Chapter 370.2: The He Family’s He Shi Hai
Speaking of which, what He Zhen Wei worried about the most was none other than this youngest son, fearing that he will stir up some trouble again. The capital city was unlike the border town. Causing trouble in the border town, seeing on behalf the He family, for the most part, no one will bicker too much, but in the capital, if one were to accidentally offend powerful nobles, the He family may not necessarily be able to settle. The He family, because of guarding the borders, can be said to have done great meritorious service. His Majesty very much gave preferential treatment, and also had a bit of high regard. But, as long as one was smart, one should know, in this kind of situation, one further needed to be careful and cautious. With the slightest mishap, one will just get heartlessly attacked.
Yet, unexpectedly, mishap still occurred, and moreover, even running into a large iron plate.
The He family learned that, that bastard was spurring the horse in the streets, and even ran into Jin Qinwang’s carriage. Never mind not making amends and apologizing, he even dared to act arrogant, getting arrested by the people of Jin Qinwang Manor. They were both angry and worried, causing the whole family to fall into a complete mess. Prior to returning to the capital, they’d even specially warned him before, especially regarding Jin Qinwang, absolutely must not offend, even having Jin Qinwang Manor’s emblem enlarged by a lot, hating that they can’t directly shove it into his brain. In these last two days after entering the capital, they’d also restrained him, but who knew that because of having just entered the capital, there were many matters to attend to, thus exceptionally busy, and in a moment of carelessness, just let him slip out again. And as soon as he escaped, just caused big trouble……………
Although they very quickly learned that Jin Qinwang wasn’t in the carriage, but Jin Wangfei was. The more noble of a status a woman has, in their eyes, the more delicate and fragile. If by chance something unfortunate were to happen, practically just asking for their life.
However, there was still one thing that was relatively good. Thankfully, that bastard didn’t act on impulse and let his emotions affect him. Perhaps realizing that he was in the wrong, or managed to get stopped, else based on that brute force of his, to go all out fighting, like on the battlefield, it would be strange if no one died.
Li Hong Yuan looked to He Shi Hai. In the past life, when he’d met him, it was already after he’d ascended the throne. At the time, of all the fully grown men in the He family, only he alone remained, including He Zhen Wei, all died two months from now. And the day they died, just happened to be on new year’s eve. The He Shi Hai at that time, no longer had this arrogant and rash personality, his entire person all very dark and gloomy, just a walking lethal weapon. When going out into battle with him, he witnessed He Shi Hai viciousness and out of ordinary skills in killing the enemy. In the many years after the war, He Shi Hai can all be considered Qi Yuan’s pillar. Just hearing his name alone was more than enough to make the enemies change color.
Li Hong Yuan’s martial art skills right now, to a certain extent, all came from He Shi Hai.
However, He Shi Hai wasn’t suited to be a commander in commanding the entire army, just suited to be a general that charged through the enemy lines, and moreover, even the kind that needed someone to assist, deploying the troops for him, while he was just in charge of killing. It’s not that he was just a brute, not understanding the art of war and strategies. On the contrary, He Shi Hai’s mind was actually quite impressive. Although not that conventional, liking to take unexpected risks, but he was very skilled in deploying troops. Using few to defeat many was practically just his strong point. Just, after losing his entire family, and he himself also because of a serious injury lost the ability to have children, the only thing he had left was just revenge. In the battles after taking his revenge, he was just like a sharp weapon that didn’t have any will, just obeying Li Hong Yuan’s orders and command. Being that vigorous, that violent, it was nothing more than because he no longer cared about life and death. And once the war ended, although unable to tell from his exterior, but on the inside, he was genuinely already crippled.
At the time, Li Hong Yuan all took to heart. That’s why, when he had the opportunity to start over again, out of his love for talented people, he wanted to preserve He Shi Hai, letting him become a true commander, letting the enemies not only change color when hearing his name, but also let the enemy country’s entire army tremble in fear upon hearing. As such, he absolutely must save the He family. This is also the reason why this time, the entire He family returned to the capital.
Of course, Li Hong Yuan having them brought back didn’t mean that he will just disregard the northeast borders. Without the He family defending, then the battle two months from now will only be even worse. He Zhen Wei must go back, but Li Hong Yuan will give him a warning to reinforce the defense and secretly prepare some supplies for him. If mishap still were to occur, at least he can preserve the He family’s flame.
What He Shi Hai was like right now, Li Hong Yuan also had somewhat of an understanding, but seeing him in person, it was still a bit beyond his expectations. And he further didn’t expect that as soon as this brat returned to the capital, he just ran into his wife, letting her get injured. As such, no matter how much potential and talent he had, he still needed to be ruthlessly sorted out, and afterwards, properly educated. If he can’t reach his anticipated potential, Li Hong Yuan definitely will personally cripple him.
“Wangye, you’re very strong, please fight with this commoner.”
Before Li Hong Yuan could speak, He Shi Hai just enthusiastically and eagerly said. ———–That’s why, this braindead fanboy of his might be a bit weird.
He Shi Hai’s military achievements were actually quite numerous. However, his father never asked for a title for him, and these achievements all fell onto other people’s heads. He Shi Hai didn’t really care all that much, and it’s also because of this that in the capital, for the most part, no one knew that the He family even had such a terrifying member.
Once these words of his came out, those soldiers all couldn’t help but stare. However, this was actually also completely within expectation. This little young master’s personality, they were truly too familiar with.
“If this prince wants to kill you now, how much effort can that take?”
“Wangye won’t kill this commoner.”
“What, because this prince has no power and influence, so just scared of your He family?” Li Hong Yuan rather didn’t get angry.
“No, nothing to do with the He family. Just, my intuition tells me that wangye won’t do that.”
He Shi Hai’s intuition, Li Hong Yuan has also witnessed before. In his past life, he even saved an entire battle thanks to his intuition.
“Do you know why you’re here in Jin Qinwang Manor?”
“Yes, this commoner can apologize to her Highness, and even kowtow and acknowledge one’s mistakes. As long as this commoner can fight with wangye, this commoner can do anything.” His enthusiasm still persisted.
Thus, He Shi Hai just this easily had himself sold off. To the extent that, in the many years afterwards, when recalling this day, he all can’t help but want to ram his head into a wall, truly too stupid. This master’s heart, how can it just be this black? It was still better to swiftly run far away, guarding the borders for life, never wanting to face Li Hong Yuan.
Li Hong Yuan got up, “Have the person taken down.”
Since he didn’t know what Li Hong Yuan was preparing to do, he naturally could only obediently get taken away.
“An Yi, let Gong Jiu go have a look. This is a good opportunity for this prince to see whether or not Gong Jiu’s medicine can let a person’s bones turn soft.”
An Yi instantly understood. His own master’s meaning was just, the injures needed to be treated, but as for this treatment process………….He silently observed a moment of silence for little tyrant He.
T/N: First impressions of He Shi Hai are deceiving lol, you would have never expected that he was actually Li Hong Yuan’s martial arts teacher in the past life. Although, now it’s getting beaten up by Li Hong Yuan, and turning into his fanboy. His parts are my second favorite to translate, because they are just so hilarious, but he’s also one of my favorite side characters.
