Li Shimin only stayed in Daxing City for an hour, and after handing over all the prisoners and physical evidence, he hurriedly set off on the road.

He didn't know that at this time, the entire Guanxi, around Bai Yushao's collusion with the Demon Dragon Babu, as well as the case of the Longxi pastoral supervisor shoddy and the delivery of prohibited materials to the Demon Dragon Babu, had already been surging. But I can probably guess the overall trend after that, and I also know that now is the time when every second counts.

A little slower can cause the balance of victory and defeat to slip a point in favor of your opponent.

And Qu Tutong and Mei Huayu are also unequivocal. The former lent him the two closest family masters, and the latter lent him the three Buddhist masters and one Daomen True Monarch who had been invited before.

It's a pity that these people have a limited time to play for him, and they can only use it for another half a month to about twenty days.

After all, these people are all masters of Buddhism and Taoism, and they have a high status in the minds of believers, just like land immortals. Although they accepted the name and support of the imperial court, they were not the same thing as the worship invited by the family.

The main reason is that the titles and titles given by the imperial court to the 'true monarch' and the 'Dharma master' are valuable, which is equivalent to official recognition. And the money provided to them by the imperial court is actually very small.

So correspondingly, according to the agreement reached with the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism in the early years, these 'Dharma masters', 'true monarchs', 'great monks' and 'real people'. Although they are also recruited by the imperial court to serve the imperial court, within a year, the imperial court must not work for more than one month.

After this time limit, they will have to be paid according to the market price, and it depends on the mood of these Dharma Lords and true monarchs, and whether they are willing to accept the employment.

Li Shimin didn't dare to treat this as his own subordinate.

In fact, as far as he intended, if possible, he would never take these four people on the road. No one wants to be by their side, there are four beings who must be careful and serve as ancestral immortals.

But there is no way, the super-grade magician of the Eight Divisions of the Demon Dragon is still like a dragon at this time, and it is difficult to see the trace, Li Shimin must guard against this person.

There is also the next battle with Bai Yushao, a super sorcerer, with enough preparation, can fight against an army of 100,000 on the battlefield!

Li Shimin must have the means of checks and balances, so that he can confront Bai Yusa without scruples on the battlefield.

In addition, Qu Tutong also temporarily transferred 700 mounted iron horsemen from the forbidden army. Coupled with Li Shimin's own personal guards, as well as the people and horses of ** Mountain Villa, it is close to 1,000 elites.

- It's the kind where everyone wears armor, and even those who are responsible for protecting the wings also have a lightweight model of ink armor on their bodies.

But Li Shimin was still not enough, and after leaving Chang'an, he deliberately chose the road of Shiping and Wugong County. And the next day, after Li Shimin rested in the martial arts ancestral house for half the night, there were 500 more elite archers under his command, as well as a full 500 mounted knights.

All the shooters are from the Wugong Li family's own households, and those knights are Li Shimin's clansmen and township party, from the Wuxun family in Shiping, Wugong, Wannian and other counties.

Li Shimin did not hesitate and asked his family for help.

This time he went to Lingwu County to quell the rebellion, and the battle between him and Xue Ju not long ago was a completely different situation.

The latter is for private purposes, and the former is for both public and private purposes, and there is no reason for him not to borrow the power of his family.

This is not a one-sided request, but something that is beneficial to both the family and himself. The family helped him quell the chaos, and some of the disciples in the clan could also take this opportunity to win military exploits and obtain a suitable background.

- Don't look at today's martial arts Li clan, it is still prominent. But in fact, there are hundreds of children in their clan, and not many of them are really mixed. Many of the Shuzhi people have nothing to do when they reach adulthood.

It's not that they can't get out, but they can't be high or low, and they might as well be free and happy in the market and countryside.

Those township parties are also in a similar situation, almost all of them are the sons and daughters of the noble families and side branches, but for various reasons, they did not join the army.

They also all have the same characteristics, they have a good family background, they are arrogant, and they are good at martial arts - the cultivation of these people is basically not below the sixth grade. Among them, there is no shortage of four or five products.

But these idle guys at home are by no means without ambition. According to their own words, it's just 'the gentleman hides his weapon and waits for the time to move'.

Therefore, after Li Shimin's call, these people did not hesitate to prepare armor soldiers and gathered under Li Shimin's command.

This is also because of the previous Xiaoguo Army, which withdrew most of the 'good families' in the countryside. Coupled with the urgency of time, Li Shimin himself was worried that he would make the Son of Heaven jealous, so he didn't dare to go too far.

Otherwise, with the authorization document given by Qu Tutong in his hand, it would not be a problem for him to gather one or two thousand horsemen in this hometown. In addition to this, there are thousands of servants to follow.

- After all, he Li Crouching Tiger can barely be regarded as famous all over the world, and his sound is shocking Kansai. Now I believe that the guy who can follow him can soar, but there are many people.

But Li Shimin didn't dare to do this, only gathered the thousand men and horses, and prepared to hurry on the road.

In order to be in a hurry, he planned to leave his pro-army, as well as all the armor soldiers and mounted iron horses, and hand them over to Li Jing to lead and follow up, while he was supported by Shi Benwu, Sikong and others, and dared to go to Pingliang at the same time.

However, before Li Shimin could leave, Zhou Yu and Luo Li had already hurriedly returned with a red-clothed woman with a masked face, and at the same time, Zheng Rentai, another of his subordinates.

The latter seems to have suffered a lot, and his body seems to be intact, but in fact, the internal injuries are not light.

This person was very effective, assassinated at least three predetermined targets for Li Shimin, and severely damaged Xue Ju's business network in the Longxi area. However, because of this, he was chased and killed by Xue Ju's other arm, Shizheng, and fled for more than 2,000 miles.

It wasn't until the two families negotiated peace and Tong Shizheng was ordered to stop that Zheng Rentai could return to his side safely.

For this, Li Shimin is naturally comforted. It just so happened that he had gained a lot in the dark city of Chang'an, and he had a lot of healing pills in his hands.

Directly took out a Daomen's sixth-turn purple gold pill and gave it to Zheng Rentai, which could not only allow the latter to recover from his injuries within a few days, but also increase his True Yuan cultivation.

But then Zheng Rentai surprised Li Shimin a little. This one directly took out a slightly damaged king-level ink armor and placed it in front of Li Shimin.

"What are you?"

When he saw this thing for the first time, Li Shimin was naturally very puzzled, and he looked at Zheng Rentai with some puzzlement.

Thinking about this, could it be that he was planning to ask him to take action and repair this king-level ink armor?

But Zheng Rentai said with a solemn expression: "This is Wei Ji's king-level battle armor 'Shenjing Kun Dragon', which is one of the trophies of this time. ”

"Hand it over to me?"

Li Shimin was a little interested: "Since it's a trophy, why don't you keep it yourself?"

"But it's not my own. ”

Zheng Rentai's expression was calm: "If it weren't for a few magicians hired by the lord with a lot of money, and two archers, how could I be able to take Wei Ji? If I only count it by my strength, I can only account for thirty percent of the merit at most, and most of it is because of this bright divine wing given by the lord, so Rentai doesn't dare to take it all." ”

Li Shimin's body couldn't help but lean back slightly. thought to himself that his father, this time was a rare power.

Force, talent, but rare is loyalty, not greedy for money - such a subordinate, may not be able to find one out of a hundred people, have to carry a lantern to find it.

"Do you really think so? hand over this armor to me, and don't you regret it later?"

He carefully observed Zheng Rentai's expression, and saw that the latter did not hesitate at all, so he laughed: "

Although you intend to offer this armor, I, the master, do not have such a thick skin to accept it. Since you say that you have made a lot of contributions, you should simply divide them according to the size of your efforts at that time. This 'Divine Pure Kun Dragon' can also be regarded as the leader of the king-level battle armor. When intact, the combat power is not inferior to your Light Divine Wing. The price on the black market is between 1.6 million and 1.8 million yuan, and I take the high one. And 30% of 1.8 million guan is 540,000. ”

After he finished saying this, he looked at Zhang Yurou. The latter understood, and immediately took out a stack of gold and silver tickets from his sleeve and placed them in front of Zheng Rentai.

The latter is in the arms of the income with a calm expression, and he doesn't seem to care about this huge amount of money that is enough to make many people look at it.

Li Shimin looked at it in his eyes, and couldn't help but look at it,

knows that this person really doesn't love money much, and what he values most should be his career and family reputation.

He heard that this Zheng Rentai's ancestor was once an important concubine of the Zheng family in Xingyang. After the fall of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the separation of Zhou and Qi, he surrendered to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. But as a result, several generations of officials have not been smooth, not only failed to get ahead, but gradually decayed.

And now the Zheng family house in Xingyang has been removed from the family tree more than ten years ago.

For Zheng Rentai's evil words, this must be an unacceptable shame, and it is a matter of course to have an obsession in this regard.

Before he went to be a bad handsome, ran rampant in the township, and dominated the place, presumably after he couldn't see the future, he gave up on himself.

Although Li Shimin is young, he knows the law of the emperor.

He knew that one person had limited energy, and it was impossible to do everything. Even when commanding a large army, it is done through the closest ten or twenty people around him.

Therefore, the key to a successful general is to grasp the hearts and minds of the people around him.

And Zheng Rentai is undoubtedly qualified to be his right-hand man.

So next, he looked solemn again: "Rentai, you should have known about the situation this time, right?"
