Chapter 220: The End of the Year (2)(2/2)

Li Jinglong shook his head.

"Just like your father!" the old man said, "This kid is just like your father when he was a child. He looks stupid, but he actually knows it in his heart. He usually doesn't care about him, but when the critical moment comes, he can count on him!"

The old man started chatting, "When your father was raised by our side, he was always idle in studying and practicing martial arts. Maybe it was because he suffered a lot when he was a child. He liked eating, drinking, and being well-dressed most. He was like a rich young master all day long!"

"But later on when he came to the battlefield and knew that he wanted to earn military merit, he was more ruthless than anyone else. The first battle he fought was a vicious battle of cutting off the rear! Others defended when they cut off the rear, but he led the men to attack fiercely!"

"With more than 3,000 people, we pushed forward for more than ten miles, making the enemy think that our army was coming and did not dare to act rashly!"

"If it were you, hum! You would have run away long ago!"

"That's what the Emperor said!" Li Jinglong's face tightened and he said sarcastically.

"If we like this child, let him be with Liujin from now on!" The old man thought for a while and continued, "Now that the child is young, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear too many rewards. The heroic knight in him will be promoted a few steps, and he will be killed.

General Wude, the deputy commander of the East Palace Guards!"

"Don't thank me yet!" Li Jinglong quickly said to his son Li Qi.

Li Qi kowtowed in confusion, "My lord, thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

"Don't thank me yet, let me ask you, what are your future ambitions?" The old man asked again with a smile.

"My lord, I don't have any ambitions!" Li Qi thought about it and said.

"Don't you want to be a general and serve the country?" the old man asked with a smile.

Li Qi shook his head slightly, "I heard from the veterans at home that too many people died in the war!" Then he added, "One general will make thousands of bones wither. If I were a general, I would have to lead many people to death!"

"Shut up..."

"Shut up!" The old man glanced at Li Jinglong, "We have seen many people who talk about making great achievements all day long and have diarrhea when they get to the battlefield. Such kind-hearted people don't know how to pity the soldiers until they get to the battlefield."

As he said that, he looked at Li Qi and said, "You are not married yet, but we even asked about this during the Chinese New Year!"

Then, the old man paused, thought for a moment, and said to Zhu Yunxi, "The second daughter of your third uncle's family is at this age, so just marry this boy!"

"It's all up to Grandpa Huang to make the decision!" Zhu Yunxi said to Li Qi, "You silly boy, you want to be Grandpa Huang's grandson-in-law, and you still don't kowtow!"

After saying that, Zhu Yunxi suddenly felt that something was wrong. Li Jinglong and Zhu Yunxi were cousins. Logically speaking, he should also call Jin Wang Zhu Fan his cousin. The Jin Wang's daughter and Li Jinglong were actually the same generation, but now the old man recruited Li Jinglong's son.

As a county horse, isn’t there some confusion regarding seniority?

If he becomes the old man's grandson-in-law, wouldn't he be of the same generation as Li Jinglong?

Let there be chaos! There were many people in the Ming Dynasty who only considered age and not seniority when marrying nobles.

(Historically, Li Jinglong’s daughter married the son of King Jin. That means he married his daughter to his cousin’s son.)

"My lord, thank you Lord for your kindness!"

Li Jinglong pulled Li Qi and kowtowed. The weight of this marriage proposal was extraordinary.

Prince Jin is the head of the vassal kings and the current uncle of the emperor. Not to mention anything else, this father-in-law alone can give Li Qi an extra layer of talisman in the future. Not only that, Li Qi and Prince Jin’s daughter also have

The child was born into the direct bloodline of the upright Lord Hongwu, and he was truly of noble status and wealthy.

At the annual meeting, I will post a big chapter today, so I don’t have time to update it.

Not water, this Li Qi will play a very important role in the future.
Chapter completed!
