"I'm also checking the fire, and it's the same with the embroidered guard, but I also found nothing. It is said that this is very undeserved, although all the black market merchants in the world are doing business behind the back of the imperial court, but once they encounter this kind of thing, they will never have a hard top with the embroidered clothes. Otherwise, no matter how thick their background is, it will be impossible to escape death. So I suspect that the sulfur is likely to come from Dongying, or a direct supply from somewhere outside the territory. Without the hands of any other person, it can leave no trace. ”

Zhang Yurou also frowned and said: "But the grain transaction you mentioned is a clue." I had overlooked that there was a good chance that they had prepared the water in advance. But why should we focus on rice and wheat meat?"

She thought that ordinary people would not provide such food as rice and meat to slaves like cattle, right?

"Gu Chengyun, who was disguised as the owner of the manor before, provided very good food and environment for those slaves. I guess the reason why they did this was to recuperate their bodies and maintain a better mental state for these young people. ”

Li Shimin explained: "You and I are likely to fall into a blind spot in thinking before, so this aspect cannot be ignored in the future. Anyway, you should check it first-"

When he said this, he glanced thoughtfully at the back of the road.

This winter hunt of the Son of Heaven also has the intention of showing military might to the surrounding neighbors, so the envoys of various countries, including the Turkic Ashina family, have accompanied him. And the high providence of Gao, who was the envoy of Goguryeo, was naturally among them.

At this time, Li Shimin was actually not very worried about the safety of the three emperors and grandsons, just because he knew what kind of plan King Qi was on his side, and he also knew that now, it was not yet the time for King Qi's mansion to make trouble.

He was also not worried about the Eight Demon Dragons, and it was expected that the more than 1,000 young men were still on the periphery of Luoyang, and they had not yet reached their final destination.

And without this batch of 'goods', even if this mysterious force has a shocking plan, it will be difficult to cook without rice, and it should not be enough to worry in a short time.

Only the Goguryeo 'Gu Hina Ga' made Li Shimin a little unpredictable.

He had previously eavesdropped on Gao Tianyi's conversation with someone with the eyes of Zhou Tianshen, and learned that this person seemed to be preparing to launch some conspiracy in the near future. But for the next ten days, I didn't notice any clues, whether I overheard any useful clues.

It was a pity for Li Shimin that since they left Luoyang, he could no longer use Zhou Tianshen's eyes to spy on this person's movements.

Techniques like 'Zhou Tianshen's Eyes', although powerful and incredible, also have their flaws.

For example, in a densely populated place like the army, this technique cannot be used. It's just that because everyone's thoughts are mixed and each other's qi is intertwined, it is difficult for the person who performs the spell to ensure that his mind is clear, and it is naturally impossible to talk about voyeurism.

So for the moment, he can only let Li Xin and Dou Zhongxian keep an eye on this person's movements.

It's a pity that Yuan Tianhao and Luo Li are both inconvenient to put in front of the stage. Otherwise, with these two people monitoring Gao Tianyi on his behalf, he would be much more at ease.

On that day, Tianzi Luan drove and only walked a total of forty-two miles, and settled down at a palace to rest.

- The journey of forty-two miles is undoubtedly pitiful, after all, they have already meandered more than ten miles in the queue of the army.

But after all, it is winter to join the army, and the time that can be used for marching in a day is no more than three hours. After that, they had to set up tents before dark, get water, cut firewood for wages, make fires for food, feed the livestock, and so on.

In order to keep the camp tidy and clean, they also had to dig earth pits to serve as latrines. Otherwise, there will be a breeding for disease.

So for an army of more than 70,000 men, that's actually a pretty good marching speed. What's more, in this army, there are also the cars of the Son of Heaven and dozens of powerful people in the dynasty, which is even more valuable.

Li Shimin also learned a lot during this period, after all, it is one thing to master the knowledge of marching and arranging, and it is another thing to apply what he has learned.

And it was the first time he had commanded an army of more than 3,000 men and marched long distances.

Half a year ago, he had only temporarily commanded a battle of several thousand men. Later, when Dong Chun woke up, he took over the command again, so in this regard, he actually didn't have much experience, at most he just watched pigs walk.

This time, he was in charge of the general manager, responsible for the food, drink and Lazar of thousands of people.

By the time all these things were taken care of and everyone had eaten, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

But Li Shimin's one palace and one capital are still the fastest. Most of the other iron cavalry and the left and right departments of the Reserve Prefecture have not been able to eat enough, and some of them have poor military literacy, and the food they cook is half-cooked.

Only the accompanying Xiao Cavalry Guards and Leopard Cavalry performed quite well.

These two cavalry armies were originally elite, and they did not suffer major damage, whether it was the military quality of the generals or non-commissioned officers, it was not comparable between the Xiaoguo Army and the newly built armies such as the Left and Right Reserve Mansions.

And Li Shimin also made all his subordinates soak their feet. This can not only dispel the cold and relieve fatigue, but also help the soldiers to restore their physical strength and spirit, but also dredge the meridians, regulate qi and activate blood.

After dinner, except for the people in charge of the night watch, most of the soldiers of the Great Cause Hall rested directly.

But there was a faint wail on the side of Xuanjiadu, which was because most of their crotches were worn off.

After all, although Xuanjiadu's riding training was also hard before, every time they trained for about half an hour, the eldest grandson Wuji would always let them rest for a while.

But today's more than 1,000 recruits have been on horseback since the early hours of the morning, and they have been marching for more than three hours, during which the crotch friction is constant, and it is strange that they do not shed their skin.

Li Shimin had also anticipated this scene a long time ago, and brought a lot of wound medicine for these people to smear, making his subordinates grateful.

This is the secret recipe of the martial arts Li family, which not only stops bleeding and heals injuries, but also effectively soothes pain.

Soon, the rest of the iron cavalry heard about it, so several of Li Shimin's colleagues also came to discuss it.

Li Shimin responded to all requests without the slightest hesitation. The secret wound medicine he brought this time was enough, enough for half a carriage.

Originally, I was trying to get these medicines to earn some favors.

Li Shimin then walked around the camp again, and only after finding nothing wrong did he return to his temporary residence in the palace.

Because the one palace and one capital under his command are responsible for the three princes and princesses of the arch guard Ashina, as well as the three royal grandsons, the location of their camp is also arranged on the east side of the palace, close to the palace wall.

Li Shimin was also able to obtain a small courtyard in the palace as a temporary residence. There is no need to live in a tent like several other martial arts captains.

But even in the middle of the night, Li Shimin was still in good spirits.

At this time, the 'Zhou Tian Xuanling Yuan Qi Mantra' and the 'Five Rounds of Divine Qi Determination' he practiced had become more and more profound, which also made his spirit and spirit grow greatly.

Every night, he only needs to sleep for two hours to ensure that he has energy all day long.

In normal times, after Li Shimin assembled the ink armor for two or three hours, he had to practice the Ferris Wheel and Liuhe Chongquan several times, and then toss his own lance technique, knife technique, spell and so on.

In short, he can't sleep until midnight.

But today, after all, it is the time of marching, and everything can only be simplified.

Li Shimin only planned to practice the lance method a few times, and then practice the two fundamental exercises of 'Zhou Tian Xuanling Yuan Qi Mantra' and 'Five Rounds of Divine Qi Determination', and it would be over.

And late that night, when Li Shimin was dancing in the small courtyard, his whole body was full of lightning, covering the surrounding places.

But what is even more surprising is the speed of the spear in Li Shimin's hand. Even the Sharakshasa next to him could only see pieces of phantoms, and he couldn't capture the location and traces of this lance at all.

"Childe's Qiankun Thunder Spear has actually progressed to this point-"

He couldn't help but shudder, and subconsciously touched his throat. I can't imagine what kind of scene I would be if I fought against Li Shimin at this time.

Li Shimin's spurt is not only extremely fast, but also not inferior in strength, with a power of 10,000 jun and a swift speed.

Without the right weapon to defend himself, he would most likely be impaled by the tip of his lance in a few shots.

Yang Yun next to her was bright-eyed.

She majored in the Phantom Electric Heavenly Sword, which is also a thunder-based martial art, and the true meaning of the martial arts she has comprehended is also related to thunder and lightning.

Although there is a great difference between the lance method and the knife method, at this time, Li Shimin, for some of the methods used by thunder and lightning, made her feel quite eye-opening and enlightened.

By the time Li Shimin finished practicing a set of Qiankun Thunder Spears, he felt very satisfied.

And Shi Rakshasa couldn't stop admiring: "Childe's understanding is really rare in the world and unprecedented." You should have only been practicing this 'Qiankun Thunder Spear' for less than two months? I think my talent is not bad, but in front of you, Son, I am really ashamed of myself and embarrassed. ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he smiled embarrassedly: "Where does this depend on my own understanding? This is because I have recently obtained a good thing, so I can make progress in this marksmanship, so you don't have to feel inferior at all, great monk."

He really didn't rely on his own ability to comprehend this 'Qiankun Thunder Spear', the broken blade of the 'Thunder God Spear' lent to him by Qinghua Yuanjun was the reason for his rapid progress recently.

And during this time, he didn't do anything, so he focused on this marksmanship.

He can't do this if he doesn't, after all, the rent of this broken blade of the 'Thunder God Spear' is as high as 100,000 yuan per month.

Li Shimin is extremely glad that he is a spiritual and martial dual cultivator, not only can he understand the residual rhyme of martial intent in this truncated blade, but he can also use the method of channeling spirits, peeking at the martial mourning king, and using this fragment of the divine weapon.
