Li Bai was secretly dumbfounded after hearing this. Isn't this the plot of a swordsman and a knight fighting for justice that he has been looking forward to?
Fortunately, I just laughed at others.
"Brother, you are awesome, I'm convinced!" Li Bai jumped off Xiaopang and bowed.
Tang Ping was satisfied with the fact that this boy admitted his mistakes, and then looked at the young man: "I am Tang Ping, the Duke of Tang Ping. I wonder if you have heard of my name?"
"Tang Ping?" The young man nodded: "It is said that you invented the keel waterwheel and Tang Li in the village."
"Well, the Huo Qingshi you're talking about happened to be the one who handled that case. Now Huo Qingshi has been executed and all the forces below him have been wiped out, so you don't have to hide anymore."
"Really?" The young man and the other "bandits" looked at each other. Unexpectedly, after hiding in the mountains for a while, Huo Qingshi had already killed them all.
However, if Tang Ping can bring so many black armor cavalry, it means that he is not lying.
"So... we can go home?" Those people in ragged clothes burst into tears. Although they were still alive in this mountain, they were worried all day long. They didn't know if their family members had been found by Huo Qingshi. The pressure is naturally great.
"How many more of you are there? Go and call us together. I'll call some people to take you back."
After checking the matter, they were all poor people. Tang Ping couldn't really accuse them of being captured by bandits. Even if the boy shot and injured two black armored knights, it was because of a misunderstanding and he thought they were here to search. Huo Qingshi's men who were trying to catch people.
I sent a few people to follow the boy to a cave not far away and called the remaining seven or eight people over. There were two girls inside, one of whom I think was the childhood sweetheart that the boy went to rescue in the first place.
It was almost noon, so Tang Ping asked them to have a meal together. On weekdays, there was no shortage of meat in the mountains, but there was a shortage of fruits and vegetables. A few people took the cucumbers that Tang Ping shared with them and gnawed on them.
"Jinhua, when you go back, don't go looking for your father again!"
The boy held the bowl of water and handed it to the girl named Jinhua.
"But..." Jinhua hesitated: "If you don't go back to find daddy, where will you go?"
Her father was originally the descendant of the Liu family and had some land in the village. This boy turned out to work for his family.

As a result, his father later got into the bad habit of gambling. The more he gambled, the more he lost. In the end, not only was all his land lost, but his daughter was also sold.
"I...I will support you! I...I will marry you!" She blushed slightly, but still mustered up the courage to say.
"Hey, you can do it!" Tang Ping was sitting not far away and listened to the conversation between the two. This boy was only 2 years old, so he already knew about the proposal.
But he didn't know that when he was teasing others, Wang Qingluan rolled his eyes at him, with three big words "unsatisfactory" written in his eyes.
When the boy heard Tang Ping's teasing, he turned around and kowtowed to the ground: "Ping Guo Gong, I know you are a great hero, let me follow you from now on!"
Tang Ping touched his chin: "It means you follow me and then ask me to give you a settling-in allowance so that you can get a wife, right?"
To be honest, after hearing about this kid's deeds just now, he was really tempted. Even though he was only a few years old, he was brave, resourceful, skilled in archery and capable of taking care of himself.
The boy nodded after listening to Tang Ping's words: "If Duke Ping is willing, I, Xue Li, would like to be Duke Ping's retainer."
Tang Ping's identity is Duke Ping, so following him will naturally lead to a future. Moreover, he solved Huo Qingshi, which is also a credit to him.
Moreover, he felt that if Jinhua, whom he liked, returned to her old home, her bad gambling father would never do anything wrong.
Although he is not old, he does not think it is so easy to change a person's behavior.
Coupled with the fact that the two of them share the same mind, he made up his mind to marry Jinhua, so it would be best if he could become Tang Ping's retainer now.
This retainer is different from Buqu. Strictly speaking, Lao Cui and Lao Du are still receiving salaries from the court, so they are not considered Tang Ping's retainers.
However, Tang Ping did not regard the two of them as retainers, but as his friends and relatives.
But Tang Ping didn't think about the retainers at this moment, but thought, why is the name this boy said so familiar?
"Your name is Xue Li?" Tang Ping frowned and thought for a while, but he couldn't figure out why he thought this name sounded familiar.
"Exactly!"
"Xue..." Tang Ping thought for a while. There seemed to be only one celebrity named Xue that he knew in the Tang Dynasty: "Who are you, Xue Rengui?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
When Xue Li heard Tang Ping ask this, he was stunned: "How does Duke Ping know my cousin's name?"
"Are you Xue Rengui?" Tang Ping didn't expect that a random child picked up in the wilderness would become a famous general of the Tang Dynasty.
"The younger one's surname is Xue Mingli and his courtesy name is Rengui. He is the sixth generation grandson of King Hedong of the Northern Wei Dynasty."
Tang Ping took out his mobile phone and searched. That's right, it's this kid. He is really Xue Rengui!
Historically, he was born in 614, so he is about the same age now.
Because his father Xue Gui died young and his family fell into decline. When he was young, his family was poor and his status was humble, and he made farming his profession. It's also consistent with his origin.
There is also his childhood sweetheart. I heard him call her Jinhua just now. I am afraid that it is his wife Liu Jinhua, and the wife is also right.
He was able to use a broken woodworking tool to shoot and injure two Xuanjia Cavalry detective horses when they were chasing them. This archery skill was also on par with Xue Rengui, the three-arrow Dingtian Mountain master.
So this kid is really the Xue Rengui!
For a while, Tang Ping felt that it was a little unreal.
Xue Rengui looked at Tang Ping with some anxiety. If Tang Ping didn't agree, then he would have no choice but to go with Jin Hua to find a job. Anyway, he couldn't let her go back to the gambling father to suffer.
"Okay, then you can follow me first!" Looking at his expectant eyes, Tang Ping wouldn't let this kid continue farming after meeting him, and then wait until he was thirty before leaving the mountain, right?
"I will send them back to their place of origin, and then you... your fiancée, how about I send you to Shanghe Village and settle down at Lao Cui's house first?"
Although Lao Cui's wife had a baby, Tang Ping hired someone to take care of her so that Liu Jinhua could take care of her while she was gone.
When Xue Rengui is older, just recommend him to Li Shimin.
"Thank you so much, Duke Ping!" Xue Rengui was overjoyed, and Liu Jinhua also came over to thank him with a happy face.
"Okay, no need to be polite, just call me Young Master from now on."
Unexpectedly conquering Xue Rengui on the road really gave Tang Ping the feeling of... just playing the Three Kingdoms game and conquering a famous general. Anyway, it was quite a sense of accomplishment.
Of course, he also asked Xue Rengui to apologize to the two mysterious knights he shot and injured, but he made the two mysterious knights a little embarrassed.
