After Li Shimin sent Tang Hualong away, he inquired from the eldest grandson Wuji and learned that at this time, there were already important ministers in this camp.

All the officials above the third rank in Beijing arrived in front of the imperial court one after another yesterday night. It is more than 100 miles away from the capital, but if it is a fast horse and whip, supplemented by the help of magic, it will only take two hours at most, and you can rush there.

Among them, only the lord of the Guanxi Shiwang occupies most of them, such as the Eight Pillars of the current dynasty, the twelve generals, such as the Dugu family, the Li family, the Yuan family, the Yu Wenshi, the Dou family, the Daxi family, the Helan family, etc., and some later generals, Jing Zhaowei, Hedong Pei, Hongnong Yang, Jing Zhaodu, Pengcheng Liu Zhujia, are also among the summonses.

In addition, his father, Li Yuan, personally came to visit him once yesterday night. After hearing that he was in the process of recuperation, he left again. He was only told to wake up and rush to see him.

Li Shimin also happened to be full of doubts and wanted to find his father to ask for clarification. And just as he walked into the camp of the Chinese army, he found that there were countless lines of sight around him, looking at him.

And Li Shimin's increasingly acute ears seem to be able to hear the voices of these people.

"This is Viruja?"

"Is this guy? was ordered to turn the tide and defeat those rebels with the remnants of less than 2,000 people?"

"You're too young, aren't you? I'm said to be less than fifteen?"

"Unbelievable! Doesn't it mean that this son's martial arts and art of war have been abandoned?"

"It's just a rumor, not to be believed. I heard that soon after this son entered the palace, his soldiers and horses had already won the crown of Xiao Yue, and even defeated Wang Zikai with his own hands, is this a fluke?"

"It's really a general, it's said that he has already made a marriage?

Naturally, in addition to these admiration, there are also some rumors.

"What's so proud of this? It's just that three thousand bandits have been defeated. ”

"It is a well-known fact that the left and right garrisons have been fighting for a long time, and the combat strength is a mess. can be defeated by this rabble, the strength of these bandits can also be imagined. ”

"It just so happens that there are no tigers in the mountains, so the wild monkey is king. But those assassins are really powerful—"

Li Shimin didn't hear it, but he didn't know it. And when he hurriedly walked into Li Yuan's tent, he saw the latter sitting behind a table, looking at a few pieces of ink armor parts on the table with a calm face.

"The boy has seen his father!"

Li Shimin raised his hand to hurt his arms, and after a difficult salute, he couldn't wait to ask: "Dare to ask my father, what happened to the family recently?"

After Li Yuan was awakened, he glanced at his second son with mixed eyes. Seeing that Li Shimin was dressed in armor and looked heroic, there seemed to be a hallucination in front of his eyes.

At this moment, he remembered the scene eight or nine years ago, when he took Pilu to the Duke Mansion of Chu to celebrate Yang Su's birthday. At that time, Yang Su smiled and grabbed his hand, and was full of admiration, saying that 'Ru Zhilin'er, you have the talent of dragon leaping and phoenix singing, and you will achieve success in the future, but I am afraid that you will not be inferior to Lanling'.

Afterwards, he was overjoyed and loved this second son. If it weren't for the accident two years later, this would have been his favorite among all the sons under his knees.

At that time, Virusha was done a disobedient thing, but he never refused to admit his mistake and spoke out against him in public. And he, Li Yuan, was in a bad mood because of the setbacks in his career, so he was furious. only when this son of himself was really pampered and arrogant, he made a move to kill his brother because he was jealous of his brother, so in a fit of anger, he drove Li Shimin back to his hometown for martial arts.

Wait until a year later, the third son Li Xuanba was rescued by the great master Li Yuanlang, and all the truth was revealed.

When he learned that Li Shimin was not only innocent, but had gone down to the river with his life to save his third brother from death, and that day's "defense" and "confrontation" were just based on reason, it was too late.

Virusha has already transferred to the 'Five Wheels of Divine Qi Technique', which will be paralyzed in bed after the three grades, and is no longer interested in the art of war and martial arts, and even after returning to his hometown, he has never stepped into the study of the clan again.

And because of this, he felt ashamed of his second son, and subconsciously alienated Virusha, and let the latter continue to be wasted.

Originally, he thought that his second son would be like this in this life. If you get a job as a general in the army, you will sink into a middle-level general for the rest of your life, and in your later years, you can be a third-grade official, even if you are worthy of your predecessors.

As for the exploits that are not inferior to Lanling, it is impossible for him to see it.

So when he hurried to the front of the palace yesterday and learned that at the moment of danger, it was his son Li Shimin who turned the tide and defeated the strong enemy with weak soldiers, Li Yuan only felt that his scalp seemed to be about to explode.

It was an indescribably complex state of mind, in addition to disbelief, excitement, pleasure, regret, apology, strangeness, and apprehension, all kinds of emotions mixed together and could not be distinguished.

At this time, Li Yuan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he let out a long breath of turbidity, suppressed all these emotions, and pointed to the front of him instead: "Do you recognize these remnants?"

Li Shimin didn't notice Li Yuan's strange appearance, and turned his eyes to look carefully: "This is the armor used by the rebels yesterday?

Li Yuan's expression was surprised, he noticed for the first time that Li Shimin's mind was so keen, and it seemed that he was still above his eldest son Li Jiancheng.

But thinking of Li Shimin's record yesterday, he didn't care. If he didn't have such reflexes and dexterity, how could he defeat nearly twice as many enemies with a defeated army of less than 2,000 men this time?

After the audience, he personally looked at the battlefield, and he would not have thought that the opponent on the left and right of the garrison at that time was a chaotic and weak army, but on the contrary, it was a strong soldier whose combat strength was far above that of the border army.

Among them, the mounted iron rider is especially terrifying. It is hard to imagine that Li Shimin was able to anticipate the enemy's opportunity several times, and finally caused this strong army to sink into the sand.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan extinguished his heart for the school examination and said bluntly: "These ink armors, which originated from an arsenal in Daxing City, disappeared at the beginning of my tenure as the Guard Captain Shaoqing. A total of 2,200 armors, their whereabouts are unknown, and they are nowhere to be found. And some of them appeared in Zaozhuang, Qishan County, two months ago. At that time, Si Litai received news that someone in Zaozhuang had a private ink armor, so he searched it with great fanfare, and finally found 70 pieces of ink armor in the village, and it was the same batch as the ink armor that disappeared in Daxing City. ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he already realized in his heart: "Is this someone secretly preparing to blame my family?"

Combined with many clues, the other party's purpose is self-evident, no wonder Tang Hualong was like that just now.

Their Tang Guofu was deeply implicated in this matter, and it would not be possible if they were not suspected.

Li Yuan was noncommittal, and continued: "In addition, in Luoyang City today, there are also proverbs circulating, saying that 'the Li family will be Xing, the Liu family will be the king', 'the eighteen sons, the main artifact' and so on. These days, you are focusing on the affairs of Mojia and the palace, these things, you must not know?"

Li Shimin suddenly gasped, only to feel a chill down his spine. Does this mastermind want to put their martial arts Li clan in a state of no return?

"So my father went out of the city to Luoyang City yesterday and hurried back, did he know that the queen had been assassinated?"

"Where is this for my father to know, it's just that I discussed with Mao Yue (Tang Jian) on the way, and it doesn't feel appropriate. The fire in Luokoucang is really burning strangely. So after I returned to the city, I also asked people to remind Si Li to drive Liu Can, and asked him to pay attention to the inside and outside of Beijing. ”

When Li Yuan said this, he smiled with relief: "But if it weren't for Pilu covering you, this time you would be in danger and protect Her Royal Highness Empress Xiao safe and sound." Our martial arts Li clan still can't get rid of suspicion. ”

It is rumored that the leader of those rebels is a top king-level powerhouse. And in the martial arts Li clan, it is not only him Li Yuan who has cultivated to the realm of the king level.

Although they are only in the realm of a first-class product, they are the lower positions of the royal rank, but it is difficult to say that they have no hidden cultivation.

Li Shimin heard the appreciation and gratitude in Li Yuan's words, but he didn't care much, "Then father, have you ever guessed who is behind this scene?"

"My father originally suspected that it was Chu Guofu, but today's investigation revealed clues, which are plausible. Yesterday, this one and I also rushed to the front of the palace one after another, and there was only half a quarter of time between us,"

Li Yuan was reluctant to talk to Li Shimin about these confidential things in the past, but at this time, he felt that he was qualified to take on the big responsibility this time, so he said everything.

Then he shook his head and said, "This matter is for my father to investigate, you don't need to worry." It is said that His Royal Highness Empress Xiao heard that you had a record of defeating bandits in Linfen County, so he gave you an order to be in danger. ”

Speaking of this, a trace of shame appeared in Li Yuan's eyes.

What happened to Pilu in Linfen County was well known to Empress Xiao, but his father, turned a deaf ear because of his past prejudices.

When Li Shimin came out of Li Yuan's tent, there was another middle-aged attendant about forty years old by his side.

This person's name is Li Xin, the third grade of martial arts, and he is one of the generals carefully cultivated by the martial arts Li clan at a great cost, and he is also a close acolyte and attendant by Li Yuan's side. Not only does he have a handsome armor of excellent standards, but he also cultivates the White Tiger Hegemony Technique and Qianyang Divine Solution inherited by the Li family to an extremely high level.

The former refines the Qi of the White Tiger Jin Yuan, and the True Yuan is extremely sharp, while the latter is a martial art compiled by several martial artists of the Li family in the past, including marksmanship, swordsmanship, and palm skills, each of which is a first-class martial art in the world.

His father, apparently, was also aware of his safety problems, so he specially arranged for this Li Xin to be guarded by his side. In addition, this Tang Guogong also intended to let him select fifty to sixty personal soldiers from the martial arts Li family's generals, or directly from the army.
