Chapter 1689 Hiding in Peace

Chapter 1689 Hiding in Peace
Lu Zhishen's face instantly turned into a bitter melon. The Western Regions was so large, and the people sent there had to be able to lead troops in battle and handle government affairs. This kind of talent was the most in need in the army. Where would he get the manpower?
"You are making things difficult for me. Where can I find another Zhu Wu?"

Lu Zhishen looked at Sun Lei angrily. Not to mention Zhu Wu, he couldn't even choose a replacement for anyone else. He was now fed up with the position of Privy Councilor.

"There are so many people, Wu Song, Hua Rong, Pang Wanchun, Yuan Lang and others can all go."

Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhishen and said, although there are few people, it is not impossible to select some.

"That's easy for you to say. I asked yesterday. Sister Jinlian is pregnant, and Sister Hua is also pregnant. Brother Wanchun and Brother Yuanlang have just gotten married..."

Lu Zhishen complained directly, it was not that he didn’t want to choose people, but that he couldn’t choose people.

"So fast!"

Sun Lei was also surprised. It seemed that everyone had been busy this time.

"Don't say they don't have time, even Tie Niu doesn't have time."

Lu Zhishen continued to say that he had even taken Li Kui into consideration. Of course, he couldn't send Li Kui out alone, as this guy would only cause trouble if he went out.

"That's a problem. It will take a year once you get out. Have you asked them?"

Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhishen and asked.

"I'm too embarrassed to speak!"

Lu Zhishen waved his hands and said that other people had things going on at home, so how could he have the nerve to speak up.

"You didn't even ask, so how do you know they don't want to go out? You know how hard it is to get military merit now. There's only war in the West, and this war won't last long, so military merit will only get less and less!"

Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhishen and said, how do you know that others don’t want to go out without asking?
"Then go ask. I can't open my mouth."

Lu Zhishen insisted that he was too shy to say anything that would separate his brothers.

"That's what I say, let's go!"

Sun Lei didn't care and immediately pulled Lu Zhishen out of the palace and down the mountain.

"Your Majesty! Master Lu!"

On the Golden Beach, Ruan Xiaoer saw Sun Lei and Lu Zhishen coming, and hurriedly smiled and clasped his fists.

"Waiter, let's go to the city!"

Sun Lei greeted immediately.

Ruan Xiaoer immediately called on the soldiers to drive the boat.

"Xiaoer, if I send you out to sea in exchange for Xiaowu, would you be willing?"

Sun Lei looked at Ruan Xiaoer and asked.

"Brother, I can really get out!"

Ruan Xiaoer looked at Sun Lei with surprise and started addressing him as brother.

"Just say whether you are willing or not."

Sun Lei did not answer and continued to ask.

"I'd love to, brother. You don't know, my wife at home is so annoying to me. She used to complain about her stomach not working every day, and I asked Doctor An Shen to prescribe a lot of medicine. Now that I'm pregnant, she's been making a lot of noise at home all day. I'm so annoyed!"

Ruan Xiaoer looked at Sun Lei excitedly. He was eager to take his troops out and have some quiet time.

"Don't you miss home?"

Lu Zhishen looked at Ruan Xiaoer and asked.

"Master, I am a sailor, and my ironclad ship is fast. It only takes more than two months to go back and forth. If I really want to come back, I can ask for His Majesty's grace and come back."

Ruan Xiaoer said that it was extremely difficult for the army to go far to the West, but it was too easy for their navy.

"What's more, we will get a lot of military merits and rewards when we go out, and we will return home in glory!"

Ruan Xiaoer continued with a smile, saying that going out is not all about peace and quiet, but also about doing serious work. He was more than happy to have a chance to kill two birds with one stone.

"Then I'll let you change it and let Xiaowu come back." Sun Lei said with a smile.

"Thank you brother!"

Ruan Xiaoer quickly saluted.

"Look, Xiaoer is so happy, but you are so shameless!"

Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhishen proudly as he showed off.

"Xiaoer, how can you be like this! You don't even want your wife and children, but you still have your mother!"

Lu Zhishen looked at Ruan Xiaoer as if he was looking at an irresponsible and unfaithful man.

"Master, you know me well. I am a rough man. I used to fish by the water in my early years. I am blessed to have been supported by my brother for eighteen lifetimes. I have no problem helping my brother to expand the territory and defeat the enemy, but...but these things in the court now...are really a headache for me. I would rather go out and kill for a while."

Ruan Xiaoer looked at Lu Zhishen and said that another reason he wanted to go out was that he was annoyed by these tedious military affairs.

"Now that you mention it, I want to go out too!"

Lu Zhishen touched his big bald head and thought. He was also very annoyed, so he might as well go out and kill some.

"Look at you. You had a bitter face just now, but now you are so proud."

Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhishen speechlessly. This guy changed his expression so quickly.

"Master, are you going out too? Or why don't you stay? We have to keep some people in the army! My brother needs help too."

Ruan Xiaoer looked at Lu Zhishen and said.

"Hey, you just run away to seek peace and quiet, leaving me to suffer here. You have no loyalty!"

Lu Zhishen looked at Ruan Xiaoer and said.

"Master, our navy is short of people. Japan and Goryeo have sent two armies, the South China Sea has sent three armies, and Persia has sent two armies. We still need to keep some people in the Qi Sea area. I have no choice but to go out!"

Ruan Xiaoer said with a smile.

"Waiter, when did you become so good at making excuses? If you are short of people, just tell me earlier and I will arrange them right away. I will give more military academy graduates to your navy!"

Lu Zhishen looked at Ruan Xiaoer and joked.

"Thank you very much, Master!"

Ruan Xiaoer didn't care about Lu Zhishen's joke. He thought that the more manpower the better.

As they were chatting and laughing, the boat arrived at the waterside pavilion behind the Youguqi Restaurant.

Sun Lei took Lu Zhishen and Ruan Xiaoer to Wu Song's home. Wu Song's mansion was right next to the water.

"Brother, Master, and Xiaoer!"

When Wu Song saw the three men coming, he immediately put down the wine bowl in his hand, stood up and shouted.

"Erlang, why are you drinking alone?"

Sun Lei asked as he looked at Wu Song who was drinking in the yard.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh. Jinlian took the kids to visit relatives. We didn't have many relatives before, but now there are so many aunts and cousins!"

Wu Song said helplessly that Pan Jinlian was an orphan before and she didn't have any relatives to rely on, so she could only sell herself as a servant. Later, her brothers helped her and they got married. At that time, no relatives came to congratulate her. Now that she has become rich, a lot of people have come to her.

"I asked Wen Huanzhang and Xiao Er to play a trick on you. They didn't dare to bother you, but now you're trying to find another way?"

Sun Lei immediately understood the reason. Men are all strong-willed and decisive in handling things. Now that they have learned from previous experience, they will be even more efficient.

But it is different for the wife at home. Women are naturally emotional and easily swayed by emotions, especially women like Pan Jinlian who lack family affection. Now that relatives come to recognize her, she will let go of everything in the past and recognize her regardless of anything after she cries and complains.

“The power of the people is truly limitless!”

Sun Lei sighed.
