Chapter 0004: The Fierce General Xue Rengui

Few people may know who Xue Li is

So soon, it has been settled in just a few days

Your Highness, the coal mine you requested has been successfully negotiated and can be delivered tomorrow

Wang Fugui has already invested all his wealth in the acquisition of the assets of the Chu Wangfu, and naturally, he is very diligent in carrying out the tasks assigned by Li Kuan

Although the Chu King's residence is vast in scale, with guards, maids, and servants totaling over a thousand, in Li Kuan's view, there are indeed very few truly capable individuals among them

With the blessings of the Prince, the Changsun family happens to want to transfer their mine. Thus, with one party sincerely willing to sell and the other sincerely willing to buy, the process naturally proceeds swiftly

I am going!

There is no way around it; in my past life, I was merely a commoner, and I have not yet fully accepted the change in my identity.

Although I am a buyer, if Li Kuan wants to make things difficult for me at this moment, he can easily drive me into bankruptcy in no time

It was merely that there were many people just now, and in addition, Li Kuan had never appeared in the West Market before, so the Jinwu Guard's team did not notice him

Otherwise, with too many incompetent teammates, one can never tell when they might be held back

However, Li Kuan has finally gained a further understanding of his current identity

This seems to lack a sense of achievement

This prince is still in need of a chief of the guard, do you have any interest in following this prince

As soon as he returned to the Wang residence, Wang Fugui arrived

Can the aura of dominance surpass my own identity as a prince?

After capturing Xue Li, Li Kuan no longer had much interest in visiting the Western Market. After a brief and cursory tour, he returned to the King of Chu's residence with the person.

This is akin to how traffic police in later generations are well aware of certain special license plate numbers

Li Kuan, as the foremost of the four pests in Chang'an City, may not be recognized by the common people, but the Jinwu Guard patrol officers who interact with the streets daily certainly know him

Thinking that he had so easily gained another impressive subordinate, Li Kuan couldn't help but burst into laughter

However, when it comes to who Xue Rengui is, there should be very few people who do not know.

The prince saved me from the hands of the Imperial Guards the first time we met, and then provided me with such a great opportunity. I must repay the prince's kindness well in the future

Li Kuan stood in a daze, ignoring Xue Li, as he contemplated how to win over this future formidable general

However, upon quickly seeing Xue Li standing there in a daze, he immediately realized that this was the Tang Dynasty

There is no need to wait until tomorrow; I will go for the delivery this afternoon. I can no longer contain my eagerness to become a person with a mine!

It seems that from now on, I can lead a very comfortable life as this young scion.

Li Kuan naturally would not bother to argue too much with a mere team leader; Xue Li is his true target

I am deeply grateful for the esteemed favor of the prince, and I, Rengui, will certainly be diligent and conscientious, living up to the heavy trust placed in me

Thank you, Your Highness! I am Xue Li, newly arrived in Chang'an. I am deeply grateful for Your Highness's assistance. Although Xue Li could not understand why this noble young man before him would help him, he did not neglect the proper etiquette in the slightest

If Li Kuan knew that his hearty laughter could provoke such an effect, he would probably laugh heartily again at the sky

As for other individuals, Li Kuan does not leave a particularly strong impression, so during this period, it is necessary to carefully reassess the people around oneself

In later generations, when it comes to purchasing mines, it is not just a matter of whether you have the money; even if you do have the funds, it is not that easy to accomplish.

Do not be so verbose; you know best what is going on. Do not let me see these fellows on the ground in the Western Market again, or do not blame this king for being impolite.

Indeed, after these words were spoken, something incredible happened to Li Kuan; after a moment of surprise, Xue Li unexpectedly agreed directly

If gratitude were useful, then what would be the purpose of the Imperial Guards?

Considering that this is the great Tang Dynasty, and I am a dignified prince, while Xue Li, despite his impressive reputation in the past, is now in a state of decline, it seems that recruiting him may not be such a difficult task after all

Although Laifu is very loyal, he is merely an ordinary steward

How is it that your Jinwu Guard operates in this manner? Should I have my General Weichi speak to you about this matter?

Li Kuan became accustomed to bantering with others in later generations. Upon hearing Xue Li's words, he unconsciously...

"Your Highness, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding indeed." The officer smiled obsequiously and bowed, "This person caused a disturbance in the street; it is merely a routine procedure to take him back for investigation."

Haha, good, very good

Qing'er is indeed very virtuous, but she is ultimately just my personal maid

As a time traveler, there is no need to speak of any kingly aura; the insights gained from traversing eras are always present

Xue Li, standing by, saw Li Kuan laughing heartily because he had agreed to join him, and his heart was filled with even greater emotion

Now that Li Kuan has stepped forward and even referred to himself as "This King", those astute individuals immediately reacted.
