Chapter 214 Young Eagle ()

Jiang Shaohua stayed at the foot of the mountain for another three days.

During the past three days, the guards continued to go into the mountains in groups. This time they were not hunting wild beasts, but specifically looking for newly born eaglets.

With the strength of many people, four nests of eaglets were found in three days. Including the nest that Li Tianxi found before, there were twenty-two eaglets.

Jiang Shaohua specially called Li Tianxi over and handed all the young eagles to him. He smiled and encouraged: "Raise eagles well. If you tame a goshawk, I, the princess, will get a reward."

Li Tianxi: "..."

"The princess is so respectful and loving, why don't you thank me quickly?" Liu Hengchang hurriedly reminded the stunned nephew and future son-in-law.

Only then did Li Tianxi react and thanked him repeatedly.

After retreating back to his military tent, young Li Tianxi's face almost turned into a bitter melon: "Uncle, what should I do about this!"

"How can I raise so many eagles alone? When my father was at his most powerful, he only raised two goshawks. Then one died. Now the princess has given me twenty-two eagles. Young eagle... I wanted to open my mouth just now, but why didn't my uncle let me say it? I couldn't raise it at all. "

Liu Hengchang glanced at the simple-minded Li Tianxi: "You wouldn't think that the princess would not think of such a simple thing!"

Li Tianxi was stunned: "Yes, this is obvious. How could the princess not think of it? Then why would the princess send me such a task?"

What a silly boy.

Liu Hengchang sighed secretly in his heart and patiently advised: "You can't raise so many eaglets by yourself, so naturally you have to find helpers. There is nothing else in the guard camp except for the large number of people."

Li Tianxi finally cheered: "I understand. The princess wants me to teach the other guards how to raise and train falcons."

"But... this is the housekeeping ability of our Li family. My grandfather only passed it on to my father, and my father only passed it on to me. Before coming to Nanyang County, my father also specifically asked not to spread it to anyone else."

Liu Hengchang said calmly: "It depends on how you choose."

"Your father relied on this ability to become a fifth-grade general in the border army. You are still an ordinary guard now. If you want to be promoted, you have to perform meritorious service. Daliang is relatively peaceful now, and Nanyang County is even more peaceful. If you rely on In the ordinary way, you can survive in the guard camp for twenty or thirty years and barely get a job as an official. However, are you willing to suffer like this year after year? You don't want to stand out and win the county by relying on your own ability. Is the Lord favoring me and having a bright future?”

"Yes! Of course I do!" Li Tianxi blurted out, then scratched his head: "I'm afraid that my father will be angry and beat me. Then my uncle will have to intercede for me."

Liu Hengchang smiled, reached out and patted Li Tianxi on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I have already planned it for you. Write a letter to your father first, and when your father nods his consent, it will not be too late for you to accept a disciple. When the time comes, , I will pick the smart ones from the third battalion and form another team, and you will be the captain."

There are fifty people in a team in the Guards Battalion. Those who can be captains are all outstanding, and most of them are around thirty years old. The youngest is Xiaotian, the sharp archer of the second battalion, and then there is Tao Da, the powerful giant of the first battalion.

If Li Tianxi is also promoted to captain, he will be the youngest captain.

Li Tianxi perked up and his eyes were full of joy: "I listen to my uncle."

Liu Hengchang was very satisfied.

He has only one daughter, who is four years younger than Li Tianxi. As soon as his daughter was born, he made an appointment with his cousin Liu. Li Tianxi is eighteen years old this year, and his daughter is only fourteen years old, not yet grown up. He then set the wedding date for two years later.

In his heart, Li Tianxi, his nephew and future uncle, is just like his own son.

Li Tianxi is not very smart, but fortunately he has the ability to raise and tame falcons. The princess doesn't like people to fawn over, but values ​​people with real abilities. Therefore, he asked Li Tianxi to come to Nanyang County to seek a good future.

"I will write this letter." Liu Hengchang smiled and said: "Your father knows the importance and will agree." Acquire literary and martial arts, and sell goods to the emperor's family. The princess is the emperor of Nanyang County. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the emperor of the country. Since Li Tianxi's biological father agreed with his son to come to Nanyang County, he was already mentally prepared.

Li Tianxi relieved himself of another thought and nodded repeatedly.

Liu Hengchang was both civilized and martial. Not only was he good at martial arts, he was also good at handwriting.

Li Tianxi was studying ink on the side, while Liu Hengchang picked up the pen and put down the ink, like a dragon flying around and a flying snake, and soon wrote a thick letter, which was sent to Li's house.

……

"To inform the princess, Commander Liu has written a letter and sent it to the Li family."

Meng Sanbao quietly came to report.

Jiang Shaohua smiled and glanced: "Okay, it's an honest matter, why are you so sneaky?"

Meng Sanbao smiled coquettishly, and then felt something was wrong: "The princess asked me to keep an eye on Commander Liu's movements. Isn't this a little sneaky?"

Yin Zhu, who was on the side, couldn't help but glare at Meng Sanbao: "You don't even have to think about it. Commander Liu is doing it in the open for the princess to see!"

Only then did Meng Sanbao suddenly realize, and he raised his hand to Yinzhu: "Thank you sister Yinzhu for your advice."

Yin Zhu was a little embarrassed, gave him an angry look, and then shyly apologized to the princess: "My slave is too talkative, please forgive me."

Jiang Shaohua resisted the urge to kick both of them out: "Okay, there are no outsiders, why are you so coy?"

Both Yin Zhu and Meng Sanbao's faces turned red.

Jiang Shaohua just said he didn't see it, and opened his mouth to give instructions: "Pass the word of this princess, and the personal guard camp will set off immediately."

As for this camp, it will naturally continue to remain. You can stay there when you want to go into the mountains in the future. When people go into the mountains, they can settle down and rest here.

……

Jiang Shaohua usually travels on horseback. Now that I have a little flower, I ride a carriage. Chen She and the princess rode in the same carriage and took care of the cub together.

Even the female goats that were specially used to feed the tigers were placed on the carriage at the back and fed with good fodder every day.

Xiaohua has a good appetite and drinks five or six meals of milk a day. Fortunately, the female goat has plenty of milk.

"Princess, Xiaohua is full." Chen Jinyu smiled and touched Xiaohua's back. Xiaohua's quilt was smooth and comfortable. She whined and put her head close to Jiang Shaohua's arms. It can instantly turn a person's heart into cuteness.

No wonder the girls in the boudoir like to keep cats and dogs. It is indeed fun to relieve boredom.

Jiang Shaohua pursed his lips and smiled, reaching out to play with Xiaohua's paws. Xiaohua stretched out her little paws to catch Jiang Shaohua's fingers.

Jiang Shaohua laughed casually while playing: "Sister Jinyu, you will go to Bowang County tomorrow. Do you feel timid about being close to home?"

When mentioning Bowang County, Chen Jinyu thought of her mother and had a headache: "We'll talk about tomorrow tomorrow, don't mention it now. At least let me relax for another day."

Jiang Shaohua was amused and laughed.
