Normally, someone like him would either sell himself into slavery or work as a bodyguard for a wealthy family.

In short, whatever you do is an act that disgraces your ancestors.

However, Li Shimin's recruitment of soldiers in Pyongyang gave him an opportunity to rise to power.

He not only successfully enlisted in the army, but also obtained the position of brigade commander because he knew a few characters and could speak a few words of the Tang language.

Although the position of brigade commander was nothing in the Tang Dynasty, he was still a rising star in Goguryeo at this time!

Not only did nobles who once looked up to him fawn over him, but even Gaesuwen of the Great Moli sent his eldest son, Yuan Nansheng, to give him gifts and express his willingness to form a marriage alliance with him.

This is an unexpected bonus! If our family were to form a marriage alliance with Yeon Gaesomun's family, we would instantly become top-tier nobles in Goguryeo!

Just as he was about to agree, he heard that General Cheng had summoned him.

Park Jin dared not delay, and immediately abandoned Yeon Nam-sang, running to General Cheng's residence.

You should know that he was a soldier personally recruited by General Cheng, and his position as brigade commander was also personally promoted by General Cheng.

It's no exaggeration to say that General Cheng gave me a second chance at life!

However, when he arrived at General Cheng's residence with great excitement, he was surprised to find a young boy sitting in General Cheng's seat. General Cheng, on the other hand, was standing respectfully to the side.

When Park Jin saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat. Could this young man be the eldest grandson of the Tang Dynasty?

Although the Tang Dynasty's occupation of Pyongyang was short-lived, there were many rumors circulating in the city about this eldest grandson. Many people claimed that the Tang Dynasty's rapid conquest of Pyongyang was entirely due to this eldest grandson.

If it weren't for the eldest grandson of the Tang Dynasty borrowing divine thunder from the gods, the Tang Dynasty would never have been able to conquer Liaodong City and Anshi City!

Upon thinking of this, Park Jin felt his knees buckle involuntarily, and he immediately performed a deep bow to the boy sitting in the main seat.

"This humble servant, Pu Ren, pays respects to the eldest grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty. May the eldest grandson live a thousand years..."

Li Jue smiled slightly upon hearing this.

"Rise!"

"Thank you, eldest grandson!"

"But I dare not stand to reply; please let me kneel..."

Li Jue waved his hand dismissively.

"what ever!"

"But you're pretty clever, kid. You guessed my identity right away?"

Upon hearing this, Park Jin immediately began to flatter him.

"The eldest grandson is handsome and has an extraordinary appearance. When he sits there, he is like a god descending to earth, shining brightly. The moment I saw him, my heart was stolen, and a voice in my head was shouting for me to kneel down and pay my respects..."

Li Jue was amused by the flattery. He realized that this guy was a real talent, not only had good eyesight but also a silver tongue.

"good!"

"This person is indeed quite good!"

"Uncle Cheng, the nephew-in-law you've chosen is excellent. He's destined to be a pillar of the Tang Dynasty!"

Cheng Yaojin laughed heartily upon hearing this.

"Eldest grandson, I'm not bragging, but while my fighting skills can't compare to your two masters, my eye for people is miles ahead of theirs!"

"Back then, we only caught a fleeting glimpse of you at the front lines, but we were certain that you, Grandpa, were an extraordinary man who would one day unify the world. That very night, we gathered our brothers to discuss it, and the next day we led them to join you, Grandpa! Hahaha!"

"I think this kid is alright, he's a good match for my good-for-nothing niece, and that's a good thing for my dead brother!"

Cheng Yaojin boasted for a while, then suddenly his expression turned cold, and he looked at Pu Ren with some displeasure.

"Park Jin, I heard that Yeon Gaesomun wants to arrange a marriage between you and someone else?"

"No...no...that is true, but I never agreed to it!"

Park Jin was extremely flustered at this moment. After all, it had only been a short time since Yeon Nam-sang was going to marry him, and he did not expect that General Cheng would find out so quickly!

"I intend to marry my grandniece to you, so that you may become my niece's husband. What do you think?"

"It's just that my niece has a problem; she's been married twice and her reputation isn't very good..."

Park Jin was stunned upon hearing this, and looked at Cheng Yaojin in disbelief, then at the eldest grandson of the Tang Dynasty standing to the side.

"General Cheng, are you telling the truth, or are you just playing a trick on me?"

Why would I play tricks on you?

"Father-in-law, please accept my bow!"

Park Jin kowtowed three times to Cheng Yaojin.

At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: the ancestral graves of the Pu family were emitting smoke... No, no, no, this was not just smoke, it was the graves on fire!

Who is General Cheng?

Those were meritorious officials enshrined in the Lingyan Pavilion of the Tang Dynasty, figures of considerable stature throughout the Tang Dynasty.

Even if I were to become related to him, let alone just be his dog, I could live with impunity in Goguryeo.

As for the problem General Cheng mentioned, it's not a problem for him at all.

So what if two husbands died?

Even if General Cheng's niece is deaf or blind, he will still marry her!
