Chapter 507: The Contest of Two Gentiles (Part 1)
Su Lie's curiosity did not last long, and the personal guards in his camp rushed over and reported to him about Lao Cheng's arrival.
It was not until this time that Su Lie believed that what he had just seen was true. He returned the 'Qianliyan' to Su Wanqing in a rare way, and repeatedly told him: "Little sister, you must keep this thing well and never give it to others. If General Cheng comes to you, don't give it to him."
"Yeah!" Su Wanqing nodded seriously. Compared to Su Lie, in her opinion, the telescope was something Li Muyun gave her. The meaning of it contained far greater than its actual meaning. Not to mention that Lao Cheng came to her for asking for it, even if the emperor came to her, he would not give it to her.
But Su Lie no longer had the intention to think about what his sister's idea was. Lao Cheng was still in his camp, so he had to hurry back, otherwise he would be sure to get the ball.
But when he rushed back to his camp, he found that Lao Cheng was visiting his camp accompanied by a group of playboys, observing the training of the soldiers in the camp with great interest, and didn't care much about whether he came back.
"The last general Su Lie, see General Cheng!" Su Lie, who was slightly embarrassed, seemed to have not seen him, hurried forward.
Cheng Yaojin's eyes were taken back from the soldiers standing in the playground, and he glanced at Su Lie: "Well, how about that girl Wanqing?"
"My little sister is fine, General Xie is worried." Su Lie replied.
"Yeah!" Old Cheng nodded: "That girl is the first female general in the regular army of the Tang Dynasty. Although His Majesty misses Princess Pingyang, it is obvious that His Majesty also has high hopes for her. You must help her well and don't let His Majesty down."
"Yes, I understand." Lao Cheng's instructions made Su Lie understand why he was not in the camp but the veteran gangster was not angry.
"Su Lie, do you think the military training method that Li Muyun made is of great use?" After Cheng Yaojin explained Su Wanqing's affairs, the topic changed and started to talk about military training.
Moreover, the old man clearly pointed out that it was created by Li Muyun. In response, Su Lie could only secretly apologize to his future brother-in-law, and then replied: "General, General, I think this method can indeed make the soldiers have stronger discipline, and at the same time train the soldiers' team consciousness."
"Well, I need to find an opportunity to verify it in the future!" Cheng Yaojin is also a veteran in the killing field who is old. The morale of the soldiers can be seen in just a single shot. This shows that he has recognized Su Lie's judgment.
Cheng Chumo, who was following the side, heard his old man say this and rushed over: "General, our soldiers have only been training for a month. It's much worse. The real good soldiers are there. They have been training for three months. Do you see..." Xiao Cheng said, pointing to the direction of Su Wanqing's camp, and at the same time squeezed his eyes at the old man.
Although Cheng Yaojin is usually careless and looks generous, he is definitely one of the top strict people in the Tang Dynasty when it comes to military management. This is also the reason why Xiao Cheng is called a general instead of his father.
However, Xiao Cheng's suggestion that the world is not in chaos was obviously not accepted by Lao Cheng. He turned around and glared at him and ignored him and said to Su Lie: "I was personally ordered by Your Majesty this time and will be the Grand Governor of Anbei Protectorate, and your jurisdiction will be included in it."
Su Lie was also a swaying person. Hearing this, he didn't know that Lao Cheng wanted to stay here forever. He immediately responded: "Congratulations to the Grand Commander, but the Grand Commander has given instructions to follow."
"Well! Let's do this for the time being. Training will be done as you should in the future. In addition, please invite the Prince Xiaoyao to come in a while, and the governor has something to say to him." Old Cheng put on airs and ordered while walking towards Su Lie's tent.
The main thing is almost finished, it’s time to talk about private matters!
...
At this time, Li Muyun was taking Mu Yu's little maid wandering around Shanyin City with nothing to do. The training was on track and had nothing to do with him anymore. He happened to be relaxed.
In addition, he is now very happy to walk in the city. The eyes of countless people looking up at him. That kind of vanity is definitely not something that can be enjoyed in Chang'an, so even if he has a carriage, he would not sit, and would rather walk on the ground and his legs would be numb.
"Mu Yun, Mu Yun, come quickly, something big happened!" Just as Li Mu Yun was enjoying the worship of the people, Wang Jie rushed over on his horse and shouted loudly from afar.
"What big thing happened? Is the sky falling or the ground sinking?" Li Muyun, who was startled, asked with a frown when Wang Jie came to him.
"No, the Demon King of the World is here, waiting for you in General Su's camp." In the cold sky, Wang Jie said with panting with gasps on his head.
"The Demon King of the World? Cheng Yaojin?" Li Muyun reacted for a moment before he knew who Wang Jie was talking about.
"Yes, it's him!"
Seeing Wang Jie's anxious look, Li Muyun shook his head: "If you don't go, it's almost the same for him to come to see me. I'm the prince, he's just a duke. I'm going to see him for Mao."
"..." Wang Jie was almost choked to death by Li Muyun's words, and stared at him with a dazed look.
According to the Tang Dynasty, the princes were the first rank, and the Duke of the State also followed the first rank. In other words, Cheng Yaojin's official position was not smaller than that of Li Muyun.
Another point is that Cheng Yaojin is a real power duke and has military power, while Li Muyun is just an empty prince. In this way, he is immediately an order of magnitude lower than Old Cheng.
But He Li Muyun, a second-hand man, had poor basic knowledge and was completely unaware of the lack of level gap between the prince and the Duke. He was complacent and thought that he was more advanced than Lao Cheng.
Fortunately, the little maid Mu Yu was smart at this time. She pulled Li Muyun's sleeve and reminded: "Young Master, the Duke and the Prince are on the same level, and your official position is not greater than that of General Cheng!"
"What?" Li Muyun, who originally thought he was awesome, was stunned: "I'm not as big as him?"
Wang Jie and Mu Yu shook their heads together and made it clear that his official position is indeed not as good as that of Old Cheng Da.
Li Muyun blinked his eyes, walked around the place awkwardly for a few times, and finally said helplessly: "Okay, okay! Then give him some face and let him eat his father's cake!"
It was so embarrassing and vulgar. Mu Yu lowered his head silently, and Wang Jie rolled his eyes and expressed serious contempt for Li Muyun's stubborn look.
But Li Muyun shrugged her shoulders as if nothing had happened, turned around and urged them: "Hey, I'm telling you two, why are you two? I don't know if you are already in a hurry here and are still rushing there!"
