Chapter 373: A Capable Newcomer
In fact, if you really want to tell him, you can say it, after all, you are using your own soldiers, so it is credible.
But Xiao Tai has already saved others, and feels that his father is so stupid that he might reveal his secrets, so it's better not to talk about it, anyway, he cares about the same thing.
In the past six months, the old prince's mood is also quite strange.
A while ago, the old prince received countless letters from home.
I didn’t send anything, not even a jar of wine, I just kept sending letters here, first I just asked him if he had raised a concubine, and then the old woman lost her temper, as if you have raised it, I will raise it. I don't ask you to settle accounts, so I use it to hide it... like.
The old prince was speechless.
I didn't hide or tuck! I didn't have an outside room! !
As a result, the letter later said that he had found his second son?
It is Jishan county uncle who was proclaimed by the holy majesty, who looks exactly like Xiao Tai, and his girl looks exactly like his daughter, with double pearls on her face, and the whole family is very good... oh, oh, oh!
The old woman also wrote a letter and scolded him severely, writing about Tang Sanshui's affairs in detail, scolding him for being irresponsible, even her own son can't stand it, if he wasn't too unreliable, why would the child suffer so much... ... blah blah blah! !
In the end, the old prince was puzzled. After thinking about it carefully, he had really been to Longmen County. Could it be that he had inadvertently... left a seed? ?
Was he so impatient when he was young? Besides, is he that efficient?
In the last letter, Xiao Tai said that his eldest nephew came to Yanmen to close before he came, and he blew half a page.
The old prince was so happy, so he asked someone to investigate secretly.
This investigation was really a surprise.
Because Tang Shifan was a new soldier, when a new soldier came, he had to train for two years first, so he couldn't do important work.
But what about him?
The group of them met a group of bandits on the road, and then Big Brother Tang brought a group of recruits, no, they were not even considered recruits. Taking advantage of the opponent's underestimation of the enemy, they came to Tiaohulishan and invited you into the urn...
In short, they just pretended to be weak and lured the gang of thieves down the mountain. They took the opportunity to go up the mountain, raided the gang's lair, and used their weapons and the terrain to clean up the gang.
This is very beautiful.
It doesn't matter whether the tactics are good or not. You must know that this group of recruits came from many places. These days, anyone with some spare money will not be a soldier. Therefore, it is a mess. Use it, this is the skill.
There is a shortage of such talents in the barracks, and he can also kung fu, so within a few days, there are hundreds of households.
When the old prince heard it, he was born to eat this bowl of rice. This is definitely the seed of the Xiao family! !
He secretly rubbed over to take a look, and after a look... he almost didn't cry on the spot.
He looks so much like his son! ! Who would believe that it wasn't his kind! ! This is his eldest grandson!
He still hoped that Xiao Tai would give birth to him every day, but he didn't expect his eldest grandson to be so big! !
The old man was very excited but couldn't show it, so he asked him some questions calmly on the surface.
Tang Shifan had read military books, and he was not stage-frightened, so he answered logically. The old man went back to drink some wine in the evening happily.
Everyone knew that this kid had caught the attention of the old prince, but it was not surprising that such a capable newcomer was rare.
So these days, whenever the old prince finds an opportunity, he will chat with Tang Shifan occasionally, and he doesn't dare to talk too much, otherwise he will be difficult to mix.
Unexpectedly, today, as soon as the family made a move... they brought hard goods.
The old prince also wanted to have fun, what to say, this kid was still thinking about getting around slowly from the bottom, but now, it really doesn't matter.
The frontier army suffers, and offering this kind of thing to the army can cost tens of thousands of dollars. It can really be exchanged for military merit. But those who have the ability can practice it!
As he thought about it, General Liu Shen brought people in from outside.
Because the old prince knew Tang Shifan, his boss was happy to make a good sale and let Tang Shifan come in by himself.
When the old prince saw his tall and tall grandson, he was filled with joy, and his expression softened a lot. Then he pretended to be serious and said, "What's the matter?"
Tang Shifan saluted and explained the matter.
The old prince said: "Bring the family letter, I will read it myself."
Tang Shifan was taken aback, a little hesitant, General Liu Shen also looked at the old prince in surprise, and the old prince said cheekily, "Why, can't you watch?"
Tang Shifan said embarrassingly: "There's nothing you can't read. It's just that I was close to my younger sister when I was at home. The letter was written by my younger sister. My younger sister is just learning to write. I can't write well. Please don't write it. dislike."
The old prince said in his heart what I dislike! How could I dislike it! That is the granddaughter of my direct relative! !
He picked up Tang Shifan's family letter and said, "Sit down, and tell someone to count what he said, and see if there is any problem."
General Liu Shen responded and went. The old prince poured a cup of tea, sat down happily, and read the family letter carefully.
After reading it again and again, he folded it casually and put it by his hand, and said, "How old is your sister?"
Tang Shifan said respectfully: "One year old is four years old."
"Well," the old prince raised his eyebrows and motioned him to continue. Tang Shifan wondered what he meant. Could it be that he wanted to have a family affair with him?
He said: "My sister is very obedient and cute. When I left, she cried for several days, and she hugged me and didn't let go..."
The old prince said: "Your family is not bad?"
Tang Shifan shook his head: "It's really not good, but I'm here alone. My parents, mother, siblings must all miss me very much, so I brought these things here."
The old prince said again: "I heard that your father is very good, cough, yes, Jishan county uncle who was appointed by the holy majesty."
Tang Shifan didn't expect the old prince to know this, and said anxiously, "It's just a fluke."
The old prince was very dissatisfied, and wished he could hold his grandson's hand and tell him, please say more! You should say more! Don't ask a question and answer it!
The face was still very calm: "Tell me what happened to Tang Sanshui?"
Tang Shifan was even more surprised, but he could only tell the story once.
The old prince gritted his teeth, and slapped the table with a slap: "There are such heartless people in the world!! Shameless!! Shameless!! You are actually asked to put such a person who is not as good as a beast!! I am so angry It's..."
He was genuinely angry and genuinely sad.
Tang Shifan was not a dull person, he was very alert, what's more, Liang Ruoxu said before that he looked like someone else's son. In fact, they are somewhat like the old princes, it is impossible to have some relatives with them, right?
But if the old prince didn't say anything, he couldn't ask this question, so he could only continue to sit with him.
General Liu Shen quickly finished counting things and came in to report.
Although he is in charge of military affairs, he is very straightforward. He said with a smile, "He is really thoughtful. Everything is marked on everything, so you don't have to worry about making a mistake. Look at this, it's written clearly. Try the sachet Medicine powder and so on, if it really matters, we can follow suit. And that soup, ask them to make some at noon to try the taste..."
He patted Tang Shifan on the shoulder: "Your centurions have a little more points, you deserve credit!"
Tang Shifan laughed anxiously: "If it can be used, it will not be in vain for the parents at home. I dare not take credit for the bid."
General Liu Shen laughed and didn't say any more, the old prince said: "You go back first."
Tang Shifan gave a salute and said, "General, the one under the mark..."
He was about to point to the family letter, when the old prince said: "Okay, you're welcome, go back quickly!" He pressed his hand on the family letter.
Tang Shifan: "..."
He quietly withdrew.
