Hearing this name, Xu Chen was obviously stunned.
Xue Rengui? Xue Rengui, the famous general of the Tang Empire?
This was a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty. There were countless legends about him. Things like " Three Arrows Stabilizing Tianshan Mountain "," Bravely Capturing Liaodong ", and " Taking Off Your Hat and Retreating Ten Thousand Enemies " had always been sung among the people. Even in the 21st century, he was very famous!
According to historical records, he was indeed a fierce general of the current era. He could eat an entire sheep in one meal. His appetite was terrifying, and he was also terrifying when he fought!
During the conquest of Goguryeo, as an ordinary soldier, he had killed over 20,000 people with the vanguard. He had personally received an audience with Li Shimin and was promoted to a guerrilla general!
It could be said that he was the fiercest general of the Tang Dynasty in the post-Zhenguan era!
"System, take a look at his combat strength.”
Xu Chen looked at the person in front of him. He was a little uncertain and ordered.
There were many people with the same name in the world. Only by checking their combat strength could he be sure if this was the real Xue Rengui.
"Beep, scanning, please wait…"
"Scanning complete! This person's individual combat value was as high as 800, and his development potential was 800. According to his predictions, if he was fully equipped and trained, his combat strength could exceed 2000!”
The system's announcement allowed Xu Chen to confirm the identity of the honest young man in front of him!
He was not equipped with any weapons, but his individual combat power was already 800. How heaven-defying was this? If his potential was maxed out, he would be 100 points stronger than Yuchi Gong?
If he personally taught him, wouldn't he become the second strongest individual in the Great Tang and the entire world?!
At this moment, his heart had already begun to stir, and he had the intention to nurture Xue Rengui.
"Your name is Xue Rengui? Where? Why did you come to Chang 'an to do hard labor?"
Xu Chen calmed himself down and asked.
According to the records, Xue Rengui should be from Hedong Road (Shanxi). Why would he come to Chang 'an?
"This year's harvest is not good, and I have a big appetite. Mother told me not to farm and let me come to Chang 'an to live for two years.”
Xue Rengui was obviously a little timid in front of Xu Chen, so he answered truthfully.
Hearing this, Xu Chen finally understood. Xue Rengui's huge appetite was recorded in the history books. Ordinary families really couldn't afford such a big family.
Although Xue Rengui's ancestors were also nobles, they had declined in his generation. The few plots of land were not enough for him to eat. It was normal for a 15-year-old to come to Chang 'an to make a living.
After a few more words, Xu Chen had a preliminary understanding of Xue Rengui. He knew that Xue Rengui had no place to stay at the moment. He was only temporarily living in the peddler boss's house. His reward was to work hard for free once a day. His life was tight and he basically could not eat his fill every day.
"Alright, it's him!"
After greeting the peddler, Xu Chen gave him a fat sheep and immediately instructed Xue Rengui to move the wool. This pile was a whole cart!
This weight was definitely not light, but Xue Rengui pulled the handcart. With just a slight bulge of his temples and the muscles of his entire body, the handcart moved. From the looks of it, he had not used all his strength!
"This kid is really born with divine strength. It's a pity to work hard.”
"Who says so? If he were to join the army, he would definitely be a good soldier!”
"Soldiers? Now that there was no war to fight, being a soldier was just farming. What future did he have?”
The crowd watched Xu Chen and Xue Rengui pull the wool away and discussed.
Now that the people had settled down and the country had yet to develop, Li Shiming was considerate of the people and naturally would not initiate a war. In other words, Xue Rengui's era was far from coming.
Of course, Li Shiming, who had been focused on developing his economy, had never imagined that someone would come looking for trouble even though he didn't want to fight. In the distant Turkic tent, a pair of eyes had already set their sights on him…
It was already late. Xu Chen and Xue Rengui chatted for a while and finally pulled the cart back to Green Dragon Village before dark.
The infrastructure of the Tang Dynasty was very poor. Even the official roads were full of potholes. Even Xue Rengui, who was as angry as an ox, was already flushed and out of breath when he arrived at Green Dragon Village.
He helped Xu Chen put the wool in a cool and dry place. After asking for a bowl of water to drink, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Hey, Rengui, where are you going now?”
After chatting with Xue Rengui for a long time, Xu Chen also had a good impression of this simple and honest young man.
He did not look at others, but only at character. During the conversation, he felt that Xue Rengui's character was very good, and the good character of the Tang people was reflected in him.
Therefore, Xu Chen decided to give him a chance.
"Mr. Xu, I…haven't eaten yet.”
Xue Rengui turned around and said somewhat bashfully,
"I have to run back to the boss as soon as possible. The dishes must have been gone. If I were any later, I'm afraid there wouldn't be any food left for me…"
After delivering the goods to Xu Chen, it was already past mealtime. In the past, they could at least eat half their fill. If they went back late today, they would probably starve!
That feeling was not good.
"Haha, look at how anxious you are.”
Hearing this, Xu Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud. He threw the two fat sheep in his hands to Xue Rengui and ordered,
"I like you, kid. Go, kill these two sheep. One is roasted and the other is boiled. Brother Xu will let you eat your fill today!”
Although Xu Chen seemed to be two years younger than Xue Rengui, Xu Chen treated him as a younger brother and naturally would not treat him badly.
He still wanted to train Xue Rengui out of the mountain as soon as possible and experience the joy of being a fierce general!
"Ah, really?"
Xue Rengui was slightly stunned. In the next second, his eyes revealed a look of ecstasy.
Ever since his father passed away, he had never had a full meal. A full meal had always been his wish since he was young.
Although this wish was small, this was Xue Rengui, a guy who could eat a fat sheep in one meal! Who could afford such expensive food if they were not nobles?
"Why would I lie to you? Hurry up and go!"
Xu Chen scolded him with a smile and turned to deal with the pile of wool.
When Xue Rengui heard this, a bright smile appeared on his face. He hurriedly shaved the two sheep and bled them. Then, he set up a simple barbecue grill and took a big pot to boil water.
Xu Chen also took out some spices that he had cultivated when he was bored and sprinkled them on the sheep. Immediately, the fragrance spread.
A roasted whole lamb and a mutton hotpot. Even modern people would not have such a luxurious way of eating!
He had to get the 1000 rating on the review ticket. If he couldn't get on, the author was prepared to shut himself up on the rooftop…
