When Li Shimin entered the palace to see the little princess, the scene was extremely embarrassing. The latter pouted the whole time, staring at him coldly, the two of them obviously stayed in the warm pavilion with charcoal fire, but Li Shimin felt that his temperature was even colder than outside the warm pavilion.

Li Shimin couldn't help but have a headache: "I know that there are fewer people after the New Year than before, but aren't you busy? Princess, don't you know, these days for the New Year, I have been running around with my father, almost without touching the ground, and when I rarely have leisure, I don't have time to enter the palace at all." Before this, I had never broken my trust with the princess, even when I was doing things for Your Majesty, I still found time to teach you the princess. Princess, you said that I didn't keep my word, crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, this is not very fair. And didn't I say, at most a month, I'll be back. Things over there can't be delayed for long. ”

"The devil believes you!"

The little princess was still indignant, and looked too lazy to deal with Li Shimin: "When you come back from Kansai, you will have to go to Liaodong with you to fight." I've inquired, and your Daye Hall and Xuanjiadu are all on the list. You're clearly fooling me. ”

Li Shimin thought to himself, why is this girl so well-informed?

I came here this time just as a teacher to say goodbye to my apprentice, but it turned out as if I had come to appease my wife who had been resentful for a long time.

"Having said that, this battle of Liaodong must not start until the end of spring and early summer, and it is not too late for me to rush to Liaodong at the end of March. You know that there are still many capable people under me, such as the eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest grandson Shunde, Gongsun Wuda, Murong Luohu, etc., we are all first-class commanders, let them help me manage the affairs of the army, there is really nothing to worry about. So I'm in Luoyang, and I have to stay for two months. ”

The little princess looked a little gloomy at this time, so she asked half-convinced: "Is it true? You will come back in a month and leave until the end of March?"

"It's true!"

Li Shimin laughed, and his demeanor and tone were as sincere as he was: "You may even have to stay in Luoyang for a longer time." The princess needs to know that I still have the matter of tracking down the Eight Divisions of the Demon Dragon on my back, and it may not be able to be solved in just two or three months. And even if you go to Liaodong, I will write to you. ”

Yang Ying on the other side finally turned his anger into joy, and Li Shimin also took the hot railway: "You can say it, what gift do you want? Your teacher is very sincere this time, as long as the price is not too expensive, no matter what it is, I will definitely find a way to bring it back for you. ”

Mainly the goods from the Western Regions, some of the treasures transported from Persia, Anxi, Daqin and other places, as early as when they entered the Sui Realm, they had been divided up by the major merchants. What flows into Luoyang is only a part of it, and most of them are extremely expensive.

"I've heard that there's something called a music box in the Western Regions, which can play music, and it's amazing. If you see one, bring one back for me. ”

When Yang Ying said this, the corners of her lips raised slightly: "Forget the rest, I just need you to write me at least one letter every day, if you can do it, I will forgive you this time." ”

Li Shimin felt a pain in his brain again, and he still wrote a letter a day? Where did he have so much time to do these things?

In comparison, the other Princess Minghui is much easier to deal with. But in his mind, this one was originally incidental, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

"In other words, Vilusha, you are going to Kansai for a month, and you can't go back to Henan during this time. ”

"Exactly!"

Li Shimin bowed slightly: "I heard that the princess's return date is ten days later, and she originally planned to see her off in person." But now that something has happened in Kansai, I can only say goodbye to you in advance. ”

Originally, this princess Minghui should have returned to the grassland a long time ago, and she has been dragging it out until today, and she is still stranded in the eastern capital of the Great Sui.

However, this was already the limit, and he had heard from Ashinash that the messengers who set out from the Turkic court to urge Minghui to return were a wave almost every three days.

Even the emperor and queen of their Great Sui didn't want to keep it anymore. They were deeply afraid that something would happen to Ashina Minghui and affect the diplomatic relations between the Turkic Great Sui.

"Actually, I've heard about Viruja, too. ”

Princess Minghui blinked her blue eyes: "Is it the so-called Western Qin Overlord Xue Ju?"

Li Shimin immediately refused: "The last general thanks the princess for her kindness, but after all, this is the last general's own business, how dare you bother the princess?"

This is indeed a matter between his own family and Qinglong Villa, and Li Shimin doesn't want to involve this princess.

He wants to do good business with the Turks, but if he can't even handle the affairs of his own territory, he will only make the Turks look down on him.

If he must cooperate, he wants to show his strength to these Turks and win the respect of the other party. This kind of business cooperation can be long-lasting.

Princess Minghui looked at me with a look of concern: "Do you look down on me?

Li Shimin couldn't help but be taken aback, he knew that Princess Minghui was very favored in the Turkic court, but he didn't know that Princess Yicheng would love this princess to this extent.

According to the tradition that everyone in the steppe is a soldier, 40,000 herdsmen means at least 40,000 huge cavalry troops.

And Da Qi Jin is in the steppe, only inferior to the Khan's honorable title.

is also the noble bloodline of Ashina, as the Turkic princes, Ashinash Bobi and Ashina Simo, compared to this princess, it is too much worse.

Then he smiled dumbly: "The princess has misunderstood, you are the beloved daughter of the Turkic Kedun today, who dares to look down on you?" But I really don't need the princess's help here, a border tyrant, does Her Royal Highness think that I can't help him?"

"What you can do, I naturally know,"

Princess Minghui looked at Li Shimin suspiciously: "But I also heard that Xue Ju is rich and rivals the country, with tens of thousands of slaves, and there are 8,000 people with armor under his command, and he is also a super-grade master." Therefore, even those leaders of Tiele and the Qiang people did not dare to offend easily. You are now compared to him like a giant and an ant. Unless you are willing to use the power of your family, that's another two words. ”

Li Shimin still shook his head: "Xue Ju is strong, I naturally know it." But I'm still confident, and that's telling. The princess has good intentions, and the last general can only understand it. ”

"You-"

Princess Minghui couldn't help but squint her eyes, with a look of wanting to say something. But then she rolled her eyes and smiled slightly: "Since you insist, then forget it." However, if you feel that you are unable to support yourself in the future, remember to ask me for help. You were able to sacrifice your life to save me before, so this princess is naturally willing to help you. ”

She was thinking that it was useless for her to say anything to Li Shimin now, and since she decided to help with this matter, it didn't matter whether Li Shimin agreed or not. She decided to do this anyway, so why bother to ask Li Shimin what she meant?

Li Shimin didn't know what Minghui was thinking, but when this woman really decided to stand by and watch, he suddenly smiled with relief on his face: "If there is a place to ask for a princess in the future, the last general will not be polite to you." ”

※ ※ ※ ※

is different from Li Shimin, when he sees the little princess, he is spoiled and has a headache and helplessness, and it is also different from when he talks to Minghui, he deals with it carefully, and when he meets his eldest grandson, he only has simple enjoyment.

The place where the two met secretly was in a restaurant outside the North City Gate. The eldest grandson Wuji gave them a look at the wind below, and at this time, he and the eldest grandson Wuji snuggled together by the window on the top floor, without saying a word, silently looking at the scenery outside, enjoying the warmth of this vein.

This was not the first time they had met in these days, Li Shimin had gone to Gaofu alone to pay a visit, and the eldest grandson Wujian was also led by the elders to congratulate Li Yuan and his wife on the New Year. But at that time, the two of them spent time alone.

So at this moment, whether it is Li Shimin or the eldest grandson, they all enjoy this time extraordinarily, and no one wants to destroy this tranquility.

However, when the sun in the west gradually fell to the side of the mountain, the eldest grandson Wujian still let out a sigh and took the initiative to leave Li Shimin's side.

"Brother Virusha, you will definitely come back safely this time, right?"

"It's nature!"

Li Shimin smiled, stretched out his hand and pinched the little face of the eldest grandson: "What are you worried about? Your husband is not even afraid of an evil spirit like Shi Wansui, and when he fights with it, he will die at the hands of the so-called Western Qin Overlord?"

The eldest grandson couldn't help but purse the corners of his lips, thinking that her fiancé Jun was obviously cheating on her as a child.

She probably inquired about the specific situation from the eldest grandson Wuji, although the latter was not very clear. But she knew that Xue Juqi, who and his father Xue Wang, had been in charge of the position of captain of Jincheng for more than 60 years, and his influence in Hexi was huge and deep-rooted, where was it easy to deal with?

Her eldest grandson Wujian is not an uninformed woman, can the evil spirit of Shi Wansui in an incomplete state be the same thing as a real super-grade rank?

What's more, after that war, Li Shimin was also seriously injured and dying, and it was only thanks to a 'peach and plum life talisman' made by her master that she recovered.

Thinking of this, the eldest grandson Wujian couldn't help but move his lips, but after all, he still didn't say the sentence 'can you not go to Xijing'.

She knew that Li Shimin's private salt business in Kansai was very large. The salaries of Luo Li, Shi Benwu, Shi Rakshasa and others under his command are all threatened by the profits obtained from the sale of illicit salt.

And now her brother Erlang is also completely different from a year ago. At this time, between her fiancé's eyebrows, she was no longer indifferent, but like his brother, full of ambition.

Thinking of this, the eldest grandson Wujian couldn't help but sigh again, and then took out a peace charm from his sleeve and tied it around Li Shimin's waist.

"Xue Ju or something, I don't know. But what you promised me, you must do it, Brother Erlang must remember that in Luoyang City, there is still a girl waiting for you. If you have anything in case, that girl doesn't want to live anymore, you know?"

Li Shimin's body shook slightly, and then his face was full of wry smiles.
