Chapter 136: Boil the Eagle
"Brother Hachi, the sun is so strong, you should go to a cool place to rest for a while. The master is talking to Uncle Guo and Master Sun now, it's still early!"
Outside the study of the General Military Mansion of Liaodong Town, looking at the Nuerhachi brothers standing upright in the courtyard under the scorching sun, waiting for Li Chengliang to summon them, a pretty little maid came out of the study and pulled them to a shady place.
Go and wait.
But facing the tall and strong Nuerhachi brothers, the petite little maid couldn't hold them back.
"Haha, no need, Sister Li, we'll just wait here for the master."
Faced with the pull of this pretty maid, slave Hachi just moved slightly, broke away from her little hand, and continued to stand steadily in the scorching sun.
"You are a stubborn ass!"
Seeing that Nuerhachi and the others could not be held back, the little maid immediately left angrily.
However, a moment later, the pretty maid who had just left angrily came back with two large bowls of cold tea, and brought them directly in front of Brother Nuerhachi.
"Drink quickly, you two stubborn donkeys!"
Although she was 'scolding' Brother Nuerhachi, the concern and love in the little maid's eyes when she looked at Nuerhachi could not be hidden.
"Thank you very much, Sister Li, hehe!"
After being under the scorching sun for so long, Brother Nuerhachi, who was already unbearably hot, was not polite. He took the herbal tea and drank it in big gulps.
"Why are you two so stubborn? I can't see you in the house!"
The little maid was wiping Nuer Hachi's sweaty bald head with a handkerchief, while muttering in a low voice.
"Sister Li, I did something wrong. It's nothing to bask in the sun. It won't be a problem. You should leave quickly, otherwise I will implicate you, and I will..."
"You stubborn donkey, stupid donkey!"
Seeing that Brother Nuerhachi still refused to rest in the shade despite the scorching sun, the little maid had no choice but to leave muttering with the empty bowl.
"Brother, Sister Li is quite nice, hehe!"
After looking at the pretty maid who turned to leave, Shuerhaqi couldn't help but turn his head and smile at his elder brother.
"Don't forget that we are just other people's servants now! If you have the opportunity to escape from here this time, you must seize the opportunity!"
Looking at the direction where the little maid was leaving, Nuerhachi shook his head secretly, turned his head and whispered solemnly to Shuerhaqi!
It turned out that in order to allow Shuerhaqi to enter the Yulin Guard and get rid of his status as a slave, this was the third time that the Nuerhachi brothers came to see Li Chengliang.
It's just that the Nurhachi brothers, as members of Li Chengliang's family, chose another 'high branch' behind their master's back without permission, which made Li Chengliang very dissatisfied. Therefore, they ignored several requests for an audience.
So there was no other way. The Nuerhachi brothers had no choice but to use this "bitter trick" to get Li Chengliang's forgiveness.
…
"General Li, your majesty is preparing to expand Yulin. It is the time when talents are needed. The general sees that Shuerhaqi has a strong figure and is of the right age. I wonder if Mr. Li can give up his love?"
The Nurhachi brothers, who had stood under the scorching sun for more than two hours in midsummer, were feeling dizzy from the sun when they suddenly heard Wang Bing's plea to Li Chengliang.
It turned out that when Li Chengliang sent him out from the study, it seemed that the time was almost up, so Wang Bing asked Li Chengliang for help.
"Uncle, are you joking? They are just two barbarian slaves who have betrayed their master. How can they be worthy of joining His Majesty's Yulin army!"
Seeing that Wang Bing really wanted to recruit Shuerhaqi into the Yulin Guard, Li Chengliang couldn't help but look surprised.
You must know that since ancient times, the first priority for the emperor's personal soldiers and guards is to have a clean family background. Has there ever been an example of recruiting foreigners into the army?
"Master, this slave is wronged! This slave has never had any intention of betraying his master. This slave is just, just..."
Hearing Li Chengliang's words "Slave carrying the master", slave Hachi, who was dizzy from the scorching sun, quickly pulled Shuerhaqi to kneel down, ignoring the floor that was scorching hot from the scorching sun, and rushed forward.
Li Chengliang kowtowed his head.
"General Li, I think these two people are quite loyal. If they can do something in the future, wouldn't they be bringing honor to you, General Li? Haha!"
Seeing Li Chengliang's "cooperation", Wang Bing once again began to plead for the boar skin and his brother.
"Grandpa, aren't you just a slave? Why don't you want to part with it? Hehe!"
"Humph, for the sake of Uncle Guo, I will spare you this time, and let Shuerhaqi follow Uncle Guo to Yulinwei later!"
After being begged for mercy by Wang Bing, the uncle of the country, and his grandson, Li Chengliang finally relented and handed over Shuerhaqi to Wang Bing.
"Slave, thank you for your kindness! Thank you for your kindness, uncle!"
After hearing that Li Chengliang agreed to let Shuerhaqi leave the General Military Mansion, Nuerhachi, who had just stopped kowtowing, kowtowed to Li Chengliang again.
"Okay, okay, get up. After you join the Yulin Guards, do your best to serve His Majesty on your errands, and don't lose the face of our Liaodong Army!"
Seeing the Nu'er Hachi brothers kowtowing like garlic, Li Chengliang waved his hand and asked the two brothers to stand up.
…
"Shulhaqi, right? From today on, let me grow my hair first, and then change my clothes later!"
After coming out of the General Military Mansion, he glanced at Shuerhaqi who was following him. The first order Wang Bing gave him was to grow his hair.
"Uncle Guo, why..."
"Don't ask why, it is a soldier's bounden duty to execute orders! Besides, there are no uncles in the Habayashi Guards. From now on, they will be called generals!"
Before Shuerhaqi could finish speaking, Wang Bing spoke forcefully to interrupt his questioning.
"Come on, I obey!"
After being forcefully interrupted by Wang Bing, Shuerhaqi did not dare to ask any more questions and quickly agreed repeatedly.
"Also, please remember, general, that there are no slaves in the Habayashi Guards either!"
Hearing Shuerhaqi's self-identification, Wang Bing couldn't help but frown again.
"Uh, slave... remember the mark!"
Hearing Wang Bing's scolding, Shuerhaqi quickly changed his title.
‘Damn it, if you dare to ask Han people to shave their hair and change clothes, I’ll start with you today and let me grow your hair and change clothes. One day, I will let you all grow your hair and change clothes, hehe!’
When taking Shuerhaqi back to the Yulin Guards' station, Wang Bing couldn't help but scream viciously in his heart.
…
"Hmph, this kid is quite courageous. He actually used me to help him get up, which makes me look down on him a little!"
Seeing Wang Bing leaving the house followed by Shuerhaqi, Li Chengliang, who was the commander-in-chief of the town, could not see it at this time. Unknowingly, he was being pawned by Wang Bing.
'!.
"Hehe, if you are not brave enough, how dare the third child lead a group of us across the Duoyan Department!"
Seeing his grandfather's slightly annoyed expression, Li Zunzu on the side couldn't help but gloated and laughed.
