Ji Tang

Chapter 617 The general’s tent
Wu Liu'er and others stayed in the military camp for a few days. Yesterday, the imperial reward came down. Because of his military merit, he was promoted to one level and was named General Pingnu and Military Academy Lieutenant on the left and right.

Although the number of people under his leadership remains unchanged, at least they are reused. As long as it is not war time, they will be on duty in Chang'an and will only go out with the army when there is a war.

The rank has also reached the fifth rank, and he is considered a middle-level general. He has crossed a big hurdle.

Others also received rewards. Although their official ranks remained unchanged, they were given a lot of land, money and cloth, and everyone was very happy!
Just when they were about to go outside to celebrate, the coach's soldiers suddenly came in and said that they were summoned by the coach and asked him to come over immediately.

Wu Liu'er was stunned for a moment, then thought of something and said immediately: "I'll go there right away."

After speaking, he gave instructions to several people and immediately walked towards the general's tent.

"Former military academy lieutenant Wu Liu'er is here to report!"

He stood at the door of the big tent and said loudly.

"come in!"

A somewhat heroic voice sounded, and he knew it was the voice of Duke Lu, General Zuo Wuwei.

Not daring to neglect, he quickly entered the big tent.

Cheng Yaojin was eating in the big tent, and he was seen taking big mouthfuls of noodles.Since Ji Song brought various noodle recipes to the Tang Dynasty, they quickly spread and even formed a trend that swept the Tang Dynasty.

What Cheng Yaojin ate was his favorite meat and pork noodles. The noodles can be made in advance. Just boil the noodles, add vinegar, pepper, salt and other seasonings, add a few cloves of garlic, and you will have a big fish and meat. Don't change it either.

People in Guanzhong like to eat in big mouths, and their bowls are much larger than those in other places.

Especially the generals, this kind of meal will be enjoyable!

"Sit down when you're here. Have you eaten yet?"

He chewed food in his mouth and spoke vaguely.

"The general has eaten."

Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin ignored him and quickly finished the pasta in the bowl, then drank another bowl of original noodle soup, and then burped with satisfaction!
He wiped his mouth carelessly, glanced at Wu Liu'er who was sitting upright, and said, "Did you go to Ji Song's house?"

Wu Liu'er answered truthfully: "To tell you what the general said, I went there during my vacation a few days ago. However, I didn't find out clearly. Hao Jiehou went south a year ago, so this time I was in vain."

"But I also met Mrs. Ji, the young Marquis, and even had a meal of the Marquis's delicacies. It was a worthwhile trip!"

Cheng Yaojin rolled his eyes and scolded with a smile: "You are just confused. You came to the door in a hurry without asking for details. You don't understand any rules."

"Who didn't notify the host in advance before coming to the door, and then waited for the host's notification? When you arrive, you lead a group of men in armor and stand at the door of the door, holding a stone to give gifts."

"It's such a humiliation for a man. From now on, let alone a soldier under my command, I can't afford to humiliate that man!"

Wu Liuer's face was full of embarrassment. He was also excited at the time. He finally came to Chang'an this time. If he didn't go to see the Marquis, he didn't know if he would have a chance in the future.

"Yes, the general is being reckless!"

"That's quite reckless. Don't do it again next time."

"In other words, if you go to Hao Jiehou's house, everyone in that family is kind. If you go to other houses, you will have to be kicked out."

Wu Liu'er didn't say anything as he listened, knowing that the general was teaching him.

But at the same time, I also know that this is for the sake of the Marquis. If you were an ordinary person, would they care about your life or death?

Maybe it would embarrass him because of losing face. "The old lady told me about your affairs. They made great efforts to keep you in Chang'an this time. Ji Song's father-in-law is the Minister of Household Affairs, and he is responsible for dividing the fields."

"Du Ruhui, Minister of the Ministry of War, that boy once saved his life, and he has helped you with this matter. If the old lady hadn't spoken, even my words would have been useless."

"You have to keep this in mind."

Wu Liu'er felt that his eyes were a little hot, and he quickly collected himself, stood up, bowed and clasped his fists, saying, "The great kindness of the Marquis back then will be unforgettable to me."

"Don't tell me about this." Cheng Yaojin waved his hand.

"I heard that the old lady wants to marry you?"

Wu Liu'er was stunned, but still nodded and said, "That's right. The old lady saw that we were homeless, so she wanted to give us a home."

"Well, this is a good thing. You have grown up in the military camp since you were a child, and you have also grown up under my nose. Zuowuwei is your home, and I cannot remain indifferent!"

Cheng Yaojin thought for a while and said: "Many of the girls in Paoze in the army are not married. I will ask you when the time comes. If there are any who are willing, I will let you know."

Wu Liuer was overjoyed when he heard this. He was not worried about himself, but worried about other brothers. Now that the general has said this, the rest is easy.

"Thank you, General!"

Cheng Yaojin stood up and patted him on the shoulder, and said with emotion: "I remember when I first met you, you were only thirteen or fourteen years old. I thought you were smart, so I gave you to Ji Song for training. I didn't expect you to actually train you. "

"I have seen you always supervising others over the years, but I have never taken special care of you. Do you know why?"

Wu Liuer was stunned and said: "The general manages the army strictly and rewards and punishes fairly. We will wait for him."

"Okay, okay. Stop talking about these scenes." Cheng Yaojin interrupted him and said irritably.

"The reason why I don't treat you differently is because you have been taught by that boy Ji Song. Although it has only been a few months, it is a huge opportunity for others."

"Do you know how famous that kid is now?"

"Master of arithmetic, Marquis Wu of the Tang Dynasty, God of Wealth, and a great talent recognized by literati all over the world. Wouldn't one of these names shock a lot of people?"

"Such a person has taught you that even if I don't do anything, with that kid's connections, no one will dare to take credit for your kid's achievements."

Speaking of this, he sighed a little: "Do you really think that you can get to where you are now because of your own contribution? There are many people in the military camp who have made more meritorious services than you, but why do you always get the best results every time you make meritorious deeds?" Is there a reward? He became a fifth-grade military attache of the Tang Dynasty at a young age?"

"Because they are afraid. If that kid finds out that he dares to take credit for your achievements, that kid will definitely go to their house and block the door."

"In Chang'an, except for His Majesty and a few other people, no one really wants to provoke that bastard."

Wu Liu'er was dumbfounded when he heard this. Although he knew that Mr. Hou was very capable, strong in martial arts, and quite wealthy, he never expected that he could get so many benefits from just a little involvement?

"What? Now you know how lucky you are, right?"

"Don't worry about fighting all day long. Now that all the barbarians in the Tang Dynasty are in peace, there will be fewer and fewer opportunities to fight in the future. In the future, read more books. If you have the opportunity to study at Taibai Academy, it will be of great benefit to you."

"Can I enter the academy?"

Wu Liuer's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
