Chapter 2145 Writing Poems

The team began to rest and cook. Li Shen also retreated to a nearby hillside, set up a stove and started barbecuing.

Since he was going back to deliver the letter, Li Shen would probably have to stay here for two days.

Just as Li Shen was eating barbecue and drinking wine, Xue Rengui came back and brought a woman with him.

"This is our Prince Ji." Xue Rengui introduced the woman as he approached.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Ji." The woman bowed slowly.

Li Shen looked at her carefully. The woman was disheveled, but one could still see her fallen beauty with an exotic air.

She is tall and well-proportioned, she must be a beauty.

"Well, no need to be so polite." Li Shen nodded, then looked at Xue Rengui and asked.

"Your Highness, this is Aya, the daughter of Chief Qu Baochang. I just found her among the people who were rescued."

Xue Rengui hurried to explain.

"Are you Aya?" Li Shen was a little surprised after hearing this. He thought Aya was kidnapped by other small groups of rebels.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, my father is Qu Baochang." The woman bowed and replied.

"Well, come here, take her to wash up." Li Shen gave an order. Only Shi Tou could do this job.

"Rengui, please have your meal with me here. After the meal, let the guard camp set up camp here.

We should stay here for two days, waiting for Qu Zhiping and his team to arrive."

Li Shen didn't want to live in the rebel camp. He was not as ruthless as his father. So many people died in the camp.

Li Shen couldn't sleep in there at night.

Xue Rengui agreed and sat down to barbecue with Li Shen.

After a while, Aya simply washed up and was brought back by Shitou.

Only now did Li Shen see her face clearly. She was quite pretty and her temperament was that of a woman from the Western Regions, unlike the weak and frail women from the Central Plains.

"Thank you very much, Your Highness Prince Ji, for rescuing me." Aya saluted Li Shen again.

"No need to be so polite. I was entrusted by your father. Come, have dinner with me."

Li Shen nodded slightly. He just thought that this woman from the Western Regions was pleasing to the eyes, but he didn't have any thoughts at all.

He is not the male protagonist in those skits, who can fall in love with you when you are robbed and raped.

Having fallen into a den of thieves, Li Shen didn't believe that she could still remain a virgin.

Li Shen was not discriminating against them, he just had no idea.

"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Ji." Aya did not hesitate to sit down and began to take charge of the barbecue.

Xue Rengui accompanied Prince Ji as they grilled meat, drank wine, and chatted about trivial topics.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, the Jingguan has been built." An hour later, a guard came to report.

Li Shen was a little dizzy from drinking. When he heard that the Jingguan was completed, he immediately instructed Shitou:

"Go, bring me some paper and pen."

Li Shen suddenly became interested, and the servants immediately began to clear the table to make room for him.

Shi Tou took the paper and pen and started grinding.

"Shi Tou, record this for me."

Although he was drunk, Li Shen knew that his calligraphy should not be shown to others easily.

Upon hearing this, Shitou immediately sat down, picked up his pen and waited.

Li Shen held a pen in one hand and a wine pot in the other, looking at the Jingguan in the distance, feeling full of heroic spirit.

He took a sip from the wine flask and said loudly:

"The thunderous sound shakes the sky, the spear reflects the moon and the blood is flying, all who dare to attack will become ghosts, and the mountains of bones will suppress the barbarians."

After Li Shen finished speaking, he raised his head and took another big sip of wine, feeling refreshed all over.

But his steps were a little frivolous and shaky.

"Your Highness is drunk. I will help you to rest."

Seeing this, Shitou immediately stood up and supported Li Shen.

"I am not... drunk. I can still float several more times."

A breeze blew, and Li Shen suddenly felt dizzy and light-headed.

Shitou waved to Tieniu, and Tieniu came over immediately, picked up Li Shen like a chicken, and threw him into the carriage.

Shitou took off Li Shen's boots and changed his clothes, allowing Li Shen to fall asleep comfortably.

"Butler Li, is the prince alright?"

When Shitou came back, Xue Rengui asked hurriedly.

"Sir Xue, don't worry. The prince is fine. He is just a little drunk. He will be fine after some rest."

Shitou shook his head slightly.

After saying that, he picked up the poem that Li Shen had just written and handed it to Xue Rengui.

"Alas, the prince is truly a man of great talent. Although I, Xue, do not understand poetry, I can sense the murderous spirit in this poem."

Xue Rengui was filled with emotion when he read the poem.

Isn’t the sound of thunder in the poem the scene when they used grenades just now?

Looking at the thousands of corpses piled up behind him, it won’t be long before the officials in the capital turn into a mountain of bones.

This poem describes the scene today, with blood everywhere in the camp and the ground stained with blood.

"Sir Xue, carve this poem on a wooden board and place it in front of the palace to deter the scoundrels."

Shitou had followed Li Shen since he was a child, so he naturally knew that his master's talents were far more than that.

"Oh? Is this what the prince meant?" Xue Rengui was stunned.

"No, this is what I meant, but I believe this is also what the prince meant."

Although he called himself a servant, there was no humility in Shitou's tone and expression, and he even had a hint of dominance.

Xue Rengui glanced at the stone, then bowed and said:

"Yes, I obey your order."

Xue Rengui did not dare to underestimate the young eunuch in front of him. In many situations, this person could represent Prince Ji.

In Prince Ji’s mansion, Shitou is second only to the king and is the person Prince Ji trusts the most.

The several bigwigs each had their own duties in Prince Ji's mansion, and they didn't know many secrets, and Prince Ji would not tell them.

And this steward Li knows all the secrets of Prince Ji's mansion.

Many times he could make decisions on his own for Prince Ji, and even Princess Ji would adopt the advice of Chief Eunuch Li.

Because Shitou had followed King Ji for so long, he knew King Ji's personality very well. He knew what King Ji liked and what he didn't like.

So when Shitou said that King Ji meant this, then this must be what he meant.

"Sir Xue, I don't know how the guards set up camp. Please arrange it as soon as possible, but don't make too much noise, so as not to disturb the prince's rest.

And arrange a tent for this woman to protect her well. She is more important than anyone else."

Stone spoke again.

"Don't worry, Manager Li. I will make proper arrangements." Xue Rengui nodded.

"That's great. I'll go back and serve you, Your Majesty. You can't be alone."

As he said this, Shitou bowed to Xue Rengui.

"Have a safe journey, Manager Li." Gui Rengui nodded.

No one in Prince Ji's mansion dared to be rude to Shi Tou. Only Prince Ji could beat or scold Shi Tou, no one else could.

Being disrespectful to the stone is being disrespectful to King Ji, and is a slap in the face of King Ji.

Just like Wang De who is beside Your Majesty, even the Crown Prince has to be polite when he sees Wang De.
