were fixed, and he stared at Xue Rengui suddenly, "Xue Zhuangshi, can you let me see this jade jue?" As he spoke, Li Daozong pointed to the jade jue around Xue Rengui's neck, and he couldn't hide his surprise.
Xue Rengui was also stunned, his eyes were full of suspicion, as if he had thought of something, and silently took off the half of the yellow and white jade, handed it to Li Daozong, and saw how Li Daozong spoke.
After Li Daozong took the jade jue, he looked at the sun, he was stunned, a trace of horror flashed in his eyes, he touched a piece of jade jue lined on his waist, thoughtfully, and then returned the jade jue to Xue Rengui, and stared: "Take the liberty of asking Xue Zhuangshi, where did this half of the jade come from?" And why is there only half of it left? ”
Xue Rengui's eyes were also burning when he heard this, and he thought about it and said: "This is a gift from a young man who passed by when he was a child, and I don't know its origin."
After saying that, Zhou Qing, who was thoughtful and agile on the side, quickly realized something, looked at Li Daozong hopefully and said: "It was a gift from a little boy who went to Chang'an from Taiyuan at the end of the fourteenth year of the Great Cause, and the little boy was only three or four years old at the time."
Li Daozong was also shocked when he heard it, at the end of the fourteenth year of the great cause, at the age of three or four, he went from Taiyuan to Chang'an, and his son was ...... Isn't this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
This jade jue is a jade jue that only the children of the Li family in Longxi wear, and Li Daozong can recognize it at a glance.
Looking at the white-robed and armed-wielding young man in front of him, Li Daozong secretly thought: Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an old relationship with him? But why not tell them who they are? Li Daozong's brows furrowed slightly.
After thinking about it, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't tell him, he pretended not to know, and took them into the army, and when he met with the prince in the coming day, he would ask him again.
Immediately, Li Daozong also smiled kindly: "Well, this jade jue is in good condition", and looked at Xue Rengui and the others as he spoke, "Since you righteous men have come thousands of miles to serve the country and kill prisoners, and if you return to your hometown, it will inevitably make the righteous people feel cold, then you will be allowed to join the army, remember, after joining the army, you must abide by military discipline and military law." Li Daozong ignored the matter of the jade jue without a trace and skipped this topic.
Xue Rengui and the three of them were also overjoyed when they heard it, and they were busy thanking them, and Li Daozong said to Zhang Baoxiang next to him: "Then there is Deputy Chief Manager Lao Zhang to properly settle it."
Zhang Baoxiang grabbed the reins, and looked at Xue Rengui and the others with a hint of displeasure flashing in their eyes, but they didn't dare to disobey Li Daozong's words, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, the chief manager, such a righteous man, my old Zhang will definitely not be lazy."
Li Daozong glanced at Zhang Baoxiang in surprise, and some suspicion flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, nodded, glanced at Xue Rengui and the others, and then rode forward, but as the head of the first army, he didn't need to worry about this trivial matter.
After Li Daozong left, Zhang Baoxiang's face turned cold, and he laughed, "Righteous people, hehe, come with this deputy manager." Let's lead the way before hitting the horse's head.
Xue Rengui and the three of them glanced at each other, and Zhou Qing frowned deeply, "Big brother, this guy seems to have an opinion on us."
"Yes, you listen to him, lukewarm, and you get angry when you listen to it." Xue Xiantu also snorted coldly, pouted and said,
"Okay, be quiet, be careful, don't fall into the hands of others, we'll be fine." Xue Rengui looked at Zhang Baoxiang's departing back and pondered with his eyes, a little puzzled.
The three of them followed Zhang Baoxiang, Zhang Baoxiang led them directly to the rear army, pointed to the miscellaneous soldiers who carried pots and pans on their backs and pushed the baggage cart and said: "It just so happens that the Huotou Army is still short of people, Xue Li, you go to the Huotou Army first, well, you two hundred people, just do one brigade, you can be a brigade commander, remember, don't violate military discipline, otherwise, hehe, I can't spare you."
Looking at the heroic Xue Rengui and the others, Zhang Baoxiang sneered in his heart. It was because these three guys were given a training by the general manager before, and the special righteous should not be insulted, I'm bah, bullshit righteous man, come and cook for Lao Tzu obediently. When he saw Lao Tzu, the deputy head of a large army did not salute, and looked down on me Lao Zhang, thinking that I had not read.
Zhang Baoxiang was born in a reckless manner, in the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he was originally a horse bandit in the northwest, and later became the general of the Western Qin State of Xue Rengao, after the destruction of the Western Qin, he voted for the Tang Dynasty, until now, this guy is still that virtuous, he doesn't read and doesn't know etiquette, others respect him, he feels that he has more face, others ignore him, he feels that he is looked down on you, this is an inferiority complex, but also a pathological psychology.
Xue Rengui and the three of them were shocked and angry when they heard this, Xue Xiantu frowned, and shouted: "Why, we don't want to cook, I want to go into battle to kill the enemy."
Zhou Qing also looked indignant, and said bluntly: "Deputy Chief, a few of our brothers are full of martial arts, and they can also fight a few Turkic thieves, and they are really unwilling to be this firehead army, so I ask the deputy chief to make another arrangement."
"Heh, make another arrangement? You are the chief manager, this is a military order, as the deputy commander, I am ordered to place you, you have to listen, whether you are a dragon or a tiger, you have to hold the plate when you come to my command, what's the matter, is this an attempt to disobey the military order? Zhang Baoxiang snorted coldly, waved the horsewhip in his hand and shouted. As soon as the words of disobedience to the military order were spoken, Zhang Baoxiang's pro-army behind him was holding the hilt of the knife, and it seemed that as long as Zhang Baoxiang gave the order, they would step forward to capture Xue Rengui and others.
Xue Xiantu's face was flushed, and he glared angrily, Xue Rengui patted his hand, and replied: "But it depends on the arrangement of the deputy director."
Zhang Baobao looked at these more than 200 people in tattered clothes with gloomy eyes, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he turned his head and left.
"Straight lady thief, this is obviously aimed at us again, Huotou Army, it's really embarrassing to say it, we came all the way to join the army, just to cook?" Xue Xiantu looked at the ugly Huotou military uniform in his hand, and threw it to the side angrily and scolded.
"The official level crushes people to death, not to mention that he is the deputy head of the army, and he only needs a name for disobeying military orders to kill us all, what can we do?" Zhou Qing on the side also looked depressed and annoyed, and sat on the ground and sighed.
"Alas, I said what are you two doing, and there are no dead people, as for being so pessimistic, quickly change into military uniforms, otherwise it will be true again later." Xue Rengui smiled, but he was quite optimistic, and put on the simple and ugly Huotou Army uniform. He looked at the firehead equipment assigned to their brigade again, knocked on the huge rice bucket, and said with a straight smile: "It's not too bad, at least, this firehead army can't eat."
