wealthy lord

Chapter 857 Fulfill the promise and make an exceptional promotion

Xue Tu looked confused and raised his hand to wipe the tears from his face.

"Dad, the wounds on your body haven't been cleaned yet?"

"Let's not clean it up! Dad is already a useless person. Rather than die, it's better to do something more for you two!"

The woman seemed to understand the meaning of his words and said in surprise: "Master, are you trying to..."

Xue Kai nodded: "Yes! If my husband dies, it will definitely alarm the entire capital! I don't believe that the regent can remain indifferent!"

When the mother and son heard what he said, they cried even more sadly.

Doctor Cao also warned: "Hey, Mr. Xue, why do you give up on yourself? Although your disease is serious, it is not incurable! It's just that my medical skills are limited. If you can invite the palace doctor, maybe you can You’ll recover soon!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a shout came from outside the door.

"The Regent of the Yun Mansion has arrived~!!"

As soon as these words came out, several people in the room were stunned.

Xue Kai frowned and said, "Did my husband hear wrongly? Why did I hear someone shouting that the regent is arriving?"

Xue Tu and the woman both looked happy and said excitedly: "It's true, the regent is finally here!!"

Xue Kai endured the pain and sat up suddenly.

"Quick, help me get out of bed!! I'm going to greet the regent!"

Several people were in a hurry.

At this time, the bedroom door was opened, and Lin Yun walked in with Qi Changyun and Lu Mingyuan, followed by several guards of Prince Yun's Mansion, each of them loaded with guns and ammunition, very majestic.

As soon as Xue Kai saw Lin Yun, he burst into tears. He stumbled and fell directly to the ground. He didn't care about his embarrassment and crawled towards Lin Yun.

Just as Lin Yun was about to help him, Qi Changyun took the lead and helped Xue Kai up.

"Master Xue, you are so seriously injured, why do you still have to get out of bed?"

Lin Yun looked at him with a look of remorse.

Xue Kai was being supported, and he was very emotional and cried: "Your Majesty, you finally think of me! Fortunately, I finally completed the task you assigned me, but I ended up like this..."

Lin Yun sighed: "Hey, okay, Mr. Xue, it is indeed my fault this time! You have suffered so much! But don't worry, I have brought Dr. Lu to give you the treatment in person." Diagnosis and treatment will definitely help you get back on your feet!”

Qi Changyun quickly explained: "Xue Kai, please don't accuse the regent wrongly. I suppressed your matter and did not report it to the prince immediately! You also know that the King of Han has rebelled, and the regent has been busy with official duties recently and is really unable to do what he wants. ! No, the prince will come to see you as soon as he is done with his business!"

Not to mention that it was really him who suppressed the matter this time, even if it was indeed Lin Yun's mistake, Qi Changyun could only bear the responsibility on himself.

Xue Kai suddenly realized: "My lord, please forgive me, but I am a lower official..."

"Okay! Now is not the time to find out who is at fault! Doctor Lu, is Mr. Xue's illness okay?"

Although Lu Mingyuan had superb medical skills, he did not dare to take over everything. He bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please be patient! Let me first check Master Xue's condition!"

After that, everyone helped Xue Kai lie down on the bed again, and then Lu Mingyuan began to examine his body.

At this time, Lin Yun looked at Xue Tu, whose eyes were swollen from crying, and asked, "Who is this..."

Qi Changyun said quickly: "Xue Tu, why are you still standing there? Why don't you salute the regent!!"

Seeing Lin Yun taking the initiative to mention his son, Xue Kai was secretly happy and whispered: "Tu'er, why don't you kneel down!!"

Although Xue Tu said some unpleasant words just now, when facing Lin Yun head-on, he did not dare to make a mistake and quickly knelt on the ground. "Xue Tu, the villain, please see the regent!!"

Lin Yun smiled and nodded: "Xue Kai, how old is your son this year?"

"This kid just turned twenty this year! I'm really ashamed that he's still sitting around at home!"

Xue Kai said this very wisely. It seemed that he was belittling his son, but in fact he was asking for a title from Lin Yun.

Not to mention the senior officials of the imperial court, even ordinary people in the Daduan Dynasty knew that Lin Yun would most likely ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

Therefore, in Xue Kai's view, if his son could be directly appointed by Lin Yun, he would have a bright future.

And it was worth paying such a high price this time.

Xue Tu raised his head and clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Xiaoren once served as a sixth-rank guard in the Yun County Yulin Army for three years. But not long ago, the Yulin Army was reorganized and became the vassal army of the King of Jiangxia. A small sixth-rank official like Xiaoren, It was kicked out!”

On the side, Qi Changyun looked embarrassed. This order was a military order issued by his son Qi Rui when he became a vassal.

Xue Kai frowned and said: "Son, don't talk nonsense!! If the regent didn't mention anything, don't talk nonsense!!"

It is said that a son is better than his father. He knew very well that this son had a stubborn temper and deliberately complained in front of Lin Yun.

Lin Yun just glanced at Qi Changyun and understood what was going on.

When Qi Rui became a vassal, he would naturally not use anyone with a background in the capital. Xue Tu was the son of Xue Kai, the Minister of Punishment, and even less so.

Otherwise, if Qi Rui did something in the fiefdom, wouldn't it be leaked to the court?

Lin Yun nodded with a smile: "Sixth grade guard? Did you perform any meritorious service during your tenure?"

Xue Tu clasped his fists and said, "In the first year of my tenure, I was seconded to General Shi Bao in the Shenji Camp of Peixian County and participated in the pursuit of multiple incursions by the Chu family army!"

Lin Yun's eyes lit up: "Oh? As far as I know, the Shenji Battalion is an elite force, and it is rare for outsiders to be seconded to participate in war missions, right?"

Xue Tu said somewhat depressedly: "The villain was once the best shooter in the Royal Forest Army! But later, the bamboo gun made by the prince became very popular, and professions like the villain became unpopular!"

Lin Yun nodded: "Not bad!"

Xue Tu was a little unsure of Lin Yun's attitude and subconsciously looked at his father lying on the bed.

Xue Kai said: "Your Majesty, this boy can't speak. You must not be as knowledgeable as him!"

Lin Yun was too lazy to pay attention to him, looked at Qi Changyun aside, and said, "Master Qi, is the commander of the inner bodyguard still vacant now?"

Qi Changyun clasped his fists and said, "Yes! Ever since Quanzi went to Jiangxia County to become a vassal, there has been no one to replace the commander of the Ouchi Guards!"

"Okay, then I will make the decision for the Emperor! Xue Tu accepts the title!"

Xue Tu quickly kowtowed to the ground, feeling ecstatic in his heart.

"It stands to reason that your qualifications alone are not qualified for the position of Commander of the Ouchi Guards. However, in view of your father's great contribution to the king, I will make an exception and promote you to the position of Commander of the Ouchi Guards. Do you accept it? "

Xue Tu kowtowed three times in succession.

"Yes, I would like to thank the regent for the reward. I will be loyal to the court in the future and even more loyal to you, the prince!!"

Lin Yun was finally satisfied.

The woman standing behind was overjoyed to see her son become the commander of the imperial guards.
