Liu An looked at the young man again and felt that he was similar to Yang Jian.
Yang Jian had a huge appetite since he was young. He had to eat two buckets of rice for every meal. If he were to go to an ordinary family that had just been fed and clothed, his parents would probably starve to death. Therefore, Yang Jian came out early to live in the world.
Most people were recruited to build Lutai, and Yang Jian probably came to work as a cement worker himself, because other than the government, who could afford to raise such a big eater?
The only difference was that Yang Jian had a third eye after he attained the Dao. He was known as the Three-Eyed General and was highly skilled in martial arts. He carried a three-pointed double-edged saber and had the divine beast Xiao Tianquan. He was one of the most powerful generals in Xiqi.
Before this child became famous, he was poor and destitute. Later on, he was able to enter Chan School and was reborn to become an immortal.
Although taking in Yang Jian might mean that Chan School would lose one disciple, and without the help of the Three-pointed Double-edged Saber and the Celestial Roar Dog, Yang Jian's strength would not be as strong as before, this did not affect Liu An's appreciation of Yang Jian. This child had a great source of fortune. If he took him in, it would be beneficial to Great Shang!
"You said your name is Yang Jian?" Liu An asked.
When everyone saw Liu An speak, their laughter stopped abruptly. They were all speechless.
Liu An was the ruler of a country, and no one in the court dared to interrupt him.
"I am Yang Jian." The young man gave a silly laugh and looked at Liu An with some desire.
He hoped that Liu An would accept him.
Just like how a hungry girl would look forward to a strong man, he hoped that Liu An could give him enough food and warm clothes so that he could say goodbye to these hard jobs.
Liu An was the one who decided his fate.
"Seeing that you are in such a miserable state, I will take you in and make you a guard. Are you willing?”Liu An said indifferently.
"As long as I can eat my fill, I'm willing to do anything the king wants!”Yang Jian said happily.
"Why aren't you kowtowing to thank me?" The official glared at Yang Jian.
"Thank you for your gift, Your Majesty." Yang Jian hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.
"There's no need to be so polite." Liu An waved his hand.
Accepting Yang Jian was a small matter. Appointing him as an army guard only meant that he wanted him to grow up under his own eyes.
If he was given some time, he would definitely be as powerful as a tiger, and his status would be extraordinary.
He looked at the arrogant appearance of the small official and was also unhappy. Why did this kind of person who bullied the weak and feared the strong come? However, there was no need for him to do anything. If Yang Jian wanted to take revenge, he could just let him deal with him when he grew up in the future.
"Great King's kindness is vast and boundless, having such a virtuous ruler is truly a blessing for Great Shang.”Shen Gongbao did not forget to flatter him.
"It is my duty to care for the people.”Liu An said indifferently.
Huang Feihu did not say anything, but he was very happy to see the change in Liu An.
"Your Majesty, please accept us as well.”
The people kneeling on the ground saw that Yang Jian had suddenly been reborn and became a guard with the army. Although he was not a high official, he was still a person with a reputation. They were very unwilling. Everyone gathered their courage and asked Liu An for an official position.
Liu An was a good person, but he was not a fool. If he accepted so many people at once, wouldn't the world be in chaos? Therefore, he ignored it.
Seeing that Liu An did not speak, the official reacted quickly and immediately put on a stern face.
"Silence! If they disturb the king, they will all be beheaded.”
The official's reprimand was indeed effective. The commoners immediately fell silent.
"Looks like there are a lot of troubles in building Deer Terrace Pavilion.”Liu An sighed.
"Your Majesty is wise. These small matters naturally won't trouble you. I believe that in a few more days, these matters will be resolved.”Huang Feihu said with a smile.
"Let's hope so. The army can continue to advance.”Liu An said.
Along the way, they were still kneeling together. This was the first time Liu An had enjoyed the emperor's tour. This feeling was indescribable.
One could imagine that as soon as one walked out of the door, there would be eight large palanquins and countless guards. As soon as one walked into the street, they would all kneel down and address him as their king. How satisfying would that be?
Compared to this pleasure, Liu An did not care about the matter at Deer Terrace Pavilion. As the king, if he was worried about such a small matter, why would he need so many officials? Ask them all to go back and plant vegetables?
The army advanced!
Yang Jian mustered up his courage. He was like a child who had never seen the world. He hooked up with soldiers everywhere, making everyone hate him.
For example, Yang Jian looked at the armor on a general's body for a long time and suddenly turned pale with fright.
"General." Yang Jian said in surprise.
"What's wrong? Is there something strange about me?" The young general said with some worry.
"Aren't you tired from wearing such a heavy armor? Yang Jian replied.
The corner of the young general's mouth twitched. Damn it, you scared me so much. You actually asked this question? He wished he could give Yang Jian a few slaps.
This time, Yang Jian went to tease a soldier.
Yang Jian was a guard with the army. Even though he was just a guard, he had a bright future ahead of him. According to his rank, he was on par with the sergeant in the ordinary military camp. Therefore, these soldiers did not dare to offend him.
"The hat you're wearing is so strange. Can you show it to me? Yang Jian pointed at that person.
"Why not? I can show you.”The soldier replied readily.
Although Yang Jian was dressed in rags, he had just been appointed as a guard with the army. His status was not high, but his future was limitless. Therefore, the soldier was flattered and was very willing to get to know Yang Jian, who was of similar age.
As soon as Yang Jian put on the helmet, he strutted around a few times and suddenly ran away.
"You can give this helmet to me."
As he spoke, Yang Jian had already disappeared. The poor soldier had a bitter and helpless expression.
Losing his helmet meant that he would be punished. As the army advanced, he did not dare to chase after Yang Jian and ask for it, so he could only be punished helplessly.
These things were told to Liu An one by one, and Liu An laughed out loud when he heard it.
"This Yang Jian is so naughty." Liu An laughed.
"He's just a child who hasn't seen the world. I believe he'll get used to it soon.”Huang Feihu laughed along.
Shen Gongpao pursed his lips and said nothing.
He wasn't even interested in a mere soldier.
" Your Majesty, Deer Terrace Pavilion is just ahead," a soldier jogged over and said.
"Alright, I haven't been here for a long time.”Liu An said.
Shen Gongpao's expression suddenly changed.
Suddenly, a screeching sound came from the sky. The sound was sharp and extremely terrifying. Even Liu An felt a slight aura stirring in the sky, as if even the sun and moon were trembling.
When had the army ever seen such a strange thing? It immediately became restless.
"What happened?" Huang Feihu said solemnly.
Liu An looked up and was surprised.
Shen Gongbao narrowed his eyes and said slowly,""There's a crane from the west. It doesn't come with good intentions.”
Shen Gongpao's words made many people's expressions change.
Could it be that the Western Immortal Crane was related to Xi Qi?
