Chapter 373 A Capable Newcomer

In fact, if I really want to tell him, I can. After all, they are my own soldiers and they are trustworthy.

But Xiao Tai judged others by himself and thought that his father was so stupid that he might be exposed, so he decided not to say anything, as they were all equally concerned anyway.

The old prince's mood has been quite strange in the past six months.

During that period of time, the old prince received countless letters from home.

She didn't bring anything with her, not even a jar of wine, she just kept sending letters here. At the beginning, she just asked him if he had a mistress, but at the end, the old woman got angry, and acted like, "If you have one, then so be it, I'm not going to settle the score with you, why do you have to hide it..."

The old prince was speechless.

I didn’t hide anything! I didn’t have a mistress!! Then later on, this letter said that his second son was found?

He was the Earl of Jishan County appointed by the emperor himself. He looked exactly like Xiao Tai, and his daughter looked exactly like his daughter, with a face that showed she had two pearls, and the whole family was very outstanding...blah blah blah! The old woman also wrote a letter to scold him, describing in detail the affairs of Tang Sanshui, scolding him for being irresponsible and not being able to take care of his own son. If he wasn't so unreliable, how could the child suffer so much...blah blah blah! !

Finally, the old prince was confused. After thinking carefully, he realized that he had really been to Longmen County. Could it be that he had left a seed unintentionally?

Was he so impatient when he was young? Besides, was he so efficient? In the last letter, Xiao Tai said that his eldest nephew had come to Yanmen Pass before he came, and blew half a page of paper.

The old prince was so happy that he ordered people to investigate secretly.

This check was really a surprise.

Because Tang Shifan was a new recruit, and new recruits were traditionally required to train for two years before they could do important work.

But what happened to him? On the way, they met a group of bandits, and then Brother Tang led a group of new recruits, no, they were not even new recruits, and took advantage of the other party's underestimation of the enemy, and lured the tiger away from the mountain, and lured the enemy into a trap...

In short, he pretended to be weak and lured the bandits down the mountain. They took the opportunity to go up the mountain, raided the bandits' lair, and used their weapons and terrain to defeat them.

That's very beautiful.

It's not about how clever the tactics are. You have to know that this group of new recruits come from many places. Nowadays, anyone with a little spare money will not join the army. So, they are just a bunch of scattered sand. Being able to use such people shows skill.

The military camp was in need of such talents, and since he was also good at martial arts, he became a centurion in just a few days.

When the old prince heard this, he was born to do this job. This person is definitely from the Xiao family! !

He came over secretly to take a look, and when he saw it... he almost burst into tears on the spot.

He looks too much like his son! Who would believe that he is not his own child? This is his eldest grandson!

He was looking forward to Xiao Tai giving birth to him every day, but he didn't expect that his eldest grandson would be so big now! !

The old man was extremely excited but couldn't show it, so he asked him some questions calmly on the surface.

Tang Shifan had read military books and was not stage-frightened, so he answered the questions very logically. The old man was very happy and went home to have a drink in the evening.

Everyone knew that this kid had caught the old prince's eye, but it was rare to have such a capable newcomer, so it wasn't surprising.

So during this period, whenever the old prince found an opportunity, he would occasionally chat with Tang Shifan, but he didn't dare to talk too much, otherwise it would be difficult for him to get by.

I didn't expect that today, my family would bring me some solid goods.

The old prince also wanted to be happy. What can I say? This kid was still thinking of working his way up from the bottom, but now, there is no need for that.

The border troops have a hard time, and they offer this kind of things to the army, which can amount to tens of thousands, and can really be exchanged for military merit. Of course, if you don't have the ability, it's just an empty title and a little more salary if you are promoted, but if you have the ability, you can start training!

As he was thinking this, Lieutenant General Liu came in.

Because the old prince knew Tang Shifan, his boss was happy to flatter him and let Tang Shifan in directly.

When the old prince saw his tall and straight grandson, he was filled with joy and his expression became much gentler. Then he pretended to be serious and asked, "What's the matter?"

Tang Shifan bowed and told the story.

The old prince said, "Bring the letter home, I will read it myself."

Tang Shifan was stunned and a little hesitant. Lieutenant General Liu also looked at the old prince in surprise. The old prince said shamelessly: "Why, I can't watch it?"

Tang Shifan said embarrassedly: "There is nothing wrong with reading it, but, it's just that when I was at home, I was close to my younger sister, and the letter was written by my younger sister. My younger sister is just beginning to learn calligraphy, so her handwriting is not good. I hope the general will not despise it."

The old prince thought to himself, what am I disliking! How could I disliking her! She is my own granddaughter! He grabbed Tang Shifan's letter and said, "Sit down, tell someone to count what he said and see if there is any problem."

Brigadier General Liu responded and left. The old prince poured himself a cup of tea, sat down happily, and read the letter from home carefully.

He read it once, then read it again, then he folded it casually, put it beside him, and asked, "How old is your sister?"

Tang Shifan said respectfully, "He is four years old."

"Well," the old prince raised his eyebrows and motioned him to continue. Tang Shifan tried to guess what he meant. Was he going to chat with him about family matters?

He said, "My sister is very well behaved and cute. She cried for several days when I left and held her tightly..."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

The old prince asked, "Your family is well off?"

Tang Shifan shook his head: "It's not really good, but I'm alone here, and my parents and my brother and sister must miss me very much, so they brought these things over."

The old prince continued, "I heard that your father is very, well, yes, the Earl of Jishan County was personally appointed by His Majesty."

Tang Shifan didn't expect that the old prince even knew this, and said anxiously: "It was just luck."

The old prince was very dissatisfied, and wanted to grab his grandson's hand and say to him, "Speak more! Speak more! Don't just answer one question at a time!"

His face was still calm: "Tell me what happened to Tang Sanshui?"

Tang Shifan was even more surprised, but he could only tell the story again.

The old prince gnashed his teeth as he listened, and slapped the table with his hand: "How can there be such a conscienceless person in the world! Shameless! Shameless! How dare you run into such a beastly person! I am so angry..."

He was genuinely angry and genuinely sad.

Tang Shifan was not a slow person. He was very alert. Moreover, Liang Ruoxu had said before that he looked like someone's son. In fact, he also looked a bit like the old prince. It was impossible that he was really related to them, right? But the old prince didn't say anything, so he couldn't ask. He could only continue to sit with him.

Lieutenant General Liu finished counting the items quickly and came in to report.

Although he was in charge of military affairs, he was very cheerful. He smiled and said, "It's really thoughtful. There are labels on everything, so there is no need to worry about making a mistake. Look at this, it's written clearly. Try the sachet and powder. If it really matters, we can do it according to it. And the soup, ask them to make some at noon to try the taste..."

He patted Tang Shifan on the shoulder and said, "Your team got a little more points. You deserve credit for that!"

Tang Shifan laughed hastily and said, "If I can use it, it will be worth it for my parents to worry about me. I dare not take credit for it."

Lieutenant General Liu laughed and said nothing more. The old prince said, "You can go back first."

Tang Shifan bowed and said, "General, your subordinate..."

He was about to point at the letter when the old prince said, "Okay, no need to be polite, go back now!" while putting his hand on the letter.

Tang Shifan: “…”

He left silently.
