Happy Little Scholar

As expected of a general, the old man is old, but his body is strong. Although his eyes are as big as copper bells, he is not imposing.

However, Li Yi doesn't understand. He is not born and raised in this world. How can he know the name of an old general who suddenly appeared?

The other party is not Xue Rengui or Xue Zhiqian. He has never heard of his stories or his songs. It is not surprising that he doesn't know his name.

"Oh, the moonlight is good tonight. General Xue, please sit down. I will go out to see the moon for a while. Excuse me first..." Li Yi changed the topic very "cleverly", not to embarrass the old general, nor to embarrass himself.

"Hahaha!" The people behind General Xue laughed even louder.

Although they also felt that it was a bit too ignorant for the young man not to know Xue Wancheng's name, after all, for young people of his age, this name should have been heard since childhood. However, it made them feel quite happy to see the guy who liked to show off the most among them lose face.

"This is General Xue Wancheng." Li Xuan reminded quietly.

There is only one general surnamed Xue in Jingguo. If Li Yi didn't know it, he would be helpless.

"Ah, it turned out to be General Xue!" Li Yi showed an expression of sudden enlightenment and said hurriedly: "General Xue, please don't blame me. This is my first time attending a banquet of this level. I was a little nervous and didn't remember it for a while... General Xue's name is really well-known. I grew up listening to your deeds. It's a great honor to meet you today!"

Who can't say polite words? From this point of view, this old general is really a celebrity. In order to show the joy and excitement of a fan meeting his idol, Li Yi felt that he had used up his acting skills for two lifetimes.

If it weren't for the fact that autographs were not popular in this era, he could have acted more realistically.

"Oh, then tell me, what deeds have I done?" The old man stroked his beard, as if he accepted Li Yi's explanation just now. After all, there are not many people in this generation who have not heard of his name, so he asked casually.

A black line appeared on Li Yi's face again. Is this old man embarrassing himself?

He suddenly laughed again, looked outside the palace, and said admiringly: "The moon tonight is really good..."

General Xue pulled a few beards from his chin with his hands.

Li Yi and Li Xuan were surrounded by a group of generals.

"I say, is the heavenly punishment really caused by you?" The famous General Xue sat opposite Li Yi with a big horse and a golden sword, tearing a fat chicken leg while saying.

Li Yi did not dare to say that the reason why the chicken leg could still be kept until now was that he accidentally dropped it on the ground just now. Hearing his words, he glanced at the position of the old emperor and did not speak.

For this matter, even if Li Xuan asked him, he would not get any useful information.

Hearing the word "heavenly punishment", Li Xuan obviously became alert and quickly pricked up his ears to listen.

"Yes, little kid, remember this. No one can tell you about this except His Majesty." General Xue nodded and said with satisfaction.

"But..." After he said this, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "That thing was originally used by our military. Although the formula is unknown, the old guys sitting here know how much stuff it can contain and how many people it can kill better than anyone else. You don't have to hide it."

Li Yi then thought that the people present were the most experienced group of people in the Jing** party. The emperor would not tell them the formula, and other things could not be hidden from them.

In this case, there is nothing to worry about. Li Yi said very straightforwardly: "Yes, that thing was tinkered with by the younger generation."

"Well done!" Another veteran patted his knees, not hiding the appreciation on his face.

"You have made such a great contribution, but you only rewarded him with a viscount. Your Majesty is really getting stingy." Another old general complained, looking at him and asked: "I heard that the horseshoe was also invented by you?"

"It seems so..."

"You also came up with the method of saving people on the battlefield?"

"Maybe..."

Li Yi thought to himself that the generals are worthy of being generals, and their words are so direct, "tinkering", "making", "making", it's just too rough.

"Consider it, do you want to come to the army for a few years of experience?" General Xue stared at him with shining eyes and said: "Such a good seedling, it's a pity not to put it in the army. With you, I don't know how many soldiers will be sacrificed less. I will let Dingyuan train you personally. Maybe in a few years, my Jing country will have the youngest general in history."

Li Yi's eyelids jumped. Being an official in the court is terrible enough. If he goes to the army, it will be terrible!

How long will it take to see Ruyi every day facing a large group of rough men?

Besides, who would want to be taught by that serious-looking guy!

He rejected General Xue's proposal without even thinking about it.

When he habitually looked at the moon outside the palace, General Xue waved his hand impatiently and said, "Don't look, there is no moon tonight!"

Li Yi retracted his gaze, picked up the teacup on the table, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "The workmanship of this cup is really exquisite, I don't know where it was produced..."

General Xue said with a frown on his face, "As His Majesty said, you are a little kid, young but not small-minded. You don't care about what so many people beg for. Do you plan to be a county magistrate for the rest of your life?"

"Ah, what are these chopsticks made of? Are they made of jade? After all, this is the imperial palace, and even chopsticks are so luxurious..."

The veterans looked at each other in silence, knowing that their idea of ​​recruiting him into the army was probably going to fail.

Horseshoes, heavenly punishment, and even the method of rescuing wounded soldiers, each of these things is of great significance to them. If such a person cannot be used by the military, I am afraid that God will not agree.

When I first asked His Majesty for this, His Majesty had said that as long as he could get his consent, he could be allowed to hone his skills in the army. I thought that if they joined forces, it would be a simple matter. Who would have thought that in the face of Lao Xue's straightforward recruitment, he actually studied teacups and chopsticks...

Even if they prepared more words, it would be useless in this situation.

If it were someone else, they wouldn't care so much and would tie him up in the army first. Once there, His Majesty's words would not work. But His Majesty had clearly stated that he was not allowed to force the young man in front of him------but if he didn't force him, they would have no idea where to break through...

Even when facing the enemy siege, the veterans had never had such a headache...
