Datang: An eight-year-old master of the bar, he gave everyone a blow at the beginning

Chapter 237 Bringing Mother to the Army, Yuchihuan Wins Another General
Sure enough, as Xue Rengui's mother expected, Xue Rengui came back with a hoe on his shoulders before half a stick of incense was available.

Although Xue Rengui is only 16 years old this year, he is tall and burly, and his frame is not much worse than the hulking Cheng Chumo!

And what makes Cheng Chumo jealous is that Xue Rengui has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and has good facial features!

Unlike Cheng Chumo, who has a big mouth, a wide face, and dark and rough skin, he inherited his father Cheng Yaojin's gene of a reckless man!
"You are Xue Rengui?"

Cheng Chumo was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Xue Rengui to be more mature and stable than he imagined!
In fact, Cheng Chumo was about the same age as him.But in front of Xue Rengui, his momentum felt overwhelmed!
Xue Rengui was also taken aback when he saw more than a dozen soldiers sitting at home. He didn't react until Cheng Chumo asked a question!
"I'm Xue Rengui from Xiu Village, Longmen County, Hedong. I don't know why this general is looking for me?"

Seeing that Cheng Chumo had no malice, Xue Rengui secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Rengui, this General Cheng is the eldest son of Duke Cheng Yaojin of the State of Lu. He is here today to pick you up to join the army under the order of the governor of Zhongzhou!"

Xue Rengui's mother, Mrs. He, immediately explained to Xue Rengui.

"Mother, my child will not leave you alone and go to Zhongzhou to join the army!"

Xue Rengui refused Yuchihuan's order to join the army without hesitation.

"Xue Rengui, if you are worried about your mother, you can take her there to settle down!"

Cheng Chumo also understood Xue Rengui's thoughts, and if it was him, he would not leave his mother behind.

At least Cheng Chumo is not such a selfish person!
"Can my mother follow me into the army?"

Xue Rengui's eyes shined brightly. Now the Tang Dynasty implements the Fubing system, and the Fubing can get free farming, and they are also exempted from taxes and labor!

But this time Xue Rengui was caught by Zhongzhou Governor Wei Chihuan, he must not be an ordinary soldier, and the treatment must be different!
In the Tang Dynasty, all military officers had salaries!This is much higher income than helping others plow the fields!
Xue Rengui currently doesn't have an acre of arable land in Xiu Village, and even if he had, it was sold out by his ancestors, which is why his family has fallen into ruin!

Now I rent ten mu of land from the landlord in the village for a living, and half of the income from farming is land rent!
"Xue Rengui, Captain Yuchi is very optimistic about you, I hope you can come with me, so that I can return to my life!"

Cheng Chumo didn't give Xue Rengui a definite answer, but he could take him to ask Yuchihuan!

"Okay, I am willing to go with you to meet the governor of Zhongzhou!"

Xue Rengui understands that this is an opportunity for him to change his destiny. Once he misses it, he will not come again, so he must seize the opportunity!
"Rengui, mother is waiting for your good news at home!"

Xue Rengui's old mother is also smiling, her biggest wish is to have a son Jackie Chan!

"Mother, the child will go and come back!" Xue Rengui put away the hoe and left the house.

When Cheng Chumo left, he took out a bag of beef jerky and gave it to Xue Rengui's old mother.

Xue Rengui's mother began to reject his kindness, but Cheng Chumo insisted, so Xue Rengui's mother had no choice but to accept it!

This scene was seen by Xue Rengui, and he was very grateful!

When Village Chief Xiu left Xue Rengui's old house, he urged him to not disappoint Yu Chihuan, the governor of Zhongzhou.

Xue Rengui fully agreed to the chief's request!
After all, they are orphans and widows, and their ability to live here is inseparable from the help of the village head!
……

Jiangzhou, Longmen County, Longmenguan Ferry!

In the evening, night fell to the earth, making the whole ferry dark.

Only the berth where the five-tooth boat was located was brightly lit, as bright as day!
After the sneak attack last night, Yuchi's family will have been on high alert to prevent the assassins from attacking!

The yamen servants at Longmenguan Ferry also personally helped Yuchihuan stand guard, and they were responsible for the security on the shore.

The governor of Zhongzhou governs the five states of Hedong Road, and no one dares to despise Yuchihuan.

"Today's grilled fish is not as delicious as last night's!" Yu Chihuan ate the grilled fish while waiting for Cheng Chumo to come back.

Liu Rengui sat beside him eating grilled steak, and he echoed, "The muddy smell of the Yellow River is stronger, not as good as the fish of the Wei River!"

Yuchihuan picked up the half-cooked snowflake beef again and ate it with great enjoyment.

"General Cheng is back!" After half a stick of incense, the family general happily announced the good news to Yuchihuan.

Yu Chihuan raised his head and looked in the direction of Longmen County, and sure enough, he saw Cheng Chumo and his party wearing armor.

Next to Cheng Chumo was a young man in thin cloth clothes. He was tall and big, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked like a talent!
"Is he Xue Rengui?"

Although Yu Chihuan had never met Xue Rengui, his sixth sense told him that he was right!

Cheng Chumo jumped off the horse when he reached Longmenguan Ferry and said, "Little Governor Yuchi, the general will live up to everyone's expectations and bring Xue Rengui here!"

"Cheng Chumo, bring Xue Rengui up!" Yu Chihuan was very satisfied with Cheng Chumo's efficiency.

"The general obeys orders!" Cheng Chumo didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately took Xue Rengui to the Wuya boat.

It was the first time for Xue Rengui to see such a big ship, and he was amazed by the ferocious crossbow carts on both sides of the ship.

But it was Yu Chihuan himself who shocked Xue Rengui the most!

The governor of Zhongzhou is actually a brat!

"Er...Xue Rengui, you are not polite when you see me?"

Seeing Xue Rengui's unbelievable expression, Yu Chihuan was immediately displeased!
"Xue Rengui, don't look at the young governor Yuchi, he is older and more cunning than my father!"

Cheng Chumo stood aside and chuckled, in fact, he also looked at Yuchihuan like Xue Rengui at the beginning!

It was only later that I realized how stupid I was!
"Grassman Xue Rengui sees the governor of Zhongzhou!" Xue Rengui didn't realize it until Yuchihuan spoke!
Yu Chihuan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Xue Rengui, I'm going to Zhongzhou to take up my post. Would you like to be the captain by my side?"

"Little Governor Yuchi, there is an old mother at home..."

Xue Rengui was about to ask Yuchihuan if he could take his mother to join the army, but Yuchihuan interrupted him!
"Xue Rengui, I don't have a cook around me. Your mother can cook for me. How about a monthly salary of ten shi?"

This time, Yu Chihuan not only helped Xue Rengui solve his worries, but also found a good job for his old mother!

"Thank you, little governor, I am willing to serve you!"

Xue Rengui was both surprised and delighted. He cultivated ten mu of land and only had ten shi of grain income a year.

Yu Chihuan actually gave his mother a monthly salary of ten stones of food, which was higher than the Li Chang's salary!

"Cheng Chumo, go and pick up Xue Rengui's mother right away!"

After Yu Chihuan finished speaking, he greeted Xue Rengui to sit down and eat.

"Yes!" Cheng Chumo didn't forget to take a roast leg of lamb before leaving.

Xue Rengui wanted to go home with Cheng Chumo to pick up his old mother, but Yu Chihuan obeyed his filial piety and agreed!

After a while, Cheng Chumo left Longmenguan Ferry with Yuchi's carriage!
Xue Rengui rode a tall horse and happily followed behind the carriage. He was full of hope for his future military career!
