Memoirs of the Heavenly Khan

Chapter 105: Be true to your word

It was already bright, and the sun was shining brightly.

Li Shuang yawned and walked out of the room.

After a night of hustle and bustle, the Duke of Liang's Mansion had returned to peace. Li Shuang glanced at the sun and saw his attendant Hulugu Guang walking towards him.

"Lord!"

"Where did you go last night?"

"I wanted to keep watch for my lord, but somehow I drifted off to sleep," Huluguang lowered his head, "and when I woke up it was already daybreak."

Li Shuang nodded.

Hulugu looked at Li Shuang, who looked haggard.

"My Lord, did you not sleep well last night?"

"This will help me sleep well..."

Li Shuang opened his mouth but didn't say anything.

It seems that one attendant is not enough, we need to find a few more!
This way, the entire army won’t be wiped out!

backyard.

"Aru, I'm an experienced person, and I'm telling you, you have to be careful with your body!"

Princess Beixiang and Dugu Ru were knitting clothes and shoes for the newborn.

"mother!"

Erzhu Ying'e walked in, called out, then looked at Dugu Ru and greeted her.

"Third aunt!"

Dugu Ru's expression changed.

Recently she came to the Duke of Liang's Mansion and found that Erzhu Ying'e had changed a little.

Erzhu Ying'e was not much different from her, so Dugu Ru was always on guard.

Dugu Ru didn't care about Erzhu Ying'e's indifferent attitude towards her in the past.

Now this friendly look made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Girl, what's wrong with you these days? Why are you so happy?"

Erzhu Ying'e's face was full of smiles, her hands folded, leaning on Princess Beixiang.

"Why else could I? My father built an eagle farm north of Jinyang City and gave me a pair of beautiful little golden eagles!"

"Your father is the same. Doesn't this drive you even crazier? At your age, anyone else would have been married long ago. Why are you still hanging out outside all day long?"

Erzhu Ying'e called out affectionately.

"Mom, I'm not in a hurry to get married. I want to spend more time with you!"

"lies!"

Looking at the intimate mother and daughter, Dugu Ru always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Erzhu Ying'e didn't stay long and was about to leave, but she heard Princess Beixiang and Dugu Ru chatting.

"What has Third Brother been doing lately? Why can't I see him?"

"He's been recruiting new attendants recently."

"Isn't A Guang quite capable? Third brother wants to replace him?"

"Not really. My husband said it was too hard for Guang to be alone."

"That's true. Ah Guang has to practice martial arts and literature on a daily basis, and also take care of his third brother's daily life. He needs to find someone to share the burden."

……

Erzhu Ying'e, who was about to leave, heard this conversation and her smiling face suddenly fell.

No way... could he...

In an instant, Erzhu Ying'e, who was originally very happy, felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave, and felt ashamed that her secret had been made public!

"Name?"

"My surname is Hou Mochen, and my name is Chong!"

"Place of origin?"

"Wuchuan!"

"Years?"

"I'm twelve years old!" "Why do you want to be my attendant?"

"Last year, we suffered from the war and had no food at home. If it weren't for the sheep sent by General Guanjun, we would have had a hard time surviving the famine. I, Hou Mochen Chong, admire General Guanjun and have come to serve him!"

In front of Li Shuang stood a little kid with snot bubbles hanging from his nose.

"Anymore?"

"I heard that being your attendant will earn you ten strings of cash every month!"

Li Shuang smiled and looked at a burly man standing not far from the child.

"Hou Mo Chen Shun, is this your brother?"

Hou Mochenshun, one of Li Shuang's generals, said with a grin:
"My lord, my brother is sincere."

Houmochen is also a famous family. Houmochen Yue, who is now under Erzhu Rong's command, is a brave general famous in Hexi.

However, the Houmochen of Wuchuan and the Houmochen of Hexi are completely two different families.

"Your Houmochen family has a pretty good relationship with the Yuwen and Heba families. Don't they care about you?"

Li Shuang continued to ask, and heard some dissatisfaction in Hou Mochen Chong's words.

"They had agreed to leave together, saying Wuchuan was a restricted area. But for some reason, after going to Yunzhong, they ran off on their own and haven't been heard from since. I used to admire them so much when I was little, but who knew they would be so untrustworthy?"

After listening to this, Li Shuang touched Hou Mochen Chong's head.

"Ah Chong, there are very few people in this world who can keep their promises. Don't trust everyone in the future."

"I know they're not like the general. They give sheep when he says they will, send women when he says they will, and kill an entire family when he says they will..."

Hou Mochenshun heard the voice and ran over quickly, covering Hou Mochenchong's mouth. With his hands covered with snot bubbles, he looked at Li Shuang with some embarrassment.

"My lord, please don't blame me. My brother is a real man!"

Houmo Chenchong broke free from his brother's hand and continued:

"I know. Anyway, we Wuchuan people will follow the general from now on. Regardless of whether the general accepts me today or not, I will serve the general! You have to agree!"

After hearing this, Li Shuang laughed.

"Then you can stay and be my attendant!"

"Thank you, my lord!"

After Hou Mochen Shun and Hou Mochen Chong finished the ceremony, they became hesitant and opened their mouths to say something.

"Just tell me what you have to say!"

"My Lord, I have to warn you. I heard that there are several young men from Huaishuo who want to be your attendants. You must be careful. They are cunning people from Huaishuo, not as simple as us Wuchuan people."

"How to say it?"

"I heard that the generals from Huaishuo Town under the command of Duke Liang have been trying to get close to the soldiers from Huaishuo Town under your command. Those guys are related to them!"

"I understand. You guys go down first!"

"promise!"

The two brothers Hou Mo and Chen Chong had just left when Hou Jing came over not long after.

"Lord!"

Li Shuang glanced at Hou Jing and asked:

"Why are you here? Haven't Sima Ziru and his men been asking you to drink recently?"

"Of course I know what they are thinking. They just want to use my relationship to get some soldiers."

Hou Jing answered, looked around, and whispered:

"My Lord, Sima Ziru and his gang are outsiders after all, so they are easy to deal with. You must be careful of your own people."

"Watch out for whom?"

"Those Wuchuan people! They are very cunning, unlike us Huaishuo people who are so simple and honest."

Hou Jing said, reminding:

"Have you heard? After joining Yuan Shen, the three brothers Heba Yun performed great service and were recently transferred to Pingcheng. I heard that the three brothers are eyeing the soldiers from Wuchuan under the command of the lord, and are planning to seduce them!"

This is a snitch!

Li Shuang listened and sighed in his heart.

Has the fateful entanglement between the Wuchuan and Huaishuo people already begun at this time?
