For some reason, Li Qinzai felt panicked.

It is not a glorious thing for the mother-in-law to run away, second only to the mother-in-law cuckolding herself.

The Cui family only came to the Li family yesterday to explain the situation, but today even Liang Jianfang knew about it. So, is the fact that his mother-in-law ran away already known to the whole city?

Li Qinzai gradually discovered that the veterans of the Tang Dynasty seemed to be a bit old and dishonest, including his grandfather.

At this time, everyone was on the school grounds, and just as they were giving orders to the soldiers with great authority, the old guy Liang Jianfang pulled him aside and poked his heart...

"Grandpa Liang, we are ordering troops in the school field. What are you..." Li Qinzai said with an ugly face.

Liang Jianfang said nonchalantly: "I am the right-wing general. I order troops more than a hundred times a year. I am tired of it. What's the big deal. But I don't see you often when your wife runs away, haha."

Li Qinzai gritted his teeth.

Not angry, not angry.

They are elders, they are generals, they can beat ten of me...

With a smile on his face, Li Qinzai was secretly wondering if Liang Jianfang had a grandson. If so, he would beat him every time he saw him in the future...

Liang Jianfang still seemed unwilling to let him go. He hooked his arms around Li Qinzai's shoulders and said in a low voice: "If the mother-in-law ran away, she ran away. Why should a good man have no wife? If he wants to, my third child does have a daughter, or How about giving you a pair of twins?"

Li Qinzai was shocked and hurriedly declined: "Thank you Grandpa Liang for your support. I am a mediocre guy with a bad personality. How can I be worthy of Grandpa Liang's granddaughter? I don't dare."

Liang Jianfang smiled and said: "Of course I know you are a bastard, but when you say 'mediocre', you are too self-effacing. I can see that you are a smart guy and will become prosperous sooner or later. I will burn the stove in advance to avoid regrets in the future." .”

After saying that, Liang Jianfang sneered: "The Cui family missed the beautiful jade, and his daughter is also blind, and she just happened to take advantage of me. It's settled. I'll give you a pair of twin granddaughters. Buy one and get one free. It's a huge advantage. Hurry up." Have a good laugh.”

"The only difficulty is that you may have to wait a few more years because they are a little young..."

There was something wrong with these words, and Li Qinzai suddenly became alert and said, "May I ask Grandpa Liang, how old are your two granddaughters this year?"

Liang Jianfang smacked his lips and said, "Oh, what? The two granddaughters are half a year old this year and have not yet been weaned...but they both look very upright and have virtuous and virtuous faces. Please be patient and wait."

Li Qinzai: “…………”

It’s his mother’s fault!

Almost fooled!

When they grow up, it's time for Li Qinzai to call himself "old man".

Are all the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty so shameless? The vivid images in the history books of the past life all collapsed.

Li Qinzai was speechless and too lazy to talk to this old man.

Liang Jianfang was reluctant, patted him on the shoulder, and suddenly said loudly: "Mr. Li, I have just agreed on a marriage with your grandson. The twin girls of my third child have been promised to him. From now on, I will marry him." Zai is my grandson-in-law, and tomorrow the Li family will send the betrothal gift first."

Li Ji and all the veterans were suddenly stunned.

After a long time, there was a burst of curses on the command platform. It sounds shameless, old and disrespectful, and the shamelessness is endless.

Liang Jianfang was still there, and was not affected by the scolding at all. Instead, he smiled, which was particularly vulgar.

Li Ji glanced quickly at Li Qinzai.

Li Qinzai was about to explode with anger and hurriedly explained: "I'm not, I don't have it. Grandpa Liang, don't talk nonsense."

Liang Jianfang was not embarrassed. Instead, he laughed and said, "I'm so embarrassed, kid. What's there to be embarrassed about? A wife ran away, and I'll give you two wives. Tsk, you'll make a lot of money."

Li Ji sighed and said slowly: "Liang Jianfang, please show some face."

All the veterans also agreed and begged Liang Jianfang to save some face.

While everyone was laughing and joking, suddenly a eunuch appeared at the command post. He first saluted the veterans and then said to Li Ji, "My lord, the emperor's chariot has arrived outside the camp gate."

The generals tensed up, Li Ji straightened his armor, and solemnly said: "Everyone, follow me to greet the emperor."

The generals stood outside the camp gate. After a while, flags could be seen fluttering in the distance. The Yulin Guards were leading the way holding halberds. Behind the imperial army were groups of eunuchs and maids, holding the ceremonial utensils used by the emperor to travel.

A huge golden chariot appeared in everyone's sight. Behind the chariot were clouds of courtiers and retinues. Pedestrians and merchants on both sides of the road stayed away and knelt down to worship.

When the chariot stopped outside the shaft gate, Li Ji and other senior generals stepped forward and stood up to salute.

Li Qinzai also followed Li Ji and bowed.

With the help of the eunuch, a man wearing a golden dragon robe slowly stepped out of the chariot, followed by a woman wearing a phoenix crown and a brocade robe.

Li Qinzai raised his eyes and glanced quickly, then lowered his head.

He knew that the two people stepping out of the carriage were the emperor and queen.

Li Zhi, Wu Zetian, and Zuo of the Tang Dynasty for three hundred years, the couple are the most special existences, even in the thousands of years of Chinese history.

Li Zhi is in his thirties, has a beard on his lips, has an upright appearance, and is not angry but powerful.

Empress Wu was graceful and elegant, with a myriad of manners and a pair of smart and lively eyes looking at her appearance, but she was indescribably restrained.

After stepping out of the chariot, Li Zhi took two quick steps, held Li Ji's arms with both hands, and said with a smile: "Old General Mo Duo Li, I and the Queen are free to take a look. This is not a court, so there is no need to talk about the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers."

Li Ji lowered his head and said solemnly: "The etiquette cannot be discarded. How dare I lose my etiquette?"

All the veterans behind him also echoed.

Li Zhi was obviously in a good mood after seeing many famous generals.

These veterans are all the mainstays left to him by his father. Every veteran who is pulled out to the border is a nuclear bomb-level existence.

Most of the generals headed by the Tang army are here today.

After meeting the veterans respectively, Li Zhi took a glance and spotted Li Qinzai in the crowd.

There is no way, Li Qinzai is too conspicuous.

Among the group of generals wearing armor, Li Qinzai was the only one wearing a brocade robe. He was also the youngest, and his appearance was much more handsome than the old generals. With the many green leaves as a backdrop, Li Zhi spotted him at a glance.

"This is..." Li Zhi asked curiously.

Li Ji hurriedly said: "This son is the grandson of an old minister who has failed to live up to expectations, Li Qinzai. Qinzai has not yet paid homage to His Majesty."

Li Qinzai bowed his head calmly and said, "Your Majesty, um, I... uh, Li Qinzai, a common man, would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Even changing several titles didn't feel right. Li Ji's face turned green, and the generals snickered from behind.

Li Ji gritted his teeth, lowered his voice and said two words from between his teeth: "Evil beast!"

He was born into a powerful general, so it is impossible that he does not understand the etiquette before the king. What happened to this evil beast today?

Li Qinzai felt very innocent. He really didn't understand the etiquette of being a gentleman. No one had ever taught him.

Li Zhi and Empress Wu were stunned for a moment, and the couple also laughed.

Li Zhi laughed and said: "It turns out that it is the Qilin'er of the Li family who created the divine arm bow. I have heard about it for a long time. Haha, after you became a meritorious official, you have been favored by the world. Although you have no official rank, you can still call yourself 'chen'."

"Yes, I have violated my etiquette. I want to pay my respects to the Emperor and the Queen."

Li Zhi smiled again and said: "Today's troop call at the school, I invited you to watch the ceremony. Li Qinzai, you have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. I want to see how powerful the divine arm bow you have made is." "
