After Li Shimin returned to the left rear camp, he began to get busy, preparing to transfer manpower to return to Luoyang.

Although he had never been in the yamen, he knew that no matter what case he wanted to investigate, the most important thing was time.

What he had to do now was to rush back to the Eastern Capital before those possible clues disappeared over time, unearth them as quickly as possible, and then follow the vine.

What made Li Shimin embarrassed was that the Son of Heaven had not delayed until today before he gave him the authority to thoroughly investigate the Eight Divisions of the Demon Dragon. The power and wrist of the latter, it is estimated that at this time, everything that should be dealt with has been dealt with almost enough.

However, he regretted it, but he did not have any intention of complaining about it. The appointment of the Son of Heaven must have gone through a game and competition, and Li Shimin can know how huge the resistance is just by imagining.

If it weren't for the embroidered clothes guard and the Yushitai, Si Litai, etc., which made the Son of Heaven disappointed repeatedly, there was no progress in the past few days, and he couldn't explain to the Son of Heaven, he asked himself if it was impossible to get this errand.

Even now, Li Shimin is only responsible for tracking down the traces of the Eight Divisions of the Demon Dragon, and giving help to Wang Chonggu, Pei Yun and Liu Yan

The people responsible for investigating this rebellion case are still Wang Chonggu, Liu Yan and others.

And what really bothers Li Shimin at this time is that there are not many people he can use now. In the battle three days ago, Yang Yun and Shi Rakshasa and others all fought to the death, and they were all injured at this time.

Before that, the Son of Heaven gave him two shadow guards, one Liu Chen and one Zhan Ba, both of whom were first-class martial arts cultivators, and their strength was very good. Although it is not as good as Luo Li, it is only inferior, between the battlefield generals and the masters of the rivers and lakes.

If the two of them can take a step forward on the basis of what they are now, it will be the level of Gao Tianyi and Tang Yuanhua.

But these two are only responsible for protecting Li Shimin's safety, and are not responsible for helping him investigate the case.

As for the eldest grandson Wuji and others, he also didn't need them, and few of the generals under Li Shimin's command were intact. Even if there were, I would have to help him deal with the complicated affairs of the camp.

The so-called snake has no head and does not work, the bird has no wings and does not fly, the emperor will return to the eastern capital in the next few days, and the soldiers of the Great Cause Hall and Xuanjiadu will return to Beijing with them, and they cannot be without the people who lead them. And the wounded, too, need to be taken care of.

After that, there were one hundred and fifty guards under Li Shimin's command, but these people are currently suffering heavy casualties, fifteen people died from the roar of Shi Wansui alone, and the rest of the more than 20 people were killed on the spot by the aftermath of the fight between those super powerhouses.

The rest of the rest are all in a state of serious injury, and they are still lying in bed.

Even Fan Shixing was not spared, although Li Shimin's personal guard captain was in a better situation than others, he also temporarily lost his sense of hearing, and he couldn't help him in a short time.

- Li Shimin suspects that if this continues, he may no longer find someone to be his personal guard. Under his hands, the casualty rate was simply too high.

Although Li Shimin has fought for the best compensation for all those who died in the war. All survivors also have a lot of rewards. He even got a good future for some of them, and soon he could be transferred to the forbidden army and the border army as officers—but he believed that after this battle, his subordinates would be more aware of the preciousness of life.

Compared with the fame and fortune in the future, the bright future is more important than one's own life, and peace and security are blessings.

So now by Li Shimin's side, there are only faceless arrows Luo Li and Yuan Hao who can rely on as arms to help - at most one more Zhang Yurou.

And that night, Yuan Hao was in Li Shimin's military tent, looking at the embroidered guard uniform on his body with self-suffocation in his eyes.

"I really didn't expect that after I was wanted by the imperial court for more than ten years, when I was about to stand, I could actually mix into an embroidered guard captain and become a court eagle dog. ”

"It's just for the convenience of investigating the case, and I don't have reliable manpower available in the embroidered clothes. ”

Li Shimin squinted at this: "This is Your Majesty's special permission to give me two embroidered guard captains." If Yuan Daoyou doesn't like it, he can refuse. ”

"Why refuse? I like it very much, as far as I know. The salary of the captain of the embroidered guard is not low, and he can get an extra salary, who doesn't like it?"

After Yuan Tianhao smiled awkwardly, his expression was solemn: "Regarding the Demon Dragon Babu, I don't know the master, where are you going to start?"

The question he asked had also been asked by Wang Chonggu before. But Li Shimin's answer was completely different from that time.

"I don't have a clue now, I can only plan a four-pronged approach at present, one is the line of Webster, which must be traced, the second is the list provided by the King of Qi, the third is to strictly investigate human trafficking, and the fourth is the Thousand Machine Gate, as far as I know, the dragon blood war puppet is from the hands of the first two generations of Qian Jizi, Yang Xuan, the King of Qi, also said that the Eight Divisions of the Demon Dragon once provided him with a large number of mechanical equipment. However, these things, others must also be tracking, and they can't be in a hurry for a while. Until then, our immediate priority is to make up for the embroidered guards under my command. The so-called work wants to do a good job, must first sharpen its tools, without reliable and competent manpower, we can't do anything,"

Li Shimin said as he took out the list and put it on the table in front of him.

"Senior Luo and Yuan Daoyou have been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and they have seen and heard a lot, so they must be no strangers to embroidered clothes. As for the benevolent people, you are even more intelligent and intelligent, with a broad face, and you are familiar with the palace, so you can help me with one or two. Who is available on this roster and who needs to be excluded?"

"Then you're really looking for the right person!"

Yu Wenshi and the decent, first took the roster in his hand and looked at it, and then the corners of his lips skimmed slightly, and his eyes showed a smile: "It seems that Li Kaifu's friendship with the prince does not seem to be very good." I see that in this list, there is not even a single one who stands out, all of them are inconsequential marginal people. ”

"Expected. ”

Li Shimin noticed that from the beginning of entering the camp tent, Yu Wenshi was 'Li Kaifu' on the left and 'Yong'an County Bo' on the right. If it were someone else's words, he might express his true feelings, but his little hair never meant that.

At this time, even if Li Shimin was ten miles away, he could smell the sourness emanating from Yu Wenshi and his body.

After all, at this time, as the emperor's son-in-law, Yu Wenshi was still just a 'Shangyi Tongsansi', and as for the title, he had nothing.

Li Shimin only looked calm without noticing, and he didn't look surprised: "The Son of Heaven suddenly asked me to insert a bar at this time, no matter how generous the prince is, he doesn't like it." It's already good that you didn't make things difficult for me. The situation is not as exaggerated as you said, I have carefully read this roster, although these are some people who are not reused in embroidery and guards, but it does not necessarily mean that there are no talents among them, among which there are many masters above the fifth grade. ”

But the problem people also account for at least half of them. Even some of the really talented ones in it are now in a state of resentment. Just think about it, they have been refrigerated for so long, and they have never come out, and now they have been transferred to your Li Kaifu, and the future is even more bleak. It's not hard to imagine what kind of mood these people will have. It's not easy for you to subdue them,"

Yu Wenshi continued to mock: "If I were them, most of them would be passive and perfunctory, and it would be very good if I didn't sell you." ”

Li Shimin heard what he said, and he was just an outsider who suddenly stepped in for the embroidered guard. Serving him, the embroidered general, is not a very important thing, and in the eyes of many high-level embroidered guards, most of these people will be regarded as traitors.

The future is nothing more than a future, once Li Shimin is no longer in office,

However, Yu Wenshi and the problem he said, he already had a way to solve it.

"This matter is not to be worried about Brother Renren, Your Majesty has promised me. Once Ben will reveal the details of the Eight Divisions of the Demon Dragon and rectify the culprit, he can recommend to His Majesty two embroidered generals, eight embroidered captains, and one hundred and forty places for embroidered clothes. Since I, Li Shimin, have transferred them to my command, it is absolutely impossible for them to have no end in the future. ”

As he spoke, Li Shimin took out a large volume of documents from his sleeve and shook it slightly proudly in the direction of Yu Wenshiji.

The latter took a closer look, and it was all letters of appointment. It has been written that 'so-and-so, as the embroidered guard general' and other words, and it has also been stamped with the seal of the Son of Heaven, only the name of the person is blank.

"You guy, how is this possible?"

Yu Wenshiji's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it: "This is fake, isn't it?, Your Majesty, how could he agree to such a ridiculous thing?"

But he knew that it was impossible for Li Shimin to forge this kind of appointment letter by himself, and that was a matter of losing his head. His hair is small, and no matter how strong the holy family is, it is useless.

Li Shimin didn't bother to explain, and asked with a smile: "I think Brother Renren, can you rest assured now?"

"What's the use of that? Aren't you going to be snubbed by your colleagues in the future?"

Although Yu Wenshi said this, his hand quickly sketched on the roster.

And just a moment later, Yu Wenshi threw this list to Luo Li: "There are only more than sixty people outlined in this red circle, barely usable." Li Kaifu, you have to be reliable and capable, that's really embarrassing for me. ”

Luo Li was silent, and it often took half a minute to draw a person's name on this roster after carefully flipping through the pages.

About an hour and a half later, Luo Li passed this thick roster to Yuan Tianhao: "I don't know much about embroidery guards, only these thirteen people have been in contact before, and their abilities are not bad." Well, I mean force, and tracking. ”

He had been wanted by the imperial court before, and had fought with the embroidered guards no less than forty times, so he was deeply impressed by these former opponents.
